uvirtbotNew bug: #675355 in bind9 (main) "package libbind9-30 1:9.4.2.dfsg.P2-2ubuntu0.5 failed to install/upgrade: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/67535500:26
abstraktif I want to have users on the system already be the users who have email accounts, then I use postfix with dovecot sasl and mechanisms = plain login... if I want to have virtual users, then I'll need to setup up dovecot as per http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall instead00:40
abstraktis this correct?00:40
abstraktcan someone help me with setting up dovecot virtual users for postfix?01:21
abstraktI tried the instructions here http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall but that doesn't work01:22
abstraktmy postfix + dovecot + sasl implementation works fine01:22
abstraktbut that's only good for users that already exist on the system01:22
arrrghhhi added a job to my user's crontab, and it doesn't seem to be running... where does cron log to03:18
tonyyarussoarrrghhh: Normally it sends mail to the running user.03:19
arrrghhhhrm03:19
arrrghhhin /var/mail...?03:19
tonyyarussoarrrghhh: yeah03:22
AndyGraybealarrrghhh, tonyyarusso, would that show up in syslog at all?03:22
tonyyarussowell, assuming delivery to the local system.03:22
AndyGraybealalso?03:23
arrrghhhi don't use any mail system on here03:23
arrrghhh/var/mail is empty03:23
arrrghhhlet me check syslog03:23
tonyyarussoAndyGraybeal: It *might* show up in mail log, but I don't think so for local accounts.  Don't remember offhand.03:23
tonyyarussoarrrghhh: could also be $HOME/Mail or $HOME/Maildir - lots of ways to configure this I'm afraid :S  (or disable entirely)03:24
arrrghhhwell i never did anything in respect to mail03:27
arrrghhhi don't have a $HOME/mail anything03:28
arrrghhh.mail03:28
arrrghhhMail03:28
arrrghhhnothin03:28
arrrghhhnothing in syslog either.03:28
arrrghhhoh wait03:28
arrrghhhthere may be 1 sec haha03:28
arrrghhh MAIL (mailed 56 bytes of output but got status 0x004b#012)03:29
arrrghhhfrom cron03:29
arrrghhhhrm03:29
arrrghhhi know i've gotten mail from roots crontab03:29
arrrghhhi'll put the command in there, see what happens..03:29
=== squishy is now known as dotdotdot
arrrghhhso it looks like i do have a postfix/sendmail issue04:26
arrrghhh nas postfix/sendmail[8510]: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory04:27
arrrghhhbut i don't really need anything emailed outside of the local server... i mean i guess it would be nice to get email alerts, but i don't really want to set that up right now haha04:27
ehndehow do i convert a desktop install to a server install?04:41
ehndei just want to get rid of x and all the bloat that comes with it04:42
ehndetried apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop and it just removed the metapackage04:42
twbehnde: apt-get autoremove?04:43
ehndedidn't work either :(04:44
twbWhat about "aptitude install" without arguments?04:44
arrrghhhmight have to remove the packages manually.04:44
arrrghhhprobably easier to backup your configs and install -server fresh...04:45
twbYeah.  If you installed the metapackage at install time, or from a stupid broken tool, your auto database won't be populated and apt will think ALL packages were manually installed.04:45
ehndei thought i was installing off of a server cd, didn't realize it was desktop04:46
ehndei'll just download a fresh iso04:46
arrrghhhyou installed desktop?04:46
arrrghhhoh04:46
arrrghhhyea dude if it's a fresh install, install server.04:46
arrrghhhi think the kernel is different.04:46
arrrghhhprobably just compiled with some different options.04:46
ehndethanks04:47
arrrghhhnp04:47
twbHave a look at /var/lib/apt/extended_states; see if the packages in question have Auto-Installed: 104:47
twbIf not, reinstall is easiest04:47
twbarrrghhh: you *can* install from the alternate CD and then just change the installed packages -- both installers back onto the same archive.04:48
arrrghhh...so the kernel isn't different?04:48
twbThe kernel that's installed by default is different04:48
arrrghhhlike i don't think desktop 32-bit is compiled with PAE support04:48
twbBut you can simple say "apt-get install linux-image-amd64-server" or so04:48
twbObviously doing the install from the right medium is still preferable.04:49
arrrghhhhaha fair enough04:49
ehndeit was a virtual machine on esxi with 1gb of ram04:50
ehndeheh04:50
ehndethe website has changed drastically :o04:51
twbWhat website?04:52
ehndeubuntu.com04:52
twbI wouldn't know.  I just go to archive.ubuntu.com/dists/<release>/main/installer-<arch>/ or so04:57

