[00:17] <sarthor> Hi, I configured PPPoE-server with the help of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=291926 , as this url says that you have to add each user as a regular users to your linux, Like , "adduser xyz" it create the home directory also each time. I dont want to add users like this , just wanna add users to pap or chat file in /etc/ppp/ directory, How can i? Need help please

[00:29] <sarthor> how can i redirect my LAN clients all browsing requests 192.168.0.1/24 to a web server running on 192.168.0.100 on my lan, Using iptbales
[01:39] <savid> Hi, I'm trying to get postgresql to run on my server, and when I run the ubuntu init script for postgres,  nothing happens.  No errors, server doesn't start.  How do I debug this?
[01:43] <savid> Nothing in the error logs either
[01:45] <pmatulis> savid: apply the strace command to the init script (man strace)
[01:45] <jmarsden> savid: sudo bash -x /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 start    # may give you an idea where in the init script things are going wrong
[01:49] <savid> hmm.. looks like the conf file doesn't exist...
[01:51] <jmarsden> savid: If this is a new install, sudo apt-get purge postgresql-8.3  && sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.3   # may fix that for you?
[01:51] <savid> yeah, new install.  I'll try that
[01:52] <savid> jmarsden,  nope it still didn't set up a conf file for me
[01:54] <jmarsden> savid: Karmic Server?  Seemed to work for me here... odd.  I need to go AFK for a while, may be back later; might try a fresh Karmic Server install in a VM to see if that sheds any light, but not right now...
[01:54] <savid> Yeah, karmic
[01:57] <savid> Is there a different package for postgresql server other than "postgresql"?
[01:59] <savid> ARGH this should not be this difficult
[01:59] <jmarsden> savid: sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.4    # Just works for me here.
[02:00] <savid> jmarsden,  and you see the conf file in /etc?
[02:01] <savid> makes no sense at all
[02:01] <jmarsden> I see the server start up automatically :)
[02:02] <jmarsden> And a bunch of config files under /etc/postgresql/8.4/main/
[02:02] <jmarsden> But now I really have to go... back later I hope.

[02:09] <savid> What is the purpose of the files in /var/lib/dpkg/info?   How do I restore files that are missing from there?

[05:53] <Roxyhart0> hi please sombody can tell me where is the configuration for libnss now? before i did the configuration in the file ldap.conf, but now is not anymore
[05:58] <jmarsden> Roxyhart0: libnss has always been configured using /etc/nsswitch.conf  (as far as I know).
[05:59] <Roxyhart0> i mean when i do dpkg-reconfigure i need to wrote many things, where are this information
[06:01] <jmarsden> That's a TOTALLY different question.  Which is confusing.  Info stored by debconf goes into the debconf database, see man 7 debconf
[06:02] <jmarsden> You can sudo apt-get install debconf-utils and then use debconf-show to see what is stored for each package, if that helps you.
[06:05] <Roxyhart0> i am wondering why when i do getent password is just shows me the local useras and not ldap. when i do wbinfo it work fine
[06:12] <twb> jmarsden: wouldn't you use debconf-list-selections?
[06:14] <jmarsden> twb: Hmmm.  On my Karmic desktop here I don't have debconf-list-selections but I do have debconf-show .  Did the names of the utilities change?
[06:15] <twb> Er, -get-selections
[06:15] <twb> That just dumps the entire database
[06:16] <Roxyhart0> i dont undertsand what ar eyou talking about :S
[06:18] <jmarsden> Roxyhart0: You asked: <Roxyhart0> i mean when i do dpkg-reconfigure i need to wrote many things, where are this information
[06:18] <Roxyhart0> before i did some configuration in a file ldap.conf which contend somethink like that http://pastebin.com/d3dc68a73. where i could set this informatin now?
[06:18] <jmarsden> debconf-show and debconf-get-selections are ways to see that information.
[06:19] <Roxyhart0> sorry about the spelling
[06:19] <jmarsden> That's not configuring libnss, and it is not info stored as a result of dpkg-reconfigure either.

[16:54] <uvirtbot> Launchpad bug 517871 in euca2ools "euca-describe-volumes fails in lucid" [High,Triaged]
[16:54] <guntbert> philien1: that means you did set a root password or are you talking about your user password?
[16:55] <philien1> guntbert: a root password
[16:56] <guntbert> philien1: you should not do that :)  - does your system boot fine in "normal mode"?
[16:57] <philien1> gunbert: no i do this to reset MY password
[17:01] <guntbert> philien1: best way of handling: boot from a live CD, mount your ubuntu partition, chroot into it (see http://www.nistor.co.uk/2009/12/chroot-into-ubuntu-from-debian/ ), and then reset your password

[17:33] <smoser> no problem.
[17:37] <savid> I think I messed up my one of my postgresql conf files.  How can I get ubuntu to replace it with the default?
[17:37] <savid> I tried dpkg-reconfigure postgresql,  but that didn't do it
[17:42] <ivoks> take care... 'night
[17:45] <bogeyd6> savid, download and extract the package

[20:54] <jon23d>  Hello, I'm trying to get the updated GD library working on an ubuntu server, but am having issues.  I am following the instructions here: http://www.howtoforge.com/recompiling-php5-with-bundled-support-for-gd-on-ubuntu , but after running dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot I get: dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
[21:00] <sherringham> Try and build it without any rules mods - sanity check your environment. If that works, but the build fails when you adjust the rules file, you know where to look.

