[00:06] folks, quick Q -- what would you like to be tested on Hardy/Dapper/etc re. server? [00:06] hggdh: upgrades to lucid :) [00:06] SpamapS: now that's unfair ;-) [00:07] * hggdh carefully agrees, though [00:07] You talking about SRU stuff or just in general? [00:10] I think what I want most is for you to not break them [00:14] Brdavs: yeah, the good news is natty should fix those [00:22] SpamapS: SRU, both server packages and kernel [00:26] hallyn: hahaha... [00:27] hallyn: natty, orphan, prancing etc... They might as well be replaced by freebsd by then. [00:28] Jails - i hear - work. [00:29] Anyway... take care, buys... [00:29] guys I mean [00:29] bye! [01:08] Please can someone help me with my IPv6 Networking problem, I have a thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1676715 but nobody has replied and I have provided a detailed explanation. [01:09] I am really stuck. === philtann is now known as PryMaL [01:46] My server just rebooted twice unexpectedly [01:46] In the syslog I see [02:00] question 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/ [02:01] Related, 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] Amigos. Is this an ideal sources.list for Ubuntu LTS server http://www.usefuljaja.com/assets/2007/4/19/sources.list.txt [02:02] Or should I just leave the sources.list to what I got be default.

This dude consfused me http://www.usefuljaja.com/2007/4/ubuntu-setup-page-2 [02:02] it shoule be fine [02:02] niles: Yeah. IT's fine already.

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? [04:17] ascheel: /var/cache/apt/ [04:28] shauno thank you very much [04:34] how can i identify which network card is eth0, eth1, eth2?

[05:00] if any step fails, the chain breaks and the next step(s) don't run. [05:00] Or set -e [05:00] (if failure is okay, you can use ; instead) [05:00] See also #bash [05:05] shauno.. gr8! [05:05] ill use && [05:05] shauno.. do u suggest i use gzip or bzip2? [05:09] I've no real preference between them really. as long as I know bzip2 is going to be available at the destination too. [05:15] twister004: gzip is faster, bzip2 is more tolerant of corruption. [05:15] and 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.. :-P [05:18] hello. ubuntu server 10.10. i have "@reboot /root/firewall.sh > /dev/null 2>&1" in crontab. the script works fine but does not run at boot.

[11:06] has any one experienced trouble with software RAID 1 on 10.04? [11:08] Hi 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 in [11:08] it 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] Ken, you can use a VPN to achieve what you want. [11:09] look at openvpn [11:09] iclebyte: Thanks for the confirmation. I really appreciate the help. [11:11] most welcome. [11:12] Ken, i've also found cost to be a pretty good one to convince management to move to linux for servers [11:16] Iclebyte: 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] I've had that debate with them too. I think the winner would be to show them it in action.

[13:43] i want the gnome user interface.. it's not going to be a server, but is my laptop [13:44] the ubuntu desktop edition includes lots of software and an altered gnome desktop [13:45] I want the core gnome without all that fluff.. a minimal version..

[14:22] izinucs: it spits the backup out to stdout as SQL and DDL [14:24] SpamapS: 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? [14:25] izinucs: so when you run that mysqldump, you need to add on the end > backupfile.sql [14:26] izinucs: then just transfer that backup file to your server and import it with mysql -uUSER -pPASS < backupfile.sql [14:26] SpamapS: seems almost too easy :) .. thanks [14:31] Question about the lamp package installed. I just reinstalled the package via Tasksel, I had been using the lamp package via tasksel that i installed long ago. However this time upon install extensions such as Curl, were not included I do understand they are different versions but why are they not included this time around, Secondly where do you got the curl extensions and the missing others [14:31] what is curl extension? [14:32] I mean it is not an older version that i just installed, Secondly it is not deperciated, and not marked unsafe [14:32] http://us2.php.net/manual/en/intro.curl.php [14:33] SpamapS: morning!!

