webPragmatisthow do i address this sendmail error00:14
webPragmatistWARNING: local host name (...) is not qualified00:14
webPragmatistweird00:17
Mum29Change your hostname maybe00:18
Mum29Check the server is connected to the net as well00:18
webPragmatistMum29: ya that was it… now i am having a differred error00:26
Mum29Post it00:26
webPragmatisti can send to like my google domain but i can't send to the localdomain i am sending from00:26
webPragmatisthttp://pastie.textmate.org/private/bv6glytvvaaaj6csxbxqwg00:26
Mum29send to localdomain from local domain, that sounds a bit strange00:26
SpamapSwebPragmatist: any reason you're using sendmail ?00:26
webPragmatistkinda just because it was the first thing i got working00:27
Mum29I use a external mail service for all our mail needs, 2-3 bucks a month and you can remove all mail stuff from the server and use its ressources for better stuff00:28
SpamapSwebPragmatist: sendmail does not get much favor with ubuntu. Most users prefer postfix or exim00:28
SpamapSMum29: many programs still want to run /usr/bin/sendmail instead of connect to an external SMTP server00:28
SpamapSMum29: tho for that, there's ssmtp. :)00:28
Mum29extra s in there than im used too. google is good00:29
Mum29Sure, but i get no errors in the logs about. the php scripts i use works with smtp server and pw00:29
Mum29Btw while im here, something i wanted to ask some experts about for a long time. I run this command on all my setups. Sometimes with imagick, apc or xcache, but stream downed it looks like this.00:30
Mum29sudo apt-get install apache2 curl mcrypt mysql-common mysql-client mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql phpmyadmin php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-common php5-cli php5-cgi php5-curl php5-gd php5-mcrypt php5-mysql php-pear00:30
Mum29Is there something thats not needed in there or something i can do to optimise the setup on a command level ?00:31
webPragmatistSpamapS: ah this is much easier to setup00:37
webPragmatistmor importantly it works heh00:39
SpamapSMum29: mysql-common is not needed, it will be pulled in by mysql-client and mysql-server00:39
Mum29Thx SpamapS00:39
SpamapSMum29: also why do you have php5-cgi?00:39
SpamapSanyway, time to disconnect from the net for a while and experience the "real" world. :)00:40
Mum29Not really sure. phpBB3 or wordpress wont really need it. Oh and i have that a2seXX something for .htaccess00:40
* SpamapS disappears00:40
Mum29Enjoy00:40
l0nmum29, prob not what you're after but, if you use a simpler list e.g. install apache2, you can combine it with --no-install-recommends to only install the min packages needed00:40
Mum29Mm not a bad idea, even though i think the software i run needs most of it. but php info has alot of versions of software. That command wont not install of those. Just the apt-get packages that apache2 nornally includes00:42
l0nyeah, you would have to use --no-install-recommends on all the major packages to see if you're adding anything that isn't needed00:44
Mum29wouldt apt-get apache2 mysql-server --no-install-recommends do that on all packages included in the comman ?00:46
l0nnot sure, give it a go, it should ask you to confirm before actually doing anything so you can have a look at the packages before it installs00:48
Mum29Sure forgot that, but thanks didnt think of that option00:50

kaushalAny clue about http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/747876/ ?05:11
kaushalthis server also has high %wa05:12
TimRdoes anybody know how I can test a dial up modem inside command line?05:12
kaushalAny clue ?05:12
kaushalis it due to failing Hard Drive issue ?05:12
kaushal10.04.1 LTS05:13
patdk-lapwell %wa says your disks aren't responding quick enough05:14
patdk-lapwhat your paste is, I dunno05:14
kaushalis there a way to find out which process hogs high %wa ?05:14
patdk-lapever think about trying smartdrv on your disks to check them?05:15
kaushalok05:15
twbTimR: screen /dev/ttyS0 115200, send an ATZ05:15
kaushalpatdk-lap: smartdrv ?05:16
patdk-lapin smartmontools I think05:16
l0nkaushal, you can see disk usage by getting the kernel to log it using sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump"05:16
kaushall0n: ok05:16
l0nbut only leave it going for a little bit if you have high %wa05:17
l0ndisable it by echoing 005:17
