[01:26] pting: what does FHS 2.3 say? [01:26] IIRC it says that /media is for removable media, and /mnt is for temporary sysadmin mounts. [01:27] Personally, I would typically (ab)use /srv/ or even just /srv, since Debian Policy requires that packages leave that directory alone.

[05:45] leftyfb: do you have to .. you were the one who told me to come here and ask [05:46] go play with ferro [05:46] for general help with server related issues. Not ones that have already been answered.

I've changed the group for /var/svn to 'devs' and added write privileges to group on /var/svn. for some reason it says that i dont have permission to create folders in there. any idea why? [05:54] marshall: did you log out and back in after adding yourself to another group? [05:56] leftyfb: oh, thanks [06:05] strange how men love helping out other men.. oh well, i don't care.. I normally figure this all out on my own anyway [06:07] pradalvr: I find that a remarkably odd comment. [06:07] not me [06:09] We I've no idea what your gender is. From what was copied from the other channel, I think leftyfb is right, you've had your question answered. [06:19] do i just add "bind-address = 127.0.0.1" anywhere on the my.cnf? [06:21] I don't know. Sorry. [06:22] thats what i am talking about... strange [06:22] will you ever get a girlfriend? doubt it [06:27] hi [06:28] i have setup dns server on ubuntu 9.04 i need some help in regards with using dydns with the same is this the appropriate place to ask for the same [06:29] pradalvr: You have probably been treated roughly in other places but that kind of unpleasantness is not appropriate here. If you want to go talk to other women about it, I suggest you try the #ubuntu-women channel where they try and encourage women to get involved in Ubuntu. [06:30] Maltreatment elsewhere does not give you the right to speak to me that way. [06:30] ScottK: she might be actually looking for help, but once she gets going she's a troll [06:31] leftyfb: That's not particularly helpful either. [06:34] thank you ScottK [06:34] Btw... wants to jump up and down.. i fixed it [06:36] Congratulations [06:36] thanks.. i shocked myself [06:40] all i simply asked in the other channel was... how can i configure the php.ini file using Ubuntu.. here also.. all anyone had to type was gksudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini in the terminal. things can not be changed by going to the file like in Microsoft.. [06:41] conversation over .. instead, i decided to give my opinion about creating a game for little girls to learn the Ubuntu command line [06:41] I'm glad you worked it out. [06:41] The answer was also in what was pasted. [06:42] then i was banned because my idea seemed stupid [06:42] From #ubuntu? [06:42] no.. i would've had to read threw a bunch of things [06:43] yes on efnet [06:43] Sometimes the help you get is like that. I'll often give people a hint that will help them learn more than the precise answer for the precise issue. [06:43] I see. [06:43] You might find that idea is precisely on topic in #ubuntu-women. [06:44] why? [06:44] because women give birth and father take off [06:44] father [06:44] s [06:44] Because the purpose of that project is to work on getting more inovled in Ubuntu. [06:44] I think something like what you are suggesting would fit with that goal. [06:45] for the women? [06:45] and not the men [06:45] There are both women and men in there, but the men that are there are supportive of their goals. [06:45] It's mostly women. [06:45] smart guys [06:45] they know where to go [06:46] I'd encourage you to visit. [06:46] are you there [06:46] Yes [06:50] am i a troll ScottK [06:52] pradalvr: You were more hostile than we like here when you arrived, but I would not go that far. [06:52] Good night. [06:52] I still can't seem to get grub to install (9.10). I'm getting an error that "The 'grub' package failed to install into /target/." [06:52] I tried grub 2 and legacy grub. [06:52] thankyou.. probably after being banned [06:52] twb: I don't have any LVM or raid in use. [06:52] gnac: context, please [06:53] two lines up: 22:52:09 < gnac> I still cant seem to get grub to install (9.10). ... [06:53] gnac: why are you telling me? [06:54] I asked this question last