Roxyhart08hi sorry i got my server working on HP 360G6 and i really slow to read data. I am wondering if i need to re-install the HP driver for ubuntu, but i dont know if i do that i lost the informations on the server?04:16
Roxyhart08anybody know why the server could be slow to read data and if is sure re-install drivers for HP smart array -ubuntu. I mean i won't lost data with it?04:26
bogeyd6Roxyhart08, what kind of raid card you got in it?04:26
bogeyd6onboard?04:26

ubottuTips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto04:27
bogeyd6basically you need to not use the onboard raid and just let it default the drives each to raid 0 and use linux software raid04:27
Roxyhart08so, you mean not use HP drivers?04:27
bogeyd6im saying if you dont have a RAID card inside of the machine you shouldnt be using the onboard raid04:28
Roxyhart08yes, i have raid card04:28
jayveeNoob question: why would software raid be faster than hardware raid? That's a bit counter-intuitive.04:29
bogeyd6its basically the same if it is onboard raid04:30
bogeyd6Roxyhart08, please tell me the exact model number04:30
bogeyd6ok well nevermind i guess Roxyhart08 im headed to bed04:33

qman__jayvee, real hardware RAID is actually faster, but fakeRAID is slower and less featureful than software RAID04:47
sekyourboxI just set up my DHCPD file, how do i check the service please.. google wont help me.. Thanks04:47
qman__Roxyhart08 has a real RAID controller, but many motherboards these days have onboard fakeRAID controllers such as nvraid, AMD SB750, or silicon image controllers04:47

sekyourboxservice dhcpd start>> doesn't work04:49
jayveesekyourbox, what's the error?04:49
sekyourboxThe program 'service' can be found in the following packages:04:49
qman__sekyourbox, sudo /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart04:49
qman__also, I think you have to enable it in /etc/default04:50
qman__otherwise it won't run04:50
sekyourboxsudo: /etc/init.d/dhcpd: command not found04:50
jayveeI think it's just 'dhcp'04:50
qman__on mine it's /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server04:51
sekyourboxim in /etc/dhcp3 by the way04:51
jayveeactually, might be sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart04:51
qman__but it might be different04:51
jayveemy memory fails me04:51
qman__sekyourbox, you will need to edit /etc/default/dhcp3-server also04:51
sekyourboxthanks...04:51
qman__I think you can also do "sudo start dhcp3-server" with the new upstart stuff04:53
qman__not sure on that though, I do it the old way04:53
sekyourboxI should memorize the structure, but i usually dont use ubuntu04:54
jayveeonly works if the service is upstart-enabled04:54
sekyourboxand have no idea what that is04:54
qman__well, ubuntu used to use the standard sysvinit style, with all the scripts in /etc/init.d04:55
jayveesekyourbox, don't worry. I suspect most of us get equally confused when we move onto red hat boxes. :)04:55
qman__but now ubuntu uses upstart, and is in a transitional period04:55
qman__where a lot of services have been changed over04:55
qman__but not all of them04:55
jayveewhich is why it's a good idea to use 'service', because it supports both04:55
jayveeif you don't have the 'service' command installed, you are using a version prior to the upstart init script transition04:55
Roxyhart08qman_ i install the hp drivers when i got ubuntu 9.04, but then i udpgrade ubuntu to 9.10, so i dont know if i need to udgrade also the HP drivers, and what happen if i fo that...could i lost the data and everything on the server?04:57
qman__Roxyhart08, just updating the drivers should not affect the data on the array, as long as you don't go fdisking it04:58
qman__though I suggest backing up important files anyway04:58
sekyourbox8.04 i think, lol04:59
Roxyhart08yes, i will do, maybe it could solve the "slow" problem?04:59
qman__Roxyhart08, possibly, be sure to check out the health status of the drives04:59
qman__a failing disk could cause that issue too04:59
Roxyhart08ok, sorry which tool could i use to chek it?05:00
qman__not sure, probably one of the HP tools05:00
qman__the standard tool to check SMART data is smartctl, but I don't know if it will work with your RAID controller05:01
Roxyhart08i think should be05:01

jayveehappens for every VM, although standalone KVM works fine08:48
jayveeI'm really stumped, and I really need to fire up one of these VMs right now.08:49
twbjayvee: is "cgroup" mentioned in dmesg?08:50
twbcgroup is a kernel feature like /proc, you probably need it compiled into your kernel AND to mount it somewhere08:50

