[03:22] <keithclark> I've installed apache2 and confirmed it is working.  I then installed munin and munin-node but I cannot get http://localhost/munin to work in my browser.  It responds with 'Not Found' error.  I see the files are generated in /var/cache/munin/www.  Any ideas what could be wrong?
[03:55] <xpistos> Hey guys. I installed lxde on an ubuntu server to do some testing but now when I reboot it goes right to the gui. How can have the xserver not start at boot up
[03:57] <sarnold> xpistos: you can do that with an upstart override file: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#override-files
[03:57] <genii-around> sarnold: Nice, I didn't know those even existed
[03:58] <sarnold> xpistos: I put "manual" into /etc/init/lightdm.override and X no longer started on my standard desktop install; presumably something similar will do the job for you (I don't know lxde details, but lightdm seems likely)
[03:59] <sarnold> genii-around: my opinion of upstart went way up once I found those :) I never much cared for the sysv symlinks, but the older upstart "just move the config file" didn't feel right either. this is simple and feels cleaner. :)
[03:59] <xpistos> I thought I needed to change the run level
[03:59] <genii-around> xpistos: Runlevels are the old way
[03:59] <sarnold> xpistos: heh, back in the day you're right, you'd just change '5' to '3' in your inittab and be done with it :) but upstart changed things a bit...
[04:00] <xpistos> so like "echo "manual" >> /etc/init/lightdm.override
[04:01] <sarnold> xpistos: yes -- but make sure /etc/init/lightdm.conf exists first (no point disabling a service that doesn't exist.. :)
[04:02] <genii-around> xpistos: That command won't work
[04:02] <xpistos> nope no file
[04:02] <genii-around> xpistos: You need like: echo "whatever" | sudo tee /etc/init/lightdm.override
[04:03] <xpistos> tee?
[04:03] <genii-around> ( replacing the "whatever" of course
[04:03] <sarnold> xpistos: "no file"? have you configured your shell in a funny way that forbids >> from creating a file? o_O
[04:03] <genii-around> xpistos: Yes
[04:03] <xpistos> no
[04:03] <xpistos> I just hadn't heard of tee before
[04:03] <genii-around> sarnold: No, it's just an area his logged in user can't make a file to
[04:04] <sarnold> genii-around: hrm. The error in that case is "permission denied".
[04:05] <sarnold> OH!
[04:05] <sarnold> xpistos: as in, /etc/conf/lightdm.conf doesn't exist. :)
[04:06] <sarnold> err
[04:06] <sarnold> sigh. time to quit. :)
[04:06] <sarnold> xpistos: as in, /etc/init/lightdm.conf doesn't exist, right?
[04:06] <sarnold> does /etc/init/lxdm.conf exist? if so, try "echo manual >> /etc/init/lxdm.override"  (or, if not logged in as root, use genii-around's neat trick, "echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/lxdm.override")
[04:07] <xpistos> didn't work gui still came up
[04:08] <xpistos> the only thing in that file is "manual"
[04:09] <sarnold> xpistos: this command ought to help you figure out which gui login widget you're using: service --status-all 2>&1 | grep dm
[04:09] <xpistos> lxdm
[04:10] <sarnold> xpistos: wjat
[04:10] <sarnold> what's in your /etc/init/lxdm.override file now?
[04:11] <xpistos> rebooting after trying the lxdm.override
[04:11] <xpistos> the only thing in that file is "manual" but it did work this time
[04:13] <sarnold> yay
[04:13] <xpistos> reboot and it is working
[04:13] <xpistos> Thanks guys
[04:13] <xpistos> Not I have to get oracle and sql developer plus installed
[04:16] <sarnold> xpistos: oof. good luck. :)
[04:16] <sarnold> (me, I'd use postgresql and be happy..)
[10:15] <frojnd> Hi there
[10:16] <cfhowlett> frojnd, greetings
[10:16] <frojnd> :)
[10:16] <frojnd> What a pleasant welcome :)
[10:17] <frojnd> I just found out that google doesn't provide free custom domain mails anymore
[10:17] <frojnd> Therefor I have to setup one mail server on ubuntu sever, only that I hadn't done anything like that before :)
[10:18] <cfhowlett> email server on ubuntu is a fairly common task as I understand it.  Never done it myself but ...
[11:06] <histo> frojnd: There are some good howto's on the net like woraround.org/ispmail  NOTE this is for Debian but it explains everything step by step so you will understand it. Someone took this very same tutorial and made a Ubuntu howto on howtoforge.com/howtos/email
[11:11] <frojnd> histo: first link is broken
[11:11] <frojnd> histo: I like understand stuff so I don't mind reading...
