| pish | Hi, is it possible to install some kind of "minimal" gnome in a ubuntu server in order to have a lighter desktop than xubuntu? | 06:03 |
| MTecknology | pish: why do you want a gui on a server? | 06:04 |
| pish | MTecknology, I'd like a "light" desktop server for development purposes in an old machine (P3/512MB) | 06:05 |
| MTecknology | pish: oh.. | 06:06 |
| MTecknology | pish: xfce is lighter than gnome - If you want light then check out openbox | 06:06 |
| pish | MTecknology, ok thanks. Which one is the distro for ubuntu+openbox? is it lubuntu(lxde)? | 06:07 |
| MTecknology | pish: get the ubuntu alternate cd - install just the Command Line system - I think you press F4 at the boot screen to get that - then aptitude install openbox | 06:08 |
| MTecknology | pish: warning though - light does not mean easy to learn :) | 06:08 |
| pish | MTecknology, ok, I'll consider that. Thanks for your tips. | 06:10 |
| MTecknology | np - enjoy | 06:10 |
| MTecknology | pish: btw - openbox is what I use every day | 06:10 |
| MTecknology | you might also want openbox-themes, obmenu, and obconf | 06:10 |
| pish | MTecknology, in an existing Ubuntu Desktop installation, could I install openbox packages just for testing and then remove them and be back to gnome? | 06:13 |
| MTecknology | pish: yup | 06:15 |
| MTecknology | pish: aptitude install openbox :) | 06:15 |
| pish | MTecknology, great. I'll try it right now. Thanks a lot again. | 06:16 |
| s_mark | does anyone know how to limit incomming connections speed based on IP address? e.g. limit each ip max to 1MB/s. Would linux tc do the job, if so how? | 06:32 |

| ivo_ | Hi, is there a way to make snapshot on a md volume? and is there a way to run fsck on a mounted filesystem? | 10:10 |
| cwillu_at_work | ivo_, depends on the filesystem, but generally no, and md doesn't support snapshots afaik (you need lvm, or a filesystem that has it built in for that) | 10:11 |
| ivo_ | :( | 10:11 |
| ivo_ | damn I should have sticked with opensolaris | 10:12 |
| ivo_ | how else can I be sure my data is ok | 10:12 |
| ivo_ | if I have to take my system down | 10:12 |
| ivo_ | only to fsck the filesystems | 10:12 |
| ivo_ | this is a lot of downtime | 10:12 |
| cwillu_at_work | btrfs has checksumming, and will probably be suitable for cautious production use soon | 10:18 |
| cwillu_at_work | fsck generally isn't concerned with data corruption, only metadata corruption though | 10:19 |
| SandGorgon | anyone using mysql with a SA-SCSI 10K drive on Ubuntu ? Any performance issues, driver problems, etc ? | 12:41 |
| Jeeves_ | SandGorgon: I wouldn't expect those problems, actually. | 13:12 |
| VeeCount | hiall! Has anyone got an experience run func/certmaster/opensymbolic on Ubuntu Server? | 13:14 |
| VeeCount | tried google and lots of other stuff, but nothin seemed to be helpful | 13:16 |
| VeeCount | has anyone got hte clue? | 13:16 |
| Jeeves_ | VeeCount: What's that? | 13:20 |
| VeeCount | func stands for Fedora Unified Network Controller | 13:23 |
| VeeCount | it's some kinda handy tool to manage lots of nodes on yur lan | 13:24 |
| Jeeves_ | VeeCount: hmm, never heard of it | 13:25 |
| VeeCount | actually the idea was as follows, i've got about a dozen old machines and wanted to make them work as a cluster | 13:26 |
| VeeCount | looked into some solutions likkerrighed, cfengine and so on to automate the processes | 13:26 |
| VeeCount | recently i've come upon opensymbolic and it seemed to be the solution, but the manuals are very poor | 13:27 |
| qman__ | VeeCount, have you looked at UEC? | 13:27 |
| VeeCount | nope | 13:27 |
| VeeCount | what's that? | 13:27 |
| qman__ | Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud | 13:28 |
| qman__ | see if it meets your requirements, since it's going to be way easier to install on ubuntu than anything else would be | 13:28 |
| VeeCount | oh yes, sure, but the community frightened me saying that this solution is rather heavy | 13:28 |
| qman__ | well, it depends on what you want to run | 13:29 |
| VeeCount | the other issue that i have to keep in mind that the nodes are diskless/// | 13:29 |
| qman__ | UEC works well for VMs from what I gather, but if you just want to run a bunch of threads, might want to go with something more like a beowulf cluster | 13:29 |
| VeeCount | thanks qman__ i'll look into that | 13:32 |
