[00:23] <genii-around> sarthor: http://frontaccounting.com/wb3/pages/products/features.php is not bad. There is also a package for it already in Ubuntu
[02:26] <Hoyt> hi , how should I start the VM after ubuntu-vm-builder completed ?
[02:26] <Hoyt> the kernel in the config was specified as 'None'
[02:30] <koolhead17> jamespage, ping
[05:25] <carwatt> any idea mkdir: cannot create directory `test': Read-only file system
[05:25] <carwatt> ?
[05:25] <carwatt> input/output error
[06:15] <aarcane> I heard ubuntu ditched iet for iscsi target mode for 12.04, but I don't remember what the new system is called.  What's the new system called, and/or where is a quick start guide ?
[06:16] <Mischinka> Anyone know where i can get ioncube?
[08:31] <brainysmurf> I want to make a 2,1 xserve an ubuntu box, but I dont' know how curren the information is here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xserve2-1
[10:34] <RoyK> perhaps offtopic, but has anyone seen a mobo being unable to see a pci-ex card when it's in the 16x slot? I know the card works, but maybe the mobo only allows vga cards there?
[11:41] <brainysmurf> Does anybody know anything about mounting an afp server so that I can have www-data write to it? Specifically, I think I need to do something with the acl on the mac side, but I'm not sure what.
[11:44] <RoyK> brainysmurf: didn't you say you had root on this server? if so, why would you use afp?
[11:45] <brainysmurf> Hi RoyK, thanks for helping. I'm actually a bit confused, because my colleague is telling me that afp is a raid.
[11:45] <RoyK> is a what?
[11:45] <brainysmurf> RAID
[11:45] <RoyK> as in redundant array etc?
[11:46] <RoyK> afp is a protocol, not related to how you store data on disks
[11:46] <brainysmurf> right, there is a stack of hd below the xserve and they connect to the mac through afp
[11:46] <RoyK> yes, but the xserve doesn't store data in afp
[11:47] <brainysmurf> It has a hd, but it's not big enough to hold what I need it for
[11:47] <RoyK> it probably uses a raid controller and HFS+
[11:48] <RoyK> AFP is an access protocol, like NFS or CIFS or even NCP
[11:49] <brainysmurf> So xserve sees those hd as hfs just like anything else, but then serves it up as afp.
[11:49] <RoyK> yes
[11:49] <brainysmurf> If that's the case, then why does it show it looks like a network drive on the desktop??
[11:49] <RoyK> and it can probably serve them with CIFS or NFS as well
[11:50] <RoyK> brainysmurf: what desktop?
[11:50] <brainysmurf> the mac desktop, it's not a hd but connected as a network share
[11:50] <RoyK> yes, that's because you use nfs or afs or something across the network to access it
[11:51] <RoyK> but on the drives, there's no such thing as afp
[11:51] <brainysmurf> I think I need to spend some time with this xserve without my colleauge around.
[11:52] <brainysmurf> She's confusing me.
[11:52] <brainysmurf> If I have troot on both, what's best to share files if I need to have www-data write to it. sshfs?
[11:54] <RoyK> nfs
[11:54] <RoyK> sshfs is generally a good idea when all else fail ;)
[11:55] <brainysmurf> RoyK: xie xie (thank you in Chinese)
[11:55] <RoyK> ;)
[12:11] <alex_____> hi can somebody tell me how i can run the asuse35m-1 deluxe with ubuntu server?
[12:12] <RoyK> alex_____: what is that?
[12:12] <alex_____> a mainboard from asus there is the soundchip acl892 on it
[12:12] <alex_____> i want to hear webradio but there comes no sound out of the speakers
[12:13] <alex_____> alsamixer works an show me the soundchip aplay also
[12:37] <samba35> i am facing strange problem ,my internet on my ubuntu dmz server ,today only i am facing this problem how do i diagnose this
[12:37] <samba35> even apt-get update is taking 15-20 mints where it was 3-4 mints usally
[12:43] <samba35> but when  i ping download some software on my gateway it was fast
[15:41] <randomDude> i'm having some issues installing cobbler on ubuntu server 12.04 : http://dpaste.com/750253/
[15:45] <ikonia> looks like the ip command has the wrong syntax
[15:45] <randomDude> ikonia: i am unable to control that, all i did was ask apt-get install cobbler
[15:45] <ikonia> I understand that
[15:46] <randomDude> perhaps it's a bug with the package then
[15:46] <ikonia> possible, or your config (eg: it reads your config and the current setup is incompatible with what it's trying to do )
[15:47] <randomDude> first time i tried to install cobbler on this system
[15:58] <randomDude> ikonia: nothing i do seems to make apt-get install cobbler... and google only returns results that talk about the deb package info, or things like maas not importing isos (not relelvant to me )
[15:59] <ikonia> unpack the deb and see what the setup is trying to do and how it fails against your systems setup
[15:59] <randomDude> not sure how to do that
[16:00] <ikonia> get the debian source package and have look through the setup
[16:00] <ikonia> see if the setup script is either a.) got a bug in b.) got something that conflicts with your system
[16:02] <randomDude> where does dpkg --unpack send its stuff ?
[16:02] <randomDude> it's not in the folder i'm in nor is it in the folder cobbler deb was in
[16:02] <ikonia> I'd just grab the source package
[16:02] <randomDude> can i do that with dpkg?
