[00:21] <rfrittmann> To complete the steps of the HowToForge Perfect Ubuntu 12.04 Server installation, I installed a second NIC in the server, static IP 192.168.1.3 and connected it striaght to the iiNet BOB. I'd prefer to have it inside the 192.168.2.x network though.
[04:16] <denaf> why there's no mention of "label" in man interfaces?
[04:20] <jmarsden> denaf: Because it is a parameter to the ip command, not part of the syntax of the /etc/network/interfaces file , I suppose
[04:28] <denaf> ive been wondering why having interface label or alias in the interfaces file causes the "waiting for network configuration" issue when booting up
[05:55] <jsmin12e> Hello
[06:33] <koolhead17> jamespage, around?
[07:49] <iggi> I'm having some trouble with a fresh 12.04 install. The system installed just fine, but when boot I get a blank screen after the grub menu and I can't get a text console form ctrl+alt+f1 or f2
[07:50] <iggi> the system respond to num lock changes and ctrl+alt+del reboots, so it doesn't appear to be completely locked up
[07:54] <iggi> recovery mode seems to work but then dies immediately due to a degraded array I guess
[07:58] <iggi> yep, recovery mode worked once I overrode the boot degraded.
[07:58] <Mischinka> whats the default permissions for files in: /var/www/website.com/
[07:58] <Mischinka> ?
[10:59] <Technetium> can anyone help with a kernel performance question?
[11:39] <RoyK> !ask, Technetium
[11:39] <RoyK> !ask
[11:40] <RoyK> Mischinka: owned by the user that created the dir, perhaps root, and with masks according to your current umask, normally 022, so 755, just ls -ld /path/to/dir to view them
[11:58] <Bilge> So I upgraded to 12 LTS
[11:58] <Bilge> And now I can't run any ELF binaries
[11:58] <Bilge> Bash claims the file doesn't even exist
[11:59] <Bilge> They're 32-bit running on a 64-bit system if that makes any difference whatsoever but they all worked fine before
[12:00] <Technetium> I set up 4 virtual servers, 2 x12.04 and 2x10.10 - one of each has the default server/generic kernel while the other has the virtualisation optimised kernel. I wrote a bash script loops 5 million times and calculates a square root on each iteration.
[12:01] <Technetium> Problem is that the 10.10 kernel servers (both virtual & server) running version 2.6.35-2 complete the loops in half the time it takes the 12.04 servers - 4 hours compared to 8!. Any thoughts on why?
[13:17] <brainysmurf> anbody have efi working for 12 lts on an xserve?
[13:20] <brainysmurf> Something about needing grub?
[14:17] <RoyK> Bilge: 32bit libs installed?
[14:18] <RoyK> brainysmurf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xserve2-1 ?
[14:42] <Bilge> RoyK: that was the problem, yes
[14:42] <Bilge> Somehow ia32 libs had become uninstalled during the upgrade process
[14:43] <Bilge> No idea what Xserve 2 is or what that has to do with anything
[14:45] <RoyK> Bilge: brainysmurf asked about installing ubuntu on an xserve, therefore the prefix with his nick ;)
[14:47] <Bilge> Oh shit it's like you're multitasking
[14:47] <RoyK> :)
[15:10] <brainysmurf> Thanks RoyK but that url seems out of date.
[15:12] <RoyK> brainysmurf: have you tried installing yet?
[15:43] <tash> My resolv.conf file keeps getting wiped out. I've never had this happen before, prior to Ubuntu Server 12.04
[15:43] <tash> anyone know why?
[15:46] <jdrab> tash: did you manualy edit your resolv.conf?
[15:47] <tash> yes
[15:47] <tash> when I reboot, it gets wiped clean
[15:47] <tash> is there a package, possibly, that does some cleaning during boot?
[15:47] <tash> I see dns-clean in init.d, but have no clue what that is
[15:48] <tash> probably the resolvconf package
[15:48] <tash> idk
[15:48] <jdrab> tash: is your resolv.conf empty or not? there are at least two lines with comments
[15:49] <tash> when I reboot it is empty, if I add nameserver <blah> to it, it works, til I reboot
[15:50] <tash> am going to add dns-nameservers <blah> to the interfaces file and test
[15:52] <jdrab> tash: i think you don't need to reboot to test it. just restart your network
[15:53] <tash> that worked
[18:01] <blendedbychris> sounds like one is a forward increment and one is reverse
[18:01] <blendedbychris> is a reverse incremental backup less prone to corruption?
[18:03] <RoyK> a *reverse* incremental backup? wtf is that?
[18:04] <blendedbychris> RoyK: instead of starting with a full backup and adding incrementals… it takes a full backup and subtracts incrementals
[18:04] <blendedbychris> so your restore process is backward
[18:05] <blendedbychris> http://james.lab6.com/2008/07/09/rdiff-backup-and-duplicity/
[18:05] <blendedbychris> that's what i was reading
[20:38] <blendedbychris> how do i flush dns cache?
