DanaGhmm, I got the same serial-console panic.  Now, what was I supposed to do to debug it?01:37
DanaGOr rather, it's not a panic, because at least ZNC is up.01:38
DanaGYet, ssh is dead.01:38
DanaGShould I just try a 3.x kernel?01:38
DanaGGoing to reboot.01:40
squidlyanyone know what I need to do so I can copy UFW rules between servers?01:53
DanaGokay, I'm going to try 3.0.4 kernel.01:58
DanaGNot trying 3.1 until it's out of RC, since this is my server that I need to have stable.01:58
squidlyDanaG: I'm running 3.0.4 on my desktop at work. I really like it. The 3.0.4 kernel is very stable02:04
mdeslaursquidly: look in /lib/ufw, there should be a user.rules file you can copy over02:09
squidlyand how to I activate it?02:11
DanaGsay, how do I disable the auto-blanking of tty0 (uvesafb)?02:12

DanaGALso fiddling with serial console while I'm at it.02:18
DanaGStupid HP... uses an IPMI chip that supports SOL, but doesn't expose that serial port.02:19
DanaGSo I have to have a PCIe-1x serial port card.02:19
patdk-lapwhy not use ipmi over ip?02:19
DanaGWell, what I mean is: I got the HP remote access card for my Microserver, and there's no serial-over-LAN feature.  There's a java viewer, but that's no good for grabbing stacktraces and all that.02:20
DanaGThe IPMI chip itself, ASPEED AST2150, supports SOL... but HP's system BIOS doesn't expose it.02:21
DanaGgoing to reboot the server (also happens to have ZNC on it).02:22
DanaGhttp://pastebin.com/85CNMLK502:27
DanaGokay, so, grub doesn't like the pcie serial.02:27
DanaGUnknown serial port.  :(02:27

DanaGhttp://pastebin.com/85CNMLK502:41
DanaGthere's the serial console oops.02:41
DanaGI'll be swtiching to btrfs as soon as it has a fsck that'll fix things.02:43
patdk-lapheh, isn't that scheduled for sometime within the next 5 years?02:43
patdk-lapit just seems like play toys are more important for btrfs currently, than stability02:44
DanaGByobu doesn't work over serial:02:53
DanaGstrace:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/700831/02:53
jmarsdenDanaG: That looks like a permissions issue on /var/run/screen, notthing related to it being a serial connection, to me ... ?02:56
DanaGWhat's weird is that the same permissions work fine over ssh.02:56
DanaGAnd the same sort of hang happens with aptitude, I think.02:57
DanaGI'll pastebin a strace of aptitude.02:57
DanaGheck, even fgconsole hangs.02:58
DanaGopen("/proc/self/fd/0", O_RDWR02:58
DanaGAnd in fact, aptitude hangs when run normally, but when redirected to strace, it shows colors for a moment.02:59
jmarsdenDanaG: For the aptitude ncurses UI to work, you would need an appropriate termtype set, is that (part of) the issue??03:00
DanaG$TERM is "linux"03:01
DanaGhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/700835/03:01
DanaGthere's aptitude.  Did 2>aptitude.txt and then gave it sigquit when it hung.03:01
DanaGThen sent the contents of aptitude.txt to pastebinit.03:01
jmarsdenAre you on ttyS5 ?  That looks like it looked at at /dev/tty0 and then tried to open /dev/ttyS5 and ... it all ended!  I'm guessing, but you could check permissions on both /var/run/screen and the serial device (/dev/ttyS5 or whatever it really is).03:08
DanaGThe second trace is just running aptitude, so screen is out of the picture.03:13
DanaGAnd yup, the serial console is ttyS5.03:13
DanaGThere's no 0 or 1 or 2 or 3.... just 4 and 5.03:13
DanaGhmm, even as root, aptitude hangs the same way.03:19
jmarsdenAny difference if you do   export TERM=vt100 ; reset $TERM     first?03:20
nronksrWhat is the output from the following on an ubuntu server's portmapper?: strings /sbin/portmap | grep hosts03:28
nronksrI'm looking specifically at 10.04, but any would do at this point.  Thanks!03:28
