[00:16] looking for ipac-ng; seems to have been last seen in dapper [00:21] Weasel[DK]: sorry, I have no idea, but often it happens because it's not maintained upstream anymore, or a better solution is available in another package, or such [00:22] tnx [00:23] any suggestions for ip accounting by ip address [00:25] no suggestions as in "this works for me", but from the description seems like net-acct should be able to do that ;) [00:26] I'm sure there are other solutions too [01:35] How do I configure apache to return all requests for any URL as HTTP 503 (and some error page)? [01:39] lfaraone: I don't know about a ready-made solution, but should be easy to write a simple script that does that? [01:40] JanC: okay, how can I rewrite all requests to any page to a single php/python script? [01:40] lfaraone: You can send all requests to the same file with a RewriteRule. [01:40] To return a static file with headers like "Status: 503" check out the ".asis" file extension. [01:41] e.g. http://www.dotcomunderground.com/blogs/2006/08/31/return-503-status-with-apache-webserver/ has an example [01:42] or what erichammond says ;) [01:43] you could use the same file content for that [01:43] .asis can handle a more volume than a script which is especially useful if you are getting flooded. [01:44] most likely (a dedicated apache module could be even faster of course) [01:44] JanC, erichammond, thanks. [01:45] Toss a RewriteCond before the RewriteRule and you can turn your maintenance page on with the simple creation of a file. === bdmurray_ is now known as bdmurray === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === Jagged_ is now known as Jagged === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond === greenfly_ is now known as greenfly [03:44] Gotta suck being these guys http://idle.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/09/16/1555252 [03:44] crap wrong channel sorry [03:49] I'm managing IT for a small (> 25) person company. I just started a few weeks ago, and they have NO server or domain of any kind right now. I'm seriously considering Ubuntu Server, but I'm concerned about single-sign on, directory services, and group policy management. Any insights or shared experiences would be greatly welcome. [04:15] which tools is used on ubuntu docuemntation ? mediawiki ? (http://help.ubuntu.com) [04:22] thiagocrepaldi: are you asking what type of wiki they use? if so I believe it is Moin Moin === Jagged_ is now known as Jagged [04:23] VK7HSE, yes. i asn't even sure if it was a wiki [04:23] wasn't* [04:23] ;) [04:24] i installed here, but i anted a "static website" look and feel to everybody else, tehn me [05:06] ikiwiki is a compile-oriented wiki. [05:07] You push changes to the wiki source repo, and as a post-hook ikiwiki runs which "compiles" statically rendered pages, which you can export with any old httpd. [05:07] Of course, that would ACTUALLY be static, rather than "looking and feeling" static... [08:51] who uses Eucalyptus under ubuntu 9.10 ? [09:00] My PPA package build is going to start in 11 hours?! https://launchpad.net/~alestic/+archive/ppa/+build/1274306 [09:01] Seems like this project might be able to use a little EC2-ness for spike loads. [09:10] hi there ...i just install kubuntu and i am getting "out of range" in my windows with a black screen. somebosy know how resolve it? [11:05] ? how the hell does one get postfix sasl to work? [12:08] This may not be the place, but I've installed mediatomb and can start/use it fine with cli input. How do I get it to start with boot? I added mediatomb to rc.local but it didn't seem to start up. [12:09] how did you add it? [12:09] simply added the line /usr/bin/mediatomb (then to test just added mediatomb) .. above the exit 0 line .. [12:09] then it should start [12:10] ivoks: I'll play with it a little more .. it'll restart with /etc/init.d/mediatomb restart .. but I don't see it running in top unless I start it myself with mediatomb .. [12:10] does it need ip? [12:11] <_ruben> no rc.local is needed, as it got a proper /etc/init.d/mediatomb [12:11] _ruben: that's what I was thinking .. [12:12] <_ruben> sudo update-rc.d mediatomb defaults [12:12] Then I edited the /etc/mediatomb/.config.xml file to match the one in my home directory .. still nothing .. [12:12] if you get ip by dhcp, and that service requires an IP to start, then think about it :) [12:12] _ruben: I'll try that .. [12:13] ivoks: all my boxes are static (17 all told in my house) .. [12:13] <_ruben> mediatomb is kinda nice, if