[00:16] <tarvid> looking for ipac-ng; seems to have been last seen in dapper
[00:21] <JanC> Weasel[DK]: sorry, I have no idea, but often it happens because it's not maintained upstream anymore, or a better solution is available in another package, or such
[00:22] <tarvid> tnx
[00:23] <tarvid> any suggestions for ip accounting by ip address
[00:25] <JanC> no suggestions as in "this works for me", but from the description seems like net-acct should be able to do that  ;)
[00:26] <JanC> I'm sure there are other solutions too
[01:35] <lfaraone> How do I configure apache to return all requests for any URL as HTTP 503 (and some error page)?
[01:39] <JanC> lfaraone: I don't know about a ready-made solution, but should be easy to write a simple script that does that?
[01:40] <lfaraone> JanC: okay, how can I rewrite all requests to any page to a single php/python script?
[01:40] <erichammond> lfaraone: You can send all requests to the same file with a RewriteRule.
[01:40] <erichammond> To return a static file with headers like "Status: 503" check out the ".asis" file extension.
[01:41] <JanC> e.g. http://www.dotcomunderground.com/blogs/2006/08/31/return-503-status-with-apache-webserver/ has an example
[01:42] <JanC> or what erichammond says  ;)
[01:43] <JanC> you could use the same file content for that
[01:43] <erichammond> .asis can handle a more volume than a script which is especially useful if you are getting flooded.
[01:44] <JanC> most likely (a dedicated apache module could be even faster of course)
[01:44] <lfaraone> JanC, erichammond, thanks.
[01:45] <erichammond> Toss a RewriteCond before the RewriteRule and you can turn your maintenance page on with the simple creation of a file.
[03:44] <grim76> Gotta suck being these guys http://idle.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/09/16/1555252
[03:44] <grim76> crap wrong channel sorry
[03:49] <Tohuw> I'm managing IT for a small (> 25) person company. I just started a few weeks ago, and they have NO server or domain of any kind right now. I'm seriously considering Ubuntu Server, but I'm concerned about single-sign on, directory services, and group policy management. Any insights or shared experiences would be greatly welcome.
[04:15] <thiagocrepaldi> which tools is used on ubuntu docuemntation ? mediawiki ? (http://help.ubuntu.com)
[04:22] <VK7HSE> thiagocrepaldi: are you asking what type of wiki they use? if so I believe it is Moin Moin
[04:23] <thiagocrepaldi> VK7HSE, yes. i asn't even sure if it was a wiki
[04:23] <thiagocrepaldi> wasn't*
[04:23] <VK7HSE> ;)
[04:24] <thiagocrepaldi> i installed here, but i anted a "static website" look and feel to everybody else, tehn me
[05:06] <twb> ikiwiki is a compile-oriented wiki.
[05:07] <twb> You push changes to the wiki source repo, and as a post-hook ikiwiki runs which "compiles" statically rendered pages, which you can export with any old httpd.
[05:07] <twb> Of course, that would ACTUALLY be static, rather than "looking and feeling" static...
[08:51] <lbsjack_> who uses Eucalyptus under ubuntu 9.10 ?
[09:00] <erichammond> My PPA package build is going to start in 11 hours?! https://launchpad.net/~alestic/+archive/ppa/+build/1274306
[09:01] <erichammond> Seems like this project might be able to use a little EC2-ness for spike loads.
[09:10] <roxy09> hi there ...i just install kubuntu and i am getting "out of range" in my windows with a black screen. somebosy know how resolve it?
[11:05] <zzz2009> ? how the hell does one get postfix sasl to work?
[12:08] <NineTeen67Comet> This may not be the place, but I've installed mediatomb and can start/use it fine with cli input. How do I get it to start with boot? I added mediatomb to rc.local but it didn't seem to start up.
[12:09] <ivoks> how did you add it?
[12:09] <NineTeen67Comet> simply added the line /usr/bin/mediatomb (then to test just added mediatomb) .. above the exit 0 line ..
[12:09] <ivoks> then it should start
[12:10] <NineTeen67Comet> ivoks: I'll play with it a little more .. it'll restart with /etc/init.d/mediatomb restart .. but I don't see it running in top unless I start it myself with mediatomb ..
[12:10] <ivoks> does it need ip?
[12:11] <_ruben> no rc.local is needed, as it got a proper /etc/init.d/mediatomb
[12:11] <NineTeen67Comet> _ruben: that's what I was thinking ..
[12:12] <_ruben> sudo update-rc.d mediatomb defaults
[12:12] <NineTeen67Comet> Then I edited the /etc/mediatomb/.config.xml file to match the one in my home directory .. still nothing ..
[12:12] <ivoks> if you get ip by dhcp, and that service requires an IP to start, then think about it :)
[12:12] <NineTeen67Comet> _ruben: I'll try that ..
[12:13] <NineTeen67Comet> ivoks: all my boxes are static (17 all told in my house) ..
