[00:19] <excalibr> Hello. can someone explain me why locking an account doesn't stop a process from running with the account priv?
[00:21] <sarnold> excalibr: locking only prevents the account from finishing the PAM login stack
[00:21] <sarnold> excalibr: existing processes aren't affected
[00:22] <sarnold> .. and processes set to run as that userid outside the PAM stack won't be influenced
[00:34] <excalibr> aha
[09:50] <antihero> Hello, how do I find out what packages I have installed by repo (e.g. nonfree, contrib, etc)? As I want to trim down my sources.
[13:01] <tom[]> is there a conventional place to keep a root crontab with jobs specific to the server's application (as opposed to its os)?
[14:01] <_KaszpiR_> hm
[14:01] <_KaszpiR_> seem I've got some issue with accessing samba share from win7 to ubuntu server
[14:01] <_KaszpiR_> the transter is ~ 16k/s to the server
[14:01] <_KaszpiR_> over wifi
[14:03] <_KaszpiR_> looks like the issue is when connecting to server using netbios name
[14:03] <_KaszpiR_> ipv6 tunneling problem?
[14:13] <_KaszpiR_> hm
[14:13] <_KaszpiR_> and now it works
[14:13] <_KaszpiR_> magic
[14:25] <Psi-Jack> Is it possible to install Ubuntu 12.04 onto a GPT style partition, instead of an msdos style partition?
[14:31] <RoyK> yes
[14:34] <Psi-Jack> Excellent.  I'm going to be rebuilding my ceph servers from being Arch based, which is a maintenance nightmare, to Ubuntu, and I wanted to simply format the base partitions for the system, keeping the partitions exactly as they are, install ubuntu, and copy my ceph configurations back over and get ceph re-joined to the cluster.
[14:34] <Psi-Jack> Fun times. :)
[15:06] <RoyK> Psi-Jack: I'm becoming somewhat hesitant to using ubuntu for servers after a few bugs I've reported hasn't been addressed much, or totally ignored. I think debian may be safer
[15:11] <Psi-Jack> RoyK: Ceph officially supports Ubuntu the highest, and since they're dedicated to Ceph and nothing else, I'm perfectly fine using Ubuntu for it. I'm actually currently using a lot of Ubuntu-based servers, but I'm migrating a lot of them to CentOS, just because I want to and it'll give me an edge of the infrastructure of my company's infrastructure platform.
[15:14] <Psi-Jack> Really, the only thing I really truly hate most about Ubuntu is upstart, and I can see that not going away, unfortunately. Oh, and Canonical's slap in the face of Wayland over Mir.
[15:17] <RoyK> upstart is proably the thing that broke nested raidsets
[15:18] <Psi-Jack> Heh, probably.
[15:18] <RoyK> I filed an xfs bug a couple of weeks back, they just flagged it as "incomplete" although xfs developers have confirmed it
[15:18] <Psi-Jack> but, I dunno. I hardly even care much about RAID, since mostly I use Ceph now.
[15:19] <Psi-Jack> xfs bug?
[15:19] <RoyK> well, xfsprogs bug 1189567
[15:19] <RoyK> !bug 1189567
[15:19] <RoyK> hm - sad bot?
[15:19] <RoyK> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfsprogs/+bug/1189567
[15:20] <Psi-Jack> Hmmm
[15:22] <Psi-Jack> And do you have confirmation from XFS devs somewhere that you can tack on to that to increase the severity up within reason? If so, I'd do so.
[15:23] <RoyK> see the note about sandeen confirming it
[15:23] <RoyK> sandeen@#xfs
[15:24] <RoyK> fixed in 3.1.8, but there were lots of fixes between 3.1.7 and .8
[15:24] <Psi-Jack> That doesn't seem to be anywhere in the bug report that I see.
 on #xfs @ irc.freenode.net, apparently working for redhat, confirmed this bug on xfsprogs 3.1.7, but not on 3.1.1 or 3.1.8.
[15:24] <RoyK> from the bug report
[15:25] <Psi-Jack> yeah, that's not reasonable enough proof. You need to directly link to a reference point that proves it, such as potentially Red Hat's JIRA bug entry for it.
[15:26] <RoyK> eh
[15:27] <RoyK> can you please test with your xfsprogs?
[15:27] <RoyK> the dump is there
[15:27] <RoyK> it's pretty easy to reproduce
[15:28] <Psi-Jack> I don't have a system i could just test that with right now.
[15:28] <RoyK> just apt-get install xfsprogs and run xfs_repair against the dump
[15:28] <Psi-Jack> I'm just trying to suggest hard references that can bump this bug to a show-stopper level bug that will help canonical put real effort into it, especially for LTS.
[15:39] <RoyK> Psi-Jack: well, it's easy to reproduce and the fix is in 3.1.8 somewhere
[16:15] <patdk-wk_> hmm, 12.04 has 3.2, so shouldn't it include that fix?
[16:15] <patdk-wk_> oh xfsprogs not kernel
[17:02] <RoyK> patdk-wk_: right
[17:02] <RoyK> it's not a kernel issue
[17:03] <patdk-wk_> ya, sounds like something I would shove into my ppa
[17:03] <patdk-wk_> so many things in there to fix issues in ubuntu
[17:04] <patdk-wk_> I did a hole crapload of work to fix xtables
[17:04] <patdk-wk_> made a very nice patch for it and packaged it and everything ,and posted it to the bug report
[17:05] <patdk-wk_> haven't heard anything
[17:15] <LargePrime> is there a way to know what the ubuntu package is named if i know the DEB name?
