[00:00] <Psi-Jack> hehe
[00:00] <MTecknology> here...
[00:00] <Psi-Jack> Well, all in all, Ubuntu Server looks like a viable option for the host OS at least. It's just a matter of wether to use UEC, or keep it simpler with virt-manager and/or virsh.
[00:00] <MTecknology> http://paste.ubuntu.com/441108/
[00:01] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: that's how I generate all vm's that are ubuntu
[00:01] <Psi-Jack> Heh
[00:02] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: there's a lot there - but 90% of the system is setup when that finishes - I'm going to be writing a script to polish them off for me probably
[00:03] <Psi-Jack> Heh
[00:03]  * penguin42 clicks the buttons on virt-manager, a lot easier
[00:03] <MTecknology> penguin42: ya ya - if you say so :P
[00:04] <Psi-Jack> Heh
[00:04] <Psi-Jack> I should've taken the sign with Citrix, when it had issues on one of my servers that it had trouble detecting three simple network cards.
[00:04] <MTecknology> I always take cli over gui if cli makes any sense - my media player is cli
[00:04]  * MTecknology is not a citrix fan
[00:04] <Psi-Jack> Me neither!
[00:05] <Psi-Jack> Their vnet stack is borked!
[00:05] <Psi-Jack> I had a Debian-based router/firewall/LVS director in a vm on citrix, and it could LVS direct by NAT for servers not in the same physical server, but to a guest inside the same physical server would completely trash the packets.
[00:05] <MTecknology> penguin42: does virt-manager install let you choose packages to add/remove and ppa's to add?
[00:06] <penguin42> MTecknology: No, it's purely for creation of the VM at the virtual hardware/networking - it doesn't do anything inside the VM
[00:06] <MTecknology> penguin42: then virsh is win :D
[00:06] <penguin42> can virsh do that? How?
[00:07] <MTecknology> penguin42: linky ^
[00:07] <penguin42> Ah, vmbuilder
[00:07] <penguin42> I've heard of it but not tried it
[00:07] <MTecknology> err... ya- that - idk why i was thinking that was virsh
[00:08] <penguin42> I was thinking virsh was virsh
[00:09] <MTecknology> that really long thing though - gives me a system that'll be 90% ready for me to polish off - takes me about 10min to have a server doing w/e i want it to after that finishes
[00:09] <penguin42> which is nice
[00:09] <MTecknology> the servers I'll be deploying later won't be that friendly
[00:10] <MTecknology> i'll have a lot of learning - drdb, mysql replication, redundancy, carp, etc
[00:10] <Psi-Jack> Alright, well, here goes. Getting ready to toss Ubuntu-Server on one of my servers. ;)
[00:10] <MTecknology> !kvm | Psi-Jack
[00:11] <Psi-Jack> MTecknology: So you think I should just do it, without UEC?
[00:11] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: I never mucked with that - i'd assume it's just a stack that you'd wind up with following that
[00:12] <MTecknology> !uec
[00:13] <Psi-Jack> Well, UEC does use Java, so the host OS becomes a big memory hog in itself...
[00:13] <MTecknology> icky
[00:14] <MTecknology> it must just include a web ui for managing things?
[00:14] <Psi-Jack> Heh, I'd barely even call it a web UI for managing anything to be honest.
[00:14] <Psi-Jack> It doesn't let you create VMs. Manage them. Turn them on or off.. Or anything useful IMHO.
[00:15] <Psi-Jack> That was for UEC in 9.10 though. Never saw if 10.04 improved that or not.
[00:15] <MTecknology> virsh start hostname
[00:16] <MTecknology> :)
[00:16] <penguin42> Psi-Jack: I did go to a presentation on UEC - it's supposed to be very easy to get going
[00:16] <Psi-Jack> No, I didn't.
[00:16] <MTecknology> to kill w/o power off - virsh destroy hostname
[00:17] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: he said 'he' did
[00:17] <Psi-Jack> Ahh
[00:17] <Psi-Jack> 'supposed' to be. And are, are two different things. ;)
[00:18] <MTecknology> I'm looking at it some - it looks pretty seamless
[00:18] <MTecknology> penguin42: Eucalyptus == UEC ?
