[00:53] <trimeta> Are there any known issues with upgrading a server from Karmic to Lucid?
[00:54] <trimeta> I'm less worried about GUI changes than I am about my Apache still working, that sort of thing.
[01:15] <scar> what could be wrong with my server where the hdd's are not detected (bios just waits and waits) in AHCI mode but they are in IDE mode?  and just yesterday, before installing ubuntu, they were detected in AHCI mode?
[02:03] <borden> hi , I've just installed phpmyadmin but it still throws the same mysql error which has existed since the release candidates , there already is a bug report on launchpad and its status is "won't fix" here is the link : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/566736 , so what are we supposed to do now ?
[04:12] <enav> hi people i got a problem using ubuntu server edition... i cant make ebox run propertly... can i have some help here???
[04:36] <enav>  hi people i got a problem using ubuntu server edition... i cant make ebox run propertly... can i have some help here???
[05:17] <_Snark> So. I don't suppose anyone has any advice on installing 10.04 on an ion n330 platform with fakeraid?
[05:17] <_Snark> aside from don't..
[05:21] <jturek> Snark, actually i have seen a few people make DIY NAS with fakeraid using the small form factor N330
[05:22] <jturek> Snark, not going to say you could use all your data though <grin>
[05:23] <echosystm> ok dudes
[05:23] <echosystm> how do i get the ssh client to disconnect?
[05:23] <echosystm> ive uncommented escapechar in /etc/ssh/ssh_config
[05:24] <echosystm> but when i do ~~. it stil doesnt work
[05:24] <echosystm> what is this madness?
[05:30] <jturek> try ~? to see if you get a list of options
[05:30] <jturek> ~. should be the same as the telnet CTRL-]
[05:31] <jturek> if you set your Escape Char to ~
[05:35] <echosystm> doesnt work jturek
[05:35] <echosystm> :/
[05:36] <echosystm> just to clarify
[05:36] <echosystm> hold shift, press `, press /, release shift ?
[05:36] <enav> hi people i got a problem using ubuntu server edition... i cant make ebox run propertly... can i have some help here???
[05:39] <jturek> echosystm: http://www.void.gr/kargig/blog/2006/01/24/ssh-escape-characters/ has a quick run down
[05:44] <jturek> 1
[05:45] <scar> jturek, why not be able to use all the data?
[05:47] <scar> echosystm, it has to be done on a new line i think, so push enter first, shift+`, release shift, then period
[06:27] <_Snark> [14:20] <jturek> Snark, actually i have seen a few people make DIY NAS with fakeraid using the small form factor N330
[06:27] <_Snark> ^^ wish i could talk to them then
[06:28] <_Snark> 10.04 has the fakeraid bug on this hardware
[06:28] <_Snark> after some messing about i can get the installer to complete, but grub is still stuffed.
[06:37] <owen1> after i upgraded to lucid, i can't login. i see a wallpaper, the mouse is responding, keyboard is not and no login screen shows up. i can, however ssh to my machine. any tips?
[08:16] <MrPancake> What's the "ubuntu approved" way to disable a service from starting on boot?
[08:17] <RoyK> rm /etc/init.d/Sxxnameofservice
[08:17] <Jeeves_> You can usually set some parameter in /etc/default/
[08:17] <RoyK> erm
[08:17] <RoyK> no, rc2.d
[08:17] <RoyK> not init.d
[08:17] <Jeeves_> RoyK: I can not imagine that that's the 'ubuntu approved' way
[08:17] <RoyK> but I don't know if that is 'approved'
[08:17] <RoyK> works, though
[08:18] <RoyK> that's why you have symlinks in rc2.d starting with S for start...
[09:51] <stanman246> hi in here, i've got me a broken raid5 (4 disks, one broken). Made a backup of the disks and removed the faulty disk. mdadm --detail --scan shows me I've got an array on /dev/md0. I can't mount it though, getting a : structure needs cleaning as a result of the mount attempt. What could I do?
[09:56] <Pirate_Hunter> hi i've got backed up files on a server which are backed up as .tgz is there a way for me to explore inside the .tgz file and extract the folder I want?, if there is can someone provide the commands, thanks
[10:04] <stanman246> do you use a ubuntu desktop?
[10:05] <alvin> I upgraded a Karmic server with dovecot-postfix to Lucid and now mail users can't log in anymore. Where can I find dovecot-postfix.conf (that file seems to be gone)
[10:18] <hallyn> (i notice there is no blueprint for https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Specs/LXCSupportInEucalyptus )
[10:24] <alvin> I found files in /etc/dovecot/conf.d. Are these autogenerated, or can I change them back to the right settings?
[10:29] <ivoks> hi
[10:29] <ivoks> alvin: what's the problem?
[10:29] <ivoks> oh, i see
[10:29] <alvin> ivoks: Hi. Well, i'm not finding where to change stuff
[10:29] <ivoks> well, dovecot's config changed a lot
[10:29] <alvin> Most of the settings are changed
[10:30] <ivoks> some of the attributes that existed before do not exists any more
[10:30] <alvin> Oh? Is there any documentation?
[10:30] <ivoks> on upgrade, if you didn't change anything in dovecot-postfix config
[10:30] <ivoks> postinstall will just install new version of config
[10:30] <alvin> I'm now comparing the old config file to the files in conf.d and auth.d
[10:31] <ivoks> do you know what you have changed in karmic's dovecot-postfix.conf?
[10:31] <ivoks> just a second...
[10:31] <alvin> Yes, I have a copy and used dovecot -n c <originalfile>
[10:36] <_ruben> !info quagga
[10:37] <alvin> Ouch, first_valid_uid is not valid anymore :-(
[10:37] <ivoks> i'm back
[10:37] <ivoks> when you start dovecot, it will complain what's wrong
[10:39] <alvin> Yes, it does. Problem is. I used a user 'mail' with uid 8 and dovecot no longer accepts first_valid_uid
[10:39] <alvin> Error: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/auth.d/01-dovecot-postfix.auth line 2: Unknown setting: first_valid_uid
[10:39] <ivoks> alvin: if you want custom changes, my advice would be to create additional config file in conf.d
[10:39] <alvin> So, I shouldn't change 01-dovecot-postfix.conf
[10:40] <ivoks> that's the only file in conf.d?
