[03:03] <Smaug> hey lenios
[03:44] <wizardslovak> hello people
[03:44] <wizardslovak> i cant mount partitiong :(
[03:44] <wizardslovak> in gparted its there but i cant mount it
[03:57] <Psi-Jack> hmm
[03:58] <EvilPhoenix> Psi-Jack:  didnt expect to see you here.  sup
[03:58] <Psi-Jack> I'm almost always here. heh
[03:58] <Psi-Jack> I'm just having some serious issues with iet.
[03:58] <Psi-Jack> Pissing me off to no end. LOL
[04:00] <Psi-Jack> Beginning to seriously think tgt is a better way to go.
[04:06] <Psi-Jack> I'm having craploads of issues trying to use iet for an iSCSI Target. I have two opensuse servers running as NAS, DRBD'ing raid10 arrays between them and running clvm on them, exporting logical volumes as iSCSI blockio targets, using a VIP for the actual portal address.. Now, when open-iscsi does a discovery on it, whatever nas server has the VIP, the iscsi initiator gets both the NAS's private
[04:06] <Psi-Jack> IP and the VIP, so it logs into both. This is causing serious issues for me.
[05:27] <SamuelPeterson> Hi all, I installed ubuntu server 10.04 LTS and when it rebooted, nothing was being sent to the monitor. I restarted the PC and the video card send out images to show the bios posting, I saw some text from ubuntu booting up, then my monitor turned off... Anyone know what this is caused by?
[06:23] <EvilPhoenix> question.  is there an easy way to do an automatic copy of a folder to another location repeatedly every 6 hours?
[06:23] <rigved> EvilPhoenix: i think you can use rsync for that
[06:24] <EvilPhoenix> rigved:  in what, a cron job or smth?
[06:25] <rigved> EvilPhoenix: i am pretty sure that rsync has a method to do backup at regular intervals. i think it uses cron.
[06:26] <rigved> EvilPhoenix: man rsync. there are examples at the end of the manual.
[06:50] <EvilPhoenix> lemme confirm something: rsync --recursive /path/dirA /path/dirB  will copy dirA to dirB and overwrite everything in dirB with the data in dirA?
[06:57] <EvilPhoenix> welcome back
[06:58] <EvilPhoenix> wrong button?
[07:00] <cn1209> hello. Is there a way to copy all perl modules from one Ubuntu Server installation to another?
[07:00] <cn1209> Or at least create some kind of package to have and install from the source server to the destination server?
[07:42] <nutrapi> Could anyone help me understand why when installing and using the linux-image-server kernel, that uname still reports 'generic-pae' ? I understand this is normal, but why?
[07:43] <nutrapi> From what I remember, it used to report '-server' or '-virtual' appropriately, but then again, it's been a while.
[08:04] <nutrapi> Found my answer - 'generic-pae' is for all 32bit installs now

[10:15] <lenios> hi Smaug
[12:23] <veovis_muaddib> I customized my PS1 by copying one I liked and tweaking it, and now when I use ssh, typing too many characters makes the line wrap to itself, so commands overwrite the prompt and become hard to read.  I assume I made a syntax error or something, because I copied and pasted.
[12:23] <veovis_muaddib> PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[00;37m\]{\e[01;34m\t\e[00;37m} | \e[00;31mEndor\e[01;32m\[\033[00m\] | \[\033[01;34m\]\W\[\033[00m\] \e[01;37m\$ '
[12:24] <veovis_muaddib> It looks exactly as I'd like it to, but something must be screwed up...
[12:56] <qman__> veovis_muaddib, there is something wrong with it, I just tried it
[12:57] <veovis_muaddib> qman__: Yeah.  I just can't read it well enough to figure out what the problem is
[13:00] <RoyK> hi all. just got this cheap met station that connects to a pc with usb - any idea how to intercept usb traffic to try to reverse engineer that one to try to grab the data from a linux box?
[13:10] <qman__> veovis_muaddib, it's not 100%, but it's mostly fixed
[13:10] <qman__> PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\e[00;37m\]{\[\e[01;34m\]\t\[\e[00;37m}\] | \[\e[00;31m\]Endor\[\e[00m\] | \[\e[01;34m\]\W\[\e[00m\] \[\e[01;37m\]\$ '
[13:11] <qman__> the problem is that you didn't encase all the escaped sequences in \[ \] blocks
[13:11] <veovis_muaddib> qman__: Ah, okay.  Thanks!