DanaGjmarsden: yup, that gives me a monochrome aptitude.03:29
DanaGOddly, exporting TERM=screen works, as well.03:29
DanaGThough, it does use this on the "quit?" dialog:03:29
DanaGlqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk03:29
jmarsdenDanaG: OK.  So the issue was the termtype... good.  Now you need to figure out what termtype your terminal "really" is so you can set one that works 100%.  It's been 15 years since I worked with termcap and termtype :)03:31
DanaGdangit, same oops on closing serial console.03:37
DanaGgood, 2.6.39 seems to work.04:50
jakemp-homeI'm setting up ubuntu server 11.04, and  I keep getting "Don't seem to have all the variables for eth0/inet" when I try to 'sudo ifup eth0'. I'm following the ubuntu server guile page for this05:06
bfrican anyone help me set up a pptp vpn05:07
iggi_Hello, does anyone have a link to a good guide on how to connect to VPN (I'm using OpenVPN) via command line in ubuntu server?06:24
jmarsdeniggi_: It is not Ubuntu-specific, but the OpenVPN Mini-HOWTO for a really basic setup is at http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/78-static-key-mini-howto.html06:38
iggi_jmarsden, Thanks, I'm just trying to figure out how to setup multiple VPN connections on a monitoring server to monitor hosts behind firewalls at various locations06:40

DulcinHi I'm not sure if this is making sense but: For our current domain I have set up google apps and am using google's mx records for email09:26
Dulcinbut now I'm setting up an smtp server on our server as well, which I only want to use for our automatic mails sent through PHP09:27
Dulcindoes that make sense? and does it require a new mx record or should I keep the hostname in the settings the same as the IP?09:28
Dulcinis TLS good to set up, even if postfix is set to a null configuration?10:37
ikoniawhat ?10:48
ikonianull configuration ?10:48
ikonia"good to setup" ?10:48
ikoniaDulcin: any chance you could try to re-ask that question explaining a little better ?10:48
dnmonsHi. My postfix is not listing auth capability after tls/ehlo. I’m trying to use dovecot sasl. no helpful information in error log. I’m hoping someone can offer advice. postconf -n http://pastebin.com/yrpCe7jf and dovecot -n http://pastebin.com/LpkxQtBz IMAP/dovecot itself is working.10:55
ikoniadnmons: dovecot and postfix are two seperate things, which one is not working10:55
dnmonsikonia: I assume dovecot is working just fine. as authenticating against it works. and it is the smtp connection that is not offering auth capabilities.10:56
ikoniaso forget dovecot, just focus on postfix10:57
Dulcinikonia: Well, I took that 'null setup' from the postfix documentation, let me try and explain what I want12:06
Dulcinikonia: I currently have Google Apps set up which handles all the mail. But now I want our website to send mail securely as well. So I set up postfix, and since I only want the webserver to send mail (and not receive) I figured I can set it up in a 'null client'*12:08
DulcinAt first I tried to set it up with SASL and try sending with TLS, but I couldn't get that to work and while reading up on postfix, I noticed the null client might even be better12:09
Dulcinso my questions was...12:09
Dulcindoes my mailserver need its own mx record, or since I'm only sending mail, it is obsolete12:09
Dulcinand can I leave the TLS/SASL/certificate, etc. out of my setup, if it is only set up as a 'null client'12:10
Dulcinikonia: like: since nobody else can use it anyway (i think), I dont need to add an extra security layer12:11
Dulcinmaybe I'm way off with my reasoning12:11
Olotilais virtualized ubuntu inside ubuntu fast?13:32
OlotilaI'm using 11.04 now but need 10.04LTS because it supports my new raid adapter13:34