[10:40] <alvin> I just wantd to keep my configuration from karmic, but that is destroyed
[10:40] <alvin> yes
[10:40] <alvin> well, there's also 01-dovecot-postfix.conf.dpkg-old (because of the upgrade)
[10:40] <ivoks> it's not; it's in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.old or something like that
[10:41] <ivoks> isn't it?
[10:41] <alvin> There is no file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix*
[10:42] <alvin> I do have a backup of that file, but the originl was deleted on upgrade
[10:42] <ivoks> it was merged in 01-dovecot-postfix.conf
[10:42] <ivoks> that's basicaly, your config
[10:42] <alvin> and changed I see
[10:42] <ivoks> changed?
[10:43] <alvin> maybe the first_valid_uid should go into that file. I have put it in auth
[10:43] <alvin> Yes, almost all settings I had were changed
[10:43] <ivoks> it isn't it just split it into two files
[10:43] <alvin> location of maildir, authentication, protocols,... everything
[10:43] <ivoks> ok, let's start over
[10:43] <ivoks> in karmic, you installed dovecot-postfix, right?
[10:43] <alvin> yes
[10:44] <ivoks> then you changed /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf?
[10:44] <alvin> yes
[10:44] <ivoks> then you upgraded to lucid
[10:44] <alvin> also yes
[10:44] <ivoks> as an author of dovecot-postfix
[10:44] <ivoks> postinstal script should've split your custom dovecot-postfix.conf into two files
[10:44] <ivoks> one is conf.d/01-dovecot-postfix.conf
[10:45] <ivoks> and the other is auth.d/01-dovecot-postfix.auth
[10:45] <alvin> Is there a way to run that postinstall script on a custom file? (my original dovecot-postfix.conf)
[10:45] <ivoks> then it offered you a diff/merge options for both of those files
[10:45] <alvin> I do have those files, but the contents are not the same as the original dovecot-postfix.conf
[10:45] <ivoks> correct?
[10:45] <alvin> it didn't. It offered me to diff/merge dovecot.conf
[10:46] <alvin> because that file wasn't used, I let the upgrade overwrite the file
[10:46] <ivoks> so there's nothing except 01-dovecot-postfix.conf in conf.d?
[10:46] <ivoks> not even .old?
[10:46] <alvin> that's the only question I got during upgrade
[10:46] <alvin> Only 01-dovecot-postfix.conf and 01-dovecot-postfix.conf.dpkg-old
[10:47] <ivoks> so, there is dpkg-old
[10:47] <ivoks> that's your old config
[10:47] <alvin> yes
[10:47] <alvin> is it safe to use?
[10:47] <ivoks> that file gets created when you overwrite your old conffile with a new one
[10:47] <ivoks> don't use it, adopt it
[10:48] <alvin> Very well. I'll do that. I'll let you know how it ends
[10:48] <ivoks> rename it to 02-something.conf
[10:48] <ivoks> and keep in it only stuff that's different from 01-dovecot-postfix.conf
[10:49] <alvin> Ah, so 02 overwrites the settings in 01?
[10:49] <alvin> So I shouldn't change 01?
[10:50] <ivoks> correct
[10:50] <ivoks> and keep only custom stuff in it
[10:50] <alvin> Will do.
[10:50] <ivoks> notice that authentication part moved to auth.d
[10:51] <alvin> Yes, I saw
[10:51] <ivoks> i'll be online whole day
[10:51] <ivoks> so if you have any problems, let me know
[10:51] <alvin> Thank you. I will :-)
[10:51] <ivoks> if i'm not here, wait couple of minutes, i'll come back :)
[10:51] <ivoks> like now :)
[10:52] <ivoks> brb
[11:10] <siya> moing
[11:10] <siya> -g
[11:11] <siya> I have an issue with a server of mine after doing a do-release-upgrade to lucid. console-setup doesn't install and as such I'm now in limbo land... dpkg just hangs and postinst
[11:11] <ivoks> hmm
[11:11] <siya> http://pastebin.com/qEzf8aPH
[11:11] <ivoks> that happend to me once
[11:12] <siya> tried to force remove console-setup
[11:12] <ivoks> i killed postinst script
[11:12] <siya> then purge it using aptitude
[11:12] <siya> ivoks, yeah have to
[11:12] <ivoks> but, the funny thing is...
[11:13] <siya> which then suggest console-setup-mini as an alternative. Which didn't install propperly either
[11:13] <ivoks> when i did dist-upgrade again, it worked :)
[11:13] <ivoks> or was it dpkg --configure -a
[11:13] <_ruben> hmm .. just had my first failed karmic-lucid upgrade .. upgrade seemed to go just fine, just not coming up after reboot, not sure when i'll be at the datacenter again :/
[11:13] <siya> ivoks, dpkg --configure -a get's me stuck at the same place
[11:13] <ivoks> _ruben: ilo, ilo
[11:14] <Jeeves_> siya: 'exit 0' helped me a couple of times in a postinst
[11:14] <siya> _ruben, had that going from 9.04 to 9.10 (same box sadly)
[11:14] <Jeeves_> Kindof depends on the actions done in a postinst if it's possible
[11:14] <_ruben> ivoks: forgot to config .. then again, it only got bmc, no full ilo/drac/whatever
[11:14] <_ruben> just a test box, so not big a deal
[11:21] <siya> ivoks, my system thinks it's on 10.04 already so dist-upgrade doesn't do much for me
[11:22] <ivoks> siya: dist-upgrade updates to latest packages from distro
[11:22] <ivoks> siya: so if it says that there's no thing to update, then you are up to date :)
[11:22] <siya> it complains about console-setup being missing or broken
[11:23] <siya> then stops
[11:23] <ivoks> sudo apt-get --reinstall install console-setup
[11:23] <siya> halts in the same place
[11:23] <siya> post install
[11:23] <siya> see http://pastebin.com/qEzf8aPH
[11:26] <ivoks> that's not output :)
[11:26] <ivoks> sudo DEBCONF_DEBUG="developer" apt-get --reinstall install console-setup
[11:29] <siya> hehe
[11:30] <siya> riiiight, I should've piped that output to a file...
