[00:22] <orudie> in debian with postfix/dovecot when connected with thunderbird it keeps telling me to confirm the certificate, and is very annoying, is there a way to make the confirmations stop, or perhaps not use mail certificate
[00:34] <lionel> orudie, which version of Thunderbird are you using?
[00:34] <lionel> I have heard of such problems with TB 3
[00:35] <orudie> lionel, 2.x
[00:36] <lionel> orudie, accepting the certificate should do the job
[00:36] <orudie> i accepted
[00:37] <orudie> it keeps popping up
[01:30] <MTecknology> Could one of you please dig hom-pro.com for me and tell me what the A record is?
[01:42] <deizel> MTecknology: hom-pro.com.		86400	IN	A	208.107.60.226
[01:44] <deizel> MTecknology: same result from three isps
[01:54] <MTecknology> deizel: thanks; I guess my ISP just sucks
[01:55] <deizel> MTecknology: np, just stick an entry in your host file until it resolves
[01:58] <MTecknology> deizel: what sucks is that I'm on the same ISP as the customer :P
[01:59] <deizel> MTecknology: hehe :p

[07:06] <drcode> hi all
[07:07] <drcode> can I  use linux has terminal server
[07:07] <drcode> with rdp?
[08:19] <Alpha61> hello
[08:20] <Alpha61> how do you configure apt-get to choose the fastest repository server
[08:20] <Alpha61> i know how to do it on gui on desktop distro
[08:25] <Alpha61> What is the apt-get command for making it to choose the fastest and closest repository server?
[08:25] <_ruben> there's no automated way to do so afaik
[08:26] <_ruben> i preseed the fastest repo in my installs
[08:26] <_ruben> which is on the local network ;)
[08:26] <Alpha61> Is there a website containing a list of repository servers
[08:27] <_ruben> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#mirrors
[08:28] <Alpha61> I think it's for downloading the ISO images for ubuntu installation
[08:30] <_ruben> oops, my bad, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
[08:36] <Alpha62> whoa thank you
[08:44] <Alpha62> How can I scroll up or down in command line interface?
[08:56] <Jeeves_> Anyone here knows how long it takes before my ppa-upload shows up in launchpad?
[08:56]  * Jeeves_ is a newbe on ppa'
[08:56] <martinjh99> I want to print this page - https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/httpd.html - When I do a print previewit runs off the right edge of the page is it a problem with the docs and can I do anything about it?
[09:00] <lionel> Jeeves_, it depends on buildd activity. It take from minutes to hours
[09:01] <martinjh99> I want to print this page - https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/httpd.html - When I do a print previewit runs off the right edge of the page is it a problem with the docs and can I do anything about it?
[09:04] <Jeeves_> martinjh99: Can you repeat your question please? I didn't catch it the first two times!
[09:04] <martinjh99> Sorry! My chat client closed... ;)
[09:05] <Jeeves_> But, you might want to look at the papersize defined in your printer
[09:05] <Jeeves_> No clue, otherwise
[09:05] <Jeeves_> lionel: Thanks, i'll try to be patient than :)
[09:06] <Jeeves_> lionel: Is there a statuspage somewhere?
[09:09] <zedalaye> hi
[09:10] <Jeeves_> hi
[09:11] <zedalaye> i can't install ubuntu server on a fresh new machine : i burnt the cd, booted on it, but when I reach the installater main screen, the "ENTER" key has no effect : nothing happens, no message, no error, no tip, no clue...
[09:11] <lionel> zedalaye, which version are you trying to install?
[09:12] <zedalaye> ubuntu server 9.10
[09:12] <zedalaye> x64
[09:12] <Jeeves_> USB or PS2 keyboard?
[09:12] <zedalaye> usb
[09:13] <zedalaye> the keyboard works : i can go down on the menu, enter F1/F2..., i even can "boot on primary disk"
[09:13] <zedalaye> but no installation entry works
[09:14] <zedalaye> i will try with a ps2 keyboard
[09:15] <lionel> zedalaye, that's surprising. Can you switch to console 2 once in the installer (Ctrl + Alt + F2)?
[09:15] <zedalaye> nope
[09:16] <Jeeves_> Is USB enabled in your bios?
[09:17] <martinjh99> Another question - Updated from Jaunty Server to Karmic Server using do-release-upgrade and everything seems to be fine except for my apache2 configuration.
[09:17] <martinjh99> I get a 404 on / - Not found error
[09:18] <martinjh99> Any ideas to fix it before I re-install?  Or at least a guide to which file to start with...
[09:19] <lionel> martinjh99, did you check the logs? To know which file apache is trying to display?
[09:19] <Jeeves_> martinjh99: /etc/apache2/
[09:19] <Jeeves_> martinjh99: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
[09:20] <Jeeves_> martinjh99: No need to re-install anything
[09:20] <zedalaye> Jeeves_ : that don't work with a PS/2 keyboard
[09:22] <lionel> zedalaye, it may worth to open a bug and/or join #ubuntu-installer for debugging instructions
[09:22] <lionel> zedalaye, considering the day, not a lot of people may be around
[09:23] <martinjh99> Jeeves - just tried accessing server from netbook and nothing is coming up in access.log
[09:24] <martinjh99> but there are entries in error.log saying it can't find /htdocs so I now know where to look to fix it...
[09:25] <_ruben> talk about not a lot of ppl being around .. there's about 10 ppl here at work, instead of the usual ~100 :)
[09:26] <martinjh99> Which config file would Document root be under?