| qman__ | I don't know about any of the tools you listed, but it would certainly be possible to set up a PXE boot image for beowulf cluster nodes | 13:33 |
| qman__ | I'm guessing those tools are supposed to simplify the process | 13:33 |
| VeeCount | yup, i have no trouble setting the pxe-boot | 13:34 |
| VeeCount | using nfs and tftp | 13:35 |
| qman__ | that area is pretty tough to search on, you have to cut through all the buzzwords and advertisements for real info | 13:37 |
| VeeCount | the machines are running fine, the thing i want to do is to consume their resources atogether to run a single VM | 13:37 |
| qman__ | but yeah, it basically comes down to exactly what you want to do | 13:37 |
| qman__ | a single VM? that's not really possible with anything I know of | 13:38 |
| VeeCount | google showed me such an exaple using xen | 13:38 |
| VeeCount | but it didn't seem to be very handy | 13:38 |
| VeeCount | i've tried out mpich, but the procecces im using are not very good parallelized | 13:39 |
| qman__ | you can distribute threads pretty easily, but running a VM across multiple machines has a lot of issues, especially regarding network latency | 13:39 |
| VeeCount | could you plaese clarify about distributing threads? | 13:40 |
| qman__ | in a beowulf style cluster, you set up all the nodes to share threads | 13:41 |
| qman__ | they share an NFS drive and balance processes across the hardware on your cluster | 13:41 |
| VeeCount | okay then, what tools should i look into for balancing processes? | 13:41 |
| qman__ | but any one process can only exist on one machine at a time | 13:42 |
| qman__ | so if your application doesn't have multiple processes, it won't really give you any advantage | 13:42 |
| qman__ | it behaves much like a machine with lots of processors in it | 13:42 |
| qman__ | but with more lag because of the network | 13:42 |
| VeeCount | im still working on threading my app, but behaving like a machine with lots of processor is quite suitable | 13:44 |
| VeeCount | actually perhaps is the decision im looking for | 13:44 |
| VeeCount | still int search for the tools | 13:44 |
| qman__ | I've been looking but I can't seem to find one that's very ubuntu centric | 13:45 |
| qman__ | I did a few years ago, but that's not much use now | 13:45 |
| VeeCount | if you're still interested, i can point on Kerrighed, but unfortunately it's not very stable | 13:46 |
| VeeCount | and the common problem i face is that when a single node crashes the whole process goes down, and no batch query tools are helpful | 13:47 |
| qman__ | everything that looks promising turns up missing | 13:53 |
| qman__ | this is the most useful thing I've found so far: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/beowulf-cluster-on-ubuntu-10-04-a-818999/#post4029508 | 13:55 |
| VeeCount | thanks again qman__, i've looked into it, but still it's mpich, at the moment i'm about to try UEC, greatful for your advise | 14:00 |
| VeeCount | bye | 14:00 |
| qman__ | good luck | 14:00 |
| VeeCount | hi! | 15:02 |
| VeeCount | qman__: I looked into UEC, and they say that Eucalyptus nodes are disk-intensive; I/O wait will likely be the performance bottleneck | 15:03 |
| VeeCount | so what do you think will it work on a diskless node? | 15:04 |
| discordianfish | hi | 15:05 |
| VeeCount | hi, discordianfish | 15:06 |
| uvirtbot | New bug: #606898 in postfix (main) "package postfix 2.7.0-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 75" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/606898 | 15:06 |
| discordianfish | i'm glad that i found a ubuntu server install cd but now i wonder: can i use it for network install too? looks like i can't change the package source to network or something like that :/ | 15:06 |
| discordianfish | i bet this it possible somehow | 15:07 |
| pickles | during install of lucid server, the virtual michine task installs KVM, right? | 15:07 |
| pickles | not Xen host (dom0)? | 15:07 |
| VeeCount | discordianfish: i've come upon http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/11/how-to-configure-pxe-network-booting-on-ubuntu-for-network-based-installations/ will it be helpful? | 15:08 |
| discordianfish | VeeCount: i just want to use the network as package source. that has nothing to do with pxe booting | 15:09 |
| discordianfish | guess than i'll just use debootstrap again | 15:10 |
| VeeCount | okay, so has anyone a clue on setting up UEC on diskless nodes | 15:12 |

