| sarnold | m1sf1t: do you have any error messages from apt-get? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| m1sf1t | sarnold: one sec... | 00:00 |
| m1sf1t | sarnold: just done apt-get update and it's downloading all the packages fine :S | 00:01 |
| m1sf1t | sarnold: but nslookup isn't working | 00:02 |
| m1sf1t | sarnold: a few have failed to fetch, but they mostly downloaded | 00:03 |
| m1sf1t | sarnold: it all seems to be working again now, ping ok, apt-get working. i think it might have been because i purged virtualbox | 00:05 |
| sarnold | m1sf1t: check /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf files to make sure they look sane.. | 00:05 |
| m1sf1t | sarnold: i looked in those while googling, they all seemed fine :S | 00:06 |
| sarnold | m1sf1t: could be, if you want to re-install and re-configure it, you could check route -n output before and after and see what changes.. | 00:06 |
| m1sf1t | sarnold: thanks :) i think i'll just install it on my laptop instead haha, maybe i'll think twice before messing about with my server unnecessarily | 00:08 |
| sarnold | m1sf1t: haha :) not a bad idea, though it can be tempting to use a big pile of iron to solve problems | 00:08 |
| m1sf1t | sarnold: thanks for the advice :) appreciated | 00:08 |
| m1sf1t | sarnold: haha yeah, a swift kick sometimes helps | 00:09 |
| sarnold | m1sf1t: have fun :) | 00:09 |
| m1sf1t | sarnold: right i'm off now that i've sorted that issue. it's gone midnight over here. thanks again, bye :) | 00:10 |

