[00:51] <skuldGoddess> can anybody help me with spamassassin + postfix?

[07:26] <ChmEarl> ciao
[10:30] <sacarde> hi
[10:31] <sacarde> I try to configure xdmcp on ubuntu8.4server
[10:31] <sacarde> I installed xorg + fluxbox + xdm
[10:32] <sacarde> someone experienced with this?
[10:39] <Callum__> http://repos.srb2.org/HNI_0079.JPG my baby
[10:42] <mealstrom> you should use some extra light sources or blink :P
[10:42] <Callum__> heh, it doesn't stay there, I just pulled it out there to do a decent wiring job...notice you can
[10:42] <Callum__> 't see much wires in that photo =P
[10:44] <Callum__> they're all tucked around the nooks and crannies of the rack for maximum airflow and that shit...most of the time right now that rack sits in a toilet with a fan in it, it has to be there for the moment because we are moving it downstairs in the building in a couple of months time but we have to have SOMEWHERE to put it where we can minimize the noise
[10:44] <Callum__> the loudest thing on that rack by far is the radio transmitter (the big thing up the top)
[10:44] <Callum__> drowns out the servers, hard drive enclose and the signal exciter (machine below the transmitter) noise quite easily
[10:45] <Callum__> enclosure*
[10:46] <Callum__> http://repos.srb2.org/HNI_00030.JPG =P
[10:48] <Callum__> http://repos.srb2.org/HNI_00020.JPG the UPS (1500VA) is under max load with everything turned on
[10:48] <Callum__> the servers (and the computers being served by it) all run Ubuntu
[10:49] <Callum__> those two machines running Server Edition 9.10, one running general-purpose 9.10 and two running Ubuntu Studio
[10:49] <mealstrom> nice, any portable diesel generator at backyard?
[10:51] <Callum__> no unfortunately, we don't have the money for anything flash like that as we're a non-profit organisation with most of our equipment being donated =P the radio-related stuff is brand new though
[10:52] <Callum__> however if power does go out, the UPS should hold everything for about 30 minutes.... I don't need so much time as I live pretty much 30 seconds away =P
[10:53] <mealstrom> we ve got 4 UPS 1000(VA) for about 2-3 hours with no power plugged. But when light goes away for 4 hours -- its disaster. And we cannot put there some diesel generator cos of "close distance to houses" too much noice at 2 a.m. or so
[10:54] <Callum__> I see... we're the same, the radio station (where that rack is located) is in the middle of a shopping center
[10:55] <Callum__> you would think with car engines being so quiet they'd have quiet generators too
[10:56] <mealstrom> my friend has got 2.4 kV generator ... it sounds like a tank
[10:56] <dotancohen_> You can put a muffler on a generator
[10:56] <dotancohen_> I don't know why they don't come with them, though
[10:57] <Callum__> Yeah...
[10:57] <dotancohen_> It doesn't kill the power really, but it is a bit expensive considering the cost of the whole thing
[10:57] <dotancohen_> And it takes a bit of space, and it gets _hot_
[10:58] <Callum__> 2.4kV is somewhere between 5-10hp =P or something
[10:58] <dotancohen_> By the way, car engines aren't really so quiet. Open the hood and pull some of the plastic away. If it's got a chain driving the cams, it's loud
[10:58] <mealstrom> yes. it is cheaper to buy another 4 UPS.
[10:58] <mealstrom> but we work with wood and there is some rules with fire protection. And we should put them backyard or something like that/
[10:59] <mealstrom> car engines with air cooling ? )
[10:59] <Callum__> heh
[10:59] <mealstrom> they sounds like tank too )
[10:59] <Callum__> well, they're quiet considering what little cars do to drain the noise outside
[11:00] <Callum__> generators could have endless amounts of soundproofing and exhaust muffling on them without any problems
[11:00] <maxagaz> how to check on which /dev is assigned my webcam ?
[11:01] <mealstrom> lshw -short ?
[11:01] <sacarde> can you help me to configure xdmcp on ubuntu-server?
[11:04] <maxagaz> mealstrom, no...
[11:06] <maxagaz> dmesg returns this : /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.1/usb4/4-1/4-1:1.0/input/input10 when i plug it
[11:07] <mealstrom> g  dmesg | less
[11:07] <mealstrom> oh
[11:09] <mealstrom> look here dev/v4l/by-id
[11:09] <mealstrom> /dev/
[11:10] <mealstrom> and check /dev/video0
[11:34] <Maleko> can anyone give me a iptable rule to limit the number of outgoing connection to particular ip destination
[11:53] <Davedan> can I rotate a log file maunally?
