| twb | crazy_im1: file a bug report | 02:28 |
| crazy_im1 | is there any specific bugtracker related to the ubuntu-server distribution? | 02:29 |
| twb | Ubuntu uses launchpad. | 02:30 |
| twb | There's a GUI tool called "apport" you can use to help you report bugs, I don't know if it has a tty version. | 02:30 |
| crazy_im1 | hmpf | 02:31 |
| crazy_im1 | btw, why is there no sshd installed by default? | 02:31 |
| twb | Why should sshd be installed by default? | 02:31 |
| crazy_im1 | because, if you setup a server installation, you normally just say, go and come back later using ssh? | 02:33 |
| twb | If you say so. | 02:33 |
| twb | You can of course check the "be an SSH server" during the tasksel step, near the end of the install. | 02:33 |
| crazy_im1 | and using dhcp is a nice feature, but i would expect to have a choice between static ip and dhcp if i setup something, maybe i've got asked and didn't noticed it, dunno right now | 02:34 |
| crazy_im1 | just saw tomcat and hit go ;) | 02:34 |
| crazy_im1 | sorry for the rant, but this system eat away some hours of my time :/ | 02:35 |
| crazy_im1 | twb: how do you manage your headless machines? | 02:39 |
| laughyNinja | i'm having trouble setting up bind9 on ubuntu server 9.x anyone listening? | 02:42 |
| ScottK | crazy_im1: It's Ubuntu policy to have the default installation have no open ports listening to the outside world. That's why no sshd by default. | 02:42 |
| crazy_im1 | ScottK: how about installing it anyways, so you just have to enable it? | 02:42 |
| ScottK | Not any difference between the access you need to start it and to install it. It's also policy that packages should be operational after install except in the unusual case where there is no sane default. | 02:43 |
| === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond | ||
| twb | crazy_im1: with SSH, puppet, or a serial console. | 02:44 |
| twb | FWIW, I would prefer if openssh-server was *not* installed by default, *and* only bound to the loopback interface by default. | 02:45 |
| crazy_im1 | cannot remember that i've changed the interface for sshd | 02:45 |
| twb | crazy_im1: it's not the case. | 02:46 |
| laughyNinja | bind9. anyone know anytthing about bind9? | 02:47 |
| twb | laughyNinja: sorry, I use dnsmasq. | 02:52 |
| laughyNinja | k. i'll go jump back into the dogfight that is bind9 setup | 02:59 |
| twb | laughyNinja: have you read the Admin Guide that's linked from topic? | 03:00 |

| jmarsden | laughyNinja: I know something a bit about bind9... but you should ask a specific question about it, not "does anyone know anything" generic stuff. What is the specific problem you are having? You installed bind9 and bind9utils packages, and then what did you do, and what failed or broke or disappointed you in what way? | 04:11 |

