| cbrowne | I'm having immense trouble setting up my Ubuntu 9.10 server as a Wireless Access Point; I've followed the various howtos and even tried compiling 2.6.32-wl (the rt2x00 project's kernel), all to absolutely no avail; chipset (according to lspci): "03:0b.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI"; lsmod confirms I have the rt61pci module installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated (sorry for the uber long message) | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| cbrowne | ping... | 00:21 |
| Hypnoz | I had problems with wireless in 9.10, which worked perfectly in 9.04 | 00:35 |
| Hypnoz | so i finally went back to 9.04 | 00:35 |
| Hypnoz | you might consider trying your setup on a 9.04 install | 00:35 |
| Hypnoz | if you get desperate i guess | 00:35 |

| ruben23 | hi are there ways to optimize ubuntu-server default.. | 01:18 |
| qman__ | ruben23, you're going to have to be more specific -- ubuntu server is optimized for typical situations out of the box | 01:23 |
| ruben23 | qman__: what are ways i can enhance and optimize ubuntu-server. my application need extensive processing... | 01:30 |
| qman__ | ruben23, ubuntu server has no superfluous or performance-hindering configurations by default | 01:44 |
| qman__ | there are some things you may be able to remove, but they would also remove functionality | 01:44 |
| qman__ | if a base ubuntu server install is not fast enough, you probably need faster hardware | 01:44 |
| ruben23 | qman__:ill take that...i just heard from other modifying kernel stack to preven memory leak.it hink thats wrong. | 01:53 |
| qman__ | a memory leak is a different problem | 01:54 |
| qman__ | if your kernel is leaking memory, it needs to be fixed, probably by updating it | 01:54 |
| qman__ | if your program is leaking, you need to complain to whoever wrote it | 01:55 |
| ruben23 | qman__: thank you for clarity. | 02:00 |
| MTecknology | qman__: there's ways to speed it up... | 02:07 |
| MTecknology | I figure it's the perfect balance between instant usability, security, and speed | 02:08 |
| MTecknology | although I wouldn't mind sacraficing a little usability for the sake of more security | 02:08 |
| ruben23 | MTecknology:hows that..? | 02:09 |
| * genii sacrifices a goat to MTecknology's cause | 02:09 | |
| MTecknology | giovani: :P | 02:10 |
| MTecknology | genii: * | 02:10 |
| MTecknology | ruben23: I tend to remove a lot of cruft from a basic server install, but overall it's not bad | 02:11 |
| MTecknology | I kinda wish we offered a hardened kernel | 02:11 |
| MTecknology | genii: you should see my kernel config :P | 02:11 |
| ruben23 | MTecknology:you re compile the kernel. | 02:14 |
| MTecknology | ruben23: ya, for my own laptop (only system) - not the servers I run | 02:15 |
| ruben23 | ow ok, im just worried on my ubuntu-server i ahd it keeps getting high loadavg- up 12.0:-( | 02:16 |
| MTecknology | you check top output? | 02:18 |
| === robbiew is now known as robbiew_ | ||
| ruben23 | im using htop | 02:19 |
| Pici | ruben23: how many cpus? | 02:20 |
| MTecknology | I don't trust htop, never seems completely accurate | 02:20 |
| ruben23 | i got dual core xeon-intel. | 02:21 |
| ruben23 | 2.4Ghz | 02:21 |
| Pici | Check iotop then | 02:21 |
| ruben23 | Pici: i think the application itself are putting the high load | 02:23 |
| bogeyd6 | MTecknology, how is htop not accurate? | 02:23 |
| ruben23 | whats the difference betwwen buffer memory to cached memory.. | 02:24 |
| MTecknology | apache under any normal use seems to add a plenty high load | 02:24 |
| bogeyd6 | buffer is in the processor | 02:24 |
| bogeyd6 | MTecknology, im interested in the specifics of htop being inaccurate | 02:25 |
| ruben23 | how about cached..? | 02:25 |
| MTecknology | cached is held in memory but not being used, for being quickly recalled | 02:25 |
| bogeyd6 | MTecknology, i ask because a) i assume you are not a troll b) i use htop and rely on it for my consulting | 02:26 |
| bogeyd6 | cached is the ram | 02:26 |
| bogeyd6 | Cache Memory can be accessed more quickly by the computer microprocessor than it can be accessed by regular RAM | 02:26 |
| bogeyd6 | well cached is usually in the ram | 02:27 |
| MTecknology | bogeyd6: there are times where I see top and htop disagree | 02:27 |
| bogeyd6 | run on the same box? | 02:28 |
| MTecknology | ya | 02:29 |
| MTecknology | same time | 02:29 |
| MTecknology | buffer = being moved around; used = ready for instant use; cached = ready to become ready for instant use; free means nothing there to be used | 02:29 |
| MTecknology | best as I know how to explain it very simply unless i'm wrong | 02:29 |
| bogeyd6 | i know about the memory usage calculation | 02:30 |
| MTecknology | bogeyd6: I could be wrong and there could be bugs that were addressed in the time since I used it last - ~4yr | 02:30 |
| bogeyd6 | but running htop and top at the same is very easy to see the disagreement and why | 02:30 |
| Pici | I've not had any issues running htop myself | 02:31 |
| bogeyd6 | Pici, you did on the memory calculation and didnt know it | 02:31 |
| bogeyd6 | Pici, fear not it was just the buffer usage | 02:32 |
| pmatulis | ruben23: you have a cpu load of 12.0 ? for how long? | 02:33 |
| ruben23 | pmatulis:actually i start at 0.89 then rising.then eventually ill get 12.0 when full usage then my apps crashed up. need to reboot again | 02:34 |
| ruben23 | to correct. | 02:34 |
| bogeyd6 | ruben23, which app? | 02:34 |
| pmatulis | ruben23: geez, change your h/w and/or your app | 02:35 |
| ruben23 | bogeyd6: its a dialer system..for voice calling-asterisk, and he do recordings | 02:35 |
| bogeyd6 | ruben23, i read your past convo and it seems no one told about the ubuntu linux rt kernel | 02:35 |
| bogeyd6 | <ruben23> qman__: what are ways i can enhance and optimize ubuntu-server. my application need extensive processing... | 02:35 |
| ruben23 | bogeyd6: yes whats rt kernel.? | 02:36 |
| bogeyd6 | real time processing | 02:36 |
| bogeyd6 | linux has an inherent delay in processing | 02:36 |
| pmatulis | ruben23: even a consistent load of 2.0 is terrible | 02:36 |
| bogeyd6 | !realtime | 02:36 |
| MTecknology | bogeyd6: so what happens with it? had to run | 02:36 |
| ruben23 | pmatulis: yeah its true..worst is 12.0 | 02:36 |
| bogeyd6 | !rt | ruben23 | 02:37 |
| ubottu | ruben23: The RT kernel is the Ubuntu kernel with a realtime preemption patch applied. It is included in Ubuntu Studio by default. For more information please see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime/ | 02:37 |

