[00:00] -X preserve extended attributes [00:01] I'm a huge rsync fan, but there were enough special cases, that I start to wonder if I got them all. [00:02] A generic tool like this should do the right thing for all edge cases users are likely to come up with. [00:09] Has anyone ever heard of start_daemon not backgrounding processes? Suddenly one program trying to use that to start its daemon find the script hanging at the call to start_daemon and the daemon is responsive. [00:10] zul, found why I couldn't run the hook and now I can, and it was something related to the apt cache, but now im doing something different to test the hooks and works including the staging [00:11] RoAkSoAx: sweet [00:11] anyways i'll work on it/test and then bother you for review :) [00:21] coolio [00:54] what is the command to rebuild device.map [00:54] soren: update-grub ? [00:54] sabgenton: ^--. [00:55] erichammond, i'm just familiar with rsync, and its one command, not 2. so i don't have to check both sides of the pipe [00:55] but, regarding sparse, and acl, and hard links you're definitely right. [00:55] smoser: That's fine. Just make sure you pack in enough options to really duplicate the contents. [00:55] yeah [00:55] grub 2 is a pain it didn't make the autodected boot entrys right [00:56] now I have grub entrys that are useless [00:57] have to make one in /etc/grub.d/40_custom I guess [00:59] oh wait I think it looks at fstab [00:59] and it was wrong at the time [00:59] will try again [02:52] hi [02:53] i have a ubuntu server (8.04 lts) running as a vm on hyper-v and almost every day the clock gets stuck in a 5 second loop... [02:53] any idea what could be causing the problem? [02:56] zoran119: are you running ntpdate or ntpd int hat vm? vm's usually don't need to sync their time, just the host [02:56] zoran119: it's the only thing that comes to mind at the moment [03:40] how can I can kill such process: root 19294 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S Feb28 0:00 [nfsv4-svc] [03:41] maxagaz: that's a kernel thread. [03:41] knowing that kill -9 doesn't work [03:41] The square brackets mean "I'm the kernel" [03:41] (IIUC) [03:41] twb, okay [03:41] twb, what can I do then ? [03:42] twb, it was set by someone else... [03:42] rmmod nfs or something, might get rid of it. [03:42] Why do you need to get rid of it? [03:42] twb, I suspect it to be responsible of lags on the machine [03:43] rmmod nfs [03:43] ERROR: Module nfs is in use [03:46] maxagaz: why do you suspect that? [03:47] actually, it seems better since I've unmounted to directory in /tmp [04:30] I have a network of 8.04 clients and an 8.04 server. Users and groups (above 1000) are centralized in an OpenLDAP RFC 2307 database. [04:30] Now, I need all users to have access to floppies, i.e. to be in the floppy (25) group. [04:30] How do I do that? The floppy group isn't in LDAP, it's in flat files on each host. [04:35] twb: Fiddle /etc/nsswitch.conf and stick it in LDAP? [04:37] Thinking laterally, I wonder if I could just use a udev rule to "chgrp users /dev/fd0". [04:38] Any old bodge will suffice, but for my own sanity I'd like it to be the least-worst bodge. [04:38] Well, of course. [04:38] udev rule either means manual management or a local package. LDAP swich means manual management *and* LDAP config. Which is less headache? [04:40] I should add that the client machines are all netboot from a single image [04:47] i have two disks mirrored .. looking for procedure to upgrade to next release, for example lucid when it is available in apr, and failover back to older release.. [04:48] twb: That's why "local package". You deploy something that adds an entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and includes your rule (or split in two packages if you like), and then you can update all the machines by tweaking that package, rather than by changing all the netboot images. [04:48] i solaris i break the mirror, while system is running, upgrade the in inactive disk - the detached one from mirror, and reboot from that .. [04:48] s/i solaris/in solaris/ [04:49] if the upgrade breaks any os, i switch back to the orig disk [04:49] so one reboot for each is the only outage [04:49] is there something similar available w/ ubuntu server ? [05:59] hi there i am trying to install moodle, i just download the files .tgz but when i try to uncompress using the command tar -zxvf moodle-weekly-19.tgz i