[00:56] <RoyK> with openindiana coming, if btrfs doesn't pick up soon, the linux community will have a bit of a problem catching up
[01:08] <Reck> Hi - I just installed an Ubuntu 10.04.1 on VMware Workstation and the networking isn't working, I have eth0 in the /etc/network/interfaces file but it isn't showing up in ifconfig -a, eth1 is, I was wondering if could tell me how to correct this error?
[01:32] <ruben23> hi guys linux pendrive dnt have ubuntu-8.04 LTS what should i do if i want taht version..? any idea guys..?
[01:37] <phyfus> my ubuntu linux server is failing to upgrade successfully to the newest kernel release
[01:38] <phyfus> it ran ok through till the "Running postinst hook script /sbin/update-grub." step
[01:38] <phyfus> then it just stayed there for 20 minutes until i killed it
[01:39] <phyfus> looked  at the process tree and noticed that "/usr/sbin/grub-probe --device /dev/sde1 --target=fs_uuid" is marked as dead

[01:47]  * RadioListener The best balkan irc network irc.balkancafe.org visit us :) if you from balkan ;)
[02:00] <markatto> ruben23: try unetbootin
[02:00] <markatto> ruben23: also, you might want to consider running a more modern release
[02:05] <enzoplex> !postfix
[02:09] <TimR> can anybody help me with a issue that is causing debootscript warnings
[03:43] <sjr> I just put in a new hard disk 2.0 TB, and put Ubuntu 10.04 on it, (previously had 9.04), for some reason it only boots off the hard disk sporadically.
[03:47] <jetole> Hey guys, I need to give access to all the servers I run to a lot of users and was wondering what anyone can suggest for auditing all actions?
[04:17] <electrofreak> SJr, what seems to be the problem?
[04:25] <SJr> I dunno
[04:25] <SJr> right now I am trying to reinstall
[04:25] <SJr> but Ubuntu keeps hanging on the partitions formatting 33%
[04:31] <electrofreak> not sure why that would be...
[04:31] <electrofreak> sure the drive is good?
[05:08] <squidly> have you checked the logs for errors
[05:08] <squidly> and how big are the drives?
[05:16] <jetsaredim> what's the best way to setup a virtual machine server on my network
[05:16] <jetsaredim> was thinking about using xen, but ubuntu desktop doesn't seem to have the virtualization kernels
[05:16] <au> hmm
[05:16] <au> jetsaredim: sun virtualbox
[05:17] <jetsaredim> right - i sorta wanted to be able to host the guests on a separate machine other than the one I'm running my main desktop on
[05:18] <jetsaredim> au: also, fwiw, it's oracle vbox
[05:20] <jetsaredim> looking to setup on of my servers on my network as a vm server so i can run windows and linux guest on there and not tie-up my main desktop
[05:21] <jetsaredim> just not sure what the best method is for that
[05:21] <jetsaredim> i always thought virtualbox was sorta like vmware player
[06:47] <extor> what the hell...this server was giving me mad drive i/o errors when it was in the rack but now at home it's acting perfect
[07:02] <kozmund> Tried it in the rack without hooking up the network cable? Maybe a power conditioning issue? Murphy having his way with you?
[07:05] <kozmund> I have a variety of suggestions but I'd generally recommend isolating variables like power, load, vibration, light, smell, etc.
[07:06] <kozmund> Several of those are overly silly, but you get the idea.
[07:10] <qman__> vibration, and by association, noise, are especially pertinent to hard drives
[07:10] <qman__> but bad power or a loose cable could just as easily be the culprit
[07:20] <oracle> whats this new kernel updar
[07:20] <oracle> is it sefcurity relarted?
[07:21] <oracle> no answer
[07:24] <qman__> 56 seconds
[07:46] <SJr> Hmmmm My Ubuntu installation (kind of fresh) isn't booting. It just says /dev/sda2 clean, and then sort of hangs, if I hit ctrl+alt+del it will reboot.
[09:30] <draik> I have installed postfix, but I'm not able to get a localhost connection started. It terminates after a second or two
[09:30] <draik> What should I be looking at to have this resolved?
[09:31] <draik> Yes, I have 'netstat -an' showing that port 25 is on LISTEN
[09:40] <draik> Never mind. I got it. :)
[09:50] <au> ok :)
[10:27] <ARTSIOM> Hi! I am trying to build driver from sources for my RAID-SAS controller. I have dowloaded sources and copied them to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-21-server/drivers/scsi/aacraid folder. Can someone please help me now with the command to build this driver?
[12:01] <corecode> is there any way to use luksClose?
[12:02] <corecode> i keep getting "Device ... is busy."