[00:18] <Psi-Jack> Yes
[00:18] <Psi-Jack> Ubuntu Eucalyptus Cloud
[00:18] <MTecknology> ah..
[00:19]  * MTecknology read it as Enteprise
[00:19] <MTecknology> http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid39_gci1391656,00.html
[00:19] <MTecknology> that's the setup process - lacking on details for the rest of stuff
[00:20] <Psi-Jack> For 9.10
[00:20] <MTecknology> personally - it looks like i can do it all from cli - so that's what I'll continue to do - i prefer not adding deps i don't need
[00:20] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: ya... but ubuntu only gets better :D
[00:20] <Psi-Jack> Ehhh.... Sometimes.
[00:20] <Psi-Jack> There's still some things about Ubuntu I'm totally enraged about, personally.
[00:21] <Psi-Jack> upstart, being one of them I absolutely hate.
[00:22] <Psi-Jack> Well, definitely interesting.
[00:22] <Psi-Jack> XenServer fully utilized LVM for local storage volumes. ;)
[00:23] <penguin42> Psi-Jack: I'm running kvm instances off lvm volumes
[00:23] <MTecknology> i like upstart - but i really don't like the bloat in plymouth
[00:23] <penguin42> upstart just seems unfinished - none of the config tools work with it
[00:23] <Psi-Jack> heh
[00:23] <Psi-Jack> upstart IS unfinished.
[00:23] <Psi-Jack> That's the problem!
[00:24] <Psi-Jack> LOL
[00:24] <penguin42> it does seem to have some nice bits though
[00:24] <MTecknology> jdong is doing good on it though - it's mostly just him
[00:24] <Psi-Jack> Just like the one they used in hardy was unfinished. Yet they're putting unfinished init systems in LTS.
[00:24] <MTecknology> scott*
[00:24] <Psi-Jack> I wonder if they'll start yet a new init system with 10.10. :)
[00:26] <MTecknology> nah - upstart is slow in progress but considering the # of devs... not surprising
[00:27] <Psi-Jack> Well, so far, I got Ubuntu Server installing, without UEC.
[00:27] <MTecknology> imo - a gui is just bloat
[00:27] <MTecknology> like ebox or webmin
[00:27] <Psi-Jack> Webmin, I actually use and like.
[00:28] <Psi-Jack> My main webserver is totally configured by virtualmin. ;)
[00:28] <Psi-Jack> Thing about it is, webmin+virtualmin has both web interfacing and CLI tools to totally do everything with.
[00:28] <MTecknology> i thought it was the bestest best until i learned how to do the same thing via cli - then saw how it destroyed the configs - then decided i can do it all better myself
[00:29] <Psi-Jack> It doesn't really destroy configs. There /was/ a time it did, but today it's pretty clean.
[00:32] <MTecknology> can it make exim configs look pretty when it's all done?
[00:32] <MTecknology> as pretty as exim can allow...
[00:32] <Psi-Jack> Heh.
[00:32] <Psi-Jack> Dunno. exim's not my mailserver of choice.
[00:33] <MTecknology> I wonder if I can get nessus on my backtrack vm..
[00:34] <MTecknology> I want to scan my servers to see if i missed anything obvious
[00:42] <Psi-Jack> Cool. ubuntu 10.04 has a tasksel for virtual machine host. ;)
[00:44] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: ya, i just follow aptitude path :P
[00:46] <Psi-Jack> And... Finally... Almost done installing.
[00:51] <Psi-Jack> Hmm, nothing new yet for 10.4 on howtoforge for the same as: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-9.10
[00:51] <Psi-Jack> Yet, I see. ;)
[00:52] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: the ubuntu server docs guys keep pretty up on kvm - you should peek there
[00:55] <Psi-Jack> heh.
[00:55] <Psi-Jack> And the first problem..