| qman__ | I've been trying all evening to get 9.10 installed on a system with more than one hard drive, and it just refuses to work :/ | 06:07 |
| qman__ | grub2 just will not cooperate | 06:08 |
| gnac | I'd like to do a remote install of a soon to be headless server. | 06:10 |
| gnac | Is it possible to install over ssh? | 06:10 |
| qman__ | you need physical access to start the process, but once it's up and running ssh, you can | 06:11 |
| gnac | alternatively I can forward to a serial console attached via ./screen. | 06:11 |
| gnac | qman__: so I have that, I just got concerned that once I selected Install Ubuntu Server, it looked like the process auto started. | 06:12 |
| qman__ | I always just do it locally, so I'm not sure how you go about it in the latest versions | 06:17 |
| qman__ | it only takes ten minutes or so anyway | 06:17 |
| gnac | Is there a way to run the installer from another live cd, eg boot into a gentoo live cd, start ssh, go to remote pc, download ubuntu iso, start install? | 06:22 |
| twb | gnac: you can build a pre-seeded d-i that automates all steps up to the installing the ssh udeb, and then complete the install over ssh | 06:23 |
| twb | gnac: installation from another Unix system (even another Ubuntu system) is much more of a pain in the arse, though it is possible. | 06:24 |
| twb | gnac: normally I would just download the netboot d-i kernel and ramdisk, add a preseed file to the ramdisk, and then teach your gentoo (or whatever) bootloader to boot that kernel/ramdisk. They then load into memory, proceed through to installing the ssh udeb, and then you can log in and blat the existing install. | 06:25 |
| gnac | hmm ... | 06:29 |
| gnac | well, it looks like I'm mostly through? I'm downloading the files after selecting what services (eg ssh/LAMP) I wanted installed. | 06:30 |
| gnac | It would have been nicer to do this from my laptop on the couch though ;~) | 06:31 |
| gnac | can I just install ssh and then restart the "installer" from the base system once ssh is running? | 06:34 |
| twb | gnac: no | 06:35 |
| gnac | I guess I'd have to use apt-get and manually configure then. | 06:36 |
| gnac | uhuo, I got an install grub loader failure. | 06:37 |
| gnac | '"grub=pc" package failed to install into /target/' | 06:37 |
| alkisg | What should I look for to always prevent my server from installing a specific package? apt pinning? | 06:39 |
| gnac | "grub" doesn't work either. | 06:39 |
| twb | alkisg: what package? | 06:40 |
| alkisg | twb: e.g. gdm | 06:40 |
| twb | Pinning would work. | 06:40 |
| twb | I'm not sure how you'd ACCIDENTALLY install gdm, though | 06:40 |
| alkisg | So that I could run e.g. tasksel install ubuntu-desktop but prevent gdm from being installed | 06:40 |
| === kisielk_home_ is now known as kisielk_home | ||
| alkisg | Thank you :) | 06:41 |
| jmarsden | alkisg: Might be easier to instal ubuntu desktop and then apt-get purge gdm :) | 06:41 |
| alkisg | jmarsden: I'd like to prevent end users from getting gdm on updates after the initial installation | 06:42 |
| twb | Or even just aptitude --schedule-only install ubuntu-desktop && aptitude --schedule-only purge gdm && aptitude install | 06:42 |
| jmarsden | alkisg: Once you purge it, they shouldn't get updates fot it... | 06:42 |
| twb | Or aptitude --without-recommends install ubuntu-desktop | 06:42 |
| alkisg | (e.g. some user may decide to `apt-get install ubuntu-desktop` for some reason, and that would break his system) | 06:43 |
| jmarsden | alkisg: User have root and know apt-get but cannot be trusted with info such as "do not install gdm"? Strange set of parameters, but OK. | 06:43 |
| alkisg | jmarsden: yeah, I know :D It's for a fat client deployment | 06:44 |
| alkisg | If apt pinning would work, I think it's the best option | 06:44 |
| jmarsden | It should work fine. | 06:44 |
| twb | Just arrange to auto-reimage their machines from an SOE every saturday | 06:44 |
| alkisg | Thanks again guys | 06:45 |
| gnac | any known reason why the grub-pc package would fail to install from the livecd? | 07:14 |
| twb | gnac: one easy way would be if you confused its module auto-detection by placing /boot on LVM on RAID | 07:40 |

| dr4g | I just pasted that link | 11:39 |
| dr4g | Sorry i didn't, wrong paste actually. | 11:39 |
| dr4g | Yes i'm already on that page, do you recommend i install postfix or exim4 ? | 11:40 |
| Omahn | Postfix is the default and so you might as well go for that, although I'm afraid I couldn't give you any further advice. | 11:41 |
| dr4g | alright i'll go with postix then | 11:42 |
| dr4g | Do you recommend is etup authentication on my postfix server so people don't use my server to forward on spam ? | 11:43 |
| dr4g | i setup * | 11:43 |
| Omahn | Absolutely. | 11:44 |