[13:11] <qman__> that one still backspaces too far by one character
[13:11] <qman__> couldn't find the culprit
[13:11] <veovis_muaddib> I'll keep looking then
[13:11] <veovis_muaddib> At least I know what I'm looking for now
[13:17] <qman__> ah, found it
[13:17] <qman__> PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\e[00;37m\]{\[\e[01;34m\]\t\[\e[00;37m\]} | \[\e[00;31m\]Endor\[\e[00m\] | \[\e[01;34m\]\W\[\e[00m\] \[\e[01;37m\]\$ '
[13:18] <qman__> veovis_muaddib, ^
[13:19] <veovis_muaddib> Ah, next to the time?  Yeah, the {} hid it well
[13:19] <veovis_muaddib> Thank you very much!
[13:19] <PeterNL> diff PS1a PS1b anyone?
[13:21] <veovis_muaddib> Yeah, that fixed all the problems!
[13:22] <veovis_muaddib> PeterNL: I don't have a copy of the original working one, I figured since it looked right, it was okay
[13:22] <PeterNL> :)
[13:23] <veovis_muaddib> Yeah, confirmed with OpenSSH and PuTTY, this fixed it qman__
[13:58] <random_ubuntuer> hi, anyone active here atm? Would like some help with an installation issue...
[13:58] <PeterNL> I'm here
[13:58] <random_ubuntuer> great
[13:58] <random_ubuntuer> I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 server on an old IBM
[13:59] <random_ubuntuer> I can't use CD or USB so I used my laptop as a pxe server
[13:59] <PeterNL> Ooh, getting complex. I don't think I can help
[13:59] <random_ubuntuer> and dhcp and tftp all work correcty, I get the first installation menu on the server box
[13:59] <random_ubuntuer> and the problem is that from then on it is frozen
[14:00] <random_ubuntuer> the problem might not be related to the fact that I'm booting from net, just mentioned it just in case
[14:00] <random_ubuntuer> I think it might have something to do with graphics or the installation files
[14:00] <random_ubuntuer> I can't select the options from the menu, the keyboard doesn't do anything
[14:01] <random_ubuntuer> can't use ctrl+alt+del nor ctrl+alt+backspace or anything
[14:01] <random_ubuntuer> and the menu screen is wrapping from the bottom
[14:01] <PeterNL> ctrl-alt-f[1-6]?
[14:01] <random_ubuntuer> nothing
[14:01] <random_ubuntuer> the computer basically crashes
[14:02] <PeterNL> Can this be an hardware problem someway?
[14:02] <random_ubuntuer> Can be, but I don't think it is
[14:02] <random_ubuntuer> there's a working slackware install on the box, although I haven't used it for some time
[14:02] <PeterNL> Wel, I really don't know...
[14:03] <PeterNL> Try booting slackware, and see how well it works
[14:03] <random_ubuntuer> As far as I remember, I wrecked the slack enough, so it doesn't boot fully
[14:03] <PeterNL> ...hmmm, well nothing I can do from here :)
[14:04] <random_ubuntuer> Well, I'm here for troubleshooting...
[14:04] <random_ubuntuer> I'll try to get the slack to boot, but I'd still like some more recommendations
[14:06] <random_ubuntuer> hmm, the slack actually stops booting at "checking 'hlt' instruction..." so it might be hardware
[14:06] <random_ubuntuer> I'll check it some more
[14:10] <qman__> you could try the "nomodeset" boot option
[14:10] <qman__> the new KMS is problematic for some graphics chips
[14:11] <random_ubuntuer> I did get the slack to boot now with "no-hlt" boot command
[14:11] <random_ubuntuer> I'll check the hardware to make sure, it's still okay
[14:12] <random_ubuntuer> can i insert boot arguments in ubuntu install before the menu jumps up?
[14:15] <random_ubuntuer> wow, the ext2 on the disks is crap, even after fsck
[14:15] <random_ubuntuer> about time, to reinstall : P
[14:21] <random_ubuntuer> I think that the installation would work if I could pass "no-hlt" to the boot process
[14:22] <random_ubuntuer> Okay, I'll play around a bit
[14:22] <random_ubuntuer> disconnect...
[14:24] <random_ubuntuer> back
[14:24] <random_ubuntuer> Yeah, there doesn't seem to be a way to insert boot arguments before the menu jumps up
[14:24] <random_ubuntuer> and by then, the computer has crashed
[14:24] <random_ubuntuer> I searched around the boot files but I didn't see a boot loader there either
[14:25] <random_ubuntuer> does the installation use grub?
[14:51] <lenios> random_ubuntuer, you got the grub menu on boot?
