[00:00] Hopsa: Why do you think all of Ubuntu server is my personal problem? [00:00] I agree it's bad, just not that I'm required to be the one that fixes it. [00:01] You tried to defend "n0a1ias" and then you started talking to me. [00:02] n0a1ias is at best a bot at worst a failed experiment to code a bot. [00:02] what? [00:02] no [00:02] im not a bot [00:02] 1/3 = ? [00:03] 1 sec [00:03] ok [00:03] 0.3333333333 [00:03] repeating [00:04] im sorry i was mean, but wow.

[00:18] yea [00:18] unfortunitly [00:21] I feel that some shouldnt be here at all given that regard and respect it deserves. Do you require new staff ? [00:25] Its very important to care. Am i right ? === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [00:58] ScottK: Correct me if im wrong, but arent you a member of ubuntu and you just said that you dont give a shit about servers in ubuntu but are located in #ubuntu-server ? /What kind of "member are you" ? [00:58] Ahhh.. Hopsa. A known troll. [01:00] Really ? Please provide intel on this ? [01:01] Lets see.. moatbuilder, Dionysos, Manjula, Ballefjon, Jusfication, Melkerscrollan, even GayAnankePsi. [01:01] What ? [01:02] Always coming from that VERY specific IP you're on now, plus ip-*-*-179-93.dialup.ice.net [01:02] Psi-Jack: you forgot bermanrules [01:02] [Hopsa] anthony.freenode.net :Irvine, CA, USA [01:02] * [Hopsa] is connecting from *@h156n2fls32o256.telia.com 81.231.133.156 [01:02] IdleOne: I haven't logged that one yet apparently. [01:02] ??? [01:03] psi-jack: ? [01:03] Cut the crap, troll. [01:04] Thanks then i guess. How rude. [01:04] Anyway. [01:05] I found an issue with Ubuntu 10.04's lsb/init-functions that might should be looked into. Basically when using status_of_proc -p PIDFILE DAEMON, it passes it to pidofproc which cares nothing for DAEMON if -p PIDFILE is given so if the PIDFILE doesn't exist it returns rc=4 instead of checking the pidof DAEMON and determining if it's actually running regardless of the pidfile. [01:06] Kinda breaks LSB a bit by returning rc=4 when it could in fact return 0 or 3 as expected. [01:08] PIDFILE=`cat Location_Of_Pidfile` has worked the best and is the recommended aquireing of PIDS for programs [01:08] Hopsa: Shut it already. [01:09] My fix for it was to alter line 94 of lsb/init-functions to: if [ -x /bin/pidof -a -n "$1" ]; then -- So if DAEMON is passed to it, it assumes since it's already shifted $OPTIN, that it at least has a daemon name. [01:10] That whole check for $specified is really kinda lame. ;) [01:12] * Hopsa Has nothing to say and i bet your question will go unanswered.

[01:23] okay that was not required , but yet .. [01:23] synaptic means you're running X, which means you're not running a server. [01:24] Or, if you are, you're stupid crazy for running X on a server. [01:24] ? [01:25] psi is trolling [01:25] No, Hopsa, you still are.

