wiiflowwhy i cant run this from everywere /var/etc/newcs.x8601:05
wiiflowi must do it from folder itself01:06
wiiflow./newcs.8601:06
wiiflow./newcs.x8601:06
wiiflowwhy?01:06
pmatuliswiiflow: b/c that executable is not in your PATH01:06
wiiflowhow can i make this to be runed from rc.local01:07
WinstonSmithwiiflow, you can give it the full path eg var/etc/./newcs.x8601:07
wiiflowlook01:08
wiiflowroot@Maverick:/var# /var/etc/newcs.x8601:08
wiiflowThis is NewCS 1.67 RC1 [Build: 95] - the New CardServer by the Butter-team..01:08
wiiflowCompiled on Jul 14 2009 at 12:13:1801:08
wiiflowReading Config file from /etc/newcs.xml01:08
wiiflowCannot open config file... quitting01:08
wiiflowit opens the newcs.xml just were it is01:08
wiiflowdont know why01:08
WinstonSmithwell it obviously needs to find the config file01:09
WinstonSmithcopy newcs.xml to /etc?01:09
wiiflowthe point is how to run itself with ubuntu from rc.local01:09
wiiflowbecause it dont run from nowere just from itself folder01:10
WinstonSmithin rc.local do a cd to that folder first01:10
wiiflowhow?01:10
wiiflowthis way looks my rc.local01:10
WinstonSmithcd /path/to/folder01:10
wiiflowsleep 4501:11
wiiflowsleep 4501:11
wiiflow/var/etc/newcs.x8601:11
wiiflowone sleep01:11
wiiflowsleep 4501:11
wiiflowcd /var/etc/01:11
wiiflow/var/etc/newcs.x8601:11
wiiflowshould look like this?01:11
wiiflowor maybe01:12
WinstonSmithor just newcs.x86 since ur already in that folder701:12
wiiflowsleep 4501:12
wiiflowcd /var/etc/01:12
wiiflow./newcs.x8601:12
wiiflowlike this01:12
wiiflowthis looks promising01:12
wiiflowlets see01:12

cn1209This might be a bit off topic. But... What is the best place to buy a domain at a low price?02:29
qman__best is a matter of opinion02:31
qman__I use mydomain.com, they've been good so far02:31
cn1209cool. I'm looking into getting some kind of affordable cloud hosting to install ubuntu.02:36

computerwiz_222hello, i have a support question relating to a boot issue.02:48
Jeeves_computerwiz_222: Ask your question, and it might be answered :)02:49
computerwiz_222my problem.. i was playing with fstab for nfs. i edited the file and it wouldn't boot anymore. i used a livecd to revert the file and now i get initramfs. my root partition is raided.02:50
computerwiz_222raid102:51
computerwiz_222any ideas? im really in a bind.. this is my home server with 2.5tb of data and his issue has stumped me lol02:54
computerwiz_222this*02:54
Jeeves_What does it say before you go into initramfs?02:56
computerwiz_222various mount errors such as: mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed. no such file or directory02:58
computerwiz_222the livecd revealed that all the partitions appear fine.. no dead hard drives here02:59
Jeeves_Maybe your UUID in your fstab is screwed up?03:00
computerwiz_222do you have any suggestions for fixing this? or links to point me in the right direction.03:01
=== WinstonSmith_ is now known as WinstonSmith
Jeeves_computerwiz_222: I think you need to have another look at your fstab03:02
Jeeves_I think it cannot mount / because there is an error of some sort03:03
computerwiz_222sure thing, I'll check it out.03:03
StrangeCharmhow do i use rm to remove every file whose name matches a particular pattern inside a directory and it's subdirectories? say, i want to remove *.txt in /malarkey , and also /malarkey/stuff, and /malarkey/junk03:03
Jeeves_StrangeCharm: man find03:03
computerwiz_222Thanks, I'll let you know.03:03
StrangeCharmthanks Jeeves_03:05
Jeeves_np03:06
computerwiz_222oh my god thank you so much!!! I'm back in business.03:21
Jeeves_computerwiz_222: Good. What was wrong?03:24
computerwiz_222i added a line to fstab to boot from /dev/sdb5 (root) directly. its a hack but it gets me access to my data fast.03:29
Jeeves_Ah03:30
Jeeves_But now your raid is probably 'broken'03:30
computerwiz_222nope mdadm all checks out somehow03:31
Jeeves_Well ok :)03:32
computerwiz_222boy... dont touch a server for months and the dust really piles up... gotta clean this up tomorrow03:32
computerwiz_222this thing went down last night and it was too late to fix it.. so today i went out to ge my new tetra2 android tablet and all my hd media is locked up on the server lol03:35
computerwiz_222get*03:35
Delerium_Wondering... Does Ubuntu comes built-in some kind of firewall?! I installed apache for my new domain name and I can't see to connect using the domain name, but it works with the IP05:31
Psi-JackNot sure it comes default or not, depends on installation options, but yes, there's that piece of crap ufw.05:33
Psi-JackBut, if it works with the IP, it's not firewall.05:34
Psi-JackCheck iptables -L -n05:34
Delerium_Psi-Jack: can you try www.elezium.com please?05:34
Psi-JackVerify, is 67.70.32.65 correct?05:34
Delerium_yup05:34
Psi-JackIt works.05:35
Delerium_got ya05:35
Delerium_Thanks05:35
Psi-JackThis is the default web page for this server.05:35
Delerium_yes, didn't put much yte05:35
Psi-JackMuch? heh, you've not put anything, yet. :p05:35
Delerium_hahah!05:35
Delerium_Just building a home lab ;)05:35
Delerium_Thanks Psi-Jack for you help, I'm leaving05:47
Psi-JackDon't make any meth.05:48
Delerium_Just enough ;)05:51