ttxin postinst, changing the /etc/default/openvpn file on upgrade to match the previous default value09:17
ttxthe idea being, if we change the default behavior, it shouldn't affect old users relying on the old default behavior09:18
* soren looks09:19
persiattx: You oughtn't need to do that.  If the checksum of the conffile matches the old checksum, it will be silently overridden by the new conffile.  Otherwise you can't guarantee you aren't changing a user's deliberate default.09:19
jayveeI haven't edited /etc/default/openvpn on my 8.04 system, so this patch would disable all my VPN configs09:20
ttxpersia: that's the point, I don't really want that. The new conffile is identical to the previous one09:20
ttxjayvee: no it wouldn't09:20
jayveeoh, actually, that's changed in the postinst09:20
jayveemy mistake09:20
sorenttx: I don't understand the motivation for the change.09:21
persiattx: Hrm?  You mean the updated conffile matches some old conffile differing from that shipped in the current version of the package?09:21
ttxsee bug 427701... but I've been asking myself the same question recently09:21
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 427701 in server-papercuts "OpenVPN client always runs" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42770109:21
sorenttx: I've read the bug. Still don't understand, I'm afraid.09:22
sorenttx: Why would you not want to start openvpn on boot?09:22
persiasoren: Imagine you don't have a network connection at boot.09:22
sorenttx: If you don't want it to run your vpn connections, don't put them there.09:22
jayveeif you used it as a client only, maybe?09:22
ttxpersia: /etc/default/openvpn doesn't set AUTOSTART. In that case, we assumed AUTOSTART=all in the init script09:22
jayveeor used network-manager as a frontend09:22
sorenjayvee: Right. But then why would you put your config files for that in /etc/openvpn ?09:22
ttxsoren: I thought the rationale was that the empty system instance was "blocking" something... but it's not09:23
ttxsoren: so I tend to agree with you09:23
jayveettx is implying that it ships with configs in /etc/openvpn by default09:23
ttxjayvee: it's not09:23
jayvee(I don't remember there being any, but that's just me)09:23
ttxlet me sum up :)09:23
ttxthe bug is about how having AUTOSTART=all by default conflicting wit hsome desktop use cases09:24
jayveedo those cases occur on a fresh system, or only when you have customised /etc/openvpn?09:24
persiattx: Oh, I see.  Don't do it that way.  You want to sed -i "s/#?AUTOSTART=.*/AUTOSTART=$AUTOSTART/"09:24
ttxWhen I first evaluated the bug as papercut candidate, I thought that in the absence of any config, we were starting up something that was binding to ports and prevented other openvpn startups09:25
ttx*but*09:25
persiattx: set AUTOSTART=all before you source /etc/default/openvpn to have a default value.09:25
ttxif no config is defined, we don't start anything.09:25
jayveeno, openvpn doesn't do anything if there's nothing in /etc/openvpn09:25
jayveeon my eee pc, at least09:25
ttxso... I fail to see the rationale for the bug, especially as we would differ from Debian09:26
ttxsoren: so maybe we should just wontfix it09:26
persiaThe bug may have been incorrectly triaged.  It may be that some of the openvpn client scripts for the plugins are overanxious09:26
persiaOr it may be that something has overly broad Recommends:09:27
sorenttx: That what I'm leaning towards.09:27
ttxpersia: the only conflict I could come up with would be if some user script was dumping configs in /etc/openvpn and expecting them not to be run at boot.09:27
sorenNevertheless, the case is interesting.09:27
sorenLet's pretend we wanted to do this.09:28
* soren ponders09:28
ttxsoren: yes, for learning09:28
ttxpersia: assuming we would want to do this, it would actually be OK to change the conffile in postinst on upgrade to explicitly set the value to the old default value ?09:29
sorenI'm wary of even touching a conffile.09:29
persiattx: Hrm.  No.09:29
ttxpersia: ok, that's what I thought09:29