[12:02] <corecode> or i need to tell lvm to stop using it?
[12:04] <corecode> vgchange -a n
[12:43] <Shapeshifter> Hi. Has this hole been fixed in linux-server 2.6.24.28.30? http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Hole-in-Linux-kernel-provides-root-rights-1081317.html
[13:05] <Shapeshifter> And anyway, how come I have Package: linux-image Version: 2.6.24.28.30 but uname -a 2.6.24-26-server
[13:33] <smokie> hey guys, how can i change ownership of /var/www to a different user? right now its set to root only
[13:44] <pmatulis> smokie: 'sudo chown USER /var/www'
[13:44] <pmatulis> smokie: 'man chown'
[14:10] <smokie> thanks pmatulis
[14:11] <smokie> was chown user:group directory
[15:04] <ehcah> hello. if I have 2 DL380 G4's in my rack. The first is production, the second is test. My production box is starting to give me trouble. Can I remove the 2 mirrored drives from production and reboot the test box to become production? Would the only problem become the MAC address of my original product eth0 NIC? Sorry if this is a stupid question.
[15:17] <joschi> ehcah: if your test box has similar (or better identical) hardware it shouldn't be a problem.
[15:17] <joschi> ehcah: and for the MAC address: just clean/modify /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules before migrating
[15:18] <ehcah> joschi: That would be awesome if it were that simple.
[15:19] <ehcah> The hardware is identical.
[15:41] <coafcv> hi. I have a public/private key pair in ~/.ssh for my server, however I didn't specify it when connecting: ssh <ip-here> -l <username>. But I still could connect without being asked for the password. how's that possible? how does ssh know which key to use?
[15:48] <hggdh> coafcv: by default it will use your ~/.ssh/id_rsa*
[15:49] <coafcv> hggdh: I have no such files. I renamed all key files.
[15:53] <ehcah> joschi: I forgot to clean the 70-per... file before my reboot.
[15:53] <ehcah> Went in after a successfull boot and not appear to have eth0~3 in a dual NIC box.
[15:53] <coafcv> is it possible to be noobish enough to allow keyless and passwordless logins and I accidentally did that?
[15:54] <coafcv> or is there something else going on?
[15:54] <ehcah> Can I rename eth2 & 3 back to 0 & 1 and reboot? After deleting the faulty lines?
[15:56] <joschi> ehcah: yes. just edit the 70-persistent-net.rules file accordingly
[15:57] <ehcah> Ok. I tried it anyway and rebooted. I think this machine has eth1 with a smaller last digit MAC ID then eth0.
[15:58] <ehcah> My other box is smaller on eth0 if that makes sense. I must have reversed them.
[16:00] <ehcah> one last question. are all networking services defaulted to either eth0 or eth1? Meaning that I do not have to change any other files?
[16:02] <joschi> ehcah: just check /etc/network/interfaces to be sure
[16:04] <ruben23> guys how do i read this capacity---------> drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 45096960 2010-09-18 12:19 ORIG
[16:06] <hggdh> ruben23: not sure what you are actually asking about, but it says "full access to everybody and their cousins, owned by root
[16:10] <Patrickdk> 45megs?
[16:11] <hggdh> oh, capacity... I read 'capability', sorry
[16:28] <ftpd> Hi.
[16:29] <ftpd> I have ubuntu-server with lighttpd + php5 + mysql and 1GB RAM and php+mysql use ~800MB.
[16:29] <ftpd> How to improve the performance?
[16:29] <ftpd> I've enabled suhoshin in php, but it didn't helped much.
[16:32] <au> umm
[16:32] <au> how much is php using?
[16:35] <ftpd> http://cl.ly/2e5d121809d26e0bcd70 - here's htop output
[16:42] <ehcah> Joschi: Thank you for your help. Everything is working again. Can I bother you with one more question?
[16:58] <pkhamre> will I loose data if I delete the superblock of two raid1 devices with 'mdadm --misc --zero-superblock' and then create a new raid1 with mdadm --create ?
[17:03] <jetole> morning lagies and gents
[17:03] <jetole> *ladies
[18:43] <jetole> Can anyone recommend a good method to audit all activity on all servers?
[18:44] <jetole> basically an ongoing audit so I can see what has been done.
[18:45] <jetole> I was thinking something along the lines of process accounting, audit daemon, splunk and tripwire
[18:49] <Mateo_> hey :)
[18:49] <Mateo_> i can't get xdebug to work ... strange, i've configured my php.ini, installed php5-xdebug
[18:53] <halvors2> How to set the configuration.php file writeable?