jussigood morning shai08:09
jussi:)08:09
shai__Hi :)08:09
shai__Should I repeat the question from #ubuntu?08:09
jussiwait a sec08:10
shai__np08:10
jussishai__: you can simulate an apt-get command with -s08:11
jussi       -s, --simulate, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon, --no-act08:11
jussi           No action; perform a simulation of events that would occur but do not actually change the system. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Simulate.08:11
shai__Right, but I would like to read on every update, before actually (even in simulation) installing them08:11
jussi       -u, --show-upgraded08:12
jussi           Show upgraded packages; Print out a list of all packages that are to be upgraded. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Show-Upgraded.08:12
shai__I see...08:12
jussishai__: is that what you are after?  or am I missing your point?08:12
shai__And what command would make sure that only those 7 packages are installed and not the rest of the packages?08:12
shai__I'm not sure this is what I'm after just yet.. I need to check ...08:13
twbshai__: I use -s for that08:13
shai__But my main concern is, that I don't want to upgrade packages which are used in production (LAMP), unless those are security updates and then, I want to review them first.08:13
shai__But -s is "simulation" and not "security" ...08:14
twbshai__: IMO you'd be better off doing the reverse.08:14
shai__meaning?08:14
twbA security update is unlikely to bring in a bug08:14
twbA feature update is VERY likely to bring in a bug08:14
twbThus, reviewing and rejecting updates from the latter category unless you REALLY need them is useful.08:15
shai__Exactly!08:15
shai__This is why I ONLY want to install security updates on production server.08:15
shai__Thus, I want a way to make sure that my update/upgrade/safe-upgrade command will ONLY install security updates and nothing else.08:15
twbshai__: then it's simple08:16
twbshai__: only refer to lucid and lucid-security in your sources.list08:16
gcs_shai__: Let me ask, do you run a non-stable version of Ubuntu on a production server?08:16
shai__No.08:16
twbshai__: feature updates will never appear in lucid nor in lucid-security -- they appear only in -updates and -backports08:16
gcs_shai__: Then all updates you are going to get is security or stability fixes.08:16
shai__20 packages can be updated.08:17
shai__7 updates are security updates.08:17
twb*strictly* speaking policy probably allows updates to -security that fix bugs that cause massive data loss, too08:17
twbshai__: pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy"08:17
shai__http://pastebin.com/Dqb2xk7P08:18
gcs_twb: shai__ wants them as well.08:18
twbshai__: "Your paste has triggered our automatic SPAM protection filter. This happens when too many links are detected in a paste."08:18
twbTry "apt-cache policy | pastebinit -b http://paste.debian.net/"08:18
shai__I don't have 'pastebinit'08:19
gcs_Also, speaking in Debian terms, security upgrades goes to normal updates on point releases.08:19
shai__I'm kinda confused...08:20
shai__:)08:20
twbshai__: then manually use a different pastebin08:20
gcs_twb: Just enter the capcha, you'll see the policy.08:20
twbgcs_: I am not able to do that08:20
gcs_twb: ?08:20
shai__http://paste.debian.net/hidden/f908d6fa/08:20
twbshai__: thank you.08:20
gcs_twb: Btw, he has a mix of Karmic and Lucid source lines, including updates.08:21
twbshai__: see, you have -updates enabled08:21
shai__Hmm... this isn't the correct output :)08:21
shai__This is an amazon instance and not a production server.. hold on08:21
twbshai__: maybe you have stuff in sources.list.d that you forgot about08:21
shai__http://paste.debian.net/hidden/fffd9e93/08:22
shai__There you go08:22
twbshai__: ok, again you have -updates enabled :-)08:22
shai__And that's not what I want?08:23
gcs_shai__: Stupid idea, but would you subscribe to -security?08:23
twbshai__: -updates is feature updates; -security is security updates08:23
shai__I have ...08:23
shai__I get emails on security updates08:23
twbshai__: if you don't want the former, simply remove it from sources.list08:23
gcs_shai__: When you get a security notification, you can install that pakcage only after evaluation.08:24
shai__I do want to be updates on it...08:24
shai__I just don't want to install them when I run my aptitude/apt-get command08:24
twbshai__: hm, then I guess you could pin a=lucid-updates to -1, which will prevent them ever being installed without explicit OK08:24
gcs_shai__: Well, if you don't want to install them, why have it in sources.list ?08:24
shai__It says I have 7 security updates. I want to run my aptitude/apt-get command and have it only install (show me first ie. dry run) the 7 sec. updates08:25
shai__gcs_: to be notified. I can't just ignore them. I need to know they are there and are needed.08:25
shai__don't cost me none either .. so why not :)08:25
shai__lol .. pastebin only wanted me to enter a 3-digit captcha code to authorized the paste...08:26
shai__http://pastebin.com/Dqb2xk7P08:26
shai__:)08:26

