twbpvscan is finding my LVM on it instead of sda (where it actually is)02:53
patdk-laptwb, that would be the intel soft-raid stuff02:59
patdk-lapyou must have raid enabled in the bios02:59
twbThanks, that's what I thought, but I couldn't google for the randomized string03:01
twbStupid hardware vendor.  He was specifically told not to ship with RAID on03:01

sparcHey there.  Are there compatibility libraries, like Redhat has, for programs that require older versions of libstdc++ ?03:44
sparcfor instance Vertitas Netbackup wanting libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.303:45
sparci tried symlinking that to libstdc++.so.6, but i get missing symbols03:45

twbsparc: NFI, but you have my sympathy :-(03:49
sparchaha :) thanks03:49
twbsparc: there are obsolete versions of packages in IIRC archive.ubuntu.com03:49
sparcVeritas was nice enough to drop 32-bit support in version 7, so i'm stuck with a 6, that doesn't work on ubuntu03:49
twbYou could try pulling shit out of there and dropping it in $PWD, then adding LDPATH thingies in front to deal with that03:50
sparccool, good deal03:50

ShapeshiftrAnyone there?06:22
ShapeshiftrI'm having installation issues with ubuntu 11.0406:22
Shapeshiftri loaded the iso onto a usb flash drive06:22
Shapeshiftrand when i try to install ubuntu onto my freshly wiped server, it just beeps and nothing happens.06:23
ShapeshiftrI'm literally at the install menu, and I hit enter on "Install Ubuntu on a Hard Disk"06:23
Shapeshiftranyone know?06:23
ChmEarlShapeshiftr, which installer did you use? the ISO isn't bootable via USB?06:29
Shapeshiftrthe Universal USB installer that the official site linked to.06:29
ShapeshiftrChmEarl: ^06:30
ChmEarlShapeshiftr, never tried that... I would debootstrap it06:30
ShapeshiftrWhat would that entail, ChmEarl?06:31
ChmEarlyou booted from bios?06:31
ShapeshiftrI guess so, because it doesn't recognize my HDD, apparently.06:32
ChmEarlmaybe change in the bios to legacy SATA06:32
ShapeshiftrThat might work, yeah.06:33
ShapeshiftrI've installed ubuntu on this computer before, but I might've reset some BIOS options at one point or another.06:33
ChmEarlShapeshiftr, if the disk controller has ahci set, that caused me trouble before06:35
ShapeshiftrYeah, when I was installing windows that was the big issue for me.06:35
ShapeshiftrIt's an IDE drive, and it looks like its recognizing it in bios.06:36
ChmEarlthen maybe the drive has meta data still there06:36
ChmEarlfrom raid06:36
Shapeshiftrnever raided it.06:37
Shapeshiftrit's a microatx setup, no room for 2 HDDs :\06:37
Shapeshiftrso bios recognizes it fine, but the only thing that the installer can do is go into rescue mode, where it stops at the disk choosing menu, not picking up an IDE HDD06:38
ChmEarlI would stare at the bios settings more06:38
Shapeshiftrhaha, bios is old and simple.06:38
ShapeshiftrI think I'm gonna try using 10.1006:40
Shapeshiftror 10.04, whatever the LTS is.06:40
twbBetween old/simple/broken and new/complicated/broken I will have the former, thanks :-{P06:43

raubvogelWhy is when I tell my 10.04LTS box to remove ssmtp it wants to remove request-tracker3.8 rt3.8-clients ssmtp?15:33
Jcook_5xDataanyone here know the about spf records? I add one but I am unsure if I should create separate record one for google apps and one for my local ip?15:34
joschiraubvogel: probably because rt requires some mta installed. see `aptitude why ssmtp`15:34
Jcook_5xDataor combine them like this "v=spf1 ip4:173.162.32.1 include:_spf.google.com +all"15:35
joschiJcook_5xData: do you ever send out mail from your own server?15:35
raubvogeljoschi, interesting. I tried to install msmtp and it did not replace ssmtp15:35
Jcook_5xDatayes15:35
joschiJcook_5xData: then you need to add its IP address15:35
joschiraubvogel: if you take a close look at the dependencies of request-tracker3.8, you'll see that it depends on mail-transport-agent (http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/mail-transport-agent)15:37
raubvogelBut it does not consider msmtp, which has more features than ssmtp, a valid mail-transport-agent15:37
joschiraubvogel: look at the link I provided15:38
Jcook_5xDatajoschi, I did that the 173.162.. address. I look on openspf.org but it does not say how to handle multipliable address that send on my behalf. do I need to create a separate record every address I have to get access to or have one record and string them together like above.15:39
joschiJcook_5xData: your syntax for the SPF record is correct as far as I see15:42
joschiJcook_5xData: just that +all is "disabling" spf effectively (see http://www.openspf.org/SPF_Record_Syntax#all)15:43
Jcook_5xDatacool thank. I was unsure and I did not want to disable our email. I will change it -all when i am done testing :)15:45

