[00:14] <smoser_> mathiaz, ping
[00:14] <mathiaz> smoser_: hey!
[00:15] <lunaphyte> hi.  i have a server running 9.10.  i've installed a couple of things on it (openfire, ncidd) that i'd like to start at boot in the usual runlevels (2345).  traditional rc.d symlinks exist, but the services are not starting.  i've read a bit about upstart, which appears to perhaps be related in some way, but i'm not sure how to proceed.
[00:16] <smoser_> i can't seem to get to ec2 instance now :-(
[00:17] <mathiaz> smoser_: hm - this is annoying
[00:18] <smoser_> well, hold on
[00:18] <smoser_> turns out i launched it without a key
[00:18] <smoser_> so i'm holding out hope
[00:29] <smoser_> ok, good. it was luser error
[00:31] <smoser_> forgot --key my-key
[01:44] <JohnA1> I have heard that SSL/SSH is susceptible to buffer overflow attack, is his true?
[02:12] <maxagaz> i have an usb printer which i can't see using lsusb on karmic, but i can see it on other release of ubuntu
[02:44] <mcarse> i asked this last night, but lost my connection before shortly after..
[02:44] <mcarse> does anyone have any thoughts on when ubuntu 9.10 will be supported by vmware?
[02:59] <zoopster> mcarse: it is
[03:01] <mcarse> zoopster: vmware list 9.10 as not supported on vmware server 2.0, and vmware tools won't compile... thoughts?
[03:04] <sub> i have vmware server 2.0 on 9.10, did you install the build-essential package? what's the exact error you get during compilation?
[03:06] <mcarse> I will have to run the compile again.. Something about Error 2, module failed to insert into running kernel
[03:06] <sub> mcarse: my first guess is that you might be missing kernel header files, but i'll wait till you confirm with the error message
[03:08] <mcarse> I have done the compile lots of other times on 9.04 without error, only have started having issues as of 9.10. I have installed build-essentials and linux-headers-server
[03:09] <ScottK> mcarse: What architecture are you running?
[03:09] <sub> let's start with the error message
[03:09] <sub> :<
[03:10] <mcarse> I will have to run another upgrade to get the error again.
[03:10] <ScottK> The reason I ask is that if you're on i386, you want -generic, not -server.
[03:10] <mcarse> won't take long.
[03:11] <sub> i typically do linux-headers-`uname -r`
[03:11] <sub> which i think evalutates to server ;p
[03:11] <sub> no sorry, that's a revision number, hehe
[03:11] <ScottK> For 9.10 there is no i386 server kernel
[03:14] <mcarse> I am was using 9.10 32bit
[03:16] <mcarse> I will re-upgrade the vm fromm 9.04 to 9.10 and check back.
[03:16] <ScottK> mcarse: Try it with the generic headers instead of the server ones.
[03:17] <mcarse> ok. thank you ScottK and sub
[03:20] <HulkHogan> !ops
[03:20] <HulkHogan> Yo I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want,
[03:20] <HulkHogan> So tell me what you want, what you really really want
[03:21] <Pici> HulkHogan: ?
[03:22] <HulkHogan> Yo I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want,
[03:22] <HulkHogan> So tell me what you want, what you really really want
[03:23] <HulkHogan> How sexy my ride?

[03:48] <jjohansen> ttx: Q. is Bug #494565 blocking anyone yet?  With the kernel sprint happening this week I haven't had time to deal with it.  Right now its top of the queue for next week
[04:26] <ehazlett> greetings...
[04:26] <ehazlett> i am trying to configure ldap on 9.10 using the server guide but i don't get the option to enter information via dpkg-reconfigure slapd -- any ideas?
[04:35] <mcarse> ScottK: Still here?
[04:35] <ScottK> mcarse: Yes.
[04:36] <ScottK> Although I'm in the middle of testing things, so I may be in and out.
[04:36] <mcarse> I get "make *** [vmmemctl.ko] Error 2"
[04:36] <mcarse> Unable to build the vmmemctl module
[04:37] <mcarse> all the modules fail in a similar manner
[04:38] <mcarse> That is with the server headers installed. Should I just apt-get install linux-headers-generic and try building again?
[04:38] <ScottK> That's what I suggested an hour ago.
[04:39] <mcarse> k. I had  to re-upgrade first.
