[00:20] <teward> well... i'm getting a nice little NOQUEUE:REJECT from that :/
[08:57] <lordievader> Good morning.
[13:02] <FrEaKmAn_> is it normal that my main partition is called dev/mapper/ubuntu2--vg-root?
[13:02] <lordievader> FrEaKmAn_: If you've let the installer do lvm and your hostname at that time was ubuntu2, then yes.
[16:24] <sudormrf> hey guys
[16:24] <sudormrf> back
[16:24] <sudormrf> done a lot of searching and am not coming up with anything, hoping someone can help
[16:24] <sudormrf> getting this error for check_ide_smart: CRITICAL - SMART_ENABLE: Inappropriate ioctl for device. drive supports smart, 1 drive is not part of an mdadm array, others are.  smartctl can check the disks manually.  running the plugin against one of the disks manually returns results
[16:24] <sudormrf> for nagios
[16:25] <sudormrf> oh wait
[16:27] <sudormrf> nope
[16:27] <sudormrf> hunch wrong
[16:39] <sudormrf> odd thing about this is, I have another system running these same checks and I don't get any errors.  commands were copied and modified where necessary.
[17:10] <ppetraki> sudormrf, so can you find out what check_ide_smart is running on your behalf?
[20:13] <maddawg2> hey all... can someone tell me how to prevent the kernel from upgrading in ubuntu server
[20:13] <maddawg2> i.e. "pin" it
[20:13] <bekks> Pin it.
[20:13] <maddawg2> i've found instructions to do it in the gui but not via CLI
[20:13] <maddawg2> how would i properly pin it
[20:14] <maddawg2> can i just do sudo aptitude hold <the installed kernel package>
[20:14] <bekks> apt-mark hold packagename
[20:14] <bekks> But why do you want to not get kernel updates?
[20:14] <maddawg2> ah ok... is the output of uname -r the kernel package name?
[20:14] <maddawg2> it's for testing purposes bekks
[20:14] <maddawg2> not a production machine
[20:14] <maddawg2> we're trying to test something
[20:14] <maddawg2> on an older kernel
[20:15] <maddawg2> but it eventually upgrades so it makes the test pointless
[20:15] <maddawg2> lol
[20:15] <maddawg2> i assume the output of uname -r is the name of the kernel package
[20:15] <bekks> No.
[20:15] <sarnold> you could also uninstall the metapackage that depends on the newest5 version
[20:15] <maddawg2> 2.6.32-71-generic-pae
[20:15] <bekks> Thats a version, not a package name.
[20:15] <maddawg2> ah
[20:15] <maddawg2> how do i find out the package name?
[20:16] <sarnold> dpkg -i '*linux*' | grep '^ii'
[20:17] <maddawg2> huh?
[20:17] <sarnold> sigh,
[20:18] <sarnold> not -i but -l
[20:18] <maddawg2> dpkg: error processing *linux* (--install):
[20:18] <maddawg2>  cannot access archive: No such file or directory
[20:18] <maddawg2> Errors were encountered while processing:
[20:18] <maddawg2>  *linux*
[20:18] <maddawg2> oh -l
[20:51] <sudormrf> possible error in installer for server (not sure if it has been corrected yet): installing from USB, when it gets to the GRUB install it fails.  It looks like it is trying to install GRUB to the USB instead of the main drive of the system.  Finishing the install without grub, then using boot-repair fixes the issue.
[21:05] <arcsky> hello guys, how can i found out if my VPS provider did shutdown my server today or does my ubuntu reboot automatticaly?
[21:06] <bekks> arcsky: It does not reboot automatically.
[21:08] <arcsky> bekks: possible to see what could cause the reboot?
[21:08] <arcsky> dont see anything intresting in syslog
[22:25] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Hello! I want to install the lastest version of dovecot. Which PPA is the best?
[22:29] <jrwren> Emmanuel_Chanel: I don't think there is one. utopic comes with 2.2.9 which is reasonably current (imo)
[22:29] <jrwren> Emmanuel_Chanel: if you really want 2.2.15, might be easiest to get 2.2.9 package source and update it to 2.2.15 and put to PPA yourself?
[22:33] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Thx... I found https://launchpad.net/~malte.swart/+archive/ubuntu/dovecot-2.2 now.
[22:34] <jrwren> Emmanuel_Chanel: oh cool! Thanks!
