sabgentononly prob is the usb is now set up to boot ubuntu desktop00:00
sabgentonit did make it for server00:00
sabgentondidn't00:00
jmarsdensabgenton: Sure, boot from the ISO and see the actual line *your* ISO uses.  Are you 100% sure you are using a server ISO ?00:00
sabgentonyeah should be the same one u are using if you have the latest00:01
sabgenton9.10 server something .iso00:01
sabgentonI will use your setting from your vm00:01
sabgentonthat will be the same00:02
jmarsdenOK.  Mine is the 64bit one, see the "amd64" in its name...00:02
sabgentonoh00:04
sabgentoni was 3200:04
sabgentonubuntu-9.10-server-i386.iso00:04
sabgentonjmarsden: probly the same00:04
jmarsdenProbably, but if it doesn't work for you, you should probably check using your own CD / ISO00:05
sabgentonhmm00:06
sabgentonhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuServerFlashDriveInstaller00:06
sabgentonjmarsden: how do you call the bot in this channel00:06
sabgenton! stuff00:06
sabgentonk00:06
jmarsden!tell sabgenton about ubottu00:07
ubottusabgenton, please see my private message00:07
sabgenton! usb boot00:07
sabgenton! usb00:07
ubottuFor information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent00:07
jmarsdensabgenton: Rather than use the channel for that, just /msg ubottu and keep your talks with the bot private :)00:07
sabgenton! usb server00:07
sabgentonsorry00:08
sabgentonnot much happing here anyway :)00:08
jmarsdenTrue, but it's good to learn the "right habits" anyway...00:08
sabgentonany way that link looks got i found00:08
sabgentonmeah I was being ok00:08
sabgentonok00:09
sabgentonhow do you add to ubottu00:14
* sabgenton feels like being helpfull00:14
jmarsdensabgenton: I forget the syntax, something like  ubottu: somekeyword is a lot of text goes here describing somekeyword.00:21
jmarsdensabgenton: Might be good to update the relevant Wiki pages too, if you are documenting something that has changed or is new.00:22
sabgentonif that link i got works I just wanted to make !usb show the  link to usb boot ubuntu server00:23
sabgentonjmarsden: do you know how to change a boot line on the desktop boot loader and run it00:24
sabgentonit says press tab to change the line so I do00:24
sabgentonbut when i press enter at the end it doesn't seem to boot00:24
sabgentonit00:24
jmarsdensabgenton: Changing GRUB lines?  I forget all the editing keys... e for edit, change the line, b for boot ?00:25
sabgentonin grub you go out and press b or somting but I can't get the stylish ubuntu menu to take in perameters00:25
jmarsdenAh... let me try it in a VM here... :)00:25
sabgentonyeaah but it aint normal grub00:26
sabgentonjmarsden: this is an ubuntu deskop cd i think00:26
sabgentonnot server boot menu00:26
sabgentonwell not that i've seen it00:26
sabgentonit might be the same00:27
jmarsdenOK.  I was going to say, my server VM doesn't present me with a menu... let me try a desktop VM instead...00:27
sabgentonthx :D00:27
sabgentonmine says "Press ENTER to boot or TAB to edit a menu entry"00:28
sabgentonI press tab make an edit00:28
sabgentonpress enter00:28
sabgentonbut then it doesn't boot00:28
sabgentonand i go back and the boot enter is back to the default00:29
jmarsdenAre we talking about when you boot from the CD, or when you boot from an installed Ubuntu setup ?00:29
sabgentonjmarsden: cd00:38
sabgentonI think its the desktop cd00:38
sabgentonboot  menu00:38
jmarsdenBooting from a desktop CD, I can press Enter to select English, then F6 and escape, then edit the parameters and press enter...00:38
sabgentonif you got and edit the params again does it change back?00:39
jmarsdenPressing enter in that edited command line boots for me...00:39

osmosis_When Lucid Lynx LTS comes out, will I be able to upgrade right from Hardy Heron LTS, or will I have to go to Intrepid, Jaunty, Karmic, and then Lucid??02:21
pmatulisosmosis_: lts-to-lts is a valid upgrade path02:22
Styleehello, I am experimenting with a home based web server. I have registered a domain name. But I am a bit confused with name server. Right now I set it up through zoneedit.com which redirects on my IP. What should I look up for having this name server on my server?02:22
j416Stylee: chances are you won't be needing a local DNS. If you do, try googling "bind".02:23
jmarsdenStylee: You don't *want* to run a nameserver on your server, unless you actually understand what you are doing... just let zonedit or whoever run DNS for your domain.02:24
osmosis_pmatulis, ahhh...it is?!  Great!02:25
Styleej416: thanks I will try jmarsden: well the domain registrar is another company, and I would prefer not to go through zoneedit02:27
jmarsdenThen you have some learning to do.  Start with the Ubuntu Server Guide chapter on DNS: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/dns.html02:27
j416Stylee: also, I would recommend you read about how DNS works - you will realise that you may not need your own name server.02:28
Styleewell it is more like a hobby for me, so some learning doesn't hurt :)02:29
Styleej416: but the domain registrar wants at least 2 name server addresses... well I will look it up02:30
