[00:51] <blizzkid> lo all, I'm running hostapd on Lucid. When I try to connect my clients (wpa2) it keeps looping over "authenticated", "associated", "radius starting accounting session", "wpa pairwise key handshake completed (rsn)", "disassociated", "deauthenticated" and clients never get a completed connection
[01:25] <Nivex> Are we early enough in the cycle to request a newer version of a package to be pulled from Debian unstable?
[08:30] <holmen> hi
[08:31] <holmen> has anyone made any experiances with native zfs on linux that he'd like to share? :)
[12:13] <rurufufuss> any recommendation for tools to monitor process usage statistics and export them to html etc?
[12:27] <ikonia> rurufufuss: cactai ?
[12:56] <drbobb> hello, I need some tips on installing to a iscsi volume
[12:57] <drbobb> the ubuntu-server installer seems to support this, but it insists on autogenerating some random initiator name, instead of prompting me for one
[12:58] <drbobb> this doesn't make sense, because the iscsi server expects a specific initiator name
[12:59] <drbobb> otherwise it won't provide the volume allocated to me
[13:09] <RoyK> drbobb: never tried that - what version, btw?
[13:09] <drbobb> 11.10
[13:10] <RoyK> could you try with 10.04LTS?
[13:10] <RoyK> no idea, really, I've never tried installing on iSCSI, but it might be worth a try
[13:11] <RoyK> seems random initiator name is default in 10.04 too...
[13:12] <drbobb> big fail
[13:12] <RoyK> could you possibly "allow all" during ubuntu install and then restrict access later? seems others have done that
[13:13] <RoyK> also, I'd file a bug on that one if I were you...
[13:13] <drbobb> well I see a different way to handle this
[13:14] <demolition> I have a "file", which contents filepath. Every line is like /home/user/dir/filename, except every filename is totally different. How do I batch process this to move every file listed in it to one dir? (with mv)
[13:14] <drbobb> since I'm actually setting up a virtualbox vm, I'll just use the virtualbox iscsi support
[13:15] <drbobb> also saves me fooling around with pxeboot
[13:15] <RoyK> demolition: mv `cat filename` newdir
[13:16] <RoyK> or
[13:16] <RoyK> for i in `cat filename`; do mv $i newdir; done
[13:16] <RoyK> the latter may work better if the number of files is huge
[13:17] <drbobb> demolition: though you'll have some trouble if the filenames contain spaces
[13:18] <demolition> yes, I have
[13:22] <drbobb> I would use rsync, see the --files-from option
[13:23] <RoyK> demolition: then start with adding quotes around each filename: perl -e 's/^/\"/; s/$/\"/;' -i filename
[13:23] <RoyK> or do as drbobb suggested :P
[13:23] <RoyK> drbobb: that won't move them, though
[13:24] <demolition> solved it
[13:25] <RoyK> how? quotes?
[13:25] <drbobb> RoyK: true. But it just leaves deleting the source files afterward:P
[13:26] <RoyK> drbobb: then same problem with spaces :P
[13:26] <demolition> "while read -r line; do mv "$line" /path/to/destination/; done < filename"
[13:26] <RoyK> ah
[13:26]  * demolition is feeling cheered up, processing >500 files by hand is a hell
[14:50] <pythonirc101> who is updating /etc/motd? I tried editing, but lost my edit?
[14:51] <patdk-lap> did you visit /etc/update-motd.d/
[16:54] <_johnny> hi, i'm having trouble starting named (BIND). i've had a working setup for a while, so i'm not sure what has changed. when i start /usr/sbin/named it just exists right away (gdb reports exit code 1). -d 1..100 does not give any verbose output. any ideas?
[16:56] <_johnny> my bad - i had checked system.log, but apparently i missed this line: named.conf had a syntax error. still, would've been nice if named bin had said that, but.. i should've watched the syslog more closely, d'oh ;)
[17:37] <pythonirc101> whats the best way to find files in ubuntu? with minimum disk/ram/cpu usage?