[12:22] <sacarde> can you help me to configure xdmcp on ubuntu-server?
[12:32] <twb> sacarde: X -query <terminal-server's-ip>, you're done.
[12:32] <sacarde> I try this
[12:32] <sacarde> but i dont view anythings
[12:33] <twb> And what did the logs say?
[12:33] <sacarde> I use ubuntuserver as server
[12:33] <sacarde> I configure xdm
[12:33] <sacarde> I view: netstat -an| grep xdm --------> port 177 is open
[12:34] <twb> You configured Ubuntu as the X server, or the app server?
[12:34] <sacarde> I install xorg on ubuntuserver
[12:36] <twb> OK, so xdm and all your apps are installed on the app server, right?
[12:36] <sacarde> yes
[12:37] <twb> What is the output from X -query <IP>?
[12:37] <twb> If it doesn't work, you should get some kind of error output
[12:38] <sacarde> X :1 vt8 -dpi 100 -query 192.168.1.3
[12:38] <sacarde> _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
[12:38] <sacarde> _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/arch64:1
[12:38] <sacarde> _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6
[12:38] <sacarde> XDMCP warning: INET6 UDP socket creation failed
[12:38] <ivoks> argh
[12:38] <ivoks> ipv6
[12:39] <sacarde> I blacklisted ipv6
[12:39] <ivoks> there's nothing on vt8?
[12:39] <sacarde> no
[12:39] <twb> Why the fuck is it trying to use UDP over IPv6?
[12:40] <twb> sacarde: what version of ubuntu?
[12:40] <RoyK> sacarde: why did you install X on your poor server?
[12:40] <RoyK> why not?
[12:40] <sacarde> 8.4
[12:40] <twb> RoyK: well, firstly because he's giving it an IPv4 address
[12:41] <twb> But I guess it might be because he's not -nolistening?
[12:41] <twb> sacarde: so "lsmod | grep ipv6" is empty?
[12:41] <sacarde> now, yes..... I try to load this module
[12:42] <RoyK> hm... yeah
[12:42] <sacarde> ah
[12:42] <RoyK> wierd
[12:43] <sacarde> in my client system..... I not have ipv6
[12:46] <twb> sacarde: you need to look at your log files, on both systems
[12:46] <ivoks> X :1 -query localhost
[12:46] <ivoks> does that work on app server?
[12:46] <twb> sacarde: your basic technique is correct, so something must be misconfigured.
[12:47] <twb> ivoks: you're assuming there's an X server on his app server :-)
[12:47] <ivoks> i think ipv6 error are not errors
[12:47] <sacarde> how can I remove ipv6 from ubuntuserver?
[12:47] <sacarde> no?
[12:47] <twb> I agree, I suspect the IPv6 stuff is spurious.
[12:47] <twb> It usually is
[12:47] <sacarde> ah
[12:47] <ivoks> just notification that ipv6 isn't available
[12:47] <twb> (I ran off on a bit of an anti-ipv6 tangent before.)
[12:52] <sacarde> I try loading ipv6 in client too
[12:52] <sacarde> but I havent errors.... bu I dont view anythings
[12:53] <sacarde> but I read:
[12:53] <sacarde> XDMCP fatal error: Session failed Session 179920002 failed for display 192.168.1.20:1: Cannot open display
[12:54] <twb> sacarde: Xorg said that?
[12:55] <ivoks> that's an real error
[12:55] <sacarde> yes
[12:55] <twb> sacarde: is xauth installed on both ends?
[12:55] <sacarde> mmm
[12:55] <twb> sacarde: if you have firewalls, do they have the appropriate gaping holes?
[12:55] <sacarde> no firewall
[12:56] <twb> I wonder if it's worth just forcing a (non-XDMCP) remote connection, to test it
[12:56] <twb> X :2 & ssh 192.168.1.20 -f env DISPLAY=192.168.1.30:2 xlogo
[12:57] <twb> Where 192.168.1.30 is your X terminal
[13:01] <ivoks> bah
[13:01] <ivoks>   Clustered snapshots are not yet supported.
[13:01] <ivoks> fsck
[13:01] <sacarde> Error: Can't open display: 192.168.1.20:2
[13:08] <twb> sacarde: you're starting X by hand?
[13:08] <twb> sacarde: i.e. not via xdm, gdm, xinit, or anything else
[13:08] <sacarde> no
[13:08] <twb> Well, no wonder it fails, then.
