[00:09] Jumbers: sorry, got called away. I've tried using: route add 192.168.1.99 dev ppp0 . That along the right lines? [00:13] jurgen: what client OS? [00:15] xubuntu [00:15] runs headless [00:15] oh client is windows 7 [00:17] DormantOden: You'd need to do route add default I believe [00:17] jurgen: I asked because I used to have jitter on linux clients.. but winxp and later seem to do ok in that regard.. [00:18] jurgen: you may want to install sysstat.. which will give you some general stats every 10 minutes ... you can also run 'vmstat 5' to get a 5 second picture of blocks in / blocks out if you think the disks are really busy. [00:19] DormantOden: route add 192.168.1.99 dev ppp0 will just make a rule to send traffic bound for 192.168.1.99 down device ppp0 [00:19] ah, well, its half right =P [00:22] SpamapS: So, route add default gw 192.168.1.99 ppp0 would do it? [00:22] SpamapS: 192.168.1.99/32, yes [00:23] spamams: can i check how many MB's are sent to a local network IP with sysstat? [00:23] ah, kk [00:23] twb: that meant for me? [00:23] Sorry, yes. [00:23] awsome [00:23] Although "ip route add 0/0 via 192.168.1.99 dev ppp0" would be more modern [00:24] hmm, ok [00:24] twb: and that would work for both incoming and outgoing too? [00:24] There's no such thing as ingress routing. [00:25] Packets arrive; then you do something with them [00:26] jurgen: no, sysstat just records system stats available from the kernel for the most part. To record traffic to an IP you'd need to use iptables or something else. [00:26] twb: When you say "do somthing with them" I can just leave it too sort itself out right? [00:27] twb: iptables has a PREROUTING table that might disagree with that. ;) === Kimmono_ is now known as Kimmono === Kimmono is now known as Kimmono_ === Kimmono_ is now known as Kimmono__ === Kimmono__ is now known as Kimmono [00:35] DormantOden: that's the (egress) routing.

[02:25] MTecknology: yes, that's possible === _TechAway_ is now known as _Techie_ [02:54] Cheri703: provide a little more detail as to what you are seeing [02:54] "doesn't boot" is very vroad [02:54] broad [02:55] besides that I can't help much more :/ [02:56] well, when it was booting into a non-activated windows server installation, goes through the bios screen, then shows an scsi check, then would boot into the OS. I am probably not using the right terms. Now, after the "successful" installation of 10.04 server, it stops after the scsi check [02:56] I don't really have any more detail than that :( [03:08] hi I am trying to set up bind9 on a local network. I am fairly new to setting up these things. I just need to know what I am missing, in my config files to get this to work? [03:15] I can't see your config files.

Do i have to remove the old version? [03:18] jauntypaperclip: I think configuring bind is probably on-topic for #ubuntu-server (assuming he's configuring it on an Ubuntu host). [03:18] Pilif12p: you should run whatever version apt provides you with. [03:18] twb: I was trying to join off-topic and had a typo.

Instead, i get a screen which just has the message "Starting NTP server ntpd [ OK ]". If I hit CTRL-ALT-F1 I get back to all the kernel messages and tty1 with a login prompt. Any ideas how I can start right into tty1 without switching? Also, what exactly am I being switched to/ [05:43] I've found that i'm automatically being switched to tty7 (CTRL-ALT-F7... i don't have tty7 configured) when I boot up. How can I change this? [05:44] eroick: this is 10.04? [05:44] twb: yep [05:44] That's a known "feature" of plymouth [05:45] Booting without "splash" in the boot options doesn't actually help IIRC [05:46] twb: can i disable the bootsplash somehow? i see all of the kernel messages up to this point, then it switches to a mystery tty [05:46] afaict, you can't [05:46] hmm [05:46] this becomes a problem because I can't actually send CTRL-ALT-** to the machien [05:47] *machine [05:47] i.e. if you boot without splash, plymouth STILL RUNS, but in its own window it displays the console text instead of a spinner [05:47] downgrade to 9.10/ [05:47] eroick: you could write an upstart task that runs "chvt 1" when plymouth finishes [05:49] how would i get it to execute right after plymouth? [05:50] I assume plmouth generates an upstart event or something [05:50] Alternatively, you could just run a getty on tty7 [05:52] true [05:52] now i have another issue :P. when i ssh into it i can connect and authenticate alright but i get no shell [05:52] and no errors from ssh.. i've tried -vvv [05:53] and i've tried setting my default shell to various things (bash, dash, zsh) [05:56] twb: w even shows that the users are logged in and running a shell [07:21] When I install apache2, and than try to start it, it says there is no MPM package isntalled. So i tried to install apache2-mpm-prefork, but it still does not start === jj-afk is now known as jjohansen [08:05] Omfg.. wtf is happening with my server. It looks like apt-get is messed up or something.. When