[00:03] <methods> hi
[00:03] <methods> anyone successfully update intrepid lately ?
[00:03] <methods> it's like a massive pain
[00:19] <AndyGraybeal> does btrfs do acl inheritence passthrough, like zfs?
[00:19] <AndyGraybeal> or does it to any acl inheritence?
[01:12] <qman__> methods, since jaunty is no longer supported, I'm guessing it's not possible without a jaunty alternate disc
[03:09] <ehcah> Once I have  a 16 disk Raid6 array up and running.  I need to work on a backup solution.  My primary box has 16 x 2TB drives and I have one extra I will keep unopened as a spare.
[03:09] <ehcah> If I want to design a solution for disk based back up of this array that I can grow as my primary array grows, what would be a best practice?
[03:10] <ehcah> I don't believe the backup server needs the same level of raid.  It may need nothing more than a JBOD type solution?  I only 5TB of data right now, so in a perfect world, I want to start with 3-4 2TB drives and add disk only as needed.
[03:29] <jmarsden> ehcah: See http://blog.backblaze.com/2009/09/01/petabytes-on-a-budget-how-to-build-cheap-cloud-storage/ for one way to build storage servers :)
[03:51] <hxcjonnysniper> ubuntu won't boot all the way. it gets stuck at "checking battery state" anyone know what to do?
[03:55] <hxcjonnysniper> ubuntu won't boot all the way. it gets stuck at "checking battery state" anyone know what to do?
[03:55] <KB1JWQ> !repeat | hxcjonnysniper
[03:56] <hxcjonnysniper> ubottu: i have been doing that for the past 3 days straight.
[04:02] <jhansonxi>  hxcjonnysniper: Just guessing but try disabling ACPI with "acpi=off" in the kernel boot line in grub:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[04:56] <lwizardl> ji
[05:00] <lwizardl> anyone here know much about raid cards ?
[05:05] <ball> I use one, fwiw
[05:11] <Error404NotFound> is there any ami for lucid on amazon?
[05:11] <Error404NotFound> i was to test a t1.micro
[05:13] <lwizardl> one of my friends is trying to build a data storage only server and wants to setup the machine to use a raid-5 for his drives. and he is looking for a good hardware raid pci controller (not pci-e). anyone know of some good ones ?
[08:25] <Error404NotFound> i am unable to connect to my vsftpd on ubuntu lucid server, get http://pastebin.com/ijNabvjh have verified that password is correct
[12:56] <ehcah> jmarsden:  It's too bad those web based services scare me soo much.  I'd use them and not worry about recreating their solution in my basement.  Besides, their bandwith tells me I could back up about 4TB to them a day. Incrementally speaking, that would be nothing.
[14:23] <rushdy> Hi there! I'm following the server guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/likewise-open.html) and have used Likewise Open to join our school domain. I seem to be missing the utilities listed in the Other Utilities section? lwinet, lwimsg, lwiinfo, likewise-winbindd (which I was hoping to use for NTLM with Squid). Any ideas?
[15:09] <cerberos> I've got MAILTO=name@domain.com at the top of my crontab file and * * * * * date on the next line but I'm not getting any emails
[15:25] <kaushal> Hi
[15:26] <kaushal> Can i push any DNS names to the DHCP Clients ?
[15:26] <kaushal> For example if i want to push DNS Names 8.8.8.8 ?
[15:26] <kaushal> will that work
[15:26] <kaushal> I am using DHCP Server on Ubuntu Linux Server 10.04
[15:28] <padhu> kaushal: you can add it in /etc/resolv.conf
[15:29] <kaushal> padhu: i dont want to add it manually :)
[15:39] <kaushal> padhu: Anything else be done ?
[15:40] <ehcah> Can anyone vouch for a solid "Cloud" backup solution for Linux NAS?
[15:41] <ehcah> Does such a thing exist outside of Mac and Windows?
[15:41] <padhu> are you using proxy?
[15:42] <kaushal> padhu: Are you referring to me ?
