aardmarkis this the right place to look for troubleshooting support for dovecot / postfix ?02:39
sarnoldnot wrong, anyway :)02:39
aardmarkhah, fair enough. :) .. I'm getting errors trying to retrieve mail02:40
aardmarkMay 15 22:35:13 fountain dovecot: imap(aardmark): Error: user aardmark: Initialization failed: mail_location not set and autodetection failed: Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/home/aardmark/02:40
aardmarkMay 15 22:35:13 fountain dovecot: imap(aardmark): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information.02:40
aardmarkso I set up dovecot on my server, and am trying to get mail using my iphone02:42
sarnoldaardmark: is it looking for a ~/Mail/?02:42
aardmarksarnold: I would think it was, but the errors aren't saying that specifically … my 10-mail.conf file is configured with the line:02:42
aardmarkmail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u02:43
aardmarksarnold: so I would have thought that would do it … and both of those paths do exist for my user02:43
aardmarkno thoughts on this?02:57
aardmarkcan anyone help with some dovecot troubleshooting?03:08

Walexatuvenie: that's rather vague...15:24

aardmarkmy postfix configuration doesn't seem to be allowing emails to come in that are addressed to me… can someone help me with troubleshooting?19:06
jak2000 hi friends why can do an apt-get update ? here more info: http://pastie.org/10192155  thanks19:10
aardmarkjak2000: does a "sudo apt-get upgrade" work?19:11
aardmarkjak2000: the errors you're getting seem to be connectivity issues. are you sure the machine you're on has full access to the internet, etc?19:12
jak2000yes i am connected19:21
shaunoI Believe they're genuine 404s.  Saucy (13.10) was EOL'd in July 2014, so it's been rotated off the main mirrors (else the mirrors get way too big to politely expect anyone to mirror)19:23
jak2000aardmark: http://pastie.org/10192370  need install the essentials libs?19:25
shaunothe short-term fix is to point your source.list at old-releases.ubuntu.com rather than archive.ubuntu.com.  long-term, the good news is 13.10 to 14.04 is an easy upgrade, and 14.04 is an LTS, so you're "back on track"19:26
jak2000shauno for me?19:27
shaunosorry, yes19:27
shaunoyou appear to be using saucy, which is end-of-life nearly a year ago, per http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2014/07/17/ubuntu-13-10-saucy-salamander-end-of-life-reached-on-july-17-2014/19:27
jak2000how to know the version of my ubuntu?19:28
ObrienDavejak2000, in terminal, cat /etc/issue19:29
shaunowell, I took a guess based on 'saucy' appearing in every error in your paste :)19:29
jak2000Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l19:29
jak2000shauno then cant upgrade my ubuntu?19:32
shaunojust updating the packages within 13.10, you'd need to use the other repository  (old-releases.ubuntu.com, you're currently using archive.ubuntu.com)19:33
shaunoor you can upgrade the whole thing to 14.04 which is supported to 2019 (on -server)19:34
jak2000is possible do remotely?19:34
jak2000if yes, with putty? wich is the command?19:34
shaunoit should be but I'd bow out to someone with a bit more experience there, I tend to just roll out a new VM personally19:35
dasjoejak2000: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades19:59
dasjoejak2000: so, in short: replace "archive.ubuntu.com" with "old-releases.ubuntu.com" in your /etc/apt/sources.list, then run "apt-get update", then "apt-get dist-upgrade", then "do-release-upgrade"20:00
jak2000dasjoe: http://pastie.org/1019243620:04
jak2000its ok?20:04
dasjoejak2000: change security.ubuntu.com, too20:05
dasjoejak2000: you're good to go, then. Good luck, and as always: have a reliable backup handy20:06
jak2000arghh not work apt-get20:07
jak2000ok better i try reinstall20:07
dasjoe"apt-get update"20:07
jak2000W: Failed to fetch http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/saucy/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'partner/binary-amd64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)20:08
jak2000E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.20:08

ubot93Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience22:13
devster31hi, what can I use to mount a remote folder? I know about smb and nfs, and I use them on a local network, but I'm not aware of any similar solution to get a secure mount over the web22:19
