[00:00] <jeiworth> Reepicheep: ok, we'll give it a try, thanks!
[00:01] <ruben23_> sata is not supported on ubuntu..?
[00:03] <Reepicheep> ruben23_:  sata is supported .. it is the controller card that may not be
[00:04] <jeiworth> hggdh: yes, me too, i have 2 linksys, which both run with ddr-wrt, so i dont really remember what options are available in the original firmware
[00:04] <jeiworth> lol ddr :D dd-wrt of course
[00:05] <jeiworth> brb
[00:05] <Reepicheep> jeiworth: you should then be able to block it at the router with dd-wrt (as long as that is the router that you are working with)
[00:06] <Edwin1979> jeiworth: an off-topic question...
[00:06] <Edwin1979> jeiworth: what is the meaning of 'brb' ? :D
[00:06] <Reepicheep> but like I said before security comes in layers .. so block it at as many layers as possible
[00:07] <Reepicheep> Edwin1979: brb = be right back
[00:07] <Edwin1979> thanks Reepicheep !!! :D
[00:10] <jeiworth> Edwin1979: hehe brb==be right back  ;)
[00:10] <Edwin1979> thanks jeiworth ;)
[00:10] <jeiworth> Edwin1979: iirc there is a whole wikipedia pages dedicated to irc abreviations :D
[00:10] <jeiworth> (iirc==if i remember correctly)
[00:11] <Edwin1979> jajajajaja, another IRC abreviation ;)
[00:12] <jeiworth> Edwin1979: hehe are you from a spanish speaking country maybe?
[00:14] <Edwin1979> yes I am jeiworth, I imagine because our way to laugh (jajajaja instead of hahahaha or hehehehe, right) ;)
[00:14] <Edwin1979> I imagine you discovered that*
[00:14] <pixlbox> i wanna use python and django with my server, has anyone installed these before ?
[00:18] <DelphiWorld> hi
[01:11]  * KillMeNow is no longer away : Gone for 1 hour 17 minutes 12 seconds
[01:35] <jetole> does anyone know a good log aggregation type system for linux/unix syslog and windows event log where it is collected in one place and allows an easy way to view/manage log data?
[01:40] <pmatulis> KillMeNow: hey, did you get ruben sorted out last night?
[01:46] <KillMeNow> i am not sure
[01:46] <KillMeNow> last i heard he installed openssh-server and never came back
[01:47] <KillMeNow> eariler today he was having issues with mkfs ext2 when installing ubuntu
[01:47] <KillMeNow> jetole - hit freshmeat.net or sourceforge
[01:48] <KillMeNow> just make sure you pick a project that is recent...  you can also push all syslog to another server and then use ngsyslog ?  it allows you to collect syslog info in to a mysql database
[01:48] <KillMeNow> google around, you should find something you're looking for
[01:50] <cjwatson> or indeed rsyslog, which is what we'll be using in karmic
[01:50] <pmatulis> cjwatson: really?  so that's final?
[01:50] <cjwatson> yes
[01:55] <KillMeNow> cjwatson, does rsyslog allow logging in to a SQL Database?
[01:55] <pmatulis> KillMeNow: yes it does
[01:55] <KillMeNow> oooh...  that's hawt...  last time i did it was on Centos 4 using syslogng or was it ngsyslog
[01:56] <KillMeNow> anyways, it was hawt!
[01:56] <pmatulis> rsyslog has a lot of nifty features
[01:57] <pmatulis> native encryption, disk queues, and logging templates come to mind
[01:57] <KillMeNow> last time i set it up was to collect all the PPPoE authentications from a Redback, made life easier to grep out issues
[01:59]  * pmatulis has trouble with people who beg for help and disappear once provided the missing piece
[02:00]  * KillMeNow believes in "Teach a man to fish and he'll feed himself"
[03:09] <e-jat> if i have dual quad processor ... how to check/monitor if ubuntu maximize / utilizing all the cpu cores? if from top i can see it using 1 cpu only ..
[03:13] <twb> e-jat: you should have a load of n where n is the total number of cores.
[03:13] <twb> That is, if it is under full load.
[03:13] <twb> For example, a dual-core, single-cpu system would have a load of around 2.00 when fully utilized.
[03:14] <twb> uptime(1) is an easy way to print the load averages.
[03:25] <oh_noes> Anyone know anything about open-vm-tools and if/when they'll ever be a stable production version to install on 8.04 LTS servers?
[03:41] <twb> oh_noes: you mean compared to vmware-tools?
[03:41] <oh_noes> well, vmware tools isnt a deb package is it ?
[03:41] <twb> They're essentially the same codebase, so I don't see how they're any less stable.
