| harrison | hello | 03:06 |

| silentwhisper | hi | 03:07 |
| silentwhisper | everybody are busy | 03:08 |
| harrison | I would like suggesttions on what to install on a home server, I have the basics: apache, vsftp, samba, etc. what could be added to that? | 03:09 |
| silentwhisper | try mail server | 03:10 |
| silentwhisper | that's what im studing now | 03:10 |
| harrison | I think I have that installed, but ISPs... well they might not like mail trafic, and I don't really need a mail sever but thanks for the idea. | 03:12 |
| bogeyd6 | can i ask to restate harrison | 03:12 |
| harrison | yes I am looking for software to add to my server, I have the basics: apache, vsftp, samba, etc. | 03:13 |
| bogeyd6 | for what purpose | 03:13 |
| harrison | *slaps head* a home server. | 03:14 |
| bogeyd6 | how about a PVR | 03:14 |
| harrison | Personal video recorder? | 03:14 |
| bogeyd6 | yeah, for tv shows | 03:14 |
| bogeyd6 | http://www.mythbuntu.org/ | 03:15 |
| harrison | Office is a bit to far but I am thinking of using an older computer for that, set it by the tv. | 03:15 |
| harrison | That is what I would use. | 03:15 |
| harrison | Any other ideas? | 03:19 |
| harrison | Another question, What are cron jobs? | 03:21 |
| KurtKraut | harrison, have you checked http://tinyurl.com/yepp6ff already? | 03:23 |
| enav1 | hi people i want to see the ubuntu hardware blacklist pleas... but i dont know where it is | 03:23 |
| harrison | I don't randomly enter tinyurls but I will check it out. | 03:23 |
| KurtKraut | harrison, if you're using Windows, I'd agree with your procedure to avoid 'tinyurls'. | 03:24 |
| silentwhisper | sir if im using router and i have dynamic ip | 03:24 |
| silentwhisper | does it means im behind a proxy/nat | 03:24 |
| harrison | I wouldn't think so. | 03:25 |
| harrison | A dynamic IP is an ip that changes from time to time. | 03:25 |
| KurtKraut | silentwhisper, I agree with harrison | 03:26 |
| silentwhisper | how to determine if im behind proxy/nat? | 03:26 |
| harrison | First who is your ISP? | 03:27 |
| KurtKraut | silentwhisper, some proxies are configured in a 'transparent' way, meaning they're unreconizable. | 03:27 |
| harrison | Silent, what are you tring to do? | 03:29 |
| bogeyd6 | harrison, https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/index.html | 03:32 |
| harrison | thanks bogeyd6, I had a look at that before I guess I am going in the right direction. | 03:33 |
| harrison | Question: how do you/which log should I check to see who has loged on in the past? | 03:34 |
| harrison | my server IS accesibal via the world. | 03:35 |
| harrison | Anyone have questions? | 03:45 |
| harrison | Good night everyone. | 03:47 |
| silentwhisper | goodnight | 04:23 |
| silentwhisper | in postfix | 04:46 |
| silentwhisper | can we config to use hostname and domainname at once | 04:47 |
| silentwhisper | myorigin = $myhostname (default: send mail as "user@$myhostname") | 04:48 |
| silentwhisper | myorigin = $mydomain (probably desirable: "user@$mydomain") | 04:48 |
| silentwhisper | i want to setup my mailserver to receive and send through internet | 04:48 |
| bogeyd6 | !postfix | silentwhisper | 04:55 |
| ubottu | silentwhisper: postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer | 04:55 |
| silentwhisper | when i try to run | 04:58 |
| silentwhisper | su - fmaster | 04:58 |
| silentwhisper | 04:58 | |
| silentwhisper | i wont work | 04:58 |
| silentwhisper | i already installed postfix whis is it dont have /home/user/Maildir directory? | 04:59 |
| EvilPhoenix | you asked yesterday... | 05:00 |
| EvilPhoenix | did you get no answers? | 05:00 |
| silentwhisper | rtfm | 05:00 |
| silentwhisper | but i already did that i already run command to create directory but i was not there | 05:01 |
| EvilPhoenix | you tried in #postfix? | 05:02 |
| EvilPhoenix | if thats even the right channel... | 05:02 |
| silentwhisper | yes | 05:02 |
| EvilPhoenix | and? | 05:02 |
| silentwhisper | im currently at the channel now | 05:02 |
| sweetpi | EvilPhoenix: what about postfix? | 05:05 |
| EvilPhoenix | talk to silentwhisper | 05:05 |
| EvilPhoenix | he had the issue(s) | 05:05 |
| EvilPhoenix | sweetpi: ^ | 05:05 |
| EvilPhoenix | silentwhisper: if you're alive, ask your question again | 05:06 |
| EvilPhoenix | sweetpi: i can give you the logs of silentwhisper's question if you'd like | 05:06 |
| sweetpi | ok, msg them | 05:06 |
| EvilPhoenix | sent be advised it might be slow on sending a few lines | 05:07 |
| sweetpi | i didnt know this channel even existed :) | 05:07 |
| EvilPhoenix | HEH | 05:07 |
| EvilPhoenix | stupid caps | 05:07 |
| EvilPhoenix | now you do | 05:08 |
| EvilPhoenix | sweetpi: did you get the PM | 05:08 |
| sweetpi | yes, reading | 05:09 |
| * sweetpi doesnt think silentwhisper is a native english speaker | 05:10 | |
| sweetpi | its possible, but i dont understand what the problem is | 05:14 |
| EvilPhoenix | it seems from my interpretation... | 05:16 |
| EvilPhoenix | that he doesnt have a mail folder in his user's directory | 05:16 |
| EvilPhoenix | and doesnt know why | 05:16 |
| EvilPhoenix | perhaps he thinks postfix creates it automatically... | 05:16 |
| sweetpi | hmm.. all my installs keep mail in /var, even local mail. | 05:18 |
| sweetpi | anyway the users mail dir wouldnt normally be created until they received mail | 05:21 |
| sweetpi | i think hes away anyway | 05:22 |
| EvilPhoenix | *shrugs* | 05:22 |
| EvilPhoenix | or maybe his connection /died | 05:22 |
| silentwhisper | i receive mail /var/mail/edwin | 05:30 |
| silentwhisper | is it corect | 05:30 |
| silentwhisper | is it in the format of Maildir | 05:30 |
| * EvilPhoenix pokes sweetpi | 05:38 | |

