[00:00] <sub> Roxyhart0: sudo iptables -L
[00:01] <Roxyhart0> it work with ufw or something like that isnt'?
[00:02] <sub> iptables -L should still tell you, but you can also do sudo ufw status
[00:02] <Roxyhart0> if i want to desactivate this firewall?
[00:03] <sub> sudo ufw disable if it's using that
[00:03] <Roxyhart0> apparently i am using iptables, it is installed automatically
[00:04] <sub> then sudo iptables -F
[00:04] <sub> all of this information is in the man pages
[00:05] <Roxyhart0> yes i am reading ...still i am so bad following "man"
[00:05] <Roxyhart0> thanks a lot sub
[00:06] <ujjain> your firewall will probably reset on reboot.
[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] <mdeslaur> kirkland: never mind, I figured out the problem
[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.
[02:03] <Roxyhart0> hi i need to reconfigure my nss and pam and dpkg-reconfigure doesnt work, how i can do it manually?
[02:05] <savid> jmarsden, interesting,   an strace on dpkg-reconfigure shows this:  http://dpaste.com/156005/
[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?
[02:10] <pmatulis> savid: pastebin your locale settings (command: locale)
[02:10] <Roxyhart0> hi whwn i do dpkg-reconfiure libnss-ldap i got this error: Running nssldap-update-ignoreusers.any idea?
[02:11] <savid> pmatulis,  http://dpaste.com/156009/
[02:12] <pmatulis> savid: please study bug 162517
[02:12] <savid> pmatulis,  I had trouble with my locale in the bigging..  I ran   locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8; dpkg-reconfigure locales a little while ago
[02:12] <savid> pmatulis, thanks, I'll check it out
[03:01] <Roxyhart0> hi how i can know my nss-ldap configuration?
[03:01] <Roxyhart0> before i did the configuration in a ldap.conf file but now is not coming any more?
[03:08] <savid> Uhhh..  why do I get "unknown host" when I do "ping localhost"
[03:08] <savid> localhost is in my /etc/hosts file
[03:08] <savid> points to 127.0.0.1
[03:47] <osmosis> does libvirts  domifstat have a rx_bytes and tx_bytes limit somewhere around 4,160,279?
[04:02] <sabgenton> !cups
[04:02] <sabgenton> !cups server
[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.
[06:23] <Roxyhart0> yes because this is a old ubuntu 9.04
[06:23] <Roxyhart0> which is working
[06:32] <jmarsden> Roxyhart0: You are asking questions, and then when you get an answer, you seem to ignore the answer, and asking a different question.  This is... unhelpful, and frustrates those providing answers.  I feel as though I am wasting my time answering you tonight.  Either you are very confused, or you need to work on asking questions more clearly (or maybe I'm just not "getting" things today!?).
[06:35] <Roxyhart0> sorry
[06:47] <jmarsden> Roxyhart0: This might help?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryHowto#libnss-ldap
[06:47] <jmarsden> But I do not know how up to date that information is.
[06:49] <Roxyhart0> thanks yes i check it before and i will check again but i think i am so tired, so im going to the gym and then try to come back fresh...thanks a lot for your help
[06:50] <jmarsden> You're welcome.
[06:51] <twb> jmarsden: auth-client-config can turn debconf into nsswitch.conf
[06:51] <twb> (As a pedantic counter-example.)
[06:52] <jmarsden> OK... :)
[07:57] <mathiaz> ivoks: hi!
[07:58] <ivoks> mathiaz: hi
[07:58] <ivoks> mathiaz: isn't it late at the other side of atlantic? :)
[07:58] <ball> it's 01:58 where I am.
[07:58] <mathiaz> ivoks: I'm in Brussels
[07:58] <ivoks> mathiaz: oh, same timezone :)
[07:59] <mathiaz> ivoks: yeah - won't have much time though - as I'm in a meeting all day
[07:59] <ivoks> ok
[07:59] <mathiaz> ivoks: I spoke with Fabio yesterday during FOSDEM
[07:59] <ivoks> then just agree to my arguments and that's it :D
[07:59] <ivoks> ok
[08:00] <mathiaz> ivoks: I'll have to think about it
[08:00] <mathiaz> ivoks: I'm just making everything has been considered
[08:00] <mathiaz> ivoks: making *sure*
[08:00] <ivoks> i know
[08:01] <ivoks> well, i don't know what else to say
[08:01] <ivoks> pacemaker is there and it works very well
[08:01] <mathiaz> ivoks: right
[08:01] <mathiaz> ivoks: seems like the new cluster stack is shaping well
[08:02] <ivoks> (let's call it pacemaker, even though we aren't talking just about pacemaker)
[08:02] <mathiaz> ivoks: I'm just wondering whether it's stable-ready for an LTS release
[08:02] <mathiaz> ivoks: yeah - I have an overview of the whole stack in my head
[08:03] <ivoks> you figured out corosync <-> openais relation? :D
[08:03] <ivoks> anyway, do you know what features Fabio mentioned?