[11:15] <ruben231> hi guys i have installed ubuntu server 12.04 LTS but the mysql version it have is mysql 5.5 how do i downgrade it to mysql 5.1
[11:16] <ruben231> any idea guys
[11:16] <histo> frojnd: Hold up sorry let me find it
[11:17] <histo> frojnd: http://workaround.org/ispmail
[11:17] <histo> sorry typo
[11:20] <ruben231> :'(
[11:36] <ruben231> guys help how do i downgrade mysql 5.5 to mysql 5.1 please help
[11:36] <ikonia> ruben231: why would you do that
[11:36] <ikonia> ruben231: the aim is to use the version supplied by the distro
[11:37] <ruben231> ikonia: --->an application wont load and run with mysql 5.5
[11:37] <ikonia> ruben231: which application is this ?
[11:37] <ruben231> vtigercrm
[11:38] <ruben231>  ikonia:vtigercrm <--------------so many issue when mysql 5.5 is used
[11:38] <ikonia> don' know that product, sorry
[11:39] <ruben231>  ikonia: it just need mysql 5.1  but i ahve mysql 5.5 how do i downgrade it
[11:39] <ikonia> you can't
[11:39] <ikonia> that's why I'm trying to understand the issue
[11:39] <ikonia> ruben231: you'd need to find an external repo that contains the version you want, for the distro you're running
[11:40] <ruben231> ikonia: so ill just remove compelte mysql 5.5..? or ther eis automatyed downgrade
[11:40] <ikonia> ruben231: sorry, did I not just say "there is no downgrade"
[11:40] <ikonia> ruben231: what version of ubuntu are you using
[11:41] <ruben231> im using ubuntu server 12.4 LTS 64bit
[11:41] <ruben231> 12.04 *
[11:41] <ikonia> ruben231: ok - so that ships with a mysql package in the repo
[11:42] <ikonia> ruben231: that is the version ubuntu provide for your version
[11:42] <ikonia> ruben231: so if you want an older version, you need to find someone who has built a package of the version you want for 12.04
[11:42] <ruben231> yes and how do i downgrade it
[11:42] <ikonia> ruben231: are you reading what I'm typing ?
[11:43] <ruben231> ok so find a built package with mysql 5.1 and remoev mysql 5.5..?
[11:43] <ruben231> any idea where i can get this
[11:43] <ikonia> it probably doesn't exist
[11:44] <ruben231> :'(
[14:44] <zAo^2> can someone help me installing server?
[14:44] <zAo^2> I got "Your installation CDROM couldnt be mounted"
[14:45] <RoyK> booting from cdrom?
[14:46] <zAo^2> Yes
[14:46] <zAo^2> But Im wondering if the CDrom is a internal USB drive..
[14:46] <RoyK> hm
[14:46] <RoyK> should work anyway
[14:46] <zAo^2> since fdisk is not available, I cant see the drives
[14:46] <RoyK> cat /proc/partitions
[14:47] <zAo^2> lsmod gives me usb_storage though
[14:47] <RoyK> shouldn't matter how the cdrom is connected
[14:47] <zAo^2> hm. /proc/partitions is empty? :S
[14:47] <RoyK> bad sign
[14:47] <zAo^2> Yeah. The internal SATA drive should contain Openelec
[14:48] <RoyK> zAo^2: can you try with a thumb drive?
[14:48] <zAo^2> RoyK: installing you mean?
[14:49] <zAo^2> RoyK: at first there was a USB drive connected and the installer tried to install from it...
[14:49] <RoyK> yeah, installing from a thumb drive is usually faster too
[14:50] <zAo^2> Server installs are fine from cd
[14:50] <RoyK> well, sure
[14:51] <RoyK> just trying to come up with alternatives that may help
[14:51] <zAo^2> RoyK: sorry, thanks :)
[14:53] <zAo^2> Booting with cdrom-detect/try-usb=true
[14:57] <zAo^2> Didnt work. Log shows: Looking for install device ''
[15:05] <RoyK> try a pen drive
[17:45] <darkray> i want to  set up a dhcp server of ip address 151.2.10.127 which leases ip address to it's client in the range 10.2.10.100-10.2.10.200. could anyone help me ?
[17:46] <RoyK> !dhcp
[17:46] <RoyK> oh
[17:46] <RoyK> darkray: apt-get install isc-dhcp-server
[17:46] <RoyK> and then configure it
[17:47] <RoyK> it's pretty simple
[17:48] <darkray> RoyK: yeah, it's pretty simple,if you lease ip address in 151.2.10.0 network. but i want to lease ip address in 10.2.10.0 network
[17:48] <darkray> do u know how to do that ?
[17:49] <RoyK> well, first of all, two NICs
[17:49] <RoyK> then setup NAT
[17:49] <RoyK> then configure DHCP on the one with RFC 1918 address
[17:49] <RoyK> erm
[17:49] <RoyK> configure the dhcp server to serve that network
[17:50] <darkray> RoyK: i m doing all this in vmware
[17:50] <darkray> and i've only one interface eth0.