So I'm still waiting for upstream to release new cluster-agents. The fixes for bashisms plus lots of other fixes to those RA's are in the new upstream. so it is either wait a bit more, or patch the files completely, ideas? [14:34] wait a bit more [14:35] izinucs: you should note that if you are using MyISAM tables, and your database was being written to in any way while you run mysqldump, the backup may not be complete [14:36] does anyone have an opinion on the 'proxmox ve' kvm/libvirt environment? [14:36] zul: ok :) [14:37] RoAkSoAx: i rather have more bugs fixed than one little bashim but we know about [14:37] SpamapS: how do I tell what type of tables are being used? [14:40] zul: indeed!

[14:56] SpamapS: what was it you said upstream was proposing as a solution? [14:56] i just want to read up a bit [14:58] hallyn: upstream is actively working on providing override files [14:59] hallyn: so /etc/init/libvirt.override [14:59] or libvirt-bin [14:59] hallyn: these would never be conffiles [15:00] hallyn: so if /etc/init/libvirt-bin.conf had env LIBVIRT_BIN_ARGS="-d" .. and the ovveride had env LIBVIRT_BIN_ARGS="-d --foo" .. the args are overriden to be -d --foo [15:00] Daviey: ping [15:00] i'm about half way through.. [15:00] do you seem to have some success? ^^ [15:01] SpamapS: and how do those files avoid the overhead of a stat?

[15:40] apw: yo [15:40] about this long filenamy thing for ecryptfs [15:41] it seems to me that the changes are going to be pretty big, and [15:41] if upstream don't expedite them we are unlikely to have working support [15:41] for natty ... [15:41] now as this is not a regression, but it does cause issues [15:41] we might want to be in a position to disable it by default in new installs [15:42] i was thinking of bringing this up for discussion at the release meeting ... what do you think [15:42] apw: hmm [15:42] my position is approximatly that we should prepare for the possibility that we want to turn it off [15:42] and decide at A3 [15:43] apw: so what do you need from upstream? commits of jjohansen's stuff to the ecryptfs branch? [15:43] apw: once the changes are agreed upon? [15:43] that would pre-supposed that his stuff was a fully featured solution and its not even that yet [15:43] so even if its perfect in say 3 weeks time, thats very close to the wire [15:44] apw: yeah, no kidding [15:44] apw: so i mean, worst case is that we keep chugging as we are, dropping errno 36 [15:44] apw: right? [15:44] (as i understand it we cna only have one long name pointing at a file in this solution currently etc) [15:44] no [15:44] right ... so the question is are we ok with the status quo, or should we disable it, if jjohansen's patches arn't ready [15:45] hey jjohansen you're with ius [15:45] just sat down [15:45] whats your feeling on whether they will be production ready by A3 ? [15:45] I think there is a good chance [15:45] I 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] apw: if his patches aren't ready, then they just don't make natty, and we keep chugging with long file name failurs [15:45] ok so i am just trying to work out if there is anything needed if that isn't true [15:46] ie there are 3 outcomes working support/status quo/turn off [15:46] and if 1 is not available do we continue with 2 or recommend 3 [15:46] kirkland, so you vote 2 i take it, i am abivalent i guess 2 is easier [15:47] jjohansen, any reaction to your patches from upstream? [15:47] apw: i've haven't seen the code so i don't know how easy it would be to "turn off" [15:48] apw: i think i understood jjohansen to be working on an option where those could be turned off at mount time [15:48] apw: which would be great [15:48] kirkland, i thought it was a mount option or something [15:48] apw: not yet, yes mount time option [15:48] jjohansen, ok so for 3) we need a patch for that as well ... as well as installer changes [15:49] so unless someone is pushing for 3) i am saying nothing :) [15:50] Please help!

[17:19] I'm using in fact a virtual server with openvz [17:20] does it look sane ? [17:20] or is it absolutely wrong to try wget/curl in config there. [17:20] smoser: well, that part is a little strange [17:20] smoser: but i get what you're doing [17:21] smoser: having sane timeouts is pretty essential [17:21] this may be obvious but I'm guessing a reboot is required after the reconfigure right, I just run it without any problems [17:21] ok. then i'm going with that. [17:21] thanks for review [17:26] kirkland: done!

No other idea offahnd then [18:42] argh.. I hate updating ssl certs [18:44] phsi: I'm not sure if plymouth still runs up to end of fsck [18:48] phsi: you might be able to use the "mounted" event for that [18:48] see mounted(7) [18:50] phsi: curious, whats the use case here?

