[03:24] <nvme> does the server version come with any gui ?
[03:25] <sub> not by default, but if you were so inclined you could install one
[03:25] <tonyyarusso> nvme: not be default.  You likely want to look into ebox.
[03:26] <nvme> how easy is it to put something like gdm on it ?
[03:27] <tonyyarusso> Very, but you have to ask yourself why you would want to.
[03:31] <nvme> i dont want to, my boss does so the noobies can do stuff too :P
[03:31] <tonyyarusso> Installing GDM won't make it any easier for people to administer the server.  It will only make it easier to break it.

[10:52] <gzur> it starts up fine on boot

[11:49] <ycy> how can I regenerate them?
[11:52] <jiboumans> ycy: assuming you dont have a backup of your /etc or aren't using etckeeper (suggest you do from now on), try using dpkg -S apt.conf.d
[11:52] <jiboumans> that will show you all packages that have installed a file in there
[11:52] <ycy> ok
[11:52] <ycy> then dpkg reinstall all of those pkg?
[11:53] <jiboumans> *nods*

[12:47] <acalvo> hi
[12:48] <acalvo> and happy new year
[12:48] <acalvo> :)
[12:51] <acalvo> what is the best way to sync between two servers?
[12:51] <cemc> acalvo: sync what? is there a master/slave relation? rsync?
[12:52] <acalvo> yes, is there a master/server relation
[12:52] <acalvo> I want to set up a backup server, so in case the master goes down, the slave takes control of everything (ldap, samba, and so on)
[12:53] <cemc> like failover or you start the backup server manually?
[12:53] <acalvo> whatever is easier
[12:53] <acalvo> I don't mind starting it manually
[12:55] <cemc> I would probably do it with rsync, at night when nobody's using it (if that's the case here), and have all the configurations in place in case I have to switch. but that's just me, there are probably much better ways to do it
[12:56] <cemc> and more complicated ways too :)
[12:56] <acalvo> that sounds pretty useful
[12:56] <acalvo> just rsync?
[12:57] <cemc> the problem with that setup is, after you get the master server back up, you have to sync back the changes made on the backup. it really depends on your situation, maybe you should google it first ;)
[13:10] <acalvo> cemc: yes, could be really a problem

[14:26] <_ruben> acalvo: define "sync"
[14:28] <acalvo> _ruben: I've a production server, and last month we had a power failure which lead to a really big data crash, and I've waste like 5h trying to get it working again (we had backups, but only 1 a day)
[14:29] <acalvo> so I'm trying to focus in having two servers: a master/slave relation. So, if one fails, start the other without any data loss
[14:29] <acalvo> I don't know if I can run a rsync every hour (or so), or if there is any other solution more appropiated for this goal
[14:30] <_ruben> if you want realtime sync of data use something like drbd
[14:30] <acalvo> mmm, clustering then
[14:31] <acalvo> but I've already the server working
[14:32] <_ruben> drbd can be activated with existing data .. must admit, never done it myself (drbd is still on my todo/wish list)
[14:33] <acalvo> I'll give it a look, but I don't know if it fits in the actual enviorenment
[14:33] <acalvo> is there any other solution?
[14:33] <_ruben> its the only realtime sync solution im aware of
[14:34] <_ruben> closest alternative would be a scheduled rsync as you stated yourself
[14:34] <soren> glusterfs
[14:35] <acalvo> thanks you both, I'll give it a try for both solutions
[14:35] <acalvo> but seems that your point is right: clustering

