| === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond | ||
| unit3 | hmm... looking at those topologies for UEC is interesting. it looks like it's yet another infrastructure with single points of failure. (CLC/Walrus/CC/SC) | 00:02 |
| unit3 | I wish someone would design something that isn't that... where you have nodes, and any of them can also be the coordinating node, and if the coordinator disappears, they have an election and make a new one, transparently. | 00:03 |
| unit3 | that'd be more useful for failover and management. | 00:03 |

| unit3 | sysErroR: and what does "ldd" show for your binary, sysErroR? | 00:06 |
| unit3 | erm, which missing ones, anyway? | 00:06 |
| sysErroR | sec | 00:06 |
| sysErroR | uh, I've never used ldd, what's the command to show missing binaries? sorry if I seem like a noob. | 00:07 |
| unit3 | something like: | 00:08 |
| unit3 | ldd myprogram | grep "not found" | 00:08 |
| unit3 | ;) | 00:08 |
| unit3 | or without the grep just to see all the lib dependancies. | 00:08 |
| xperia | unit3: i am just curios ! how can i test on my server what for ports are open at the moment? | 00:10 |
| unit3 | xperia: nmap's good. only problem is you have to run it from somewhere outside your firewall to see reasonable results. | 00:11 |
| sysErroR | syserror@linode:~/ircd/etc$ ldd openssl | 00:11 |
| sysErroR | ldd: ./openssl: No such file or directory | 00:11 |
| sysErroR | syserror@linode:~/ircd/etc$ | 00:11 |
| sysErroR | I might have done that wrong | 00:11 |
| unit3 | sysErroR: you run it against the compiled binary you generated, whatever that's called. | 00:11 |
| unit3 | whatever it is, it's probably not in the /etc subdir. ;) | 00:12 |
| unit3 | xperia: if you just want to see what ports your server has open locally, you can use netstat. "netstat -tlpn" will tell you tcp ports, "netstat -ulpn" will tell you udp ports. | 00:15 |
| unit3 | and what processes have them open, which is good for figuring out "mystery" ones. ;) | 00:15 |
| unit3 | heh, finally found the answer to my own lvm q earlier (didn't look at man pages hard enough) | 00:22 |
| unit3 | "vgscan --mknodes" was what I wanted. I knew it existed! ;) | 00:22 |
| Guest16660 | hey i am running postfix on ubuntu server and can email myself and receive email from a windows server 2003 running hmail, but when i try to send from linux box to server 2003 I get a: "recipient address rejected: user unknown in local recipient table" any thoughts? | 00:34 |
| unit3 | is server2003 running exchange or some other MTA? and is the user you're trying to send to set up there? | 00:35 |
| Guest16660 | no just hmail, and the user is setup on the other end | 00:36 |
| unit3 | in the error message you get back on the linux mail server, does it specify which mail server is giving that error (the linux one or the win2k3 one) and is there any more details? | 00:37 |
| Guest16660 | the linux mail server is receiving the error from what appears to be the win2k3 server, and there are no more details beyond that. There are also no log entries regarding the error. | 00:39 |
| billybigrigger | what about on the win2k server? surely an error report there no? | 00:40 |
| unit3 | can you test sending to the same address on the win2k3 server just via telnet? that's always my fallback when I'm working with two MTAs and I don't know which one is misconfigured. | 00:41 |
| unit3 | telnet to port 25 on the server, send it some raw (simple) smtp commands. see what happens. | 00:41 |
| Guest16660 | no error in the logs on 2k3, but i can send to myself on 2k3, testing telnet now | 00:42 |
| piotrekm | hello | 00:43 |
| piotrekm | is it posible to configure own dns server to support subdomains for a dyndns domain? | 00:43 |
| unit3 | Guest16660: ideally, you'd telnet from the linux server to the windows server on port 25, and then send a really simple message, and see if it gives you the same error. | 00:44 |
| unit3 | piotrekm: I don't see why not, but that'll only work if your dyndns provider does subdomain delegation to you, which they might not do. | 00:44 |
| piotrekm | unit3: so it's not possible in every case? | 00:45 |
| unit3 | nope. | 00:45 |
| Guest16660 | telnet connection refused | 00:46 |
| Guest16660 | i think my bind server might be off | 00:47 |
| unit3 | erm, should have nothing to do with it. you're telnetting to port 25, right? | 00:47 |
| unit3 | on the windows server? | 00:47 |
| Guest16660 | yup | 00:47 |
| Guest16660 | from linux to windows | 00:47 |
| unit3 | well... sounds like it's not allowing connections from your linux box. which doesn't explain the error you got before. | 00:47 |
| unit3 | were either of these machines working properly before this? or are they both new installs? | 00:48 |
| Guest16660 | they are basically fresh installs and everything has been configured from scratch | 00:49 |
| unit3 | ahhh... that's tough then, since you have two servers where you're not certain either are working or configured correctly. | 00:49 |
| unit3 | I'd try them each against an external source, like a gmail account, to try and narrow down which one is broken, since it's unlikely to be both of them. | 00:49 |
| Guest16660 | yeah i know, I pretty much have nothing to go off of | 00:49 |
| unit3 | and from what we've discussed here, it sounds like it's the windows server. ;) | 00:50 |
| Guest16660 | I will do that, I really appreciate the help | 00:50 |

