[02:55] <WeisseWaschbaer> hey... I opened visudo and it came out with a nano interface.... how do i make it use the vi's or vim's interface?
[02:59] <shauno> WeisseWaschbaer: it should honor the VISUAL envar
[03:08] <WeisseWaschbaer> shauno: i feel helpless on nano
[03:11] <shauno> WeisseWaschbaer: heh, I understand.  if you do something like sudo EDITOR=vim visudo, it should wise up
[03:12] <shauno> (and may be worth adding EDITOR to your environment, so that everything knows you're not at home in nano)
[03:14] <WeisseWaschbaer> shauno: thanks
[04:18] <yakster> hello all...
[04:18] <yakster> anyone here good with /var/www?
[04:18] <yakster> seem to have an issue with case sensitive URL's
[04:20] <yakster> ok....... quiet...
[04:21] <yakster> ok....gone...
[04:21] <yakster> guess everyone is sleeping...
[04:51] <chrislabeard> how can I remove zentyal?
[06:09] <DormantOden> Hello, when I transfer large files (1GB) to my raid 5 they become slightly corrupted. Does anyone have ANY ideas as to why this might be happening?
[06:09] <DormantOden> Its stressing me out...
[06:20] <qman__> DormantOden, if your drives are 1TB+, you could be getting silent data corruption
[06:20] <qman__> it simply happens, you have to deal with it in other ways
[06:21] <qman__> make sure your drives check out first with the SMART data
[06:32] <Martyn> qman: Silent data corruption?  That's pretty rare...
[06:32] <Martyn> qman : Unless there's a known firmware defect in a specific drive...?
[06:33] <qman__> with today's drive sizes, it's actually pretty common
[06:33] <qman__> most people just don't notice
[06:34] <qman__> I've had a few video files suffer by it
[06:35] <qman__> though a consistent, reproduceable result would mean something else is going on
[06:40] <FernandoTertiary> hola, it appears since the recent update the destop environment has reverted to a more aged version
[06:58] <bazhang> FernandoTertiary, on a server?
[08:22] <FernandoTertiary> bazhang: the machine is operating Ubuntu 11.10
[08:23] <bazhang> FernandoTertiary, server has no desktop
[08:24] <FernandoTertiary> bazhang: the machine is using gnome 3
[08:28] <bazhang> FernandoTertiary, support for 11.10 is in #ubuntu+1 , at any rate.
[08:31] <FernandoTertiary> bazhang: it appears the to be operating 11.04 Natty Narwhal
[08:31] <bazhang> FernandoTertiary, not with gnome3 its not.
[08:31] <FernandoTertiary> though there was a recent update & the desktop reverted
[08:31] <bazhang> FernandoTertiary, unless you used the unsupported PPA.
[08:31] <FernandoTertiary> Natty Narwhal is not gnome 3 yet?
[08:32] <bazhang> nope
[08:33] <FernandoTertiary> what is the desktop environment specification for Natty Narwhal
[08:33] <FernandoTertiary> ?
[08:33] <bazhang> unity / classic  /  for server ---> nothing
[08:34] <FernandoTertiary> perhaps the unity was reverted to classic?
[08:34] <bazhang> FernandoTertiary, you installed server?
[08:35] <FernandoTertiary> just Natty Narwhal & the updates. The machine has been operating for months
[08:35] <bazhang> FernandoTertiary, so why ask in the -server channel?
[08:37] <FernandoTertiary> ah, forgive. was to the impression the server channel pertained the repository information
[08:37] <bazhang> FernandoTertiary, what does lsb_release -a say in the terminal
[08:38] <FernandoTertiary> No LSB modules are available.
[08:38] <FernandoTertiary> Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
[08:38] <FernandoTertiary> Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
[08:38] <FernandoTertiary> Release:	11.04
[08:38] <FernandoTertiary> Codename:	natty
[08:38] <bazhang> FernandoTertiary, and you installed gnome3?
[08:39] <FernandoTertiary> rather have researched gnome environments & supposed Ubuntu was using gnome 3
[08:40] <bazhang> okay, it's not. stay clear of the PPA for it.
[08:40] <xibalba> does anyone use ubuntu for opensips?
[08:41] <FernandoTertiary> xibalba: you mean "OpenSims"?
[08:41] <xibalba> negative, opensips, the call routing platform
[08:41] <FernandoTertiary> ah, comprehended *smiles*
[08:41] <xibalba> whats opensims?
[08:42] <xibalba> a video game?
