[00:20] <uccadmin> I was asking this in #ubuntu but I feel this channel is more appropriate. Does anyone have any experience with installing and configuring DRBL?
[00:23] <tonyyarusso> Is there a way through mail agents or related things to strip all attachments off of e-mails so they aren't stored in the e-mail databases?  (ie, move them into a folder separately instead)
[00:26] <tonyyarusso> uccadmin: That's the remote boot thing, right?  I haven't worked with it on its own, but have run it through the Clonezilla suite of tools.
[00:26] <uccadmin> Yes it is
[00:26] <uccadmin> I'm actually trying to get to that point (A Clonezilla setup)
[00:26] <tonyyarusso> ah
[00:27] <tonyyarusso> Well, it's been a little while, but I might be able to help you - what's the holdup?
[00:27] <qman__> I've only ever used LTSP
[00:28] <uccadmin> I have 6 machine that need to be automatically reimaged, so I'm looking into DRBL and Clonezilla. My main problem is that we already have a DHCP server on the network and don't really want to mess with it. I don't know how important it is to have DRBL assign the IPs and I'm wondering if we'll be okay if we have the clients assigned static IPs via MAC address via our Windows DHCP server
[00:28] <uccadmin> I've found a bit in the way of DRBL support on the issue, but not enough to make me confident enough to deploy DRBL and Clonezilla
[00:28] <tonyyarusso> The best way is to unplug yourself from the rest of the network and just work with an isolated room of those six.
[00:29] <tonyyarusso> Even if you can deal with the DHCP thing, your DRBL server will be broadcasting a ton of traffic that will congest the rest of the network if it's not detached.
[00:31] <uccadmin> Well, the imaging will only be done around 4AM, and at that time there won't be much other network traffic. I figure the impact should be minimal as the server will only image 6 machines and the image is only 6GB or so.
[00:32] <tonyyarusso> Are the six machines physically/network proximate to each other?
[00:32] <poseidon> I put in a usb drive.  How can I mount the drive?  I think I need to use the mount command.  However, I don't know what I need to mount
[00:33] <uccadmin> Yes. They're all in a single room
[00:34] <tonyyarusso> uccadmin: Well, ultimately the answer is: yes, I believe it's possible to do what you're envisioning, but it will be WAY easier to just unplug them from their uplink and do that room alone.
[00:34] <uccadmin> That makes sense. I don't know why I never thought of that
[00:34] <tonyyarusso> poseidon: it will be in as /dev/sd<something> - you'll just have to figure out which one.
[00:34] <uccadmin> Though I will have to procure another machine to serve as the DRBL server. The one I was going to install it on is already being used for other things and can't be repurposed/moved at this time
[00:35] <tonyyarusso> Yeah, when I did it we just grabbed an old desktop and put it on a rolling cart so it could be moved around the building.
[00:39] <uccadmin> I think I have some hardware that will work well. Time to scavenge...
[00:39] <uccadmin> Thank you for all of your help
[00:40] <poseidon> tonyyarusso, when I plug in the usb drive an sdb and sdb1 show up in /dev/  When I try mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb /mnt/ it says that an NTFS signature is not found
[00:40] <poseidon> same with sdb1
[00:40] <kinnaz> fdisk /dev/sdb
[00:40] <tonyyarusso> poseidon: Are you sure it's ntfs?
[00:41] <tonyyarusso> poseidon: You will want to be mounting the sdb1 version - sdb is the whole drive, while sdb1 is the partition.
[00:41] <tonyyarusso> poseidon: Usually you won't need to specify the type at all - it can usually figure it out.
[00:44] <poseidon> It looks like it's fat32
[00:45] <poseidon> got it to work
[00:45] <poseidon> thanks
[01:22] <Alysum> hey guys - is mysql server 5.1 available on Jaunty?
[01:22] <Alysum> jaunty-updates/main mysql-server 5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2 [57.2kB]
[01:22] <Alysum> not sure is it's really 5.1 ?
[01:23] <Alysum> the name is confusing.....
[01:30] <Alysum> HELLO???
[01:30] <samd> hi, im trying to setup an ircd-hybric irc server,, but cant connect from the outside world, ive already routed port 6667 to my server
[03:41] <ball> hello Deevz
[03:52] <poseidon> I installed ubuntu-server 9.04.  I got the wireless driver installed, but now I want to set it up so I can use it as a home server and store stuff on it from my ubuntu desktop.
