| jeffesquivel | Rafael_, ok, try this first: sudo apt-get install smbfs | 00:02 |
| Psi-Jack | Alrighty. I have a couple quick questions regarding UEC.. What is the Walrus storage service, and Storage controller? | 00:03 |
| Rafael_ | jeffesquivel: i have samba install since i ave done that command in the past | 00:05 |
| jeffesquivel | Rafael_, hmm... smbfs is not part of the samba package, are you sure you have it installed? | 00:10 |
| jeffesquivel | Rafael_, in that case... I thnk the problem may be that you are trying to specify the full path inside the share... | 00:11 |
| jeffesquivel | Rafael_, how about sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.106/DRG /home/rgotten/charts.windows -o username=xxx,password=xxx ? | 00:11 |
| jeffesquivel | Rafael_, did it work? | 00:15 |
| Rafael_ | jeffesquivel: thanks i got it it is: sudo mount -t cifs -o username=xxxx,password=xxx //192.168.1.106/Charts /home/rgotten/charts.windows | 00:23 |
| jeffesquivel | Rafael_, great! | 00:24 |
| Rafael_ | by | 00:24 |
| jeffesquivel | Rafael_, just in case... you can see the name of the shares on that server with: smbclient -L //192.168.1.106/ | 00:25 |
| Rafael_ | thanks a lot | 00:26 |
| jeffesquivel | Rafael_, you're welcome | 00:27 |

| dlynes | I've tried adding kernel parameters to /etc/grub.d/10_linux, and then running grub-mkconfig, but it doesn't seem to spit out my new kernel parameters | 03:27 |
| dlynes | Is there a trick I need to know to get it to work? | 03:27 |
| twb | dlynes: you should add parameters in /etc/default/grub-pc or so | 03:27 |
| twb | Unless you're still using GRUB Legacy. | 03:28 |
| dlynes | twb, No such file or directory | 03:28 |
| twb | Also, I've always used update-grub, not grub-mkconfig. I don't have a system that's still using grub in front of me, so I can't check what the difference is. | 03:28 |
| twb | dlynes: /etc/default/grub? | 03:29 |
| David5 | Enter text here...sdfasdfsdf | 03:29 |
| David5 | Hello | 03:29 |
| David5 | ??? | 03:29 |
| dlynes | twb, great....thanks | 03:29 |
| dlynes | twb, I've only used regular ubuntu and debian up until this point, and never had to do any kernel configuration on ubuntu before | 03:30 |
| dlynes | twb, is ubuntu server that much different from regular ubuntu? | 03:30 |
| Xodiac13 | i need help on being able to get my ext hdd to do raid 0 with the internal hdd i mounted the ext hdd and i can get into it and it adds more space i just ran out of space on the internal hdd and it wont transfer more files onto the ext hdd i need help so i can put it on the ext hdd | 03:30 |
| twb | dlynes: the differences are primarily in the list of installed packages, and (on some architectures and releases) the default kernel variant. | 03:31 |
| dlynes | twb, it was /etc/default/grub | 03:31 |
| dlynes | twb, ah | 03:31 |
| Xodiac13 | i have a my share but seems to be full but it still has 300 gigs left and i also formatted it to a ext3 | 03:31 |
| dlynes | twb, so there might be a few kernel tweaks in the server edition that aren't in the regular edition? | 03:31 |
| twb | dlynes: it is more that one will be configured with a server in mind, and the other with desktops in mind. | 03:32 |
| dlynes | twb, ah | 03:32 |
| Xodiac13 | any help please | 03:32 |
| twb | For example, a desktop kernel might be built with a faster interrupt cycle, so that it seems more "responsive" | 03:32 |
| dlynes | twb, And the server editions aren't named the same way as the regular ones? | 03:32 |
| dlynes | i.e. jaunty, karmic, ...? | 03:32 |
| Xodiac13 | me | 03:33 |
| twb | dlynes: an Ubuntu release includes both desktop and server bits. | 03:33 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, can you break up your question into several sentences? I'm having trouble understanding that one long run-on sentence | 03:33 |
| dlynes | twb, ah | 03:33 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes: i have an ubuntu server 8.04 64bit and my internal harddrive is full i formatted a 320 gig external harddrive to ext3 and i mounted it successfully in the command line i can see inside of the external harddrive but when i try to transfer files it said its full even though on the server it shows the added space is there anyway i can fix this with raid 0 or make a directory from the myshare to the external harddrive | 03:35 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, what does raid anything have to do with your problem? | 03:36 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, Can you pastebin the output of df, after you've formatted and mounted the external hard drive? | 03:36 |
| twb | Xodiac13: RAID will not fix your problem. | 03:36 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes: i figured it might solve the problem because it combines the space on the server including the external | 03:36 |
| Xodiac13 | twb o okay how can i fix it | 03:36 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, no, it does not | 03:36 |
| twb | Xodiac13: is "myshare" a product name? | 03:36 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, you're thinking of LVM, not raid | 03:37 |
| Xodiac13 | twb its the folder that the windows computers can see to add files | 03:37 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes how can i use LVM | 03:37 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, i'm far from being an expert on lvm (I have no idea how to set it up), but you set up an LVM, and add volumes to it | 03:37 |
| twb | Xodiac13: please pastebin the contents of /proc/partitions and /proc/mounts, and the output of "df -m". | 03:37 |
| Xodiac13 | twb okay | 03:38 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, however, I think the lvm needs to be created first, and the drives need to be in the lvm before you start using them | 03:38 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, but don't quote me on that | 03:38 |
| Xodiac13 | dylnes k | 03:38 |
| Xodiac13 | twb im somewhat very familiar with ubuntu but what you just have me do in the output of df-m | 03:38 |
| Xodiac13 | i mean df -m | 03:39 |
| twb | You can use "man df" to find out about the df program. | 03:39 |
| Xodiac13 | twb sigh okay | 03:39 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, it sounds like you'd probably gain a lot by hanging out in #ubuntu and #ubuntu-beginners a while, too | 03:40 |
| dlynes | Interesting | 03:40 |
