| [00:09] <prey_alone> RubyGems runs really slowly on my Ubuntu server. I've done gem update --system, but it still takes some thirty minutes to get SQLite or even JSON. | |
| [00:47] <flyingparchment> i'm having problems install 7.10 on a sparc enterprise T5120 - it's hung twice during package installation. is this a known issue? | |
| [01:06] <Deeps> urr | |
| [01:06] <Deeps> i dont think sparc is supported, only x86 and 64bit amd/intel | |
| [01:07] <flyingparchment> if it wasn't supported i think the installation would stop a little bit earlier than that ;) | |
| [01:07] <flyingparchment> it's not supported in 8.04, but 7.10 is | |
| [01:08] <Deeps> true | |
| [01:23] <flyingparchment> hmm.. maybe this time it didn't hang, it just took an hour to get past whatever it was doing | |
| [01:24] <Deeps> alt+f4 | |
| [01:24] <Deeps> switches you to the logging vt | |
| [01:24] <flyingparchment> serial console | |
| [01:25] <Deeps> oh, heh | |
| [01:25] <flyingparchment> the system doesn't even have a graphics card ;) | |
| === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx | |
| [03:02] <flyingparchment> heh, managed to install it, now i get segfaults while compiling php. guess the T2 isn't quite supported yet ;) | |
| [03:19] <cody-somerville> Woot. :) | |
| [03:19] <cody-somerville> I got work to use Ubuntu on its two new servers. <g> | |
| [03:23] <cyris|> Hey everyone. I've just finished installing cups. I've added a printer and now want to push drivers to windows clients. i'm running the command cupsaddsmb -a but it seems to just hang after I enter my root password, any ideas? | |
| [03:24] <cyris|> The server is a p3 900mhz | |
| [03:24] <cyris|> running 8.04 | |
| [03:30] <cody-somerville> cyris|, I've never set that up before but I found a pretty comprehensive tutorial: http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netsysm/article.php/3621876 | |
| [03:40] <cyris|> cody-someville thanks I will take a look. | |
| [03:48] <cody-somerville> Where is the survey described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Survey/Launch ? | |
| [05:14] * nealmcb hopes atomicsparc doesn't run into avahi problems with his own .local domain.... | |
| [06:22] <osmosis> what time would /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 run? | |
| [06:49] <hads> osmosis: It's run from /etc/cron.daily/ which is defined in /etc/crontab as 25 6 * * * | |
| [06:49] <hads> (it being logrotate) | |
| [06:50] <hads> In case you arent familiar with cron, that means 0625 every day. | |
| [06:54] <hads> What's the way to keep guests clocks in sync with KVM? | |
| [06:54] <hads> s/the way/the recommended way/ | |
| [06:55] <osmosis> hads: can you tell me what this means? | |
| [06:55] <osmosis> 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * www-data [ -x /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -a -f /etc/awstats/awstats.conf -a -r /var/log/apache/access.log ] && /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=awstats -update >/dev/null | |
| [06:56] <osmosis> I dont understand what the whole part in brackets is for. | |
| [06:58] <hads> osmosis: [ is an alias for the test command (a builting in bash or executable in sh). You can get information about builtin commands by using help, e.g. help [ or help test | |
| [06:59] <hads> Basically it's doing a bunch of tests before it runs the script (after the &&). Making sure files exist and are executable etc. | |
| [07:00] <osmosis> hads: I had to remove that block because it was stopping it from working. | |
| [07:01] <hads> I assume one of the tests was failing then. They're probably there for a reason :) | |
| [07:04] <osmosis> hads: good point | |
| [07:05] <osmosis> hads: it was just bugging me that it wasnt working, but now that I know it works, maybe ill reinvestigate | |
| [07:05] <osmosis> hads: one of the issues im having right now is if the first cron process doesnt finish within 10 min, it launches another and they start overlaping. | |
| [07:16] <hads> osmosis: I don't know that much about awstats really. | |
| [07:55] <sten_> Hi. anyone here? | |
| [08:57] <LMJ> question around fetchmail/procmail : fetchmail pick up my emails from a remote pop3 server but delivery them on /var/mail/~ instead of the rule i've put in /etc/procmailrc to put them in ~/mail/INBOX do you know where could be the issue ? | |