Styleethanks02:30
jmarsdenStylee: You're welcome, and yes, you need 2 DNS servers for a domain.  If you really really need to do this yourself, you can run a primary on your own server and find a free secondary for the other one, with a little work.02:31
j416Stylee: usually, either your registrar or your isp will have a DNS service02:31
j416I use one provided for free by my registrar.02:31
StyleeI see, and then this sends traffic to your IP?02:32
jmarsdenStylee: Where it sends traffic depends on the DNS info configured in the DNS servers, yes.02:33

arbirhello03:46
arbiris ubuntu server production ready ? is it being used by many organizations ?03:47
ScottKYes03:51
arbirScottK: i keep reading that Ubuntu locks the version.. what does this mean ?03:52
ScottKIt means the once we release we don't update that release except in very unusual circumstances.03:52
ScottKThe idea is to keep things stable once releases are done and only fix severe or security bugs.03:53
arbirso if php 5.2 is installed and its stable, then php 5.3 wont be installed , even if its stable ?03:53
arbiram i getting it right ?03:54
arbirScottK: :-) are you there ?03:57
arbiranybody here ?04:13
arbirScottK: are you around ?04:14
arbirhi CutMeOwnThroat04:18
arbirgood to see you here :-)04:18
CutMeOwnThroatjust checking if it exists and has people in it04:19
arbirhahah hardly04:20
tos_hi i have set up a virtual server under ubunti9.10-  running 9.10.. and opened SSH, how can i set the host os to forward SSH requests to the virtual BOX....?04:21
ScottKarbir: Yes.04:34
arbirScottK: hi .. i have been trying to read up on the lock version ..04:34
arbirScottK: so, if a package is in stable version , then it wont upgrade to the next stable version ?04:34
ScottKarbir: Yes, except for specific fixes for severe bugs or security issues.04:35
arbirScottK: otherwise, is it the same debian packages  ? or ubuntu repackages its down stuff ?04:36
arbirScottK: i remember installing mysql on debian . it prompted me for a mysql root password. does ubuntu do similar things ?04:36
ScottKarbir: We generally try to keep things in line with Debian except where we have good reason to deviate.  IIRC yes.04:37
arbirScottK: so, then what am i looking at essentially if i chose one over the other ? just version numbers ? or kernel compiles etc ?04:38
ScottKIt depends on what you are interested in.  Ubuntu has invested in a number of things that Debian hasn't.  For instance there are quite a number of hardening features that are pretty fully deployed in Ubuntu that Debian is just consider.04:39
ScottKUbuntu has done a lot with making 'cloud' computing easier to use.  Other stuff too.04:40
arbirScottK: hardening features like ?04:40
ScottKLet me see if I can find the page ....04:40
arbirScottK: i have been read about the kernel.. and its pretty impressive04:40
arbirso ScottK, here is the question. when you pick a LTS version, then how are the packages upgraded if they are locked down ?04:41
ScottKGenerally they aren't.  The point of LTS is to be stable.  There is also backports for specific packages, but those don't get the same kind of support that the regular release does.04:42
arbirScottK: but in 2 years, php can jump more than 2 versions.. what happens then ?04:43
arbirScottK: apache can jump 2 versions... i am just curious.. how ubuntu manages those.04:43
ScottKYou can stick with the older version or move to a newer release.04:43
arbirScottK: so, you mean, that, I can just do a dist-upgrade and move to the next set of packages.04:44
ScottKEssentially04:44
arbiraaah i see :-).. this is very interesting...04:44
arbirso if its a security patch for php or apache, then those are made available eh ?04:44
ScottKYes04:45
ScottKHardy was released with: php5 | 5.2.4-2ubuntu5 |         hardy04:45
ScottKCurrently it has php5 | 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.9 | hardy-updates04:45
ScottKSo it's been updated 9 times since Hardy (8.04) was released.04:46
arbirall those were for some security patches ?04:46
arbirhmm.. so, in essence, debian is more like a rolling release model.04:47
keesarbir: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features04:51
arbiralright keex04:51
kees(that's the page that takes about a lot of the hardening bits)04:51
arbirkees: in terms of the package version numbers, how different is ubuntu from debian ? or we follow similar cycle ?04:54
keesarbir: during development, we keep up with Debian.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule04:54
arbirkees: hmm let me see that . .thanks04:55
keesbasically ubuntu's versions are debian's for as long as possible, but maybe with some ubuntu tweaks, etc, which we send upstream for Debian to include in the next version of the package, etc04:55
arbirkees: oh, so , i am not looking at anything much different in terms of package versions :-).04:58
keesarbir: usually true, yes.  sometimes things a different, but it's on a case-by-case basis.  versions of things that aren't in Debian will have a NNN-0ubuntu... number (the -0 part meaning "not yet in Debian" as Debian's version would start at -1)04:59