i do: 'apt-get install php5' on my second server, it installed apache2... but when i do it on my production server, it complains about all sorts of dependencies who aren't satisfied [08:06] it says apache2.2-common isn't configured [08:07] and it says apache2-mpm-prefork is unconfigured [08:09] neerq: pastebin the transcript [08:10] twb: sure, one second [08:11] oh no [08:11] most of the errors are in dutch [08:11] LC_ALL=C, then reproduce [08:11] export LC_ALL=C, that is [08:11] oh [08:11] okay [08:12] i'll try it agai [08:12] n [08:12] i am now trying to do aptitude reinstall php5, which gives me the same errors as when i tried to install it at first [08:13] Uh, so "it complains about all sorts of depencies"... you just ignored them and installed php5 anyway? [08:14] well, that's because i have exactly the same setup at home.. and when I installed php5 here, it worked without these errors [08:14] twb: http://pastebin.com/ArVxfkpJ this is the output === jussi01_ is now known as jussi [08:15] "The following partially installed packages [...]" [08:16] That means that the last attempt to install those packages failed due to something going wrong in their post-install scripts, or due to you manually interrupting it. [08:16] yeah.. that's true [08:16] because it sayed something like: 'no mpm package installed' [08:16] Which is probably the same as "ERROR: Module reqtimeout does not exist!" [08:16] oh.. i saw that one too.. yes [08:17] You can ignore the mpm warning for now, that's happening because of the previous error [08:17] You need to work out what the reqtimeout thing is about [08:17] Maybe you're referring to that package in your apache config? [08:17] but what is strange.. when i do purge, or apt-get remove --purge, it looks like there still is some apache2 files left behind [08:18] which package? you mean mpm package, or reqtimeout? [08:19] apache2.2-common is what's failing [08:19] Try looking through /var/lib/dpkg/info/apache2.2-common.{pre,post}{rm,inst} for references to reqtimeout. [08:19] Also grep -r /etc -e reqtimeout [08:20] i tried to install these packages manually too.. like this: apt-get install apache2 apache2.2-common libapache2-mod-php5 etc.. [08:20] okay, i'll do that right now [08:20] neerq: don't try to install packages manually [08:20] You will make matters worse [08:20] yeah.. i was kind of out of options.. [08:21] Apart from "understanding the problem" [08:21] :P that's true [08:21] when I do grep -r /etc -e reqtimeout, i get 6 errors which say 'no such file or directory' [08:22] grep: /etc/blkid.tab: No such file or directory [08:22] for example [08:22] neerq: ignore those [08:23] okay, that's all i get [08:23] i am now looking in /var/lib/dpkg/info/apache2.2-common.* [08:23] twb: this file (/var/lib/dpkg/info# vi apache2.2-common.postinst) has a reference to reqtimeout [08:24] a2enmod -q reqtimeout [08:24] with if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt 2.2.15-1~0; then above it [08:24] So it's trying to enable a module that doesn't exist [08:24] twb: it looks like it [08:24] So it's trying to enable a module that doesn't exist when it's upgrading (from?) a version less than 2.2.15 [08:25] i had apache installed previously, from source [08:25] Well, that was fucking stupid [08:25] really? why [08:26] btw, i had the same apache from source on my local server [08:26] Because the version that apache ships doesn't understand Debian systems [08:26] Er, s/debian/ubuntu/ [08:26] And likewise, Ubuntu infrastructure won't "see" that apache. [08:26] but why would it complain about it then? because, if it doesn't see it, that if-statement would be false.. right? [08:27] the installation from source was version 2.2.15 [08:27] Maybe one of the tests in that script looks for a program, and the program is there but (as far as dpkg knows) the apache package isn't -- so it gets really confused. [08:27] okay... that makes sense [08:27] That's just one example of a whole slew of things that could go wrong [08:28] so what should i do now? [08:28] The safest thing would be to backup your data and reinstall the whole OS from scratch, and this time, stick to packaged software in the ubuntu archive. [08:29] If you're lucky/clever/careful, you might be able to clean up the messy bits and reinstall apache and friends without needing to do a full reinstall [08:29] so i would have to remove every old file from the old apache [08:30] Ideally, yes [08:30] because, the first option would mean a 2 hour drive to the server.. which I don't like so much :P [08:30] neerq: well, consider that the cost of this lesson :P [08:30] yeah [08:31] any way to find out which file the package's tests are detecting? [08:31] Of course, there are ways to do remote installs... [08:31] really? [08:31] neerq: not without deep knowledge of the specific package's packaging (in this case, apache) [08:31] hmm [08:31] okay [08:32] this sucks.. [08:33] If it's any consolation, it's a pretty common cock-up for for new admins to