[03:52] <poseidon> What do I need to do?
[03:54] <qman__> there's plenty of options for file servers
[03:54] <qman__> if you want to share with windows, samba is your best choice
[03:54] <qman__> if not, openssh and sftp should do it
[03:55] <PhotoJim> NFS is best if you're networking Linux/BSD machines together, as far as file sharing goes
[03:55] <qman__> NFS is horribly insecure though, so make sure to only use it on a secured LAN
[03:55] <qman__> since you're using wireless I'd advise against it
[03:56] <PhotoJim> WPA-secured WiFi is fine.
[03:56] <PhotoJim> Slow.  but fine.
[03:57] <qman__> as long as you're using AES and not TKIP, and have a strong passphrase or use some other authentication
[03:58] <qman__> TKIP is broken and all WPA is vulnerable to dictionary attacks, so weak passphrases are not acceptable
[03:58] <poseidon> I have a laptop and a desktop both running ubuntu.  I want them to be able to store files and retrieve files from it.  Is NFS the best way to go about doing that?
[03:59] <qman__> not really, NFS is better when you want to use files from the server
[03:59] <qman__> if you just want to send and recieve, more like a backup, sftp/scp/ssh is better
[03:59] <PhotoJim> in which case you're not really using a server.  you're just moving files between machines.
[03:59] <PhotoJim> for a server, NFS.
[04:00] <PhotoJim> for a central server, that is.
[04:00] <PhotoJim> I have a machine in my basement.  all my important stuff is on it.  NFS and Samba, for Linux/BSD and Windows, respectively.
[04:00] <PhotoJim> WPA-secured WiFi, and wired access.
[04:00] <qman__> I disagree, and advise against using NFS
[04:01] <PhotoJim> Secure WiFi + NFS > insecure WiFi + any other method of transferring files.
[04:02] <PhotoJim> IMHO.
[04:02] <qman__> there's really no such thing as a truly secure wifi
[04:02] <PhotoJim> Securing file transfer without securing e.g. Internet access is still an issue.
[04:02] <PhotoJim> WPA is highly secure.
[04:02] <qman__> not really
[04:02] <qman__> it's very vulnerable to dictionary attacks
[04:02] <PhotoJim> Evidence?
[04:02] <PhotoJim> Oh, don't use dictionary words then.
[04:02] <qman__> it hasn't been broken yet, but the track record is not very good
[04:03] <PhotoJim> Then we need to worry about his login passwords, too, then.
[04:03] <qman__> NFS is a security nightmare, because the way it works is not nice to firewalls
[04:03] <PhotoJim> My NFS server doesn't listen to the WAN NIC.  it only listens to the LAN NIC.
[04:04] <qman__> it also doesn't support user authentication, only IP-based
[04:04] <PhotoJim> WAN NFS is insecure.
[04:04] <PhotoJim> Oh, I agree that it's imperfect.  but this guy isn't the FBI.  he's a home user with two machines.
[04:05] <PhotoJim> you can't spoof an IP from my LAN unless you break into my non-dictionary-word password-protected WPA-encrypted WLAN, or you break into my house and plug into my switch.
[04:05] <qman__> in any case, sshfs is a good alternative where NFS-like behavior is needed
[04:05] <PhotoJim> Slower.  Agree that it's a good alternative.
[04:06] <PhotoJim> I see it as being of primary value for WAN filesharing.
[04:06] <PhotoJim> when you need to mount filesystems, at least.
[04:06]  * ScottK generally uses sftp.
[04:06] <PhotoJim> I use OpenVPN tunneling and NFS.
[04:06] <PhotoJim> I use sftp to move stuff around when I'm not here and particularly when I'm not using one of my own machines.
[04:06] <PhotoJim> but there is convenience to having a filesystem mounted.
[04:07] <qman__> I have a mixed network, so I use samba and scp
[04:08] <twb> sshfs is built on top of sftp, fwiw
[04:08] <PhotoJim> Samba isn't really that much more secure than NFS though.
[04:08] <twb> CIFS is *less* secure than NFSv4 with kerberos
[04:08] <qman__> it has user-based authentication
[04:08] <PhotoJim> Still vulnerable to dictionary attacks.
