[00:06] <SpaceBass> anyone know of a good package to create RSS feeds of files in a directory structure?
[03:05] <toddnine> Hi guys.  I'm using ami-a17e2ee4 on EC2, but my root partition is only 10 GB and I'm constantly running out of space due to aggressive logging in our application during the beta phase
[03:05] <toddnine> Any ideas why I'm not getting the 850 GB that's possible in an m1.large instance on EC2?
[03:31] <Delerium_> toddnine, not familiar with EC2, but I gues this is a SAN ?
[03:32] <toddnine> Delerium_: I think it's just the way the AMI is recreated
[03:33] <toddnine> for some reason only 10 GB was allocated to the / mount point.  The remaining 392 gb was allocated to the /mnt mount point.  Seems a bit strange
[03:33] <toddnine> Given that anything I want to keep should use EBS devices attached to a /mnt/<name> mount point
[03:33] <Delerium_> you might want to check if there is any space left that you could add to /
[03:33] <toddnine> Delerium_: How could I do that?
[03:34] <Delerium_> Let me boot my ubuntu server, I don't remember the command on top of my head... I mostly use AIX ;)
[03:34] <Delerium_> (be back in 4-5 mins)
[03:37] <maxagaz> hi
[03:37] <maxagaz> Can I run a wcentos server or a windows server in eucalyptus ?
[03:40] <Delerium_> toddnine, paste me the output of "df -k" in a private chat please
[03:46] <WinstonSmith> why a private chat? nobody learns anything that way....
[03:46] <Delerium_> WinstonSmith, to avoid flooding the channel...
[03:49] <Delerium_> Urrggll... Just read what AMI / EC2 is ... heee.. well.. I'm not a big fan of cloud computing
[07:14] <histo> ugh motd isn't updating on my server install
[07:14] <histo> it's still showing 52 updates availible with 33 being security updates
[07:15] <greppy> histo: is it only showing that or is it twice?
[07:15] <histo> greppy: it's only showing that
[07:15] <greppy> I had motd.tail on a couple boxes end up with an old motd saved to it, so I was getting one that said multiple packages to update and one that had 0 updates.
[07:16] <histo> greppy: yeah motd.tail is present should I just clear that?
[07:17] <greppy> what is in it?
[07:17] <histo> greppy: yeah removing /etc/motd.tail got rid of the update message
[07:17] <greppy> there ya go :)
[07:17] <histo> hopefully it will continue advising of updates though
[07:17] <greppy> mine does
[07:18] <greppy> I had 3 LTS boxes do that
[07:18] <histo> My other box doens't have motd.tail
[07:18] <histo> yeay
[07:18] <histo> yeah
[07:39] <histo> Where do users cron jobs go from crontab -e?
[07:51] <histo> nvm found it
[07:52] <histo> will logrotate get rid of logs that i've created?
[08:38] <koolhead11|afk> kirkland, the sample preseed file of yours mentions d-i	clock-setup/utc	boolean true twice in the file, is it a typo or needed?
[09:12] <maxagaz> how to list all hosts in a network ? I tried nmap -sP 10.100.8.0/24, but it show all hosts as up, although I can't ping many of them
[09:21] <jmarsden> maxagaz: That is a reasonable nmap command, so if it is doing odd things for you, try it with -v so you can see exactly what nmap is doing.  sudo nmap -v -sP 10.100.8.0/24
[09:22] <jmarsden> But it is 1:22 am here, so I need to sleep...
[09:46] <koolhead11|afk> jmarsden, :P

[12:47] <esbite> Hi. I started an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 over ssh. Then my client crashed. In retrospect it was very stupid not to use screen. I have reconnected and can see the update still running on ps, probably waiting for my input. Any idea on how to recover from this?
[13:01] <_ruben> lovely, setting a vlan tag on my bmc using ipmitool kills arp for that vlan in the os.. pretty weird
[13:05] <uuser123> i have installed ubuntu 10.04 and after that i have installed utm (unified threat management software -firewall/vpn/av/ips/mail/url/vpn ) on that but now how do i installed /configure  additional  interface
[13:05] <uuser123> i have 3 nic on my system and only 1 is configure and i want to configure 2 and 3 rd nic so i can use nic 2 and 3 with KVM
[13:11] <jamespage> uuser123: you will need to add entries for you extra interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces.