got error that the file is not format gzip. any idea? [06:04] file moodle-weekly-19.tgz [06:06] yes, i just see i can do apt-get moodle, but i am not sure if it can work fine. anyone have experience installing moodle? [06:06] i don't see why it wouldn't work [06:09] im trying now thanks [06:15] * persia has recently seen a number of .tgz files that were actually uncompressed tarballs. [06:19] probably web server is doing decompressing [06:20] ivoks: if you mean when clicking in firefox, it'll be firefox, not the server sie [06:20] *side [06:20] you think? [06:20] ivoks: because of Accept-Encodings: gzip [06:20] Firefox thinks the file coming back is gzipped only because it said it supported gzip [06:20] hm... yeah [06:21] You won't see that fail with e.g. wget [06:21] ivoks: oh, and also because the server returns application/x-gzip or whatever for .tar.gz [06:21] true [06:22] lucid is looking macish [06:22] Actually, in at least one case, the decompression had happend prior to it being posted on the website (I spent some time investigating with the person posting the artifact). Probably the same cause, but don't always blame your browser. [06:23] I was just commenting on server vs. browser [06:23] does w3m supports it? [06:23] w3m sends Accept-Encodings: gzip ..., but midori doesn't [06:23] probably, /lib/libz.so.1 [06:24] I know this because occasionally my proxy (polipo) will feed the gzipped file to midori and I get garbage onscreen [06:37] can someone reccomend an easy how to for getting postfix to allow a user to send via smtp from a computer not on our lan? [06:37] having an awful time with it [06:38] skrite: you want SMTP/SSL on the submission port (587). [06:38] I don't know the details [06:39] That or become an open gateway and hope for the best until you get RBLd. [06:39] twb, i think i need port 25 [06:39] RBLd? [06:39] blacklisted [06:39] ah, ok [06:40] then yes ! [06:40] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_submission_agent [06:41] thanks [07:36] this is insane [07:37] i have gone through the examples on the ubuntu wiki about a half dozen times, and still not getting it to work [07:37] just doesn't seem like this should be this difficult [07:37] <|Mike|> what [07:38] <|Mike|> struggling with sasl ? :D [07:39] yeah, still struggling [08:07] morning [08:10] o/ [08:11] hey [08:17] do i need to have the full domain name as my host name? like machine.mydomain.com ? [08:17] skrite: do you mean for postfix? [08:17] yes [08:18] skrite: you need to tell postfix which hostnames to "receive mail for" - i.e. consider as local machine [08:18] this can be one or more hostnames - can include your FQDN (machine.example.com) [08:19] all the ones listed as mydestination? [08:20] skrite: what is mydestination? [08:20] skrite: yes. whatever is listed as mydestination [08:21] but your hostname is ONE of those values. [08:21] ok [08:21] skrite: and you MIGHT list all of the values under mydestination in /etc/hosts [08:22] skrite: in the simplest of cases, your hostname = machine.example.com, mydestination will be just that [08:24] ok. i am a little confused here. The machine name with the prefix of the domain. like our machine is server.mydomain.com so when i log in, my prompt looks like server # however, the mail domain is mail.ourdomain.com [08:24] the hostname of the machine is server [08:25] skrite: then your case is a little more involved. mydestination should include ALL the hostnames in the SMTP context that this postfix instance will consider local [08:26] and the same with the /etc/hosts ? [08:26] skrite: strictly speaking it has NOTHING to do with /etc/hosts or DNS or hostname [08:26] ok [08:27] skrite: if an incoming SMTP connection has a To/CC/BCC email address that is _NOT_ [08:27] skrite: one of the values in mydestination, that is considered non-local and the [08:27] skrite: request is effectively a relay request. All email addresses that end in values in mydestination [08:28] skrite are considered "local" and therefore _NOT_ relay requests [08:28] whoa, so i don't want to include them if i am trying to set up an account client that is not within the LAN? [08:29] not on the local network or local machine, i mean. [08:29] skrite: don't understand what you're asking. I was referring to what is considered a relay [08:29] the user has a username and password and a Maildir on the machine, but needs to connect from a mail client