[01:37] <MagBo_> Greetings, gentlemen! Does Ubuntu Server 12.04.2 support paravirtualization out of box? Is there an image that is PV-enabled in official mirrors?
[01:47] <Patrickdk> hmm?
[01:47] <Patrickdk> paravirtualization has been supported out of box for awhile
[01:47] <Patrickdk> but not many people really using it though
[01:47] <Patrickdk> as you can't use paravirtualization with 64bit
[01:47] <Patrickdk> but then, it is not needed for 64bit either
[01:49] <MagBo_> Patrickdk: very strange. I tried several times and still after the installation Xen says that the drive isn't bootable.
[01:49] <Patrickdk> heh?
[01:50] <MagBo_> OMG I'm such an idiot
[01:50] <MagBo_> uuid ( RO)          : d9429e8b-7a25-4fc6-8d9a-8437ea847341 name-label ( RW): ubuntu-12.04.2-server-amd64.iso
[01:50] <MagBo_> I was 100% sure that it was 32 bit iso :D
[01:50] <MagBo_> Didn't even check. Thanks for forcing a sanity-check, I'll download 32 bit iso.
[02:36] <MagBo_> Patrickdk: interestingly enough the following image: ubuntu-12.04.2-server-i386.iso doesn't work with Xen out of box as well. There must be some bootloader magic, maybe I'm missing some step I should do after I install the system via installer and boot it for the first time?..
[02:39] <MagBo_> But from what I see I suspect that it "thinks" that it operates in HVM mode :(
[03:03] <tohuw> How might I view all of the packages provided by a given source in my sources.list? (Ubuntu Server 12.04)
[03:38] <MagBo_> Patrickdk: turned out that there is no well-known way to make image-based installation work in pv fashion, and yes, the problem was that it "thought" that it deals with hvm case.
[03:38] <MagBo_> in the end, netboot magically worked. :x
[03:40] <Patrickdk> I don't think I ever did it that way for xen, ever
[03:40] <Patrickdk> I always use the xen-util builder program to do it
[03:59] <MagBo_> Heh, I'm new to the concept of running Ubuntu on Xen and new to concept of running things on Xen to be completely honest.
[04:22] <DrasticDragons1> Is it okay to delete the user "irc"?
[04:22] <DrasticDragons1> Or if not, just re-name it?
[04:24] <DrasticDragons1> I would assume as long as I am not running a ircd it shouldn't matter if the user is gone or not.
[07:34] <majorrabbid> hello everyone
[09:49] <larsemil> for some reason my install put sv_US.ISO-8859-1 as locale. i dont find the file where this is set.???
[09:49] <larsemil> i have searched /etc for "sv_US" but no luck
[09:52] <maxb> That's odd - it's normally set via /etc/default/locale
[09:52] <larsemil> yes.
[09:52] <andol> larsemil: What to be generated or what to use as a default?
[09:52] <Senor> how to set nameserver
[09:53] <larsemil> andol: to be used.
[09:53] <andol> larsemil: What happens (not) when you set LANG in /etc/default/locale then?
[09:54] <mardraum> Senor: man resolvconf
[09:54] <maxb> larsemil: Where are you actually seeing sv_US.ISO-8859-1 if not in /etc/, then?
[09:54] <larsemil> maxb: locale
[09:55] <Senor> I write nameserver into /etc/reslov.conf, but it need write agan at next system startup
[09:55] <larsemil> now i think i solved it. typo.
[09:55] <larsemil> #¤%&/
[09:55] <Senor> I write nameserver into /etc/reslov.conf, but it need write again at next system startup
[09:57] <mardraum> Senor: man resolvconf
[11:04] <histo> Senor: resolvconf gets replaced. You can place nameservers in /etc/init.d/networking or use /etc/resolvconf/resolvconf.d/head
[11:12] <mardraum> histo: er, no
[11:12] <mardraum> histo: you read the manpage, and you don't do either of those things
[11:16] <histo> mardraum: yes you do
[11:16] <histo> mardraum: read the man page about /etc/network/interfaces
[11:16] <mardraum> really? shall I paste you the contents of head?
[11:17] <histo> mardraum: How do you think the warning message gets in the resolv.conf file???
[11:17] <mardraum> heh
[11:17] <histo> mardraum: I should say read the resolvconf man page about /etc/network/interfaces It says right there you can add dns- lines to the iface stanza
[11:18] <mardraum> it means in the file "interfaces"
[11:18] <mardraum> not in the file "head"
[11:19] <histo> mardraum: Right as I suggested. I merely suggested head as an alternative because it will also work. However the proper way is in interfaces
[11:19] <histo> depends on proper I guess though.
[11:19] <mardraum> no, it's the wrong way
[11:19] <mardraum> and editing the init.d script is wrong too
[11:19] <histo> What?
[11:20] <histo> mardraum: How is putting dns-namserver in interfaces wrong?
[11:20] <mardraum> now you are trolling
[11:20] <histo> No i'm just confused.
[11:20] <mardraum> go read what you initially suggested.
