| delimiter | Hi, can someone explain the benefit of running the kernel 'linux-virtual' inside a kvm guest, if any? | 00:28 |
|---|---|---|
| kiall | delimiter, I dont have any specifics - but I would imagine that the -virt kernel is lighter in that it doesnt contain hardware drivers for every piece of kit ubuntu supports, only those typically used in kvm/xen/esx etc | 00:30 |
| cvance | I have an ubuntu server setup and I installed drupal via apt-get. It installed fine, but to www.domain.com/drupal6. I would like it installed to the root of www.domain.com, how can I change the configuration? | 00:32 |
| === jenkinbr is now known as rbniknej | ||
| SpamapS | cvance: you will need to modify the apache configs to do that. | 00:44 |
| SpamapS | cvance: if you don't want to run anything else on your site, the simplest way is to change DocumentRoot to the location where drupal is installed. | 00:45 |

| twb | Good luck debugging upstart | 02:03 |
| SpamapS | its my new crusade | 02:04 |
| twb | AFAICT it doesn't actually provide any useful debugging techniques | 02:04 |
| SpamapS | It does, they're just not well documented. | 02:04 |
| twb | The best they can tell you is to put "set -x" in the script begin, and the boot with --debug | 02:04 |
| SpamapS | or rather, not well publicized. :) | 02:04 |
| twb | And "console owner", of course. | 02:04 |
| SpamapS | no, thats nasty | 02:04 |
| SpamapS | cjwatson is working on having plymouth spit out upstart's dbus messages to make it easier to find these things though. :) | 02:05 |

| SpamapS | squid needs the network up | 02:27 |
| SpamapS | or more accurately, squid-deb-proxy needs it up | 02:27 |
| SpamapS | since I think the main squid starts with -D | 02:27 |
| SpamapS | nope.. squid.conf does (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=!lo) | 02:30 |

| === _Techie_ is now known as _TechAway_ | ||
| twb | OK, so get this | 03:03 |
| twb | If you do a tasks=standard install and configure raid, it causes postfix to be installed | 03:03 |
| twb | I think it is taking recommends a bit far for an MTA to be pulled in by configuring software RAID. | 03:03 |
| ScottK | This has been discussed pretty far before. | 03:07 |
| ScottK | The rough consensus was that on servers people want to be notified about RAID failures more often than they don't. | 03:08 |
| twb | I agree that there isn't an obviously superior decision to make | 03:09 |
| twb | I'm just a bit grumpy | 03:10 |
| ScottK | In any case, right or wrong, it's not by accident. | 03:10 |
| twb | Mainly because I'm doing two installs in parallel for an RAIDed AoE, and only the "master" host knows about the RAID at install time, so only it got postfix. | 03:10 |
| ScottK | It's a little stranger in the desktop RAID case. | 03:10 |
| ScottK | Will the other one know to complain if it dies later? | 03:11 |
| arrrghhh | cron seems to need postfix as well. awesome. | 03:11 |
| twb | ScottK: the other one is just exporting a disk over AoE, which the master host happens to use as a RAID node | 03:11 |
| ScottK | arrrghhh: cron suggests an MTA. That won't pull it in automatically. | 03:12 |
| ScottK | I see. | 03:12 |
| twb | This is an... unconventional setup :P | 03:12 |
| arrrghhh | i seem to be having issues with it.. i don't have postfix installed, and i get errors in my syslog that cron can't send mail. i should probably fix it. | 03:12 |
| ScottK | arrrghhh: cron does like to send mail, so you probably should. trivial enough to do. | 03:13 |
| arrrghhh | i don't need it to send mail outside | 03:13 |
| ScottK | Either you can then teach cron to be less verbose or learn something you ought to know about the system. | 03:13 |
| twb | I *do* like that d-i is smart enough to install sshd if I use the network-console udeb, and smart enough to use serial if I do the install over serial. | 03:13 |
