RoAkSoAxkirkland: yes I'm using your new patch from paste00:54
kirklandRoAkSoAx: sweet00:54
RoAkSoAxkirkland: i think i just found another bug00:57
kirklandRoAkSoAx: okay?00:58
kirklandRoAkSoAx: whatcha got?00:58
RoAkSoAxkirkland: ok, so wlan0 is the one who has ip addr from the network00:58
RoAkSoAxwhile br0 is the bridge for eth000:59
RoAkSoAxthat i'm not using atm00:59
kirklandRoAkSoAx: ruh roh00:59
RoAkSoAxbut when I run this: awk 'END {print $1}' /proc/net/route00:59
kirklandRoAkSoAx: hmm00:59
RoAkSoAxI get br0 as the interface, instead of wlan000:59
kirklandRoAkSoAx: hmm01:00
RoAkSoAxkirkland: this is how ip route sh shows:01:00
RoAkSoAxdefault via 192.168.1.254 dev wlan0  proto static01:00
RoAkSoAxdefault dev br0  scope link  metric 100301:00
kirklandRoAkSoAx: which interface makes most sense here?01:00
RoAkSoAxkirkland: in my case wlan0 as is the one who is really working and if I would like it to work out of the box it wouldn't01:01
RoAkSoAxkirkland: but maybe it is a corner case01:01
kirklandRoAkSoAx: hmm, this is a tough one01:01
RoAkSoAxkirkland: but giving a second though, let's just not worry about it just yet cause we just need to ensure it grabs a default route interface01:02
RoAkSoAxkirkland: and in my cause, I have 2 default routes, which should be avoided01:02
RoAkSoAxkirkland: and if this comes as a bug with someone having multiple interfaces, then we can deal with it, unless, we ask a debconf question01:03
RoAkSoAxkirkland: so we could just set the defaults the way you did it right now... but still asking the user whether we should keep that address or change it for another one, resolving the issue of having to deal with multiple interfaces on which two of them might have been misconfigured as default routes01:04
RoAkSoAxkirkland: cause otherwise it just works well01:10

airtonixif i followed this guide to creating a self signed cert for development purposes only, do i need to add more hostnames to the cert if they are just subdomains ?05:05
airtonixhttp://www.tc.umn.edu/~brams006/selfsign.html05:05
airtonixstrange, if i $ mount --bind source target then add target to /etc/exports as /exports/target and mount from a client i can see the contents of target on the server, but if i use a equiv mount command from fstab the contents of target are hidden06:02

jits1998hello10:23
kickarhey guys can someone help me to install php 5.2 and php 5.3 , so I can have both on the same machine?11:18
sorenNo.11:26
koolhead11soren, heh11:29
kickaris it possible at all ?11:31
sorenno11:31
sorenIf it were, someone could help you.11:32
koolhead11kickar, why would someone do that?11:33
qman__it is technically possible, but would require two separate web servers compiled from scratch in their own segregated areas11:33
qman__which is definitely not a supported solution11:33
kickarI found some howtos and tried but no luck11:33
kickarI have a couple of sites that returns error in php 5.#11:33
kickar5.311:33
sorenFix them.11:34
kickaris there a solution for that ?11:34
soren5.2 isn't supported.11:34
kickarone of the apps that I am using is openx, and I hardly can rewrite their code11:35
zulthen its a bad app11:37
qman__5.2 to 5.3 isn't a major leap11:37
qman__not like php4 to php511:37
qman__some stuff broke, but it's not a complete rewrite type of fix11:37
qman__if the package STILL isn't updated for 5.3, I wouldn't want to run it anyway11:38
kickari tried to install php 5.2 from source but couldn't get it to run anyway11:38
qman__as others have mentioned, 5.2 isn't supported11:39
qman__I'm talking about your web app11:39
qman__fix it yourself, complain to the authors, or find a different app11:39
qman__those are the best solutions11:39
koolhead11kickar, i doubt that would be a major issue. Openx is a well known ad-server IMHO11:43
jkakarI have an Upstart init script for my application, which depends on PostgreSQL... I can't seem to figure out how to make it start on boot, after PostgreSQL has started... any ideas/pointers?11:45
koolhead11kickar, you can also try #openx :P11:45
kickarthanks11:46
sorenjkakar: I forget... Has postgresql been upstartified?11:46