solidrockbtw, i'm looking for ubuntu 8.10 backport address any idea on it?05:02
twbsolidrock: 8.10 is EOLd05:03
solidrockyea, that's why backports comes on it05:03
twbEr, no, that's why you should schedule an upgrade ASAP05:04
twbEOLd software receives no security patches05:04
solidrocki'm planning to switch on debian lenny but for the meantime i'm trying to install puppet on one of my ubuntu box05:04
twbIIRC the repos are still available somewhere; they get moved to a secondary area at EOL05:05
solidrocki'll be checking on it. This lately i've noticed while fetching for security updates it is no longer available and err comes on it.05:05
twbRIght; that's because it's EOLd05:06
solidrockwhat jaunty?05:06
arrrghhh9.0405:06
twbjaunty is the codename for (IIRC) 9.0405:06
solidrocki think jaunty is also EOLd05:07
twbhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades05:07
twbsolidrock: that covers the details you need; particularly it's s/archive/old-releases/ in sources.list05:07
solidrockei, can i upgrade from 8.10 to new release?05:08
twbsolidrock: yes05:08
solidrockeven on live05:08
twbsolidrock: you should follow the instructions on the page I linked to (and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Upgrades)05:08
twbsolidrock: I don't know what "on live" means.05:08
solidrockmeaning even on live production network05:09
solidrockdo the upgrade require reboot ?05:09
twbUpgrades to the kernel require a reboot05:09
twbA new release usually involves a new kernel05:09
solidrockso it's just a kernel what about the packages?05:10
twbMost packages do not require a reboot.05:10
solidrockwould there be an upgrade for the packages?05:10

Willem65hi everyone11:17
blackshirthi Willem6511:17
Willem65am I still on?11:18
Willem65forgive me if i'm clumsy, it's been a long time since I used irc11:19
twbWillem65: you are.11:19
Willem65I dropped in because I'm a little confused with all these firtualisation techniques in Linux11:19
Willem65I'll be back in a little while. I need a graphical client :-)11:20
twbPussy11:21
Willem65No :-)11:21
Willem65Ok... I'll stick with this.11:21
Willem65Regarding Ubuntu Hardy (8.04LTS)... Will it cause trouble using Xen, KVM and others together?11:22
twbI use vmware-server 1.x and openvz on the same 8.04 server.11:23
twbI don't know about xen and kvm together, specificall11:23
Willem65I want to move away from VMWare.11:23
Willem65It's a nice tool, but not open source11:24
twbI hate vmware11:24
yann2Willem65, upgrade to lucid if you plan on using KVM11:25
Willem65at the moment, I have one VM running in Xen, works nicely. Next I wanted to migrate an existing VM (Fedora) from VMWare to Xen...11:25
Willem65That is where the confusion started11:26
Willem65Yann2, thanks for the hint. Lucid = 9.something, right?11:26
twbI think the party line is: just use kvm for everything11:27
twbWillem65: lucid is 10.04LTS11:27
Willem65@twb, but in Lucid the Xen-tools package is missing, right?11:27
twbI don't know.11:28
twbOh yeah, I remember.  Xen dom0 isn't supported in 10.0411:28
twbWhy do you want Xen?11:28
Willem65Errr... Because it is the first OpenSource vm that I found :-)11:28
twbSo: ignorance.11:29
twb22:27 <twb> I think the party line is: just use kvm for everything11:29
Willem65[blush]11:29
twbI suggest you start with 10.04 and kvm and see how that goes11:29
twbAssuming you have hardware VM support, that is.11:29
Willem65@twb: I'll give it a go. Does it matter that it is a headless machine? I do everything from commandline.11:30
twbIt does not.11:30
Willem65Sounds good.11:30
twbkvm actually has better support than most; it can connect the guest's 80x25 vga console or serial console to a curses UI, a pty, or stdio11:30
twbvbox can't do ANY of that unless you get the proprietary version11:31
zion_11hi11:32
Willem65Hmm :-) Thanks for all the hints. Let me have a go at kvm then!11:32
Willem65Hi Zion11:32
zion_11my boss wants the following kind of scenario.  2 webservers,  1 local and one at another site, if one server goes down for whatever reason. the offsite server kicks into gear and the "user" sees no or virtually no down time for the website...anyone familliar with that soft of thing?11:33
zion_11sort^11:33
yann2twb, virtualbox is oracle now anyway, and will probably go the same way as other projects, so I wouldnt invest a dime in it11:34
the_archit3ctzion_11: what for ? website ?11:35
zion_11yes, website11:35
Willem65One more question about kvm before diving in all the way: Can a VM be migrated to another kvm enabled machine without too much fuss?11:35
the_archit3ctzion_11: server 1 -> cron + send website tarball to the other server11:37
the_archit3ctserver 2 -> receive tarball, extract11:37
the_archit3ctserver 2 always accessible via ip11:38
Willem65zion_11: Is the content of the website static or dynamic (e.g. database driven?)11:39
zion_11dynamic11:39
the_archit3ctand if server 1 is down, domain name => server 2 ip11:39
zion_11how do i set that "IF" ?11:39
zion_11i do a good bit of work with webservers/VM's and linux but im not really super-qualified in those areas...11:40
s093294Hello. I have two server-boxes, one working as firewall(192.168.0.1) and another that have an pptp connection open(ppp0, 79.142.229.95). What iptables commands would i need for forwarding all trafic on the pptp box to the firewall. I just use the pptp box to create the pptp connection. (so i can provide all my forwarding rules on my firewall instead of to boxes)?11:40
Willem65zion_11: Then you may want to use some kind of 'hot' replication between the main server and your backup.11:41
zion_11i think im looking for something that can test connectivity and then somehow authorize a switchover of service11:41
zion_11hmm11:42
the_archit3ctzion_11: server 2 -> cron : ping server 111:42
Willem65I need to get going... Wife has sandwiches for me :-)11:42
the_archit3ctif ping = 999 then change ip11:42