[20:39] <blendedbychris> ah nm doesn't look like ubuntu caches dns
[20:40] <blendedbychris> can i prevent iftop from resolving names via rdns?
[20:40] <guntbert> blendedbychris: try iftop -n
[20:41] <blendedbychris> got it… thanks!
[22:56] <losplaya> hello
[22:56] <LordOfTime> hi
[22:57] <losplaya> how you doing lord just wondering if you can advice how to make my phpbb install visible online
[22:57] <LordOfTime> losplaya:  probably can, depends on what's wrong with the system
[22:58] <LordOfTime> first question: are you on a residential network or corporate network behind a firewall or router?
[22:58] <LordOfTime> secondly: how did you install phpBB?  from the package in the repos, or from the .tar.gz that you download from their site
[22:58] <losplaya> ok so far every thing seem fine i have disabled the fire wall i thinkg its to do with apache as i can see the apache default page
[22:59] <losplaya> i got it from repos
[22:59] <LordOfTime> ahh
[22:59] <LordOfTime> that's problem 1 (no offense)
[22:59] <LordOfTime> !info phpbb precise
[22:59] <LordOfTime> what's its name in the repos nowadays...
[22:59] <losplaya> no worries im new to this
[22:59] <LordOfTime> actually i wonder if it was removed from the repos :PO
[22:59] <losplaya> i can view it on my local network
[22:59] <LordOfTime> losplaya:  local network != internet
[22:59] <LordOfTime> ;P
[22:59] <LordOfTime> you didnt answer my first question either
[23:00] <losplaya> home network
[23:00] <LordOfTime> ah.  behind a router right?
[23:00] <losplaya> yeah
[23:00] <LordOfTime> did you forward the ports on the router correctly?:
[23:00] <LordOfTime> so that port 80 forwards to the system running phpbb
[23:00] <losplaya> yep got port 80 forwarded to my server
[23:02] <LordOfTime> hmm
[23:02] <LordOfTime> i'm not used to apache, but i dont trust repository versions of phpBB
[23:02] <LordOfTime> they're at least a year behind upstream
[23:02] <LordOfTime> i'd recommend just using whatever the default directories are for apache, and plop phpBB in there from the download on the phpBB site
[23:03] <losplaya> i will give that a go
[23:04] <losplaya> thank you for the advice lord feel like im praying when i talk to you
[23:05] <LordOfTime> heh
[23:05] <LordOfTime> tbh, the nick 'TimeLord' is taken xD
[23:05] <losplaya> lol
[23:07] <losplaya> first time i have used irc dont know why it has taken me so long
[23:07] <LordOfTime> heh
[23:07] <LordOfTime> tbh, i dont use Apache, i use nginx, but considering i'm also one of their bug responders (for nginx), i kind of have bias for using nginx xD
[23:08] <brainysmurf> LordOfTime nginx rocks
[23:08] <LordOfTime> brainysmurf:  i know right? :P
[23:08] <LordOfTime> i use it almost exclusively
[23:08] <LordOfTime> i'm also jumping on the CVE bugs that've been in Oneiric and prior
[23:09] <LordOfTime> (they're already fixed in Precise)
[23:09] <brainysmurf> sweet
[23:09] <losplaya> i have lot learn
[23:09] <brainysmurf> I am trying turn two xserves into ubuntu boxes; I found this: http://bit.ly/4I11zK Do I need to do anything for Precise?
[23:10] <LordOfTime> !efi
[23:10] <LordOfTime> really?
[23:10] <LordOfTime> REALLY?
[23:10] <LordOfTime> ubottu doesnt have anything on it?
[23:10]  * LordOfTime glares at ubottu
[23:11] <brainysmurf> lol
[23:11] <LordOfTime> i think this'll help, not sure though
[23:11] <LordOfTime> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting
[23:12] <LordOfTime> most of my systems that're servers are converted desktops
[23:12] <LordOfTime> that sit in an airconditioned room 24/7/365
[23:13] <losplaya> you be surprised what peeps use for servers
[23:13] <LordOfTime> this laptop here could technically be a server
[23:13] <LordOfTime> its runnign a GUI, but its got some server packages on it
[23:13] <LordOfTime> (nginx, php, mysql, for starters)
[23:14] <brainysmurf> Yeah these two live in air-conditioned rooms
[23:15] <brainysmurf> Okay it says to use the alternate mac iso. Thanks What did you google to find that?
[23:15] <LordOfTime> ubuntu server efi
[23:15] <LordOfTime> :P
[23:16] <LordOfTime> but note i dont know \if that's recent