make [08:34] i think i'll have a look at the remote installation [08:37] twb: are you sure it's possible? I have upgraded ubuntu remotely before.. but the only thing about installation i can find are questions [08:39] That's because Ubuntu users are idiots. The documentation is mostly in the appendices of the installation-guide-amd64 package. [08:39] twb: erm... [08:40] twb: Not sure it's cool to refer to Ubuntu users as idiots. [08:40] Assuming you have remote TCP/IP but no remote KVM, what you need to do is bootstrap the netboot d-i kernel and ramdisk with the "auto" option (and a few others), which will cause d-i to guess its way to the point where you can ssh into it and complete the install. [08:42] neerq: If you haven't done it before... preseeding, and my favoured way is dropping it in a re-rolled initrd. It *will* take you more than 2 hours to do this, but valuable learning exercise for 'next time'. [08:43] Twb, okay, thanks.. i'll try to find some documentation about it.. [08:43] Daviey: to drop what in a re-rolled initrd? [08:53] You can also provide the preseed file via HTTP, and *FINALLY* via TFTP [08:53] neerq: As twb points out, you 'pre-answer' some or all of the questions the ubuntu server asks (called d-i) [08:53] (Meaning that if you PXE, you can put it on your TFTP server right next to d-i itself.) [08:53] twb: Well yes, http works.. but you still need to preseed the network configs (unless you have dhcp) [08:53] Nod. [08:53] If I'm doing bulk preseeding I'm usually in a DHCP-ful environment. [08:53] Er, s/bulk preseeding/bulk (net)installs/ [08:53] yeah... would be foolish not to :) [08:53] Remind me, how do you forge an proxied HTTP request? [08:53] nc 203.7.155.7 8080 <<<$'GET / HTTP/1.0\nHost: example.net\n\n' [08:53] ...isn't working. [08:53] Ah, I need the full URL in the GET. Thanks, curl -v. [08:55] <_ruben> twb: how is that a forged proxied request? :) [08:56] Well, only inasmuch as I forged it myself [08:56] out of bits [08:58] <_ruben> i was wondering about both the forged as well as the proxied part ;) [08:58] <_ruben> seemed like a plain request to me [09:00] twb: okay.. i have removed every single apache2 related file i could find [09:00] is there anything i should do, before using apt-get install apache2 again? [09:00] <_ruben> could try 'apt-get install -f' first [09:01] and should i do 'apt-get install php5' (because that installed apache2 on my server at home)? [09:01] <_ruben> it'll try to fix any brokenness [09:01] shouldn't i clean/purge/remove some things first? [09:03] <_ruben> depending on how much things are messed up by now, that might or might not be needed [09:05] omfg [09:05] okay [09:05] it *looks* like it is working now [09:05] apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName :D [09:36] When is it time to create your own apt mirror, and how much disk space would that require? I have here 28 Ubuntu computers. Our ISP closed down their own server, and now I'm pulling updates from another server. [09:36] alvin: apt-get install apt-cacher-ng ? [09:37] A mirror consumes a few hundred gigabytes of storage [09:38] install apt-cacher-ng and raise the expire time so packages don't expire that quickly [09:38] Ah, there's an expire time [09:39] well, it's a cacher really [09:39] I'll have to think about it. These are two very different methods. [09:40] Jeeves_, thats not true, I mirror main, universe and multiverse for 3 versions of Ubuntu in less than 100GB. [09:40] of course you don't want to mirror universe. [09:41] (using apt-mirror here) [09:41] yann2: I guess the point is that you are using up space and bw for a lot of packages you'll never need. just sitting there [09:41] True, but space and bandwidth is something I have [09:42] cemc, main isnt that big [09:42] and I guess pulling from the country mirror with 28 machines at once isn't very polite. Hence the question. [09:42] alvin: I wouldn't worry about 28 machines [09:43] .nl has about 35000 machines pulling packages [09:43] they're ok too [09:43] :-) nice to know [09:43] Pulling the complete archive is much more expensive [09:43] depends, its also about speed, much nicer to get packages locally [09:44] plus if you dont have too much bandwidth like me you can sync during the night :) [09:44] alvin: that's why they called mirrors ;) [09:45] True. We have no download limit, but it's not a very speedy connection. [09:45] alvin: I'd install a cacher [09:46] That'll probably be the solution. [09:46] Thanks for all the answers [09:46] alvin: try apt-cacher first, and you can always set up a local mirror later if you really need it. but if you have like 28 production servers which you occasionally apt-get update, there's no point for a whole local mirror (imho) === jjohansen is now known as jj-afk [10:02] I want to install 'apache2-prefork-dev', but that also installs mysql-common, libmysqlclient-dev and libmysqlclient16 [10:03] but i don't want mysql to be installed [10:03] is there a way to do this without mysql?

