grufftechmaxb: basic functionality is there, but functions like rotating, resizing, ect are all not included.  which for my software, is a rather big deal.00:00
grufftechand as much as I could get away with keeping 10.04 LTS for another 2 years on our production platform, I'd rather upgrade and keep current with the rest of ubuntu.00:01
hallynDaviey: not sure what you mean - we're not preventing anyone from installing qemu-system-x86 on ppc and vice versa.   I guess we can just install both everywhere if you like.00:27
hallynI was just assuming ppl primarily want to run kvm for their native arch00:28
hallynI don't have a preference - long as qemu-system-lm32 stays off :)00:28
hallynDaviey: thanks!  gnight00:28

dexterboy1106I am trying to get my ubuntu server running had everything good then I ran into permission problems and I am reinstalling now, what i would like to do is have my owncloud  and my nas in the same dir and be able to move files between the two is that possible01:43
solitude88Before I make a big mistake Im sure. I need to make a few directories writeable by apache user which is www-data and right now all the files folders are owned by user and usergroup ubuntu. Question is is it ok to change all the ownership of all files and folders to www-data?01:49
solitude88files from from /var/www are owned by ubuntu01:50
sarnoldsolitude88: it would be better if your data isn't owned by your webserver user account -- an exploit for the webserver, or any scripts that may execute as the webserver, would have the ability to overwrite your data files01:51
sarnoldI've seen more than a handful of sites with exploit javascript embedded into their HTML files by hacked servers or scripts.01:51
sarnoldideally, your webserver has write permission to only its logfiles and whatever database socket it needs to do the job..01:52
solitude88thanks sarnold. How would you suggest that I do this. Currently I have a plugin that needs read/write access by the same user as the webserver01:52
sarnoldof course, if the whole point is that your webserver lets you manipulate files, then that might be what you have to do. but I'd be skeptical of such tools. :)01:52
solitude88well this is bad news lol01:53
solitude88thanks so much sarnold01:53
solitude88sarnold does it make a difference if all the files are under the public folder?01:54
sarnoldsolitude88: not really, that's just a convenient naming convention01:54
solitude88why would they make a plugin like this if its conviently exploitable01:55

sarnoldsolitude88: heh, he mentioned "standard upgrade script". that sounds ideal. :)02:00
solitude88I guess theres always a give take when dealing with simplicity over security02:01
solitude88and vice versa02:02
sarnoldsolitude88: sometimes. I for one would rather update something via "ssh foo@host" followed by "upgrade_script.sh"   rather than loading a webpage and clicking a bunch of things. but that's just me. :)02:02

dchI'm moving some scripts from screen to upstart, but have found little reliable information about correct dependencies using upstart.09:02
dchthis works:  start on (static-network-up and filesystem and local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo)09:02
dchthis doesn't: start on (static-network-up and filesystem)09:02
dchAre there any other examples other than the upstart cookbook, or a list of events / dependencies you'd recommend?09:04
dch[SOLVED] this is what I was looking for -- http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man7/upstart-events.7.html09:36
jpdsdch: Well, you don't want to use net-device-up IFACE!=lo anyway.10:32
dchjpds: so far I think local-filesystems is redundant, and my current (testing now) is `start on static-network-up and and started filesystem` does that look better?10:33
jpdsdch: Yep.10:34
dchI'm reading that as "when the static-network-up event is emitted and the filesystem /etc/fstab are all mounted, then start"10:34
dchI think my mistake was not differentiating between events and states.10:34
jpdsThe problem with "IFACE!=lo", is that the device might exist... doesn't mean you have networking...10:35
dchthanks for the clarification. it seems that a *lot* of people are using it though.10:36
dchin fact that's been my single biggest frustration with upstart is that the examples on the net are frequently incorrect and simply don't work on a fast system running in parallel.10:36
dchnot a fault with ubuntu per se, mind.10:36