kaushalits RAID 1011:56
twbActually never mind, swap stripes internally anyway11:56
gobbewell anyway, using cheap raid-cards in production server is quite big mistake11:56
_rubenthat doesn't say raid10, unless you're doing software raid1 over the raid0 luns11:57

DigitalFluxHi Guys12:18
DigitalFluxAnybody here worked with KickStart/Ubuntu before ?12:18
gobbeask the question12:23
DigitalFluxgobbe: I used the autopart statement in a kickstart file to bootstrap Ubuntu server 10.4.1, however during the installation it stops to ask if this is the correct partition scheme that i want, i want a fully automated installation with no human intervention required12:35
DigitalFluxso i need to automatically answer this screen with yes12:35
pmatulisDigitalFlux: not sure about kickstart but this is possible with the preseed method12:37
DigitalFluxpmatulis: Hmm12:37

gobbeyep12:46
gobbeneeds to be fixed12:46
jussihrm, Ive an issue with my server, I can login with sftp, but logging in with ssh it just hangs after I enter the password13:10
pmatulisjussi: check the server logs13:13
jussiits really strange, /var/log is coming up empty, but Im logged in as root.13:14
pmatulisjussi: no files under /var/log?13:14
jussithats correct13:14
pmatulisjussi: did you set up this server?13:15
jussipmatulis: no, its a vps, came with ubuntu set up.13:15
jussiI did add users etc13:15
gobbejussi: you should turn to your vps provider, /var/log _should_ have several files13:16
jussiyes, it should - seems its not loading the content there (Im trying the cli sftp client right now)13:17
jussiits hanging on "ls" in /var/log13:17
gobbeinteresting...13:17
jussiyes, its very strange13:18

pmatulisjussi: ah13:18
jussijust sftp13:19
pmatulisjussi: correction anyway: 'df -Th'13:19
pmatulisjussi: i think the provider is shoving all their machine logs somewhere else13:19
jussiis there anyway to run a script at boot? (I can reboot the script, perhaps I can drop something somewhere with sftp to get some diagnostics=)13:19