kaushalso do i need to look for dmesg after running sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump" ?05:17
l0nprob would appear in dmesg output but I normally look at /var/log/messages05:17
kaushalok05:17
l0nalso, with smartmontools, if you can't see anything obviously wrong, run a long test05:19
kaushall0n: sure and thanks05:20
l0nOn a side note, if anyone is looking for a really good script to show disk usage per process, this looks really good although I haven't personally tried it: http://www.zarafa.com/wiki/index.php/Monitoring_Disk_IO_per_process05:25
* patdk-lap just uses iotop05:27
* patdk-lap continues the rsync, that just won't end05:27
greppyTimR: minicom should let you test a modem.05:27
patdk-lapI figure it will take rsync a month atleast to copy this data05:28
l0nI've had problems with iotop because of it using a certain verison of python, not sure if that was on Ubuntu though05:29
patdk-lapproblems?05:29
patdk-lapthe only issue I have ever had, was attempting to use it on old dead kernels, and I have discontinued them05:30
l0nyeah, don't think old kernels had the ability to monitor disk usage but issues I've had is that it just doesn't work because of some issue with python05:31
patdk-lapsome issue with python? I don't use python05:31
patdk-lap:)05:31
l0niotop uses python :)05:31
TimRdoes anybody know how to install the drivers for the intel 537ep chip set dial up modem05:36
twbpatdk-lap: I use iostat fwiw05:37

Puck`hi everyone08:47
Puck`could anyone send me off to some documentation where I could read about setting up ubuntu server with media playback capabilities? I want to play a stream on the server, no X08:48
twbmplayer -vo null -ao alsa foo.mp308:49
twbOr mpd or xmms208:49
Puck`hmm, thank you twb08:50
twbmpd is simple, xmms2 is flexible08:50
Puck`I'll go with mpd then08:50
twbmplayer and vlc are more if you just want to play a file now, mpd/xmms2 are more about wanting a playlist08:50
Puck`I want to plaay a stream, icecast one08:51
twbstreamripper then, perhaps08:51
twbOr just mplayer -playlist http://example.net/foo.m3u08:51
twbhttp://cyber.com.au/~twb/.bin/radio is what I do, specifically08:51
Puck`that'll do, I think I just messed up, I installed mplayer with everything, so I think Gnome is being installed now, mhm, no worries, I'll start from the beginning08:51
twbmplayer builds on ubuntu are probably stupid08:52
twbmy mplayer stuff is on debian so I'm not sure08:52

uksysadminI've been editing my preseed files and for some reason now my late_command section isn't being executed.  no errors in the logs - just a bit weird.  Does the preseed file have a finite length? Does it get downloaded on the system for me to interrogate to see if its got all the right stuff in?10:54
koolhead11uksysadmin: you have to check via syslog11:06
koolhead11atleast that is what i used while using preseed and deploying the stuff11:06
uksysadminyeah /var/log/installer/syslog - just doesn't have anything abotu any command being run.  it could be because of an extra \ I added for some reason... just trying again.  23rd time's a charm.11:10
uksysadminI'm nearly there with what I wanted to achieve though - 1) to understand pxebooting and preseeding with Ubuntu and 2) booting a new nova-compute node using this process11:12
uksysadminI'll then look at whether or not its the "right way" to do this... I do feel compelled to get this working by doing juju stuff.11:13
koolhead11uksysadmin: but you can do the same using Juju11:13
koolhead11instead late command in preseed11:13
uksysadmindo you have an example - would love to see how it gets done.11:13

KhasHello.  I'm running a server with a public IP, and I'm trying to set up a bridge for openvpn.  Is this possible, or do I need an intermediate virtual interface to do the DHCP for the vpn?15:01
SpamapSKhas: the server has a real IP on one interface, and a non-routable IP on the other?15:08
KhasThere is only one interface current, eht0, with a public IP.15:13
qman__you have to have somewhere to VPN to15:13
KhasAh yes, sorry.15:13
KhasThat will be tap015:13
qman__no, as in somewhere to reach with the VPN15:13
KhasSo what I've read suggests creating br0 between tap0 and eth015:13
qman__you can't VPN to the internet15:13
KhasAh I see.15:13
qman__well, you could, but it would be pointless15:13
qman__what is it you're actually trying to achieve?15:14
KhasI've got a routed vpn set up just now, but I want the server to use dnsmasq to issue the VPN addresses (10.8.0.0/24).15:15