arbirkees: by the looks of it, ubuntu is always a notch ahead in terms of version numbers :-)05:00
arbirkees: one huge factor for me to decide is, how stable are the dist-upgrades ? desktop, i can fix in 2 days, but server down for 2 days will kill me05:01
keesif it carries ubuntu modifications, yes.  it also depends on when you look.  after debianImportFreeze, Ubuntu will start to diverge05:01
* kees is unclear on the question05:01
keesreleased versions of Ubuntu never change package versions except for security and grave bug fixes.05:01
keesdist-upgrade is always stable.05:01
arbirkees: suppose, i am on a release which is not going to be supported anymore05:04
arbirkees: so if i am upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10, its a small jump.05:04
arbirbut if i decide to jump from 9.04 to 10.1005:04
keesyou need to always use update-manager.05:04
arbiror 10.405:04
keesmoving between releases is not supported by apt or aptitude.05:05
arbirkees: aah i see :-).. great!  is update-manager a gui ?05:05
arbiror can it be run from console ?05:05
keessee http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading05:05
keesnon-gui is called "do-release-upgrade"05:05
arbiryes, i see it :-). its fantastic05:06
keescool  :)05:06
arbirkees: :-), its been very hard for me to decide between debian or ubuntu server for my platform.. but this conversation is opening up so many dark corners05:06
arbiri am glad, i am speaking to you05:07
keesI am biased, but the security hardening in Ubuntu is a clear win.05:07
arbirkees:  say you install mysql on ubuntu-server... now, does it prompt you to enter the root password for mysql ? or it sets it to blank by default ?05:07
arbirkees: listening to biased opinions is what gives a strong picture05:08
keesiirc, the mysql package by default will prompt on a freshly installed system.05:08
arbirif i listen to two extremes, then i understand...05:08
keeswe would consider it a bug if it left it blank.05:08
arbirkees: wow, so, i can see, that ubuntu's packaging system is mostly like debian's...05:08
arbirkees: not just the apt, but the way the config files are handled..... etc etc.05:09
keesarbir: yes, except where things are changed, Ubuntu is Debian.05:09
keesthat said, a lot of things are changed.  ;)05:09
arbirkees: wonderful..... changes show evolution .05:10
arbirkees: so tell me, why would people stick to debian and call it still very secure ?05:10
arbirkees: is it cause, security patches are released first for debian ? and then migrated to ubuntu ?05:10
keesDebian and Ubuntu have separate security teams.  If a package is in "main" it gets direct attention by the team.  if it's in "universe", Ubuntu will attempt to sync from Debian, take patches from the community, etc.05:11
keesgenerally, high-profile stuff (usually in main) is addressed quickly by all distros.05:12
arbirkees: great! its hard to find such crisp answers in any faq... on either of the websites05:12
keesand for Ubuntu, with the hardening features, it's usually less urgent to get a fix published.05:12
keesprobably the weakest area for both Ubuntu and Debian are web apps, especially PHP.05:13
arbirkees: i am very impressesd....05:13
arbirwhy are they weak ?05:13
keesit's not easy to harden those -- PHP is a mess as a language and most PHP applications are not defensively written.05:13
keesthat said, I use AppArmor to confine all my virtual hosts, so they can't overflow into other areas of my system.05:14
keesthat's a feature no in Debian too05:14
keesbut that requires some configuration like anything else.05:14
arbiraah i see. :-)05:14
arbirkees: so what do you use ? python? ruby ?05:15
arbirkees: or Mono :-)05:15
keesthe virtual hosts I isolate are all PHP.  python's django is a better framework, IMHO.05:15
MTecknologyarbir: you don't get any better security answers from one of the #1 security guys in Ubuntu :)05:16
keesI don't use ruby or mono on my system, but I'm sure you could find people here that do.05:16
arbiri keep wondering, how facebook runs well built on php05:16
keesMTecknology: heh.  I do worry about my bias, though.  :P05:16
arbirMTecknology: he is a very modest person. :-)05:16
MTecknologyya05:16
MTecknologyiirc; twitter was built on ruby..05:17
arbirMTecknology: i have spent all day, trying to compare up debian and ubuntu for a server deployment05:17
keesarbir: dunno about facebook -- probably written carefully from the ground up.  is it really php?05:17
arbirkees: yes, thats, what i see and read on slashdot.05:17
arbirkees: is not the suhosin patch good enough >05:17
MTecknologyI think php is extremely scalable if you're a 'good' programmer - ie. not many loops when they're not needed05:18
keesarbir: well, if it helps, Debian (and Ubuntu) use the suhosin patch05:18
keesMTecknology: yeah, it's a very powerful language; it just has a tendency to get misused.  ;)05:18
arbirkees: i need to run two servers.. i have freebsd for one... and now i think its going to be ubuntu05:19
arbirkees: its the C of the web ? :-D05:19
keesarbir: indeed.  :P05:19