not on the same machine [08:30] skrite: request versus request for "local" delivery. There are separate constraints / checks [08:30] skrite: around whether relaying is ALLOWED or not - e.g. AUTH [08:30] ok [08:30] think i get it [08:31] skrite: I get your case now. User has a _LOCAL_ account. But connects with a mail client [08:31] right [08:31] skrite: that will make SMTP requests from a remote network location [08:31] yes [08:31] skrite: presumably some of those requests will be to send email to _OTHER_ users on this local [08:32] actually, no. [08:32] skrite: mail domain (to be "locally" delivered) while other SMTP requests will be to relay emails [08:32] skrite: to other mail domains. [08:32] the mail account is actually for a machine that will only need to send via relay. to other domains [08:32] skrite: the mydestination piece specifies what is considered "local" versus "foreign" (non-local) [08:33] skrite: ok. so case 1 may have ZERO requests. you still need to instruct postfix as to what is for "local" [08:33] ok, so what it considers a relay or not [08:33] skrite: delivery versus "relay". If NOTHING is ever lcoally delivered to users on this box, you should [08:34] skrite: be setting up this postfix as a "smart relay" to relay all mail to the main SMTP host. [08:34] skrite: in that case, this client can also (probably should also) relay via _THAT_ main SMTP host [08:36] ok testing [08:43] what log can i look in to see why smtp is not happening right? mail.log does not show anything when i try to send via smtp [08:47] skrite: what mail server? [08:49] the smtp server [08:49] skrite: did you finish testing? [08:51] well, sort of, all i am getting from a client is that unable to send check with your network administrator, yadda yadda [08:52] check with the network administrator? i AM the network administrator ! [08:52] can you try sending email _locally_ - to see postfix is accepting incoming mail for local delivery? [08:53] yes, that is working [08:53] then check from the remote client sending email that should be considered local - for local delivery on the postfix box [08:53] the final part is selectively enabling relaying based on AUTH (since you don't want to be an open SMTP relay) [08:53] ok [08:55] you mean test from like user1@mydomain.com to user2@mydomain.com? [08:56] skrite: from can be anything. to should be something like user2@mydomain.com - where mydomain.com is in the mydestination list [08:56] in fct you should test all teh different values in the mydestination list [08:56] no, i am getting a login failed [08:59] skrite: so here is where the AUTH part comes in. Did you finish setting up the STARTTLS? [08:59] yes, i think so. [08:59] skrite: Are you planning on using saslauth directly with postfix or authenticate through dovecot? [09:00] i am good with either, really, dovecot is our pop client and is working [09:01] skrite: ok. when you do a 'telnet localhost 25' on the postfix box and then type 'ehlo localhost' at the SMTP prompt, [09:02] skrite: do you see STARTTLS and AUTH? [09:03] I see STARTTLS but the lines with AUTH are AUTH PLAIN LOGIN and AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN [09:04] skrite: cool. that works. [09:04] skrite: take a look atthis page to setup the sasl through dovecot: [09:04] skrite: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixDovecotSASL [09:04] ok [09:05] thanks for all this, by the way [09:06] skrite: cool. you're welcome. lots of ppl have helped me too - not least by writing all this awesome FOSS [09:07] :) [09:11] <\sh> hmm....libjs-query as default install pkg on server flavour? did I miss something? ;) [09:13] <\sh> bah...python-apt recommends libjs-jquery..wth [09:23] in grub2 [09:23] how does grub-mkconfig know what partion to assign to root=bla [09:23] ? [09:24] ttx: I don't know if I'm all alone in this, but I really don't care about eucalyptus bug mail. At all. Yet I get tons of it, because ubuntu-virt is subscribed to it. [09:25] ttx: How would you feel about a ubunt-uec team that is subscribed to all things UEC? [09:26] ttx: That team, in turn, could be a member of ubuntu-virt (and not the other way around). [09:26] soren: makes sense, maybe send mail to ubuntu-virt members to propose the disassociation ? [09:27] ttx: The team consists of all Canonical folks and me and Rick. [09:28] ttx: I think it's a matter of jfdi. [09:28] soren: I just don't want people (if any) relying on it to get euca bugmail to be surprised by the move [09:28] ttx: Ok, how about this: [09:28] ttx: You create ubuntu-uec.. [09:29] ttx: ..subscribe that team to all the relevant packages (eucalyptus, euca2ools, axis2c, rampart, all the java stuff, etc.).. [09:29] ttx: ...I'll e-mail all the members of ubuntu-virt telling them that if they really do care about UEC bug mail, they should join that other team. [09:30] ttx: You may want to keep all the java stuff separate. [09:30] soren: ubuntnu-server is already subscribed to those packages... so I don't really see the need for a ubuntu-uec team, tbh [09:30] ttx: Oh. [09:30] ttx: You are quite right. [09:31] Everyone in ubuntu-virt is already ubuntu-server members. [09:31] Oh, but they get that bug mail differently. [09:31] soren: yes, that allows them to filter... that's why I prefer to warn about the move before doing it [09:31] I'm just fed up to the point where I was about to leave ubuntu-virt, but I really don't want to do that. I feel very close to that team :) [09:32] soren: it all boils down to the purpose of that team [09:33] soren: as the bug supervisor for a number of virt packages, that puts it outside the regular ubuntu-server processes as far as bug review is concerned [09:33] so we discussed moving the virt packages into ubuntu-sever as well [09:33] It was meant to consist of people who cared about virtualisation in Ubuntu. It was never really decided whether this membership was supposed to come with special privileges (write access to bzr branches or whatnot), or if it was just a handy way to get more bug mail. === sabgenton_ is now known as sabgenton [09:36] soren: if everyone agrees the purpose of the team is about key virt packages and not their downstream application (UEC), then yes, your move makes sense [09:36] uec packages are already taken care of in ubuntu-server, so they wouldn't get lost [09:38] lucid_interval_, YOU ROCK ! successful test after setting up with dovecot auth, thanks ! [09:39] skrite: awesome :-) [09:40] skrite: now if you want to know a LOT more about postfix - check out this presentation: http://www.arschkrebs.de/slides/Postfix_Configuration_and_Administration-handout.pdf [09:41] cool, thanks. certainly will do. [09:41] skrite: and if you ever want to setup a CLIENT postfix server that is allowed to relay based on a TLS certificate: check out this presentation: http://www.state-of-mind.de/assets/postfix_tls.pdf [09:42] got it [10:44] so I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 here [10:45] what's the best way to get Xen working? [10:45] there isn't any xen-enabled kernel in the repo [10:45] is xen considered edwardian or something? [10:48] jayvee: Xen is not really supported in Ubuntu. Try KVM instead. [10:48] That's what I've been using, but I'm quite unimpressed with its performance. [10:48] This copy of Ubuntu has been installing for the past 30 minutes. [10:49] Then you're probably not using kvm. [10:49] module kvm_amd is loaded, and /usr/bin/kvm is running [10:49] -enable-kvm [10:49] jayvee: How are you running kvm? From a command line? [10:50] within libvirt [10:50] jayvee: Through libvirt? [10:50] jayvee: Ok. [10:50] jayvee: Put the output of "ps -ef | grep kvm" on pastebin [10:52] soren: http://pastebin.ca/1823647 [10:53] jayvee: now "sudo ls -l /proc/26559/fd [10:53] " [10:53] (without the spurious newline, sorry) [10:53] This is a desktop install, btw. It's going to be a group of NoMachine servers. [10:54] A desktop install? With 512 MB of RAM? [10:54] That's going to be slow even on real hardware. [10:54] <|Mike|> soren: are you from sweden btw? [10:54] |Mike|: No. [10:54] |Mike|: Denmark [10:54] soren: http://pastebin.ca/1823649 [10:54] <|Mike|> Close tho, your nick sounds pretty familair, as if i seen it before *somewhere* [10:54] I shut it down and started it, so the PID changed. :) [10:55] jayvee: Well, any further diagnostics is unnecessary: 512 MB of RAM desktop installs will always be slow. [10:55] hmm, runs perfectly fast in VirtualBox [10:55] I'd use ubuntu-vm-builder to deploy this stuff, except it keeps crashing. [10:56] jayvee: With 512 MB it runs fast in VirtualBox? Seriously? [10:56] yep [10:56] |Mike|: soren is a famous golfer. [10:56] Nothing runs fast on 512 MB [10:56] heck, I even bump it down to 256 MB once it's finished installing [10:57] What's wrong with you? [10:57] * soren smacks ttx