[04:11] <qman__> anybody here use apcupsd? I have it connected and apparently working, since it detects the model correctly, but it's not showing battery status messages of any kind
[04:13] <PC_Nerd101> Hi - I'm setting up apt-cacher and thei bug reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-cacher/+bug/423340 says that the status has been changed to Fix Released - however eth version in the karmic repositories is still 1.6.8 instead of 1.6.9 which is the version in the debian repositories which is the fix....    Does anyone know when this fix will be pushed through the package repository?
[04:37] <Psi-Jack> Does anyone here do anything like keepalived, heartbeat, pacemaker, for routers with failover to backup router?
[04:42] <klear> Hello everyone, I'm having problems SFTP'ing into my server -- Filezilla says "Fatal: unable to initialise SFTP on server: could not connect" -- Can someone help me troubleshoot this?
[04:44] <qman__> brilliant -- "Terminating due to configuration file errors."
[04:44] <qman__> yet it provides no functionality for me to find out what the problem is
[04:44] <klear> I was trying to setup chroot with RSSH and then with SCPONLY and now SFTP is dead
[04:45] <Psi-Jack> Guessing nobody presently here knows much about clustering routers, eh?
[04:45] <qman__> no, sorry
[04:45] <qman__> currently wrestling with apcupsd
[04:46] <Psi-Jack> heh
[04:46] <Psi-Jack> I've been trying various methods of router clustering and it's painful.
[04:46] <Psi-Jack> heartbeat is the easiest of all, but also ANNOYINGLY deprecated.
[04:47] <qman__> I know about the theory and methods, but no practical application
[04:47] <Psi-Jack> keepalived is working, but it's causing elections every second, or whatever my advertising interval is set to.
[04:47] <qman__> learned from cisco stuff
[04:47] <Psi-Jack> Yeah.
[04:47] <Psi-Jack> I'm, just finding it very wierd that I'm doing it with keepalived with both routers holding onto my external IP address simaltaneously, and keepalived just pops the internal routing IP on the active node.
[04:49] <Psi-Jack> heh, and it's not causing a conflict.
[04:56] <qman__> I guess I'll just let the thing charge up before I mess with it any more
[04:56] <qman__> I just replaced the battery and got a cable for it at the same time, previously it was just doing its own thing
[04:59] <qman__> I have full connectivity, I'm just not getting any information about the battery
[04:59] <qman__> everything is NA or 0
[09:14] <subanomic> hi
[09:14] <subanomic> can someone convince me to use Ubuntu on my server rather than Debian?
[09:16] <jurisz> where can I get fair comparision of virtualisation software for servers? tnx
[09:50] <cemc> hi. I have an ubuntu hardy server install, and I'm getting this in the mail http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/346371/. how can I get rid of it ?
[09:58] <Thugal> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/223502
[10:21] <subanomic> how big should my /var partition be on a debian server (running a webserver, mail server, ftp server)
[10:21] <subanomic> oh, meant ubuntu server, sorry
[10:35] <hjmf> subanomic: it depends on how much data are you expecting to store in it
[10:36] <hjmf> subanomic: if it doesn't need to have much user data you can place 30GB to / maybe some to /tmp and all the rest to /var
[10:36] <subanomic> kk
[10:37] <hjmf> subanomic: consider to configure your partitions in LVM, hence you can add disks and resize at pleasure
[10:38] <hjmf> subanomic: also use at least a raid1 if the data in /var is critical
[10:38] <hjmf> htht
[10:38] <hjmf> hth
[10:53] <Aison> hello ;)
[10:54] <Aison> i've got a dhcp device on my router (running ubuntu server). how can I avoid that dhcpclient overrides my default route and resolv.conf entries?
[11:37] <qman__> Aison, I'm not sure if/how to stop it, but I have worked around it by adding a script in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/
[11:37] <qman__> that changes settings after each renewal
[11:57] <Aison> kk
[13:02] <Aison> qman__, I guess I found a nicer solution ;)
[19:04] <subanomic1> i there
