[03:10] <kellnola> having a bizarre problem here ... I have a server I can ssh into, guest virtual machines running on it work fine, but the server can't initiate any sort of network traffic or even open a socket, not even ping anything. There aren't any firewall rules at all and apparmor is off ...
[03:11] <kellnola> a ping just recieves
[03:11] <kellnola> "EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)"
[03:12] <njbair> since my upgrade to natty, my development server no longer displays PHP error messages.
[04:24] <toddnine> Hi guys.  is there a command to list all currently installed ppa sources?
[04:25] <toddnine> I need to see if one is present via grep in an automated script
[04:54] <lifesf> Hi, my ubuntu natty server works then cannot access, then can access then cannot.......................
[04:55] <arleslie> speratic network card?
[04:55] <lifesf> using a wireless dlink
[04:55] <lifesf> it does not require much traffis
[04:56] <lifesf> traffic*
[04:56] <arleslie> signal?
[04:56] <lifesf> yup
[04:56] <arleslie> how good?
[04:56] <lifesf> it connects fine
[04:56] <arleslie> just because it connects doesn't mean it has good enough signal
[04:56] <lifesf> umm.. is there a way to view the signal strenght on the server through terminal?
[04:56] <arleslie> iwconfig might show it
[04:56] <lifesf> well.. all my pcs from where i am have a rather good signal
[04:56] <arleslie> I would recommend just running a line to the server
[04:57] <arleslie> either way I g2g, good luck
[04:57] <lifesf> impossible at the moment
[04:57] <lifesf> oh ok but thanx
[04:57] <lifesf> does anyone else know how to fix this issue? sometimes can connect sometimes cannot,... and from memory,.. when it was still hooked up right after install,... it still did taht
[04:58] <lifesf> i thought it was because it would go in sleep mode which is completely absurd
[05:05] <lifesf> and it always states being connected
[05:05] <lifesf> in all times
[05:14] <Juv1228> toddnine, you could just read out /etc/apt/sources.list and parse for it there
[05:15] <toddnine> Thanks JUv1228.  I was able to check for the existence of the file in /etc/apt/sources.d
[08:33] <koolhead11> RoAkSoAx,
[08:33] <RoAkSoAx> koolhead11: yes?
[08:34] <koolhead11> were you supposed to put cobbler community documentation ?
[08:34] <RoAkSoAx> koolhead11: help.ubuntu.com/community/Cobbler
[08:34] <koolhead11> RoAkSoAx, kool :)
[08:39] <w00> That doc works wonders, god it working from first try pretty quick
[08:39] <w00> *got
[08:39] <w00> Never touched cobbler before :)
[08:54] <twb> Is cobbler one of those puppet clones?
[08:54] <twb> Ah, not quite.
[08:54] <twb> More like di-netboot-assistant or FAI
[08:54] <twb> (only shit)
[09:02] <twb> Why is plymouth still loading when "splash" is not in grub's cmdline on my lucid VM?
[09:03] <twb> Also, what is the option to blacklist vga16fb?
[09:03]  * twb tries nomodeset
[09:04] <twb> Nope, that's not it.
[09:06] <shirgall> twb I just put it in the /etc/modprobe.d
[09:07] <shirgall> twb: in fact, blacklist-framebuffer.conf in there should already have it
[09:07] <twb> shirgall: what, "blacklist vga16fb" or "install vga16fb /bin/false" ?
[09:07] <twb> shirgall: no, vga16fb is the one ubuntu *wants* me to load; they leave it in by default because they hate me
[09:07] <twb> shirgall: they only default to blacklisting stuff that breaks non-free nvidia and ati drivers
[09:07] <shirgall> twb: ah, I generally force vesafb instead
[09:08] <twb> shirgall: see, I don't want *any* framebuffer
[09:08] <twb> It breaks kvm -curses
[09:08] <shirgall> understood, you can certain uncomment vesafb in that file too
[09:08] <twb> Ugh: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/blacklist
[09:10] <twb> OK, "blacklist vga16fb" appeared to work.
[09:26] <twb> WTF is ntfs-3g doing in the ubuntu ramdisk?
[09:27] <twb> Like, just because ubuntu-standard recommends people have NTFS support, they need it *to boot*?
[09:51] <koolhead11> RoAkSoAx, shall i add 2 things in case we are using a dhcp sever on same system on which cobbler is running?  in the configuration section?