| arrrghhh | how would i do that anyway? point it to a pop3 smtp provider? | 03:13 |
| arrrghhh | i ought to know about postfix...? | 03:14 |
| ScottK | I mostly run mail servers, so it's not a problem. | 03:14 |
| arrrghhh | i have no need for a mail server. | 03:14 |
| ScottK | You can configure it for local delivery. | 03:14 |
| twb | arrrghhh: if you're a sysadmin, you SHOULD learn at least one MTA. | 03:14 |
| arrrghhh | everyone has different needs. | 03:14 |
| arrrghhh | hrm. | 03:14 |
| arrrghhh | pretty sure my provider wouldn't appreciate that traffic anyways... | 03:14 |
| twb | In the same way that any unix sysadmin should know how to use vi, even if they normally use vim or emacs. | 03:14 |
| * arrrghhh sucks and uses nano. | 03:15 | |
| twb | ScottK: OK, I tell a lie. It seems that the non-RAID host is configuring postfix, just later in the d-i process. Dunno what pulled it in. | 03:15 |
| arrrghhh | guess i'm not a unix sysadmin, but that's why i use ubuntu i guess... | 03:15 |
| twb | arrrghhh: sooner or later you'll run into a system that only has vi -- maybe it'll be a busybox rescue shell on ubuntu, even. | 03:16 |
| twb | arrrghhh: at that point, it's better if you already know how to use vi :-) | 03:16 |
| arrrghhh | i've tried. many times. just can't get the hang of it. | 03:17 |
| arrrghhh | i'm sure it'd be one of those things if i do learn it, i'll get fast with it... but i just can't force myself to use it when nano is so simple lol | 03:18 |
| twb | For me, nano is an automatic fail because it defaults to auto-wrapping | 03:30 |
| arrrghhh | erm i didn't think it did on any of my ubuntu installs... | 03:31 |
| arrrghhh | doesn't wrap lines for me. | 03:34 |
| arrrghhh | puts a little $ at the end of the line if it goes off the window | 03:34 |
| arrrghhh | maybe that's just how ubuntu is configured? i've never changed any settings with nano. | 03:35 |
| mattcen | Hi all. Is there any distinct location that says which packages are supported for the 5 years Server LTS? | 03:37 |
| arrrghhh | well i would assume anything in the repo's mattcen... | 03:45 |
| arrrghhh | anything that you install 3rd party... who knows. | 03:45 |
| twb | Good GRIEF. grub-extras allows you to insmod lua support IN YOUR BOOTLOADER. | 03:46 |
| mattcen | arrrghhh: I don't believe that's correct. I believe you can't assume that 5 year support for everything in the 'main' repo for example; otherwise, every package would have 5 year server support, and nothing would have 3 year desktop support. | 03:47 |
| arrrghhh | mattcen, well the base server install will be supported at the very least :P | 03:48 |
| arrrghhh | i think they mean security updates | 03:48 |
| arrrghhh | patches, etc. | 03:48 |

| uvirtbot | New bug: #590537 in linux (main) ""lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions" keeps showing up in the system log" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/590537 | 16:03 |
| smoser | SpamapS, cause there really is no build step. | 16:03 |
| smoser | i just find a general 'make install' to be more useful than debian/rules install | 16:04 |
| SpamapS | smoser: the install file would be a much clearer way to do it though, if all you're doing is copying files around | 16:05 |
| smoser | well, its not only copying files. but i would still sort of disagree. | 16:06 |
| smoser | 'make install DESTDIR=' is quite standard and expected. | 16:06 |
| smoser | so i just added one that does that. | 16:06 |
| kiall | smoser, you seem to know a thing or two about UEC ;) .. Neither my UEC instances, nor the euca community cloud instances can ping their own public IPs .. do you know if thats a bug? or bad config? or intended? | 16:07 |
| smoser | oh. kiall its user error ;-) | 16:07 |
| smoser | most likely | 16:08 |
| smoser | security groups | 16:08 |