I only have a couple issues left to resolve with my pacemaker + drbd + dlm + clvmd + IPaddr2 + iSCSI stuff. [01:50] Heyall, Does anybody know of a good tutorial on setting Postfix with Ubuntu 10.04? The ones at help.ubuntu.com are way way too wordy and complicated. [01:51] and, what exactly are you trying to do with postfix? [01:51] http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html [01:51] biodegabriel: And https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix is too wordy and complicated? [01:51] thx Hopsa! [01:51] biodegabriel: Np! [01:52] Psi-Jack: I was using this one "https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/postfix.html" and it started explaining stuff about paying Certificate Authorities to certify you... I was like... WTF?! [01:53] That looks about the same thing. [01:53] Still.. Not very complicated, compared to past documentation basic guides. :p [01:54] Psi-Jack: Step 2 sends you to another page where they lecture you on certiifcates. [01:54] Which you don't have to follow that part. :p [01:55] Psi-Jack: Yeah, but the "note"s come after the instructions. It's totally a-linear. Not what I need in instructions/tutorials. [01:55] Instead, the alternative, creating a self-signed certficiate, or flat-out skipping the sections 2-4 [01:55] Psi-Jack: Want to setup my Postfix install for me? [01:55] Nope [01:56] I want you to RTFM and follow it as it's written because that guide is actually really fricken nice. :) [01:56] Psi-Jack: Nice for people who've installed Postfix 12 times before. Not for n00bs like me. [01:57] Actually, it's exactly for "n00bs" like you. [01:57] Psi-Jack: How many users pay for certified certificates? [01:58] biodegabriel: Millions. However you don't need to get a certified certificate, or even follow the steps 2-4, as I've said already. [01:58] Psi-Jack: If only you were sitting beside me ten minutes ago... [01:58] You wouldn't want that. ;) [01:59] I uses a sheleighly on my students. ;) [02:00] Shenanigan ? === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [02:21] New bug: #623144 in chkrootkit (main) "chkutmp assert failure: *** stack smashing detected ***: ./chkutmp terminated" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/623144 [02:21] A very funny game i played --- Monkey Bubble --- Absolutely love it, check it out!

[02:34] I just installed 10.04 server. One partition is mounted on installation as type ntfs in fstab. Is there any reason not to use ntfs-3g? [02:37] biodegabriel: use dpkg to query what's installed or just look for the sendmail binary [02:37] pmatulis: thx [02:37] biodegabriel: 'dpkg -l *sendmail*' or 'which sendmail' [02:38] respectively [02:38] pmatulis: i was typing 'sendmail which'. LOL [02:38] hmmm, a sendmail witch, nasty thing [02:50] biodegabriel: ls /usr/sbin/sendmail [02:50] Install sendmail-cf if you intend to use it. [02:51] Hopsa: cool [02:51] :) [03:37] hi everybody. my server 8.04 wont reboot anymore. i give it a reboot or shutdown -r now and just nothing happens... i get the message that it will reboot but nothing [03:38] anyone running squid on 10.04? [03:38] which log should i look at? [03:39] hi guys! anyone knows if "setfacl" works on ubuntu? [03:41] WinstonSmith: I would urge you to upgrade because ive seen indications on that 8.04 isnt prioritized anymore. An odd decition, but nevertheless perhaps a fact. [03:43] WinstonSmith: If you run servers and they work ok, then upgrading atm isnt a good option if you rely on a dhcp server as the one in Ubuntu Lucid isnt working as far as i can tell. [03:43] Hopsa, thx for responding. the server belongs to a friend of mine and runs a website blog etc and he does not want to upgrade without me being there and thats 3000 km away :( [03:43] httpd is ok [03:43] in Lucid [03:44] yes but can you tell me anything about my question plz? [03:44] 8.04 server will receive security fixes and critical fixes until April 2013 [03:45] cause i just upgraded the kernel and then tried a "reboot" (uptime was 100 days) and it just doesnt reboot [03:45] which log this kind of command would be logged to? [03:45] yes 8.04 is LTS thats why we chose it [03:46] WinstonSmith: I do know that one of my friends Ubuntu-8.04 Firefox stopped working. Perhaps due to an upgrade he did, but the result was he had no browser anymore. "ns_loginit()" problem, possibly due to different versions of xulrunnel. [03:47] "shutdown -h now" ? [03:47] Hopsa, yes but im talking about a headless server