[08:04] <ivoks> that are missing in pacemaker, but are available in rhcs?
[09:42] <ivoks> mathiaz: /dev/drbd0 on /opt type gfs2 - yay
[09:50] <\sh> soren: I filed bug #518742 I don't know what's going wrong...is there a vmbuilder switch to enable debug logs? (--verbose is not good enough)
[10:08] <lau> hello, my dmesg cpu is CPU0: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU W3520 @ 2.67GHz stepping 05
[10:09] <lau> and am looking for the linux kernel with hardy
[10:09] <lau> apt-cache search 'linux-kernel' returned different 64 kernels
[10:09] <lau> and I don't know which one to use
[10:10] <lau> the results of the cmd are, linux-image-2.6.24-26-server - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.24 on x86/x86_64
[10:10] <lau> linux-image-amd64-xeon
[10:11] <lau> linux-image-amd64-server
[10:11] <lau> I also read that it is good to use amd64 kernel with intel cpu? is that stil true?
[10:15] <lau> http://www.ubuntu.com/files/server/UbuntuServerBrochure804LTS.pdf
[10:16] <lau> page 6 says                                 are fully maintained in Ubuntu Server Edition.
[10:16] <lau> AMD64 and Intel64 based systems
[10:17] <maxagaz> how to debug a reverse dns problem ?
[10:17] <ivoks> almost all newer intel cpus are 64bit
[10:17] <ivoks> lau: to be precise, all with EM64T functionality
[10:18] <lau> hello ivoks, thx for your reply, I guess that linux-amd64-xeon should be my kernel from the ubuntu repos
[10:19] <ivoks> lau: yes
[10:19] <lau> but aptitude show linux-image-amd64-xeon returns Description : Upgrade dummy package. Can be removed
[10:19] <ivoks> lau: that's old name for the kernel
[10:20] <ivoks> lau: just install linux-server and that's it
[10:20] <ivoks> if you installed 64bit version of ubuntu, you'll have 64bit kernel
[10:20] <ivoks> mathiaz: depends on the problem
[10:21] <ivoks> er...
[10:21] <ivoks> maxagaz: depends on the problem
[10:21] <ewook> ivoks: my hero, care to take on a almost non server related question? :)
[10:21] <ivoks> ewook: try me :)
[10:21] <ewook> ivoks: good with converting / calculating subnets?
[10:22] <ivoks> ewook: there are tools for that
[10:22] <ewook> ivoks: well, I can't make 'em do what I want / need
[10:23] <ewook> ivoks: to shorten the span.. : 83.188.192.1 - 83.188.255.255, that's the range I need to have a mask for.
[10:24] <ewook> with my low knowledge, I'm guessing that's a b-class, but .. ya..
[10:34] <ivoks> i guess you ment 83.188.192.0 - 83.188.255.255
[10:35] <ivoks> that would be 83.188.192.0/18
[10:35] <ivoks> Netmask:   255.255.192.0
[10:42] <ewook> ivoks: http://krow.net/dict/subnet.html . so , yes, it's a /18 :)
[10:43] <ewook> that was the best site ever. those calculators just gives me headaches :P
[10:44] <ivoks> what's wrong with ipcalc?
[10:44] <ivoks> ipcacl 83.188.192.0 - 83.188.255.255
[10:44] <ivoks> ipcalc `ipcacl 83.188.192.0 - 83.188.255.255`
[10:46] <ivoks> almost :)
[11:19] <ewook> ivoks: I didn't have it, that was the wrong part :)
[12:59] <c0dem4gnetic> im (or will be) using a bunch of virtualized servers in my environment... could anyone hint me in a direction where i could allow my users on the virtualized machines to authenticate against the host? that is, if the host has an user account then that account can also be used in a virtual machine
[12:59] <c0dem4gnetic> other than ldap :)
[13:00] <c0dem4gnetic> im thinking PAM but cant really figure out what approach i should have
[13:03] <philsturgeon> hey guys. i have installed openssh-server and im trying to get private keys setup
[13:03] <philsturgeon> i have created the keys on the client end and i want to add them to the server. how?