jkakarI tried looking in the Upstart Cookbook and also Googling... but to no avail.11:46
jkakarsoren: Nope, it hasn't.11:46
jkakarsoren: At least not on 10.04, which is the environment I'm using.11:46
jkakarAs much as Upstart is cool it's also a massive pain in the ass.  It'd be nice if we had one init system for everything.11:48
jkakarOne that was easy to debug for bonus points. :)11:48
koolhead11jkakar, +1 :D11:48
jkakarOkay, I found a solution.11:56
jkakarI was using 'start on started network' before and it wasn't starting at all... now I'm using 'start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo)'.11:57
sorenjkakar: Yeah, that's a fairly common pattern.11:58
jkakarThere's a race with PostgreSQL, but we're using 'respawn' and our application does a start-up check to make sure it can connect to the database... if it can't, it bails... it gets restarted and eventually PostgreSQL is up so things work.11:58
jkakarA but ugly, but it works.11:58
jkakarsoren: I don't understand why 'start on started network' didn't work, though.11:58
sorenNot sure.11:59

BrixSathello im trying to boot a live cd on a pc with disk problems, how can i disable ubuntu to check disk errors?15:11
BrixSatso i can recover something15:11
luiteis there a customized selinux ubuntu policy available from somewhere, something that's a bit more usable (that allows sshd to run /bin/bash for example...)15:28
jMCgBrixSat: why would a live cd do that?15:30
jMCgluite: AppArmor :)15:30
hallynluite: i'm hoping to get to that soon in the ubuntu policy.  fel free to fix it if you can15:34
hallynthere is an ssh module, so it is a bug15:34
luitehallyn: I'm still investigating whether to use apparmor or selinux, don't have experience with customizing profiles for either.15:36
hallynoh, then stick with aa - supported :)15:36
sommerI have some time to do some iso testing... how much of that is automated?  just don't want to waste my time double checking something that isn't needed :-)15:36
luiteI need something that lets some daemon change its own security context (looks like both can do that) to something safe enough for execution of arbitrary code uploaded by users15:39
luiteapparmor policies look a bit easier to make15:41
hallynluite: seccomp?  :)15:42
luitehallyn: nah that's too limited, the code still needs some file access, just very limited (no network though)15:42
hallynput it in empty netns15:44
hallynthen aa for file access15:44
jdstrandluite: for apparmor, you might be interested in http://wiki.apparmor.net/index.php/Documentation, specifically http://wiki.apparmor.net/index.php/Pam_apparmor_example15:45
jdstrandluite: iirc, there is some stuff with changehat for ssh. you could ask in #apparmor on oftc for more info on either15:45
luiteah thanks, was already reading the first link, but the example looks instructive :)15:47
duliHow do I know if a service is permanently on, meaning it will be started after reboot?15:47
luiteare there major differences between selinux and apparmor in what can be defined in policies?15:49
jamespagehey sommer: take a look here - http://jenkins.qa.ubuntu-uk.org/view/oneiric-server/16:01
jamespagethis is what is currently automated.16:02
sommerjamespage: ah sweet16:02
jamespagethat said its nice to have manual tests as well as they do (sometimes) pickup UI issues.16:02
ScottKjamespage: How does one get additional tests added to that?16:39
jamespageScottK: well to start with the preseed and the tests need to be developed and integrated into the ubuntu-server-iso-testing project (see http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-server-iso-testing)16:42
SpamapSsommer: o/ !16:42
sommerSpamapS: hello hello :-)16:42
ScottKjamespage: I was thinking of seeing if we could get some Kubuntu tests added in there.16:42
jamespageI'm hoping to fine some time this cycle to make it a bit easier as at the moment it requires the project to be re-build and re-installed on all of the test nodes16:42
SpamapSsommer: BTW, the RAID1 tests aren't automated, so that would be a good one to do. :)16:42