| elezium | hi ppl, I'm currently installing a home server. I did not play with Samba since like 10 years ago. Did it mature? Is there any alternative as a file server? | 03:58 |
| === veebull is now known as veebull_away | ||
| sarnold | elezium: hrm, that sounds like a difficult question to answer; samba was already very mature ten years ago, it's the basis for many (most? nearly all?) NAS systems that have to serve windows users | 04:00 |
| sarnold | elezium: so I'm curious where you felt it lacking a decade ago.. | 04:00 |
| sarnold | they have added more features to allow running it as an AD master.. see e.g. http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_%26_Active_Directory | 04:01 |
| elezium | sarnold, the configuration was messy, performance was not great... strange behavior... well, this is the result I got ... but I'm willing to try again. (Thx for the link, but I don't need a AD... (not yet)) | 04:02 |
| sarnold | elezium: hehe, I was afraid it was going to be configuration. still messy. it's probably worse even, since windows has gone through more iterations and more features ... | 04:04 |
| elezium | sarnold, I believe I can make it work ... only have 2 computer that will used it ... | 04:06 |
| sarnold | elezium: "strange behaviour" .. I'm not sure I ever got a network of windows 95 -and- win2k machines to have passwordless access to some shares. I suspect it'll be far easier now that the horrid old windows for workgroups codebase is dead :) | 04:06 |
| elezium | sarnold, haha.. yeah.. indeed, it was a win nt / 2000 / xp network mostly... but since my 2 computers are running win7. I guess I can figure out how to make a single share (or two) to dump my files back and forth | 04:08 |
| sarnold | elezium: that ought to be doable :) | 04:09 |
| elezium | sarnold, if not, I ask my boss to fire me! | 04:09 |
| sarnold | elezium: haha, good plan. :) | 04:11 |
| elezium | sarnold, while you are there, do you know any streaming server software? I'd like to drop music / video on that server, so I can stream them to my tab/cell/tv using UPnP (I think this is what they call it) | 04:12 |
| elezium | (frak.. I realise that always working with the same software, OS, I get numb with the rest) | 04:12 |
| sarnold | elezium: I found minidlna to be pretty good; I found that my hardware device was picky about file formats (boo) so it didn't work as well as I would have liked.. | 04:13 |
| elezium | sarnold, humm... not sure if it will like hardware under ESX... | 04:14 |
| sarnold | elezium: minidnla probably will do fine if it can get a multicast socket on an interface | 04:15 |
| sarnold | elezium: in my case the problem was the ps3. heh. | 04:15 |
| sarnold | elezium: time for me to bail, have fun :) | 04:16 |
| elezium | sarnold, I see... I don't care 'bout my ps3 since my TV is a start thing that can stream (did not try it yet!) | 04:16 |
| sarnold | elezium: nice :) it might also be picky about formats.. | 04:17 |
| sarnold | good luck | 04:17 |
| elezium | minidlna is now calledMedia Ready | 04:17 |
| elezium | probably, having one size fit all is hard... | 04:18 |
| DefunctProcess | ok I have a very noob question, but its late and i'm afraid i just need a second look | 04:24 |
| DefunctProcess | I used unetbootin to put the iso on my usb stick and chose the usb stick to boot from | 04:25 |
| DefunctProcess | but it just boots windows instead of ubuntu | 04:25 |
| DefunctProcess | I formatted the stick to fat before i used netbootin | 04:26 |
| cfhowlett | DefunctProcess, edit your bios to boot the USB | 04:27 |
| DefunctProcess | I tried and still got nothin | 04:27 |
| DefunctProcess | Is there anything I need to do ala setting some bootable flag or something? | 04:28 |
| cfhowlett | DefunctProcess, unetbootin should have done all of that for you. | 04:30 |
| cfhowlett | DefunctProcess, for more eyes on this problem, ask in the main #ubuntu channel | 04:30 |
| Settite | Hello. Can someone assist me with removing a package that failed to install properly? | 04:34 |
| MavKen | apt-get autoremove ? | 04:35 |
| Settite | Fails | 04:35 |
| DefunctProcess | force | 04:35 |
| Settite | Force? | 04:36 |
| Settite | i didn't think apt-get had a force command | 04:36 |
| Settite | well force option | 04:36 |
| DefunctProcess | maybe it doesn't i havent used ubuntu in 3 years | 04:38 |
| genii | Settite: Find it's stanza in /var/lib/dpkg/status and remove the entire reference. It will be as if it was never installed | 04:40 |
| Settite | What will happen when I go to reinstall it? | 04:41 |
| genii | Settite: It will try to do it as if it has never been on the system previously. | 04:42 |
| Settite | So any remnants of it including databases will just be overwritten? | 04:43 |
| freeflying | genii: dpkg -P | 04:43 |
| genii | Settite: So it will overwrite any config files it had for instance. If it failed to install the first time, maybe delete also in /var/cache/apt/archives any file which begins with the packages name | 04:44 |
| genii | ( in case the download was corrupt) | 04:45 |
| genii | freeflying: I think there's also something about reinst-required or similar.... | 04:45 |
| freeflying | genii: Apt does, but you're running into issues, so before reinstall it, you better figure it out what's wrong | 04:47 |
| genii | Settite: Could you pastebin the exact messages from apt when you try to install/deinstall? | 04:48 |
| * genii goes and makes more coffee | 04:48 | |