| Xodiac13 | sorry my bad yeah thanks dylen all im trying to do is ask for help not critism i ask a simple question and you end up lectuaring me | 03:41 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, i wasn't lecturing anyone...perhaps you misinterpreted my intent | 03:42 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes obviously i did i would like help please and i am willing to learn | 03:42 |
| ScottK | Xodiac13: I just read the backscroll and I don't think he was lecturing you. | 03:43 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, I've asked for the output of 'df', and twb's asked for the output of 'df -m' and 'cat /proc/partitions' and 'cat /proc/mounts', and we haven't seen it yet | 03:43 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, throw the output of those on http://pastebin.ca/ or something similar | 03:43 |
| Xodiac13 | ScottK well if i cant even get an answer and all i here is dumb comments | 03:43 |
| ScottK | Xodiac13: They've asked you for information to help solve your problem. | 03:44 |
| ScottK | If the questions don't make sense to you, ask more questions instead of reacting. | 03:44 |
| Xodiac13 | http://pastebin.com/259ng1Vd | 03:45 |
| Xodiac13 | ScottK sorry im a little hotheaded | 03:45 |
| ScottK | Xodiac13: Happens to all of us now and then. | 03:45 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, and what is sda and sdc? | 03:45 |
| Xodiac13 | ScottK lol | 03:45 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes sda is the internal harddrive and sdc is the external harddrive | 03:46 |
| Xodiac13 | http://pastebin.com/0Prt4eFb | 03:46 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, ok, and where is your normal directory for your windows clients? | 03:47 |
| Xodiac13 | http://pastebin.com/MCgkn64m | 03:47 |
| Xodiac13 | dylnes myshare is on the ubuntu server for all the files so the windows computers can see it | 03:48 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, which is where? | 03:48 |
| Xodiac13 | sorry | 03:48 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, /opt/myshare? | 03:48 |
| Xodiac13 | i made a myshare on the ubuntu server using samba so any computer can see it on the network | 03:48 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, again....where is myshare located within the directory structure on your ubuntu server? | 03:49 |
| Xodiac13 | yes | 03:49 |
| Xodiac13 | http://pastebin.com/grq7rfWc | 03:49 |
| Xodiac13 | its located in the link it shows where its at | 03:50 |
| dlynes | oh...it's off your root directory | 03:50 |
| Xodiac13 | dylnes yes | 03:50 |
| dlynes | pastebin the output of 'ls -l / | grep myshare' and 'ls -l /mnt/extdisk' | 03:51 |
| Xodiac13 | k | 03:51 |
| Xodiac13 | http://pastebin.com/fPj05q6b | 03:52 |
| Xodiac13 | http://pastebin.com/RjVi1aJz | 03:52 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, sorry.... 'ls -al /mnt/extdisk', I meant | 03:53 |
| Xodiac13 | http://pastebin.com/1cyxtz0X | 03:53 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, ok...try the following: 'mv /myshare/* /mnt/extdisk', and then pastebin the output (if it doesn't work), including your shell prompt | 03:55 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes k | 03:55 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes so its copying all the files to the extdisk? | 03:57 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, i'm guessing that means it's working? | 03:57 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes yes | 03:57 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes sorry for me being hotheaded im in the Marine Corps and thats just the way we are | 03:58 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes at least me lol | 03:58 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes im a grunt | 03:58 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, ok...now you need to update your samba config so that the exported folder is pointing at /mnt/extdisk instead of /myshare | 03:58 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes i need help on that im kind of a newb with ubuntu server | 03:59 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, and I don't have time to help you with that tonight...it's actually bed time for me | 03:59 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes nooooo | 03:59 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes and for what you were going to help me on would it point it to the ext drive and the internal | 03:59 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, what it's doing right now is moving all the files out of the /myshare directory and dropping them into the /mnt/extdisk directory | 04:00 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, after it's finished, you'll see a whole bunch of free disk space on / | 04:00 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, if you do a 'df -m' afterwards | 04:00 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes nice and now will i be able to get the files from the ext drive | 04:01 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, anyways...suffice it to say, the information is in /etc/samba/smb.conf usually | 04:01 |
| Xodiac13 | okay | 04:01 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, so after you make any changes to that file, you'll need to do an /etc/init.d/samba restart | 04:01 |
| Xodiac13 | now the internal harddrive will be free so i can add files to that now | 04:01 |
| dlynes | correct | 04:01 |
| Xodiac13 | nice | 04:01 |
| dlynes | but not that get exported to the network | 04:02 |
| dlynes | they'll be local files | 04:02 |
| dlynes | /mnt/extdisk will be the network files | 04:02 |
| dlynes | but like i said...you need to update smb.conf and restart samba before anyone sees those changes | 04:02 |
| Xodiac13 | so i will see the extdisk when i go to the myshare obviously but not the internal so i can add more files | 04:02 |
| Xodiac13 | okay | 04:02 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: pong | 04:03 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, anyways..pastebin the contents of your /etc/samba/smb.conf file and maybe someone will be able to help you | 04:03 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes k thanks man | 04:03 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, i would suggest trying it on #ubuntu or #ubuntu-beginners though, instead...there's a lot more people in boht of those channels | 04:03 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, your questions will get answered faster there | 04:03 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes okay thank you i really do appreciate it | 04:04 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, this channel's mainly for people that have ubuntu server edition-specific questions | 04:04 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes nice | 04:04 |
