[00:53] <somerville32> soren, I'm going to update ebox-network to have a watchfile, mmkay? :]
[00:55] <Uaine> I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Server installed from a CD. I installed using encrypted LVM. The installation completed fine, and properly rebooted. I shut down, and removed the CD-rom drive. On restarting, cryptsetup could not find my device. After reinstalling the CD-rom drive, everything worked fine again. Do I need to do something before removing the CD-rom drive?
[01:20] * lamont looks at bug 180551 and mutters vile comments about the resolver's behavior
[01:20] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 180551 in postfix "Postfix myhostname defaults to uname() not gethostname()." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/180551
[01:24] <Uaine> I did just manage to fix my problem. I guess it's a quirk of the western digital hard drive. It was set to "master", which I thought would be fine. But aparently, if it's the only disk on the cable, it wants the jumper set to "single", not "master".
[01:25] <Uaine> So, thanks for looking at my question, anyway :)
[01:25] <Nafallo> Uaine: CSEL?
[01:25] <Uaine> It's an older drive. It only has single, master, or slave. No CS.
[01:26] <Nafallo> oh my :-)
[01:26] <Uaine> yeah, it's kind of a temporary thing. It's a new machine, and all my other hard drives are busy doing what they normally do. Now that it's up and running, I can start swapping hardware pieces.
[02:34] <ScottK> lamont: Even if you change it, Bug #8980 will probably bite you anyway.

[02:35] <ScottK> Spamassassin 3.2.4 is uploaded to Hardy and Gutsy/Feisty backports requested.
[02:35] <lamont> ScottK: exactly. it's not a postfix bug... it's a resolver bug
[04:48] <sayers> How would I have more than one virtual-host setup so I can have more than one website on a server
[04:54] <M43Th> how can i mount the DHCP to forward internet to a GNUbox enabled smartphone?
[04:58] <owh> I'm running a server with vmware guests. The open-vm-tools are installed. When I issue vmware-cmd <cfg> stop, the first time it fails with "VMControl error -16: Virtual machine requires user input to continue", after clicking [OK] on the console-gui, running the command again, makes it work as expected.
[04:59] <owh> The console gui error talks about the vmware halt script failing, but I cannot figure out where that might be, or why it succeeds a second time.
[04:59] <owh> Any debugging suggestions?

[08:42] <_ruben> hmm .. providing access to a printer thats connected to a ubuntu server box to windows vista clients isnt as easy as one'd expect :/
[09:28] <_ruben> using cups directly instead of via samba did the trick

[15:50] <joshwaryan> hello
[15:51] <joshwaryan> I installed the desktop version of Ubuntu 7.10 and the system was able to install and use my Raling wireless card
[15:51] <joshwaryan> when I installed the server edition, it did NOT find and install the card
[15:51] <joshwaryan> do I need to do this manually?
[15:52] <joshwaryan> if so, how?
[17:19] <RainCT> Hi
[17:20] <RainCT> I just installed mod_python, but it doesn't work.. :S
[17:20] <RainCT> Not Found The requested URL /test.py was not found on this server.

[21:19] <XiXaQ> I'm running 7.10 server, and I've installed the Mailserver task. Any suggestions on how to ridd myself of as much spam as possible?
=== ember_ is now known as ember
[21:33] <soren> XiXaQ: I'm quite happy with spamassassin.
[21:34] <soren> XiXaQ: You can use it through a maze of twisted custom scripts and hacks (what I do) or be sensible about it and use amavis (what I should have done, but have been to lazy to switch to).
[21:47] <[diablo]> XiXaQ, you want to look at the likes of DCC
[21:47] <[diablo]> XiXaQ, also, ensure you have spamhaus dns blacklist
[21:48] <[diablo]> XiXaQ, I mean, add em in to spamassassin
[21:49] <[diablo]> XiXaQ, the biggest check of blocking can be done at connection time
[21:49] <[diablo]> XiXaQ, http://www.spamhaus.org/ <--- invaluable
[22:06] <ScottK> XiXaQ: When soren says amavis, he means amavisd-new. There's an old old program named amavis. You don't want that one.
[22:07] <soren> Oh, right. Good catch :)
[22:07] <ScottK> XiXaQ: You can also integrate clamav through amavisd-new. In addition to anti-virus, it has some anti-phishing features too.
[22:10] <XiXaQ> hmm.
[22:10] <XiXaQ> any urls with more detailed information?
[22:15] <ScottK> I wouldn't do exactly everything the way it's laid out here, but it's more information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixAmavisNewClamAVSpamAssassin
[22:15] <ScottK> For example, dovecot is the supported mail delivery agent, not courier (though lots of people like courier)
[22:16] <ScottK> XiXaQ: ^^^
[22:17] <XiXaQ> well, dovecot is the one used with a Mailserver installation.
[22:18] <ScottK> Right, just didn't want you to think you needed to change
[22:19] <XiXaQ> ok.
[22:19] <ScottK> We get a WIDE variety of experience levels in here.
[22:19] <XiXaQ> :)
[22:20] <XiXaQ> I'm not very experienced with mailserver setups.
[22:21] <ScottK> XiXaQ: If you are going to be doing much with Postfix, I strongly recommend "The Book of Postfix".
[22:21] <XiXaQ> I'll have to look into that.
[22:32] <[diablo]> XiXaQ, http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDAPdiablo?action=show I'll have this finished in the next day or two
[22:36] <ivoks> this will not work in ubuntu :)
[22:37] <ivoks> postfix is chrooted, so it won't be able to acces /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
[22:41] <[diablo]> move the sockets within the chroot
[22:42] <ivoks> i know that :) i was just making a note
[22:49] <sommer> nealmcb: have Ubuntu on your XO yet? Running Gutsy with OpenBox myself... works great, much faster than sugar :-)
[22:49] <sommer> don't have all the hardware working though... no sound at the moment, heh

[23:19] <mok0> anyone here has a system that uses NIS?
[23:36] <soren> mok0: What's the problem?
[23:37] <soren> mok0: I don't exactly have a system running nis (thank $DEITY), but I have had quite a few nis-infested system under my wings from time to time.
[23:37] <mok0> bug 182721

[23:37] <soren> mok0: Could you please subscribe me to it? Username "shawarma"
[23:37] <soren> (otherwise I can't see it, as I'm not on the security team)
[23:37] <mok0> done
[23:37] <soren> Thanks
[23:38] <soren> Well known "problem".
[23:38] <soren> Let me find the first bug report about it...
[23:39] <mok0> soren: thx
[23:39] <mok0> soren: I could not find any reports on it
[23:53] <soren> mok0: Well, there are a few in the Debian BTS that are kind of the same..
[23:53] <soren> Debian bug 248500
[23:53] <ubotu> Debian bug 248500 in adduser "adduser: do not re-use uids used once" [Wishlist,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/248500
[23:54] <soren> That's the most notable one.
[23:54] <mok0> soren: should I add that information to the bug report?
[23:55] <soren> Could be a good idea, yeah.
[23:55] <mok0> fine
[23:56] <mok0> thanks, soren
[23:56] <mok0> soren: perhaps sbuild should choose a gid from the system range
[23:56] <mok0> soren: that would be an easy fix