[18:53] <ruben23> guys any have tried using unebootin on installing ubuntu server..? 8.04 LTS
[19:09] <jetole> halvors2: chmod +w configuration.php
[19:09] <jetole> ruben23: you mean unetbootin
[19:12] <ruben23>  jetole: yes, on the installation after keyboard its displaying erro no dcrom detetced
[19:20] <jetole> ruben23: which release? That sounds like a error
[19:20] <jetole> I have been using preseed for a while and it's been around even longer so requiring a CD seems like a pretty big error since there has been other methods of install since before CD existed
[19:22] <halvors2> jetole: But where is configuration.php located?
[19:22] <halvors2> jetole: Can i do it global?
[19:23] <jetole> halvors2: I don't even know what you're referring to. You just asked how to make it writable
[19:23] <jetole> that command I gave you applies to any regular file and a lot of special files to
[19:23] <jetole> *too
[19:23] <ruben23>  jetole: release of unibotin-its version.?
[19:24] <jetole> ruben23: actually I meant the OS release but I don't care anymore. I'm kinda busy. My suggestion to you would be to use a different tool then unetbootin
[19:32] <draik> I'm trying to connect to my Ubuntu server (10.04) via 110 and I get the following error message
[19:33] <draik> -ERR Plaintext authentication disallowed on non-secure (SSL/TLS) connections.
[19:33] <jetole> what pop3 server are you using?
[19:33] <draik> So then I try to connect on 995, but get disconnected instantly
[19:33] <draik> jetole: Dovecot
[19:33] <jetole> /join #dovecot
[19:33] <draik> Thank you.
[19:33] <jetole> np
[19:55] <ruben23> hi guys during installation of ubuntu 8.04 server i get this error------>http://pastebin.com/fTVhEhLT
[20:01] <jetole> ruben23: why are you installing 8.04?
[20:01] <ruben23> ubuntu 8.04 LTS..
[20:01] <jetole> why?
[20:02] <ruben23> its been a requirement for my application its tested and running for that version..
[20:02] <jetole> I see
[20:02] <halvors2> How set the configuration.php file writeable at all vurtual hosts under apache?
[20:03] <jetole> halvors2: try #httpd
[20:39] <Name141> Would I want Ubuntu server edition if I wanted to use my old 10GB pentium 2 for a file serving?
[20:39] <Name141> or would the minCD be more compact?
[20:39] <jo-erlend> ubuntu server fits well in that space.
[20:40] <Name141> Will it install stuff I don't want too? like apache, etc?
[20:40] <jo-erlend> no.
[20:40] <jo-erlend> it uses tasksel to let you choose which services you want. If you don't choose any, then only the base system is installed.
[20:42] <Name141> OK, I imagine the MinCD is going to download a lot of data since it has no packages ?
[20:42] <jo-erlend> I don't know what MinCD is.
[20:42] <Name141> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[20:43] <jo-erlend> well, then it will download what you need.
[20:43] <Name141> the server edition is too big for me to download now too, 672MBs
[20:43] <_Techie_> jo-erlend, its a cd with just the installer
[20:43] <jo-erlend> oh, ok. Then that sounds like a good choice.
[20:44] <Name141> My daily bandwidth cap is 425MBs, which my meter is showing 382MBs left
[20:44] <Name141> I hope the min install wont download much
[20:44] <Name141> or it'll have to wait
[20:44] <jo-erlend> Name141, if you're only going to use it for nfs, then you'll save quite a bit of bandwidth by using the minimal cd.
[20:44] <Name141> OK.
[20:45] <Name141> I have unlimited bandwidth between 1-6 AM
[20:45] <Name141> but sometimes I'm asleep
[20:45] <_Techie_> Name141, then thats when id install it just incase
[20:45] <Name141> _Techie_: my ISP allows me one "FAP" reset
[20:45] <Name141> per month
[20:46] <Name141> after that it's an extra $13.50
[20:46] <Name141> or wait 24 hours
[20:46] <_Techie_> errrm, im sorryy... fap reset?
[20:46] <Name141> Yeah Fair Access Policy
[20:46] <_Techie_> i see
[20:46] <_Techie_> because fap, means something different
[20:46] <Name141> AKA: how they rape you when you can't get nothing but sat access in the country
[20:47] <_Techie_> anyway sounds good
[20:47] <_Techie_> i would still wait till 1- 6 am to install it though
[20:47] <_Techie_> or atleast not do it same day
[20:48] <_Techie_> and ive gotta shut down my pc now to remove a graphics card im selling
[20:48] <_Techie_> fun fun
[20:48] <Name141> is it something like a 5670 or 9800 GT?