zion_11ok, ive been talking with my boss (he just got in)11:45
zion_11what we are looking at is, a 'front'11:45
zion_11sorry11:45
zion_11'front facing' server11:46
zion_11that has the task of detecting if server1 is up and would also direct web requests11:47
zion_11if it detects that server1 is down it would then start forwarding the requests to server211:47
the_archit3ctyup11:48
zion_11this "front-facing server" would  have to be in the same space as the "offsite" location to ensure availability11:48
the_archit3ctthis front facing server could be the server211:48
the_archit3ctno special need to have 3 servers11:49
the_archit3ctserver2 is a backup, so it will not have a lot of requests11:49
the_archit3ctso you can do it check all time if server 1 is up11:49

abstraktany of you guys know much about postfix and dovecot (POP3/SMTP)... I tried both the setuid root trick and the sudo trick as detailed here http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA but the instructions are a bit vague "Then start deliver as a user that belongs to secmail group." <- what does this mean exactly? how do I accomplish this? or this "Then configure your MTA to invoke deliver as user 'dovelda' and via sudo" <- what does that mean? I don't have a15:13
abstraktdovelda user only a dovecot user, am I supposed to make a new user called dovelda and if so, as before, how do I invoke the script "as" the dovelda user?15:13
DasEiabstrakt: one by one, so ..15:14
DasEiabstrakt: deliver as a user that belongs to secmail group ;; have a user peter, there is the group secmail  : sudo adduser peter secmail15:15
DasEiabstrakt: I assume your app created that group, check yourself15:15
abstraktDasEi: my app?15:16
abstraktDasEi: what app would that be? and no, "my app" didn't create that group, I created that group manually15:16
DasEiabstrakt: aka postfix,dovecot15:16
abstraktDasEi: no neither postfix nor dovecot created that group15:16
abstraktDasEi: I created it myself15:16
DasEiabstrakt: so add the desired user to it as shown above15:17
abstraktDasEi: ahh, I see... so since dovecot delivers mail as the relevant system user, I should add my system user to that group15:17
abstraktDasEi: I was adding the dovecot user itself to that group15:17
abstraktDasEi: ok what about option number two? using sudo?15:18
DasEiabstrakt: ŷour next question, be logged in as peter or dovelda or whatever, then start pulling mail from that account. If not in , a login peter (or whatever) brings you there15:19
DasEiabstrakt: or use sudo to pull with superuserprivilegs (less secure)15:20
abstraktDasEi: no it's not about pulling the mail, it's about delivering the mail15:22
abstraktDasEi: checking the mail isn't as much of an issue (so far)15:22
DasEiabstrakt: same approach15:25
abstraktDasEi: I still don't understand how to invoke sudo "as that user"... so you're saying that if I have a user such as johnsmith on my system, that when dovecot delivers mail it will deliver as johnsmith, so then I will need to add johnsmith to the sudoers file for the deliver command only?15:26
abstraktand I will need to add any and every other user on the system, who needs to receive mail, to the sudoers file as well, correct?15:27
DasEiabstrakt: no, either have johnsmith in the secmail and deliver from that account or prefix delivering with sudo, so won't get a permission problem15:27
Alex90hi, I'm trying to set up a server and it can resolve an address to an ip but then can't ping it. I've tried adding the default gateway with route add and it still can't get out.15:31
DasEiAlex90: you can't ping the the server or the server can't ping ?15:37
abstraktDasEi: but the document says to prefix with sudo and run the command "as the dovelda" user15:39
abstraktDasEi: I don't have a dovelda user15:39
abstraktDasEi: only a dovecot user15:39
abstraktDasEi: in regards to sudo that is15:39
Alex90DasEi: the server can't ping hosts on the internet15:40
DasEiabstrakt: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA15:41
abstraktDasEi: yes I read that15:42