[03:41] <twb> Note that open-vm-tools is *only* for vmware guests.
[03:42] <oh_noes> well, canonical arent publishing open-vm-tools in the primary production repositorries because it's not stable
[03:42] <twb> oh_noes: so by extension, neither is VMware
[03:43] <twb> But I think you'll find Ubuntu place open-vm-tools in multiverse because it is unsupported software that depends on unsupported proprietary software (namely, vmware), and it is not available in Hardy because it didn't exist at the time.
[03:44] <oh_noes> oh, so its in multiverse, just not main.
[03:46] <twb> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=open-vm-tools
[03:47] <twb> Usually I have a test server with all categories and a bunch of releases enabled, so I can see what's what using apt.
[03:55] <poseidon> I'm trying to create a little home server with an old computer and ubuntu-server.  I can't seem to get the wireless card to work, however
[03:55] <poseidon> It's a d-link dwa-130
[03:56] <twb> !lspci
[03:56] <twb> !wireless
[03:58] <twb> poseidon: you might not get much help with wireless here, as it's rarely used in a server.  You might wanna also try #ubuntu or something.  (By all means hang around here, too, though.)
[04:46] <billybigrigger> if i want a video to play inside the browser, do i have to have apache parse .avi files properly?
[04:46] <billybigrigger> http://www.thefrozencanuck.ca/burnout.avi doesn't seem to want to play
[04:46] <billybigrigger> but i know its on the server
[04:47] <billybigrigger> ahh wrong perms
[04:48] <billybigrigger> nope still not workign
[04:48] <billybigrigger> 766 should be good enough to view it?
[04:51] <twb> billybigrigger: works for me
[05:00] <billybigrigger> ya i think its firefox 3.6 thats the problem
[05:00] <billybigrigger> crashes everytime i hit the link
[05:21] <twb> I was testing with wget
[05:27] <billybigrigger> ahh
[05:27] <twb> Firefox is for chumps
[05:27] <billybigrigger> i thought it might have been the app handler in apache or perms
[05:28] <billybigrigger> seems to be working now though
[05:28] <billybigrigger> 3.6 is nice :P
[05:28] <twb> I guess you need to make sure it's sending the appropriate content type
[05:28] <billybigrigger> startup times feel like its being restored from minimizing
[05:28] <twb> Content-Type: video/x-msvideo
[05:30] <billybigrigger> where can i add content types
[05:31] <billybigrigger> i was going to add it to /mods-availabe/mime.conf
[05:31] <billybigrigger> but see no other similar entries
[06:05] <twb> billybigrigger: sorry, that is what content-type you ARE sending, I guess it's right
[06:06] <twb> The content-type is what the browser uses to work out what to do with the file
[06:14] <MT-> Anybody around that uses logcheck?
[06:19] <twb> !anyone
[06:25] <MT-> Would this regex -> ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ CRON\[[0-9]+\]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user smmsp by \(uid=0\) match this string? Jul  8 08:20:01 insto CRON[30795]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user smmsp by (uid=0)
[06:26] <MT-> twb: sorry
[06:28] <twb> MT-: the logcheck docs explain how to test regexs
[06:28] <MT-> oh, ok
[06:29] <MT-> thanks
[06:36] <twb> (Sorry, I'm a bit busy.)
[07:34] <alex_joni> greetings, having a small routing problem (probably something misconfigured, but can't figure it out)
[07:35] <alex_joni> I have a NAT box (8.04 server) with 2 interfaces (eth0 internal, eth1 external ip)
[07:35] <alex_joni> when I try to reach the internal network, I see the server is using it's external ip addy.. any idea what I should check?
[07:35] <alex_joni> (route seems ok)
[07:36] <cemc> alex_joni: reach how ?
[07:42] <twb> My wild guess is that your DNS setup is providing the wrong address for the server, to client machines on its LAN
[07:42] <twb> But the information you've given so far means it could be absolutely anything -- it's not really clear what you're trying to do.
[07:46] <_ruben> i'd guess that the nat rule is configured "too wide", as in: gets applied to internal traffic as well, instead of just internet-directed traffic
[07:47] <alex_joni> cemc: sorry.. found a problem in my iptables script
[07:48] <alex_joni> seems I was pushing everything through MASQ even the nat box
[07:48] <alex_joni> _ruben gets a cookie ;)
[07:48] <alex_joni> thanks guys
[07:51] <twb> Aw, I lost.
[08:01] <_ruben> hehe
[08:01] <_ruben> cookie for breakfast ... yum
[08:02] <twb> I got doughnuts yesterday!
