[00:07] <twb> I just got bit on the arse by a permission change on vmlinuz files (kernels) on my netboot server.
[00:08] <twb> Just to rule this out: was there any change in lucid where new kernels are supposed to be (say) r-------- instead of rw-r--r-- ?
[00:21] <twb> Never mind, I can demonstrate the problem is not in ubuntu's code
[00:22] <twb> Wait, no I can't
[00:22] <twb> http://paste.debian.net/103860/ is what I'm seeing
[02:05] <mrroth> hi
[02:05] <mrroth> anyone know if thier any type of thing like drobo raidz system for ubuntu or linux
[02:06] <mrroth> tha tis open source and free
[02:06] <mrroth> but works that ssame way
[02:07] <JanC> mrroth: what's drobo "raidz" ?
[02:07] <mrroth> drobo is the nas, that allows you to add disk of diff sizes
[02:07] <mrroth> and still hav redunency
[02:07] <mrroth> and allow the raid array to grow is size
[02:08] <twb> If by "RAIDZ" you mean ZFS -- no, you can't have a good ZFS on Linux.
[02:09] <JanC> it's some sort of RAID 5 it seems
[02:09] <twb> I've seen RAIDZ before sold as "ZFS uses RAID5, but fixed to be more gooderer"
[02:10] <JanC> but different
[02:10] <mrroth> what does drobo call it
[02:10] <mrroth> so drobo is bassicalaly zfs
[02:10] <mrroth> "http://www.drobo.com/products/drobo-fs.php"
[02:10] <JanC> actually, it might be similar to btrfs
[02:11] <twb> Well, ZFS *is* similar to btrfs :-)
[02:11] <mrroth> "Data Robotics BeyondRAID solves these two critical issues, delivering flexibility without downtime. Built on an advanced storage virtualization platform, BeyondRAID chooses the correct RAID algorithm based on data protection needs at any given moment. Since the technology works at the block level, it can write blocks of data that alternate between data protection methodologies."
[02:11] <mrroth> oh
[02:11] <mrroth> I wanted to see if I could bulid a ubuntu server that had the same features
[02:12] <twb> Ubuntu cannot guarantee no downtime
[02:12] <mrroth> oh
[02:12] <twb> That's, uh, technically impossible
[02:12] <mrroth> that what thier website said
[02:12] <mrroth> :(
[02:12] <mrroth> it seem illogical
[02:12] <JanC> drobo can't guarantee that either  ;)
[02:13] <twb> RIght
[02:13] <mrroth> oh
[02:13] <mrroth> but at least the feature to keep adding new disk or replacing smaller disk with a bigger one
[02:13] <mrroth> to achive more space
[02:14] <mrroth> they offer that, I wonder if it was just some repackage opens ource stuff or maybe there was somethign in the Open source community that did the same
[02:14] <twb> I would say: buy two 2TB disks and put them in a system that can take at least three disks.
[02:14] <JanC> you can do that with normal linux software raid, but the smallest disk will decide how much of every disk will be used then...
[02:14] <twb> RAID1 them.  At upgrade time, buy two nTB drives and migrate to a new RAID1 of those.
[02:15] <JanC> you can always move from RAID 1 to RAID 5
[02:15] <twb> This is a simple, predictable and comprehensible solution.
[02:16] <mrroth> oh
[02:17] <mrroth> so at upgrade time, just copy data from the mirror, to the nTB biggersize disk
[02:18] <mrroth> then remove the two smaller nTB disk
[02:18] <mrroth> and mirror the Second nTB biggersize disk
[02:19] <twb> mrroth: you add the new disks to the array, wait for the sync to finish, remove the old disks, then tell mdadm to grow to the new disks' size
[02:20] <mrroth> oh so I can remove disk from the raid 1 array
[02:20] <JanC> that will allow you to do everything without downtime
[02:20] <mrroth> sweet
[02:20] <mrroth> that acutally good idea
[02:20] <mrroth> and mdadm will expand disk to new disks ize
[02:20] <mrroth> size
[02:21] <mrroth> but I would have to have four bays right twb?
