[00:27] <Sam-I-Am> ScottK: good to hear :)
[03:58] <DGMurdockIII> can anyone help me get sound working
[03:58] <DGMurdockIII> or point me to some info how i can get it working on ubuntu server
[03:59] <PhotoJim> this isn't helpful, but why do you need audio on a server?
[04:02] <DGMurdockIII> need audio on my htpc
[04:02] <PhotoJim> you'll probably get a lot more help setting up audio on the standard #ubuntu channel...
[04:03] <PhotoJim> it's set up the same way on both standard and server editions... not sure if there is anything missing from the server kernel that is needed for audio though
[04:06] <DGMurdockIII> i don't need GNOME or anything else running
[04:22] <giovani> DGMurdockIII: we understand
[04:22] <giovani> but the audio service is the same between desktop and server
[04:23] <DGMurdockIII> ok
[04:23] <giovani> have you used alsamixer to unmute the master channel?
[04:23] <DGMurdockIII> no
[04:23] <giovani> ... well that's essentially linux audio 101 :)
[04:23] <giovani> start alsamixer
[04:23] <giovani> and unmute all of the important-looking channels
[04:24] <DGMurdockIII> if that dose not work
[04:25] <giovani> well clearly there are many things that can go wrong
[04:25] <giovani> but the troubleshooting for audio is generally the same across linux distributions
[04:25] <giovani> make sure the card is supported, and that the driver was loaded for it
[04:28] <ruben23> hi anyone have setup
[04:28] <ruben23> vsftpd..?
[04:29] <ruben23> and wroking smoothly
[04:42] <giovani> sure, in the past
[04:58] <clusty> hey
[04:59] <clusty> got the weirdest problem ever: my machine has internet and somehow apt-get fails to get any packages
[04:59] <clusty> saying mirrors are unreachable, when they are online
[05:00] <clusty> any ideas what might this be?
[05:02] <jmarsden> Does your machine have working DNS?  Have  you tried using different mirrors?
[05:02] <qman__> first, check DNS
[05:02] <jmarsden> :)
[05:02] <qman__> then, check your apt sources.list
[05:03] <clusty> jmarsden, http://pastebin.com/m28c30def
[05:03] <clusty> i owuld say yes
[05:04] <clusty> ping works. from another machine that has identical list i can do everything just fine
[05:04] <qman__> next logical step, are you being blocked by a firewall along the way?
[05:05] <clusty> qman__, cannot see how.
[05:06] <jmarsden> clusty: You can use wget to see if you can grab a file or two from the same archive site as a fairly simple test of that.
[05:07] <jmarsden> Or curl, or lftp, or whatever little command line file grabbing tool you prefer, really :)
[05:07] <qman__> as long as it's an HTTP get
[05:07] <qman__> since apt uses HTTP
[05:07] <qman__> you can use telnet if you want
[05:10] <clusty> http://pastebin.com/m6472610f
[05:10] <clusty> WTF
[05:10] <clusty> i also cannot wget
[05:11] <qman__> well, that pinpoints it
[05:11] <qman__> it's clearly a DNS issue on the local machine
[05:12] <clusty> http://pastebin.com/m5cb336c3
[05:12] <qman__> dig tends to work even if there's a local issue
[05:12] <clusty> how?
[05:12] <qman__> try nslookup
[05:12] <clusty> http://pastebin.com/m6309df9e
[05:12] <clusty> works
[05:12] <clusty> lemme see one thing
[05:12] <clusty> on this machine i was playing with puppet
[05:13] <clusty> to use as a slave
[05:13] <qman__> try ping
[05:13] <qman__> it might be an nsswitch thing
[05:13] <qman__> or whatever it is on ubuntu, I can't remember the name
[05:14] <clusty> ping what?
[05:14] <clusty> i did ping
[05:14] <clusty> and works
[05:14] <clusty> nscd?
[05:14] <clusty> i am using nsswitrch
[05:14] <clusty> cause machine have ldap auth
[05:16] <qman__> if ping works but wget doesn't, then it's a different issue from what I was thinking
[05:16] <qman__> wget is clearly not resolving the name, though it isn't clear why
[05:17] <clusty> besides an educational experience is a waste of time to fix :D
[05:17] <clusty> easiuer to reinstall all
[05:17] <clusty> one machine out of 10 is twitching
[05:17] <clusty> thanks for help
[05:17] <qman__> yeah, that's pretty odd
[05:18] <qman__> I've seen similar problems but all those tests show it's not those
[05:18] <clusty> will just install a fresh ubu and copy on top conf files
[05:18] <clusty> well i made a bit of mess of it :(
[05:18] <clusty> still don't have proper local dns working
[05:20] <clusty> thanks for trying
[05:33] <jmarsden> clusty: Sounds like you edited the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf and broke it, to me?
