[00:01] <demonspork> guhcampos, I had that issue with a hardware raid recently and it turns out I just needed to wait
[00:01] <guhcampos> hmmm
[00:01] <demonspork> so let it sit for a while, it seems to be doing something that takes a long time when it is at 33%
[00:01] <guhcampos> it's taking a lot long
[00:01] <guhcampos> but I'm wainting
[00:01] <demonspork> yeah, it stauyed there for 45+ minutes
[00:01] <guhcampos> let's see how long it will make me wait
[00:01] <guhcampos> oh god
[00:02] <demonspork> of course I was formatting a 660GB partition on a 6 drive RAID 5
[00:07] <demonspork> do any of you know how to add IP addresses without dropping all current connections on the already configured IP? I have 4 I need to add on top of the 1 that is currently configured and I would prefer that the 30 some connections that are active on the current IP do not get dropped
[00:47] <SpamapS> demonspork: just running 'ifup eth0' should add any missing IPs from the interfaces configuration
[00:54] <smoser> hggdh, i've seen that before, but i'm not sure where it comes from.
[00:54] <smoser> did you try more than once?
[01:05] <hggdh> smoser: no, I did not. Will try it again
[01:06] <hggdh> Daviey: so far 1400 instances started, 1350 success, 9 failed. So far, so good.
[01:07] <smoser> hggdh, wow. thats great.
[01:08] <hggdh> smoser: it is... one wonders if *this* time, *this* time...
[01:09] <smoser> :)
[01:09] <smoser> let me know about trying that euca-bundle again
[01:09] <smoser> i just can't imagine what does it, but i have seen it before, and swear that its random
[01:12] <hggdh> will do
[01:35] <smoser> hggdh, please update bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/euca2ools/+bug/509562
[01:35] <smoser> with an indication that you saw it, and whether or not it goes away
[01:35] <smoser> i'll poke at it tomorrow if it is reproducibl
[01:37] <smoser> i know what it is
[01:37] <smoser> i think that this code : iv = (hex(BN.rand(16 * 8))[2:34]).replace('L', 'c')
[01:38] <smoser> is not guaranteed to be consumable by unhexlify
[01:46] <smoser> hggdh, i was right. bug updated. you can run that again, and > 99% you'll have success
[02:04] <arrrghhh> so i'm having samba issues.  my win7 laptop will randomly ask for a password when trying to get to the share, but my girlfriend's win7 laptop never does.  i'd prefer to not require a password to get into samba, assuming they're on my LAN.  I don't think samba is even accessible over the WAN, so I don't really see the need of putting a password on the share.
[02:07] <hggdh> Daviey: 2,000 instances run, .986 success rate!
[02:08] <hggdh> Daviey: will start a second run.
[02:19] <talcite> hey guys. I'm having a problem with snmpd where the agent isn't detecting any incoming snmp requests. I'm certain it's not the firewall interfereing
[02:19] <talcite> interfering*
[02:19] <talcite> atleast, iptables. could it be comething else? Does snmp do anything weird with portmapper or something?
[02:20] <arrrghhh> can you snmpwalk the localhost?
[02:21] <talcite> arrrghhh: nope, that's what I'm using to test, along with scli
[02:21] <talcite> snmpd's logs don't even show that something's connecting, whereas with scli from localhost, it shows up in the log
[02:21] <talcite> however, it's not the firewall, since I have a rule letting it through, and when I take it out, the dropped packet messages show up in the logs
[02:22] <arrrghhh> so wait
[02:22] <talcite> and of course, when I put the rule back into the firewall, there aren't any dropped packet messages
[02:22] <arrrghhh> you can't snmpwalk the local machine?
[02:22] <arrrghhh> i think you should be able to do that...
[02:22] <talcite> oh the local machine? yes I can
[02:22] <arrrghhh> lol ok.
[02:22] <talcite> sorry, I misread that
[02:22] <arrrghhh> just making sure snmp works :P
[02:23] <arrrghhh> and are you on a LAN?
[02:23] <arrrghhh> or are you doing this over the internet?
[02:23] <hggdh> Daviey: \o/ 2,000 instances submitted, 1.971 successes! yay!
[02:23] <talcite> a university LAN, yes
[02:23] <talcite> I've had the proper ports opened, and my firewall test seems to confirm that there's no dropped packets
[02:23] <talcite> dropped packets in transit by an upstream switch I should say
[02:24] <arrrghhh> hrm
[02:24] <arrrghhh> have you nmapped it?
[02:24] <talcite> yes, the port doesn't show up as open
[02:24] <talcite> which is a bit strange
[02:25] <arrrghhh> are you using ufw
[02:25] <arrrghhh> or iptables
[02:25] <talcite> firehol
[02:25] <arrrghhh> on the ubuntu server?