KhasThen I can set it up so I can access the machines behind the VPN with host.vpn.mydomain.com15:15
qman__I mean overall, what scenario is this trying to solve?15:15
qman__a machine with only one interface, directly on the internet, has nowhere to VPN to, it's a bit silly15:16
KhasRoadwarrior setup where I can access each remote machines with a name.15:16
KhasAh no, you are confused.15:17
KhasThe server is the VPN server.15:17
KhasIt is what everything else VPNs -to-.15:17
qman__ok, that makes more sense15:17
KhasSo it creates a tap0 that listens for incoming connections.15:17
KhasI need to bridge that tap0 to eth0 to get out on the the internet.15:18
qman__but, in that case, unless I'm mistaken, you need to use routed VPN to create the network the machines communicate on15:18
KhasBut I want br0 and each vpn client to be issued a LAN IP by dnsmasq15:18
KhasNah, layer 2 bridging works too.15:18
KhasHere's the method I'm following: http://maverick.homelinux.net/blog/?p=19615:18
greppydo you really need a bridge, or just an iptables nat?15:18
SpamapSKhas: so it has one eth0, with a real and a fake address?15:19
Khaseth0 only has one address, which is real.15:19
SpamapSKhas: I'm trying to figure out where these servers are15:19
qman__you need to have some interface with the VPN address on it15:19
qman__real or virtual15:19
KhasAt present, using routing, tun0 is created with the LAN address15:20
Khas10.8.0.2115:20
Khas10.8.0.1 even.  This is using the standard ubuntu openvpn howto15:20
qman__but using tap, the tap interface doesn't get an IP15:21
qman__you need to bridge to the 'internal' interface, whether that's eth1 or a virtual interface like eth0:115:21
SpamapSyou can't really bridge onto an alias.. since they'd have the same MAC15:22
qman__true15:22
qman__I don't see this working with a tap/bridged configuration15:22
KhasWell that was my original question, do I need an intermediate virtual interface to make it work.15:23
KhasAt present, I can ifup br0, but then the server doesn't respond to any connections heh15:23
qman__I think you should stick with tun/routed and just route whatever it is you need to get through15:24
SpamapSKhas: explain where you want the packets to flow.. is it.. from the internet to your VPN clients?15:24
KhasOk.  I have a machine, zeus, which is my home machine.  It connects to the vpn, and uses tunneling to tunnel all traffic through the vpn.  However, I may want to access some services on zeus from outside.  I would like to access them through zeus.mydomain.com for example/.15:26
KhasThe easiest way to do that is to use dnsmasq to maintain the list of LAN IP > hostnames.15:27
KhasTo get dnsmasq to do that, it needs to provide the LAN IPs, -not- OpenVPN15:27
KhasWhich requires a layer 2 openvpn connection.15:27
qman__I don't know if what you want is possible without a second interface15:28
KhasWhich is why I was following that blog entry I posted. :-)15:28
qman__I do know that untangle can use DHCP reservations for openVPN clients15:28
KhasWell technically tap0 is the virtual interface to the VPN15:28
qman__which you could then use static DNS or hosts files15:28
KhasI'm not sure how many clients may eventually connect to my vpn though15:29
KhasWhich is why I'd like it dynamic.15:29
qman__you have to hand out keys for each client anyway15:29
SpamapSKhas: so dnsmasq would be running on zeus, to help you access.. zeus? And all clients would be sending their DNS queries accross the VPN to zeus?15:29
qman__setting up a DHCP reservation could be done at the same time, in the same script15:30
KhasNo. zeus is a client.  Call the server olympos or something :-P15:30
Khasqman__: you don't need to use separate keys.15:31
KhasIt's preferable to, but you don't have to.15:31

mstaessenshould I remove the  last entry before bringing up eth1?20:00
l0nwell it's already up you've just done it manually, I just wanted to make sure that would work20:01
l0nnot sure why you can't ping it remotely, I would imagine that's related to something else20:02
mstaessenProbably the firewall then... :s20:04
mstaessenbut I don't have access to that machine. D'oh!20:05
l0nwell, you'll prob want to have another look at why ifup isn't working whilst you're waiting for the firewall changes. It would be quite annoying if you had to manually bring it up post rebooting20:09