[04:40] <mcarse> I still get the same error
[04:41] <mcarse> it is looking in /lib/modules/2.6.31.17-generic-pae/build/include/
[04:48] <mcarse> There is a similar error for each module
[04:59] <ScottK> Do you have the generic-pae headers?
[05:01] <mcarse> ScottK: says i already have the newest version of linux-headers-generic-pae
[05:01] <ScottK> OK.  I don't know what to tell you then.
[05:02] <mcarse> ok, thanks for the help though.
[05:02] <mcarse> might just have to just stick with 9.04 for now.
[05:14] <SJr> A user can write to a folder when logged in via SSH but when they try to use sftp to write to the folder it fails
[07:00] <zig_> Is there any merit to running a 32-bit OS as a guest under a 64-bit host OS?
[07:00] <zig_> As opposed to 64-bit guest and 64-bit host
[07:01] <zig_> I heard there are potential performance benefits of using 32-bit guest on a 64-bit host
[07:18] <ttx> smoser: still around ?
[07:38] <maxagaz> is it possible to associate a local cups config (to use usb printers) to a the cups config used for my network ?
[07:55] <maxagaz> Is it possible to set more than one ServerName in /etc/cups/client.conf ?
[07:56] <jmarsden> maxagaz: try it and see -- it's faster than waiting here for an answer :)
[07:56] <maxagaz> jmarsden, i tried, but unsuccesfully
[07:56] <maxagaz> jmarsden, that's why i'm wondering if it's possible
[07:56] <jmarsden> maxagaz: Then the answer is probably "no".  There's nothing in    man client.conf    that says you can do that.
[07:59] <ab2283> because crossposting is fun...
[07:59] <ab2283> can i make bind9 have it's own searchlist for incomplete queries by clients ? aka - move the dns suffix setting from the clients to the bind machine, since incomplete queries (hostnames) will only be on one certain domain
[07:59] <maxagaz> jmarsden, I found a section "Specifying Multiple Servers for Printing" in http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html
[08:00] <jmarsden> maxagaz: Go for it :)
[08:06] <kevin__> can I ask questions about eucalyptus setup over here?
[08:06] <kevin__> Ubuntu 9.10 server
[08:20] <jmarsden> kevin__: You can ask... you might also try in #ubuntu-virt
[08:20] <jmarsden> BTW I know nothing about eucalyptus :)
[08:21] <kevin__> thanks.
[08:56] <acalvo> wow
[08:57] <acalvo> a little mess with the python-xml package!
[08:57] <acalvo> is there any good calendar server for ubuntu?
[08:57] <acalvo> DCS won't work
[09:16] <jiboumans> good morning
[10:53] <clusty> hey
[10:54] <clusty> how do i make the nfs server rearead the exports ?
[10:54] <clusty> without a full service restart
[10:55] <soren> exportfs -va
[10:55] <soren> iirc
[10:55] <clusty> found it thanks
[10:56] <clusty> -r -v also worked
[12:55] <ghostlines> I have a problem with ssh, the connections hangs sometimes and then I can't log back into my server, I'm running 9.10
[12:55] <ghostlines> anyone has similar issues or could provide tips?
[12:55] <ghostlines> netstat says that the connections is still established, and even after a restart of the ssh daemon i still can't log in
[13:08] <zul> morning
[13:32] <ghostlines> hi
[13:47] <sommer> morning all
[13:49] <zul> hey sommer
[13:53] <jerico__> Hey, I've been having issues with network manager applet and multiple users.  Can I remove network manager and still use wifi?
[13:53] <soren> jerico__: Ask in #ubuntu.
[13:54] <jerico__> friendly
[13:54] <soren> Well.
[13:55] <soren> "For general (not server specific) support visit #ubuntu"
[13:55] <soren> "Please, ask in #ubuntu"?
[13:55] <jerico__> You're right. I can see from the flow of text in here that I was clearly taking up too much room.
[13:56] <soren> What's that got to do with anything?
[13:57] <soren> A channel being quiet doesn't mean that everything is suddenly on-topic.stuff that really is off-topic suddenly is on-topic.
[13:58] <soren> Err... s/\..*/./
[13:59] <jiboumans> server meeting starting in #ubuntu-meeting, please make your way there
[13:59] <jerico__> Yeah, you're right.  I'll go back to the "how do I burn an .AVI" channel.