[02:26] <talcite> It doesn't work even if I shutdown firehol
[02:26] <talcite> yes
[02:26] <talcite> both machines are running ubuntu server
[02:26] <talcite> 10.04
[02:27] <arrrghhh> huh never heard of firehol.
[02:27] <arrrghhh> is it another front-end for iptables...?
[02:28] <talcite> it's pretty handy.
[02:28] <talcite> Yes it is
[02:28] <talcite> it's more or less cross-distro as well, meaning you don't need to learn more than 1 firewall syntax to administer mixed environments.
[02:28] <arrrghhh> huh
[02:28] <arrrghhh> cool
[02:29] <arrrghhh> but if you can't nmap the port, it's probably not open on either a) the firewall on your machine or b) the firewall in your network.
[02:30] <talcite> actually I tested it from another machine on the same switch (which means it doesn't enter the university network), and it's still no good.
[02:30] <talcite> one sec, I'm going to nmap it again with different options
[02:30] <talcite> there's several ports opened and it didn't pick them all up
[02:30] <arrrghhh> well
[02:30] <arrrghhh> if you couldn't do it on the same switch...
[02:30] <arrrghhh> then you've gotta have sometihng wrong in firehol.
[02:31] <arrrghhh> i'm assuming you can still poll iptables
[02:31] <arrrghhh> i think it's iptables -L
[02:31] <talcite> I stopped it completely (unloaded all the rules from iptables) and it's still not working
[02:31] <talcite> OH!
[02:31] <talcite> damnit I bet you snmpd binded to the wrong interface
[02:31] <talcite> There's multiple on these machines
[02:31] <arrrghhh> lol
[02:31] <arrrghhh> that would do it too
[03:34] <pyrophelia> is there a "safe" way to shut a system down that is currently doing a raid rebuild?  It takes ~4-5 days to resync this raid I don't want to loose my current progress
[04:47] <hggdh> Daviey: second test is at 1,500 instances run, 10 failures. Looks good, will find how it ended tomorrow morning
[04:48] <hggdh> Daviey: in fact, it has *never* been so good :-)
[05:01] <_Techie_> when connecting to the internet via a 56k dial up modem, what is the interface name for the connection?
[05:33] <computerwiz_222> Hello, I'm having difficulty setting up a software raid1. I have an advanced format drive from Western Digital which uses 4kb sectors rather than the usual 512. Has anyone had any experience with this?
[08:33] <netritious> is there are package available to tell me which Ubuntu mirror is the fastest from my location?
[08:36] <Daviey> netritious, There is one for the desktop, but i don't think we have this on the server :(
[08:36] <Daviey> (and TBH, the desktop one is based on ping time, rather than speed)
[08:36] <Daviey> iirc
[08:38] <netritious> Daviey: thanks. Was about to try and work out one with PHP or python but wanted to make sure something wasn't already out there.
[08:41] <Daviey> netritious, Sounds awesome... make sure you share it with us :)
[08:41] <netritious> Daviey: Of course :)
[08:41] <Daviey> netritious, I would suggest python... it could even be in the Natty :)
[08:42] <Daviey> netritious, writing in PHP means we need depend on that... python is already installed.
[08:42] <Daviey> so python++
[08:44] <netritious> Daviey: I considered that..the dependency thing
[08:45] <netritious> BUT i'm not a python coder :)
[08:45] <Daviey> netritious, well do what is best for you :)...  Learning python could be fun :)
[08:46] <netritious> Daviey: I completely agree
[08:46] <netritious> i'm taking a stab at it with python first
[08:48] <Daviey> netritious, awesome!
[10:52] <maedox> Hi guys, one (maybe not so easy) question: I have one server that is a SSH gateway for all the other server from WAN. I have disabled all sudo access and set a very strong root passwd. I want a script to run if someone gains root. Right now I have it in ~root/.bashrc. Any thoughts on that?
[10:53] <maedox> what the script does is email me some info about the login, `last` etc.
[11:36] <Daviey> maedox, a pam script might be better
[11:39] <maedox> Daviey, thanks for the tip, I'll look into that.
[11:40] <Daviey> maedox, cool... would love to hear how you get on.
[13:02] <ztripez> i have a server with 2 nics.. they show up in lspci but when i do a /etc/init.d/networking restart it say that eth0 and eth1 cant be found...
[13:02] <maedox> ztripez, they might not be named eth0 and eth1.
[13:03] <ztripez> maedox,  where can i found the name of them?
[13:05] <maedox> they are set in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules here, your filename may be different.
[13:07] <ztripez> maedox,  ok since i switched network cards the addressing is wrong i guess?
[13:07] <maedox> yes that could happen
[13:08] <ztripez> maedox, any easy way to restet or do i have to du it manualy?
