[00:04] <mininessie> um how do i download server kernel for regular ubuntu 32bit 10.04
[00:05] <mininessie> can someone help me
[00:07] <mininessie> um how do i download server kernel for regular ubuntu 32bit 10.04
[00:07] <dominicdinada> !lucid
[00:07] <dominicdinada> mininessie: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso
[00:08] <ziesemer_> I think the question being asked is how to install / use the server version of the kernel on a previous (desktop) install?
[00:08] <viezerd> aptitude has an option "-d" to download only
[00:12] <dominicdinada> to reinstall iptables    sudo aptitude reinstall iptables
[00:12] <dominicdinada> ?
[00:12] <ScottK> mininessie: There isn't an i386 server kernel anymore.  Use generic.
[00:12] <mininessie> ziesemer_: correct
[00:13] <mininessie> ScottK: okay i just want the best kernel type
[00:13] <dominicdinada> Orville Reddenboker type ? =)
[00:15] <JanC> mininessie: install linux-server
[00:16] <JanC> mininessie: but best kernel might depend on what you want of your system
[00:16] <mininessie> JanC: well i'm running mac i want the best graphics sound and battery life
[00:17] <ScottK> Probably not on a server though
[00:17] <JanC> mininessie: that doesn't sound like a server
[00:18] <mininessie> JanC: which one does it sound like
[00:18] <JanC> well, I have no servers witrh graphics, sound or a battery really  ;)
[00:29] <qman__> my servers have batteries, but not internally
[00:29] <qman__> no graphics, no sound
[00:29] <qman__> the server kernel is not going to be tuned for the best performance of those things
[00:51] <dominicdinada> !ufw
[00:52] <dominicdinada> !bridge
[00:53] <dominicdinada> someone please kill me now :(

[01:22] <iclebyte> any known issues with bridging of a KVM host controlled by libvirt on 9.10 server?
[01:23] <ziesemer_> I have a virtual machine (in VirtualBox) that I installed lucid (desktop) into.  I then installed linux-image-virtual , which is apparently based on server - and apparently even uses the same headers.  However, after rebooting, I get "Giving up waiting for a root device", and it drops to a BusyBox root shell.
[01:24] <iclebyte> i can get to the host from the guest via the bridge but i can't seem to get out any further than that
[01:24] <iclebyte> it's had me for 3 days
[01:24] <ziesemer_> It notes that /dev/disk/by-uuid/... doesn't exist.  Sure enough, I have /dev/disk/by-path, but I don't even have a by-uuid folder.  Rebooting using the old generic kernel works just fine.  Ideas?
[01:25] <mannyv> i just  installed lucid server with the os on a raid1 with lvm and it will not boot. I am getting the error no init found abda busybox prompt
[01:27] <mannyv> can anyone help with this?
[01:28] <gauravk> Hello, all, I had a question about partitioning. I have a few internal HDDs that I want to set up as samba shares that are going to contain media. I was wondering where I should mount them (I'm installing Ubuntu-server now).
[01:29] <iclebyte> gauravk, under /media seems to be the general ubuntu convention.
[01:29] <iclebyte> traditionally it would have been under /mnt/
[01:30] <iclebyte> but this is 2010 - so /media/ it is.
[01:30] <gauravk> Okay, sounds good, thanks for the help.
[01:31] <iclebyte> np.
[01:46] <ScottK> ziesemer_: My suggestion would be use the kernel that works.
[01:46] <kaushal> hi
[01:46] <ziesemer_> ScottK:  Yeah - but I want to get it working / know why.  :-)  It's just a trivial VM, so even if I loose it - no big deal.
[01:47] <ziesemer_> I did find that there is not even a /dev/sd0 or /dev/hd0 - so thinking a driver issue.
[01:47] <ScottK> No idea.  Sorry.
[01:47] <ziesemer_> Maybe linux-image-virtual has too few drivers.  :-)
[01:48] <ziesemer_> I'll try linux-image-server just for kicks.
[01:48] <kaushal> I get this http://fpaste.org/cyhT/ on the console of Ubuntu Linux 8.04 server
[01:48] <kaushal> Please suggest
[01:48] <kaushal> I did some troubleshooting by replacing the RAM with the new ones
[01:48] <kaushal> didnot help
[01:48] <kaushal> Any clue ?
[01:52]  * ziesemer_ Aha!  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/570542
[02:05] <dominicdinada> ok kids need a hand :(
[02:06] <dominicdinada> Aha!
[03:01] <datz> hi, I'm actually using xubuntu, but the box has no monitor.. I'd like to get the latest kernel update, but apt-get upgrade doesn't do it. Can anyone lend me a hand?
[03:01] <qman__> datz, use apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:01] <qman__> 'upgrade' will not install new packages or remove old ones, only upgrade in place
[03:02] <qman__> updating your kernel requires the installation of new packages
[03:02] <qman__> which dist-upgrade will do
[03:02] <datz> ah... humm.. that will not move me from say.. 9.10 to 10.04 though, will it?