[13:08] <sacarde> in runlevel 2 I start xdm
[13:08] <twb> All those wrapper things disable remote X for your protection
[13:09] <sacarde> ?
[13:09] <sacarde> I check hosts.allow and deny
[13:09] <twb> This has nothing to do with tcpwrappers
[13:10] <sacarde> no?
[14:03] <ehnde> anyone know of any good guide for lighttpd+sqlite+php ?
[15:30] <heath|OTG> Hello, I'm trying to learn / configure iptables as a router / gateway. So far I have the router set to accept ssh which is working fine and it allows traffic through from other machines on the network but I can't ping any outside address from the router itself
[15:31] <heath|OTG> it's as if eth0 doesn't pass it's traffic through to the wan eth1
[16:08] <merianos> Hello .  .  .
[16:08] <Jeeves_> heath|OTG: Have you configured NAT?
[16:08] <merianos> I need your help please . . . :)
[16:09] <merianos> I'm new on Linux and I use an ubundu desktop
[16:09] <merianos> I like to setup a system for development with LAMP
[16:09] <merianos> This part is already set it up
[16:09] <merianos> What I like to do now is to setup BIND
[16:10] <merianos> I want to use domain name for each of my local domain names
[16:10] <heath|OTG> Jeeves_: I had a bad DNS entry
[16:10] <merianos> Any person to help me please ?
[16:10] <Jeeves_> heath|OTG: Ah, ok.
[16:10] <Jeeves_> merianos: Just ask your question, and someone will help, or not
[16:10] <merianos> Ok then . . .
[16:11] <heath|OTG> merianos: you don't need bind for that just configure your host file if it is just for one machine
[16:11] <merianos> How to setup BIND for custom domain names in my localhost only, not shared domain names in my network
[16:11] <merianos> Ah ok . . .
[16:11] <merianos> where is located the host file in Ubundu ?
[16:12] <heath|OTG> /etc/hosts
[16:12] <merianos> and then how can I build Virtual Hosts for Apache ?
[16:13] <Jeeves_> merianos: see /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
[16:13] <heath|OTG> you will need to create configs in /etc/apache2/sites-available. there should be a default
[16:13] <heath|OTG> once configured you enable it with a2ensite siteconfigfile
[16:14] <merianos> slowly slowly :)
[16:14] <merianos> I'm new on linux . . .
[16:15] <merianos> first day that I'm using it :)
[16:16] <merianos> Ok now . . .
[16:16] <merianos> I found the hosts file . . .
[16:16] <merianos> In example if I will use the domain www.testdomain.ext
[16:17] <merianos> how will I setup a virtual host on apache ?
[16:17] <merianos> in hosts I will add the record 127.0.0.1 www.testdomain.ext
[16:18] <merianos> what is the setup on apache for test ?
[16:18] <merianos> i mean the testdomain virtual host
[16:21] <merianos> Have I to make a copy of default file in /etc/apache2/sites-available and then rename it to the domain name I like to use ?
[16:21] <merianos> in www.testdomain.ext ?
[16:22] <merianos> and then enable it by using a2ensite www.testdomain.ext ?
[16:24] <merianos> Any help please ?
[16:25] <merianos> Somebody to help me ?
[16:28] <merianos> None ?
[16:28] <heath|OTG> merianos: that should work fine and remember to change the path to the web root
[16:29] <heath|OTG> merianos: please understand that must of us in here are working as well
[16:29] <merianos> :$ sorry :)
[16:29] <merianos> I try to paste the file and I can't
[16:29] <merianos> how to change the permisions ?
[16:35] <heath|OTG> sudo nano -w file_you_want_to_creat
[18:52] <tarvid> after karmic upgrade, i am battling named failure
[18:53] <tarvid> any hints on where to start?
[18:56] <tarvid> resolve queries from outside but not locally
[18:57] <tarvid> resolv.conf has nameserver localhost
[18:58] <tarvid> works with hard address
[19:20] <d4n1> hey, how can i access the phpmyadmin page, is there supposed to be something inside www in /var/www?