[17:37] <pythonirc101> generally i use locate -- anythin better?
[17:48] <RoyK> pythonirc101: locate is usualy the best so long as the data is indexed, which is usually done nightly
[17:48] <RoyK> pythonirc101: for finding files in realtime, find is the only one I know
[17:52] <patdk-lap> I find locate is a huge waste of resoures
[17:52] <patdk-lap> it's the first thing I uninstall on a new machine
[17:54] <pythonirc101> thats why i asked
[17:54] <MattJ> Any idea why 'do-release-upgrade' returns "No new release found" on 10.04.3?
[17:54] <pythonirc101> if not locate -- then ?
[17:55] <pythonirc101> MattJ: that is the latest
[17:56] <MattJ> There hasn't been a new major release for 18 months?
[17:57] <pythonirc101> MattJ: thats the server LTS version
[17:58] <pythonirc101> Thats the latest i think
[17:58] <MattJ> I don't want LTS though
[17:58] <MattJ> Even 'do-release-upgrade -d' says there is no release
[17:59] <JanC> MattJ: is the mirror you are using up-to-date?
[18:00] <MattJ> I should hope so, it's gb.archive.ubuntu.com
[18:00] <JanC> and IIRC there is a config setting that keeps you on LTS if it is set (although I'd expect '-d' should get around that?)
[18:00] <MattJ> I think I have an idea... bad network connection
[18:00] <MattJ> I just tried -d again, and it started, then failed with an error
[18:01] <MattJ> Right, yes, -d is working now (without -d still insists there's nothing new)
[18:01] <MattJ> I suspected an LTS-only option, but I can't find it anywhere
[18:02] <patdk-lap> you have to edit the config to change that
[18:02] <MattJ> Which one?
[18:03] <patdk-lap> one in /etc
[18:03] <SJr> My video card is dead in my server, I rebooted my machine (unknowingly), and now when it boots up I can ping it but can't ssh
[18:03] <SJr> I'm wondering what key combinations will let me do something without a monitor
[18:03] <SJr> or knowing where I am
[18:03] <patdk-lap> File /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[18:04] <MattJ> patdk-lap, magic, works... thanks :)
[18:04] <JanC> SJr: you're lucky it boots at all  ;)
[18:05] <SJr> I can't get signal out of any of the ports
[18:05] <SJr> not really this is annoying, I have no idea why there isn't a simple way to have ssh start up almost asap
[18:05] <SJr> this is always so annoying to deal with.
[18:05] <JanC> most BIOS implementations will halt booting if they find no graphics card...  :-(
[18:06] <SJr> I'm not even sure why it can't find the video card but who knows
[18:06] <SJr> this is the second video card that's died in this machine in 2 years I think
[18:06] <SJr> and more importantly I do more with my server that want it to respond to pings
[18:06] <MattJ> SJr, pings are handled by the kernel, not a running application... so it doesn't mean anything has started yet (including sshd)
[18:06] <JanC> maybe something wrong with the monitor or kvm switch attached?
[18:07] <SJr> no kvm switch, and no the monitors are fine, I'm seeing what you type on them
[18:07] <SJr> I reseated the video card in another port
[18:08] <JanC> maybe it could even be some remote access thing in the network card itself that responds to ping?