arbirkees: not to say, that debian is wonderful byitself too!05:19
keeswell, if facebook is php, they disabled the easter egg.  I still want to do that in Ubuntu...05:19
keesadding ?=PHPE9568F34-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 to any PHP application will show a jpg.05:19
arbirkees: let me check that05:20
MTecknologyarbir: I think both Debian and Ubuntu are excellent server systems but.... the community is what consistently pushes me away from Debian05:20
arbirMTecknology: whats up with the community ?05:21
MTecknologyarbir: I'd rather not give you more bias; but go into #ubuntu and ask a debian question vs. go into #debian and ask an ubuntu question05:22
MTecknologykees: that doesn't happen on my site that's all php..05:22
MTecknologyhttp://www.profarius.com/content/home?=PHPE9568F34-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF4205:23
arbirits not happening on my free hosting site as well...05:25
arbirMTecknology: http://www.srimadbhagavadgita.co.cc/?=PHPE9568F34-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF4205:25
MTecknologythat sounded exciting though05:25
arbirMTecknology: what did sound exciting ?05:25
MTecknologythe easter egg05:25
arbirMTecknology: hhahahah05:25
arbirstill 4 months to go :--). i cannot wait for summer to get out of this freezing hell05:26
arbirits still -20 here05:27
MTecknologykees: make it work? I wanna see it05:27
arbirMTecknology: i could not make it work on the facebook website05:27
arbirMTecknology: it did work on my debian box though.. which i am about to uninstall and put on ubuntu server05:27
arbirMTecknology: u talk about community... i had a bad experience at the #httpd channel.05:30
arbirMTecknology: it seems admins dont like people asking them difficult questions, or beating them at an argument05:30
arbirMTecknology: though i must be truthful here. I dont use Ubuntu for desktops at all...05:31
MTecknologydepends who you're talking to in there05:31
MTecknologythe apache devs enjoy it05:31
MTecknology!irc05:33
ubottuA list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines05:33
arbirMTecknology: i was pulled into an argument, and when i backed out, i got kicked05:33
arbirMTecknology: what do you use for desktop ?05:33
MTecknologyheh... That would tick me off05:33
MTecknologyUbuntu for everything. I use gentoo sometimes. I'm going to try OpenSolaris and Gentoo in a vm. I want to see if I can install Gentoo without any guide05:34
arbirMTecknology: i was on ubuntu desktop... and now for the past 2 yrs i am on arch desktop.05:35
MTecknologyThen I'll probably tyr LFS in a vm05:35
arbirMTecknology: and seriously, i found, that updating a ubuntu desktop took me for ever....05:36
MTecknologyreally?05:36
arbirMTecknology: even now, when i tried out a version of ubuntu desktop, the notification, that shows up is non-movable..05:36
arbirMTecknology: i like my task bar at the bottom.. but the notification keeps popping up in the top :-). i have not yet found a way to move that, or disable that05:36
arbirsomebody told me, i the ubuntu room, that, its not possible to change that05:37
arbiri found that answer weird, cause, the team is super smart with ubuntu, but i could never find a way out of that05:37
keesMTecknology: ok: http://www.profarius.com/?=PHPE9568F34-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF4205:38
arbirMTecknology: and similarly.. i did not like that, i needed to install evolution . i dont use it... :-). is there a way to get rid of that ?05:38
MTecknologyI use Ubuntu on my laptop. I installed the CLI version from the Alternate CD. Then trimmed a lot of packages, removed more, then installed just what I want, then removed packages I don't absolutely need.. Then customized the crap out of it. Then did a custom trimmed down kernel05:38
arbirMTecknology: hahaha the easter egg is popping05:38
MTecknologykees: COOL!05:39
MTecknologyI like that05:39
arbirkees: can u do it at facebook too ?05:39
arbirMTecknology: its weird, that works only with a php page...05:40
arbirMTecknology: on my local box next to me.. i tried this http://192.168.5.8/php.php?=PHPE9568F34-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 it works..05:40
arbirbut without the php.php file, nothing shows up05:40
arbirMTecknology: which framework do you use for your PHP apps ?05:42
MTecknologyDrupal05:43
arbirMTecknology: thts a cms, right ? can u develop apps with it ?05:43
MTecknologyya05:43
MTecknologytechnically, it's a CMF05:44
arbirwhats a CMF ?05:45
MTecknologycontent management framework05:45
MTecknologyspeaking of communities behind what they offer; I should look into converting from irssi to weechat... If weechat can do the same thing I'm likely converting.05:46
MTecknologyarbir: as for picking a distro; if you spend time figuring out how to customize the system the way you want you can make anything as fast as something else. It tends to come down to package management and community05:48
arbirMTecknology: yes, package management and community i agree05:49
arbirMTecknology: i found the bsd comunity very very friendly05:49