night, and you responded, but by that time I had called it a night. [06:54] 23:40:47 #ubuntu-server: < twb> gnac: one easy way would be if you confused its module auto-detection by placing /boot on LVM on RAID [06:55] Ah. [06:55] gnac: is the installer still running? [06:55] gnac: if so, switch to vt2 and copy the contents of /proc/mounts somewhere, then pastebin it. [06:56] k one sec. [06:57] http://pastebin.com/d6f4e4aa7 [06:58] fwiw, I found option in the advanced installer to let me do most of the install over ssh. I have two ssh sessions open to the server, one the installer, one a simple shell [07:00] oh, I guess I take that back about the raid (on /) but I tried it last night with a monolithic non-lvm partitioning scheme and had the same problem. [07:00] gnac: you're using ext4. Does grub support that? [07:04] twb: yep, all of my other sabayon and gentoo systems are using /ext4 for /boot and /. It didn't use to, but it has for a little while now. [07:05] gnac: are they running the same version of grub? [07:07] what question does 9.10 use? FWIW, when I did my test run last night, I let ubuntu pick the partitioning etc and it defaults to one partition on / with ext4 [07:09] I'm using grub-0.97 here. I tried the "legacy" (non grub 2) install as well. both grub and grub 2 failed. [07:12] I could always continue without a boot loader, boot into a gentoo live cd, then install grub into the MBR from the live cd, at least to see if it works. [07:14] gnac: grub 0.97 *is* grub legacy [07:15] I'd be very surprised if grub legacy supports ext4 at all [07:17] I'm speaking to you from a computer with grub legacy and ext4 on /boot [07:17] gnac: does tune2fs -l report that ext4 features are actually in use on that /boot? [07:18] Also, #grub can help with grub-2 [07:18] twb: So I should clarify, the computer I'm typing on, is a sabayon install with grub 0.97 and ext4. [07:18] the ubuntu-server installer failed on both grub-2 and grub install. [07:18] Which version of legacy grub does ubuntu server use? [07:19] http://packages.ubuntu.com/grub-legacy [07:19] IIRC, my kubuntu netbook also uses grub and ext4 [07:19] http://packages.ubuntu.com/grub, maybe [07:20] karmic uses .97 as well [07:24] bah, now the installer is asking me to insert the cd again. I never took it out. I unmounted it and remounted it, but I cant get out of this screen. i.e. neither or works. [07:24] Perhaps I'll try again tomorrow . [08:02] How can I do what "language-selector" does from the command line? I.e., what are the needed packages for complete support for some language? [08:02] E.g. sudo apt-get install language-pack-el language-pack-gnome-el language-pack-kde-el language-support-el openoffice.org-l10n-el [08:02] (or is that kde-l10n-el instead?) Anything missing there? [08:16] Noble: the recommended solution is KVM [08:16] Noble: but there are lots of virtualization techniques, and most would work [08:19] Say I need max 3 servers [08:19] Could I use virtualbox [08:19] or is that a bad idea? [08:21] You could use virtualbox, yes. [08:21] However, Ubuntu recommends KVM. [08:21] I see. Follow me on this. [08:22] The host is also gonna be a workstation, for echonomical reasons. [08:22] Then, would virtualbox, or KVM be the best? [08:22] Virtualbox is not recommended because of the non GPL extensions, or is there something else? [08:24] Well, KVM is also endorsed by Linux and (via libvirt) Red Hat. [08:24] I personally don't approve of virtualbox because the *existence* of proprietary components indicates the project isn't committed to being a good FOSS citizen. [08:25] It also seems oriented toward deployment on single-user-laptop rather than the headless multi-user servers I care about. [08:26] Do you know if its possible to import virtual machines between for instance KVM and Virtualbox? [08:26] twb, i see [08:29] vbox is probably best when you want get virtual desktop and features needed in that [08:30] when talkin about virtualizationfor server quests, then there is Xen which has lost lately to kvm [08:31] how will it work to connect to a deamon running on a virtual machine? [08:32] I'm planning to move the MS SBS 2008 install to a virtual machine [08:32] Is that an issue? [08:39] good morning folks [08:45] Noble: dunno, I don't