no GUI or FF [03:47] "shutdown -r now" ? [03:47] -r Requests that the system be rebooted after it has been brought [03:47] down. [03:48] Hopsa, as i said above "shutdown -h now" or reboot produce the message that system is going down for reboot and then nothing happens [03:48] reboot just being an alias to "shutdown -h now" [03:48] Yep [03:49] or ... -r now [03:49] i have no entry in dmesg or /var/log/messages related to my reboot try [03:49] -h means shut down or (halt) [03:49] oh yeah typo sry [03:49] np [03:50] So, nothing happens ? [03:50] is there any other log that i could look at ... this behavior is really strange [03:50] also check /var/log/secure [03:51] the machine had a load of 3x for weeks cause we had a runaway msql and a gameserver who ate all resources ... maybe related to that? [03:51] lol [03:52] i have no /var/log/secure [03:52] is there a way to see how you're doing on disc space on VPS systems in openvz? [03:52] ls /var/log [03:52] yes i just moved from portugal to germany so i wasnt really on top of things ... no internet [03:52] some dists call it "security" etc [03:52] yes i know [03:53] reboot it and see if setjmp will work correctly then. [03:53] nothing with that name around [03:54] does anyone run squid on ubuntu 10.04 [03:54] Yep [03:55] Hey all, What do I do when a package I'm trying to install can't be found? Do I try another source? http://pastie.org/1121778 [03:57] dschuett: squid-2.7STABLE7 [03:57] Hopsa: does it run ok? [03:58] i can't stop start or reload, i get this: reload: Unknown instance: [03:58] Yes, but watch out for the switch to Squid 3. Then you must remove acl "all" because its been built in. [03:58] For some unknown reason. [03:59] ah, ok thanks for the heads up [03:59] Np. Stop it then start it... ? [03:59] Hopsa: when i do a squid stop...i get: squid is already running! [03:59] same with start and reload [04:00] Hmm, hmm... [04:00] killall -9 squid [04:00] if i do this: /etc/init.d/squid reload stop or start i get unknown instance [04:01] it could have a lingering .lock file in /var/lock/squid.lock or so [04:01] Perhaps due to a powerfailure or so [04:02] Hopsa: that killed it...i was able to start it, but on squid stop or reload it says "squid is already running!" [04:02] are you on ubuntu 10.04? [04:02] Yes, i have one of those running beside me [04:02] anyone else an idea why shutdown -r now does not work anymore? [04:03] damn, i googled the error, and a lot of people are having this issue...but no solutions [04:03] you tried shutdown -h? [04:03] er [04:03] nevermind [04:04] ah to restart [04:04] one sec [04:04] dschuett: Try to start and stop squid manually and see if its the scripts that call squid the wrong way. [04:04] call = try to start [04:04] EvilPhoenix, i have to reboot the server is offsite ~3000km away :| [04:05] I wonder if winston could signal the init process to make a reboot somehow... [04:06] shutdown -r worked for me on both my servers [04:06] Hopsa: not sure how to do what you are asking [04:06] not sure if its just your system [04:06] WinstonSmith: ^ [04:07] Init should have a process id of "1". Does it have that winston ? [04:07] EvilPhoenix, the server is running fine for 2.5 years. every 2 month or so i make all the updates and reboot. never had a single problem wiith it rocksolid :) [04:07] hopsa 1 sec [04:08] yes it does [04:08] dschuett: Your scripts try to start and stop servers one way, perhaps they are not doing it correctly. Try stopping squid and then starting it manually. "squid -k start" maybe (cant remeber atm) [04:10] squid -k reconfigure | rotate | shutdown | interrupt | kill | debug | check | [04:10] parse [04:11] squid -k shutdown && squid [04:11] k, did that [04:11] squid -k shutdown && squid || echo "I have failed to stop and start squid" [04:11] Worked ok ? [04:11] then id suspect the sysinit script [04:12] yeah, it killed it [04:12] and started ok ? [04:12] just try squid start? [04:12] k [04:12] says squid is already running [04:13] any easy way to upgrade to 3.0? [04:16] Hopsa: Do you know what I'm doing wrong here? http://pastie.org/1121802 [04:17] dschuett: use the debian versions [04:17] checking [04:17] isnt itr libsasl ? ... use a "*" if unsure [04:18] biodegabriel, do you have all the repos enabled? [04:18] itr/it [04:18] bbiaw [04:18] cause my apt-cache gives me libgsasl7 - GNU SASL library [04:19] WinstonSmith: here are my repos: http://pastie.org/1121808 [04:22] biodegabriel: just what are you trying to do?