[11:32] <siya> ivoks, does the last bit help or do you need the whole thing? http://pastebin.com/1HdJqZcg
[11:33] <ivoks> this is where it stops?
[11:33] <siya> yup
[11:33] <siya> just sits there
[11:33] <siya> have to kill the process(es)
[11:33] <ivoks> hm
[11:34] <ivoks>     db_get console-setup/optionscode
[11:34] <ivoks>     options="$RET"
[11:34] <ivoks> looks ok
[11:36] <ivoks> could you open /var/lib/dpkg/info/console-setup.postinst
[11:36] <ivoks> go to line 70
[11:36] <ivoks> comment out from 70 to 76
[11:37] <ivoks> and add echo "TEST" to 77 :)
[11:37] <ivoks> then run sudo DEBCONF_DEBUG="developer" dpkg --configure -a
[11:38] <siya> file edited
[11:39] <siya> same but now with TEST after it
[11:39] <siya> so it halts after that section
[11:39] <ivoks> ok
[11:39] <ivoks> now add echo "TEST2" to line 84
[11:40] <ivoks> test3 to 86
[11:40] <ivoks> and test4 to 92
[11:41] <siya> goes through to test4
[11:41] <ivoks> and test4?
[11:42] <ivoks> oh
[11:42] <siya> shows up fine
[11:42] <ivoks> it fails on line 131
[11:42] <ivoks>     setupcon --save-only
[11:42] <siya> I recall seeying that in ps ax
[11:43] <ivoks> try running it by hand
[11:43] <ivoks> sudo setupcon --save-only
[11:43] <siya> same result (before editing it, that is)
[11:43] <siya> ahh that
[11:43] <siya> works fine
[11:43] <siya> no idea what it does tho
[11:44] <philsturgeon> hey guys, how can I enable ZLib on PHP?
[11:45] <philsturgeon> running apache2, PHP 5.2 and Ubuntu 10.04
[11:45] <ivoks> siya: hm
[11:45] <ivoks> siya: type plymouth
[11:45] <ivoks> philsturgeon: it's already enabled
[11:46] <siya> ivoks, plymouth is hashed (/bin/plymouth)
[11:46] <ivoks> siya: bashed?
[11:46] <ivoks> siya: that's the output of 'type plymouth'?
[11:46] <ivoks> hased
[11:46] <siya> yes, from bash
[11:46] <ivoks> argh...
[11:46] <philsturgeon> ivoks: ahh, i've got a script that runs and extracts a ZIP via ZLib and its erroring with a white-page of doom. first time running this script on this environment. i am using error_reporting(E_ALL), any idea what else could stop errors from displaying?
[11:47] <siya> ivoks, :)
[11:47] <ivoks> philsturgeon: set up php to put errors into file
[11:48] <ivoks> siya: no clue... try rebooting :)
[11:48] <siya> ivoks, tx for the help. Learned a lot!
[11:48] <ivoks> siya: iirc, --configure for me worked after reboot
[11:49] <siya> ivoks, will keep it in mind
[11:49] <siya> :)
[11:49] <ivoks> siya: cause the problems seems related to plymouth
[11:49] <philsturgeon> ivoks, it's a dev box, id like to see errors. it was an undefined function, but i should have seen that!
[11:50] <ivoks> maybe diplaying errors is disabled?
[11:51] <siya> ivoks, ooh... http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg2201467.html << I had mount errors... :s
[11:51]  * clintb shakes off 16 hours of travelling and enjoys the conf file discussion from the back wall.. :)
[11:52] <ivoks> siya: sudo apt-get --reinstall install plymouth
[11:52] <ivoks> ? :)

[11:52] <RickyWh> how do I locate my apache2 config file?
[11:53] <ivoks> RickyWh: /etc/apache2 is config dif
[11:53] <ivoks> RickyWh: there's conf.d for general configuration
[11:54] <ivoks> RickyWh: and sites-enabled for per-site configs
[11:54] <ivoks> RickyWh: both override config from apache2.conf
[11:54] <RickyWh> ahh, nm, i found it
[11:55] <RickyWh> i was looking for the vhosts file but it's called 000-default
[11:59] <RickyWh> why is it that whenever i go to edit a file with vim, when I save I get an error message. Can't open file for writing
[12:00] <ivoks> you are not root
[12:00] <dominicdinada> quick question guys, with mysql if I am specifing the host a user is allowed from can I use multiple hosts? ie ? 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2  ..... etc
[12:00] <ivoks> yes
[12:00] <ivoks> 192.168.0.%
[12:00] <dominicdinada> ok :P
[12:02] <RickyWh> i cannot login as root because it tells me to login as ubuntu user instead
[12:03] <dominicdinada> RickyWh: you can take root privilages if you were the first user.....
[12:04] <RickyWh> yes i was
[12:04] <RickyWh> well, actually, i'm using one of the amazon ec2 images
[12:05] <RickyWh> http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/release/
[12:06] <dominicdinada> and you cant sudo ?
[12:09] <dominicdinada> Hmmm cant log into remotly to mysql what the hail........