| dlynes | Xodiac13, and the help you need, isn't server specific..all ubuntu distributions have those issues | 04:04 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes o okay thank you | 04:05 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes so in the samba config file what am i looking for to change so that i can use both the internal and external | 04:07 |
| cef | anyone dealt much with serial consoles with libvirt/kvm? I can't seem to get any working, and I suspect it's a host issue (libvirt domain defines) | 04:07 |
| Xodiac13 | dlynes im not looking at it right now its transfering files so yeah | 04:07 |
| twb | cef: what the actual error? | 04:08 |
| cef | twb: every time i edit the domain info and put in a <serial or <console entry, it drops the <source element, and rewrites the <target element - plus the kvm command line has '-serial none' in it, so it's like it's totally ignoring the config options | 04:12 |
| cef | twb: fwiw: the machine the domains are running on is headless, and it isn't connected to a network with a gui box on it that I can use as a VNC console | 04:15 |
| cef | twb: the getty is running fine in the guest, but I can't figure out how to get the host to expose it somehow. preferably through 'virsh console domainname' would be best | 04:16 |
| twb | cef: everything you've said makes sense to me, and I don't know more. | 04:23 |
| twb | cef: you could try the libvirt channel (#virt?) | 04:24 |
| cef | twb: yeah that's next.. I tried #ubuntu-virt earlier. no response (2 hrs ago I think) | 04:24 |
| cef | actually only 1 hr ago | 04:25 |
| cef | oh fun, #virt is locked it seems | 04:25 |
| cef | oh fun, #libvirt is locked it seems | 04:25 |
| twb | Maybe OFTC | 04:26 |
| cef | no.. just #virt.. only 5 people in #libvirt | 04:26 |
| cef | yeah just looking thru the wiki/libvirt site now (been using it all day) | 04:26 |
| twb | cef: remember to STAY IN THE CHANNEL. | 04:26 |
| cef | yup irc.oftc | 04:27 |
| twb | cef: if you ask in #ubuntu-virt and then leave an hour later, you might miss a response from an hour-and-a-half later when someone wakes up | 04:27 |
| cef | twb: oh I'm still in both #ubuntu-virt and here.. | 04:27 |
| cef | I idle in there 24/7 | 04:27 |
| twb | OK, /whois lied to me. | 04:27 |
| cef | +c on the channel afaik | 04:27 |
| twb | cef: incidentally, have you played with lxc at all? | 04:35 |
| cef | twb: not really.. I've got it installed I think | 04:39 |
| cef | this console issue is my main stumbling block to getting this machine live.. and yeah.. it's creating a hassle for me at work.. *sigh* | 04:40 |
| cef | don't really have the time to play with lxc before it goes live.. mebbe after | 04:40 |
| twb | lxc is for jails, whereas kvm is for full emulation | 04:41 |
| twb | They're orthogonal | 04:41 |
| codygman | i'm trying to setup postfix on my server, and thought i did everything right, but it's not sending mail. | 07:47 |
| === swift_ is now known as swift | ||
| codygman | it seems like after executing 'mail -s subject myemail' the process keeps running | 07:48 |
| twb | When testing, use SMTP or sendmail(8) directly. | 07:48 |
| codygman | oh... alright i'll try using sendmail | 07:49 |
| killown | ubuntu-server is better than centos? | 07:49 |
| twb | Note that sendmail-the-api is not the same as sendmail-the-package | 07:49 |
| Callum__ | killown: not necessarily better, both can do different things in different ways | 07:50 |
| twb | killown: mu. | 07:50 |
| killown | i need some linux distro for server | 07:50 |
| Callum__ | I prefer the RPM package manager but I like the fact that Ubuntu Server is updated much more frequently and uses later versions of software | 07:50 |
| twb | I'm astonished that anyone who has studied the internals of rpm/yum and dpkg/apt can prefer the former. | 07:53 |
| Callum__ | twb: I dunno, I just prefer it... I don't have any technical reasons as to why, apart from maybe a secure RPM repository is a LOT easier to set up than a SecureApt repository (STILL haven't figured it out yet) | 07:54 |
| twb | Callum__: erm, you just build a normal repo, but you sign it with your key. | 07:55 |
| twb | If you're using a PPA or so, I think that part is taken care of automatically anyway | 07:55 |
| * jeffesquivel agrees with twb | 07:55 | |
| twb | Callum__: see e.g. http://wiki.debian.org/HowToSetupADebianRepository | 07:55 |
| Callum__ | twb: yeah, but it still says in apt-get that its not secure >_> | 07:56 |
| === swift_ is now known as swift | ||
| twb | Callum__: either you did it wrong, or you didn't install your key into the apt client. | 07:56 |
| Callum__ | and I have the key installed on every machine I try to use the repo with... | 07:56 |
| Callum__ | hell, the repo doesn't even appear as secure on the machine that signs the packages | 07:57 |
| === swift_ is now known as swift | ||
| codygman | can you send email on a server without having a domain name yet? | 08:02 |
| twb | That would depend on where you're sending it to. | 08:11 |
| twb | If you're talking about a smarthost, it's pretty common for its correspondents to reject your mail if your EHLO host doesn't resolve. | 08:12 |
| twb | Obviously satellites are a pushover, because it's only talking to your local mail gateway server. | 08:12 |
| codygman | twb.. i'm just trying to setup mailing for my django site :P | 08:14 |
| codygman | i'm still in development, so I don't want to switch the dns on my domain name yet | 08:14 |
| sherr | codygman: If you are just wanting to send email, SSMTP (simple smtp) might be easier for a novice. | 08:16 |
| codygman | alright, i am pretty new to having my own server :D | 08:17 |
| jeffesquivel | codygman, how about use an existing account on an existing mail server to send the messages? | 08:19 |
| codygman | jeffesquivel.. you mean like using gmail? | 08:19 |
| twb | I have had bad experiences with ssmtp | 08:19 |
| jeffesquivel | codygman, exactly | 08:19 |
| twb | For roaming laptops, I can recommend msmtp. | 08:20 |
| twb | I'd use postfix for a server, though. | 08:20 |
| codygman | twb.. i'm trying to, I think i'm configuring it wrong | 08:21 |