[19:23] <qman__> d4n1, the distribution phpmyadmin page is located elsewhere, but should be accessible with http://yourserver/phpmyadmin/
[19:26] <d4n1> qman__: well, ive tried that, which i expected to work, but it doesn't so i don't know if i did something wrong/
[19:26] <qman__> I don't have one accessible right now, but I believe it's in /usr/share/phpmyadmin
[19:27] <qman__> and it should have created or modified your site config in /etc/apache2/sites-available
[19:27] <d4n1> ok, if anything ill check sites-available out
[19:27] <qman__> a lot of packaged web software works that way in ubuntu, such as torrentflux
[20:33] <tprankd> I'm using ircd-hybrid.  I'm able to connect to 127.0.0.1, however when I'm trying to connect to a domain that points to the server IP, the connection is refused.  How can I set it up so I can connect from an external computer?  port 6667 is open
[20:39] <qman__> tprankd, you probably have to configure the daemon to listen on your LAN IP
[20:40] <qman__> if your machine is 192.168.1.5, try connecting to that from inside
[20:40] <qman__> if it doesn't work, you have your answer
[20:46] <tprankd> hmm cannot connect to the lan IP
[20:46] <tprankd> How would I make it listen on .7?
[21:05] <VSpike> can anyone tell me when you should use vga= and when you should use video= on the kernel boot line?
[21:06] <VSpike> I can't find the right search recipe because they are both such common words
[21:16] <sherr> VSpike: I think vga= gives you a video "mode" i.e. resolution, and video= loads a video device driver
[21:21] <qman__> tprankd, There should be a "listen" directive somewhere in the configuration file. Change it from localhost or 127.0.0.1 to your LAN IP, restart the service, and everything should work.
[21:23] <tprankd> qman__:  Thanks!  Do you know where the configuration file is for irc-hybrid?
[21:23] <tprankd> I was looking in /etc/irc-hybrid
[21:24] <qman__> I don't know about that one in particular, but you're looking in the right places
[21:24] <qman__> there should be a main config or a network config, something like that
[21:26] <VSpike> sherr: thanks
[21:42] <ChmEarl> using karmic 9.10 as VM manager, what size initrd.img is about right? its 7MB now. I need to rebuild it
[21:44] <ChmEarl> looking at initramfs.conf for hints
[21:54] <heynow> I've got a dell box t310 that 8.04 will not install on - doesnt find nic or the cdrom - however 9.10 installs well. If I install and configure 9.10 will i be able to upgrade to 10.4 and pin it there for the life of 10.4?
[22:06] <sherr> heynow: yes
[22:15] <VSpike> Hm. I had a booting box, and then I followed the instructions at http://harrison3001.blogspot.com/2009/09/grub-2-graphical-boot-tips-to-set.html and now it doesn't seem to boot
[22:16] <VSpike> I can get the grub menu (and it is at 1024x768 as I requested) but whatever boot option I use, or however I edit the kernel line, I get nothing after the grub output
[22:17] <VSpike> E.g. I'll get "Booting a command list" and perhaps a couple of lines about the initrd location and so on.  After that, I have about 10 seconds of HDD activity and then nothing
[22:18] <VSpike> I suppose it's just possible that it may be booting, but I haven't got the networking up yet so I can't tell
[22:18] <VSpike> Any ideas how to fix? I'm stuck
[22:20] <marsje> hi
[22:21] <marsje> a friend of mine want to have a little home server but he also wants a multimedia pc... in one!
[22:21] <marsje> I myself use debian on my little server and ubuntu on my desktop
[22:21] <marsje> would ubuntu server be right for both?
[22:22] <marsje> can ubuntu server be upgraded to ubuntu desktop (or vice versa)?
[22:23] <AdamDV> marsje: Yes.
[22:24] <marsje> it's just a matter of aptituding the right packages, e.g.g gnome
[22:27] <VSpike> marsje: by the same token, you could install server components on the desktop version too
[22:27] <marsje> right
[22:27] <marsje> so actually there is no difference between ubuntu server and desktop besides the packages installed by default?
[22:27] <VSpike> marsje: i suppose the advantage of going with server is you can build a leaner system
[22:28] <marsje> yes, that would be better
[22:34] <AdamDV> Ughh
[22:34] <AdamDV> I hate it when compiz crashes.
[22:38] <VSpike> gah. this is driving me nuts
[22:39] <VSpike> Hm, quiet isn't it? Do most people normally here come while at work?
[22:49] <marsje> while "working"... :)
[22:53] <bogeyd6> or you could issue the command "sudo apt-get install ambalamps"
[23:43] <camilla> hi!
[23:43] <camilla> i just installed ubuntu server and now i need to get ssh
[23:43] <camilla> how can i do that?
[23:44] <heynow> sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[23:44] <camilla> thanks!
[23:44] <heynow> np
[23:45] <camilla> this is my first server:)
[23:46] <heynow> google around for a server guide maybe lot's to do
[23:46] <camilla> i have found one
[23:54] <ChmEarl> virtio_net speed test: 300MB file from bare metal across 1Gbit netw to VM - 32MB/s
