| GhostFreeman | Has anyone here managed to get byobu to run on Hardy? | 00:50 |
| Nafallo | o/ | 00:51 |
| GhostFreeman | do I just need to pull down the deb and unpack | 00:51 |
| Nafallo | I use the PPA. | 00:51 |
| GhostFreeman | what's the PPA? Apt? | 00:51 |
| Nafallo | !ppa | 00:51 |
| ubottu | With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 00:51 |
| GhostFreeman | Thanks | 00:52 |
| GhostFreeman | To use ppa on hardy, do I need a launchpad account? | 01:02 |
| MTecknology | So it's simple and easy to upgrade from one LTS to the other? | 02:12 |
| KurtKraut | MTecknology, yes: just a single command and about 1gb of download. | 02:28 |
| MTecknology | KurtKraut: that's awsome - i didn't know it was possible :) | 02:28 |
| KurtKraut | MTecknology, there might be some questions asked during the processe if you have installed a packaged that has been through some deep changes. | 02:28 |
| JanC | well, the amount of download depends on what you have installed :P | 02:28 |

| limpc | hi | 03:29 |
| limpc | im having problems with RAID 10 and ubuntu 9.10 | 03:29 |
| limpc | its not detecting my drives at installation | 03:29 |
| limpc | they're already configured as raid 10 via motherboard controller | 03:29 |
| pmatulis | limpc: controller not supported? what is it? | 03:32 |
| limpc | no, theres no actual raid controller, its more of softRAID than a real HW raid controller. however its built into the motherboard, and is handled by an AMD SB850 chipset | 03:33 |
| limpc | it has a raid config utility built in, i set up 4 2TB drives as RAID 10, it shows a LD of 3999.99 afterwards | 03:33 |
| limpc | but none of the drives show up in ubuntu's partition manager during installation | 03:33 |

| jetole | hey guys. Does anyone know how to setup dhcpd so that it ignores certain mac addresses. i.e. it doesn't offer them any dhcp service what so ever? | 06:09 |
| lifeless | jetole: I would try creating an empty pool and putting those macs in the pool; or you could use ipfilter | 06:34 |
| lifeless | sorry, iptables | 06:34 |
| lifeless | theres also a ethernet layer table/filter | 06:34 |
| jetole | I think you mean arptables on that comment but this isn't really something in my case that I think I want handled by the firewall but I will look into the empty pool concept | 06:36 |
| MTecknology | gah.. I'm trying to make one server send email to another server - both on the same lan- they don't want to listen... | 07:39 |
| MTecknology | I can do telnet lists.kalliki.com 25 - so the hosts file is making it resolve correctly... I'm starting to think exim is at fault but the logs may or may not agree - I'm not sure... | 07:41 |
| MTecknology | ok - exim logs say that the request isn't even making it to exim.. | 07:43 |