swiftguys, what software do you recommend for displaying MRTG graphs on UBuntu-server8.04?09:29
sorenHowever, if I were to do so, I wouldn't do it unconditionally.09:29
sorenswift: firefox?09:29
persiattx: I'm leaning towards shipping an updated conffile with the defaults that would be desired, and not changing postinst, and letting users who adjusted the conffile sort out any mess that may result.09:30
sorenttx: I would probably store the curren tAUTOSTART value from preinst..09:30
swiftsoren, i mean... which version of MRTG?09:30
sorenswift: Whichever is in Ubuntu 8.04.09:30
ttxpersia: interesting. Just shipping an new default file with AUTOSTART=none uncommented.09:30
sorenswift: 2.14.7-2ubuntu3, apparantly.09:30
swiftsoren,ubuntu comes with MRTG?09:31
sorenswift: Ubuntu comes with /everything/.09:31
sorenAlmost.09:31
swiftsoren, i dont see mrtg on ubuntu09:32
swiftcan i do "apt-get install mrtg-contrib" to get the package.. this is the one for ubuntu 8.04LTS right?09:33
persiaswift: `sudo apt-get install mrtg` should sort that if you happen to not have it installed.09:33
swiftpersia... mrtg-contrib??09:33
sorenswift: Why contrib?09:33
persiaswift: If you want the examples, -contrib works too :)09:34
persiattx: Right.  Shipping the default uncommented would update anyone who wasn't doing something special to use that, which is probably >95% of users.09:34
persiattx: And it lets dpkg sort out whether we're slamming a conffile, etc.09:34
persia(and gives the user options to deal with the merge (albeit not great options))09:35
ttxpersia: but then, people that used to rely on the old default value (AUTOSTART="all") and didn't change their /etc/default/openvpn file would end up not having anything started up at boot09:36
ttx(since the conffile would be replaced, right ?)09:36
persiattx: True.  For extra visibility, document this in NEWS as well as the changelog.09:36
ttxok09:37
persiaThat said, what's the use case for AUTOSTART=all vs. AUTOSTART=none?09:37
persiaTo me it feels like this issue is being solved the wrong way.09:37
sorenYou could show a debconf notice iff there's any connections configured in /etc/openvpn09:38
ttxyou define system-wide VPNs in /etc/openvpn, AUTOSTART controls which, if any, are started at boot.09:38
persiaI think that when OpenVPN is configured host-wide, it should be started by default, and if it's configured per-user (even for user="all users"), it shouldn't.09:38
ttxnone, all, or specifically-named ones.09:38
ttxwell, defining configs in /etc is "configuring system-wide"09:39
persiaSo nm-openvpn (or whatever it's called) and the base openvpn client have different behaviours.09:39
ttxnm-openvpn provides a separate framework for VPN configs09:39
ttxthat supports user-based and system-based definitions09:39
persiaRight.  Like I said, I think the bug is in the desktopy openvpn config tools, not in openvpn itself.09:39
persiaSo is this just a documentation bug?09:39
ttxprobably I'm commenting on it right now09:40
persiaOr a bug in the Kubuntu networking tool?09:40
ttxIt's, at best, unclear where the user-oriented frontends are conflicting with the openvpn "system" mechanism. Set the bug to Incomplete09:45
persiaNeeds deeper triage.09:47
=== pts is now known as pths
sorenThe problem with changing the conffile is that at some point in the future (if the conffile shipped in the package changed later on), he will be prompted about changes that he allegedly (but not actually) made to said conffile.09:51
sorenThe only sound approach (again, if we were to make this change), I can think if is this:09:52
sorenCheck if the user has changed this setting. If he hasn't, check if he has any connections configured in /etc/openvpn. If so, show a debconf notice about this new default behaviour, perhaps along with the one-liner you would have applied to make the change so that the user can make that change himself. If there are no connections configured anyway, nothing will really have changed, so don't bother with the notice.09:54
sorenPerhaps just lower the priority of the notice.09:54