DasEiAlex90: so sudo ping google.com doesn't work ? be aware many hosts drop pings for security reasons15:42
abstraktDasEi: I don't have a dovecotlda user15:42
DasEiabstrakt: again dovelda is a user as johnsmith, with the ability of sudo for delivering mail, and it's an insecure approach15:45
Alex90DasEi: no it doesn't but we can ping it form an external host. And I don't think it's being block as we had windows on that box before and it wored fine then.15:45
zulSpamapS: ping15:45
abstraktDasEi: ok, got it15:46
eriksson25anyone, need help with the comands for runing fsck on a ext4, its not mounted so just need the right comand15:46
DasEiAlex90: any firewall installed ? what is terminal-response if you enter sudo ping google.com, just timeout ?15:46
abstraktDasEi: so I would need to give every user who receives mail access to sudo for that one deliver command15:46
DasEiabstrakt? receives mail access ?15:47
DasEieriksson25: mount (check again its NOT mounted)15:47
DasEieriksson25: sudo fdisk -l (determine right partition)15:48
DasEieriksson25: sudo e2fsck /dev/whatever    ,with whatever your sdXX15:48
Alex90DasEi: yes there's a firewall but that didn't stop windows on the same box pinging so I don't see it would stop it now. When we ping it resolves the ip address then timesouts15:48
DasEiAlex90: try with fw down, that'll be the trick15:49
Alex90DasEi: how do I take it down? /etc/init.d/fw down??15:50
DasEiAlex90: which fw is installed ?15:50
DasEijust ufw ?15:50
Alex90alex90: no theres an ipcop box (just using iptables I believe)15:51
abstraktDasEi: yeah, deliver delivers mail as the user account of the user in question doesn't it? so if mail is going to johnsmith then deliver delivers as the user "johnsmith" and if it's going to "sallyjane" then it delivers as "sallyjane", so therefor both johnsmith and sallyjane (shell users with home dirs of /home/johnsmith and /home/sallyjane) would both need to be in the sudoers file with permission to run the dovecot deliver command as sud15:51
abstraktcorrect?15:51
Alex90DasEi: I can't take down the firewall: coropate environment. But I don't understand why it would start blocking ping packets now when it didn't before and the only thing that's chagned is the OS.15:53
DasEiAlex90: I speak of the serverbox, and if ping through that ipcop worked before as you said, it has to be the server15:53
DasEiabstrakt: y/n.. yes:  deliver delivers mail as (or better from) the user account of the user in question15:54
Alex90DasEi: right, I've tried adding the default gateway, which casued this problem on other servers I've set up here but it hasn't made any difference in this case. Any ideas?15:55
DasEiabstrakt: no : if mail is going to johnsmith then deliver delivers as the user "johnsmith" , if mail is going to johnsmith by deliver, it depends who invoked deliver15:56
abstraktDasEi, "if mail is going to johnsmith" vs "if mail is going to johnsmith by deliver" I don't see the difference between these two15:57
DasEiAlex90: I guess it's a fireall, try sudo ufw disable, and again , anything special like firestarter or such on the server ? basic freeing of iptables in following link, second task :15:57
qman__Alex90, check the output of `sudo iptables -L`15:57
DasEihttp://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-iptables-9-allow-icmp-ping.html15:57
qman__regardless of the higher-level firewall installed, that will tell the whole story15:57
qman__ubuntu, by default, has no firewall set up, so if you didn't set one up, it won't have one15:58
qman__it should have no rules and say ACCEPT policy on all three15:58
DasEiabstrakt: the problem your chewing on is the permission of the user invoking deliver, as deliver has to access the MTA, and, whereas mail going to another account than the invoking one, needs writeacces in that particular user home dir, too16:00
Alex90qman__: even with ufw off it still can't ping and all the iptables policies said accept16:07
qman__Alex90, then, either your networking is incorrectly configured, or your corporate firewall is blocking you16:08