[04:33] i give it a reboot or shutdown -r now and just nothing happens... i get the message that it will reboot but nothing [04:33] no entry in dmesg or /var/log/messages [04:33] sorry pmatulis, i'm doing something wrong. is this the right command? http://pastie.org/1121824 [04:33] WinstonSmith: anything in the logs? [04:33] no entry in dmesg or /var/log/messages [04:34] is there any other log you could point me to? [04:34] biodegabriel: your're thrashing, please stop [04:34] WinstonSmith: type 'dmesg' [04:34] thrashing? [04:35] WinstonSmith: "reboot -f" ? [04:35] force [04:35] Hopsa, ok will try that [04:35] biodegabriel: answer my question re discrepency between your sources.list file and the error output [04:37] pmatulis: i was using another source cause i tried 4 other ones and they all said that the package couldn't be found. should i edit my sources list everytime i want to try a different source? [04:37] biodegabriel: just stop thrashing like that. use the official mirrors [04:37] Hopsa, thats seems to have helped :D. i have to wait a bit now to see because it will fsck at boot and has over 2 TB so takes some time [04:38] pmatulis: what are the official mirrors? i got my mirrors from this list https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors [04:38] Hopsa, pmatulis thank you for your time & have a nice day (or night whereever you are) [04:38] WinstonSmith: May the force be with you, always! ...

[09:19] morning..i've a updated ubuntu install, i have to let my friend download the updates from my pc instead of archived..cause we have atm slow internet.. apt-mirror when installed downloads the full repositories right? [09:20] alex88: you're probably looking for something like apt-cacher or approx [09:22] joschi: what about just copy /var/cache/apt/archived? [09:22] *archives [09:23] alex88: you could do that [09:23] nice..i think is the faster way..then when synaptic tryies to update find there the packages..or i have to do some cache refresh or something similar to make it find those? === rmk_ is now known as rmk [10:31] New bug: #625740 in quagga (main) "Sync quagga 0.99.17-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/625740 [10:35] mmmm quagga === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === Cyber_Rock1 is now known as Cyber_Rock [13:51] New bug: #625798 in tickcount "Don't use int constants with a long data type."

[15:02] hi all. if I install a VM using virt-manager, the host is running Lucid and so is the guest - will this be setup using paravirt or hwvirt? [15:06] you can do either [15:08] Patrickdk: from virt-manager, how do I check if a VM is PV or not? [15:09] dunno, I never use virt-manager [15:09] ok, from the command line, then? [15:09] dunno I never use the command line [15:10] I only do xen and esx vm's [15:10] I assume your doing kvm based [15:10] it is [15:10] I gave up paravirtualizing ubuntu with xen [15:16] all of my linux xen's are paravirtual [15:18] Patrickdk: xen told me the .iso file didn't contain a known linux install - I asked around and couldn't find how to do things properly.... [15:18] xen? iso files? [15:18] not sure how you did it [15:18] ubuntu-10.04 iso [15:18] but then again, I never installed a xen guest from an iso [15:18] never mind - kvm works well [15:19] just used deb builder === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [15:19] it's somehow quite understandable that ubuntu has and now redhat will move to kvm [15:54] RoyK: I believe maverick will be much more friendly to xen btw. [15:55] SpamapS: doesn't really matter so long as kvm works well :) [15:56] RoyK: right, I agree. I think though, there is some desire to make it work better w/ xen because of some EC2 stuff. [15:59] * SpamapS realizes he has wandered into completely unfamiliar territory at this point. [15:59] yep [16:04] operating ubuntu is quite boring, really [16:05] there's lots of more action with certain other platforms [16:12] Here's an interesting one: How the heck do I get the scst module into the kernel, preferably without doing the