sommerSpamapS: working on that now actually... for i386 anyway16:43
SpamapSsweet!16:43
ScottKjamespage: If I aim a Kubuntu/QA oriented person at you, could you help them get set up?16:43
jamespagethat would be a good use case - jibel has done alot of work automating the desktop and alternate ISO install testing using the same framework16:43

kirklandRoAkSoAx: hiya16:57
kirklandRoAkSoAx: would you mind releasing/uploading cobbler sometime soon-ish?16:57
RoAkSoAxkirkland: howdy! yeah I wanna do that right now... I'm gonna dd the debconf stuff later... just finishing 1 minor powernap thingy16:59
kirklandRoAkSoAx: sweet16:59
kirklandRoAkSoAx: regarding powernap... i had something i wanted to ask you about16:59
RoAkSoAxkirkland: shoot16:59
kirklandRoAkSoAx: i'm wondering if it ever makes sense to run powernap in a virtual machine17:00
kirklandRoAkSoAx: i'm guessing "no", except for our own testing purposes17:00
RoAkSoAxkirkland: I actually though about it and wasw trying to find its uses17:00
RoAkSoAxkirkland: the only thing that I came up with is that it will serve as a monitoring system to pretty much poweroff a VM whenever it was not needed17:01
kirklandRoAkSoAx: i bet it'll have a very minimal impact on the host17:01
kirklandRoAkSoAx: hmm, yeah17:01
RoAkSoAxkirkland: cause in terms of power savings, doesn't really make any sense (specially using pm-powersave)17:01
uvirtbotNew bug: #791410 in apache2 (main) "Extra Apache instances not started on boot" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/79141017:01
kirklandRoAkSoAx: anyway, I was thinking we should have a check, and if not explicitly enabled, I think we should disable powernap if we can tell we're running in a virtual machine17:01
kirklandRoAkSoAx: at which point, I'd like to make orchestra-client recommend powernap17:02
kirklandRoAkSoAx: such that orchestra-managed clients are running powernap in powersave mode by default17:02
RoAkSoAxkirkland: yeah... I guess we could have a pre-start in the upstart script that actually checks that17:03
kirklandRoAkSoAx: yeah, that sounds good17:03
kirklandRoAkSoAx: how do we tell if we're running in a vm, though?  is there a common function we can use17:04
RoAkSoAxkirkland: that's the problem :).., might there be anything under /proc that tells us that?17:05
kirklandRoAkSoAx: hacky, but there's /proc/cpuinfo17:05
kirklandRoAkSoAx: i swear there was a new tool that did this ...17:06
kirklandRoAkSoAx: maybe facter?17:06
RoAkSoAxnegronjl: ^^ can facter tell us if we are running in a VM?17:06
negronjlRoAkSoAx: no but, you can use fact-add ( facter-customfacts-plugin ) to add a fact to that effect.17:07
RoAkSoAxnegronjl: ok thanks17:07
kirklandRoAkSoAx: yeah, facter17:07
smoserjamespage, around ?17:07
jamespagesmoser: yep17:07
RoAkSoAxkirkland: but, if we use facter, would it make sense to add the check logic to the upstart job?17:07
kirklandRoAkSoAx: sudo apt-get install facter17:08
kirklandRoAkSoAx: facter17:08
smoserwe need test of oneiric17:08

negronjlRoAkSoAx: ie: fact-add vm true17:08
zulkirkland: im going to be doing an upload for cobbler on friday17:08
negronjlkirkland:  virtual is also used on EC2/UEC so it can be confusing17:08
jamespagesmoser: right - I'll get it setup to execute then :-)17:08
kirklandzul: okay17:08
smoserJAMES PAGE17:08
kirklandnegronjl: right17:08
kirklandnegronjl: no, it already has support for virtual17:09
kirklandnegronjl: we just need to consume that17:09
kirklandRoAkSoAx: my only concern with doing it in upstart is that it's kinda slow17:09
kirklandRoAkSoAx: (takes 0.4s here)17:09
negronjlkirkland:  the problem with virtual is that it won't tell you whether it is in a VM or in the cloud17:09
kirklandRoAkSoAx: that said, i think it's the right way to solve this17:09
kirklandnegronjl: we don't care about that17:10
negronjlkirkland: ok17:10
kirklandnegronjl: we just want to know if we're running in a vm, or on physical hw17:10
kirklandnegronjl: so that we can conditionally start powernapd, or not if we're in a vm17:10
RoAkSoAxkirkland: yeah that's what I was thinking but other than that the check would make sense17:10
