| silentwhisper | what is the purpose of mx record? | 00:32 |
| skydrome | silentwhisper, try #postfix | 00:33 |
| silentwhisper | thank you | 00:34 |

| isw | Is anyone familure with or have documentation on switching from DHCP to static IP address on ubuntu 10.04? | 01:46 |
| qman__ | isw, man interfaces | 02:19 |
| qman__ | I'm having trouble trying to upgrade one of my servers to lucid from hardy, it says "Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.'", but I can't figure out what packages are causing the problem. Here's the full logs from the failed upgrade: http://pastebin.com/unNUbvwh | 02:29 |
| qman__ | I also noticed that early on it lists a whole bunch of old packages that aren't installed, and the log says "skipping" | 02:30 |
| pmatulis | qman__: bad problem for a friday night | 02:33 |
| qman__ | yeah, it's not urgent, just had some time and decided to give it a go | 02:34 |
| pmatulis | qman__: was hardy all up to date before the upgrade? | 02:34 |
| qman__ | yes | 02:34 |
| qman__ | double checked and even rebooted just before | 02:35 |
| pmatulis | qman__: are you holding/pinning any packages? | 02:35 |
| qman__ | I didn't set any, where do I check to make sure? | 02:35 |
| pmatulis | try 'dpkg --get-selections | grep hold' | 02:35 |
| qman__ | comes up empty | 02:36 |
| pmatulis | qman__: what about PPAs? using any? | 02:37 |
| qman__ | nope | 02:38 |
| qman__ | and I'm fairly sure I didn't compile anything from source, either | 02:38 |
| pmatulis | qman__: how did you perform the upgrade? | 02:38 |
| qman__ | if I did, it would probably show up in those logs, right? | 02:38 |
| qman__ | sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 02:39 |
| pmatulis | ah | 02:39 |
| pmatulis | development | 02:39 |
| qman__ | well, do-release-upgrade doesn't work yet | 02:39 |
| qman__ | since 10.04.1 isn't out yet | 02:39 |
| pmatulis | i don't understand | 02:40 |
| kklimonda | qman__: may be a transitory problem with some kernel update in lucid | 02:40 |
| qman__ | without the -d, I get no updates available | 02:40 |
| pmatulis | why do you need 10.04.1 to upgrade to 10.04? | 02:40 |
| kklimonda | qman__: linux-image-2.6.32-24-386 is still in lucid-proposed | 02:40 |
| qman__ | hmm | 02:41 |
| pmatulis | oh, maybe you have -proposed enabled | 02:41 |
| qman__ | I didn't check that the latest version existed for -386 | 02:43 |
| qman__ | just that there was a -386 in lucid | 02:43 |
| qman__ | that could very well be the problem | 02:44 |
| qman__ | I really ought to just scrap the thing and get something newer, but it just won't die | 02:45 |
| qman__ | hard to argue with that | 02:45 |
| qman__ | looks like it's also in updates | 02:47 |
| qman__ | so I could probably upgrade from the alternate CD and then update | 02:47 |
| A-KO | I upgraded to Karmic from Jaunty and it seems that my apache ssl site broke--and I can't figure out why....I hadn't made any changes to the files, and I'm pretty sure I had the upgrade not make any changes to conf files......I've had a few things it spit out to me, like Can't find a certificate (even though it's there)... | 03:08 |
| overrider | Ufw logs port scans and such to ufw.log, but they also appear in /var/log/messages. I cannot find syslog.conf, so what does Ubuntu use for logging and where can i control what gets logged to where? | 03:25 |
| overrider | Ok its rsyslog now. jeez | 03:28 |

