=== MianoSM1 is now known as mianosm [00:31] Would anyone happen to know of a decent Subversion web management tool? I looked, tried some solutions that i couldn't get working... anything anyone can recommend? [00:34] davrian: The two straightforward (already packaged for Ubuntu) choices would be viewvc and websvn [00:35] brilliant, i will look into that, thanks! [00:36] No problem. [00:39] jmarsden: Would I be right in saying that WebSVN is probably the better option... [00:40] I'm not really sure. I'd guess I've seen more viewvc installations "out there" on the web, but I'm not really sure which one is "better". They are free... try both? :) [00:41] okay, cool! thanks for your help :) [00:41] You're welcome. [02:42] Hi! I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 Server, and realised that this time the installed didn't set up postfix for me, last time it asked a lot of questions like mydestination setting etc. I wonder, why didn't it do that this time I installed? [02:42] s/installed/installer/ === astechgeek is now known as techgeek [02:43] (last install was just a few hours ago, and the only difference was that I had mistakenly set a numeric host name, which it didn't like) [02:44] base install doesn't install an MTA unless you tell it to [02:44] OTOH, apt-get install postfix will get you postfix... [02:46] lamont: it installed postfix alright, I did check "Mail server", but it didn't ask me those questions [02:46] I'm just curious why it didn't [02:48] dpkg-reconfigure postfix ? [02:48] probably related to debconf priority [02:49] debconf priority.. === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [02:49] there [02:49] dpkg-reconfigure postfix works great :) [02:49] thank you === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === Thugal_ is now known as Thugal [05:38] hey i have a netra T1125 made by Sun, and I'm looking to turn it to a server to host a gameserver from my computer. [05:41] the machine doesn't have a monitor hook-up, so i don't know how to see what i'm doing. xD [05:55] Sativa, I'm not at all familiar with the hardware, other than through a quick web search, but I'm guessing it must have some sort of remote interface? Possibly even just a simple terminal over one of the serial ports? === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [06:13] Can anyone help me figure out why my VLAN interface is no longer receiving traffic? Only change is a new motherboard. The network driver apparently switched from "sky2" to "r8169". [06:16] ziesemer: It's a guess, but perhaps the vlan interface config file(s) have a MAC address in them, or a driver name, and both of those have changed. Can you just delete the vlan interface and recreate it on your new hardware? [06:21] Where would I find these config files? As far as I'm aware, the VLAN is more or less just created dynamically through /etc/network/interfaces . [06:22] I was thinking something along those lines, though, and allowed the physical interface to move back to the new eth1, so my VLAN is also eth1.5 instead of eth0.5. Still have the same issue. ifconfig eth1.5 shows 0 packets / bytes received, but does show the traffic being sent. [06:26] I'm not sure... if the vlan stuff depends on the NIC being able to deal with tagged frames, then you should perhaps also check that the new r8169 NIC can handle that. I'm not sure of the current trends, but a couple of years back there were some NICs which could do the tagging and some which could not. [06:26] 802.1q , or something like that? [06:28] That is what I'm afraid of. It's a Mini ITX system, and other than resorting to USB for a 2nd network interface, I really need the VLAN support to work with my network switch and act as a router. [06:28] Honestly, I'm trying to find more details about the network driver. The "sky2" and "r8169" I found were only as comments in the 70-persistent-net.rules udev file. [06:30] Searching for "r8169 vlan" online doesn't yield any specific successes or warnings in terms of vlan. But I'm suprirsed that vconfig doesn't give any errors or warnings, and that the vlan adapter is successful in transmitting, just not receiving. [06:31] Agreed. r8169 is the Realtek gigabit driver... I think it supports a range of R81xx chips. Doing sudo lshw -c net # could get you more details on the hardware you actually have. [06:35] It's a "RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller". Should I be seeing anything about VLAN in the listed capabilities? [06:37] I did just find http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28371 , but the symptoms are a bit different. There, at least, the driver is reporting dropped RX packets. I've also tried lowering the interface MTU, but I wouldn't think that would be an issue with ping packets. [06:37] I'm not sure; that sounds like reasonably modern hardware, so it really "should" have the vlan tagging capabilty, but I don't know how/whether that capability is announced to the world. [06:37] And yes, by default ping packets are small. [06:38] It's a brand new Intel motherboard. Not just Intel-based, Intel-branded. I'm rather surprised it didn't just have an Intel network chip on it as well. [06:50] Should I file a bug report on this? [06:51] You could; it's not clear at this point