[04:09] <qman__> of course, the only reason I use samba is to support windows clients
[04:09] <qman__> otherwise it'd all be scp/sshfs/etc...
[04:09] <PhotoJim> slower, that's all.
[04:09] <PhotoJim> if you have good security in other ways, you can get the speed of NFS working for you.
[04:10] <PhotoJim> no need to encrypt/decrypt data on a GigE LAN connection.
[04:10] <PhotoJim> or 100BaseTX for that matter.
[04:10] <twb> PhotoJim: if all you care about is speed, use socat
[04:10] <twb> Or even firehose
[04:10] <PhotoJim> twb: not familiar with either of those.
[04:10] <twb> They turn data streams into network streams, and vice-versa.
[04:11] <twb> ssh receiver nc -l 1234 \>foo & ssh sender nc receiver 1234 \<foo
[04:11] <twb> Or something like that.
[04:11] <PhotoJim> NFS saturates my links.  what would be the advantage?
[04:11] <PhotoJim> oh.  but ssh adds encryption/decryption.  great for WAN, not great for LAN.
[04:11] <twb> PhotoJim: NFS has NFS overhead, obviously
[04:12] <PhotoJim> twb: some overhead.  but not ridiculous.
[04:12] <twb> PhotoJim: ssh is only being used to run a command, not for the data channel.
[04:12] <PhotoJim> ahh.
[04:12] <PhotoJim> ahh, I see.
[04:12] <PhotoJim> I didn't read it carefully.
[04:12] <qman__> scp and samba saturate my links too
[04:12] <qman__> that's not a good measure
[04:12] <PhotoJim> oh well.  do what you like. :)
[04:12] <PhotoJim> I'll stick to NFS.
[04:13] <qman__> samba has a lot of network overhead
[04:13] <twb> I'm not telling you otherwise.
[04:13] <qman__> where ssh has a lot of CPU overhead
[04:13] <qman__> the real question is how much data gets through while your link is saturated
[04:13] <twb> I'm just saying that your arguments for NFS especially valid.
[04:14] <twb> For me NFSv3 wins because it's very easy to deploy in a homogeneous Unix environment
[04:14] <twb> NFSv3 and NIS, I'm afraid
[04:14] <PhotoJim> and it works well with OS X, also.
[04:14] <twb> It certainly isn't secure, and it is only moderately efficient in terms of raw throughput
[04:15] <PhotoJim> although that's a Unix of sorts.
[04:15] <twb> OS X is BSD with heavy makeup standing under a streetlight at 2am
[04:15] <qman__> yep
[04:16] <twb> I like to think my tastes are more refined ;-)
[04:16] <nick125> Mmh. Anyone here know how to get rid of these "Bad source address from client, dropping packet" errors in OpenVPN?
[04:16] <PhotoJim> I have a VAX in the basement running OpenBSD (sorry, Ubuntu, you don't work on VAX :) ).  That gets me some taste points.
[04:16] <PhotoJim> nick125: I've not seen that problem.
[04:17] <nick125> I'm trying to route all of my internet traffic on my laptop through my VPN...it connects and I can connect to the VPN host, I just can't connect to any machines beyond that.
[04:17] <qman__> is ip forwarding enabled in the kernel?
[04:17] <nick125> I believe so.
[04:17]  * nick125 checks
[04:18] <qman__> check the routes on the system too
[04:18] <qman__> make sure it knows where all the relevant networks rae
[04:18] <qman__> are*
[04:18] <twb> "bad source address" doesn't sound like "you aren't a router" to me
[04:18] <ball> PhotoJim: Which VAX?
[04:18] <PhotoJim> if you can ping the other side of the VPN, it should be easy to set the default route to a router on the other side.
[04:18] <PhotoJim> ball: VAXstation 4000/60.
[04:18] <ball> PhotoJim: Nod bad.
[04:18] <karex> HI, why does my homepage in localhost couldn't be updated if I don't connect internet?
[04:18] <PhotoJim> ball: it's slow.  but it's interesting.
