DJCharliequick question. i've just set up 2 identical servers for a shoutcast station. what would be the easiest way to set them up for automatic failover (non apache)?03:14
T3CHKOMMIEhey everyone ive got an old 1u rack server running server 10.04 lts and i set it up on eth0 (megabit) and now that i have gigabit id like to use either eth1 or eth2 but for some reason when i plug in on those ports my webserver ssh server and everything else doesnt work.03:28
T3CHKOMMIEany ideas"?03:28
T3CHKOMMIEhello everyone, i have a problem with my install of 10.04 lts, i originally configured my nic for just ETH0 now i have gigabit networking id like to use eth1 or eth2 that are both gigabit, they are configured for dhcp and are getting on my network. howeever none of my ssh web apache ampache or other services are available if im conected via eth1 or eth2 any ideas?03:38
Delerium_does your eth1 and eth2 are up, with ip assigned to them/03:42
DJCharliequick question. i've just set up 2 identical servers for a shoutcast station. what would be the easiest way to set them up for automatic failover (non apache)?03:50

T3CHKOMMIEhello........04:03
T3CHKOMMIEnevermind, i got it now. had to remove eth0 from the interfaces and add eth1 as the first NIC on the list. working fine now all on gigabit! woot!04:15

twbamarcolino: yes, IPv609:21
huatsmorning09:22
twbamarcolino: in IPv6 every host gets as many addresses as the whole internet got in IPv4.09:22
amarcolinotwb: nope just plain ipv409:24
twbamarcolino: right, so don't do that09:25
twbamarcolino: use IPv6 and the problem will go away09:25
amarcolinotwb: hmmm... you have to explain why considering I am paying for these static ips and wish to keep one as reserve09:26
twbamarcolino: because IP addresses are not a scare commodity in IPv6?09:26
=== Tankenator_afk is now known as Tankenator
amarcolinotwb: so how would I go about doing the same thing using ipv6 considering I have never touched it09:28
twbamarcolino: 1) go buy a book on IPv6; 2) read it; 3) do stuff09:31
amarcolinobinBASH: just read that am I to assume that I have to make one of the machines into a gateway otherwise I don't see how step 8 would work on a machine without a static ip09:32
amarcolinotwb: ok09:32

amarcolinobinBASH: ok, thanks for the link will try it out and see how it goes09:33
binBASHmost sites don't work with ipv609:33
twbYou have about two weeks before there are no IPv4 addresses left09:33
binBASHtwb: I just bought 3 /24 IPv4 Nets ;)09:34
amarcolinobinBASH: yeah but sooner or later we will have to use it and at this moment ipv6 tunneling doesn't amuse me09:34
twbIMO if IPv4-only users can't reach your site: tough09:36
binBASHamarcolino: that will take 2 more years09:37
twbbinBASH: what will happen is that ISPs will start NATting their entire network, just like asian ISPs do already.09:38
amarcolinobinBASH: probably, lets see how that goes. How long has ipv6 been worked on?09:39
twbamarcolino: decades09:39
amarcolinotwb: far too long09:39

oCeanSophia23: first, move the file somewhere inside your webserver's documentroot13:26
Sophia23@oCean. please elaborate13:30
oCeanwell, your webserver is restricted to certain directories only. Usually (and default) starting in /var/www So (without modifications) it will not be able to access /home/whatever13:31
oCeanSee the DocumentRoot in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default, most likely pointing to /var/www, so that is your webserver's document root. Move the .7z file somewhere below that root, and it should be availble13:32
Sophia23ok, done13:34

oCeanSophia23: your webroot /var/www is translated to / in your browser, so leaving out /var/www will work.13:36