| jeffesquivel | codygman, but it can be an account on any mail server you have an account already set up, not necessarily gmail | 08:21 |
| codygman | since i don't have a domain, i'm not sure what to put | 08:21 |
| codygman | or maybe i forgot to open port 25 | 08:21 |
| twb | You only need to open port 25 to RECEIVE mail | 08:22 |

| codygman | hostname -f keeps telling me this: | 09:08 |
| codygman | hostname: Unknown host | 09:08 |
| codygman | the contents of my hostname file is: | 09:09 |
| codygman | 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain runningshoesreview.org | 09:09 |
| twb | codygman: that's wrong. | 09:09 |
| twb | You should have "127.0.0.1 localhost" and "127.0.1.1 www www.example.net" | 09:10 |
| twb | You can have "localhost.localdomain" after "localhost", it shouldn't matter much with/without it. But the hostname and FQDN should be the first two entries. | 09:10 |
| twb | (The first two entries in whichever line they're on, that is.) | 09:11 |
| codygman | alright here are all three lines: | 09:11 |
| codygman | codygman | 09:11 |
| codygman | 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain | 09:11 |
| codygman | 127.0.1.1 www www.runningshoesreview.org | 09:11 |
| twb | Right. | 09:11 |
| codygman | alright good :) | 09:11 |
| twb | Now if "hostname" returns "www", then "hostname -f" should return "www.runningshoesreview.org" | 09:12 |
| codygman | is there a book you'd recommend for this type of stuff btw? | 09:12 |
| twb | codygman: best I can do is /join #debian-bots, /msg dpkg grounding | 09:13 |
| codygman | alright cool | 09:15 |
| codygman | btw, my mailing seems to be working after that | 09:15 |
| twb | It's just stuff you pick up over time | 09:15 |
| RoAkSoAx | ttx, howdy!! i was wndering what would happen if one of the controllers of the cloud, i.e. cloud controller, fails | 09:44 |
| RoAkSoAx | would the cloud stop working>? | 09:44 |
| ttx | RoAkSoAx: depends on which controller you lose | 09:45 |
| RoAkSoAx | ttx, lets say the cloud controller | 09:45 |
| RoAkSoAx | would everything fail? | 09:45 |
| ttx | RoAkSoAx: VMs continue running | 09:45 |
| ttx | RoAkSoAx: you just can't send new commands | 09:46 |
| ttx | (euca-* commands calling the web services on the CLC) | 09:46 |
| RoAkSoAx | ttx, and is there a way to have many controllers for failover ? | 09:46 |
| twb | Not even the "abort!" command? ;-) | 09:47 |
| ttx | RoAkSoAx: not yet. | 09:47 |
| RoAkSoAx | ttx, so i guess eucalyptus guys are working on it already?> | 09:48 |
| RoAkSoAx | ttx, because i was thinking that it could actually done by using the cluster stack, but creating resource agents to manage the starting/stopping of the resources, such as a cloud controller | 09:54 |
| RoAkSoAx | though they would have to be clones | 09:54 |

| Psi-Jack | Hmmm. | 10:29 |
| case_ | hi there | 10:33 |
| Psi-Jack | Morning. | 10:33 |
| case_ | i'm trying to setup a cloud using the 10.04 beta CD, is it the right place to ask my questions? | 10:33 |
| Psi-Jack | Sure. If anyone were actually around to help. Been asking for questions about UEC for days, and nobody seems to be interested or knowledgable to help. | 10:34 |
| case_ | :) | 10:35 |
| Psi-Jack | Heck. | 10:35 |
| Psi-Jack | I'm just trying to figure out what's required just to make UEC work proper.. | 10:35 |
| Psi-Jack | As far as, does it use image files for all the kvm's installed by the store, or what. | 10:36 |
| Psi-Jack | For a vm box, I usually keep / down to 10-15gb tops. | 10:36 |
| RoyK | Psi-Jack: there was someone in here a couple of days ago that seemd quite knowledgable about UEC... | 10:36 |
| Psi-Jack | Heh | 10:36 |
| Psi-Jack | Yeah, it's rare enough to see little signs of help regarding it. ;) | 10:37 |
| case_ | anyway, i've installed a cloud controler, then i've installed another PC as a node, which seems to have detected the cloud controler, so far so good... but once the install is finished, there is still no node listed on the controler... and no new node detected on the network... | 10:37 |
| RoyK | afaik I think those questions are rather well documented | 10:37 |
| Psi-Jack | Well I recently installed UEC from 10.4 (yes, I know, beta, but hey), but it failed to install any Store image at all, and no real usable reason as to why. | 10:38 |
| Psi-Jack | So I'm installing 9.10 in the same manner, seeing if it makes any difference. | 10:39 |
| case_ | then, i've installed eucalyptus-nc on my own workstation, it was detected on the cloud controler using sudo euca_conf --no-rsync --discover-nodes , but once added still no node listed by euca_conf --list-nodes | 10:39 |
| case_ | Psi-Jack, i managed to install store image but only with the admin login | 10:39 |
| case_ | Psi-Jack, any other login, even with administrative rights will fail | 10:39 |
| Psi-Jack | I used admin. ;) | 10:39 |
| Psi-Jack | It just failed, no matter what I did. | 10:40 |
| Psi-Jack | Probably because of my 15 gb /, but I have a LVM VG available for all where I wanted the images to even be. | 10:40 |
| Psi-Jack | Empty 650 GB VG without LVs. | 10:40 |
| case_ | should be enough... | 10:42 |
| case_ | Psi-Jack, anyway, have you managed to setup nodes? | 10:42 |
| Psi-Jack | Nope | 10:42 |
| case_ | hmmm | 10:42 |
| case_ | i've just noticed i've gazillons of updates pending... may help to install them... | 10:45 |
| Psi-Jack | Didn't help me, but hey! | 10:45 |
| Psi-Jack | I'm installing 9.10 now. :p | 10:45 |
| case_ | i'm sure it's a conspiracy to sell amazone ec2 ;p | 10:48 |
| Psi-Jack | That's fine. I could give a rats arse about Amazon hosting anything. | 10:49 |
| ttx | RoAkSoAx: yes, they are working on it. | 11:22 |
| * ttx grabs some lunch | 11:22 | |
| thenetduck | hey when I put in sudo pdnsd-ctl empty-cache it says the command isn't found | 11:34 |
| thenetduck | how can I fix that? | 11:35 |
| killown | ubuntu is good for server? | 11:37 |
| \sh | killown, no use windows 7 for server...ubuntu is only good for the desktop | 11:37 |
| killown | lol funny | 11:38 |
| RoyK | killown: we have 40+ linux servers at work and we're in the process of moving them all to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS | 11:40 |
| RoyK | perhaps 10.04 LTS when that comes around, don't know yet | 11:40 |
| killown | and 910? | 11:41 |
| killown | and 9.10? | 11:41 |
| RoyK | that's not an LTS | 11:41 |
| RoyK | long term support release | 11:41 |
| killown | ok | 11:41 |