JanC_Olotila: some things are very fast when virtualised using hardware that assists virtualisation, other things get more of a performance hit, and there are also differences between virtualisation technologies, so there is no simple answer to your question  ☺13:38
=== JanC_ is now known as JanC
JanCalso, why doesn't 11.04 support your raid adapter?13:39
JanC(and why don't you use software raid instead?)13:39
Olotilanot sure why, it is adaptec 6805E and they boast about their support for Linux13:43
Olotilagave "too many errors" when I tried13:43
OlotilaI use hw raid because I use both windows and linux13:44
OlotilaI used mobo raid (intel ich10r) but it's not supported in linux13:44
Olotilaif I used sw raid it would not work in windows13:45
Olotilamy virtualized usage would be almost 100% usual surfing and getting to know Ubuntu13:47
Olotilausing max 10% of my current PC resources13:47
Olotila4(+4) cores, 6GB ram13:48
RoyKOlotila: 11.04 isn't too good a choice for servers anyway13:54
ppetrakiOlotila, if you're really that concerned about performance, go ahead and install 10.04 to the RAID and the use a recovery CD13:54
ppetrakiOlotila, from the recovery CD, chroot to your RAID, and then install a "backports LTS" kernel, like the Natty one13:54
ppetrakiOlotila, which should get you the HW support you desire13:55
RoyKOlotila: that ich10r raid controller isn't a real raid controller13:55
ppetrakiRoyK, he's got an Adaptec too13:56
RoyKppetraki: so I saw - just wanted to comment on that intel thing13:56
RoyKOlotila: i'm running a few VMs virtualized with kvm - works like a charm13:56
RoyKone of the VMs is running Zimbra, which can be a bit on the heavy side13:57
RoyKstill works well, on an old core2 duo13:57
ppetrakiOlotila, just confirmed that there is a "natty lts backport" package: linux-image-server-lts-backport-natty13:57
RoyKppetraki: why would he need that?13:58
ppetrakiRoyK, so he could run 10.04 on baremetal13:59
RoyKwhy can't he just use the lucid kernel?13:59
ppetrakiRoyK, iif he's *that* concerned with performance13:59
RoyKnewer kernel != better performance13:59
ppetrakiRoyK, "<Olotila> I'm using 11.04 now but need 10.04LTS because it supports my new raid adapter"14:00
RoyK'cept with oneiric comes xen, which is a wee jump in performance14:00
ppetrakiRoyK, implies 10.04 doesn't support that HW14:00
RoyKppetraki: what he said there was that 11.04 didn't support his hardware14:00
RoyKOlotila: can you clear this out, please? does 11.04 support your hardware?14:01
ppetrakiRoyK, that doesn't make sense. how does a older release have the hardware enablement he needs?14:01
RoyKbugs do happen14:02
ppetrakiwell, that would be a bug :)14:02
* RoyK even sticks to hardy on some machines14:02
JanCthere might be a closed source driver for LTS or something...14:03
JanCOlotila: if you just want to do surfing with Ubuntu, why don't you run an Ubuntu VM on your existing Windows?  ;)14:05
JanCin any case, performance probably won't be an issue for surfing14:05
ppetrakiRoyK, it looks like the aaraid driver but I can't find a hit for that product id in the pci ids list, in either lucid or natty14:08
JanCeven a 400 MHz machine with 256 MiB of RAM is fast enough for surfing...14:08
RoyKoh - same old pci id issue14:08
ppetrakiOlotila, could you provide a pci id for the Adaptec card?14:09
RoyKJanC: erm - that depends where you surf :P14:09
* RoyK thinks Olotila has fallen asleep14:09
ppetraki:)14:09
ppetrakiAdaptec provides a dkms for "debian 5 and Ubuntu 10.04", even a package for the installer14:10
JanCRoyK: maybe if you want to play Doom ported to WebGL & JavaScript that is not enough, but basically for every other website it's plenty  ;)14:10