dominicdinadaQuestion what package from apt-get do i install to be able to read/write/mount an ntfs drive in 10.0415:47
gobbentfs-3g - read-write NTFS driver for FUSE15:49
pmatulisis FUSE the only way to interact with NTFS?15:52
gobbei'm not sure, at least ntfs-3g is _only_ one able to write to ntfs, afik15:53
gobbeafaik15:53
gobbe:)15:53
RoyKgobbe: the in-kernel ntfs driver supports some writes, if you're willing to click EXPERIMENTAL/UNSTABLE during compilation15:53
gobbeyes, i know that15:54
gobbebut ntfs-3g is only one that supports it without experimental :)15:54
RoyKafaik ntfs-3g is stable15:54
RoyKthe in-kernel stuff isn't very good15:54
dominicdinadayes it is funny because i can mount on the laptop just not the server15:55
gobbeyep15:55
gobbentfs-3g is stable15:55
gobbedominicdinada: usually in server environment, there's no ntfs-disks from other partition to mount :)15:56
gobbethat's why it is not included by default15:56

dominicdinadahmmm it says that it is installed i am going to reinstall just to be sure15:58
dominicdinadaok this doesnt make sense, i guess the other external drive is ntfs as well, But why doesnt the 2nd external drive map itself to the next logical /dev/sdb#15:59

amarcolinohi ive got my thomson TG585 router in bridge mode which allows me to use my static ips, however, by doing that I lose wireless function, is their a way to keep it in bridge mode and still allow one of the machines to use wireless?17:56
gobbemaybe you should ask that from thomson?18:02
amarcolinogobbe: doubt it I think I am just going to slap on my netgear and see if I can set it up with the thomson18:03
RoyKamarcolino: perhaps you can run openwrt on that? :)18:08
gobbe:)18:08
amarcolinoRoyK: I doubt it I am quite sure I can't run that on this netgear DG834G :'(18:10
RoyKamarcolino: http://wiki.openwrt.org/oldwiki/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/Netgear/DG834G18:10
RoyKyou probably won't need the serial console, but it might come in handy if things get messed up18:12
amarcolinoRoyK: nice but isn't their an easier process this is the only spare router I've got and I ain't too sure aboutt he whole opening and fiddling witht he inside components18:18
RoyKwell, get anoter :)18:19
amarcolinoRoyK: that actually made me laugh, guess will swap both routers around for now and stop doing what im doing so the other comps can use wireless tonight, tomorrow will have to find a solution to this problem otherwise will need to buy a a long rj4518:22
amarcolinoRoyK: thanks for the suggestion might just do it once i stop getting cold feet18:22
RoyK:)18:22
* RoyK runs an old wrt54gl with openwrt - works like a charm18:23
amarcolinoRoyK: by the way serial? You mentioned it and I was lost care to explain?18:26
RoyKthe serial console can be used if you have some serious accident and flash the device badly18:27
RoyKmostly 'safe mode' or whatever they call it should fix things18:27
RoyKhttp://wiki.openwrt.org/oldwiki/OpenWrtDocs/Troubleshooting18:28
amarcolinothanks will check it out, I am off for now take care18:29
RoyKif you need the serial console, you probably also need a TTL/RS323 converter, since most routers use TTL levels (3,3V/0V) for their serial ports, and not RS/323 levels (+12V/-12V or +15V/-15V)18:29
amarcolinoI have no clue what those are will need to research and it seems like I may not be attempting this any time soon18:30
RoyKamarcolino: I don't have a serial console, and haven't bricked any router yet18:31
amarcolinook, will see how things go18:32

tom_my /boot partition ran full (98%). Which package do I need to remove in order to delete old kernel images to free space. Is it safe removing linux-image-2.6.32-21-server etc which I don't need?19:24
gobbetom_: you can remove them by hand19:25
tom_gobbe: so no aptitude required, just delete the files in /boot?19:25
gobbetom_: you can remove either old packages or just kernel-files by hand19:26
tom_ok, thx. I was just worried that the apt db tracks nonexisting packages if I do this.19:27
RoyKtom_: if it's an old install, you probably have a truckload of kernels there you never use19:28
gobbeand you might even not have them anymore in db19:28
RoyKtom_: dpkg -l | grep linux-image19:29
RoyKgobbe: usually ubuntu doesn't remove old kernel images19:29
RoyKso they'll probably be there19:29
tom_it's a 10.04 install - should have given more than 100MB to the /boot partition.19:29
RoyKtom_: if it's not on lvm, it might be a little late for that19:30
* RoyK usually gives /boot half a gig if on a separate partition19:30
tom_yep - all is lvm but the /boot partition.19:30
RoyKtom_: did you find any old kernels?19:31
RoyKif the current one works, the old ones can be removed without problems19:31
tom_yep - I'm just moving them out of that directory manually in case I need them again.19:31
RoyKI'd just apt-get remove them19:31
RoyKbut that's just me :)19:31
gobbeRoyK: usually yes, but in history i'v seen cases where there are kernels without package anymore in db :)19:31
RoyKtom_: you can easily install older kernels later if needed19:32
tom_if I remove them with aptitude it also recreates the grub files so that's an advantage19:33