[05:34] <jmarsden> dig and nslookup contain their own resolvers, but normal command line tools like wget will use the system resolver libraries and so honor nsswitch.conf.
[05:37] <jmarsden> Are you already reinstalling, or do you want to pastebin your /etc/nsswitch.conf file?
[05:39] <clusty> i can pastebin
[05:39] <clusty> i canonet reinstall till monday
[05:39] <clusty> boxes are in germany
[05:39] <clusty> :D
[05:40] <clusty> jmarsden, http://pastebin.com/m41321ce6
[05:42] <clusty> that looks kinda fine to me
[05:42] <jmarsden> Looks OK... is /etc/resolv.conf sane?  Maybe pastebin that too?
[05:43] <clusty> http://pastebin.com/m11da9411
[05:43] <clusty> last package i installed was puppet
[05:44] <clusty> which i have yet to get working
[05:44] <jmarsden> OK, so DNS uses a local nameserver... is that nameserver at 192.168.0.1 known to be working?
[05:44] <clusty> yes
[05:44] <clusty> that is the router
[05:44] <clusty> and ping resolves IPs
[05:44] <clusty> i mean hostnames
[05:44] <jmarsden> If you replace it with your providers nameserver can you then wget and have the name resoltuion work for Ubuntu mirrors?
[05:44] <clusty> second
[05:46] <clusty> jmarsden, nope
[05:46] <clusty> jmarsden, but how can i even use it?
[05:46] <clusty> cause isp dns is: 192.168.178.1
[05:47] <clusty> nvm
[05:47] <clusty> :D
[05:47] <jmarsden> I think I can now explain the ping vs wget issue... ping links libresolve.so.2, wget uses the system resolver libs.
[05:47] <jmarsden> Huh?  How can your ISPs public DNS be a private IP address? :)
[05:47] <clusty> nvm
[05:47] <clusty> 1AM and too much beer :D
[05:48] <jmarsden> So ping does not read the /etc/resolv.conf (I think), but wget and most other apps do use whatever is in /etc/resolv.conf
[05:48] <jmarsden> I need to go AFK for a while, but I think if you just put working public nameserver IPs in your .etc/resolv.conf your DNS will work (for external hostname resolution, at least).
[05:49] <clusty> i got same resolv.conf on all machines
[05:49] <clusty> will try now with opendns
[05:49] <clusty> thanks
[05:49] <jmarsden> Ugh... opendns has other issues and is best avoided, IMO, but OK :)

[13:45] <nijaba> Daviey: is it really necessary to prefix each tip with "Ubuntu Server Tip: "?  It eats quite a few characters on an already limited space (18 out of 160)
[13:56] <Daviey> nijaba: not really, the reason for that is that it's my understanding that having the fortunes installed, means that when fortune is called on it's own, it will include our tips.  I feel that when someone fires the fortune command, and gets a server tip - it might be a little out of context
[13:56] <Daviey> However, i'm happy to remove it
[13:57] <nijaba> Daviey: right, but at the same time, fortunes never say where they are from, do they?
[13:58] <nijaba> Daviey: I am currently inserting all the confirmed tips that were waiting in the bug list
[13:58] <nijaba> Daviey: what do I need to do to update the po once done?
[14:20] <Daviey> nijaba: don't worry about that, i've got a commit waiting to resolve that..
[14:20] <Daviey> you essentially run the po4a with the cfg.
[14:20] <Daviey> (see debian/rules )
[14:21] <Daviey> nijaba: i'm sorry for brevity, being nagged to do DIY.
[14:21] <nijaba> Daviey: ok, I'll submit the new tips without the po updated then
[14:23] <Daviey> nijaba: i'll push the changes lool suggested today.
[16:53] <conky_> hey sup
[16:53] <conky_> anyone know how to remove all packages that are NOT dependant on ubuntu-server?
[16:53] <conky_> a reverse regex?
[16:56] <andresmujica> orphaned? or rdepends?
[16:56] <conky_> whats rdepends?
[16:57] <conky_> i want reverse of depends
[16:57] <conky_> however ubuntu-server package not currently installed working on it
[17:04] <conky_> andresmujica: ? and i meant ubuntu-minimal
[17:25] <conky_> ok
[17:25] <conky_> well
[17:25] <conky_> how about taking everything out thats not needed.....
[17:25] <conky_> anything besides deborphan?