[13:25] <speakman> hi folks. Is it possible to lighten up the error-LEDs when a SATA disk has failed?
[13:26] <speakman> I've "echo > /sys/bus/scsi/devices/{mydevice}/delete" and according to dmesg it's stopped and disabled.
[13:29] <speakman> These leds: http://goo.gl/xs7L7
[13:36] <patdk-wk> those led's are controlled by your ses controller
[13:39] <speakman> ses? sata?
[13:39] <speakman> patdk-wk:
[13:39] <patdk-wk> ses, I never said anything about sata
[13:39] <speakman> never heard of ses
[13:39] <patdk-wk> it's been around for atleast a decade
[13:40] <speakman> scsi enclosure services?
[13:40] <patdk-wk> yep
[13:40] <zul> Daviey: is there a central place on the wiki where we are keeping the specs
[13:40] <speakman> ok, can I control it?
[13:40] <Daviey> zul, yes
[13:41] <speakman> patdk-wk: can sdparm control such stuff?
[13:41] <zul> Daviey: url?
[13:42] <patdk-wk> dunno
[13:42] <patdk-wk> I normally just let my raid card do it
[13:42] <speakman> ok? i'm running linux software raid
[13:42] <Daviey> zul, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Specs/$SPECNAME ?
[13:42] <speakman> And I have to replace one of the disk in the mirror setup
[13:42] <patdk-wk> hmm, in this machine here, /dev/sg0 is my ses
[13:42] <speakman> But I've no clue which disk to remove :)
[13:42] <zul> i think i might have missed that part
[13:43] <speakman> I've got /dev/sg0 as well
[13:45] <patdk-wk> sg_ses to control it
[13:51] <speakman> ok, any idea how to lighten the LED's by using sg_ses ?

[14:00] <jamespage> zul: that would be great - thankyou
[14:02] <zul> jamespage: url?
[14:04] <zul> jamespage: actually its part of eucalyptus maybe daviey should upload that for you
[14:04] <Daviey> zul, feel free... share the love.
[14:05] <zul> or pain

[14:05] <Daviey> hmm
[14:06]  * jamespage loves it when Daviey says 'hmm'
[14:06] <jamespage> (normally means he's done something wrong :-))
[14:07] <Daviey> it's all going to go wrong.
[14:07] <Daviey> i can feel it in my water.
[14:09] <zul> arrrgh...you called it ppa2
[14:10]  * jamespage doh
[14:10] <jamespage> lemme fix
[14:10] <jamespage> serves me right for testing stuff properly I guess....
[14:10] <zul> *cough* pbuilder
[14:11] <zul> thats another "one" to my spreadsheet
[14:11] <jamespage> man this is going to cost me alot....
[14:13] <jamespage> zul: amended branch pushed....
[14:18] <zul> jamespage: thanks
[14:19] <skrewler> alright I'm usually super good at this stuff.  I've also thought that I had fixed it several times, but it keeps happening.  I've got an Ubuntu 64bit 10.04.2 running on an Amazon EC2 instance.  It's got 17.5GB RAM and two CPUs (m2.xlarge).  Several times a day Nagios will flip out and send alerts wrt this instance.  I'll be unable to SSH into the box (hangs).   if I happened to already have an SSH session open on the box I can 
[14:19] <skrewler> directories, list environment variables, view logs, but if I enter a command (it's usually 'uptime') it will hang.  After about 5 minutes it will finally recover on its own and the load will be 30+.  It's 100% reproducible when I run svnsync on it, it has two repos .. one 500MB another about 5GB.   Thats not the only thing that triggers this though
[14:19] <lynxman> hmm guys, when a postinst script is executed on install it's called with scriptname configure right?
[14:20] <skrewler> the box runs svn, git, redmine (nginx/sqlite), php/apache/mysql, and sendmail.  it's not customer facing and is sometimes used as a staging server
[14:21] <maxagaz> hi
[14:21] <maxagaz> I'm trying to install ubuntu server from usb stick
[14:21] <maxagaz> but it's looking for a cdrom after some step
[14:21] <maxagaz> is there way to fix this ?
