[03:09] <N0tMe> hey all
[03:09] <N0tMe> does anyone know of a way to monitor /dev/null... I would like to mirror it to a logfile
[03:13] <hitsujiTMO> N0tMe: you can't: man null
[03:17] <maxwlang> Why does fuse refuses to work? modprobe fuse returns module fuse not found and /dev/fuse doesnt exist. Can anyone help?
[04:14] <N0tMe> sorry this netbook has issues LoL
[04:14] <N0tMe> .
[04:15] <N0tMe>  hitsujiTMO the man page basically just describes that it is a device...
[04:15] <N0tMe> i want to log users activity that pipe session hist to /dev/null
[04:16] <hitsujiTMO> N0tMe: its a device that swallows everything and only spits out null
[04:16] <N0tMe> yeh
[04:16] <N0tMe> I want to see if I can find a way to log anything sent to it
[04:17] <N0tMe> if I created it as any other device or a file,  it wouldnt send back a null when used to clear a file
[04:18] <hitsujiTMO> N0tMe: you can't monitor it, and you shouldn't monitor it
[04:19] <hitsujiTMO> N0tMe: what exactly is the end goal?
[04:20] <N0tMe> I just have a user that pipes his session to /dev/null so there is no history
[04:21] <hitsujiTMO> N0tMe: then modify it so its piped elsewhere
[04:32] <Titanium> just remove write permissions to /dev/null and the problem goes away :)
[10:58] <RoyK> trying to setup ldap auth against AD here, but it seems I must've made some mistake. How can I have it log debug status somewhere?
[13:22] <teward> ol
[13:22] <teward> oops
[13:50] <cjwatson> Hi.  Could somebody deal with SRU verification of bug 1134103, at least for precise?  I need to close out the list of updates for 12.04.4 today, and the other bugs fixed by the openvswitch output look as though they're probably important.
[14:14] <psivaa> hello, starting from 20140129, trusty server minimal installs for amd64 is now ~37MB larger than the i386 ones.
[14:14] <psivaa>  it is roughly 32MB overhead that is being used in the smoke tests.
[14:14] <psivaa> i could not find the package that started the bloat.
[14:14] <psivaa>  dont know the significance either. but could adjust the smoke test if this is not a big issue
[14:58] <hxm> hi, I should give a directory to 150:8 uid:gid, how do it?
[14:58] <hxm> if I use chmod it uses the username not the numbers
[14:59] <sarnold> you have a user named "158"?
[14:59] <hxm> id vmail
[14:59] <hxm> uid=150(vmail) gid=8(mail) grupos=8(mail)
[14:59] <hxm> /home/vmail/Maildir should be owned by 150:8
[14:59] <hxm> and now is drwx------ 7 vmail mail
[15:00] <sarnold> okay, so ls -lnd /home/vmail/Maildir
[15:00] <hxm> is the same?
[15:01] <hxm> when I do ll, I see this: -rw-r--r-- 1  5000 5000  3637 mar 30  2013 .bashrc
[15:01] <hxm> drwx------ 7 vmail mail  4096 feb  2 18:43 Maildir
[15:01] <sarnold> ls -ln asks to use the numeric uids and gids, it's handy if name lookups are slow (ldap) or you have multiple ids for one name (that happened to me once, stupid ldap and unix accounts..)
[15:02] <hxm> fine, thanks
[17:04] <mgw> Doesn't dpkg avoid overwriting an existing /etc/default file? I've built a package, but every time I install it, it overwrites /etc/default/<mypackage>.
[17:05] <ciastek> I use LXC containers and have set LXC's dnsmasq to offer ip addresses based on container hostname. It doesn't work anymore. How can I make dnsmasq to ignore client's DHCPREQUEST and offer address assigned to the client's hostname?
[18:16] <mgw> any ideas why my package is overwriting its /etc/default file on upgrade? I thought dh_installinit would ask before replacing /etc files.
[19:08] <Praxi> I started a apt-get remove for something and did not monitor its dependencies very well.  I noticed that it ran a reconfig on something I wanted to keep.  I switched to another terminal session and killed all the related dpkg processes.  I assume dpkg is going to recognize that it has uninstalls to do and try to proceed with the uinstalls.  Is there a way for me to stop that from happending?
[21:21] <Wilkim> hello
[21:22] <Wilkim> If I have a dedicated (really good but rather useless) laptop dedicated as a ubuntu-server setup running nginx, php5-fpm, mysql etc. Anyone has any recommended methods of having a real-time sync of the same files on my PC for editing, so I could edit, make a change, and then view them in the browser immediately to have the change to have taken?
[21:26] <sarnold> Wilkim: if your server exports the contents over nfs or cifs or similar, you could edit those on the PC..
[21:27] <Wilkim> Yea, I tried Samba-server for linux, works well but the IDE I use lags with the speed penalty of using cifs, thats why I was looking for syncing of some sort
[21:29] <sarnold> Wilkim: ah, fair enough; you could use something like incron (http://inotify.aiken.cz/?section=incron&page=doc&lang=en) to kick off an rsync ..
[21:29] <sarnold> that would move the lag to the viewing, but it'd be tolerable enough for small sites
[21:31] <TJ-> Wilkim: Have you tried sshfs ?