[02:21] <twb> Technically you can do it with only two bays
[02:21] <twb> It's just a little less fiddly if you can put all four disks in at once
[02:21] <mrroth> how do i get to add two more members to the array
[02:21] <mrroth> or I remove one smaller disk
[02:21] <mrroth> add the bigger one
[02:21] <twb> mrroth: you forcibly degrade the array
[02:21] <mrroth> and when it done synching
[02:22] <mrroth> oh so you degrade by removing one of the smaller disk from the raid 1 array
[02:22] <mrroth> put bigger one, it will synch and have same space as smaller disk
[02:22] <mrroth> then remove smaller disk, add second bigger disk
[02:22] <JanC> always make sure you have backups of important stuff when you do such things though  ;)
[02:22] <mrroth> rebulid the array
[02:22] <mrroth> and then use mdadm
[02:23] <twb> JanC: well, the backup is one half of the array you degraded and removed :-)
[02:23] <mrroth> IS THIER A  ubuntu based NAS applaince?
[02:23] <mrroth> yea because it mirror
[02:23] <mrroth> but always have a offsite backup
[02:23] <mrroth> raid is not backup :)
[02:23] <JanC> there are several Debian-based ones
[02:24] <twb> mrroth: probably, but Ubuntu itself is a generic OS, not a NAS OS.
[02:24] <mrroth> oh thier a debian based one hmm
[02:24] <mrroth> oh
[02:24] <mrroth> JanC which debian do you recoemnd or I can google Debian  +nas
[02:25] <JanC> I think FreeNAS is now Debian-based?
[02:25] <twb> mrroth: normally one would roll their own setup on top of Ubuntu or Debian to get a NAS
[02:25] <mrroth> oh http://www.debonaras.org/
[02:25] <twb> http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPureBlends
[02:25] <mrroth> freenas is what I was using
[02:25] <twb> A NAS is not a very complicated thing
[02:26] <twb> Just install ubuntu-server and then install (say) samba and nfs-kernel-server.
[02:26] <mrroth> OH I see
[02:26] <JanC> well, the nice thing about some NAS OS'es is that they automaticly detect additional disks etc.
[02:26] <mrroth> but I would need a frontend webbased management right
[02:26] <mrroth> oh they do hmm
[02:26] <mrroth> I like drobo but it 600 bucks
[02:27] <mrroth> and NO disk
[02:27] <mrroth> the NO disk part is fine, but the cost is huge
[02:27] <twb> Unless you're handing the system on to idiots, a CLI is the Right Thing.
[02:27] <mrroth> true that true
[02:27] <mrroth> and I can use ubuntu software raid
[02:27] <mrroth> :)
[02:28] <mrroth> I want three thigns, ssh (sftp), samba , NFS, and a webbased torrnet client, to download linux ISO
[02:28] <mrroth> :)
[02:29] <twb> linux isos my ass
[02:29] <JanC> most commercial home NAS boxes have torrent clients already  ;)
[02:29] <mrroth> oh
[02:30] <JanC> even many home routers have that nowadays, if they have an USB port
[02:30] <mrroth> yea but no redunecy :(
[02:30] <mrroth> hmm
[02:30] <mrroth> thanks dude
[02:31] <JanC> I have a 4-bay Netgear device which costed about 300-350 EUR without disks IIRC, but I think it was an end of series or something  ;)
[02:31] <twb> mrroth: two USB sticks, then :P
[02:31] <jforman> mrroth: if you want a file server with backup, try what i do...raid-1 between two disks that export via nfs and samba, and use rdiff-backup to copy that data to a 3rd hard drive on the same machine
[02:31] <mrroth> JanC does it allow extra APPS, or is it just for samba
[02:32] <mrroth> right now I have three 500 gig disk
[02:32] <JanC> it runs some sort of minimal Debian-derivative and there is a toolchain available
[02:32] <twb> jforman: not rsnapshot? :P
[02:32] <mrroth> one USB encoulser
[02:32] <jforman> twb: never heard of it.