| [09:12] <_ruben> LMJ: apparently fetchmail is doing the local delivery itself, and not using procmail to do so, its probably a configuration setting somewhere (in fetchmail) | |
| [09:13] <LMJ> hum, let me see _ruben , thanks | |
| [09:13] <Kamping_Kaiser> \o/ got anonftparchive syncing | |
| [09:25] <LMJ> strance _ruben, I can't see any fetchmail information to configure it on that way | |
| [09:26] <_ruben> http://www.ilkertemir.com/document/fetchmail-procmail.html .. first link on google for "fetchmail procmail" | |
| [09:27] <_ruben> the "mda" option seems to be what you're looking for | |
| [09:29] <Kamping_Kaiser> is packages.u.c running like treakle for anyone else? | |
| [11:18] <nrpil> hello people, i'm trying to install ubuntu server edition but the installer cannot find the package efi-modules | |
| [11:18] <nrpil> i've looked on the cdrom and it's indeed not there, it's not even an ubuntu package, it is however a debian package | |
| [11:21] <nrpil> could someone help me ? | |
| [11:23] <Deeps> !info efi-modules | |
| [11:23] <ubottu> Package efi-modules does not exist in hardy | |
| [11:23] <Deeps> sounds like it could be a bug assuming you're attempting to install a hardy server | |
| [11:24] <Deeps> have you looked on launchpad to see if there are any other reports of thi? | |
| [11:25] <nrpil> Deeps: yes i did, one moment | |
| [11:26] <nrpil> Deeps: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/144207 | |
| [11:26] <uvirtbot> Launchpad bug 144207 in debian-installer "gusty installation failed with "Hash Sum mismatch"" [Undecided,Invalid] | |
| [11:26] <nrpil> Deeps: same error so i can conferm it's still valid | |
| [11:26] <nrpil> confirm | |
| [11:27] <Deeps> same error? "DEBUG: resoluver (efi-modules): package doesn't exist (ignored)" ? | |
| [11:27] <Deeps> that's not actually the error being reported btw | |
| [11:28] <Deeps> and infact, that's not a show-stopping error | |
| [11:28] <Deeps> "Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016.1)/pool/main/x/auth/xauth_1.0.2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb Hash Sum mismatch" is the error being reported here, and chances are that's due to a defect on the CD | |
| [11:28] <Deeps> (the physical media) | |
| [11:28] <nrpil> Deeps: i've tested the cdrom | |
| [11:28] <Deeps> you need to find your actual error | |
| [11:28] <nrpil> Deeps: and it is a showstopper, since i cannot continue | |
| [11:29] <Deeps> as that efi-modules line, if it's as mentioned in the bug report you've listed, is not an error | |
| [11:29] <Deeps> but rather some debug output (notice the "ignored" at the end of the line) | |
| [11:29] <Deeps> look higher up for what's stopping you | |
| [11:29] <nrpil> ok, one moment | |
| [11:31] <nrpil> i also see a bad md5sum but i tested the cd ? | |
| [11:32] <Deeps> it's all about context, if the md5sum error results in more significant failures, then i'd recommend reburning | |
| [11:32] <Deeps> compare the md5 of the iso with that listed on the download page | |
| [11:32] <Deeps> before reburning | |
| [11:34] <nrpil> Deeps: ok, i'll download it again, md5sum it and burn it, seems like the cd test isn't doing what i expected | |
| [11:49] <nrpil> Deeps: thanks ! | |
| [11:50] <Deeps> np | |
| [11:59] <digitalspaghetti> Hey folks, I'm trying to upgrade my remote server to 8.04, but at the moment I keep getting this issue: http://dpaste.com/48175/ | |
| [12:00] <digitalspaghetti> i've run aptitude clean and i also ran dpkg --configure -a | |
| [12:00] <ogra> did you use th eupdate-manager as recommended ? | |
| [12:00] <digitalspaghetti> orga, i used do-release-update, as it's a CLI server, no X on it | |
| [12:00] <ogra> apt and aptitude wont do the right thing here, its expected that you have to install stuff manually alongside and work aournd probs | |
| [12:00] <ogra> right | |
| [12:01] <ogra> thats the cli variant | |
| [12:01] <ogra> (still update-manager though :) ) | |
| [12:01] <digitalspaghetti> i did try that first, but when i broke, i tried to use aptitude full-upgrade | |
| [12:02] <digitalspaghetti> when i do update manager, i get a different, but similar error: | |
