psyferrehey folks, does anyone know of a way to disable the automatic installation of secutiry updates?  I chose that without thinking during my installation and would like to change that...02:33

rohanroyHey 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 joi02:36
rohanroyVPN, 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?02:36

kurosHi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on a PowerEdge 2500 server via PXE. It works fine until near the end, right after it installs extra packages, and it suddenly stops and displays a grey screen with a bunch of text on it.06:53

jronnblomNew servers from DELL cant install Lucid 10.4 Beta since the driver for the RAID cards are still missing09:28
RoyK^jronnblom: is it in upstream kernel_09:51
RoyK^?09:51
jronnblomyes its in the kernel but not in the kernel that is used on the install dvds09:52
jronnblomWhat I mean is that the drivers is in the 2.6.32-16-server kernel which is used after install but the 2.6.32-16-generic that is used for installation don't have the driver09:53
sherrjronnblom: But are you using the server ISO? Surely the Lucid server betaa/ISO uses the server kernel?10:01
jronnblomsherr: yes I am using the server ISO but the installer uses the -generic kernel so no new DELL servers work with Lucid.10:01
RoyK^wtf10:03
RoyK^my servers on 8.04 have -server kernel without any manual hassle10:04
jronnblomOld server won't be affected only new ones using the Perc H200/H700/H800 series of RAID controllers10:05
RoyK^well, sure, but why would the server install use -generic kernel?10:05
RoyK^ah10:05
RoyK^oc10:05
RoyK^ic10:05
sherrI have the server ISO and have had a look :10:06
sherrinstall/vmlinux contains :10:06
RoyK^but doesn't the generic kernel have all drivers?10:06
sherr2.6.32-16-generic10:06
sherrSo - I gues it boots the generic but lets you install the -server after initial setup/update.10:06
RoyK^the drivers aren't really related to -server or -generic10:07
sherrjronnblom: what RAID card? You are installing on RAID?10:07
jronnblomsherr: I have the H200 RAID card in my DELLS10:07
jronnblomand using RAID-110:07
RoyK^those are mostly for tuning10:07
sherrAnd installing OS on RAID-1 mirror?10:07
sherrWhat driver is the H200?10:08
jronnblomyepp, OS is on RAID-110:08
jronnblommpt2sas10:08
sherrOK, I didn;t know the initial server boot used a -generic with a different set of moduls to -server.10:09
jronnblomneither did I until recently :)10:09
RoyK^perhaps someone forgot to add that module to the generic set10:10
sherrjronnblom: maybe log a bug (check it doesn't exist already)10:10
jronnblomhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/53036110:10
RoyK^to install now, copy the driver out to a usb drive or something and load it manually10:10
sherrThanks - good luck!10:10
jronnblomI tried that and the USB key is detected as /dev/sda and when I insmod the driver the disks show up as /dev/sdb... So the installer writes the grub to the USB key.10:11
RoyK^heh - remove the usb key after copying the driver to /tmp ;)10:12
RoyK^that is, insert the usb key after booting up10:12
RoyK^that might help10:12
jronnblomgreat idea :)10:12
jronnblomThat would make it work and on the first boot you boot the installer and go into rescue mode so you can mount the partition and add the mpt2sas driver there (if the boot-image that is generated doesn't contain the driver)10:13
RoyK^I don't think you'll need 'rescue mode'10:18
RoyK^just press alt+left after choosing language/keyboard, and there's a console there10:18
RoyK^alt+f-something10:18
RoyK^or alt+left/right10:18

