[00:03] Im installing ubuntu server on one of my old comps and it show all these ata1.01 status {DRDY} Frozen timeout stuff.. [00:04] its showing* [00:04] should i just keep letting it do its thing or do i need to fix something first? [00:23] Anyone want to take a guess at where the console login screen gets the OS string and version from? [00:23] I was hoping to append something to it [00:24] /etc/issue, /etc/issue.net or /etc/motd, it depends how you log in [00:28] thanks [00:50] uname -a [00:50] ? [01:00] hey [01:01] i am trying to install a server on a headless machine using pxe [01:01] unfortunately the windows tftp is complaing: http://pastebin.com/m7e5a75b [01:01] any clue how to fix this? [01:01] the dhcp is proivided by the router [01:02] and tftp is running on a nother machine (windows) [01:43] Is there an opem-vm-tools binary package for Ubuntu JeOS 8.04.3 LTS? [01:43] Or maybe I should ask, which repository has it? === photon is now known as Guest82724 [02:03] oh_noes: I don't think it is in the repositories. [02:04] oh_noes: Looks like it made it into intrepid and jaunty [02:05] But not hardy [02:05] I think thats cos it was never 'originally' super stable for LTS release [02:05] but I was hoping now, the code would be acceptable [02:05] unless theres another reason [02:06] hi...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 ? [02:07] teh documentation said do somehitng in the serve but im not sure if they mean the main server or the secondary server [02:07] oh_noes: Lanchpad has them for hardy. [02:07] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/open-vm-tools/+builds [02:09] oh_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] jgedeon: they are over 16 months old [02:10] http://sourceforge.net/projects/open-vm-tools/files/open-vm-tools/open-vm-tools-2009.06.18-172495.tar.gz/download [02:10] jgedeon: I need to automatically deploy JeOS VM's with it on there though .. is there a deb-src of them anywhere? [02:10] the sourceforge page onyl has the source ... [02:10] (tar.gz src) [02:10] Oh ok [02:11] Debian source packages are available within the normal package archive. [02:11] Add deb-src entries to your sources.list, then use "apt-get source open-vm-tools" [02:12] If 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] !updates [02:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about updates [02:12] !hardy-updates [02:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about hardy-updates [02:12] Bah. [02:12] twb: how would you then recommend for me to quickly deploy/install it on i386 hardy boxes here as part of an internal distribution? [02:13] oh_noes: you maintain an SOE? [02:13] Compile and create my own i386 deb from deb-src? [02:13] Yes [02:13] You should first try to use the .deb unchanged from, say, intrepid. [02:14] twb: ok i'll; give that a go [02:14] That, or the version in hardy-backports or hardy-updates [02:15] According to http://packages.ubuntu.com/open-vm-tools, that specific package is not available in any hardy native repo. [02:16] So 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] If *that* doesn't work, you'll need to do more investigation -- possibly changing versions in debian/control or similar [02:18] Hi...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] What is an ldap backup server? [02:19] Do 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] yes [02:19] Dunno about that, sorry. [02:19] You can also try #openldap or similar. [02:20] am I drunk, or is there no way to download the deb from http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/open-vm-tools ? [02:21] sorry im new in the ofrum...how i can go there [02:21] forum [02:22] i got [02:39] oh_noes, click either "amd64" or "i386", with respect to your architecture [02:39] it's a little unintuitive, I'll agree, but you click those, not the package name [03:51] hi, 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? [04:05] 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) [04:14] the problmes i bittorrent use any port [04:15] To block bittorrent you want to use the L7 iptables module. [04:15] http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/ [04:16] !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. [04:30] sonf 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 that === FFForever-Away is now known as FFForever [05:34] other question...i am installindg a wireless somebody know how do that to autentificate with my ldap server? [05:58] how can i tell if mysql is working ? [06:10] hi ...i need to configure a print server with samba and use a ldap server ..somebody know how configura it? === FFForever is now known as FFForever-Away [06:20] alo [06:21] hola? [06:22] !es [06:22] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. === dpreacher2 is now known as dpreacher [06:39] hello 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 weeks [06:39] any and every help is very much appreciated [06:39] so far things i tried [06:39] 1. tried to strace ssh since i primarily login via ssh. [06:40] 2. however found that local logins took that delay as well. [06:41] 3. 