| RoyK^ | padhu: apt-get install postfix? | 16:10 |
| padhu | RoyK&^: Is it enough? | 16:11 |
| padhu | is it require to edit .conf file before starting service? | 16:12 |
| guntbert | padhu: make sure it works only on the intranet and doesn't send mail to the outside | 16:13 |
| RoyK^ | padhu: obviously that depends on what you want to do | 16:13 |
| guntbert | padhu: especially not mail *from* outside *to* outside | 16:13 |
| RoyK^ | guntbert: i don't think you can configure postfix to route only to certain subnets | 16:14 |
| RoyK^ | guntbert: heh - that's relaying | 16:14 |
| RoyK^ | default postfix config doesn't allow for much relaying | 16:14 |
| padhu | My requirement is Local network only. not for outside. Users count is nearly 100 | 16:14 |
| RoyK^ | iirc default is to relay from my_networks | 16:15 |
| ScottK | padhu: You want more than an MTA. I'd look at the server guide. | 16:15 |
| RoyK^ | padhu: postfix is an mta, doing transport, you might want to have imap access as well? | 16:15 |
| guntbert | RoyK^: yes - my concern was relaying | 16:15 |
| RoyK^ | that's not a problem unless you do something wierd in main.cf | 16:16 |
| padhu | Rpyk^: any setup guide or Howto? | 16:16 |
| padhu | imap also wanted | 16:16 |
| ScottK | padhu: It's in the server guide. | 16:17 |
| ScottK | See help.ubuntu.com | 16:17 |
| guntbert | padhu: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html | 16:17 |
| padhu | ScottK: Link please | 16:18 |
| guntbert | padhu: you can replace the version number ... :) | 16:18 |
| ScottK | padhu: guntbert just gave you the link for 8.04. Make sure you get the version for what you are running. | 16:18 |
| padhu | Thank you | 16:19 |
| padhu | Any version, but only ubuntu | 16:19 |
| padhu | most of people point me other flavours. But i want ubuntu | 16:20 |
| RoyK^ | padhu: if you want a full-grown email system, take a look at zimbra | 16:20 |
| RoyK^ | easy to setup and manage, but it works best on a dedicated system (or VM) | 16:21 |
| padhu | oh, is it possible to setup for local network? | 16:23 |
| _Dok_ | I think about ubuntu server for my new server. I read, that 9.10 is maintained until 2011. Is it possible to update the server 2011 remote? | 16:24 |
| padhu | RoyK^: any guide or link? | 16:25 |
| ScottK | _Dok_: Yes. | 16:25 |
| guntbert | _Dok_: if you wait a bit and install 10.04 - that is LTS too - so you get a very long support | 16:25 |
| _Dok_ | 10.4? | 16:26 |
| ScottK | It will be released on April 29. | 16:26 |
| _Dok_ | when will 10.4 been released? | 16:26 |
| RoyK^ | padhu: zimbra.com | 16:28 |
| RoyK^ | padhu: otherwise will google.com help you quite efficiently | 16:29 |
| padhu | THanjk you :-) | 16:29 |
| padhu | google is good partner for search ;-) | 16:29 |
| ScottK | RoyK^: Generally we try to help use Ubuntu Server here. I'm not sure why you're directing people elsewhere when it could serve their needs. | 16:30 |
| RoyK^ | ScottK: I use zimbra on ubuntu 8.04 | 16:31 |
| ScottK | RoyK^: Yes, but it's not part of Ubuntu. | 16:31 |
| RoyK^ | well, still, it rocks | 16:31 |
| ScottK | It also does a lot of things that he didn't express an interest in. | 16:31 |
| RoyK^ | he mostly expressed an interest in a mail system, and zimbra is easy to setup, so I mentioned it - is that so bad? | 16:32 |
| ScottK | It seems rather odd to jump to non-FOSS solutions when not needed on a FOSS distro support/development channel. | 16:32 |
| RoyK^ | zimbra is gpl | 16:32 |
| ScottK | Parts. | 16:33 |
| RoyK^ | the OSS zimbra is pure gpl | 16:33 |
| RoyK^ | the closed zimbra contains more parts not under gpl | 16:33 |
| ScottK | In any case, Ubuntu Server pretty easily meets the needs expressed. | 16:33 |
| RoyK^ | it does, but it seemed to me he didn't know much about linux in the first place, so setting up one of the email servers in ubuntu might be a bit of a hassle | 16:35 |
| _Dok_ | will it possible to update from 9.10 to 10.04 LTS? | 16:59 |
| RoyK^ | do-release-upgrade | 17:01 |
| RoyK^ | or do-release-upgrade -d to upgrade to the beta | 17:01 |

| jMyles | Looking for opinions: What's a good way to watch the activities of a server? cat /var/log/*.log is too intense for me, especially the firewall messages. What are some of your favorite setups? | 17:27 |
| Zider | logsentry | 17:29 |
| jMyles | Zider: never heard of it - it is a seperate package? | 17:29 |
| Zider | no idea if there's a package for it | 17:30 |
| RoyK^ | no logsentry package afaics | 17:34 |
| RoyK^ | logwatch and fwlogwatch are there, though | 17:34 |
| RoyK^ | jMyles: logwatch looks ok | 17:45 |
| darksider | would it be helpful to ubuntu if i hosted a mirror of all the repositories? i livei in scotland, so it would maybe be nice to have a SCOTLAND mirror for those north of the UK border?? | 17:50 |
| darksider | live in * | 17:50 |
| RoyK^ | darksider: I don't see why not, but I guess a 100Mbps link would be a minimum | 18:17 |
| darksider | RoyK, aha..i think i could maybe get that...i will obviously be testing it out to see how well it handles MY stuff first ^_^ | 18:28 |
| RoyK^ | aren't there quite a few mirrors in the uk already? | 18:31 |
| RoyK^ | and - does Scotland have a separate network, or is all routed through southern UK? | 18:31 |
| RoyK^ | which reminds me I haven't been in Scotland for years | 18:33 |

| lenios | blacksunseven, any problem? | 19:05 |
| blacksunseven | yeah, i've followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet to the tee, making the appropriate changes | 19:05 |
| blacksunseven | but when i execute the wrapper i get the following Starting bootpd: default current directory is at /var/lib/tftpboot ... :bootpd not running | 19:06 |
| blacksunseven | the guide does reference inetd which was not installed, so i installed xinetd and have added bootp and tftp lines to the conf for that | 19:07 |
| lenios | there's an alternative with dhcp at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/installation-guide/i386/install-tftp.html | 19:10 |
| blacksunseven | giving it a shot now | 19:12 |

