hggdhfolks, quick Q -- what would you like to be tested on Hardy/Dapper/etc re. server?00:06
SpamapShggdh: upgrades to lucid :)00:06
hggdhSpamapS: now that's unfair ;-)00:06
* hggdh carefully agrees, though00:07
SpamapSYou talking about SRU stuff or just in general?00:07
twbI think what I want most is for you to not break them00:10
hallynBrdavs: yeah, the good news is natty should fix those00:14
hggdhSpamapS: SRU, both server packages and kernel00:22
Brdavshallyn: hahaha...00:26
Brdavshallyn: natty, orphan, prancing etc... They might as well be replaced by freebsd by then.00:27
BrdavsJails - i hear - work.00:28
BrdavsAnyway... take care, buys...00:29

BilgeMy server just rebooted twice unexpectedly01:46
BilgeIn the syslog I see01:46
ascheelquestion about Ubuntu server 10.10.  Fresh installation, it's only Ubuntu Server meaning it's only booting to a CLI anyhow, but the video is not displaying.  It worked just fine during the entire installation of server, but the video is not working at all right now.  Anybody know what I can try to modify to get it to recognize this video adapter/02:00
ascheelRelated, the screen blacks out also during part of the Ubuntu Desktop installation.  it displays the initial splash screen, you can see it flicker like it's changing video modes to the next step, but then VGA signal is lost.02:01

ascheelI've got a working install of server 10.10 running off of a CF card so I can use all 4 SATA ports as an array using adm.  Obviously it's a bit slow.  To speed it up, I want to move directories that get written to the most moved off to the array.  The largest part of that is apt-get.  Where does aptitude download the .deb files prior to dpkg when using apt-get?04:07

twister004hi guys... im writing a script to copy a folder to a location,  zip the  folder and then move it to some other location.. can i write these commands in sequence and will they work without any issue?... im doing this on my ubuntu-server 8.0404:37
twister004basically, I want the copy command to complete... and only then should the compression start.. and then the move04:40
shaunotwister004: the usual way to do that is with '&&'.  chain each command together eg copy /that/file here && gzip file && mv file.gz /somewhereelse/.04:59
shaunoif any step fails, the chain breaks and the next step(s) don't run.05:00
twbOr set -e05:00
shauno(if failure is okay, you can use ; instead)05:00
twbSee also #bash05:00
twister004shauno.. gr8!05:05
twister004ill use &&05:05
twister004shauno.. do u suggest i use gzip or bzip2?05:05
shaunoI've no real preference between them really.  as long as I know bzip2 is going to be available at the destination too.05:09
SpamapStwister004: gzip is faster, bzip2 is more tolerant of corruption.05:15
SpamapSand achieves a bit higher compression ratios on certain types of data (like source code :)05:15
* SpamapS would love to resurrect his multi-threaded bzip2 compressor project.. :-P05:15

iclebytehas any one experienced trouble with software RAID 1 on 10.04?11:06
KenHi all. I have two locations, one with three computers another with seven. The location with seven has a "file sever*" for sharing files between all of the Windows XP machines. (*It's actually just a Windows XP with a shared network drive. Don't ask.) I'm trying to encourage the migration to Linux Server and one of the winning points would be if we could set it up so we have remote access to the same folders over the in11:08
iclebyteit just wont boot. gives me the grub error no such disk. if i run the rescue cd, mount md1 then reboot it starts up fine. as soon as i power off the machine and do a cold boot it fails. I suspect it's something to do with LVM's uid's changing so I updated /etc/fstab to reflect /dev/md1 and /dev/md0 instead of the UID's however I still get the same issue. should I update grub.conf to point to /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 also?11:08
iclebyteKen, you can use a VPN to achieve what you want.11:08
iclebytelook at openvpn11:09
Keniclebyte: Thanks for the confirmation. I really appreciate the help.11:09
iclebytemost welcome.11:11
iclebyteKen, i've also found cost to be a pretty good one to convince management to move to linux for servers11:12
KenIclebyte: I've expressed that it's free and the reasons why but they were very much "Oh, but free stuff must be insecure"11:16

izinucsI think I just backed up my mysql database using mysqldump -u USER -pPASS --single-transaction -Q --databases foo bar .. looked like it went smoothly.. but where does it put the file(s)?  or am I missreading the command and at the end have two database names.. the secondary being the backup with path location?14:20
SpamapSizinucs: it spits the backup out to stdout as SQL and DDL14:22
izinucsSpamapS: I'm pretty novice with mysql.. what I would like to to is backup my joomla database on my home server and reuse it on some commercial space I bought.  Can you help with a link/method?14:24
SpamapSizinucs: so when you run that mysqldump, you need to add on the end   > backupfile.sql14:25
SpamapSizinucs: then just transfer that backup file to your server and import it with   mysql -uUSER -pPASS < backupfile.sql14:26