[04:19] <karex> help, newbie
[04:20] <ball> PhotoJim: I tell myself I'll never buy a VAX, but if a VAXstation 2000 or a 4000/VLC came along, I'd be sorely tempted (for different reasons)
[04:20] <ball> I miss the 6000 series though
[04:20] <qman__> karex, this is #ubuntu-server, if your problem is on ubuntu desktop, join #ubuntu
[04:21] <PhotoJim> ball: I got this one for free, essentially.  it was hard to say no.
[04:21] <karex> qman__: my problem is about apache+php+mysql. help me please
[04:22] <twb> I'm sufficiently weary of hardware to view doing ANYTHING outside of a VM as a waste of my time
[04:22] <twb> Real PDPs and VAXen are obviously in that list
[04:22] <PhotoJim> twb: duly noted.
[04:22] <qman__> karex, try to explain your problem more specifically
[04:23] <twb> Especially since I could emulate them with $100 of gear.
[04:23] <PhotoJim> Flying a flight simulator is not the same as operating a jet.
[04:23] <twb> I mean, OK, if I didn't spend ALL DAY dealing with bloody computers, it might be a refreshing challenge
[04:23] <PhotoJim> Vms are useful, but they're not particularly interesting.
[04:23] <PhotoJim> yes.  good point.
[04:23] <PhotoJim> Computers aren't my day job.  They're my hobby.
[04:24] <twb> Lemme guess... you're a chemist
[04:24] <karex> qman__: when it's not connected to internet, my http://localhost/ homepage couldn't be updated (I'd updated /var/www/index.php)
[04:24] <PhotoJim> if you mean chemist as in a person who is in the business of the science of chemistry, no.
[04:25] <PhotoJim> if you mean chemist as in a person who is in the business of pharmacy, also no.
[04:25] <twb> PhotoJim: what is your day job, then?
[04:26] <PhotoJim> I'm an insurance broker, and a part-time lecturer at a university business school.
[04:26] <twb> Ha!
[04:26] <qman__> karex, what do you mean by "couldn't be updated"?
[04:29] <qman__> karex, your index.php, is it a web page you've written, or a piece of software you've installed?
[04:29] <karex> qman__: it was not changed after I re-write /var/www/index.php (but it does when I connect to the internet or ad-hoc)
[04:29] <karex> index.php is the default page
[04:30] <nick125> Hmm. I have eth0 and eth0:0 and I want to setup a bridge with eth0 in it for OpenVPN. How would I do those IP aliases?
[04:33] <qman__> karex, if the fact that you are connected to a network is the determining factor, it is most likely either a problem with your web browser's offline mode, or a problem with the web application you are trying to use
[04:33] <qman__> karex, other places to check are the website configuration in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ and your general apache configuration (if non-default)
[04:42] <PhotoJim> nick125: if you bridge tun0 (or whatever your VPN device is) and etho, then there is no need to include eth0:0.  it is on eth0 in hardware, so it will be bridged.  but better to route than bridge.
[04:43] <karex_> qman__: Thanx...
[05:54] <luckyone> hello all

[10:15] <force1_> hi all, i am searching for something cool to do with my server
[10:16] <force1_> something that isnt easy, and probaly wont work out of the box
[10:16] <force1_> something i have to do some research for....
[10:16] <force1_> my own idea is to sync an iphone withe server' LDAP database
[10:18] <force1_> * with the
[10:26] <kaushal> hi
[10:26] <kaushal> i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/260795/ in dmesg. is it a hardware issue ?
[10:31] <gnuyoga> force1_: installating windows in linux perhaps
[10:31] <force1_> what do you mean? installating?
[10:32] <force1_> you mean run a XP image in a virtual machine, with linux as the host?
[10:33] <gnuyoga> kaushal: looks like hardware issue (hdd perhaps)
[10:33] <gnuyoga> force1_: no no , i was kidding ...
[10:35] <kaushal> gnuyoga: ok
[10:35] <kaushal> so is it due to busted hdd or busted controller ?
[10:35] <gnuyoga> kaushal: do u have a failed hdd or something ?
[10:36] <kaushal> it doesnot responds
[10:36] <gnuyoga> i have seen this error in multiple cases
[10:36] <gnuyoga> hard disk failure, cable fault, bus failure
[10:36] <gnuyoga> 50% its cable and 50% is hdd
[10:36] <kaushal> I am able to login and when i do ls or pwd it doesnot responds
[10:37] <gnuyoga> so some sectors have problem, replace hdd :)
[10:37] <kaushal> ok
[10:37] <kaushal> gnuyoga: can we say it 100% as hdd issue ?