arbirMTecknology: i found ubuntu people very friendly.. and debian too!05:49
arbirMTecknology: some places, u get flamed a lot.. i remember installing gentoo from the stage 1 in 2002.. i got flamed like for ever.. and when i got the system, up, i also got a lot of respect.05:50
arbirMTecknology: sometimes, reading the Man page is not as helpful... u need instant info...05:51
arbirMTecknology: so much of the info is distrubuted in the man page.. that you just go mad, trying to narrow down to what you want exactly05:51
MTecknologyI never got along with debian guys; I got a lot of great help learning to use gentoo (that's from stage 3 through)05:51
MTecknologyya05:52
MTecknologyDebian and Irssi folke to me tend to be too much "look at the man you idiot" where the man lacks the answer you need05:55
arbirwell.. i have been swept here by friendly folks.. i have really enjoyed it.05:56
arbirMTecknology: even gentoo servers are extremely fast i heard...05:57
arbirMTecknology: just that, compiling kills the life of ur machine :-)05:57
MTecknologyya...05:57
MTecknologygentoo servers are scattered everywhere in the world05:57
arbirMTecknology: and i have an old and faithful freebsd box, for all my devel needs... its really really great!05:58
arbirMTecknology: all my php apps, web2py(python apps) and ruby apps are developed here. and then i deploy them to a linux server for testing.05:58
MTecknologyI never did give freebsd a chance - I should when I have time05:59
arbirMTecknology: and now that testing env. is going to be the Ubuntu server05:59
arbirMTecknology: you will never feel sorry you tried BSD... you grow to love it..05:59
MTecknologyI use it as it's what sits underneath pfsense05:59
arbirMTecknology: frebsd is what i like. openbsd is good, but run by a dictator.. and i would instal firewalls or dns servers with openbsd.. nothing else05:59
arbirMTecknology: but i have been noticing Nexenta.... :-). its like a ubuntu with a solaris kernel.. i will try that out too sometime.. to see its performance06:00
arbirMTecknology: u seen nexenta ?06:01
MTecknologyno06:01
arbirnexenta.org06:01
arbirthe ZFS is a killer..06:01
MTecknologyya, I like their moto06:01
arbirand its just a ubuntu.. runs apt06:02
arbirgets all apps from the gnu userland06:02
MTecknologyGNU folkes irritate me..06:02
arbirjust like kffreebsd... the debian's freebsd kernel with gnu userland06:02
arbirMTecknology: hahaha.. well we all use software from the gnu userland06:02
MTecknologygreat software; but saying the OS needs to be referred to as GNU/Linux when Linux is the Kernel and GNU just has software06:03
MTecknologytrue; but that's not all we use06:03
arbirMTecknology: which web server do you use ?06:03
MTecknologyapache06:04
arbirMTecknology: you will like this http://www.nexenta.org/TAoNM/01/1.html   . its amazing cartoon to explain nexenta... very well made06:04
arbirMTecknology: u tried nginx ?06:05
MTecknologyno06:05
MTecknologyI've heard of it06:05
MTecknologyI really should try out some new software.06:06
MTecknologyI think tomorrow will be a play day for me.... gentoo w/o guide + everything you said06:07
arbirMTecknology: i still have to evaluate a few more Oses for business hosting...06:08
arbirMTecknology: some clients ask for Redhat , but will settle for CentOS06:08
arbirMTecknology: some need specific solutions,, for which, ClearOS is good out of the box.. all things are pre-configured06:09
MTecknologyI need to figure out how to figure out how much traffic each website is generating.. as in bandwidth usage. The problem is that almost every website I have is running under a couple apache configs06:10
HajuuHey guys, not sure if this is the best place to ask but I figure someone here might know06:10
HajuuI want something to find me the difference between two directories contents06:10
Hajuulike to find all the files that have been modified in two previously identical folders06:11
Hajuurecursively06:11
arbirMTecknology: nginx is a little different to start of with. but once you like it. its amazing06:11
arbirMTecknology: also keep an eye on Cherokee-project.com a superb webserver.. with a small small footprint.06:12
arbirCherokee is still not at production, i feel. i will wait for 1.0 to be out..06:12
arbirMTecknology:  nginx has been built by a russian... so its built with all those hackers and crackers in mind06:12
Hajuuanyone have any ideas?06:13
arbirHajuu: no idea my friend... sorry06:14
Hajuuno problems, thanks06:14
MTecknologyHajuu: I'm wondering if rsync could help you....06:15
HajuuI thought that was for getting stuff onto pda's and stuffs06:15
MTecknologyor from one system to another06:16
MTecknologyyup - it can help06:17
MTecknologyrsync -au --dry-run /dir1/ /dir206:17
MTecknologyYou could replace --dry-run with -n so just have -aun instead06:18
MTecknology-n, --dry-run               perform a trial run with no changes made06:18
Hajuuhmm06:19
Hajuuwhat does it actually do then06:19
MTecknologysync one directory to the other, but instead of running it'll just say what it's going to do06:20
billybigriggerman page for rsync will tell you what the -au swtiches do06:20
