oh_noesIs there  an opem-vm-tools binary package for Ubuntu JeOS 8.04.3 LTS?01:43
oh_noesOr maybe I should ask, which repository has it?01:43
=== photon is now known as Guest82724
jgedeonoh_noes: I don't think it is in the repositories.02:03
jgedeonoh_noes:  Looks like it made it into intrepid and jaunty02:04
jgedeonBut not hardy02:05
oh_noesI think thats cos it was never 'originally' super stable for LTS release02:05
oh_noesbut I was hoping now, the code would be acceptable02:05
oh_noesunless theres another reason02:05
roxy09hi...i am trying to install a ldap backup server. I read the documentation but still i am not sure if i need to install everything like the main server and then some special configuration ?02:06
roxy09teh documentation said do somehitng in the serve but im not sure if they mean the main server or the secondary server02:07
jgedeonoh_noes: Lanchpad has them for hardy.02:07
jgedeonhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/open-vm-tools/+builds02:07
jgedeonoh_noes: but I think I would just get them for sourceforge and install the newer ones or go with what vmware server 2 has.02:09
oh_noesjgedeon: they are over 16 months old02:09
jgedeonhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/open-vm-tools/files/open-vm-tools/open-vm-tools-2009.06.18-172495.tar.gz/download02:10
oh_noesjgedeon: I need to automatically deploy JeOS VM's with it on there though .. is there a deb-src of them anywhere?02:10
oh_noesthe sourceforge page onyl has the source ...02:10
oh_noes(tar.gz src)02:10
jgedeonOh ok02:10
twbDebian source packages are available within the normal package archive.02:11
twbAdd deb-src entries to your sources.list, then use "apt-get source open-vm-tools"02:11
twbIf you need a newer version of a package, you should investigate -updates and -backports before building from upstream source, since packaged versions often include significant integration and bug fixes that are not available upstream.02:12
twb!updates02:12
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about updates02:12
twb!hardy-updates02:12
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about hardy-updates02:12
twbBah.02:12
oh_noestwb: how would you then recommend for me to quickly deploy/install it on i386 hardy boxes here as part of an internal distribution?02:12
twboh_noes: you maintain an SOE?02:13
oh_noesCompile and create my own i386 deb from deb-src?02:13
oh_noesYes02:13
twbYou should first try to use the .deb unchanged from, say, intrepid.02:13
oh_noestwb: ok i'll; give that a go02:14
twbThat, or the version in hardy-backports or hardy-updates02:14
twbAccording to http://packages.ubuntu.com/open-vm-tools, that specific package is not available in any hardy native repo.02:15
twbSo yeah, first try installing from the newer release unchanged, then if that doesn't work try apt-get build-dep open-vm-tools && apt-get source --build open-vm-tools to generate a binary rebuild for hardy.02:16
twbIf *that* doesn't work, you'll need to do more investigation -- possibly changing versions in debian/control or similar02:16
roxy09Hi...somebody know about backup ldap server..i am trying to install a ldap backup server. I read the documentation but still i am not sure if i need to install everything like the main server and then some special configuration ?02:18
twbWhat is an ldap backup server?02:18
twbDo you mean an LDAP server that acts a slave to a master server, with failover to the slave if the master goes offline?02:19
roxy09yes02:19
twbDunno about that, sorry.02:19
twbYou can also try #openldap or similar.02:19
oh_noesam I drunk, or is there no way to download the deb from http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/open-vm-tools ?02:20
roxy09sorry im new in the ofrum...how i can go there02:21
roxy09forum02:21
roxy09i got02:22
qman__oh_noes, click either "amd64" or "i386", with respect to your architecture02:39
qman__it's a little unintuitive, I'll agree, but you click those, not the package name02:39
roxy09hi, I am using my server as nat and there is some users that are download bad content from internet by bitorrent...somebody know how I can detect who was the user or how i can block bitorrent?03:51
tsrk_roxy09, you could probably block the bittorrent ports somehow (sorry, I can't say any more specifically than that, but you should be able to find documentation that explains how to block ports)04:05
roxy09the problmes i bittorrent use any port04:14
twbTo block bittorrent you want to use the L7 iptables module.04:15
twbhttp://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/04:15
twb!learn l7 is is a classifier for Linux's Netfilter that identifies packets based on application layer data. It can classify packets as [peer-to-peer data] regardless of port.04:16
roxy09sonf good thanks...i am reading that...also do you know some program that i can detect traffic and conection by IP address /user and give me some statitic information. I would like to detect who is doing a bad use from internet as we are having a lot of legal problems because that04:30