[15:42] <padhu> kaushal: yeah
[15:43] <kaushal> nope
[17:16] <Aison> argh, i'm trying to setup nfs4 between ubuntu servers, but this is making me crazy
[17:16] <Aison> i can mount the shares, idmapd is working, etc...
[17:16] <Aison> rights, users and groups are shown correctly
[17:16] <Aison> but I can't write, I allways get permission denied
[17:25] <SpamapS> ok, too bursty and unusable with the keyboard like this.. will check back in later
[17:25] <SpamapS> ok, too bursty and unusable with the keyboard like this.. will check back in late/part
[18:25]  * ScottK hands SpamapS a <cr>.
[21:49] <abstrakt> hi so I'm setting up postfix (trying to) I've been reading a few documents, most notably https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/postfix.html and http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html
[21:49] <abstrakt> when I run service postfix restart
[21:49] <abstrakt> the message says stopping [ OK ] starting [ OK ] but I can't telnet to port 25 on this box
[21:50] <abstrakt> I can ssh to the box, but I can't get to port 25
[21:58] <abstrakt> here's my postfix config file, main.cf -> http://pastebin.com/YcsqFc53
[22:01] <mrmist> have you tried that locally as well?
[22:02] <abstrakt> mrmist, nope lemme try locally
[22:02] <mrmist> just to avoid any external issues
[22:03] <abstrakt> mrmist, yeah ok interesting, that does work
[22:03] <abstrakt> mrmist, telnet localhost 25
[22:03] <mrmist> firewalls?
[22:03] <abstrakt> 220 mylongiphostnamehere ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)
[22:04] <abstrakt> mrmist, hmm, not positive, let me check, I did a brief/cursory check for iptables
[22:04] <abstrakt> but I guess I didn't check well enough, brb
[22:04] <abstrakt> mrmist, as I said, I can ssh to the server just fine, and I can also get to port 80, both from outside the server
[22:04] <abstrakt> hmm, how do I exit telnet?
[22:05] <mrmist> quit
[22:05] <abstrakt> ahh nm
[22:05] <mrmist> that doesn't preclude a firewall that's blocking off port 25 though, of course.  But if your iptable rules are clear you should be ok there
[22:06] <sherr> netstat will show what's listening on an ip/ port e.g. netstat -lnpt
[22:06] <sherr> postfix is listening on all ports (inet_interfaces = all)
[22:06] <sherr> /interfaces/ I mean
[22:06] <abstrakt> yeah aptitude says iptables is installed, this is Ubuntu 10.10
[22:07] <abstrakt> where wouldu I find that? i don't see it in /etc/iptables
[22:07] <sherr> but is only going to accept mail from "localhost" because of "my_networks"
[22:07] <sherr> iptabes -L -n - will show if theer are rules loaded and active
[22:07] <abstrakt> ok which iptables reports /sbin/iptables
[22:07] <abstrakt> sherr, ok thanks
[22:08] <mrmist> you might want iptables -L -n -v
[22:08] <abstrakt> ok
[22:09] <abstrakt> mrmist, hmm, not much difference between the two
[22:09] <mrmist> -v gives you more info so you can see rules that govern specific ports etc.
[22:09] <abstrakt> http://pastebin.ca/1991589
[22:09] <abstrakt> mrmist, ^ is the output of iptables -L -n and iptables -L -n -v
[22:10] <mrmist> oh right it's all open
[22:10] <abstrakt> yeah :/
[22:10] <abstrakt> that's what I thought
[22:10] <mrmist> that's kinda odd then
[22:10] <abstrakt> exactly
[22:10] <abstrakt> mrmist, like I said, I can ssh in no problem
[22:10] <mrmist> The config suggests it should be working
[22:10] <abstrakt> blast :/
[22:11] <abstrakt> mrmist, could the myhostname and myorigin params have anything to do with it?
[22:11] <abstrakt> mrmist, what about the mynetworks
[22:11] <mrmist> Not in terms of refusing connectivity outright
[22:11] <mrmist> presumably where you are telneting *from* is not barred from accessing remote servers on port 25?