[03:03] <ziesemer_> I _think_ you need do-release-upgrade for that to happen.
[03:04] <datz> ok, I'll try dist-upgrade and see what happens.. thanks guys
[03:04] <qman__> yes, dist-upgrade will not do a release upgrade
[03:05] <datz> thanks, running it now
[03:17] <billybigrigger> can someone lend a quick hand...im trying to report an attack on my site to a company, and i want to parse all the lines from my auth.log that contain a certain ip address so i can easily paste it into a txt file...
[03:18] <billybigrigger> cat auth.log |grep xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx > abuse.log
[03:18] <ziesemer_> grep x.x.x.x auth.log > attack.txt
[03:18] <billybigrigger> am i close?
[03:18] <billybigrigger> ooooh
[03:18] <ziesemer_> Yours works, too.
[03:18] <billybigrigger> really?
[03:18] <billybigrigger> heh, i'm smarter than i think :P hahaha
[03:18] <billybigrigger> thanks ziesemer_
[03:19] <billybigrigger> cat would actually display all of auth.log first though, wouldn't it?
[03:19] <ziesemer_> You wouldn't see it, as it would all be consumed by grep.
[03:26] <mannyv> i just install lucid server with a raid1 and it wont boot I  am getting no init found and a busybox prompt

[04:03] <yaboo> trying to install samba and get package samba is not available
[04:05] <yaboo> how can i resolve this please
[04:06] <ScottK> yaboo: We'd need to see the exact error.

[04:09] <yaboo> Package samba is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[04:09] <yaboo> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[04:09] <yaboo> is only available from another source
[04:09] <yaboo> However the following packages replace it:

[04:13] <yaboo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/429831/
[04:13] <yaboo> is my error
[04:14] <ScottK> yaboo: Would you please pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:14] <yaboo> ok
[04:14] <ScottK> samba exists in Lucid and is certainly a real package.

[04:16] <yaboo> can you send me the missing stuff
[04:16] <ScottK> Yes
[04:16] <ScottK> yaboo: http://paste.debian.net/72496/ add that and then apt-get update
[04:16] <ScottK> You should be able to install it then.
[04:17] <yaboo> thanks, wil do now
[04:19] <yaboo> thanks installs
[04:20] <yaboo> hmm when it installs is there a /etc/init.d/samba, think mine is missing
[04:22] <ScottK> yaboo: You will also want http://paste.debian.net/72497/ in there too.
[04:22] <ScottK> I don't know much about samba, so that's probably all the help I can give you.
[04:23] <yaboo> thanks ScottK
[04:59] <mbt> Hi, is there some reason that upgrading from hardy server to lucid server isn't working?  "sudo do-release-upgrade" says "no new release found" when I run it on an 8.04.3 box
[04:59] <qman__> IIRC, you need to update first
[04:59] <mbt> That's already been done; it's fully up-to-date
[04:59] <qman__> and 8.04.3 is not the latest 8.04
[05:00] <mbt> Oh, sorry, I typed the version wrong; it is 8.04.4
[05:00] <qman__> ok
[05:00] <qman__> in that case, I'm not really sure
[05:00] <qman__> I haven't tried any yet myself
[05:00] <qman__> and I don't know what it uses to determine if there are new releases
[05:00] <mbt> yeah, it's as if lucid wasn't an LTS
[05:00] <qman__> other than running sudo apt-get update to get the latest lists
[05:02] <mbt> Interestingly enough, if I 'sudo do-release-upgrade -d' it finds lucid.  But it shouldn't require the -d, correct?
[05:03] <ScottK> mbt: The recommendation for hardy to lucid upgrades is to wait for 10.04.1, so it's not being offered as a regular upgrade yet.
[05:03] <ScottK> What you are seeing is what is currently correct.
[05:04] <mbt> ScottK: Oh, okay.  I thought the -d was for development
[05:04] <ScottK> It is.
[05:04] <jturek> mbt, you need to edit the "/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades"
[05:04] <ScottK> Continuing to use it this way is overloading it slightly, but it has the right effect.
[05:04] <jturek> and set Prompt=normal
[05:04] <ScottK> jturek: No.  He doesn't.
[05:04] <mbt> Color me confused.  :-)  I will just use the -d switch then.
[05:05] <mbt> Thanks much!
[05:05] <ScottK> mbt: Please be sure to file bugs on any upgrade issues you see.
[05:05] <jturek> if he installed desktop instead of server when he started...
[05:05] <mbt> ScottK: No problem.
[05:06] <jturek> ScottK, sorry, its what I had to do to go from a LTS release to another release
[05:06] <jturek> my release-upgrades file was set to "none"
[05:06] <ScottK> sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[05:08] <yaboo> whats the best ubuntu howto doc to setup a firewall so i call allow machines in the network surf out to the net?
[05:09] <mbt> Anyone know if do-release-upgrade logs all of its output somewhere?
[05:09] <jturek> /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log and /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log
[05:12] <mannyv> if anyone has any idea I am trying to boot a raid1 array in lucid and it keeps failing claiming it cannot find /dev/md0
[05:12] <mannyv> it can find /dev/md1 but not /dev/md0 for some strange reason
[05:23] <yaboo> should i use ufw?