persiaYeah :)11:10

huntsvilleGood Morning all.  Quick question re: Ubuntu Server 9.04, "apt-get upgrade" shows several packages being held back including kernel.  I'm assuming apt-get has a configuration file somewhere where its holding these files back.  Any idea where??13:38
sorenhuntsville: No, that's not how it works.13:39
sorenUsually, they're being held back because they have new dependencies.13:40
sorenhuntsville: Try this: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade13:40
sorenhuntsville: ..and see if that changes things.13:40
huntsvillesoren, ah..13:40
huntsvillesoren, see I don't want to upgrade the dist13:41
huntsvillefrom 9.04 to 9.1013:41
sorenNono.13:41
huntsvillesoren, I'm trying to stay on the LTS13:41
sorenThat's not what it does.13:41
soren9.04 is not an LTS.13:41
soren..but regardless, dist-upgrade does not upgrade you to a new Ubuntu version.13:41
sorenDon't worry :)13:41
jayveedist-upgrade just means "hey, I'm okay if you install some new packages"13:42
sorenPretty much.13:42
huntsvillesoren, ?  I thought all .04 were LTS :)  Been far too long in the RHEL server space13:42
jayveeas opposed to "upgrade" which is an alias for "safe-upgrade", which means "please only upgrade packages, don't install any new ones"13:42
sorenhuntsville: No. 8.04 was an LTS and 10.04 will be an LTS.13:42
huntsvillesoren, ah.13:42
huntsvillejayvee, oh sweet13:42
jayveeevery 2 years is the trend13:42
sorenjayvee: apt-get has no "safe-upgrade"13:43
sorenaptitude does.13:43
jayveeor is that aptitude I'm thinking of13:43
jayveeheh13:43
huntsville:-/ hmm, wondering if I should drop back to 8.04 LTS then.13:43
huntsvillesoren, jayvee, I'm trying to create an ubuntu server build standard for my org13:43
sorenhuntsville: Then 9.04 is not a good bet.13:44
huntsville(dist-upgrade works)13:44
sorenhuntsville: 10.04 is only a month and a half away, fwiw.13:44
jayveeif you have a month or two, it may be wise to wait til lucid13:44
huntsvillehmm, I need to get a vTiger CRM up in 3 weeks.13:44
jayvee8.04 then, definitely13:45
jayveeit's supported until 2012, I think13:45
jayveeor 2013, can't remember13:45
jayvee5 years from 8.04, anyway13:45

sherrmerlijn-: I guess few here run Xen now, or know the answer.15:47
sherrmerlijn-: Have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen15:48
sherrmerlijn-: Plus there is a meta package that might help "ubuntu-xen-server". I would guess that "recommended" is whatever the defaults are on install/update.15:48

ttxMost commands don't have any optional parameter so it's pretty easy to validate. There are a few complex ones that will take more time, though.16:17
sherrmerlijn-: I have to say I am also interested in Xen somewhat. This is mainly because most of my "server" hardware at work is currently a bit too old for h/w vt.16:19
sherrI'd like to virtualise stuff on it. Xen's the only real option.16:20
sherrHowever, Ubuntu seems a little half-hearted with Xen and support is not so good. If I was to go down this route, I'd use stock Debian (stable).16:20