[09:53] <koolhead11> also the 3ed error can be escaped :P
[09:55] <koolhead11> jdstrand, hello
[10:38] <Tensibai> Can someone help me with preseed file ? (mainly for the proxy in mirror selection)
[11:19] <TampiKo> help

[11:19] <TampiKo> command?
[11:19] <TampiKo> restart
[11:20] <Guest72460> hi - i need some help please, i need to forward ip protocol 47 to the a masqueraded op address on my lan
[11:20] <Guest72460> *masqueraded ip address
[11:35] <koolhead11> TampiKo, >
[11:35] <koolhead11> ?
[11:36] <TampiKo> I reset the postgresql-8.1.4 as I do?
[11:40] <TampiKo> ?
[11:46] <Guest72460> *masqueraded ip address
[11:47] <RoAkSoAx> koolhead11: yeah just follow what is says after sudo cobbler check
[11:49] <koolhead11> RoAkSoAx, i meant adding the modification bit if am running DHCP server on the same cobbler server apart from the 3ed error we get at time of sync. Also adding content inside the custom cobbler dhcp template file which over writes default dhcp config :)
[11:49] <koolhead11> TampiKo, i thought your asking something :)
[11:50] <TampiKo> ?
 help
 /etc/init.d/postgresql restart
[11:50] <TampiKo> gnuworld@srcarloncasmi:~$ /etc/init.d$ sudo ./postgresql restart
[11:50] <TampiKo> -su: /etc/init.d$: No such file or directory

[11:51] <koolhead11> TampiKo, have you compiled postgres from source?
[11:51] <TampiKo> gnuworld
[11:51] <TampiKo> o user postgres ?
[11:53] <koolhead11> jdstrand, the dhcp apparmor issue/bug i reported it is not a bug i suppose because am using the configuration file of dhcp via dhcp.template file of cobbler which overwrites dhcpd.conf
[12:06] <novitololo> I've a file inside /etc/apache2/sites-available that has the following line: ServerName www.mytest.com.  DocumentRoot /path_to_index.php  -- I also have /etc/hosts defined a line with 127.0.0.1 www.mytest.com.  My question is: Why do I have to have that line in /etc/hosts, if I'm already declaring what's the servername for that VHost?
[12:08] <shauno> the line in /etc/hosts isn't for the apache configuration.  it overrides the name resolution so when you stick www.mytest.com in your browser, it doesn't ask your isp's nameserver what the IP for mytest.com is.  it uses the one from /etc/hosts in preference
[12:10] <shauno> without it, apache knows that you want to answer requests for mytest.com, but nothing else on the machine does
[12:10] <novitololo> this explanation is awesome
[12:10] <novitololo> thanks a lot.
[12:11] <Guest72460> hi - i need some help please, i need to forward ip protocol 47 to the a masqueraded op address on my lan

[13:06] <koolhead11> RoAkSoAx, will do. thanks
[13:25] <twister004> hi guys...... can my NIS client settings vanish after a reboot on a linux client?... there is no dir under /var/yp/binding.... it was present before the reboot.. how is this possible?... please advise!
[13:33] <twb> twister004: ubuntu sucks at nis IME
[13:33] <twb> First of all, make sure network manager isn't installed or running
[13:34] <twister004> twb.. can a directory just disappear like that?
[13:34] <twb> Dunno
[13:34] <twb> If you had an outage, fsck could've removed it due to brkage
[14:04] <TeTeT> SpamapS: Hi Clint, is there any chance to get bug 561750 fixed in Lucid soonish? LVM (customer) is requesting this
[14:12] <jdstrand> koolhead11: interesting. if this is a standard cobbler configuration, please note it in the bug-- it would be good to support that out of the box

[14:59] <elb0w> I had to enable universe
[15:11] <sky1> ine frage, wenn ich vom system her ubuntu sagen soll, dass er bei einer anfrage zertifikate mit gibt, wie mach ich das? reicht es die zertifikate in /etc/ssl zu kopieren ? ...  ich weiß das sind wenig infos.. aber ich muss erstmal grundlegend wissen, wei in linux die zertifikate aktiviert werden ...
[15:26] <johnny2k> hello. any one have console localization experience? i see nice squares instead of words on last ubuntu serv
[15:27] <johnny2k> i try dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and see letters as me need, but after reboot they disappear
[15:27] <johnny2k> plz help me
[15:33] <johnny2k> any docs?
[15:45] <pr3nt1c3> if I have kvm2... is virtualBox redundant?
[15:52] <soren> kvm2? What the heck is kvm2?