[10:37] <kaushal> :)
[10:37] <gnuyoga> force1_: do u plan to code as well ?
[10:38] <gnuyoga> kaushal: perhaps 99% ... 1% we shuoud leave it for doubt ;)
[10:38] <kaushal> ok
[10:38] <kaushal> ... means ?
[10:38] <kaushal> yes or no :)
[10:38] <kaushal> I need to generate a report :)
[10:39] <kaushal> about the issue
[10:39] <force1_> gnuyoga: i can write c, and php, so it certanly an option :D
[10:42] <colclough> Hi, is there a way for me to copy output from a server console to a text file on my desktop? The server is being run in virtualbox.
[10:42]  * gnuyoga suggest force1_ to look at Gnu Hurd Project ... its really coool
[10:43] <gnuyoga> colclough: u can perhaps do a folder sharing ;)
[10:43] <gnuyoga> colclough: is ur server linux or windows ?
[10:43] <colclough> linux, ubuntu 8.04
[10:43] <gnuyoga> and host OS == ?
[10:44] <colclough> lastest ubuntu
[10:44] <colclough> I can't remember the version
[10:44] <gnuyoga> no problem, so both are linux ...
[10:45] <kaushal> gnuyoga: Thanks
[10:45] <gnuyoga> kaushal: np
[10:46] <gnuyoga> colclough: VirtualBox gives an option of shared folder
[10:46] <gnuyoga> colclough: the idea is u can attach a host OS folder to guest OS
[10:47] <gnuyoga> for this we need to installed guest addition i suppose (we need a new command mount.vboxsf)
[10:47] <Maleko> how do we kill particular established connections, without terminating daemon?
[10:49] <gnuyoga> colclough: search for VBoxGuestAdditions.iso it will be in /usr/share if i remember it correect
[10:52] <colclough> There is an option in my vbox devices->sharded folders - is that what you are talking about?
[10:53] <gnuyoga> Maleko: did u try tcpkill
[10:53] <gnuyoga> ??
[10:55] <gnuyoga> Maleko: http://www.cyberciti.biz/howto/question/linux/kill-tcp-connection-using-linux-netstat.php
[10:56] <gnuyoga> calYes
[10:56] <gnuyoga> colclough: yes
[10:58] <colclough> cool, I've made a new folder but under access it says its full
[10:59] <gnuyoga> Maleko: to get tcpkill, apt-get install dsniff
[11:00] <gnuyoga> colclough: k
[11:00] <gnuyoga> colclough: now u need to enable guest addition
[11:00] <Maleko> gnuyoga: thanks. no wonder i couldnt find tcpkill package
[11:01] <gnuyoga> Maleko: ;)
[11:02] <gnuyoga> colclough: now install guest addition,

[11:09] <Aison> hello
[11:09] <Aison> I installed ebox on my ubuntu server (Jaunty)
[11:09] <Aison> I can login to the web appllication
[11:09] <Aison> but I cant enable the modules
[11:10] <Aison> eg when I try to enable network module, the webapplication somehow hangs
[11:11] <Aison> eg. ntp, network, etc...
[11:11] <Aison> events was possible to enable
[11:13] <colclough> gnuyoga: I'm clicking on the install guest addition but nothing happens, I know it says that it takes a minute or two but its been a while now. Is there another way to install guest?
[11:14] <gnuyoga> colclough: didd u find the iso image ?
[11:14] <colclough> Aison: do you have an ad blocker installed in your browser? I'm using ebox too and I've noticed that my ad blocker effects changes too. Also you could join #ebox you'll get alot of support from the guys there.
[11:15] <Aison> colclough, no, no add blocker. I also tried kopete instead of firefox
[11:15] <gnuyoga> Aison: why dont u ask this in #ebox channel, u might get a better response
[11:15] <Aison> gnuyoga, I will now ;)
[11:15] <colclough> it hasn't mentioned anything to me about an iso,
[11:15] <gnuyoga> Aison: not sure if its thus bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ebox/+bug/376054
[11:17] <gnuyoga> colclough: another way, search for VBoxGuestAdditions.iso in ur host machine
[11:18] <colclough> ok
[11:18] <gnuyoga> colclough: normally it will be in /usr/share/virtualbox
[11:18] <gnuyoga> Aison: what version of ebox ? 1.2 or 1.3
[11:19] <gnuyoga> Maleko: tcpkill did the job for you ?