| ideaman | anyone around that can help me figure out how to get my first UEC running? .. i'm not having any luck after two days of trying | 05:38 |
| ideaman | my availability scan continues to show 0000/0000 for all instance sizes | 05:38 |
| ideaman | I've tried a 2 physical machine setup, and now today tried a single machine setup (just for dev/testing) | 05:38 |
| ideaman | i tried the eucalyptus channel, but it seems dead | 05:39 |
| webPragmatist | hrm | 05:39 |
| webPragmatist | whats the preferred mta for use with php / sendmail | 05:39 |
| ideaman | sendmail is an mta... | 05:40 |
| webPragmatist | right… well | 05:40 |
| webPragmatist | i think i was using exim now | 05:41 |
| webPragmatist | before* | 05:41 |
| ideaman | exim or postfix are good | 05:41 |
| ideaman | sendmail is more mta than most people need, and one of the harder ones to configure | 05:41 |
| webPragmatist | hrm | 05:42 |
| webPragmatist | uhm | 05:42 |
| ideaman | i haven't setup a sendmail mta for years now.. mostly postfix myself | 05:42 |
| webPragmatist | does each mta implement the command sendmail though | 05:42 |
| webPragmatist | for php to user? | 05:43 |
| webPragmatist | use* | 05:43 |
| webPragmatist | i don't really care which mta i use… sendmail looked complicated like you said and by default didn't seem to allow localhost sending through any domain | 05:44 |
| ideaman | i'm fairly sure postfix will work fine with php | 05:45 |
| ideaman | like 99% | 05:45 |
| ideaman | http://forums.opensuse.org/archives/sf-archives/archives-network-internet/330706-sendmail-postfix-php-ini.html | 05:47 |
| webPragmatist | well okay my next question | 05:48 |
| webPragmatist | i tried to purge sendmail … and it left a bunch of crap | 05:48 |
| webPragmatist | how do i delete that crap | 05:48 |
| ideaman | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=170309 | 05:49 |
| ideaman | post #4 | 05:50 |
| webPragmatist | why doesn't purge sendmail remove the stupid dependencies | 05:50 |
| ideaman | are you using aptitude or apt-get? | 05:50 |
| ideaman | aptitude will generally offer to remove unrequired dependencies... apt-get you probably need to use apt-get autoremove, if it recognizes the un-needed packages | 05:52 |
| webPragmatist | bleh i got it | 05:53 |
| webPragmatist | ideaman: okay so i'm going through this postfix installer… should i put the fqdn if it's just used as outgoing mail? | 05:54 |
| ideaman | mhm.. probably, since otherwise local mail probably won't be handled properly | 05:55 |
| ideaman | you don't actually need to run an MTA on your server... you could follow what that other post said, and use the PHP Pear::Mail package and set it up to use SMTP instead | 05:58 |
| ideaman | setting up your own MTA may provide unwanted issues such as a) configuration is difficult if you don't setup MTA's on a regular basis b) your IP can be black-listed in SPAMCOP lists, etc | 05:59 |
| ideaman | c) security issues | 05:59 |
| ideaman | for simplicity using a module that just supports SMTP, and using your ISP's MTA may be the best choice | 06:00 |
| scar | why when i run 'apt-get upgrade' is the linux kernel held back? how to install that update? | 06:25 |
| ideaman | apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:29 |
| scar | ideaman, i see. thanks | 06:34 |
| webPragmatist | ideaman: yea i prefer to run the mta | 06:42 |
| webPragmatist | mainly because our mail server is about as reliable as … eh something | 06:43 |
| webPragmatist | I swear I used exim before i think and got less flack … now i have messages stuck in the queue | 06:43 |
| webPragmatist | Jul 24 00:40:37 new357715 postfix/smtp[1306]: connect to mydomain.mxlogic.net:25: Connection refused | 06:44 |
| webPragmatist | is it trying to send outgoing to an smtp? i'm confused | 06:44 |
| ideaman | yes, sounds like its trying to send an email (maybe a failed delivery notice?) to mydomain.mxlogic.net | 06:45 |
| ideaman | mhm, YOUR MTA is trying to contact the MTA on mydomain.mxlogic.net | 06:45 |
| ideaman | if mydomain.mxlogic.net is your server, or the fqdn you used in one of your config files, that could be your own machine its trying to contact | 06:46 |
| ideaman | without realizing its one in the same machine | 06:46 |
| ideaman | anotherwords it doesn't think its local email | 06:46 |

| foxiness | is it possible that i find a store to sell servers with ready made ubuntu-server edition? " i have checked hp dell ibm website and more " | 12:11 |
| tarvid | foxiness, we build our own and could build what you need | 12:26 |
| tarvid | generic servers are easy to build, maybe all you need is support | 12:28 |
| foxiness | tarvid, now i'm in the dell website , i try to customize my server | 12:28 |
| foxiness | with no OS installed " why on earth Dell do not write a line about ubuntu server! " | 12:29 |
| tarvid | I find it more cost-effective to simply buy the parts, assemble and load | 12:30 |
| tarvid | servers come in flavors depending on purpose but the general purpose is to shovel data from the hard disk to an Ethernet port | 12:31 |
| tarvid | in general, one is better off with two servers than one expensive server | 12:33 |
| tarvid | speculating on the relationship between Dell and Ubuntu is not fruitful | 12:34 |
| foxiness | tarvid, I liked the idea " DIY " , will be a new experience for me | 12:41 |
| tarvid | http://www.ls.net/content/reference-windows-server-upgrade was for a Windows client | 12:45 |
| tarvid | Some prices are down, Windows Server is unnecessary, might be more useful to build 2 instead of the eSata backup | 12:48 |

| VeeCount | do i have to make some special configuration of the existing dhcpd so the cloud could work properly? | 14:40 |

| dominicdinada | need a hand with samba all of a sudden after the update 2 days ago my samba server isnt working, a check of the results shows that now it is erroring on a few things such as the user/pass files etc... | 19:02 |
| RoyK | ruben23: see the server guide https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html | 19:03 |
| RoyK | dominicdinada: pastebin your config and give detailed info about the environment, and perhaps someone can help ;) | 19:03 |
| dominicdinada | RoyK: how about this i pastebin the errors... and tell you about how the update 2 days ago remapped the drives ??? | 19:04 |
| RoyK | dominicdinada: sure, but we need details to help. something like 'can someone help me?' doesn't say much about the problems | 19:06 |
| dominicdinada | i do believe i detailed everything going on..... now to show u how strict my config is........ | 19:07 |
| RoyK | dominicdinada: you haven's said what changes you have made, not said what sort of samba config you have, you have merely said it doesn't work... | 19:08 |
| RoyK | dominicdinada: for a start, pastebin smb.conf and tell us what you have changed, and perhaps, maybe, someone can help | 19:09 |
| dominicdinada | RoyK: instead of wasting the time typing and telling me what i havent done ReRead that i wrote that when updated 2 days ago the update forced me to remapped the hard drives.... etc | 19:10 |
| dominicdinada | and ill finish getting the config and log pastebinned | 19:10 |
| dominicdinada | RoyK: http://pastebin.com/k2yKZgV3 | 19:12 |
| RoyK | that's the shortest smb.conf I've ever seen :þ | 19:14 |
| dominicdinada | i said i wasnt posting the whole thing... | 19:14 |
| RoyK | well, I have no idea. anyway, if showing your smb.conf file is a security threat, then something is terribly fucked up with your systems. | 19:15 |
| RoyK | so, you're on your own | 19:15 |
| dominicdinada | RoyK: all the info u need has been given, Thanks for wasting my time. Ignored | 19:16 |

| RoyK | webPragmatist: postfix will, by default, try to use dns lookups to send mail to other places. if you need it to pass it through a relay host, configure a smart relay host | 23:33 |