[00:55] <Psi-Jack> virsh -q qemu://system list, fails with: Error: Cannot access CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory.
[00:58] <penguin42> hmm I don't have one of those
[00:59] <penguin42> ah you set up for doing it remotely
[00:59] <MTecknology> penguin42: virsh -c qemu:///system
[01:00] <penguin42> hey tell that to Psi-Jack
[01:00] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: *
[01:00] <Psi-Jack> Yeah, I'm on it. ;)
[01:02] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: if you're connecting to a remote system - virsh -c qemu+ssh://192.168.1.4/system
[01:02] <Psi-Jack> This is local...
[01:03] <penguin42> that's curious, because with the -c it works here
[01:04] <penguin42> http://libvirt.org/remote.html  has instructions for generating the keys/certs - but I don't think you should need to for local
[01:05] <MTecknology> I wish firefox would let you do something like some.addy.com@123.123.123.123
[01:05] <penguin42> why do you want to?
[01:05] <MTecknology> internal or dev systems
[01:05] <MTecknology> i'd use it daily
[01:06] <Psi-Jack> So you could go to a specific IP and still use HTTP 2.0 to send what host name you're trying to use. ;)
[01:06] <penguin42> you need the http1.1 hostname stuff?
[01:06] <MTecknology> ya
[01:06]  * penguin42 would just add a /etc/hosts entry
[01:06] <MTecknology> that's what i do
[01:06] <MTecknology> i just wish i could do that w/ firefox
[01:06] <MTecknology> or like how virsh does it
[01:07] <MTecknology> firefox http://10.41.0.5/dev.domain.com
[01:07] <drake> Hello everyone.
[01:07] <Psi-Jack> Hmmm. Fun fun!
[01:07] <Psi-Jack> Ubuntu fail. Can't even get network going at the moment. LOL
[01:08] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: can't setup a bridged interface?
[01:08] <Psi-Jack> No no..
[01:08] <Psi-Jack> I set it up to use eth0 during install, and after install, eth0 is non-existant.
[01:09] <Psi-Jack> However eth1 worked, (but that's the NIC connected to the cablemodem), and eth2 worked..
[01:09] <Psi-Jack> eth0, is..... Plain dead.
[01:10] <drake> If you're running ubuntu server with no gui, and you want to share subfolders from /media/yourusbdrive but not the entire thing, How would you suggest going about doing that?  Say there's three folders you want to share in that drive named 'documents' 'apps' & 'storage'.  They're all on the root of said device but there's also a lot of other folders you do NOT want shared.  Any thoughts?
[01:11] <drake> The twist is that the entire drive is already currently being shared and visible by any computer within the network.
[01:28] <drake> Hello all.
[01:32] <edwin-sv> hi guys!!!
[01:35] <edwin-sv> how can i do to make GRUB recognize the type of the filesystem of a partition to boot from it again?
[01:48] <Psi-Jack> Heh
[01:48] <Psi-Jack> Well, interesting. I was at least able to get virt-manager running. Installing a guest OS now under fluxbox. ;)
[01:50] <edwin-sv> Hello everyone!!! How can i do to make GRUB recognize the type of the filesystem (ext3) of a partition to boot from it again? actually that partition has ext3 filesystem and the boot loader but after some repair maintenance with fsck GRUB presents an Error 17 :(  (btw, I don't want to lose the data formating as ext3 that partition)
[01:51] <edwin-sv> Thanks in advance! :)
[02:01] <ChmEarl> edwin-sv, do you have more than one hd?
[02:02] <edwin-sv> no ChmEarl, only one
[02:02] <edwin-sv> but in that disk I have three partitions
[02:02] <ChmEarl> all bootable? or more than 1 is bootable?
[02:03] <edwin-sv> sda1=ubuntu booteable; sda2=swap; sda3=ntfs non-booteable
[02:04] <ChmEarl> edwin-sv, if you are using grub2 I am have no answer
[02:04] <edwin-sv> actually the problem is that the error 17 says that grub doesn't recognize the type of filesystem
[02:05] <MTecknology> how do i Make a file on the system with a / in it?
