[00:01] <KurtKraut> Patrickdk, depending on the job this software is doing. Changing nice wouldn't change the CPU percentage a process is using. It will only make this process being more interrupted by other processes that may run faster.
[00:02] <KurtKraut> Patrickdk, if this software is using 100% CPU for hours without concrete result or output (check the logs), there is probably a bug making it loop forever.
[00:02] <Patrickdk> KurtKraut, yep, and why me?
[00:02] <KurtKraut> Patrickdk, sorry, I look at glance and though Frenk question was yours.
[00:02] <Patrickdk> he said clamscan, so it's probably busy scanning his drive :)
[00:02] <KurtKraut> Frenk, the messages above I sent to Patrickdk were in fact directed to you. Please read.
[00:04] <Frenk> already did - the mail server started a scan but i never started htop before during the scan and was wondering why all 8 cpu are 100%
[00:05] <Frenk> i hope the scan is working, at least he was last time =)
[00:05] <KurtKraut> Frenk, if you're worried, try to find some evidence that the job is being done (example: looking for logs)
[00:11] <Frenk> KurtKraut - any suggestions which log? the clamav logs are clear - except the database update
[00:13] <Frenk> I justlisted all open files and claI I seems to work
[00:14] <Frenk> clam seems to work*
[00:15] <ZacLnxNewb> Hello friends, :3
[00:32] <e_t_> I am setting up an Ubuntu server for a school lab environment. I need to configure an email server, but it will be limited to the lab environment. What software would be easiest to configure for this project?
[00:32] <Frenk> iredmail is good
[00:33] <Frenk> out of the box email server
[00:33] <e_t_> Is that in the repos?
[00:34] <Frenk> depends
[00:34] <Frenk> read http://code.google.com/p/iredmail/wiki/Installation_on_Ubuntu
[00:46] <Frenk> My server is going crazy - I cant send a message via smtp when Amavisd-new is turned on. Thunderbird is giving DATA: Server configuration problem when amavisd turned on
[00:46] <Frenk> and sends messages when its turned off. Any ideas?
[01:12] <pmatulis> Frenk: did it *ever* work properly?
[01:12] <Frenk> jep
[01:13] <Frenk> worked properly for the last 2 weeks
[01:13] <pmatulis> Frenk: strange
[01:14] <pmatulis> Frenk: any updates to amavisd-new?
[01:16] <Frenk> maybe =( I did an update without thinking much about it.
[01:19] <Frenk> sa-compile: not compiling; 'spamassassin --lint' check failed - mh maybe this is the troublemaker =/
[01:23] <Frenk> nope...

[06:18] <Wicked> hello all. im wondering if ill be able to use pci passthrough with xen on a 10.04 server? the ubuntu community page for xen seems to indicate that it may not be able too.
[06:32] <The_Tick> I'm trying to ssh to a machine as a nonroot user
[06:32] <The_Tick> when I do it says that the Connection closed by
[06:32] <The_Tick> and then has the ip
[06:32] <The_Tick> root@ works
[06:35] <Wicked> check the sshd config file. its prob limiting to users
[06:35] <Wicked> but limiting to root is kinda assbackwards
[06:36] <qman__> make sure the user can log on locally
[06:40] <The_Tick> it's something with the user
[06:40] <The_Tick> made a test user and that worked ifne
[09:07] <april__> i had my file server set with static ip, i brought it to my school for a lan party (was running a local CS:source gungame server) and to make it easy I set it to dhcp, now when I brought it back to my house, I can ssh using putty, i can sftp with my ftp program, however my shared drives are not visable. the only thing i changed was /etc/network/interfaces from 'iface eth0 inet static'
[09:08] <april__> with address, netmask and gateway, to 'iface eth0 inet dhcp' and back again
[09:33] <april__>  i had my server set with static ip, i brought it somewhere and changed it to dynamic, then I brought it home, set the /etc/network/interfaces back to how it was with static, and now my samba shares aren't shown. I can still ssh to it and sftp, but it doesn't show up in network :/ any suggestions?
[10:06] <suigeneris> hi
[10:07] <suigeneris> I have postfix and dovecot-imapd installed, and put my new user is /etc/aliases and ran newaliases. however they can't receive emails
[10:27] <Drama> Hey, my 64 bit server is missing  libmysqlclient15 and Ive installed it from deb but still got the error /usr/share/artica-postfix/bin/artica-ldap: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[12:12] <LinuxAdmin> Hi guys, still trying to solve vsftpd problem for a few days
[12:13] <LinuxAdmin> I can start vsftpd without ssl support, but when I enable ssl I get this error: 500 OOPS: SSL: cannot load RSA certificate
[12:14] <LinuxAdmin> I already checked ssl certificate path inside /etc/vsftpd.conf, everything is ok
[12:14] <LinuxAdmin> can someone help?
[12:18] <LinuxAdmin> anyone with vsftpd knowledge?
