[00:12] <EvilPhoenix> and I dont use postfix
[00:12] <silentwhisper> what do you use?
[00:13]  * EvilPhoenix states he does not use postfix, hell he doesnt even know what postfix is
[00:14] <silentwhisper> my postfix has no maildir directory

[00:21] <silentwhisper> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/SDeqcVZy
[00:27] <ScottK> silentwhisper: I think you need to read man 8 local (also at http://www.postfix.org/local.8.html)
[00:32] <silentwhisper> what is the purpose of mx record?
[00:33] <skydrome> silentwhisper, try #postfix
[00:34] <silentwhisper> thank you
[01:31] <RoyK> Ubuntu surprises me a little - a 24 core box running with a load of 25 or so hardly uses time for sys
[01:31] <RoyK> all in all - works
[01:46] <isw> Is anyone familure with or have documentation on switching from DHCP to static IP address on ubuntu 10.04?
[02:19] <qman__> isw, man interfaces
[02:29] <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
[02:30] <qman__> I also noticed that early on it lists a whole bunch of old packages that aren't installed, and the log says "skipping"
[02:33] <pmatulis> qman__: bad problem for a friday night
[02:34] <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
[02:35] <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'
[02:36] <qman__> comes up empty
[02:37] <pmatulis> qman__: what about PPAs?  using any?
[02:38] <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?
[02:39] <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
[02:40] <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
[02:41] <qman__> hmm
[02:41] <pmatulis> oh, maybe you have -proposed enabled
[02:43] <qman__> I didn't check that the latest version existed for -386
[02:43] <qman__> just that there was a -386 in lucid
[02:44] <qman__> that could very well be the problem
[02:45] <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
[02:47] <qman__> looks like it's also in updates
[02:47] <qman__> so I could probably upgrade from the alternate CD and then update
[03:08] <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)...
[03:25] <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?
[03:28] <overrider> Ok its rsyslog now. jeez
[04:42] <Marco2> :-D
[05:38] <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)
[05:39] <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
[05:40] <ideaman> sendmail is an mta...
[05:40] <webPragmatist> right… well
[05:41] <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
[05:42] <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
[05:43] <webPragmatist> for php to user?
[05:43] <webPragmatist> use*
[05:44] <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
[05:45] <ideaman> i'm fairly sure postfix will work fine with php
[05:45] <ideaman> like 99%
[05:47] <ideaman> http://forums.opensuse.org/archives/sf-archives/archives-network-internet/330706-sendmail-postfix-php-ini.html
[05:48] <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
[05:49] <ideaman> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=170309
[05:50] <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?
[05:52] <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
[05:53] <webPragmatist> bleh i got it
[05:54] <webPragmatist> ideaman: okay so i'm going through this postfix installer… should i put the fqdn if it's just used as outgoing mail?
[05:55] <ideaman> mhm.. probably, since otherwise local mail probably won't be handled properly
[05:58] <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
[05:59] <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
[06:00] <ideaman> for simplicity using a module that just supports SMTP, and using your ISP's MTA may be the best choice
[06:25] <scar> why when i run 'apt-get upgrade' is the linux kernel held back? how to install that update?
[06:29] <ideaman> apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:34] <scar> ideaman, i see. thanks
[06:42] <webPragmatist> ideaman: yea i prefer to run the mta
[06:43] <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
[06:44] <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
[06:45] <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
[06:46] <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
[07:26] <ruben23> hi guys i planned to setup a mail server- with 60 users, any server specs you can recommend for this..?
[08:29] <Nafallo> ruben23: Pentium 75 or higher should be okay.
[08:34] <silentwhisper> any one here patient enough to guide me in setting up postfix
[08:34] <silentwhisper> im totally noob
[08:35] <silentwhisper> actually i already installed it
[08:35] <silentwhisper> need help in troubleshooting
[08:44] <SandGorgon> anybody running hi guys.. what are some of the cheaper/free clickstream (user-path navigational analysis tools) that I can use with nginx ?