[20:48] <_Techie_> 8600GT
[20:48] <Name141> or 4770 with GDDR5
[20:48] <Name141> oh
[20:49] <Name141> my 4670 probably out does it
[20:49] <_Techie_> unfortunately my 5770 turbos are mine
[20:49] <_Techie_> and i wont be selling those for quite awhile
[20:49] <Name141> I thought about waiting for the 6000 series to release and getting a 4770 for cheap
[20:49] <jetole> Name141: why do you have a daily bandwidth cap?
[20:49] <Name141> since I'm in XP anyway and on DX9
[20:49] <Name141> jetole: Hugeshnet
[20:50] <jetole> and they give you a daily bandwidth cap?
[20:50] <Name141> Yes
[20:50] <_Techie_> anyway, bbs... now wheres that damn screwdriver
[20:50] <Name141> Wildblue gives you a monthly cap
[20:50] <jetole> thats pretty fucked up
[20:50] <Name141> with no unlimited hours
[20:50] <Name141> so I said 'uh ok bye" and hung up on them
[20:50] <_Techie_> RudyValencia, what are you doing in here?
[20:50] <jetole> afaik I don't have a monthly cap but either way, I can download tons of ISO in a day
[20:51] <Name141> yeah I should move closer to the city (2 miles)
[20:51] <jetole> Name141: I'd get the whole ubuntu server CD. split it in two since it's available via ftp
[20:51] <guntbert> !ot
[20:51] <Name141> I could get DSL and cable
[20:51] <jetole> get cable
[20:51]  * jetole hates DSL
[20:51] <Name141> they wont run out this far
[20:51] <_Techie_> guntbert, dont be a killjoy
[20:51] <RudyValencia> _Techie_: My server runs Ubuntu
[20:52] <Name141> but yet suddenlink says they are 'expanding coverage all the time'
[20:52] <jetole> all of the servers I run except for one centos all run ubuntu
[20:52] <jetole> 20 something
[20:52] <guntbert> _Techie_: why don't you take it to #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[20:52] <_Techie_> guntbert, its not harming the channel
[20:53] <Name141> jetole: I'll schedual the server ISO for 1AM
[20:53] <guntbert> _Techie_: it is off topic and it might hide a genuine support request
[20:53] <_Techie_> also its a conversation between a select group of users that belong to this channel, not the spammy mess of #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:53] <_Techie_> guntbert, if a support requiest comes along, we will see it
[20:53] <Name141> jetole: but I'll go ahead and try the minCD to see how much it'll download now
[20:53] <jetole> Name141: I'm pretty sure it will download more then the stock ISO
[20:54] <Name141> jetole: just for openssh-server and samba ?
[20:55] <jetole> Name141: well it install the whole server afaik and even with the stock it spends a while downloading updates on the install when it's net connected on a 100mbps line in the data center we use
[20:56] <jetole> thank god I use a apt cache/proxy since I do net installs via preseed+pxe
[20:57] <Name141> so the best bet would be to wait on the server ISO to download later tonight ?
[20:57] <jetole> yeah
[20:57] <jetole> Name141: you have dial up?
[20:58] <Name141> well it looks like I'll have to wait anyway
[20:58] <Name141> the minISO didn't even boot
[20:58] <Name141> took me straight to the desktop
[20:58] <Name141> aint that a waste of a CD-R
[20:58] <jetole> should have but the minISO, afaik, is just the bare minimum to boot the system
[20:58] <_Techie_> !unetbootin | Name141
[20:59] <Name141> USB1.1 install ?
[20:59] <_Techie_> yeah
[20:59] <Name141> :-|
[20:59] <Name141> monkey crazy.
[20:59] <jetole> yeah you can install via USB
[20:59] <_Techie_> if your motherboard supportws bootign from USB
[20:59] <Name141> I doubt it supports anything
[20:59] <jetole> I've done it a dozen+ times before
[20:59] <Name141> I have to force ACPI
[20:59] <_Techie_> i do it all the time, i hardly ever have blank discs around
[20:59] <Name141> since it's before 2000
[20:59] <jetole> ouch
[21:00] <_Techie_> okay, maybe thats a bit to excessive for your machine then
[21:00] <jetole> I'm reading a tripwire how to on Linux Journal that is really weird
[21:01] <jetole> the way the guy keeps spelling stuff, I don't know what country he is from
[21:01] <jetole> After everythin' has been placed in th' proper directories, either from a binary package or compilin' th' sources, th' first action t' take as root is t' generate two robust—that is, hard t' guess—passphrases
[21:01] <jetole> wtf
[21:02] <_Techie_> makes sesnse to me
[21:02] <jetole> what dialect is that?
