[02:39] <aardmark> is this the right place to look for troubleshooting support for dovecot / postfix ?
[02:39] <sarnold> not wrong, anyway :)
[02:40] <aardmark> hah, fair enough. :) .. I'm getting errors trying to retrieve mail
[02:40] <aardmark> May 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] <aardmark> May 15 22:35:13 fountain dovecot: imap(aardmark): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information.
[02:42] <aardmark> so I set up dovecot on my server, and am trying to get mail using my iphone
[02:42] <sarnold> aardmark: is it looking for a ~/Mail/?
[02:42] <aardmark> sarnold: I would think it was, but the errors aren't saying that specifically … my 10-mail.conf file is configured with the line:
[02:43] <aardmark> mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
[02:43] <aardmark> sarnold: so I would have thought that would do it … and both of those paths do exist for my user
[02:57] <aardmark> no thoughts on this?
[03:08] <aardmark> can anyone help with some dovecot troubleshooting?
[12:45] <atuvenie> Hey, can someone help me with a little problem. I have ubuntu server 14.04.2 and for some reason it is ignoring my static ip setting in /etc/network/interfaces
[12:46] <atuvenie> but for some reason after a minute or so it is still making requests to dhcp server
[14:27] <teward> rbasak: ping if you're around, otherwise disregard
[15:24] <Walex> atuvenie: that's rather vague...
[15:25] <Walex> atuvenie: however if you are the impression that defining entries in '/etc/network/interfaces' automatically disables DHCp that's bit optimistic
[17:03] <strikov> smoser: hey, around?
[19:06] <aardmark> my postfix configuration doesn't seem to be allowing emails to come in that are addressed to me… can someone help me with troubleshooting?
[19:10] <jak2000>  hi friends why can do an apt-get update ? here more info: http://pastie.org/10192155  thanks
[19:11] <aardmark> jak2000: does a "sudo apt-get upgrade" work?
[19:12] <aardmark> jak2000: 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?
[19:21] <jak2000> yes i am connected
[19:23] <shauno> I 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)
[19:25] <jak2000> aardmark: http://pastie.org/10192370  need install the essentials libs?
[19:26] <shauno> the 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"
[19:27] <jak2000> shauno for me?
[19:27] <shauno> sorry, yes
[19:27] <shauno> you 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/
[19:28] <jak2000> how to know the version of my ubuntu?
[19:29] <ObrienDave> jak2000, in terminal, cat /etc/issue
[19:29] <shauno> well, I took a guess based on 'saucy' appearing in every error in your paste :)
[19:29] <jak2000> Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l
[19:32] <jak2000> shauno then cant upgrade my ubuntu?
[19:33] <shauno> just 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)
[19:34] <shauno> or you can upgrade the whole thing to 14.04 which is supported to 2019 (on -server)
[19:34] <jak2000> is possible do remotely?
[19:34] <jak2000> if yes, with putty? wich is the command?
[19:35] <shauno> it should be but I'd bow out to someone with a bit more experience there, I tend to just roll out a new VM personally
[19:59] <dasjoe> jak2000: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[20:00] <dasjoe> jak2000: 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"
[20:04] <jak2000> dasjoe: http://pastie.org/10192436
[20:04] <jak2000> its ok?
[20:05] <dasjoe> jak2000: change security.ubuntu.com, too
[20:06] <dasjoe> jak2000: you're good to go, then. Good luck, and as always: have a reliable backup handy
[20:07] <jak2000> arghh not work apt-get
[20:07] <jak2000> ok better i try reinstall
[20:07] <dasjoe> "apt-get update"
[20:08] <jak2000> W: 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] <jak2000> E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

[22:19] <devster31> hi, 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 web