| Hypnoz | anyone here familiar with making apt-get install silent? apt-get -y install nis still prompts me. Making it hard to put it in a pxe image | 00:53 |
| unit3 | Hypnoz: did you try -qq like was suggested before? what did that do? | 00:53 |
| Hypnoz | it silenced output, but it still put up a full screen prompt for NIS domain | 00:53 |
| Hypnoz | tried --force-yes too | 00:54 |
| unit3 | ahhh... | 00:54 |
| unit3 | you need something to change the prompting level for debconf. | 00:54 |
| Hypnoz | hmm let me try a higher silence level | 00:54 |
| Hypnoz | apt-get install -q=2 didn't change anything | 00:55 |
| unit3 | Hypnoz: http://blog.hjksolutions.com/articles/2007/07/27/unattended-package-installation-with-debian-and-ubuntu | 00:57 |

| kenyabob | Is there a way to configure postfix so that when I test comment forms on development sites, the addresses I send the test to dont reject it as spam? | 01:05 |
| unit3 | not really... that type of classification is done on the receiving side, obviously, so unless you control the receiving mail servers, there's not much you can do about it. | 01:06 |
| unit3 | sort of the point of spam filtering that the sender can't really influence how it gets classified. ;) | 01:06 |
| kenyabob | unit3, someone had mentioned trusted relay? | 01:06 |
| unit3 | that works if you know what relays the receiver trusts. again, you'd sort of have to run those mail servers to know that. | 01:07 |
| unit3 | if you have spam filtering options on the receiving side, you can possibly whitelist the addresses you're sending from. | 01:08 |
| === ajaya_ is now known as ajaya | ||
| kenyabob | So, really, there is no way to test out comment forms to other people when you are simple an unmarked machine and IP? | 01:10 |
| lamont | kenyabob: I certainly hope not. at least not to random addresses... | 01:16 |
| unit3 | kenyabob: sure there is, but it's dependant on the receiving mail server. | 01:16 |
| unit3 | if you don't control the receiving mail server, then it's really not up to you how it's interpreted at the other end. | 01:17 |
| lamont | kenyabob: given the amount of effort that has gone into making it so that webform-generated spam gets dropped as spam, that is | 01:17 |
| unit3 | for test purposes, you'd generally set up your own receiving mail server, and then test against that until you were ready to go live on a real web host. | 01:18 |
| unit3 | that's usually sufficient. | 01:18 |
| ghostlines | does virt-manager work with the latest version of Xen? | 01:21 |

