[04:39] <sarek> I know there is a slim chance someone here will help me with this, but I might as well try. I used this guide to setup rutorrent/rtorrent on my server, but i cant seem to access it remotely. Its almost as if something is intentionally redirecting or stopping outside traffic, regardless of what ports i forward, ufw allow,  or nginx config i use
[04:39] <sarek> http://www.torrent-invites.com/seedbox-tutorials/272986-ubuntu-12-14-16-debian-7-8-seedbox-guide-script.html Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
[09:29] <linuxperia> Hi All. I have upgraded my Ubuntu Server to 16.04.01 and since then my Postfix Mailserver refuses to accecp email becouse of a non existent PHP7 extension see => "PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mailparse_msg_create"
[09:30] <linuxperia> i am trying since several hours to install this extension but nothing works on ubuntu even the extnesion exist. Have found other people having also the same problem! =>
[09:30] <bekks> your postfix isnt even related at that point, your php7 is.
[09:32] <linuxperia> yeah. the latest php 7 extension is missing => I need that one here => https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php/+build/9666000
[09:48] <linuxperia> the command "sudo pecl install mailparse" fails on ubuntu server with => "error: #error The mailparse extension requires the mbstring extension!" even the extension exist and works. other people with ubuntu have the same problem see here => http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35793216/installing-mailparse-php7-mbstring-error/36636332
[10:00] <bekks> linuxperia: And whats not working on the answer in your link?
[10:29] <linuxperia> bekks: i will have to recomplie it from sources and install it as a external package on my server. i rather would use the recommended way with pecl and the repositorys  this however is not availbe in ubuntu even it should. not sure why it is not possible to install php-mailparse on ubuntu server like other packages. really pitty!
[10:29] <linuxperia> have to go see you all next time.
[10:39] <bekks> He didnt even try...
[10:59] <jamespage> cpaelzer, that's alot of bin new
[11:07] <cpaelzer> jamespage: hi
[11:08] <cpaelzer> jamespage: sorry but what do you mean with "bin new" - the explosion of packages due to the libraries being split now?
[11:08] <jamespage> cpaelzer, yeah
[11:08] <bekks> libraries split from what?
[11:08] <jamespage> thats a bit of Debian-izn
[11:08] <jamespage> bekks, libdpdk split out into component libs
[11:08] <bekks> Hmm, and? :D
[11:09] <cpaelzer> jamespage: that is the way I was guided to package that when  discussing that back in Austin with infinity and pitti
[11:09] <jamespage> cpaelzer, its fine - just alot!
[11:09] <cpaelzer> :-)
[11:10] <cpaelzer> jamespage: if everything on auto-dependencies works correctly you might end up with OVS only depending on some of them
[11:11] <jamespage> cpaelzer, Depends: dpdk, openvswitch-switch (= 2.6.0~git20160810.7f5f2bd-0ubuntu1~ubuntu16.10.1~ppa201608101524), libc6 (>= 2.14), libcap-ng0, libethdev4 (>= 16.07-1ubuntu1~dev1), librte-eal2 (>= 16.04), librte-mbuf2 (>= 16.04), librte-mempool2 (>= 16.07-1ubuntu1~dev1), librte-meter1 (>= 16.04), librte-pmd-ring2 (>= 16.04), librte-ring1 (>= 16.04), librte-vhost3 (>= 16.07-1ubuntu1~dev1), libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0)
[11:11] <cpaelzer> that is only 7 yeah
[11:11] <cpaelzer> worked
[11:13] <cpaelzer> jamespage: I think we should add a recommends to "dpdk" as well to get the runtime bits (like dpdk.conf)
[11:13] <cpaelzer> to OVS I mean
[11:14] <cpaelzer> jamespage: uh - there is one that is odd in your list  librte-mbuf2 (>= 16.04)
[11:14] <cpaelzer> and there are actually more
[11:15] <cpaelzer> they should all be 16.07-0ubuntu1 if you built against the latest ppa or the git repo I sent you
[11:15] <cpaelzer> I see the dpdk dep is already in (the first one)
[11:15] <jamespage> cpaelzer, that was built againt things a few days ago
[11:15] <cpaelzer> jamespage: what do you think of the 16.04 deps in there - an artifact or an issue
[11:15] <cpaelzer> ah ok
[11:16] <cpaelzer> jamespage: on the real upload there will only be the new stuff around - so it will complain loud if it misses something
[11:24] <jamespage> cpaelzer, going todo another rebuild against your latests and will upload later today
[11:24] <yancho>  hi. isn't the /etc/hosts file to be read before the nameservers? i did 127.0.1.1 seminary.local and 127.0.0.1 localhost but nslookup 127.0.0.1 is going to the router and is giving me the translation to the localhost of the router
[11:25] <ogra_> yancho, the prder is defined in /etc/host.conf
[11:25] <ogra_> *order
[11:28] <yancho> order hosts,bind <- ogra_ hosts is hosts file no?
[11:28] <ogra_> yes
[11:29] <yancho> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23014592/ my hosts
[11:30] <yancho> ogra_: anything strange ur seeing there?