[15:53] <soren> pr3nt1c3: ^
[15:54] <pr3nt1c3> I meant LVM2
[15:54] <pr3nt1c3> typo
[15:54] <pr3nt1c3> logical volume mgmt
[15:55] <pr3nt1c3> I have 2x1.5TB drives, and I want the system to recognise an unbroken 3TB drive... then after this is done... I want to make sure that users can log into vBox VM's and have their session forwarded via network
[16:01] <pr3nt1c3> ok... the VG is 2.73TB in size... but only 1.3 is initialized... but the 'uninitialized' portion is my main filesys... where did I go wrong? I can't initialize the device as a) it's mounted... and b) hosts my server filesys and my user directories
[16:01] <pr3nt1c3> ideas?
[16:19] <hallyn_> pr3nt1c3: I think you need to give us some more info on what you had before, what you just changed, and what your problem now is.  Near as I can decipher you had an LVM on one drive, now you added another drive to the pv and want to extend the lv to include the new drive.  <shrug>
[16:19] <pr3nt1c3> which I've now done
[16:20] <pr3nt1c3> it just looks weird
[17:09] <bencc> whe editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config, can I just add my lines at the end of the file? will it overwrite previous lines?
[17:10] <bencc> or do I have to edit each line in the body of the file
[17:13] <netrat> bencc, i don't understand your question... are you talking about commenting lines out? why would it overwrite previous lines?
[17:14] <bencc> netrat: instead of commenting lines I just want to paste new lines
[17:14] <bencc> if my lines at the end of the file will take effect it's easier to maintain
[17:15] <bencc> for example, the line "Port 22"
[17:15] <bencc> I want to put a line "Port 22345" at the end of the file but without changing the previous line so it's faster to add and remove my changes
[17:20] <Err404NotFound> I have added something to cron with &>> /tmp/log but even though /var/log/cron says that cron was executed and i can otherwise verify that the script executed fine, i can't see anything in the /tmp/log
[17:21] <pmatulis> bencc: why don't you just try it?
[17:22] <bencc> pmatulis: because it might work by accident and be insecure and unreliable
[17:22] <RoyK> bencc: removing the # in front of a line doesn't take very long :P
[17:45] <Doonz> Hey guys, Im having trouble tracking down a straightfoward howto. What i did was expand an hardware array from 5tb to 10tb. now im trying to resize /dev/sdc1 to use the newly created free space any guides would be appreciated
[17:47] <RoyK> Doonz: did you replace smaller drives with bigger ones?
[17:47] <Doonz> RoyK: its a 16port raid controller just added more drives to the array
[17:48] <RoyK> so why do you try to resize sdc1?
[17:48] <Doonz> because drive /dev/sdc1 is only 5tb
[17:48] <RoyK> oh - hardware raid?
[17:49] <Doonz> yes
[17:49] <Doonz> sudo fdisk -l
[17:49] <Doonz> crap
[17:49] <Doonz> Disk /dev/sdc: 9999.9 GB, 9999891824640 bytes
[17:49] <RoyK> gparted is rather nice
[17:49] <Doonz> /dev/sdc1             5.4T  4.1T  1.1T  79%
[17:49] <Doonz> im running a headless server so cli only for me
[17:50] <RoyK> remote X should work, though
[17:50] <Doonz> wich would mean i would have to install it ....
[17:50] <RoyK> why not?
[17:50] <Doonz> not sure how to /me hangs head in shame
[17:50] <RoyK> fiddling with parted can be rather dangerous if you don't know how to
[17:50] <RoyK> apt-get install gparted
[17:51] <RoyK> if your workstation runs windoze, you'll need something like xming
[17:51] <RoyK> if not, it should be a trivial logout/login
[17:53] <Doonz> ok ima gonna
[17:53] <Doonz> try that
[17:55] <RoyK> Doonz: what OS on the workstation?
[17:55] <Doonz> win xp
[17:55] <RoyK> ok, then download xming, start it, configure putty to do X11 forwarding and you should be game
[17:56] <Doonz> ok
[17:56] <Doonz> lets see if i can do this
[17:56] <RoyK> :)
[17:59] <battle_warrior> hi, im trying to host a dedicated server of garys mod or css from steam off my linux pc which is linux mint 10 kde ive downloaded all the files  needed.. ive ported http://oi52.tinypic.com/14e00ee.jpg  can anyone explain on what to do next?