[21:03] <_Techie_> no clue
[21:03] <jetole> Irish?
[21:03] <_Techie_> but i can read it perfectly fine
[21:03] <jetole> I can understand I don't think I have ever seen any english written like that
[21:04] <jetole> *I can understand it bur I don't
[21:04] <jetole> *but
[21:04] <_Techie_> jetole, my brain automaticaly corrects typo's as i read so things make sense
[21:05] <jetole> well I had a couple but what I quoted from that article isn't a typo
[21:05] <jetole> it's a dialect
[21:05] <_Techie_> yes, but the same brain function operates
[21:05]  * jetole nos
[21:05] <jetole> *nods
[21:06] <jetole> ah I can't type worth a crap when I'm hung over
[21:06] <Name141> Anyway, looks like the server-iso is gonna have to be the option
[21:06] <Name141> I don't see nothing with the min cd in
[21:06] <_Techie_> i cant type for crap either, my fingers move faster than my brain
[21:06] <Name141> that even says 'press here to boot'
[21:06] <Name141> or anything at all
[21:06] <jetole> Name141: do you know how to burn an ISO?
[21:06] <Name141> jetole: I burnt it like the rest
[21:06] <jetole> Name141: also, is your computer set to boot off one
[21:06] <Name141> with Ashampoo
[21:07] <Name141> jetole: it always had before
[21:07] <jetole> I don't know what ashampoo is but ISO are not like writing normal files to disk and if the minimal CD didn't boot then I don't know why the stock ISO will be any different
[21:08] <_Techie_> Name141, may i suggest using imgburn, it works well and is almost impossible to stuff up
[21:08] <_Techie_> also its free
[21:08] <Name141> _Techie_ jetole: I just got rid of Nero cause I could get Ashampoo 2010 for free and legal.
[21:09] <Name141> I don't see why I'd start dancing around ISO/music/DVD burning programs ;/
[21:09] <_Techie_> Name141, im not suggesting it because i want it to be your mainstream burning program
[21:09] <jetole> Name141: I didn't suggest you do. I just said make sure you burn it properly
[21:09] <_Techie_> im suggestign it because i know it works, and its almost impossible to screw up and select a wrong option
[21:10] <Name141> all the files are burnt properly, I put it in this machine and can see them with explorer
[21:10] <Name141> rather than an ISO file
[21:10] <jetole> Name141: then look into why it didn't boot otherwise you will likely have the same issue with the stock ISO too
[21:11] <Name141> jetole: Let me toss in the desktop edition CD
[21:11] <Name141> to see
[21:11] <_Techie_> anyway, im heading off very soon
[21:12] <_Techie_> i would give it a go with imgburn just incase it was a problem with the way ashampoo burnt the iso, one disc is cheaper than the bandwidth for the server CD
[21:12] <Name141> gah
[21:12] <Name141> The desktop edition isn't coming up now .
[21:13] <Name141> Maybe the boot order got changed or CD-RW went out
[21:13] <_Techie_> check your boot options in the bios
[21:13] <_Techie_> CD then HDD
[21:14] <Name141> yeah it looks to be correct..
[21:14] <Name141> ATAPI CD-ROM Drive
[21:14] <Name141> removable devices
[21:14] <Name141> hard drive
[21:14] <_Techie_> cya everyone
[21:14] <Name141> is the order
[21:15] <jetole> and they are all enabled
[21:15] <jetole> ?
[21:15] <Name141> yes
[21:15] <jetole> then perhaps your CD drive is fubar
[21:15] <Name141> maybe the $20 CD-RW I paid for 8 years ago went boom
[21:15] <Name141> I guess I can check in ubuntu
[21:17] <Name141> odd, I'm not setting nothing but 'file system' and 'floppy' under Computer
[21:18] <Name141> well it shows up now after I ejected and put the CD back in
[21:19] <Name141> and now the desktop CD is booting properly
[21:19] <Name141> .. odd
[21:19] <Name141> I'll try the min CD again
[21:21] <Name141> yeah now it boots
[21:21] <Name141> that's an odd one
[21:23] <Name141> jetole: of course I'm thinking about just shooting the machine or taking it in for scrap parts.. since the case weights about 4x what mine does
[21:24] <Name141> I bet I can get about $15 out of it
[21:31] <Name141> jo-erlend: the min ISO seems to  come with the base system?  It hasn't downloaded anything yet.
[21:31] <Name141> the base system install is at 55%
[21:38] <draik> How do you set the date, time, and timezone via CLI?
[21:40] <draik> disregard
[22:06] <RoyK> when using upstart, how can I list the started/stopped services?