[11:19] <Maleko> yes
[11:20] <gnuyoga> Maleko: great !
[11:22] <gnuyoga> colclough: did u see that ISO ?
[11:23] <colclough> yeah I've found it, I'm just trying to get vbox to use it.
[11:24] <gnuyoga> colclough: if the machine is started u can go to "Device -> mount CD/DVD Rom image"
[11:26] <colclough> yeah thats what i've done
[11:27] <Aison> gnuyoga, i'm using the one from apt
[11:28] <Aison> gnuyoga, in ebox summary it says eBox version    0.12.2
[11:29] <gnuyoga> colclough: in guest /dev/cdrom /mnt
[11:32] <gnuyoga> Aison: k
[11:35] <gnuyoga> Aison: i suggest u check here as well http://forum.ebox-platform.com/
[11:57] <force1_> yup

[13:56] <ricdanger> hi
[13:56] <ricdanger> does anyone know how to setup nss-ldap to support round-robin connections, and fallback?
[14:04] <doc777> Has anyone successfully gotten the broadcom Netextreme II going under 8.04 LTS?  lshw shows the 2 ports there as "unclaimed" and bnx2 is loaded. Also I have installed the firmware-nonfree-bnx2 package
[14:15] <doc777> I formatted the machine and installed 9.04 server and it worked perfectly... But zimbra, which is the purpose of this machine, will not run on that and requires 8.04
[14:26] <Sam-I-Am> doc777: it probably needs the bnx2x driver
[14:26] <Sam-I-Am> doc777: which is newer than 8.04
[14:27] <Sam-I-Am> nothing says you can't install a newer kernel on 8.04
[14:32] <doc777> Sam, I have attempted that and on boot I get the "cannot load bnx2 firmware" and it still does not load. Also, this box has no network connection so every task is great fun ;)
[14:39] <doc777> I actually have about 3 days sank into this thing now as I have formatted it 3 times, tried a couple of kernels, working with 2.6.30 which gives "Can't load firmware file bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-4.6.17.fw"
[14:44] <Sam-I-Am> do you have the bnx2x firmware?
[14:45] <Sam-I-Am> (broadcom stuff sux btw heh)
[14:46] <doc777> yea I downloaded and installed the firmware-nonfree-bnx2 package
[14:47] <roxy09> hi there i have a question, i am purchasin a HP DL G6 server, is compatible with ubuntu, for example hot swap har drive?
[15:12] <doc777> Is there  a way to download a DVD with all the packages for 8.04.3 LTS server for an offline install? Trying to build a new kernel without a network connection is just great fun  ;)
[15:35] <giovani> doc777: all of the packages? doubtful -- universe and multiverse are huge
[15:35] <giovani> you can do a mirror copy though
[15:35] <giovani> and keep a repo locally
[15:37]  * genii thinks about the ~35Gb of repo data
[15:37] <giovani> heh, yeah
[15:38] <giovani> putting all possible packages on a DVD isn't possible
[15:38] <genii> You could span 7 dvd and use apt-cdrom to add the set, conceivably. I haven't actually done this however
[15:48] <maswan> easier to use a usb drive and put it all in there
[15:48] <maswan> or figure out what you actually need
[15:51] <giovani> it would be easier to just have a local network repo
[15:52] <maswan> it's even easier to just put the machine on the net. :)
[15:52] <doc777> I need to install 8.04.3 but it will not recognize the Dell T410 NICS = BCM5716.  So I have no net access.  When I try and compile a new kernel it fails with various reasons, which is probably some package missing.  Working with internet is rough ;)
[15:53] <doc777> The new T410 has no PCI slots, all PCI-X, and I do not happen to have a PCI-X nic laying about.
[15:54] <doc777> After 3 days I am about ready to start drinking ;)
[15:54] <Boohbah> does dell provide a driver for it?
[15:56] <doc777> yes, but it will not seem to build on this system at the moment. It is a "loop".  It seems ubuntu has all sorts of bugs with the bnx2 driver at the moment.
