Zombie-GazCan someone please tell me why I get a "sudo: unable to resolve host dante" whenever I run sudo ("dante" is the name of my machine)? Where can I just remove "dante" as my host - I want the machine to be called "dante" but don't need it to try and resolve that as the hostname.01:10
jpdsZombie-Gaz: Sounds like something wrong with /etc/hosts or /etc/hostname.01:14

echosystmhi guys01:53
echosystmwhats the difference between ubuntu normal and ubuntu server?01:53
echosystmis it a different kernel?01:53
pmatulisechosystm: yes, a different kernel b/c there are different kernel options set02:06
echosystmi usually get a lot of problems in a dist-upgrade02:08
echosystmbut 10.04 is goign to be released in the near future02:08
echosystmwould it be bad to jsut start running the pre-release now?02:08
echosystmthis server isnt mission critical so bugs are... tolerable02:09
echosystmi just dont want to have to reinstall the os once supprot for 9.10 ends02:09
twbechosystm: that really depends on whether you're capable of dealing with bugs when they arise.02:15
echosystmi'd just wait it out until someone else fixes it :P02:17
twbWhere the bug is something like "does not boot"?02:37
echosystmok maybe i wont run 10.04 until its out then :P02:47
echosystmdist upgrade on 6 vms is going to be fun lol02:47
echosystmahwell02:48
twbYou should just be able to map operaions over the VMs in parallel.02:48
twb*operations02:48
twbBut IIRC Ubuntu has some other stupid upgrade tool you're supposed to use instead of dist-upgrade.02:49

MTecknologytime to go back to learning how to work with kvm04:19
MTecknologyhere we go -  sudo ubuntu-vm-builder kvm karmic --domain kalliki.com --dest /virt/images/ --arch amd64 --hostname carpo --mem 768 --user michael --pass GR3en --addpkg vim openssh-server --libvirt qemu:///system ;04:31

MTecknologytwb: oh.. just skip the --libvirt part?04:32
twbMTecknology: I mean that ubuntu-vm-builder isn't kvm04:32

aaroncan some one help me under stand ubuntu cloud setup?  is it like terminal services where you login to a remote computer?07:55
erichammondaaron: Are you wanting to use somebody else's hardware (e.g., Amazon EC2) or your own hardware?08:24
aaronmy own08:25
aaronI want to setup a private cloud.  im not sure if its just sharing web apps or if its like a remote desktop system for linux08:26
aaronive researched and everything is just non detailed when it comes to exactly how it sets up and works08:28
aaronerichammond: I'm wanting to experiment I have installed the ubuntu server cloud and dont know what to do next. I dont know how to configure or even what I can do with it. I just found my self setting in a shell not knowing what to do next.08:36
KurtKrautaaron, could you paste the result you get with uname -a after this install:08:39
KurtKrautaaron, ?08:39
aaronI no longer have the system installed.08:42
KurtKrautaaron, IMHO, 'cloud' is just a buzz word. It is just a word to make people belive that Ubuntu has something special, new and unique. It is probably just a kernel compile in a optimized way to run as a guest on Xen, VMware, Amazon EC2 and other virtualized system.08:43
aaronI dont have a understanding of what a cloud server is I get the consecpt but dont know if its just a app server by web page or a desktop you login to08:43
sherringhamaaron: it is hard ot explain and it is too early on Sunday morning :-)08:45
sherringhamTry : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing08:45
sherringhamPlus - it is somewhat ill-defined sometimes ....08:46
aaronwhen I did the server install it had an option to install cloud server. ive looked for tutroils but just find info that cloud computing is remote service hosting apps and services08:46
aaronill look at the link08:46
aaronwhat im worndering is if its like terminal services where you can login to it and get a desktop08:48
aaronis it like having you OS installed on a remote system?08:49
sherringhamaaron: yes, you can that.08:54
aaronhow? is there a step by step how to on this?08:58
aaronthis is vary confusing based on what I have ready a cloud can be any thing. its two wide of a subject and there ant much doc on how to set any thing up well at lest I ant found any thing yet09:01
aaroneverything I have found about cloud computing tries to explain what it is and fails to explain how to get it working.09:03
aaronSome end results examples would be nice too.09:04
aaronThanks.  Ill try asking again some time when it ant so late.09:08