[02:32] <JanC> it has a SPARC CPU though, so not exactly mainstream
[02:32] <mrroth> I would like to mirror both disk, and just use enclouser for backup
[02:33] <twb> jforman: it's a perl shim for cron+rsync+cp -al
[02:33] <jforman> twb: yeah, thats basically what rdiff-backup is
[02:35] <twb> Yeah, I thought so.
[02:35] <mrroth> JanC is your 4-bay Netgear device fast (throughput)/
[02:36] <twb> who cares
[02:36] <mrroth> oh
[02:40] <JanC> it's certainly not the fastest, but in general fast enough I guess
[02:41] <mrroth> cool
[02:46] <Mark_> Hi, i just installed a server with lamp to find PHPmyadmin wasn't included. then ln'd it from my usr/share/ to my www. But now i get error code 1045 anyone know what this means?
[02:52] <Mark_> nevermind i needed to install mcrypt
[03:36] <JohnFury> ahoy... people of ubuntu
[03:36] <JohnFury> anyone who successfully created a ubuntu image for openstack compute?
[03:47] <thewrath> how does one get on the ubuntu server team?
[03:47] <blueyed> I wonder why this build fails:
[03:47] <blueyed> http://launchpadlibrarian.net/61691370/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-i386.php5_5.3.5~snap201101060130-0~blueyedppa1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
[03:48] <blueyed> error seems to be: Zend/zend_stream.c:239: error: 'PROT_READ' undeclared (first use in this function)
[03:48] <blueyed> I am basically using a mashup of the Debian/Ubuntu packaging and the PHP 5.3 snapshot.
[03:49] <blueyed> This worked for 5.3.4 snapshots some weeks before, but now fails.
[03:51] <JohnFury> hello... anyone who successfully created a ubuntu image for openstack compute? Please...
[04:29] <blueyed> This is somehow triggered by the apache2filter package, where HAVE_SYS_MMAN_H is undef because of "checking for sys/mman.h... no" during configure.
[04:34] <JohnFury> hello... anyone who successfully created a ubuntu image for openstack compute? Please...
[05:02] <JohnFury> hello... anyone who successfully created a ubuntu image for openstack compute? Please...
[05:02] <JohnFury> how did you guys do it? any documentation that tells the steps?
[05:05] <twb> JohnFury: I do not know what an "openstack compute" is.
[05:13] <theamazingbeat> hi is this the channel to be for openssh issues
[05:15] <theamazingbeat> anyone?
[05:25] <c0nv1ct> theamazingbeat, it is the channel for server issues, just ask
[05:26] <theamazingbeat> okay So I have a sshkey dilema
[05:26] <theamazingbeat> you can follow up: #ubuntu-beginners-team
[05:26] <theamazingbeat> err wrong link
[05:26] <theamazingbeat> sorry
[05:26] <theamazingbeat> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1659447&page=2
[05:26] <theamazingbeat> there you can follow up^
[05:27] <theamazingbeat> anyway I have tried basically everything to set this thing up and it simple just wont work out the way I want
[05:34] <c0nv1ct> theamazingbeat, you should be able to just copy or append the key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server side and it should work
[05:34] <theamazingbeat> well when u use puttyGen doesn't it edit the key and change it
[05:35] <c0nv1ct> assuming /etc/ssh/sshd_config allows for RSAAuthentication and PubkeyAuthentication
[05:35] <theamazingbeat> better question, should i generate a key on my windows machine, or should i take the key already generated on my ubuntu machine
[05:35] <theamazingbeat> they are and PasswordAuthentication is not allowed
[05:36] <twb> My NFSv3 server is using 10% of the CPU just for lockd at the moment.
[05:36] <c0nv1ct> it really shouldn't matter, you should be able to import the private key into putty or export the public key to the server
[05:36] <twb> That's a bit excessive; how do I "restart" lockd (it's a kernel thread)?
[05:36] <twb> 10% of a quad-core Xeon, that is.