[15:56] <Sam-I-Am> more like the bnx2* driver has all sorts of bugs :/
[15:56] <Sam-I-Am> broadcom is known for code blobs
[15:57] <Boohbah> darn binary blobs :(
[15:57] <doc777> Yes, I agree. I am debating on centos or overnight an INTEL PCI-X nic
[15:58] <Sam-I-Am> those are nice
[15:58] <Sam-I-Am> anything but broadcom and a few other ho-hum companies
[16:00] <doc777> I have 8.04 LTS on 3 other Dell power edges but this new T410 seems to use something else. They are all broadcom netextreme II, it says, just the new will not work ;)
[16:17] <doc777> Thanks for the help all. I just ordered an Intel NIC and will disable the broadcom trash for now ;)  Take care.
[16:24] <aubre> when I do a sudo euca_conf -addnode nodename   , it wants a password, and asks for the eucalyptus user's password, but the eucalyptus user doesn't have a password - what do I do?
[16:25] <aubre> those broadcom netextreme II work fine with jaunty
[16:26] <KillMeNow> i'm running broadcom on my Dell 1u boxes
[16:26] <KillMeNow> with Jaunty
[16:26] <aubre> I have a R610 and 2 R410s no problem
[17:11] <SirDerigo> hi people, i need to know what hosting control panel you actually use?
[17:13] <giovani> SirDerigo: be more specific -- do you mean like a commercial hosting platform? or something along the lines of webmin/ebox
[17:13] <SirDerigo> giovani: something like cpanel but free
[17:13] <SirDerigo> a thing that can deal whit subdomains, a script autoinstaller, things like that
[17:14] <giovani> I don't know if one exists
[17:14] <giovani> google free hosting control panel
[17:29] <genii> ISPConfig isn't too horrible.
[17:29] <SirDerigo> genii: not, it doesnt is, but i want to know if another exist
[18:35] <genii> I wonder if that bug affects Horde
[18:58] <baccenfutter> I just realized, that `ssh -D 8080 -Nf domain.tld` sems to break down after too long idle time... regular ssh connections don't, though. Does the socks env need a certain config in sshd_config to stay up while idling?
[18:58] <baccenfutter>  Read from remote host shell.c-base.org: Connection reset by peer
[19:35] <MTeck> How can I make a pointer so when somebody goes to one page, they're actually looking at a different one? So wget site1.com/file.tgz is actually downloading site2.com/long/path/name/file.tgz
[19:45] <armando_> Que tal
[19:45] <armando_> acabo de montar un Ubuntu Server , con samba pero este cada 5 minutos mas o menos me arroja mensajes de que reinicia
[19:49] <armando_> I have a problem with my samba server , i mount Ubuntu Server 9.04 , but when i start the server , the shell show samba is restarting , anybody knows how to fix this problem.?
[20:25] <soren> armando_: It's not a problem. It's perfectly normal.
[20:26] <soren> armando_: It's usually becuase your network interface takes a little bit before it gets configured and at that point, samba gets restarted.
[21:30] <armando_> ok , but i can remove this mesage from the screen , arent know hide the message.
[22:14] <omnydevi> greetings, trying to install jaunty server on a microdot mobo. seems it cannot detect my hdd's. i googled a bit and found a pci=nomsi option, and tried it at install, but still no luck. any ideas?
[22:15] <omnydevi> they are sata drives
[22:19] <omnydevi> meh, i'll just try 8.04
[22:23] <BrixSat_> hello
[22:24] <BrixSat_> im inside a machine using shh and the machine cant ping or acess ubuntu updates like it would not have nety
[22:24] <BrixSat_> im over net on the machine
[22:34] <BrixSat_> :s i can enter via ssh on the machine using it's domain
[22:34] <BrixSat_> and once inside i cant ping nothing
[22:42] <BrixSat_> any ideia?
[23:11] <ruben23> hi how do i make an application startup automatically upon reboot on ubuntu-server
[23:12] <ruben23> hi
[23:12] <ruben23> anyone have idea
[23:13] <jmarsden|work> ruben23: If it is a daemon, make sure it has an initscript and use that to start it.
[23:14] <jmarsden|work> If not, look at editing /etc/rc.local or maybe a crontab entry with a @reboot time value
[23:14] <ruben23> ok thanks
[23:14] <jmarsden|work> No problem.