do Microsoft. [08:45] Neither KVM nor (I think) Virtualbox will care what kind of OS is being virtualized. [08:46] Xen, VMWare Server and OpenVZ *do* care, but I don't know if they support Microsoft products. [08:46] I noticed on my server that the Bind dns server is not running and it will not start, any ideas? [08:47] Of course, if your SBS server is exporting its display over RDP, you don't *need* to ever display its "local" screen, so KVM would be perfectly adequate [08:47] having probs with websites resolving correctly so I guess this the problem [08:47] da65: did you look at the log files? Did you turn on debugging? [08:48] no and not sure will take a look [08:48] its a fresh insall [08:48] install even [08:48] da65: that would depend on whether resolv.conf goes through your local bind service. [08:48] da65: bind is not installed on a fresh install [08:49] oh, it seems to be there but will not start, from Plesk control panel [08:49] da65: then whatever plesk gives you is not standard [08:50] is there a command to see if it is installed [08:50] isnt vbox rdp feature in binary only version? [08:50] simplexio: if the virtualized server exports RDP, then vbox wouldn't need to do anything [08:51] Other than bridging/NATting the network, that is [08:51] simplexio: I suspect you're confusing that with vbox providing its own RDP service to the virtual machine's physical keyboard/video/mouse [08:52] s/physical/emulated/ [08:52] da65: there is. [08:53] yeah. i know [08:54] umm.. well ( ihavent used) but vbox has "own" rdp server i think, attleast there is conf in GUI, then like we all kno you can run anything what you want in quest. so that what i meant === georg is now known as kwork [09:10] Contrariwise, qemu (kvm) has the ability to display the local screen/keyboard using curses, stdio or on new ptys [09:11] For me, that is FAR FAR better than rasterizing the 80x25 head that I'm talking to. [09:11] (Of course, you have to fight with gfxboot and grub-pc, but this is not too difficult.) [09:15] morning [09:25] ttx: So... A name for the team that will own the regression test build? ubuntu-server-qa? [09:25] ah [09:27] soren: yes, that sounds perfect. [09:27] * ttx feels uncreative today [09:30] ttx: Hm.. I want to make it open so as many people as possible can "subscribe" to the build failure e-mails from the ppa.. [09:30] ..but membership of the team (currently) implies ability to upload to the ppa. [09:31] hm hm [09:31] so you can't get the PPA email without the ability to break everything ? [09:31] While I don't expect anyone to add this ppa to their sources.list, it still seems undesirable. [09:31] Perhaps I'm making a big deal out of nothing. The possible impact is miniscule, I suppose. [09:32] ttx: Hmm... Well.. Heh. [09:32] ttx: I /could/ change the contact e-mail for the user in the team to that of the ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list, for instance. [09:32] would there be a way to add some gateway as a member ? [09:33] right [09:33] AFAICT, the criteria for receiving the e-mails and for being able to upload are identical. [09:33] ...except if we do the mailing list trick. [09:33] I suggest we do. [09:35] Hm, hm.. [09:35] There's still an attack vector if someone really wanted to mess with things. [09:35] Oh, no, there's not. [09:35] my bad. [09:35] Well, then we don't even need the team. [09:36] all sorted, thanks. [09:41] ttx: Darn it. [09:41] This is always so tricky. [09:41] ttx: Only one user or team can have a particular e-mail set in Launchpad. ubuntu-server already has ubuntu-server-bugs as its contact e-mail, so ubuntu-server-qa can't as well. [09:42] soren: and I'm sure it's a feature, not a coincidence :) [09:43] Screw it, I'll just let people who care join ubuntu-server-qa. [09:43] ttx: Yeah :) [09:46] ttx: Done. https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server-qa open for business. [09:47] ttx: Should I just force-add canonical-server? [09:47] I want a funny badge. [09:47] that makes sense. [09:47] Of course you do. [09:48] Invitation sent. [09:48] ttx: Only you and jiboumans can accept it these days. [09:49] looking [09:49] * jiboumans pushes ttx under the bus^W^W^W^Wvolunteers ttx [09:49] done [09:50] Neat. [09:50] * soren triggers