[18:08] <MattJ> Yes, that's also possible in some cards
[18:08] <SJr> I highly doubt that, by server I mean an expensive desktop motherboard :)
[18:09] <JanC> SJr: I meant something wrong electrically that causes graphics cards to die soon
[18:09] <MattJ> SJr, yeah, I gathered... real servers don't have video cards to begin with :)
[18:09] <JanC> SJr: intel "Pro" desktop boards have something like that
[18:09] <MattJ> SJr, real servers also typically have a serial port that links direct into a terminal for problems like this
[18:10] <SJr> yeah I wonder if I should go find a real server on the next upgrade, but this mother board is so cool
[18:11] <JanC> SJr: if the video card is broken, it's very likely that a desktop BIOS will refuse to boot at all
[18:11] <SJr> yeah I'm not sure it does make some stupid beeping sound
[18:11] <JanC> eh
[18:12] <SJr> when I turn it on
[18:12] <SJr> but I'm 99% positive that it's linux responding to the pings or else how would it know it's IP address
[18:12] <JanC> try to find a beep reference for your motherboard/BIOS  ;)
[18:12] <SJr> If it's doing a scan of the disks
[18:13] <SJr> CTRL+C will stop that right
[18:13] <SJr> and if it's at prompting for root it'll be asking for CTRL+D then the password?
[18:14] <SJr> wtf?
[18:14] <SJr> well the system finally rebooted
[18:15] <SJr> Anyway I guess the question to address is
[18:16] <SJr> what was my system doing
[18:16] <MattJ> /var/log/syslog
[18:17] <SJr> I don't see any references to drive scans
[19:02] <SJr> odd I can no longer mount one of my drives, I wonder if that's why it stalled on boot.
[19:11] <toddnine> Hi guys.  I'm trying to run a 10.10 instance image on aws.  I think the ami's linked here are incorrect.  The one's labeled as instance are actually EBS backed.  Who do I get in touch with to ask about this?
[19:11] <toddnine> http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/10.10/release/
[19:18] <patdk-lap> toddnine, it's pretty easy
[19:18] <patdk-lap> the ones that say ebs, or ebs backed
[19:18] <patdk-lap> the ones that stay instance, aren't
[19:19] <toddnine> patdk-lap: At first glance you're correct, but look at the us-east-1 region
[19:19] <toddnine> the one labeled instance is actually the same instance as the ebs
[19:19] <toddnine> I just started up 12 of them and they're all ebs backed
[19:20] <toddnine> It seems to just be an error with the page, for instance the us-west-2 region has 2 separate instances
[19:20] <patdk-lap> ah, someone duplicated the id's
[19:22] <toddnine> patdk-lap: Any ideas on how to search for them manually?  I'm trying to use the ec2 console, but it's not really very helpful, even if I prefix the search with "099720109477/".  There just doesn't appear to be a instance image available with the latest build.
[19:24] <toddnine> The text file looks correct.  http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/10.10/release/published-ec2-release.txt.orig
[19:30] <toddnine> patdk-lap: Any ideas where I should report this?
[19:36] <patdk-lap> nope
[19:36] <patdk-lap> file a bug on launchpad
[19:45] <amaroks> Hi guys
[19:46] <amaroks> 	Looking for a paid assistance, Where is the best place?
[19:55] <pythonirc101> how do i reverse the changes that this command makes --> update-rc.d paste defaults
[20:05] <RoyK> amaroks: I'd use a local contractor
[20:05] <RoyK> amaroks: but then, what's wrong?
[20:05] <amaroks> We dont have contractors here
[20:05] <RoyK> where?
[20:05] <amaroks> its just small ,need to install SSL on Ubuntu LAMP Stack
[20:05] <amaroks> Cyprus
[20:05] <RoyK> ok
[20:05] <amaroks> they don't even know what is Linux
[20:07] <RoyK> there's probably linux geeks hiding in the woods there as well
[20:08] <RoyK> anyway - setting up SSL for apache is doable even without help
[20:08] <air_> look for the ones with long beard
[20:08] <air_> :P
[20:08] <air_> good evening.
[20:08] <amaroks> I couldnt do it, I tried
[20:09] <amaroks> thats why need help asap
[20:09] <RoyK> have you bought a certificate?
[20:10] <amaroks> Yes
[20:10] <amaroks> I have it
[20:10] <amaroks> and EC2 from amazon with elastic IP
[20:10] <amaroks> generated CSR ,just not working for namecheap