[12:11] <\sh> SpamapS: I need a python interface lib towards amazone EC2 / S3 services, to integrate into my project, to provision amazon and/or UEC VM instances easily [12:18] tgywa: simplest way would probably be to download the source package from karmic or hardy, one of which would be 5.2, and then build them on a lucid box and install. Downgrades can be tricky though, so I'd recommend purging 5.3 if you already have it installed... [12:19] tgywa: if you want to have 5.2 installed in parallel with 5.3 .. you'll need to put it somewhere other than /usr ... [12:20] \sh: uec-run-instances from the latest cloud-utils is pretty handy.. not a lib, but a cmdline tool that will do things like wait for ssh to be up, and even download the ssh keys from the console output and put them in your known_hosts file.

[12:30] tgywa: Even simpler might be to just create your own source package that builds a more monolithic php52 package without all of the modules in separate packages. [12:32] SpamapS, I use this way to compile PHP 5.2.14 and get it working on my Ubuntu 10.04 ...http://webpagedeveloper.me/blog/ubuntu-1004-lucid-lamp-server-running-php-52-and-53 [12:34] tgywa: yeah, so you can put that stuff into a rules file, but it is somewhat non trivial as a "first time trying to build a package" project. ;) [13:00] Hi guys, again! I'm testing a drbd cluster with soft RAID0 under it. I disconnected one of the sata HDDs of the master node form the sata cable to see what happens. DRBD saw it but "cat /proc/mdstat" doesn't see the change - shouldn't it be in degraded mode??? DRBD is in diskless mode now. [13:01] I have never made raid0 till now (only RAID1) with mdadm, but shouldn't it be in degraded mode when I forcibly disconnect the cable of one HDD (out of 2)???? [13:03] That wouldn't count as degraded mode. [13:05] <_ruben> raid0 can't "degrade", only "fail" [13:05] 2 disks of 10 GB RAID0'ed together doesn't mean the first 10 GB land on the first disk and the next 10 GB on the next. The first block is on disk 1, second block is ondisk 2, third block is on disk 1, etc. [13:06] So missing a disk would make it fail, like _ruben said. [13:06] Not just be degraded. [13:06] (blocks are 64kB by deafult, by the way) [13:07] toshko: Can you pastebin your /proc/mdstat [13:16] well ok, but it stays active for 15 min.now [13:18] http://pastebin.com/sGYHayEw [13:29] This is the syslog: http://pastebin.com/eS18U2jb [13:30] Seems that the DRBD is functioning correctly by migrating into diskless mode, but MD is doing nothing! [13:31] I'm suspecting a bug already! I could be hanging with 1 disk forever if a REAL failure occures :-)))) [13:32] hello I am stuck with Windows 7 talking to samba 3.0.28 on hardy , [13:32] user can login ok and write to the first level share but if I go down to subdirectories I get read-only [13:32] any idea ? [13:34] did you bother to check the permissions on your directories? [13:34] lau: are the permissions correct on down level subfolders? [13:34] works fine here on hardy and win7 [13:39] thx patdk-wk toshko i fixed it ! [13:40] I did check the permissions on your directories but not the usergroup :( === mathiaz_ is now known as mathiaz [13:55] mathiaz: o/ [13:55] ttx: o/ !