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 login [06:42] dpreacher: Did you try creating a new account and logging into that, so you have a brand new unmodified ~/.bashrc ? Still slow? [06:42] checkin in a moment jmarsden, [06:45] dpreacher: OK. If it is still slow, in that new account try bash --login --noprofile and see if that is slow. [06:46] jmarsden, can i try the 2nd suggestion before creating a new user [06:46] Sure, if you want :) [06:48] dpreacher: i had that problem too.. fixed it removing Private directory mounting from pam.d [06:48] hmm...private directory was local path? [06:48] simplexio? [06:50] where do i check for nfs/cifs mounts? esp. the latter one? [06:50] dpreacher: yes. [06:51] i just removed it from pam.d and added line to motd to hint people use ecrypfs-private-mount [06:52] jmarsden, bash --login --noprofile logged in absolutely instantly [06:52] im thinking /etc/bash.bashrc may be a possible suspect [06:52] dpreacher: OK. Does bas --login do the same? [06:52] have to check that, [06:53] dpreacher: Make that bash --login [06:53] bash --login ? without --noprofile? jmarsden [06:53] Right... if --noprofile makes the difference then the issue is something being done in the profile stuff... [06:54] Let's confirm that before looking at specific files :) [06:54] nope jmarsden, it went in quickly. i also put time command before bash and the times recorded were very very minutesimal [06:55] OK. 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. [06:57] well 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 instantly [06:57] jmarsden [06:58] if i wanted to check if there are some unused nfs or cifs mounts, where'd i look, fstab itself? jmarsden [06:58] mount tells allready mounted [06:59] Sounds 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? [07:01] And yes, you can read /etc/fstab to see what network file systems are configured there. [07:01] jmarsden, my net dropped did u get all 3 points? [07:01] No, I saw nothing at all... [07:01] stuff that are unusual on this machine: [07:01] 1. RAID setup [07:01] 2. 3 NICs. 2 ISP lines and 1 LAN [07:01] 3. its the gateway and DNS for the intranet [07:02] Hey 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] i dunno what else to include. nothing related to bash or logins was configured or installed jmarsden [07:02] Or will apt get install mysql-server just automatically pull down the 64 bit package? [07:03] dpreacher2: Have you checked that DNS is working well, and that the machine can look up its own name quickly? [07:03] psyferre: Do nothing special, apt-get is smart enough to know what architecture your machine is. [07:03] jmarsden: awesome... thanks [07:03] No problem. [07:03] i can access the website on the server using the fqdn of the ubuntu server machine [07:05] I'm guessing... long delays can be DNS related and you have a more complex than usual network setup... [07:06] hello again [07:07] whoa /me [07:07] jmarsden i need to step out for a while...will come back soon and resume this. [07:07] thanks for your help and time [07:07] thanks simplexio as well [07:07] OK... 11pm here... I may not may not be here much longer... need to sleep sometime :) [07:34] just out of curiosity, has anyone actually gotten Samba + LDAP working w/ the guides? Or damn near anything available on google? [08:05] Hello again, somebody know how i can detect quantity of downloading by IP? [08:08] $ /sbin/ipconfig eth0 ==> [...] RX bytes:84614245 (80.6 MiB) TX bytes:5748325 (5.4 MiB) [08:08] Of course, that wraps around (rests to zero) at some point [08:21] <_ruben> twb: ipconfig is a windows command ;) [08:21] Sorry, I always get p and f backwards. [08:28] <_ruben> ;) [08:41] New bug: #402085 in lsb (main) "lsb_release crashed with ImportError in () (dup-of: 383697)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/402085 === w3wsrmn_ is now known as w3wsrmn [08:46] Hi sorry i mean get some log that shows me about traffic or quantity donwloaded by Ip or user? [08:53] <_ruben> roxy09: one solution would be to use pmacctd .. tho there's several alternatives as well [09:04] roxy09: ntop might be worth a look (web interface rather than a log file) [09:35] when configuring a server with 8GB of RAM, how much can be allocated for virtualization ? [09:38] All of it [09:39] i need to set up an ssh server, so that a user can remotely access his home dir. this is my network setup: http://paste.ubuntu.com/223359/ i'm thinking i need to connect the external interface of my ssh server to the router, and the internal to the switch? i've never setup an ssh server before, so i need some advice, please. [09:44] dayo: you have a application router, and a separate Ubuntu server? [09:44] dayo: that is, you are not running Ubuntu on your router? [09:45] twb: correct. cisco 1800 router, and my ubuntu server hooked up to it, via router's switch [09:45] Does your router do NAT? [09:46] i.e. does your Ubuntu server already have a public IP address on the internet? [09:49] twb: yes, it has a public and a private IP [09:52] Then all you need do is install openssh-server [11:03] anyone know of any small (1u) hardware with about 4 nics to run JEOS/iptables/openvpn on? [11:05] thefish: Regarding small hardware with 4 nics perhap a soekris might be a solution? Besides that, not really sure how well JEOS applies to a non-virtual machine. [11:06] i really like that it doesnt install any other kaka on the box, ive been running quite a few on steel with no issues [11:06] will check out soekris, thanks [11:15] I had Intrepid and i upgraded to jaunty. Now i get "You are running a kernel from Ubuntu Intrepid. Ksplice Uptrack for. Ubuntu only supports kernels from Ubuntu Jaunty." Any idea how to fix it? [11:17] how can i upgrade to latest kernel? [11:27] error404notfound, seems you didnt properly upgrade, did you use the documented upgrade procedure ? [11:27] ogra, i just did a dist-upgrade to keep intrepid to latest and then i change repo to that of jaunty and did a dist-upgrade again.