around [10:57] <|Mike|> ttx: lol [10:57] :) [10:57] |Mike|: it's true ! [10:57] jayvee: Once it's done installing is a completely different story. [10:57] agreed [10:58] So you reckon it's a memory thing more than anything? [10:58] jayvee: At that point, you don't have a multi-GB disk image as a ramdisk. [10:58] KVM is quite awesome anyway [10:58] Google says he is, it /must/ be true. [10:58] I'd rather go with KVM than Xen. [10:58] jayvee: Oh, yeah. Totally. [10:58] But Virtualbox is pretty nifty if you want hosted virtualization [10:58] jayvee: i'm running a Xen dom0 on debian lenny [10:58] iLLiZT: What is "hosted virtualisation"? [10:58] jayvee: with ubuntu domu's [10:58] soren: Virtualbox, VMware Workstation, etc. [10:59] iLLiZT: How is that different from Xen or KVM? [10:59] <|Mike|> eeuw. [10:59] iLLiZT: What about KVM is not "hosted virtualisation"? [10:59] I've never heard that term. [10:59] KVM is hosted virtualization as well. [10:59] What is /not/ hosted virtualisation, then? [10:59] It's mainly what VMware uses to describe what's not a bare-metal hypervisor. [10:59] VMware, Citrix, Microsoft etc. [10:59] What does that even mean? [11:00] soren: it's a VMWare buzz-word [11:00] A bare-metal hypervisor is virtualization without an underlying OS. [11:00] :) [11:00] Yeah [11:00] iLLiZT: ...which in and of itself is nonsense. [11:00] Well, naturally they have some sort of OS [11:00] There's always an OS. [11:00] since the hypervisor itself is the OS basically [11:01] But their OS is used only for virtualization. [11:01] And nothing else. [11:01] What difference does that make? [11:01] Like I said... buzzword :) [11:01] Less overhead, and like FireCrotch says; buzzword [11:01] <|Mike|> soren: go get em, rawwwwwwww! [11:01] bah [11:02] Are there any virtualisation solutions that don't use disk images? [11:02] chroots don't count ;) [11:02] jayvee: You could boot vms from iSCSI. [11:02] I'd exchange a bit of overhead for not having a /completely separate codebase/ to do virtually the exact same thing as a proper OS /any/ day. [11:02] I don't mind using a server for just virtualization. [11:03] iLLiZT: never touched iSCSI before [11:03] jayvee: What's the problem with disk images? [11:03] oh, nothing [11:03] just curious [11:03] What counts as a "disk image" in your book? [11:03] just cloning a disk image at the moment, and it crossed my mind [11:03] Hello. Installed "redhat-cluster-suite" and now I can not boot my machine anymore. Last message at boot is "dlm: Using TCP for communications". Anyone know how to resolve this? [11:03] Maybe that's the right question to ask. [11:04] disk image = vmdk, vdi, img, etc. [11:04] jayvee: Sure. KVM can use other stuff. [11:04] jayvee: It can use a disk, partition, lv, whatever. [11:04] so can Virtualbox, I think [11:04] I'm thinking more folder on the hard drive without a filesystem [11:05] I know how to make it go away. Just boot the server with USB stick and remove all deps of redhat-cluster-suite. But heay, I want cman, clvm, nfs and stuff [11:05] So, anyone install 3.1.4 yet? [11:05] but that would require NFS [11:05] jayvee: LXC. [11:05] bit like what some LTSP setups use, I spose [11:05] Default behaviours have changed a bit [11:05] Seems promising. [11:05] soren: interesting — not heard of that [11:05] and there's a libvirt driver [11:05] Yes. [11:06] speaking of which, I was trying to get libvirt to talk to virtualbox the other day [11:06] had some error [11:06] hang on [11:06] hmm, wow, it works [11:06] heh, never mind :) [11:07] hmm, not as good as I hoped though. doesn't support the libvirt chrome, and doesn't run headless. [11:07] Currently setting up a new virtualization environment here. One storage server and two virtualization servers. Using iSCSI with cluster LVM. have it working! Pretty cool. [11:08] cool, lxc looks awesome [11:09] even less vm'ish than openvz [11:09] does it use UML? [11:11] actually, doesn't look like it uses separate kernels at all [11:11] similar to openvz, from what I recall [11:12] jayvee, yeah, LXC is the future of openvz. [11:14] I presume my kernel already supports it. [11:15] jayvee, yes. You have to ask someone else how mature LXC is. Ask soren [11:17] New bug: #532558 in eucalyptus (main) "When CC is separated from CLC, nodes keep on being registered" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/532558 [11:21] Well, people are using it in production.