[13:09] <c0dem4gnetic> guessing you insert the public key to /home/username/.ssh/authorized_keys
[13:11] <lau> philsturgeon: man ssh-copy-id
[13:11] <philsturgeon> lau: client id a mac
[13:12] <philsturgeon> lau: think i got it now
[13:18] <soren> \sh: --debug is your friend.

[13:20] <soren> ivoks: Hey, dude.
[13:20] <ivoks> zul: bowl
[13:21] <zul> hey ivoks
[13:36] <MatBoy> _ruben: man, how are you ?
[13:57] <zul> lamont: ping a valid hostname for postfix doesnt have a "." at the end right?
[14:22] <zul> soren: what do you think of bug #517478 upstream said the patches that we have for netcat are not good
[14:26] <koolhead17> hi all
[14:26] <koolhead17> :)
[14:28] <sponzor> i m installing ubuntu server and it is at 25% setting users and passwords... about 10 minutes now did it crashed or is that normal?
[14:55] <smoser> kirkland, ping
[14:55] <kirkland> smoser: who dat?
[14:57] <smoser> bah to you
[14:57] <smoser> :)
[14:57] <smoser> anyeay
[14:57] <smoser> anyway
[14:58] <smoser> i thought you had said you'd done the archive admin acceptance to universe for cloud-utils
[14:58] <smoser> but its still pending
[14:58] <smoser> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+queue?queue_state=0&queue_text=&start=30
[14:59] <soren> zul: I don't know what Guido is up to. I added netcat-openbsd to Debian two years ago to avoid this.
[15:00] <zul> soren: ok thanks
[15:04] <smoser> kirkland, ^^
[15:04] <kirkland> smoser: i had accepted it ... let me check
[15:07] <\sh> guys, is there an easy way to see what vmbuilder is doing when adding grub to the disk images, when creating the vms? I don't see any possibility to debug why it fails to boot when having a /boot partition separated from the rootfs ... (bug #518742)
[15:11] <Boevik> with php mail function, does anyone know which log file is used ?
[15:37] <lamont> zul: depends on your definitons...
[15:37] <lamont> fully-quallified domain names end with a trailing dot, to anchor them.  many programs believe that there shouldn't be a trailing dot.
[15:38] <zul> lamont: newaliases is complaining about the trailing dot i think
[15:38] <lamont> the resolver library makes a WAG at whether or not to try the search list (is it an FQDN?) based on how many dots are in the name
[15:38] <lamont> MTAs are pretty universal in not wanting trailing dots
[15:38] <savid> Why in the world would I get "unknown host" when I do "ping localhost"?
[15:38] <savid> my /etc/hosts shows 127.0.0.1     localhost localhost.localdomain
[15:39] <lamont> savid: nsswitch.conf?
[15:39] <savid> lamont, http://dpaste.com/156160/
[15:39] <zul> lamont: gotcha thanks
[15:40] <lamont> savid: good question then... strace might be helpful
[15:42] <savid> lamont, http://dpaste.com/156162/     Not sure how to read that :-P
[15:45] <lamont> open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC)  = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) <-- savid: chmod 644 /etc/hosts
[15:45] <savid> ahh,  didn't see that :-)  thanks!

[16:05] <panter> hi all .. i have problem with automounting NFS4 shares on boot ... i added NFS shares to /etc/fstab .. manualy is everything working .. but after reboot automount doesn't work .... any ideas?
[16:16] <Xpistos|work> Hey can someone give me hand. I can't get SSH'd into my server
[16:16] <Xpistos|work> I can get in through webmin and pull up a command prompt however
[16:16] <Xpistos|work> Webmin shows that there is not ssh server running?
[16:18] <Xpistos|work> I tried "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart"  but no luck
[16:19] <panter> Xpistos|work, what was output of your last command?
[16:19] <Xpistos|work> sorry
[16:19] <Xpistos|work> I am an idiot
[16:20] <Xpistos|work> The port forward wasn't changed to the correct ip
[16:20] <Xpistos|work> it helps when you trouble shoot easiest to hardest
[16:20]  * Xpistos|work feels like an idiot
[16:25] <panter> any idea about my NFS issue?
[16:44] <ivoks> panter: yes
[16:44] <ivoks> panter: ubuntu 9.10?
[16:44] <panter> ivoks, yes .. karmic
[16:44] <ivoks> panter: add mount -a to /etc/rc.local :(
[16:45] <ivoks> filesystems are mounted before network and network services are up
[16:45] <Xpistos|work> panter: what problem are you having with NFS?
[16:46] <panter> ivoks, i think that there is  _netdev option for this problem, or not?