[12:18] <LinuxAdmin> can't start vsftpd with ssl enabled
[15:37] <Aison> I setup my ubuntu server with kerberos
[15:37] <Aison> and it works ;)
[15:37] <Aison> but now how do I have to configure my clients, so the user get a ticket at login?
[17:18] <echoprinter> what is the command to find out the version apache on your server?
[17:18] <echoprinter> httpd -v was my first guess but i'm wrong.
[17:20] <failover> apache2 -V
[17:20] <echoprinter> failover: Thanks you!
[17:23] <laga83> hola
[17:23] <laga83> como estan?
[17:26] <echoprinter> I need another file for my default vhost at /etc/apache2/sites-available/default what's the best way to get another one?
[18:55] <LinuxAdmin> hi guys, once again, trying to get help with vsftpd
[18:56] <LinuxAdmin> I can start vsftp without ssl, but when I enable ssl I get this error: 500 OOPS: SSL: cannot load RSA certificate
[18:57] <LinuxAdmin> I checked vsftpd.conf file, path to certificate is correct and I already created a new certificate and private key
[18:57] <LinuxAdmin> any ideias?
[18:58] <nertil> why ubuntu server doesnt boot himself a command i setup in /etc/rc.local
[18:58] <nertil> i did chown
[18:59] <nertil> i did chmod
[19:40] <soren> Any particular reason you ended up not uploading nova?
[19:47] <nertil> why ubuntu server doesnt boot himself a command i setup in /etc/rc.local
[19:47] <soren> zul: Err.. That was meant for you.
[19:47] <soren> zul: 19:40 < soren> Any particular reason you ended up not uploading nova?
[19:48] <zul> soren: because of the traceback when running nvoa-scheduler
[19:49] <soren> zul: bug no?
[19:49] <zul> 688193
[19:49] <soren> bug  688193
[19:50] <soren> zul: That's not a bug.
[19:50] <zul> soren: how come?
[19:50] <soren> zul: If you don't have any nova-compute instances running, that's what's going to happen.
[19:50] <zul> soren: ah ok...
[19:50] <nertil> why ubuntu server doesnt boot himself a command i setup in /etc/rc.local
[19:50] <soren> If it's a bug, it's nothing new.
[19:51] <zul> heh ok...first thing on monday ill do an upload then
[19:52] <soren> zul: cool
[20:17] <tdn> How do I make my CPU frequency scale down from command line?
[20:42] <bluethundr> I am attempting to install sudo-ldap on ubuntu desktop 10.10 but it is failing
[20:42] <bluethundr> http://pastebin.ca/2017644
[20:42] <bluethundr> the senior SA i work with showed me a way to work around this by setting an environment variable that forced it to install, but I forget what that is
[20:42] <bluethundr> does anyone recall the fix for this issue?
[20:49] <fluvvell> bluethundr, did you work it out yourself yet?
[20:50] <bluethundr> fluvvell, nope not yet
[20:50] <bluethundr> tried apt-get --force-yes install sudo-ldap
[20:51] <bluethundr> nada
[20:51] <fluvvell> well the basic problem is that without a root password set, at least for temporary measures, you run the risk of locking yourself out. Have you set one yet?
[20:52] <bluethundr> yes I have set the root password
[20:52] <bluethundr> quite used to ubuntu these days as I admin a number of ubuntu servers at work..
[20:53] <bluethundr> but this one thing escapes me
[20:58] <fluvvell> and the same error message comes up?
[20:58] <bluethundr> yes same exact error
[20:59] <bluethundr> I remember setting an environment variable at work that the senior showed me but I'll be damned if I can remember what that was
[20:59] <fluvvell> The error message suggests you have not set a root password! Maybe you should log out, log in as root and try the aptitude install sudo-ldap ?
[20:59] <bluethundr> that was how we got around it
[20:59] <bluethundr> ok cool
[20:59] <bluethundr> I'll give that a shot
[20:59] <bluethundr> thanks
[20:59] <fluvvell> it will then at least test if your password is working :)
[21:05] <bluethundr> fixed!! thanks
[21:38] <the_eye_> 2.6.32-26-server random reboots, any idea ?
[21:52] <fluvvell> the_eye, any hardware or overheating issues?
[21:54] <the_eye_> its in aircontitioned room at 16oC
[21:56] <detrix42> hi, I have a script that needs to be run during boot up. A ddns start script. with ubuntu moving away from the init.d/rcX.d/ where do I put this script???
[21:58] <qman__> detrix42, since I assume it requires the network to be up, you could put it in /etc/network/if-up.d/
[21:58] <qman__> or, you could create an upstart script for it
[21:59] <detrix42> hmmm
[22:00] <qman__> however, I had my afraid.org ddns script in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/
[22:00] <qman__> that way each time I got a new IP it would update immediately
[22:00] <detrix42> There seems to be an upstart scrip. where do I put it.  it suggests /etc/rc.d/init.d/ is that corrrect for upstart?
