[01:05] <webPragmatist> RoyK: i got it going as an mta
[02:11] <john> Hi, Ubuntu server10.04, mpd up and running, external client access ok, but no local sound out put. how do i configure a sound card on this edition?
[02:32] <john> I have alsa installed. Is there a nice config or auutoconf for it?
[02:54] <silentwhisper> if im using dyndns
[02:54] <silentwhisper> does it means that im behind a proxy / nat?
[02:57] <silentwhisper> im using router does it mean im  behind nat?
[03:06] <harrison> hello
[03:07] <silentwhisper> hi
[03:08] <silentwhisper> everybody are busy
[03:09] <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?
[03:10] <silentwhisper> try mail server
[03:10] <silentwhisper> that's what im studing now
[03:12] <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
[03:13] <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
[03:14] <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
[03:15] <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.
[03:19] <harrison> Any other ideas?
[03:21] <harrison> Another question, What are cron jobs?
[03:23] <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.
[03:24] <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
[03:25] <harrison> I wouldn't think so.
[03:25] <harrison> A dynamic IP is an ip that changes from time to time.
[03:26] <KurtKraut> silentwhisper, I agree with harrison
[03:26] <silentwhisper> how to determine if im behind proxy/nat?
[03:27] <harrison> First who is your ISP?
[03:27] <KurtKraut> silentwhisper, some proxies are configured in a 'transparent' way, meaning they're unreconizable.
[03:29] <harrison> Silent, what are you tring to do?
[03:32] <bogeyd6> harrison, https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/index.html
[03:33] <harrison> thanks bogeyd6, I had a look at that before I guess I am going in the right direction.
[03:34] <harrison> Question: how do you/which log should I check to see who has loged on in the past?
[03:35] <harrison> my server IS accesibal via the world.
[03:45] <harrison> Anyone have questions?
[03:47] <harrison> Good night everyone.
[04:23] <silentwhisper>  goodnight
[04:46] <silentwhisper> in postfix
[04:47] <silentwhisper> can we config to use hostname and domainname at once
[04:48] <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
[04:55] <bogeyd6> !postfix | silentwhisper
[04:58] <silentwhisper> when i try to run
[04:58] <silentwhisper> su - fmaster
[04:58] <silentwhisper> mail
[04:58] <silentwhisper> i wont work
[04:59] <silentwhisper> i already installed postfix whis is it dont have /home/user/Maildir directory?
[05:00] <EvilPhoenix> you asked yesterday...
[05:00] <EvilPhoenix> did you get no answers?
[05:00] <silentwhisper> rtfm
[05:01] <silentwhisper> but i already did that i already run command to create directory but i was not there
[05:02] <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
[05:05] <sweetpi> EvilPhoenix: what about postfix?
[05:05] <EvilPhoenix> talk to silentwhisper
[05:05] <EvilPhoenix> he had the issue(s)
[05:05] <EvilPhoenix> sweetpi:  ^
[05:06] <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
[05:07] <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
[05:08] <EvilPhoenix> now you do
[05:08] <EvilPhoenix> sweetpi:  did you get the PM
[05:09] <sweetpi> yes, reading
[05:10]  * sweetpi doesnt think silentwhisper is a native english speaker
[05:14] <sweetpi> its possible, but i dont understand what the problem is
[05:16] <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...
[05:18] <sweetpi> hmm.. all my installs keep mail in /var, even local mail.
[05:21] <sweetpi> anyway the users mail dir wouldnt normally be created until they received mail
[05:22] <sweetpi> i think hes away anyway
[05:22] <EvilPhoenix> *shrugs*
[05:22] <EvilPhoenix> or maybe his connection /died
[05:30] <silentwhisper> i receive mail /var/mail/edwin
[05:30] <silentwhisper> is it corect
[05:30] <silentwhisper> is it in the format of Maildir
[05:38]  * EvilPhoenix pokes sweetpi
[07:17] <silentwhisper> is this correct?
[07:18] <silentwhisper> myorigin = /etc/mailname
[07:18] <silentwhisper> mailname value is mwit.no-ip.biz
[08:34] <sherr> silentwhisper: yes, that's fine. Or you can set it explicitly (rather than from a file)
[14:30] <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
[14:31] <jetole> KurtKraut: I don't know how with ulimit. I know the -m option is ignored on Linux
[14:35] <KurtKraut> jetole, just for checking... why do you need that?
[14:52] <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
[14:53] <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.
[14:54] <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
[14:56] <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?
[14:57] <KurtKraut> jetole, do you keep track of the load average of this system? What is the load_avg number right before a crash?
[14:59] <pmatulis> jetole: how do you know the problem is due to a lack of memory?
[15:01] <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
[15:02] <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
[15:24] <kaushal> hi
[15:24] <kaushal> is there a way to know what time is the system is up and running
[15:25] <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
[16:00] <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?
[16:01] <internalkernel> or will one override the other?
[16:02] <internalkernel> to clarify... in apache.conf - I have Setenvif US and CA to AllowCountry
[16:03] <internalkernel> and then, I have a Setenvif US to SiteCountry - is this valid?
[16:04] <internalkernel> and the specific vhost configs reference the appropriate variable
[16:39] <LeeQ> quesion about server mirroring and database backups
[16:40] <LeeQ> I have main server and backup server, backup taked mysqldump every night
[16:40] <LeeQ> dns points to backup server if main server is down
[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] <LeeQ> ?
[20:09] <Jeeves_Moss> how do I get my WM5 device to be able to send TLS STMP?  I've seen a lot of people posting requesting how to make it work, but no soulitions so far.
[20:35] <mcarse> can someone help me with an unbootable 10.04 server system?
[20:37] <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
[20:38] <Jeeves_Moss> mcarse, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=544881
[20:40] <mcarse> Grub rescue displays an error that "no such device" then displays the uuid
[20:43] <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
[20:47] <mcarse> Jeeves_Moss: How do I do that?
[20:48] <Jeeves_Moss> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[20:48] <Jeeves_Moss> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Command Line and Rescue Mode
[20:50] <mcarse> thank you Jeeves_Moss
[20:50] <mcarse> I think I have got it sorted out.
[20:51] <mcarse> Now i just need to figure out why I have problems like this every time I update the kernel
[20:52] <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?
[20:54] <Jeeves_Moss> mcarse, sorry, I'm not sure.  I've never had that issue
[20:55] <mcarse> Jeeves_Moss: thanks