thebwtyou comfortable with the terminal?19:59
icyenot very20:00
icyebut if it's apt get I think we can figure it out20:00
thebwtkk20:00
thebwt'sudo apt-get install ssh' on the server20:00
NCommanderOmahn: its a failure to boot on lucid :-/. karmic is broken due to other issues, but I'm not sure what the underlying issue is specifically :-/20:00
thebwtthe clients don't need it20:00
icyeok and when we are finished with that, what's next?20:00
thebwton a client, open up nautilus20:01
icyeok20:01
OmahnNCommander: I didn't realise Lucid would have any SPARC support?20:01
Omahn\window 220:01
thebwtin the location bar, enter "ssh://"username "@" ip address of the server20:01
* Omahn is obviously tired and failing this evening20:02
thebwtso I use "ssh://thebwt@192.168.15.15" to access my server at 192.168.15.1520:02
NCommanderOmahn: there's been support for SPARC since dapper(?), but its community maintained, so its not guaretted to work in any given release20:02
icyeok I'll give it a shot20:02
thebwtyou'll want to set all the 'clients' up with users on the server20:02
thebwtand use the built in permissions20:02
icyeis it the client username or the server username20:03
thebwtserver20:03
OmahnNCommander: Ah, ok. I didn't realise it even existed. What hardware are you testing on?20:03
NCommanderOmahn: Sunfire 12020:03
icyeok is the the user name we log in with or the name we set when we setup the server20:03
NCommanderOmahn: fairly dated box, but it gets the job done20:03
icyeie. the terminal name20:03
thebwticye: log in username20:04
OmahnNCommander: Yeah, we have plenty of them, many still in production use.20:04
thebwticye: that other name is 'host name'20:04
icyeah20:04
OmahnNCommander: Does any documentation exist for the SPARC port?20:04
NCommanderOmahn: yeah, there's an official installation manual20:04
NCommanderOmahn: CDs are sometimes flakely though, I find SILO is a real crapshoot if it works on ANY hardware when not booting from HDD20:04
thebwticye: any luck?20:05
icyeyes!20:05
icyeomfg ty20:05
thebwticye: no problem20:06
NCommanderOmahn: if you grab one of the SPARC CDs from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com, and then burn itr and do boot cdrom, it should just start the installer20:06
icyeso we have the file sharing, how can we use this to run applications20:06
thebwticye: that depends strongly on teh application. Is it a gui application?20:07
icyeyes but ubuntu desktop is installed on the server20:07
NCommanderOmahn: I've only installed over serial console (no video card in my server)20:07
thebwticye: kk this requires the terminal (but you can make this a script, need to elarn the commands first)20:08
icye thebwt we have gnome GUI installed on the server20:08
thebwticye: *nods* thats great20:08
icye thebwt what commands will we need?20:08
thebwton the client, pop open a terminal20:08
thebwt'ssh' is all you need20:08
OmahnNCommander: I'm not onsite again until Thursday but I'll see if I can grab one of the spare boxes to do some testing.20:08
thebwtbut20:08
thebwtit's already on the clients20:08
icyeok terminal is open20:08
thebwtkk20:08
NCommanderOmahn: well, I'm trying a fresh install and upgrade, which may fix it, since karmic was completely foobar'ed on SPARC20:09
thebwt"ssh user@server-ip -X"20:09
OmahnNCommander: Remind me again, why? :-)20:09
icyeok do we enter that20:09
NCommanderOmahn: bug in upstart causes it to segfault, causing init to crash and ...20:09
NCommanderOmahn: (well, bug in libnih which upstart uses)20:09
thebwticye: yes20:10
thebwtlet me know when you're logged in20:10
OmahnNCommander: No, I mean why would you want to carry on using SPARC?20:10
icyepermission denied20:10
blackxoredhow i setup a cname record in bind for a SOA pointing at google.com domain20:10
blackxored???20:10
NCommanderOmahn: SPARC's a cool architecture :-)20:10
thebwticye: did you use the server login username?20:10
icyeyes20:10
icyeoh another client got in20:11
thebwtkk20:11
thebwtand you have the -X on the end?20:11
icyeyep20:11
OmahnNCommander: Mmmm, I think the only SPARC kit I would use today (for new systems) would be the T220:11
thebwtkk20:11
thebwttype 'gedit'20:11
icyeok20:11
NCommanderOmahn: should be new enough for Ubuntu sparc  to work20:11
icyeits says GTK warning cannot open display20:12
thebwtthe -X, makes sure the X is capitalized20:12

diagoHello, I'm having a hell of a time trying to get Windows Server 2003 installed using kvm20:13
diagoI'm running virt-install and trying to connect vnc only to get connection refused20:14
icyewe got the document open20:14
icyewhat's nexty20:14
icyenext*20:14
thebwticye: that gedit application is running onthe server20:14
NCommandercoffeedude: if you have access to a Windows Server machine that we can maybe setup a VPN or equivelent to, we could probably do the necessary testing with conjuction with members of the server team20:15
thebwticye: though, the more I talk to you, the more I think you want a full remote login environment. Don't you20:15
icyeok can we apply that to something different like a game20:15
diagoWho should own the dir were the image goes?20:15
icyeidk, do we?20:15

thebwticye: a 3d game? If it is high end 3d grpahics stuff, that may no work so well20:15
thebwtdiago: are you running it all with sudo?20:16
coffeedudeNCommander, Sure.  That sounds good.  I've got access to most OS types a far amount of hardware....20:16
icyeno like 2d chess or something already installed on ubuntu cause this is a school assignment nothing big20:16

blackxored<blackxored> ???20:17
coffeedudeNCommander, I'll email you an update later today and we can work out the details,.20:17