kirklandRoAkSoAx: looks like it's in main17:10
kirklandRoAkSoAx: so we can depend on it17:10
kirklandRoAkSoAx: okay, i like it;  you want to hack that into powernap's upstart, or should I/17:11
RoAkSoAxkirkland: but, if we add that we can cause that powernap will never start in a VM if I want it to, if I'm using poweroff as action_method17:11
kirklandRoAkSoAx: right, we should allow for an override17:11
RoAkSoAxkirkland: or in the daemon itself17:12
kirklandRoAkSoAx: or you could just edit the upstart script locally17:12
RoAkSoAxkirkland: something like "if vm and action_method is powersave, kill daemon"17:12
kirklandRoAkSoAx: hmm, i was thinking "if vm and not vm_override then don't start daemon (exit true)"17:13
RoAkSoAxkirkland: ok, we'll have to document that though!17:13
kirklandRoAkSoAx: sure17:13

ilyaI'm running 11.0418:46
ilyaAll help is very much appreciated :) Thank you18:48
adam_gis openstack known to be working on oneiric? i noticed yesterday nova-manage was broken and still is today18:51
evilsushiwhat are you guys using for a iptables frontend? anyone using shorewall?18:55
evilsushijust wanted to get some thoughts on what everyone in here may be using.18:55
ilyaCan anyone help me out with getting the cloud/node talking to one another in a private network with a switch?18:58
sommerevilsushi: ufw is pretty great for servers... it's host based though18:59
guntbertevilsushi: I tried ufw and shorewall - liked shorewall better18:59
evilsushihost based?19:00
evilsushiexplain.19:01
evilsushiguntbert: what did you like about shorewall?19:01
evilsushithe idea of zones for the network interfaces seems kinda "neat".19:01
evilsushiare you using shorewall with these type of features?19:01
evilsushisommer: does ufw have the idea of a config file?19:02
guntbertevilsushi: I had the task to provide a very tightly closed router - and it was easier accomplished (for me) with shorewall (I better understood its concept than that of ufw)19:03
ilyasilly uni internet19:05
ilyahere is my ifconfig output for server/node: http://pastie.org/2004371, Am I supposed to add the dns ip to the interfaces file?19:06
sommerevilsushi: host based meaning not using the server to transfer traffic... ufw doesn't have a config file exactly, but integrates with some packages like samba to open the necessary ports19:07
sommerevilsushi: if you need to setup a router something like shorewall is probably better suited than ufw19:07
sommerevilsushi: ufw can be used though, but may require more work :-)19:08
sw0rdfishwhen I ssh'd into my vps it said i have mail, lol how do i check that?19:09
guntbertsw0rdfish: type mail (one way, install and use alpine is another)19:12
sw0rdfishyep i used my imagination and just typed mail19:12
sw0rdfishthanks guntbert :)19:13
guntbertsw0rdfish: :) pine aka alpine is my preferred mail client on CLI19:14
sw0rdfishi'll install it now19:14
ilyacan anyone see me?19:14
genii-aroundilya: We can see what you type, yes19:15
ilyagenii-around: great :) now if only they could have acknowledged that :) Thank you for doing that19:16
sw0rdfishwow guntbert thanks alpine is pretty cool19:23
sw0rdfishlisten is there a program or just a way to download stuff into my vps19:24
sw0rdfishvia http links19:24
sw0rdfishbut well i guess wget will have to do it...19:24
guntbertsw0rdfish: you're welcome :-)  - w3m is apretty web browser, wget for direct download19:24
sw0rdfishw3m19:25
sw0rdfisha cli web browser?19:25
sw0rdfishnice19:25
sw0rdfishi think i'll install it19:25
sw0rdfishi'll install webmin too....it looks cool19:25
guntbertsw0rdfish: of course :), and while you are installing: take screen too  - no, don't use webmin19:25
guntbert!webmin19:25
ubottuwebmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.19:25
sw0rdfishoh :o19:26
sw0rdfishaww damn!19:26
sw0rdfishi loved their screenshots19:26
sw0rdfishin their website19:26
sw0rdfish:(19:26
sw0rdfishit seemed like a cool program to handle your server via gui stuff19:26
sw0rdfishvia web-based gui server thingy19:26
sw0rdfishbut oh well19:26
sw0rdfishis there something like it out there good with ubuntu?19:27
