[00:13] <isnoop> Hey all.  I'm trying to auto-mount some partitions but modifying my fstab file makes the box fail to boot.  I've tested with mount -a and that works great.
[00:14] <isnoop> Here's my fstab: http://pastebin.com/JaxG51t2
[00:16] <isnoop> I'm running this in EC2, so I can take my root partition and mount it in another instance to fix it.
[00:44] <smoser> hggdh, it is not.
[00:45] <smoser> hggdh, i will try to get those hardy images uploaded tomorrow, but it might be monday
[02:55] <intel352> hey guys, i have 2 servers, both ubuntu 10.10, both running nginx from apt. on both, i have chrooted users that host nginx vhosts from their chrooted environments. one server, the jail is in /home/jail, the other it's just /jail. Nginx (as www-data) can access /home & /home/jail with no problem (and serves up files properly), but the other server, Nginx (as www-data) cannot access /jail or subdirs... Any thoughts why? /ho
[02:55] <intel352> me, /home/jail, /jail are all owned by root, same chmod on each as well...
[03:01] <intel352> fixed it, cheers
[03:41] <binaryhat> kvm seems to be shutting off my server when i am using a virtual connection
[03:49] <Mark___> Hey, i need help configuring bind on my VPS, I have gotten the rest of the server set up, i really just need to attach a domain to dit.
[03:53] <Mark___> Can anyone help me with the above mentioned question?
[05:17] <Yanksrule> !ops
[05:17] <Yanksrule> i am gangsta
[05:56] <no-name-> hi. I am using ubuntu-server with icewm and fluxbox and I would like to use it without a display manager but when I don't use a display manager I get no sound while when I do use one (xdm in this case) I do... anybody know how to get sound working without one?
[06:28] <sunit_> Can anybody tell me Ubuntu 10.04 LTS certified hardware with RAID configuration ?
[06:54] <hvnsweeting> I followed tut on FCM build the perfect server with u9.10, after installed squirrelmail, how to access it? there isn't firefox on Ubuntu Server. (I install Ubuntu server on Virtual Machine) tks!
[10:04] <tejas> q
[10:04] <tejas> bye
[10:04] <tejas> quit

[11:22] <Odaym> hello
[11:22] <Odaym> is it common to use Ubuntu Server on servers?
[11:22] <Odaym> just as reliable and solid as the next RedHat?
[11:22] <Odaym> or CentOS for example?
[11:23] <greppy> Yes, it is common.
[11:23] <greppy> Yes it is stable.
[11:23] <binBASH> And no it's not Red Hat
[11:24] <Odaym> yes of course it's not
[11:24] <binBASH> But I can tell you
[11:24] <binBASH> I switched after 10 years Red Hat to Ubuntu Server
[11:24] <Odaym> but i mean me as a not-so-knowledgeable enduser..i get the impression that RedHat is the only reliable and most powerful server out there
[11:24] <binBASH> and I'm quite happy I did that switch
[11:25] <lenios> the main difference is ubuntu does not include professional support
[11:25] <lenios> (i mean, paid support)
[11:25] <greppy> I've been using LTS releases as servers for quite a while now, works fine.
[11:25] <Odaym> but there's the forums
[11:25] <Odaym> which i depend entirely on for whatever i come across on Ubuntu
[11:26] <lenios> you'll find support, you'll just don't have official hotline
[11:26] <Odaym> ok
[11:27] <Odaym> i was at a conference about ubuntu for some friends of mine, and i didnt take the CD for the server
[11:27] <Odaym> but now that i need one, RedHat needs money and a lifetime to make it function...CentOS' netinstall is not burning on the CD properly..
[11:29] <lenios> don't you have usb key?
[11:29] <Odaym> i do
[11:30] <Odaym> i can just move it to the usb and launch from there with CentOS?
[11:30] <Odaym> doesnt it need to be identified that X was copied here as an image?