| kiall | I'm not sure it is to be honest, I can ping the public IPs of other instances in the same security group, just not that one.. (in case you didnt get what I meant - Running a ping command on Instance X, aimed at Instance X's public IP fails) | 16:09 |
| smoser | well, i dont know what that should do to be honest | 16:10 |
| smoser | it seems inconsistent with other results | 16:10 |
| smoser | i would suspect its a bug, at least worth opening one. | 16:11 |
| kiall | it certainly works on EC2, and would require hairpin NAT on the CC to work ... which half works at the mo (ping another instances public IP, and you geta reply from the private IP) | 16:11 |
| mvo | hi, quick question - is vm-builder no longer maintained and if not, what is the new way to create a minimal kvm/qemu image (I need this for my automatic upgrade tester). | 16:13 |
| jdstrand | mvo: it hasn't received as much love as it should... can it not create a natty vm? | 16:14 |
| jdstrand | mvo: fyi, I still use it, but haven't tried a natty vm yet. if it doesn't work, I'll update it | 16:14 |
| mvo | jdstrand: it tells me it can not create a maverick VM - that is a bit of a blow to me | 16:15 |
| mvo | jdstrand: I use it too and I love it | 16:15 |
| jdstrand | really... interesting | 16:15 |
| jdstrand | let me look at it | 16:15 |
| mvo | jdstrand: thanks, its enough that you verify that I'm not blind (or stupid) - I can fix it myself and I'm happy to do a SRU if its really not working | 16:16 |
| jdstrand | mvo: I can confirm | 16:16 |
| mvo | jdstrand: dang, thanks | 16:16 |
| mvo | jdstrand: I test a fix now | 16:16 |
| mvo | crazy! | 16:16 |
| jdstrand | mvo: if you file a bug, I can get it fixed in natty. you can pursue an SRU if desired | 16:17 |
| ScottK | Perhaps it just means you're supposed to be working on Natty and not Maverick now. | 16:17 |
| jdstrand | heh | 16:17 |
| mvo | jdstrand: don't worry, I take care of this one :) but it would be really good if it would get a bit more love in the future (/me looks at soren) | 16:18 |
| mvo | ScottK: heh :) it needs to create maverick chroots to test maverick -> natty upgrades | 16:18 |
| ScottK | mvo: I know, but it was funnier my way. | 16:19 |
| jdstrand | mvo: ok, thanks | 16:19 |
| mvo | ScottK: that is true :) | 16:19 |
| jdstrand | mvo: can you also update it for natty? | 16:19 |
| jdstrand | mvo: meaning, create natty VMs as well as maverick? | 16:19 |
| mvo | smoser: are you using vm-builder for the ec2 images? or do you have a different tool? | 16:19 |
| mvo | jdstrand: in the sru ? or for natty? (or both ;) ? | 16:20 |
| smoser | vm-builder slightly branched https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-virt/vmbuilder/0.11 | 16:20 |

| ScottK | SpamapS: What is dh_make short for. | 20:01 |
| ScottK | (specifically the dh part) | 20:01 |
| SpamapS | ScottK: right, but dh_make is crusty and doesn't do what pkgme intends to do. ;) | 20:01 |
| ScottK | OK. But a debhelper version of debhelper make is nonsense. | 20:02 |
| SpamapS | well its the debhelper equvilent.. I actually meant to type debhelper7 equivilent.. as the idea is to just type 'pkgme blah' like 'dh blah' | 20:03 |
| SpamapS | though the end goal is really to be able to determine a) what IDE/build system/etc. was used to produce the cwd's source, and b) what is missing to fill in a complete debian dir from it. | 20:04 |
| SpamapS | then of course, c) if all is available, make a debian dir. | 20:04 |

| zaca | :D but that's $300 software | 20:32 |
| RoyK | aCleverMoniker: just install the nfs kernel server - never mind about the rest | 20:32 |
| zaca | would you suggest using a password for MySQL? | 20:32 |
| RoyK | zaca: would you recommend having a secure network? | 20:32 |
| zaca | that's a yes | 20:33 |