[13:10] <maedox> I think you can change the names in that file and then do sudo service udev restart and then restart networking.
[13:18] <ztripez> maedox, ok i got one of them to work (was assigned to eth2) but the other one doesn't work
[13:18] <ztripez>  dmesg | grep eth
[13:18] <ztripez> [    0.992214] 0000:00:19.0: eth1: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x1) 00:1d:09:84:59:1f
[13:18] <ztripez> [    0.992217] 0000:00:19.0: eth1: Intel(R) PRO/10/100 Network Connection
[13:18] <ztripez> [    0.992236] 0000:00:19.0: eth1: MAC: 7, PHY: 7, PBA No: ffffff-0ff
[13:18] <ztripez> [    8.894663] udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth2
[13:18] <ztripez> so it finds eth1 but..
[13:19] <maedox> is the mac address correct in the udev file?
[13:19] <ztripez> maedox, how do i get the mac adress?
[13:25] <maedox> good question, I honestly can't remember right now. give me a minute.
[13:26] <ztripez> hm.. when i do a ifconfig -a i get eth2 and eth1_rename
[13:27] <maedox> oh yeah, doesn't the mac address get listed on ifconfig?
[13:27] <ztripez> dooh, yes it does
[13:27] <maedox> as HWaddr
[13:27] <maedox> :)
[13:29] <Martens1984> Doh, can someone tell me how I can enter #ubuntu
[13:30] <maedox>  /join #ubuntu doesn't work?
[13:30] <ztripez> maedox, got it to work now, thanks just had do edit the udev rules and restart ;)
[13:30] <maedox> ztripez, great :)
[13:30] <maedox> ztripez, it's probably some service that needs restarting, but a reboot solves it alright :P
[13:30] <Martens1984> maedox: Nah, it tells me: #ubuntu Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
[13:31] <maedox> Martens1984, aha, you probably need to register your nick with NickServ.
[13:34] <Martens1984> maedox: I thought I did, I get this ubuntu/unregged server witch asks me a question, if I anser it, I should be able to join #ubuntu, but no...
[13:38] <ztripez> trying to put up a UEC.. got it controlers installed.. both nics working eth0 as public and eth1 as private.. but don't i have to configure the dhcp server to lease ip's to the private network?
[13:39] <maedox> Martens1984, did you do /msg NickServ identify password ?
[13:40] <Martens1984> maedox: I forgot to ferify... :(
[13:41] <Martens1984> I gues I can post my prob here aswell...
[13:41] <Martens1984> If I ping to <servername> my ubuntu tries to reach e.g. 10.1.0.1 instead of 10.0.1.1, what could be wrong?
[13:42] <maedox> what does host <servername> give you?
[13:42] <Martens1984> both
[13:43] <maedox> ok, then that's why. I'm not sure how it selects which one to ping.
[13:43] <Martens1984> thats cuz I entered 10.0.1.1 in the hostfile
[13:43] <Martens1984> I gues
[13:44] <Martens1984> but how can I remove the wrong IP?
[13:44] <maedox> that's weird, it should use the one in your hosts file.
[13:44] <maedox> you have to edit the DNS server config.
[13:45] <Martens1984> the DNS server gives only the right Ip... :S
[13:45] <maedox> huh?
[13:45] <maedox> then I don't know where it gets 10.1.0.1
[13:45] <Martens1984> and on the windows machine I'm on ping <servername>  works perfectly
[13:46] <maedox> do they use the same DNS server, and is your /etc/hosts file correct?
[13:47] <Martens1984> yes
[13:48] <Martens1984> I get this reply if I ping:
[13:48] <Martens1984> From icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
[13:49] <Martens1984> From <this_pc> (xx.xx.xx)  icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
[13:50] <Martens1984> I simply gues I fuck up to much trying to integrate Ubuntu-server to W2K3-server
[13:51] <maedox> if you type in nslookup - ip.address.for.dnsserver    and then query it for the servername, does it give the right one?
[13:51] <maedox> yes, I don't know, this all sounds weird. I'm not sure what's up.
[13:51] <Martens1984> hah... it throws out both ip's
[13:52] <maedox> then there is something up with the DNS
[13:52] <maedox> what's the output of the query?
[13:53] <Martens1984> Name: <servername>
[13:53] <Martens1984> Address: 10.1.0.10
[13:53] <Martens1984> Name: <servername>
[13:53] <Martens1984> Address: 10.0.1.10
[13:54] <maedox> then there must be two A records with same servername and different IP-addresses in the DNS.
 being servername.domain.name
[13:54] <maedox> or the DNS is doing some strange stuff :)
[13:55] <Martens1984> if I use nslookup from another pc, it only gives the right address
[13:56] <maedox> right, you mentioned that. very weird indeed.