[05:24] <ScottK> yaboo: For a firewall, that's the standard one for Ubuntu.
[05:29] <dominicdinada> lol
[05:30]  * ScottK can't say much more than that.  I've got my own iptables scripts that work for me, but that I wouldn't recommend for anyone else.
[05:30] <dominicdinada> ScottK:  My hostname is listed as blah-trvue0uir   when i check nslookup but I cant seem to find out where it is stored :/ /etc/hostname looks correct
[05:31] <dominicdinada> ScottK: i was laughing if he enabled the firewall on and all of a sudden lost all outbound traffic
[05:31] <ScottK> I'd try sudo grep -r blah-trvue0uir /etc/*
[05:32] <dominicdinada> can I use a wildcard search in for the name because it is blah-   but then random characters maybe I was tired when I wiped this machine the last name
[05:33] <ScottK> Yes.
[05:33] <ScottK> But I need to go check laundry and pack.
[05:33] <dominicdinada> tc/alternatives/gconftool matches
[05:37] <dominicdinada> welcome back yaboo
[05:37] <yaboo> dominicdinada: hoping after this reboot ufw works
[05:38] <dominicdinada> sudo ufw enable ?
[05:38] <dominicdinada> sudo ufw allow http
[05:38] <dominicdinada> etc
[05:38] <yaboo> yep done thats, need to get masquerading done
[05:39] <dominicdinada> Heh it should work! you just gotta configure it right... still learning it myself
[05:43] <dominicdinada> !gconf
[05:48] <yaboo> ok, seems ufw works with masquerade
[06:20] <kaushal> is there a mailing list of ubuntu kernel ?
[06:21] <ScottK> Check lists.ubuntu.com.
[06:26] <yaboo> can't believe samba is bjorked on ubuntu, might compile my own version
[06:44] <mbt> ScottK: My upgrade went okay. The only bumps were on some /etc/init.d things that I customized that don't exist there anymore, so I had to port the changes to the upstart jobs
[06:50] <CaptainTrek> where's the Apache mod_security thing located at?  what package(s)
[07:17] <sherr> CaptainTrek: mod-security appears to be in the repos (for karmic anyway).
[07:23] <yaboo> i don't need to allow samba for samba to work internally

[10:29] <yaboo> ok
[10:29] <dominicdinada> yaboo: the shares are actually easier to set up than I thought
[10:29] <yaboo> dominicdinada: i can setup the shares, but my windows 7 cannot see them
[10:30] <dominicdinada> I am on windows 7 also :) not a problem
[10:30] <dominicdinada> but I used the same user scheme etc... just out of habbit
[10:31] <yaboo> yeah do not know why i cannot win 7 cannot see the shares

[11:04] <Edwin_ach> yeah RoyK, I found a link for 8.04.4 I don't know what is the difference with just 8.04, but anyway, in http://releases.ubuntu.com I found the link for 8.04 server ed. 32 bits :)
[11:04] <Edwin_ach> thank you RoyK ! :)
[11:08] <viezerd> Edwin_ach: updating 8.04 will eventually give you 8.0.4.4
[11:10] <Edwin_ach> dominicdinada, thank you for the link http://releases.ubuntu.com because actually I need the 32bits of 8.04 LTS because I want to proof zimbra as they recommend 8.04 LTS (http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Ubuntu_8.04_LTS_Server_(Hardy_Heron)_Install_Guide)

[11:17] <dominicdinada> yaboo: have you tried to add an exception in the firewall also ? sudo ufw allow sftp

[11:17] <dominicdinada> sudo ufw allow samba ....
[11:18] <yaboo> ufw allow sftp
[11:18] <dominicdinada> well ya u gotta sudo it
[11:18] <dominicdinada> on your server.
[11:19] <dominicdinada> halvors: have you tried reinstalling the packages once again ?
[11:19] <yaboo> hang on allow samba from the outside world
[11:37] <dominicdinada> yaboo:  got it ?
[11:38] <yaboo> dominicdinada: why should i open the samba port on my firewall
[11:38] <yaboo> got what
[11:38] <dominicdinada> to communicate with the share? samba is a file service
[11:38] <yaboo> but those that open samba to the outside world
[11:39] <yaboo> my ubuntu box is my gateway also
[11:39] <dominicdinada> you not behind a rou
[11:39] <yaboo> no
[11:39] <yaboo> my ubuntu is my all in one box
[11:39] <halvors> dominicdinada: I have not reinstalled no, packages. But who will i need to reinstall?
[11:39] <dominicdinada> ahhh i am not the best with the firewall yet but i believe you can add specific exceptions to certain machines
[11:40] <dominicdinada> halvors: well i was wondering because before it was sending but was getting a 5.4.4 error not it wont even try to send
[11:40] <dominicdinada> !iptables | yaboo
[11:41] <twb> Bleh, that page tells people to use -L instead of iptables-save.
