=== Guest19755 is now known as eeguy [00:27] ScottK: good to hear :) === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [03:58] can anyone help me get sound working [03:58] or point me to some info how i can get it working on ubuntu server [03:59] this isn't helpful, but why do you need audio on a server? [04:02] need audio on my htpc [04:02] you'll probably get a lot more help setting up audio on the standard #ubuntu channel... [04:03] 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] i don't need GNOME or anything else running [04:22] DGMurdockIII: we understand [04:22] but the audio service is the same between desktop and server [04:23] ok [04:23] have you used alsamixer to unmute the master channel? [04:23] no [04:23] ... well that's essentially linux audio 101 :) [04:23] start alsamixer [04:23] and unmute all of the important-looking channels [04:24] if that dose not work [04:25] well clearly there are many things that can go wrong [04:25] but the troubleshooting for audio is generally the same across linux distributions [04:25] make sure the card is supported, and that the driver was loaded for it [04:28] hi anyone have setup [04:28] vsftpd..? [04:29] and wroking smoothly [04:42] sure, in the past === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [04:58] hey [04:59] got the weirdest problem ever: my machine has internet and somehow apt-get fails to get any packages [04:59] saying mirrors are unreachable, when they are online [05:00] any ideas what might this be? [05:02] Does your machine have working DNS? Have you tried using different mirrors? [05:02] first, check DNS [05:02] :) [05:02] then, check your apt sources.list [05:03] jmarsden, http://pastebin.com/m28c30def [05:03] i owuld say yes [05:04] ping works. from another machine that has identical list i can do everything just fine [05:04] next logical step, are you being blocked by a firewall along the way? [05:05] qman__, cannot see how. [05:06] 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] Or curl, or lftp, or whatever little command line file grabbing tool you prefer, really :) [05:07] as long as it's an HTTP get [05:07] since apt uses HTTP [05:07] you can use telnet if you want [05:10] http://pastebin.com/m6472610f [05:10] WTF [05:10] i also cannot wget [05:11] well, that pinpoints it [05:11] it's clearly a DNS issue on the local machine [05:12] http://pastebin.com/m5cb336c3 [05:12] dig tends to work even if there's a local issue [05:12] how? [05:12] try nslookup [05:12] http://pastebin.com/m6309df9e [05:12] works [05:12] lemme see one thing [05:12] on this machine i was playing with puppet [05:13] to use as a slave [05:13] try ping [05:13] it might be an nsswitch thing [05:13] or whatever it is on ubuntu, I can't remember the name [05:14] ping what? [05:14] i did ping [05:14] and works [05:14] nscd? [05:14] i am using nsswitrch [05:14] cause machine have ldap auth [05:16] if ping works but wget doesn't, then it's a different issue from what I was thinking [05:16] wget is clearly not resolving the name, though it isn't clear why [05:17] besides an educational experience is a waste of time to fix :D [05:17] easiuer to reinstall all [05:17] one machine out of 10 is twitching [05:17] thanks for help [05:17] yeah, that's pretty odd [05:18] I've seen similar problems but all those tests show it's not those [05:18] will just install a fresh ubu and copy on top conf files [05:18] well i made a bit of mess of it :( [05:18] still don't have proper local dns working [05:20] thanks for trying [05:33] clusty: Sounds like you edited the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf and broke it, to me? [05:34] 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] Are you already reinstalling, or do you want to pastebin your /etc/nsswitch.conf file? [05:39] i can pastebin [05:39] i canonet reinstall till monday [05:39] boxes are in germany [05:39] :D [05:40] jmarsden, http://pastebin.com/m41321ce6 [05:42] that looks kinda fine to me [05:42] Looks OK... is /etc/resolv.conf sane? Maybe pastebin that too? [05:43] http://pastebin.com/m11da9411 [05:43] last package i installed was puppet [05:44] which i have yet to get working [05:44] OK, so DNS uses a local nameserver... is that nameserver at 192.168.0.1 known to be working? [05:44] yes [05:44] that is the router [05:44] and ping resolves IPs [05:44] i mean hostnames [05:44] If you replace it with your providers nameserver can you then wget and have the name resoltuion work for Ubuntu mirrors? [05:44] second [05:46] jmarsden, nope [05:46] jmarsden, but how can i even use it? [05:46] cause isp dns is: 192.168.178.1 [05:47] nvm [05:47] :D [05:47] I think I can now explain the ping vs wget issue... ping links libresolve.so.2, wget uses