if it is just a config issue of some sort or a "real" bug, but it can't hurt. [06:52] You could also try setting things up so the other system on the VLAN was a machine on which you could run something like wireshark to "see" the packets at that end, so you know for sure the echo reply packets really are going out destined for that vlan interface. Probably a pain to set up, but it might tell you something more about what is happening. [06:53] I can do that. The low tech approach I've already used is that the LED light blinks on the port of this box when it is pinged from another machine on the VLAN, but the box never "sees" the packet. [06:54] OK. I should go to bed... sorry I can't be more help :) [06:54] Also going to try booting from a Live CD, and see if that helps at all. A bit of a pain, with an older kernel, etc., that will be in use. Attempting a re-install might be better, but that's a lot of work... [06:54] np, thanks for your feedback! [07:01] How can I find the version and/or other details of the r8169 driver currently in use? [07:02] <_ruben> ziesemer: do you see traffic when monitoring the actual interface (not the vlan)? [07:03] _ruben, what would be the best way to check? Run Wireshark or tcpdump on eth1? [07:04] Interesting. tcpdump shows "vlan 5, p 0", with ARP requests. So eth1 is surely receiving the vlan traffic. [07:05] <_ruben> indeed [07:05] <_ruben> so if the vlan interface doesnt see the same traffic, you think the problem is in the vlan part, not the driver [07:06] Ran tcpdump against the vlan, and don't see any traffic. This agreed with the statistics shown on ifconfig. [07:07] The other interesting find: I just downloaded the r8169 Linux driver available straight from Realtek. The "DCONFIG_R8169_VLAN" compile flag is disabled in the default makefile. [07:07] So I'm thinking I'll try recompiling that with the flag enabled, and use it as my new driver to see if that helps. But I'd like to find the details of what I currently have in this aspect... [07:16] Of course it can't be that easy. Errors compiling... [07:27] It seems I need to have the linux-source packages. I'm offline, due to the network issue, so I can't just use apt-get. Apparently, I'm slightly out-of-date with the kernel, at 2.6.31-15, where http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/linux-source is showing 2.6.31-16. Where can I find the -15 to download? [07:29] ziesemer: Look on Launchpad. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source [07:30] ScottK: "Error: Page not found". And browsing http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/ , I don't see any -15 package... [07:31] I'm assuming I need the -14 or -16 package instead? [07:33] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/linux/2.6.31-15.50 [07:33] Excellent, thanks! [07:34] Err, no *.deb files? [07:35] There are links [07:36] Ahh, builds. [07:38] ? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.31-15.50/+build/1339885 has no linux-source-* . [07:38] Sorry, I've really not had to do this offline before... [07:38] Now you need me to understand how they build the kernel and I really don't. [07:39] I just used the low-tech approach. :-) Ran Synaptic, and told it to install. Now I have an error dialog showing the file download location: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/... [07:41] And it's not there, either. Ugh... [07:42] It's as if -15 never existed. [07:43] <_ruben> -16 is probably a security update, which 'kills' -15 on the mirrors .. atleast, that's what i've been keep telling myself :p [07:43] <_ruben> and you most likely dont need the full source, just the headers will do most of the time [07:43] Finally. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.31-15.50/+build/1339887 . [07:44] I had the headers, and had the compile errors. Driver readme has requirements of "kernel source tree", so I'll give it a try... [07:53] <_ruben> ah [07:54] All that, and it still doesn't compile. A lot of "'struct net_device' has no member named '...'".

Seems related to this: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/27566/ [08:33] Seems that the r8168 driver may have better overall support. May have to give that a try... [08:43] <_ruben> ziesemer: are you sure that option isnt enabled by default btw? i dont have any karmic boxes handy i think, but hardy-jaunty have it enabled [08:43] Which "option"? [08:46] <_ruben> CONFIG_R8169_VLAN .. oh .. you refered to the default of the source provided by realtek, not the actual ubuntu kernels [08:47] Right. Finding the details of what is used in the actual Ubuntu kernels is something else I was trying to do, though... [08:47] The best I came up with so far was running "strings" against the r8169 .ko file. [08:48] <_ruben> check /boot/config* :) [08:50] I didn't know about that. Very handy - thanks! Yes, CONFIG_R8169_VLAN=y . [08:50] But it still is certainly not without issue, and I'm guessing due to it being an "older" driver. [08:50] But now I'm finding that maybe r8168 is a better match to my hardware anyway... [08:54] Ugh. Got r8168 to compile. Again, seems to be a better match for my hardware anyway. But still no progress with the VLAN. [09:37] is there a default ubuntu setup for mail server with mysql for several domains ?