| aCleverMoniker | RoyK: I had it installed originally, but I was having trouble seeing anything in exports (except for /var/www) on my windows/mac boxes. I decided to uninstall it and switch to samba, but when I uninstalled it, I'm still able to see /var/www. | 20:33 |

| RoyK | sftp, as in ftp over ssh, yes | 20:37 |
| RoyK | sftp with ssl/tls is somehow insecure as well | 20:37 |
| RoyK | ssh is quite secure | 20:37 |
| zaca | This is also a home network | 20:38 |
| zaca | the reason I'm still ignorant about it it because I haven't felt that security is absolutely needed. | 20:38 |
| RoyK | imho all networks should be built by a fanatic paranoid sysadmin :รพ | 20:38 |
| zaca | I'll be back in about 20 minutes, the server is installing the packages, I have to pick up my little brothers from school | 20:39 |
| zaca | Thanks RoyK | 20:39 |
| amarcolino | hi I can't seem to mount cdrom on a clean install of ubuntu lts running in vbox, command outputs mount: can't find /dev/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 20:41 |
| amarcolino | what do I need to do to get the cdrom showing? | 20:41 |
| matt_keys | how do you tell lmsensors that a temperature sensors is a temperature sensor? I can see the correct results from sensors, but when I query 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.13.16 it's putting them all into the misc category | 20:42 |

| ZacharyNewb | I've just installed my server, and it's now running | 21:21 |
| ZacharyNewb | however I have no idea how to configure it | 21:21 |
| ZacharyNewb | I'd like to start with web serving | 21:21 |
| ZacharyNewb | I already have an entire website on the second ntfs drive | 21:21 |
| ZacharyNewb | I'm starting with ddclient for dynamic ip address updating | 21:23 |
| ZacharyNewb | how do I uninstall ddclient? | 21:33 |
| ZacharyNewb | I need some help ? | 21:35 |
| ZacharyNewb | How do I uninstall ddclient? | 21:35 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: fyi, I uploaded libvirt | 21:36 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: amd64 ftbfs because of the qemu-kvm ftbfs on amd64 I mentioned earlier today. when qemu-kvm is fixed can you either ping me or retry the libvirt builds? | 21:37 |
| guntbert | ZacharyNewb: sudo apt-get remove ddclient | 21:37 |
| ZacharyNewb | does that remove all of it's configuration files as well? | 21:38 |
| guntbert | ZacharyNewb: no | 21:38 |
| ZacharyNewb | Alright, I screwed up configuring it, | 21:38 |
| ZacharyNewb | I'm trying to delete those settings and retry | 21:39 |
| guntbert | ZacharyNewb: then sudo apt-get purge ddclient | 21:40 |
| hallyn | jdstrand: well that's just whacky, bc the exact same source did build in my ppa at https://launchpad.net/~serge-hallyn/+archive/virt?field.series_filter=natty | 21:40 |
| ZacharyNewb | awesome, I love you | 21:40 |
| guntbert | ZacharyNewb: you're welcome :-) (have a look at the !serverguide some time :-)) | 21:42 |
| ZacharyNewb | I'm trying to set up the dns updater | 21:43 |
| hallyn | jdstrand: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/qemu-kvm/+builds the amd64 build passed according to this | 21:43 |
| ZacharyNewb | what protocol do you think I need to use for no-ip.com ? | 21:43 |
| guntbert | ZacharyNewb: look on their web site | 21:44 |
| ZacharyNewb | they say http resquest | 21:44 |
| ZacharyNewb | but that's not a listed option in ddclient ? | 21:44 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: I'm sorry. I meant to say that libvirt ftbfs because qemu-common isn't available on amd64, because qemu-common is built in the i386 builds and it ftbfs | 21:46 |
| hallyn | ah | 21:46 |
| hallyn | ok, i'm asking on #ubuntu-devel about the i386 failure | 21:46 |
| hallyn | hm, well, i suppose i'll try here in a chroot first | 21:47 |
| hallyn | doh, i don't have a natty chroot yet :) | 21:47 |
| guntbert | ZacharyNewb: If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 21:50 |