[12:13] <_ruben> mediatomb is kinda nice, if only my tv's dlna implementation wouldnt suck so much :(
[12:14] <NineTeen67Comet> _ruben: I always forget how to add stuff to rc .. says it's already exists ..
[12:14] <_ruben> might build me a ion based xbmc thingie
[12:14] <_ruben> NineTeen67Comet: then it should work already, does for me atleast :)
[12:14] <NineTeen67Comet> Yeah I've installed it mainly for my PS3 .. my mythbuntu boxes already work great (no TV so I use a lot of my own movies) ..
[12:15] <_ruben> might wanna check the logs to see why it fails
[12:15] <_ruben> could double check update-rc.d's work with: ls /etc/rc?.d/*mediatomb
[12:16] <NineTeen67Comet> yeah, it seems odd .. I can start it manually in cli by typing mediatomb but if I check it when it boots nothing ..
[12:16] <_ruben> also, does the screen show any attempts to start when booting up ?
[12:16] <NineTeen67Comet> Looks like it's trying to find it's html file in my home directory .. gotta change that back to the default directory ..
[12:18] <_ruben> encrypted homedirs as well? had that problem with sabnzb+, looking for config in my homedir, which couldnt get decrypted once i logged in :)
[12:18] <NineTeen67Comet> yeah, I'm creating a /home/mediatomb/.mediatomb directory now .. with all my default configs ..
[12:19] <_ruben> i dont recall mediatomb messing with files in homedirs, then again, been a while since i played with it
[12:19] <_ruben> gave up on it due to my crappy dlna implementation tv (samsung 32")
[12:20] <_ruben> no support for ffwd for instance
[12:20] <NineTeen67Comet> I started it initially as me as the user .. when I typed in mediatomb I didn't preface it with sudo or anything ..
[12:21] <NineTeen67Comet> _ruben: I hear your pain .. when I was trying s-video the resolution just sucked too bad to be useful ..
[12:21] <_ruben> here it runs as user mediatomb, by using the init script
[12:22] <NineTeen67Comet> yeah mediatomb .. that's why I created the /home/mediatomb directory with all the .mediatomb files from my directory rsynced in .. (along with changing the permissions to mediatomb:mediatomb and chmod 777 them just to be ultra done .. lol
[12:24] <_ruben> mediatomb's homedir is /var/lib/mediatomb, not /home/mediatomb though :)
[12:27] <NineTeen67Comet> _ruben: got it going .. just changed the file in /etc/meditomb/.config.xml to point to it's own directory instead of mine .. all's well that ends well ..
[12:27] <NineTeen67Comet> Now I gotta figure out how to hack my ADSL router (just moved into this place) so I can get my web sites back up .. sigh .. HATE VERIZON!
[12:28] <NineTeen67Comet> Thanks for the ideas _ruben .. off to bed ..
[12:28] <NineTeen67Comet> take care
[15:52] <alonswartz> Hey folks, regarding ubuntu-on-ec2, I noticed that linux-modules-VERSION-modules (ubuntu-on-ec2 ppa) has been upgraded since the canonical ami's (and so the aki/ari's) were released. Would the latest version still be compatible with the released AMI's (hardy LTS)?
[16:39] <AnirbanHazra> What is the latest release of Ubuntu 8.04 ?
[16:41] <andol> AnirbanHazra: There is a 8.04.3 point release
[16:42] <AnirbanHazra> andol: Thanks, and I hope its LTS ?
[16:56] <andol> AnirbanHazra: Actually 8.04.3 is still 8.04, and hence LTS. It's merely a new release/iso, saving you the trouble to download that many updates after install.
[17:04] <Ruadh> Hi. I am having problems downloading 6 updates on my ubuntu server.  I get the error message saying "... Could not resolve 'gb.archive.ubuntu.com'" Can anyone help?
[17:05] <clusty_> Ruadh, try a different mirror
[17:05] <Ruadh> clusty, how do i do that?
[17:06] <clusty_> Ruadh, did you install some GUI to your server or you kept it totally headless ?
[17:07] <Ruadh> a small GUI
[17:07] <clusty_> easiest is with synaptic
[17:07] <clusty_> it's a GUI to the package manager
[17:07] <Ruadh> ok
[17:08] <Ruadh> I'll have a look thanks
[17:08] <clusty_> you can chose software repositories
[17:08] <clusty_> and it also can check for fastest mirror for you
[17:09] <AnirbanHazra> andol: How long Ubuntu 8.04 LTS is supported ?
[17:09] <clusty_> i think it is 2 years maybe?
[17:10] <andol> AnirbanHazra: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#Releases%20and%20Version%20Numbers
[17:12] <clusty_> btw, how does one upgrade a server distro?
[17:12] <clusty_> i presume there is no update-manager -d equivalent?
[17:13] <clusty_> can i just replace the sources.list ?
[17:19] <Ruadh> clusty_, I tried synaptic bit it came up with the same error.
[17:19] <Ruadh> oop
[17:19] <clusty_> Ruadh, you changed your mirror?
[17:19] <clusty_> or tried the same?
[17:19] <Ruadh> how do i do that in synaptic?