[14:45] SpamapS, [14:45] SpamapS, so ... is there any source to read ... or should I gues guess? [14:47] tgywa: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5 .. you can download the source packages listed there and look at the build process.. it is .. crazy though. [14:49] SpamapS, what to dounload from there? === xfaf is now known as zul [14:52] tgywa: seriously.. I'm going to stop you. The php5 package is *really* complicated. If you haven't ever looked at a package before, its NOT the first one you should look at. [14:53] SpamapS, I will do my first package building [14:53] tgywa: you're probably better off starting from scratch with the 'dh-make' package and building a new php52 package with that. [14:54] tgywa: you'll just need to add a few override rules to debian/rules to configure differently. Much much simpler. [14:56] uh...php52? [15:12] good luck with that [15:13] <_ruben> reminds me of trying to package/backport php4 for hardy .. ended up giving the devs root access to sort it out themselves and completely isolated the vm networkwise [15:13] <_ruben> "php4 is oel, dead" .. "yeah, but we have this legacy app" .. "so port it to php4" .. "that's too much work, just give us php4" [15:14] <_ruben> err .. port it to php5 ;) [15:16] Hi I need some help with LikewiseOpen issues: please read my problem at------------------>http://paste.ubuntu.com/513148/ [15:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/513148/ === ivoks-af1 is now known as ivoks === ivoks is now known as ivoks-afk [15:28] Snadder, hi [15:29] SpamapS, I am doing my first packaging ... question ...about the control file ... should I create my self ... or is that included in the downloaded source package?

[16:32] step 1: rtfm, step 2: ????, step 3: profit ;) [16:32] couldn't resist [16:33] Thedon_, just install sendmail [16:33] ive heard sendmail is old and postfix is better [16:34] also, i have installed sendmail in the past but the mail was never sent, just waited in the queue [16:37] Thedon_: postfix is more popular in the ubuntu community. so more support there [16:37] hello guys, I'm seeking for a good solution for a desktop cloud installation on a low-bandwidth connection (meaning 15kb/s download or so) for testing, my eyes are rolling around eyeOS and FreeNX, I'm seeking for some advice, besides the one that I shouldn't be doing it on that connection ;) [16:37] well can you tell me how to install and configure sendmail properly [16:38] Thedon_: don't use sendmail, use postfix https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/postfix.html [16:38] stickystyle: thanks [16:39] sendmail is a universe package so it doesn't get updates and patches as frequently as postfix which is in main [16:39] np [16:39] someone? [16:43] blackxored: are you talking about running a cloud locally? [16:43] i2v8an, no, the total oposite, running my desktop remotely [16:47] oh, so you're looking for a provider? [16:48] oh, wait now I get what you're asking. Isn't that kind of a client question rather than a server question? [16:48] i2v8an, it's a server cuestion since I'm going to install freenx or eyeOS or whatever you recommend on one server i'm administering, so I wanted to hear from you [16:48] then I'll connect to it over the afore-mentioned connection [16:49] I've used eyeOS in the past [16:56] blackxored, I found eyeOS to be more like a conferencing/ social hybrid. I think freenx looks like a heftier bit of software to play with. [16:57] i2v8an, I mean which is faster, I think eyeOS will restrict me a little, [16:58] this is for a ~15kb/s connection? I would think eyeOS would work faster since it's over http and uses your browser. [17:01] i2v8an, yeah I though that as well, but won't eyeOS restrict me, I mean it will let me actually "work in the cloud" I mean as I would on my desktop machine? [17:01] I mean I have terminal access, install stuff, everything like that [17:01] yeah, eyeOS is really just a web server toy [17:02] i2v8an, ok I'll give a try but I believe freenx will do it better, I just wish to have a faster one [17:02] freenx looks cooler... lol [17:04] zul: that mailman bug is not quite as simple as it first looked.... [17:05] where can i find a list with differences between ubuntu server 10.04 and 10.10? [17:12] anyone ever have problems with linux detecting when your ipaddress has changed due to a dynamic ip through you isp provider?? [17:13] if my isp chages my ip address (which happens every once in a blue moon) my firewall never detects that...not even after restarting...it either holds the old ip or no ip at all [17:13] dschuett: do you have the dynip client installed? [17:14] Thedon_: i have ddclient installed (is that the same thing?) [17:14] or what does dynip do? [17:14] dschuett: what dynamic dns service are you using? [17:15] dyndns [17:15] what isp? [17:15] cox [17:15] well I dont know anything about cox, but you will need to install the dyndns client to track you ip address [17:16] the reason i asked is because on my router (supplied by isp) there is a option to set up dyndns directly in the router [17:16] so i dont need the dyndns client [17:17] ddclient does that...but the problem is that my firewall that is supposed to update dyndns is what can't detect the new ipaddress... so therefore ddclient can't sent dyndns the new ip [17:18] ok, well is your server behind a router that is port forwarded ? [17:19] dschuett: [17:19] ? [17:20] my server IS the firewall... [17:20] and router [17:21] Thedon:^^ [17:21] Thedon_:^^ [17:22] ah ok, that may be a different problem to what i was thinking [17:23]