chieffancypantsDMKitsch: do the same to your /usr/share/phpmyadmin17:25
chieffancypantssudo chown www-data:www-access -R /usr/share/phpmyadmin17:26
PiciWhy do you need to modify phpmyadmin's files?17:26
DMKitschi just need to read them17:26
chieffancypantsthere's no read access, most likely17:26
DMKitschi have no access at all17:26
chieffancypantsthat command should fix it17:26
PiciNormally you don't need to access them directly, just your webserver does.17:27
DMKitschyes, my webserver is chucking a 40317:27
patdk-wkand when you change the user the webserver uses? :)17:27

genii-aroundDoes it say anything enlightening when you try?18:56
jimmy51_can i run a command that will uninstall every package I've installed since the original OS installation?19:46
jimmy51_i've got a lot of goofy stuff happening due to trying out a 3rd party samba/kerberos solution19:46
KillMeNowyou can try 'rm -fR /'19:47
KillMeNowbut seriously, don't do that19:47
jimmy51_that's throwing a lot of errors19:47
jimmy51_uh oh... i don't think that helped19:48
KillMeNowyou didn't seriously type that in did you?19:48
jimmy51_hehe, no.19:48
KillMeNow*whew*19:48
KillMeNowi was just messing with ya19:48
jimmy51_KillMeNow: likewise19:51
jimmy51_(messing with ya)19:51
KillMeNowmissed all that Jimmy51, apparently Pici was bent by my joke and kicked me19:51
guntbert!joke | KillMeNow19:52
ubottuKillMeNow: You might think your joke is funny, but you may confuse new users who follow your advice or irritate people who attempt to answer your question.19:52
chieffancypantsjimmy51_: there should be a record of each install you make in /var/lib/dpkg/info19:52
chieffancypantsif you know when you installed, you can weed out all the new packages since that time19:53
jimmy51_chieffancypants: ah... with some kind of date sort?19:53
chieffancypantsyeah19:53
chieffancypantsactually, here's a way to sort it19:54
chieffancypantsecho -e "State     \tLast change \t \tName" > PkgLog && ls -lsrt /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list | awk '{print $6"\t"$7"  "$8"\t"$9}' | sed -e "s/\/var\/lib\/dpkg\/info\///" -e "s/.list//" -e "s/^0\t/Removed \t/" -e "s/^[0-9]*\t/Installed\t/" >> PkgLog19:54
KillMeNowyou can use the -mtime +/-Days19:54
jimmy51_ls -lrt /var/lib/dpkg/info19:54
jimmy51_yikes that's long.19:54
jimmy51_chieffancypants: did you just type all that in on the fly?19:54
KillMeNowchieffancypants breaks out the mastery of regex19:54
chieffancypantshaha, no...I just found it19:55
jimmy51_it'll take me a bit to run that on the other machine19:56
chieffancypantsno ssh?19:56
DMKitschhello everyone19:57
jimmy51_chieffancypants: SWEET.    good list.  now i just need to write a bash script to loop through and auto remove.19:58
DMKitschdoes anybody mind going though how to set up a password protected directory in linux using apache?19:58
jimmy51_chieffancypants: there are absolutely never any spaces in a package name, right?19:58
chieffancypantsjimmy51_: hrrmm....not sure19:58
DMKitschanybody wishing to help?20:00
DMKitsch.20:01
DMKitschok bye20:02
genii-aroundToo bad, was just going to point him at http://www.sitedeveloper.ws/tutorials/htaccess.htm20:04
KillMeNowcourse if they googled first, they probably would have found their answer20:08
torturedsoulis there a live CD version of ubuntu-server20:20
torturedsouli want to run it from a usb stick20:20
torturedsoulwithout installing...20:20
koolhead17torturedsoul: you can always do that. Use UNetbootin ubuntu package and create a bootable pendrive via it. :)20:23
jimmy51_chieffancypants: good news... made a script that loops through the result file and is apt-get removing all of the packages i want..20:26
jimmy51_chieffancypants: i think i might have messed up though... apt-get remove -y doesn't remove .conf files, does it?20:27
jimmy51_i want them gone too... probably should have purged as well.20:27
pythonirc101I'm trying to configure the network on an ubuntu-server, and when i restart /etc/init.d/networking -- it says cant bring up eth021:22
pythonirc101any ideas what i might be missing...I did edit /etc/network/interfaces21:23
genii-aroundpythonirc101: Can you pastebin whats in that file now?21:23
pythonirc101genii-around: i cant...the machine is not connected21:25
pythonirc101when i do service networking start21:25
pythonirc101I get : Unable to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket21:25
pythonirc101No such file or directory21:25
pythonirc101something else wrong?21:26
genii-aroundpythonirc101: Have you tried instead: sudo initctl start networking21:26
pythonirc101ok, stupid me, forgot the sudo21:27
pythonirc101now it doesnt complain, but it wont connect to anything21:27