[22:12] <abstrakt> mrmist, here's my master.cf http://pastebin.ca/1991593
[22:13] <mrmist> what does netstat -n -l say
[22:13] <abstrakt> mrmist, netstat on what, on the server? or from my laptop?
[22:13] <mrmist> is it 0.0.0.0 25 listening
[22:13] <mrmist> on the server
[22:13] <abstrakt> k one sec
[22:13] <mrmist> tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:25              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
[22:13] <mrmist> is what you're looking for (or similar)
[22:14] <abstrakt> mrmist, I do in fact have this line
[22:14] <abstrakt> tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:25              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
[22:14] <abstrakt> copied and pasted
[22:14] <mrmist> ok. i reckon, then, that it's actually working, but for some reason you can't telenet to it from your laptop host
[22:14] <mrmist> on port 25
[22:15] <abstrakt> dammit :(
[22:16] <mrmist> maybe there's some other host you can test connecting from?
[22:16] <mrmist> or, just leave it up for a few days and the spammers will test it for you.. if you see rejections in your mail logs you know it's up and running
[22:17] <abstrakt> mrmist, yeah weird, because earlier I was seeing rejections in my logs
[22:17] <abstrakt> but now
[22:17] <abstrakt> I'm not seeing anything else anymore
[22:17] <abstrakt> dangit, must have borked something
[22:18] <mrmist> could be coincedental.  Try restarting the deamon
[22:18] <abstrakt> mrmist, I have, a few times
[22:18] <mrmist> oh :(
[22:18] <abstrakt> yeah
[22:18] <mrmist> You might need someone more knowledgable to check your config, but the key  bits seem similar to mine which works
[22:19] <mrmist> gotta say, though, that it looks like it's working :)
[22:20] <abstrakt> mrmist, http://pastebin.ca/1991598
[22:20] <abstrakt> mrmist, is my maillog, so it was working at one point, because I saw spammers hitting it, but I see no more spammers :(
[22:20] <abstrakt> lol, the one time I can say that with a frowny face :P
[22:21] <mrmist> ha
[22:21] <mrmist> it could be that they're just not connecting jsut now.  Of course that doesn't really help if what you want to do is connect from your laptop
[22:26] <abstrakt> mrmist, back
[22:26] <mrmist> re
[22:27] <mrmist> Unfortunately I don't think I can do any more to help, short of testing your server from my own if you want to pm the IP.  (You are at liberty not to)
[22:32] <abstrakt> well floop
[22:32] <mrmist> Hopefully some other folk will have some input on it
[22:33] <abstrakt> ok, I'm gonna contact rackspace support, see if they can help me :)
[22:34] <mrmist> also may I recommend some firewall rules might be an idea, esp if it's net connected ;)
[22:42] <ubuntu4shane> ok, I setup my lamp server, (through tasksel) and it worked fine, then I started with virtual server, and enabled a site with a2ensite and reloaded apache, apache reports no errors upon reload, when I go to the site, it says forbidden
[22:42] <ubuntu4shane> any ideas?
[22:44] <mrmist> no index file and directory indexes turned off?
[22:44] <ubuntu4shane> mrmist, for me?  not sure I follow you.
[22:44] <squishy> improper file permissions on index file/dir?
[22:45] <mrmist> yes. i mean you'd get that if you didn't have an index.html or similar and indexes were disallowed through config
[22:46] <ubuntu4shane> ohh, got it, it was permissions on the folder
[22:46] <ubuntu4shane> wasn't set to 755
[22:46] <mrmist> :)
[22:46] <ubuntu4shane> thanks!!  That was the simplest setup I have done
[22:46] <ubuntu4shane> I have been through this a few times, and every time it gets easier.
[22:48] <ubuntu4shane> thanks mrmist squishy !
[22:49] <mrmist> all props to squishy i think in this case
[22:51] <abstrakt> mrmist, yeah it looks like it's my ISP I think
[22:52] <abstrakt> awww, lol whoops, just missed him
[23:50] <abstrakt> where do I find the dovecot SASL socket? my /etc/dovecot/auth.d/01-mail-stack-delivery.auth says it should be in /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth but I don't have any such file?