| bogeyd6 | ruben23, just to help even further Real-time applications have operational deadlines between some triggering event and the application's response to that event. To meet these operational deadlines, programmers use real-time operating systems (RTOS) on which the maximum response time can be calculated or measured reliably for the given application and environment. | 02:38 |
| ruben23 | th recommend distro version for my apps is ubuntu-server 8.10 LTS | 02:39 |
| bogeyd6 | 8.04 lts | 02:39 |
| ruben23 | bogeyd6: this process is kernel recompile and patching it up..? | 02:39 |
| ruben23 | sorry | 02:39 |
| MTecknology | !lts | 02:39 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 02:39 |
| bogeyd6 | ruben23, as simple as apt-get install linux-rt | 02:40 |
| ruben23 | bogeyd6:ow , wow this is a big help.. | 02:40 |
| bogeyd6 | reboot and try it | 02:40 |
| bogeyd6 | if you dont like, remove it and reboot | 02:40 |
| MTecknology | I wonder how hard it is to write a useful OS from scratch... | 02:41 |
| bogeyd6 | upgrading to karmic will be even more beneficial but who knows if your app is supported | 02:41 |
| MTecknology | gnu hasn't even been able to do it yet - obviously i couldn't, i'm just wondering what kind of work goes into it.. | 02:41 |
| MTecknology | ruben23: what app? | 02:42 |
| bogeyd6 | MTecknology, debian sarge had over 230 million lines of code | 02:42 |
| MTecknology | that's with the kernel and everything? | 02:42 |
| ruben23 | MTecknology: asterisk, with a couple of record apps, like sox and lame. | 02:42 |
| bogeyd6 | MTecknology, the whole release | 02:43 |
| bogeyd6 | ruben23, linux-rt is included in ubuntu studio because of the audio and video processing | 02:43 |
| MTecknology | bogeyd6: if you have 10 million devs that's ion 23 million lines each :P | 02:43 |
| bogeyd6 | ruben23, asterisk is available on karmic | 02:43 |