[17:50] <RoyK> then add another
[17:50] <RoyK> it may be possible with a single nic, but it'll be ugly
[17:51] <darkray> can't i do it w/o adding another iface
[17:51] <darkray> ?
[17:51] <darkray> doesn't matter how ugly it looks
[17:51] <darkray> pls tell me how to do it
[17:51] <RoyK> it's no problem having a dhcp server serving addresses outside of what's used on your network
[17:52] <RoyK> but it's not pretty
[17:52] <darkray> then pls tell me how to do it, i would be really grateful
[17:53] <darkray> RoyK : ?
[17:53] <RoyK> well, google isc dhcp or read the manual pages, or at least start with looking through the config file
[17:53] <RoyK> it's not hard
[17:55] <darkray> i've done all that
[17:55] <darkray> but didn't find anything useful
[17:55] <qman__> you should add a second interface for the LAN side
[17:56] <qman__> in the real world you would never configure it like that
[17:57] <RoyK> qman__++
[17:58] <RoyK> darkray: really, you need separate network for the dhcp part
[17:58] <qman__> even if you had them on the same wire they'd be on different VLANs
[17:58] <qman__> which would use separate virtual interfaces
[17:59] <darkray> qman_: i am practicing this because i've to configure this server in my office
[17:59] <darkray> so pls help me
[17:59] <RoyK> darkray: then add a new nic
[17:59] <RoyK> separate vlan
[17:59] <RoyK> clients on that vlan
[18:16] <qman__> exactly
[18:16] <qman__> it won't help to set it up wrong because that's not how you're going to do it later
[18:16] <qman__> you need two NICs
[18:46] <darkray> qman__: could it be done using dnsmasq ?
[18:56] <qman__> darkray, it could, just as it could with isc-dhcpd
[18:56] <qman__> but I won't help you do it the wrong way, you need to add a second virtual NIC
[18:57] <darkray> qman__ : thanx,
[18:58] <darkray> i've done it by adding a second virtual NIC
[18:58] <darkray> but still want to try and do it using only one NIC.
[18:58] <RoyK> why?
[18:58] <RoyK> it doesn't make sense
[19:01] <darkray> RoyK: just experimenting
[19:02] <RoyK> it still doesn't make sense
[19:42] <subman> I just added a printer to my Ubuntu server and CUPS found it well enough.  I just tried to print to it and the access log says Job successful-ok, but nothing actually gets printed.  Any ideas?
[19:46] <subman> Actually if I look at the 'Jobs' section of the cups web interface I see:  Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME)
[19:53] <sash1> hi to all, i need help with problem regarding access database on samba, can anyone help?
[20:08] <RyanLMul> Any help is appreciated:  Server 12.04 on VM - one of three installed.  eth0 stops communicating intermittently.
[20:08] <RyanLMul> dmesg | grep eth0 shows ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[20:08] <RyanLMul> restart of networking brings it right back to life.
[20:09] <RyanLMul> sometimes just trying to ping something will work.
[20:23] <RoyK> RyanLMul: what sort of vm?
[20:23] <RyanLMul> running ESX5.1
[20:23] <RoyK> ok
[21:24] <cocoa117> anyone have idea how to make Ubuntu 12.04 server pick up eSATA hard disk? the BIOS can see it, and the eSATA drive have been tested working in different machine with eSATA port running ubuntu 12.04
[21:24] <cocoa117> but under ubuntu 12.04 server, it just won't pick it up
[21:29] <hackeron> hey, I'm trying to run /usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch amd64 quantal target but getting: E: Couldn't download dists/quantal/main/binary-amd64/Packages -- any ideas?
[21:33] <hackeron> tried adding --verbose but it doesn't show anything, just I: Retrieving Packages
[21:33] <hackeron> I: Retrieving Packages
[21:33] <hackeron> any ideas?
[21:33] <hackeron> E: Couldn't download dists/quantal/main/binary-amd64/Packages
[21:42] <hackeron> oh, had no disk space left, heh
[23:09] <dingo> in my gui router config web page it will give me the ip, mac and device name. i have been trying to get the device name using nmap but all i can get is the ip and mac, the device name says unknown. how can the router know but not nmap? i have looked at host discovery for nmap but none of the options i have used(almost all, for host discovery, at this point) come back with a device name. i know there has to be a way...please help
[23:15] <maxb> The router's name may be, and probably is, entirely irrelevant for the correct functioning of networking, unlike IP and MAC. There's no guarantee or need that it be remotely discoverable at all.
[23:49] <dingo> maxb: sorry if i was confusing, i am refering to the device names of devies attached to the router
[23:52] <maxb> dingo: In that case, I can take a pretty good guess that the only reason your router knows those is because it participated in the DHCP exchange with those devices. NMAP didn't, so doesn't.