[02:05] <ChmEarl> edwin-sv, the usual approach is boot with live media ( I prefer puppy) and check with fdisk
[02:05] <edwin-sv> ChmEarl, actually that server has ubuntu with the last grub before grub2 :)
[02:06] <ChmEarl> edwin-sv, be sure that the MBR and super-blocks are good
[02:07] <ChmEarl> edwin-sv, parted can recover a lost partition too
[02:07] <edwin-sv> ChmEarl, I have booted with a Ubuntu liveCD and try to mount that partition but appears an error that I must declare the type of filesystem
[02:09] <edwin-sv> I put that it is ext3 (mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /media/sda1) but it show an error that is not the right filesystem :(
[02:10] <edwin-sv> and when i type: fdisk -l  it show the parition /dev/sda1 with the id of the ext3 filesystem (83)
[02:10] <ChmEarl> edwin-sv, leave off the -t option, but pass an option -o offset=32256
[02:10] <ChmEarl> then mount will do the right thing
[02:11] <ChmEarl> edwin-sv, you can get the correct offset with fdisk -lu
[02:11] <ChmEarl> 32256 = 512 * 63
[02:13] <edwin-sv> ChmEarl... is a shame that the server is not in this room, but i will do tomorrow because i have to leave the office :(:$
[02:13] <edwin-sv> actually the time is 7:15pm in my GMT :(
[02:14] <edwin-sv> i am grateful with yor help ChmEarl !!!  :)
[02:14] <ChmEarl> np - happy weekend
[02:14] <edwin-sv> maybe can I see you here tomorrow again :)
[02:15] <edwin-sv> if not, thanx anyway!!!  o/
[02:15] <edwin-sv> :)
[05:03] <Psi-Jack> Hmmm interesting.
[05:03] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: how's it workign for ya?
[05:03] <Psi-Jack> dmesg is showing me with eth0, and eth1, with the exact same HW MAC addresses.. Which... Is... Not correct.
[05:04] <Psi-Jack> MTecknology: kvm? Even faster and better than Citrix was..
[05:04] <Psi-Jack> So far
[05:04] <Psi-Jack> But, having issues with getting my NIC's setup for bonding because they're showing up as the same device.
[05:04] <MTecknology> well..... that doesn't take much at all
[05:05] <Psi-Jack> Different location, physically and address-wise, but same MAC.
[05:06] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: pastebin 'ip maddr' 'ipconfig' 'cat /etc/network/interfaces'
[05:07] <Psi-Jack> One sec. I was just changing PCI slots on them. ;)
[05:08] <Psi-Jack> Ahhhh
[05:08] <Psi-Jack> Now they're showing up differently.
[05:08] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: magically working?
[05:08] <Psi-Jack> Yeah. I changed what PCI port the second one was on, and presto.
[05:09] <Psi-Jack> Kinda wierd, actually.
[05:09] <Psi-Jack> This is an ASUS M4N78 Pro mobo, and it has some wierdness issues.,
[05:10] <Psi-Jack> Now, just gotta correct the udev rules, and should be okay again. ;)
[05:12] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: enjoy the awesomeness :)
[05:13] <Psi-Jack> Heh
[05:13] <Psi-Jack> Though....
[05:13] <Psi-Jack> MTecknology: By chance do you run Windows servers under kvm at all, or just linux?
[05:14] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: just ubuntu - you can easily do windows too - just need virt-viewer -c qemu+ssh://some-ip/system hostname
[05:14] <MTecknology> unless you want to use virt-manager
[05:15] <Psi-Jack> Yeah.. usiong virt-manager, but my questions were more towards Windows and virtio for the VNIC. ;)
[05:15] <MTecknology> oh.. i probably don't have the answer
[05:15] <Psi-Jack> Yeaaah.
[05:16] <Psi-Jack> I tried enabling a new NIC with virtio, and installed the drivers in 2K8R2, and it didn't work, apparently.