[11:20] <histo> At your point
[11:20] <histo> lol
[11:20] <mardraum> my point is this. you suggested editing an init.d script or "head"
[11:20] <histo> my bad tab completed and didn't even look
[11:20] <mardraum> both are wrong
[11:21] <histo> It was my tab completion I meant /etc/network/interfaces I started typing ini<tab> before netw<tab>
[11:22] <mardraum> "21:19 < histo> mardraum: Right as I suggested. I merely suggested head as an alternative because it will also work."
[11:22] <mardraum> bullshit man.
[11:22] <histo> huh?  Head will work
[11:23] <histo> I tried suggestion the proper way first and suggested a secondary option.
[11:24] <histo> !language | mardraum
[14:07] <Phoenixxl> Hello , in isc-dhcp-server , when an option is set globally , how can one "blank" or "erase" it for individual cases ? replacing is just a matter of setting it again ..
[14:07] <Phoenixxl> Thnx for any suggestion .
[14:34] <pmatulis_> Phoenixxl: what cases?
[15:26] <zerick> Anybody knows if starting Corosync at boot is safe?
[16:11] <TheLordOfTime> how do i change the gpg home directory for a user?
[16:11] <TheLordOfTime> s/gpg/gnupg/
[16:35] <genii-around> TheLordOfTime: I think you'd either have to call it with --homedir /wherever    or else set GNUPGHOME=/wherever   and then EXPORT it
[16:39]  * genii-around ponders some /etc/skel/.gnupg 
[16:54] <zul> yolanda:  still around?
[16:55] <yolanda> still here, i had to go out in the morning for a while, so still working
[16:55] <zul> yolanda:  cool can you have a look https://code.launchpad.net/~zulcss/cinder/cinder-fixtures-deps/+merge/165916
[16:55] <yolanda> ok
[17:19] <NomadJim> any idea why this works fine: WSGIDaemonProcess localhost python-path=/srv/testdj/beginnerdj
[17:19] <NomadJim> but WSGIPythonPath /srv/testdj/beginnerdj
[17:19] <NomadJim> cause this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libapache2-mod-python/+bug/1073147
[17:19] <NomadJim> *causes
[17:21] <NomadJim> is it bad to use the first one? cuz if it ain't broke...
[17:23] <Jinxed-> Does anyone know if there is an m$ exchange room?
[18:39] <Ron72> Can anyone tell me if installing xorg on a webserver is a big security risk?
[18:41] <RoyK> Ron72: it's not big security risk, but why would you? you can run those X11 apps over ssh from your desktop/laptop even if it runs windows (with xming etc)
[18:41] <Ron72> Thanks RoyK. Yes, but in order to forward X11 xorg has to be installed, right?
[18:42] <RoyK> no
[18:42] <RoyK> only the x11 libs
[18:42] <RoyK> and xauth
[18:43] <Ron72> RoyK: oh. Okay. Do you know what I have to install for the basic x11 libs?
[18:43] <RoyK> x11 is a client/server thing, the other way around than usual - your desktop or laptop has the X11 server, the server to which you login has the x11 client and connects to your server via ssh
[18:43] <RoyK> Ron72: ssh -x somebox
[18:43] <RoyK> and run xeyes
[18:44] <RoyK> you need xauth too, as I said, if it's not installed, install it and log out and in again from that server
[18:44] <RoyK> xauth must be installed on the server
[18:44] <RoyK> oh, ssh -X
[18:44] <RoyK> not -x
[18:44] <RoyK> -x disables x11 forwarding, -X enables it
[18:45] <Ron72> Okay. Do you know a way to reconnect to a specific window when I lose my connection? Screen does not work, right?
[18:45]  * RoyK has x11 forwarding enabled in ssh_config
[18:45] <RoyK> Ron72: you can't connect to an existing x11 session with normal x setup
[18:45] <Ron72> Okay.
[18:46] <Ron72> Thank you!
[18:46] <izanagisan> good day/night all
[18:47] <RoyK> you can use nxclient/nomachine/opennx, though
[18:47] <RoyK> or vnc
[18:47] <RoyK> izanagisan: good localtime();
[18:48] <izanagisan> I'm having a problem with an Expect script run from crontab. If I run it from console, it's perfect. If I execute it from crontab, the part where I give it a parameter as /home/myuser/dbbackups/$(date +"%Y-%m-%d").backup doesn't work. Anyone know what can I do to avoid that?
[18:49] <izanagisan> tried putting the parameter in simple quotes, didn't help : (
[18:49] <izanagisan> (I don't think it's an error per se. It's just that in crontab, the space between 'date' and '+' is interpreted as passing to the next parameter
[19:00] <baniir> hi. is anyone here running raid10 on ebs? i changed readahead values with blockdev, but i don't think the settings are persisting through reboots
[19:04] <Ron72> RoyK: Still there? I'm curious. How do you edit documents on your server? I'd like to use a GUI text editor in order to jump between configuration files or code faster. Don't you use x forwarding or something?
[19:05] <PryMar56> Ron72, use geany over ssh
[19:05] <RoyK> Ron72: I use vim
[19:05] <Ron72> RoyK & PryMar56. Thanks
[19:06] <RoyK> may be old-school, but so does my collegues aged 23 or so
[19:07] <izanagisan> maybe I'll make a shell script that executes the Expect script, and call the shell script from crontab...
[19:10] <phillw> Hi server people, has there a classroom session been held on LVM?