RoyKJanC: add some java and flash and html5 and js and whatever's in use out there, and your 400MHz machine will choke itself before you get the average news site opened14:11
JanCmost news sites work fine without JavaScript actually  ;)14:11
* RoyK just got a pandaboard - little single board thing with a dual-core Cortex A9, some helper cores at 266MHz, 1GB RAM, wifi, SD card and cameras connectors, dual HDMI out, total <$20014:13
RoyKno need for some old power-consuming 400MHz beast then...14:14
JanCright, I was just talking about what performance is really *needed*14:14
RoyKthat depends on use14:15
RoyKwhat about your average dual-core 1GHz coretex9 in your new phone? ;)14:15
RoyKbtw, this is rather fun http://pandaboard.org/14:16
JanCeven a simple single-core Cortex A8 can play full HD movies while surfing all you want... (your pandaboard has 4 cores!)14:17
RoyKyeah, but only two general purpose-cores14:17
RoyKthe smaller ones must be programmed with specific API calls14:17
JanCit has 4 GP cores IIRC, but 2 of them are very slow (but also consume almost no power)?14:18
RoyKbut fine for offloading simple stuff like controlling a camera without waking up the main cores14:18
JanCmight require special API calls indeed14:18
RoyKthey do - I checked...14:18
JanCbut I guess that also depends on the OS14:19
RoyKwell, it's probably possible to have the OS handle that, but I really don't want to start to rewrite the linux scheduler14:19
JanCand of course it also has several special purpose cores14:19
JanCfor encoding/decoding video, for graphics, etc.14:20
JanCbasically, it's more advanced than your desktop processor  ;)14:20
RoyKit's neat :)14:22
JanCthe only disadvantage being that there is no proper driver for the GPU core...14:23
JanCpersonally I'd rather see a similar board with s BTW  ☺14:25
JanCpersonally I'd rather see a similar board with lots of SATA adapters BTW  ☺14:25
RoyKindeed :D14:25
RoyKI wonder...14:26
JanCwould be great for building a NAS / home server14:26
JanCand maybe you could off-load RAID computations to the low-power cores14:26
JanCand maybe also encryption14:27
RoyKthose A9s would do well for that14:27
JanCboth disk & network encryption14:27
JanCit should be possible to create a fantastic A9 and/or A15 based SoC for home/SoHo servers14:28
* patdk-lap wonders if the market for one is high enough14:29
JanCpatdk-lap: if I see how many NAS are sold currently, there should be14:30
RoyKJanC: AFAICS the only interface for mass storage on the panda is usb14:30
JanCRoyK: I know, I looked at it as a possible replacement for an existing NAS  ;)14:31
JanCthere is no proper PCI interface to extend it either14:32
JanCPCIe14:32
JanCand the GPU is useless for that purpose14:32
JanCso obviously OMAP SoC's are designed for another purpose14:33
RoyKI just asked on #pandaboard and was told14:33
RoyKdrscott> RoyK - I have not found a sata interface for the panda board - however the freescale i.mx53 quick start board has  a chip-supported sata port14:33
JanCthat's what is used in the "Plug" computers IIRC?14:34
RoyKdunno14:34
JanCor at least something like that14:34
* RoyK checks lshw on his guruplug14:34
RoyKhm.. nothing there14:35
sampialeHello14:35
JanCRoyK: nothing in /proc/cpuinfo either?14:35
RoyKhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/701061/14:37
RoyKbtw, if you ever get a guruplug or similar, don't try lucid on it :P14:37
patdk-laproyk, heh, oi fell completely over when I attempted to use both my ib interfaces at once :)14:38
RoyKwtf?14:38
patdk-lapI was getting about 350MB/sec over both ib links, one at a time, if I used both at the same time 36MB/sec14:39
RoyKouch14:39
patdk-laphad to do some /etc/system tweaking, and it's getting me a good 800MB/sec over both now :)14:39