[11:31] <lenios> i can't tell you about centos, but you can put the ubuntu server iso on a usb key
[11:31] <Odaym> just place it tehre
[11:31] <Odaym> really
[11:31] <Odaym> not like...WUBI?
[11:31] <Odaym> or something like that?
[11:33] <lenios> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[11:34] <lenios> you can put the iso file on the usb key, and install grub2 on the usb key to boot it
[11:34] <Odaym> noo now its getting complicated
[11:34] <Odaym> haha
[11:34] <Odaym> ok ok
[11:34] <Odaym> do i need to worry if Meerkat is as good as other releases when it comes to the Server line?
[11:35] <lenios> it's as good as others
[11:35] <Odaym> can you tell me the command that will let me know if i am on a 64 or 32-bit machine?
[11:35] <lenios> but you won't get support and updates for 5 years as with lucid
[11:36] <lenios> uname -a
[11:36] <Odaym> Linux Hive696 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:48 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
[11:36] <Odaym> i686
[11:38] <greppy> I personally use the LTS releases for servers, but you are free to go with the others :)
[11:39] <Odaym> but i686 is 32?
[11:39] <greppy> yes
[11:39] <lenios> there's also read -a infos < <(grep bits  <(lshw -C processor 2>/dev/null)) && { (( ${infos[1]} == 64 )) && echo "64 bits ready" || echo "not compatible 64 bits."; }
[11:39] <Odaym> a script to nail it, then
[11:39] <lenios> to get the information from the processor
[11:40] <Odaym> it says 64 bits ready
[11:40] <lenios> then you are running a 32 kernel on a 64 bits ready processor
[11:40] <Odaym> i see, so only my OS is 32
[11:40] <Odaym> but my machine is 64
[11:41] <lenios> yes
[11:41] <Odaym> am i losing some of my processor power because of this?
[11:41] <lenios> it depends
[11:41] <Odaym> i mean in order to take advantage of the processor's potential, should it be running a 64 OS?
[11:41] <lenios> you should yes
[11:41] <Odaym> ok
[11:42] <Odaym> and changing to the same Meerkat but on 64..this is not done through an Upgrade process?
[11:42] <Odaym> have to format entirely?
[11:42] <greppy> yes
[11:42] <greppy> it's a big change to go from 32 to 64 bit packages and kernel.
[11:42] <Odaym> but it can be done without changing any core data?
[11:42] <Odaym> my files, etc...
[11:45] <greppy> if /home is on a seperate partition, yes.
[11:45] <greppy> otherwise it's a total format.
[11:45] <Odaym> and i find that out through....free?
[11:45] <Odaym> df?
[11:46] <greppy> yeah
[11:46] <Odaym> nope, not on a separate partition
[11:46] <Odaym> FLARN!
[11:46] <Odaym> ok
[11:46] <greppy> then back stuff up first :)
[11:46] <Odaym> yep
[11:46] <lenios> you don't need to reformat
[11:46] <Odaym> like usual
[11:46] <Odaym> what then?
[11:46] <lenios> just install over the old installation
[11:47] <greppy> ah
[11:47] <lenios> without formatting the partition
[11:47] <Odaym> i will back up and try that
[11:47] <greppy> true, I'd still backup, just in case :)
[11:47] <Odaym> there is always an option to Upgrade from the installer, yea?
[11:47] <lenios> installation will warn you if you didn't backup :)
[11:47] <greppy> and if you want to make a /home partition so you don't have to worry about it in the future, that may not be a bad idea.
[11:47] <lenios> you don't want to upgrade, you want to install
[11:48] <Odaym> yes but that will give it the impression that it's a fresh copy..
[11:48] <lenios> upgrade is when you're coming from an old version
[11:49] <lenios> and you'll end up with something like a fresh copy
[11:50] <Odaym> so if i need to run a Ubuntu server, with 2 ubuntu clients, all connected to a switch
[11:50] <Odaym> and i want to be able to access them all, i will be able to through "smb:///etc..."
[11:50] <Odaym> ?
