[00:01] <jeffesquivel> Rafael, that's what the community is for... :-)
[00:02] <Rafael> jeffesquivel..that is the way i thought it should be, but i find sometimes thta people are not so friendly when you have somebody like me who is trying to learn and is kind of hard when you are an old man like me..so thanks
[00:04] <jeffesquivel> Rafael, :-)
[00:04] <Rafael> have a great day
[00:06] <jeffesquivel> Rafael, thanks, you too

[02:41] <gbear14275> hey guys, just installed 10.04 beta 1 on my server and going through some initial setup.  I was hoping for some recommendations for some good gui tools I can use to manage the machine through the network.  Not sure how much support I'll get but does anyone have any recommendations?  I'm planning on this being a vm host.
[02:42] <gbear14275> Right now I'm thinking of using tools such as virt-manager through x forwarding... but am wondering if there are better ways.  My first hiccup was trying to use gparted and it not having any lvm2 support so am now a little nervous about that
[03:45] <masu3701> i just installed ubuntu server....i got to access it using filezilla....
[03:45] <masu3701> now how to i access from outside the network?
[11:34] <Ichat> can anyone help me with getting my printer up and running :   ubuntu  8.04  server    ebox 1.4    samsung clp310
[12:07] <ngw> hi *
[12:08] <ngw> sorry for the dumb question, but what should I do if I want to test an EC2 deployment on a VM like vmware ?
[12:09] <ngw> I'm kind of lost, I'm developing a web application with a rather difficult deployment (rails 3 app + node.js daemon and some ticks with nginx) and I would like to test it before buying an EC2 instance
[12:10] <ngw> locally I mean
[12:10] <lifeless> UEC
[12:10] <lifeless> http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/private
[12:10] <lifeless> its a free software EC2 clone
[12:10] <lifeless> you can set that up locally and test your deployments
[12:11] <ngw> lifeless: fantastic, will try immediately
[12:11] <ngw> thanks a lot
[12:20] <barret2222> hi
[13:05] <Annaa> http://tinypic.zapto.org/2kn4m8.png?t=1270382266 do my breasts look to big?
[16:37] <lamont> 555115 sounds like a feature, maybe?
[17:22] <dassouki> for some reason i can't enable .htaccess for a site i have under ispconfig .. the site goes bazunk when i enable it.. my .htaccess and my log http://pastie.org/902745
[17:34] <Rafael_> i have 2 software raid 1 boot and swap and 2 raid 5 system and data i will like to go from ext3 and ext4  any easy way to do it
[17:40] <RoyK> why change? ext3 works.....
[17:41] <RoyK> if you need to, there are rather good docs available through this fancy website called Google
[17:41] <holmser> I was installing 9.10 server on a dual xenon with a raid 5 setup yesterday, and both grub and lilo failed to install
[17:41] <Rafael_> RoyK: i have bieng testing the server for the past 3 month..this is the time to scre up..i want to be able to do it so in the future when is fully functional i can do any upgrades like that and i know how to solve problems if any
[17:42] <holmser> I've been googling around but I can't seem to find any info on what the problem may be
[17:42] <RoyK> holmser: don't use raid5 on the root
[17:42] <RoyK> just don't
[17:42] <RoyK> use a little mirror for the root
[17:43] <holmser> ok
[17:43] <holmser> this is gonna be a really newbish question, but one of my IT buddies gave me this server and I have never worked with a raid 5 setup before
[17:43] <Rafael_> i have bieng googling and nit a lot of thinks out there
[17:44] <holmser> how would I set up that mirror?
[17:44] <RoyK> hardware or software?
[17:44] <holmser> hardware
[17:45] <RoyK> if it's hardware raid it should be trivial to run it all off that
[17:45] <RoyK> linux won't see the raid and won't care
[17:45] <RoyK> if grub install fails, use a small (1GB?) partition for /boot and the rest for something else
[17:46] <holmser> ok... so I would just need to go in and manually partition the drives instead of using the automatic setting?
[17:46] <RoyK> make sure /boot is the first partition
[17:46] <RoyK> yes, do that
[17:46] <holmser> ok.  I'll try that this afternoon.  Thanks for the help
[19:12] <IIID> anyone has experience to serve pre gzipped files on apache?
[19:13] <IIID> Like .css or .js files
[19:17] <KurtKraut> IIID, what do you want to know, precisely?
[19:43] <incorrect> for some reason dpkg-reconfigure slapd doesn't ask me to configure it
[19:58] <IIID> KurtKraut, i couldnt make it work... it is eaither invalid characters, or doesnt get the compressed file if content-encoder header is not sent
[20:04] <Shurik> hi, is there any ubuntu server experts?
[20:05] <Shurik> hi. My experience with linux - second day. I finally setup ubuntu server and setup my domain name - esceloju.lv - this show "It works!". I updated to kubuntu because I was unable to find any commands how to setup software etc. i don`t have any clue where to start setup apache, mysql  thanks
[20:06] <Shurik> is anybody live?