[18:00] <giovani> ugh, ubuntu keyserver down for others?
[18:03] <jpds> giovani: Yes.
[18:10] <android6011> I installed ubuntu server to  a drive, now I am adding 2 drives into the machine. How can I get them to show up in /media/ArchiveDisk1 /media/MainStorage1 ? I know I can add a line to /etc/fstab but how do I figure out the UUID and all that
[18:10] <ruben23> hi
[18:11] <android6011> they are going to be data drives for ftp, samba etc so I don't know what other options I might need to add
[18:11] <conky_> eh
[18:11] <conky_> android6011:
[18:12] <conky_> open terminal; sudo fdisk -l
[18:12] <conky_> now you have the partitions and types
[18:12] <android6011> its showing as /dev/sda1
[18:12] <conky_> df -h should show that mounted already
[18:12] <conky_> most likely your root partition
[18:12] <conky_> use pastbin and show df -h
[18:12] <conky_> and sudo fdisk -l
[18:12] <conky_> and cat /etc/fstab
[18:13] <conky_> ::waits::
[18:13] <android6011> the thing is, the main disk used to be /dev/sda but now the new one is, i just don't want to mess anything up, if i add more disks later and have them get mixed up if the /dev/sd# changes
[18:13] <pmatulis> android6011: see blkid command and the contents of /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[18:13] <android6011> the new drive isnt listed as mounted at all
[18:14] <android6011> only sdb shows up in blkid
[18:14] <conky_> android6011: you need to open box and put main drive on sata port 0/1 whichever's first
[18:14] <conky_> then add the other drives whereever
[18:14]  * conky_ waits.
[18:15] <android6011> system drive is ide, others are sata
[18:15] <conky_> sigh.
[18:15] <conky_> well w/e
[18:15] <conky_> does it still boot?
[18:16] <conky_> /dev/sda7  /home ext4 relatime 0 2
[18:16] <android6011> ya it boots fine, i know how to set boot priority and everything fine in bios, its just like i said, i dont want to add drives later and because i added mount points to /etc/fstab by like /dev/sda1 and the drives get switched and things go bad
[18:16] <pmatulis> android6011: so use uuid's
[18:17] <android6011> i cant find UUID of the drive though, only the current mounted paritions
[18:17] <android6011> and like i said, im not sure if i should add in other options with the disk for better performance
[18:20] <android6011> and also, for data drives, what fs should i use? XFS?
[18:23] <maswan> I'd use xfs for anything over a dozen or so gb
[18:24] <android6011> well they are 1TB drives so i guess xfs it is
[18:24] <conky_> android6011:
[18:25] <conky_> /dev/sda7  /home ext4 relatime,user 0 2
[18:25] <conky_> thats my recommendation
[18:25] <conky_> just change dev and mountpoint
[18:25] <conky_> jf
[18:25] <conky_> hf **
[18:25] <android6011> conky_: so what does that do? the realtime,user 0 2 part?
[18:32] <conky_> android6011: google.
[18:33] <conky_> [update times accessed, let everyone thats user access, and the last bit you need to google, its  abit complicated]
[18:43] <android6011> ok I used fdisk to delete all the partitions on the disk, created new part table, added a partition size of the disk, and did mkfs -t xfs /dev/sda1 . So I should be good to add it to /etc/fstab now right? nothign else to be done
[18:50] <Alopoe> Hello guys do you know if the latest 64bit ubuntu server works with xen ?
[18:50] <Alopoe> without any need to recompile the kernel...
[18:59] <nick125> Alopoe: You have to get a kernel from somewhere else, since Ubuntu doesn't include a dom0 kernel in their repos.
[19:00] <nick125> I used Debian's Xen dom0 kernel and it works fine, for what it's worth.
[19:02] <Alopoe> nick i found that and installed debian also
[19:03] <Alopoe> but it seems now i get errors in loading the xen kernel :(
[19:03] <Alopoe> the last 2 lines before my system autoreboots xen are assign_interrupt_mode Found MSI capability
[19:03] <Alopoe> [    0.462917] no ownder
[19:03] <Alopoe> and then it hangs and auto reboot
[19:03] <Alopoe> i am using debian 2.6.30 kernel (amd64)
[19:05] <Alopoe> xen 3.4 and xen kernel 2.6.26-1-amd64
[19:05] <Alopoe> any ideas ?

[22:08] <android6011> what is your favorite ftp server software and why
[22:11] <domas> my favorite ftp server software is http server :)
[22:16] <mattgyver> I rm running Jinzora on my 9.04 server its a music CMS that runs via apache.