[17:20] <clusty_> check settings
[17:20] <clusty_> you will havething called repositories
[17:20] <clusty_> or whatever
[17:21] <clusty_> and you can chose from a big list the mirror
[17:21] <clusty_> and then you can choose the repos you want
[17:41] <Ruadh_> clusty_, All done and dusted. Thanks
[17:41] <clusty_> goody
[17:42] <Ruadh_> :)
[17:59] <hanshenrik> for some reason... i got php.ini in /etc/php5/apache2  and /etc/php5/cli, umm... witch 1 does my apache2 install use?
[17:59] <AnirbanHazra> How anyone can seamlessly upgrade from Hardy Heron to Lucid Lynx when it is released on Apr 2010 ?
[18:03] <pmatulis> AnirbanHazra: the normal way, nothing special
[18:03] <AnirbanHazra> pmatulis: What is the "normal way" . I apologize for not having the idea .
[18:14] <pmatulis> AnirbanHazra: are you using GNOME?
[18:28] <AnirbanHazra> pmatulis: No, mine is a server edition , so only shell is there.
[18:31] <pmatulis> AnirbanHazra: then 'sudo do-release-upgrade -m server'
[19:16] <nicholas_> What is the best web-based apache statistics viewer?
[19:17] <_ruben> !best
[19:17] <nicholas_> :-)
[19:17] <nicholas_> What do YOU prefer?
[19:19] <_ruben> no preference at all, since i dont care about "web-based apache statistics viewers"
[19:23] <Jagged> webalyzer is what I normally use...
[19:27] <nicholas_> Thanks Jagged.
[19:52] <pmatulis> wasn't there something called awstats?
[20:02] <AnirbanHazra> how can I understand that whether I am running a desktop or server version of Ubuntu ?
[20:06] <dthacker> AnirbanHazra: ubuntu server does not have a graphic desktop environment installed by default.  Do you have one installed?
[20:06] <Mike_lifeguard> AnirbanHazra: you can also check what kernel you're using with uname -r
[20:09] <pmatulis> please note that there is no server kernel for i386 starting with karmic
[20:10] <AnirbanHazra> pmatulis: Mike_lifeguard: uname -r = 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.2
[20:11] <AnirbanHazra> what does it mean ?
[20:12] <_ruben> that's not an ubuntu kernel
[20:12] <_ruben> looks redhat'ish
[20:12] <_ruben> eg redhat, fedore, centos ..
[20:13] <AnirbanHazra> _ruben : But I am on Ubuntu !!
[20:14] <_ruben> what does lsb_release -d say ?
[20:14] <AnirbanHazra> _ruben: Description:	Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS
[20:14] <pmatulis> EC2?
[20:16] <AnirbanHazra> _ruben: Any idea ?? Is there anything wrong with that kernel ?
[20:16] <pmatulis> AnirbanHazra: using Amazon EC2 cloud computing?
[20:17] <_ruben> AnirbanHazra: its not a standard kernel as shipped by ubuntu
[20:17] <AnirbanHazra> pmatulis: I am on an OpenVZ VPS.
[20:17] <pmatulis> ok
[20:18] <pmatulis> they use something non-standard
[20:19] <_ruben> dpkg -l linux-generic linux-server 2>&1 | tail -2
[20:19] <AnirbanHazra> pmatulis: Googling up that kernel is throwing up : http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel/rhel5/028stab060.2
[20:20] <_ruben> told ya it looked redhat'ish :)
[20:21] <AnirbanHazra> _ruben: No clue , the VPS admins have installed it . Will I face any major problem due to that ?
[20:22] <pmatulis> AnirbanHazra: so your kernel = mainline + red hat stuff + openvz stuff
[20:22] <_ruben> AnirbanHazra: wouldnt know, i dont like "virtualization" products like openvz a single bit, though
[20:23] <AnirbanHazra> _ruben: But not everyone can't afford dedicated server in this world and shared hosting is also not for everybody !
[20:24] <_ruben> AnirbanHazra: true, doesnt make me like openvz though :)
[20:25] <pmatulis> AnirbanHazra: don't worry, a linux kernel cannot differ much from another linux kernel, just different options turned on/off to introduce certain features and maybe a few quirks to handle special hardware
[20:25] <AnirbanHazra> _ruben: Actually I am also a bit suspicious also because even on a clean OS installation Virtualmin installation script failed .
[20:26] <_ruben> virtualmin is based on webmin which isnt supported on ubuntu
[20:27] <AnirbanHazra> _ruben: !!!!?????
[20:28] <_ruben> !webmin
[20:29] <AnirbanHazra> !ebox
[20:33] <AnirbanHazra> thanks
[20:40] <AnirbanHazra> It seems that OpenVZ uses its own kernel for any distro while creating VPS. Don't know whether that will cause an issue or not ?
[21:59] <PleXuS> could this bug let hang my ubuntu server? -- > http://pastebin.com/d6924717b
[22:00] <PleXuS> it freeze when I had heavy network traffic