[11:50] <greppy> Odaym: if you install samba, yes.
[11:51] <greppy> well, install and configure. :)
[11:51] <Odaym> ok
[11:51] <lenios> you only want samba access?
[11:51] <RoyK> Odaym: with all ubuntu, nfs might be a better idea
[11:51] <Odaym> i dont know, i want to be able to BE the server
[11:51] <Odaym> like having a Domain on Windows
[11:52] <RoyK> NIS is the old way, LDAP the new
[11:52] <RoyK> we're still using NIS at work for historical reasons :P
[11:52] <RoyK> NIS is rather ancient, though
[11:52] <lenios> what's the use of the domain?
[11:54] <Odaym> just to try it out
[11:54] <Odaym> it's a home network
[11:54] <RoyK> if it's just a user database, it's no problem. if you want roaming profiles, that's just common mounts of homedirs.
[11:54] <lenios> do you need more than ssh?
[11:55] <RoyK> Odaym: read up on NFS first - you don't want SMB mounts in a unix network, really
[11:55] <RoyK> NFS is native to unix
[11:55] <lenios> https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/network-file-system.html
[11:56] <lenios> pretty old, sorry
[11:56] <lenios> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/network-file-system.html
[11:56] <Odaym> ok
[11:56] <Odaym> thank you
[11:56] <lenios> page didn't change that much in 4 years though
[12:05] <RoyK> if not using nfs4, nothing much has changed :P
[12:05] <RoyK> !nfs
[12:06] <Odaym> watching a lion getting dissected on natgeo
[12:06] <Odaym> haha
[12:07] <RoyK> hm... massive protests in Algeria - perhaps they're next?
[12:07] <Odaym> really :)
[12:07] <Odaym> power to the people man
[12:09] <RoyK> let's just hope that'll be it - we haven't seen the end of this in neither Tunisia nor Egypt...
[12:09] <Odaym> sure we have
[12:09] <Odaym> Tunisia is forming a ministry
[12:09] <Odaym> a new government
[12:09] <RoyK> nope - none of them have a new government yet
[12:10] <RoyK> we don't know how that will work
[12:10] <Odaym> not yet
[12:10] <Odaym> but it's a long process
[12:10] <RoyK> we'll know in a year or so
[12:10] <Odaym> even here in Lebanon
[12:10] <lenios> as much as i like to read about it
[12:10] <lenios> !ot
[12:10] <Odaym> we dont have a fully formed government yet since we booted out the others
[12:10] <Odaym> sorry lenios
[12:10] <RoyK> :)
[12:11]  * RoyK is sorry for having gotten OT, but what's happened in Egypt is interesting...
[12:11] <lenios> it sure is, it's just OT
[12:11]  * RoyK joined the OT channel :P
[12:19] <floown> hello
[12:20] <floown> for migrate a Jaunty server to the last LTS, what should I do, please?
[12:20] <RoyK> !jaunty
[12:20] <floown> thx
[12:21] <floown> !upgrade
[12:21] <RoyK> floown: just run do-release-upgrade to take it to 9.10, then again to take it to 10.04
[12:21] <floown> RoyK: ok, in two times ?
[12:21] <RoyK> yeah, you can only upgrade one step at a time
[12:22] <RoyK> except for LTS, which can be done from one LTS to the next
[12:22] <floown> ok, thx a lot
[12:22] <floown> RoyK: I have save my /etc  my /home and /var, what can I save too ?
[12:23] <RoyK> so once on 10.04, /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades will be set to prompt=lts, and it won't allow upgrading to 10.10 unless you change that to 'normal'
[12:24] <floown> ok
[12:24] <RoyK> floown: just backup your data - normally it won't be needed - it'll just work - but then, you never know...
[12:25] <RoyK> btw, I'm not sure if /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades is updated automatically... better check
[12:25] <RoyK> set it to lts if that's what you want
[12:25] <floown> ok, I do a backup for my database too, I have no recent backups
[12:31] <RoyK> floown: just dump it - mysqldump/pg_dump
[13:05] <sabgenton> any one with isuse for 10.10?
