[01:10] For anonymous FTP? [01:10] That would be in vsftpd's config file, or perhaps the vsftpd user's home [01:11] * RoyK needs to sleep soon - a techie getting here at nine in the morning to setup this 25Mbps symmetric link [01:19] kirkland: is there any reason not to remove debian/qemu-kvm-static* from qemu-kvm package?

[04:24] fair enough [04:24] lucid [04:24] hm same [04:24] strange [04:24] meah [04:24] cheers anyways [04:57] if my isp provides me with a static ip address on the WAN side of my internet connection, and also creats a subdomain under their TLD for me and mentions they created an MX record, does this mean that handling DNS queries is up to me via my own dns server if i can't resolve the provided subdomain name from other internet connections (university, netcafes, friends places, etc) ? [05:02] No. [05:03] did they just stuff up? [05:03] If they've made an mx to your IP it should resolve ;) [05:03] Give em a call buddy. Assuming you're using their DNS it should work instantly, another DNS then maybe let it propagate. [05:04] yeah from uni this week, i've been trying to resolve it with dig but it fails [05:04] Shouldn't take more than 48 hours to propagate across the root servers [05:05] Since I know you're very close anyway it's probably a typo or something on their behalf. [05:07] do you think they would let me have a wildcard subdomain ? *.myassignedname.them.net ? [05:10] WTF is a DNS RP record?

[10:12] alex88: GFS is a shared storage filesystem [10:12] a distributed fs isn't it? [10:12] alex88: you have to have a shared medium for it... so it *could* be distributed via iSCSI. [10:13] alex88: I think AFS, gluster, or CEPH are more akin to distributed filesystems [10:14] naa i'm thinking to have just multiple servers with a shared fs to access like a folder..

[10:18] SpamapS: ok i'll try that thank you :) [10:20] I am running karmic, so it appears 7.62-4ubuntu is the most recent, I am looking to get nginx-0.8.40 running. is there a fairly straightforward way to do this? [10:27] whalesalad: natty has 0.8.53 .. you might just try backporting it. [10:27] SpamapS: how does one go about that? [10:27] I ask because I've got a production server running that can't go down... so I need to basically be able to quickly install the latest nginx and see if it works, and then fall back to the old if something goes wrong [10:27] I know that isn't the best way to go about things, but it is my only option unfortunately [10:28] whalesalad: simplest way is to just install ubuntu-dev-tools and then run 'pull-debian-source nginx' [10:29] holy mother of god haha thats a lot of packages that will be installed [10:29] whalesalad: haha yeah [10:29] whalesalad: you can just do devscripts .. then you'll need to go find the package and use 'dget' [10:30] okay thanks a lot [10:30] I will be doing that this weekend [10:30] gotta run unfortunately, l8r [10:36] jamespage: re bug #727091 .. if its ready for a developer to work on it, and has been forwarded properly upstream.. thats Triaged, not Confirmed [10:36] Launchpad bug 727091 in mysql-dfsg-5.1 "Select on table with two colums cause empty result."

[18:00] Daviey: ah yeah! that;s what I was planning to do actually [18:00] RoAkSoAx, super! [18:01] Daviey: yeah :)! What I actually meant is that for now it sounds to just obviate that part of the code (or disable it) so we don't have abroken koan until things get fixed [18:02] Daviey: right now, koan launches successfully a Fedora image in KVM (but I think during installation error occurs), and I'm trying to look into doing so with an Ubuntu image, but there's an error with that install_tree thing I was asking zul earlier [18:02] anyways, just mentioning that to get that out of the way for now [18:03] but yeah i';m gonna bve working on get that fixed [18:04] RoAkSoAx, That is good...