| ZacharyNewb | aha, of course | 21:50 |
| jdstrand | hehe | 21:51 |
| guntbert | ZacharyNewb: as an example: http://pastebin.com/ABK5t4Gd | 21:54 |
| ZacharyNewb | guntbert: Yes, I found that. Problem is I don't know the protocols for namecheap, or their addresses or other settings. Thanks you though, I'm currently chatting with tech support. | 21:55 |
| guntbert | ZacharyNewb: all right and Good luck :-) | 21:56 |
| ZacharyNewb | guntbert: don't know if install gedit was a good idea >.> | 22:07 |
| guntbert | ZacharyNewb: ?? | 22:07 |
| ZacharyNewb | guntbert: trying to edit the ddclient.conf file | 22:08 |
| ZacharyNewb | don't know how to open it, perhaps using gedit? | 22:08 |
| guntbert | ZacharyNewb: are you running a server with GUI? | 22:08 |
| ZacharyNewb | nope, probably the reason why it's a bad ide | 22:08 |
| air^ | "nano ddclient.conf" ? | 22:08 |
| ZacharyNewb | ahahaha | 22:09 |
| ZacharyNewb | See, I realized I messed up when the server started installing tons of extra packages. | 22:09 |
| air^ | :) | 22:09 |
| ZacharyNewb | so, "sudo apt-get purge gedit" then? remove all that crap I just installed? :p | 22:10 |
| ZacharyNewb | -waiting recklessly to hit enter with the command typed in, for someone to yell at him "No, you moron! don't do it that way!" | 22:11 |
| ZacharyNewb | - | 22:11 |
| ZacharyNewb | FIRE | 22:12 |
| ZacharyNewb | well, gedit's removed now, but a metric ton of extra packages are now installed. | 22:13 |
| fluvvell | ZacharyNewb, sudo apt-get autoremove | 22:15 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: I'm starting over the server install completely. | 22:16 |
| ZacharyNewb | I need to learn more about the process anyway. | 22:16 |
| fluvvell | I'd not think that really necessary, but it can be a useful learning route. | 22:17 |
| fluvvell | yes | 22:17 |
| ZacharyNewb | Well now I'm stuck with.. | 22:17 |
| ZacharyNewb | The Server was absolutely perfect! | 22:17 |
| ZacharyNewb | only the packages I needed! Barebones, simple and beautiful | 22:17 |
| ZacharyNewb | then I recklessly run install gedit | 22:18 |
| ZacharyNewb | and I get a ton of extra crap | 22:18 |
| ZacharyNewb | suddenly. | 22:18 |
| ZacharyNewb | my virgin install has become very violated. ;_; | 22:18 |
| ZacharyNewb | I have to reinstall completely, fresh | 22:19 |
| fluvvell | ZacharyNewb, if gedit was the only thing you installed, its not hard to remove | 22:20 |
| fluvvell | ZacharyNewb, and autoremove cleans out un-necessary packages after you remove-purge it | 22:20 |
| fluvvell | Theres very little you can't undo during an ubuntu install | 22:21 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: I love linux now. I've been all giddy since rediscovering it. :D | 22:21 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: When I first started using it, it kept crashing, and was more difficult, now it's like a wetdream. | 22:22 |
| fluvvell | ZacharyNewb, he he, whats not to love. Re: gedit, when offering to install on my 8.04 server, it only wants to install 52 packages. Not what I'd call hugely problematic. (I'm remote accessing it via ssh) | 22:23 |
| fluvvell | ZacharyNewb, and if I install it, then remove it later, apt-get autoremove will remove all 52 packages that are no longer needed. | 22:23 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: In past dealings in windows, SSH was a total bitch to set up, so I decided not to use it, despite knowing it would then be less secure | 22:24 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: I presume that ssh is much easier to use in linux? | 22:24 |
| fluvvell | ZacharyNewb, its built in | 22:24 |
| fluvvell | ZacharyNewb, and in windows, you just install putty. It takes all of about 5 seconds to download and install | 22:24 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: This computer I'm chatting on is running windows 7, dual-booting with ubuntu netbook | 22:25 |
