[00:58] <hilarie> How can I unmount a USB drive if its busy (trying to format it so it doesn't matter whats on it or anything)
[01:00] <RoyK> umount -l ?
[01:01] <hilarie> :)
[01:02] <hilarie> WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument.
[01:02] <hilarie> The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at
[01:02] <hilarie> the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)
[01:02] <hilarie> sorry, thought that was 1 line
[01:03] <RoyK> yank the usb cable
[01:04] <hilarie> Bleh, thats a half hour drive
[01:04] <qman__> find the process that's accessing it and kill it
[01:04] <qman__> lsof should be of help
[01:10] <hilarie> I'd pastebin that but crap thats alot of lines
[01:10] <hilarie> be back in an hour :)
[01:11] <qman__> that's what grep's for
[01:12] <qman__> hilarie, lsof | grep /where/it/was/mounted
[04:01] <hilarie>  I don't understand, do you perform these steps on the server that has the stuff, or the client that wants the things? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync#Rsync_Daemon
[04:02] <hallyn> stgraber: yeah i was being silly with the double loop, just didn't want to wait 10 seconds for each container in serial.  fixed in the tree
[04:02] <hallyn> stgraber: I'm ok with extending lxc-stop instead.  not sure what is preferable
[04:08] <hilarie>  I don't understand, do you perform these steps on the server that has the stuff, or the client that wants the things? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync#Rsync_Daemon
[04:12] <hallyn> hilarie: well, you run an rsync (or these days more likely an sshd) server on the server, then run rsync from the client
[04:12] <hallyn> long as sshd is running on the server you can rsync to/from it
[04:16] <hilarie> I am able to rsync from it now
[04:16] <hilarie> I'd just like to be able to do it automatically
[04:20] <hilarie> hallyn so if I can grab from the server already, its set up on that side, how can I set my *local* server to pull from it on a regular basis
[04:24] <hallyn> cron
[04:25] <hallyn> (but i do it by hand, as i switch back+forth between laptops)
[04:26] <hallyn> gnight
[04:28] <hilarie> thank you hallyn
[04:45] <stgraber> hallyn: extending lxc-stop would make it more like openvz where "vzctl stop" asks init to shutdown the container, then after a timeout (1 or 2 minutes I think), kill the container
[04:45] <stgraber> I think if it's not too much effort, it'd make sense to have that part of lxc-stop and be pushed upstream, having lxc-stop + lxc-shutdown might confuse some people
[04:57] <randomDude> any ideas on how i would make my freeradius authorise based on ldap but authenticate based on kerberos ? (ie samba4)
[04:58] <randomDude> i have the ldap part working, but freeradius rejects since samba4 doesn't keep passwords in the ldap, it keeps them in the kerberos database i think
[04:58] <hallyn> stgraber: i'll see how upstream feels about a patch to taht effect
[04:59] <hallyn> (now i'm off, gnight :)
[09:35] <m-Ali> hello guys
[11:57] <acidflash> hello all
[11:58] <acidflash> i am fscking my computer, and on a particular drive, i was asked probably half a million times to fix the inodes, and after all that, my screen is now being flooded with numbers, and the cpu is 100% and its been like that for a while,
[11:58] <acidflash> any idea why this is happening, and if its normal or not  (while trying to repair file system)
[12:15] <nancy--> any good tutorial to configure my domain dns with my linux server ? how to set A records , nameservers, ns record, mx record. etc. i dont know a crap..?
[12:23] <bluefrog> nancy--, http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/
[12:24] <nancy-->  how to set A records , nameservers, ns record, mx record. etc. i
[12:24] <nancy--> bluefrog,
[12:26] <acidflash> nancy--: thats daemon specific
[12:27] <acidflash> nancy--: the truth is, you should specify which DNS daemon you are using, in order to get that kind of answer
[12:28] <StevenR_> nancy--: in fact, let's keep everything here, rather than in two channels
[12:28] <nancy--> i have registered  a domain.com and i have a vps with apache2 installed (ubuntu) . i want to set up A records , namesservers, ns reocrds and other. and on the vps i need a seperate forlder in /var/www/site  for each domain. how can i do it. is there a tutorial?
[12:28] <nancy--> k
[12:29] <bluefrog> nancy--, http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/
[12:29] <nancy--> bluefrog,  ok. thats for vps. what about domain
[12:29] <StevenR_> nancy--: so, does your registrar host your domain for you?
[12:29] <bluefrog> serverguide is for you. talking about dns apache virtual host and so on
[12:30] <nancy--> StevenR_,  no . as i told you . i have a vps
[12:30] <Nafallo> I suspect the nice registrar has an exciting web interface to make dns configuration easy
[12:30] <nancy--> bluefrog,  i dont know how to put ips and names in dns control panell of domain
[12:31] <StevenR_> (having a vps doesn't mean your domain is or isn't hosted with your registrar)
[12:31] <nancy--> Nafallo,  ^
[12:32] <nancy--> my dns would be hosted by the registrar i gues.
[12:32] <nancy--> its from fastdomains
[12:32] <Nafallo> oh dear.
[12:33] <StevenR_> Nafallo: ?
[12:33] <Nafallo> I've had very bad experience with them.
[12:33] <nancy--> like what
[12:33] <Nafallo> such as pulling the NS records for a domain without asking and not being able to give them back.
[12:34] <Nafallo> the domain has been down for a year by now.