[13:05] <sabgenton> 10.04 has given me wifi isuses so far
[13:06] <sabgenton> I am hoping the hirer kernel number of 10.10 will help
[13:06] <sabgenton> or should I hope that the new .2 point release will help me here
[13:12] <RoyK> RTFM! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFAWR6hzZek
[13:16] <sabgenton> heh
[13:16] <sabgenton> funney
[13:18] <RoyK> sabgenton: what sort of wifi issues do you have?
[13:18] <RoyK> and have you tried updating to 10.04.2?
[13:18] <nimrod10> RoyK, lol @RTFM, brilliant youtube video
[13:19] <RoyK> nimrod10: it was created to this javazone thing in norway some years back :)
[13:19] <RoyK> they have a few others that are quite good...
[13:21] <sabgenton> RoyK: well basicly if I restart the computer nat or routing etc goes down untill I set the card in to promiscusumode
[13:22] <sabgenton> and I can turn it off after that
[13:22] <sabgenton> promic
[13:22] <RoyK> wierd
[13:22] <sabgenton> it's really weird I have tried all sorts of networking combanations
[13:22] <RoyK> dunno - sorry - try 10.04.2 - it's just an apt-get dist-upgrade away
[13:22] <sabgenton> restart allways screws it up
[13:23] <sabgenton> hmm ok
[13:23] <sabgenton> RoyK: interesting I didn't know it was out
[13:23] <RoyK> :)
[13:24] <sabgenton> havent seen iso's
[13:24] <RoyK> well, it's in the repos
[13:24] <sabgenton> is it not on disc yet?
[13:24] <RoyK> http://pastebin.com/MyJ2y0gh
[13:24] <RoyK> sabgenton: no need for that, is it?
[13:25] <RoyK> I just install from some lucid cd and update
[13:26] <sabgenton> allso I knowtice uname -r returns -generic at the end
[13:26] <sabgenton> not -server
[13:26] <sabgenton> I installed form usb
[13:26] <sabgenton> not cd
[13:27] <RoyK> sabgenton: apt-get install linux-server
[13:27] <RoyK> sabgenton: the difference isn't a lot - just some scheduling / Hz settings
[13:28] <RoyK> I'd guess for 90% of servers installed, you won't notice any difference
[13:28] <sabgenton> RoyK: why did I end up with -generic?
[13:28] <RoyK> no idea
[13:28] <sabgenton> mabye the usb install method is buggey?
[13:29] <RoyK> not really
[13:29] <RoyK> it's just a boot medium
[13:30] <RoyK> just install whatever kernel you need
[13:30] <RoyK> again, it doesn't matter much
[13:30] <RoyK> it's the same version
[13:30] <RoyK> it's just built with a few different flags
[13:31] <RoyK> sabgenton: what version are you running?
[13:31] <RoyK> seems 2.6.35 is in the repos
[13:32] <RoyK> also, there are some packages named like linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless
[13:33] <sabgenton> RoyK: how much data will be downloaded in a dist-upgrade
[13:33] <sabgenton> just a fussy guess
[13:33] <sabgenton> I'm on .0
[13:33] <sabgenton> not that it says .0
[13:35] <RoyK> sabgenton: it'll tell you
[13:35] <Guinness2702> how do I stop 10.04 server from loading the graphical ubuntu logo (usplash or plymouth?) at boot.  I normally run it headless, but when I plug a monitor in, the display corrupts when the graphical screen comes up.  What's worse is it's displaying some error (probably disk check required after I killed the power), but I can't see what the error is or how to resolve it :(
[13:36] <RoyK> btw, 10.04.2 doesn't come with a new kernel IIRC
[13:36] <RoyK> sabgenton: which kernel are you using now?
[13:36] <Guinness2702> ...or for that matter, just change the video mode to something else which works?