| dr4g | Other destinations for mail: server1.example.com, example.com, localhost.example.com, localhost | 11:44 |
| dr4g | it becoms this in the config file | 11:45 |
| dr4g | mydestination = server1.example.com, example.com, localhost.example.com, localhost | 11:45 |
| Omahn | Although if you're having to ask questions like that it might be worth using another mail host rather than setting one up yourself. | 11:45 |

| ttx | so we need coverage on ssh/samba/print/postgres | 13:59 |
| da65 | seems to be pretty much the same | 13:59 |
| soren | ttx: Yes. I'll get to work on those after these are working as expected. | 13:59 |
| ttx | soren: but too late for alpha2, meguesses | 13:59 |
| soren | ttx: Yes. It's a bit time consuming at this stage. | 14:00 |
| da65 | anyone running Boinc on UServer? | 14:00 |
| ScottK | da65: In many respects it's quit similar to Debian, but if you look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features - almost all those features are not in Debian. | 14:02 |
| kaushal | ttx: sure | 14:03 |
| kaushal | no issues | 14:03 |
| da65 | cool | 14:03 |
| da65 | used Deb for years, only came to UServer because Lenny not ok with Plesk at the moment, good move by the looks | 14:05 |
| da65 | nice to have root in ssh too, thought Ubuntu would not alow that | 14:05 |
| da65 | 2013 end of life is very nice too | 14:07 |
| da65 | is Boinc in the packaging, cant seem to find it? | 14:12 |

| ttx | yep | 15:19 |
| ttx | smoser: maybe will connect 2 min from the airport | 15:19 |
| jerico | When I do apt-get upgrade it gives me a list of packages that were held back. Why? and how do I not hold them back? | 15:21 |
| jdstrand | jerico: 'upgrade' will not install new packages, only upgrade existing ones | 15:22 |
| jpds | jerico: Try: sudo apt-get install <held-back-package-name>. | 15:22 |
| jpds | It'll tell you why the package is held back. | 15:22 |
| jdstrand | jerico: 'update' updates your database of what's available | 15:22 |
| jdstrand | jerico: on a server, typically do something like: | 15:23 |
| jdstrand | apt-get update | 15:23 |
| jdstrand | apt-get upgrade | 15:23 |
| jdstrand | apt-get dist-upgrade # if anything was held back | 15:23 |
| ttx | soren: about the other-cloud-providers spec, iiuc it's more about reaching out and see image convergence opportunities, right | 15:23 |
| AkhlD | georg, i have installed the phpmyadmin | 15:24 |
| ttx | soren: so it's rather open-ended, or do you already know what will be needed | 15:24 |
| AkhlD | but cant find the username or passworrd anywhere | 15:24 |

| ttx | soren: the other being... the client part ? | 15:24 |
| jdstrand | jerico: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/package-management.html | 15:24 |
| soren | ttx: The other half is seeing if there's anything we can do easily to make it easier to work with other provider /from/ Ubuntu. | 15:24 |
| soren | ttx: Right, the client part. | 15:24 |
| georg | AkhlD, what are you tryng todo ? | 15:24 |
| AkhlD | georg, im tryin to set up Word Press | 15:25 |
| georg | AkhlD, do you know your mysql-server root password ? | 15:25 |
| soren | ttx: I've already been working some on this. I've implemented a CLI tool for libcloud. | 15:25 |
| ttx | soren: if we target Rackspace, do you already know how far we are from what they use ? | 15:25 |
| AkhlD | yes georg | 15:25 |
| soren | ttx: It's perfectly functional (I use it quite a bit myself), but it can still be made lots better. | 15:25 |
| georg | AkhlD, now loing with them via phpmyadmin | 15:25 |
| georg | login* | 15:25 |
| soren | ttx: Using libcloud gives us a bunch of providers for free. | 15:25 |
| AkhlD | there is no login option in the phpmyadmin | 15:25 |
| soren | ttx: Among them, rackspace. | 15:25 |
| georg | AkhlD, http://yoursite.com/phpmyadmin | 15:26 |
| georg | and you get no login screen ? | 15:26 |
| AkhlD | i do | 15:26 |
| AkhlD | it shows a pag | 15:26 |
| AkhlD | page* | 15:26 |
| soren | ttx: Additionally, I've put the python bindings for Rackspace's cloud files into universe. | 15:26 |
| ttx | soren: right. I'm trying to understand how much work it represents. The client part is pretty self-contained. The server part looks more open-ended | 15:26 |
| AkhlD | with # Server: localhost (MySQL host info: localhost via TCP/IP)# Server version: 5.1.36-community-log | 15:26 |
| AkhlD | also User: root@localhost | 15:27 |
| soren | ttx: Right. the server part involves getting an account with as many providers as possible and learn from what they're doing with our images. | 15:27 |
| soren | ttx: ...and try to make sure we have a decent kernel story on as many as possible. | 15:27 |
| soren | ttx: The latter being the trickiest bit, but so far, people are very happy to discuss things. | 15:27 |