[14:21] <zul> jamespage: ok done
[14:21] <maxagaz> with the console perhaps
[14:22] <jamespage> zul: thanks
[14:23] <jamespage> now I can get libjibx1.2-java accepted into the archive

[14:48] <esbite> Hi. I started an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 over ssh. Then my client crashed. In retrospect it was very stupid not to use screen. I have reconnected and can see the update still running on ps, probably waiting for my input. Any suggestions on how to recover from this?
[15:05] <ikonia> hello Loof
[15:06] <Loof> I'm running into a problem with a fresh install onto a SCSI RAID array... I can't get the grub bootloader to install (fatal error)... it won't run on the command line (grub-probe error... and past that grub-mkimage is missing)... and I can't chroot into my new /
[15:06] <ikonia> what type or raid, software/hardware/fakeraid
[15:06] <Loof> Battery backed up Ultra-320 raid... Adaptec controller
[15:07] <Loof> Serious h/w raid :)
[15:07] <ikonia> Loof: ok - if you boot from a livecd, can it see the raid disk ?
[15:07] <Loof> Serverraid 5i to be specific
[15:07] <Loof> Yep
[15:07] <Loof> I can see the disk just fine
[15:07] <Loof> it's grub itself that fails
[15:07] <Loof> it won't install the bootloader on the local IDE disk either
[15:08] <ikonia> as in the installer installing grub, or you manually installing grub
[15:08] <Loof> (I thought... maybe something odd happened and it's trying to boot from IDE...)
[15:08] <Loof> Either
[15:08] <Loof> installer says 'fatal error'
[15:08] <ikonia> either ?
[15:08] <ikonia> ok, so what device is it trying to install grub to ?
[15:09] <Loof> It was trying to install it to the IDE drive
[15:09] <ikonia> what device are you telling it to install to
[15:09] <Loof> I've tried to both
[15:10] <Loof> And the installer didn't let me pick the boot disk
[15:10] <Loof> It just assumed /dev/sda was the boot disk
[15:10] <ikonia> yes, but what device identifier are you using to install to it
[15:10] <Loof> device identifier?
[15:11] <ikonia> yes
[15:11] <ikonia> as in the disk device you are trying to install grub to
[15:11] <Loof> So, I booted into rescue mode
[15:12] <Loof> there's no grub-install... there's something called 'grub-installer' which jails because 'grub-probe' is not found.
[15:12] <ikonia> ok - I need you to respond to the questions I'm asking please
[15:12] <Loof> mirc is stupid
[15:12] <ikonia> ok, bye then
[15:12] <Loof> Uhm, I could not reply because this irc program ate the response
[15:12] <Loof> That's why it is stupid
[15:13] <Loof> I used /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb
[15:13] <Loof> I also went into fdisk to make sure /dev/sdb1 was bootable
[15:13] <Loof> I've installed linux before a few times.
[15:13] <Loof> ikonia: I responded... but /dev/sdb1 must be a special command to mirc... it simply didn't post
[15:14] <Loof> Hello?
[15:14] <skrewler> how are you using /dev/sdb to install grub to?  it should be like hd(0,0)
[15:15] <skrewler> (hd0,0) that is
[15:15] <Loof> skrewler: Modern versions of grub-install were able to use /dev/xxxx
[15:15] <Loof> skrewler: What tool should I be using?
[15:16] <skrewler> in my experience if you're having troubles booting the best thing to do is remove every drive but what you want to boot to then install grub to that
[15:16] <skrewler> no room for error, no headaches
[15:17] <Loof> skrewler: My issue is that the tools are returning errors... missing files...etc.
[15:17] <Loof> Has anyone here installed Ubuntu server 11.04 from scratch? I'm wondering if this is my issue or if the ISO is hosed
[15:18] <Loof> A bigger issue is that I simply can't chroot
[15:18] <Loof> chroot /target - never returns
[15:19] <patdk-wk> about 40 times
[15:19] <patdk-wk> always works for me
[15:20] <skrewler> you're just giving us really vague info to go off of, which is why i gave you instructions that are idiot proof. it  would also allow you to try the install again and get the actual error message if it still failed
[15:21] <Loof> skrewler: What is vague about it... I ran grub-install /dev/sdb and I got a grub-mkimage not found
[15:21] <Loof> I ran 'install grub bootloader' from the menu...and it simply says 'fatal error'
[15:22] <Loof> there's not much else I'm getting here
[15:23] <skrewler> so are you at the point where the install has failed
[15:23] <skrewler> im not sure where you're at
[15:23] <Loof> Right now, rebooting into rescue
[15:24] <skrewler> you should get to the point where the installer fails, switch to a term and look at some logs
[15:24] <skrewler> ok, so mount the disk and give us some logs
[15:25] <Loof> Ok, I'm now in a chroot environment on my new boot disk
[15:25] <Loof> What's your next recommendation?