| ruben23 | bogeyd6:does karmic already have the rt kernel..? | 02:49 |
| bogeyd6 | ruben23, no it doesnt. you install and you "sudo apt-get install linux-rt" and reboot the server | 02:50 |

| sekyourbox | I cant set up a server with network manager | 05:11 |
| MTecknology | sekyourbox: hm? | 05:20 |
| sekyourbox | MTecknology | 05:21 |
| MTecknology | sekyourbox: vim /etc/networking/interfaces | 05:21 |
| sekyourbox | I know how to set it up, i just need to know how to get wpa_supplicant to recognise the driver. | 05:22 |
| twb | sekyourbox: you generally want the generic wext driver these days. | 05:22 |
| MTecknology | you just need to have the driver loaded, the rest should be magic | 05:22 |
| sekyourbox | Wext isn't working for me | 05:24 |
| sekyourbox | it connects but wont grab a DHCP address | 05:24 |
| sekyourbox | I dont want to set up a static address | 05:24 |
| sekyourbox | AND i want to use madwifi | 05:24 |
| MTecknology | why don't yyou want a static ip for a server? | 05:25 |
| sekyourbox | because the wpa part of the setup has nothing to do with my server. I need to setup a PXE server for a seperate subnet in my lan | 05:26 |
| sekyourbox | so its actually a workstation/server | 05:27 |
| sekyourbox | I will also eventually be setting other things that need network manager to be disabled | 05:27 |
| sekyourbox | looks like I need to re-compile wpa_supplicant | 05:39 |