[05:17] <MTecknology> the windows driver for windows is the issue?
[05:18] <MTecknology> try asking in #kvm
[05:19] <Psi-Jack> Yeah.
[05:22] <|corpse|> has anyone been seccessful in setting up samba for a home network in 10.04?
[05:23] <Psi-Jack> Heh
[05:23] <MTecknology> |corpse|: i'm sure a great many have been - are you looking for a question answered? if so you should ask it
[05:23] <Psi-Jack> Now to figure out how to setup a bonded eth0+eth1, bridge those two for the virtual network, and ... yeah. ;)
[05:24] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: heh... i've always wanted to do that
[05:24] <Psi-Jack> That's exactly what I'm GOING to do. ;)
[05:24] <MTecknology> Psi-Jack: you should blog a how to
[05:24] <Psi-Jack> Oh, I will. :)
[05:24] <|corpse|> MTecknology: sorry, i keep having an issue were my other computers can see the network but when i try to access it i get "unable to locate share list" i googled the problem and saw it was pretty common in 10.04 but havnt not seen any fixes
[05:25] <Psi-Jack> I have a dokuwiki site I do for technically advanced stuff. ;)
[05:25] <MTecknology> |corpse|: config?
[05:25] <Psi-Jack> Aha.. Think I got it. ;)
[05:25] <e_t_> |corpse|: I've moved to rsync for home file sharing, but I have Samba set up. The key, IMHO, is to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf directly, instead of using a configuration tool.
[05:27] <|corpse|> e_t_: ok, i have worked with it a bit but ill look into it more. I am new to linux and setting up servers. i have managed to get a ipconfig 3 running with mail dns and ftp but still cant get into my drives from my other machines ><
[05:28] <MTecknology> pastebin your smb.conf
[05:28] <e_t_> |corpse|: If you have ftp up, use that. You will get MUCH faster transfers with that than with Samba.
[05:29] <MTecknology> e_t_: how secure is samba?
[05:30] <e_t_> MTecknology: I don't really have a way to judge the security of Samba. It does have support for authentication, but I don't know about encryption. I also don't know how Samba compares with other transfer protocols.
[05:31] <|corpse|> would you recommend rsync over it?
[05:32] <e_t_> It depends on what you are doing. If you just want to move files from one machine to another (and they're all Linux/UNIX), rsync can't be beaten. If you have Windows machines, or want to graphically browse, FTP or Samba are better.
[05:48] <Psi-Jack> Boom.
[05:48] <Psi-Jack> Ethernet Bonding with balance-tlb on two NIC's, br0 on top of bond0. :)
[05:49] <Psi-Jack> Everyone seems to document the "Debian" way to use module options, when it can be done right in the network/interfaces file as bond_option value
[05:51] <Psi-Jack> What's nice, is I don't have to change a darn thing in the Windows server vm at all. :)
[06:19] <LMJ> hi
[06:49] <brando753> is there a way to connect to wifi on ubuntu server
[06:51] <|corpse|> when setting up fstab can you use linux as the file system or does it have to be ext3, ext4 etc?
[06:52] <e_t_> |corpse|: linux is an operating system, not a file system.
[06:52] <|corpse|> e_t_: i was thinking that but when i do fdisk -a some drives are ntfs some are fat32 and some are linux
[06:53] <e_t_> That's just fdisk being non-specific.
[06:53] <|corpse|> e_t_: i just wasnt sure if i ould use linux beause i know a drive is ext4 but when i try to mount it says its not valid
[06:53] <|corpse|> is there any way to make it more specific
[06:54] <|corpse|> im setting up 5 drives and out of them i have 1 mounted correctly =\
[06:55] <e_t_> Not that I know of. Fdisk doesn't care particularly because its only job is partitioning. Other tools are used to actually format the partitions.