[15:26] <Loof> skrewler: I did... grub-probe was missing.
[15:26] <skrewler> are all of your partitions mounted?
[15:27] <Loof> Yep
[15:27] <Loof> update-grub works... grub-install /dev/sdb has no problems reported
[15:27] <Loof> anything else I should do?
[15:28] <highvoltage> stgraber: you know what? I actually like the aubergine d-i now :)
[15:28] <skrewler> no idea what grub-probe does, so dunno
[15:28] <Loof> man grub-probe - probe device information for GRUB
[15:29] <Loof> it's part of the set of programs required to install the grub bootloader
[15:29] <Loof> i.e. the installer doesn't find a file it requires
[15:29] <stgraber> highvoltage: hehe
[15:42] <Loof> Hmm, that's disturbing... Even with the ide disk removed... I get to a blank screen after a successful GRUB install
[15:43] <Loof> Is there a way to run the installer and bypass the install steps... just go to where it installs grub... to see what happens when it doesn't see the IDE disk?
[15:45] <Loof> There's something very wrong /w Ubuntu when an experienced user can't get the bootloader to work.
[15:45] <skrewler> does your HBA support booting to it?
[15:46] <Loof> skrewler: Yes... it was booting Linux just before this.
[15:46] <Loof> skrewler: I'd done a few updates...and decided to start fresh
[15:46] <RoyK> Loof: grub2 is crappy, I know
[15:47] <Loof> This won't let me install grub without repartitioning
[15:47] <Loof> I hit back... try to jump ahead...and it tells me I need to repartition
[15:48] <RoyK> Loof: it should be sufficient to just choose which partition(s) to use
[15:48] <Loof> Wow, this is annoying
[15:48] <Loof> I did
[15:49] <Loof> It immediately jumped to 'installing base system'
[15:49] <Loof> Even though I got to the partitioning screen by selecting 'install grub...'
[15:49] <Loof> Sorry dudes... your installer is borked
[15:50] <skrewler> get to a shell and try from there
[15:50] <Loof> skrewler: I -have- that's why I decided to try to let the installer do it... as that didn't succeed.
[15:50] <Loof> I installed grub once...and got a grub bootloader line
[15:50] <Loof> which is good... a nice start
[15:50] <Loof> went back in... did update-grub... redid the install
[15:50] <Loof> and get to a blank screen on boot
[15:50] <Loof> no clear indication of what's going on
[15:51] <Loof> at least lilo had it's little boot indicators
[15:51] <Loof> Hey, can I still use lilo?
[15:51] <skrewler> i dunno, use syslinux
[15:51] <Loof> Isn't syslinux some MSDOS bootloader?
[15:52] <skrewler> whatever the equiv of iosolinux/pxelinux/syslinux
[15:52] <skrewler> that shit works
[15:52] <Loof> skrewler: Selecting 'boot from first disk' on the cd didn't help
[15:53] <Loof> This is annoying... I'm wasting useful hours...
[15:53] <skrewler> so there's this alternate install CD that I've used in the past
[15:53] <Loof> Bleh, is CentOS really a better choice for a server?
[15:54] <skrewler> i'd run 10.04
[15:55] <ScottK> Depends on what you want.  Centos tends to have ancient stuff.  If you're good with ancient, then it's something to consider.
[15:55] <ScottK> Usually Debian and derived distros have a broader and generally more current package selection.
[15:58] <Loof> No luck... the bootloader is clearly kicking in
[15:58] <Loof> but it won't boot
[15:58] <Loof> Oh
[15:58] <Loof> Sheesh
[15:58] <Loof> Seriously?
[15:59] <Loof> Why does Ubuntu 11 show NO BOOT MESSAGES AT ALL until you get a prompt?