blackxored<blackxored> doesn't seem to work20:17
NCommandercoffeedude: thanks, I'll make sure that email also gets to other people who need to test it if thats ok20:17
thebwtdiago: have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/CreateGuests#Example%20Windows%20install20:17
coffeedudeNCommander, It's useful people in certain environments and irrelevant to people in others :)  Like all software.20:17
thebwticye: in that ssh session, type /usr/games/glchess20:18
thebwticye: "/usr/games/glchess"20:18
thebwtw/o the quotes20:18
NCommandercoffeedude: heh :-)20:18
icyeAnd this will run the chess game?20:18
thebwticye: yes20:18
icyeWhat about installing a program and running it via LAN?20:18
thebwtyou are running that via lan20:19
thebwtthe chess game is running on the server20:19
thebwtand displaying on the client20:19
thebwthmm20:19
icyeI meant, running a game and having other clients also playing that game, connected together20:19
diagothebwt: Everything there is exactly what I have done so I'm not sure what the issue is20:20
diagoI get this after running virt-install: Starting install... libvir: QEMU error :20:21
heynowhi all - can anyone confirm that this ethernet controller is compatible with 8.04 OTB HP NC107i in a Proliant DL120 G620:22
diagothen it continues and says .. install in progress blah blah20:22
icyeI'm guessing, to prove that we successfully installed and ran a program from the server, we would need some program not already installed on the other desktops, the clients.20:22
thebwtyup20:22
diagoalso I can't specify arch x86 for some reason20:22
=== rberger_ is now known as rberger
thebwtdiago: I recommend #ubuntu-virt (the ubuntu virtualization channel)20:24
thebwtdiago: it sounds like qemu isn't installed or is misconfigured20:24
diagook thanks20:24
icyeWe will find a program to run, but if the program has a LAN connection capability (Such as the Chess can access a server to play with other humans), would this allow us to run the game and access the LAN to play together all through the server?20:25
thebwticye: no20:25
thebwticye: I'm not sure how you would do that20:25
thebwticye: maybe vnc would20:25
icyevnc?20:25
thebwticye: I'm just not sure if vnc allows siumotanious connections20:26
PiciIt can20:26
thebwtPici: do you think it would do what icye is wanting?20:26
icyeSo ssh doesn't allow similtaenous connections?20:26
thebwticye: hmm it is different20:26
thebwticye: ssh is, but this has to do with x server (the display server) sharing. You need an abstraction over that, which vnc provides.20:28
icyeMore importantly, is there a way to have these games open from an icon, rather then having to type it in the terminal? Would that basically be changing the filepath of an icon to the filepath on the server?20:29
thebwticye: that would be the script I mentioned earlier.20:29
icyeAhh20:29
thebwticye: really though, this is all just a hack to make it work. The functionality you desire would need to be built into the application in question20:30
thebwticye: for it to work well.20:30
icyeI'm guessing the majority of games don't have this functionality built in. Do you know of any that do?20:30
thebwticye: games with client-server connections, yea I know a few20:30
thebwtfreeciv20:31
thebwtopen arena20:31
thebwthmm20:31
thebwtnot sure beyond that20:31
thebwtI'm not sure I understand the full purpose I guess.20:31
icyeThese are in the repositories that we should all ready have access to, or from a webpage?20:31
thebwtrepository20:32
icyehow would we install one of them?20:32
icyejust apt install openarena?20:33
thebwticye: at this point you're question is no longer really server related. You should move to #ubuntu. The way to install applications is syste->admin->Synaptic package manager. Use the search function to search for the applications.20:33
icyeOk.20:34
icyeThat is all the questions we can think of. Thank you for your time.20:34
thebwtIt was fun :)20:34
JollyMeckHello guys! I have a server with ubuntu 9.10 and i wonder if it is possible to somehow setup the syslog to send information to my desktop computer ?20:37
jcastroJollyMeck: search for "remote syslog"20:41
jcastrohttp://www.debuntu.org/how-to-remote-syslog-logging-debian-and-ubuntu20:41
jcastrosoemthing like that20:42
JollyMeckjcastro: thanks20:42
MTecknologyjcastro: I would have loved that link ~4mo ago20:50
jcastrocentralized logging ftw20:50
MTecknologyjcastro: ya, I figured it out but a pretty guide like that would have been ncie20:50
MTecknologyjcastro: mostly because I mail the logs to myself nightly20:51
\shjcastro: bah...it still uses sysklogd and not rsyslog ;)20:51
jcastroyeah whichever syslog daemon we ship by default.20:51
\shrsyslog that is...20:52
jcastrothere are likely 5 out-of-date wiki pages on wiki.ubuntu.com on the subject I'm sure20:52
MTecknologyjcastro: the story of rapidly changing technology20:53
\shhopefully when we are finished here with our solution we can write something up covering: centralized syslogging from network appliances, from ubuntu server, from tomcat application logs via log4j etc. including bringing the different logs to admins, developers and managers ;)20:53
\shincluding: "which storage solution behind that magic box"20:54