[12:09] <RickyWh> ya i can sudo, but it seems like alot of typing to add sudo before vim
[12:11] <dominicdinada> RickyWh: So I guess security is not a primary concern for you then... there are howto's to circumvent the constant request for escalating privalages... just google it
[12:11] <RickyWh> well, i first did a sudo passwd root, then set a root password and then did a su root
[12:11] <RickyWh> it worked
[12:13] <dominicdinada> ?
[12:18] <dominicdinada> RickyWh:  ??? Did you get it ?
[12:53] <stephank> Hello! Having some trouble installing 10.04 on a Dell PowerEdge SC1425. I created a RAID-1 in the BIOS disk utility, but the installer doesn't seem to detect it. The error I see is: “ERROR: ddf1: wrong # of devices in RAID set "ddf1_4035305a8680df242020202020202020b1c464013a354a45" [1/2] on /dev/sda”
[12:55] <stephank> not sure if this is helpful, some dmraid output: http://privatepaste.com/8021bffaf2
[12:59] <pmatulis> stephank: raid controller model?
[13:05] <_ruben> sc1425 most likely doesnt have hardware raid, so using software raid (mdadm) would be your best bet
[13:17] <smoser> http://ubuntu-smoser.blogspot.com/ . That is me begging for users of ubuntu server to join UDS
[13:17] <smoser> remote participation.
[13:18] <halvors> I cant connect send email with my server from ThunderBird here is a images: http://halvors.skymia.net/errorsmtp.png
[13:19] <pmatulis> halvors: looks like your password is no good
[13:23] <Jeeves_> smoser: Hmm. Too much Cloud and Enterprise :)
[13:23] <halvors> it is not that
[13:23] <smoser> Jeeves_, there are lots of sessions. even other than server
[13:24] <halvors> it must be some other and i get no errors in logs
[13:24] <halvors> sorry for norwegian error?
[13:24] <halvors> ;(
[13:25] <Jeeves_> smoser: I know. But my main interest is the server part.
[13:25] <Jeeves_> I see an interesting session about server boot and upstart. But I'm on the road than. :(
[13:26] <stephank> pmatulis: I don't think it's a hardware RAID controller. It's software RAID on top of a CERC SATA 2S controller. (hence dmraid)
[13:27] <_ruben> stephank: i'd go with plain mdadm software raid then .. dmraid is evil :)
[13:27] <_ruben> i'd only ever touch dmraid if it was for dual boot machine with windows
[13:28] <stephank> hmm, reading up on that now
[13:29] <_ruben> stephank: set the controller to sata instead of raid in the bios, configure software raid in the ubuntu installer
[13:31] <Italian_Plumber> is there a way to tell the sytem not to do a filesystem check on a drive at startup?  Do I just not mount the drive?
[13:32] <stephank> _ruben: well, let's give it a shot. Thanks for the pointers. :)
[13:41] <_ruben> Italian_Plumber: its controlled by /etc/fstab, one of the last 2 columns
[13:43] <Italian_Plumber> ... so, if I don't mount the drive, it won't check it?
[13:44] <_ruben> sure, but you can mount without checking as well
[13:45] <Italian_Plumber> gotcha.  Thanks!
[13:46] <stephank> I'm confused, software RAID works at the partition level rather than the disk level?
[13:49] <refnumzx> using kvm on lynx. the --firstboot bug was fixed a couple of days ago but i don't see it in the apt repository.  how do i get this?
[14:07] <ttx> kirkland: join ebene ?
[14:10] <bogeyd6> can bind9 use a SPF record type instead of TXT?
[14:12] <pmatulis> refnumzx: kvm on lynx?
[14:13] <pmatulis> refnumzx: ah ok, lucid
[14:14] <refnumzx> right. and kvm being a virtualization. i suppose to be more accurage vmbuilder is wht i am having problems with
[14:14] <pmatulis> refnumzx: bug #?
[14:14] <refnumzx> wow for typos. sorry
[14:15] <refnumzx> yup. a fix was submited. i just want to know how to apply it to the installation
[14:15] <pmatulis> refnumzx: bug #?
[14:18] <refnumzx> pmatulis: #536942
[14:21] <pmatulis> refnumzx: so you want to import the upstream fix into lucid?
[14:21] <refnumzx> i do.
[14:22] <pmatulis> refnumzx: you will need to make a package yourself if no one else has
[14:22] <andriijas> what was the url to the preview channel thing
[14:22] <andriijas> to fix php in lucid
[14:23] <refnumzx> is there documentation on how to do this?
[14:24] <pmatulis> refnumzx: most people would use the PPA method for such a thing.  so google 'ubuntu ppa'
[14:25] <refnumzx> thanks a lot
[14:27] <dominicdinada> quick question where is a place to quick upload a pdf without having to register and crap
[14:56] <pmatulis> dominicdinada: ubuntu-server related?
[14:56] <dominicdinada> sorry got help already
[15:21] <mdasilva> hi all, im looking at setting up a UEC but want to clarify the hardware requirements, specifically storage; nodes will only cache guest/instance images that live on the front end, correct?  can nodes take advantage of local data storage or must it use "walrus" for data storage on the front end?
[15:35] <Italian_Plumber> Good morning.  I'm having a hard drive problem, summarized here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478985  ... any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[15:38] <mcas> Italian_Plumber: do you have any errors in dmesg about /dev/sdd?
[15:39] <mcas> Italian_Plumber: additional you could test your hard drive with smartmon-tools
[15:41] <eagles0513875> hey guys just a quick question what is the difference between an ubuntu server kernel and normal ubuntu kernel
[15:43] <mcas> eagles0513875: e.g. support for special server hardware
[15:43] <eagles0513875> mcas: could i use it to install the desktop the remove the server kernel ?
[15:43] <eagles0513875> cuz atm ubiquity installer in kubuntu seems bugged and same in server O_O
[15:44] <eagles0513875> sigh
[15:44] <mcas> eagles0513875: have you tried alternate cd?
[15:44] <tesseracter> hi, I set up a NFS server, and linux computers can mount the systems fine. any ideas why osx is being pissy?