| blacksunseven | invoke-rc.d: initscript dhcp3-server, action "start" failed. | 19:13 |
| lenios | check syslog then | 19:17 |
| blacksunseven | yeah i needed to change the config file, where i am now | 19:17 |
| blacksunseven | http://pastebin.org/147201 | 19:23 |
| sherr | The error is quite clear "Not configured to listen on any interfaces!" | 19:28 |
| sherr | You need to configure the DHCP file to listen on one of your network interfaces. | 19:28 |
| blacksunseven | i understand, but i'm not sure how to do that | 19:34 |
| RoyK^ | blacksunseven: it's in the manual, and in the config file | 19:35 |
| RoyK^ | are tee eff em | 19:35 |
| blacksunseven | i had tried that before saying anything | 19:36 |
| blacksunseven | the manual is long | 19:36 |

| uvirtbot | New bug: #363877 in python-boto (main) "Deprecation Warnings when running under Python 2.6" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/363877 | 19:41 |
| jMyles | Looking for a good way to watch logs in real time on my ubuntu server, preferably color-coded. What's the standard here? logwatch gives me a crazy bizarre output. | 19:44 |
| sherr | blacksunseven: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html | 19:46 |
| sherr | jMyles: Round my way, the standard realtime way is "tail -f /var/log/syslog" :-) | 19:47 |
| sherr | Alternatives (web page style) are MRTG, munin, cacti etc. | 19:47 |
| jMyles | sherr: Yeah, I'm using tail now, but it's a little dizzying. I'd like to have something that's color coded, perhaps that I can switch different logs on and off during operation. | 19:49 |
| jMyles | sherr: I'd love a beep when someone successfully SSH's, along with a bold alert of who it was and how they were authenticated | 19:49 |
| jMyles | sherr: Perhaps also a similar but less dramatic performance whenever a DHCP lease is given out...? | 19:50 |
| sherr | jMyles: Maybe that sort of stuff gets wrapped up in the "management" overlays you can get e.g. ebox. But I don't know. | 19:51 |
| sherr | If you want monitoring, solutions like "nagios" exist. | 19:51 |
| edakiri | What software can capture just the unix permissions information, including user & group and later reapply them to files? That would be useful for backup and restoration with some archive formats. | 19:53 |
| sherr | edakiri: "ls", "chmod" and "chown" in a script I guess. What archive formats? | 19:55 |
| edakiri | sherr: PAQ , 7z although I know it can be done through tar, I want a non | 19:56 |
| edakiri | non-solid archive & ability to selectively extract files | 19:57 |
| edakiri | remembered something related by SUSE. It is not a complete solution in itself. Maybe with the right 'find' parameters? http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/source/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/suse/src/permissions-2009.10.07.1653-2.1.src.rpm | 20:35 |

| KurtKraut | The Intel vPro technology has a subset called Intel AMT that allows VNC/KVM access to BIOS, allowing remote BIOS configuration, remote shutdown and even remote power up through the internet. Can this be done with Linux? All demos I see are using Windows. This is quite a good feature for servers. Is anyone here aware of that? | 22:25 |
| stgraber | KurtKraut: servers tend to have something better than the AMT (HP iLO or DELL drac) though AMT can be useful to manage a set of laptop and desktop in a corporate environment | 22:38 |
| stgraber | KurtKraut: to make the actual chipset to work, it's relatively easy, it's just a few options to set in the BIOS, you'll then be able to connect over http to the chip and shutdown/reboot/tweak some settings of your laptop/desktop | 22:39 |
| stgraber | KurtKraut: AFAIK the actual KVM part is done through an agent in the OS, that part doesn't work on Linux but a similar functionality could be provided by having a VNC and/or SSH server started at boot time | 22:40 |
| KurtKraut | stgraber, so I can purchase computers/laptops with AMT, use Ubuntu in these computers and Ubuntu at my office and I'll be able to control them remotely. AMT doesn't require Windows, right? | 22:40 |
| stgraber | KurtKraut: as for the actual client, you can either use your web browser or use some package in the archive to access to the serial redirect option of the AMT | 22:40 |
| stgraber | KurtKraut: for power on/off, reboot and serial redirection it doesn't | 22:41 |
| KurtKraut | stgraber, oh, that's sad :( | 22:41 |
| stgraber | KurtKraut: for a well integrated remote desktop (similar to having a KVM in your laptop), it'll require something to be installed in the OS | 22:41 |
| stgraber | so if your goal is to be able to start laptop/desktop remotely and then connect to them over SSH or VNC, amt will work well | 22:42 |
| KurtKraut | stgraber, what I miss the most is the hability to shutdown or power up remotely thru internet and change BIOS settings remotely. | 22:42 |
| KurtKraut | stgraber, for the rest, I already use SSH. | 22:42 |
| stgraber | though I guess you'll very likely need some management tool if you want to control more than a desktop at once (and I don't think that exists on Linux yet) | 22:42 |
| stgraber | KurtKraut: ok, so AMT should actually do what you're looking for | 22:42 |
| KurtKraut | stgraber, so AMT allows me to access a BIOS of remote machine remotely without using Microsoft Windows in my company? | 22:43 |