compile-from-source dance? [16:33] JamesHarrison: a kernel module must be compiled for a compatible kernel - if you, say, download a redhat kernel module, it will probably use symbols not in the ubuntu kernel [16:33] RoyK: I found https://launchpad.net/~ast/+archive/scst which is a precompiled pae kernel with the scst module, which has worked a treat now I've actually booted into it. :) [16:34] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/scst [16:34] I guess you've been there already, though :) [16:34] yeah, that too- the fact that you reboot and ofc it doesn't boot into the new kernel confused me :) [16:35] Too used to gentoo, heh :) [16:35] running Lucid? [16:35] with grub2? [16:35] Updated /etc/defaults/grub.conf to have the correct default, now works fine [16:35] grub2 is a PITA imho [16:35] k [16:35] Beats grub1/lilo :D [16:36] grub1 works well [16:36] * Patrickdk hasn't had any issues with grub2, on >20 systems [16:36] lilo is something that belongs in the ninetees [16:36] Patrickdk: well, it works, but I find the configuration easier in old grub1 [16:37] ya, cause the old grub didn't do much, well actually didn't do anything :) [16:37] grub2 is a mini-os [16:38] perhaps I'm just being overly conservative here :) [16:38] * RoyK wants to bomb Oracle [16:38] closing down opensolaris was evil === bobn is now known as bobnn [16:43] Hello. I have a routing issue on server 8.04 - is this the right place? [16:45] The LARTC list seems to be gone :( [16:55] hey all. not really an ubuntu question, more of a networking question... netmasks confuse me, if i just want the netmask to include one ip, do i set the mask to 0? [16:55] so 192.168.0.5/0 would just include that one IP? [16:59] I think /32 would [17:00] because that's how many bits are borrowed...? [17:00] netmasks confuse the hell out of me. [17:00] I'm not sure /0 is a legal operand. if you look at an IP as binary rather than decimal, you get something like 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111111 .. the /n tells you how many bits of that aren't allowed to change [17:01] oh i see [17:01] so /32 would say no bits can change basically. [17:01] so /8 covers every IP under the first quad, /16 everything under the first and second, etc [17:01] yeah. /32 would allow no bits to vary from what you gave [17:01] i had that backwards then. [17:01] ok [17:02] in theory; never tried it because that's a very odd use for netmasks :) [17:02] so 192.168.0.100-255... would /24 work for that...? [17:02] lol [17:02] i'm trying to do QoS on my dd-wrt router. [17:02] /24 would give you 192.168.0.* [17:03] even if i specify the mask starting at 192.168.0.100? [17:03] I believe so, because 24 (3*8) is the first three quads [17:03] hrm [17:04] i took a class that was supposed to teach me this stuff. blargh. [17:04] it helped me with understanding how it pieces together at a high level, but building netmasks still confuses me. [17:05] after that, every 1 you add halves the space, so /25 would give you xxx.xxx.xxx.0-127 and xxx.xxx.xxx.128-255 [17:05] i see. [17:05] /26 would be 0-65, 64-127, 128-19... something. 191? [17:05] perhaps i should change my dhcp range to match the netmask. [17:06] netmasks make complete sense when you look at it as being 4 8bit binary numbers, rather than just 4 decimal numbers. it's going between the two that confuses everyone :) [17:06] yes! [17:07] that's exactly the problem. the conversion in my head gets lost somewhere. [17:08] I dunno if it's just me, but taking the first 4 bits off 11111111 is much easier to picture, than taking the first 4 bits off 255 [17:09] but just halving the available addresses every time /n increments seems a pretty usable shortcut [17:11] well hopefully my QoS works right now. === arrrghhh_ is now known as arrrghhh [17:12] that's better. [17:14] sweet! QoS appears to be working. hopefully the router doesn't freak out again. [17:14] last time i set this up based on port numbers, and the router couldn't handle it. kept resetting and freakin out, had to turn it off entirely.