[13:57] <maedox> there should not be any caching of dns by default in ubuntu, but that's the only thing I can think of.
[13:58] <Martens1984> it runs a DHCP server... but so does the server I try to reach, this server did not lease any IP
[14:01] <maedox> I'm out of ideas. Maybe try rebooting or at least service networking restart.
[14:03] <sCOTTo> hey guys, I am setting up a ubuntu server to serve Virtual servers on inside an office. One VS will be a windows server. I have a machine with 2 x 1 TB SataII drives. Should I be striping these or Mirroring them or keeping them as two ???
[14:04] <au> I would mirror them for backup reasons
[14:04] <sCOTTo> How does that help for backup? would it not be better to have daily backups running ?
[14:04] <maedox> sCOTTo, yeah, mirroring is the way to go if they need to be up all the time.
[14:04] <sCOTTo> or does the mirror allow for Redundancy ?
[14:04] <Martens1984> tru, but mirroring... wel you just figured it out
[14:05] <maedox> sCOTTo, backups mean you have to reinstall the backup. RAID 1 will let you change one disk while the other works. Assuming they are hot-swap disks/controller.
[14:05] <sCOTTo> ok so the next question... can I use SOFTWARE within Ubuntu to set up the mirror or do I need a Sata Raid Card setup ?
[14:05] <Martens1984> If one crashes, you simply replace it and continu servering
[14:05] <sCOTTo> ok sweet - sold on mirror.
[14:05] <hggdh> Daviey: second run: 2,003 instances submitted, 1,975 successes
[14:05] <sCOTTo> lol
[14:06] <Martens1984> A hardware raid is preferable
[14:06] <sCOTTo> I dont have the raid card or ability on the MB thats all :(
[14:06] <sCOTTo> its a AMD 64-but MB
[14:06] <maedox> sCOTTo, just make sure that hot-swap is possible. ;)
[14:06] <sCOTTo> I do think so...
[14:06] <sCOTTo> I should GG the mb huh lol
[14:07] <maedox> sCOTTo, If a small down-time is acceptable you can shutdown, change disk and reboot.
[14:07] <sCOTTo> yeah a small downtime should not be a problem...
[14:07] <sCOTTo> should I buy a stack of the same HDDs so I ahve back up drives ??
[14:07] <Daviey> hggdh, I'm pretty happy with those stats as stress testing goes :)
[14:08] <sCOTTo> hmmm it has RAID 0,1 whats that ?
[14:09] <maedox> sCOTTo, 0,1 just means it can do RAID 0 or RAID 1. RAID 0 being striping (data divided between disks) and RAID 1 being mirroring.
[14:09] <Martens1984> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_Array_of_Independent_Disks#RAID-0 ;)
[14:10] <sCOTTo> ok so the MB can Mirror then yes ?
[14:10] <maedox> yes
[14:10] <sCOTTo> :D I guess thats a good thing ;) now I gotta figure out HOW
[14:10] <sCOTTo> lol
[14:10] <maedox> yes, that it the question. there is probably a hotkey for configuring it when you boot up your machine.
[14:10] <Martens1984> lol... reboot and check BIOS startup carefully.... you should enter a combination of keys to enter the raid setup
[14:11] <Martens1984> ... ore there should be a driver to acces the raid setup within Windows... in ubuntu I'm not sure
[14:11] <sCOTTo> found the Manual ;)
[14:11] <sCOTTo> RTFM :D
[14:11] <Martens1984> GL & HF
[14:12] <sCOTTo> GL & HF ???
[14:12] <sCOTTo> good luck
[14:12] <sCOTTo> hace fun
[14:12] <sCOTTo> ok
[14:12] <Martens1984> Good Luck & Have Fun
[14:12] <sCOTTo> thanks :D
[14:12] <sCOTTo> hehehe
[14:12] <maedox> :D
[14:12] <sCOTTo> I am doing this one for one of the most HATED Politicians in Australia ;)
[14:12] <sCOTTo> hehehe
[14:12] <sCOTTo> i LURVE ppl who are politically incorrect :D
[14:12] <maedox> make sure to put in a remote killswitch then :P
[14:12] <sCOTTo> hehehe nah - I like him :D
[14:13] <sCOTTo> lol how do I make a remote killswitch btw ;)
[14:13] <Martens1984> 20 pounds of TNT next to the server...
[14:13] <Martens1984> or C4
[14:13] <sCOTTo> that would work
[14:13] <sCOTTo> or... INSTALL WINDOWS :D
[14:13] <sCOTTo> tee hee hee
[14:14] <Martens1984> Windows, and your switch in instantly killed
[14:14] <sCOTTo> thats why I am VIRTUALISING the windows server they want to run hehehe
[14:14] <sCOTTo> its a LOT safer :D
[14:15] <Martens1984> so... thats what's going wrong here... I got w2k3-server and am running Ubuntu virtualy
[14:15] <sCOTTo> oh dear...