an upload. [09:54] hi, after changing /boot/grub/menu.lst, do i need to restart grub ? [09:55] maxagaz: "restart grub" makes very little sense. grub is the bootloader. Anything you change in its configuration will only affect the boot process. [09:56] soren, ok, so i don't need to reload anything after making change in this this file, right ? [09:56] maxagaz: You need to reboot to see the changes in effect (such is the nature of bootloaders), but otherwise, no. [09:57] soren, thanks [09:57] maxagaz: Sure. [09:59] * soren likes it when PPA buildds aren't congested [10:04] ttx: http://people.canonical.com/~soren/autotest-results/default/results.html [10:04] * soren runs a larger test battery [10:06] cool. [10:06] * soren glances at uvirtbot` [10:07] is there a ubuntu-server security alert mail list I can join, I just unsubscribed from Debian one? [10:08] suprising how busy the Deb one was actually [10:09] soren++ sweet [10:15] anyone running Boinc here? [10:15] jiboumans: Making all those step files was rather tedious, but the result is pretty slick :) [10:28] hi, member:what is the best way to assign eth0 name to any adapter i choose on 9.10 [10:43] ulaas: Look in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [10:43] ulaas: If it's not immediately obvious what to do, just ask again. [10:44] soren: is it the recommended way, or a hack only? [10:44] ulaas: It's /the/ way. [10:45] That is the authoritative definition of the device<->name mapping. [10:45] thanks [10:45] sure. [10:47] ttx: Yay, first build failures trickling in. [10:47] fsvo "yay". [10:53] I want to put this controller card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815124023 in an old machine, Pentium III, running hardy. Will I have problems getting ubuntu to "recognize" the card? [11:02] Italian_Plumber1: Any particular reason you want that card? [11:02] Italian_Plumber1: If it's because it does "RAID", don't bother. [11:03] I'm looking for a card under 25, mainly. [11:03] Italian_Plumber1: prbly not, but check by the chipset /compare to known working models [11:03] Italian_Plumber1: Is it because you've used up the existing connections in the system? [11:03] raid would be nice but just an added bonus really. I'm only getting one HD to go with it. [11:04] That card doesn't actually do RAID. [11:04] no it's because the existing system has no SATA ports [11:04] Ok. [11:04] it doesn't do RAID? [11:05] If it's less than $300, there's no way it actually does RAID. [11:05] And at $300 it would be a steal. [11:05] They say they do RAID, but all they really do is provide a BIOSy kind of looking frontend for configuring software raid. [11:05] heh... well if I wanted RAID I'd buy a real NAS, not try to make my own with old crappy equipment [11:06] ..and let the OS read that information to actually do the raid thing on their behalf. [11:06] Italian_Plumber1: if you just want sata, get an adaptor for it [11:06] an adapter isn't a PCI controller card? [11:06] Hardware that actually does RAID is /expensive/. [11:07] yeah I knwo we have some at work [11:07] Italian_Plumber1: You know.. At $16 I wouldn't even bother with research. I'd just buy the thing, plug it in, and see if it worked :) [11:08] If not, it's probably a half decent door stop. [11:08] Italian_Plumber1: no, they are cheaper and you can run sata on ide with that, but check size limits of bios for that [11:08] can you point me out an example? [11:08] second [11:09] cause I had no idea that kind of thing existed [11:10] http://tinyurl.com/yb8m3qf [11:15] http://www.rexstone.de/_detail_40947.html ,sorry, missed a line [11:15] Italian_Plumber1: ^ [11:18] yeah I would guess there's a bios limit on the machine of way less than 1TB, which is the size drive I wanna put in there. [11:21] Italian_Plumber1: so a card will be the better choice, bringing own bios [11:25] * soren lunches [11:33] Italian_Plumber1: one last . if you want to boot from it, also make sure that bios is capable of scanning ( least plgnPlay option) [11:42] no I won't be booting from it [11:46] so should be no problem then, for compatability : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [11:46] Italian_Plumber1: === georg is now known as kwork [12:31] wow. there's only one SATA controller ther.