| billybigrigger | my regular user shows up in last and who | 03:20 |
| billybigrigger | wtmp exists yes | 03:20 |
| billybigrigger | i know root used to show up aswell, before i disabled root logins that is | 03:21 |
| jmarsden | teddymills: Yes, you can add mdadm to a single drive server. If you want to take a giant performance hit, you can even create a "RAID array" made from two partitions of the same drive, but that is pretty silly... :) | 03:21 |
| jmarsden | billybigrigger: When matts logged in, did he in fact create a shell session, or was he using scp or something like that? | 03:21 |
| billybigrigger | ssh port forwarding | 03:22 |
| billybigrigger | that must be why he doesn't show then | 03:22 |
| jmarsden | Yes, if he isn't running a shell he won't show up in wtmp, I think. | 03:22 |
| teddymills | i installed ubuntu 8.043 server on single drive server test box..and installed mdadm after the install was done...then i changed the partitions to 'fd' to my amazement the system still boots up!. I changed the partions from ext3 to linux raid autodetect and installed mdadm AFTer the OS was installed. I think I am home free! | 03:28 |

| Aison | then I can modify fstab, remove the nfs entries | 08:37 |
| Aison | and reboot | 08:37 |
| ivoks | so.. you have 0 2 on nfs shares? | 08:37 |
| ivoks | paste the line with nfs share | 08:37 |
| ivoks | in fstab | 08:37 |

| Ng | soren: on my karmic eucalyptus machine, the avahi upstart job is telling it to use the config file /etc/eucalyptus/avahi-daemon.conf | 10:13 |

| Ng | soren: I'm entirely confident that his grasp on the subtleties of this is significantly tighter than mine :) | 10:15 |

| cjwatson | well, by "in lucid" I mean "in eucalyptus bzr not yet uploaded" | 10:21 |
| twb | Is eucalyptus an Ubuntu-specific thing? I assumed it was an upstream project. | 10:22 |

| twb | Pupeno: how much ram do those services use when you first start them? | 10:26 |
| Pupeno | twb: I've restarted half an hour ago, let me check. | 10:27 |
| twb | I mean 720MB just to BOOT UP wouldn't surprise me if it was Java | 10:27 |
| cjwatson | twb: if you're going to do that with debbugs, it's better to imitate dak precisely and use Source: and Source-Version: | 10:28 |
| cjwatson | there are some slight semantic differences | 10:28 |
| Pupeno | Zope is using the most at 152mb. | 10:28 |
| Pupeno | Apache second with 46mb. | 10:28 |
| twb | cjwatson: ah, thanks. | 10:28 |
| Pupeno | Generally the first process to be killed due to out of memory is MySQL. | 10:28 |
| Pupeno | Hold on, I think I'm reading the numbers wrong. That is VIRT in top. | 10:29 |
| twb | Pupeno: certainly a badly-written app could achieve that kind of resource usage. I don't know how fugly zope and wordpress are internally. | 10:29 |
| Pupeno | MySQL is already at 131m. | 10:29 |
| twb | Pupeno: you'll also want to check that it's not doing something coincidentally, like rebuilding an index or something. | 10:29 |
| Pupeno | twb: well, zope never receives those visits. I mention it just because they eat a big part of the 720MB. | 10:30 |
| Pupeno | twb: it happened pretty consistently. The last three times my blog was on reddit, my server died. | 10:30 |

| arj | without the ? obviously | 11:57 |
| nyk2005 | soren: yes, very confident! | 11:58 |
| BeardedChimp | I'm trying to DNAT incoming packets on a ppp0 interface, however even if i do iptables -t nat -i ppp0 -j ACCEPT ; it doesn't show any packets when I do iptables -t nat -nL ; Does anyone know why this might be happening? They do come up if i do iptables -t mangle -i ppp0 .... but i dont want to mangle them i want to nat them | 12:02 |
| soren | nyk2005: Can you check? Do you your full syslog all the way back to when it was added? | 12:03 |
| twb | BeardedChimp: you can't ACCEPT in a nat table; it's not meaningful to do so. | 12:03 |
| twb | BeardedChimp: talk to #netfilter about it. | 12:03 |
| nyk2005 | soren: yes.. | 12:06 |
| soren | nyk2005: Try grepping for "Adding .* swap" | 12:07 |
| Aison | arj, I think it's something like 2>&1 | 12:09 |