[13:32] ttx: okay [13:32] ttx: i'll get on it [13:34] twb, agreed [13:34] Seems to me that with live-helper you get pretty good boot times. [13:35] I'm using it to boot a 200MB-ish Lucid system that just runs surf and mplayer, and that comes up in... let's time it... [13:38] Not too good -- 32 seconds for a 1.5GHz Via C7 [13:38] My laptop's around 15s for a 630MHz Celeron, but I don't start X. [13:41] kirkland: saw my pm ? [13:41] ttx: no [13:41] kirkland: and now ? [13:41] ttx: yup [14:11] Bah. Live migration still doens't work :( [14:15] zul: Have you seen that php 5.3.2 bug and "Security Enhancements" release has been made? [14:15] Daviey: yep I have [14:16] zul: what do you think about bumping to it? [14:16] Daviey: umm....maybe :) [14:17] Daviey: ill take a look at it this afternon [14:19] zul: neat [14:25] IRC-REVOKE. Live migration does work === Omahn_ is now known as Omahn [14:43] <_ruben> Jeeves_: in what kind of environment? plain kvm? "free" live migration sure make me wanna play around with kvm (and possibly xen). as our current choice of virtualization product, vmware esxi, surely has a hefty pricetag on its live migration feature [14:44] _ruben: Libvirt, KVM, Ubuntu Lucid [14:45] kirkland, ttx, bug 532682 [14:45] Launchpad bug 532682 in eucalyptus "instance stays in pending for > 1 hour, then to terminated" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/532682 [14:45] <_ruben> Jeeves_: nice, nfs storage i guess?

[16:56] The tinyurl in the /topic is broken. [17:09] guys, see to access my webmin on my vps, is that not just http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000 to log into it? [17:19] IIRC, that's the default port for webmin [17:19] may be https, i don't remember [17:20] <_ruben> !webmin [17:20] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [17:22] still supported in 9.0.4 by any chance? [17:24] Has anyone seen a segfault generating grub.cfg when updating the linux-server-image? [17:24] http://www.pastebin.org/101841 [17:27] <_ruben> Andy-at-home: no, iirc webmin was dropped years ago [17:28] <_ruben> and its 9.04, not 9.0.4 [17:28] actually update-grub segfaults on 9.10 server.. odd. [17:34] Andy-at-home, webmin was dropped before 8.04 LTS, and is not in any supported versions [17:39] New bug: #529466 in mysql-dfsg-5.1 (main) "package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.37-1ubuntu5.1 failed to install/upgrade: il sottoprocesso vecchio script di post-installation ha restituito lo stato di errore 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/529466 [17:53] kirkland: ping what happens when qemu-kvm userland and kernel is mismatched?

[18:54] a server started crashing once a day for the last week [18:54] and I want to know which process takes it down [18:54] since it gets hung [18:54] I'm trying to figure out how to detect the process that is eating all the memory [18:55] well, there's that thing called oom-killer [18:55] yes, I've seen it [18:55] it randomly kills process when there's no memory [18:55] but the server dies always [18:56] it dies in the sense you can't connect to it or it freezes? [18:57] I can't connect to it [18:57] but it respond to pings [18:57] so it kills ssh :) [18:57] it's a VM [18:57] and I can't log in neither [18:57] huh [18:57] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1421823 [18:57] I've posted a question [18:58] and I'd like to know which process is killing it [18:58] top -b > logfile [18:58] ok, fine!

[19:04] ssh and the CLI like linus intended [19:04] /agree [19:04] mmm [19:05] <_ruben> !ebox [19:05] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [19:05] ebox is cool [19:06] thanks!