| RoyK | we only use LTS on servers | 11:41 |
| killown | do you try centos? | 11:41 |
| RoyK | yeah, and I don't like it, but I guess that's mostly taste | 11:41 |
| RoyK | I like the managability in ubuntu | 11:42 |
| RoyK | and the package availability | 11:42 |
| RoyK | there are some 23k packages available, last I checked | 11:42 |
| killown | stable packages? | 11:42 |
| RoyK | lemme check | 11:43 |
| RoyK | of course there will be bugs around, also in these "stable" packages. you get what you're paying for, and it's free... | 11:44 |
| RoyK | $ apt-cache search "" | wc -l | 11:44 |
| RoyK | 25317 | 11:44 |
| RoyK | that includes metapackages, kernels and so on, but it's still quite a lot | 11:45 |
| killown | hehehehe nice | 11:47 |
| RoyK | the number for 10.04 (beta) seems to be 30628 | 11:48 |
| RoyK | it saves me LOTS of time to be able to just apt-get install most things and not compile it from scratch | 11:49 |
| killown | i just need a stable distro for compile from source | 11:49 |
| killown | hehe | 11:49 |
| killown | there is many advanced things that you need enable in ./configure | 11:49 |
| case_ | compile what from source? | 11:50 |
| killown | ldap samba squid | 11:50 |
| RoyK | some months back, before we decided to move to Ubuntu, one of the scientists came down and wanted netcdf packages and scipy and lots of other stuff that were a little tricky to get setup correctly. it'd take days to do that on one box. we switched to ubuntu and everything was ready | 11:50 |
| RoyK | killown: check ubuntu packages first - most of the stuff is in there | 11:50 |
| RoyK | ldap support in samba, for instance | 11:51 |
| killown | ok | 11:51 |
| RoyK | or AD support | 11:51 |
| killown | noway | 11:51 |
| killown | is it true? | 11:51 |
| RoyK | it's in there - we're using it | 11:51 |
| case_ | killown, compiling everything from source is really not the philosophy of ubuntu... | 11:51 |
| killown | ad suporte for instance | 11:51 |
| RoyK | yes | 11:51 |
| Psi-Jack | Blah! | 11:51 |
| Psi-Jack | UEC stuff is painfully annoying me at the moment. | 11:51 |
| Psi-Jack | I got it to actually start an instance... It boots, it immediately shuts down afterwards. | 11:52 |
| case_ | Psi-Jack, any trick to add a node ? | 11:53 |
| Psi-Jack | Eh? | 11:53 |
| Psi-Jack | I'm just following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/PackageInstall | 11:54 |
| case_ | hmmm okay thanks | 11:54 |
| case_ | so you're having better results with 9.10 than with 10.04beta , right? even if it doesn't work yet... | 11:55 |
| RoyK | killown: just download and install - try it yourself - I'd recommend 8.04 LTS for servers until 10.04 has been released _and_ has proven stable | 12:01 |
| case_ | Psi-Jack, could you please tell me if euca_conf --list-nodes returns something for you on your cloud controler? | 12:02 |
| Psi-Jack | Not really. I'm wiping UEC off this system. Not at all happy with how annoying this whole method is. | 12:02 |
| case_ | hmmm okay thanks | 12:04 |
| skuld_kid | Question about logs and rotation. Last night I discovered my hard drive was full. Had a syslog of over 50G, syslog.1 over 25G, and a daemon log of over 80G. How do I configure my logrotate.conf to rotate these files...I don't see anything defined for these critical logs. | 12:20 |
| sherr | skuld_kid: have you looked at the man page for logrotate? | 12:28 |
| RoyK | it should rotate weekly by default | 12:28 |
| RoyK | keeping 4 weeks iirc | 12:28 |
| RoyK | perhaps you should check if there's a daemon filling the logs? | 12:28 |
| RoyK | tail -f daemon.log might be a start | 12:28 |
| skuld_kid | yes. | 12:29 |
| RoyK | sherr: it probably isn't rtfm that's the problem if a default ubuntu installation runs out of log space | 12:30 |
| RoyK | there isn't that much to log, really, unless you're running a very heavily used mail server with a spambot using it or something | 12:31 |
| RoyK | 50 gigs of logs is a LOT | 12:31 |
| skuld_kid | found the problem. mysqld: InnoDB error: trying to access tablespace <blah> page no. 0, but the tablespace does not exsist or is just being dropped. Anybody know what that means, or how to fix it? I didn't think I had any InnoDBs | 12:31 |
| skuld_kid | yeah I know | 12:31 |
| alvin | Should /tmp erased at boot, or at shutdown? (in Karmic) | 12:32 |
| _ruben | syslogs are rotated by its own script, not by logrotate | 12:32 |
| RoyK | try restarting mysql | 12:32 |
| skuld_kid | I tried that | 12:32 |
| alvin | there's a 'be' short in that sentence | 12:32 |
| RoyK | hm... google for it :) | 12:32 |
| alvin | Got it. /tmp *should* be emptied at boot when TMPTIME=0 in /etc/default/rcS | 12:38 |
| alvin | Now to find out, why this isn't working... | 12:38 |

| _ruben | zim: that works on -server as well by default | 14:37 |
| zim | _ruben: ok not on my version isp stock install root user what conf files do you edit to make it work | 14:38 |
| _ruben | complain to your isp for providing a root shell first | 14:39 |
| zim | sh --> is linked to dash before you ask | 14:39 |
| _ruben | but yes, root shells tend to be limited that way (never bothered to look into why) | 14:39 |
| _ruben | perhaps root doesnt use the global bashrc/profile stuff | 14:39 |

| cbeebie | that0n3guy: top is great! Maybe you have nothing that's using more then 1% of the memory? | 16:42 |
| that0n3guy | cbeebie: yeah, so why is 100mg of free ram gone? I had to add more ram to my vps just for it to ever run... | 16:44 |
| that0n3guy | what kinda of things cause that? | 16:44 |
| that0n3guy | i've got 194mb cached... that seems high to me but maybe not | 16:45 |
| cbeebie | that0n3guy: Linux is pretty aggressive about using memory that would otherwise be free for caching and buffering | 16:46 |
| sherr | Oxymoron: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_so.html#loadmodule | 16:46 |
| sherr | maybe : relative path and module name? See docs | 16:46 |
| that0n3guy | I gotcha so the 100mb that was all of a sudden used might be it just is caching more b/c I added more to the syste | 16:48 |

| ruben23 | hi,what happened is during boot up it force scanned the vol001 then found inconsistency then it says- to do manually repir fsck. | 17:19 |
| mathiaz | zul: do you have daily-build of puppet? | 17:31 |
| zul | mathiaz: yeah the latest is being pushed out now | 17:32 |
| mathiaz | zul: where? | 17:32 |
| zul | mathiaz: the script is being run on my machine and it will uploaded to a ppa but I can force it if you want | 17:33 |