mstaessentrue that20:09
l0nactually that's a good point, you might want to try rebooting and see what happens, might even fix the problem20:09
mstaessendo you have any ideas?20:10
mstaessenwhat's the command to remove a route from the routing table? when I execute 'route del -net 193.190.253.80' I get an error20:10
l0nwhat's the error that you get?20:11
mstaessenSIOCDELRT: Invalid argument20:12
mstaessenno idea what that means :D20:12
l0ntry 'route del -net 193.190.253.80/29'20:13
mstaessenNow I get route: netmask doesn't match route address20:15
mstaessenwhich it should ... :s20:15
patdk-lapno that is /2820:15
patdk-lap.252 is /2920:16
mstaessenno, 248 is /29 ;)20:16
patdk-laphmm20:17
* patdk-lap needs to finish waking up20:17
patdk-lapbeen half asleep all day20:17
mstaessenlol :)20:17
mstaessenAnyway, I find it strange I cannot delete that route20:17
l0nI have to use calc when I do it regardless of how awake I am :(20:17
l0nidd, that's odd and that error msg makes no sense20:17
TimRcan anybody tell me how to get my dial up modem to work on my server? because I tried on the forum and not getting help.20:18
mstaessenhowever, when I ifconfig eth1 down, the route disappears20:18
l0nmaybe you have to do 'route del -net 193.190.253.80/29 eth1'20:18
TimRi am using Conexant dial up modem on ubuntu 10.04.3 lts with Linux 2.6.32-35-generic on i68620:18
mstaessenHey, that did it! :D20:18
l0nahh, so it defaults to eth020:19
rmozdenDid anyone see my dns question?20:19
patdk-laprmozden, the one that makes no sense? :)20:19
koo1kinda serverish question : how do i get programs like mc and finch play well with a monochrome crt? i tried "mono" at boot, some parameter for byobu...no change20:21
koo1setting term=vt100 obviously cked up the keyboard20:22
mstaessenl0n, when I do 'sudo route add -net 193.190.253.80/29 gw 193.190.253.86 eth1' I get "SIOCADDRT: No such process". Does that makes sense to you?20:23
TimRdoes anybody know?20:24
rmozdenpatdk-lap, I'm trying to hardcode the dns both internally and externally ( this is a permiter machine)20:24
rmozdenhostname is set to wolverine.mozden.us but I had to use my registrars dns to point it to the ip.  The ISP says they have put the record in on their dns but revers lookup is wrong20:25
rmozdenInternally I'm doing a smarthost to point to this machine for admin logs etc and just trying to make sure that it resolves appropriately.20:26
l0nI don't think it makes much sense to do that, you're trying to add a gateway for your local network, you prob want something more like: 'route add default gw 192.168.1.254 eth0'20:26
l0nunless you have different gateways for different networks20:27
patdk-laprmozden, you want your external ip to display your dns name?20:27
mstaessenl0n, ok20:27
mstaessenit doesn't really matter which gateway it uses20:27
rmozdenpatdk-lap, Correct.  I want it to resolve proper from inside and out20:27
patdk-lapthen you have to ask your isp that owns that ip to change it20:28
rmozdensupposedly they did20:28
patdk-lapwhat ip?20:28
rmozden24.154.9.1420:28
patdk-lapit works20:29
patdk-lapthey have a 1day ttl20:29
patdk-lapso it will likely take a day for you to see the change20:29
rmozdenit doesnt resolve that way from their newtwork20:30
rmozdenbut at least from outside  to the server it works20:30
patdk-lapcause the old entry is cached on their servers20:30
patdk-lapand it will take a day to flush it out20:30
rmozdenit's been like that for months20:30
patdk-lapwhat happens when you do a, dig -x 24.154.9.1420:31
rmozdenmaybe they finally fixed it after my last call to them20:32
rmozdenlooks that way anyhow20:32
rmozdennow to go deal with the other 5 addresses - lol20:33
rmozdenthx for the help20:33
TimRdoes anybody know how to setup a dial up modem on 10.04.3lts?20:34
rmozdenOh, while I'm thinking of addresses, is there anyway of doing the ifcfg-netblk on ubunto for a block of addresses o am I stuck entering them all in manual?20:34
RoyKTimR: with ppp?20:36
RoyKTimR: or what do you want to do? zmodem transfer? chat?20:37
TimRwell see the modem doesnt apper to show up20:37
TimRim trying to create a dial up server20:37
RoyKTimR: install minicom20:37
RoyKTimR: with minicom, you should be able to dialup manually, when that works, try to setup ppp if that's what you need20:38
RoyKTimR: do you mean IP over modem?20:38
patdk-lapI think he wants to setup a upstart script for the modem, that runs ppp20:38