[09:26] <Jeeves_> martinjh99: I guess you need to set documentroot in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
[09:26] <Jeeves_> (or so)
[09:27] <Jeeves_> /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
[09:29] <zedalaye> I may have found what happens
[09:29] <martinjh99> http://martinjh.homelinux.com/~martin/000-default - Thats the file that it is linked to
[09:29] <zedalaye> the MD5 Checksum of the downloaded ISO do not match
[09:29] <zedalaye> I will check that first
[09:30] <Jeeves_> martinjh99: DocumentRoot /var/www
[09:30] <Jeeves_> That line needs fixing
[09:30] <martinjh99> That's correct.
[09:30] <Jeeves_> What's correct?
[09:31] <martinjh99> That Document Root
[09:31] <martinjh99> That is the coorect document root
[09:31] <Jeeves_> ok, than you have no issues :)
[09:33] <martinjh99> I am getting this error when I start Apache: http://martinjh.homelinux.com/~martin/error which may have something to do with it.  Anyone got an example file I can C&P...?
[09:41] <_ruben> you want VirtualHost, not Host
[09:42] <Jeeves_> Indeed
[09:46] <martinjh99> Actually I found a forum post which has the orignal default setting file contents - cut and pasted that in and now fixing up the ServerName problem - Should be fine in a minute or two...
[09:48] <martinjh99> Fixed!! Thanks guys for the help there!
[09:51] <martinjh99> How do I get rid of this error? http://martinjh.homelinux.com/~martin/error
[11:14] <zedalaye> that was my fault : my ISO image was corrupted. I downloaded a fresh new ubuntu server image, verified the checksums before burning and now the installer.... installs like a charm.
[11:33] <beric> I'm looking for a command line to change the hostname that will also modify /etc/hosts
[11:34] <beric> and also do any other things I'm currently not aware of that has to do with hostname change
[11:40] <Jeeves_> beric: Nothing will modify /etc/hosts, except for an editor
[11:41] <Jeeves_> if you alter /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname
[11:41] <Jeeves_> and run 'hostname <full hostname>'
[11:41] <Jeeves_> you should be fine
[11:43] <xperia> hello to all. i have a question about my 1TB big usbdisk that has only one vfat partition. for some strange reason everytime i do ls on that partition i have to wait nearly 1 to 2 minutes till i get a response or a result. does anybody know if this is normal and if not how to debug this ?
[11:44] <beric> Jeeves_: thanks. I need automation of this process, It's not a matter of single server.
[11:49] <zedalaye> can I install a minimalist gnome environment over ubuntu server ?
[11:50] <xperia> zedalaye: it is possible to install gnome over ubuntu-server but if it is minimal i would not say it
[11:53] <zedalaye> gnome-core and gdm can be installed for 590Mb, "full" gnome : 1.7Gb
[11:54] <zedalaye> this is minimalist enough for a first try since xorg has to be installed too
[11:55] <xperia> yes in this case this is a good size. i have done this alleardy for about 3 years on a ubuntu server and it worked very easy..
[12:02] <_ruben> beric: then run a systemwide find and replace of the old name with the new name (simple one-liner)
[12:03] <_ruben> zedalaye: by installing gnome/X, you'll turn your -server into a -desktop, support-wise
[12:13] <Jeeves_> beric: Look into cfengine
[12:14] <beric> interesting,  thanks.
[12:17] <Jeeves_> Or puppet

[12:25] <Jeeves_> hi
[12:25] <vieuxmike> does anybody know how to mount an usb mass storage on an ubutnu-server system ?
[12:25] <vieuxmike> to automount*
[12:25] <vieuxmike> i use it as a desktop system
[12:30] <pmatulis> vieuxmike: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB
[12:33] <vieuxmike> mmmh there are the front usb devices that not work...
[12:38] <_ruben> Jeeves_: (without looking at the url) wrong compat level?
[12:39] <Jeeves_> _ruben: No, I seem to be missing a Build-Dep
[12:39] <Jeeves_> I should put that in the control-file right?
[12:39] <_ruben> yes
[12:39] <_ruben> and you'd need debhelper as a builddep indeed (possibly even a versioned dependency)
[12:46] <Jeeves_> Also, how can i build it for all ubuntu versions?
[12:46] <Jeeves_> Should I use 'all' in changelog, instead of 'karmic'?
[12:54] <_ruben> Jeeves_: afaik, you'd have to build for each version seperately :(
[12:55] <_ruben> unless the package is binary compatible on all versions, and you wont be pushing it to any archive to relies on that field
[12:57] <Jeeves_> It's only shell scripts
[14:49] <majuk> Can anyone think of a command to adjust the permissions on all subdirectories of /foo/ ?
[14:49] <majuk> Just the subdirectories, not the files within
[14:51] <Pici> majuk: find /foo/ -type d -exec chmod ### {} \;
[14:51] <Pici> Where ### is a valid chmod mask.
[14:52] <majuk> Pici, Thanks
[15:17] <joe-mac> anybody have an example of a working raid6 preseed
[18:13] <Bondi> Is they a default login for the enteprise cloud admin page?
[18:14] <Bondi> Anybody?
[18:22] <Bondi> Its dead D:
[19:09] <pting> where's the best place to place changes to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/* settings so they're executed upon boot?
[19:39] <_ruben> pting: /etc/sysctl.conf
[19:44] <rvn> does ubuntu server automagically configure and provide drivers for hardware like ubuntu desktop does, or do you have to manually analyze and install pieces like wireless networking?
[19:51] <pting> _ruben, hah, i should have known. thanks