PlizzoHello! I've just performed a clean install of 12.10 on a new SSD in my server, but for some reason it does not find my RAID partition (md0). I have three disks in a RAID5 - /dev/sda, /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, but there seems to be no raid anymore.14:23
Plizzofdisk -l tells me that these drives are Linux raid autodetect, so they should be okay. How would I get mdadm to assemble theese disks into an array again without any data loss?14:24
patdk-laptell mdadm to search and find them14:25
PlizzoI just did sudo mdadm --assemble --scan14:25
PlizzoAnd it did actually assemble them again14:26
PlizzoBut I noticed one disk has jumped out, so I'll have to add it again..14:26
PlizzoWell, I solved it myself, but it will take about 5 hours for the rebuild :P14:35

mbnoimi1I installed horde from ubuntu repository by apt-get... I'm wondering now what's next? Do I've to configure it or it's has already configured?18:01
blkperlmbnoimi1: you probably need to configure it18:05
mbnoimi1blkperl: Is there any manual or documentation for that? I googled a lot about this issue but I got many articles explain how to install from the scratch not from ubuntu repos.18:07
SpamapSmbnoimi1: it is most likely available at $hostname/horde/18:07
mbnoimi1SpamapS: I tried http://localhost/horde but I got 404!18:08
mbnoimi1installation command was "sudo apt-get install turba2 horde3 kronolith2 horde-sam nag2 gollem mnemo2 dimp1 sork-forwards-h3 sork-vacation-h3 imp4 ingo1 ansel1 sork-passwd-h3"18:09

verticalvoidhello all.  i've been working on installing my server (12.04 LTS) and have been trying to set up a mail server properly.  i've pretty much have followed the howto guides (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto), but am now at an empasse because squirrelmail is not working!19:15
verticalvoidi already have postfix and postfixadmin (although, not sure if I need that ? ) installed, courier is also what i am using.  it's probably a simple mistake in the MX records, and in the config settings for squirrelmail (i.e. which servername to point to, etc. since i'm trying to use multiple domains).19:15
verticalvoidbut, this is my first attempt at setting up a webserver ... so this mailserver stuff is tricky.  any help greatly appreciated.  back to reading more howto's ... but thought live help might be better.19:16
FaroukBAhello! well I want to ask about something: every time I update my kernel the processor's ventilator starts turning at max, stays like that about 3 min then returnes to normal. is it normal?19:20
verticalvoidFaroukBA:  i dunno.  seems like an odd thing to occur.  hence why you're here.19:22
verticalvoidanyone have any knowledge on setting up mail servers on a home server with multiple domains? (virtual hosts, etc.)19:22
FaroukBAverticalvoid, because I forgot where's the kernel dev channel :p19:29
verticalvoidthis i do not know ... maybe ubuntu-dev ?19:29
FaroukBA:) thanks anyway19:36
verticalvoidanyone know anything about mail servers?19:50
patdk-lapthey help me get more spam19:57
verticalvoidsure ... just trying to get mine set up on my homeserver.  but thanks for the extraneous info.20:00
patdk-lapyou have a home server that doesn't block port 25? that is strange20:02
patdk-lapyou did ask a very undirected question, and you expected a better answer?20:02
verticalvoidok, very true20:03
verticalvoidlet me be a bit more specific20:03
verticalvoidi just installed squirrel mail (i have postfix all set up ... i hope), and am setting up squirrelmail on multiple domains.  let www.mydomain.com = *, be any of about 12 domains i am hosting.  i want to be able to redirect */squirrelmail to the one directory that squirrelmail is located at on the server.  how is that possible with virtual hosting? seems simple but can't find an answer.20:04
verticalvoid<--- new at any webserver stuff, always had a 3rd party host, but am moving to the DIY model more and more . . .20:05
patdk-lapyep, just make a virtual host entry, and assign server aliases20:08
verticalvoidright ... so, like .. <VirtualHost *>20:12
verticalvoid  #ServerAlias /squirrelmail /usr/share/squirrelmail20:12
verticalvoid  DocumentRoot /usr/share/squirrelmail20:12
verticalvoid  ServerName www.matthewniemerg.com/20:12
verticalvoidoops, uncomment out #ServerAlias20:12
verticalvoidprobably comment out the servername too ...20:13