[15:44] <eagles0513875> mcas: alternate net install live cd
[15:44] <mcas> and server works for you?
[15:44] <eagles0513875> ubiquity is bugged mcas filed a bug but probably wont get looked at till next week due to uds
[15:44] <eagles0513875> mcas: will know soon enough
[15:45] <eagles0513875> acpi also seems bugged
[15:45] <mcas> if you have a server installation you can install kubuntu-desktop
[15:45] <mcas> and so you get kde enviroment
[15:45] <eagles0513875> mcas: i plan on doing that just curious as to the difference between the 2 kernel
[15:45] <eagles0513875> kernels
[15:46] <mcas> eagles0513875: i think you will have no problems with using server kernel
[15:46] <eagles0513875> mcas: at the point of loading additional components
[15:48] <Italian_Plumber> mcas: I have looking in dmesg and found some relevant data which I am currrently posting.
[15:48] <eagles0513875> another bug i have noticed mcas for me to get past formatting i have to turn acpi off if i dont it wont format my hdd
[15:49] <eagles0513875> mcas: not sure if you have a sec to take a look at this bug but my bug is 578210
[15:49] <mcas> bug #578210
[15:50] <mcas> eagles0513875: have you asked in #kubuntu-devel?
[15:50] <eagles0513875> mcas: server is even better formatting crashes and not hdd activity what so ever
[15:50] <eagles0513875> mcas:  :( banned from there long story on that that happened a few yrs back
[15:50] <eagles0513875> mcas: i have tried 2 different sizes of drives
[15:50] <eagles0513875> be it 500gb or 2tb same issues
[15:51] <Error404NotFound> i am connected to a openvpn server running ubuntu, i can ssh that but when i ping that i get "Time to live exceeded", similarly i can't use the DNS server deployed on openvpn server.
[15:51] <mcas> eagles0513875: jou talked to riddell?
[15:51] <eagles0513875> i filed the logs as he wanted mcas havent heard anything
[15:51] <Italian_Plumber> I found this in the dmesg: http://pastebin.com/CMH3bazc
[15:52] <eagles0513875> mcas: doesnt look like hes around either
[15:52] <eagles0513875> mcas: unless hes in devel hes more then welcome to pm me
[15:52] <mcas> eagles0513875: i am sure he will look at it asap
[15:53] <mcas> Italian_Plumber: i think you have a hardware problem either with your hd or with your mainboard
[15:53] <mcas> do you have a backup?
[15:54] <mcas> eagles0513875: i have no 64bit machine to test your bug so i think i cannot help you much more
[15:54] <eagles0513875> mcas: you talking to me re hardware
[15:55] <mcas> eagles0513875: pardon?
[15:56] <eagles0513875> about the hardware problem with your harddrive or mainboard mcas
[15:56] <mcas> eagles0513875: no... it's another problem i try to help with ;)
[15:57] <eagles0513875> mcas: ok
[15:57] <eagles0513875> well im trying again using local mirror
[15:58] <mcas> eagles0513875: have you checked your cd? have you tested you memory?
[15:58] <eagles0513875> tested all hardware its fine
[15:58] <eagles0513875> checksum of the isos match so its not a bad iso
[15:58] <eagles0513875> and im using a bootable usb
[15:58] <eagles0513875> tried 2 different ones and the same issue
[16:00] <eagles0513875> humm
[16:00] <mofomikes> hi all, im looking at setting up a UEC but want to clarify the hardware requirements, specifically storage; nodes will only cache guest/instance images that live on the front end, correct?  can nodes take advantage of local data storage or must it use "walrus" for data storage on the front end?
[16:01] <Italian_Plumber> mcas: a hardware problem is likely as I had a power failure a few days ago.
[16:01] <mcas> Italian_Plumber: do you have a second pc where you could test the hd?
[16:03] <eagles0513875> mcas: question for ya how well does server handle drives over 1tb
[16:03] <Italian_Plumber> ah yes.  Here's the point of failure last night: http://pastebin.com/JHt6bJ17
[16:03] <mcas> eagles0513875: no problems afaik
[16:03] <Italian_Plumber> I do have a second PC: my wife's. :)  So it's problematic getting access to it.
[16:03] <eagles0513875> strange why is the formatting hanging then mcas
[16:05] <mcas> Italian_Plumber: i think it's the only test you could do
[16:05] <mcas> eagles0513875: hanging for how long?
[16:05] <eagles0513875> mcas: seems like it formats up to 33% then there is no hdd activity at all
[16:06] <eagles0513875> and then on kubuntu same thing if i leave acpi turned on hangs at 33%
[16:06] <eagles0513875> server its different with acpi on or off it still hangs at 33%
[16:07] <eagles0513875> i did have a power outage 2 weeks
[16:07] <eagles0513875> ago
[16:07] <eagles0513875> thing is at that time i was on win 7
[16:07] <eagles0513875> so i know thats not my problem right now
[16:07] <eagles0513875> ram and video card are all ok
[16:07] <eagles0513875> hdd is fine as well
[16:08] <Italian_Plumber> mcas: thanks.  Are you at a Marine Corps Air Station? :)
[16:08] <mcas> no ;-)
[16:10] <eagles0513875> :(
[16:10] <eagles0513875> im running out of options
[16:10] <eagles0513875> live cd alternate and even net install same problems
[16:13] <mcas> eagles0513875: have you tried to boot into live cd and then formatting your hd?
[16:13] <eagles0513875> mcas: on kubuntu live cd with acpi off that works fine it formats then i have issues with shared objects
[16:14] <eagles0513875> and an error saying that the version im installing is different then what is on the cd in my case live usb
[16:14] <mcas> eagles0513875: ubuntu live cd?
[16:14] <eagles0513875> if i hit retry a number of times it sometimes installs other times i ahve to skip
[16:14] <eagles0513875> mcas: havent tried ubuntu live cd yet gonna try kubuntu alternate cd
[16:19] <oru_work> how do I go to a specific line in nano ?