[14:50] <ttx> kirkland: that's good :)
[14:50] <kirkland> ttx: and set eucalyptus-nc to start on started libvirt?
[14:50] <kirkland> ttx: i'm hoping that will take care of a few -nc problems
[14:51] <kirkland> ttx: not sure it'll solve this though, but i'd be interested in testing
[14:51] <ttx> kirkland: not it won't solve this one
[14:51] <kirkland> ttx: ah, this is the ssh respawn one
[14:51] <ttx> well, an avahi-daemon respawn one
[14:52] <ttx> a less-ugly solution would be to use respawn and some way to make it not respawn very fast
[14:52] <ttx> since apparently upstart won't really check state without an event to force it to
[14:53] <ttx> kirkland: you know of a way to make upstart respawn slowly ?
[14:53] <kirkland> ttx: heh :-)
[14:53] <kirkland> ttx: well, i'm learning more about upstart each night
[14:54] <ttx> I hit the respawn limit even on a avahi-daemon restart (which is quite fast)
[14:54] <kirkland> ttx: that i'm not sure about, but I'll ask slangasek
[14:54] <ttx> we might have to corner the upstart experts at the sprint
[14:54] <kirkland> ttx: agreed, would be nice to get a comprehensive review of eucalyptus*upstart and their dependencies
[14:55] <kirkland> ttx: it would be nice to get that on the calendar
[14:55] <kirkland> ttx: as a 1.5 hour meeting or something
[14:55] <ttx> right, let me see if there is a place for that yet
[14:56] <ttx> not yet
[14:56] <Ethos> Anyone know how to install vmware-tools into server 8.10?
[14:57] <Ethos> I think 99% of the guides on the internet are written by people who simply make them up
[14:57]  * ttx tries a 5-component separated install now
[14:58] <kirkland> ttx: as for the "solution", starting on started eucalyptus-nc, that certainly seems reasonable to me
[14:58] <ttx> kirkland: well, nothing ensures that ssh / avahi-daemon are available then
[14:58] <ttx> kirkland: even if thery always are in my experience
[14:59] <ttx> and as soon as you add an "and" to that, trouble starts
[14:59] <kirkland> ttx: then start on started ssh, avahi-daemon, and eucalytpus-nc ?
[15:00] <Ethos> k
[15:00] <ttx> kirkland: that would still fail if avahi-daemon is restarted
[15:00] <Ethos> helpful bunch

[15:01] <gzur_> I've got an ubuntu-server running X. I can connect to it from my windows machine over SSH using putty fine.

[15:03] <ttx> and will apply it.
[15:06] <ttx> done
[15:07] <ttx> "<gzur_> I've got an ubuntu-server running X" then it's an ubuntu desktop, no ?
[15:08] <ttx> Ethos: you might have more success in #ubuntu-virt
[15:09] <jiboumans> gzur_: you'll need x-forwarding enabled and an x capable client. alternately you can use vnc or somesuch. As ttx pointed out, the desktop folks are more likely to know specifics
[15:09] <gzur_> ttx: well - sure.. it's actually ubuntu-server onto which I installed metacity
[15:09] <Ethos> ttx: that's great thanks :)
[15:09] <gzur_> awright
[15:09] <gzur_> thanks
[15:09] <ttx> Ethos: not eveyrone (especially here) is using/needing vmware
[15:09] <Ethos> Yeah, I thought as much
[15:10] <jiboumans> gzur_: if you want access to the 'remote desktop', vnc or some such is your best bet and should be easy to set up
[15:10] <gzur_> ok
[15:14] <Jeeves_> You cannot file bugs on PPA-packages, it seems?
[15:14] <ScottK> Jeeves_: No.  They aren't in Ubuntu.  Just mail the person that runs the PPA.

[15:16]  * Jeeves_ was looking for cheap karma :)
[15:16] <ScottK> Ah.
[15:16] <Jeeves_> Would be a nice feature though
[15:16] <ScottK> Jeeves_: What I did for the Kubuntu PPA, ~kubuntu-ppa, was make a LP project called kubuntu-ppa and have it have a bug tracker.
[15:17] <ScottK> So it's two separate entities (since PPAs don't have bug tackers), but happens to have the same name.
[15:17] <Jeeves_> ScottK: bitcron isn't really worth that much effort :)
[15:17] <ScottK> OK.
[15:22] <acalvo> how can I force a system to use an ethernet as default?

[15:29] <acalvo> I've two NICs, one has internet access while the other don't
[15:29] <acalvo> and checking the route table it seems that it tries only the one that does not have internet access
[15:30] <acalvo> is there any way to add more weight to the one that has internet access?
[15:30] <Jeeves_> acalvo: it will try to use the default route

[15:31] <Jeeves_> alvin: That something else
[15:31] <Jeeves_> acalvo: It will try both these default routes on a round-robin'ish base

[15:32] <acalvo> it's the backup network

[15:33] <Jeeves_> Is everything reachable via both paths?
[15:33] <acalvo> yes