[11:43] <dominicdinada> twb: L is to list
[11:43] <dominicdinada> i thought it saves it right away
[11:44] <dominicdinada> yaboo: sudo ufw allow from 192.168.0.4 to any port 22?   <~ an example to allow specific ips on ports
[11:44] <RoyK> 22/tcp
[11:45] <dominicdinada> well ya if you want to be really specific mine is behind routers :) so i get time to harden it
[11:47] <twb> dominicdinada: iptables -L is a single-table, non-machine-readable, lossy output format.
[11:47] <twb> dominicdinada: iptables-save emits a comprehensive dump of all loaded tables, in a format that can be read back in.
[11:47] <dominicdinada> ya it is how to better real it
[11:47] <dominicdinada> oh ok
[11:48] <dominicdinada> default in etc?
[11:48] <twb> Certainly for anything more than trivial -s/-d/--dport, I find it easier to read iptables-save than -L.
[11:49] <dominicdinada> well any how i killed my network a few times today but ahhh well
[12:14] <halvors> No it isnt that i reinstalled an di not get this error now
[12:14] <halvors> so it must be
[12:14] <halvors> musieve
[13:20] <jo-erlend> I need some help. I tried to install qemu-kvm and libvirt-bin, but while it was installing, the system froze. Now, the package is half-installed and I can't install or remove anything. How do I proceed?
[13:29] <RoyK> jo-erlend: dpkg --configure -a ?
[13:30] <jo-erlend> nei, det funker ikke.
[13:30] <jo-erlend> sorry :)
[13:31] <jo-erlend> no, that doesn't work.
[13:31] <jo-erlend> that is to say, it doesn't give me any error messages, but I still can't install or remove anything.
[13:31] <RoyK> apt-get remove --purge xxx && apt-get install xxx ?
[13:32]  * RoyK gir jo-erlend en ny installasjon-cs
[13:32] <RoyK> cd
[13:32] <jo-erlend> that doesn't work either.
[13:32] <RoyK> no error message?
[13:32] <jo-erlend> I refuse to reinstall. There has to be a way to fix it.
[13:32] <jo-erlend> yes
[13:32] <RoyK> apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:32] <RoyK> what does that tell you?
[13:33] <jo-erlend> dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec format error
[13:33] <jo-erlend> among other things.
[13:33] <RoyK> tried strace -f that?
[13:33] <jo-erlend> no...
[13:33] <RoyK> dpkg has some issues with hung packages

[18:51] <Mkools> Hi, I am using tomcat6 can someone tell me what does this means: Attribute name "docBase" associated with an element type "Context" must be followed by the ' = '
[18:55] <Mkools> I am also getting unable to connect with: http://127.0.0.1:8080/
[19:14] <mcas> Mkools: did you edit a config file before this error?
[19:15] <Mkools> mcas: Yes.
[19:15] <mcas> have you changed the docBase path?
[19:22] <Mkools> mcas: Actually I am trying to add a virtual host on it. For that I have created a docBase path. Would you like to review my server.xml
[19:22] <mcas> yes could you pleaase post it to a pastebin service?
[19:24] <Mkools> mcas: Before you review I would like to tell you that I am trying to use dns server( which I have configured with bind9) to use with tomcat6.
[19:25] <mcas> ok
[19:25] <mcas> i hope i can help you ;-)
[19:30] <Mkools> mcas: pastebin is giving me problem it's not pasting the code.
[19:30] <mcas> hmm
[19:30] <mcas> you could try http://pastbin.kubuntu-de.org
[19:32] <Mkools> mcas: It's saying server not found.
[19:32] <mcas> http://pastebin.kubuntu-de.org/new
[19:32] <mcas> sorry my fault
[19:33] <Mkools> http://pastebin.com/4efpK5uh
[19:40] <Mkools> mcas: I am not getting the previous error but I am now getting a warning  No rules found matching 'Server/Service/Engine/Host/Host/Valve'.#0129 May, 2010 12:07:25 AM org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Digester
[19:41] <Mkools> mcas: Do I need to edit /etc/environment for tomcat to work properly.
[19:41] <mcas> Mkools: afaik not
[19:42] <Mkools> mcas: Means what can you elaborate.
[19:42] <mcas> hmm
[19:43] <mcas> do you have any webapps installed?
[19:47] <Mkools> mcas: No I am basically trying to show the starting page of tomcat IT WORKS! typing my domain name on URL
[19:48] <dominicdinada> Yawn :P
[19:48] <Mkools> mcas: Now tomcat is running on 192.168.0.1 which is the ip of my dns.
[19:48] <mcas> Mkools: i do not have much experience with virtual hosts and tomcat but i think you have you have to put it under the </host> of localhost
[19:48] <dominicdinada> !tomcat
[19:49] <dominicdinada> If I plug a usb external hard drive into my server I will have access to it correct? transfering 50 gigs over the network is well time consuming
[19:50] <Mkools> mcas: Can you please tell me what should be the path set for docBase and context element in server.xml?
