[00:56] <harushimo> when your setting up ubuntu server, is it better to partition it like the desktop version
[00:56] <harushimo> where you have a boot, swap, root, and a home directory?
[01:05] <pokeswap> i need to run shell comands on the gnome, but it is not on the sidebar. how do i launch gnome?
[02:05] <harushimo> I have maas finally working on ubuntu-server 32 bit
[02:05] <harushimo> thank you everyone
[02:14] <SpinningWheels> I was setting up a couple vm's and noticed "The following packages have been kept back: linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server" so, i apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server. say yes to dependencies and walk away. a day later i boot up the vm and neither can resolve hostnames anymore and the "kept back" packages are still the same.
[02:14] <SpinningWheels> i can delete these vm's and start over, no big deal, but im curious what went wrong.
[02:20] <patdk-lap> what idd you do, that gave you that message?
[02:21] <SpinningWheels> im assuming uncommenting repositories in /apt/sources.list. every time i would apt-get upgrade/update it woud say that afterwards. i got the uncomment additional repositories advice from someone who probably knows less about linux than i do.
[02:21] <SpinningWheels> or /etc/apt/sources.list rather
[02:21] <patdk-lap> hmm, failure to read the apt-get manual?
[02:21] <patdk-lap> upgrade doesn't upgrade everything, as you found out
[02:22] <SpinningWheels> ic
[02:22] <patdk-lap> it doesn't bring in new things
[02:22] <patdk-lap> those are new, therefor it didn't upgrade them
[02:22] <patdk-lap> try using dist-upgrade
[02:22] <SpinningWheels> i was just about to ask that
[02:34] <SpinningWheels> ok, thats finished and rebooted. i still seem to have no dns lookup from the vm
[07:34] <Syria> Hello, Please tell me how do I configure the virtual machine on my ubuntu server 10.04 to start automatically on system startup?
[07:56] <Syria> Hello, Please tell me how do I configure the virtual machine on my ubuntu server 10.04 to start automatically on system startup?
[08:07] <andol> Syria: That really depends on what virtulization setup you are using etc. If you use libvirt/kvm, which I guess can be considered the Ubuntu default, you might want to use virsh autostart
[08:20] <Syria> andol:  /usr/bin/VBoxManage startvm "machine name" --type headless / this is how i start the machine.
[08:21] <Syria> andol:  I have to use Virsh autostart for this?
[08:24] <RoyK> Syria: why don't you just use kvm?
[08:24] <Syria> RoyK: Because i don't know what KVM is.. :( can it be installed on my ubuntu server 10.04 LTS?
[08:25] <RoyK> apt-get install kvm virt-manager
[08:25] <RoyK> then just run virt-manager
[08:29] <Syria> RoyK:  Thank you, I will do this.
[09:05] <Syria> RoyK:  Could you please help me with the virt-manager ?
[09:05] <RoyK> !ask
[09:06] <Syria> RoyK: U have installed it, But i don't even know how start the wizard.. I have two virtual machines that i want them to start automatically on system startup
[09:06] <RoyK> Syria: start virt-manager
[09:07] <Syria> RoyK: start: Unknown job: virt-manager
[09:07] <RoyK> Syria: also, virtualbox VMs won't show up there automatically, you'll need to migrate them to kvm
[09:07] <RoyK> just type "virt-manager" in the console
[09:08] <Syria> RoyK: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1020975/
[09:09] <Syria> RoyK: Also how can I migrate the machines from virtual box to kvm please..
[09:10] <RoyK> Syria: http://bit.ly/LpO01C
[09:10] <RoyK> Syria: gtk.GtkWarning: could not open display
[09:10] <RoyK> meaning you need to use X11 forwarding
[09:13] <Syria> RoyK: Thank you, I will work on the migration now then on the X11 forwarding
[09:13] <RoyK> ssh -y somehost will turn that on
[09:14] <RoyK> if you're using a windows client, turn it on in putty and install xming
[11:47] <meditator> hello... is it possible to run vmware player on ubuntu server ?  What I want to do is to install install vmplayer and run the vmplayer to show a XP machine .. is it possible to do that? help greatly appreciated.
[11:48] <RoyK> meditator: I don't see why that should be a problem
[11:48] <RoyK> meditator: also, kvm may be usable to run the vm too
[11:49] <meditator> thanks RoyK, sorry for my ignorance.. what is kvm ?