RoyKsome 10-12 years ago, you could DOS a machine with a malfunct ping, but current IP stacks don't have that issue21:29
qman__tucemiux, it's probably in a package that was installed on 10.04 but isn't installed on your 10.1021:29
RoyKtucemiux: cups drivers are just files - easy to install21:29
RoyKtucemiux: fgfi21:29
tucemiuxqman__,  ok the question is, how do I install the package ?21:30
kobrienoh no. it's fixed itself. I suppose the intermittent self reboots are a bad sign...suggests hardware/firmware doesn't it21:30
tucemiuxRoyK,  you keep saying it's easy to install yet dont mention a link or give me the instructions on how to do it,  im trying to install the hp officejet 5500 drivers21:31
RoyKsorry, tucemiux, I don't have it clearly in my head, but last I googled that, it was quite clear how to do it21:32
jdstrandhallyn: hi! I'm curious why you made vm-builder a native package in natty? (eg, 0.12.4+bzr461 vs 0.12.4+bzr461-0ubuntu121:32
jdstrand)21:32
tucemiuxRoyK,  actually, youre right, it's an easy fix21:32

j0nrevening. I am setting up a fresh install of 8,04 server and when I run 'newaliases' I get a fatal error about postalias: fatal: open /etc/aliases.db: Permission denied21:34
j0nr/etc/aliases.db did not exist, so i created it (touch /etc/aliases.db) and now get th error: postalias: fatal: cannot remove zero-length database file /etc/aliases.db: Permission denied21:34
qman__j0nr, did you use sudo?21:35
j0nryes21:35
j0nrwell, running as root21:35
j0nr@ qman__21:35
qman__j0nr, sure your filesystem isn't read-only? a simple `mount` will tell21:35
j0nrjust issue 'mount' ?21:36
qman__yes21:36
RoyKqman__: nope, it won't21:36
qman__no?21:36
qman__it does over here21:36
RoyKqman__: if the filesystem was remounted ro by the kernel, mount will still reflect the original settings21:36
qman__ah21:36
RoyKj0nr: dmesg21:37
SpamapShttp://askubuntu.com/questions/17125/testdrive-equivalent-for-ubuntu-server21:37