=== dpreacher2 is now known as dpreacher
dpreacherhello people, I need help with debugging an issue of shell logins taking quite a long time on ubuntu server 8.10 64-bit. it started all of a sudden in the last 1-2 weeks06:39
dpreacherany and every help is very much appreciated06:39
dpreacherso far things i tried06:39
dpreacher1. tried to strace ssh since i primarily login via ssh.06:39
dpreacher2. however found that local logins took that delay as well.06:40
dpreacher3. also looked at dmesg found 560 lines with audit in them, hinting at inet6 which i believe is for ipv6 which we are not requiring...however this is not necessarily triggered at login06:41
jmarsdendpreacher: Did you try creating a new account and logging into that, so you have a brand new unmodified ~/.bashrc ?  Still slow?06:42
dpreachercheckin in a moment jmarsden,06:42
jmarsdendpreacher: OK.  If it is still slow, in that new account try    bash --login --noprofile    and see if that is slow.06:45
dpreacherjmarsden, can i try the 2nd suggestion before creating a new user06:46
jmarsdenSure, if you want :)06:46
simplexiodpreacher: i had that problem too.. fixed it removing Private directory mounting from pam.d06:48
dpreacherhmm...private directory was local path?06:48
dpreachersimplexio?06:48
dpreacherwhere do i check for nfs/cifs mounts? esp. the latter one?06:50
simplexiodpreacher: yes.06:50
simplexioi just removed it from pam.d and added line to motd to hint people use ecrypfs-private-mount06:51
dpreacherjmarsden,  bash --login --noprofile logged in absolutely instantly06:52
dpreacherim thinking /etc/bash.bashrc may be a possible suspect06:52
jmarsdendpreacher: OK.  Does    bas --login    do the same?06:52
dpreacherhave to check that,06:52
jmarsdendpreacher: Make that    bash --login06:53
dpreacherbash --login ? without --noprofile? jmarsden06:53
jmarsdenRight... if --noprofile makes the difference then the issue is something being done in the profile stuff...06:53
jmarsdenLet's confirm that before looking at specific files :)06:54
dpreachernope jmarsden, it went in quickly. i also put time command before bash and the times recorded were very very minutesimal06:54
jmarsdenOK.  So either that is because whatever was taking time is already done for that user, and subsequent times it is therefore quick, or else it is not profile stuff that is the cause.06:55
dpreacherwell i did su - user2 and then it took a real long time again, but running bash --login on that account also started another bash almost instantly06:57
dpreacherjmarsden06:57
dpreacherif i wanted to check if there are some unused nfs or cifs mounts, where'd i look, fstab itself? jmarsden06:58
simplexiomount tells allready mounted06:58
jmarsdenSounds like it is doing something that is slow "first time", but quick thereafter.  What is in anyway "unusual" about this machine?  What have you manually configured on it that might be worth investigating?06:59
jmarsdenAnd yes, you can read /etc/fstab to see what network file systems are configured there.07:01
dpreacher2jmarsden, my net dropped did u get all 3 points?07:01
jmarsdenNo, I saw nothing at all...07:01
dpreacher2<dpreacher>stuff that are unusual on this machine:07:01
dpreacher2<dpreacher>1. RAID setup07:01
dpreacher2<dpreacher>2. 3 NICs. 2 ISP lines and 1 LAN07:01
dpreacher2<dpreacher>3. its the gateway and DNS for the intranet07:01
psyferreHey folks, I'm having some trouble finding definite information anywhere online... if I install 64bit ubuntu, do I need to do anything special to make sure I install 64bit mysql?07:02
dpreacher2i dunno what else to include. nothing related to bash or logins was configured or installed jmarsden07:02
psyferreOr will apt get install mysql-server just automatically pull down the 64 bit package?07:02
jmarsdendpreacher2: Have you checked that DNS is working well, and that the machine can look up its own name quickly?07:03
jmarsdenpsyferre: Do nothing special, apt-get is smart enough to know what architecture your machine is.07:03
psyferrejmarsden: awesome... thanks07:03
jmarsdenNo problem.07:03
dpreacher2i can access the website on the server using the fqdn of the ubuntu server machine07:03
jmarsdenI'm guessing... long delays can be DNS related and you have a more complex than usual network setup...07:05
dpreacher3hello again07:06
dpreacher3whoa /me07:07
dpreacher3jmarsden i need to step out for a while...will come back soon and resume this.07:07
dpreacher3thanks for your help and time07:07
dpreacher3thanks simplexio as well07:07
jmarsdenOK... 11pm here... I may not may not be here much longer... need to sleep sometime :)07:07
altf2ojust out of curiosity, has anyone actually gotten Samba + LDAP working w/ the guides? Or damn near anything available on google?07:34