| ricdanger1 | hi there | 14:08 |
| ricdanger1 | I'm testing ubuntu 10.04 and find something really annoying | 14:08 |
| ricdanger1 | no verbose output on boot | 14:08 |
| ricdanger1 | is there a way to fix this? | 14:08 |
| twb | Remove "quiet" from the kernel boot parameters. | 14:12 |
| === Guest40026 is now known as au | ||
| twb | Depending on what you mean by "verbose". | 14:12 |
| ricdanger1 | nop | 14:13 |
| twb | I think there's further output if you add "debug" or someting. | 14:13 |
| ricdanger1 | kernel messages show fine | 14:13 |
| === au is now known as Guest72928 | ||
| twb | ricdanger1: did you install from the server CD? | 14:13 |
| ricdanger1 | but everything from init-bottom is just black | 14:13 |
| ricdanger1 | sure | 14:13 |
| ricdanger1 | both minimal and regular | 14:13 |
| ricdanger1 | btw, regular installs plymouth. | 14:13 |
| twb | Oh, it's THAT | 14:13 |
| twb | Hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 | 14:13 |
| ricdanger1 | so there is a splash, but still no boot messages | 14:13 |
| twb | There's a vt switching issue. | 14:14 |
| ricdanger1 | Ctrl+Alt+F1 shows the caret scrolling vertically but not a single output from init scripts | 14:14 |
| ricdanger1 | it's like the messages are being printed black in black | 14:14 |
| twb | OK, at this point I'm just going to say that I don't know. | 14:14 |
| ricdanger1 | this is really annoying | 14:15 |
| twb | I can probably fix it from first principles, but I don't have hardware that can run plymouth to test a 10.04 image against. | 14:15 |
| ricdanger1 | hope it gets fixed | 14:15 |
| ricdanger1 | do you know where can I fill a bug for thgis? | 14:15 |
| ricdanger1 | twbn: without plymouth (virtual or minimal install), you only get a black space without any output | 14:15 |
| twb | Dunno | 14:15 |
| ricdanger1 | so, the problem is there | 14:15 |
| twb | The usual ubuntu bug reporting procedures should apply | 14:16 |
| ricdanger1 | sure | 14:16 |
| twb | !malone | 14:16 |
| ubottu | Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ | 14:16 |
| ricdanger1 | but what package should this be related? | 14:16 |
| ricdanger1 | I filled on upstart | 14:16 |
| twb | ricdanger1: best guess, and they'll reassign it if you're wrong | 14:16 |
| twb | upstart or plymouth are reasonable guesses IMO | 14:16 |
| ricdanger1 | btw | 14:18 |
| ricdanger1 | http://launchpadlibrarian.net/41417613/LucidBoot.png | 14:18 |
| ricdanger1 | here is the boot result | 14:18 |
| ricdanger1 | the more services I add, the more scrolled down the prompt is | 14:19 |
| twb | Hmm, what provides the LSB script library | 14:19 |
| twb | ricdanger1: do you have lsb-base installed? Check its bug list. | 14:19 |
| ricdanger1 | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/0.6.5-5 | 14:20 |
| ricdanger1 | they have here something about foreground color | 14:20 |
| ricdanger1 | fixed on 0.6.5-5 (the one I'm running) | 14:20 |
| ricdanger1 | maybe this is why the text is black now | 14:20 |