[16:20] <mcas> oru_work: META-G
[16:21] <oru_work> mcas, thnx
[16:43] <billybigrigger> is an nfs share supposed to be laggy on a 100mbps home network?
[16:45] <billybigrigger> ie, it will transfer 50mb, then pause for about 8 secs, then go for another 50mb
[16:45] <billybigrigger> the nfs server is through vbox, watching top, i have lots of cpu/mem available
[16:45] <_ruben> sounds more like the disks cant handle it or so
[16:45] <eagles0513875> billybigrigger: they ide or sata drives
[16:45] <billybigrigger> maybe it's just slow through vbox, but the whole system hangs up after about 50mb
[16:46] <billybigrigger> hmm now that i think about it, my os disk is ide...
[16:46] <billybigrigger> have 2 storage drives that are sata...
[16:46] <eagles0513875> billybigrigger: i have noticed that I/O is slow on vbox
[16:46] <eagles0513875> and ide doesnt help either
[16:46] <billybigrigger> nope it doesn't
[16:46] <billybigrigger> just testing nfs out, building a fileserver today, that will have 1tb sata
[16:46] <billybigrigger> thinking about getting a gigabit switch in here today too...
[16:47] <eagles0513875> gotcha your better off testing with a sata drive if you want more accurate I/O info
[16:47] <billybigrigger> 2 storage drives on my main machine here are sata...so i shouldn't have any more problems when i go live, instead of using vbox
[16:48] <billybigrigger> eagles0513875, you have experience with gigabit networks at all? ie for home use
[16:48] <eagles0513875> its funny you ask
[16:48] <eagles0513875> i dont have a giga switch
[16:49] <eagles0513875> but desktop and mac are both gigabit nics
[16:49] <eagles0513875> billybigrigger: what kinda questions you got
[16:49] <billybigrigger> yeah, new fileserver mobo will have gigabit nic, so i might as well take advantage of them
[16:49] <billybigrigger> just wondering what real world speeds i will achieve
[16:49] <billybigrigger> 1000Mbps works out to ~140MB/s
[16:49] <eagles0513875> ya i wanna get a wireless n router for my wifi n card in my mac as well as a gigabit switch
[16:49] <billybigrigger> im happy if really see over 100MB/s
[16:50] <eagles0513875> billybigrigger: not sure off the top of my head m8 but even with 100mbps router
[16:50] <eagles0513875> i get 1.2mbps over my 10mbps cable internet connection
[16:52] <billybigrigger> why so slow?
[16:52] <billybigrigger> my cable connection is 25mbps and i can max it out
[16:52] <eagles0513875> billybigrigger: cable isp is a monopolizing compnay here on this island
[16:52] <billybigrigger> using usenet, or torrent
[16:52] <eagles0513875> nice
[16:52] <billybigrigger> island, which one?
[16:52] <eagles0513875> malta
[16:53] <eagles0513875> 60 miles south of scicily
[16:53] <billybigrigger> oooh, must be nice living there :)
[16:53] <eagles0513875> paradies
[16:53] <eagles0513875> hehe
[16:53] <eagles0513875> originall was born in usa
[16:53] <eagles0513875> but parents are from here so im back here now studying hehe
[16:53] <billybigrigger> i live in canada, so that sounds like a beautiful place to live for me
[16:53] <eagles0513875> have family back here
[16:53] <billybigrigger> ahh thats cool
[16:53] <eagles0513875> it is i love it over the usa
[16:53] <eagles0513875> but i have best of both worlds usa and european union
[16:54] <billybigrigger> dual citizen?
[16:54] <eagles0513875> mcas: strange the partitioner on the alternate cd seems to be working O_o im wondering if there is a bug in the partitioning system
[16:54] <eagles0513875> billybigrigger: ya
[16:54] <billybigrigger> niiiice :P
[16:54] <billybigrigger> alright, going to pick up some parts...ill be back with some questions i imagine haha
[16:55] <eagles0513875> lol ok billybigriggerand im gonna stay here trying to get kubuntu lucid installed
[16:55] <eagles0513875> ubiquity has a severe bug
[16:56] <mcas> eagles0513875: i told you to try the alternate cd :-D
[16:56] <eagles0513875> i am now
[16:56] <eagles0513875> but its strange how it doesnt work on ubuntu server the partitioning and formatting just hangs at 33% and when i touch the drive there is no activity on it
[16:59] <halvors> I know it takes a lot of time on the 33% but it shoulds continue :-/
[16:59] <eagles0513875> 2tb hdd halvors
[16:59] <eagles0513875> its continuing now
[16:59] <eagles0513875> installing base system
[17:00] <Italian_Plumber> mcas: looks like turning the computer off and back on again (instead of just rebooting) has got that SATA link back up.
[17:00] <Italian_Plumber> oh and I also reseated the drive's power cord, data cable, and the SATA controller card
[17:01] <mcas> that sounds good to me eagles0513875 and Italian_Plumber
[17:01] <mcas> i have to go
[17:01] <mcas> bye
[17:06] <halvors> ok, i know i formatted a 1tb hdd its took a lot of time.
[17:10]  * eagles0513875 regrets using the shitty local mirror which isnt a local mirror but a server here redirected to a uk server. will have to work with lug to get that sorted and setup the right way
[17:15] <enav> good morning... you guys know how to change the screen resolution to an Ubuntu Server????
[17:15] <rigr> xconfigurator
[17:19] <enav> let me google it  thanks
[17:29] <Error404NotFound> i have made a torrent of some videos that i made i my local machine, same videos exists on my ubuntu server deployed at say abc.com, is there a commandline torrent that i can use to seed my torrent?