[11:47] error404notfound: i'd take a look at what do-release-upgrade does and see if there's some package missing in your system [11:49] its python and i dont know much python [11:56] since 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-image [11:57] do you have a server install? [11:58] if so, make sure you have package linux-image-server installed, it should bring all the other dependencies [12:07] alexm, i am using a vps on xen [12:08] so you upgraded the domU from intrepid to jaunty, is that right? [12:10] 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 configuration [12:14] ==# [12:15] error404notfound: are both them dom0 and the domU running jaunty? [12:15] s/both them/both the/ [12:15] nope, dom0 is not even ubuntu , i doubt [12:19] but do you know which kernel is running dom0? both dom0 and domU use the same kernel version usually [12:21] rose_: take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/samba-ldap.html [12:22] but note that it's the server guide for jaunty [12:27] alexm, any idea about: http://pastebin.com/m771347f5 ? [12:31] since uptrack is broken if fails too when removing it [12:31] any workarounds? [12:32] trying fixing broken packages first, apt-get install -f [12:32] without any other option [12:33] did... [12:33] again tried to uninstall and got same thing [12:36] alexm, btw dom0 uses the xen.org kernel. it's a heavily modified 2.6.18-8 [12:37] that's the problem then, jaunty provides 2.6.28 [12:39] 2 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 now [12:39] anyway, are you sure you can run ksplice on a domU? [12:40] i want to uninstall it, dont need it... [12:40] ok then [12:41] so the problem is the broken uptrack, right? [12:41] dif the apt-get install -f do or say something? [12:42] it installed ksplice back and some other stuff...

[13:22] http://pastebin.com/m56b32bce [13:23] moreover like the cron: http://pastebin.com/m4bee95cb [13:24] try running "uptrack-remove --all -y --no-network" and see if the message about intrepid kernel appears? [13:25] damn, yes.. [13:25] commenting it [13:26] but if you comment it out, maybe there will be some files left in the system [13:26] it's up to you [13:26] either you try to find out what uptrack-remove is doing or comment it on the .prerm [13:26] but there is no work around, is there? [13:27] btw diid you refer t http://pastebin.com/m368fe1a8 ?

[21:15] The server actually still has power and fans are spinning, but it appears to be dead. Monitor doesn't show anything either [21:19] automatic suspend?

[21:22] i wonder if theres a way to get the kernel to dump the ringbuffer to console [21:25] but basically, you can hook up to the serial console and see what sort of messages go across it [21:25] Do you think it's software or hardware? [21:25] i guess i should ask [21:25] by kvm you mean kernel virtual machine? [21:26] yea [21:26] my guess would be software [21:29] abel408: obviously you can check the stuff in /var/log, but the most interesting stuff is in dmesg [21:29] and that's stored in kernel RAM, and won't survive a reboot [21:30] yea... Nothings in the logs [21:30] it should also be printed out to serial console, which you can hook up to with minicom (or your favorite remote console logger) [21:33] Yea 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/CrashdumpRecipe [22:23] New bug: #402734 in openssh (main) "sftp subsystem dies when requested" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/402734 [22:54] does anyone have any idea if it's possible to migrate a kvm machine into a qemu one? preferrably live migration. [22:55] i have a pre-svm opteron driving me nuts === pwnguin is now known as jldugger === jldugger is now known as pwnguin [23:10] I recently installed ubuntu server 8.04 LTS on a system that previously had 9.04 server on it. I installed the OS from unetbootin for an .iso to a usb. I received an error 21: [23:14] Can anyone help me [23:24] Can anyone help me [23:35] Can anyone help me [23:37] bsmith: The easiest fix is to reinstall from a real CD. [23:37] Don't have a sata cdrom [23:38] bsmith: I've heard of people with similar problems when isntalling from USB. [23:38] soren:Did they fix it without a cdrom drive [23:38] bsmith: 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). [23:39] This is definitely fixed in 9.04. Why did you downgrade? [23:39] soren: makes sense, is there a solution [23:39] bsmith: Yes. Install from a CD or a newer version of Ubuntu. Or fix grub afterwards. [23:40] The first two options are simple. The latter less so if you're not too familiar with grub. [23:40] I 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 easy [23:40] Can you elaborate on the last one "fix grub afterwards" [23:44] soren: Can you elaborate on the last one "fix grub afterwards" === FFForever-Away is now known as FFForever