[15:59] <Loof> I've had this fixed for at least an hour
[15:59] <Loof> and I had no idea because it doesn't look like it is doing a stinking thing
[15:59] <Loof> Who was the genius that thought servers shouldn't display their boot process to the user
[15:59] <Loof> it's stupid enough for a desktop to boot with a GUI in front of the boot log
[15:59] <Loof> that's annoying... but understandable
[15:59] <Loof> but a SERVER?!?
[16:00] <Loof> This time I walked away from the stupid thing... and suddenly it's at a boot prompt...
[16:00] <Loof> no indication of anything
[16:00] <Loof> sporadic disk activity and such, of course
[16:00] <Loof> but nothing huge
[16:00] <Loof> But a raid controller does that even when no OS is running... it does regular disk checks... all by itself
[16:01] <Loof> Great... no login either
[16:02] <Loof> Woo, I'm going to have to start from scratch... again... how fun
[16:02] <Loof> I could have WRITTEN a boot loader by now
[16:02] <Loof> You know what... it was less difficult and less annoying to manually do the a.out to ELF migration
[16:02] <Loof> This was downright silly
[16:03] <Loof> So, lessons learned...
[16:03] <Loof> chroot on 11.04 is broken if you have an IDE disk + a SCSI disk installed
[16:03] <Loof> grub is broken if you have an IDE disk + a SCSI disk installed
[16:04] <Loof> the installed does a grub install BEFORE a grub update
[16:04] <Loof> so if you go into rescue mode and install your bootloader... you get a grub prompt blinking back at you
[16:04] <Loof> and the icing on the cake... there's no indication you've succesfully booted until you get a login prompt... not a thing
[16:05] <Loof> Anyone want to create the 4 bug reports for this?
[16:06] <Loof> The chroot one is the most disturbing part... chroot should be a VERY simply program and has existed for ages... why it cares if there are 2 devices instead of 1... I have no clue
[16:08] <martyn> Is the ubuntu-server email list the appropriate place to post the PXE u-boot patches?
[16:14] <koolhead11|afk> kirkland, thanks :)
[16:23] <zul> martyn: for cobbler?
[16:23] <zul> martyn: or uboot in general?
[16:23] <martyn> For ubuntu server on arm
[16:23] <martyn> It's okay .. got a hold of  jcrigby
[16:24] <zul> martyn: i would use launchpad but arm is a weirdo arch ;)
[16:24] <martyn> we're working on making it non-weirdo :)
[16:24] <martyn> in fact, working on making it dead-bog-boring-standard :)
[16:28] <zul> hallyn: seems to work
[16:28] <hallyn> zul: cool
[16:28] <hallyn> (my _afk designation, apparently, means nothing - i never remember to change it or change it back :)
[16:28] <hallyn> zul: can you upload?
[16:28] <zul> yep will do so in a couple of minutes
[16:29] <hallyn> zul: thanks!
[16:29] <_Wally> Would a Dell Dim3000 with a Intel Celeron 2.40ghz  512mb Ram be enough for a home server?
[16:29] <zul> yep
[16:29] <_Wally> It can still be used as a computer right?
[16:30] <zul> barely
[16:31] <_Wally> More Ram?
[16:35] <zul> yes
[16:35] <patdk-wk> depends on what it will be doing
[16:47] <jmarsden> Some people's home computing needs are just running a shell from which to ssh into their servers :) :)
[16:53] <zul> smb: ill assign you dom0 stuff or should that spec concertrate on the userland stuff?
[16:53] <jamespage> zul: any guidance on which list I should use for the  jenkins packages?
[16:54] <jamespage> sorry - for the maintainer of these packages?
[16:54] <zul> jamespage: which list?
[16:54]  * jamespage thinks he might start again
[16:54] <jamespage> so I'm polishing the packages ready for upload to the archive for Jenkins
[16:55] <zul> ok
[16:55] <jamespage> currently maintainer is set as the launchpad team for hudson packaging
[16:55] <jamespage> should this switch to a ubuntu.com list or stay as is?
[16:55] <zul> ubuntu.com is pretty standard
[16:56] <jamespage> zul: ubuntu-devel-discuss? would make my life easier in terms of package updates....
