[01:57] Ah, wrong channel >_< sorry! === Guest28914 is now known as CrazyGir [04:27] anyone have virtualbox running on lucid? my dkms modules refuse to compile. [04:28] did you spank them? [04:29] well, i only dabble in dominating kernel modules.

[10:02] filesystem has errors on it ... but then i mount it using live cd ... e2fsck says that it's clean [10:07] don't mount it, just fsck it [10:08] e2fsck -f /dev/.... [10:10] patdk-lap, yes... tried that ... it still says "clean" [10:10] using -f? [10:10] patdk-lap, yes ... -fv [10:11] -f is suppost to make it check, even if it's clean [10:11] so it must really be clean then [10:11] why do you think it's broken? [10:11] patdk-lap, but if i boot system and run "e2fsck -n /dev/mapper/foobar" it says partition has errors [10:11] you did mount the lvm right? [10:12] patdk-lap, what happens is the file system suddenly becomes "read-only" after few days of uptime and some files become inaccessible [10:12] patdk-lap, rebooting solve the issue temporarily ... [10:12] heh, I had that happen only once [10:13] and i keep getting some "ata" errors on login screen [10:13] it was my laptops intel wifi driver doing it, corrupting ext3 somehow [10:13] upgraded the driver, and all is good [10:13] patdk-lap, how can i find the root cause? [10:13] no idea [10:14] I solved it by chance, kindof, by removing parts of the computer, and trying again [10:14] till it didn't corrupt the filesystem [10:14] patdk-lap, ok [10:14] for me, I couldn't even do an install, cause it would get corrupted that quickly [10:15] so it provided a pretty quick reliable way to tell [11:34] hi all. is there an easy way to convert a ubuntu 10.04 server LTS release to standard 11.04 server? without blowing it away and reinstalling from scratch [11:37] dist-upgrade to 10.10 and then to 11.04 [11:38] thats what i suspected, just wasnt sure. maverick was the option i was given when trying a 'do-release-upgrade -d'. === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ [11:39] jforman: that's what the release notes of 11.04 suggest. (to be more precise they refer to the upgrade notes for maverick) === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ [13:31] jforman: edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal, then run do-release-upgrade [13:32] oops - he apparently left... [13:33] hi. i have 6 hds and i want to make raid 5. how to set up partitions? [13:33] sajkaca: no need for partitions [13:33] sajkaca: have you created a raid with mdadm? [13:35] i m doing a fresh install. i set up raid 1 for /boot partition and then raid 5 and lvm /, swap and storage [13:35] it doesnt work grup cant be installed so i think i did something wrong [13:35] grub* [13:36] I'd recommend using separate drives for root/boot with raid-1/mirrors [13:36] then use the remaining drives, equally sized, for a raid-5 (or raid-6 if you're paranoid) for the data [13:37] smallish 2,5" drives are good if space is an issue [13:42] 4 drives will not be enough for storage i need more. so i have to do 6 hds for raid. only boot is the problem [13:42] becose it wont work. and i read on google that there is some ishues with ubuntu raid 5 etc.. so i need howto that the system will work fine [13:50] hi everyone. [13:50] how are you ?? [13:57] do we need public IP to build webserver to be accessed anywhere from internet ? [14:03] sajkaca: the problem with mixed raid setup is when something fails - get some small drives for the root - you can probably find some small drives from ebay for close to nothing - for example http://www.ebay.com/itm/40GB-5400RPM-2-5-SATA-Serial-ATA-Laptop-Hard-Drive-HDD-/260833948384?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cbaea32e0 [14:03] ubunteo: yes [14:04] ubunteo: either a public IP or some nat magick [14:04] ok. [14:04] RoyK: thanks [14:06] our office Firewall blocked pinging/traceroute to google or other public DNS servers . I can't access firewall. How could I do without touching firewall? [14:06] * RoyK was at a dinner with a friend last night, watching movies and having a few glasses of wine before going home about half past five in the morning, and can only conclude he's not 20 anymore :P [14:06] ubunteo: ask the sysadmin to open up for the webserver [14:06] preferably, it should be in the DMZ [14:07] !dmz [14:07] stupid bot.... [14:08] RoyK: I hate bots except in counter-strike game [14:08] I was referring to ubottu [14:08] !windows [14:08] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