| [12:02] <ogra> did you update to the patest packages before starting (from gutsy-updates) ? | |
| [12:02] <ogra> *latest | |
| [12:02] <digitalspaghetti> http://dpaste.com/48176/ | |
| [12:02] <digitalspaghetti> yes | |
| [12:02] <ogra> hmm, that looks like the volid package was corrupted during download or so | |
| [12:03] <digitalspaghetti> i've cleared out the package cache | |
| [12:03] <ogra> (the locale warnings are ok) | |
| [12:03] <ogra> well, the package cache only hodls the debs | |
| [12:03] <ogra> *holds | |
| [12:03] <digitalspaghetti> also, i had issues yesterday because my server is only 256mb, and i kept getting a seg fault when running it | |
| [12:04] <digitalspaghetti> i had my server upgraded to 1gb today to run the upgrade | |
| [12:04] <ogra> what you look for is the .list file for volumeid in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | |
| [12:04] <digitalspaghetti> ok | |
| [12:04] <ogra> hmm | |
| [12:05] <cody-somerville> If there is a website that has register globals enabled and there is a page that checks to see if "sql" is set in $_GET and if so doesn't set $sql but later executes $sql, what is the quantified risk acknowledging that there are no form inputs that pass sql via GET to this page? | |
| [12:05] <ogra> but such a package doesnt even exist | |
| [12:05] <digitalspaghetti> you want me to remove it? | |
| [12:05] <ogra> i wonder where it comes from first place | |
| [12:06] <ogra> apt-cache madison volumeid | |
| [12:06] <ogra> what does that give you ? | |
| [12:07] <digitalspaghetti> nothing | |
| [12:09] <ogra> weird | |
| [12:10] <ogra> do you get it as well if you try to remove evms-ncurses manually ? | |
| [12:11] <digitalspaghetti> yes :/ | |
| [12:12] <ogra> grep volumeid /var/lib/dpkg/info/evms-ncurses.list | |
| [12:12] <ogra> ? | |
| [12:12] <digitalspaghetti> nope, nothing - the file just contains some paths, thats it | |
| [12:14] <ogra> dpkg -l evms-ncurses ? | |
| [12:14] <ogra> grab the package with the right version from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/evms/ and manually install it with dpkg -i, then try again | |
| [12:14] <digitalspaghetti> http://dpaste.com/48177/ | |
| [12:15] <ogra> could it be that you ran out of diskspace or so during the upgrade ? that would explain the corruption | |
| [12:16] <digitalspaghetti> no, got unlimited diskspace | |
| [12:16] <digitalspaghetti> i downloaded the .deb for my system, still getting the error | |
| [12:17] <digitalspaghetti> http://dpaste.com/48178/ | |
| [12:18] <ogra> the thing is that there is never been a package like "volumeid" ever in ubuntu, i dont understand why it looks for it | |
| [12:19] <ogra> do you have any non ubuntu entries in your sources.list ? | |
| [12:30] <digitalspaghetti> i'll check | |
| [12:30] <digitalspaghetti> nope, just standard hh updates | |
| [12:34] <ogra> hmm, could be realted to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager-core/+bug/217574 | |
| [12:34] <digitalspaghetti> i just pointed my sources back to gutsy, and tried aptitude update && aptitude upgrade, and now i get the same error with a different package :/ | |
| [12:34] <uvirtbot> Launchpad bug 217574 in update-manager-core "Could not calculate the upgrade" [Undecided,New] | |
| [12:50] <digitalspaghetti> removing /var/lib/dpgk/info seemed to do it | |
| [13:11] <dmnd> hi | |
| [13:15] <dmnd> are there vserver kernel images for 64 bit cpu's available? | |
| [14:07] <dmnd> hi | |
| [14:58] <ctx144k> hello all | |
| [14:59] <ctx144k> is there a way to start own scripts while startup/shutdown in ubuntu-server? | |
| [14:59] <ctx144k> something like autoexec.bat under dos | |
| [14:59] <Kamping_Kaiser> crons @reboot option? | |
| [14:59] <Kamping_Kaiser> or create an init script | |
| [15:00] <ctx144k> is there existing a ready script for that? | |
| [15:00] <ctx144k> cause, i dont want create something what is already existing | |
| [15:00] <AlexC_> hey all | |
| [15:01] <Kamping_Kaiser> yes. .. crontab | |
| [15:02] <AlexC_> if I get something like this in my logs: 'su[28535]: Successful su for tangocms by root' that means that 'root' switched user to 'tangocms' correct? | |
| [15:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> and perhaps /etc/rc.local | |