j0nrRoyK: http://pastebin.com/ihvKyDh821:39
hallynoh21:39
hallynI'm guessing user error21:39
RoyKj0nr: that is, first try 'touch /etc/asdf'21:39
j0nrRoyK: touch /etc/asdf worked21:40
RoyKthen the fs is rw21:41
* RoyK guesses apparmor is the bad guy21:41
j0nraliases.db exists21:41
RoyKcan you touch it?21:41
j0nrshall i disable apparmor? ala http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts-p321:42
j0nrhmm if it was running...21:44
j0nrnot running i guess means not a cause?21:44
jdstrandhallyn: vm-builder used to have this version: 0.12.4+bzr459-0ubuntu121:44
jdstrandhallyn: then you uploaded 0.12.4+bzr460, dropping the -0ubuntu1 and making the package native21:45
jdstrands/and/and thus/21:45
j0nrapparmor is not installed21:46
jdstrandhallyn: I was curious if you did this intentionally, and if so, why21:46
RoyKj0nr: apparmor is installed21:46
* jdstrand says an aside that his perfect ubuntu server would always have apparmor enabled...21:47
j0nri just tried apt-get remove apparmor and it said its not installed21:47
jdstrandhallyn: I just saw your last comment re user error21:48
jdstrandhallyn: dpkg treats native packages differently than non-native ones. one thing in particular is that a native packages always requires a full source upload, whereas a non-native just requires the diff.gz, dsc and changes file21:49
jdstrandhallyn: (assuming the orig.tar.gz is already in the archive)21:50
screen-xI get this error when trying to start a kvm guest with virsh. It the guest starts ok if I use qemu-system-x86_64 directly. I think it might be to do with the vnc monitor? "error: monitor socket did not show up.: Connection refused"21:50
hallynjdstrand: i'm trying to recall exactly how i did the upload.21:50
hallynjdstrand: yeah, i just messed up21:51
hallynjdstrand: should i do a version bump release?21:51
hallynjdstrand: btw, i was wondering why some packages didn't give me diff.gz files :)21:51
jdstrandhallyn: since you are doing bzr pulls and uploading, it doesn't make a huge difference for you, but if say I were going to patch something in vmbuilder and then forward it upstream, then I end up having to upload a whole new source tarball21:52
jdstrandhallyn: hehe21:52
hallynjdstrand: so for community convenience, i should do a version bump?21:52
hallynjdstrand: or is that just going to be more churn+pain for everyeone?21:52
jdstrandhallyn: the next time you do an upload, sure. but you need to first create an orig.tar.gz21:52
hallynjdstrand: iiuc bzr will just do it for me.  I notice there is a .orig.tar.gz in the tarball I uploaded for -46121:54
jdstrandhallyn: to do that, grab the upstream source via bzr (assuming you aren't using a release tarball, then pull out all the VCS stuff (ie, .bzr*), then tar -zcvf a orig.tar.gz file (excluding debian/), then drop debian/ in there, adjust the version and it'll all work out21:54
jdstrandhallyn: oh, then you need to fix that I think21:55
hallynwhat do you mean?21:55
jdstrandhallyn: yeah, that package is kinda weird atm21:55
hallyn(bzr-buildpackage -S is how I got it)21:55
hallynit sounds to me like bzr-buidlpackage -S did the right thing, i just messed up with my changelog in the packaging branch21:56
jdstrandoh wait, I looked a tthe wrong thing21:56
hallynthe bottom of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SergeHallyn_packaging describes how i had *planned* on doing the vmbuilder upload :)  (but unfortunately it didn't automagically dput like i'd hoped :)21:56
jdstrandhallyn: yes, I think you are right. just the version needs to be changed21:56
tucemiuxsudo apt-get install cupsys, there is a big difference between leaving the "sys" out, time to downgrade to 8.04 :-(21:57
hallynhm, actually there is an open merge request, maybe that'll give me an exc use to do a version bump21:57

Danny78I've got Ubuntu accessing Win7 but Win7 not seeing Ubuntu (but it can ping both FQDN and IP)23:41
fluvvellDanny78, so you have a samba server set up, smb.conf with a working share called sharename,   the output of smbtree is on http://pastebin.com/xpmuAN94, and your still wanting to be able to see your ubuntu box "BUDDHA" on your windows network, but its not showing?23:41
Danny78fluvvell:  yes that's correct23:42
Danny78fluvvell:  win7 can see my network printer and use it, can also see router and has internet, but can't see buddha23:42
fluvvellDanny78, but you can ping your  ubuntu server from windows.  You need to pastebin your current smb.conf file, then ask for some help to sort out the user and permissions stuff I think23:43
Danny78fluvvell:  ok23:43
screen-xWhat needs to be done to a fresh install of lucid to get virtsh to work?23:44
fluvvellDAnny78, also, does the directory that you are sharing exist? Are there files in it? (make a demo directory and copy some files with chmod 777 permissions)23:44
screen-xI can start VMs with  qemu-system-x86_64, but haven't had any luck with libvirtd based apps23:45
fluvvellDanny78, you could also go to your winbox and type     net use N:  \\buddha\sharename  /yes        and see if an N: drive appears on your winbox23:46