[14:12] wine is odd [14:12] ubunteo: there are sets of shortcuts out there to mimic photoshop [14:12] ubunteo: they're separate systems, with separate goals, so they're bound to be different [14:12] RoyK: I mean other features like addons and brushes and actions. [14:13] and Adobe has been in this for years and gimp is still rather new in comparison [14:13] ubunteo: /j #gimp [14:13] it's not really an ubuntu server issue :P [14:14] RoyK: the sad thing is OSS community can't create absolute alternative to Windows' Active Directory. even SAMBA LDAP can't resemble windows exactly the same features [14:14] samba4 does [14:14] but then, it's not finished [14:14] RoyK: I want to stop using Windows AD . it is waste of money [14:15] and, btw, samba isn't an acronym [14:15] just a name derived from SMB (server message block, the windoze file sharing protocol) [14:15] RoyK: may be a rumor or I dont know. there would be ubuntu directory services. how is that status to totally replace windows AD ? [14:16] ubunteo: samba4 supports acting as an AD controller [14:17] it's still in alpha, though (IIRC). See http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4 for more info [14:17] RoyK: actually Novell Directory Service eDirectory can totally replace or do same feature like windows AD for most common daily routines for users of windows. why ubuntu can't ? [14:17] hm... seems it's left alpha [14:18] NDS is closed source [14:18] * RoyK is an old NetWare Master CNE :D [14:19] ubunteo: but then, openldap and samba can do a few things [14:19] with samba4, it'll be far easier to implement windows integration [14:19] RoyK: I know it is dead end technology according to the whole world though I don't know exactly why. But installiing novell clients for widnows on each windows computer, it can communicate well with Novell eDirectory [14:20] I know [14:20] NDS is kickass technology compared to AD [14:20] AD is merely a smart extension of the old winnt domains [14:20] RoyK: I would like to get the same feature with ubuntu servers at back end and windows clients at front end [14:20] NDS is a distributed catalog service [14:21] well, for windows, you either need an NDS client, or AD support [14:21] AFAIK windows doesn't support LDAP logins [14:21] and I doubt mickysoft will add that, since by then, there'll be less need for AD [14:22] ubunteo: try samba4 [14:22] you'll need to compile it from source, though, but it might be worth a try if you're eager to kick out M$ servers [14:23] RoyK: but making samba can directly talk to windows and for over exceeded quantity of users that samba can't handle, samba server should connect to LDAP server to handle. I read that on one article [14:24] erm... I didn't quite understand that - what do you mean? [14:24] RoyK: I have to convince management before we decide to use ubuntu instead of costly windows. This is reform. I would like to make sure all before hand. [14:25] keep your AD controller and use Samba for fileservers [14:25] samba can join AD easily [14:25] using samba4 in production would be silly [14:25] RoyK: I don't want to see MS stuffs anymore. I dn't want install antivirus and other related problems [14:26] ubunteo: are your clients running windows? [14:26] RoyK: yes. all clients are windows.. all servers are novell. I am now in the middle of nowhere to migrate to ubuntu or windows servers for the backend deployment [14:27] ok, so you're using netware and NDS? [14:29] currently, there's no good open source replacement for AD or NDS [14:29] RoyK: yes. Groupwise. Border Manager [14:29] RoyK: oh. that sucks . that is why linux still can't beat Microsoft [14:30] RoyK: ok thanks a lot. let me stop. [14:30] well, linux is a bit more than windows integration - last I checked, linux was the most used OS for web services and more [14:30] ubunteo: btw [14:30] ubunteo: I think there might be an LDAP login plugin available for win [14:30] haven't tried it, though [14:31] is there anyone who is using inventory software to record IT stocks like toners, cartridges and CDs, DVDs cosume and refill ? [14:32] As I am looking for inventory software for non-profit organizations. There is no sales or linking to accounts in this inventory software.