[05:36] <c0nv1ct> i don't use putty that much, i use SecureCRT on the rare occasion i am on a windows box, so i cant help  much with that
[05:38] <theamazingbeat> should i edit the authorized_keys with VIM editor or text editor? or does it not matter
[05:39] <theamazingbeat> cuz i hate VIM editor anyway
[05:40] <c0nv1ct> lol it shoudlnt matter, and you dont need an editor really
[05:41] <c0nv1ct> unless you have more than one key, you can just copy the public key over and rename it to authorized_keys
[05:42] <theamazingbeat> okay i have 2 files in my ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.... one named: aithorized_keys.swp and one named .authorized_keys.swo?
[05:43] <theamazingbeat> OMG
[05:43] <theamazingbeat> i fixed
[05:43] <theamazingbeat> it
[05:43] <c0nv1ct> those other two look like temporary files from having an editor open to me
[05:44] <theamazingbeat> lol for some reason my authorized_keys file got put into my Home folder
[05:44] <theamazingbeat> so all i did was move it to the .ssh folder
[05:44] <c0nv1ct> lol, there ya go
[05:44] <theamazingbeat> and BAM
[05:44] <theamazingbeat> dude i have been working this since thursday
[05:44] <theamazingbeat> almost 1 week
[05:44] <theamazingbeat> cuz I am brand new to ubuntu
[05:44] <c0nv1ct> lol, i've been using rsa key auth for years
[05:44] <c0nv1ct> it took me a while the first time too
[05:44] <theamazingbeat> well now i know how to do it
[05:45] <theamazingbeat> Persistence pays off
[05:46] <c0nv1ct> now the trick is not to lose the private key ;)
[05:46] <theamazingbeat> ya ima triple backup that file
[05:47] <theamazingbeat> While I have you I just have one more question. How do I basically map my laptop (windows box) to my linux so if I am not home I can access both drives via SFTP
[05:48] <theamazingbeat> map my laptop drive*
[05:49] <c0nv1ct> best bet for that would probably be cifs
[05:49] <c0nv1ct> just basic windows file sharing
[05:52] <c0nv1ct> though for a server you should really have the laptop map a drive off the server instaed
[05:56] <theamazingbeat> Basically what I want is if both my machines are at home, I go to a remote location, I connect to my linux box, how do i get to see my laptop drive as well at thew same time
[05:57] <c0nv1ct> you can just share a folder in windows like you normally would and map that to a directory in linux
[05:57] <theamazingbeat> ya how do i do that in linux?
[05:58] <c0nv1ct> check out both the samba server and client info ubuntu offers
[05:58] <theamazingbeat> :P
[05:58] <c0nv1ct> doing a client on the server is a bit more complicated because it is all command line
[07:10] <JohnFury> how did you guys created the image of ubuntu for Openstack?
[07:10] <JohnFury> the one that's on this site: http://wiki.openstack.org/RunningNova#Get_an_image
[08:38] <twb> I have ipv6 disabled at the kernel level.
[08:38] <twb> However, getent hosts (DNS) still returns IPv6 entries.
[08:38] <twb> Can I tell nsswitch.conf that its DNS resolver should ignore AAAA records?
[09:11] <WinstonSmith> hi ppl :) made myself an udev rule so that it loads my usb-wifi-driver. works well but i have to replug the device if i reboot. could anybody tell me where i have to make a udev rule so it runs at startup?
[09:12] <WinstonSmith> or is there a better way?
[09:28] <twb> udev shouldn't care whether the device was inserted at boot time
[09:37] <WinstonSmith> twb, so there is no udev rule i could create that checks devices at boot time? so it would be easier to just use rc.local?
[09:47] <noaXess> hey all.
[09:48] <noaXess> to install de_CH locale i need just the package language-pack-de and it's dependencies, right?
[09:51] <andol> noaXess: Well, at least as long as you want the de_CH UTF-8 locale. These are the locales setup by that package - http://paste.ubuntu.com/551004/
[09:51] <noaXess> andol: yeah.. thats what i want :).. and if iso?