[11:32] <ogra_> yancho, not sure you can actually assign the same IP twice (line 3)
[11:32] <yancho> ogra_: even in the same line using space it didn't work
[11:34] <ogra_> and line 2 will most likely break any avahi/bonjour setups on that machine
[11:36] <yancho> y is that ogra_ ? line 2 and 3 i joined them
[11:37] <yancho> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23015086/ this is how it is at the moment
[11:51] <patdk-lap> ogra_, you can
[11:52] <patdk-lap> this isn't a reverse lookup table
[11:52] <ogra_> patdk-lap, ah, thanks
[11:52] <patdk-lap> your assigning 127.0.1.1 to whatever
[11:53] <yancho> so any bug ur seeing in my hosts patdk-lap ?
[11:54] <patdk-lap> what is the question?
[11:54] <patdk-lap> I don't see any issues, it is kindof impossible to have issues in /etc/hosts
[11:55] <patdk-lap> I totally don't understand what nslookup has to do with anything
[11:56] <yancho> patdk-lap: nslookup is not giving me the ip for 127.0.0.1 when I search for seminary.local (this is the openldap which resides on this server)
[11:56] <yancho> 127.0.1.1*
[11:56] <patdk-lap> well? did you put seminary.local in your dns server?
[11:57] <patdk-lap> nslookup, read the manual, looks up dns entries
[11:57] <patdk-lap> it doesn't EVER use the hosts file, as that is NOT dns
[11:58] <maswan> "getent hosts" is what you want to test resolving
[11:58] <maswan> not nslookup or host
[11:58]  * patdk-lap just uses dig
[11:59] <maswan> which also doesn't care about nsswitch.conf, just DNS
[11:59] <patdk-lap> :)
[12:14] <cpaelzer> isn't that the abbreviation ? - DNS - "Do" - "Not" - "Safely return the same"
[12:16] <maswan> (dig is far more useful for debugging DNS servers though, but won't necessarily point you in the right direction for local resolving issues)
[13:22] <dr4c4n> hi
[13:23] <dr4c4n> does anyone have any experience with re-installing ubuntu server overtop of an existing (but older version) installation and knowing what to backup?
[13:23] <dr4c4n> I mean, I have saved fstab and /etc/network/interfaces as well as the sshd config, and key files
[13:24] <dr4c4n> and /home are installed to a 16 gb sd card, and everything else is mounted from separate disks.
[13:24] <dr4c4n> can you re-install, and remount them, and it should be okay?
[13:28] <Braven2> I have done it on oracle linux.
[13:35] <dr4c4n> I'm wondering as it is a system for the place I work for
[13:35] <dr4c4n> and am wondering if it's possible to do
[13:35] <dr4c4n> as I have to minimize the time the system is down for, as there are developers counting on being able to access what I've recently configured in virtual machines on that system.
[13:41] <cpaelzer> dr4c4n: you might want to restore "more or less" the packages you had
[13:41] <cpaelzer> dr4c4n: https://kura.io/2010/07/02/using-dpkg-selections-to-backup-and-install-packages/
[13:42] <cpaelzer> I did the opposite, a normal upgrade but then cleaning up massivle via http://askubuntu.com/questions/66988/how-do-i-clean-up-old-packages-and-apps-after-upgrading/771873#771873
[15:17] <coreycb> jamespage, beisner: nova 2:12.0.4-0ubuntu1~cloud1 is ready to promote to liberty-updates when you get a chance please
[16:52] <jamespage> cpaelzer, dpdk uploading now
[17:36] <ddellav> beisner can you promote https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/neutron-lbaas/+bug/1460228 to kilo-updates? verification is done.
[17:46] <maxagaz> hi
[17:46] <maxagaz> I just installed the last ubuntu server, I get a black screen at boot unless I remove the gfxmode line in the grub config
[17:47] <maxagaz> why do I have such problem, and how is it better to fix it ?
[18:48] <Walex> maxagaz: maybe you are using hardware that is not supported yet. You are engaging in the difficult task of system integration.
[18:57] <maxagaz> Walex, it was installed on an old machine
[18:58] <maxagaz> the server works fine though, it's not so important
[19:38] <jayjo> what's the best way to test a cronjob?
[19:44] <jayjo> to test if a cronjab is working (like using the cron user)? Should I just set it for * * * * * ?
[19:45] <sarnold> if you can stand it running every minute when testing, sure, that's convenient enough
[19:46] <jayjo> it doesn't appear to be working - but I don't have a dead.letter either. weird
[19:47] <sarnold> fwiw I normally do something like > /var/log/whatever 2>&1   on cronjobs, I don't like the "mail" behaviour.. mail is hard and annoying to set up these days
[20:09] <jayjo> if I run the script outright it runs, but if it's in the crontab (even * * * * * ) doesn't run
[20:09] <jayjo> ownership the same, same group, executable
[20:09] <jayjo> don't know how to diagnose this
[20:10] <jayjo> no output, either
[20:10] <jayjo> oddly
[20:19] <jayjo> fixed it - my error
[20:22] <sarnold> jayjo: was a PATH assumption? :)
[20:22] <jayjo> sarnold: haha! yes it was!
[20:22] <sarnold> sorry I missed your earlier bits, but at least now you're going to think of this first next time someone reports problems with a cron job :)
[20:22] <sarnold> you've -earned- this one..
[20:24] <rbasak> Odd_Bloke or rcj: could you take bug 1596265 please? Looks legit. I wonder if we can have dep8 tests against DKMS packages to catch failures before the kernel migrates from proposed?
[20:51] <jamespage> ddellav, coreycb: requested promotions to updates completed
[20:52] <coreycb> jamespage, thanks!