[08:02] <twb> Usually I only have meal.
[08:03] <twb> Well, oats, anyway
[08:19] <MT-> I'm trying to setup loggerhead. I have no idea what I'm doing... I installed it and I have no idea where to go from here
[08:31] <CTShadow> i've got an ubuntu 8.10 server with 2 nic's sharing the same subnet and ltsp installed. on eht0 i've got my production network and on eth1 are my ltsp clients. the server leases ip's with dhcp via both interfaces, but does not respond on arp requests on eth1 (the ltsp interface). how can i fix this?
[08:58] <alex_joni> CTShadow: maybe you can try to enable proxy_arp on both interfaces
[08:58] <alex_joni> echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/proxy_arp
[08:59] <simplexio> CTShadow: just a guess but /proc/sy/net may have some nice switch to help
[09:00] <MT-> How can I get all of apache2 back to its original configuration?
[09:01] <simplexio> thoght. i have a bridge conf on 3 interfaces and all interface have proxy_arp 0
[09:02] <MT-> I tried to use apt-get --reinstall, I tried to purge and reinstall, nothing works - not all of the files are recreated
[09:02] <simplexio> MT-: dpkg-reconfgiure apache2 may help
[09:03] <simplexio> .. dpkg-reconfigure
[09:03] <MT-> I tried that too...
[09:03] <soren> MT-: Which files are you missing, exactly?
[09:04] <soren> purging the existing files and installing them again certainly should reset everything.
[09:04] <MT-> all of them
[09:04] <simplexio> MT-: one option is go to /var/cache/apt/archives/ and extract apache package and look if there is conf files that you can use, but that a little "hack" around package manager
[09:04] <MT-> I think I got it... needed to purge apache2.2-common first
[09:04] <soren> MT-: Which packages did you remove?
[09:05] <soren> MT-: Right. apache2.2-common owns the configuration files.
[09:06] <MT-> still not getting to loggerhead :(
[09:07] <soren> Hm? What does loggerhead have to do with it?
[09:07] <MT-> that was what made me screw everything up
[09:13] <MT-> So... can anybody help me figure out how to setup loggerhead?
[09:14] <MT-> I installed it and supposedly it should just work on port 8080, but it's not listening at all
[09:17] <MT-> oh....
[09:20] <twb> MT-: did you read /usr/share/doc/loggerhead/README.Debian.gz?
[09:20] <twb> And indeed anything else in that dir
[09:22] <MT-> twb: I'll try to work off that file
[09:27] <MT-> ok... so loggerhead will load once. If I reload the page or click anythin the daemon dies... -_-
[09:27] <CTShadow> alex_joni, simplexio: thanks, ill try that and report back
[09:33] <MT-> loggerhead is dying after every single page load - AH!
[09:33] <MT-> This is ALL I can get for error logs http://bzr.pastebin.com/m6d8b2cbb
[09:33] <MT-> error.log is empty
[09:38] <MT-> Can anybody tell me if this file looks right? I'm guessing it's probably why this is breaking? http://bzr.pastebin.com/ma4b26c3
[09:39] <soren> Sorry, never used loggerhead, so it's a bit hard to tell.
[10:04] <CTShadow> alex_joni: Unfortunately that did not work. i also did an /etc/init.d/networking restart. do i have to do anything else to make it work?
[10:19] <covidiu> Hi. How do I enable automatic updates on Ubuntu Server?
[10:28] <twb> drive-by querents :-/
[10:56] <pat_> hi all I have a file, where I need to pull the text after the word central............. eg central/test............ well I need to pull the word test.... and Ideas ? , i can do the regex on central but I cannot get the text afterwards. I don't want the entire line, just the text immediately afterward
[11:00] <alex_joni> pat_: I'd do a less | grep central| then sed
[11:00] <alex_joni> or awk
[11:12] <soren> pat_: Define "text immediately afterward". Up until the next space?
[11:16] <soren> pat_: If so, this should do the trick:
[11:16] <soren> sed -e '/central\// s/.*central\/\([^ ]*\).*/\1/ p' -n /path/to/the/file
[13:55] <PC_Nerd1011> Hi, running 8.04 server, sudo aptitude install samba hangs on "starting samba daemons".  /var/log/samba/log/smbd mentions a: Unknown parameter encountered: "commend"..... to me that looks like a compile time issue that should have been fixed - but i cannot find anything by googling the error....  can anyone help me get samba installed?
[14:00] <sommer> PC_Nerd1011: sounds like a config problem... should the word "commend" in /etc/samba/smb.conf be "comment" ?