| zermann | Hi,i have a machine with ubuntu 10.04 server. it has run well for 1 month, then when i reboot it halt just before booting ubuntu. it is not an hardware problem because with a live cd or another version of ubuntu (8.04) all run well. maybe is grub2 that halt the system? do you have any idea? | 18:54 |
| zermann | Today i reinstalled ubuntu 10.04, all was right untill i updated the kernel, maybe is thew new kernel? is there a way to know if this is the problem? | 18:56 |
| jpds | zermann: Boot into the old kernel? | 19:05 |
| zermann | jpds, it halt before grub2 display anything, is it possible that grub2 halt the system ? | 19:06 |
| jpds | Unlikely. | 19:06 |
| zermann | is there a log from grub2? | 19:06 |
| jpds | No. | 19:07 |
| jpds | What kind of machinen is it? | 19:07 |
| zermann | it is an AMD x2 4000 | 19:07 |

| tapas_ | Hi list I am having 2 webservers A--B on B a website is accessible as http://localhost:9090/portal from internet I want that to be accessible on my public domain name as www.mydomain.com/site so on A I have following vhost configuration http://pastebin.com/c1rb2C0r and on B I have following http://pastebin.com/PfZDxyYT | 20:22 |
| tapas_ | some how HTML is broken | 20:22 |
| tapas_ | please see if at A ProxyHTMLURlmap I used correctly | 20:22 |
| tapas_ | I am using Ubuntu 10.04 with KVM | 20:24 |
| tapas_ | \q | 20:46 |
| tapas_ | exit | 20:46 |
| zermann | hi, it is possible that ubuntu 10.04 server do not boot if system clock is set some hours earlier? | 21:25 |
| zermann | One more question, when i log in i get this stat: Memory usage: 0% but, if i see 'free -m' : -/+ buffers/cache: 380 3517. How is this possible? | 21:28 |
| pmatulis | zermann: i hope not, why? | 21:28 |
| zermann | pmatulis, it is a week that my system halt at boot start | 21:29 |
| zermann | but sometime is all ok | 21:29 |
| pmatulis | zermann: ok, but why do you mention the clock? | 21:29 |
| zermann | because when it doesn't boot i saw the clock 2 hours in the past | 21:30 |
| zermann | maybe is a battery problem but, the system do not boot | 21:30 |
| pmatulis | zermann: how many times did you see this happening? | 21:30 |
| zermann | every two or three days | 21:31 |
| zermann | i notice that because in the past two week there as been storm near my house so i had to halt and unplug the system | 21:32 |
| zermann | storms | 21:32 |
| zermann | sorry for my poor english | 21:32 |
| pmatulis | zermann: could set the right time and reboot a few times and then put a bad time, reboot, and see what happens? | 21:39 |
| pmatulis | zermann: i hope you are not proven right :-) | 21:40 |
| zermann | pmatulis, i just done that 5 minutes ago, it is not the problem i was wrong. | 21:45 |
| Jeeves_Moss | I'm having an issue with sending e-mail through my posfix/dovecot system from my WM5 device. I can get my mail over TLS, but I get a failure when I try to send. I've seen losts of posts of the same problem, but no one has seemed to be able to fix it | 21:45 |
| pmatulis | Jeeves_Moss: i guess wm5 device does not follow the smtp standards | 21:47 |
| Jeeves_Moss | pmatulis, is there a work around? I REALLY need to be abe to send from my PPC | 21:47 |
| pmatulis | Jeeves_Moss: you will need to increase logging level on smtp listener (master.cf) and post some logs | 21:48 |
| pmatulis | Jeeves_Moss: when the device tries to send | 21:48 |
| Jeeves_Moss | pmatulis, where in the master.cf file do I change the log level? | 21:49 |
| pmatulis | Jeeves_Moss: you may actually need to increase verbosity of the tls/sasl component. are you using saslauthd? | 21:50 |
| Jeeves_Moss | I think I am | 21:51 |
| pmatulis | Jeeves_Moss: see if you can start it in debug mode (-d maybe) | 21:51 |
| pmatulis | Jeeves_Moss: should say in man page | 21:51 |
| pmatulis | Jeeves_Moss: you should also determine if you can send w/o TLS | 21:52 |
| Jeeves_Moss | ok, one sec. I just have to finish this phone call | 21:52 |
| pmatulis | Jeeves_Moss: maybe it's a more basic problem (SMTP) | 21:52 |
| pmatulis | Jeeves_Moss: regardless, the logs should tell you what's up | 21:53 |
| SandGorgon | hey.. have you guys ever used the pure-python Lamson mail server ? I was actually hoping someone who had used it - it seems orders of magnitude simpler than anything else | 21:58 |
| Jeeves_Moss | pmatulis, ok, sorry, Fiance on the phone. better not hang up on here or my life is over. LOL Bridezilla attacks! | 22:06 |