RoyKneat14:39
patdk-lapat the same time14:39
RoyKwhat sort of ib?14:40
patdk-lapjust 10g currently14:40
RoyKI didn't know there was a 10g14:40

RoyKi3???14:48
patdk-lapya14:48
RoyKwouldn't you want ECC on such a box?14:48
patdk-lapit has ecc14:48
patdk-laponly ecc is supported14:48
RoyKi3 doesn't support ECC14:48
patdk-lapyou mean, registered is not supported14:48
RoyKthe memory controller in i[357] doesn't use ECC14:48
RoyKyou need a xeon for that14:49
RoyKhttp://www.intel.com/support/processors/corei3/sb/CS-031175.htm#1014:49
patdk-lapya, so ecc memory is required, but the ecc is not used14:49
JanClol, what's the use for that?  :P14:50
JanCI mean, having to buy expensive memory that has no benefits?14:51
RoyKpatdk-lap: the mobo may require ecc memory, but the memory controller, residing in the processor package, doesn't use it14:52
patdk-lapwell, it's only going be in use for a few months14:52
RoyKpatdk-lap: you're not the first to make that mistake - I had an i3 replaced by a xeon just a few months back :P14:52
patdk-laptill it goes back offline again14:52
RoyKdata corruption can still be rather expensive14:53
RoyKand a new Xeon to fit into that socket can be rather cheap14:53
patdk-lapthere are hundred of other places for datacorruption also14:53
RoyKthe new xeon is likely to be about the same price as one of the drives :P14:54
patdk-laplooks like $350 for a 2.9ghz14:54
RoyKstill, that'll give you ECC14:54
patdk-lapdrives are like half the price of the cheapeast x34xx14:54
RoyKwhat sort of disk layout? mirrors?14:55
patdk-lapjust mirrors14:55

RoyKsome SSDs for caching as well?14:59
patdk-lapit's a netapp that doesn't support anything than nfs14:59
RoyKoh14:59
patdk-lapya, have ssd's on the way, think they got lost in shipping14:59
patdk-lapnetapp can't even support dedup if we wanted14:59
RoyKold one?14:59
patdk-lapfas270, not even a fas270c15:00
patdk-lapso far my tests show good performance on everything, about 6x increase, excepted for that random seek test I was doing, but I can't replicate that test correctly currently15:01

patdk-lapbut going put it into backup service15:04
Olotilappetraki, RoyK, JanC, sorry fell asleep ... nah, just rl stuff15:04
patdk-lapto hold a mirror copy, and to stream to tape15:04
Olotilaadapter is Adaptec 6805E15:04
Olotilawhen installling, it reports "too many errors"15:04
Olotilathats why I started thinking other options15:04
RoyKOlotila: that's on lucid?15:05
RoyKpatdk-lap: the 7k3000s aren't too expensive, though15:05
Olotilaperformance is not the main issue15:05
patdk-laproyk, ya, but 3g only :(15:05
patdk-lapthey are slowing down the whole bus15:05
OlotilaI rather go on native hw, and virtualization seems a little silly15:06
RoyKpatdk-lap: 7k2000?15:06
patdk-lapI could cut my resilver time in half with 6g15:06
Olotilabut if that is way easiest, i could go that way15:06
RoyKpatdk-lap: the new 7k2000 are 6g15:06
Olotilabut if i get drivers to 11.04, that would be ideal15:06
RoyKpatdk-lap: Hitachi HDS723020BLA64215:07

OlotilaI do have Ubunti in VM too, but I prefer native environment15:07
RoyKOlotila: linux-image-2.6.38-11-server ?15:07
patdk-laproyk, odd, they are not listed on hitachi's website, only 3g's15:08
RoyKI have about 160 of those15:08
Olotilathis is 11.04 x64 desktop15:08
RoyKOlotila: apt-cache search linux-image15:08
patdk-lapheh, you guys have it backwards15:09
RoyKpatdk-lap: and they have written 6g on the drives15:09
patdk-laphe wants to run a lucid kernel on natty :)15:09
RoyKoh15:09
RoyKOlotila: install lucid :P15:09
patdk-laproyk, those are 7k3000's, not 7k200015:09
RoyKstill 2TB15:09
RoyKbought 150 of them and got them for a little less than $100 a piece15:10