[13:37] <sabgenton> 2.6.32-25-generic
[13:37] <sabgenton> yeah mabye I should just go 10.10
[13:37] <sabgenton> how less stable is it I spose
[13:37] <RoyK> sabgenton: just install 2.6.35
[13:37] <RoyK> it's in the repositories
[13:37] <sabgenton> now theres a nice .2 release of LTS
[13:38] <sabgenton> ok
[13:38] <RoyK> sabgenton: apt-get dist-upgrade first
[13:38] <RoyK> then look for 2.6.35
[13:38] <RoyK> install it
[13:38] <RoyK> reboot
[13:38] <RoyK> try again
[13:38] <sabgenton> thats not suported is it
[13:38] <sabgenton> 35 on LTS
[13:38] <RoyK> it certainly is
[13:38] <RoyK> since it's in the default repository
[13:38] <RoyK> linux-image-2.6.35-23-server - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.35 on x86_64
[13:39] <sabgenton> do i just apt-get install linux-server
[13:39] <RoyK> apt-get install linux-image-2.6.35-23-server
[13:39] <sabgenton> or do I have to specify
[13:39] <RoyK> I'd guess linux-server will use the old 2.6.35
[13:39] <RoyK> 32
[13:39] <RoyK> not 35
[13:39] <sabgenton> ok
[13:39]  * patdk-lap can't wait for 2.6.38
[13:40] <RoyK> but please update to 10.04.2 first
[13:40] <sabgenton> intereesting will .2 iso come with  35
[13:40] <RoyK> patdk-wk: what's new in there?
[13:40] <patdk-lap> some ipv6 support
[13:40] <sabgenton> or will it still start out on 32 by defualt
[13:40] <RoyK> sabgenton: doubt it - I guess they stick to .32
[13:40] <patdk-lap> using ra/rs with ipv6 forwarding enabled
[13:40] <RoyK> .35 is there if you need it
[13:41] <sabgenton> and suported
[13:41] <sabgenton> yay
[13:41] <RoyK> patdk-wk: I thought most of ipv6 was supported years ago :P
[13:41] <patdk-lap> yes
[13:41] <RoyK> what is ra/rs?
[13:41] <patdk-lap> but if you enable forwarding, it EXPLICITALLY disables, and turns off ra/rs
[13:41]  * RoyK isn't very literate in the ipv6 world
[13:41] <sabgenton> RoyK: is that the same kernel package that 10.10 uses?
[13:41] <patdk-lap> route advertisement, router solicitation
[13:41] <RoyK> ok
[13:41] <RoyK> sabgenton: no idea
[13:42] <sabgenton> I'm probably sounding naive
[13:42] <RoyK> sabgenton: just try the new kernel - if it doesn't do what you want, well, go back to the old one
[13:42] <patdk-lap> bsically, if you turn on forwarding, you MUST use static ip's and static routes
[13:42] <sabgenton> well 10.10 has that kernel I mean
[13:42] <sabgenton> I think
[13:42] <RoyK> 10.10 has 2.6.35
[13:43] <RoyK> but just upgrade the kernel
[13:43] <RoyK> no reason to do a full upgrade
[13:43] <sabgenton> yeah
[13:43] <RoyK> LTS is far better for servers than non-LTS
[13:43] <sabgenton> but upgrade to .2
[13:43] <sabgenton> y?
[13:43] <RoyK> sabgenton: yes - apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
[13:44] <RoyK> or perhaps install 2.6.35 before rebooting
[13:44] <sabgenton> RoyK: what key reason do u see LTS as better
[13:44] <sabgenton> just suport
[13:45] <RoyK> sabgenton: it's far better supported - focus is on stability, not fancy features
[13:46] <sabgenton> suport I don't really need but stability ..
[13:46] <sabgenton> but then wifi dies anyway ..