[12:34] <Nafallo> so yeah; oh dear
[12:34] <StevenR_> ok, so use their control panel to set up the domain hosting (not the same as web hosting) and create the records that you need. Then setup the appropriate virtual hosts on your vps.
[12:34] <StevenR_> nancy--: ^^
[12:35] <nancy--> i have control pannel by which i can chage A records. nameservers etc. thats all
[12:36]  * StevenR_ lunch &
[12:39] <nancy--> what should i put in ns record?
[12:51] <nancy--> acidflash,  so that relates to the linux server? no the domain. i mean i have to setup the bind server first to put something like ns1.ip here.   ?
[12:52] <acidflash> nancy--: yes
[12:52] <acidflash> nancy--: I personally use unbound, not bind
[12:52] <nancy--> k
[12:52] <acidflash> unbound is forwarding resolving caching dns
[12:52] <acidflash> bind is not
[12:53] <nancy--> k
[13:23] <nancy-->  if i need to setup my domains with my vps. what things do i need to setup?
[13:29] <nancy-->  if i need to setup my domains with my vps. what things do i need to setup?
[13:35] <nancy-->  i have a .com domain. and a vps. how to host my site?
[14:08] <nancy-->  i have a .com domain. and a vps. how to host my site?
[14:09] <oCean> nancy--: don't crosspost please
[14:24] <wonderman> hi, can someone tell me how to check what scripts will run on reboot of my server, previously apache has modules loaded that i had disabled, and i want to know if ubuntu's default config is telling it to do this
[14:27] <qman__> did you use a2dismod to disable them?
[14:27] <wonderman> yes
[14:28] <wonderman> it may not happen this time around, but it did previously, and i want to be sure before i reboot
[14:28] <qman__> check for links in /etc/apache2/modules-enabled/
[14:28] <wonderman> what is the cleanest way to reboot btw? never really do it but ive upgraded a bunch of packages
[14:28] <wonderman> kernel also
[14:28] <qman__> if it's in there, it gets loaded, if not, it doesn't
[14:28] <qman__> sudo reboot
[14:29] <qman__> you can also press ctrl alt delete at a local console
[14:32] <wonderman> okies
[14:59] <nancy-->  i have set it up. virtual host is set and A record is set too. but the domain is not opening the index.htm on my vps. why is that?
[16:39] <jcastro> smoser, is it possible to move an s3 bucket from one person to another?
[16:39] <jcastro> or copy from one to another without downloading first and then reuploading?
[16:45] <koolhead17> second option is possible jcastro :)
[16:45] <jcastro> ok
[16:54] <wonderman> nancy--: thats hardly any info
[17:03] <nancy--> wonderman,  http://pastebin.com/EfFLn92z any help?
[17:20] <nancy--> http://pastebin.com/EfFLn92z any help with permission for apache ?
[17:24] <oCean> nancy--: STOP posting in 2 channels
[17:29] <koolhead17> nancy--, have you tried installing apache before?
[17:29] <nancy--> yes but never configured bind
[17:30] <koolhead17> nancy--, what exactly your trying to install
[17:31] <koolhead17> i see phpmyadmin
[17:31] <koolhead17> webmin
[17:31] <koolhead17> and other stuff there
[17:32] <nancy--> koolhead17,  i installed apache. php, mysql and bind. was trying to configure bind . restarted. and got errors
[17:32] <oCean> nancy--: I removed you from #ubuntu. You can ask here, but not in 2 channels
[17:32] <ikonia> too late
[17:32] <ikonia> I'd already removed him (lag)
[17:33] <koolhead17> ikonia, :P
[18:29] <wonderman> nancy you obv have no idea what you are doing
[18:29] <wonderman> start by reading some docs
[20:36] <dsirijus> so, i have this java server (smartfox)... where should i place it (it's extract and run thing)?
[21:53] <lickalott> anyone know of a good C channel?
[22:06] <guntbert> lickalott: ##c   :-)
[22:24] <KBentley57> hey guys, upon each reboot, does ubuntu server do a fsk?
[22:32] <RoyK> fsk fsk fsk
[22:40] <hallyn> stgraber: despite the changelog msg, ubuntu:upstart does *not* have debian/conf/power-status-changed.conf
[22:41] <stgraber> hallyn: look for /etc/init/shutdown.conf instead
[22:42] <stgraber> hallyn: I renamed it to avoid potential event name conflict between the main event (power-status-changed) and the start/stop events emited by the job with the same name
[22:42] <hallyn> ah i see
[22:43] <hallyn> in that case, i'm trying to figure out why 'stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[016]' is not triggering
[22:44] <hallyn> does shutdown not change the runlevel?
[22:44] <hallyn> seems unsafe
[22:48] <hallyn> in particular, libvirt won't stop its vms if the host gets SIGPWR, it seems
[22:49] <stgraber> shutdown not changing runlevel sounds like a bug, it definitely should do it which should trigger upstart's rc job
[22:50] <hallyn> no i misunderstood
[22:50] <hallyn> the problem is that pre-stop isn'g being done
[22:50] <hallyn> post-stop is
[22:51] <hallyn> (i think that's what's going on)
[23:38] <KBentley57> hey, Just coming back for a few minutes.  I've installed ubuntu server on a pc with 5 hard disks.  Everything works pretty much fine, except whenever I reboot, sometimes it thrashes for hours, and I can't login to see what is happening (headless).  I know that sometimes it does a file system check, and sometimes it re-syncs the softraid, could it be anything else?