arbirMTecknology: what is this LVM option during my setup ?>06:21
Hajuuhmm06:21
Hajuusounds good06:21
Hajuuill check it out, thanks06:21
MTecknology!lvm06:21
ubottuTips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto06:21
MTecknologyarbir: lvm is great if you have a usse for it and umm... don't.. (thinking back a few hours) uninstall lvm2 from your system06:22
arbirMTecknology: i just started the server install. .and i am at the point of partitioning, and its asking me for LVM.06:22
arbirMTecknology: i have not clue or exp with LVM.. so i am reading about it06:23
arbirMTecknology: i see, this is like creating a ZFS pool. similar concept06:23
MTecknologyarbir: it's closer to raid; but more flexible06:24
arbirMTecknology: i see... ok let me experiment with it.. after all, i am evaluating stuff. before i settle down on a proper testing server.06:24
MTecknologyarbir: play with it in a vm06:24
arbirMTecknology: oh brother.. my desktop is full.. no space for VM.06:25
MTecknologyarbir: add say 5 drives to the vm06:25
arbirMTecknology: i have a discarded pc, its a P-4 / 2.0ghz with 512mb or RAM06:26
MTecknologythen you can experience the real power of lvm06:26
arbirMTecknology: aaah i see.. i think, thats what i will need to do sometime soon..06:26
MTecknologyraid is good for redundancy when you have mutliple drives of the same size06:26
arbirMTecknology: get a bigger HDD.06:26
arbirMTecknology: u must try out ZFS... its beyound RAID06:27
MTecknologyfor me, a bigger hd isn't feasible06:28
MTecknologyzfs is a file system06:28
MTecknologyzfs would sit on top of lvm06:29
Hajuuyeah zfs isnt beyond raid..06:29
Hajuulol06:29
Hajuulearn before you speak.06:29
Hajuu:/06:29
MTecknology!zfs06:29
ubottuFor information concerning ZFS and Ubuntu, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS06:29
HajuuYou have to try ASDLGL1, it's better than ANYTHING!06:29
arbirHajuu: u tried drobo ?06:29
MTecknology"ZFS is an open source file system"06:29
arbirHajuu: they use ZFS for their systems... its amazing and even they call it, Beyond Raid06:29
HajuuGreat. Way to fall for marketing.06:30
HajuuMarketing is where I tend to get all my information about the world.06:31
arbirMTecknology: not licensed under gpl 3 yet.06:31
MTecknologyarbir: the license doesn't matter; it's a file system06:31
Hajuuhahah06:31
Hajuuyeah06:31
Hajuujesus06:31
Hajuuquit talking like you know.06:31
arbir:-) yeah... thats for sure..06:31
Hajuuanway thanks for that MTecknology06:31
Hajuugood luck in here lol06:31
MTecknologyHajuu: did it get you the answer you needed?06:32
arbirMTecknology: i was just reading and i mentioned what i saw thre about gpl3.06:32
PrickelPitzfs in userspace via fuse, thats ugly :)06:32
PrickelPitbetter mss around with freebsd or solaris to use zfs06:32
Hajuuill be checking it out later, if not ill be back lol06:32
Hajuucheers06:32
arbirMTecknology: seems like my fingers and brain are not in sync.06:35
arbirMTecknology: i was reading it aloud in my head about the gpl3 and trovaldis's letter.06:35
arbirMTecknology: i just typed that in here.06:35
MTecknologyoh06:36
MTecknologyzfs doesn't look like anything I'm very interested in06:36
arbirMTecknology: why do you say that ?06:36
MTecknologyI prefer to have the file system do one job only; manage files on the system06:37
arbirMTecknology: as long as it keeps ur servers running .. :-006:39
arbirMTecknology: my ubuntu server is installing with LVM. i am going to play around with it.06:39
MTecknologyfor my basic usage; raid to bind drives together; lvm to bin partitions together; ext4 on top ov lvm; system on top of that06:41
MTecknologysometimes I'll feel something other than ext4; but that's what I use in general06:41
MTecknologyonce in a while I need to do software raid but I hate that06:43
tos__hi... ok, i have a virtualbox setup, running linux, the host is linux.... i want to make it so that if a user logges in to virtualserver1.myhost.com  it will connect them to their virtualbox which is using IP 192.168.122.12706:49
tos__how can i do this??06:49
tos__can bind9 control forwarding for something like this... ?06:50
tos__kind of like apache vhost06:51
PrickelPitmake a login-script that autom. opens ssh to the vbox after user logged in to the host-machine06:57
PrickelPitwhy using vbox at all? kvm should be the choice.06:58
tos__well its virtual manager or whatever06:58
tos__what is kvm06:58
MTecknologyPrickelPit: too bad that's not a choice for many :(06:58
MTecknologyI'd love to use it06:58
tos__the 1 in gnome06:58
tos__is wht im using06:58
MTecknology!kvm06:59
ubottukvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM06:59
tos__so im guessing its apt-get install kvm ?06:59
MTecknologyboth proc and bios need to support it though06:59
PrickelPiti played a long time with xen, now for 6 month using kvm and i dont wont anything else :)07:01
PrickelPit*want07:01
tos__can some1 explain real quick if its possible to have, if i have 5 public ip, and assign each ip to virtualbox... say 2 of the virtualboxes are running httpd.. on port 80.. both be able to lisen and accept connections, all behind a dsl router...? the protocol i have is G.993.207:02