[14:00] <smoser> ttx, ping ack from your 2:00 am us/eastern message (7 hours ago)
[14:01] <ttx> mathiaz/smoser: what's the status on the ec2-init ? Wasn't uploaded afaict... I was wondering if there was anything blocking it
[14:01] <Italian_Plumber> how do I turn off these notifications: "You have new mail in /var/mail/david"
[14:01] <smoser> ttx, ?
[14:01] <smoser> hold on
[14:01] <ttx> or I missed something
[14:02] <ttx> ah
[14:02] <ttx> I missed something
[14:02] <ttx> smoser: bug not closed
[14:02] <ttx> (LP:506332) --> (LP: #506332)
[14:03]  * ttx start breathing again
[14:03] <ttx> smoser: ok, i'm closing the bug manually :)
[14:06] <Lord-Readman> hello, does anyone know which file/setting holds the server name type i.e. Apache/2.2.10 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.10 OpenSSL/0.9.8b DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635
[14:06] <Lord-Readman> how can I trim that to just Apache
[14:06] <Lord-Readman> etc
[14:07] <jerico__> Is there any reason to use ldap on a network that does not or will not have any windows domain controller?
[14:10] <soren> jerico__: Sure.
[14:11] <soren> jerico__: Well... supposing you want to use a central user database or whatnot.
[14:16] <jerico__> soren: Okay, I'll read up on it then. I just didn't want to start googling it for hours just to find out I would never need it.
[14:17] <soren> jerico__: I seem to be missing something..
[14:17] <soren> jerico__: Let's pretend there was a windows domain controller on the network... Why would you need it then?
[14:18] <jerico__> soren: maybe I'm missing something.  Doesn't ldap allow you to login to non windows PC with their domain names?
[14:18] <jerico__> er. not domain names
[14:18] <soren> jerico__: If configured correctly, yes.
[14:18] <ivoks> ldap is directory server
[14:19] <ivoks> it *can* allow you to login to non windows pc
[14:19] <ivoks> but it do lots of things :)
[14:19] <jerico__> ah, alright.
[14:19] <ivoks> it _can_ do
[14:19] <soren> jerico__: Let me answer it this way: If you want to authenticate against any central directory, be it AD or an OpenLDAP server, then yes, ldap is what you want to read about.
[14:20] <soren> jerico__: If you don't care about authenticating against anything but the local passwd file, don't bother with LDAP, regardless of whether there's a domain controller or whatnot on the network.
[14:21] <smoser> ttx, regarding ssh and uec, we're definitely a bit memory constrained, and the ec2init that is there right now isnt enabling swap. so its possible that things get OOMed out of life
[14:21] <aubre> Lord-Readman: You can set what you want that string to say if you use mod_security and in the SecServerSignature line put whatever you want - you can put it in /etc/apache2/conf.d/modsecurity/modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf
[14:21] <smoser> but you shoudl see messages like that in console. and i added code yesterday to development to turn swap on
[14:21] <ttx> smoser: not with m1.large, right
[14:22] <smoser> medium (256) i've seen the issues with
[14:28] <smoser> ok, this is stupid question, but after i upload stuff (bundle/register) how are peo;le deleting that from euca ?
[14:31] <soren> Oh, dear.
[14:32] <zul> just saw that
[14:36] <tomix> Hi!
[14:36] <tomix> I am trying to find good hardware configs to run ubuntu server in a lab lan settings
[14:43] <tomix> ok i guess i just found: https://enterprise.ubuntu.com/supported_hardware.php
[14:44] <tomix> But would someone recommend one of these options?
[14:50] <ghostlines> hi all
[14:51] <ghostlines> after a random amount of time sometimes just 5 mins, I can't log into my ssh server
[14:51] <ghostlines> i restarted the ssh server from the console but still no luck
[14:51] <ghostlines> i can ping it but can't ssh into it
[14:51] <ghostlines> any tips or idea's anyone?
[14:52]  * tomix passes around freshly brewed pot of coffee :P
[15:00] <ttx> smoser: cloud inistance / UEC test successful, good job
[15:01] <smoser> woowhoo
[15:01] <ivoks> ScottK: could you change assignee on https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-lucid-more-mail-integration to me? thanks
[15:02] <smoser> thanks for invoking while hopping on one foot, singing 'i will survive' and sprinkling the pixiee dust (all requirements to make it run correctly), tt
[15:02] <smoser> ttx
[15:03] <ttx> I also run euca-terminate-instances very fast, before it falls down on me
[15:05] <ttx> smoser, zul: please split the EC2 tests between you two
[15:05] <zul> ttx: starting them now
[15:05] <smoser> zul, which are you taking?