qman__ip a s is showing my interface state as unknown, despite me clearly being online16:11
nhckHow is it that for traceroute messenger.live.com on a ubuntu machine I get "unknown host messenger.live.com" I don't get this error on a windows machine?16:29
nhckI can do any other e.g. traceroute www.tu-harburg.de which works on ubuntu&windows16:30
qman__nhck, messenger.live.com is either not resolving to an IP, or is resolving to the wrong IP16:38
qman__possibly DNS caching or pointing to a server with an outdated record16:38
jpdsLooking at all those CNAMEs, I'm surprised it's not slow as sin.16:39
jpdsnsatc.net has address 127.0.0.1 - well done.16:40
nhckhaha16:40
nhckhmm, okay, I was already thinking that it shouldn't be possible to tell the os by traceroute16:40
jpdsnhck: traceroute doesn't work for me either; however host does.16:41
nhckjpds: well the msn-empathy-thingy isn't working for one of the guys here so i was checking what was wrong with messenger.hotmail.com/messenger.live.com and this behavior was strange  I thought.16:44

jdstrandhallyn: hey, so I upgraded to natty this morning and can't seem to get vnc to work17:18
jdstrandhallyn: well, that isn't quite true-- it all works except for the mouse (ie, display, keyboard work, mouse no)17:19
jdstrandhallyn: is this a known issue?17:19
jmgallowayI have an ssh question17:19
bluefrogjdstrand, #ubuntu+1 might be a better place for an anwser17:20
hallynjdstrand: haven't heard of it17:26
hallynjdstrand: vnc at all, or vnc to libvirt/kvm?17:26
jdstrandhallyn: I am using libvirt. it does the whole '-vnc 127.0.0.1:0' thing17:27
hallyni've not heard of anything...17:27
jmgallowayanyone here good with ssh?17:27
jdstrandhallyn: I can connect with virt-viewer and virt-manager (gtk-vnc) and vncviewer: all work except the mouse17:27
jdstrandhallyn: ie, I click in the vnc window and I can't move it around17:27
jdstrandhmmm17:28
jmgallowayI have an error on one of my machines that will not let me connect with ssh to it17:28
hallynjdstrand: btw, to upgrade to natty, you just tweaked /etc/apt/sources.list?17:28
hallyn(tried that in a vm and it failed)17:28
jdstrandhallyn: on servers: 'do-release-upgrade -d', on desktops 'update-manager -d'17:28
jmgallowayI keep getting this at the command line when I try to connect with ssh:  Recieved disconnect from 192.168.1.122:  2:  Too many authentication failures for clcuser17:29
hallynhm, i told me nothing ws avail last week17:29
jmgallowayanyone know how to fix this?17:29
hallynjmgalloway: hm, do you have too many keys loaded in your agent?17:29
hggdhDaviey: be prepared... bounced the test rig last Friday, let it idling... today I found an OOM on the Walrus17:29
jdstrandhallyn: did you add '-d'? that is the trick17:29
hallyni'll re-try, thx.17:29

hallyni've seen nothing on m-l17:30
hallynlemme check changelog17:30
jmgallowayshould I remove the keys on the remote computer?17:30
jdstrandhallyn: I think it is a host problem tbh17:30
jdstrandhallyn: but I guess it could be libvirt, Idk17:30
hallynjdstrand: can you fire up a regular vncserver and connect to that?17:30
hallynjmgalloway: no, just ssh into your localhost, and try from there17:31
jdstrandhallyn: in the guest?17:31
hallynjdstrand: on the host17:31
hallynwell, sure, and on the guest )17:31

nhckjpds, qman__: I fixed it my manually installing papyon-0.5.2. There is no upstream release for that (yet)17:33
jmgallowayrun ssh to localhost on the remote box?17:33
hallynjmgalloway: ssh from localhost to localhost - just to give you an enviroment where you haven't laoded any ssh keys into your keyring17:34
hallynthen from there try to ssh to remove host17:34
hallynjmgalloway: hm, or maybe just 'ssh -i .ssh/<thereightkey> remotehost' will work17:34
jmgallowayok i'll try that17:35

uvirtbotDebian bug 603174 in php5 "Build php5-fpm SAPI" [Wishlist,Open]18:00
SpamapSzul: looks like they stripped out php5-fpm for the squeeze release because it "didn't receive enough testing"18:00