[13:46] <sabgenton> heh
[13:46] <sabgenton> ok will try all of the above
[13:47] <RoyK> sabgenton: apt-get update && apt-get install linux-image-2.6.35-23-server && apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
[13:47] <RoyK> that's your one-liner
[13:47] <sabgenton> it's funey I don't see isos out onthe main download page
[13:47] <sabgenton> if you click download it still gives u .1
[13:48] <sabgenton> u missed out the infamous sudo
[13:48] <sabgenton> :P
[14:00] <RoyK> sabgenton: I was expecting you to be sudo -i'd in :P
[14:01] <sabgenton> or sudo bash -c 'it'
[14:23] <aliverius> i am building a print (among others) server with ubuntu
[14:24] <aliverius> the system sees the printer and can print to it and all that is done from my desktop which can connect to the server to administer
[14:25] <aliverius> now what i need is to make my desktop print through the server
[14:26] <aliverius> Q: can i setup my server in a way that any client will discover the network printer?
[14:36] <dlarmeir> ping google.com
[15:41] <Odaym> i type "samba" and i get the following The program 'samba' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:sudo apt-get install samba4
[15:41] <Odaym> but when i type "apt-cache policy samba" i getsamba:
[15:41] <Odaym>   Installed: 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.2
[15:41] <Odaym>   Candidate: 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.2
[15:42] <Odaym> is it installed or not? :o
[16:08] <smoser> zul, around ?
[16:38] <binaryhat> When I connect to my Virtual O/S (Windows 7) on my Ubuntu 10.10 server, the server completely looses power, hence turns off without warning
[16:48] <qman__> Odaym, in samba 3, the program names are smbd and nmbd
[16:48] <qman__> so, even though samba 3 is installed, there is no 'samba' command
[16:49] <Odaym> oh
[16:49] <Odaym> alright
[16:49] <Odaym> so i DO have it?
[16:49] <qman__> probably
[16:49] <qman__> test with something like `sudo service smbd status`
[16:50] <Odaym> running
[16:50] <Odaym> :0
[16:50] <Odaym> :)
[16:50] <binaryhat> When I connect to my Virtual O/S (Windows 7) on my Ubuntu 10.10 server, the server completely looses power, hence turns off without warning
[16:50] <binaryhat> im using kvm
[16:50] <qman__> that's pretty strange
[16:51] <qman__> sure your power supply is ok/powerful enough?
[16:51] <binaryhat> 450w
[16:51] <binaryhat> it has happened 3x
[16:51] <qman__> what kind of hardware?
[16:52] <binaryhat> asus mobo, amd cpu, 8gb ram
[16:52] <qman__> also, you could use something like stress to determine if it's a kvm-specific issue or a load-related issue
[16:52] <binaryhat> brb
[16:52] <binaryhat> stress?
[16:53] <qman__> yes
[16:53] <qman__> it's a program that puts various loads on your machine for testing purposes
[16:53] <binaryhat> not familiar w/ it
[16:53] <qman__> e.g. `stress --cpu 8 --vm 8` starts 8 CPU-stressing threads and 8 memory-stressing threads
[16:54] <binaryhat> ok
[16:54] <binaryhat> ill chec it out
[16:54] <binaryhat> bbl
[17:23] <binaryhat> qman__, u there?
[17:26] <binaryhat> qman__, i did stress --cpu 8 --vm 8 and my server completely shutt off
[17:42] <Odaym> so guys, "scp oday@Hive696:~/file1 ~/Music/" is copying file1 back to the same machine but in the Music directory
[17:42] <Odaym> how do i copy from the machine that i'm connected to, to the machine that i am connecting from?
[17:44] <thesheff17> Odaym: you can do scp root@server:~/bla/bla . the dot means pull to current dir.
[17:44] <binaryhat> i did stress --cpu 8 --vm 8 and my server completely shutt off
[17:45] <Odaym> no thesheff17, that copied the file back to the same machine
[17:45] <binaryhat> what gives?
[17:45] <thesheff17> Odaym: do you want to push or pull? maybe I'm confused on what you mean.