| arj | Aison, that does not prevent it from failing | 12:09 |
| twb | Aison: 2>/dev/null will suppress error MESSAGES. || true will suppress the error EXIT STATUS, which is what post-up cares about. | 12:09 |
| arj | but that supresses the messages, not the codes | 12:10 |
| arj | what he said | 12:10 |
| Aison | ok, thx | 12:10 |
| soren | nyk2005: Ok. which kernel version is this? | 12:10 |
| BeardedChimp | twb: Ah, I was only doing accept to demonstrate that it wasn't recognising the packets | 12:13 |
| BeardedChimp | twb: If i did -j DNAT .... it still picks up no packets | 12:14 |
| soren | BeardedChimp: which chain are you adding this rule to? | 12:14 |
| BeardedChimp | nat | 12:15 |
| BeardedChimp | prerouting | 12:15 |
| BeardedChimp | ie. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -j DNAT --to-destination .... | 12:16 |

| xperia | hello to all. i am trying to get the php extension xdebug on my ubuntu server to run but for some reason i have problems with this. | 13:31 |
| xperia | i was able with "sudo pecl install xdebug" to fetch and install the extension on my server. | 13:31 |
| xperia | in the php.ini file /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini i have added this line here "extension=xdebug.so" and restarted apache2 | 13:31 |
| xperia | but php -m dont show me that the extension was loaded till yet. | 13:31 |
| xperia | can somebody help me with this ? | 13:31 |
| zul | yeah it was a freudian slip | 13:31 |
| soren | xperia: /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini is the config file for mod_php5. | 13:33 |
| soren | xperia: If you run php from the command line, you're not using mod_php5. | 13:33 |
| soren | xperia: If you want xdebug to work from the command line, you should also tweak /etc/php5/cli/php.ini | 13:33 |
| xperia | hmmm i am using a normal ubuntu server setup. in this case i have then also to change /etc/php5/cli/php.ini | 13:34 |

| jdstrand | ttx: hey, would you mind looking at my comments in bug #274350? | 15:00 |
| uvirtbot | Launchpad bug 274350 in likewise-open "apparmor HOMEDIRS not adjusted for likewise" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/274350 | 15:00 |
| jdstrand | ttx: I'd like to get likewise and apparmor playing well together for lucid | 15:00 |
| ttx | jdstrand: that's a worthy goal :) | 15:02 |
| jdstrand | ttx: I'm confident it can be done, we just need to think about it a bit | 15:03 |
| ttx | jdstrand: I think forcing to use /home/likewise-open/NAME_OF_AD_DOMAIN/username as home directory is a little... heavy | 15:05 |
| ttx | jdstrand: also there is the upgrade scenario that may get complex | 15:06 |
| jdstrand | ttx: this is only for new installs | 15:06 |
| jdstrand | ttx: upgrades have presumably fixed the profile | 15:06 |
| jdstrand | people doing upgrades have presumably fixed the profile | 15:06 |
| ttx | jdstrand: could a file with accepted domain names be dropped somewhere and the tunable use it ? | 15:07 |
| jdstrand | ttx: I see administrative benefits to putting them in /home/likewise-open as well-- it is much easier to do local backups, etc | 15:07 |
| jdstrand | ttx: yes | 15:07 |
| jdstrand | ttx: we need to update the tools, but it can be done | 15:07 |
| ttx | jdstrand: because I /think/ the domain name is a known quantity once we join the domain | 15:08 |
| jdstrand | though I guess if %D doesn't really change, there aren't many admin benefits | 15:08 |
| ttx | jdstrand: I'd suggest discussing the issue with Jerry Carter, he knows the likewise side of the story better than I do | 15:08 |
| jdstrand | ttx: when installing likewise, are you prompted to configure %D? | 15:09 |
| ttx | jdstrand: and will get very creative to avoid creating homedirs in a subdirectory :) | 15:09 |
| ttx | jdstrand: no, but you actively join the domain | 15:09 |
| ttx | so the domainjoin tool could drop/modify the tunable | 15:09 |
| ttx | though there is this domain trust thing... joining one domain for auth might give you several "users" domain | 15:10 |
| ttx | ... and we are almost reaching the limits of my AD knowledge | 15:10 |
| ttx | jdstrand: I'll send an email to Jerry introducing the issue and yourself to him | 15:11 |
| * jdstrand wonders if apparmor would need to be reloaded in that scenario... | 15:11 | |
| jdstrand | jjohansen: if I change /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home, do I have to regenerate all the cached profiles? | 15:12 |
| ttx | I don 't want us to design a solution that would end up breaking likewise-open usage, just because we ignore a lot about likewise-open ;) | 15:12 |
| jdstrand | ttx: sure | 15:12 |
| jjohansen | jdstrand: yes | 15:12 |
| jdstrand | ttx: we carry our own lwiauthd.conf, and 'template homedir' is configurable, so it seemed like an easy change | 15:13 |
| jjohansen | jdstrand: currently the parser only check the stamp on the profile file, and not any of its dependencies (includes) | 15:13 |
| jdstrand | jjohansen: ok | 15:13 |
| jjohansen | something we intend to fix | 15:13 |
| jdstrand | ttx: what is Jerry's nick again? is it coffeedude? | 15:14 |
| ttx | yes | 15:14 |
| jdstrand | (seems like it may be...) | 15:14 |
| ttx | coffeedude: around ? | 15:15 |
| jdstrand | coffeedude: hi! when you get a chance, can you look at bug #274350? | 15:15 |
| uvirtbot | Launchpad bug 274350 in likewise-open "apparmor HOMEDIRS not adjusted for likewise" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/274350 | 15:15 |