KamaLHello.. linux noob here. I have a VPS with ubuntu server 9.10-x86. How can install a GUI to be able to connect to it remotely as a remote desktop?15:30
KamaLi tried: apt-get install gnome15:33
KamaLbut i get: E: Couldn't find package gnome15:33
dvheumenKamaL, you can always search through the packages with 'apt-cache search gnome'15:36
KamaL?15:36
dvheumenI'm not sure about all the packages you need, but you need at least 'gdm' and ... I'm still looking for the correct gnome package15:37
dvheumenah right15:37
dvheumentry 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop', then you'll get the full ubuntu desktop set15:37
KamaLReading package lists... Done15:38
KamaLBuilding dependency tree... Done15:38
KamaLE: Couldn't find package ubuntu-desktop15:38
KamaLdo i have to download it first ?15:38
KamaLany idea?15:40
dvheumenmake sure that /etc/apt/sources.list contains at least the standard ubuntu repositories. You might want to look at the standard documentation on how to do that15:41
dvheumenand after the repositories are entered in sources.list, run 'sudo apt-get update' to update your package list15:41
KamaLhere what is in the file u asked15:49
KamaLhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/376252/15:49
KamaLshould i update it as explained here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine15:51
dvheumenyes, at the bottom of the page it says 'sudo apt-get update' to update your list of available packages, after that, 'ubuntu-desktop' should also be a known package you can then install15:52
bogeyd6technically you could issue the command "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"15:54
bogeyd6erp15:54
bogeyd6put sudo before each apt-get15:54
KamaLwhich repositories should i add15:54
bogeyd6if you had the default repos you would be able to install the desktop15:56
bogeyd6probably at this time you should go to #ubuntu15:56
bogeyd6as this is ubuntu-server and by definition is command line15:57
KamaLi'm here because i coudln't install it\15:57
KamaLi actually have no idea how to add new repos really15:58
dvheumenKamaL, you don't need to, bogeyd6 see KamaL's pastebin earlier (http://paste.ubuntu.com/376252/)15:58

dvheumenHi, does anyone know about APC UPS-ses that support Ubuntu?19:33
nosse1>Hello guys. My Ubuntu server has just been upgraded to karmic, and the disk containing the user's home is fsck during startup (due to fstab "0 2"), yet users are allowed to login! Where can I configure SSH/login not to allow login before e2fsck is done? I didn't allow login prior to upgrade (from Jaunty)19:34
nosse1...It didn't allow login prior...19:34
marks256Can anyone suggest a good High Availability clustering file system that supports user quotas? I've been trying unsuccessfully with LustreFS, but i cannot get ANY stability out of it.19:35
jpdsnosse1: SSH is started before disks are mounted?19:35
jpdsdvheumen: How do you mean "support Ubuntu" ?19:35
nosse1jpds: Do you know when is the disks mounted? (which init.d script)?19:38
dvheumenjpds, okay, I just found out that I'm making a certain assumption. Anyways ... I was planning to put 2 servers on a single UPS, one Ubuntu and one Windows. And then have the UPS connected to the Windows-server and have the UPS software communicate with the Windows-server for information about any sort of problems with the power. But now I'm now sure if it was the APC software that supports status communication over the network19:39
dvheumenand I have seen that there exists a APC software for Linux, but it's all kinda vague, so I was wondering if someone here has some information on that19:39
jpdsnosse1: /etc/init/mountall.conf19:40
jpdsnosse1: Upstart replaced init.d on karmic.19:40
jpdsdvheumen: Surely it has a SNMP interface or something?19:41
dvheumenjpds, great, didn't know about SNMP, now I know what to search for, tnx :)19:41
dvheumenit's all about the keywords :)19:42