[19:07] Which makes sense :p [19:08] can I force logrotate to run? [19:08] dumb question.. better question.. how?

What is it? A distro? [19:34] Roasted: a web based configuration tool which runs on top of ubuntu server [19:35] bencer, I see. I see something here regarding a subscription though. Is this application free? [19:35] is gpl [19:35] packages in universe are a bit old, just add the ppa and install it [19:35] bencer, nice. Is its only purpose to be a config tool for freeradius or does it have other uses? [19:35] https://launchpad.net/~zentyal [19:36] you can configure many many things [19:36] bencer, is this gizmo kind of like ebox? [19:36] zentyal is the new name of ebox [19:36] lol. no kidding?? [19:36] was renamed on september [19:36] sure [19:36] :) [19:36] I love ebox. [19:36] bencer, last question. you specified "ubuntu server" . it can run on ubuntu, right? [19:37] cause I'm running the desktop edition in this setup [19:37] sure [19:37] bencer, thank you for your time. [19:37] installer is based on server flavour installer, but that's it [19:37] no problem, enjoy [19:39] bencer, ehh bit of confusion here. [19:39] zentyal is coming down as an ISO... [19:40] zul: are you guys working in cobbler only or also in koan? [19:40] RoAkSoAx: cobbler mostly [19:40] you can download the installer, or install from ppa: http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Document/Documentation/InstallationGuide [19:40] zul: cause just found couple bugs in koan [19:40] zul: related to modules that do not exist in ubuntu [19:41] RoAkSoAx: sure file them away [19:41] zul: one is yum >P [19:41] RoAkSoAx: gah [19:42] zul: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/559669/ [19:42] zul: I don't want to enable the proxy module by default [19:42] zul: I think we could add a reminder in the cobbler check.. [19:42] zul: proxy is dangerous ;) [19:43] SpamapS: why is it dangerous? [19:43] RoAkSoAx: yeah koan is still very rh specific [19:43] zul: without checking their configuration, users may accidentally expose their network to abuse w/ proxy [19:44] Ive setup exim4 to use gmail to send messages from my server for alerts in Opsview-- any ideas on how to test it to make sure it is able to send an email? [19:44] Tophat: mail someaddress@somewhere.com [19:44] Tophat: then check /var/log/mail.log [19:45] SpamapS: so something like "httpd does not appear to be running and proxying cobbler...did you enable proxy_http" ? [19:46] zul: "right.. and a clear set of instructions in README.Debian [19:46] has anyone been able to netbook a KVM [19:46] ?

[20:36] using exim4 if that makes a difference [20:37] RoAkSoAx: sweet [20:37] RoAkSoAx: that should be enabled, then [20:39] kirkland: 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 names [20:41] Tophat: I'd probably instead send it to root with nagios: root in /etc/aliases [20:41] RoAkSoAx: hmm, okay [20:42] RoAkSoAx: okay, i'm going to shut down, pull my battery, and see if and how much powernap is saving on my laptop [20:43] genii-around thanks, will this work if its the nagios user thats sending the email? [20:44] Tophat: I'm not sure what the parent process is there [20:44] ( I don't use nagios ) [20:44] lucky you :P [20:57] kirkland, 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) [21:24] RoAkSoAx: oh, another thing ... [21:24] RoAkSoAx: i think we need a timestamp in front of "PowerNap will take the following action in [6] seconds: [/usr/sbin/powernap]" [21:25] RoAkSoAx: so that if you miss this message in real time, you know when it *was* delivered ;-) [21:30] kirkland: ok ;)... btw what do you think about making the InputMonitor only for mouse/keyboard as explained above? === PleXT is now known as PleXs [21:35] RoAkSoAx: i think that sounds better [21:36] kirkland: btw.. doesn't your logging show date/time like mine?? 2011-01-28_15:33:52 WARNING PowerNap will take the following action in [5] seconds: [/usr/sbin/powernap] [21:36] RoAkSoAx: i meant in the warn message [21:37] kirkland: oh ok lol!! >P [21:37] RoAkSoAx: ;-) [21:37] RoAkSoAx: the logging looks great [21:38] kirkland: yeah!! everything works very neatly!!