[08:45] <FernandoTertiary> xibalba: kinda video gaming. OpenSims is a interactive metaverse community platform
[08:46] <FernandoTertiary> OpenSims is the opensource version for SecondLife type communities
[08:47] <xibalba> oh
[08:47] <xibalba> opensips is for voip stuff
[08:54] <FernandoTertiary> xibalba: phone service specifically, or phone line communications similar dsl, etc.?
[08:55] <FernandoTertiary> is voip specifically for just "voice" or potentially more?
[09:10] <xibalba> i want to use it for doing some call routing infront of freeswitch boxes and media relaying, so i can vitualize the freeswitch boxes.
[10:53] <Guest75493> Can you please help me setting up wifi on ubuntu server?
[10:54] <Dr4g> He guys, please help: root@AllTheBestBuys:/etc# mysql --user=root -p

[11:22] <oCean> ah, ok.

[14:08] <KGB_plague> hi all , is their a way to host a VPN service for a friend whos living in a city near by ? , he ping me 10ms , but when he tries to ping the game server i play in , he pings it 150ms which i ping it 30 , i want him to connect through me with a VPN connection so he can ping 30+10 = 40ms to that server. any idea?'s im using Ubuntu Gnome Desktop , is it compulsory to use ubuntu server for such situtation?
[14:25] <shauno> KGB_plague: nothing's compulsory.  you can install server components on desktop if you wish, and desktop components on server.  which you pick mostly changes what you get out of the box, not what you can do with it
[14:31] <KGB_plague> is their an APP to help me out shauno or should this be done by the hard way
[14:47] <shauno> KGB_plague: there may be an easy way.  I haven't found it yet :(
[14:56] <KGB_plague> shauno, then il idle here , if some1 may help , please PM me thanks , im off for some work il be back home in2hours
[15:06] <JamesG> hey guys
[15:06] <JamesG> looking for a little help?
[15:08] <JamesG> Where would the HDD be mounted in an openvz set up?
[15:08] <JamesG> I can't find it anywhere
[15:40] <Stava> I already asked this in #debian but im actually on a ubuntu server so i'll paste it here
[15:40] <Stava> I want to append the output of "df -h" to syslog in my cron job, so that it will be sent to my mail by logwatch (i have zz-disk_space disabled). How should I do this?
[15:43] <Stava> I tried "df -h | logger" but then each line will appear as a separate entry in /var/log/syslog
[16:25] <RoyK> Stava: I'd recommend using something like nagios/icinga instead, so that you don't need to read the logs all the time, but rather get an alert if something's wrong
[16:26] <RoyK> there are several tools out there to alert you when something goes wrong, reading daily emails to sort out server health was something people did in the ninetees
[16:29] <Stava> :O
[16:29] <Stava> I'll check those out then
[16:31] <RoyK> we're using icinga
[16:31] <RoyK> a nagios fork
[16:31] <Stava> How does it work?
[16:32] <RoyK> it schedules checks for all sorts of services and if one fails, it sends you an email
[16:32] <RoyK> basically
[16:32] <Stava> Kind of like tiger?
[16:33] <Stava> http://www.nongnu.org/tiger/
[16:33] <RoyK> that seems more like a security tool
[16:34] <RoyK> icinga/nagios has checks like check_disk to check for fill, check_tcp to probe tcp ports, check_http to check a webserver etc
[16:34] <RoyK> Stava: https://www.icinga.org/ <-- check the demo page
[16:34] <Stava> I will
[16:35] <RoyK> it also kees track on statistics, so that you can show your boss 99,lots% uptime etc :)
[16:36] <Stava> awesome
[16:36] <Stava> so this demo page is a web interface, thats a part of icinga i assume
[16:37] <RoyK> yes
[16:37] <Stava> which could run on apache?
[16:37] <RoyK> configuration is done in text files, the web gui is for viewing and some tweaks
[16:37] <RoyK> I think standard install is for apache, yes, but it could run on anything, really
[16:38] <Stava> could several servers share the same icinga interface?
[16:39] <RoyK> we have ~140 servers in our icinga install
[16:39] <Stava> impressive
[16:40] <Stava> i'll definitely try this out
[16:40] <RoyK> check out #icinga if you have specific questions about it - the standard install (apt-get ...) should give you a basic overview
[16:41] <RoyK> erm - seems icinga isn't in Lucid
[16:41] <RoyK> so either use nagios (same thing, only looks a bit crappier), or use a newer distro version, or build icinga from source (a bit more hassle, but it should work)
[16:42] <RoyK> I'd recommend using a dedicated machine for this, if you can spare one (an old pc should do fine). that way, the monitoring machine won't be affected if others die, so that it can monitor everything
[16:43] <Stava> Will I need some sort of client software on the other servers?
