[03:31] 9.10 64bit [03:31] I think the only officially supported version of Ubuntu is the last LTS [03:32] did you install from command line so you can still give us the output?

[03:44] http://pastebin.com/m532d6299 [03:45] I don't think it's a mod however... it should be it's own tool [03:45] sample use would be ab2 -c1 -n500 http://google.com/index.php [03:45] MTecknology: i copy and pasted your command [03:45] Which would hit http://google.com/index.php 500 times [03:45] but it's used for benchmarking webservers, I want to use it on my own server [03:47] got it [03:47] Doonz: do this... rm -r /lib/modules/2.6.31-16-server/misc/ then /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl [03:47] it's 'ab' not 'ab2' [03:47] sorry === robbiew is now known as robbiew_ [03:47] ChrisRut: did you find it after installing the -utils package?

Xen is usually a better choice if your system can handle it. but for small implementations vmware works decent enough [04:11] Doonz: for my system I use virtualboce. NP - glad it's working for you. [04:11] i just wanted it so i can load up ubuntu server on it and learn without hosing my main server [04:13] virtualbox would probably have been easier :P [04:13] I should have asked that to start [04:16] hi [04:17] how to do scp many files at the same time, like: scp [foo, bar, *.mp3] user@host:~ ? [04:17] what is the correct syntax ? [04:19] maxagaz: scp {foo,bar,*mp3} [04:19] iirs - that will work if you're using bash [04:20] MTecknology, thanks! [04:20] np - hope I [04:20] 'm right [04:21] MTecknology, what about: scp foo bar *.mp3 user@host:~ ? [04:22] maxagaz, or you could shell in with gftp [04:49] I want to use a cron job to send updates to another server with http every 1 minutes [04:50] if the other server is not reachable or slow, is it possible that another job will start before the old one ends? [04:50] do I need to lock the file the job reading the data need to be send? [04:57] benc1: a timeout would be a better solution [04:57] benc1: but ya, it's possible to launch it multiple times [05:00] MTecknology: how do I make sure the file size won't increase all the time? [05:00] MTecknology: can a job running every minute can hurt the server performance or is it negligible? [05:01] Depends on the job. [05:01] The act of cron triggering something won't have a significant impact. [05:02] my cron will read data from a text file and send it using http (python?) [05:02] benc1: what kind of data are you trying ot send? [05:03] MTecknology: I run a social network that needs to sync friendships and profile changes with another server [05:04] benc1: It sounds like you might be better off trying to use something like sshfs [05:04] !sshfs [05:04] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS [05:04] benc1: then the data just shows up over there [05:05] benc1: you could look into also using SQL synchornization across two servers [05:05] looks interesting but I don't think it is usefull in my case [05:05] just ideas.. [05:05] I'm actually providing a service to social networks [05:05] oh [05:05] so I want to keep it easy as possible [05:05] http is great because the user doesn't have to open his server for me [05:06] and we can always use ssl if we want security [05:06] I don't expect large amounts of data but I don't want the social network to crawl if there is a problem with my server (the service) [05:09] BLISS -> /ignore -channels #freenode * [05:09] :) [05:10] benc1: If there's timestamps in the file... I'd say send it whole each time and let them deal with any overlap [05:10] benc1: then like you said; just send it; if it fails you try again in 1min [05:10] ok, thanks [05:30] benc1, if timeouts become an issue, change it to every two or three minutes instead [05:32] maybe instead of a cron job, the remote server can send an http request to the social network server [05:32] the social network can keep the data in a db === Guest25225 is now known as Adri2000 === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoax === Adri2000 is now known as Guest438 === Guest438 is now known as Adri2000 === Adri2000 is now known as Guest14290 === Guest14290 is now known as Adri2000 === Adri2000 is now known as Adri2000` [06:07] New bug: #496840 in samba (main) "Failure to set permissions on Samba share via CIFS" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/496840 [06:10] can someone point me to a beginners guide to UEC and creation of guest instances?

I know all dead symlinks that we make can be delleted [11:30] a_ok: you may want to limit it to certain paths then; /usr/local/ is meant for non-managed things usually [11:31] yeah this was in /usr/share/locale [11:31] udev makes by far the largest amount of dead links [11:34] jiboumans: generally I hate dead symlinks and want to get rid of them but if they mess up my system that is worse of course. We customized this server a great deal most crap is comming from Ubuntu's default setup though [11:39] People who come into support channels and call the subject matter "crap" or whatever never cease to amaze me.