| ttx | just in case he misses the notice | 15:15 |
| jdstrand | jjohansen: if you want to peek at that bug too, I surely wouldn't mind ;) | 15:15 |
| jdstrand | ttx: can you privmsg me his email? | 15:16 |
| coffeedude | ttx, hey | 15:16 |
| ttx | You'll have his email in 2 minutes, whe you receive the cc :) | 15:16 |
| ttx | arh | 15:16 |
| * ttx drops his email draft | 15:17 | |
| ttx | coffeedude: Just a quick reminder, we are expecting the bugs being filed (with appropriate fixes) to kerberos and openldap by December 7 :) | 15:17 |
| coffeedude | Is this the apparmor home directory things? | 15:17 |
| ttx | coffeedude: yes | 15:17 |
| coffeedude | ttx, I know. | 15:17 |
| jdstrand | coffeedude: yeah | 15:17 |
| ttx | coffeedude: Most solutions involve confining homedirs created by likewise-open in a specific directory, which might not look very good from a user perspective. | 15:17 |
| ttx | but more subtle solutions might break likewise-open or require some actions from domainjoin | 15:18 |
| coffeedude | let me loot at the whole thing. brb. | 15:18 |
| jdstrand | coffeedude: if you read my latest comment in the bug, the current situation and problem should be clear | 15:18 |
| coffeedude | Hey jdstrand. Yeah. It's pretty clear. I don't think most user's would really care where the home directory goes initially. And if they did (e.g. nfs mounts), then they probably manage that themselves anyways. | 15:21 |
| coffeedude | jdstrand, ttx, that said....upgrades would be a pain. | 15:21 |
| jdstrand | coffeedude: well, I wasn't really thinking we would do anything on upgrades | 15:22 |
| coffeedude | jdstrand, or would be leave the home directory template left as is on an upgrade? | 15:22 |
| jdstrand | coffeedude: we'd punt, assuming they already adjusted tunables before now | 15:22 |
| jdstrand | coffeedude: exactly | 15:22 |
| coffeedude | jdstrand, I'm kind of a noob wrt to apparmor. When you modify a profile, does it require an apparmor reload or reboot or reparse or something? | 15:23 |
| jdstrand | coffeedude: yes | 15:23 |
| jdstrand | coffeedude: it is just one command though | 15:23 |
| coffeedude | jdstrand, Modifying the @HOMEDIRS in apparmor during domain join is not really a viable option either since new domain trusts maybe added after the join....template homedir = /home/likewise-open/%D/%U seems best. | 15:24 |
| jdstrand | coffeedude: I might say that this bug is as old as likewise is in Ubuntu, so likewise users in the past have had to do something to tunables anyway. it is new installs I'd like to get fixed | 15:24 |
| ttx | coffeedude: yes, that was my fear | 15:25 |
| jdstrand | coffeedude: that is excellent news, and the most easy to implement :) | 15:25 |
| coffeedude | jdstrand, ttx, I'll go ahead and add that change the likewise-open 5.4 packaging.... | 15:25 |
| jdstrand | so, just need to (not) handle upgrades gracefully | 15:25 |
| coffeedude | jdstrand, I'll need to talk to ssalley (on my side). We'll figure out something. | 15:26 |
| jdstrand | coffeedude: cool. if this is Ubuntu specific packaging, do you mind adding the suggested comment above template homedir, so people can more easily avoid pain? | 15:26 |
| coffeedude | ttx, Planning on having the openldap/krb5 status and changes to you on Monday. Tuesday morning GMT-5 at latest. | 15:26 |
| ttx | coffeedude: sounds good ! | 15:27 |
| MenZa | My 'coffee' highlight is getting abused :( | 15:27 |
| coffeedude | jdstrand, Q - Is this a change going into 8.04 or just moving forward with Lucid? | 15:27 |
| jdstrand | coffeedude: I'll adjust apparmor tunables accordingly | 15:27 |
| jdstrand | coffeedude: just Lucid | 15:27 |
| coffeedude | jdstrand, k. We've agreed on /home/likewise-open/* then | 15:28 |
| coffeedude | MenZa, Sorry :) Had this nick for years. | 15:28 |
| jdstrand | coffeedude: hardy users only got hit by this when the trid to use cups-pdf afaics | 15:28 |
| MenZa | coffeedude: Not a problem. | 15:28 |
| * MenZa sends a large mug of coffee in coffeedude's direction. | 15:28 | |
| * coffeedude makes a sound like "ahhh....." | 15:28 | |
| jdstrand | coffeedude: there are more profiles in lucid, notably evince, so it'd be painful to not fix | 15:28 |
| coffeedude | jdstrand, ACK. I'll update the bug report with the decision | 15:29 |