guntbertwell, the *screenshots* won't hurt anything :)19:27
sw0rdfishis there something like it out there good with ubuntu?19:27
guntbertsw0rdfish: not to my knowledge19:27
sw0rdfishguntbert: i'ma google it, :)19:27
sw0rdfishwhile i'm installing it take screen? what ya mean by that guntbert19:28

guntbertsw0rdfish: please don't crosspost across ubuntu channels, and take it easy on the <enter> key - especially in #ubunutu19:31
RoAkSoAxkirkland: cool, thanks!19:32
sw0rdfishlol ok19:32
sw0rdfishi thought they're different channels, but no big deal...19:32
frewsxcvi'm installing ubuntu server and it's asking me what i want to install. what is "Basic Ubuntu Server"19:33
sw0rdfishwhats with irc channels and enter key, can they really get hurt with it19:33
guntbertsw0rdfish: they are, but some helpers read both (and some more...)19:33
guntbert!enter19:33
ubottuPlease try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!19:33

smoserjamespage, still around ?20:19
smoserhttp://jenkins.qa.ubuntu-uk.org/view/oneiric-ec2/job/oneiric_server_ec2/1/ what does red mean ?20:20
osmosisall of a sudden out of nowhere my server started having major IO issues. related to any updates?20:21
osmosisMy io times dropped without any detectable cause.  system reboot seems to have fixed.  bug?20:39
jamespagesmoser: well it means that something did not happen according to plan20:39
jamespagefor example a) server did not start-up correctly first time and had to be rebooted.20:39
jamespageb) unable to run tests for some reason20:39
smoser...20:39
smosercloud-config failed across the board20:41
smoserbut i dont know why20:41
smoserie, please help, jamespage20:42
jamespageERROR:root:Something bad happened Unable to execute in-instance tests.20:42
uvirtbotNew bug: #791522 in quagga (main) "Debconf really_stop default value break unattended upgrades" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/79152220:42
smoserwhere do you see that?20:45
smoserah... it looks like our udev friend is much more common now20:47
jamespagehmmm - it would appear that executing the in-instance tests results in a non zero return code20:47
jamespagethat message is at the bottom of the log in all of the cloud init tests I've looked at so far.20:48
smoseri think that the instances are not coming up with networking20:48
smoserhttp://jenkins.qa.ubuntu-uk.org/view/oneiric-ec2/job/oneiric_server_ec2/1/ARCH=amd64,REGION=ap-southeast-1,STORAGE=instance-store,TEST=simple-user-data,label=ubuntu-server-ec2-testing/artifact/None/amd64/m1.large/instance-store/i-793b8f2c/268a2649-0f8c-4a6b-aa66-621243928a07-running.console.txt20:48
smoseryeah.20:48
smoserwell, that is good that it is more reproducible20:48
jamespageyep - there is alot of that20:50
jamespageeven if a reboot fixes that it will cause a test failure = red blob20:50
smoserwell, thats good20:51
smoser"reboot fixes my problem" isn't really ok here20:51
smoser:)20:51
jamespagereally? and I though servers just not starting was normal :-)20:52
jamespageI think the other issue might be a bit of a bug in the framework20:52
jamespageall of the cloud-init tests add a ppa - which does not have oneiric content20:53
jamespageapt-get update might return a non-zero20:53
sorenIt certainly will.20:53
* soren had this problem on his first oneiric test box20:53
jamespagewould that cause the calling script to return non-zero as well?  it does not use '-e' so will not fail20:56
jamespagebah - thats definately the problem20:58
jamespagesmoser - so that looks like a change in return code for something called during the in-instance tests - we can make that script a bit more rugged20:59
jamespageI want to change it so it runs out-of-band from Jenkins anyway20:59
smoserah...21:00
smoseryeah, the ppa will screw things up.21:00
smosersuck21:00
smoserwhat ppa is it?21:00
smoseri will add a oneiric so it doesn't fail21:00
smoserwe should assert that the ppa is sane21:00
jamespagehttp://jenkins.qa.ubuntu-uk.org/view/oneiric-ec2/job/oneiric_server_ec2/1/ARCH=amd64,REGION=eu-west-1,STORAGE=ebs,TEST=cloud-config,label=ubuntu-server-ec2-testing/artifact/tests/cloud-config/ud-cloudconfig-01.txt21:01