[19:51] <Mkools> mcas: Basically I am lot more confused about path structure used in tomcat
[19:51] <mcas> Mkools: i would try path="" and docBase="ROOT"
[19:51] <mcas> dominicdinada: yes should work
[19:52] <mcas> dominicdinada: you should first check if you "see" the usb hard drive with dmesg and then mount it manually
[19:52] <dominicdinada> Ok after this 3 gb transfer is done ill give it a shot... then I am gonna break my server for the 4th day in a row :P
[19:52] <dominicdinada> mcas: will do
[19:52] <mcas> dominicdinada: i don't think pluging in an usb hard drive will break your server ;-)
[19:53] <Mkools> mcas: What's your opinion on port, i.e. because dns uses 53 and it is using I think 8080. If I need to edit the port then where do you think the it should be done in server.xml
[19:53] <mcas> Mkools: there should be no problem with ports while running your bind and tomcat on the same host
[19:53] <dominicdinada> mcas: No but when I go to follow through the steps to turn the server into a WIFI-access point well it messes everything up... Alone I cant even get the server to set statically :(
[19:54] <mcas> statically?
[19:54] <dominicdinada> Static ip...
[19:54] <dominicdinada> I set it to what it should be....
[19:54] <mcas> ah ok
[19:55] <Mkools> mcas: If this thing should be run on LAN that is client wants to access IT WORKS using firefox the what editing should be done?
[19:55] <dominicdinada> somewhere I got the saved attempts but i think it was the problem with ebox so i removed ebox and it took everything with it
[19:56] <mcas> Mkools: you have a server "A" where you have a bind and tomcat for your lan.. you set up your clients to use your server "A" as name server
[19:56] <mcas> right?
[19:58] <Mkools> mcas: Which server dns or web? I have a entry for my dns in bind conf files. Which files should be edited on clients?
[19:59] <dominicdinada> it auto mounted correctly
[19:59] <mcas> your tomcat is not running on the same host your bind is running?
[19:59] <mcas> dominicdinada: great
[20:01] <Mkools> mcas: Running on same. But what if it happens.
[20:02] <mcas> so you can access tomcat by ip right?
[20:03] <Mkools> mcas: Now when I type domain name: 8080 I can see my page. But I want to only access it using my domain name.
[20:04] <mcas> ah ok
[20:04] <mcas> only name not ip?
[20:04] <Mkools> mcas: yep
[20:04] <Mkools> mcas: dns will take care of ip
[20:04] <dominicdinada> WTF haha now that this external drive is plugged in the transfers are even slower
[20:05] <mcas> Mkools: now i understand what you want to do ;-)
[20:05] <Mkools> mcas: So what to do?
[20:06] <mcas> let me think about it for a moment
[20:08] <mcas> Mkools: i found a very good howto for you
[20:08] <mcas> http://www.ex-parrot.com/pete/tomcat-vhost.html
[20:09] <Mkools> mcas: Yeah tried that but got confused with the directory structure in it. Can you please tell me what and where to edit.
[20:10] <webroasters> has much been changed between Ubuntu 8.04 and 10.04, in regards to basic server issues?
[20:11] <webroasters> my server is currently 8.04 and i'm thinking of upgrading
[20:12] <mcas> Mkools: which paths?
[20:13] <Mkools> mcas: Where this conf comes from there is no file naming this in /etc/tomcat6
[20:14] <Mkools> sorry not file folder.
[20:14] <mcas> so where is your server.xm located?
[20:15] <Mkools> mcas: it's in /etc/tomcat6
[20:15] <Mkools> What's this $tomcatdir
[20:16] <mcas> where do you have your webapps folder located?
[20:16] <dominicdinada> ok 512kbs via usb or 1.4mb via network... dam it i guess server doesnt come with usb 2.0 drivers
[20:17] <\sh> tomcat6 webapps folder in a standard setup of ubuntu should be /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
[20:17] <mcas> thanks \sh
[20:17] <mcas> so Mkools $tomcatdir should be /var/lib/tomcat6
[20:18] <Mkools> mcas: webapps in /usr/share/tomcat6
[20:18] <mcas> ok than this is your tomcatdir
[20:19] <Mkools> mcas: Then how to remove this extra :8080 in the URL
[20:20] <Mkools> mcas: Because I thing rest of the things have been done.
[20:21] <\sh> Mkools, you want to use tomcat as webserver? you can just get rid of the port 8080 when you remove the port number and change it to 80 in the web connector in server.xml
[20:21] <\sh> but then you need to start tomcat6 as root, which is bad
[20:22] <\sh> therefore you should think about using apache2 + mod_jk and using ajp3 connector on tomcat6 side
[20:22] <mcas> you can use iptables and portforwarding
[20:22] <Mkools> mcas: More about it. Links?
[20:23] <mcas> http://www.klawitter.de/tomcat80.html
[20:24] <Mkools> mcas: Is it the only solution besides that of apache.
[20:25] <\sh> Mkools, you can use tomcat6 as standalone webserver, but it's not recommended, because of speed, and security
[20:25] <\sh> apache is the better way..