only my tv's dlna implementation wouldnt suck so much :( [12:14] _ruben: I always forget how to add stuff to rc .. says it's already exists .. [12:14] <_ruben> might build me a ion based xbmc thingie [12:14] <_ruben> NineTeen67Comet: then it should work already, does for me atleast :) [12:14] Yeah I've installed it mainly for my PS3 .. my mythbuntu boxes already work great (no TV so I use a lot of my own movies) .. [12:15] <_ruben> might wanna check the logs to see why it fails [12:15] <_ruben> could double check update-rc.d's work with: ls /etc/rc?.d/*mediatomb [12:16] yeah, it seems odd .. I can start it manually in cli by typing mediatomb but if I check it when it boots nothing .. [12:16] <_ruben> also, does the screen show any attempts to start when booting up ? [12:16] Looks like it's trying to find it's html file in my home directory .. gotta change that back to the default directory .. [12:18] <_ruben> encrypted homedirs as well? had that problem with sabnzb+, looking for config in my homedir, which couldnt get decrypted once i logged in :) [12:18] yeah, I'm creating a /home/mediatomb/.mediatomb directory now .. with all my default configs .. [12:19] <_ruben> i dont recall mediatomb messing with files in homedirs, then again, been a while since i played with it [12:19] <_ruben> gave up on it due to my crappy dlna implementation tv (samsung 32") [12:20] <_ruben> no support for ffwd for instance [12:20] I started it initially as me as the user .. when I typed in mediatomb I didn't preface it with sudo or anything .. [12:21] _ruben: I hear your pain .. when I was trying s-video the resolution just sucked too bad to be useful .. [12:21] <_ruben> here it runs as user mediatomb, by using the init script [12:22] yeah mediatomb .. that's why I created the /home/mediatomb directory with all the .mediatomb files from my directory rsynced in .. (along with changing the permissions to mediatomb:mediatomb and chmod 777 them just to be ultra done .. lol [12:24] <_ruben> mediatomb's homedir is /var/lib/mediatomb, not /home/mediatomb though :) [12:27] _ruben: got it going .. just changed the file in /etc/meditomb/.config.xml to point to it's own directory instead of mine .. all's well that ends well .. [12:27] Now I gotta figure out how to hack my ADSL router (just moved into this place) so I can get my web sites back up .. sigh .. HATE VERIZON! [12:28] Thanks for the ideas _ruben .. off to bed .. [12:28] take care === diehaai is now known as thefish [15:52] Hey folks, regarding ubuntu-on-ec2, I noticed that linux-modules-VERSION-modules (ubuntu-on-ec2 ppa) has been upgraded since the canonical ami's (and so the aki/ari's) were released. Would the latest version still be compatible with the released AMI's (hardy LTS)? [16:39] What is the latest release of Ubuntu 8.04 ? [16:41] AnirbanHazra: There is a 8.04.3 point release [16:42] andol: Thanks, and I hope its LTS ? [16:56] AnirbanHazra: Actually 8.04.3 is still 8.04, and hence LTS. It's merely a new release/iso, saving you the trouble to download that many updates after install. [17:04] Hi. I am having problems downloading 6 updates on my ubuntu server. I get the error message saying "... Could not resolve 'gb.archive.ubuntu.com'" Can anyone help? [17:05] Ruadh, try a different mirror [17:05] clusty, how do i do that? [17:06] Ruadh, did you install some GUI to your server or you kept it totally headless ? [17:07] a small GUI [17:07] easiest is with synaptic [17:07] it's a GUI to the package manager [17:07] ok [17:08] I'll have a look thanks [17:08] you can chose software repositories [17:08] and it also can check for fastest mirror for you [17:09] andol: How long Ubuntu 8.04 LTS is supported ? === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [17:09] i think it is 2 years maybe? === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [17:10] AnirbanHazra: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#Releases%20and%20Version%20Numbers [17:12] btw, how does one upgrade a server distro? [17:12] i presume there is no update-manager -d equivalent? [17:13] can i just replace the sources.list ? [17:19] clusty_, I tried synaptic bit it came up with the same error. [17:19] oop [17:19] Ruadh, you changed your mirror? [17:19] or tried the same? [17:19] how do i do that in synaptic? [17:20] check settings [17:20] you will havething called repositories [17:20] or whatever [17:21] and you can chose from a big list the mirror [17:21] and then you can choose the repos you want [17:41] clusty_, All done and dusted.