[21:12] <dereks> hi all. i am going to be running a headless home server for my home (to SSH into, backup, and a bunch of other small tasks). i am assuming an ubuntu-minimal install would suit me better, just want to make sure thoguh. would there be any reason you can think of for ubuntu server if i am not really looking to run a web server, db server, email server, etc...
[21:13] <sherringham> You don't need to install stuff web,db etc. - you have a choice - server version would be better if headless - assuming no X required
[21:13] <kusznir> Hi all: I'm trying to create a ubuntu domU on my xen hvm server.  I've been trying with the 9.10 x86_64 dvd iso.  I've got it loading the cd menu (language, etc), but when I select "Install ubuntu", my display hangs (the menu is cleared, a flashing cursor shows up for about 1 sec, then all that remains is the F1... stuff on the bottom of the screen), and the CPU uses 100% of one core until I kill the DomU.  Any suggestions?
[21:14] <dereks> sherringham: is there a list of what comes on server by default?
[21:16] <dereks> sherringham: and why is it better than the "minimal" install (ie, mini.iso)
=== erichammond1 is now known as erichammond
[21:18] <sponzor> is ext4 bugy or is it ok now?
[21:19] <sherringham> dereks: why is it better - maybe it isn't :-) I am not familiar with minimal - go for it. You can install what you need afterwards easily anyway.
[21:24] <sherringham> sponzor: current ext4 is considered "production" quality now.
[21:24] <sponzor> what about the /boot should be on ext4 or ext3? i did all partitions on ext4 and the /boot on ext3 is that ok?
[21:25] <image_q> how do I get the broadcast ip and the network ip to put into the /etc/network/interfaces file?
[21:25] <image_q> do I get it from my provider>?
[21:26] <dereks> sherringham: where can i get a list of what is installed on ubuntu-server by default?
[21:27] <sherringham> dereks: I don't know - there's sme info here :
[21:27] <sherringham> http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/techspecs
[21:27] <sherringham> But is is more about what's available.
[21:28] <sherringham> Remember - you can install a very minimal base.
[21:29] <dereks> sherringham: thanks
[21:32] <image_q> does anyone know a site that guides you with the tcp/ip networking that is easy to understand?
[21:38] <sherringham> image_q: Try https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html
[21:39] <sherringham> Or : http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/network-administrator/
[21:40] <image_q> I  believe I've done all that stuff correctly, but for some reason when I do ifconfig the Bcast ip address is different from what I put into the interfaces file
[21:40] <image_q> do I get my broadcast ip from my business internet provider?
[21:40] <image_q> same question for the network id?
[21:42] <image_q> and when I use "route -n" I don't see anything there
[21:43] <Jeeves_> image_q: What is your ip?
[21:44] <Jeeves_> And what is your submask?

[21:45] <ajavid> hi
[21:45] <ajavid> I'm on ubuntu server 9.10 and I would like to know how to prevent my hard disks from being spun-down
[21:45] <Jeeves_> image_q: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/372060/
[21:45] <ajavid> in other words, I DO NOT want Ubuntu to spin down my drives, ever.
[21:45] <ajavid> I do not wish this power management
[21:46] <ajavid> how can I have this?
[21:46] <ajavid> Please advise

[21:46] <ajavid> it applies to laptops
[21:46] <image_q> thanks I'll try that
[21:47] <osmosis> do the values returned from  virsh domifstat   have a max value where it resets to 0?
[21:47] <sherringham> Jeeves: ipcalc - forgot about that :-) I used a web based calc.
[21:48] <image_q> Jeeves_: I put that in but it still gives me the Bcast of 159
[21:48] <image_q> I restarted networking of course

[21:48] <image_q> this is weird
[21:49] <ajavid> /dev/sdb1: setting standby to 0 (off)

[21:49] <ajavid> if used with hdparm -S 0 (man hdparm)
[21:49] <ajavid> says 0 will turn it off
[21:49] <ajavid> do I have to restart my server for this to take effect?
[21:49] <ajavid> or remount the disk?
[21:50] <ajavid> A value of zero means "timeouts are disabled": the
[21:50] <ajavid> device will not automatically enter standby mode.