[16:03] <ikonia> apt-get source
[16:04] <randomDude> i'm not even sure what i'm supposed to be looking at, what files does apt-get use to install stuff in a package?
[16:04] <randomDude> PKG-INFO ?
[16:05] <randomDude> yeah i have no hope of fixing this which should work by now on a LTS release
[16:05] <ikonia> the control file should show the layout (I've not got an debian based system here to go through it)
[16:06] <ikonia> randomDude: it may work fine on an LTS system, it may be something as simple as your machine isn't setup in line with the pre-requisits
[16:06] <randomDude> so i guess i can't use orchestra thus i shouldn't buy a support contract from canonical if this is whats to be expected
[16:06] <randomDude> ikonia: what makes my system a "non lts system" ?
[16:06] <ikonia> randomDude: I didn't say it wasn't an non-lts system
[16:07] <randomDude> oh i thought you did
[16:07] <randomDude> as in implied
[16:07] <ikonia> no, I said your system may not be setup in line with the pre-requisits for cobbler, which is why it's failing
[16:07] <ikonia> eg: it may not be a problem with the package, more a a problem with how your system is setup
[16:07] <ikonia> I don't know without looking
[16:08] <randomDude> i doubt it
[16:08] <ikonia> why do you doubt it ?
[16:08] <randomDude> i'm pretty sure the package is broken
[16:08] <ikonia> !info cobbler
[16:08] <ikonia> randomDude: why are you pretty sure ?
[16:08] <ikonia> what research have you done to make yourself "pretty sure"
[16:08] <randomDude> because my server is standard?
[16:08] <ikonia> randomDude: standard does mean you've configured it to meet the pre-requists
[16:09] <ikonia> hang on, I'll get a 12.04 machine running in a vm and test it
[16:09] <randomDude> why should i have to configure it? thats what i use apt-get
[16:09] <randomDude> apt-get is suppposed to configure this stuff for me
[16:09] <ikonia> randomDude: apt-get is a package installer not a "make my machine a certain setup"
[16:09] <ikonia> randomDude: it will configure cobbler, sure
[16:09] <randomDude> i mean if apt-get can't configure it to the point where it at least isntalls without failing then...
[16:09] <ikonia> then what ?
[16:09] <randomDude> well apparently apt-get can't get it right
[16:10] <ikonia> please stop talking
[16:10] <ikonia> your basing this on nothing
[16:10] <ikonia> the package maybe broken, it may not be
[16:10] <ikonia> but you've done no research and you're just sat there complaining
[16:10] <ikonia> I was going to test it for you now, but I can't be bothered as you've already made your mind up so you can have a moan
[16:10] <ikonia> package is broken, you won't by a support contract, fair enough, move along
[16:10] <randomDude> :)
[16:12] <randomDude> it's actually quite a shame, because cobbler installs fine on the same system when it has ubuntu server 10.10 on it.
[16:12] <ikonia> ok, it's shame, great
[16:13] <randomDude> shouldn't it stand to reason that if it installs fine on the same system with a previous version of ubuntu and cobbler that there's now something wrong with the version of cobbler that ubunut provide for their latest lts server?
[16:13] <ikonia> no
[16:13] <randomDude> oh ok
[16:13] <ikonia> you've made your mind up it's broken, so find a distro that it's not broken in
[22:35] <danchou> I just bought a server and want to set it up first can someone tell me how to create a usb install disk of ubuntu server my server does not have a cd drive. Second it comes already installed with vmware is it better to install ubuntu-server first and then install vmware if i want virtuilization which i believe i do not need now
[22:51] <LordOfTime> danchou:  you can write the image to USB
[22:51] <LordOfTime> !liveusb
[22:52] <Mischinka> how do i clear cache on my server?
[22:53] <danchou> LordOfTime: thanks
[22:53] <LordOfTime> Mischinka:  which cache?
[22:54] <Mischinka> in my server block of nginx i have: location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|swf|xml|txt)$ { expires 14d; }
[23:19] <awutz> can't find the package to install sphinx php client in ubuntu 12.04...
[23:21] <awutz> i used to do: 'yum install sphinx-php' on centos...
[23:38] <awutz> bump
[23:40] <patdk-lap> bump?
[23:40] <patdk-lap> it doesn't exist
[23:40] <patdk-lap> use pear to install it?
[23:44] <awutz> patdk-lap: i'll give that a shot.
[23:46] <rfrittmann> hi all
[23:47] <rfrittmann> I just did the HowToForge Perfect Ubuntu 12.04 server, but have some problems with it, mostly networking and DNS related.
[23:50] <rfrittmann> Some background: the laptop I'm on now is connected to a Linksys WRT54G, then out to an iiNet BOB Lite ADSL/VoIP device to the Internet. IP range from laptop to router is 192.168.2.x, while from router to ADSL is 192.168.1.x
[23:51] <rfrittmann> From the server (static IP 192.168.2.3) I can ping the router (192.168.2.254), but not the other side of it (192.168.1.254) and cannot connect to the Internet. The laptop I'm on now has a DHCP assigned IP from the router, and as you see, it connects fine.
[23:53] <rfrittmann> I have pointed the default gateway on the server to the router (192.168.2.254) and the router's own default gateway is the BOB Lite (192.168.1.1), and this works fine for my laptop, but not for the server.
[23:54] <rfrittmann> Any ideas why this might be?
