sensaeI'm trying to get public key authentication to work on my ubuntu server install. sshd -ddd is complaining 'missing whitespace'03:49
sensaeI've copied my public key with ssh-copy-id, my permissions are set correctly, my private key works properly on other systems.03:51
jmarsdensensae: Check the format of the id_rsa file is correct?  That "missing whitespace" thing is (at least sometimes) a problem trying to parse a corrupted id_rsa file.04:04
sensaejmarsden: I figured it out :) My id_rsa.pub was malformed on the host I copied from04:04

veebullanybody know where I can find some sort of description for the options on the very first screen in the Server install?04:55
veebullNot finding it in the Server Guide, Install Guide for Alternate installer, or Community Docs04:55
* Datz remembers bookmarking some sort of guide at one time or another04:56
Datzmaybe this will help: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.10-maverick-meerkat-ispconfig-3-p204:56
Datzoh, that's page two04:57
Datzstart on page one :)04:57
veebullSpecifically looking for something that covers the differences between the F4 options: Normal install, cloud install, minimal, JEOS, etc.04:57
Datzhttp://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.10-maverick-meerkat-ispconfig-304:57
Datzah04:57
Datzis disk space a problem?04:58
Datzif not, just do normal04:58
veebullNo its not04:58
Datzotherwise do minimal04:58
veebulli don't always want to install a lot of extra stuff on a server04:59
Datzthen do minimal, and install what you need later04:59
veebullAm I being unreasonable in wanting some documentation to explain the available options, and what the differences are?04:59
Datz!minimal04:59
ubottuThe Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD04:59
Datz!cloud05:00
ubottuThe Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC), powered by Eucalyptus, is highly configurable and customizable to a variety of environments. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC05:00
DatzI'd go with normal05:00
veebullthanks, thats not what I'm looking for.05:01
veebullthough the UEC info is good stuff, thanks.05:02
Datznp, interesting yes.. but not for the average needs :)05:03
veebullroger that.  seems like thats where the majority of emphasis seems to be these days05:05

ubottuwebmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.07:02

airtonixAdog, it should be installed by default on your ubuntu desktop07:03

chrislabeardMy macs can see each other but my ubuntu machine can't see my macs09:25

gobbehave you installed packages to your ubuntu for this purpose?09:25
chrislabeardyes09:25
chrislabeardI have avahi-daemon installed09:26
gobbeit needs also mdns09:26
gobbehttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToZeroconf if you didn't follow this guide09:26

chrislabeardhttp://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/ubuntu-as-mac-file-server-and-time-machine-volume/09:26
chrislabeardfollowed that guide09:27
chrislabeardI can connect to the ubuntu computer from my mac using the ip09:27
chrislabeardbut the .local isn't reslolving09:28
gobbesounds like mdns is not working09:28
gobbehave you done firewall changes?09:29
gobbemdns needs ports to be opened09:29

chrislabeardis it possible that bind is conflicting09:30

BrixSatmorning :)10:09
=== chrislabeard_ is now known as chrislabeard
BrixSatthey say there is always a first time, well mine as come my server is consuming a lot of memory (almost double as usual) and i dont know why is there any comand more explenatory than top?10:10
gobbeso you want to see what are biggest memory eaters?10:15
chrislabeardCould it be something with the router that my server is on10:16
chrislabeardDoing with why its not seeing any of the other macs10:16
gobbechrislabeard: are macs conencted to router?10:17
BrixSatyes i want to see who is te boogie man :D10:17
chrislabeardgobbe: yes10:17
gobbechilicuil: well, it could be. what is the answer if you try to ping some mac from ubuntu?10:17
chrislabeardgobbe: When i do avahi-browse -art this is all i get http://pastebin.com/XVGrkScN10:18
gobbeBrixSat: top can show that if you sort processes by memory usage10:18
BrixSatany other "better" than top?10:18
BrixSatmore explenatory10:18
chrislabeardgobbe: All my other computers are connected via WIFI and my server is using WIred10:19
gobbehmmh, what's wrong with top? how it is not explenatory?10:19
gobbechrislabeard: it could be the router of course, but you could see if your ubuntu gets any traffic to ports 535310:19
BrixSatgobbe:  i would like to see memory in mbs and cpu10:19
BrixSattop is kind of confussing10:20
BrixSatfor example i would have to sum all the apache threads to get the real apache memory10:20
=== NG_ is now known as ng_
gobbeBrixSat: pmap could do that10:21
gobbeif they are triggered by one mother process10:22
BrixSathumm pmap is nice when you know wich process is the problem and you want to "debug" it10:23
BrixSatin my case my server has 1.5 gb mem and is now with 1.6 used (already in burst memory wich is 4 gb)10:24
BrixSatand normaly it would consume about 0.8 gb mem10:24
gobbewell, you start with top to see top memory eaters and then you could dig in with pmap10:24
BrixSati was looking for something "easier" :p10:25
gobbethere are few gui tools but they are not server-related so...10:25
BrixSatok ill have to do it the hard way :)10:26
chrislabeardgobbe: It only shows something when I ping the ubuntu machine on the ubuntu machine10:29
gobbei'm sure that there are tools, but i'm sorry that i don't know better way :)10:29
gobbechrislabeard: what is that something10:29
BrixSatgobbe:  no prob about that:10:29
chrislabeardk well when I ping it ... I get this 64 bytes from www.domainname.com (192.168.1.72): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.095 ms10:29
chrislabeardgobbe: the traffic i get ---- 0.000000 192.168.1.72 -> 224.0.0.251  MDNS Standard query A labeard.local, "QM" question10:29
chrislabeardgobbe: 0.000343 192.168.1.72 -> 224.0.0.251  MDNS Standard query response A, cache flush 192.168.1.7210:29
BrixSatgobbe:  htop :D nice one10:30
chrislabeardgobbe: When I try to ping one of my macs it gives me this --- 117.817437 192.168.1.72 -> 224.0.0.251  MDNS Standard query A chrislabeard.local, "QM" question10:31
chrislabeardgobbe: never get a response10:32
gobbewhat does actual ping say?10:32
chrislabeardping: unknown host chrislabeard.local10:33
gobbechrislabeard: you could try to disable firewall for test10:33
gobbeand see does this happen10:33
chrislabeardgobbe: still getting unknown host10:34
chrislabeardWhat is blocking it from communicating argg10:34
gobbeit might be that mdns is not working perfectly, i'm not expert on mdns10:35
chrislabeardwould it matter if on I'm on a PPC10:36
chrislabeardCan I just manually add my server to show up in the finder?10:38

gobbebecause for example libparted1.8-1014:02
gobbethat's not standard packet in ubuntu 10.1014:02
DigitalFluxHmm.. i see14:02
DigitalFluxthe point is .. i just want to install them non-interactively, Can i workaround that ?14:02
gobbewell. you cannot install them until you fix the problem of missing packages14:03
gobbewhy the nova-compute from repos isn't enough?14:03
DigitalFluxgobbe: they are pretty old14:04
DigitalFluxdon't even work with the current docs14:04
gobbeyou should report this issue to maintainer of the ppa14:04