| jetole | Hey guys. Does anyone know how I can limit how much RAM a process can use? | 14:30 |
| KurtKraut | jetole, I guess with the ulimit command you might do it | 14:30 |
| jetole | KurtKraut: I don't know how with ulimit. I know the -m option is ignored on Linux | 14:31 |
| KurtKraut | jetole, just for checking... why do you need that? | 14:35 |
| jetole | KurtKraut: My workstation in the office has 4 gigs though a 3 gig hardware limit via the motherboard and tends to run out of memory on a regular basis from say, if I leave the browser open and banshee and thunderbird, eventually one of them will use more then there is I won't even have enough to ctrl+alt+backspace X or ctrl+alt+f1 | 14:52 |
| jetole | and yes I know thats not server related (although I run many servers too) but it's also generic enough that if there is a way, then it applies to server and desktop | 14:53 |
| jetole | I'm asking in #kernel now | 14:53 |
| KurtKraut | jetole, there is certainly something very wrong in the scenario you've described. | 14:53 |
| KurtKraut | jetole, I do everything you mention in a 1 gig RAM machine and never experienced such thing. | 14:54 |
| KurtKraut | jetole, do you have a swap partition? | 14:54 |
| jetole | I should. Lemme ssh in and double check | 14:54 |
| jetole | KurtKraut: yes and no, it's not a partition but that shouldn't matter. It's a flat file (swap.dd) but according to the kernel devs, around the time 2.6 was released, a flat file is just as able as a partition | 14:56 |
| KurtKraut | jetole, the free -m command tells you that swap space is being used? | 14:56 |
| KurtKraut | jetole, do you keep track of the load average of this system? What is the load_avg number right before a crash? | 14:57 |
| pmatulis | jetole: how do you know the problem is due to a lack of memory? | 14:59 |
| pmatulis | jetole: maybe your pc is overheating, heatsink & airflow ok? | 15:01 |
| jetole | pmatulis: off the top of my head I can't remember. I have seen indicators in the past. I think it's when I was running conky and it showed the top memory using applications on my desktop and how much they were using and I saw something like banshee or chrome with >1G and memory at max before it crashed but it was just an off chance that I cought it | 15:01 |
| jetole | pmatulis: should be | 15:02 |
| jetole | It's a new PC, low profile actually but it's a dell too | 15:02 |
| jetole | I will double check the fans Monday but I know I have seen indicators of memory in the past | 15:02 |
| kaushal | hi | 15:24 |
| kaushal | is there a way to know what time is the system is up and running | 15:24 |
| kaushal | I do w command and it shows 07:22:50 up 2 days, 19:22 | 15:25 |
| kaushal | is there a better way to calculate the time since the server is up and running ? | 15:25 |
| kaushal | I mean time in hrs:mm:secs | 15:25 |
| internalkernel | I have a question regarding GeoIP and Vhosts in Apache... | 16:00 |
| internalkernel | I have two vhosts - one is allowing CA and US, and one only US - can I have two different allow variables? | 16:00 |
| internalkernel | or will one override the other? | 16:01 |
| internalkernel | to clarify... in apache.conf - I have Setenvif US and CA to AllowCountry | 16:02 |
| internalkernel | and then, I have a Setenvif US to SiteCountry - is this valid? | 16:03 |
| internalkernel | and the specific vhost configs reference the appropriate variable | 16:04 |
| LeeQ | quesion about server mirroring and database backups | 16:39 |
| LeeQ | I have main server and backup server, backup taked mysqldump every night | 16:40 |

| LeeQ | say main server goes down and things are added to the db on the backup server | 16:40 |
| LeeQ | what is the best way to reconcile | 16:40 |

| mcarse | can someone help me with an unbootable 10.04 server system? | 20:35 |
| mcarse | I applied a recent kernel update, and since then, it drops to "grub rescue" at boot. | 20:37 |
| mcarse | The system is running software raid1 | 20:37 |
| Jeeves_Moss | mcarse, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=544881 | 20:38 |
| mcarse | Grub rescue displays an error that "no such device" then displays the uuid | 20:40 |
| Jeeves_Moss | mcarse, then you need to grub search for /boot | 20:43 |
| mcarse | Jeeves_Moss: this appears to apply to grub 1, my system is running grub2 | 20:43 |
| mcarse | Jeeves_Moss: How do I do that? | 20:47 |

| mcarse | thank you Jeeves_Moss | 20:50 |
| mcarse | I think I have got it sorted out. | 20:50 |
| mcarse | Now i just need to figure out why I have problems like this every time I update the kernel | 20:51 |
| Jeeves_Moss | mcarse, it's not finding the proper UUID to update | 20:52 |
| mcarse | is there a config I have to adjust somewhere to fix that? | 20:52 |
| Jeeves_Moss | mcarse, sorry, I'm not sure. I've never had that issue | 20:54 |