[17:46] <Odaym> i am in an SSH connection from my server, i am connected to my client
[17:46] <Odaym> i want to copy files from the client to the server
[17:51] <Odaym> qman__
[17:51] <Odaym> any idea?
[17:51] <thesheff17> Odaym: to push files it would just be scp -r ~/files/ root@server:~/files/
[17:53] <Odaym> ok thank you thesheff17
[17:53] <Odaym> :)
[17:53] <Odaym> and what about directories?
[17:54] <zul> smoser: whats up?
[17:54] <smoser> jjohansen above posted links to haryd kernel debs
[17:54] <smoser> but there was no linux-modules in the list
[17:54] <thesheff17> Odaym: scp -r will be recursive
[17:54] <Odaym> ah ok
[17:54] <smoser> do you know if he had source ? coudl we ppa build ?
[17:54] <Odaym> so without -r, i can use it only for singular files
[17:55] <thesheff17> Odaym: yea you could use * so scp ~/files/* root@server:~/files/
[17:55] <thesheff17> that will just do files
[17:55] <Odaym> aah true
[17:55] <Odaym> true
[17:56] <Odaym> let's say i am on SSH with my client
[17:56] <Odaym> and i want to display a dialog box
[17:56] <Odaym> on the screen of that machine
[17:56] <Odaym> is there a default dialog box i can use?
[17:56] <Odaym> not having to write java GUI i mean..
[17:59] <thesheff17> Odaym: what do you mean default dialog box?
[18:00] <thesheff17> it sounds like you want to remote control through vnc or freeNX https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[18:13] <binaryhat> i did stress --cpu 8 --vm 8 and my server completely shuts off.  any ideas?
[18:16] <thesheff17> binaryhat: anything in the logs? sounds like a hardware issue.
[18:17] <binaryhat> everytime it shuts off im not sure if anything is logged
[18:19] <thesheff17> binaryhat: maybe the power supply is faulty...not delivering enough power under load...is the machine fine when just idle?
[18:19] <binaryhat> yes
[18:20] <thesheff17> what kind of machine? server? can you check the bios or LILO card to make sure all the hardware is working correctly.
[18:20] <binaryhat> the only resource intense thing i do is virtualization
[18:21] <thesheff17> maybe do a mem test or hd test may help to start to rule out devices.
[18:22] <binaryhat> server yes, home built newegg parts
[18:24] <binaryhat> bios is fine
[18:24] <thesheff17> binaryhat: I would start with the power supply or testing hardware with software from the manufacturer.
[18:25] <binaryhat> its not fancy hardware
[18:26] <binaryhat> http://www.stresslinux.org/sl/
[18:28] <binaryhat> thesheff17, how should i test the psu?
[18:30] <thesheff17> binaryhat: do you have another one to try?  If the machine powers off with a new one you know it isn't the power supply...this is one advantage to having a server bought from a specific company...usually there is allot more in site into failed hardware when it comes from hp, dell, etc.
[18:30] <thesheff17> I don't know any way to specifically to test the power supply.
[18:31] <binaryhat> hmm
[18:32] <binaryhat> i dont think its the psu....maybe memory
[18:32] <thesheff17> try memtest on the ubuntu cd
[18:32] <binaryhat> ok
[18:34] <binaryhat> the pc is only 30 days old
[18:39] <qman__> binaryhat, that means your power supply is insufficient to power your computer under full load
[18:39] <qman__> it's either not powerful enough or going bad
[18:39] <qman__> Odaym, scp works like cp, source then destination
[18:40] <qman__> scp user@sourcehost:/path/file user@destinationhost:/path/file
[18:41] <binaryhat> my server completely shutoff during memtest!!!
[18:41] <qman__> then the power supply is most likely bad
[18:41] <binaryhat> arrrggh
[18:41] <qman__> freezing would indicate bad memory
[18:41] <qman__> but powering off is usually the power supply
[18:42] <binaryhat> 450w thermaltak
[18:42] <binaryhat> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153138
[18:43] <binaryhat> thats what i have
[18:43] <binaryhat> barely 30 days
[18:44] <binaryhat> suggestions on a psu?