[14:15] <sCOTTo> thats BLASPHEMY!
[14:16] <Martens1984> I know... but it's out of my hands
[14:16] <sCOTTo> if you have the KB... then it aint ;)
[14:16] <sCOTTo> hehehe
[14:17] <sCOTTo> bbs
[14:19] <Martens1984> DOH, my unconfigurable DNS-server is f****d up
[14:20] <sCOTTo> unconfigurable ?
[14:20] <Martens1984> Yeah... it's inside the router
[14:20] <sCOTTo> hmm
[14:20] <sCOTTo> upgrade the firmware
[14:20] <sCOTTo> ;)
[14:20] <Martens1984> modem/router ADSL internet thing
[14:21] <sCOTTo> just reboot it. that normally clears it
[14:21] <Martens1984> yeah... gonna try that now
[14:25] <Martens1984> how do I kill a zombie process
[14:25] <au> ps x
[14:25] <au> kill process
[14:25] <au> 23:25 < au> ps x
[14:25] <au> 23:25 < au> kill process
[14:39] <maedox> you can't kill a zombie. it's already dead.
[14:39] <maedox> no pun intended :)
[15:06] <Ethos> hi guys, I've installed fail2ban but I'm receiving "Restarting authentication failure monitor fail2ban                           start-stop-daemon: Unable to set gid to 0"
[15:06] <Ethos> Any ideas?
[15:12] <hurra> when will there be a kernel update for 10.04?
[15:23] <smoser> kirkland, ping
[15:23] <smoser> or maybe daviey or ttx know.
[15:23] <smoser> how is /etc/motd.d/* executed on login ?
[15:24] <ttx> smoser: ask and you shall find
[15:24] <smoser> i can't trace this.
[15:24] <ttx> I think it's through pam-motd
[15:24] <smoser> i suspect pam_motd.so, but nothing says that it should update that.
[15:24] <smoser> yeah
[15:26]  * ttx looks
[15:26] <smoser> so something updates /etc/motd, and i can't find what
[15:26] <smoser> (it does so by runparts of /etc/update-motd.d)
[15:27] <Daviey> and people don't see the point of shipping the server guide on the install....
[15:27] <Daviey> smoser, $ w3m /usr/share/ubuntu-serverguide/html/C/pam_motd.html
[15:28] <ttx> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man8/pam_motd.8.html sounds a bit out of date
[15:30] <smoser> so pam runs (as root) stuff in /etc/update-motd.d on *every* login ?
[15:31] <Daviey> erm
[15:31] <Daviey> don't think it does
[15:33] <smoser> not root. you're right.
[15:34] <Daviey> hmm

[15:35] <Daviey> root
[15:35] <mdeslaur> yes, it's in a ubuntu-specific patch, guys
[15:35] <Daviey> Ethos, yes
[15:35] <Ethos> Finding it good? :)
[15:36] <smoser> yeah. daviey, i just did the same thing.
[15:36] <smoser> as root, and every time.
[15:36] <Daviey> Ethos, functional :)... I actually use that and Denyhosts depending what the server is, what i'm in the mood for, if it's raining or sunny  :)
[15:36] <Ethos> heh
[15:36] <Daviey> smoser, heh
[15:36] <Ethos> Cool, I've just thought about security on my linode and realised I was a bit slack with it
[15:38] <maedox> There is also sshd-autoban, which can add IP-addresses to either hosts.deny or iptables.
[15:39] <thafreak> Ethos: I just switched to fail2ban from denyhosts
[15:39] <ttx> SpamapS: ping
[15:40] <thafreak> It seems to use a constant ammount of ram, where denyhosts slowly used more
[15:40] <thafreak> I was wary of using something that messed with iptables at first, but it runs well
[15:43] <Ethos> interesting :)
[15:43] <Ethos> I'll check out the alternatives too
[16:17] <MTecknology> How do I reload an apparmor profile?
[16:18] <MTecknology> found it
[16:52] <SpamapS> ttx: pong, sup?
[16:53] <ttx> SpamapS: dude!
[16:53] <ttx> SpamapS: was wondering if you wanted to try to sneak a fix for bug 624361 before release. If yes, i'll target it against Maverick.
[16:53] <ttx> SpamapS: but then another bug surfaced...
[16:53] <ttx> that might require even more of your attention...
[16:53] <ttx> bug 641384
[16:54] <ttx> apparently we are short of a few MIRs there
[16:54] <SpamapS> ttx: No, that one has no real easy solution w/ upstart. :(
[16:54] <ttx> SpamapS: I thought so.