[11:49] <RoyK> !kvm
[11:49] <meditator> thanks
[12:27] <MatBoy> mhh this sucks... there are differences between partitions made on sda and sdb when setting teh same size
[12:45]  * cwillu_at_work suggests that you didn't do what you think you did
[13:01] <qman__> it's possible but only if you have different hardware or messed up geometry
[13:01] <qman__> if they're the same disks with correct geometry, they have the same exact block layout and can be set up identically
[13:31] <mr-rich> Unless you have bad sectors on one/both
[13:52] <MatBoy> qman__: yap... two different disks... but it always worked
[13:55] <MatBoy> since when can 12.04 not install grub on sdb in a raid1 MD set ?
[15:10] <heller_barde> hi guys :)
[15:15] <heller_barde> I have problems getting ufw to run on a ubuntu 10.04 LTS in a OpenVZ Virtual Environment. Is this the right place to come or should I rather ask in #openvz?
[15:16] <Bilge> How can I tell what the source for a package is?
[15:16] <Bilge> I want to know if it came from Ubuntu or a PPA
[15:23] <jdstrand> heller_barde: the kernel may not support everything ufw needs. Use /usr/share/ufw/check-requirements
[15:25] <heller_barde> jdstrand: oh i see. any suggestions for a firewall solution then?
[15:26] <heller_barde> jdstrand: i already tried shorewall to no luck
[15:32] <qman__> iptables
[15:33] <qman__> unless your needs are particularly complex, a 10-20 line iptables script should do it
[15:36] <heller_barde> qman__: oh i see :)
[15:36] <heller_barde> qman__: thanks
[15:38] <JanC> ufw & shorewall use iptables, so I'm not sure what that would solve...
[15:39] <jdstrand> surely the kernel supports some netfilter
[15:39] <jdstrand> so he would have to just avoid the bits that his kernel doesn't support
[15:39]  * jdstrand wanders off
[15:40] <qman__> yeah, if it doesn't have netfilter he can't firewall it
[15:40] <qman__> iptables is getting down to barebones
[15:40] <JanC> what kernel? (inside an openvz container)
[15:41] <JanC> most likely heller_barde doesn't have the rights to change the firewall from inside the openvz container
[15:42] <heller_barde> JanC: probably
[15:47] <heller_barde> yay, with iptables it worked well :D
[15:47] <JanC> interesting
[15:48] <heller_barde> withsome help from this: http://www.mista.nu/iptables/
[15:48] <JanC> might be useful to see what ufw uses that isn't supported then
[15:50] <JanC> because what ufw does is create a bunch of netfilter rules based on its configuration, and use iptables to apply them
[15:56] <heller_barde> JanC: I don't know exactly how to figure that out...
[16:58] <Bilge> How can I tell where a package came from?
[16:58] <Bilge> I want to know if it came from Ubuntu or a PPA
[17:49] <JanC> Bilge: in the GUI, commandline, …?
[17:51] <tibrox> I've setup http(80) to port forward to my server behind my router.  I can access the server from the WAN and LAN ip but not via my phone.  What could I be missing?
[17:52] <JanC> how is your phone connected to the internet?
[17:53] <JanC> Bilge: if you don't mind using the commandline, try: apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME
[17:58] <tibrox> JanC, via data bundle
[18:08] <Bilge> #ubuntu-server
[18:08] <Bilge> >don't mind using the commandline
[18:08] <Bilge> What?
[18:09] <Bilge> Also, thanks

[23:40] <kalkin-> hi
[23:40] <kalkin-> i'm trying to setup dnsmask as local cache
[23:40] <kalkin-> i have some own dns in /etc/hosts
[23:40] <kalkin-> i can resolv them from the machine where dnsmasq is running
[23:41] <kalkin-> i can resolve anything else from the machine where dnsmasq is running
[23:42] <kalkin-> on my other machine i can resolve only resolve my own dns (like foo.bar) which are written in the /etc/hosts on the maching running dnsmasq
[23:42] <kalkin-> but local caching doesn't work
[23:42] <kalkin-> k i think it sounds to complicated
[23:42] <kalkin-> i have a mchine dns.local which is running dnsmask
[23:43] <kalkin-> it has some entries like foo.local and bar.local in /etc/hosts
[23:43] <kalkin-> in /etc/resolv.conf are two nameservers 127.0.0.1 and another one
[23:43] <kalkin-> /etc/resolv.conf is not a symlink anymore, it's a normal file
[23:43] <kalkin-> on my dns.local machine i can resolve anything
[23:43] <kalkin-> it works fine
[23:44] <kalkin-> but on my other machine (foo.local) i only can resolve the stuff which i entered on the dns machine in /etc/hosts
[23:44] <kalkin-> i can't resolve google or anything else
[23:44] <kalkin-> why?
[23:51] <kalkin-> anyone any idea why it doesn't work?