[15:06] <zul> us-ones
[15:06] <zul> smoser: sorry ill do the us-east ones and the us-west amd64 one if you want
[15:07] <smoser> zul, thats fine. i was going to offer to try running through the multiple instances ones
[15:07] <smoser> i'll pull out / dust off the script for that.
[15:08] <smoser> zul, you start on the single instance stuff.
[15:08] <zul> smoser: kk
[15:08] <kaushal> hi
[15:08] <kaushal> got disconnected
[15:08] <kaushal> any clue ?
[15:12] <ch1ll1man> does anyone know how to keep the hostname persistent on the EC2 images
[15:13] <ab2283> is anyone familiar with PXE and DHCP3 ?
[15:14] <kaushal> ab2283, yes
[15:14] <smoser> ch1ll1man, http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=1346 ?
[15:14] <kaushal> ab2283, http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/11/how-to-configure-pxe-network-booting-on-ubuntu-for-network-based-installations/
[15:15] <ab2283> kaushal, okay... my question is a bit tricky... i'm trying to boot winpe from a dhcp3/tftpd-hpa combination (migrating the whole setup from win server 2003). everything works except for the following:
[15:16] <ab2283> the pe bootstrapper asks the dhcp server for a tftp server to grab the bcd store from
[15:16] <ab2283> however, i can't get dhcp3 to answer to that request
[15:16] <ab2283> i have a tcpdump of those packets
[15:17] <ab2283> someone else also has this issue here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=93832
[15:19] <ab2283> no idea ?
[15:21] <ch1ll1man> thx smosher although I'm not sure you have to have a fixed IP, alestic.com images work fine
[15:31] <Omahn> ivoks: I'm interested in testing out your pacemaker packages, will you be publishing another blog post with a link to the wiki page with directions?
[15:31] <ivoks> Omahn: yes
[15:31] <Omahn> cool.
[15:32] <ivoks> probably in an hour or two
[15:32] <Omahn> ivoks: Even better :-) I'm looking at using it to replace a Redhat/Pirahna based LVS cluster with Ubuntu/pacemaker managed by Puppet. Hopefully :-)
[15:32] <ivoks> :)
[15:33] <ivoks> there's #ubuntu-ha
[15:33] <ivoks> if you'll have any questions
[15:33] <ivoks> ah, you're already there :D
[15:33] <Omahn> ;)
[15:33] <Omahn> I've asked questions in the channel before without any response. Maybe I'm just in a different timezone to everyone else.
[15:36] <ivoks> brb
[15:40] <Italian_Plumber1> how do I turn off these notifications: "You have new mail in /var/mail/david"
[15:46] <neonfreon>  /wg 2
[15:46] <Sam-I-Am> Italian_Plumber1: either you can unset the shell variable... or turn off comsat (if its enabled)
[15:48] <nijaba> mathiaz: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AWSClientLibraries updated
[15:56] <Omahn> It appears that Lucid has a new kernel and/or initrd since I copied the ones from alpha 1 to our PXE server. Could anyone tell me where I can find the newer ones?
[15:56] <Omahn> Somewhere in the archive I presume, but no idea where.
[15:59] <ttx> mathiaz: I reworked the UEC testcases so that checking the registration works is actually part of the cluster / node install testcases rather than part of the "Instance test run" testcase
[15:59] <ttx> since running the installer and not testing that the install actually succeeds doesn't make much sense to me
[16:02] <genii> Omahn: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=linux-image-2.6.32-10&searchon=names&suite=lucid&section=all
[16:05] <Omahn> I should have been more specific, it's the kernel and initrd for the installer.
[16:06] <Italian_Plumber1> On a 486?  Sure. :)
[16:06] <Omahn> I'm just crawling our local archive mirror. Must be there *somewhere* :-)
[16:06] <Italian_Plumber1> sorry my 486 comment went in the wrong channel
[16:08] <Italian_Plumber1> I received a response to my question
[16:08] <Italian_Plumber1> (10:40:19 AM) Italian_Plumber1: how do I turn off these notifications: "You have new mail
[16:08] <Italian_Plumber1> (10:46:51 AM) Sam-I-Am: Italian_Plumber1: either you can unset the shell variable... or turn off comsat (if its enabled)
[16:08] <Italian_Plumber1> I don't knwo what either of these options reference.  Can someone elaborate?