| RoyK | wouldn't it be nice if you came home and your girlfriend pulled this at you? http://pharmama.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/fakesstest.jpg | 17:33 |
| mathiaz | zul: and where is the puppet package published? | 17:33 |
| mathiaz | zul: in which PPA? | 17:33 |
| zul | someone should read my blog more often ;) | 17:33 |
| zul | check on ~ubuntu-server-edgers | 17:34 |
| odin2 | bogeyd6, thank you very much for your help - it still doesn't work yet, but at least I have hope and an idea where to go from here and that is much more than when I came in. thx again! | 17:37 |
| zul | mathiaz: i just pushed the latest puppet git to the ppa | 17:37 |
| gamla_kossan | hi guys, thought I should ask in here: does the ubuntu 9.10 live cd support ntfs? | 17:42 |
| ScottK | Ubuntu Server doesn't have a live CD | 17:45 |
| ruben23 | hi | 17:45 |
| gamla_kossan | ScottK: true, but getting an intelligent answer in #ubuntu is.. well, a bit unprobable :/ | 17:46 |
| ScottK | gamla_kossan: That doesn't make it on topic for this channel. | 17:47 |
| gamla_kossan | ScottK: well, if you're gonna hardline about it, nevermind. have a nice life etc. | 17:47 |
| jcastro | ScottK: fascist! | 17:49 |
| jcastro | :) | 17:49 |
| ScottK | Yeah, the problem is if you answer one, then we get overrun with others. | 17:49 |
| ScottK | I have kids. I know exactly how this works, "But Daaaaaaad, last time you ...." | 17:50 |
| odin2 | :) | 17:50 |
| mathiaz | zul: smoser: is /dev/xconsole used on EC2? | 18:11 |
| zul | mathiaz: I dont think so | 18:11 |
| smoser | mathiaz, yeah, i think thats gone now | 18:13 |
| smoser | from the guest kernel | 18:13 |
| smoser | mathiaz, at least: | 18:15 |
| smoser | $ ls /dev/xconsole | 18:15 |
| smoser | ls: cannot access /dev/xconsole: No such file or directory | 18:15 |
| smoser | thats in a karmic guest | 18:15 |

| RobH | Is this the proper channel to ask for assistance with setting up a cloud controller & node controller to run virtual instances? | 18:42 |
| stickystyle | I wanted to test out the JeOS install in 10.04, when I press F4 to bring up the install modes menu and select "Minimal install virtual machine" and press enter, am I supposed to get some kind of feedback that it accepted my selection? | 18:45 |
| jeffesquivel | hi, has anyone here used ubuntu-server to create a webdav share? | 18:47 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, ping | 18:49 |
| alvin | RobH: More or less. You have ubuntu-virt for that. | 19:04 |
| RobH | ahh, will ask there, thank you | 19:04 |
| Davexor | Greetings, I have a (somewhat) simple question | 19:08 |
| Davexor | I am attempting to set up a home server with Web and Media etc. My issue is that i am not all that Command-line fu. Would it be a better idea to run it off of a desktop version of ubuntu? Or to install a desktop core on the server edition? | 19:09 |
| ScottK | It doesn't make a significant difference. | 19:10 |
| Davexor | Ok, then on to my second question, How would i install a GUI on my server install? | 19:11 |
| ScottK | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. Anything that happens after that you need to ask in #ubuntu. | 19:12 |
| Davexor | Rock on. thank you | 19:12 |
| ruben23 | hi guys i have an existing tftp server on my linux server, with an ubuntu-image, how do i add up windows image on it like win 7 so i can install windows 7 on network..and make it worked.. | 19:43 |

| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: howdy ;-) | 21:29 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, how's it going? | 21:29 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: hacking on libvirt ;-) | 21:29 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, wish I had the knowledge to do that too :) | 21:30 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: heh, just takes time and a willingness to learn | 21:30 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, i do meet the requirements lol though right now im cvrazy with last too weeks of school so I'll ping you about that later. Anyways... I wanted to ask you if you've come to a decision regarding how to obtain ubuntu+1 in testdrive? | 21:32 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: i had a few ideas, one i liked better than others | 21:35 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: would you do this ... | 21:36 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: would you open a bug in Launchpad about this | 21:36 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: mark it High/Triaged | 21:36 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: assign it to me | 21:36 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: and let's discuss it there | 21:36 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: i can't chat too much right now, but i'll email it to that bug | 21:36 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: also, others might chime in with better ideas | 21:37 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, will do then | 21:37 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: thanks dude | 21:37 |
| RoAkSoAx | np ;) | 21:37 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: sorry about the busy schedule | 21:37 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: things should slow down soon ;-) | 21:37 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, its ok... i'm busy with school anyways for this next two weeks | 21:38 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, btw I've created two blueprints for the modularization and the Front-end for the gsoc and I guess you'll have to add mi to the testdrive group to be able to make uploads to testdrive-gtk trunk | 21:39 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: right, sounds good | 21:39 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: remind me of your LP id | 21:40 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, ~andreserl | 21:40 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: https://edge.launchpad.net/~testdrive-gtk | 21:42 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: you're in ;-) | 21:42 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, i know it is a pain to have different nick, lp id, and stuff :P | 21:42 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, awesome thanks :) | 21:42 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: heh, hard to remember at first | 21:42 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: testdrive-gtk now owns https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~testdrive-gtk/testdrive-gtk/trunk | 21:43 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: the code in there right now was mostly written by rickspencer as a quick rough draft | 21:43 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: you're welcome to start from that, or scratch | 21:44 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, i've already started from scratch, though if i knew how to handle the ubuntu+1 issue now it would be something i wouldn't hvew to worry about in the future because Im using the same code to create the list of iso's for the pygtk itnerface | 21:44 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: cool, i'll get that for you tonight, then, if it's blocking you ;-) | 21:45 |