| ZacharyNewb | rather, the two OSs are installed side by side | 22:25 |
| fluvvell | ZacharyNewb, thats probably similar to how many of us started | 22:25 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: am I able to remotely access and control ubuntu server from windows? | 22:25 |
| fluvvell | I now only ever run windows in a virtual machine now. | 22:25 |
| fluvvell | Not if they are on the same computer | 22:26 |
| ZacharyNewb | no | 22:26 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: Ubuntu Server is on my old desktop pc connected to the router under the cabinet. Beforehand I had Windows Web Server 2008 | 22:26 |
| fluvvell | ZacharyNewb, the problem will be if you want to remote run any X based apps | 22:26 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: X being the graphics engine for linux? which understandably wouldn't work with windows connections? | 22:27 |
| === ng_ is now known as NG_ | ||
| fluvvell | ZacharyNewb, yeah, there are ways but it gets a bit complicated. | 22:27 |
| fluvvell | but putty is your first point of call | 22:28 |
| ZacharyNewb | Ng: why do you keep toggling your nickname between uppercase and lowercase? | 22:28 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: for now I'd like to start with basic stuff | 22:28 |
| === NG_ is now known as ng_ | ||
| fluvvell | ZacharyNewb, yep good idea. Is your server installing now? | 22:29 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: would you suggest I switch to linux netbook to access the server? | 22:29 |
| Ng | ZacharyNewb: that's not me :) | 22:29 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: yes, it is. installing base system, it'll take longer since it's having to do it via optical disk | 22:29 |
| ZacharyNewb | 83% | 22:30 |
| ZacharyNewb | 90 | 22:30 |
| fluvvell | ZacharyNewb, Its not critical at this stage, have you got a copy of putty installed on the windows box? | 22:30 |
| ZacharyNewb | not currently, one moment, I'll install it on here now | 22:30 |
| fluvvell | then you can remote into the linux server. | 22:31 |
| hallyn | jdstrand: interesting, the gentoo forums suggest problems due to parallel builds | 22:31 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: What do I use to remote? | 22:32 |
| hallyn | (which woudl expalin the somewhat random failures0 | 22:32 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: With Windows Web Server 2008, I was using Windows 7 RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) to conenct, and was merely using certificate authentication on some random back alley port | 22:33 |
| ZacharyNewb | Now at "Select and Install Software" | 22:34 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: putty.exe is on my desktop, I opened it and now I have a bunch of options | 22:35 |
| ZacharyNewb | fluvvell: server isn't finished installing, but until then, Do I need any other application to use to remote into linux? | 22:35 |
| kirkland | smoser: ping | 22:42 |
| kirkland | smoser: i'm curious about the MIR items in https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/cloud-server-n-desktop-images | 22:43 |
| kirkland | smoser: I'd think for 11.04, we should be able to do this blueprint without MIR'ing stuff | 22:43 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: interesting. I've seen that before, but not on qemu-kvm | 22:43 |
| air^ | hmm. | 22:52 |
| air^ | I got a folder shared both through afp (for mac useage) and through nfs (for xbmc). | 22:52 |
| air^ | I know netatalk supports "veto" to hide files, but what about nfs? | 22:52 |
| fluvvell | ZacharyNewb, you only have a bash/command line on stock standard server install, so putty will give you that access. | 22:54 |
