[00:14] how do I set up BIND to play nice with a Windows DNS server? [00:15] jeeves_moss: you can run BIND as a Windows DNS server? [00:16] (not sure what exactly your problem is) [00:16] JanC, no, I need it to be a secondary. I can't find the technet howto page [00:17] it's been a very long time since I configured a Windows DNS server, but IIRC I just wrote a BIND configuration file and used that with the Windows DNS server [00:17] JanC, ok, thanks. I'm going to keep looking [00:18] the BIND config file worked fine with the Windows DNS server [00:18] but using the Windows GUI would break that config file [00:18] JanC, that's about par for Windows [00:19] so I had to avoid using the Windows GUI and maintain it as a text config file ☺ [00:19] that was almost 10 years ago though [00:23] ssh === Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-afk === cpg is now known as cpg|away === cpg|away is now known as cpg [02:48] Just want to make sure I get this right; where should I untar an ethernet adapter driver?

I think I installed everything correctly via intel's instructions, but I don't see the interface listed [03:36] * lvmer feels invisible [03:42] lvmer, why did you attempt to install the driver manually? [03:42] I am running 12.04 lts, I have postfix and dovecot installed and using my mail server successfully. I have multiple domains and would like to have a web interface to create/edit email accounts. Any suggestions? [03:44] because that's what intel said [03:44] how do you do it automatically [03:44] I haven't changed any settings so I have no problem removing it and redoing it automatically, lmk how [03:51] well after I run $ sudo modprobe e1000e I can not seem to find a valid interface for the following command: $ sudo ifconfig eth0 up [03:52] lvmer, who said it was called eth0? [03:52] use dmesg [03:52] can not seem to find a valid interface [03:53] heh? [03:54] under modules I see it87, which im betting it is, but I can't seem to initialize it [03:54] your betting your it87 tempature sensor is your gigabit network card? [03:56] can you help me find the device name? [03:57] I could not find it with dmesg [04:02] I'm having trouble figuring out one of my network interfaces. Does anyone have any ideas? [04:12] in case anyone else has this problem, the appropriate command is: lshw -C network [04:14] well dmesg shows the output of stuff you load, like the network module, and hardware detected === smw_ is now known as smw === ENOSLEEP is now known as greppy [06:49] Hey, I have a question about apache and port 80 on my linux system.

Now, I can't access through port 501234 from inside the server (where I can 80), and I can't access 80 from the outside (where I can 50123) === RoyK^ is now known as RoyK [08:21] New bug: #1094830 in openvswitch (main) "brcompat failed to be loaded" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1094830 === cpg is now known as cpg|away === Guest56368 is now known as mattronix [10:35] Hi [10:52] Hello [10:53] I would like to install a ubuntu server on a virtual machine with a mac pro hardware. When i install it, i have the message please use a kernel appropriate for you CPU [10:53] But after a lot of version I don't know what is the good version [10:54] grab: what virtulization software? [10:54] Virtual box [10:55] and my cpu is a like i686 [10:56] have tried different CPU options with virtualbox (can't remember exactly) [10:56] you* [10:57] I'm sure I must install a 64 bits version. [10:57] I have a quadcore intel [10:58] the standard 64-bit version should work with Virtualbox [11:00] what type of mac do you have? [11:00] all of the newer macs are 64 and 32 bit cpu's [11:01] Hi folks, any idea if ESXi (with vCenter) can somehow pass cloud-init data to instances? o/ @ smoser [11:01] grab: I have a few linux vms in virtualbox on my macs [11:01] mattronix: all intel macs are 64bit [11:01] what version of the ISO of linux are you using grab [11:02] yep [11:02] thats true all of the intel macs are 64 bit and can run any 32 bit software [11:02] I was installed the 32bits and 64bits version but i have the same message [11:02] grab: have you disabled PAE and trying to boot a 32bit linux? that would trigger that error [11:02] grab: what mac model? [11:02] mac pro [11:02] quad core [11:02] Xeon? [11:03] what is the template for the VM? [11:03] ubuntu [11:03] hum good question, i'm seeing [11:03] i have found some wired things with that sometimes [11:03] yes xeon [11:03] Xeon so its a mac pro? [11:03] mattronix, I'm using virtual box [11:04] mattronix yes it's a mac pro [11:04] I know :) i mean when you create a VM you have options for ram hdd and template of the os [11:04] you can choose for example windows xp 64bit [11:04] and say ubuntu 64 bit [11:04] is all of the vm's settings correct [11:04] RoyK, what's ESCxi it's on Virtual box ? [11:04] no [11:04] grab: really, I have three mac's and it works on my installs [11:04] Vmware [11:05] grab: that's with virtualbox [11:05] yep i use mac too it works fine [11:06] i can look by team viewer if you want [11:07] Ok thank guy, the problem is the template from virtualbox, i was choose the wrong template [11:07] but its up to you [11:07] thought so :) [11:08] Do you know if it's possible to emulate failover with 2 servers on virtual machine on a same machine ? [11:08] i have found these kind of errors occur when you choose the wrong template i do not know the exact technical reason behind it but i guess its hardware emulation [11:08] yeah you can do anything with a vm that you can do a physical machine [11:09] yep you can create virtual network [11:09] and a virtual network card on each of the hosts and join it to the same virtual network [11:09] so is the ubuntu install working? [11:10] I can't shut down my server, when I enter "sudo shutdown -P now", all services end and the HDD stops, but the Power isn't switched off. [11:10] acpi? [11:10] Yes, status is OK. [11:10] what is the -p option? [11:11] try sudo halt [11:11] "sudo halt" [11:11] i use that and it works for me :) [11:11] OK, I will try that, wait a moment. (Currently over SSH to the server connected) [11:11] "halt" will only take down the OS, use "poweroff" to poweroff [11:12] ok then type sudo poweroff [11:12] using that over ssh, makes it rather hard to get contact with the server again... [11:12] should have the exact same result [11:12] it will do a complete powerdown [11:12] yep [11:12] The same result. No power off. [11:12] OK, I will try poweroff [11:12] what is on your console screen? [11:12] yep [11:12] i have not seen the option you use before [11:13] "halt" won't poweroff anymore - they changed that somewhere between 10.04 and 12.04 [11:13] o i see [11:13] i still use 10.04.4 LTS [11:13] I thought "halt" still worked there [11:14] it does :) [11:14] ah [11:14] i have not seen the you must use power off option so i guess they changed it [11:15] let me know if poweroff works for you [11:15] poweroff doesn't works, too. [11:15] ok [11:15] do you have a monitor connected to your server [11:15] but ACPI is on OK, so what's the problem? [11:16] Yes , I have a monitor. It shows at the end System halted [11:16] try it from the server console (with keyboard and mouse + monitor attached to your server) and see what you get [11:16] NikP: with poweroff? [11:16] o ok [11:16] RoyK: With all. [11:16] and you can you still ssh into it [11:16] No, I must reboot it. [11:17] hrrm [11:17] reverse your ACPI setting [11:17] and try again [11:17] OK, I will try that. [11:17] i have found for me that is the main reason this happens [11:18] how old is the hardware [11:20] Oh, not very old, ca. 2006, but I'vbe tried for this problem two power supplies, but it does'nt works. I have a PC with Mint 14, there all commands work. [11:21] herm i have found the same with the fitpc that with freebsd i have this problem [11:21] and with debien on the same machine it works fine [11:22] maybe there is an option in ubuntu that it keeps the hardware online [11:22] On the server I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. [11:23] herm maybe it is an option in 12.04 let me look it up [11:24] do you get system is ready to halt? [11:24] Yes [11:25] Question : Do you download automatically your update for your system ? [11:26] grab: I use unattended-upgrades package [11:26] 12.04 is still unstable if i am honest [11:27] i think personally that is safer to stay on 10.04 === Err404NotFound is now known as Error404NotFound [11:28] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/880240 [11:28] Launchpad bug 880240 in upstart "system doesn't turn off if "sudo halt" is given" [Medium,Won't fix] [11:28] SNAP XD [11:30] looks like we both got the same ending [11:30] bug 880240 [11:30] Launchpad bug 880240 in upstart "system doesn't turn off if "sudo halt" is given" [Medium,Won't fix] https://launchpad.net/bugs/880240 [11:31] whats the best command to halt an ubuntu server?