KamaLit's dling stuff, like 450MB19:44
KamaLit's gonna use about 2gigs, wow :)19:44
KamaLthanks for the tip19:45
dvheumenjpds, any particular package you use in Ubuntu for SNMP?19:45
jpdsdvheumen: The stuff in the "snmp" package?19:46
dvheumenokay, tnx ;)19:46
jpdsdvheumen: For example, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/en/man1/snmpwalk.1.html19:47
dvheumenjpds, okay, but in that case, have you scripted power availability detection yourself? (since snmpwalk only seems to read information)19:48
jpdsdvheumen: I just know that they support SNMP, haven't played with it myself. ;)19:49
dvheumenjpds, okay. In that case I'll probably play around with the nut-snmp package I found. Thanks for the info. I'd like to be prepared before actually installing the server :)19:50
jumbersI'm trying to access files with rsync over SSH that only root is able to view, but for obvious security reasons I've disable root access over SSH. Is there any way to get rsync to access these files?20:00
dvheumenjumbers, you probably just want to log in via a normal user and gain root rights via sudo or su20:01
es21593siema20:01
dvheumenor run rsync daemon en map port through ssh to rsync daemon20:01
dvheumen*and20:01

jumbersWell, I'm running a backup script that uses rsync like this: rsync -avz -e ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/home20:02

jumbersI guess my other option is to push from the remote system to this one20:05
dvheumenjumbers, is there any objection to running an rsync daemon?20:09
RoyKdvheumen: it's far easier, and far safer, to run rsync through ssh20:14
RoyKgiven registered users, of course20:14
RoyKfor anonymous rsync access, I guess a daemon will do fine20:14
RoyKjust rsync somehostwithsshenabled:/some/path /somewhere and it should try with ssh on its own20:15
RoyKor add -e ssh if you're unsure20:15
dvheumenRoyK, I'm not implying that you should open the port to the outside, just run the daemon with the right permissions and connect through an SSH tunnel20:16
dvheumenbut at least then you can configure the daemon to assume the required permissions20:16
RoyKI use rsync almost daily this way, just -e ssh20:16
RoyKno need for a daemon20:16
RoyKI really don't see why you'd want one20:17
RoyKssh will fork one off on connect20:17
dvheumenRoyK, see jumbers' question20:17
dvheumenjumbers, RoyK can probably help you with your question20:18
RoyKjumbers: the command given should work if ssh is installed on that box20:18
RoyKon both boxes20:18
RoyKif rsync isn't installed on x.x.x.x either install it or use some networked filesystem to reach the data20:19
RoyKjumbers: any success?20:26
bccan someone tell me where the default clamav quarantine directory is for the ubuntu package? damned if I can't find it on the filesystem or via google.20:27