| karname | how ? is there any script like it ? | 15:49 |
| karname | bash: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory | 15:49 |

| mdz | we don't try to read it | 18:17 |
| smoser | i'm confused. dont try to read it. i realize i was confused a bit above, but in the manifest path has something like:ubuntu-images-testing-us/ubuntu-lucid-daily-amd64-server-20091203.manifest.xml | 18:20 |
| smoser | which is basically the build version | 18:20 |
| smoser | and i thought that apport was getting it. it might be nice to put that in the console output (along with other useful data, like "adding public key with id 'smoser@brickies' to /root/.authorized-keys" | 18:21 |
| mdz | smoser, apport is getting that string "ubuntu-images-testing-us/..." | 18:23 |
| mdz | or should be, I haven't checked it since it was originally implemented and it seemed to work | 18:23 |
| mdz | smoser, I don't think we've sufficiently trained folks to report bugs from the instance using ubuntu-bug | 18:24 |
| mdz | blog topic maybe? | 18:24 |
| erichammond | mdz: You finally got me doing it after however many years I've been using Ubuntu. | 18:25 |
| smoser | yeah, i have a major 'blog' todo. primarily in "start writing one" and "get on ubuntu planet" | 18:25 |
| smoser | it acutally suprises me how often people on ec2ubuntu use the ami id | 18:26 |
| mdz | smoser, you can refer to http://mdzlog.alcor.net/2009/03/31/please-dont-report-ubuntu-bugs-directly-to-launchpad/ for the general spiel on why ubuntu-bug is a good idea | 18:26 |
| smoser | as "i'm running ami-xbaddfsa", which makes me have to check if thats erichammond's fault or mine :) | 18:26 |
| erichammond | smoser: likewise :) | 18:26 |
| mdz | smoser, perhaps we should have a bot in here which automatically translates? | 18:27 |
| erichammond | mdz: +1 | 18:27 |
| smoser | that would be neat | 18:27 |
| mdz | ubottu, can you do that for us? | 18:28 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:28 |
| mdz | oh well | 18:28 |
| erichammond | mdz, smoser: If you think it would help, I could do a short blog post on alestic.com about reporting bugs on EC2 instances with ubuntu-bug. | 18:28 |
| mdz | smoser, http://www.wordpress.com/ and you can be up and running in a few minutes | 18:28 |
| mdz | erichammond, that would be great | 18:28 |
| mdz | smoser still should have a blog though ;-) | 18:28 |