| epinky | coolion64: are you installing from Internet? (not using the Ubuntu-Server CD) | 17:59 |
| coolion64 | No, booted from cd. | 17:59 |
| epinky | coolion64: then should not be an issue, you can skip that part(configure static IPs, and update later) | 18:00 |

| RoyK | Kettle_Corn: zfs and native in-kernel cifs are the largest ones | 18:23 |
| coolion64 | stateful packet inspection | 18:24 |
| RoyK | Kettle_Corn: but not as much hardware support as with linux | 18:24 |
| epinky | Kettle_Corn: there's always NILFS on Linux | 18:24 |
| RoyK | epinky: huh??? | 18:24 |
| Kettle_Corn | ok, well better hardware support, in my book, beats "larger" | 18:24 |
| RoyK | epinky: NILFS is a fucking toy | 18:24 |
| Kettle_Corn | I have no idea what zfs and in-kernel cifs means :) | 18:24 |
| RoyK | Kettle_Corn: take a look at zfs first | 18:25 |
| RoyK | zfs fucking rocks | 18:25 |
| Kettle_Corn | is that linux? | 18:25 |
| RoyK | no, solaris | 18:25 |
| RoyK | zfs exists for linux as well using fuse | 18:25 |
| Kettle_Corn | ok and solaris = unix? | 18:25 |
| RoyK | but it's not optimal | 18:25 |
| macli | coolion64, maybe disable firewall setting for a moment to make sure it is firewall issue ? | 18:25 |
| RoyK | solaris and linux and bsd and hpux and so on are unices, yes | 18:25 |
| epinky | Kettle_Corn: if you need ZFS go FreeBSD way | 18:25 |
| Kettle_Corn | is zfs free? | 18:26 |
| RoyK | Kettle_Corn: opensolaris.org | 18:26 |
| Kettle_Corn | ok | 18:26 |
| RoyK | epinky: you won't get dedup with freebsd :þ | 18:26 |
| Kettle_Corn | should I go to code repositories..? | 18:26 |
| RoyK | Kettle_Corn: online compression, deduplication, snapshotting/cloning etc is pretty fancy stuff | 18:26 |
| Kettle_Corn | or just download? | 18:27 |
| RoyK | just download the iso | 18:27 |
| Kettle_Corn | well the use scenario is this: | 18:27 |
| Kettle_Corn | me and wifes computer should be backed up automatically, and we should be able to ask the box to download torrents. that's basically it | 18:27 |
| RoyK | anything can be used for that | 18:27 |
| Kettle_Corn | but it has to do just that perfectly, and it needs to be able to suspend to RAM | 18:27 |
| Kettle_Corn | which rules out FreeNAS which was my initial idea | 18:28 |
| RoyK | but for ease of setup, even ubuntu desktop will be good | 18:28 |
| RoyK | for suspend to ram, use desktop | 18:28 |
| Kettle_Corn | ok. would you recommend and specific software to handle backups over the network? | 18:28 |
| RoyK | the only difference between server and desktop is X and some kernel tunables you don't need | 18:28 |
| RoyK | anything will work | 18:28 |
| RoyK | linux or windows clients? | 18:29 |
| Kettle_Corn | windows | 18:29 |
| Kettle_Corn | possible macs as well | 18:29 |
| qman__ | ntbackup, robocopy, whatever you've got | 18:29 |
| RoyK | just setup a linux desktop machine as the "server", configure samba and you're done | 18:29 |
| coolion64 | macli, how about the network dmz | 18:29 |
| RoyK | Mac OS X runs samba as well | 18:29 |
| epinky | coolion64: turn tcpdump on and retry pinging | 18:30 |
| Kettle_Corn | I wont be connecting a monitor to this box; is there any way to access the screen of it, via the network from another computer? | 18:30 |
| RoyK | epinky: or try tcp connect? | 18:30 |
| coolion64 | the command for tcpdump? | 18:30 |
| Kettle_Corn | like screen sharing | 18:30 |
