[00:14] <jeeves_moss> how do I set up BIND to play nice with a Windows DNS server?
[00:15] <JanC> jeeves_moss: you can run BIND as a Windows DNS server?
[00:16] <JanC> (not sure what exactly your problem is)
[00:16] <jeeves_moss> JanC, no, I need it to be a secondary.  I can't find the technet howto page
[00:17] <JanC> 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] <jeeves_moss> JanC, ok, thanks.  I'm going to keep looking
[00:18] <JanC> the BIND config file worked fine with the Windows DNS server
[00:18] <JanC> but using the Windows GUI would break that config file
[00:18] <jeeves_moss> JanC, that's about par for Windows
[00:19] <JanC> so I had to avoid using the Windows GUI and maintain it as a text config file  ☺
[00:19] <JanC> that was almost 10 years ago though

[02:48] <lvmer> Just want to make sure I get this right; where should I untar an ethernet adapter driver?
[02:49] <lvmer> is it:  /lib/modules/3.5.0-21-generic/kernel/drives/net/e1000e  ?
[03:30] <kenetik> Anyone on? Need some help
[03:31] <patdk-lap> !ask
[03:35] <lvmer> I'm having trouble setting up a pci gbe adapter. 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] <patdk-lap> lvmer, why did you attempt to install the driver manually?
[03:42] <kenetik> 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] <lvmer> because that's what intel said
[03:44] <lvmer> how do you do it automatically
[03:44] <lvmer> I haven't changed any settings so I have no problem removing it and redoing it automatically, lmk how
[03:51] <lvmer> 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] <patdk-lap> lvmer, who said it was called eth0?
[03:52] <patdk-lap> use dmesg
[03:52] <lvmer>  can not seem to find a valid interface
[03:53] <patdk-lap> heh?
[03:54] <lvmer> under modules I see it87, which im betting it is, but I can't seem to initialize it
[03:54] <patdk-lap> your betting your it87 tempature sensor is your gigabit network card?
[03:56] <lvmer> can you help me find the device name?
[03:57] <lvmer> I could not find it with dmesg
[04:02] <lvmer> I'm having trouble figuring out one of my network interfaces. Does anyone have any ideas?
[04:12] <lvmer> in case anyone else has this problem, the appropriate command is: lshw -C network
[04:14] <patdk-lap> well dmesg shows the output of stuff you load, like the network module, and hardware detected
[06:49] <graphmastur> Hey, I have a question about apache and port 80 on my linux system. When running from port 80, I can't access apache from outside the server. When running on port 50123 for example, I can. So I set up a port forward from 50123 to 80. 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)

[10:52] <grab> Hello
[10:53] <grab> 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] <grab> But after a lot of version I don't know what is the good version
[10:54] <vezq> grab: what virtulization software?
[10:54] <grab> Virtual box
[10:55] <grab> and my  cpu is a like i686
[10:56] <vezq> have tried different CPU options with virtualbox (can't remember exactly)
[10:56] <vezq> you*
[10:57] <grab> I'm sure I must install a 64 bits version.
[10:57] <grab> I have a quadcore intel
[10:58] <vezq> the standard 64-bit version should work with Virtualbox
[11:00] <mattronix> what type of mac  do you have?
[11:00] <mattronix> all of the newer macs are 64 and 32 bit cpu's
[11:01] <kim0> Hi folks, any idea if ESXi (with vCenter) can somehow pass cloud-init data to instances? o/ @ smoser
[11:01] <RoyK> grab: I have a few linux vms in virtualbox on my macs
[11:01] <RoyK> mattronix: all intel macs are 64bit
[11:01] <mattronix> what version of the ISO of linux are you using grab
[11:02] <mattronix> yep
[11:02] <mattronix> thats true all of the intel macs are 64 bit and can run any 32 bit software
[11:02] <grab> I was installed the 32bits and 64bits version but i have the same message
[11:02] <RoyK> grab: have you disabled PAE and trying to boot a 32bit linux? that would trigger that error
[11:02] <RoyK> grab: what mac model?