[16:54] <ttx> Will keep it out of scope for the moment then.
[16:54] <ttx> SpamapS: could you debunk bug 641384 ?
[16:54] <SpamapS> ttx: I think long term the answer is going to be to add a "verify" capability to upstart jobs
[16:55] <SpamapS> ttx: weird, don't they see the LP bug numbers *in the commit logs* ?
[16:55] <ttx> SpamapS: "see" ?
[16:56] <ttx> SpamapS: "they" ?
[16:56] <ttx> SpamapS: "weird" ?
[16:56] <ttx> SpamapS: "numbers" ?
[16:56] <ttx> SpamapS: "logs" ?
[16:56] <ttx> SpamapS: ?
[16:57]  * ttx is in a playful mood
[16:57]  * SpamapS is in an "annoyed with AT&T mood"
[16:58] <ttx> SpamapS: I'm not sure I got your last question rigth
[16:59] <ttx> SpamapS: do you mean "shouldn't LP autoclose bugs based on LP bug numbers in debian changelogs" ?
[16:59] <SpamapS> oo AT&T is here
[16:59]  * ttx hands SpamapS a mask
[17:00] <SpamapS> ttx: I told you I'm not going to your weird party in the countryside
[17:02] <SpamapS> actually, the bug #'s aren't in the commit logs
[17:02] <SpamapS> just the blueprint names
[17:02] <SpamapS> we really do need to fix the seed management process
[17:02] <zul> i think ttx started a bit early this weekend
[17:02] <ttx> I'm already 2 minute IN my weekend.
[17:02] <ttx> SpamapS: assigned.
[17:03] <SpamapS> Comment added w/ pointers to the MIR's
[17:05] <ttx> SpamapS: I think doko's point is that the dependencies were not MIRed
[17:07] <SpamapS> ttx: err, all of those are from the libmemcached source package
[17:09] <ttx> SpamapS: just a sec
[17:15] <ttx> SpamapS: you need a MIR filed for each and every dependency
[17:16] <SpamapS> ttx: MIR's are by source package. Yes?
[17:16] <ttx> yes
[17:16] <ttx> ah, you mean all thise are binaries from libmemcached ?
[17:16]  * ttx looks with more attention
[17:16] <SpamapS> http://paste.ubuntu.com/495382/
[17:17] <SpamapS> all from libmemcached source
[17:18] <SpamapS> Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0.50), perl, memcached (>= 1.4.1), automake (>= 1.10), autoconf, libtool
[17:18] <SpamapS> All of those are covered..
[17:18] <SpamapS> so .. yeah I think Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 6), libevent-dev, quilt (>= 0.46-7)
[17:18] <SpamapS> So yeah, I think we're all good
[17:20] <ttx> they must have missed promotion.
[17:20] <ttx> SpamapS: feel free to ping some MIR team member about that.
[17:22] <SpamapS> Honestly, the whole MIR process and promotion issue for non-dependencies is really confusing.
[17:37] <SpamapS> ttx: Aren't you supposed to be enjoying your friday evening by now?

[19:15] <blackxored> hi guys, i have a openvpn setup which is supposedly pushing dns information pointing to itself since I have dnsmasq installed on that server, but i'm somehow still using my company's dns, i want to know why and how to solve this???
[19:16] <Mahara> I'm trying to install Nginx following the instructions from http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxInstall , after I refresh the repos and run apt-get install nginx it gets the stable version instead of the ppa version why ? is the ppa broken or what?
[19:17] <Mahara> the stable version from the standard repos not that ppa
[19:20] <beawesomeinstead> PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME MY COWORKERS GOT ME DRUNK. how to fix this?/??? THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M DRUNK??
[19:21] <Mahara> nvm I need some sleep :D I need to replace /stable with /development
[19:21] <Daviey> beawesomeinstead, Really, Really not appropriate for here.
[19:21] <beawesomeinstead> i know know know\
[19:21] <beawesomeinstead> maybve
[19:21] <Daviey> smoser, awesome! bug #509562
[19:22] <blackxored> i have a openvpn setup which is supposedly pushing dns information pointing to itself since I have dnsmasq installed on that server, but i'm somehow still using my company's dns, i want to know why and how to solve this???
[19:22] <smoser> yeah. once i took 10 minutes to actually look at it, it was obvious that only 1 thing could really be causing the failure.
[19:24] <Daviey> smoser, now you mention it.... replace('L', 'c') <-- LOL :)
[19:24] <Daviey> smoser, I guess that should have jumped out at us sooner :)
[19:25] <smoser> well, the 'L' being replaced is the last letter of 0xABCDEF....GBL
[19:25] <smoser> (ie, 'Long')
[19:25] <smoser> and they "fixed" that issue that they were no doubt seeing 1 in 10 times or so by adding the replace
[19:25] <Daviey> :)
[19:25] <smoser> (it just bought them an extra digit)
[19:25] <Daviey> smoser, Are you planning to SRU that?