[14:01] <_ruben> or command .. who knows .. still i wouldnt expect it to hang though
[14:01] <PC_Nerd1011> I'm not sure - I'll go and find it.. this was an install direct from "sudo aptitude install samba" - so I posted here straight away... just a moment.
[14:03] <PC_Nerd1011> looks like it was...  so its probably a typo I made a few months ago when I was playing around with different bits and peices ( all ne server and all) - and when I uninstalled them they didnt remove configuration files. :) (time to keep debugging)
[14:05] <sommer> PC_Nerd1011: just an fyi to remove a packages config files use apt-get purge $packagename
[14:10] <PC_Nerd1011> ahh ok thanks :)
[14:11] <PC_Nerd1011> um - how long should samba take to start on a dual code xeon server 2gb ram? - nothign in the error logs but hangs ( at least a minute so far) ?
[14:12] <sommer> PC_Nerd1011: should take a couple of seconds... looks like you have another problem
[14:14] <PC_Nerd1011> yup - just wiped the configuration file and starting fresh.
[14:16] <PC_Nerd1011> ok... completely original smb.conf file , dhcp.conf is empty, /var/logs/samba/... log.smbd and log.nmbd both state samba has started - yet sudo /etc/init.d/samba start just hangs..... any suggestions on debugging?
[14:18] <sommer> PC_Nerd1011: anything in /var/log/syslog
[14:18] <sommer> or /var/log/daemon.log
[14:18] <PC_Nerd1011> ok just a sec
[14:20] <PC_Nerd1011> nothing in the last few hours from daemon.log, and nothign timewise that coresponds in syslog ( there are a few cron entries, but again nothign within about 1.5 minutes of each attempt at starting)
[14:21] <PC_Nerd1011> * just tried again on syslog, and it appears that nmbd has written in a series of lines "become_local_master_stage2(396)", stating that my server {name} is now master on subnet IP.... but the IP is actually the server's IP and not the subnet at all.... could that be why its hangning?
[14:23] <sommer> PC_Nerd1011: possibly...  you could also set the "log level = 3" option in smb.conf
[14:23] <PC_Nerd1011> o..k.. , let me seek that line out.
[14:28] <PC_Nerd1011> I think its crashing on "reloading printcap cache" even though I'm pretty sure I commented out all the printing related conf entries.
[15:26] <acalvo> Hello.
[15:29] <acalvo> I work for an university, and we want to get rid of the manual deploying of OSes in the alum computers. We were thinking of using something thru BOOTP or PXE, but can't find a good tutorial or information. Does anyone know a good place to start?
[15:31] <msantos> acalvo: this was a big help for me: https://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install
[15:32] <acalvo> well, I've two questions
[15:33] <ruben23> hi got problem with ubuntu-server installation- when on partition part i got error the loading freeze...
[15:33] <acalvo> 1) will it always start from PXE Install Server even if there is an OS installed?
[15:33] <ruben23> how do i reformat my whole drive using linux installation disc
[15:33] <acalvo> 2) how good is to user partimage server?
[15:33] <msantos> acalvo: you can set boot preference in the bios usually
[15:33] <acalvo> ruben23, why don't start from scratch?
[15:33] <acalvo> ruben23, you can use mkfs.yourdesiredFS /dev/yourpartition
[15:34] <acalvo> acalvo, ok, but it will always prompt to the installation
[15:34] <ruben23> acalvo:  how do i do that--->can you give link to follow...?
[15:35] <msantos> if you set local disk first and pxe second, it will only prompt if the disk is not bootable
[15:35] <acalvo> msantos, good point...
[15:36] <ruben23> msantos:sorry for that, but got no idea on your point newbie here....sorry again.
[15:39] <acalvo> ruben23, for example, imagine you have the device SDA with 4 partitions, and you want to format SDA1 to EXT3, you must run mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 to achieve that
[15:41] <ruben23> acalvo: am about to install form scratch--------> normally im installing ubuntu-server but can proceed during the partition section loading coz it hanged up and freeze the process, several time i attempted, so i decide to reformat my sata hdd first before doing instalation again, can i have option to reformat my hdd with an ubuntu-server installation disc..?
[15:43] <acalvo> ruben23, well, yes, but it is part of the process. Of couse, you can do it from a terminal (ctrl+alt+[1-7]). But if your computer is hanging at the partitioning process, either is it something wrong with the media (CD or DVD) or is something wrong with your hardware
[15:44] <ruben23> hmm..possible--->thanks for the hint
[15:45] <ruben23> ill test the media first
[15:46] <acalvo> ruben23, there is an option at the selection menu of the media
[15:48] <ruben23> ok
[16:08] <TheFuzzball> Hello, I have installed Ubuntu server on a spair laptop so I can use it as a LAMP server but can't connect via an ethernet cable. How do I use the wifi card built into it?