[11:02] <grab> mac pro
[11:02] <grab> quad core
[11:02] <RoyK> Xeon?
[11:03] <mattronix> what is the template for the VM?
[11:03] <mattronix> ubuntu
[11:03] <grab> hum good question, i'm seeing
[11:03] <mattronix> i have found some wired things with that  sometimes
[11:03] <grab> yes xeon
[11:03] <mattronix> Xeon so its a mac pro?
[11:03] <grab> mattronix, I'm using virtual box
[11:04] <grab> mattronix yes it's a mac pro
[11:04] <mattronix> I know :) i mean when you create a VM you have options for ram hdd and template of the os
[11:04] <mattronix> you can choose for example windows xp 64bit
[11:04] <mattronix> and say ubuntu 64 bit
[11:04] <mattronix> is all of the vm's settings correct
[11:04] <grab> RoyK, what's ESCxi it's on Virtual box ?
[11:04] <mattronix> no
[11:04] <RoyK> grab: really, I have three mac's and it works on my installs
[11:04] <mattronix> Vmware
[11:05] <RoyK> grab: that's with virtualbox
[11:05] <mattronix> yep i use mac too it works fine
[11:06] <mattronix> i can look by team viewer if you want
[11:07] <grab> Ok thank guy, the problem is the template from virtualbox, i was choose the wrong template
[11:07] <mattronix> but its up to you
[11:07] <mattronix> thought so :)
[11:08] <grab> Do you know if it's possible to emulate failover with 2  servers on virtual machine on a same machine ?
[11:08] <mattronix> 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] <mattronix> yeah you can do anything with a vm that you can do a physical machine
[11:09] <mattronix> yep you can create virtual network
[11:09] <mattronix> and a virtual network card on each of the hosts and join it to the same virtual network
[11:09] <mattronix> so is the ubuntu install working?
[11:10] <NikP> 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] <mattronix> acpi?
[11:10] <NikP> Yes, status is OK.
[11:10] <mattronix> what is the -p option?
[11:11] <mattronix> try sudo halt
[11:11] <mattronix> "sudo halt"
[11:11] <mattronix> i use that and it works for me :)
[11:11] <NikP> OK, I will try that, wait a moment. (Currently over SSH to the server connected)
[11:11] <RoyK> "halt" will only take down the OS, use "poweroff" to poweroff
[11:12] <mattronix> ok then type sudo poweroff
[11:12] <RoyK> using that over ssh, makes it rather hard to get contact with the server again...
[11:12] <mattronix> should have the exact same result
[11:12] <mattronix> it will do a complete powerdown
[11:12] <mattronix> yep
[11:12] <NikP> The same result. No power off.
[11:12] <NikP> OK, I will try poweroff
[11:12] <mattronix> what is on your console screen?
[11:12] <mattronix> yep
[11:12] <mattronix> i have not seen the option you use before
[11:13] <RoyK> "halt" won't poweroff anymore - they changed that somewhere between 10.04 and 12.04
[11:13] <mattronix> o i see
[11:13] <mattronix> i still use 10.04.4   LTS
[11:13] <RoyK> I thought "halt" still worked there
[11:14] <mattronix> it does :)
[11:14] <RoyK> ah
[11:14] <mattronix> i have not seen the you must use power off option so i guess they changed it
[11:15] <mattronix> let me know if poweroff works for you
[11:15] <NikP> poweroff doesn't works, too.
[11:15] <mattronix> ok
[11:15] <mattronix> do you have a monitor connected to your server
[11:15] <NikP> but ACPI is on OK, so what's the problem?
[11:16] <NikP> Yes , I have a monitor. It shows at the end System halted
[11:16] <mattronix> try it from the server console (with keyboard and mouse + monitor attached to your server) and see what you get
[11:16] <RoyK> NikP: with poweroff?
[11:16] <mattronix> o ok
[11:16] <NikP> RoyK: With all.
[11:16] <mattronix> and you can you still ssh into it
[11:16] <NikP> No, I must reboot it.
