| histo | okay figured out why my server was locking up. I had to set the acpi=off in grub to solve the issue on a dell optiplex 170l | 00:52 |

| Carter | hello | 05:43 |
| Carter | i just installed the 9.10 release(64 bit) and i am having trouble getting to the desktop environment...i logged in but i am at the command prompt..this is my first attempt with linux | 05:46 |
| persia | You installed the 9.10 release of Ubuntu Server? | 05:46 |
| Carter | yes | 05:46 |
| persia | By default, there isn't a Desktop Environment. | 05:47 |
| Carter | thats what i thought because i did startx and it wanted to install | 05:47 |
| persia | Yeah :) | 05:47 |
| Carter | then everywhere i wiki's said the distro comes with it | 05:47 |
| persia | You can install Ubuntu Desktop on the machine, but it's generally recommended to run headless. | 05:47 |
| Carter | ahh | 05:47 |
| persia | (for a server) | 05:47 |
| persia | So you might install Ubuntu Desktop on some workstation you use for management, and then install Ubuntu Server on several machines you're managing from there. | 05:48 |
| persia | Just because that saves the resources (ram, disk, processor) required to run a desktop environment on a server. | 05:49 |
| Carter | ok..thanks i might give that a try | 05:49 |
| Carter | well its mostly going to just be a web server | 05:49 |
| persia | Yeah, then it doesn't really need a desktop :) | 05:49 |
| persia | I think most folk generally just use ssh+byobu to access/manage their servers, and have a richer client envronment somewhere else. | 05:50 |
| Carter | yeah ive done a lot of window server environments so i am used to the gui's | 05:51 |

| nightrid3r | i need an smtp that will relay based on user/pass and uses ssl | 12:10 |
| Anirban | what amount of RAM shld I have on my server to send 35,000 emails of 500kb size per day ? | 12:17 |
| persia | How fast do you want to send them? All at once, or one every couple seconds? | 12:18 |
| Anirban | persia : one every couple of seconds | 12:19 |
| persia | How often do you plan to process the mail queue? | 12:19 |
| Anirban | will use ubuntu server | 12:19 |
| Anirban | everyday 35,000 email , to different clients , its email marketing | 12:19 |
| persia | How often do you plan to process the mail queue? | 12:20 |
| Anirban | twice or thrice per day | 12:21 |
| persia | OK. So if it's thrice a day: | 12:22 |
| persia | You want to process about 12000 mails in the queue, which is going to be about 6GB. | 12:22 |
| persia | And you want about 256-512MB for the base system. | 12:23 |
| persia | So, for best performance, I'd recommend 7 or 8 GB. | 12:23 |
| persia | If you process more often, you need less RAM. | 12:23 |
| Anirban | actually I am not very clear abt processing ... whats email processing ... | 12:24 |
| Anirban | persia: can u plz explain a bit | 12:25 |
| persia | You may want to investigate how mail servers work a bit more before engaging in this plan. | 12:25 |
| persia | I don't think I can explain enough in the time I'm willing to commit to make sure you have the knowledge you need to be successful. | 12:26 |
| nightrid3r | i need an smtp that will relay based on user/pass and uses ssl | 12:26 |
| persia | nightrid3r: Does postfix not work for you? | 12:27 |
| nightrid3r | right, i'll look into that | 12:28 |
| Anirban | which one do u rcmd for an email server postfix / sendmail ? | 12:47 |
| persia | postfix is the recommended mailserver for Ubuntu. | 12:50 |
| Anirban | persia : actually I am planning to setup a null client email server . only one/ two person will log in to that server , draft the email and press the SEND button | 13:03 |
| persia | Generally it's easier to compose mail somewhere else and send through a server than compose on a server, but either use postfix and some text-based client, or pick a different mailserver. I know of none that match that description. | 13:05 |
| Anirban | persia : We will use roundcube as email drafting software on server | 13:09 |