[19:26] <smoser> well, we'll see if they let it into maverick
[19:26] <smoser> i uploaded.
[19:26] <Daviey> i saw it in the queue... i would imagine that will get through
[19:28] <smoser> i guess the replace would buy make it 16x less likely to occur
[19:28] <smoser> right?
[19:32] <RoyK> what sort of backup software do you guys (or girls) use?
[19:34] <Daviey> smoser, well... it seems saner than it is now...
[19:34] <incidence> RoyK: Script called rsync-backup =)
[19:34] <Mahara> RoyK, Bacula ( http://www.bacula.org/en ) , KLEO (http://www.kleobackup.net/), RedoBackup ( http://redobackup.org/ )
[19:34] <smoser> well, now i think it should never fail
[19:34] <Daviey> smoser, Trying your patch now :)
[19:35] <smoser> but without their replace, i think it was probably failing like 1/10 or something
[19:35] <smoser> with replace it goes to 1/160 or so
[19:36] <incidence> Can I get more than 1 IPv6 address from tunnelbroker? Confused with those.
[19:36] <Daviey> smoser, i'll try your test bash script shortly
[19:36] <RoyK> Mahara: I guess I'll do some more testing on Bacula...
[19:37] <smoser> yeah, i even uploaded an image (only once) and ran it to make sure that there was no hidden issue with what i was doing.
[19:38] <Daviey> smoser, It looks very logical... I'll test it here.. update the bug report... Then it seems even more likely it'll get through... But tbh, it looks good as it is :)
[19:51] <aubre> how can I change the IP address on a network interface ?
[19:52] <pmatulis> aubre: with the 'ip' command
[19:52] <aubre> thanks!
[19:52] <aubre> I know - I was just showing the power of the irc channel and you helped
[19:52] <SpamapS> pmatulis: thats not permanent tho
[19:52] <SpamapS> aubre: you probably want to change it permanently yes?
[19:52] <aubre> yes
[19:53] <SpamapS> aubre: if its static, it should be defined in /etc/network/interfaces
[19:53] <aubre> thanks !
[19:53]  * pmatulis is singing the blues
[20:16] <ruben23>  i have a full HDD, now i have an extra HDD can i add it up so i can copy the files there for backup..? any solutions
[21:08] <ttx> SpamapS: yes, I am.
[21:24] <smoser> ttx, go to bed
[21:45] <_Techie_> anybody here using ubuntu-server setup as their router with a 100mb network
[21:46] <Patrickdk> techie, no, but I am with gigabit
[21:46] <_Techie_> hrmm
[21:46] <_Techie_> can i get you to get me some numbers
[21:46] <Patrickdk> what?
[21:47] <_Techie_> i need you to use traceroute on your sever to anywhere and get me the hop time between server and modem
[21:47] <Patrickdk> ok
[21:47] <Patrickdk> dunno why 100mbit is required for that though :)
[21:47] <_Techie_> well im usin 100mbit
[21:48] <Patrickdk> well, you better hurry up and tell me, or I will have to leave :)
[21:48] <_Techie_> so i wanted to try keep it as close to my network as possible
[21:48] <_Techie_> but a gigabit readout wl do
[21:48] <Patrickdk> wait, you want to compare my hop times, from server to modem to your server to modem?
[21:48] <_Techie_> yes
[21:48] <Patrickdk> cause I have no modem
[21:48] <Patrickdk> I'm on fiber
[21:49] <_Techie_> oh
[21:49] <Patrickdk> directly plugged into my server
[21:49] <_Techie_> damnit
[21:49] <_Techie_> stupid NZ internet
[21:49] <_Techie_> were still on ADSL
[21:49] <Patrickdk> cable modem? or dsl?
[21:49] <Patrickdk> hmm
[21:49] <_Techie_> nto een ADSL2+
[21:49] <_Techie_> even*
[21:49] <Patrickdk> dunno much about dsl, well, I know about it, but don't use it :)
[21:49] <_Techie_> oh well
[21:49] <_Techie_> thanks for your time anyway
[21:49] <Patrickdk> but cable, adds 10-30ms of delay
[21:50] <Patrickdk> pastebin your results
[21:52] <_Techie_> Patrickdk: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/vQ56zhS0   from a mac laptop inside my network conected to wireless
[21:52] <Patrickdk> hmm, alittle high, but that depends on your dsl people
[21:53] <_Techie_> immore interested in my LAN rather than my WAN atm
[21:53] <Patrickdk> the 2.3ms?