twbdayo: you have a application router, and a separate Ubuntu server?09:44
twbdayo: that is, you are not running Ubuntu on your router?09:44
dayotwb: correct. cisco 1800 router, and my ubuntu server hooked up to it, via router's switch09:45
twbDoes your router do NAT?09:45
twbi.e. does your Ubuntu server already have a public IP address on the internet?09:46

error404notfoundits python and i dont know much python11:49
alexmsince it seems the problem is only with the kernel, make sure you have jaunty kernel installed, take a look at http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/linux-image11:56
alexmdo you have a server install?11:57
alexmif so, make sure you have package linux-image-server installed, it should bring all the other dependencies11:58
error404notfoundalexm, i am using a vps on xen12:07
alexmso you upgraded the domU from intrepid to jaunty, is that right?12:08
rose_hello everyone...I need to install one samba print server but i need to authetificate with another ldap server. I just tried but doesn't work..I installed nss and pam, but still i dont know what i must to put in the configuration12:10

alexmerror404notfound: are both them dom0 and the domU running jaunty?12:15

alexmwithout any other option12:32
error404notfounddid...12:33
error404notfoundagain tried to uninstall and got same thing12:33
error404notfoundalexm, btw dom0 uses the xen.org kernel.  it's a heavily modified 2.6.18-812:36
alexmthat's the problem then, jaunty provides 2.6.2812:37
error404notfound2 major issues then: 1. Kernel, 2. Ksplice, i would say lets solev 2 first and then 1 as i am fine with 2.6.27 for now12:39
alexmanyway, are you sure you can run ksplice on a domU?12:39
error404notfoundi want to uninstall it, dont need it...12:40
alexmok then12:40
alexmso the problem is the broken uptrack, right?12:41

abel408Hello everyone! My Ubuntu server running KVM has been crashing as of late. About 3 times a day. It is usaully rock solid. Are there any logs I can check?21:14
abel408The server actually still has power and fans are spinning, but it appears to be dead. Monitor doesn't show anything either21:15
pwnguinautomatic suspend?21:19
pwnguinabel408: is the host server "crashing", or the virtual hosts?21:20
abel408The host21:20
pwnguingot a serial cable handy?21:21
abel408I do...21:21
pwnguini wonder if theres a way to get the kernel to dump the ringbuffer to console21:22
pwnguinbut basically, you can hook up to the serial console and see what sort of messages go across it21:25
abel408Do you think it's software or hardware?21:25
pwnguini guess i should ask21:25
pwnguinby kvm you mean kernel virtual machine?21:25
abel408yea21:26
pwnguinmy guess would be software21:26
pwnguinabel408: obviously you can check the stuff in /var/log, but the most interesting stuff is in dmesg21:29
pwnguinand that's stored in kernel RAM, and won't survive a reboot21:29
abel408yea... Nothings in the logs21:30
pwnguinit should also be printed out to serial console, which you can hook up to with minicom (or your favorite remote console logger)21:30
abel408Yea I might do that and leave it running over night. I'm wondering if this is what I'm looking for: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/CrashdumpRecipe21:33

sorenbsmith: The easiest fix is to reinstall from a real CD.23:37
bsmithDon't have a sata cdrom23:37
sorenbsmith: I've heard of people with similar problems when isntalling from USB.23:38
bsmithsoren:Did they fix it without a cdrom drive23:38
sorenbsmith: I believe it's because the installer gets confused by the USB drive (thinking it's the first hard drive, and the real hard drive is the second drive).23:38
sorenThis is definitely fixed in 9.04. Why did you downgrade?23:39
bsmithsoren: makes sense, is there a solution23:39
sorenbsmith: Yes. Install from a CD or a newer version of Ubuntu. Or fix grub afterwards.23:39
sorenThe first two options are simple. The latter less so if you're not too familiar with grub.23:40
bsmithI downgraded because I couldn't get any of the media serving software to work properly.  I tried jinzora, ampache, gnump3d, I found directions that seemed promising for 8.04 thought the downgrade would be easy23:40
bsmithCan you elaborate on the last one "fix grub afterwards"23:40
