kaushalMy Server Disk space is 100 % Full, whats the easiest way to find out which directory has consumed space ?00:46
kaushalI do cd / and du -hsc *00:46

kaushalpmatulis: Any better suggestion ?01:23
SinnerNyxTrying to disable screen blanking in ubuntu server 11.0401:24
pmatuliskaushal: try again - sudo du -sh /*01:31
pmatulisSinnerNyx: screen blanking?  is that like cow tipping?01:31
SinnerNyxlol01:32
SinnerNyxpmatulis: no01:32
kaushalpmatulis: ok01:32
SinnerNyxpmatulis: its that thing where the screen turns black after 5 minutes or so of inactivity01:32
SinnerNyxpmatulis: dunno if thats the official term but google turned that up a few times01:33
pmatulisSinnerNyx: purely a natty phenomenon?01:33
SinnerNyxpmatulis: Not at all. I figured out how to fix this in 10.10, but I don't remember exactly where. Now I'm doing a clean install and it happens again, so I'm trying to fix it01:34
SinnerNyxpmatulis: Actually I think I solved it :S. Only issue is where can I place a 'setterm' command on system start up, instead of on login?01:35
pmatulisSinnerNyx: upstart job i would imagine01:36
SinnerNyxpmatulis: sorry.. still a newb. How would I do that?01:36
SinnerNyxpmatulis: I just did 'man upstart'01:37
SinnerNyxpmatulis: lemme try to figure this out, and I'll get back to you if I need help01:38

sorenkirkland: Oh, that.15:43
sorenkirkland: Um.. Let me just read your blueprint real quick.15:44
sorenOh, no blueprint.15:45
sorenkirkland: Well, at the session at the maverick UDS (wow, has it been that long) we sort of decided it would be at least an interesting experiment. I was going to have a way to tell dpkg to use something other than its internal conffile handling for a particular conffile.15:47
sorenkirkland: That "something" could be ucf, puppet, chef, or /bin/true or whatever you want.15:47
sorenkirkland: mvo was there and he though it sounded like a fine idea. I just never really got around to actually implementing it.15:48
Davieysoren: did you document the session outcome anywhere?15:49
sorenDaviey: I suppose it's possible.15:50
Davieysoren: UDS Maverick was Belgium, right?15:50
sorenDaviey: Yup.15:50
sorenIt's at least as possible that I left the notes in Gobby and never got around to putting them elsewhere. Belgium has a lot of strong beer, you know.15:51
Davieysoren: I know too well. :(15:51
sorenThere should be a big warning label on the country.15:51