RoyKs/less/more - $101,something15:10
RoyKOlotila: sorry - is it the 11.04 kernel that complains about these errors, or the lucid kernel?15:11
OlotilaRoyk, yeah, I did fail to install 10.04 to this hw15:12
OlotilaRoyK, yes15:13
RoyKOlotila: latest 10.04.3 cd?15:13
Olotilaarg sorry, the 11.04 complains15:13
Olotilayes, latest15:13
RoyKerm.. does 10.04 or 11.04 complain?15:14
* RoyK is slightly confused15:14
Olotila11.04 says too many errors15:14
RoyKthen don't use it15:14
RoyKuse lucid15:14

Olotila10.04 does not install natively15:14
RoyKoh15:14
Olotilajust hangs15:14
RoyKtry hardy ;)15:14
Olotilai might try harder :)15:16
RoyKhardy == 8.0415:16
RoyKstill supported15:16
Olotilai could try cd install instead of usb-stick, and a few different isos15:17
RoyKit shouldn't make much difference installing from a CD or an USB stick15:17
Olotilayeah, i know15:17
Olotila*shouldnt, one of the ugliest words known to man :)15:18
RoyKmaybe...15:18
Olotilai usually flinch when i hear "it should work"15:18
RoyK:)15:19
RoyKperhaps Oneiric beta? :)15:19
Olotilais there any good advice when trying to install ubuntu and it does not want to complete the installation?15:19
JanCmaybe the drivers are not included...15:19
Olotilaany general tips15:20
RoyKOlotila: where in the installation does it hang?15:20
RoyKOlotila: also, is this a desktop or server installation?15:20
Olotilawill not even show the ubuntu text and the five balls15:20
RoyKdesktop has far more bits and is harder to debug15:20
Olotilaeither one would do15:20
RoyKdoes the cd bootup fail?15:20
RoyKor usb15:21
RoyKor whatever15:21
RoyKif so, try noacpi and noapic15:21
RoyKas a start15:21
Olotilait does not go very far, cannot even "try" ubuntu15:21
RoyKiirc press f6 and you'll get those choices from there15:21
RoyKOlotila: 'try ubuntu' implies  you're installing desktop, not server15:21
Olotilaso server installs more likely, and I can better my odds with those choises I get with F6?15:22
Olotilaand disable acpi from bios?15:23
RoyKjust try server first15:23
Olotilaok15:23
RoyKit should be more verbose than desktop15:23
Olotiladoes it write log somewhere?15:23
RoyKmeaning better at yelling at you15:23
=== bastidra1or is now known as bastidrazor
RoyKno logs before the system is installed15:24
RoyKbut it'll log to the console15:24
RoyKwhich should suffice15:24
Olotilayeah15:24
patdk-laphmm, if the ubuntu with the balls appear, that means the kernel is done loading, and it's started the init scripts15:24
patdk-lapso it's working15:24
patdk-lapjust some startup thing is holding it up15:24
Olotilaany difference between 32 and 64 bit?15:25
RoyKOlotila: yeah, one is 32bit, the other is 64bit15:25
patdk-lapdunno why you keep talking about the desktop install though, in the server channel15:25
OlotilaRoyK, i mean the odds of successfull installing15:25
* RoyK hands patdk-lap a beer15:25
RoyKOlotila: none whatsoever, if you're on a 64bit machine15:25
Olotilapatdk-lap, because I know here are pretty knowledgeable guys :)15:26
RoyKOlotila: if you're on a 32bit machine, installing 64bit is quite likely to fail early :P15:26
patdk-laphehe, I have had all kinds of issues some machines15:26
patdk-laphave a motherboard, that I put a 64bit cpu in, no issue15:26
Olotilaand i am installing server stuff too15:26
patdk-lapbut the motherboard refuses to boot any 64bit or even pae kernels15:26
patdk-laponly worked in plain 32bit mode15:26
RoyKOlotila: thing is, this channel is for the server _distro_, not the server bits15:26
RoyKpatdk-lap: wtf? something you got cheap on ebay? ;)15:26
patdk-lapsome msi neo motherboard15:27
patdk-lapwas only for a home desktop system15:27
patdk-lapalso had 4 memory slots, but you where only allowed to use 2 at a time15:28