[11:17] <mattronix> hrrm
[11:17] <mattronix> reverse your ACPI setting
[11:17] <mattronix> and try again
[11:17] <NikP> OK, I will try that.
[11:17] <mattronix> i have found for me that is the main reason this happens
[11:18] <mattronix> how old is the hardware
[11:20] <NikP> 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] <mattronix> herm i have found the same with the fitpc that with freebsd  i have this problem
[11:21] <mattronix> and with debien on the same machine it works fine
[11:22] <mattronix> maybe there is an option in ubuntu that it keeps the hardware online
[11:22] <NikP> On the server I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
[11:23] <mattronix> herm maybe it is an option in 12.04 let me look it up
[11:24] <mattronix> do you get system is ready to halt?
[11:24] <NikP> Yes
[11:25] <grab> Question : Do you download automatically your update for  your  system ?
[11:26] <vezq> grab: I use unattended-upgrades package
[11:26] <mattronix> 12.04 is still unstable if i am honest
[11:27] <mattronix> i think personally that is safer to stay on 10.04

[11:31] <mattronix> i use the halt but it works fine for 10.04
[12:38] <grab> I have install my server on a VM, how to get a ip adress différent that the host (macpro)?
[12:38] <RoyK> what hypervisor?
[12:39] <grab> VirtualBox
[12:40] <grab> I want to create a virtual network equipement to connect by ssh my other machine
[12:42] <RoyK> you can use virtualbox's port forwarding
[12:43] <RoyK> or you can use bridge networking
[12:43] <RoyK> the latter is probably the easiest
[12:45] <grab> RoyK it's a connexion by point ?
[12:45] <grab> actually  im using the NAT, but i have the  host ip address
[12:45] <RoyK> just use bridge
[12:46] <RoyK> that way you can setup an address "beside" the host, on the same network
[12:47] <grab> ok it's true thank
[13:00] <bjensen> : 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] <patdk-lap> heh?
[13:01] <patdk-lap> isn't that the whole definition of *software raid*?
[13:02] <bjensen> patdk-lap: probably..just wanna make sure :)
[13:02] <vezq> patdk-lap: I'd recommend hardware raid if possible
[13:02] <bjensen> do you know if their S110 can be used with ubuntu?
[13:02] <bjensen> raid controller*
[13:03] <patdk-lap> oh, a *fakeraid* controller
[13:03] <patdk-lap> that is not a raid card
[13:05] <bjensen> the problem is that only the top server models have real controllers
[13:07] <patdk-lap> not really, the problem is, dells website option selections
[13:07] <bjensen> think their call service works today?
[13:07] <bjensen> ;-)
[13:08] <vezq> bought a T420 recently, you can get rack kit for it
[13:08] <patdk-lap> vezq, that is called a r420 :)
[13:09] <patdk-lap> I can't find any info about the s110
[13:09] <bjensen> patdk-lap: you think I can get a R320 with a H310 raid?
[13:09] <patdk-lap> likely it will work fine
[13:09] <patdk-lap> but I wouldn't want to use it's *raid* support, but I would use md instead
[13:11] <bjensen> 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] <bjensen> the h310 controller works with ubuntu 12.04LTS?
[13:12] <patdk-lap> bjensen, sure, it gives me that option directly on their order system
[13:12] <bjensen> what!?
[13:12] <patdk-lap> though, h710 is going be much faster
[13:12] <vezq> jep, h710 recommended
[13:13] <bjensen> Its going to be running a Ruby OnRails Web app
[13:13] <patdk-lap> it gives me the option of, s110, h310, h710
[13:13] <bjensen> won't need that much io
[13:13] <patdk-lap> bjensen, it isn't about io
[13:13] <patdk-lap> io depends on the disks you use
[13:14] <patdk-lap> the raid card you use helps decrease latency
[13:14] <bjensen> Ohhh I see now. its their ordering system hat is weird
[13:15] <bjensen> bah i gtg. thanks for the help