[18:00] <pr3nt1c3> if anyone is using transmission 2.13 and you know how to set-up the proxy so it's encrypted... let me know... it's no longer obvious in the pref's
[18:02] <Doonz> HOLY SHOOOT i did it
[18:02] <RoyK> :)
[18:02] <RoyK> wasn't that hard, was it? ;)
[18:03] <Doonz> ive tried a bunch of times
[18:03] <Doonz> and never go it to work
[18:03] <RoyK> xming?
[18:03] <Doonz> and x11 forwarding
[18:03] <RoyK> and now it took 5 minutes?
[18:04] <Doonz> yeah
[18:04] <Doonz> awesome!
[18:04] <RoyK> did you get gparted up?
[18:04] <Doonz> yeah i need to unmount the drive tho
[18:04] <RoyK> obviously, yes :P
[18:05] <pr3nt1c3> alternatively: ssh -X user@host works also
[18:05] <Doonz> yeah but im on windows
[18:07]  * RoyK stopped using windoze some 12 years ago and only uses it at gunpoint
[18:07] <Doonz> ive got proprietary apps that do not run virtualized so im stuck
[18:07] <RoyK> don't run virtualized?
[18:07] <RoyK> what sort of apps would that be?
[18:08] <Doonz> Control system apps
[18:08]  * RoyK uses a few very propritary apps in his Windoze VM
[18:08] <RoyK> proprietary, even
[18:09] <Doonz> yeah ive tried but it wont
[18:09] <RoyK> shouldn't be much difference for an app to run on a VM as compared to running on a dedicated machine
[18:10] <RoyK> that is - unless they do some nasty hardware or BIOS calls
[18:10] <RoyK> but I thought that was out of line a long time ago
[18:10] <Doonz> has to do with the security protocol they use for locking down the files
[18:11] <Doonz> the controlers to the pc communication will not work
[18:11] <RoyK> bad coding, then :P
[18:11] <RoyK> did you get the partition resized?
[18:12] <Doonz> just getting to it now
[18:12] <Doonz> resizing wont dstroy the data tho right
[18:12] <RoyK> hopefully not
[18:12] <Doonz> its not supposed to tho
[18:13] <Doonz> unless it buggers up right
[18:13]  * RoyK advices Doonz to keep a backup
[18:13] <RoyK> Doonz: btw, zfs is brilliant for such setups ;)
[18:13] <Doonz> yeah i have all the important stuff  mirrored both on another local server and an offsite server as well as stored in the cloud
[18:14] <RoyK> ok
[18:14] <Doonz> see i came from the windows world.... so back ups are a must
[18:14] <Doonz> lol
[18:15] <RoyK> backups are needed even in the unix world, beleve me ;)
[18:15] <Doonz> yeah but unix doesnt decide that you dont need your data
[18:15] <Doonz> windows likes to help clean up the drives
[18:15] <RoyK> that's rather nasty
[18:15] <Doonz> yea ut at least windwos is trying to be helpful
[18:15] <Doonz> lol
[18:16] <RoyK> an operating system shouldn't be helpful in that sort of terms
[18:16] <Doonz> it was just making sure i optimize my storage structure
[18:16] <RoyK> Doonz: I just got a message about a crash on one of the backup storage servers - server reported a 100TB zpool was inaccessible - that hurts
[18:17] <RoyK> a cold restart fixed it, though
[18:17] <Doonz> Heh
[18:17] <Doonz> we had a helpful electrician unplug our fiber link between sites one day
[18:17] <Doonz> lol
[18:17] <RoyK> heh - no harm done, I guess?
[18:18] <Doonz> kinda
[18:18] <RoyK> some hours of downtime is mostly acceptable
[18:18] <Doonz> that link was the connection to a datacenter wich host our simulation server
[18:18] <RoyK> hehe
[18:18] <Doonz> we were in the middle of showing the customer their new 5billion dollar plant
[18:18] <Doonz> :/
[18:18] <RoyK> :D
[18:18] <RoyK> how many compute nodes do you have there?
[18:19] <Doonz> its an interesting setup
[18:19] <RoyK> and what sort of parallelisation tech?
[18:20] <Doonz> Its a cluster of 15 heads units with 1857 gpus
[18:20] <Doonz> 1847*
[18:20] <RoyK> nice
[18:20] <RoyK> for what use?
[18:21] <Doonz> process simulation
[18:21] <Doonz> pretty sweet
[18:21] <RoyK> Doonz: I work for nilu.no - we still haven't had the FLEXPART model rewritten so it can support GPUs
[18:21] <Doonz> this is running idea's
[18:22] <RoyK> and currently, we only have about 120 CPUs running it
[18:22] <Doonz> wich has native gpu support and sacles liniar
[18:22] <Doonz> we only have 30 cpus in the node obviously
[18:22] <RoyK> idea?