| ab2283 | hi, quick question: is there any known issue with vsftpd and pam_smbpass.o authentication in karmic? my vsftpd segfaults or denies authentication, seemingly at random :/ | 19:25 |
| RoyK | ab2283: try to compile it and debug it if it happens again :P | 19:27 |
| RoyK | you prolly can't gdb / backtrace the one installed | 19:27 |
| ab2283 | RoyK: i didn't really want to go that far. the configuration is pretty much stock. that's what's bothering me | 19:28 |
| ab2283 | RoyK: i don't know what i possibly could have done to screw it up | 19:28 |
| RoyK | then I'd recompile it with the config from apt-get source | 19:28 |
| RoyK | problem is that the one installed is stripped, so you don't have much symbols | 19:28 |
| RoyK | meaning it's not possible to make a backtrace | 19:28 |
| RoyK | if it crashes on random places, the chance of memory error is prominent | 19:29 |

| j03lar50n | in 9.10, i am trying to setup a DHCP server behind a Charter Business ISP (static ip) - i will be serving Windows clients . Questions: 1)must i include Subnet Mask and Gateway, specific to the static ip, under the Fixed IP section in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf? 2)dhcp3-server says i "need to specify a WINS server for your Windows clients..", is this just including 'option netbios-name-servers xxx.xxx.x.x;'? what ip should i | 20:17 |
| unit3 | ok, a, you don't need a wins server. it's hardly necessary on most networks. | 20:17 |
| unit3 | b), you want to have a separate, reserved subnet for your computers, nothing to do with the charter IP. | 20:18 |
| j03lar50n | great | 20:18 |
| unit3 | and you'll want it on a separate interface, firewalled using nat to the interface with the charter IP. otherwise, your DHCP server will interfere with other charter users, and get you in trouble. ;) | 20:18 |
| aubre | pick a nice 192.168.x.x subnet | 20:19 |
| unit3 | yeah, or 10.x.x.x. | 20:20 |
| unit3 | reminds me, one of these days I need to play with ipv6 at home. get a good handle on that IRL, rather than just reading about it. | 20:20 |
| j03lar50n | right now i'm just using my linksys router to as DHCP - so looking through the config/setup there and pasting into dhcpd.conf most pieces thx all :) | 20:23 |
| mneptok | j03lar50n: what model Linksys? | 20:24 |
| j03lar50n | wrt54g | 20:25 |
| mneptok | j03lar50n: not WRT54GL or WRT54GS? | 20:25 |
| j03lar50n | nope mneptok straight WRT54G | 20:25 |
| mneptok | j03lar50n: which revision? | 20:26 |
| === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx | ||
| j03lar50n | v5 mneptok | 20:27 |
| mneptok | j03lar50n: pity. alternative firmwares only support v1-4. | 20:28 |
| mneptok | j03lar50n: Tomato or OpenWRT on the Linksys will give you a lot more functionality. but they do not work with the revision you have. | 20:29 |
| j03lar50n | dang it mneptok - too bad for us. would you know if moving the DHCP to a 'real' server box running 9.10 & acting as our DHCP server would improve performance versus that of the router serving it? | 20:30 |
| mneptok | j03lar50n: no way to tell. that is depenedent on so many variables that any answer without knowing your network topography well will be meaningless. | 20:31 |
| j03lar50n | gotcha | 20:32 |
| mneptok | j03lar50n: but it may well improve things. the v5 WRT54G has reduced flash and RAM than prior revisions. memory overhead is severely constrained. | 20:32 |