[17:18] <LargePrime> an app wants me to install "php-bcmath"
[17:18] <LargePrime> but that not in ubuntu repo?
[17:21] <LargePrime> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/5.3.2-1ubuntu4  does this mean i already has it?
[17:25] <patdk-wk_> LargePrime:
[17:25] <patdk-wk_>  The following extensions are built in: bcmath bz2 calendar Core ctype date
[17:25] <patdk-wk_>   dba dom ereg exif fileinfo filter ftp gettext hash iconv json libxml
[17:25] <patdk-wk_>   mbstring mhash openssl pcntl pcre Phar posix readline Reflection session
[17:25] <patdk-wk_>   shmop SimpleXML soap sockets SPL standard sysvmsg sysvsem sysvshm tokenizer
[17:25] <patdk-wk_>   wddx xml xmlreader xmlwriter zip zlib.
[17:27] <ScottK> patdk-wk_: What bug?
[17:27] <patdk-wk_> mainly that all dkms modules are broken for the enablement stack
[17:27] <patdk-wk_> but specifically one of the 10's of xtables enablement bugs
[17:29] <LargePrime> Thanks patdk-wk_  Sorry for the noobish question.  just double checking.  Is there a search tool to see if i already has a Lib in another thing?
[17:29] <patdk-wk_> bug #1166659 is the one I commented on
[17:31] <patdk-wk_> hmm, I guess that bug isn't specifically about the eneablement stack kernels, but same issue on both
[17:37] <LargePrime> Is there a search tool to see if i already has a Lib in another package?
[17:46] <ScottK> patdk-wk_: I thought you said you'd posted fixes that hadn't been uploaded?  I don't see any in that bug.  BTW, I've seen some DKMS + HW enablement stack bugs fixed, so it's not systematically being avoided.
[17:55] <patdk-wk_> scottk, I said I posted fixes into a package in my ppa, and posted that info to the bug
[17:55] <ScottK> I see.
[17:56] <patdk-wk_> atleast when I saw did that, just a few weeks ago, it wasn't fixed
[17:56] <ScottK> If you could attach a debdiff with the fixes and subscribed ubuntu-sponsors to the team, it will get looked at.
[17:57] <patdk-wk_> it's a bit more than that :(
[17:57] <patdk-wk_> it's a new version of xtables, with changes backported for older kernels
[17:57] <patdk-wk_> the changes to support the new kernel where much more than fixing it for older kernels
[17:59] <ScottK> I see.
[17:59] <ScottK> In theory that could still be done.
[17:59] <patdk-wk_> ok
[18:00] <patdk-wk_> ya, there is only two changes, one patch file, and orig source
[18:00] <ScottK> It's a bit outside the normal rules, but sometimes it makes sense to bend them.
[18:00] <patdk-wk_> it served my needs well, and worked on 12.04 12.10 and 13.04
[18:01] <patdk-wk_> so offering it
[18:02] <ScottK> Could you write a mail to the ubuntu-server list describing the situation and why you think this is the right approach?  It does need a bit more visibility than a normal bug report.
[18:03] <patdk-wk_> ok
[18:26] <LargePrime> how do i install libstdc++.i686
[18:32] <patdk-wk_> use apt-cache search
[18:39] <mojtaba> Hi, I have a spreadsheet with lots of hyperlinks, and I just want to keep the hyperlinks. Does anybody know what should I do?
[18:43] <mojtaba> Hi, Does anybody know how can I keep the hyperlink and remove the text from the spreadsheet?
[18:45] <mojtaba> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5790434/
[18:54] <mojtaba> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5790434/
[19:00] <patdk-wk_> mojtaba, use a channel that cares?
[19:00] <patdk-wk_> this is #ubuntu-server, not #officelibre or whatever it is called these days
[19:01] <patdk-wk_> there is no spreadsheet program in ubuntu-server
[19:01] <mojtaba> patdk-wk_: Do you know what is that?
[19:10] <xulf> What is going on
[19:18] <thesheff17> I'm trying to run qemu-system-arm -kernel kernel-qemu and I keep getting qemu: could not load kernel 'kernel-qemu' any ideas?
[19:19] <thesheff17> I have all the packages installed and I know this CPU works fine with the virtual machine stuff
[22:07] <wo0f> how do i enter M-1 to M-5  Arrange panes in one of the five preset layouts: even-
[22:07] <wo0f>                        horizontal, even-vertical, main-horizontal, main-
[22:07] <wo0f>                        vertical, or tiled.
[22:07] <wo0f> with tmux
[22:07] <wo0f> (wow sry for multi line!)
[22:09] <patdk-wk_> heh? panes?
[22:09] <patdk-wk_> ubuntu-server doesn't have panes
[22:09] <wo0f> yes panes, and yes it does work
[22:09] <patdk-wk_> oh, tmux isn't an x thing
[22:10] <patdk-wk_> s/panes/terminals
[22:10] <wo0f> what do the M-1 and M-5 represent? whats the M key, how do i enter it
[22:10] <wo0f> no x :)
[22:22] <qman__> Mod, also known as the Windows key or DOS key depending on where you come from
[22:23] <qman__> I believe it's also called Super in some contexts, too
[22:26] <wo0f> qman__: thank you so much!
[22:30] <wo0f> still at a loss, as to how to use the Mod key via putty!
[23:44] <Will_> hey all

[23:46] <Will_w> so i've got ubuntu LTS server installed to a virtualbox machine and installed LAMP and setup all that....however i think i've redirected my servers intial page from the /var/www folder to /home/user/public_html folder....what might i type to revert this?