RoyKdamn - takes me more than five minutes to download a ripped movie - about time to upgrade my internet connection...21:27
pythonirc101or namelookup21:27
pythonirc101genii-around: how do i debug it?21:28
genii-aroundpythonirc101: Did you set eth0 to be some static IP in /etc/network/interfaces ? If so then you probably also need to specify gateway and nameserver there too21:28
pythonirc101this is what i did : auto eth0\n iface eth0 inet static\n address myip\n netmask xxx \n ... the numbers are correct as given by my system network admin21:29
guntbertpythonirc101: !pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces please21:31
genii-aroundpythonirc101: Additionally however, you probably need at least a line like: dns-nameservers 1.2.3.4          (but not those numbers)21:39
pythonirc101genii-around: the dns stuff i put in /etc/resolve.conf - nameserver xxx \n nameserver \n search xx.xx.xx21:43
pythonirc101interfaces looks correct to me, since when i restart everything seems normal21:43
pythonirc101but it wont connect for some reason21:43
genii-aroundpythonirc101: Can you ping whatever the gateway is supposed to be?21:43
pythonirc101When i boot i do get this warning udevd-work[121]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sda, 10) failed: No such file or directory...21:44
pythonirc101lemme ping21:44
pythonirc101cant ping gateway21:44
pythonirc101how do i know my wire is actually connected to eth0 and not eth1?21:45
genii-aroundmaybe ifconfig ... should see at least if there has been traffic on either21:45
pythonirc101got it, wrong wire connection! :)21:45
genii-aroundCool.21:46
pythonirc101any ideas on how to fix this and what this means : When i boot i do get this warning udevd-work[121]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sda, 10) failed: No such file or directory... ?21:46
pythonirc101I would like to setup raid on this machine. Are there any nice user-interfaces to create software raids in ubuntu-servers?21:48
kalle_pythonirc101 ubuntu installer?21:53
pythonirc101kalle_: I rerun the installer?21:53
pythonirc101there is no raid gui inside the server that i can install and use?21:53
kalle_tbh i never looked for one, but i guess u can rerun installer and exit after it has created the raid, mdadm will find the raid21:55
JanCpythonirc101: in theory you could use udisks remotely from your desktop21:56
JanCI think21:56
JanC(never tried it)21:56
pythonirc101installing udisks21:57
pythonirc101i wanted a gui21:58
JanCat least, GNOME disk utility has an option to connect to a remote system to manage it...21:58
pythonirc101any gui's for making RAIDs21:58
JanCnow, I'm not sure it supports RAID yet  ;)21:58
JanCanyway, I would suggets you use plain mdadm to create a software raid, it isn't all that difficult22:00
pythonirc101I created partitions on all my disks of type linux raid partitions22:09
pythonirc101then i try to create a raid using gnome utility and it tells me all of them are full?22:09
DMKitschhey22:10
DMKitschhow do i set up password protection on a apache server to a directory22:10
w00#apache? ;/22:11
genii-aroundDMKitsch: http://www.sitedeveloper.ws/tutorials/htaccess.htm is pretty comprehensive also22:11
pythonirc101JanC: how do i know what names to use with mdadm?22:11
pythonirc101I want to setup raid5 on 4 disks on my machine22:12
DMKitschthanks22:15
MACscri cant seem to be getting the following error when trying to update: W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 8AB767895ADC203722:30
MACscrare updates for maverick no longer available or what?22:31
jpdsMACscr: You added a PPA to your system and didn't add its GPG key to your APT keyring.22:33
MACscrjpds: i havent made any changes to this system for months and its just now popping up. If it was a ppa that i added, why isnt it mentioning the one that i added so i know what i need to fix?22:34
j3rothQuick question. Does Ubuntu Server support multiple remote connections to it? As in remote desktop sessions?22:35
jpdsj3roth: Are you thinking of LTSP?22:35
j3rothI looked into that, but maybe I am not understanding it. Does that give you the same functionality as Windows Server where I can remote into the box and it will spawn multiple X sessions?22:36
jpdsMACscr: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+question/6441822:37
jpdsj3roth: First, Ubuntu Server doesn't come with a desktop environment, but you can use things like SSH to remotely manage your system.22:37
j3rothright22:37
MACscrjpds: any key i try to add seems to time out. Is there  a certain port i need open in my firewall?22:38
jpdsMACscr: 11371.22:39
MACscrjpds: yep, that was the issue. Thanks22:40