[16:56] <zul> i was just thinking about that as well, do we have a wiki page for the jenkins packaes where we can keep track of which one has been uploaded, which has problems etc etc
[16:56] <zul> jamespage: agreed
[16:56] <zul> jamespage: just run update-maintainer
[16:57] <jamespage> zul: :-) absolutely
[16:57] <jamespage> there is an existing wiki page; I'm working on a new one specifically to track progress at the moment.
[16:57] <zul>  and how many beverages you owe me
[16:57] <zul> jamespage: cool beans
[17:14] <Proz01d> hey guys.... i'm trying to run openvpn on 10.04LTS 64 and I am gettin ga permission error "Error redirecting stdout/stderr to --log file: openvpn.log: Permission denied (errno=13)" so i tried running sudo openvpn server.conf andall i get is a blinking cursor on the next line with nothing happening.  wait for a while and need to ctrl=c to stop it in order to get a regular promtp
[17:14] <ap0c> sudo su -
[17:14] <ap0c>  /etc/init.d/openvpn start
[17:15] <ap0c> :P
[17:15] <ap0c> actually iirc there was a script you had to build to start it, but iirc you definitely have to run it as root
[17:17] <Proz01d> Unknown id: /etc/init.d/openvpn
[17:18] <ap0c> yeah there should be a startup script
[17:18] <ap0c> that loads iptables
[17:18] <ap0c> and loads the drivers
[17:18] <ap0c> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=896671
[17:19] <ap0c> wait bad thread
[17:19] <ap0c> sorry
[17:19] <ap0c> http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/88-1xhowto.html
[17:19] <ap0c> look at the openvpn-startup.sh
[17:20] <ScottK> ap0c: All you have to do is enable ufw.  That's what it does.
[17:20] <ap0c> automatically adds the roads for the bridge?
[17:20] <ScottK> No.  Loads iptables for firewalling.
[17:21] <ap0c> yeah, but with a bridge or a vpn you have to open the hole for the remote side
[17:21] <ScottK> I misunderstood the context.  Sorry
[17:21] <ScottK> jdstrand: Can you do that with ufw yet?
[17:21] <koolhead11|afk> RoAkSoAx, I have documented a small cobbler setup with natty and custom DHCP server and also wrote custom preseed file for the same. can i update the current cobbler documentation with it?
[17:21] <ap0c> and by roads i meant routes, whoops
[17:21] <koolhead11|afk> if its okey
[17:22] <jdstrand> well, the way I use openvpn, I open up port 1194 on the server and do nothing on the client
[17:23] <jdstrand> ufw allows outgoing connections with tracking, so it should just work
[17:23] <ap0c>  if you're not building a bridge that would work
[17:23] <jdstrand> now, if you want to allow services on the client to be accissible on the server or behind it, you'll have to add a different rule
[17:23] <jdstrand> I am not building a bridge
[17:23] <jdstrand> ufw doesn't do anything with bridging
[17:25] <ap0c> oh... i stand corrected
[17:25] <jdstrand> (that is at a lower level). bug 573461 discusses some of the issues and what to do
[17:29] <RoAkSoAx> koolhead11|afk sure add snother section
[17:30] <koolhead11|afk> Rickardo1, cool.  cobbler all in one :) thanks
[17:31] <koolhead11|afk> RoAkSoAx, i meant :P
[17:37] <smb> zul, I won't mind getting assigned the kernel task in your list. And maybe I should move that task I got over to your list. Need to think it over, but probably not today.
[17:37] <zul> smb: sure lemme know what you come up with and well talk them
[17:37] <zul> s/them/then/g
[17:37] <uuser123> is their any other way to add nic 2 and 3 other then editing /etc/network/interface
[17:40] <pmatulis> uuser123: add nics?  you mean configure them?
[17:40]  * koolhead11|afk bows to zul 
[17:59] <uuser123> sorry
[18:00] <uuser123> yes i want configure them
[18:01] <uuser123> nics are installed but wan some gui frontend to configure them
[18:35] <Proz01d> i'm trying to run openvpn (not the daemon) via the "openvpn server.conf" command
[18:36] <netrat> Proz01d, you might want to run "openvpn --config server.conf"
[18:36] <Proz01d> however i get several errors related to permissions.