[22:00] <qman__> no
[22:00] <qman__> /etc/init/
 better use cron
[22:03] <fluvvell> the_eye, look for syslog entries just before the crash
[22:04]  * fluvvell is out of office for a while
[22:04] <qman__> the_eye_, also look for anything in /var/crash/
[22:04] <qman__> if there is nothing, it's probably hardware failure
[22:04] <qman__> or, if /var/crash doesn't exist you don't have that feature installed
[22:06] <the_eye_> /var/crash its empty
[22:08] <qman__> then, if there's no log of someone rebooting the server, it's most likely hardware
[22:09] <qman__> have you tried booting to the previous kernel to see if the problem persists?
[22:11] <the_eye_> I try many kernels, all the same
[22:13] <the_eye_> I check memory with memtest, hdds are fine, 2 psu and ups
[22:26] <stiv2k> hello
[22:27] <stiv2k> I installed and enabled mod_python on my apache2 stack however when I go to the test.py script in my browser, it wants to download the file (like its a text/plain)
[22:28] <tonyyarusso> stiv2k: You have to add a handler for it as well.
[22:29] <tonyyarusso> stiv2k: In your <Directory> block, put something like AddHandler cgi-script .py
[22:29] <tonyyarusso> or was that with the other thing...hrm
[22:30] <tonyyarusso> shoot, that's with fast-cgi
[22:30] <stiv2k> tonyyarusso: I did
[22:30] <tonyyarusso> stiv2k: It's something similar anyway.  I don't remember the specifics, but you have to tell it to use the module somewhere's - the documentation should be on the mod_python site.
[22:30] <stiv2k> here's what I have
[22:31] <stiv2k>                 AddHandler mod_python .py
[22:31] <stiv2k>                 PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
[22:31] <stiv2k>                 PythonDebug On
[22:32] <stiv2k> oh shit
[22:32] <stiv2k> it just worked
[22:33] <tonyyarusso> ha
[22:33] <stiv2k> hmmm
[22:42] <stiv2k> internet fail!!
[23:31] <Ubuntu_server-vi> hi, anyone using 10.04 on a vmware environment?
[23:32] <Ubuntu_server-vi> I'm using the F4 installer option for a minimal virtual system
[23:32] <Ubuntu_server-vi> but on boot, I see it is loading a generic-pae kernel instead of the expected -virtual o -server at least
[23:33] <Ubuntu_server-vi> this is 10.04 server i386 on both vSphere 4.1 and vmware player
[23:33] <Ubuntu_server-vi> clean install BTW
[23:35] <MTERRON> anyone here?
[23:35] <JanC> there is no 32-bit -server kernel
[23:35] <MTERRON> and -virtual?
[23:36] <MTERRON> aptitude seems to think there is and it is installed
[23:36] <JanC> there is a 32-bit -virtual kernel
[23:37] <MTERRON> That's what i thought, but it is not using it.
[23:37] <MTERRON> i   linux-image-virtual             - Linux kernel image for virtual machines
[23:38] <JanC> it lacks a lot of drivers, not sure if it's optimized for and/or tested on vmware
[23:38] <JanC> you can try to see if it boots...
[23:39] <MTERRON> OK JanC, I must've misundesrtood the installation manual then
[23:39] <MTERRON> thanks a lot for your help
[23:40] <JanC> MTERRON: I'm not sure why it isn't installed by default BTW, just guessing
[23:42] <MTERRON> according to the manual, selecting F4 -> Install a minimal virtual machine should install with the -virtual kernel, which it's supposed to be optimized for the most deployed hypervisors (ie vmware)
[23:42] <MTERRON> JeOS is a specialized installation of Ubuntu Server Edition with a tuned kernel that contains only the base elements needed to run within a virtualized environment.  Ubuntu JeOS has been tuned to take advantage of key performance technologies in the latest virtualization products from VMware
[23:42] <MTERRON> I guess it wasn't tested :S
[23:43] <JanC> hm, I wonder if that's still true, maybe tomorrow somebody from the server team can answer you about that
[23:44] <MTERRON> yea, maybe it's deprecated but still in the installer
[23:44] <JanC> I think it's still Sunday afternoon or Sunday night for most of them...   ;)
[23:45] <MTERRON> I'll ask again tomorrow, it's not big deal
[23:45] <JanC> well, or maybe some bugs were discovered with some virtualization software
[23:45] <MTERRON> just an unexpected behaviour
[23:46] <JanC> MTERRON: yeah, either the installer or the documentation needs fixing
[23:49] <MTERRON> thankfully i was preparing a lab, if i were in front of a customer it wouldn't be funny
[23:50] <JanC> well, the -generic-pae kernel is the recommended kernel for 32-bit servers AFAIK, so it could be worse  ;)
[23:51] <MTERRON> sure, just counterintuitive (does that word exist?)