[16:40] mfraz74: [16:40] ? [16:40] i meant the upgrading to 11.01 [16:40] 11.10 [16:40] oh no, id idn't do that.. lol [16:40] click the link on the bug report, and read his description of his "bug" (i think the bigger problem is between his ears) [16:41] * patdk-lap wonders what exactly is a mini-sas card [16:41] i'm running kubuntu 11.10 on a netbook, it's looking good, but i wouldn't trust it on my main machine yet [16:41] I know sas and sata, but haven't seen anything called mini [16:41] is the card mini? [16:42] dunno, that would be called lowprofile [16:42] i've always heard it called a mini-sas card.. maybe i named it improperly [16:42] sas is appropriat ei'm sure.. i think mini just describes the card [16:42] http://www.saverstore.com/product/20070396/7725665/HP-Smart-Array-P410-256-SAS-Controller-Card-PCIe-X8-8-port--2x-Internal-Mini-SAS-4x-Connector- [16:42] sas lp card :), low profile sas hba, to be more exact [16:43] i'm int he US, and second, i don't wanna spend that much, that's a little insane. [16:43] oh, the mini-sas in that refers to the sff-8087 ports [16:43] it was a bit expensive, i've found another for £23 :) [16:44] i was just using it as an example of mini-sas cards [16:44] ok.. let me explain what i want.. i think its sff 8087.... i want a raid card, that has 2 ports, that will allow me to run 8 drives, w/ a cable like this.. http://www.amazon.com/Adaptec-2236600-R-Internal-Mini-SASX4-SFF-8087/dp/B000GU04X2 [16:44] I think some call it mini-sas compared to the sff-8484 conector [16:45] ok. [16:46] looks like your getting a highpoint then [16:46] if you want cost effective [16:46] otherwise probably go with an lsi [16:46] well cost effective would be nice. [16:46] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816115079 [16:46] i'd like to keep it between 90-150 US (not sure on your idea of cost effective) [16:46] you want a raid card for <200? [16:47] i did't think that seemed htat unusual. [16:47] your asking for fakeraid, and they don't make fakeraid sas [16:48] patdk-lap: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816115096 [16:49] patdk-lap: if i'm looking at that card correctly, it should support 8 drives (2 ports, 4 drives each) [16:49] it does [16:49] but the firmware on that card isn't that great [16:50] why would that be a concern?... [16:50] you don't know how to read the feedback section? [16:50] or do your own research about stuff before you buy? [16:50] actually, i didn't even notice it had a feedback tab..lol [16:50] yes, i research before i buy, i was just posting that one as an example. [16:51] if you look, only highpoints are <200 [16:51] yeah [16:52] i know high point makes a crap firearm, so maybe thats an omen.. :) [16:52] well, some of their stuff isn't [16:52] their pistols. [16:52] maybe they will be like ati was [16:52] some of their rifles get rave reviews (but i have no experience w/ those) [16:52] I refused to get an ati video card cause the drivers where always crashing systems [16:53] yeah [16:56] patdk-lap: how is intel usually?... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816117157 [16:57] intel is just relabled lsi [16:57] that should do what i want i think [16:57] ya [16:58] now just to see how solid it's linux support is [16:58] hmm? lsi has always been making linux drivers [16:58] never had an issue [16:59] are they "plug n play" or do you have to compile the driver? [16:59] plugnplay [16:59] just have to download the management software from their website [17:00] is that really necessary? [17:00] if you want to fix the raid without taking the whole system down? yes [17:00] sounds like its necessary.. :) [17:00] or see if a drive failed, without depending on led's [17:01] yeah.. [17:01] how does the mgmt software work? [17:01] pretty simple [17:01] looks just like the bios interface [17:01] atleast for the ones I have [17:02] hmm, so do you run it via SSH, or.. ? [17:02] yep [17:02] i see. [17:03] that seems like it would be the easiest way. [17:03] maybe i should up my budget a bit, and not "shortchange" this one [17:11] software raid is working OK, but i only have 6 ports, and have 8 bays... but.. right now i don't need all 6 ports. [17:11] patdk-lap: question about software raid (i'm kinda new to this)... say one of my drives borks out.. 1. how do i know, and 2, is easy to add a new drive to the array? [17:12] ask mdadm [17:12] mdadm? [17:13] hmm [17:13] i see where you're going [17:14] unfortunately a lot of that is greek to me [17:23] KM0201, cat /proc/mdstat (or set it up to email you), and yes, it's easy [17:23] install new drive, partition it, then add it to the array with mdadm [17:24] yeah, i just found a lnk, http://www.howtoforge.com/replacing_hard_disks_in_a_raid1_array [17:24] i guess my bigger question, is how to tell which drive is bad.. [17:24] i'm gonna try it in vbox, see if i run into a problem [17:24] the way I tell is with smartctl [17:25] smartctl? [17:25] it tells you the serial number when you smartctl -a /dev/sd? [17:25] which is printed on the label [17:25] ohok. [17:25] also, it's often too late when the drive actually drops out of the array [17:26] I