[09:53] <noaXess> andol: how you checked that?
[09:53] <andol> noaXess: Not sure if there's a package which will setup that for you, but you can always stick a fiile yourself, under /var/lib/locales/supported.d
[09:53] <andol> noaXess: you can check available locales by running "locales -a"
[09:53] <noaXess> andol: do i need also language-support-de?
[09:54] <noaXess> locale -a ;)
[09:54] <noaXess> w/o s
[09:54] <noaXess> äh no.. not need language-support-de cause that will install.. openoffice.. uaaa
[09:56] <twb> noaXess: -base
[09:57] <twb> noaXess: or you can simply request a specific locale... "sudo update-locale de_DE.UTF-8", IIRC
[09:57] <twb>         chroot $template_dir locale-gen ${LANG:-en_US.UTF-8}
[09:57] <noaXess> do i need restat anything after installing language-pack-de?
[09:57] <twb>         chroot $template_dir update-locale LANG=${LANG:-en_US.UTF-8}
[09:57] <twb> That's what I do, it provides only the locale I ask for
[09:57] <twb> Note: I only use CLIs, so it may not be appropriate for a desktop
[09:57] <noaXess> twb: i don't need change the language.. de_CH is just for the correct deciaml and tausend seperator of numbers.. also for date's..
[09:58] <twb> noaXess: just set LC_DATE and LC_NUMERIC, then
[09:58] <noaXess> twb: we are in ubuntu-server ;)... so no desktop
[09:58] <twb> Sorry, LC_TIME not LC_DATE
[09:58] <noaXess> twb: set it in /etc/default/locale?
[09:58] <twb> It's all in the locale(1) manpage
[09:58] <twb> noaXess: in your .profile, unless you want it to be system-wide
[09:59] <noaXess> twb: hm.. maybe just for one user.. that runs a specific server application, openerp
[09:59] <twb> If you want it to be system-wide, try "update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_TIME=de_CH LC_NUMERIC=de_CH"
[10:00] <noaXess> twb: thanks.. but i will test it just on that specific user.. is there also a command to do it just for a specific user instead of do it manually in .profile?
[10:01] <twb> noaXess: not that I know of
[10:01] <noaXess> twb: so manual way..
[13:24] <azizLIGHTS> is it advisiable to put a template for joomla first, then install virtuemart or its ok to do in any order?

[13:46] <pmatulis> shaggy2: pastebin your sources.list file
[13:46] <shaggy2> ok gimme a sec please
[13:47] <pmatulis> shaggy2: also note that this forum post is from 2005
[13:49] <shaggy2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/551072/
[13:50] <shaggy2> I understand that, but it's the most recent that I could find for ubuntu, I don't trust any tutorials that are not on ubuntu forums as I found a few that tryed to open security holes, as informed by a few people in the #ubuntu irc
[13:53] <shaggy2> pmatulis: u still there?
[13:53] <shaggy2> pmatulis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/551072/
[13:53] <pmatulis> shaggy2: well downloading a shell script and letting it do whatever it wants on ubuntu is just not supported at all
[13:53] <shaggy2> say what???
[13:53] <pmatulis> shaggy2: do you have any idea what it's doing to your system?
[13:54] <pmatulis> (wget http://www.siemens-mobiles.org/vhcs/vhcs.sh)
[13:54] <shaggy2> well vhcs is ment to make easy manage for a webhost
[13:54] <shaggy2> no no no no I never went for that opt... I went for the other option to install manualy
[13:55] <shaggy2> I didn't trust the as it wasn't coming from ubuntu or the creators (vhcs) website
[13:56] <shaggy2> I would never using a shell script
[13:58] <shaggy2> pmatulis: ok so can I continue with that tutorial or is it unsafe?