[22:01] any idea why physmem= doesn't work? [22:01] ops - wrong channel [22:22] hallyn: awesome, so far things looks stable, huge improvement over spicec [22:22] How do I disable mysql's upstart script thingie? [22:23] hallyn: would be great if you'd look at improving "idle" cpu usage of kvm. For me, an idle win7 kvm process consumes 25% cpu (fans get loud n stuff) [22:42] New bug: #733561 in squid (main) "package squid 2.7.STABLE7-1ubuntu12.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/733561 [22:51] how is possible my hardisk run out of space [22:51] i did not installed nothing [22:51] => / is using 94.9% of 147.88GB [22:51] wtf can be used 147 gb for [22:52] nertil@Maverick:/$ ls [22:52] bin dev initrd.img lost+found opt sbin sys var [22:52] boot etc initrd.img.old media proc selinux tmp vmlinuz [22:52] cdrom home lib mnt root srv usr vmlinuz.old [23:00] anyone please? [23:03] donvit0: i would start running du -s on /tmp and /var to see what's eating the space [23:03] (and then the other directories as needed...) [23:09] let me check [23:09] but i didnt install nothing [23:10] sudo du -s /tmp [23:10] 32 /tmp [23:10] nertil@Maverick:/$ sudo du -s /var [23:10] 145616460 /var [23:11] ahs3 looks like /var eats the space [23:12] okay. then you'll have to dig into where in /var. cd /var; du -s * [23:12] i get to muych permision denied [23:12] can i pastebin to you please? [23:13] you'll have to use sudo [23:13] http://pastebin.com/1uD85wYR [23:13] i did [23:14] ah, i see. it'll be easier to cd /var, then sudo du -s * [23:14] 145023928 log [23:14] logs eats the space [23:15] how to clear all logs to normal [23:16] http://pastebin.com/BE9MWudD [23:16] i'd go into /var/log and look for the largest log first, then see what it says. you could have something misconfigured or broken and there's just tons of messages being generated [23:17] -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 3137658 2011-03-12 00:14 kern.log [23:17] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 580069 2011-02-28 04:26 dpkg.log.1 [23:17] -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 766074 2011-03-12 00:14 messages [23:17] -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 735070 2011-03-06 06:26 messages.1 [23:17] looks like this are with the most space [23:19] /var/logs has subdirectories, too. i suspect one of those is taking more space than the files listed [23:19] nertil@Maverick:/var$ cd logs [23:19] -bash: cd: logs: No such file or directory [23:19] cd /var/logs [23:20] -bash: cd: /var/logs: No such file or directory [23:20] its /var/log [23:20] whups. right [23:21] how to clear all machine logs? [23:21] also looks like apache logs [23:21] eats space [23:22] i'd look into those logs first. there's some sort of error that's causing messages to be generated and filling the logs [23:22] -rw-r----- 1 root adm 148489936432 2011-03-12 00:05 error.log [23:23] wooowww [23:23] in apache2 folder [23:23] to much logs [23:23] then, you can always use packages like logrotate to keep the space usage down, or worst case just remove them [23:23] let me install logrotate [23:23] okay, so tail that file [23:23] it should *not* be that big :) [23:24] how to configure [23:24] logrorate please [23:24] apt-get install logrotate [23:24] the default configuration should be fine [23:25] what if i clean now all logs folder [23:25] with rm -rf *] [23:25] with rm -rf * [23:25] I do :) [23:26] i would just get rid of the big one first [23:27] kim0: can you reproduce that with a linux guest? [23:27] didn't try that [23:27] or win 2003? [23:28] hallyn: which one should I try :) [23:28] well a lucid guest woudl be best [23:28] else i'll just have to try and find my m$ reg [23:33] is there an easy way to install kernel 2.6.37 in ubuntu server? [23:41] Aison: which version of ubuntu server you running? [23:41] 10.04? 10.10? [23:45] 10.10 [23:45] I think I found a solution by just taking it from lucid kernel ppd? [23:45] ppa [23:50] ok, 2.6.37-12 is running [23:50] now I need linux-tools-2.6.37 :P [23:53] um... [23:53] okay...