patdk-lapvery strange motherboard15:28
RoyKpatdk-lap: hehe15:29
OlotilaWell, I'll try your advice and perhaps chat from within 10.04 server15:30
Olotilathanks, thumbs up15:30
RoyKpatdk-lap: I've come by mobos that work well with either two or four memory modules, but clocked them down if all four were installed15:30
RoyKOlotila: break a leg :)15:30
patdk-laproyk, that is normal on all intel mmu systems15:30
RoyKoh15:31
RoyKit is?15:31
patdk-lapthe intel memory thing, has channels, and each channel supports 2 or 3 sticks15:31
patdk-lapdepending on if it's desktop or server model15:31
patdk-lapif you use and adition stick, for 3 or 4, then the bus goes 800mhz instead of normal15:31
patdk-lapor if you use qrank memory15:31
patdk-lapnice if you need bulk memory15:32
patdk-lapbad if you need to access memory quickly15:32
RoyKso I guess we should have bought fewer, larger modules for our compute nodes?15:32
patdk-lapas long as they where dual rank sticks15:33
RoyKquad15:33
RoyKit's opteron15:33
patdk-lapdunno about opteron15:33
patdk-lapbut quad rank normally will slow any intel system down to 800mhz, and you can't use the extra slot15:33
KM0201how can i see a list of running services?15:33
RoyKbut then, with quad, we get a bit wider memory buses than on xeon15:34
RoyKKM0201: ps axf15:34
patdk-lapheh?15:34
patdk-lapquad what?15:34
KM0201RoyK: thats a little to detailed15:34
patdk-lapkm0201, little too detailed :)15:34
KM0201i was looking for... if samba is running, if mysql is running, etc.15:35
patdk-lapservice mysql status15:35
patdk-lapservice samba status15:35
patdk-lap...15:35
RoyKor even15:35
RoyKstatus mysql15:35
KM0201yeah, that would work, then i'd have to go through and type that command for each service.15:37
RoyKKM0201: afaik, ubuntu doesn't have any better way to do that15:37
KM0201yeah, thats the realization i was coming to as well.15:38
patdk-laphmm, how evil15:38
patdk-laphp infiniband switchs don't support any subnet manager15:38
RoyKpatdk-lap: what's a subnet manager?15:39
patdk-lapit manages infiniband routing basically15:40
patdk-lapwithout it it would be like ethernet without arp15:40
JanCKM0201: "initctl list" ?15:40
patdk-lapyou can run a subnet manager on a windows/linux machine (not on solaris) if you want15:41
JanC(and maybe filter out what's running)15:41
patdk-lapbut as I was going vmware/oi, that isn't nice15:41
KM0201JanC: that's what i'd like to do, is filter out what is running15:41
KM0201that one is close though15:41
patdk-lapmight have to hang one of my old machines and give it a infiniband card to connect and do that then :(15:41
JanCwell, grep for "start/running" I guess ;)15:41
patdk-lapat home here, my infiniband switch has it built in, so it's all nice :)15:42
JanCor maybe even just "running"15:42
VampsDaBeastwhat would be the best minimium GUI for 10.04 that will be used to run game servers like Nexuiz, and the like.19:01
TomasBrincilGUI like graphic user interface?19:03
VampsDaBeastTomasBrincil, yea, like XFCE and th elike19:03
TomasBrincilit does not matter, i guess...19:04
VampsDaBeastwouldnt want any thing to heavy though correct?19:05
VampsDaBeastlike xfce or lxde would prolly work best19:05
TomasBrincili bet, both of them will work..19:06
VampsDaBeastkool..thanks19:06
RoyKVampsDaBeast: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop19:07
qman__they'll all work19:11
qman__if you want bare minimum, go with something like xdm or icewm19:11
qman__or any of the other super minimalist ones19:11
pmatulissudo aptitude install lubuntu-desktop19:12
pmatulisah, prolly not available on 10.0419:13
qman__regardless, even a more lightweight desktop is still a full desktop19:13