[20:25] <\sh> and much better to scale
[20:25] <mcas> \sh what about running apache as a reverse proxy for tomcat? could this be a solution?
[20:26] <Mkools> \sh: Ok thanks but I am really running out of time.
[20:26] <mcas> i think you have more experience with tomcat ;-)
[20:26] <\sh> mcas, yes, but then you have a one to one connection to your tomcat...which is the same as running it as standalone
[20:26] <\sh> using mod_jk gives you NxAJP channels which performs much better
[20:26] <mcas> ok
[20:27] <\sh> mcas, on one apache that is...(you could use lighty as well woth a ajp modul)
[20:27] <Mkools> mcas: \sh: thanks for your help I will talk to you later can you give me your appointments on the IRC. Because I live in India.
[20:28] <\sh> mcas, oh well...I'm not an expert...but we are running 4 frontend apaches and behind them are 30 tomcats :) and the apaches are not the bottleneck ;)
[20:28] <Mkools> The people in US have time zone problems.
[20:28] <Mkools> \sh: great :)
[20:28] <\sh> Mkools, I'm on german time..but from tomorrow on I'm at the UDS in brussels so I don't think I have so much time to lurk ;)
[20:28] <dominicdinada> Mkools: Time Zone problems ?
[20:29] <mcas> Mkools: i am from german timezone too
[20:29]  * \sh should write something on his blog about apache + tomcat scaling ...
[20:30] <mcas> \sh would be great to read about it ;-)
[20:30] <Mkools> \sh: Can you provide me the URL?
[20:31] <Mkools> for your blog.
[20:31] <\sh> Mkools, http://shermann.name/ but when I write something it will be aggregated on planet.ubuntu.com as well...so have a look there first ;)
[20:32] <\sh> so...I need to go to bed tomorrow is a  long travelling day..
[20:33] <Mkools> mcas: \sh: Thanks so much for your time and support :)
[20:33] <mcas> Mkools: yw
[20:33] <mcas> \sh have fun at uds and good journey
[20:34] <\sh> mcas, thx :)
[20:48] <RoyK> in zfs there is a zero intent log (zil) that can be placed on an SSD to speed up things - does ext[234] have something like this?
[20:51] <penguin42> RoyK: You can put the journal from ext* on a separate device
[20:51] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland, ping?
[20:52] <RoyK> penguin42: is that similar to the zil? as in - things are written there first and then flushed?
[20:52] <penguin42> RoyK: I think so, but I don't know much about the zil
[20:53] <RoyK> are data written to the ext[34] journal and then flushed?
[20:56] <mcas> RoyK: i cannot tell you the exact function of ext[34] but puttin the journal on a different device speeds things up
[21:05] <RoyK> too bad btrfs is (still) late
[21:05] <RoyK> it'd be nice to run linux on some high-volume boxes here, but now we're on osol for them
[21:08] <_Trullo> just added 2 drives to my server, do I have to add them to fstab to get them mount each time I start the server?
[21:08] <JanC> RoyK: does it write to the disk in a location mapped as belonging to the journal and when it succeeds, moves that location to the main diskspace?
[21:08] <penguin42> _Trullo: Probably
[21:08] <mcas> _Trullo: yes
[21:09] <_Trullo> ok
[21:09] <RoyK> JanC: zfs zil?
[21:09] <JanC> RoyK: yeah, trying to understand what it does?  ;)
[21:10] <JanC> IIRC some FreeBSD filesystem supports that
[21:10] <RoyK> zfs on freebsd, yes
[21:10] <JanC> I mean, not ZFS
[21:11] <JanC> just trying to understand what functionality exactly you're talking about...
[21:14] <JanC> http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Evil_Tuning_Guide#Disabling_the_ZIL_.28Don.27t.29 --> this?
[21:14] <RoyK> that's the ZIL
[21:15] <RoyK> it'd be nice if Oracle went bankrupt and gave away their code
[21:15] <RoyK> about as likely as a meteor striking
[21:16] <JanC> if I understand correctly it's a written log of operations that might take some time to finish, so that if there is a power down before they finish, the kernel/fs can finish them after a reboot, or something like that?
[21:16] <penguin42> sounds pretty similar to the ext journal to me
[21:16] <RoyK> like a database log
[21:16] <RoyK> very much like it
[21:17] <JanC> penguin42: it's a bit more than ext journal I think
[21:17] <RoyK> except ext3 doesn't deal with checksumming and raid and dedup and so on
[21:17] <JanC> but I might be wrong  ;)
[21:17] <penguin42> RoyK: Yeh the responsibilities are split on linux where as zfs mushes them altogether a bit
[21:17] <RoyK> JanC: I think you might be quite right
[21:18] <JanC> RoyK: from what I understand ZFS dedup isn't exactly scientifically sound ;)
[21:18] <RoyK> penguin42: yeah, and with them all "mused" together, consitency is quite easy
[21:19] <RoyK> JanC: it's ok so for you have tons of memory and l2arc and nothing bad happens
[21:19] <RoyK> say 4GB plus 1GB per 1TB storage plus a little more - then add l2arc SSD devices and som Zil SSD devices
[21:20] <RoyK> but if you're doing a 100TiB setup, it's quite nice
[21:20] <ibrandt> Greetings all.  I'm new to Ubuntu and EC2 (but not Linux otherwise).  If I launch one of the server AMIs, install, configure and use some apps (e.g. a database), and then shut down is all data lost, or do the AMIs mount certain paths from the EBS?  I'm trying to understand if I should read up on deriving new AMIs and reconfiguring mount points to EBS before I take my firs
[21:20] <ibrandt> at the cloud.  Thanks to any takers.