RoyKlike with RDP or something20:55
RoyKconsole access20:55

zoran119can someone tell what is the best way to keep my ubuntu 8.04 lts server up to date?21:26
zoran119i normaly do 'auptitude update; aptitude upgrade' but the new kernel is being 'kept back'21:27
guntbertzoran119: I just checked - sudo aptitude safe-upgrade *did* install a new kernel - it just doesn't get activated until you reboot21:28
zoran119i'm a bit worried that the kernel may be vournable (patches not installed)21:28
zoran119guntbert: ok... so is there a way to keep a kernel but get the package manager to only install the security updated for that kernel?21:29
livabrixsat > are you using && operator ?21:29
zoran119or do you have to upgrade the kernel to get the security patches?21:29
guntbert!pin | zoran11921:30
ubottuzoran119: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto21:30
guntbertzoran119: if you are talking about security patches to the kernel - those you get only with a new kernel - where is the problem?21:31
zoran119guntbert: ok, so the fact that i haven't ran safe-upgrade some known kernel 'wholes' have not been secured21:32
zoran119guntbert: i better go and run safe-upgrade then....21:32
guntbertzoran119: I'm not sure if that is the reason - doesn't hurt to try though21:33
zoran119guntbert: can you tell me... after i do safe-upgrade, will i still have 8-04 lts or will my server be upgraded to 9.10 or someting else...?21:33
guntbertzoran119: no worries - safe-upgrade won't even do anything which might be slightly dangerous - it will let you stay on your LTS21:37
zoran119guntbert: awesome... thanks for your help21:39
guntbertzoran119: you're welcome :-) you might want to read man aptitude and search for safe-upgrade ....21:40
zoran119guntbert: sure will21:41
d4n1sup?21:41
brixsatliva no && operator21:48
brixsati have a sh file with sleep function between files21:49
d4n1if i get an error saying that my kernel needs functionality 0:6, what could it be?21:51
sherrd4nl: that looks familiar to me, but I cannot recall why. From what?21:53
d4n1well, it happened when i tried to boot my server, which i had just finshed formatting21:54
d4n1im formatting again, i just wanted to know if it was a configuration error21:56
qman__brixsat, you should run your apps in one line like this: serverapp && sleep 5 && clientapp22:20
qman__err22:20
qman__nevermind, that won't work22:20
qman__because the server app doesn't finish22:21
qman__you could wrap the client in a repeat script22:22
qman__or evaluate the client's exit code22:22
brixsatany one here uses shoutcast/sc_trans?22:26
qman__brixsat, if the server app listens on a port, you could create a script for the client that nmaps for that port until it's listening, then starts the client22:30
brixsat:) qman__ i solved that part22:31
qman__ok22:31
brixsatthe problem is that sc_trans wont start if in rc.local22:31
qman__can't run as root?22:31
brixsatbut the same sh script works fine if executed in shell22:31
brixsatit can run as root :)22:31
brixsatis there a "startup" log ?22:32
qman__is the script written for bash?22:32
qman__the default shell for scripts is dash22:32
qman__and bash-isms won't work in dash22:32
qman__so you could try '/bin/bash /path/to/script.sh'22:32
brixsatyes22:33
brixsat#!/bin/bash   (new line)  sc_serv /root/radio/sc_serv.conf (newline) sc_trans /root/autodj/sc_trans.conf22:34
brixsatand in rc.local ---> sh /root/start.sh22:34
qman__does sc_serv exit after it starts?22:35
qman__if not it's just going to wait22:35
brixsatno sc_serv runs ok :=)22:35
qman__yes, but in that script22:35
brixsathttp://ouvir.radioamorportugal.com:6002 as you can see :)22:36
qman__it waits until sc_serv exits before it runs sc_trans22:36
brixsat:o22:36
brixsatthat may be it :D22:36
brixsatshould i put & im the end of the comand?22:36
qman__you will have to tell it to daemonize, either by command line option or a & at the end22:36
brixsat:D22:37
qman__of course that makes it run the next command instantly22:37
qman__so you'll have to add in a check or wait22:37
brixsatqman__  trilian thanks :D22:37
brixsati did not expect to be the & problem22:37
brixsat;) i will dedicate a music to you ;) in the my show :D22:37
qman__hah, no problem22:38

mylarryHi! Systems i have used and seen were always so that there was one starting-point to where the requests came to and that server does (at least) the loadbalancing so routing the requests to differnet servers (which have nothing to do at the moment . But with this architecure you have at least this one server "the starting point" the router/loadbalancer that is a single point of failure. So if this server crashes nothing will work 23:40
mylarrywhat can you do to have no single point of failure??23:40
zoran119hey, i just did 'aptitude safe-upgrade' and there are packages being held back (linux-image-server and linux-server amongs them)... is it secure to run my server like this? have the kernel patches been applied?23:48