jamespagehmm - prob should have tiny url'ed that one21:02
sidneismoser, speaking of ppa, do you know which ppa can i find the lts-backport kernels in? i suspect kernel-ppa it is, but the description says 'daily builds'21:02
jamespagethats the cloud-config21:02
h4lfl1nghow do i check if two computers are talking to one another over a private network using a switch?21:02
smosersidnei, don't knwo personally. i think i did the same google as you once.21:02
|rt|h4lfl1ng: need more information to answer for certain especially if there are more than one route between the hosts etc21:04
|rt|h4lfl1ng: but traceroute should show you the path that the traffic is taking if any routers are involved21:04
|rt|h4lfl1ng: if it's only one hop then you can assume that both computers are on the same broadcast domain....but not necessarily the same switch if that's what you're looking for21:05
=== erichammond1 is now known as erichammond
h4lfl1ng_|rt|: the second isn't getting an internet connection, but it should through the first right?21:07
h4lfl1ng_the server is connected to the internet and switch, and the other pc is connected to switch only21:08
h4lfl1ng_|rt|: what other information would you need?21:08
|rt|only if the first is setup to route the traffic21:08
jamespagesmoser: interestingly the instances of the udev issue seem to be isolated to instance-store instance rather than ebs21:09
jamespageor at least it seems much worse in those tests21:09
smoserso faster local disk21:09
jamespageebs is faster than instance-store?21:10
h4lfl1ng_|rt|:should ping work to check if there is a connection between the two machines?21:11
|rt|h4lfl1ng_: yes...assuming they are in the same subnet you should be able to ping them21:13
h4lfl1ng_|rt|:they are in the same subnet 255.255.255.0, but the second machine has a bridge, which shouldn't matter right?21:15
h4lfl1ng_|rt|: and the 2nd also has it's gateway set as the 1st's eth1 ip21:15
h4lfl1ng_but they don't ping21:16
zertyuhello there21:19
zertyuhow to check system performance remotely ?21:19
|rt|h4lfl1ng_: I don't think the bridge would matter as it's essentially a switch21:20
_Neytiri_how to i install updates via cmd line?21:20
|rt|h4lfl1ng_: I would check the firewalls to make sure you're not blocking pings21:21
zertyuapt-get update _Neytiri_21:22
zertyuhow to check system performance remotely ?21:23
zertyuis that possible ?21:23
|rt|zertyu: are you looking for monitoring and alerting?21:25
zertyulet me explain the problem what i got, i got small web server i need to upgrade hardware in case  there is lots of usage, i don't know what i have to do21:25
zertyuto see when i have to upgrade the hardware, as that thing depends on visitors usage21:25
|rt|zertyu: sar can collect data locally but I tend to prefere munin, cacti, or Zenoss21:26
|rt|I've also heard good things about Zabbix21:26
zertyusorry i don't get you21:26
zertyuwhat i need exactly ?21:27
zertyudo you understand what i mean ?21:27
|rt|http://munin.ping.uio.no/21:28
|rt|is that what you're looking for21:28
zertyui need to upgrade hardware depending the visiotors21:28
zertyuwhere we don't know about the number visitors will come to my site21:29
|rt|If I understand what you're looking for is that you want to monitor usage and trending data so that you know when you need to upgrade your server(s)21:30
zertyuyes i simply want to check my system performence21:30
zertyuregulary21:30
zertyuand to be notify in case needing to upgrade the hardware21:31
zertyuis that possible ?21:31
|rt|sure using any of the packages I mentioned earlier21:31
|rt|sysstat package includes sar which will collect data on the computer21:32
h4lfl1ng_|rt|: this is my ifconfig info for both machines: http://pastie.org/200527721:32
zertyuwich one is the best  ?21:32
|rt|but munin, zenoss, cacti, zabbix, icigna, nagios will all do this sort of thing too21:33
=== marrusl is now known as marrusl_afk
|rt|zertyu: depends on your needs some of those I mentioned are monitoring and alerting solutions others just collect and display trending data21:33