[11:46] jiboumans: its from coreutils [11:46] coreutils: /usr/share/locale/af/LC_TIME/coreutils.mo [11:47] so throwing it away will cause the package to be incomplete [11:47] jiboumans: ah i see [11:48] a_ok: it seems to me that you have 2 sets of symlinks (regardless if they're useful or not): those added by packages and those added by some running code/users/etc [11:48] dpkg -S should at least least let you distinguish that. if they're symlink from ubuntu packages that look unneeded, a low prio bug report may be in order against them [11:50] jiboumans: all right will do that thanks again I think I can work something out now [11:50] a_ok: no problem at all. good luck [11:53] soren: is crap a bad word to use in general btw?

[21:49] which server version are you using, first? [21:50] 9.10 64bit [21:50] argh [21:50] no wonder you are having issues [21:50] !lts [21:50] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04).

[21:51] X-M4-X apt-get remove mysql [21:51] Thank you [21:51] sudo apt-get remove mysql-server [21:51] Doonz did you put /home/ on its own partition? [21:52] bogeyd6: no. my home directory resides on the main partition [21:52] !#$!@ [21:52] i have a raid card with 2xs raid 5 arrays that are binded to directories within my home directory [21:53] ok well rule #1 is always set away your /home/ and your /var partitions so if you need to change or reinstall you dont lose that stuff [21:53] i could lose home and not cry [21:53] same with var [21:53] but i have no monitor or keyboard hooked up to this server so installing was a pita [21:54] well if you are comfortable with all that you need to go to LTS for the server [21:54] bogeyd6: is there a way to do it through my current shell? [21:54] dunno, but i do recall suse has a VNC setup so I would assume ubuntu does to [21:54] dont have a gui installed on this thing [21:56] New bug: #497171 in ec2-api-tools (multiverse) "update ec2-api-tools to api version 2009-11-30 (1.3-46266)" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/497171 [21:57] Doonz i dont know how to downgrade from the cli [22:00] New bug: #439366 in euca2ools "euca-describe-images does not show kernel and ramdisk for an image" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/439366 === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [22:08] New bug: #494822 in mysql-dfsg-5.0 (universe) "package mysql-server-5.0 5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/494822 [22:10] good night all [22:23] ok this mysql is pissing me off [22:23] is there a way to downgrade through the cli from 9.10 to 8.04? [22:28] Doonz: No. [22:28] really [22:28] Or rather not one that's not way harder than reinstalling. [22:28] there one Im a idiot patch availible? [22:29] lol i wish there was for mysql, i configured and configured yet it just wont work [22:29] X-M4-X what exactly is the problem [22:30] Doonz you could try the XEN route [22:30] !xen | Doonz [22:30] Doonz: XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation.

You're not using a password. [22:31] X-M4-X: "mysql -u root -p" [22:31] X-M4-X you need to set the -p option [22:32] Doonz: Or wait 4 months and upgrade to one. [22:32] hm [22:32] soren i was helping him fix his vmware server 2 problem, and the only way he is gonna get it working right is to switch to LTS and install it. So he is looking for a downgrade option, which there isnt, or another vm server [22:32] When i do the -p option and enter the password it gives me error just no is yes, even when i hit enter it says error again [22:33] X-M4-X: Wrong password, then. [22:34] where the heck is the config file with the password than because ive tried every password i have ever used [22:34] i bet i have not even set one that would be funny [22:35] X-M4-X did you ever run mysql_secure_installation [22:36] ok i think we hit some light here [22:36] i run - errors all up and down [22:37] X-M4-X you are too all over the map, slow the sh*t down and go step by step with us [22:38] ok i ran it got errors untill i finally got the root password from my xampp installation (old one) [22:39] Is there a graphical tool for managing KVM Instances?

[23:53] resno: raid and also external and offline backup [23:53] this will be a house server. is raid the most cost effective method? [23:54] RAID is more about fault tolerance and less about backup/disaster recovery [23:54] yeah, but it protects from hard disk failure, not virus etc [23:54] it's a good thing to have, however [23:54] for a home server? i wouldn't get a fancy RAID card or anything but software RAID, maybe [23:54] hard drives are relatively low-cost these days [23:55] yes, a simple raid that now can be done by almost all motherboards will be fine === robbiew is now known as robbiew-afk === robbiew-afk is now known as robbiew_ [23:57] This is sorta weird question.