jmarsdentos__: Yes, that should be possible; set each virtualbox instance to use a different static local LAN IP, on a bridged interface, and use port forwarding on the router to redirect port 80 on each of the 5 public IPs to the corresponding local LAn IPs.07:12
tos__but my router, 2wire says only 1 ip can be a server.. it makes me do DMZ mode07:13
tos__am i screwed with this isp07:13
tos__its their equipment07:13
jmarsdenYour router provides 5 public IPs but can only route/port forward one of them?07:13
tos__yep07:13
tos__gotta be a way around that07:14
tos__:/07:14
jmarsdenYou need to replace it with a router suitable for the kind of Internet connectivity you have (5 IPs).07:14
tos__its a dsl/modem router..07:14
tos__cant replace it07:14
tos__lol07:14
jmarsdenPut it into bridge mode and put a real router behind it.07:14
tos__i probably just need to call them.. that option isnt available either,..07:15
tos__thanks for the advice07:15
jmarsdenEvery DSL modem/router I have come across can be put into bridge mode, and we do a lot of those for small businesses... have you read its manual carefully?07:16
tos__yes, man its at&t theyve got this thing firmware locked down so you cant use its features07:16
tos__they kid-proofed my router07:17
tos__no bridge mode etc07:17
jmarsdenWe have at least one client in Northern CA using AT&T DSL and we got it into bridge mode...07:17
tos__maybe theyll unlock that feature for me...07:17
tos__ill ask07:17
tos__thanks07:17
jmarsdenOK.07:18
tos__yep they disabled it...07:21
tos__\-->bridge2 is NOT_PROV07:21
arbirMTecknology: are you still around ?07:46
arbirwhy is my server kinda choppy ? if i login it takes a while before i get to the prompt... when i type from a remote terminal ( within my LAN), its kinda choppy07:47
jmarsdenarbir: Sounds like it is busy doing something, or else your network is busy doing stuff... use the usual performance tools to see what is taking up your CPU/disk/network07:51
arbirjmarsden: let me check.. and now, i cannot even bind to port 80. my lighty wont start07:52
jmarsdenarbir: Why mess with that?  Ssh to the machine, sudo top, renice your top, see what is taking CPU... usual performance tools.  web servers are not performance monitoring tools.07:53
arbirjmarsden: i just found another issue now. my NIC stopped working in the middle of my ssh session.. seems like i have to restart it from my basement again :-(07:54
arbirjmarsden: man... this sucks.. my machine was perfect a while back07:55
jmarsdenarbir: Then either hardware failed, or you changed something on a perfect machine .. if it was perfect you should have left it alone!07:55
arbirjmarsden: it has another OS on it.. and i just installed a fresh ubuntu07:56
arbirjmarsden: i have to investigate now... the nic is dying after 10 mins of bootup07:56
arbirjmarsden: this has happened the second time.. first time, i thought it was some crappy update07:56
arbirnow its a real issue07:56
jmarsdenTime to read your log files, I'd think.07:57
arbirjmarsden: yeah.. but right now.. i am off to bed.... too tired.. tomorrow morning with a fresh start07:57
arbirjmarsden: thanks a lot07:57

TundaIs there a specific UEC channel18:01
TundaDoes UEC require only Intel CPU's that support VT or can AMD CPU's that support AMD-V also be used?18:18
jpdsTunda: I thought it ran on KVM or something like that?18:25
Tundajpds: It does use kvm and the module is installed but I cannot attach storage or elastic Ip's without the instance shutting down and then I cannot seem to restart them until after a undefined period of time.  Quite lengthy.  after double checking https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/CDInstall it shows VT extensions or VT 64bit multicore.  So I thought I should ask before banging my head against the wall anyfurther.18:30

arbirhello.19:24
arbirhow can i disable the extra ttys . i dont need 6 of them. just 2 will suffice. i can comment out the spawn getty line in /etc/init/ttyX.conf , but, is there a proper way to do it from a program ?19:25
jmarsdenarbir: Editing /etc/init/tty*.conf is the proper way to do it, as far as I know.  But unless you are running on tiny embedded hardware or something, you'll gain almost nothing by doing that.  Have you benchmarked your system with and without those ttys enabled?  Is there a measurable performance difference?19:37
jetolehey guys. i have a system thta is showing 3 different network cards all with the same mac address  does anyone know why? also, all 3 are different make19:41
jetoleadditionally, udev is not auto detecting all, only one and it looks like udev is detecting the proper mac19:42
RoyKjetole: eeeerm - ifconfig -a is showing them all?21:10
jetoleRoyK: I found out the issue, it has to do with libdnet/libdumbnet121:39
jetoleI have another issue, I suspect, which I am about to verify, seems a I have a reaktek card that seems (still waiting to verify) remember it's changed mac address permentantly21:40
jetolenope, not that21:41