[16:46] <panter> Xpistos|work, i have problem with automounting NFS4 shares on boot ... i added NFS shares to /etc/fstab .. manualy is everything working .. but after reboot automount doesn't work
[16:47] <panter> ivoks, ok .. if it is the only solution .. i'll try
[16:47] <ivoks> panter: it's a bug in upstart
[16:47] <panter> ivoks, ok . thanks a lot ..
[16:47] <philien1> Hi, after the installation I lost my password, what can i do ?
[16:47] <ivoks> i didn't have time to investigate why and how, but rc.local fixes the issue
[16:47] <philien1> What is the root password
[16:48] <ivoks> philien1: there's no root password
[16:48] <ivoks> philien1: you can boot live cd
[16:48] <philien1> But server (in recorvery mode) ask to a root password
[16:48] <ivoks> then you set root password
[16:49] <guntbert> philien1: ubuntu server? never
[16:49] <philien1> But i never set a root password
[16:49] <guntbert> philien1: what is the prompt you get?
[16:49] <philien1> guntbert : Yes it's an ubuntu server
[16:50] <philien1> Give your root password for maintnance or type ctrl-D for resume
[16:52] <guntbert> philien1: did you get file system errors just before that?
[16:53] <philien1> guntbert: No I just lost my password just after the install
[16:54] <smoser> kirkland, mind if i tag https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/euca2ools/+bug/517871 as milestone alpha3 ?
[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
[17:02] <jalons> In sudoers if I turn on mail_always, is it possible to exclude one user (a system account that runs) from notifications being sent out?

[17:31] <kirkland> smoser: go for it
[17:32] <smoser> kirkland, so, thats the beginning of the possibly large set of "euca2ools fix for boto 1.9" bugs
[17:33] <kirkland> smoser: k
[17:33] <smoser> i have a patch attached to it. and you can take if you'd like.
[17:33] <kirkland> smoser: i'll get to it, though that's a bit further down in my queue today
[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
[17:59] <sherringham> aptitude has a "reinstall" option as well - might work
[18:33] <sponzor> is there any good howto set up iptables for ubuntu server?

[19:13] <lamont> mebbe not
[20:24] <sponzor> the ubuntu uses apache.conf and no httpd.conf?

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.
[21:00] <jon23d> kk, trying now, ty
[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)
[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?
[21:44] <sherringham> image_q: ifconfig -a (perhaps)
[21:44] <image_q> 96.56.144.156, 255.255.255.248
[21:44] <image_q> respectivel
[21:45] <image_q> I put in 96.56.144.7 as my broadcast ip
[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> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerManagement#How%20to%20get%20disks%20to%20spin%20down%20and%20idle%20correctly%20%28without%20excessive%20load%20cycling%29
[21:46] <ajavid> is not very clear to me
[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> and I cant reach the internet
[21:48] <image_q> this is weird
[21:49] <ajavid> /dev/sdb1: setting standby to 0 (off)
[21:49] <ajavid> so /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.
[21:55] <ajavid> $>sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda1 | grep -i power Advanced power management level: 254
[21:55] <ajavid> it won't disable advanced power management
[21:55] <ajavid> does anyone know how to disable this for hard disks?
[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
[22:20] <image_q> ok, any other ideas about what I should do?
[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
[22:40] <jon23d> tyvm
[22:46] <sherringham> jon23d: building now ... need to make space on / - 96% used now ...
[22:47] <jon23d> lol, kk, ty
[23:04] <sherringham> jon23d: .. still going .. a bit more than I expected ... my laptop is getting hot :-)
[23:04] <jon23d> yeah, its quite a process
[23:04] <jon23d> it really sucks...
[23:04] <jon23d> thanks so much
[23:28] <sherringham> jon23d: Phew - finished - that's a lot of code .. :-)
[23:29] <sherringham> It seems to have worked for me
[23:29] <jon23d> bah
[23:29] <sherringham> No obvious error at the end
[23:29] <sherringham> Karmic 9.10 i686
[23:29] <jon23d> bah, I'll try it on another server, see what happens there
[23:30] <jon23d> thanks for trying
[23:30] <sherringham> No "ERROR" string in test-results.txt
[23:30] <sherringham> No prob. That's me for the night. Cheers.
[23:30] <jon23d> I think it may have something to do with safe mode
[23:30] <jon23d> good night!
[23:57] <Damm> meh, somehow someone overwrote the /var directory that holds the dpkg --list information... of all the packages from karmic to hardy
[23:57] <Damm> what directory is that so I can uhhm, defuck this without apt-get reinstall world?
[23:59] <Damm> eh nm i'll just reimage the box
