=== GhostFreeman_ is now known as GhostFreeman [00:22] New bug: #560377 in qemu-kvm (main) "[lucid] Stuttering mouse" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/560377 [00:50] Has anyone here managed to get byobu to run on Hardy? [00:51] o/ [00:51] do I just need to pull down the deb and unpack [00:51] I use the PPA. [00:51] what's the PPA? Apt? [00:51] !ppa [00:51] 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. [00:52] Thanks [01:02] To use ppa on hardy, do I need a launchpad account? [02:12] So it's simple and easy to upgrade from one LTS to the other? [02:28] MTecknology, yes: just a single command and about 1gb of download. [02:28] KurtKraut: that's awsome - i didn't know it was possible :) [02:28] 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] well, the amount of download depends on what you have installed :P [02:29] MTecknology, bookmark this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/installing-upgrading.html [03:29] hi [03:29] im having problems with RAID 10 and ubuntu 9.10 [03:29] its not detecting my drives at installation [03:29] they're already configured as raid 10 via motherboard controller [03:32] limpc: controller not supported? what is it? [03:33] 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] 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] but none of the drives show up in ubuntu's partition manager during installation [03:36] Hey, im trying to set up a VPN server for my iphone using this guide http://en.dogeno.us/2009/05/setup-a-vpn-server-in-ubuntu-810-for-iphone/ and my iphone wont seem to connect [03:37] ........ [03:39] hello/ [05:25] Hi there. I'm trying to setup a quick server with apache/fcgid and I'm getting a 403 error when attempting to run my fastcgi program. no errors are landing in the error logs. Any idea what I'm missing? [05:38] figured it out [06:09] 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? [06:34] jetole: I would try creating an empty pool and putting those macs in the pool; or you could use ipfilter [06:34] sorry, iptables [06:34] theres also a ethernet layer table/filter [06:36] 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 [07:39] gah.. I'm trying to make one server send email to another server - both on the same lan- they don't want to listen... [07:41] 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... [07:43] ok - exim logs say that the request isn't even making it to exim.. [11:56] New bug: #560603 in php5 (main) "crashes with SIGSEGV" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/560603 [12:15] hello everyone im having a problem with a NIC under server 9.10 ; lspci outputs "Ethernet controller: Device 00ec:8139 (rev 10)" . any idea what to do ? === [1]mrcoodles is now known as mrcoodles [14:01] Hello. I just upgraded my server to lucid, and ran into an issue with LVM devices (including root) not being automounted anymore (due to missing dm_mod). Does anyone have a pointer to nice docs that explain how I should modify my system to set up initramfs properly? [15:55] I want to configure mail server over intranet in ubuntu. any guidelines to configure it? [15:57] padhu: There is a lot of mail server setup documentation in the Ubuntu Server Guide. === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [16:10] padhu: apt-get install postfix? [16:11] RoyK&^: Is it enough? [16:12] is it require to edit .conf file before starting service? [16:13] padhu: make sure it works only on the intranet and doesn't send mail to the outside [16:13] padhu: obviously that depends on what you want to do [16:13] padhu: especially not mail *from* outside *to* outside [16:14] guntbert: i don't think you can configure postfix to route only to certain subnets [16:14] guntbert: heh - that's relaying [16:14] default postfix config doesn't allow for much relaying [16:14] My requirement is Local network only. not for outside. Users count is nearly 100 [16:15] iirc default is to relay from my_networks [16:15] padhu: You want more than an MTA. I'd look at the server guide. [16:15] padhu: postfix is an mta, doing transport, you might want to have imap access as well? [16:15] RoyK^: yes - my concern was relaying [16:16] that's not a problem unless you do something wierd in main.cf [16:16] Rpyk^: any setup guide or Howto? [16:16] imap also wanted [16:17] padhu: It's in the server guide. [16:17] See help.ubuntu.com [16:17] padhu: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html [16:18] ScottK: Link please [16:18] padhu: you can replace the version number ... :) [16:18] padhu: guntbert just gave you the link for 8.04. Make sure you get the version for what you are running. [16:19] Thank you [16:19] Any version, but only ubuntu [16:20] most of people point me other flavours. But i want ubuntu [16:20] padhu: if you want a full-grown email system, take a look at zimbra [16:21] easy to setup and manage, but it works best on a dedicated system (or VM) [16:23] oh, is it possible to setup for local network? [16:24] <_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? [16:25] RoyK^: any guide or link? [16:25] _Dok_: Yes. [16:25] _Dok_: if you wait a bit and install 10.04 - that is LTS too - so you get a very long support [16:26] <_Dok_> 10.4? [16:26] It will be released on April 29. [16:26] <_Dok_> when will 10.4 been released? [16:28] padhu: zimbra.com [16:29] padhu: otherwise will google.com help you quite efficiently [16:29] THanjk you :-) [16:29] google is good partner for search ;-) [16:30] 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. [16:31] ScottK: I use zimbra on ubuntu 8.04 [16:31] RoyK^: Yes, but it's not part of Ubuntu. [16:31] well, still, it rocks [16:31] It also does a lot of things that he didn't express an interest in. [16:32] 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] It seems rather odd to jump to non-FOSS solutions when not needed on a FOSS distro support/development channel. [16:32] zimbra is gpl [16:33] Parts. [16:33] the OSS zimbra is pure gpl [16:33] the closed zimbra contains more parts not under gpl [16:33] In any case, Ubuntu Server pretty easily meets the needs expressed. [16:35] 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 [16:59] <_Dok_> will it possible to update from 9.10 to 10.04 LTS? [17:01] do-release-upgrade [17:01] or do-release-upgrade -d to upgrade to the beta [17:01] <_Dok_> ic [17:27] 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? [17:29] logsentry [17:29] Zider: never heard of it - it is a seperate package? [17:30] no idea if there's a package for it [17:34] no logsentry package afaics [17:34] logwatch and fwlogwatch are there, though [17:45] jMyles: logwatch looks ok [17:50] 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] live in * [18:17] darksider: I don't see why not, but I guess a 100Mbps link would be a minimum [18:28] 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 ^_^ [18:31] aren't there quite a few mirrors in the uk already? [18:31] and - does Scotland have a separate network, or is all routed through southern UK? [18:33] which reminds me I haven't been in Scotland for years [18:33] * RoyK^ misses good Haggis with a Guinness or two [19:03] looking for some help with a network install, any takers? === lenios_ is now known as lenios [19:05] blacksunseven, any problem? [19:05] yeah, i've followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet to the tee, making the appropriate changes [19:06] but when i execute the wrapper i get the following Starting bootpd: default current directory is at /var/lib/tftpboot ... :bootpd not running [19:07] 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 [19:10] there's an alternative with dhcp at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/installation-guide/i386/install-tftp.html [19:12] giving it a shot now [19:13] Setting up dhcp3-server (3.1.2-1ubuntu7.1) ... [19:13] Generating /etc/default/dhcp3-server... [19:13] * Starting DHCP server dhcpd3 * check syslog for diagnostics. [19:13] [fail] [19:13] invoke-rc.d: initscript dhcp3-server, action "start" failed. [19:17] check syslog then [19:17] yeah i needed to change the config file, where i am now [19:23] http://pastebin.org/147201 [19:28] The error is quite clear "Not configured to listen on any interfaces!" [19:28] You need to configure the DHCP file to listen on one of your network interfaces. [19:34] i understand, but i'm not sure how to do that [19:35] blacksunseven: it's in the manual, and in the config file [19:35] are tee eff em [19:36] i had tried that before saying anything [19:36] the manual is long [19:36] and i'm not familiar with everything in it [19:40] cant find it [19:41] New bug: #363877 in python-boto (main) "Deprecation Warnings when running under Python 2.6" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/363877 [19:44] 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. [19:46] blacksunseven: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html [19:47] jMyles: Round my way, the standard realtime way is "tail -f /var/log/syslog" :-) [19:47] Alternatives (web page style) are MRTG, munin, cacti etc. [19:49] 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] 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 [19:50] sherr: Perhaps also a similar but less dramatic performance whenever a DHCP lease is given out...? [19:51] 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] If you want monitoring, solutions like "nagios" exist. [19:53] 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. [19:55] edakiri: "ls", "chmod" and "chown" in a script I guess. What archive formats? [19:56] sherr: PAQ , 7z although I know it can be done through tar, I want a non [19:57] non-solid archive & ability to selectively extract files [20:35] 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 [20:42] Yes, looks possible. [21:32] hello, I am running Karmic after upgrading from Jaunty. I'm trying to upgrade my eucalyptus install from 1.6.1 to 1.6.2. Can anyone help direct me on this? [21:37] Does anybody has experience with cwrsync? [22:25] 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? [22:38] 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 [22:39] 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 [22:40] 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] 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] 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 [22:41] KurtKraut: for power on/off, reboot and serial redirection it doesn't [22:41] stgraber, oh, that's sad :( [22:41] 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 [22:42] 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] stgraber, what I miss the most is the hability to shutdown or power up remotely thru internet and change BIOS settings remotely. [22:42] stgraber, for the rest, I already use SSH. [22:42] 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] KurtKraut: ok, so AMT should actually do what you're looking for [22:43] stgraber, so AMT allows me to access a BIOS of remote machine remotely without using Microsoft Windows in my company?