[16:40] <mathiaz> kirkland: howdy!
[16:40] <mathiaz> kirkland: question about libvirt+kvm - is there a safe way to check that all guests have shutdown correctly while rebooting the host?
[17:09] <specto> !irssi
[17:10] <specto> how do I silence irssi parts and joins?
[17:14] <pmatulis> specto: go to #irssi
[17:16] <specto> pmatulis: eh, it was just a simple question thought someone might know
[17:19] <kirkland> mathiaz: virsh list ?
[17:20] <mathiaz> kirkland: hm - I was more thinking about the shutdown process
[17:20] <mathiaz> kirkland: when you reboot the host, are all the kvm processes just killed?
[17:20] <mathiaz> kirkland: is there a way to cleanly shutdown all the guests?
[17:21] <kirkland> mathiaz: i'm don't know for sure, but i would certainly hope so
[18:04] <jdstrand> mathiaz: virsh shutdown <vm>
[18:04] <mathiaz> jdstrand: right - does the shutdown libvirt script uses that?
[18:05] <jdstrand> mathiaz: that sends an acpi event and if the guest has acpid installed, it will shut it down cleanly. if it doesn't, nothing happens
[18:05] <mathiaz> jdstrand: right now I have to manually do that for all my vms before rebooting
[18:05] <jdstrand> 'shutdown libvirt script'?
[18:05] <jdstrand> oh
[18:05] <jdstrand> I don't know about that
[18:06] <cjwatson> http://lists.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-unix-dev/2009-July/027726.html, for anyone who's been worrying about this claimed openssh vulnerability
[18:06] <jdstrand> mathiaz: I can say that there is a bug in libvirt in Jaunty that will stop (iirc) all machines started after the vm you requested to shutdown is shutdown
[18:07] <jdstrand> ie, virsh start vm1 ; virsh start vm2 ; virsh shutdown vm1 -- both shutdown
[18:08] <mathiaz> jdstrand: right - this may be annoying
[18:08] <jdstrand> it may be fixed in karmic, I don't know yet
[18:09] <jdstrand> s/may/is/ ;)
[18:09] <jdstrand> s/may be/is/
[18:20] <jbernard> kirkland: around?
[18:35] <ivoks> just to give you an update on cluster stack
[18:35] <ivoks> it seems that we could have full cluster stack by the end of the next week

[21:27] <resno> I have Ubunutu server running and I would like to make it into a dual boot, how should re-partition the drive?
[21:40] <jpds> resno: Why would you want a server to dual-boot?
[21:40] <resno> jpds: i isntalled server on laptop for some development work...
[21:41] <resno> jpds: and to learn how to admin it...
[21:41] <jpds> Couldn't you have used a VM or something like that?
[21:42] <resno> in retrospect, that would have worked, but i didnt think this would happen.
[21:45] <resno> ok, thanks.
[22:01] <ruben23> hi, im instaling ubuntu server 8- on my server hardware problem is during reformatting- it takes long on 33% then my keyboard are blinking---> no progress, is this a signed of media errror or HDD....

[22:06] <ruben23> im using ubuntu-server
[22:37] <metalfan_> hi
[22:37] <metalfan_> what tool do you use to manage services that start at boot from the commandline?
[22:55] <ruben23> diffra:..?
[22:55] <ruben23> you there..?
[22:58] <ruben23> run smartctl -a /dev/sda1 (or /dev/hda1) <---------------how do i do this on boot installation disc..
[22:59] <ruben23> on the terminal
[23:08] <ruben23> anyone...?
[23:08] <ruben23> here can help
[23:13] <metalfan_> ruben23, change to a console
[23:13] <metalfan_> try alt+f2
[23:14] <ruben23>  metalfan_: yes i do
[23:14] <ruben23> then i run this smartctl -a /dev/sda1
[23:14] <ruben23> it shows NOT FOUND
[23:15] <ruben23> what would i do with that..?
[23:21] <diffra> That's why I didn't suggest using one of the terminals, i doubt it's on the install CD.
[23:22] <diffra> check all the terminals (alt+f2-f9... it's one of those) and look for error logs
[23:27] <ruben23> ok
[23:32] <metalfan_> ruben23, is that the complete error?
[23:32] <metalfan_> does it say command not found?
[23:33] <metalfan_> also i doubt that sda1 is right, sda would make more sense since you are searching for drive errors
[23:34] <metalfan_> also check is sda is the correct drive/if its there
[23:34] <metalfan_> have to go now
