[00:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> greenfly, you do need to control the users path to an extent too, so they cant diy $binname
[00:54] <Ahmuck> on the F4 option menu, what is a minimal virutal machine? exactly what it states?
[02:34] <hotmonkeyluv> how do I refresh my IP?
[02:34] <Kamping_Kaiser> meaning?
[02:34] <Kamping_Kaiser> your a client to a dhcp server?
[02:35] <hotmonkeyluv> well, I have 4 ethernet ports, and only one ethernet cable
[02:35] <hotmonkeyluv> and for some reason i can't connect to the internets
[02:36] <hotmonkeyluv> and when I run ifconfig -a, none of the devices have any IP addresses
[02:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> sure your cable is ok?
[02:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> dhclient is the command, fwiw
[02:37] <hotmonkeyluv> thanks, I'll check the cable, but i'm sure it's ok.
[02:38] <hotmonkeyluv> sweeeeeeeeet
[02:38] <hotmonkeyluv> thank you Kamping_Kaiser
[02:38] <hotmonkeyluv> the dhclient worked
[02:39] <Kamping_Kaiser> hotmonkeyluv, np. enjoy
[02:48] <hotmonkeyluv> dang it, now I can't install ssh-server
[02:49] <Kamping_Kaiser> because ...?
[02:49] <hotmonkeyluv> it says that openssh-server has no installation candidate
[02:49] <Kamping_Kaiser> try running apt-get update again
[02:50] <hotmonkeyluv> ok
[02:50] <hotmonkeyluv> nope

[03:19] <Ahmuck> any suggestions for a linux iso to "burn in" a new system?
[04:04] <Ahmuck> i just tested "virtual machine" option on ubuntu server in kubuntu 8.04 with virtual box 2.0.4.x and upon installation and then reboot, it errored out

[08:14] <kinection> what does "basic ubuntu server" consist of?
[08:18] <andol> kinection: tasksel --task-packages server
[08:25] <kinection> that only works if i already have it installed ;)
[09:07] <domas> bah, was running tar at 100MB/s from network stream
[09:07] <domas> and puff, kernel regression, suddenly started spending 100% of time in memcpy_c
[09:07] <domas> <3 linux
[09:08] <domas> http://p.defau.lt/?AHX3RRCU0uq_gDD069p9aA
[09:09] <domas> seems like tar is braindead when it comes to memory management %)

[15:45] <Frozen-Solid> I'm trying to setup multiple IPs on my ubuntu server edition 8.04 box. I have them setup in the /etc/network/interfaces file, but when i restart networking it tells me "SIOCADDRT: No such process" and then fails to bring up the aliases
[15:48] <Frozen-Solid> the aliases are setup as "auto eth0:0" through eth0:6, each has an address, netmask, and gateway set, and should be set with the right options. the default interface seems to work fine
[16:15] <Frozen-S1lid> crisis averted: apparently our pix sucks and didn't refresh it's mac to ip database when we switched servers
[16:15] <Frozen-S1lid> thanks anyways though!
[17:00] <tonyyarusso> I didn't even know you could do that...
[17:03] <Deeps> messy way of doing it
[17:03] <Deeps> better off using ip addr add
[17:04] <Deeps> and adding multiple ips to a single interface, instead of creating a tonne of virtual interfaces
[17:17] <tonyyarusso> Deeps: Seriously? "ip addr add"? That's the same syntax as Cisco IOS.
[17:18] <J-_> What directories should I backup on my LAMP server? /var/www for sure, anything else? I know I have to do a mysql dump as well.
[17:31] <tonyyarusso> J-_: /etc.
[17:33] <tonyyarusso> J-_: /home (even if it's not _really_ being used, I usually have some random thing in there.), /opt if you use it
[17:33] <J-_> cool, yeah I don't really use /home, or /opt
[17:34] <tonyyarusso> J-_: /var/log, /var/mail
[17:35] <tonyyarusso> J-_: I also like to do /boot, for when you screw up your initrd or whatever.
[17:35] <tonyyarusso> I think that pretty well covers it.
[17:35] <tonyyarusso> And with that, I need to go to work.

[17:58] <Yippee_> Is it necessary to set up web server with ssl if you want mail on the Web. Mail server is configured with ssl. And should mail server ssl certificate approved?
[17:59] <freaky_t> is there any tool to upgrade the server-edition to intrepid (from hardy)?
[18:01] <freaky_t> or do i just need to edit the entries in sources.list ?
[18:27] <arooni> perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
[18:27] <arooni> LANGUAGE = (unset),
[18:27] <arooni> LC_ALL = (unset),
[18:27] <arooni> LANG = "en_CA.UTF-8"
[18:27] <arooni> are supported and installed on your system.
[18:27] <arooni> how would i fix that on ubuntu hardy server?
[18:34] <freaky_t> can i allready safely upgrade to intrepid?

[19:44] <arooni> how would i fix an unset locales issue on ubuntu hardy server?
[21:42] <arooni> nevermind got it working :P (had to restart apache)
[21:46] <nvti> hooray
[21:47] <arooni> i got postfix installed; and also got postfixadmin installed.... what else must i do to be able to send emails?
[23:23] <tonyyarusso> arooni: Configure it.
[23:24] <arooni> thanks tonyyarusso how would i dot hat?

[23:35] <tonyyarusso> arooni: Most of it is done in /etc/postfix/main.cf, but for details you'll have to read some documentation. YOu'll find a fair amount in the Ubuntu Server guide, or if you prefer print pick up "The Book Of Postfix".
[23:37] * ScottK mumbles "or hire a consultant to read it for you".
[23:38] <tonyyarusso> arooni: Once you've done a bit of that and have some background to work with, specific problems you still have can probably be dealt with better in #postfix (a bit more active than here).
[23:39] <tonyyarusso> ScottK: Thanks for your reply about mail components btw - super helpful.
[23:42] <ScottK> tonyyarusso: You're welcome.
[23:59] <jdub> zul: got back to you re: php tzdata in hardon
[23:59] <jdub> zul: sorry, hadn't noticed the bug got love :)