[13:58] <shaggy2> pmatulis: keeping in mind I am not using the shell script
[13:59] <pmatulis> shaggy2: i would drop it.  you are trying to install stuff in a non-standard way on ubuntu.  simply put, there is no vhcs ubuntu package
[14:00] <shaggy2> just like there is no cpanel for ubuntu either, webmin does not have the features that these other 2 have
[14:01] <pmatulis> shaggy2: webmin is not supported either
[14:01] <pmatulis> !webmin
[14:01] <shaggy2> witch it did being the reason I removed it
[14:02] <shaggy2> so is there a system manager that is supported and can manage a Vhost?
[14:02] <pmatulis> shaggy2: i don't know if the ebox framework can do what you want
[14:02] <pmatulis> !info ebox
[14:04] <shaggy2> from what I find on google ebox is for ubuntu and xbox 360
[14:04]  * shaggy2 confused
[14:06] <pmatulis> xbox?
[14:06] <shaggy2> google search = ubuntu 10.10 ebox
[14:07] <shaggy2> top result = [ubuntu] Xbox Live and Ubuntu 10.10 - Ubuntu Forums
[14:07] <pmatulis> shaggy2: anyway, you'll need to either take a different approach or risk the use of unsupported s/w + deal with the install problems
[14:08] <shaggy2> ok but where could I find help on the different approach?
[14:08] <popey> shaggy2: http://www.zentyal.org/ - ebox is now zentyal

[16:04] <RoyK> wtf is puppet(master)?
[16:04] <gobbe> configuration tool
[16:04] <gobbe> and central management
[16:05] <RoyK> ah - that one...
[16:05]  * RoyK forgot
[16:05] <gobbe> however i dont see point to run puppet on puppetmaster
[16:06] <RoyK> from http://bitfieldconsulting.com/puppet-tutorial <-- it should be pretty simple to run both on the same machine
[16:28] <gobbe> yes it should
[16:34] <mrroth> !backup
[16:34] <mrroth> !raid
[16:36] <guntbert> !askthebot > mrroth

[18:29] <azizLIGHTS> how do i do this command "sudo mv ~/VirtueMart_1.1.6_eCommerceBundle_Joomla_1.5.22/ /var/www" .... it makes a new dir called VirtueMart_1.1.6_eCommerceBundle_Joomla_1.5.22 ... but i want it to dump directly to /var/www
[18:30] <gobbe> hmmh
[18:30] <gobbe> you want to move data from ~/VirtueMart_1.1.6_eCommerceBundle_Joomla_1.5.22/ to /var/ww?
[18:31] <azizLIGHTS> i want to move contents of that dir virtuemarket
[18:31] <azizLIGHTS> and subdirs as they exist
[18:31] <gobbe> go to the directory ~/VirtueMart_1.1.6_eCommerceBundle_Joomla_1.5.22/ and then sudo mv * /var/www
[18:31] <azizLIGHTS> into /var/www and not /var/www/virtuemarket/
[18:31] <azizLIGHTS> o
[19:00] <SpamapS> woot PPA stats
[19:00] <SpamapS> clint@clint-MacBookPro:~/src/lptools$ ./get-ppa-stats cassandra-ubuntu stable
[19:00] <SpamapS> cassandra	0.6.8-0ubuntu1	26
[19:01] <SpamapS> kirkland: seen the PPA stats feature yet?
[19:01] <SpamapS> doh
[19:01] <lifeless> timing is everything
[19:05] <RoyK> azizLIGHTS: the easiest way is to create a redirect from /var/www
[19:05] <RoyK> or you could change the apache setting for that virtualhost
[19:09] <seniorgregor> Hello, I am experiencing frequent system crashes with ubuntu-server (8.04, kernel 2.6.24-28-openvz) on many production servers.  The system hangs.  Is there a kernel guru around?  Here is a syslog extract of the bug: http://pastebin.com/P5pmLw2k
[19:10] <gobbe> hmmh
[19:11] <gobbe> are you admin of openvz-environment
[19:11] <gobbe> or buying your machines as virtual machines
[19:11] <seniorgregor> yes
[19:11] <gobbe> i would checkout your NFS and openvz-environments CPU usages
[19:15] <seniorgregor> it always happens on the same vz guest, always apache httpd.  CPU and NFS usages are high since it is a very busy website, but they are stable..  nothing out of control.