| hxm | hi, I have the /homes in a different partition and /var/www in the system partition, is safe or good practice to store the /var/www in a /home? | 09:49 |
| ikonia | hxm: /var/www is on "/var" - so you can't put /var on /home | 09:51 |
| hxm | with ln -s | 09:52 |
| hxm | i just wonder if moving all the http virtual hosts to other place is ok | 09:52 |
| ikonia | why would you want to do that ? what benifit are you trying to get / problem are you trying to fix | 09:52 |
| hxm | 36% used for rootfs and 0% used for /home | 09:53 |
| hxm | and it will increase | 09:53 |
| ikonia | are you at risk of running out of space ? | 09:53 |
| hxm | it could happen in the future | 09:53 |
| ikonia | if so change the doucmentroot settings of your apache hosts rather than use symlinks | 09:53 |
| ikonia | hxm: you'd probably be better served putting /var on it's own partition and/or changing the documentroot to somewhere with more space | 09:54 |
| hxm | aha | 09:54 |
| hxm | the server dedicated admin did this by default so I want to think create a different partition for the /home is a good idea | 09:54 |
| ikonia | again - not sure why you are talking about /home | 09:55 |
| ikonia | from what you have said /home is already on it's own partition | 09:55 |
| hxm | http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=KX1d09LF | 09:56 |
| ikonia | /home is already on it's own partition | 09:56 |
| hxm | yes and it has more free space than rootfs | 09:57 |
| ikonia | hxm: yes, we already know this, you said earlier | 09:57 |
| hxm | sorry | 09:57 |
| ikonia | apologies, I don't understand what you're asking | 09:57 |
| hxm | i just don't want to fill the system partition with data stored in the wrong place | 09:58 |
| === Sereil is now known as Ser|Away | ||
| ikonia | ok, so I've given you two options to resolve that | 09:58 |
| ikonia | you can do either/both | 09:58 |

| setra | hello, I like to change the default location of .Xauthority file which is normally in $HOME/.Xauthority for a specific user group. how can this be achieved | 10:25 |

| jamespage | I guess cause its a new package tools got confused | 14:54 |
| tomixxx3 | do i need the grub boot loader? i only have ubuntu on my computer | 14:57 |
| tomixxx3 | so, it should start automatically? | 14:58 |

| kaffien | is unebootin the most reliable way to create a bootable usb stick? | 15:40 |
| kaffien | for linux that is. | 15:40 |
| cfhowlett | !best|kaffien, | 15:45 |
| ubottu | kaffien,: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. | 15:45 |
| cfhowlett | kaffien, if you prefer it, use it. or use the alternatives. your free choice. | 15:46 |
| kaffien | ok then i'd like an option that will work. Must i first format fat32 and then run unebootin? | 15:46 |
| andol | cfhowlett: Well, assuming a task is well defined enough, surely there is a best application then? | 15:46 |
| cfhowlett | andol, we have a poll channel for such discussions. | 15:47 |
| kaffien | ok then to be specific when i am creating a bootable usb stick within windows. Do I have to format this stick as fat32 in order for unebootin to create a proper, bootable image? | 15:52 |
| andol | cfhowlett: Yeah, I can easily agree that such a discussion is off topic here. Mostly reacted against the statement of there not being a best application for a given task. | 15:52 |

| smb | zul, I have been looking a bit at bug 1248025. Weirdly I cannot reproduce this locally (neither HVM nor PV guest). Somehow my Saucy libvirt seems not to try doing MakeCapabilities. Should be the same versions though (if cloud0 means what I think it means (iow just a rebuild)) | 17:42 |
| zul | smb: which version of xen? | 17:43 |
| smb | zul, Appears to me rackspace is running 4.1 outside, though since they try to install libvirt inside the guest I am not sure it matters | 17:44 |
| zul | smb: *sigh* | 17:45 |
| smb | I would just expect the guest side to fail getting the control handle as it does for me | 17:45 |
| zul | can we get a guest on their system to try it ou? | 17:45 |

| * thumper believes we have smart system people who may have written this | 22:11 | |

| maxb | You can enlarge ext3/4 online, but not shrink | 22:12 |
| sarnold | thumper: you can online grow ext3/ext4 with resize2fs, but shrinking requires umounting the filesystem. | 22:13 |
| * thumper nods | 22:13 | |
| thumper | ok | 22:13 |
| thumper | need to reboot for kernel updates anyway | 22:13 |
| maxb | Also you can't have the kernel re-read the partition table of a device with mounted partitions | 22:13 |
| sarnold | maxb: oh, thanks, I hadn't heard that before | 22:18 |
| maxb | Neither had I until I tried to partition some unpartitioned space left unused on a semi-production system for future allocation :-/ | 22:19 |