the system resolver libs. [05:47] Huh? How can your ISPs public DNS be a private IP address? :) [05:47] nvm [05:47] 1AM and too much beer :D [05:48] 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] 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] i got same resolv.conf on all machines [05:49] will try now with opendns [05:49] thanks [05:49] Ugh... opendns has other issues and is best avoided, IMO, but OK :) [06:50] New bug: #424693 in samba (main) "samba install error" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/424693 [07:26] New bug: #235562 in vm-builder "Add ability to build Debian virtual machines" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/235562 [07:26] New bug: #287860 in vm-builder "vmbuilder EC2: Retry ec2-upload-bundle on failures" [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/287860 === jussi01 is now known as _ === _ is now known as jussi01 [12:50] New bug: #424789 in php5 (main) "PHP random segfaults on session_start();" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/424789 [13:45] 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] 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] However, i'm happy to remove it [13:57] Daviey: right, but at the same time, fortunes never say where they are from, do they? [13:58] Daviey: I am currently inserting all the confirmed tips that were waiting in the bug list [13:58] Daviey: what do I need to do to update the po once done? [14:20] nijaba: don't worry about that, i've got a commit waiting to resolve that.. [14:20] you essentially run the po4a with the cfg.

[16:53] a reverse regex? [16:56] orphaned? or rdepends? [16:56] whats rdepends? [16:57] i want reverse of depends [16:57] however ubuntu-server package not currently installed working on it === BigJB_ is now known as BigJB [17:04] andresmujica: ? and i meant ubuntu-minimal [17:25] ok [17:25] well [17:25] how about taking everything out thats not needed..... [17:25] anything besides deborphan? [18:00] ugh, ubuntu keyserver down for others? [18:03] giovani: Yes. === Guest46026 is now known as eeguy [18:10] 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] hi [18:11] 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] eh [18:11] android6011: [18:12] open terminal; sudo fdisk -l [18:12] now you have the partitions and types [18:12] its showing as /dev/sda1 [18:12] df -h should show that mounted already [18:12] most likely your root partition [18:12] use pastbin and show df -h [18:12] and sudo fdisk -l [18:12] and cat /etc/fstab [18:13] ::waits:: [18:13] 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] android6011: see blkid command and the contents of /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [18:13] the new drive isnt listed as mounted at all [18:14] only sdb shows up in blkid [18:14] android6011: you need to open box and put main drive on sata port 0/1 whichever's first [18:14] then add the other drives whereever [18:14] * conky_ waits. [18:15] system drive is ide, others are sata [18:15] sigh. [18:15] well w/e [18:15] does it still boot? [18:16] /dev/sda7 /home ext4 relatime 0 2 [18:16] 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] android6011: so use uuid's [18:17] i cant find UUID of the drive though, only the current mounted paritions [18:17] and like i said, im not sure if i should add in other options with the disk for better performance [18:20] and also, for data drives, what fs should i use? XFS? [18:23] I'd use xfs for anything over a dozen or so gb [18:24] well they are 1TB drives so i guess xfs it is [18:24] android6011: [18:25] /dev/sda7 /home ext4 relatime,user 0 2 [18:25] thats my recommendation [18:25] just change dev and mountpoint [18:25] jf [18:25] hf ** [18:25] conky_: so what does that do? the realtime,user 0 2 part? [18:32] android6011: google. [18:33] [update times accessed, let everyone thats user access, and the last bit you need to google, its abit complicated] [18:43] 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] Hello guys do you know if the latest 64bit ubuntu server works with xen ? [18:50] without any need to recompile the kernel... [18:59] Alopoe: You have to get a kernel from somewhere else, since Ubuntu doesn't include a dom0 kernel in their repos. [19:00] I used Debian's Xen dom0 kernel and it works fine, for what it's worth. [19:02] nick i found that and installed debian also [19:03] but it seems now i get errors in loading the xen kernel :( [19:03] the last 2 lines before my system autoreboots xen are assign_interrupt_mode Found MSI capability [19:03] [ 0.462917] no ownder [19:03] and then it hangs and auto reboot [19:03] i am using debian 2.6.30 kernel (amd64) [19:05] xen 3.4 and xen kernel 2.6.26-1-amd64 [19:05] any ideas ?