[16:10] <genii> Italian_Plumber1: Look for something like MAILCHECK in your .bashrc
[16:12] <genii> Italian_Plumber1: "unset the shell variable" is what that part means. comsat I dunno about
[16:12] <Italian_Plumber1> the word "mail" is not in my .bashrc file
[16:15] <genii> Italian_Plumber1: Check your .bash_profile  then
[16:16] <Italian_Plumber1> hmm... don't have one.
[16:16] <Italian_Plumber1> but if that's where that kind of thing is I can read up about it.  That gives me a place to start.
[16:17] <Omahn> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ <--- answers my question
[16:22] <ivoks> Omahn: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClusterStack/LucidTesting
[16:34] <kees> mathiaz: the ssh CBC bug is a relative non-issue; upstream is not backporting anything to address it.
[16:36] <marks256> I'm trying to compile 2.6.22 with the lustre kernel patch, but i'm not having any luck at all. I've tried following multiple tutorial, but no avail. My main problem is, i don't think the configuration is copying over. I was able to compile a kernel, but when i boot into it, i'm presented with what looks to be busybox, and the list of commands is limited. Plus when i do a modprobe -v lustre, nothing shows up. :(
[16:42] <marks256> Well it's obvious lustre isn't going to work. Can anyone suggest another scalable storage option that offers quotas?
[16:49] <Omahn> ivoks: Great, thanks. I'll run through the tests tomorrow and report back.
[17:33] <J_P> Hi all
[17:33] <jerico_2> In my smb.conf I specify a workgroup.  Does that make my server part of that workgroup or do I need to specify that in another config file?
[17:34] <J_P> I have a question about dd. Is possible i copy a image from a disc1 (linux installed) to a file_img and after when i have one disc2 copy file_img to disc2 and boot it?
[17:34] <J_P> dd if=/dev/sda of=file_img  and after dd if=file_img of=/dev/sda will works? or I need special params for this process?
[17:53] <soren> ttx: You actually managed a server install with lvm?
[17:53] <ttx> soren: yes, multiple
[17:53] <ttx> in KVM and real
[17:53] <soren> ttx: Fascinating.
[17:53] <soren> ttx: /me retries
[17:53] <ttx> soren: crypt-lvm is slightly more problematic
[17:53] <soren> ttx: I'll worry about that once I get lvm working.
[17:53] <ttx> soren: Works on real hw, not so much in kvm
[17:54] <ttx> soren: I suspect that if you don't have intel graphics, you're missing a graphical prompt
[17:54] <ttx> (my "real hw" has intel graphics
[17:54] <ttx> and get a nice graphical pw prompt)
[17:54] <soren> ttx: Sounds like a reasonable analysis.
[17:54] <ttx> I'll redo the KVM thing... tomorrow
[17:54] <soren> I still haven't seem Plymouth work.
[17:54] <ttx> but yes, LVM is a no-brainer
[17:55] <soren> ttx: Mine gets stuck at grub.
[17:55] <ttx> i've done tons of them, since the UEC installer tests use that by default
[17:55] <ttx> uh.
[17:55] <soren> I'll record the install so that you can see it and perhaps see what you do differently.
[17:56] <ttx> soren: so you get a grub install question at the end of the install ?
[17:56] <ttx> s/so/do/
[17:56] <soren> ttx: I haven't been paying attention.
[17:56] <soren> ttx: It's all automated. :)
[17:56] <ttx> ah
[17:56]  * ttx still does human testing, that's why it works :P
[17:57] <zul> human testing like cloning?
[17:57] <ttx> zul: like experimentation. I could use your first-born.
[17:58] <zul> ttx; you can have him maybe i would get some sleep during the night ;)
[17:58] <ttx> zul: want to trade for two girls, one of them still growing her 5th tooth ?
[17:58] <zul> ttx: hmmm....lemme think about that and get back to you
[17:59]  * ttx calls it a day
[17:59] <ttx> may bbl
[18:47] <diago> I need to add a objectClass to LDAP, but I don't have an OID and can't wait for one. Is there any issue with using the experimental ones and changing it later?
[19:09] <cemc> is there a way to restore original sources.lst ?
[19:20] <genii> cemc: You might have a sample one in /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list