[18:45] <Odaym> haha
[18:45] <binBASH> did you tell already what hardware you have? ;)
[18:45] <Odaym> i tried to run a GUI java program while on an SSH client
[18:45] <Odaym> wanted it to pop up there on that machine
[18:45] <Odaym> says it cant
[18:45] <Odaym>  no X11
[18:45] <Odaym> how do i ..fix this
[18:45] <Odaym> install X11 there? im sure it already has X11
[18:46] <binaryhat> qman__, suggestions for a new psu
[18:47] <qman__> binaryhat, it depends on what equipment you have, what your CPU is rated at, number of hard drives, etc
[18:47] <binBASH> Odaym: ssh -X
[18:47] <Odaym> doesnt work
[18:47] <Odaym> says wrong parameter
[18:47] <qman__> for a basic system, dual core, one drive, that's big enough and it's probably just bad
[18:47] <qman__> but for a six-core with multiple drives, that's pushing it
[18:47] <binaryhat> qman__, https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=16522027
[18:48] <qman__> says it's empty
[18:48] <binaryhat> oops
[18:48] <qman__> I buy budget power supplies based on customer ratings
[18:49] <qman__> hundreds of five-star ratings is usually good
[18:49] <qman__> for must-work builds, I get seasonic
[18:49] <binaryhat> i have 5 hdds sata...
[18:50] <binaryhat> 4 as raid
[18:51] <qman__> what CPU?
[18:51] <qman__> also, do you have a discrete graphics card?
[18:51] <binaryhat> qman__, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103687
[18:52] <binaryhat> no http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131668
[18:52] <qman__> without discrete graphics, 450w should be enough for that
[18:52] <qman__> I'd try and return it on warranty
[18:52] <qman__> oh, one more thing
[18:52] <qman__> make sure your power button isn't faulty
[18:52] <qman__> sometimes that happens
[18:53] <binBASH> hdds should consome max. 160W
[18:53] <qman__> turn on the computer, then disconnect the power button and see if it still shuts off
[18:53] <binBASH> consume
[18:53] <qman__> power supplies typically run optimal at 50% load
[18:54] <qman__> so that's about right for your build
[18:58] <binaryhat> power button isnt faulty im sure
[18:59] <qman__> then the most likely case is the power supply is just bad, it happens
[18:59] <qman__> I'd try swapping one from another computer to test
[18:59] <qman__> it could also be a very specific problem with the motherboard
[18:59] <binaryhat> i dont have a spare psu
[19:00] <qman__> well, odds are about 20:1 power supply
[19:01] <qman__> I'd return it
[19:01] <qman__> get a replacement
[19:01] <binaryhat> if i disconnect the power button  and  it still shuts off...means what?
[19:01] <qman__> means that it isn't the power button
[19:04] <binaryhat> and its the psu
[20:37] <soren> smoser: The SIGPIPE thing is fixed now. I ended up fixing it in Plymouth. It'll be in the UEC images tonight.
[20:38] <soren> smoser: plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu16 is the thing to look for.
[22:06] <Adman65> how can I find out what directories are taking up the most space on my server?
[22:37] <avis-> has anyone here used webfs httpd daemon ?
[22:53] <lenios> avis-, why would you want to use webfs?
[23:17] <Code_Bleu> Im trying to pxe install JeOS 10.10 and i get to the part to choose my archive and when i do, i get the following error: mirror does not support specified release (maverick).  Can someone help me figure out why this is happening?
[23:17] <lenios> Code_Bleu, change the mirror?
[23:18] <Code_Bleu> ive tried
[23:20] <Code_Bleu> is there an alternative CD for server (JeOS) ?
[23:22] <Code_Bleu> i tried doing the local http method and it still errors out.  I copied the server iso to my /var/www/<web dir> and have that in my ks.cfg file, but i still get an error that the mirror does not support specified release (maverick)
[23:38] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: ping?