Likedoh15:34
Likedso what would be better?15:34
KurtKrautLiked, if it is meant to be a server, you shouldn't install Gnome.15:34
LikedWhat would be the best GUI15:34
Likedfor a server15:34
Liked?15:34
LikedXFCE?15:34
KurtKrautLiked, in fact, if it is meant to be a server, you shouldn't install a GUI.15:34
Likedbut say I felt... compelled to.15:35
PiciMost people don't use any graphical environment on a server, especially on a VPS.15:35
Likedthe VPS is of good spec.15:35
Liked2gb ram15:35
PiciHow were you going to connect to it to see the screen?15:35
Likedthrough VNC15:35
PiciIf you're so compelled to do it, then install whatever you want.15:36
KurtKrautLiked, many people will point out that withouth GUI, you'd save plenty resources for the daily server activities. But even if performance is not an issue, you shouldn't use GUI in a server.15:36
gobbeLiked: well if you want gnome, then install it with apt-get?15:36
KurtKrautLiked, none of the tipical server activities (like being an HTTP server, FTP server, e-mail server etc.), none of them you'll be able to administer, configure or even turn on or off throught a GUI. UNIX-like servers weren't made to be used with a GUI.15:37
patdk-wkapt-get install ubuntu-desktop15:38
KurtKrautLiked, you may install it, you may use it, you may access it remotely but you'll only get a poor desktop experience. If you want to try Ubuntu, just use a LiveCD.15:38
patdk-wkbut really that isn't a ubuntu-server question15:38
patdk-wkunless he wanted a remote desktop, I have done that sometimes, for testing different things, but then, it wasn't meant to be a server anyways15:39
pmatulisLiked: 2GB is not a lot for running a graphical environment.  you'll also need memory for the server portion15:39
Likedpatdk-wk: I was thinking of a remote desktop I guess.15:39
patdk-wkya, not server related question15:39
pmatulisLiked: you may consider a light window manager such as openbox but the best option is to learn the command line15:41
Likedpmatulis: Thanks I guess15:42
LikedI did consider openbox15:42
AndyGraybealmaybe o/t but i'd like to rsync some files from a remote host (one i don't control).  it's got our website on it and i want to make sure i have it backed up somewhere.  i'm doing: rsync -avz user@www.remotehost.com:~/directory  /srv/other_host_backup/www.remotehost.com15:47
AndyGraybealone problem i'm having it says "bash: rsync: command not found" on the remote host.  i figured i only needed rsync on my local host to do this operation.15:48
AndyGraybealany ideas?15:48
uvirtbotNew bug: #695055 in clamav (main) "package clamav-milter 0.96.3 dfsg-2ubuntu1.0.10.04.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/69505515:51
pmatulisAndyGraybeal: no, it needs to be installed on both sides15:54
AndyGraybealpmatulis: why do you think it's telling me 'rsync: command not found" do i have some syntax wrong?15:55
RoyKAndyGraybeal: unless you're rsyincing over nfs, it needs to be installed on both sides15:55
AndyGraybealnot nfs, i don't have control of the remote host :(15:56
AndyGraybealcan i do something like a wget instead?  if rsync is out of the question?15:56
AndyGraybealor scp?15:56
AndyGraybeali guess scp would be better.15:56
pmatulisAndyGraybeal: scp is a good option, yes15:56
AndyGraybealokay, thank you much.15:57
pmatulisAndyGraybeal: but if you will be doing the backup often then rsync is the best.  i'm surprised you have access to back up files but still incapable of installing rsync15:57
AndyGraybealpmatulis: my host i control, i'm trying to rsync the remote host; which doesn't have rsync.  why are you surprised?  is there something i'm missing?15:58
RoyKAndyGraybeal: you should be able to compile rsync on the host with only user rights16:00
RoyKAndyGraybeal: also, the sysadmin might just have forgotten it16:01
AndyGraybealRoyK: lemme talk to sysadmin, i swear i rsync'd earlier this year.16:01
pmatulisAndyGraybeal: is the remote end a ubuntu machine?16:01
AndyGraybealnaw, it's some old fedora machine or it used to be... lemme check16:04
AndyGraybeali think they just re-installed16:04
AndyGraybealwe had 2 days of downtime just recently,16:04
AndyGraybeali don't even have access to 'who'!16:07
AndyGraybealor uname16:07
AndyGraybealany other commands i can use to find out what my host is running aside from uname?16:07
AndyGraybealit's got bash.16:07
patdk-wkheh, doubt you can use cat /etc/issue; cat /etc/motd; cat /etc/lsb-release16:08
AndyGraybealnone of them work :)16:09
AndyGraybealokay, unimportant, i asked for perms to rsync.  waiting on response. i'm gonna find something else to do.16:10
patdk-wkcat /etc/redhat-release16:10
patdk-wk:)16:10
AndyGraybealk lemme try16:11
AndyGraybealnope16:11
AndyGraybealit is redhat based, there is rpms16:12
AndyGraybealit doesnt matter :)16:13
pmatulisAndyGraybeal: figure out the release by the rpm versions16:14
AndyGraybealenough stop :)16:16
AndyGraybeali'm going to wrk on something else and hope the admin gives me access to rsync16:16
AndyGraybealthank you though for your persistence16:16