[18:36] <Proz01d> that it is unable to open the log files etc..
[18:37] <netrat> Proz01d, post the error messages in pastebin
[18:37] <Proz01d> 1 sec
[18:40] <Proz01d> http://pastebin.com/TNiX730D
[18:41] <netrat> Proz01d, why don't you start openvpn with the init file?
[18:42] <netrat> Proz01d, change your /etc/default/openvpn file to autostart then start openvpn with /etc/init.d/openvpn start
[18:43] <netrat> Proz01d, you can't run openvpn as a non-root user, it needs to start as root then it drops permissions
[19:49] <Proz01d> netrat: thanks for the help seems to be running with the script. i checked the logs and no errors :)
[19:52] <Proz01d> i was following this guide :http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#start
[20:00] <netrat> Proz01d, your welcome
[20:11] <Proz01d> netrat: any idea how i would run it from the command line
[20:11] <Proz01d> with permissions.
[21:41] <aBs0lut30> hey guys, got a problem... am setting up samba with winbind... seem to have the winbind part up and running ok, getent group and passwd both list the domain users and groups, however chown and chgrp both fail when I try and use a domain account... what have I done wrong?
[21:48] <RoyK> aBs0lut30: using idmapd?
[21:48] <aBs0lut30> yeah
[21:48] <RoyK> configured to map to local users with the same username?
[21:50] <aBs0lut30> havent changed any of the idmapd config... so its just out of the box, smb.conf has the uid and gid ranges setup though
[21:55] <RoyK> aBs0lut30: google for it - you need to configure it to map local users to the domain - and the local users must exist
[21:55]  * RoyK is off for some sleep
[22:06] <queso> I have an ubuntu virtual machine in esx, installed.  I want to do a fresh install over it with the .iso again.  I have the boot order correct (CD-ROM, hard disk) in the BIOS, but it keeps booting into the OS instead of off the CD-ROM .iso.  Any idea why?
[22:10] <queso> ha, nevermind
[22:27] <bencc>  how can I see how many file descriptor a user uses?
[22:27] <bencc> I'm running a network stress test from a terminal and I want to see how many file descriptors the user use
[22:27] <patdk-lap> the user? or system?
[22:27] <patdk-lap> I should hope you turned off the limits for the user
[22:29] <patdk-lap> maybe, lsof -n -u user | wc -l
[22:30] <bencc> patdk-lap: it gives me 4531
[22:30] <bencc> but ulimit -n gives me 1024
[22:30] <bencc> how can that be?
[22:30] <patdk-lap> ulimit is per process
[22:30] <patdk-lap> how many different processes are there?
[22:31] <bencc> 1
[22:31] <patdk-lap> heh? you can't even login with 1 process
[22:31] <bencc> it's an erlang program that uses erlang processes
[22:31] <bencc> so how can I see how many file descriptors a specific proc is using?
[22:32] <patdk-lap> man lsof
[22:32] <bencc> thanks
[23:10] <Lenhix> Hello. Which package provides /etc/init.d/saslauthd? Seems it's not libsasl2-modules
[23:10] <Lenhix> Perhaps sasl2-bin?
[23:36] <hallyn> Lenhix: have you tried 'dpkg -S /etc/init.d/saslauthd'?
[23:37] <hallyn> (i don't have it installed so can't trivially check myslef)
[23:40] <hallyn> (but src package shows it is in fact sasl2-bin)
[23:40] <flowbee> how can i find out the VERSION of a particular package... i.e. redis-server
[23:40] <flowbee>  the version it would have installed.. (considering whether or not to install from source)
[23:41] <lifesf> Hi,.. i've been looking around on the net and have not managed to find an answer that would help me understand what I haven't done right yet... I am trying to access ftp on a fresh LAMP... before even checking if i had proftpd installed (since i could not manage to get access via ftp:// ) i tried installing it and ended up install proftd-basic or whatever that is... now i have that much
[23:41] <lifesf> more on the server and still don't know how to access my ftp... oh and i do have webmin installed and swat now (i thought i could just go through there to trade my files) and still neither i can actually use
[23:45] <lifesf> I think i've found a temporary solution,.. after hours of research .. 2min after writing this... through webmin, a sharing button via windows
[23:46] <lifesf> nope still doesn't work