RoAkkirkland`, heya!16:47
kirkland`RoAk: yo16:47
RoAkkirkland`, hey are you gonna do changes to testdrive in this upcoming days?16:48
=== kirkland` is now known as kirkland
kirklandRoAk: i uploaded about 2 minutes ago :-)16:48
kirklandyou have a merge, RoAk ?16:48
RoAkkirkland, well I already started with a first modularization, im 70% right now16:49
RoAkso I was wondering if you cool freeze the code for a few days so that I can finish16:50
RoAkso that I work on an up to day code16:50
RoAkinstead of having to merge your changes in my modularization :)16:50
kirklandRoAk: heh, sure16:52
kirklandRoAk: i should make any major changes between now and Lucid release16:52
kirklandRoAk: "shouldn't"16:52
kirklandRoAk: ie, it's basically frozen now16:52
RoAkkirkland, awesome then. I'm gonna merge your changes in my changes then and bomb you with question later today since I already have a few :)16:53
kirklandRoAk: cool16:54
kirklandRoAk: i'm not going to be around much; drop me an email with your questions16:54
RoAkkirkland, ok if not we can just discuss them tomorrow. Anyways, Btw... I'll also probably change the way the config is loaded and remove the code that defines the ISO list from there and put it on the main code16:56
kirklandRoAk: okay ... is there a better way of sourcing files in python?16:57
RoAkkirkland, that's what I was trying to investigate last night but I decided to first do an initial modularization and deal with that later. But yes, I was planing on reading the file and return a list with all the variables and values16:58
RoAkinstead of executing the file16:59
kirklandRoAk: hrm, why?17:00
kirklandRoAk: there's actually logic in there17:00
kirklandRoAk: i kind of like exec'ing the file17:00
kirklandunless there's a clearly better way17:00
RoAkkirkland,  yeah me too, but the problem if I exec the file inside a function and not in the global namespace, the variables are not longer to exist17:01
RoAki men, i tried executing the file in the function, and then try using the ISO variable at It wasen't recognized. It only works when it is executed in the global namespace17:02
hggdhyeee testdrive is getting a *lot* of attention :-)17:13
RoAkhggdh, that's my GSoC project :)17:13
hggdhRoAk, cool, good to know... I will wait for your code, then (also was considering factoring all the VM calls)17:14
hggdhDustin just added a way to call a previously created VM (this is the upload he just did); in doing so he preempted me...17:16
RoAkhggdh, VM calls are actually on my todays TODO list17:17
hggdhRoAk, cool. I will just wait, then :-)17:18
gbhambriDo any one have idea abt putting filters in syslog.conf file ?17:19
kirklandRoAk: interesting17:29
kirklandhggdh: \o/17:29
kirklandRoAk: hggdh: there's only one more change i really need to make before lucid releases17:29
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
kirklandRoAk: hggdh: and that's a good way of determining the *next* release's code name17:30
kirklandRoAk: hggdh: such that 10.04 users will be able to testdrive 10.10, 11.04, 11.10, 12.04, etc.17:30
kirklandRoAk: hggdh: I'm going to ask the IS guys to create a file at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/iso.list which is just a find . -name "*.iso" or something17:30
kirklandRoAk: hggdh: but i'm open to other ideas ....17:31
RoAkkirkland, woulnd't it be just easier to change that in the settings?17:31
RoAki mean in the config file?17:32
kirklandRoAk: ah, but 10.04 will be frozen; don't want to SRU that17:33
kirklandRoAk: but yes, that's way i put that in the config file a few weeks ago17:33
kirklandRoAk: it was hardcoded in the script :-o17:33
RoAkkirkland, just leave it like it is then, since everytime the user will have to change that in testdriverc17:34
kirklandRoAk: i was thinking something like this:17:36
kirklandwget -q -O- http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/MD5SUMS | head -n1 | sed "s/^.*\*//" | sed "s/\-.*$//"17:36
kirklandRoAk: could you translate that into python, and have it set it to lucid on exception? :-)17:37
RoAkkirkland, ok will do it today17:37
kirklandRoAk: thanks, don't you think that would be a bit more dynamic?17:37
kirklandRoAk: so that Lucid's testdrive version will work with MM, NN, OO, PP .. ?17:38
kirklandRoAk: without us having to change the code?17:38
RoAkkirkland, indeed17:38
kirklandRoAk: great, thanks; okay, i gotta run17:39
RoAkkirkland, ok enjoy the day :)17:39
kirklandRoAk: cheers ;-)17:39
kirklandRoAk: drop that one merge in before your refactor, if you don't mind ;-)17:39
kirklandRoAk: adios17:39
RoAkkirkland, will do17:40

jronnblomGot Lucid to install to my new DELL by manually loading the driver from an USB stick. After the install I had to add the -server kernel instead of the -generic that was installed by default18:42

VSpikeDoes ubuntu server by default save and restores iptables?19:32
klaasVSpike reboot & look? :)19:33
docta_vdougsk: like a batch job manager19:35
docta_vwhen you have a bunch of different systems and need to coordinate and pause or retry failed jobs19:35

dougskdocta_v: you might get rancid to do something like you want.19:37

docta_vsome of it is fcron, some new stuff is gearman19:45
docta_vit would be nice to have some kind of dashboard where i could see everything but it's probably not feasible with the current state of things19:46

sherrfcron .. not heard of that before.19:47
docta_vit's like a slightly better cron19:47
VSpikeklaas: that's an option, true :) It's my gateway machine so it's disruptive, but yeah, that's plan B.19:47
VSpikesherr/ docta_v : thx, I have iptables doing most of what I want - was just trying to get linux-igd working19:48
VSpikeIt would be nice if imap used http as a transport20:02
VSpikeimap seems like something that would be handled better by a REST api20:03
VSpikeI'm on a high latency link, and all the imap clients seem very cavalier about dropping connections and then re-opening when needed20:04
VSpikeThe whole login/check capability/get folder status can take 10 seconds or so20:04
VSpikeAnd they do it every time I switch folder20:04

jpdsThat's about it.20:13
* jpds → supper.20:14
brontosaurusrexi'd do a cron?20:14
VSpikedocta_v: mm yeah, i do wonder about that. I quite like having control over my server though,20:24
qman__VSpike, pop3 has less overhead, but has the downside that it's a "deliver once and delete" system21:16
qman__even though it's slow, I like imap because I like to get my email on my desktop and my phone21:16
qman__and with it I can get all my messages with either, not just whichever happened to download the message first21:17
qman__but, if you only have one client downloading the messages for any one mailbox, pop3 will get the job done quicker21:18