| areay | hi all... none of my clients could log on yesterday, i traced the problem to an nfs error: "lockd: cannot monitor <client>" from the server, and "lockd: server <server> not responding, still trying" from the clients. literally after logging into gdm all i'm left with is a cursor and a brown background... i've tried a 'dpkg-reconfigure nfs-kernel-server', i've tried upgrading the server and clients to fix the problem... unfortunate | 16:06 |
| areay | ly the only way i'm even able to log anyone in is unmounting the nfs home directories and remounting individual users' home directories using sshfs (not a sustainable solution)... anyone have any ideas on how i can get my nfs working again? | 16:06 |
| areay | using jaunty on the server and karmic on the clients btw... not sure if that's affecting anything | 16:12 |
| slick666 | Hello all I've tried to install the linux-image-virtual package and it keeps failing to install for me | 16:16 |
| slick666 | I was wondering if anyone here has had problems with that package as well | 16:16 |
| ChmEarl | slick666, yes - recently wrestled with it | 16:16 |
| slick666 | did you get it eventually? | 16:17 |
| ChmEarl | yes - there is a collision when the extract happens | 16:17 |
| ChmEarl | what is the err msg pls? | 16:17 |
| slick666 | one sec, got to scroll back | 16:18 |
| slick666 | Done. | 16:18 |
| slick666 | dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.31-20-virtual_2.6.31-20.57_amd64.deb (--unpack): | 16:18 |
| slick666 | trying to overwrite '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-20-server', which is also in package linux-image-2.6.31-20-server 0:2.6.31-20.57 | 16:18 |
| slick666 | dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) | 16:18 |
| ChmEarl | slick666, yes exactly my err too | 16:19 |
| slick666 | did you have to remove linux-image-server? | 16:19 |
| ChmEarl | check dpkg -l linux-image* | 16:19 |
| slick666 | kk | 16:19 |
| ChmEarl | see if you have any older versions of server kernel | 16:20 |
| slick666 | lol, 1 sec I got to post this | 16:20 |
| ChmEarl | yes or no is OK | 16:20 |
| slick666 | yes | 16:21 |
| ChmEarl | so you have 31-20 and version? | 16:21 |
| slick666 | 19, 17, 16, 15, 14 | 16:21 |
| ChmEarl | ok good. Here's my recipe | 16:21 |
| ChmEarl | you want reboot the VM into an older server kernel | 16:22 |
| ChmEarl | then since the image-virtual install is colliding you need to first remove it:apt-get remove linux-virtual linux-image-virtual | 16:23 |
| ChmEarl | then remove the latest linux-image-server (specify version), then reinstall the virtual stuff | 16:24 |
| slick666 | ok, cool | 16:24 |
| slick666 | thanks | 16:24 |
| ChmEarl | that worked for me... its great as long as you have fast internet | 16:24 |
| ChmEarl | make sure when you uninstall linux-image server that you give exact version | 16:25 |
| slick666 | will do | 16:25 |
| slick666 | thanks again | 16:25 |
| ChmEarl | np - feliz sabado | 16:26 |
| katol | hello, i need to install a most recent version of apache on hardy but it says it is already the "newest version" | 18:05 |
| katol | may i use a dpkg from another version or something like that? | 18:05 |
| qman__ | katol, you will have to install a backported version | 18:07 |
| qman__ | if you haven't already, enable the backports repository | 18:07 |
| qman__ | if the version you want isn't backported, you'll have to backport it yourself, find someone else who has backported it on the web, or compile from source | 18:07 |
| qman__ | or upgrade to a newer release | 18:08 |
| katol | qman__: nice, I didn't knew about the backports repository. it should work for this case, thank ou very much :) | 18:09 |
| katol | *you | 18:09 |
| david_ | Looking for name resolution help for linux to windows. I'm running samba. ping machinename -resolves to an external IP address. nmblookup machine name returns the correct internal ip address. What's up? | 19:21 |
| david_ | machinename is the correct name of a Windows XP machine on the internal network. | 19:22 |
| alex_joni | maybe it's defined in /etc/hosts ? | 19:23 |
| Ninjix | david_: what do you see when you tail your samba logs? | 19:28 |
| david_ | checked it's not hosts file on has 2 127 entries. It coming from my local DNS proxy server. How do I get it to do name resolution via samba before DNS? | 19:30 |
| persia | Does the lucid linux-image-server support EFI & GPT? | 19:33 |
| persia | (or does anyone have any pointers I could use to try to find out?) | 19:34 |
| sherr | david_: Samba has DNS specific options in the smb.conf file. | 19:37 |
| sherr | Samba will go various places in a specified order to resolve names. | 19:38 |
| sherr | But it is not a DNS server. | 19:38 |
| sherr | I have had a few runs in with name resolution with Samba/windows/dns/dhcp ... painful sometimes. I have to return to it ... | 19:39 |
| Aison | hello, I installed ubuntu-server on my old P4. I built-in some SATA Controller and SATA drive | 19:40 |
| Aison | installation worked without any problems | 19:40 |
| Aison | but now the machine don't boot?!? the bios detects the drive but claims that it's not bootable | 19:41 |
| Aison | any ideas what meight be the problem? | 19:42 |
| sherr | Aison: Ubuntu 9.10 server? | 19:42 |
| Aison | yes | 19:43 |
| sherr | Can you try pressing SHIFT just before you would expect booting to start - see if you get the Grub menu (assuming grub2) | 19:43 |
| sherr | If you can get the Grub2 menu - maybe go to the lernel line and "e" to edit, and take off the "quiet splash" options. | 19:44 |
| sherr | *kernel line* | 19:44 |
| david_ | The name resolve order in my smb.conf is: name resolve order = wins host lmhosts bcast. It does resolve correctly through nmblookup -just not thourg the regular ping command. | 19:44 |
| Aison | I don't get the menu, because the bios says, the device is not bootable. | 19:45 |
| sherr | Aison: Not sure then. maybe boot from CD and try a "fix system"? | 19:45 |
| sherr | david_: but "ping" doesn't use WINS | 19:46 |
| sherr | david_: sorry ... this is windows "ping" I guess? | 19:46 |
| sherr | "host" in smb.conf means use standard *nix name resolution i.e. DNS, hosts file etc. | 19:48 |
| sherr | But my brain hurts when I try and think this stuff through sometimes! As I said, I have had trouble with this myself ... | 19:48 |
| david_ | Mine also. I gues the real problem is that my DNS server returns an IP for a local machine name instaed of failing -my backup software would then try a samba name lookup. Since it getting an external IP address from the DNS server my ping fails. Thanks for the attempt. | 19:51 |
| david_ | I can put an entry in the hosts file and all works fine. Just a pain from a maintenance standpoint. | 19:52 |
| sherr | david_: My laptop is called "thera" and is in my laptop hosts file. I can http browse it. If I try and browse "http://thera" on another machine (with no hosts file entry) it does to DNS and returns an internet company thera.com (IIRC). | 19:53 |
| sherr | Have a look at : dnsmasq | 19:54 |
| sherr | It is a) a DNS server b) DHCP server. | 19:54 |
| sherr | It can server /etc/hosts via DNS and DHCP records via DNS - maybe of use. | 19:54 |
| david_ | Thanks for the tip -now you have me thinkinhg that I can add the entry to my firewall hosts file and accomplish the same thing. Thanks! | 20:04 |