[06:59] <|corpse|> ok, cause i know one drive is ext4 but when i mount it i get VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem
[07:00] <e_t_> |corpse|: have you Google
[07:00] <e_t_> ed the error
[07:00] <e_t_> (pressed Enter by mistake)
[07:04] <|corpse|> yeah, not having a ton of luck though, ill keep diggig around
[07:04] <e_t_> |corpse|: what do you want to do with these five drives?
[07:04] <|corpse|> store and share files
[07:04] <|corpse|> with my home network
[07:04] <e_t_> As a RAID?
[07:05] <|corpse|> pretty much
[07:06] <|corpse|> i would like to keep redundent backups of my systems on one drive. then keep movies, tv, music ect on others
[07:07] <e_t_> Probably what you want to do is set up Logical Volume Management. Check this out - http://www.linuxconfig.org/Linux_lvm_-_Logical_Volume_Manager
[07:07] <|corpse|> ahh, thanks ill give it a look
[08:47] <cybrocop> Hi All. Is it possible to make an Ubuntu 10.04 system not boot because of messing up the networking configuration. To be specific it boots, but it gets stuck at one point and doesn't give me a login prompt so that I can even log in to investigate what the problem is.
[08:57] <cybrocop> This is what I get:   http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/8377/imag0060i.jpg   -- All I did was to create a new bridge and I have copied the contents of /etc/network/interfaces from a working computer... so I don't know why it wouldn't start up the bridge, but even more worrying is that I can't even log in to see what the problem is. Incidentally, I can ping the IP address of the bridge so it must have worked to a certain extent, but not enough to
[08:57] <cybrocop> get me a login prompt.
[09:48] <Psi-Jack> Hmmm. That problem is showing up again on my other virtual machine server, two Netgear GA311's showing up in dmesg with the exact same HW MAC, eth0, and eth1, different IRQ.
[10:17] <lau> hello, I update 8.04 to 10.04 via do-release-upgrade
[10:17] <lau> after reboot I am stuck on busybox initramfs prompt
[10:18] <lau> I tryed set rootdelay=90 on grub entry
[10:18] <lau> but still got busybox initramfs prompt
[10:19] <lau> I tryed boot on live cd than fsck the root partition than chroot and update-grub
[10:19] <lau> but still got into the busybox initramfs prompt
[10:19] <lau> any idea how to fix this ?
[10:20] <lau> it says uuid not found where can I check uuid info ?
[11:03] <RoyK> lau: blkid
[11:03] <RoyK> lau: I've seen that happen a few times myself - replaced the uuid= in /etc/fstab with the device name (/dev/sdax)
[11:04] <RoyK> that works unless you shuffle your disks, but then, if you do that, other things may break too
[11:04] <RoyK> hm... but busybox? did you install grub2? maybe grub2 is using the uuid
[11:05]  * RoyK neither knows nor likes grub2 too well
[12:15] <Deeps> feeling very silly, and i'm sure it's something obvious, but can anyone see why it's not letting me add this route?
[12:15] <Deeps> http://paste.ubuntu.com/441307/
[12:16] <Deeps> configuration of eth0 is 192.168.0.32/24
[12:16] <Deeps> so new target router for 192.168.1.0/24 is subnet local still
[12:16] <norrec> i'm trying to install ebox but i'm having truble with dependancies so i'm not sure where i went wrong. apt-get is saying that there are packages that are unavalible that are listed as avaliable on packages.ubuntu.com
[12:19] <a_m_y> wanted to know how to use iptables in load balancing? tnx
[12:27] <RoyK> a_m_y: see http://lartc.org/

[13:03] <awb> Hello, I'm new to Ubuntu Server, I'm trying to setup a Primary Domain Controller on Ubuntu 10.04 for Windows Machines to join, I was wondering if there is some sort of current guide to fully setup a server as a PDC I have not found one that actually works in Ubuntu 10.04 yet, or has someone setup a PDC in 10.04 and can walk me through?
[13:05] <RoyK> awb: samba can work as a winnt pdc, but not AD pdc - google for samba pdc
[13:10] <RoyK> awb: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=samba+active+directory+dc
[13:10] <awb> the problem I am finding is the active directory stuff
[13:29] <cybrocop> Hi, what is the MAX number of SATA drives one can have. I have 6 installed, but without enabling my MOBO's SATA RAID functionality (fake raid) I am only able to see 4.