[12:38] what hypervisor? [12:39] VirtualBox [12:40] I want to create a virtual network equipement to connect by ssh my other machine [12:42] you can use virtualbox's port forwarding [12:43] or you can use bridge networking [12:43] the latter is probably the easiest [12:45] RoyK it's a connexion by point ? [12:45] actually im using the NAT, but i have the host ip address [12:45] just use bridge [12:46] that way you can setup an address "beside" the host, on the same network [12:47] ok it's true thank === Err404NotFound is now known as Error404NotFound [13:00] : Im trying to pick a rack server from dell…R320, R420 or so..but I don't know if I can use software raid on the embedded SATA controller they have? [13:01] heh? [13:01] isn't that the whole definition of *software raid*? [13:02] patdk-lap: probably..just wanna make sure :) [13:02] patdk-lap: I'd recommend hardware raid if possible [13:02] do you know if their S110 can be used with ubuntu? [13:02] raid controller* [13:03] oh, a *fakeraid* controller [13:03] that is not a raid card [13:05] the problem is that only the top server models have real controllers [13:07] not really, the problem is, dells website option selections [13:07] think their call service works today? [13:07] ;-) [13:08] bought a T420 recently, you can get rack kit for it [13:08] vezq, that is called a r420 :) [13:09] I can't find any info about the s110 [13:09] patdk-lap: you think I can get a R320 with a H310 raid? [13:09] likely it will work fine [13:09] but I wouldn't want to use it's *raid* support, but I would use md instead [13:11] I think i need to call them. When I google I found this: http://www.server-warehouse.co.za/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1381&zenid=iatr515cp98imvl5vfa4mj3pf7 a r320 with a h310 controller [13:11] the h310 controller works with ubuntu 12.04LTS? [13:12] bjensen, sure, it gives me that option directly on their order system [13:12] what!? [13:12] though, h710 is going be much faster [13:12] jep, h710 recommended [13:13] Its going to be running a Ruby OnRails Web app [13:13] it gives me the option of, s110, h310, h710 [13:13] won't need that much io [13:13] bjensen, it isn't about io [13:13] io depends on the disks you use [13:14] the raid card you use helps decrease latency [13:14] Ohhh I see now. its their ordering system hat is weird [13:15] bah i gtg. thanks for the help === ibiris|afk is now known as ibiris === megharsh is now known as superbot === ibiris is now known as ibiris|afk [17:06] New bug: #1094921 in keystone (main) "keystone postinst fails with KeyError: " [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1094921 [17:51] i upgraded 10.04 to 12.04. after the upgrade, i noticed 2 weird things which may even be related. 1. even though i uninstalled all kernel images apart from the newest one, grub-update puts all my old kernels into the os_prober section of grub.cfg. 2. when i run update-grub, it complains: "error: found two disks with the index 1 for RAID md2. error: superfluous RAID member (2 found)" BTW, md2 is where i store data, not the OS. /proc/mdstat [18:01] * RoyK thinks ubuntu, even LTS versions, are getting less stable [18:01] I've seen similar issues, disposable [19:41] New bug: #1094944 in squid3 (main) "squid3 remove doesn't delete logrotate conf file" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1094944 === cpg|away is now known as cpg === cwillu_ is now known as cwillu === cpg is now known as cpg|away [23:16] q/win 11