| jmazaredo | i need!\ | 17:39 |
| RoyK^ | how? | 17:39 |
| RoyK^ | proxying? | 17:39 |
| RoyK^ | iptables can help you, but a simple redirect is easier | 17:40 |
| jmazaredo | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1434586 | 17:40 |
| jmazaredo | thats my problem | 17:40 |
| RoyK^ | <?php header("Location: http://newbox"); ?> | 17:40 |
| jmazaredo | posted in the thread | 17:40 |
| jmazaredo | iptables perhaps | 17:40 |
| jmazaredo | iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i wlan0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.155:80 | 17:41 |
| jmazaredo | iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 80 -i wlan0 -j ACCEPT | 17:41 |
| jmazaredo | the problem is the other box is in virtualbox | 17:41 |
| RoyK^ | why would that be a problem? | 17:41 |
| RoyK^ | if using NAT in vbox, you'll need their own port forward | 17:42 |
| jmazaredo | the adapter is bridged | 17:42 |
| jmazaredo | so they are on same network | 17:42 |
| RoyK^ | sorry. fell out | 17:45 |
| jmazaredo | :) | 17:46 |
| jmazaredo | in the internet i only see forwarding external to internal | 17:47 |
| RoyK^ | there isn't really a big difference | 17:47 |
| RoyK^ | just two sides | 17:47 |
| jmazaredo | so this command what will this do? iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i wlan0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.155:80 | 17:48 |
| jmazaredo | all request from that pc will go to 192.168.0.155:80? | 17:48 |
| RoyK^ | yes | 17:49 |
| jmazaredo | iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 80 -i wlan0 -j ACCEPT | 17:49 |
| RoyK^ | that is, it'll forward the request | 17:49 |
| jmazaredo | that one? | 17:49 |
| RoyK^ | that one will accept routing in the FORWARD chain if that is already blocked by policy | 17:50 |
| RoyK^ | if the policy is ACCEPT, it won't do much | 17:50 |
| jmazaredo | ok will try to sabotage my pc now :) | 17:50 |
| jmazaredo | i will run the command | 17:50 |
| RoyK^ | you'll have to make sure ip forwarding is enabled in the kernel, though | 17:50 |
| RoyK^ | well, no, I don't think you will need that | 17:50 |
| jmazaredo | think all kernels can forward | 17:51 |
| RoyK^ | they _can_ | 17:51 |
| jmazaredo | using 8.04 desktop | 17:51 |
| RoyK^ | I can jump out of the window, but that doesn't make it likely for me to want to | 17:51 |
| jmazaredo | 0_0 | 17:51 |
| RoyK^ | see sysctl -a | grep forward | 17:52 |
| RoyK^ | there's a setting in kernel wheather or not to do ip forwarding | 17:52 |
| jmazaredo | its all = 0? | 17:53 |
| RoyK^ | then kernel won't forward packages | 17:53 |
| jmazaredo | why is that | 17:53 |
| RoyK^ | well, just set it to 1 | 17:53 |
| RoyK^ | /etc/sysctl.conf | 17:54 |
| RoyK^ | you don't necessarily want your box to work as a router | 17:54 |
| jmazaredo | firestarter makes your box like a router right? | 17:55 |
| RoyK^ | just enable ipv4 routing | 17:56 |
| RoyK^ | in sysctl.conf | 17:56 |
| jmazaredo | got it | 17:56 |
| RoyK^ | it's the kernel doing the routing after all | 17:56 |
| RoyK^ | not some fancy userspace software | 17:56 |
| jmazaredo | :) | 17:57 |
| jmazaredo | will restart the network dont jump on the window ok | 17:57 |
| RoyK^ | hehe | 17:57 |
| RoyK^ | jmazaredo: there's no need to restart anything to make those changes work | 17:58 |
| RoyK^ | just sysctl -p | 17:58 |
| jmazaredo | still aint workin | 18:01 |
| jmazaredo | will try again | 18:02 |
| RoyK^ | jmazaredo: there's no need to restart anything to make those changes work | 18:02 |
| RoyK^ | just sysctl -p | 18:02 |
| RoyK^ | telnet to ip:port to see what's happening | 18:02 |
| jmazaredo | nothing | 18:05 |
| jmazaredo | will try to flush | 18:05 |
| RoyK^ | flush what? | 18:05 |

| ChrisRut | so there is the 'time' command which will output the time taken to run a process (i.e. time ls), is there a command I can run that will tell me the cpu usage (min,max,average) during a process (for that given process) ? | 18:35 |
| ChrisRut | for benchmarkign | 18:38 |
| ChrisRut | *benchmarking | 18:38 |
| === airells is now known as Airells | ||
| pwnguin | ChrisRut: not as easy as time, but bootchart can probably be hacked to do what you want | 18:59 |
| pwnguin | however, min, max and average by themselves are meaningless | 19:00 |
| pwnguin | the min will be 0 and max will be 100 | 19:00 |
| pwnguin | average will just be user time / wall clock time | 19:05 |
| ChrisRut | right about min & max... but time's man says it can output cpu utilization(http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?time) using 'P' ? | 19:05 |
| pwnguin | P Percentage of the CPU that this job got. This is just | 19:06 |
| pwnguin | user + system times divided by the total running time. It | 19:06 |
| pwnguin | also prints a percentage sign. | 19:06 |
| pwnguin | all this really tells you is whether the bottleneck is CPU or not | 19:06 |
| ChrisRut | gotcha, Thanks pwnguin | 19:07 |
| pwnguin | i think the manpage for time and the binary don't match | 19:09 |
| pwnguin | yea, | 19:10 |
| pwnguin | Users of the bash shell need to use an explicit path in order to run the external time command and not the shell builtin variant.\ | 19:10 |
| chocamo | I am installing server edition 10.04 beta and I can get a dhcp address during the install, but after installation and reboot I cannot get an IP on either my wired or by hooking up a wireless device | 19:17 |