[13:37] <JohnDoy> cybrocop: it is MBo limit
[13:45] <bobo123> do I have to do anything to restart samba or something after I change the /etc/samba/smb.conf ?
[13:46] <cybrocop> Thanks JohnDoy, do you know whats the Linux max... for example, if we go with the standard nomenclature  sda - sdz that means you could have a total of 26 drives. Is there anything that comes after "z" for instance?
[13:47] <cybrocop> This is more of a curiosity. I don't think I'll ever have a configuration such as this. :)
[13:47] <JohnDoy> I believe it can go over 26 (a-z)
[13:48] <bobo123> (I want to be able to print from my other computers to the printer connected to this computer even when I have this computer started in ubuntu, and read somewhere that I should insert security = share in /etc/samba/smb.conf to stop it from asking for password)
[13:49] <cybrocop> JohnDoy.. yes, I just googled. After sdz, it starts with sdaa  http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dsichelp/ds8000ic/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.storage.ssic.help.doc/f2c_linuxscsilimit_2hsag9.html
[13:50] <JohnDoy> cybrocop: one says that limit for USB devices is 128
[14:13] <birmaan> hai
[14:13] <RoyK> ho
[14:29] <bobo123> hai ho!
[14:31] <daubers> Hey all, I've got some hostname weirdness going on, any idea what's wrong here? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/441349/
[14:31] <daubers> this is a lucid server
[14:32] <bogeyd6> daubers you dont have hostname installed
[14:32] <daubers> bogeyd6: Yes it is. If iI run it wihtout --fqdn it works fine
[14:32] <bogeyd6> lemme fir eup test vmware server
[14:33] <bogeyd6> im half wonder if you need to /bin/hostname --fqdn
[14:33] <JohnDoy> Does Ubuntu 10.04 have OpenVZ kernels supported?
[14:33] <daubers> bogeyd6: matt@daubers:~$ /bin/hostname --fqdn
[14:33] <daubers> hostname: Name or service not known
[14:33] <bogeyd6> forgot sudo
[14:34] <daubers> bogeyd6: Same result
[14:34] <bogeyd6> hmm
[14:34] <RoyK> afaik hostname should be runnable for a normal user - no need to sudo
[14:34] <bogeyd6> works fine on the test image
[14:34] <bogeyd6> joe@joe-desktop:~$ sudo hostname --fqdn | joe-desktop
[14:35] <bogeyd6> Linux joe-desktop 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:27:30 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[14:36] <daubers> interstingly dnsdomainname fails too
[14:36] <RoyK> works here as well
[14:37] <RoyK> daubers: have you set the domain name?
[14:37] <daubers> RoyK: It's set in /etc/hosts, see the pastebin above
[14:37] <bogeyd6> should return just the hostname at least
[14:37] <daubers> matt@daubers:~$ hostname
[14:37] <daubers> daubers.co.uk
[14:37] <bogeyd6> sounds suspiciously like  a path problem
[14:38] <RoyK> daubers: pastebin /etc/resolv.conf
[14:40] <daubers> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/441352/
[14:41] <RoyK> no domain set there
[14:42] <daubers> didn't help
[14:43] <RoyK> what about /etc/defaultdomain?
[14:43] <daubers> doesn't exit
[14:43] <daubers> exist
[14:44] <RoyK> add your domain there - # cat /etc/defaultdomain
[14:44] <RoyK> nilu.no
[14:45] <daubers> hah! /etc/hostname shouldn't contain the fully qualified domain name, just the bit before the .co.uk
[14:45] <daubers> sussed it!
[14:45] <daubers> reset that, add the hostname to /etc/hosts (without the .co.uk) and then restart the hsotname service
[14:45] <daubers> bingo
[14:46] <daubers> thanks chaps :) You managed to set me on the correct path