[14:53] <random_ubuntuer> no, immediatly after it connects the dhcp and tftp, it goes to the menu and crashes
[14:54] <lenios> i don't know what menu you're talking about
[14:54] <lenios> oh, you mean install boot
[14:56] <random_ubuntuer> yeah
[15:38] <qman__> random_ubuntuer, the menu is just a fancified isolinux
[15:38] <qman__> you give boot options in the menu itself
[15:38] <qman__> if it's not making it that far, your hardware is probably failing
[15:38] <random_ubuntuer> syslinux, you mean?
[15:38] <random_ubuntuer> that's the thing, it boots slackware which is installed currently
[15:39] <random_ubuntuer> I had to use the "no-hlt" boot argument however for it to work
[15:39] <random_ubuntuer> I thought I had to add the argument to the installation boot process
[15:39] <random_ubuntuer> but then realised that it doesn't boot an image until after syslinux menu
[16:54] <Smaug> lenios, so I reinstalled clean versions of the files as you said, and rkhunter threw the same warnings.  does this mean I should not be worried?
[17:29] <iceflatline> Happy ($local_holiday) everyone!
[18:01] <archer> need help with squid on its dual mode, normal + rproxy. someone please?
[18:09] <Smaug> iceflatline: haha ty you too!
[18:38] <lenios> Smaug, the files are different that the ones you had the last time you checked with rkhunter
[18:43] <lenios> i guess you should take those files as clean, and now run future checks with those ones
[18:44] <lenios> against*
[18:55] <Smaug> lenios: ok ty
[18:56] <lenios> Smaug, just remember to check before and after each upgrade
[18:57] <lenios> rkhunter is not bulletproof anyway

[21:17] <binBASH> hi what package do I need to install to get the hint in which package a missing command is?
[21:19] <Nafallo> !info command-not-found
[21:19] <Nafallo> ^-- binBASH
[21:21] <binBASH> much thanks Nafallo
[21:21] <binBASH> works
[21:58] <archer>  the fact is i am trying this solution, but find no such script withing ubuntu http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/use-etc-init-d-squid-to-start-both-instances-789835/
[21:58] <archer> where is the /etc/init.d/xxxxx files in maverick now?
[21:59] <lenios> in /etc/init.d/
[22:00] <archer> /etc/init.d/squid ---- no such fine in maverick
[22:00] <lenios> archer, dpkg -L squid
[22:01] <archer> nice. i have to read a while
[22:01] <archer> but could you tell me the launcher's file name.. just squid?
[22:02] <lenios> paste the result of dpkg -L squid
[22:02] <lenios> !paste
[22:02] <archer> i will be ...ticked
[22:03] <RoAkSoAx> lenios: /etc/init/squid? Squid should be using upstart instead of the legacy init scripts in Maverick
[22:03] <RoAkSoAx> archer: ^^
[22:04] <archer> haha
[22:04] <archer> i am with a server in a vm
[22:04] <archer> that is to say i cannot copy and paste
[22:05] <archer> i thought it is /etc/init/squid.conf
[22:06] <RoAkSoAx> archer: indeed, always forget anbout the .conf xD
[22:06] <archer> it appears like kinda readable script
[22:06] <lenios> archer, good
[22:06] <archer> thank you both
[22:08] <archer> btw.. is that possible to make squid 2.7 to work as both r-proxy and normal proxy ?
[22:09] <archer> it seems too different from 2.2 .. and as long as cache_peer is there, they don't forward normal proxy request
[22:11] <lenios> i'm not a squid expert
[22:16] <RoyK> archer: it is, but why?
[22:16] <RoyK> archer: for a reverse proxy, I'd recommend varnish
[22:18] <archer> since what ... don;t know habit?
[22:20] <archer> RoyK: would you help me to find a conf example for varnish, in roles of both rproxy and normal one?
[22:21] <archer> i don't need cache actually
[22:22] <archer> i just make use of such to enhance security infrastructure
[22:23] <archer> it is a httpd router for me only. but i think i am just used to squid, which is actually ... no longer the one i like
[22:24] <archer> i cannot find varnish examples or ez start manual at the moment ... although it is even tougher for me to read squid launch script
[22:29] <RoyK> archer: squid is good for caching - varnish for reverse cache
[22:30] <RoyK> archer: you can combine the two, though  http://blog.tedd.no/index.php/2010/07/30/setting-up-debian-with-varnish-as-internet-proxy/
[22:30] <archer> but i need no such a function. for security concern cache need managing ..... another nightmare
[22:34] <archer> RoyK:  i cannot understand the necessary in the link
[22:34] <RoyK> brb
[22:40] <archer> there is no wiki,guide config examples....