| RoyK | coolion64: tcpdump | 18:31 |
| RoyK | Kettle_Corn: ssh? | 18:31 |
| RoyK | or vnc | 18:31 |
| Kettle_Corn | vnc I know of. isn't ssh something command line only? | 18:31 |
| epinky | coolion64: tcpdump -i eth0 > myeth0capture.log | 18:31 |
| qman__ | yes | 18:31 |
| Kettle_Corn | for example, if I want to tell the box to start downloading a torrent (for overnight activity, turning off our "user" computers). then I'd need to access the desktop of the box, right? | 18:32 |
| coolion64 | having to retype it all sorry | 18:32 |
| qman__ | Kettle_Corn, no, you can use a torrent client with a web interface | 18:32 |
| qman__ | and access it with the web browsers on your other computers | 18:33 |
| macli | coolion64: You could try | 18:33 |
| Kettle_Corn | aha, clever | 18:33 |
| RoyK | tcpdump -wfilename.pcap -i eth0 | 18:33 |
| qman__ | transmission has one built in, but if you want a more complete system, I suggest torrentflux | 18:33 |
| Kettle_Corn | cool, thanks, I'll check that out | 18:33 |
| Kettle_Corn | a different note: I'll be using the Intel D945GSEJT as mentioned. it takes a pcie card if you want wireless networking. how do I find out if a card works on ubuntu or not? | 18:34 |
| qman__ | there are compatibility lists, but most intel cards work | 18:35 |
| qman__ | intel supports linux | 18:35 |
| macli | coolion64: again, what does your netstat -rn shows, it should show routing info like 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG eth0, something like that | 18:35 |
| coolion64 | i see several almost identical entries like: date, random number, STP, 802.1w, Rapid STP, Flags [Learn, Forward], bridge-id 9090.0$9090.00:22:f7:00:2f:cb:.5005, length 43 | 18:36 |
| Kettle_Corn | ok, cool. again, totally different question: I see torrentflux supports starting downloads on RSS feeds. Would it be possible to have it automatically download a torrent with a video file, and afterwards invoke a script upon the content? such as converting an avi-file to a iPhone friendly format | 18:36 |
| qman__ | Kettle_Corn, that would be possible to do, but torrentflux doesn't have that kind of thing built in, you'd have to write it yourself | 18:37 |
| epinky | coolion64: Spanning Tree adverts, however what about ARP, is anything about that? | 18:37 |
| Kettle_Corn | of course ,I'm not saying have torrentflux do the video conversion | 18:37 |
| Kettle_Corn | would be kinda fun to try | 18:38 |
| qman__ | I mean the functionality to trigger the conversion upon completion | 18:38 |
| chinny | apache docs say "determine the size of your average Apache process, by looking at your process list via a tool such as top, and divide this into your total available memory". which is the correct column to determine the size of the apache processes? | 18:38 |
| Kettle_Corn | how about some script that runs now and then, that scans my download folder for avi files and converts when it finds something? | 18:38 |
| qman__ | the problem with that is, you wouldn't know if the file is complete or not | 18:38 |
| Kettle_Corn | aah.. true | 18:39 |
| qman__ | so you'd have to have some trigger from torrentflux | 18:39 |
| qman__ | which is doable, but you'd need to write it yourself | 18:39 |
| Kettle_Corn | as in, code that in myself? | 18:39 |
| qman__ | yes | 18:39 |
| Kettle_Corn | what language is it written in? | 18:39 |