[21:53] <_Techie_> yeah
[21:53] <_Techie_> #1 is laptop to roter, #2 is router to modem
[21:54] <Patrickdk> what is laptop to router? wifi?
[21:54] <Patrickdk> that would be the issue there :)
[21:54] <_Techie_> yes
[21:54] <Patrickdk> ya, wifi is normally +2ms
[21:54] <Patrickdk> 802.11g?
[21:55] <_Techie_> yep
[21:55] <Patrickdk> 54mbit max, so 22mbit usable
[21:57] <_Techie_> so you dont think that my server s taking an excess amont of time to route packets?
[22:06] <IamReck> Hi I am looking for help getting 10.04 to syslog to Centos 5.5.
[22:07] <guntbert> IamReck: you will have to debug that on the centOS side I'm afraid, as syslog requires no acknowledgement from the syslog server ( if I remember correctly )
[22:08] <IamReck> Question for the Ubuntu one, though, if I edit the /etc/syslog.conf, will those settings be obeyed by rsyslog/
[22:08] <IamReck> ?
[22:08] <RoyK> IamReck: just log to @your.centos.box
[22:09] <IamReck> RoyK, that's what I'm doing.
[22:09] <RoyK> obviously the centos box will need to listen to 514/udp
[22:09] <IamReck> syslog is listening.
[22:12] <Four2zero> i did a mistake on a command, and removed a initrd.image from ubuntu-server by mistake how can i retrieve this file back ?
[22:12] <RoyK> IamReck: that should be all iirc
[22:13] <RoyK> IamReck: can you try to sniff outgoing udp traffic from the ubuntu box?
[22:14] <Four2zero> this is the command i accidently used sudo rm -rf /initrd.img
[22:14] <Four2zero> is there any way to retrieve this file back ?
[22:14] <guntbert> Four2zero: I don't think you can -- so learn to be *very* cautious when working with root rights
[22:15] <nakhlawi> Four2zero: http://www.debian-administration.org/article/293/How_Do_I_Make_an_initrd_image
[22:15] <Four2zero> how important is /initrd.img ?
[22:15] <guntbert> Four2zero: very, see ^^
[22:16] <Four2zero> nakinak im showing that link is dead on my end.
[22:16] <maswan> Four2zero: you won't be able to boot. dpkg-reconfigure on the kernel package should fix it up
[22:16] <Four2zero> unable to connect
[22:16] <RoyK> Four2zero: if the system is up and running, just reinstall the kernel package of choice
[22:16] <RoyK> oh
[22:16] <RoyK> then you're fscked
[22:17] <Four2zero> okay.
[22:17] <RoyK> Four2zero: the initrd contains all loadable modules for the kernel, and in most distros, that also includes the sata/ata/scsi/whatever drivers, and without those, the kernel can't find its drives
[22:18] <Four2zero> oh snaps....!
[22:18] <guntbert> Four2zero: why are you unable to connect?
[22:19] <Four2zero> RoyK, when i ran dpkg-reconfigure it says please specify a package to reconfigure ?
[22:19] <Four2zero> guntbert Firefox cant establish a connection to the server at www.debian-administration.org
[22:20] <Four2zero> problem loading page.
[22:20] <Four2zero> gunthber and im not using proxy
[22:21] <Four2zero> also with chrome with same issue
[22:22] <Four2zero> guntber and same with IE
[22:23] <guntbert> Four2zero: and from where do you chat?
[22:23] <Four2zero> US
[22:23] <guntbert> Four2zero: no, how do you chat/irc if you have no network connection?
[22:24] <Four2zero> guntbert oh...just specific page i cant load
[22:24] <Four2zero> internet connection is fine
[22:24] <Four2zero> hahahah...i had program running peerblock
[22:25] <Four2zero> now im able to access the page
[22:25] <guntbert> Four2zero: how is that specific page related to your problem? you should be able to reinstall the kernel as Royk suggested
[22:26] <Four2zero> that's fixed now, so anyhow im doing what he suggested.
[22:26] <guntbert> Four2zero: Good luck :-) I'm off
[22:26] <Four2zero> but im getting a /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: please specify a package to reconfigure
 Four2zero: if the system is up and running, just reinstall the kernel package of choice
[22:28] <Four2zero> yes, the system is up and still running. im googlining that info right now
[22:29] <Four2zero> so basically need to reinstall the kernel ?
[22:29] <Four2zero> correct
[22:37] <Four2zero> Is what im looking for: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158
[22:52] <Four2zero> okay i repaired it.
[23:47] <lapsusbrutus> anyone knows id chmod 644 on the /dev/mem file will crash anything?
[23:51] <RoyK> lapsusbrutus: not unless you let me into your system
[23:52] <RoyK> or any other - or you have a faulty php script - or ......