KartiHi all, wondering if someone could give me a few pointers with NFS from a client17:07
KartiIt is set up on my desktopm but I don't have write access17:07
gobbewhat does your /etc/exports say17:11
patdk-wkgobbe, assuming he is using nfs2/3 :)17:22
gobbepatdk-wk: well, same file is used with nfs4, so what's point ;)17:23
gobbewhat's the point =)17:24
gobbeit's hard to type with n90017:25
patdk-wkhmm, didn't realized nfs4 used it17:25
skorvi'm a newcomer to ubuntu server.... small question: To LVM or not to LVM at install?17:25
gobbelvm17:25
patdk-wkI only looked at nfs4 alittle, before I was annoying by how you have to get it working17:25
Kartigobbe, it says - /srv/nfs/Linux *(rw,sync)17:25
gobbei don't see any point not to use lvm17:25
patdk-wkskorv, what will it be?17:26
patdk-wkif your just going make it one big system, just don't bother17:26
patdk-wkif you plan to ever expand or resize things, and stuff, defently lvm17:26
skorvdomain server17:26
patdk-wkdomain server? you mean, dns server?17:26
gobbeKarti: do you get error messages? what are rights to actual directory (/srv/nfs/linux)17:26
skorvsame role as a windows server17:26
skorvprimary domain server17:27
patdk-wkin that case diskspace won't be an issue, unless your running filesystems on it17:27
gobbewell, in server environment i don't see any idea not to use lvm17:27
patdk-wkthen you probably want lvm17:27
skorvweb server will work on another machine17:27
patdk-wkgobbe, lvm has screwed me over many times, in vm's :)17:27
gobbepatdk-wk: :-)17:28
skorvi've got a fresh install (no LVM) for my server17:28
patdk-wkso most of the time I don't use lvm's, except if I'm working with raw drives that I will want to adjust17:28
patdk-wkjust the moving lvm from machine to machine, expecially when they are named the same, gets lvm really screwy in the head :)17:28
gobbepatdk-wk: i'v been using lvm's for several years, without any problems17:28
gobbeproblems are 100% times with administrator, not lvm itself :)17:29
Kartigobbe, drwxr-xr-x 3 root root17:29
patdk-wkya, been using them for 5 years no, no real issues, except for all the rhel vm's17:29
gobbeKarti: and. do you get any errors?17:29
skorvwell... thanks i'll be ok with no LVM17:30
Kartionly in the fact that I can't read or write to the folders once it has been mounted in fstab17:30
gobbeKarti: what is the mount command?17:30
skorvhow good will the server work with a modem.... enouth to make it a fax server as well?17:30
Kartigobbe, my fstab is:17:31
Karti192.168.220.12:/srv/nfs/Linux /home/jim/Desktop/Network nfs default0017:31
gobbeand if you try to write you get error?17:32
Kartigobbe, the create folder and document are greyed out17:33
gobbeKarti: can you try it from terminal?17:33
milliganI have a bunch of 32x32 images. Is there any easy way of combining them into one image so I can use them as a SpriteSheet ?17:34
Kartigobbe, mkdir: cannot create directory `John': Permission denied17:34
gobbeKarti: whatabout sudo mkdir17:34
Kartigobbe, still the same17:35
patdk-wkhe doesn't have, norootsquash, so root not allowed17:35
gobbeuuhyea17:35
gobbesorry17:35
patdk-wkcheck permissions on the nfs server17:35
gobbeyep17:35
patdk-wkmake sure john has write access17:36
gobbeit's permission issue17:36
gobbegive write permissions to everyone if you want to share it with everyone17:36
Kartimany thanks I will try and give it to a group of users...17:36
Kartibrb17:36
skorvhow do i check the hardware status (fax modem) if its ok and recongized17:37
skorvinternal modem in my case17:37
patdk-wkskorv, hopefully it's a real faxmodem, and not a softmodem17:37
patdk-wkoh softmodem, heh, going have to find drivers for it I bet17:37
gobbesoftmodems are quite hell17:38
skorvi really dont know...17:38
patdk-wkwell, we can't help you if you dn't know the model of the modem17:38