qman__I took it he needed a bare minimum window manager to run a poorly designed server that won't run without X19:13
qman__like ut2k4's19:14
* RoyK remember setting up a 386dx20 with X, fvvm2, with 2MB RAM, back in 1994 or so19:15
RoyKit took the box some 2-3 minutes to start a simple app :P19:15
VampsDaBeastnow really qman..19:20
VampsDaBeastnot**19:20
VampsDaBeasti'm working towards making a box that will run some of the linux based FPS like Nexuiz, OpenaArena and the like.19:20
VampsDaBeastbut as d-servers instead of played on19:21
qman__properly designed dedicated game servers don't need X19:22
qman__that said, there are plenty that are not properly designed19:23
VampsDaBeastso to run many of those as dedicated servers.. all i need is ssh?19:24
VampsDaBeastso to speak19:25
qman__a correctly written game server is the same as any other server, it just runs in the background and logs output when necessary19:25
qman__possibly provides an interface19:25
qman__unfortunately many are not designed this way19:25
qman__srcds, for example, will only run on an interactive console19:26
qman__and as mentioned, ut2k4 spawns its own interactive X-based console19:26
qman__I don't know about nexuiz or openarena, but if made right, they shouldn't need anything of the sort running19:27
qman__minecraft also only runs on an interactive console19:28
VampsDaBeastso again, i would only need open ssh19:29
qman__only if you need remote shell access19:29
VampsDaBeastnot many server's have heads do they?19:29
qman__my point is, ssh is not a requirement for a game server19:30
qman__it's simply accessory19:30
qman__you probably want it19:30
qman__but it's not required19:30
VampsDaBeastok19:30
VampsDaBeastis there any packages for monitoring?19:31
qman__depends on what you want to monitor19:31
qman__there's tons of them19:31
VampsDaBeastsome that would monitor the game server setup19:31
qman__depends on that game server19:32
qman__it's not really a standard thing19:32
VampsDaBeasti'm just gettin awake so words arent coming to me19:32
qman__each game or game engine does its own thing19:32
qman__you could port monitor to see if it's up, or monitor that the process is running, but that's about it regarding the game server itself19:32
VampsDaBeasthow bout activity?19:33
VampsDaBeastlike number of users connected, map , stats19:33
VampsDaBeaststuff ike that..19:33
qman__all part of the game server you're running19:34
qman__if it's available at all, it's going to be specific to your game19:34
VampsDaBeastthe game i'm lookin at is nexuiz.19:34
qman__I don't know about it, I've never used it19:35
qman__but you'll have to see the documentation on the game server19:35
qman__probably check out any communities around the game19:35
qman__that sort of information only exists inside the game, and as such is specific to each game or game engine, it's not something you can poll in a standard manner19:37
VampsDaBeastok19:37
qman__you might be able to load scripts for that game server, or write something up to parse log files if it has some19:37

args[0]is there any good tutorial on how to install ventrilo on a ubuntu server?23:36
KM0201args[0]: this is for 9.10 but.. it may point you in the right direction.23:38
KM0201http://rocketeerbkw.com/content/installing-ventrilo-server-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala23:38
args[0]I was checking that out earlier, but I asked myself.. why should I create a user just for ventrilo? KM020123:38
KM0201args[0]: honestly, i was just wondering that myself.. but some people just do stuff like that (for instance, I create FTP user for FTP access)23:39
args[0]KM0201: hmm.. I see. Thanks for your input.23:40
KM0201args[0]: if thats your only deal breaker though... you can easily skip that step.23:40