| qman__ | php | 18:39 |
| macli | coolion64: epinky want to see if there is arp broadcasting traffic in tcpdump | 18:40 |
| Kettle_Corn | oh, cool, shouldn't be too hard the | 18:40 |
| qman__ | well, torrentflux is in php, the torrnet client it uses is bittornado, which is in python | 18:40 |
| coolion64 | nothing about arp no | 18:40 |
| macli | you could try arp -a also to see there is arp cache for 192.168.1.1 | 18:40 |
| Kettle_Corn | do you think I'd have to write some python as well to pull it off? I know this isn't exactly easy for you to know, but you probably have a better guess than me | 18:41 |
| macli | coolion64, what is your netstat -rn output? | 18:42 |
| RoyK | chinny: man ps | 18:42 |
| coolion64 | the below is netstat: | 18:43 |
| coolion64 | Kernel IP routing table | 18:43 |
| coolion64 | DestinationGatewayGenmaskFlagsMSS Windowirtt Iface | 18:43 |
| coolion64 | 192.168.1.00.0.0.0255.255.255.0U0 0o eth0 | 18:44 |
| coolion64 | 0.0.0.0192.168.1.10.0.0.0UG000eth0 | 18:44 |
| epinky | coolion64: are you sure your Ubuntu is connected to an access port and not trunk port? | 18:44 |
| RoyK | coolion64: can you ping 1.1_ | 18:44 |
| qman__ | Kettle_Corn, it all depends on how you approach it, I wager you could do either way or a combination of both | 18:44 |
| coolion64 | also, lshw -c network, output http://pastebin.com/d3cd35425 | 18:44 |
| Kettle_Corn | alright, well I know php but not python so I'll go that route | 18:45 |
| coolion64 | epinky, what is a trunk port? | 18:45 |
| Kettle_Corn | btw, I can run ubuntu desktop off a usb stick memory, right? | 18:45 |
| chinny | anyone? | 18:46 |
| epinky | coolion64: STP advertisements are flowing by, I think it's probably an SPAN port you're connected to, check switch config | 18:46 |
| coolion64 | you mean my hub or my router? | 18:46 |
| epinky | coolion64: hub or switch nearby | 18:47 |
| coolion64 | the hub it connects has no controls, just a power button | 18:47 |
| epinky | coolion64: what about the router, can you check there? | 18:48 |
| coolion64 | for an option called span? | 18:49 |
| epinky | coolion64: to check which port are access ports, btw which router is it? can you tell? | 18:49 |
| coolion64 | d link dsl 2740b | 18:50 |
| smoser | zul, ping. see pm | 18:50 |
| coolion64 | doesn't show access ports | 18:54 |
| macli | coolion64: set the router back to factory setting and see how it goes? | 18:55 |
| epinky | coolion64: is your Draft-N router already configured(set up)? | 18:55 |
| coolion64 | it is at factory default already | 18:56 |
| coolion64 | epinky, yes | 18:56 |
| epinky | coolion64: I think ip default ip address for router is 192.168.0.1 | 18:57 |
| coolion64 | these come as 192.168.1 in spain | 18:58 |
| coolion64 | not sure why | 18:58 |
| macli | coolion64: you said you have hub between server and router? can you connect the server directly to the router? | 18:59 |
| coolion64 | i shoule be able to | 19:00 |
| coolion64 | and test it by pinging? | 19:00 |
| macli | ya | 19:01 |
| coolion64 | turn dhcp on in /etc/network/interfaces? | 19:01 |
| macli | you could try dhclient eth0 at command line | 19:02 |
| macli | you should see an ip is assigned to eth0 from the command output if router dhcp server works | 19:03 |
| epinky | Discover, Offer, Request, Ack | 19:04 |
| coolion64 | no dhcpoffers recieved | 19:04 |