| Xpistos|work | is there a way to get my server to mail me the logs that come up in /var/mail/USER | 21:45 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, i know that the code for the ISO list creation should be independent from the testdrive common code, so if I new how are we gonna handle the ubuntu+1 issue now, that would allow me to actually separate the code now and make it independent. | 21:46 |
| kirkland | jdstrand: http://paste.ubuntu.com/407717/ | 21:50 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, btw... what I was thinking is keep the config for ubuntu+1 in the config file but it can be loaded differently from the other part of the config | 21:52 |
| RoAkSoAx | for example [testdrive-globals] | 21:52 |
| RoAkSoAx | and [testdrive-iso-list] | 21:52 |
| RoAkSoAx | and I can work with that in the meanwhile | 21:52 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: okay, so here's the basic implementation | 21:56 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: we should cache the "development" release somewhere, like /var/cache/testdrive/ubuntu-development | 21:57 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: basically, that wget from cdimage would write the code name into there | 21:57 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: and cache it for some amount of time (a day, at least) | 21:57 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: and only do the wget to update that cache when it's expired | 21:58 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: ideally, there should be some other way to get this information | 21:58 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: perhaps ask mvo in ubuntu-devel at some point | 21:58 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: in the config file, we would get the current dev code name from that cache file | 21:59 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, ok sounds like a plan then | 22:01 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: i need to get this in tonight | 22:01 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: get that bug filed and assigned to me ;-) | 22:01 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, ok will do :) | 22:02 |
| Nattgew | I have a PHP server that's been working fine for a long time. It was acting weird today so I restarted it, but when I try to access the pages, they download and don't display. | 22:08 |
| Nattgew | I've poked around a bit but I'm not sure what's going on. | 22:08 |
| sherr | Nattgew: Could there have been a server s/w update that's been activated by the reboot? | 22:09 |
| sherr | Maybe check what's been installed recently - /var/log/apt /var/log/aptitude* etc. | 22:10 |
| sherr | Plus the apache logs of course. | 22:10 |
| Nattgew | I checked those logs, mysql updated recently but it's been a long time since anything else happened | 22:11 |
| Nattgew | I'm not sure what I'm looking for, the packages seem to be installed and the php module is loading | 22:14 |

| sherr | Apache log - access and error for the page? | 22:19 |
| sherr | What does "acting weird" mean? Do you think it is related? Was it working just before reboot? | 22:20 |
| Nattgew | I had a shell script I was running, and it had frozen and would not run again. It was also doing the same thing with the webpages. | 22:22 |
| Nattgew | When I try to go to the page, it spits out 5 of these | 22:23 |

| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, btw I'm also gonna be trying to create a resource agent to setup HighAvailability for some of the Cloud Controllers, so I'll be poking you about the kvm related stuff | 22:23 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: cool | 22:25 |
| Nattgew | hmm, if I go to the pages directly, it works now, but my bookmarks that worked before pointing to http://server/ try to download | 22:27 |

| Nattgew | Xodiac13 do you mean that it's not booting? | 22:34 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, btw I reported the bug in testdrive but I cannot change the status nor importance of it, so I just set it to confirmed and assigned it to you | 22:34 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: url? | 22:35 |

| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: got it, thanks | 22:36 |
| RoAkSoAx | np ;) | 22:37 |
| Nattgew | Xodiac13 can you boot a CD to repair it? | 22:37 |
| Xodiac13 | Nattgew can i use the ubuntu server 8.04 even though i upgraded to ubuntu server 9.10 | 22:38 |
| Nattgew | that should be fine | 22:38 |
| Xodiac13 | when i load the cd what am i looking for | 22:38 |
| airells | amanda , bacula or what to backup ? | 22:38 |
| Xodiac13 | i dont want to mess anything up | 22:39 |
| Nattgew | what options does the server CD give you? | 22:39 |
| qman__ | you probably want to "repair a broken system", drop to a root shell, and manually fix the problem | 22:40 |
| Xodiac13 | crap i lost my server cd do you think if i were to get the ubuntu server 9.10 it will revover it still | 22:41 |
| qman__ | likely a grub issue | 22:41 |
| qman__ | you can do it with any live CD, doesn't even really need to be ubuntu | 22:41 |
| Xodiac13 | qman__ so i can use my ubuntu desktop 9.10 to try and fix it | 22:42 |
| Xodiac13 | what am i looking for | 22:42 |
| qman__ | you will want to mount your local filesystem, make sure /etc/fstab is right | 22:42 |
| Xodiac13 | qman__ okay | 22:43 |
| qman__ | then run grub, make sure the system.map is right, and reinstall it to the mbr | 22:43 |
| Xodiac13 | qman__ lol is there a recovery option | 22:43 |