[21:20] <RoyK> that is, unless you try to remove a 10TiB dataset and the server reboots. Then it'll probably hang until it's finished the removal of that dataset
[21:21] <jherrlin> hi folks!
[21:21] <RoyK> hi nerds!
[21:22] <viezerd> I like zfs
[21:22] <jherrlin> i have a little question, i have an Apple OSX 10.6 server, with FTP
[21:22] <jherrlin> and a ubuntu server
[21:23] <RoyK> viezerd: we have a couple of 30TB osol boxes with it
[21:23] <RoyK> works like a charm
[21:23] <jherrlin> i whant to connect to my OSX FTP and have the possebilety to find my ubuntu shared folder from that ftp
[21:23] <jherrlin> any ideas?
[21:24] <RoyK> it's just ftp
[21:24] <RoyK> should work well
[21:24] <jherrlin> but how RoyK?
[21:24] <viezerd> RoyK: nice :)
[21:24] <erichammond> ibrandt: Start with EBS boot AMIs and your root file system will be stored on an EBS volume.  This volume persists through stop/start, but by default will be destroyed if you "terminate" the EC2 instance.  You can read more here: http://ec2-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/BootFromEBSGSGGuide.pdf
[21:24] <RoyK> jherrlin: ncftp -u user ip.of.the.box
[21:25] <jherrlin> mount my AFP shares from the Ubuntu server to my OSX server and then share them on the OSX FTP?
[21:25]  * erichammond steps out
[21:25] <RoyK> viezerd: we might get another 20TB for those and another dual 130TB setup for backup :þ
[21:25] <viezerd> :D
[21:25] <scar> i configured the disks on my server as AHCI, then installed ubuntu. now after it has rebooted, the BIOS is stuck on 'detecting SATA channel 0'.  i can't enter the BIOS because it's stuck on this....
[21:26] <RoyK> viezerd: with supermicro hardware, it's really not very expensive
[21:26] <scar> if i unplug the drives and reboot, then i can get into the BIOS... when i put them back to "IDE" it will detect the disks again... wtf?
[21:27] <penguin42> scar: Sounds like a bios bug
[21:27] <RoyK> scar: seems like a bad bios to me
[21:27] <scar> the thing is, i have another server of the exact same type with same BIOS version and it's been working just fine with AHCI
[21:27] <RoyK> same ubuntu version?
[21:27] <scar> yeah both with 10.04
[21:28] <RoyK> anyway - it's not really an ubuntu question, since linux never gets booted
[21:28] <penguin42> still say it sounds like a bad bios
[21:28] <scar> so do i try to reflash the BIOS?
[21:28] <JanC> scar: same BIOS version?
[21:28] <scar> JanC, yeah
[21:29] <penguin42> I doubt that will help
[21:31] <RoyK> it's worth a try
[21:31] <RoyK> since it never reaches grub, something must be fscked up in the BIOS
[21:32] <penguin42> scar: My guess is the bios isn't clearing some state out on the hardware on reboot and is confused by the state ubuntu has left it in
[21:33] <RoyK> penguin42: aren't those supposed to be reset on reboot?
[21:33] <RoyK> or at least a powerdown?
[21:33] <penguin42> RoyK: They *should* be reset on reboot
[21:33] <RoyK> not stored in nvram?
[21:34] <RoyK> scar: have you tried to power down the system and let it rest for a minute or two?
[21:34] <penguin42> RoyK: Well it should reset the hardware to a decent state before probing
[21:35] <scar> penguin42, i tried using 'load failsafe defaults' as well as 'load optimal defaults' it will work when in IDE mode but when i put it back to AHCI it still is stuck on detecting SATA channel 0
[21:35] <RoyK> if the firmware isn't buggy :þ
[21:35] <scar> RoyK, no... maybe i did for about 30 seconds
[21:35] <penguin42> oh so you've tried unplugging - very odd
[21:36] <viezerd> RoyK: those Supermicros quality , same as , lets say HP Proliants ?
[21:36] <penguin42> viezerd: The chassis on the supermicros tend to bend a bit on some of the models :-) But what's inside tends to be pretty good
[21:37] <viezerd> cool
[21:38] <RoyK> viezerd: can't complain
[21:38] <RoyK> it works
[21:38] <RoyK> probably made in the same asian factyory :þ
[21:38] <RoyK> 35-drive hotplug 4U server is nice
[21:39] <JanC> I have a SuperMicro workstation motherboard  ;)
[21:40]  * scar tries clearing the CMOS according to the Service Manual
[21:40] <halvors> I get this error in my mail log, and how can i fix it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/430202/
[21:40] <RoyK> viezerd: we have a bunch of HP stuff too - can't really compare with it - it all works, just as supermicro
[21:41] <penguin42> RoyK: How the heck do you get 35 drives in 4u?