[17:53] <mcmatterson> can someone give me a definitive answer about what the UEC metadata service should look like on a lucid UEC install? I've got a single-machine CC+NC setup for testing, and am experiencing the 'hang on EC2 metadata' bug that's all the rage these days (https://bugs.launchpad.net/eucalyptus/+bug/566792). What should a wget http://169.254.169.254/latest/ return?
[17:54] <eagles0513875> mcas: we shall see if the install was successful after reboot
[17:54] <eagles0513875> hehe
[17:57] <eagles0513875> mcas: regretting choosing the correct mirror
[18:24] <Italian_Plumber>  error: check out rtorrent
[18:24] <Italian_Plumber> Error404NotFound ^^
[18:28] <Error404NotFound> Italian_Plumber, found bittorrent, rtorrent doesn't create torrents afaik
[18:28] <Italian_Plumber> rtorrent does not make torrents.  You said you already made the torrent.
[18:43] <Italian_Plumber> is there a "stronger" command to reboot, than "reboot"?
[18:44] <eagles0513875> Italian_Plumber: use the init scritp on command line issue sudo init 6
[18:44] <eagles0513875> Italian_Plumber: 6 is reboot 0 is shutdown
[18:44] <RoyK> reboot -f
[18:44] <eagles0513875> RoyK: init scripts would work as well
[18:45] <RoyK> unless something hangs
[18:45] <RoyK> reboot == init 6
[18:45] <RoyK> halt == init 0
[18:45] <Italian_Plumber> so far neither is working :)
[18:46] <Italian_Plumber> box is still pluggin' away
[18:47] <RoyK> reboot -f normally works
[18:47] <RoyK> if you can reach the console, type hold alt+prtscreen and type SUB
[18:49] <Italian_Plumber> Console is ~3 miles away :)
[18:49] <Italian_Plumber> I guess I'll have to wait until I get home
[18:49] <Italian_Plumber> oh -- wait... I think it's doing it now
[18:50] <RoyK> an OOPS can make the system not allow for a reboot
[18:50] <eagles0513875> Italian_Plumber: hence install ssh hehe
[18:50] <RoyK> I've seen that a few times
[18:50] <Italian_Plumber> an oops?
[18:50] <RoyK> so, enable kernel.panic_on_oops
[18:50] <RoyK> and kernel.panic = 60
[18:50] <RoyK> oops is a "panic light"
[18:50] <eagles0513875> Italian_Plumber: another reboot command is sudo shutdown -r now
[18:51] <RoyK> eagles0513875: it still just does an init 6
[18:51] <eagles0513875> gotcha
[18:51] <Italian_Plumber> successfully rebooted :)
[18:51] <RoyK> Italian_Plumber: in /etc/sysctl.conf, set kernel.panic_on_oops = 1 and kernel.panic = 60
[18:52] <RoyK> that'll make the system panic if an oops happens and reboot 60 seconds the panic
[18:53] <Italian_Plumber> what would cause an opps
[18:59] <eagles0513875> mcas: what im finding funny is the installer seems to fail when installing kde
[19:00] <RoyK> Italian_Plumber: usually a faulty driver or bad hardware
[19:00] <RoyK> eagles0513875: kde on a server?
[19:00] <eagles0513875> RoyK: no not on a server my desktop
[19:01] <eagles0513875> been fighting with ubiquity like no other and it turns out its a bug between ubiquity and kde something with kde
[19:01] <ARTSIOM> Hi All!
[19:01] <enav> hi guys for some reason i cant execute ebox on my ubuntu server
[19:02] <ARTSIOM> right now on karmic I have sun_java6_jdk_1.6.0_20, how can I downgrade it to sun_java6_jdk_1.6.0_17?
[19:46] <ARTSIOM> right now on karmic I have sun_java6_jdk_1.6.0_20, how can I downgrade it to sun_java6_jdk_1.6.0_17?
[19:46] <eagles0513875> ARTSIOM: i wouldnt advices it
[19:46] <eagles0513875> anything below 20 has a nasty exploit
[19:47] <mcas> re
[19:47] <eagles0513875> mcas: got it workign with alternate
[19:47] <mcas> eagles0513875: great :-)
[19:47] <eagles0513875> turns out the bug is between ubiquity and the kde packages somewhere
[19:48] <eagles0513875> installing kde now hehe gnome installs fine kde is bugged
[19:48] <eagles0513875> mcas:  :( thats not good
[19:48] <eagles0513875> had a random reboot
[19:48] <eagles0513875> nm
[19:48] <eagles0513875> damn screen saver hehe
[19:49] <ARTSIOM> eagles0513875: ok, if I understand the risks, is there any standard way to downgrade package?
[19:49] <eagles0513875> ARTSIOM: im not sure actually
[19:52] <mcas> ARTSIOM: do you still have the "old" package on your hd?
[19:53] <eagles0513875> mcas: i think if he doesnt he could get it from the java website
[19:53] <eagles0513875> java.sun.com
[19:54] <ARTSIOM> mcas: no, 1.6.0-u20 was the initial install
[19:55] <mcas> ARTSIOM: how do you install this version?
[19:56] <ARTSIOM> mcas: apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[19:57] <mcas> ok then you have to download the -17 version from the java.sun.com website first
[19:58] <ARTSIOM> mcas: I am already browsing it for a while, but can't find a link for old versions...
[19:58] <mcas> after you uninstalled the -20 version apt-get purge sun-java6-jdk install the package you previously downloaded
[20:01] <mcas> ARTSIOM: http://java.sun.com/products/archive/
[20:01] <eagles0513875> mcas: fyi you can have multiple versions of the jdk it seems like without them conflicting
[20:02] <billybigrigger> hey all
[20:02] <eagles0513875> hey billybigrigger i figured out the source of the problem i was having
[20:03] <billybigrigger> which was
[20:03] <mcas> eagles0513875: thanks for the hint
[20:03] <eagles0513875> no problem mcas fyi can also have 2 versions installed 32bit or 64bit at same time as well
[20:04] <RickyWh> which version of ubuntu should be used for a stable server?