| MTecknology | How can I reset all permissions on a home directory to their default settings? | 19:37 |
| sherr | MTecknology: if you know the perms you want, you can use find/exec/chmod to change all file (f) perms, and dir (d) perms etc. | 19:41 |
| MTecknology | sherr: what should I use for files/dirs with chmod? | 19:42 |
| sherr | Something like : find . -type f -exec chmod 755 {} \; | 19:51 |
| sherr | man find (and test/take care) | 19:51 |
| MTecknology | 755/744 sound good enough? | 19:52 |
| sherr | oops - that example if for "d" | 19:52 |
| sherr | f -> 644 | 19:52 |
| sherr | d -> 755 (maybe) | 19:52 |
| MTecknology | ok, thanks | 19:52 |
| sherr | Don;t know defaults | 19:52 |
| MTecknology | i don't either, 755/644 sounds great | 19:53 |
| MTecknology | alrighty - time to get cleaned up | 19:53 |
| guntbert | MTecknology: if you don't want anybody your files you might want to use rather 750 or 640 .. | 19:55 |
| MTecknology | guntbert: sherr: thanks | 19:57 |
| guntbert | MTecknology: you're good if you figured out my sentence ... :-) | 20:00 |
| MTecknology | guntbert: made perfect sense | 20:17 |

| ruben23 | hi guys modprobe load an application right..? how about to remove..? | 21:39 |
| PcCowboy2005 | Hi | 21:40 |
| guntbert | ruben23: it loads a module, you can unload it with sudo modprobe -r <modulename> | 21:42 |
| ruben23 | FATAL: Module dahdi is in use. | 21:42 |
| ruben23 | guntbert: thats the message | 21:42 |
| PcCowboy2005 | hello. can you answer a most likey stupid/easy question for me? | 21:43 |
| guntbert | ruben23: of course - a module that is currently used cannot be unloaded - try to see what it is with lsmod | grep dahdi | 21:43 |
| guntbert | PcCowboy2005: not if we don't hear it :-) | 21:43 |
| PcCowboy2005 | how would you set up a subdomain? (eg. forum.mysite.me goes to root/forum) | 21:44 |
| guntbert | PcCowboy2005: here I have to pass ... sorry | 21:44 |
| ruben23 | guntbert: its empty | 21:45 |
| guntbert | ruben23: please !pastebin the output of lsmod | 21:46 |
| guntbert | !pastebin | ruben23 | 21:46 |

| PcCowboy2005 | oh...ok lol maybe not so easy. i know on a normal web host i just make a pointer. but i'm thinking for running my own server from home and was wondering how to do it. | 21:46 |

| guntbert | ruben23: strange - and you are certain that the modules name is dahdi ? | 21:49 |
| rohanroy | Hey all, I've setup a VPN on a remote server using PPTP and CHAP Authentication on an Ubuntu 8.04 Server. Here in California, I can connect to my VPN on my mac, and Windows XP machines. I'm trying to setup a virtual machine on my home server running Ubuntu 9.10 via VirtualBox, VM is running: Ubuntu 8.04 JeOS. I would like this virtual machine to have a persistent connection to the PPTP VPN. I've managed to set it up so it successfully joi | 21:51 |
| rohanroy | VPN, I can ping and traceroute properly to the VPN server and other clients on the remote LAN. However, I would like to have it so that ALL TRAFFIC is routed through the VPN tunnel. I'm following the information here: http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/routing.phtml#automatic-setup However, I'm having difficulty getting it to work. Is there anyone here who can provide any help? | 21:51 |
| ruben23 | guntbert: thanks i thnk i have unloaded the dahdi startup script. | 21:53 |
| guntbert | ruben23: you're welcome :-) | 21:53 |
| rohanroy | Anyone know anything about routing all trafic through a VPN tunnell? | 22:00 |
| rohanroy | Everything I've found online describes how to do it with a gui, but I have no gui... | 22:00 |
| darkpixel | Anyone know what's up with nz.archive.ubuntu.com? I'm getting 'no route to host' on about 5 boxes I manage, and timeouts on another 4. They are spread out across multiple hosting providers and small business connections (Comcast, Qwest, Sprint/Embarq, etc...) around Washington and Oregon state. | 22:05 |