| sherr | Xodiac13: Can you boot an old kernel i.e. ESC/Shift at boot to get grub menu / try different kernel? | 22:44 |
| Xodiac13 | sherr: okay when i do that and it works will i be able to have it boot that kernal | 22:44 |
| sherr | If you have a kernel that still boots, you can make that the default to use (if that's what you mean) | 22:45 |
| Xodiac13 | yes | 22:46 |
| Xodiac13 | sherr none of the older kernals worke | 22:46 |
| Xodiac13 | worked* | 22:46 |
| Xodiac13 | sherr i am downloading the ubuntu server 9.10 after that were do i go from there | 22:47 |
| Xodiac13 | sherr or if there is a way to still save the folder and all the files that would be a lot better | 22:47 |
| sherr | Your files/dirs are almost certainly still on the disk fine | 22:47 |
| sherr | Boot a CDROM (maybe live) and backup if you want | 22:47 |
| sherr | Or boot "rescue mode" and try fixing | 22:48 |
| Xodiac13 | sherr when i boot rescue mode is it going to try to fix it automatically | 22:48 |
| sherr | No, you will have to try and fix it. Hard to say what the problem is. | 22:49 |
| sherr | IRC is difficult for this type of support sometimes. Lots of good web guides e.g. | 22:50 |
| sherr | https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/i386/rescue.html | 22:50 |
| sherr | 9.10 better maybe : https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/installation-guide/i386/rescue.html | 22:50 |
| sherr | and the forums. | 22:50 |
| Xodiac13 | sherr okay i will take a look | 22:51 |
| sherr | Good luck anyway :-) | 22:52 |
| Xodiac13 | sherr thank you | 22:53 |
| RoyK | I just hope the grub2 problems gets fixed soon | 22:55 |
| RoyK | I have a truckload of servers that wants a new version and not being able to boot them properly is a bitch | 22:55 |
| Xodiac13 | RoyK i hope i can fix my server lol i really need it working right now | 22:57 |
| * RoyK offers Xodiac13 to transfer $10k to his account | 22:58 | |
| Xodiac13 | lol yeah wooot | 22:59 |
| RoyK | a windows XP CD can do wonders | 22:59 |
| Xodiac13 | RoyK no no no no no lol heck no i refuse to have a server with windows xp i only have windows on 2 computers one for gaming and the other because the ati radeon video card isnt supported anymore its a legacy card | 23:00 |
| * RoyK hands Xodiac13 an opensolaris dvd | 23:02 | |
| Xodiac13 | RoyK not familiar with opensolaris | 23:02 |
| RoyK | I didn't like it much until I discovered zfs and that made me move storage over to opensolaris | 23:03 |
| RoyK | it somehow cancels the need for hardward raid, making it much better through software | 23:04 |
| RoyK | caching with SSDs is nice | 23:04 |
| Xodiac13 | heck yeah | 23:06 |
| Xodiac13 | but i am going to wait on getting SSDs because i heard of them breaking the platter spins to fast and breaks | 23:06 |
| qman__ | I don't know about opensolaris, never used it, but I have used sun solaris | 23:07 |
| qman__ | it may have some nice features but the userland is a total bear | 23:07 |
| RoyK | qman__: userland in solaris 10 is old | 23:07 |
| qman__ | it's like working on a unix box straight out of the 80s | 23:07 |
| RoyK | userland in opensolaris is better, but not really good | 23:09 |
| RoyK | at least you have stuff like vim | 23:09 |
| RoyK | and standard setup with sudo | 23:09 |
| qman__ | had to spend a good hour or two getting the gnu userland and basics | 23:09 |
| qman__ | and even then, half the programs were still the old, unfriendly ones | 23:09 |
| qman__ | nice to know opensolaris isn't as bad | 23:10 |
| RoyK | try opensolaris - it's not that bad | 23:10 |
| RoyK | it's still old stuff, but the zfs stuff rocks and service management is nice once you get to know it | 23:13 |
| qman__ | I imagine so, the straight solaris stuff had some potential | 23:14 |
| qman__ | but was a total pain since I could never figure out what it was trying to tell me | 23:14 |
| RoyK | there are some issues, though, like ssh not logging failed logins unless you touch this and that file, because perhaps someone could fill your disk with faulty login messages and ...... | 23:14 |
| RoyK | there's a lot of old shit with (open)solaris | 23:15 |
| qman__ | I actually encountered a solaris box with a full disk | 23:15 |
| qman__ | you really can't do anything | 23:15 |
| qman__ | it was an old sparc with a 20GB disk in it | 23:15 |
| qman__ | it won't let you stop services or delete files | 23:16 |
| qman__ | because apparently it has to log that action before it performs it, or something | 23:16 |
| qman__ | and couldn't, because there was no free disk space | 23:16 |

| ryanakca | (and keep it up to date with the MD5SUMS of the files in packages) | 23:52 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: removing i386 might drop that a bit | 23:52 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: hm ok - so a 128GB SSD drive isn't enough to host all of the amd64 archive | 23:52 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: prolly not | 23:53 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: great - thanks | 23:53 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: you should just pick up a little usb powered external drive | 23:53 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: 500G | 23:53 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: and keep that in your bag | 23:53 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: I already have one | 23:53 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: then you're set ;-) | 23:53 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: but not 500 Gb :/ | 23:53 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: how big is main only? | 23:54 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: $ du -sh pool/main/ | 23:55 |
| kirkland | 125G pool/main/ | 23:55 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: you could probably have just amd64 of main | 23:55 |
| lifeless | oh mirrors | 23:55 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: and you'll need _all | 23:55 |
| lifeless | jpds: ^ :> if you're still up | 23:55 |
| lifeless | something I was thinking of was having separate mirror sets for amd64/i386 etc | 23:56 |
| lifeless | with the sources files shared between them | 23:56 |
| lifeless | or even a dedicated sources set | 23:56 |
| jpds | lifeless: I only have stats for full archive mirrors... | 23:56 |
| jpds | Oh wait. | 23:57 |
| jpds | lifeless: Interesting. | 23:58 |
| lifeless | yes | 23:59 |