[08:45] <SandGorgon> silentwhisper, just a suggestion if you are purely looking for a mail solution - check out Lamson mail server. Written in pure python
[08:51] <silentwhisper> no downtime? and easy to setup?
[09:36] <overrider> How to get a list of services that startup during boot?
[11:01] <SandGorgon> silentwhisper, any success with mail ?
[11:12] <silentwhisper> no not yet still reading manuals
[11:12] <silentwhisper> about postfix
[11:13] <silentwhisper> whew
[12:11] <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 "
[12:26] <tarvid> foxiness, we build our own and could build what you need
[12:28] <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
[12:29] <foxiness> with no OS installed " why on earth Dell do not write a line about ubuntu server! "
[12:30] <tarvid> I find it more cost-effective to simply buy the parts, assemble and load
[12:31] <tarvid> servers come in flavors depending on purpose but the general purpose is to shovel data from the hard disk to an Ethernet port
[12:33] <tarvid> in general, one is better off with two servers than one expensive server
[12:34] <tarvid> speculating on the relationship between Dell and Ubuntu is not fruitful
[12:41] <foxiness> tarvid, I liked the idea " DIY " , will be a new experience for me
[12:45] <tarvid> http://www.ls.net/content/reference-windows-server-upgrade was for a Windows client
[12:48] <tarvid> Some prices are down, Windows Server is unnecessary, might be more useful to build 2 instead of the eSata backup
[14:35] <VeeCount> hiall!
[14:37] <VeeCount> i've just installed Ubuntu Cloud Controller and there are some things that make me confused: dhcp and dns servers have been installed, but i have those on another server, will eucalyptus or something crash if i deinstall these services?
[14:40] <VeeCount> do i have to make some special configuration of the existing dhcpd so the cloud could work properly?
[14:41] <VeeCount> again, the apache server has been installed, can i use nginx instead for examle?
[14:41] <VeeCount> anyone alive here on saturday? =)
[14:45] <VeeCount> and netstat tells me that there are over 200 connections established like this tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:9001          127.0.0.1:53947         ESTABLISHED
[14:45] <VeeCount> looks scary =)
[15:28] <andyltm> How can I determine what is using all the memory on my ubuntu-server?
[19:01] <ruben23> any application mail that is ready na dhandy to deploy.
[19:02] <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...
[19:03] <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 ;)
[19:04] <dominicdinada> RoyK: how about this i pastebin the errors... and tell you about how the update 2 days ago remapped the drives ???
[19:06] <RoyK> dominicdinada: sure, but we need details to help. something like 'can someone help me?' doesn't say much about the problems
[19:07] <dominicdinada> i do believe i detailed everything going on..... now to show u how strict my config is........
[19:08] <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...
[19:09] <RoyK> dominicdinada: for a start, pastebin smb.conf and tell us what you have changed, and perhaps, maybe, someone can help
[19:10] <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
[19:12] <dominicdinada> RoyK: http://pastebin.com/k2yKZgV3
[19:14] <RoyK> that's the shortest smb.conf I've ever seen :þ
[19:14] <dominicdinada> i said i wasnt posting the whole thing...
[19:15] <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
[19:16] <dominicdinada> RoyK: all the info u need has been given, Thanks for wasting my time. Ignored
[19:16] <RoyK> lol
[20:26] <ruben23> hi any directory service for ubuntu desktop like 100 units.

[21:00] <webPragmatist> how can i find out what ip postfix is using to send outgoing mail
[21:29] <Maletor> I want to smash my volume group and all lvms in it. So I guess
[21:29] <Maletor>                  this means I have to boot from live usb and mount /dev/md1 ?
[21:29] <Maletor>                  Then chroot ? Then delete the lvm then the vg then remove from
[21:29] <Maletor>                  fstab? Only thing is I'm confused about the chroot...
[21:30] <Maletor> (without line breaks) I want to smash my volume group and all lvms in it. So I guess this means I have to boot from live usb and mount /dev/md1 ? Then chroot ? Then delete the lvm then the vg then remove from fstab? Only thing is I'm confused about the chroot...
[23:33] <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