RoyKruben23: sure, what your problem?16:55
ruben23 RoyK: i created VM guest- no success on assigning bridges and my guest i can reach it from my host16:57
RoyKhave you setup bridging in /etc/network/interfaces ?16:57
ruben23RoyK: i dot know if its correct or not- i want to start from the first step16:58
RoyKpastebin the output of 'ifconfig'16:58
ruben23how do i do bridge on the interface- i got one ethernet card only16:58
RoyKruben23: you create a bridge, typically br0, that bridges traffic from VMs to your physical nic, typically eth016:59
ruben23http://pastebin.com/F83VcF1r17:01
RoyKlooks right17:02
ruben23ok whast next..? step..17:04
RoyKpastebin ifconfig output17:04
ruben23ok just a minute17:05
ruben23 RoyK:--->http://pastebin.com/zfq5NEaj17:11
RoyKlooks good as well17:14
RoyKruben23: how did you try to make the vm?17:14
RoyKvirt-manager?17:14
ruben23im following this, but i want to start aghain back, becasue its pretty missed up---> http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-10.1017:15
RoyKruben23: do you have X on the server or X on the client?17:16
RoyKif so, using virt-manager may be easier17:17
ruben23how do i check it..?17:17
RoyKwhat sort of client are you using?17:17
ruben23im using host ubuntu server 10.10 - terminal only no gui17:17
RoyKis client windows?17:17
ruben23RoyK: client means..?17:18
ruben23the VM guest..?17:18
RoyKno, your pc17:18
ruben23im using windows 7 im ssh to my host server ubuntu-server 10.1017:18
RoyKtry installing xming on windows, and you should be able to run remote X sessions17:19
RoyKthat way, you can use the virt-manager gui, which is trivial17:19
ruben23ok ill do it now just a second17:20
ruben23RoyK: done installing xming17:22
uvirtbot`New bug: #774242 in samba (main) "package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 failed to install/upgrade: problemas de dependência - deixando desconfigurado" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/77424217:26
RoyKruben23: with xming in place, you should be able to configure putty to forward X11 traffic, and that way, you should be able to run X11 apps on the server and get the GUI on your desktop17:27
RoyKor PC if you like17:27
ruben23ok how would that be done17:28
ruben23ill google17:28
serge_nealmcb: thanks17:29
nealmcbserge_: :)17:29
serge_nealmcb: i'd best store that bug#, maybe i'll take it on monday17:29
serge_nealmcb: unless you know what the prob is17:29
nealmcbnope - a mystery17:29
nealmcbbut if you can confirm it that would help17:30
serge_will do17:30
ruben23 RoyK: any link idea on making ssh froward X11..? to the ubuntu server17:31
RoyKruben23: it's the other way around - putty uses ssh to open for forwarding X11 to your PC, where xming is the "x server". Whatever X11 app you start on the server, will make the app connect to your X11 server (xming)17:33
RoyKgoogle "xming putty"17:33
ruben23ok i see it i just need to enable X11..17:36
RoyKon the server, you'll need to install virt-manager17:37
RoyKthat'll probably include a shitload of X libs, but that won't hurt unless you have a microscopic root partition17:38
ruben23yes done install virt-manager now17:41
RoyKhm... wierd - I just ran an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade and after rebooting and logging in, it still tells me 14 packages can be updated17:41
ruben23 RoyK: next point i should do..?17:44
RoyKwhen virt-manager is installed, try to run it17:44
RoyKsudo virt-manager17:44
RoyKas your user17:44
RoyKif you su to root first, the DISPLAY variable is lost, and no X will work17:44
ruben23done running17:47
ruben23virt-manager17:47
RoyKit came up?17:48
ruben23what should happend..? i run it whihc im using putty-ssh to my server17:48
RoyKsec17:49
RoyKhttp://karlsbakk.net/virt-manager-screenshot.png17:50
RoyKas you can see, virt-manager is running in the front17:52
RoyKto check if X11 works, run something like xeyes17:52
ruben23ok17:53
RoyKor xterm...17:53
ruben23RoyK: so it sok i run this viret-manager - im currently ssh on the server-im not locally on its creen17:57
RoyKruben23: so am I - that 'lamia' box is 50km from here17:58
ruben23ok17:58
RoyKruben23: did you get X11 working18:06
ruben23 RoyK: im downloading the iso of ubuntu server for my guest vm then if done ill run the virt-manager18:07
RoyKtry virt-manager now18:08
ruben23ok18:08
RoyKjust test if  it runs and shows up on your PC18:08
ruben23RoyK:  i see errors--------------------->http://pastebin.com/ekTXuYyY18:15

ruben23just blank screen respond18:15
ruben23when i run that18:16
ruben23illl run virt-manager again.>?18:16
RoyKthen I guess the putty config is bad18:16
RoyKruben23: if DISPLAY isn't set, it's usually the ssh client not doing its things correctly18:17
ruben23RoyK:  i have tried again and the menu i see on you screenshot18:19
ruben23i see it now18:20
ruben23whast should i dot next18:20
RoyKso you have virt-manager on screen?18:20
ruben23yes it is18:20
ruben23now18:20
RoyKconnect to localhost18:20

ruben23ubuntu -server 10.1018:50
ruben23i dont see any directory for 118:50

ruben23i get 2 permission denied error--> char device redirected to /dev/pts/1 open /dev/kvm: permission denied ---> qemu: could not open disk image /root/ubuntu server 10.10.iso : permission denied18:55
ruben23ubuntu server 10.10 is not supported yet..?18:55
RoyKit is supported18:56
RoyKbut for servers, using LTS releases is safer18:57
ruben23i cant proceed to permission denied casuing to stop18:57
RoyKlast LTS release was 10.0418:57
ruben23this is just fro testing18:57
ruben23i will do LTS for teh prodcution in time18:57
ruben23what could be possible casuing teh permission denied18:58
RoyKno idea, really - I'm using kvm on 10.04 and it just works18:58
RoyKpost a bug18:58
ruben23its workig now but so lagged i cant even move the cursor.. the screen freezing sometimes19:11

luigi_panacheHi all, I've upgraded my 10.10 headless server to a 11.04, and now it refuses to connect to the internet in any way. No amount of playing with ifconfig,ifup, etc. will get either ethernet interface up, and I can't seem to find any indication that something went wrong at boot time.23:56