TimRI am trying to create dial up server20:38
TimRwell the modem isnt installed from what I am seeing20:38
koo1does nobody use monochrome crts anymore?20:38
RoyKTimR: a dial up server can be a lot of things...20:39
TimRI am trying to be dial up ISP20:39
RoyKTimR: that'll be ppp, then20:39
TimRbut the modem isnt installed so I need to install it20:39
RoyKTimR: what do you mean "not installed"?20:40
RoyKTimR: is it connected to the PC with a serial cable?20:40
TimRno20:40
TimRits PCI card20:40
RoyKthen what sort of modem?20:40
patdk-lapoh? it's a softmodem, how evil20:40
RoyKa winmodem? or does it show up as a serial port?20:40
patdk-lapsoftmodems are just soundcards20:40
TimRConexant Systems, Inc. HSF 56k HSFi Modem20:40
RoyKsoftmodems == evil20:40
patdk-lapsoftmodem :)20:41
rmozdenewwww20:41
RoyKTimR: get a good old serial modem20:41
TimRI have one20:41
RoyKthen use that one instead20:41
TimRit was from mac20:41
patdk-laptimr: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/20:42
TimRI see that and I have to pay 20 dollars for the licease20:42
patdk-lapyep20:42
patdk-lapthere is no support for softmodems20:42
patdk-lapif you want to use that thing20:42
patdk-lapotherwise you need a real hardware modem that looks like a serial port20:42
TimRI will just use my serial modem I guess20:42
RoyKor something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/USR-US-Robotics-Sportster-External-dial-up-serial-analog-dialup-modem-33-6-fax-/150680494982?pt=PCC_Modems&hash=item231541e38620:48
* pmatulis does not want to open that link to see the picture20:49
RoyKlol20:49
RoyKthat modem cost about the same 15 or 20 years ago...20:50
pmatulissure, it's so old the price is going up20:50
linociscohow can I build my own ubuntu server based settop box ??20:51
TimRi dont have that one but I have a best data that was used for a mac20:52
RoyKlinocisco: shouldn't be too hard with some atom-based mobo or perhaps something with an ARM cpu, install mythtv or something similar...20:52
RoyKTimR: so long it uses rs/323, anything should work20:52
linociscoRoyK: if I M not familiar with electronic, how can I do?20:52
RoyKyou may not get 56,7kbps, but...20:53
RoyKlinocisco: no need to be familiar with electronics - just get something small and install ubuntu on it :)20:53
RoyKplese mind that not all ARM stuff works on newer ubuntu, things like guruplug uses older arm arch, not supported > ubuntu 9.0420:54
linociscoRoyK: how to build USB port Network port. It should be portable and placable on rack20:54
RoyKlinocisco: just get anything with usb and network and ubuntu should autodetect it...20:54
genii-aroundTimR: What vendor:device code the thing has?20:55
TimRare you talking about the external or pci card there genii-around20:55
RoyKgenii-around: no vendor:device code for something on rs/323 :P20:55
genii-aroundTimR: PCI. A while ago I wrote a how-to on the forums for Conexant Winmodems20:56
RoyKwinmodem == evil20:56
linociscoRoyK: is there anything on step by step how to ? I want to build and sell them20:56
TimRpci dev: PCIDEV=14f1:2f0020:57
TimRIDENT=hsfmodem20:57
genii-aroundTimR: Maybe check from my posting at #49 at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1015673&page=5  ... it's a bit old but should still work20:57
RoyKlinocisco: you don't need to build anything, just get something small that can run ubuntu and the rest is just software...20:57
linociscoRoyK: I dont know how to find it20:58
linociscoRoyK:  that is the problem. It should not resemble a real computer20:58
RoyKlinocisco: there are MANY small single-board computers out there - if you want to start somewhere, why not with a pandaboard? a bit overkill, but good for lab work20:59
linociscoRoyK: i have heard of it. I will google it21:00
RoyKlinocisco: a beaglebone is small ...21:00
TimRso genii is it going to work on 10.04.3 lts?21:00
genii-aroundTimR: We got it working as far as Maverick, so yes21:01
TimRalright I will give this a try21:01
genii-aroundTimR: If you upgrade the kernel you have to redo the last part ( hsfconfig ) after21:02
* RoyK is off to sleep21:02
TimRwell I am running: Linux 2.6.32-35-generic on i68621:03
genii-aroundTimR: I'll be around for another hour, if you run into problems ping21:04
TimRwell I am getting ready to leave here soon for thanksgiving21:04
TimRgenii-around did you get my PM?21:07