[16:43] <RoyK> depends what you want to check - for windows machines, nsclient++ is a good choice
[16:44] <RoyK> btw, seems there are packages here http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/i/icinga/
[16:45] <RoyK> for unix machines, I ususally just use ssh-based checks
[16:45] <RoyK> create a user 'icinga' (or something) on each machine, create ssh keys on the icinga box, copy those so you can ssh from the icinga user on the monitoring machine to the clients without a password, and then setup ssh-based checks
[16:47] <RoyK> otherwise, use NRPE - it's lighter and better for large setups with thousands of machines, but then again, it's another piece of software and ssh-based checks aren't that heavy - our icinga box sits spending about 3% cpu (on two cores)
[16:47] <RoyK> and that's with about 140 hosts and a total of 500 services
[16:47] <Stava> there are only 3 servers for now, but its supposed to be scalable
[16:48] <RoyK> for <= 100 servers, even an 5YO PC should do well
[16:48] <RoyK> it's rather light
[17:29] <RoyK> damn - I made an error on the wiki - isn't there a rollback possibility?
[17:55] <tmcneal> Hey all, question about the ubuntu server ec2 images.. was wondering how you all configure new ubuntu instances once you bring them online.. I know some other AMIs allow you to pass a script via the 'user-data' param when you start the instance, but it seems ubuntu AMIs don't support this
[17:56] <Daviey> tmcneal: they do.. you probably want to use cloud-init
[17:57] <Daviey> tmcneal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CloudInit
[17:57] <tmcneal> cool thanks

[18:15] <TuxBrother> what is so special about UEC?
[18:15] <TuxBrother> what is it? A web interface? Application Virtualisation? VDI?
[18:38] <Shapeshifter> How do I configure a new daemon to be run at boot? In my case it's vmware. start vmware says start: Unknown job: vmware although /etc/init.d/vmware exists and works. Any help?
[18:42] <StevenR> Shapeshifter: the vmware service isn't an upstart job, so the start/stop commands won't work. You can still add it to start on boot using update-rc.d
[18:45] <Shapeshifter> StevenR: mhh, I just realized that it does work. it was an unrelated problem
[18:46] <StevenR> ok
[20:08] <JoeCoder> I'm using the open source cloudfuse project to mount rackspace cloudfiles into a folder on my machine.  But after every reboot I must run "modprobe fuse" and "cloudfuse /mount/point".  What is the proper way of making these happen automatically?
[20:28] <KGB_plague> please PM me if theirs an APP to host a VPN server guys , my friend pings the game server that we play in 150ms , but I ping the game server 30ms , however my friend pings me 10ms from hes home to my home , so i would like to host a VPN server for him so he can be routed to me to join the game server with 40ms instead of 150ms ( 10ms to me + 30ms from me to game server = 40ms for him )
[20:28] <Devo-Kun> JoeCoder: /etc/modules has the names of modules to load at boot time. You can add fuse to there and then add a line to /etc/rc.local with your cloudfuse command
[20:46] <bhook> anyone around?
[21:25] <pmatulis> bhook: yes, there are 292 people in this channel
[21:28] <guntbert> pmatulis: after  3/4 hours that was not very convincing :-))
[22:06] <bhook> yeah... been a while since I heavily used IRC... I forgot the standard was to ask a question then check the logs a day later
[22:07] <Myrtti> lol
[22:08] <bhook> it seems that the official image in the UEC store is requiring a fsck run on first boot because the image was created so long ago. Would there be a way to get this corrected in the official image in the store?
[22:09] <Daviey> bhook: What image are you using?
[22:10] <bhook> 10.04 LTS out of the store
[22:10] <Daviey> bhook: what is the serial number?
[22:10] <bhook> hrm... let me check
[22:12] <bhook> grrr.... I hate this
[22:13] <Daviey> bhook: you probably want: https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/lucid/current/lucid-server-uec-amd64.tar.gz
[22:13] <bhook> I'm running Ubuntu in a VM rather than native on this laptop... everything is so much more difficult to do
[22:14] <bhook> Daviey: yeah, I know I can get more recent images
[22:14] <Daviey> bhook: I fear the image store isn't up to date.
[22:14] <bhook> Daviey: but... why?
[22:15] <bhook> I guess if the store is controlled by the Eucalyptus team then it isn't really ubuntu's problem
[22:15] <bhook> but it just seems silly to have everything out-of-date
[22:15] <Daviey> bhook: It's not controlled by euca, it's controlled by canonical.
[22:15] <bhook> The store is?
[22:15] <Daviey> yah
[22:16] <bhook> okay, then it makes even less sense why it is out of date
[22:18] <Daviey> bhook: The team that maintained the store was not the server team.  Raising a bug would help. :)