use smartd to email me on bad sectors [17:26] wha tdo you mean "to late".. if i'm using raid 1.. there should be a mirror on the other drive. [17:26] I lost an 8 disk raid 5 that way, three drives failed in one day [17:26] New bug: #830142 in samba (main) "package samba-common-bin 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/bin/smbpasswd'" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/830142 [17:26] would have known sooner if I had smartctl telling me about the bad sectors [17:26] 3 drives in 1 day?... lol.. impressive. [17:27] but wiith raid 1, i have a mirror of the drive, so it shouldn't be as big an issue, right? [17:27] unless your two drives are like my three [17:27] and you can't replace it before the second fails [17:27] this is true. [17:27] it's more likely than you think, unfortunately [17:28] I've already replaced two drives with bad sectors on my new array [17:29] unfortunately, this isn't very easy to test in vbox apparently [17:30] i know what i can do.. [17:31] i can just remove one of the drives in the vbox settings [17:31] you can mark a drive as failed with an mdadm command [17:31] well, i'm assuming i "miss" that the drive is failed, that sall. [17:32] or that it fails unexpectedly [17:38] ok, just marked a virtual drive as failed, remooved it, shut down, deleted the drive, now i'm adding a new drive, and then i'll try to add it back to the raid [17:42] New bug: #830154 in samba (main) "Login timed out after 60 seconds after winbind install" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/830154 === Psi-Jack_ is now known as Psi-Jack [17:52] Hello i hope there is a good soul in here there can help me resovle a problem of mine im using vsftpd on my ubuntu server 11,04 and can connect with out problem in filezilla in my privet network but [17:53] when i try to do it on the public ip i get user and pass sent in but dont get my file catalog [17:53] it say "time out" [17:53] yes [17:53] that is a limitation of FTP [17:53] one end must not be behind a NAT [17:54] since almost every client is behind NAT these days, your server cannot be, or it must be worked around in your firewall [17:54] opening anywhere from several to thousands of ports [17:54] so becouse my nat is has port forwarding i still will have problem?

Would killall -u username work? [18:13] does any one here have a git repository server [18:14] i would need a tut to point me in the right way [18:54] Any tricks for setting umask? I have a group writable directory, and I want users who create files in there to make them group-writable [18:56] Since the purpose of these user accounts is only to edit files in said group directory, would it be okay to add "umask u=rwx,g=rwx,o=" in their bashrc? [19:03] is there a way to make ubuntu continue to boot, despite a failed disk on the raid? I keep getting a "press S or M" (skip or repair manually).. if the server is headless, obviously i won't know this when its powering up. [19:04] yes you can fix that [19:04] ii know how to fix the drive, i just don't want ubuntu to halt on that error. [19:04] i had that problems a few months ago and i fixed it in fstab [19:04] ok.. [19:05] let me bring it back up then take a look at fstab. [19:05] yeah, it halts boot on a degraded array by default [19:05] yeah, i want to turn that off. [19:05] raid 1 is about the only situation you'd want to continue [19:06] i use raid 1. [19:06] :_) [19:06] it's entirely possible, I just don't know where the setting is [19:06] i'm guessing in fstab, i'll check in a second [19:07] cuz since i can't SSH while its booting, obviously i wouldn't be able to see that error, and know there's a problem.

[19:08] orated: so.. you have two routers? [19:08] hmm, wait maybe not. [19:09] orated: simple matter of iptables nat thing [19:09] or bridge your interfaces [19:09] yup. [19:10] I recently got Dell XPS 15 laptop which allows to connect to WiFi and also LAN [19:10] I've never tried , so not sure [19:10] Hmm [19:11] I guess I'll set the umask in their bash profile [19:11] Can anyone lnk me to some documentation for this? [19:13] KM0201: How can I confirm you if I've two routers or not? [19:13] you'd see them in your house. [19:13] but i don't think thats what you're trying to do. [19:13] I have only one DSL [19:14] I mean D-Link modem which allows me to connect to LAN [19:15] I've primarily connect to LAN but wish to share internet making system like a WiFi hotspot to other WiFi enabled devices at home [19:15] BrixSat: what did you add to fstab, to make that stop happening, i tried "nobootwait".. which didn't do the trick. [19:15] I read its called internet connection sharing or masquerade, if I'm right [19:15] Hmm [19:15] /etc/profile is maintained by the package manager, right? [19:16] I can't override the umask in there because it'll cause conflicts when updating [19:16] and I can't put it in /etc/profile.d/ because the umask line is the last one in /etc/profile [19:17] RoyK: qman__: Can you guide me on bridgin interfaces? Or iptables can do what I want to try? [19:17] apt-get install bridge-utils [19:17] edit /etc/network/interfaces as root [19:18] add a bridge interface like so: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man5/bridge-utils-interfaces.5.html [19:19] anybody interested, post#2 did the trick.