[20:04] <billybigrigger> im having problems setting up my routers after adding this switch
[20:05] <billybigrigger> dhcp doesn't seem to be working, so im guessing i have to manually set my ip addresses
[20:07] <mcas> RickyWh: IMHO you can use the brand new LTS 10.04 release
[20:08] <billybigrigger> is it odd for a switch to not have an uplink?
[20:08] <RickyWh> apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade to get any updates right?
[20:08] <billybigrigger> this switch i bought only has 5 ports, so i imagine i just connect my router to link1?
[20:08] <billybigrigger> i thought it would have an uplink port for a router
[20:09] <mcas> billybigrigger: i think the switch has auto mode for uplink on every port
[20:09] <billybigrigger> yeah
[20:10] <billybigrigger> got er working now
[20:10] <billybigrigger> except my fileserver only has a 100mbps link
[20:10] <billybigrigger> weird
[20:10] <eagles0513875> O_o
[20:11] <billybigrigger> not having an os installed shouldn't change the link speed of my internal nic should it? ie im just sitting after post..."insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"
[20:11] <billybigrigger> can't see anything in the bios to select a link speed either
[20:12] <eagles0513875> billybigrigger: what kinda network cable you got
[20:12] <eagles0513875> 5e or cat 6
[20:13] <billybigrigger> sonnofa.....
[20:13] <eagles0513875> billybigrigger: ?
[20:13] <billybigrigger> thought it was 5e, looks to be and old cat5
[20:13] <eagles0513875> billybigrigger: thats the problem most likely
[20:13] <billybigrigger> :P
[20:13] <billybigrigger> hmm
[20:14] <billybigrigger> cat5e patch cable will do i guess
[20:14] <eagles0513875> shame i cant walk over a 5e table to test it lol
[20:15] <billybigrigger> hmmm
[20:15] <billybigrigger> this 5e patch cable is still only giving a 100mbps link
[20:15] <billybigrigger> sob
[20:19] <jeeves_moss> just wondering about gl_tail and if anyone has been able to install it.  currently, I'm stuck on net-ssh (ruby package), and I can't get it installed
[20:39] <billybigrigger_> am i wrong in assuming that a cat5e and a cat5e patch cable have the same throughput?
[20:41] <mcas> i think cat5e and cat5e should have the same troughput :-)
[20:44] <MTecknology> Any of you know much about xmpp with google apps? If that's even appropriate for this channel.
[20:55] <mluser-work> Hello everyone, I need to blacklist kvm and kvm_intel kernel modules, but adding them to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf does not seem to work.. any ideas?
[21:03] <sbeattie> mluser-work: can you disable the kvm initscript/upstart config that causes them to be loaded?
[21:06] <mluser-work> sbeattie: yes thanks.. its working now :)
[22:00] <Airells> do you know any good and actuall tutorial or sth about LDAP on ubuntu ?
[22:01] <soloslinger> hey all.  I am following this documentation, but it doesn't mention anything about adding the service to start on startup.  How would I go about doing that? https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[22:02] <soloslinger> rc-update add vsftpd default?
[22:15] <u0324> Has anybody dealt with reconciling apt-get installing the amanda-server package in lucid with backup:backup and the ZWC client wanting to backup windows machines using the amandabackup user?
[22:19] <RickyWh> how do i enable sftp on ubuntu 10.04 ?
[22:22] <RoyK> RickyWh: apt-get install ssh
[22:24] <RickyWh> When I try to connect with WinSCP it asks me to login, i type root and the error says "REceived too large SFTP packet"
[22:25] <RickyWh> if i try logging in with user ubuntu, then I cannot upload files to the /var/ directory, error "permission denied"
[22:26] <RoyK> /var is usually not writable for users
[22:26] <RoyK> try the home dir
[22:26] <RoyK> or set permissions for the dir into which you want to upload files
[22:26] <RoyK> not the whole of /var, that'd be bad
[22:27] <RickyWh> i want to upload files to /var/www/
[22:28] <RickyWh> which is where my apache2 reads from
[22:28] <RickyWh> and the only reason I need access to /var/ is to upload an /includes/ directory with database php scripts
[22:30] <RickyWh> is it safe to make /var/www chown to ubuntu user?
[22:32] <RoyK> RickyWh: man chmod
[22:32] <RickyWh> well i already changed the owner of the directory to ubuntu
[22:32] <RickyWh> maybe I should just make it read and write by a group that ubuntu is part of instead?
[22:34] <RoyK> with scp or stcp the user used should suffice
[22:37] <RickyWh> is it a huge security risk to chown the /var/www to ubuntu user?
[22:39] <mdasilva> with a UEC setup, can node instances write to local disks?
[22:56] <enav> hi guys after install ebox on my server it does not run at all.... what could it be?
[23:23] <cloakable> Just upgraded to 10.04, and there's a bug in the mailstack: the cmusieve plugin isn't installed, you need to use sieve, not cmusieve now.
[23:43] <enav> guys witch is the most stable server edition of ubuntu 8 ,9 or 10?????
[23:50] <ScottK> enav: Myself I've never had any stability issues with any of the supported releases, but, of course, depending on your hardware and package selections it may be different for you.
[23:51] <ScottK> If you are just starting now, I would recommend starting with 10.04 (the most recent release).
[23:51] <enav> ScottK  i ask that question because ebox is not running on my ubuntu server... i'm just downloading  Ubuntu Server edition 8  and see what happens
[23:52] <ScottK> The most work around ebox integration was done for 8.04.
[23:54] <enav> ScottK that means ebox is a little outdated?
[23:55] <ScottK> No, it means that if you are using ebox, your best chance of it working is probably 8.04.
[23:55] <ScottK> It hasn't had a lot of focused effort since.
[23:56] <enav> ok thanks mate... im about to create my first web server in the open source world....