zertyui tell you the needs21:33
zertyujust only want to notify about my system performence21:34
zertyuin case of lots of demands21:34
donnieI just installed Ubuntu server 11.04 on Dell Inspiron E1505. Do i have to install bcmwl-kernel-source like i do in Ubuntu to setup my wifi?21:37
zertyuso which is the best ?21:37
|rt|zertyu: I don't think there is a "best" but if you want alerting and monitoring you'll need to use Zenoss, Zabbix, icinga, or nagios21:39
|rt|zertyu: cacti may have added some alerting though21:39
|rt|Zenoss is pretty heavy though so I don't know that I woudl use it to monitor one host21:39
|rt|icigna or nagios would be my choice21:39
|rt|but you'll need plugins to get the trending data if you want to collect that as they are less integrated than Zenoss and Zabbix in that area21:40
|rt|h4lfl1ng_: what are the frame errors on machine 2 eth021:42
zertyujust find xymon what do you think about that ?21:42
|rt|zertyu: looks similar to icigna and cacti but looks unmaintained if the latest release was a couple years ago21:44
|rt|zertyu: nagios is in ubuntu's repo21:44
hggdhzul, is the test rig available?21:45
zertyuwell is it possible to monitoring icinga by iphone 4 ?21:46
|rt|zertyu: I believe so....icinga is just a fork from nagios...think of it as a more open nagios with a nicer web UI21:47
h4lfl1ng_|rt|: where do you see the errors? by the way, i just got them talking, but now to figure out how to route the internet connection to the second21:48
zertyuis it flexible for managing tasks ?21:49
zertyui don't have any experience with monitoring services21:49
zertyuis it flexible for managing tasks ?21:49
|rt|h4lfl1ng_: look under the 2nd machine eth0 ifconfig output21:50
|rt|zertyu: what do you mean by tasks?21:50
zertyuadministrative task21:51
zertyuadministration task21:51
|rt|zertyu: most monitoring and alerting systems are very flexible to the point that they can be somewhat complex to setup21:51
h4lfl1ng_|rt|: oh, i see it now. It's no longer there on the machine. How would i check what the error is anyways?21:52
zertyuwell icinga is it easy for setup ?21:53
|rt|I don't have any experience with it so no idea21:55
|rt|I would assume that it's similar nagios though which is a bit picky about it's configuration files which are not always intuitive in the way the different config files interact with each other21:56
h4lfl1ng_|rt|: how would i route the traffic with a switch, i found the guide for a system with crossover cable..but this is slightly different. I'll have to do it to 7 other machines21:56
|rt|but perhaps icinga has moved most config stuff to the web ui21:56
zertyuthanks lrtl21:57
|rt|h4lfl1ng_: have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing21:58
|rt|h4lfl1ng_: at the very least you'll need to enable ipv4 forwarding and setup ip masquerading (NAT)22:00
|rt|h4lfl1ng_: but why use ubuntu as your gateway?  I tend to use something more geared towards that task like pfSense22:01
h4lfl1ng_|rt|: and that would be enough to run apt-get?22:02
|rt|pfSense is freebsd based so no22:02
h4lfl1ng_|rt|: oh, it's a distro..ll, i'm creating a cloud setup, this is only temporary. Maybe later we could have a dedicated firewall/router22:03
|rt|well you can run pfSense as a virtual machine if you set up the virtual networking part correctly22:05

earthmeLonJust installed postfix on my new server.  My old server had postfixadmin and used mysql for alias and such.  I am trying to figure out how to get postfix to use the mysql databases that i've imported and such.  Anybody familiar with this?23:48
luiteearthmeLon: you should probably look at /etc/postfix/main.cf from your old server and look for the mysql: type maps23:52
earthmeLonThanks luite23:52
luite(it's been a while since I configured postfix, and I don't know the specifics of postfixadmin, so things might have changed a bit in the meantime)23:52
luiteearthmeLon: anyway these mysql maps refer to other config files that describe how to connect to the database and which column's to use23:53
JanCthere will be separate config files that define the mapping to the database too23:53