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1652587 [19:20] qman__: And, will it affect when I'm using WiFi? [19:20] done right, all it will do is bridge your wifi to your ethernet [19:20] so configuring your wifi won't affect it [19:21] set up ad-hoc to get the computers connected, or connect to an AP when you're elsewhere [19:21] AP? [19:21] access point [19:22] ad-hoc works only for connecting computers? It will not work for wifi enabled devices? [19:23] it will work for any wifi device [19:23] the difference is AP mode is a router providing internet access in the traditional way, ad-hoc is multiple 'client' devices just talking to each other [19:23] you're technically providing internet to an ad-hoc network [19:25] ad-hoc works only for connecting computers? It will not work for wifi enabled devices?? [19:25] er [19:25] But how is bridging helping to create an ad-hoc network [19:26] it isn't [19:27] Sorry, fingers slipped on arrow keys when pressing return,.. [19:27] ah-ok [19:27] bridging brings your working internet connection to the ad-hoc wireless network [19:27] so other clients on the ad-hoc can get to the net [19:27] So, how do I create ad-hoc network? [19:27] probably through network manager [19:28] beyond the scope of this channel, but first google hit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc [19:30] I'm sorry for being offtopic. I'm completely beginner on this, so, well.. I'll read more on it. Thank you. [20:10] =o === cmagina-afk is now known as cmagina === Psi-Jack_ is now known as Psi-Jack [20:28] -q [21:37] New bug: #830250 in postfix (main) "package postfix 2.8.2-1ubuntu2.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 75" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/830250 [21:37] Hi all, does anyone know how I can get noip2 to run as root. I need to to execute a script that has permission to edit root files. [21:41] sudo [21:46] qman__, Hi, the problem is noip2 runs the script so I cant use sudo?? [21:50] use sudo in the script [21:50] for the bits that require it [22:16] New bug: #830277 in ntp (main) "ntpdate manpage is inconsistent about threshold" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/830277 [22:39] using exim4 with dovecot (its 80% functional).. i would like to setup virtual domains with virtual mailboxes. are there any good tutorials ? [22:43] hello! I have someone working remotely on a server who is unable to boot properly. I need to get into the system with a chroot, and we have a rescue cd, but the rescue env did not seem capable of figuring out the LVM setup [22:43] is the rescue env aware of LVM and capable of working with it to mount the root fs? [22:44] besides the lower values for GIDs, what is the functional difference between a system group (i.e., a group created with the --system option) and a non-system group? [22:45] while I'm not 100% sure, I would hope ubuntu was playing smart and putting extra restrictions on the system user/group [22:45] not sure though [22:45] ddg it? [22:46] (duckduckgo.com) [22:52] I've searched around, nothing relevant has come up. Groups, unlike users, don't have explicit extra permissions based on their ID, so I'm not sure what restrictions would be needed for a group, other than making usre it has a unique GID [22:53] well, there are also login limits, like max files and such [22:53] but yea, I don't know [22:53] tohuw: as ubuntu is based on debian, maybe #debian as something to say === niekie_ is now known as niekie [23:24] could someone translate this? I just tried a service networking start and received: start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.6" (uid=1000 pid=2381 comm="start) interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init)) [23:39] When setting up ip_tables i get this error: "can't initialize iptables table `raw': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)". What do I have to do? [23:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1746390 [23:41] lickalott: Already did it. A 'sudo modinfo ip_tables' gives: "modinfo: could not open /lib/modules/2.6.18-028stab092.1/modules.dep". [23:46] are you root? [23:47] better question are you in the sudousers file? [23:48] lickalott: i am. The requested file does not exist on my system. [23:49] wait 2 [23:49] lemme check mine [23:50] but i have a moduldes.deb in '/lib/modules/2.6.18-028stab064.8/' [23:51] why does modinfo look for a non-existing '/lib/...stab092.1'? [23:54] mine show up as 2.6.38-8-generic-pae [23:55] whats inside your modules dir? [23:56] modules.alias modules.ieee1394map modules.ofmap modules.symbols [23:56] modules.ccwmap modules.inputmap modules.pcimap modules.usbmap [23:56] modules.dep modules.isapnpmap modules.seriomap [23:57] the problem is that 'modprobe', 'insmod' etc. are looking for the wrong directory [23:57] just found this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9967579&postcount=12 [23:58] thinking maybe you can edit that file for the proper path.