| richierich | hello | 21:42 |
| jeiworth | donspaulding: i would check where sshd logs to and analyze that file | 21:42 |
| richierich | hey guys is there a way to stop samba and NTP from printing in tty1 login on my ubuntu server? | 21:42 |
| adac | i installed gnoe on my server but now the gdm greeter appears all the time. how can I set that the server starts in textmode again? | 21:43 |
| adac | *gnome | 21:43 |
| jeiworth | adac: quick and dirty, you could simply chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm | 21:44 |
| jeiworth | but iirc there is a file where you can configure autostart behaviour, i did that for openvpn but i have absolutely no idea where that was...hmmm | 21:45 |
| richierich | adac: couldnt you just alt+ctrl+backspace and kill X and then start it up when you need it again? | 21:45 |
| adac | richierich, could do that, but i would prefer that it starts in textmode in the first place | 21:46 |
| jeiworth | adac: ah, i think it was in /etc/default/openvpn maybe you have a file called gdm there? | 21:46 |
| richierich | i think gdm would try and restart it automatically anyways you might have to do something like sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop to make sure that doesnt happen | 21:47 |
| adac | jeiworth, I meant on the physical server machine starts up gdm/gnome login window | 21:47 |
| richierich | adac: try this http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/prevent-xorg-from-starting-in-linux/ | 21:48 |

| adac | jeiworth, what has that to do with openvpn? | 21:49 |
| adac | richierich, I'll ty that out! | 21:49 |
| jeiworth | adac: if you would actually read what i wrote i was using openvpn merely as an example | 21:50 |

| unit3 | are you running some really old ubuntu server release that you'd want an old jdk? | 23:01 |
| unit3 | as opposed to just installing the current sun-java6-jdk package? | 23:02 |
| cjwatson | or better openjdk. however, there's a sun-java5-jdk package in releases up to 9.04, in case you need specifically that for some reason | 23:03 |
| unit3 | true. | 23:03 |
| cjwatson | (sun-java6 is planned to move to the partner archive for lucid, in the cause of trying to further encourage the use of openjdk when possible) | 23:04 |
| unit3 | oh, cool. didn't know that. | 23:04 |
| cjwatson | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-lucid-dropping-sun-java6 | 23:04 |

| === robbiew is now known as robbiew-afk | ||
| unit3 | umm, it doesn't remove init scripts, it just adds and removes links to them in the /etc/rcX.d directories. | 23:41 |

| TDJACR | What would be the best way to load balence three web servers running Apache? | 23:44 |
| unit3 | depends on the content on them, what kinds of edge cases are acceptable. | 23:46 |
| unit3 | if it's just static content, then you can stick keepalived in front of them and be done with it. | 23:46 |
| unit3 | otherwise, you'll have to take a look at your data flow, see how to replicated it between servers, etc. | 23:46 |
| TDJACR | It's dynamic through Django and other Pythonic frameworks | 23:47 |
| unit3 | ok, and is all data stored in MySQL? because you could use MySQL multimaster replication then, and still stick keepalived in front. | 23:47 |
| TDJACR | Yes, it is. I want to balence both the loads to apache (over 3) and MySQL over two | 23:48 |
| unit3 | why just over two? why not over all 3, so you have better failover coverage? | 23:49 |
| TDJACR | I suppose so. | 23:50 |
| unit3 | in any case, the only problem you're going to have is keeping data files uploaded by users synced. if you had a SAN you could put the web files on a distributed filesystem like OCFS2, and that'd cover it. | 23:50 |
| unit3 | or, if you had only 2 systems you could use DRBD for that as well. | 23:51 |
| unit3 | if users never upload files outside of the database, then you're ok too. just make sure that the web files don't get out of sync manually. | 23:51 |
| unit3 | regardless, keepalived on a firewall in front of them will handle the load distribution, and works quite well. | 23:52 |
| TDJACR | Well, I expect more database than actual files, but, how does a group such as wikimedia manage their photos across many servers? | 23:52 |
| TDJACR | Also, does Keepalived need to be in front of the switch, or can it be a node that's purpose is contacting the others | 23:53 |
| TDJACR | On the same network, in the same position | 23:54 |