[19:50] <deadsmith> anyone know when grub 1.99 will go into the installer ISO?
[19:55] <genii-around> deadsmith: Probably April with Natty. apt-cache policy grub2 shows: Candidate: 1.99~20110104-2ubuntu1
[20:16] <AndyGraybeal> is there an ubuntu image specifically for virtual machines?
[20:19] <gobbe> yes there is
[20:27] <gobbe> sorry, there was
[20:27] <gobbe> cannot find it anymore
[20:37] <RoyK> AndyGraybeal: there is a kernel for virtual machines, and there is minimal install from the boot menu for small VMs
[20:37] <RoyK> AndyGraybeal: but the old JEOS has been abandoned
[20:38] <RoyK> AndyGraybeal: under which hypervisor are you planning to run these VMs_
[20:38] <RoyK> ?
[20:41] <gobbe> yep, jeos was the thing i wass looking for him :)
[20:42] <RoyK> it's available from the standard install disk
[20:42] <RoyK> press F4 IIRC
[20:43] <gobbe> ok
[20:52] <BrixSat> what permissions should have /var/www so that www-data user and proftpd user can write and read and execute?
[20:54] <AndyGraybeal> RoyK: kvm
[20:55] <AndyGraybeal> jeos yes
[20:55] <AndyGraybeal> bad ass thank you guys.

[21:14] <harrisonk> RoyK: I know
[21:54] <sparc> hey, is there a Cobbler analog for Ubuntu?
[21:55] <sparc> where something can pxe boot, and get added to a list somewhere
[21:55] <sparc> and then have an installation profile applied to it, so it can provision itself?
[21:56] <kirkland> SpamapS: we're actually working on cobbler for ubuntu right now
[21:56] <kirkland> sparc: ^
[21:56] <sparc> aah ok
[21:56] <kirkland> sparc: we do have something called "uec-provisioning", which does the pxe booting magic, etc.
[21:57] <sparc> hmm ok, that's cool
[21:57] <kirkland> sparc: but we're abandoning it in favor of getting cobbler working
[21:57] <kirkland> sparc: we should have something alpha quality in ubuntu natty next week-ish
[21:57] <sparc> i have PXE boot working now, i followed the automated install pdf directions
[21:57] <sparc> my boss likes it wiehn i can prsent pretty guis and things
[21:57] <sparc> hehe
[21:58] <kirkland> sparc: pointy hair?
[21:58] <sparc> i'm fine with just running tftp and dhcpd
[21:58] <sparc> tho
[21:58] <sparc> kirkland: haha
[21:58] <ideaman> Can anyone tell me a good PCI Wifi Card for that is linux compatible out of the box?
[21:58] <sparc> he's technical, but his boss has the pointy hair
[21:58] <ideaman> using Ubuntu server
[21:59] <sparc> ideaman: the orinoco and the aironet have had support for 10 years or so
[21:59] <RoyK> ideaman: there are several - most chipsets are supported
[21:59] <ideaman> I was just checking Amazon and all the name brands said nothing about linux so I wasn't sure
[21:59] <ideaman> thx
[21:59] <sparc> yeah, they don't mention linux in the marketting :(
[22:00] <ideaman> what about PCI/PCIE for desktops/servers, same ?
[22:04] <ideaman> sparc: same story for a PCI slot on a desktop/server?
[22:05] <sparc> yeah, PCI and PCI-e work fine in my servers
[22:05] <ideaman> on either of those brands?
[22:22] <g-hennux> hi!
[22:23] <g-hennux> i need someone with pam+ldap expertise
[22:23] <g-hennux> pam_groupdn, will  this have to be a posixgroup or groupofnames or what?
[22:24] <g-hennux> because i have set pam_groupdn to some group and this seems to be just ignored, i.e. any user can login
[22:46] <yann2> thanks for reopening #ubuntu-virt btw