[19:44] zul: sure [19:54] Can LVM be used to create a Raid5 volume? [19:54] or do I have to use the standard Raid physical partition? [19:55] make a regular raid device first and then lvm on top ofit [19:55] on ubuntu server I can not seam to install gnome-desktop get Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [19:56] gotcha [19:56] after apt-get update get a can not find package gnome-desktop [20:00] firekool: usually means your apt mirror is not responding [20:01] or you are using a version of ubuntu that is not supported anymore [20:02] using ubuntu 9.10 default sources list [20:02] hm... [20:02] I created two partitions on each of the 4 drives [20:02] one uses 99% of the drive, the second 1% for swap [20:02] (resulting in 7.5gb of swap per drive) [20:03] I set both partitions, on all 4 drives, to be physical device for raid [20:03] now I went into lvm and setup volume groups, primary using the large 4 partitions on all 4 drives [20:03] and another volume group called swap, that uses the smaller 4 partitions on those drives [20:03] and lvm converted those partitions to 'lvm' type [20:04] thanks mjeanson your hint helped me figure out the issue [20:04] so they can no longer be used for raid [20:06] silly me put the gateway address wrong [20:06] skaag: you will have to create a raid array first with mdadm, then create a volume group on top of that [20:06] jcastro: yeah, he's aliguori in #ubuntu-virt [20:07] I see [20:12] skaag: an interresting read: http://advosys.ca/viewpoints/2007/04/setting-up-software-raid-in-ubuntu-server/ [20:20] mjeanson: I have 4 drives, and I want raid 5, would you use 3 and make the fourth a hot-spare if you were me? :-) [20:20] I can afford to sacrifice the space [20:20] then I'd go for it [20:26] so i'm using puppet to deploy mysql on an amazon ec2 instance. how do i tell apt-get to not start mysql after installing? [20:27] hum, maybe it's in one of the in one of the preseed questions or something... [20:27] no it's not [20:27] maybe you can create a file in /etc/default that tells it not to start automatically [20:28] but I can tell you for sure it doesn't ask whether or not to start the instance [20:28] at the very least it must start it to create the debian-sys-maint user [20:29] Skaag, doh, ya.. i think im gonna have to do some custom script... i'm basically trying to puppet deploy it, but the datadir is pointed to a directory that first needs to be mounted, but i want to ensure the owners of the directory is mysql:mysql, but i can't ensure that cause mysql user/group hasn't been created yet without first apt-get installing heh [20:30] you can create them [20:30] it will use them [20:30] just make sure to use the right uid/gid for it [20:31] oh, explicitly creating them.. i see.. ya should have thought about that first [20:31] then you will be sure the permissions on your mount will persist [20:31] cool, thanks [20:32] mjeanson: ok so now I have two raid devices, one is 1.5TB, another is 15GB, and they both have LVM on them [20:33] now I'm stuck not knowing how to get the first one to be the / partition, and the second one to be used as swap ;-) [20:33] good afternoon [20:33] this is all in the 9.10 server installer [20:33] so I have a 9.04 server that's been running along like a champ, but I'd like to upgrade to 9.10 for some newer packages [20:33] in desktop, you're supposed to use update-manager for upgrading releases [20:33] is there is a similar something for ubuntu server? [20:34] do-release-upgrade [20:35] awesome, thanks [20:35] anything I should be aware of before doing this? [20:35] do-release-upgrade -m server [20:35] -m? [20:36] ah, okay [20:36] does the sandbox stuff work? [20:38] skaag: first, I would go with only one raid device with lvm on top [20:46] anyone running esxi? [20:47] got a quick question on management [20:52] mjeanson: which means it can't be the root mount point [20:52] So the way to go is a small raid ext4 or ext3 partition for / [20:52] then an lvm partition for /home or /var [20:53] cab938: I'm not running ESXi currently but I have in the past, what is your question? [20:53] skaag: I tough you were adding storage to an existing server [20:53] nope this is a new install :-) [20:54] skaag: then you will need a normal partition out of lvm to boot [20:54] but I can boot from a raid partition right? [20:54] sure [20:54] with 9.10 [20:54] so i'll keep that for now [20:54] it's too simple a server to make it complicated [20:54] not sure about raid5, I used nly mirror [20:54] I mean the job it needs to do is rather simple and non-critical [20:55] well we're about to find out :-) [20:56] I don't think grub can read from a raid5 partition [20:59] hm. [20:59] crapola. [20:59] I'm screwed then. === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [21:25] mjeanson: right it doesn't boot from raid5 :-) [21:32] mjeanson: oh, ok, it somehow booted!

I spent most of my week to one of our projects from several servers (Apple XServe & Linux) into one VMWare Server 2.0.2 VM using Ubuntu Server 9.10 Server 64bit. Everything is working now, but the file systems are not unmounting properly on shutdown. On every startup I get msgs from fsck. Not sure where to start. [22:02] (gpmpf, wanted to say "to move one of our projects...") [22:04] I'm not up to date on linux, having spent most of the last years solely on Mac OS X Server, so please forgive me some basic questions. [22:06] Let's start with this one: I cannot find out in which file I can find the messages displayed on console during boot-up (fsck, etc.). At least I couldn't find them in /var/log/** and dmesg also doesn't include them. [22:09] timoh: there is no bootlog in ubuntu [22:10] ok, not good for copy&paste... [22:10] TimoH, i got you [22:10] the best you get is /var/log/kern.log but it's only the kernel messages [22:11] TimoH, its /var/log/boot [22:12] TimoH, /var/log/dmesg is next [22:12] TimoH, /var/log/fsck if related to that [22:12] wait a minute, this dreaded vmware "web" console is not working nurrently... (argh) [22:13] TimoH: mjeanson you can enable the boot log by editing /etc/default/bootlogd [22:13] TimoH, you need to clear the browser cache and reopen the browser [22:13] you are a lucky man, i just happen to be an ubuntu expert on vmware [22:14] guntbert: Thanks. Changed and rebooting now. [22:14] TimoH: Good luck :-) [22:14] guntbert: I'm pretty sure it's broken on hardy, not sure about newer versions [22:15] mjeanson: maybe - but in newer versions it is disabled by default too - hence my hint :) [22:17] guntbert: yeah, the initscripts are provided by the initscripts package but the bootlog package doesn't exist [22:18] there are a lot of longstanding bootlog bugs in launchpad [22:18] mjeanson: well in karmic there I have it [22:20] guntbert: I was reffering to hardy, good to know about karmic [22:20] (have a local "emergency": daughther vomits, BRB, thx for your help) [22:21] how polite [22:21] we need more of that in the linux world === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [22:48] Does ext3 track the file creation time as well as the modified and accessed times?

So let's try again: [23:31] I installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 into a VMWare Server 2.0.2 VM. [23:32] I haven't used Linux for quite a while, so I mostly went with the defaults during installation (LVN & ext4) [23:33] Now that all of my apps are working fine, I have the problem, that the file systems are not unmounted cleanly on shutdown. [23:34] And I have no idea where to start searching. [23:34] Anyone? === viezerd_ is now known as viezerd === Guest52559 is now known as stew [23:44] mathiaz: Thanks.