[21:56] <sherringham> image_q: describe your net connection - ethernet/eth0 -> router or switch? Where did you get the 96.56.144.156 address?
[21:57] <image_q> router
[21:58] <image_q> optimum online
[21:58] <image_q> its a business network
[21:59] <image_q> I added auto eth0 to the interfaces file (it accidentally had a # in front) and whenever I restart it gives me the message "Failed to bring up eth0"
[22:01] <image_q> I try to add it with "route add -net 96.56.144.156 gw xx.xx.xx.xx dev eth0"
[22:01] <image_q> but I get the message SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument
[22:02] <image_q> (the xx.xx.xx.xx is my gateway address I got from the company)
[22:03] <sherringham> gw : 96.56.144.153 / broadcast : 96.56.144.159 / IP : 96.56.144.156 ?
[22:04] <image_q> yes
[22:04] <sherringham> show /etc/network/inerfaces : http://pastebin.com/
[22:05] <image_q> alright hold on
[22:07] <image_q> http://pastebin.com/m496efe6c
[22:07] <nvme> is there any way i can recover a lost password, using 9.10 in a VM
[22:08] <sherringham> imageq: take the /29 off network
[22:08] <nvme> (only 1 user on the installation, no root pass)
[22:08] <image_q> already did that
[22:08] <sherringham> *image_q ...
[22:08] <image_q> same thing happens
[22:09] <image_q> it still gives me the message "Failed to bring up eth0" when I try to restart
[22:10] <sherringham> image-q: some are 244 - some 144?
[22:11] <sherringham> Should all be 144
[22:11] <sherringham> (except mask)
[22:11] <image_q> thats just a typo on my part
[22:11] <image_q> I'm using a separate computer so I cant copy/paste
[22:11] <image_q> they're all 144 on the server
[22:12] <image_q> (except mask)
[22:13] <sherringham> Is the network h/w OK? i.e. module loaded and h/w found? i.e. sudo grep eth0 /var/log/dmesg
[22:14] <image_q> ah it says there is a problem
[22:15] <image_q> "forcedeth 0000:00:0f:0: ifname eth0, PHY OUI 0x732 @ 1m addr (mac add)
[22:15] <image_q> and then
[22:15] <image_q> eth0: no link during initialization
[22:15] <image_q> eth0: link is not ready
[22:17] <image_q> any guesses as to what I should do? should I reinstall linux?
[22:17] <image_q> I recently added a second ethernet card, maybe thats why this happened?
[22:17] <sherringham> image_q: not so quick on reinstall - almost certainly not
=== gary_ is now known as Guest49904
[22:20] <image_q> ok, any other ideas about what I should do?
=== Guest49904 is now known as garymc
[22:22] <sherringham> image_q: Is the other eth device installed and available?
[22:22] <image_q> I have 2 internet cards atm yes
[22:25] <sherringham> image_q: I'm just wondering whether you should consider getting the gw working with the original (m/board) ethernet i.e. configure without the other device - in case it's the problem.
[22:25] <sherringham> i.e. physically remove temporarily - while you test
[22:25] <image_q> it was working before
[22:26] <sherringham> And stopped when you added the 2nd device?
[22:26] <image_q> but I configured it with a different ip/gateway
[22:26] <image_q> no I'm trying to put this on a different ip/different gateway etc
[22:26] <sherringham> Well - you see where I'm going ... simplify config and test
[22:26] <image_q> when I changed it it stopped working
[22:26] <image_q> so you think I should remove the second device, and reconfig it?
[22:30] <image_q> I think I'll just reinstall it, this machine doesn't have anything special on it anyway
[22:31] <sherringham> OK - not sure what to suggest (other than take 2nd dev out and re-check)
[22:31] <image_q> yeah it will take me the same amount of time to just reinstall it
[22:31] <image_q> thanks
[22:31] <sherringham> Good luck
[22:34] <jon23d> sherringham, I tried building without any mods, but it still failed
[22:35] <jon23d> I found this in test-results.txt: ERROR: invalid PHP executable specified by TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE  = ./apache2-build/sapi/cli/php
[22:37] <sherringham> jon23d: not sure - what is that file? : file ./apache2-build/sapi/cli/php
[22:38] <jon23d> if I had to guess I would say the php command line interface generated by the build
[22:39] <sherringham> Yes - but is it "valid" as per "file"? I am not a PHP person I'm afraid (or dpkg-buildpackage actually)
[22:39] <sherringham> Any other errors or warning earlier?
[22:39] <jon23d> well, not sure, I've never done this before!  I can tell you this though, when I run the file (./apache2-build/sapi/cli/php -f "echo 'hi';"), it works
[22:40] <sherringham> OK
[22:40] <jon23d> yeah, there were also warnings about it not liking running in safe mode
[22:40] <sherringham> Maybe I will try it quickly .. hold on