apwkirkland, about ?15:40
kirklandapw: yo15:40
apwabout this long filenamy thing for ecryptfs15:40
apwit seems to me that the changes are going to be pretty big, and15:41
apwif upstream don't expedite them we are unlikely to have working support15:41
apwfor natty ...15:41
apwnow as this is not a regression, but it does cause issues15:41
apwwe might want to be in a position to disable it by default in new installs15:41
apwi was thinking of bringing this up for discussion at the release meeting ... what do you think15:42
kirklandapw: hmm15:42
apwmy position is approximatly that we should prepare for the possibility that we want to turn it off15:42
apwand decide at A315:42
kirklandapw: so what do you need from upstream?  commits of jjohansen's stuff to the ecryptfs branch?15:43
kirklandapw: once the changes are agreed upon?15:43
apwthat would pre-supposed that his stuff was a fully featured solution and its not even that yet15:43
apwso even if its perfect in say 3 weeks time, thats very close to the wire15:43
kirklandapw: yeah, no kidding15:44
kirklandapw: so i mean, worst case is that we keep chugging as we are, dropping errno 3615:44
kirklandapw: right?15:44
apw(as i understand it we cna only have one long name pointing at a file in this solution currently etc)15:44
jjohansenno15:44
apwright ... so the question is are we ok with the status quo, or should we disable it, if jjohansen's patches arn't ready15:44
apwhey jjohansen you're with ius15:45
jjohansenjust sat down15:45
apwwhats your feeling on whether they will be production ready by A3 ?15:45
jjohansenI think there is a good chance15:45
Error404NotFoundI have 3 webservers which need a directory to be synced across each other. What would be the best solution here?Host it on an nfs server and share it from there?15:45
kirklandapw: if his patches aren't ready, then they just don't make natty, and we keep chugging with long file name failurs15:45
apwok so i am just trying to work out if there is anything needed if that isn't true15:45
apwie there are 3 outcomes working support/status quo/turn off15:46
apwand if 1 is not available do we continue with 2 or recommend 315:46
apwkirkland, so you vote 2 i take it, i  am abivalent i guess 2 is easier15:46
apwjjohansen, any reaction to your patches from upstream?15:47
kirklandapw: i've haven't seen the code so i don't know how easy it would be to "turn off"15:47
kirklandapw: i think i understood jjohansen to be working on an option where those could be turned off at mount time15:48
kirklandapw: which would be great15:48
apwkirkland, i thought it was a mount option or something15:48
jjohansenapw: not yet, yes mount time option15:48
apwjjohansen, ok so for 3) we need a patch for that as well ... as well as installer changes15:48
apwso unless someone is pushing for 3) i am saying nothing :)15:49

bcessahi there, I'm having problems getting UTF8 characters on my server, I check using: echo $LANG and I get an empty line, in another server where it do works I get this: en_US.UTF-8, any ideas on how/where to configure this on the first server? :O17:16
EvilPhoenixmaybe this: dpkg-reconfigure locales17:18

kirklandsmoser: what's your question(s)?17:19
bcessaI'm using in fact a virtual server with openvz17:19
smoserdoes it look sane ?17:20
smoseror is it absolutely wrong to try wget/curl in config there.17:20
kirklandsmoser: well, that part is a little strange17:20
kirklandsmoser: but i get what you're doing17:20
kirklandsmoser: having sane timeouts is pretty essential17:21
bcessathis may be obvious but I'm guessing a reboot is required after the reconfigure right, I just run it without any problems17:21
smoserok. then i'm going with that.17:21

zulSpamapS: why is it dangerous?19:43
zulRoAkSoAx: yeah koan is still very rh specific19:43

Tophati have opsview running, and root can use mail, but the nagios user gets a permission denied error.  there is no /var/mail/nagios ..how can i add the user to mail?20:35
RoAkSoAxkirkland: yeah /dev/input/mice tracks every single mouse connected... I just wished there was one work keyboards...20:36
Tophatusing exim4 if that makes a difference20:36
kirklandRoAkSoAx: sweet20:37
kirklandRoAkSoAx: that should be enabled, then20:37
RoAkSoAxkirkland: what can be done for keyboards, is use a keyboard = y, that will attempt to find a keyboard in /dev/input/by-id by searching for a kdb or keyboard regex... though that doesn't ensure that all devices create symlinks with kdb or keyboard names20:39
genii-aroundTophat: I'd probably instead send it to root with   nagios: root                 in /etc/aliases20:41
kirklandRoAkSoAx: hmm, okay20:41
kirklandRoAkSoAx: okay, i'm going to shut down, pull my battery, and see if and how much powernap is saving on my laptop20:42
Tophatgenii-around thanks, will this work if its the nagios user thats sending the email?20:43
genii-aroundTophat: I'm not sure what the parent process is there20:44
genii-around( I don't use nagios )20:44
Tophatlucky you :P20:44
RoAkSoAxkirkland, Another option is to restrict the InputMonitor for keyboard/mouse only then... and the config will default to "mouse = y" and "keyboard = y" (the latter will attempt to detect keyboard automatically)20:57
kirklandRoAkSoAx: oh, another thing ...21:24
kirklandRoAkSoAx: i think we need a timestamp in front of "PowerNap will take the following action in [6] seconds: [/usr/sbin/powernap]"21:24
kirklandRoAkSoAx: so that if you miss this message in real time, you know when it *was* delivered ;-)21:25