jetolefor some reason it is still pulling up the libdnet address21:41
PolK_Salut21:44
RoyKjetole: the mac address should be the one onboard21:55
jetoleRoyK: it wasn't however22:08
jetoleit was using the decnet/dnet address22:08
jetoleI yanked the card and replaced it regardless22:08
jmarsdenSome NICs will let you "permanently" write a changed MAC address into onboard EEPROM ... but that's hard to do without *knowing* you did it.22:08
jetoleRoyK: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/linux-decnet/index.php?title=FAQ422:08
jetolenotice the mac in the first question in the isolated box22:08
jetolethat was the MAC on all cards before I removed libdnet and libdumbnet122:09
jetolebut that was still the mac on one card many boots later22:09
jetolejmarsden: also, since I know very little about dnet I don't know if it changed the MAC permenantly, all I know is it was installed initially as well as the libndnet-dev to compile... I think it was snort22:11
jetoledebian/ubuntu have snort from the middle ages in the repos22:11
jmarsdenjetole: So you have filed a RTP for a newer version of snort, right?22:13
jmarsdenrmadison shows:  snort | 2.8.4.1-4ubuntu1 | lucid/universe | source, amd64, i38622:13

Doonzhey guys im trying to reinstall lighttpd through apt-get. I had manually removed /etc/init.d/lighttpd but now when i reinstall lighttpd it doesnt recreate it. could someone copy me the base directory of /etc/init.d/lighttpd22:31
jetolejmarsden: you realize lucid is not yet beta22:34
jmarsdenjetole: Yes.  But you did not specify a version of Ubuntu: <jetole> debian/ubuntu have snort from the middle ages in the repos22:35
jmarsdenThat version is in the repos.22:35
jetolefair enough22:35
ScottKDoonz: Here's a better idea: install it, then purge it (not remove), then install again.22:35
jmarsdenAlso, <jetole> debian/ubuntu have snort from the middle ages in the repos22:35
jmarsdenOops.  Also: snort | 2.8.4.1-3ubuntu1 | karmic/universe | source, amd64, i38622:35
jmarsdenKarmic has a pretty recent version, it seems.22:36
jmarsdenAnd Karmic really is released :)22:36
jetoleno! Really?22:36
jmarsdenjetole: So you could (if needed) use those packages as a base for your own updated snort packages, and so contribute the updated ones back to the Ubuntu community.22:37
jmarsdenThis would probably be more productive than complaints about the middle ages.22:37
jetoleI didn't complain about anything22:37
jetoleI justified why I compiled snort myself22:37

ScottKDoonz: When you want to remove config files, purge.  The package system assumes if you manually delete one you REALLY want it gone forever.22:44
Doonzbut now im trying to follow the guide at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/lighttpd-webserver-setup-with-php5-and-mysql-support.html to enable php22:44
Doonzbut when i goto my webserver and try to run the php file i get 403 forbidden22:44
Doonzwhat permission should i set to my php file?22:44
* ScottK has successfully avoided all knowledge of PHP, but recommends you look at the permissions of the php file.22:44
Doonzyeah22:45
Doonzshould it be read  and excute22:45
ScottKOwned by?  www-data maybe?22:45
jmarsdenDoonz: Be aware that the (unofficial) guide you are working from is about 21 months old... details may have changed since it was written.  Only use a guide like that if you actually understand every step it tells you to do.22:48
Doonzi dont know anything22:48
jmarsdenThen don't use random stuff you found by Googling :)22:48
Doonzbut my www direcatory is owned by www-data, the test.php file has chmod 555 assinged to it. but when i pull it up in the webserver i get 40322:49
jmarsdenDo you 100% *need* lighttpd rather than Apache?  If not, use the (official) Ubuntu Server Guide and install Apache.22:49
Doonzwell yeah since the guides i keep finding refer to lighttpf22:50
Doonzwell yeah since the guides i keep finding refer to lighttpd22:50
jmarsdenUnless you have almost no RAM or you have a very highly loaded server Apache works fine.22:50
jmarsdenWhy are you reading random guides and not the official one?22:50
Doonzwhy doesnt the official guieds include creating multiple users running their own session of screen with rtorrent running with logging enabled from an irc bot that uses a php script to translate for flexget22:51
Doonzsorry but guides are only good if they actually help you22:51
jmarsdenlighttpd has nothing to do with screen or irc bots.22:51
jmarsdenIf you have specific question, try asking them here.22:51
Doonzi did you told me to use another product22:51
Doonztypical answer22:51
jmarsdenI suggested you use the product more people use for a web server than any other.  So that you can get better support from more people.22:52
jmarsdenIf you want to do it all on your own, go for it... the choice is yours.22:52
jmarsdenHow much of "multiple users running their own session of screen with rtorrent running with logging enabled from an irc bot that uses a php script to translate for flexget" have you achieved so far?22:53
jmarsdenWhich part of that do you want help with at the moment?22:54