| * Zelest nods | 19:46 | |
| epinky | Zelest: well you can configure a share using Samba(SMB) or you can also use SSHFS to store stuff there | 19:49 |

| Italian_Plumber | oh ok | 20:58 |
| kisielk_home | er nevermind | 20:58 |
| kisielk_home | it does | 20:58 |
| kisielk_home | I don't think that kind of thing would automatically restart it though | 20:58 |
| Italian_Plumber | usually the update process restarts servers that it updates, iirc | 21:01 |
| blistov | I've removed a package via apt-get remove foo, but I did not use the --purge option. How can I remove all the files --purge would have removed? | 21:14 |

| kisielk_home | Italian_Plumber: well, openssh-server wasn't updated.. I guess that's why | 21:18 |

| angel12 | hey guys, im trying to setup an smtp server that will be able to act as an smtp server for some scanners that are off site to send emails of scanned items to email addresses, i am trying to use postfix at the moment, and when i try to send an email from thunderbird on another workstation on a different subnet i get "relay access denied" | 21:37 |
| angel12 | any ideas? | 21:37 |
| blistov | ScottK, no other way huh? | 21:47 |
| blistov | goddamnit. installing sendmail removes and purges postfix. | 21:48 |
| blistov | And purge doesn't remove sendmail configs. | 21:50 |
| blistov | grr. | 21:50 |
| ScottK | Installing sendmail doesn't purge postfix | 22:11 |
| lamont | ScottK: it removes it | 22:13 |
| lamont | Provides/Conflicts mail-transport-agent in both cases | 22:13 |
| ScottK | lamont: Right, it removes, not purges. | 22:13 |
| lamont | right | 22:13 |
| ScottK | So he can reinstall sendmail, purge it, reinstall postfix and have his postfix config back. | 22:14 |

| miranda_ | hello, I am experiencing very strange issue with my fan, its a laptop, it looks like the fan speed gets STUCK, and even if there are no processes and cpu temp goes back to 55C for example, the fan still is full on | 22:38 |
| miranda_ | what should i start to look for? | 22:39 |
| miranda_ | any ideas on how to find out whats going on? | 22:39 |
| miranda_ | hello? | 22:41 |
| DasEi | miranda_: first thing would be to look in bios, that it it's set to allow control at all | 22:42 |
| lyhana8 | did you check for dust in your fan miranda_? | 22:42 |
| miranda_ | lyhana8, yeah, been cleaned, and airdusted | 22:42 |
| DasEi | miranda_: next install lm-sensors , run sensors-detect | 22:42 |
| miranda_ | DasEi, I believe no bios options, its one of those basic bios | 22:43 |
| miranda_ | sensors-detect its quite an impressive thing | 22:44 |
| DasEi | miranda_: most let you set it, least modes, specially on lappys (batt) ; http://tinyurl.com/y9lzuep | 22:44 |
| miranda_ | but nvclock said i cannot control fan speed | 22:45 |
| miranda_ | that my card does not support it | 22:45 |
| DasEi | miranda_: nvclock is for chipset, follow given hints and the link, ask, when you get stuck | 22:46 |
| miranda_ | yeah, cool | 22:48 |
| miranda_ | thats quite useful | 22:48 |
| miranda_ | im just restarting my server | 22:48 |
| miranda_ | just meanwhile... what you think of using a laptop as media center/lamp server? | 22:48 |
| miranda_ | am i crazy? | 22:48 |
| miranda_ | i just believe its the best thing ever, it suits my needs perfectly, and does not require that much of space, and its silent! and fits perfectly under my tv | 22:50 |
| miranda_ | wow, thats a great start... | 22:51 |
| miranda_ | /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed | 22:51 |