[21:41] <RoyK> 24 in the front and some in the back
[21:41] <viezerd> so then the price makes the difference :)
[21:42] <RoyK> viezerd: yes, that's why we've bought a bunch of supermicro stuff lately :D
[21:42] <viezerd> I got a dual P3, 1266 mhz proliant G2 , needs to be replaced someday :P
[21:42] <halvors> ??? ;)
[21:42] <RoyK> G2 is P4, right?
[21:42] <penguin42> RoyK: Oh, the back - neat
[21:43] <viezerd> P3
[21:43] <viezerd> G3 is P4
[21:43] <RoyK> I'm quite sure I have a G2 DL320 with P4
[21:43] <RoyK> no, I'm certain
[21:44] <viezerd> RoyK: http://edsel.nu/sysinfo/
[21:44] <viezerd> its a DL 380
[21:45] <JanC> same socket?
[21:45] <RoyK> perhaps the DL380 hung back
[21:45] <RoyK> DL320 is entry level stuff
[21:46] <viezerd> could be, after all,its been working for years :)
[21:46] <viezerd> but, its getting really old now
[21:47] <RoyK> supermicro has a neat 1U box with 4 x 12core Athlons supporting half a terabyte of RAM - I guess that box could replace most of our servers :D
[21:51] <viezerd> couple years ago only dreams existed of having haf a terrabyte lol
[21:51] <JanC> viezerd: depending on your budget...
[21:54] <scar> huh... i removed the battery for 30+ seconds... but the CMOS didn't get cleared
[21:59] <fbc-mx> hi somehow I have thousands of cron instances... How do I kill'em all (metallica style)
[22:00] <efleming969> fbc-mx: have you looked at the killall command?
[22:01] <fbc-mx> efleming969, I didn't know one existed
[22:01] <viezerd> thats through JanC, with enough money :
[22:01] <viezerd> :)
[22:02] <JanC> viezerd: ?
[22:02] <scar> damn proprietary vendors. i can't download a BIOS update for this server without a Sun contract
[22:02] <fbc-mx> efleming969, yup that did it...
[22:04] <fbc-mx> efleming969, I had some command in my crontab for moodle that was spawning zombie cron jobs.
[22:04] <ibrandt> erichammond: Thanks for the EBS boot AMI pointer and link.  That's got me finding a lot of great info from your alestic.com site and elsewhere.
[22:12] <viezerd> JanC: nevermind :) , what I meant to say was about the price of hardware, like 10 years ago you had to be a millionair to have the same hardware as now
[22:35] <scar> at least the Sun/Oracle forums are free to access
[22:38] <RoyK> it'd be nice if zfs was GPLed
[22:38]  * ziesemer_ agrees!
[22:39] <RoyK> I have a coule of 30TB osol boxes and it would be very nice to run them on linux
[22:39] <ziesemer_> I guess there is work to make ZFS available through FUSE - but I'm not sure what all the implications of that are - including performance.
[22:40] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: hi
[22:40] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: ashes?
[22:41] <RoyK> ziesemer_:  performance issues and no newer zfs versions
[22:43] <ZachK_> Ah hello?
[22:43] <penguin42> ziesemer_: I thought it already was wired up to fuse by someone
[22:44] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland, ashes
[22:44] <RoAkSoAx> indeed
[22:44] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: bummer dude
[22:44] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland, im scheduled to arrive on tuesday morning though
[22:44] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: okay, better than nothing
[22:44] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/05/08/important-ash-cloud-travel-problems-and-uds/
[22:45] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland, yeah been through that... we've been trying to get a flight for tomorrow is all packed!!
[22:45] <RoyK> ah - Eyjafjallajökull
[22:45] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: here's to hoping you make it, dude
[22:47] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland, i do hope so to!! I could have changed to other flights departing today though.. btu the counter at the airport messed up real bad and didn't tell us that there there were other flights available (through different airports) and when we came to see online, we tried to call every apparent avaiable flight but everything got packed
[22:52] <cemc> is there a problem with dovecot in Lucid?
[22:53] <cemc> I just tried to install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d, and I'm getting an error, hostname: name or service not known, or something like that
[22:57] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland, btw.. I'll probably request the change of the TestDrive session to another day since I'll prolly get there pretty tired on tuesday
[23:39] <dominicdinada> Is there a known bug for lucid gnome crashing while file transfer ?? Or basically doing anything it has happened 8-10 times since I have installed and when it crashes I lose the Minamize,Maximize,Close the whole window controls
[23:39] <dominicdinada>  plus Any window that is not in focus is not listed on the taskbar only all the windows from when the desktop crashed... even when a system monitor kill the process