[18:22] <Doonz> process simulation package
[18:22] <Doonz> brb ssboilers down
[18:32] <Doonz> well that was fun
[18:34] <Doonz> wow this x11 forwarding is pretty cool
[18:36] <lifesf> my server has an intermitent response problem... i can't figure out why; sometimes i can access it from local and external, and sometimes not at all yet it is still connected and everything up and running; and like right now, i cannot access it from external but i can from local
[18:36] <lifesf> and sometimes everything works perfect
[18:36] <lifesf> especially after a restart,... and then 10minutes later,... problem start appearing again
[18:43] <Doonz> i wonder how long it takes to do a filesystem check on 5tb
[18:51] <RoyK> Doonz: the filesystem won't grow automatically
[18:51] <Doonz> eh?
[18:51] <RoyK> Doonz: resize2fs is your friend
[18:51] <Doonz> yeah
[18:52] <koolhead17> hi all
[18:52] <RoyK> hi, koolhead17
[18:54] <koolhead17> hey RoyK
[18:57] <lifesf> can anyone help me out? :S
[19:04] <RoyK> lifesf: pastebin dmesg output
[19:04] <lifesf> ok
[19:07] <lifesf> i forget the site, my history isn't on this pc
[19:08] <RoyK> !pastebin
[19:09] <lifesf> http://paste.debian.net/116877/
[19:11] <lifesf> i'm connected via wireless at the moment but wether i was wireless or not it would still stop working local sometimes
[19:18] <lifesf> does it help?
[19:20] <wmp> hello
[19:21] <wmp> is possible to diplay what proces is in swap?
[19:23] <wmp> ok, i found: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/479953/how-to-find-out-which-processes-are-swapping-in-linux
[19:48] <lifesf> nobody know?
[19:48] <Doonz> so 5tb takes how long with e2fsck .........
[19:48] <Doonz> im thinking 18 hours
[19:48] <Doonz> any bets?
[19:48] <FK3> can someone recommend server software which can stream videos through web, not media tomb
[19:59] <Doonz> sorry FK3 i have now idea
[19:59] <FK3> no prob think ive found one
[20:10] <lifesf> sometimes can somtimes can't access server,...why? 11.04 install
[20:12] <Doonz> lifesf: sorry man i dont have an answer
[20:26] <jMyles> So, is there a way to deploy the OpenStack-powered UEC today?  Does it make sense to put new UEC deployments on hold for a bit?
[20:40] <pmatulis> jMyles: give it at least 6 months
[20:40] <jMyles> pmatulis: So what in the mean time?  Stick with Eucalyptus?
[20:51] <Doonz> ok i was way off on my guess only 2.5 hours for the filesystem check
[20:55] <CppIsWeird> does the latest version of ubuntu-server have a firewall installed by default? i did an do-release-upgrade and now openvpn wont work for anything. i've run over everything in openvpn about 10 times. im at a loss.
[20:58] <remix_tj> CppIsWeird: use tcpdump -p
[20:58] <remix_tj> to view if traffic is being dropped
[20:58] <remix_tj> CppIsWeird: or try with
[20:58] <remix_tj> iptables -L -n
[20:58] <remix_tj> and look if there is any rule
[20:59] <CppIsWeird> doesnt look like theres rules in any of the three sections
[21:07] <JanC> CppIsWeird: nothing in openvpn logs?
[21:11] <CppIsWeird> nothing that would indicate error. openvpn both in client and server thinks everything is okay. im suspicious of either something ran amock in windows networking or the server upgrade as it seemed to fail right around the upgrade.
[21:34] <matt_keys> I'm trying to move a web server over to ubuntu from centos. The previous admin used dbm=db:/path/to/rewrite.db in the rewrite configuration. I have enabled mod_rewrite, and moved the config over and enabled rewrite logging. When I rm the log and restart the server it gets created again, so I know it's reading the config but it doesn't appear to be pulling in the rewrites from those db files

[21:35] <matt_keys> RoyK: hello
[21:36] <matt_keys> Also, I've tried the AllowOverride all as suggested in the forums
[21:36] <matt_keys> I also have dbd, authz_dbm, and authn_dbd loaded
[21:37] <matt_keys> Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be the problem?
[23:33] <Doonz> RoyK: you kicking around