[20:06] <ScottK> !weekend | Shurik
[20:07] <Shurik> thanks
[20:07] <viezerd> Shurik: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers provides you some basic information
[20:07] <viezerd> to getting started
[20:09] <Shurik> ok, i`ll erad this and came back after some years... :)
[20:11] <Shurik> one quest about subdomains. my doesn`t work if wrote www.esceloju.lv but works without www. Is this a router problem or dns provider  ?
[20:15] <viezerd> probably a dns
[20:15] <IIID> dns if you have the www alias set in virtualhost settings
[20:19] <Shurik> in Alias field I need to wrote only subdomain name, like www  only? or full adress likewww.esceloju.lv?
[20:25] <IIID> Shurik, there are several ways depending on your configuration needs, if one domain, ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com
[20:28] <Shurik> oh, it works!:)
[20:28] <Shurik> fixed
[20:29] <Shurik> maybe you can tell where i can find index.html file on my server?:) this would be very nice
[20:29] <Shurik> :D
[20:31] <IIID> "/var/www" if default
[20:34] <Shurik> yes, the faile is there, but I can`t save it - Check that you have write access to this file or that enough disk space is available.
[20:35] <Shurik> any solutions?
[20:38] <Shurik> ok, thanks guys for support
[20:42] <jeffesquivel> I wonder if that was sarcasm... on IRC I can never tell...
[20:43] <viezerd> he will be back after some reading
[20:48] <jeffesquivel> viezerd, ha ha... ok
[21:12] <masu3701> i am shoppin for a home server....wll run file server, mail server
[21:12] <masu3701> how big shuld the hd and memory be for ubuntu server?
[21:16] <jpds> 3GB.... 512MB should do it?
[21:17] <KurtKraut> masu3701, I've typed 'ubuntu minimum system requirements' on Google and found this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - I think this link will help you to find your answer
[21:18] <ScottK> It depends a lot on what you're going to do with it.
[21:18] <IIID> if you want performance, there is virtually no upper limit
[21:24] <qman__> yeah, ubuntu will run on just about anything
[21:24] <qman__> the hardware you choose should be based on what you want it to do
[21:25] <qman__> I have one old box still chugging along, 200MHz
[21:33] <masu3701> maybe i just need a biger hard drive
[21:49] <Psi-Jack> During the installation of Ubuntu 9.10 at tasksel, what does "Virtual Machine host" end up installing?
[21:50] <viezerd> not sure, but I have KVM installed and when I execute 'tasksel' I see the x in Virtual machine host'
[21:51] <Psi-Jack> Yeah. I just noticed that too, when I switched my kvm switch to my other server that is also a kvm server. ;)
[21:54] <viezerd> kvm is not only a switch, its also a kernel-based virual machine :)
[21:54] <Psi-Jack> Yep. :p
[21:54] <Psi-Jack> Why I said, both kvm switch, and kvm server. ;)
[21:55] <viezerd> ah :P
[21:55] <Psi-Jack> I have 3 vm server clusters.
[23:14] <dvheumen> Hi. Can anyone confirm my suspicion that it is (technically) impossible to add a disk to an mdadm mirror array that is even slightly smaller? (I'm asking because I've got this problem and I'm ready to move the stuff over to another disk, but I'd like the easiest way out :P)
[23:25] <Psi-Jack> dvheumen: Your suspicion is correct.
[23:42] <MTecknology> So, it's a little off topic but - why would you guys pick Ubuntu over something else like Gentoo or CentOS?
[23:43] <tholo> If you are managing multiple servers Gentoo gets to be a pain...
[23:45] <jongbergs> !hi
[23:45] <MTecknology> tholo: any other reasons?
[23:46] <tholo> Not really, as far as I am concerned.
[23:47] <jongbergs> hi, i've installed ubuntu 9.10 server but forgot to install the LAMP stack package during installation. How can i install LAMP from the server CD installer directly without needing internet access?
[23:47] <MTecknology> tholo: thanks very very much - I really didn't care about the specific reason but I was more interested in how you approached it - not the 'it sucks' approach
[23:48] <tholo> No, Gentoo is fine for low numbers of servers. But it becomes a pain when you have a lot of them. Ubuntu and CentOS are both fine in that case.
[23:48] <tholo> That's all just my personal opinion, of course. :-p
[23:48] <MTecknology> jongbergs: add the cd as a repo, apt-get update && tasksel
[23:48] <MTecknology> jongbergs: should work
[23:56] <Psi-Jack> I'm having an issue getting clvm working. When I set the lvm.conf locking_type = 3, but I'm getting the following two lines of error:
[23:56] <Psi-Jack>   Unknown locking type requested.
[23:56] <Psi-Jack>   Locking type 3 initialisation failed.
[23:58] <jasonmchristos> Christ Jesus rose from the dead and so will you , do not fear death. This is the day which by faith we conquer all fear, and maximise our potential as human biengs.
[23:58]  * Psi-Jack sighs.
[23:58] <Psi-Jack> Fracking trolls!
[23:59] <MTecknology> jasonmchristos: thanks for the spam
[23:59] <jasonmchristos> just a word of encouragment
[23:59] <jasonmchristos> i you dont like it just ignore it