| [15:06] <mralphabet> AlexC_: yes | |
| [15:07] <AlexC_> mralphabet, thanks | |
| [15:28] <ctx144k> Kamping_Kaiser, thx | |
| [15:29] <Kamping_Kaiser> ctx144k, np | |
| [16:14] <AlexC_> how can I get the disk-space usage via CLI? | |
| [16:23] <Nafallo> df -h | |
| [16:24] <AlexC_> thanks, | |
| [19:14] <osmosis> how do I get the uuid for a disk, for the fstab ? | |
| [19:18] <blue-frog> vol_id /dev/sda1 | |
| [19:40] <AlexC_> guys, I've got a really weird problem with 'tar'. I am running this as root: # tar -xzf php-5.2.6.tar.gz and I am getting an error similar to this for every single file in the archive: tar: php-5.2.6/CREDITS: Cannot change ownership to uid 1002, gid 1002: Disk quota exceeded | |
| [19:40] <AlexC_> why on earth is it trying to change the ownership to 1002? | |
| [19:41] <hattrick> why is your disk quota exceeded? | |
| [19:41] <hattrick> guys...is munin not working out of the box on ubuntu 8.04? | |
| [19:41] <AlexC_> hattrick, no, it is no where near. I am using 2.1gb out of 30gb | |
| [19:42] <hattrick> usermod -u 1002 | |
| [19:42] <hattrick> usermod: user 1002 does not exist | |
| [19:43] <AlexC_> ... | |
| [19:43] <hattrick> anyone using munin? | |
| [19:48] <blue-frog> AlexC_: what is quota saying? | |
| [19:49] <AlexC_> blue-frog, Disk quotas for user root (uid 0): none | |
| [19:49] <AlexC_> blue-frog, this is on a VPS, I have contacted them and they are looking into the issue. I just thought I'd ask here to see if I can help solve it | |
| [20:10] <Deeps> AlexC_: any quotas for uid 1002 and/or gid 1002? | |
| [20:10] <AlexC_> /dev/simfs 51200* 51200 51200 5619 0 0 | |
| [20:11] <Deeps> that'll be the problem then | |
| [20:11] <Kamping_Kaiser> anyone here used anonftpsync? i was wondering if you'd customised it to only mirror selected releases | |
| [20:15] <fromport> kamping_kaiser: i'm using anonsync. But it's all in the script itself, isn't it ? I'm basically mirroring only i386/amd64. | |
| [20:16] <Kamping_Kaiser> fromport, my problem is i only want to mirror dapper+hardy, but it seems i can only filter out arches, not releases | |
| [20:16] * Kamping_Kaiser is trying to think of the best way to hack around it | |
| [20:17] <Kamping_Kaiser> i think i have one, but it'll be ugly :) | |
| [20:18] <Kamping_Kaiser> fromport, i assume your mirroring all releases? | |
| [20:20] <AlexC_> hey, | |
| [20:20] <AlexC_> Deeps, sorry, lightning took out my router. Did you get my message? | |
| [20:20] <Deeps> nope | |
| [20:21] <AlexC_> Deeps, I said that is only half the problem - why is it trying to change ownership to 1002? | |
| [20:21] <Deeps> that'll be defined within the tar file | |
| [20:21] <Deeps> and being root, it's able to do that | |
| [20:22] <AlexC_> wait, what? The tar file can specify what ownerships the files should have, if it can do? | |
| [20:22] <Deeps> i believe so | |
| [20:23] <AlexC_> O_o | |
| [20:23] <Deeps> there'll be a flag (archive i guess) to preserve ownership and permission settings | |
| [20:23] <AlexC_> ah | |
| [20:27] <AlexC_> ok, that makes sense - going to work with that now | |
| [20:28] <fromport> kamping_kaiser: yes all releases: 125G /archive/pub/mirror/ubuntu/ | |
| [20:29] <Kamping_Kaiser> fromport, ok. thanks for that :) | |
| [20:37] <AlexC_> Deeps, thank you so much, this was the cause. Applying the --no-same-owner flag worked great on the tar command | |
| [20:37] <Deeps> :) | |
| [20:49] <_ruben> Kamping_Kaiser: dunno about anonftpsync, but debmirror can filter on arch/release/pool/etc | |
| [20:50] <Kamping_Kaiser> _ruben, thats what i've used so far, but i need all the extra dirs like /tools/ /doc/ etc for cd building | |
| [20:50] <_ruben> ah | |
| [20:51] <Kamping_Kaiser> so i'm going to try and leetly haxor (read: ugly hack) anonftpsync so it only downloads the releases i want | |
| [20:53] <_ruben> ;) | |
| [20:57] <Kamping_Kaiser> ;) | |
| [21:21] <AlexC_> where would be the best place to put PHP 5.2.6 in? /usr/local/php-cgi and /usr/local/php-cli ? | |
| [22:38] <mouser25> Hello, Im looking at setting up an e-mail server to replace microsoft exchange and was wondering what my options where on keeping personal address books synced to the server? | |
| [23:59] <carignou> hello | |
