| [05:23] <mactimes> Hi. I've just installed Ubuntu Server in a VM, using RAID1 for all partitions, to test it's behavior in case of a disk failure. I went through the same steps to install a debian server. Debian could still boot after removing one of the disks, but Ubuntu isn't. Could someone, please, help me out? | |
| [05:52] <nijaba> mactimes: could you check if your problem is similar to https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/125471 and eventually add your configuration and comment about debian on it? | |
| [05:52] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 125471 in mdadm "Booting from a degraded array could be improved" [Medium,Confirmed] | |
| [05:53] <mactimes> nijaba: This is the problem. | |
| [05:53] <mactimes> nijaba: Exactly the same | |
| [05:54] <mactimes> nijaba: I was afraid I was doing something wrong, but I reinstalled both systems 3 times each, just to make sure. | |
| [05:55] <mactimes> nijaba: Debian won't fail, but Ubuntu will give me busy box shell. | |
| [05:55] <nijaba> Could you add a comment to it, please, mentioning your experience with debian? | |
| [05:55] <osmosis> if KVM is what is officially supported by Ubuntu now, how come no one has updated the doc?! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | |
| [05:55] <nijaba> osmosis: the doc in progress is published on doc.ubuntu.com | |
| [05:56] <nijaba> osmosis: it will be moved to help.ubuntu.com at release time | |
| [05:56] <nijaba> osmosis: you will see that we have somehow done our homework | |
| [05:56] <osmosis> oh.. well.. good to hear then. cheers. | |
| [05:57] <mactimes> nijaba: Sure, I can. But I don't see the point. I've been talking to people at #debian a few days ago and, as per information provided by them, Ubuntu packages come from Debian unstable. Would there be a downgrade? | |
| [06:00] <nijaba> mactimes: that is not completely true, and initramfs boot is one of the big differences | |
| [06:01] <mactimes> nijaba: Hum. Ok. I'll add a comment there, but I guess people will start pursuing me for the comment... | |
| [06:02] <nijaba> mactimes: nobody will force you to reply and you can unsubscribe from the bug at any time | |
| [06:02] <mactimes> nijaba: Right. | |
| [06:02] <nijaba> mactimes: thanks for your help | |
| [06:03] <mactimes> nijaba: I'm writing the comment now. | |
| [06:04] <nijaba> thanks a lot mactimes | |
| [06:05] <mactimes> nijaba: I'll let you know when I'm done. | |

| [11:06] <MatBoy> hi guys ! | |
| [11:07] <MatBoy> is tehre a good tut to upgrade a debian etch box to a ubuntu-server box remotely ? | |
| [11:07] <MatBoy> *there | |
| [11:08] <henkjan> MatBoy: don't even try | |
| [11:09] <henkjan> MatBoy: do a fresh install | |
| [11:09] <henkjan> MatBoy: upgrading from debian to ubuntu is a pain | |
| [11:11] <MatBoy> henkjan, I thought the same actually, but it seems that people have done it | |
| [11:27] <ICU> That people have done it doesn't make it any better :) | |
| [11:53] <_ruben> MatBoy: remote upgrade: far from recommended, remote reinstall: possible depending on configuration :) | |
| [11:54] <MatBoy> _ruben, shut up :P no but why not ? I can try it remote, and after it I still can go to the DC :D | |
| [11:55] <MatBoy> _ruben, are you anywhere ? | |
| [11:56] * _ruben is here | |
| [11:56] <MatBoy> _ruben, where ? | |
| [11:56] <_ruben> MatBoy: why not upgrade? dependency hell awaits you | |
| [11:56] * _ruben points | |
| [11:57] <MatBoy> _ruben, if I need to reinstall it, I don't mind | |
| [11:57] <MatBoy> better try it than never did it... same as with... youy know :d | |
| [11:58] <_ruben> i wouldnt bother trying to upgrade .. i would give it a try using some debootstrap magic .. if you have a spare (temp root) partition available, and ideally a seperate /boot, then odds are looking good | |
| [11:59] <MatBoy> yeah I better see a reinstall too, much faster... but I don't want to go to the DC really | |
| [12:00] <_ruben> there's howto's available on how to install debian/ubuntu using debootstrap from any os for which debootstrap is avail | |
| [12:01] <_ruben> https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/hppa/linux-upgrade.html .. first hit in google ;) | |
| [12:01] <MatBoy> _ruben, reinstall is easier ;) | |
| [12:05] <_ruben> sure, but if you dont want to go to the DC than this'd be the way to go :) | |
| [12:11] <henkjan> dist-upgrade from debian sarge to ubuntu dapper failed for me | |
| [12:11] <henkjan> did it once in an vm | |
| [13:55] <Folke> Hi, any thoughts about how to continue with a bugged out test install of hardy on dl360g4p? | |
| === blue-frog_ is now known as blue-frog | |
| [13:56] <Folke> Do I fill out a bug or what do I do next? | |
| [13:58] <mok0> Folke: did you start from a CD? | |
| [13:59] <mok0> Folke: what's bugged about it? | |
| [14:00] <Folke> mok0: Yes, it hanged on me on 2 different occasions. Both on the last thing "restarting now". | |
| [14:01] <mok0> Folke: hmm, that has happened to me once... trying to remember what was wrong... | |
| [14:02] <Folke> mok0: Then I did a cold reboot and the system started as it should. But when installting I hade some strange things. On the other tty's the text was borked up really good. Alot of @ and strange signs? | |
| [14:02] <mok0> Folke: Is there enough space on the hard drive for the install? | |
| [14:02] <Folke> Yes, It is a HP dl360g4p with 32G hwraid 1. | |
| [14:02] <mok0> Folke: what's a dl360g4p? | |
| [14:03] <Folke> Yes | |
| [14:03] <mok0> Ah | |
| [14:03] <Folke> Is there something problematic with them and hardy? | |
| [14:03] <mok0> Folke: you can't have the boot partition on a raid AFAIK | |
| [14:04] <Folke> mok0: But it is an ordinary hw raid. So that it presented to the system as /dev/ccsis01. So the raid is transparent for the system? | |
| [14:05] <Folke> I will report it in the wiki, I did a test after the template in the serverteam pages. | |
| [14:05] <mok0> Folke: we have an HP G5, but I didn't install it... | |
| [14:05] <Folke> 380 g5? | |
| [14:06] <mok0> Folke: In our machine, both / and /boot are on a /dev/cciss/ device | |
| [14:06] <Folke> I planned to test on a dl380g4 and perhaps on a dl580g(?) next week. | |
| [14:06] <mok0> Folke: yes, that's the newest of HP's blades | |
| [14:06] <Folke> Ah. | |
| [14:06] <mok0> Folke: Can't remember the actual model no | |
| [14:07] <mok0> Folke: Oh, it's something with 580 too | |
| [14:07] <Folke> mok0: We have no blades here :( Too sad, I want to play with one :) | |
| [14:07] <mok0> Folke: or 380? | |
| [14:07] <mok0> Folke: What version are you trying to install? | |
| [14:08] <Folke> mok0: Just betatesting hardy. Not for production. Tried to help the serverteam with some testing on different hw. | |
| [14:09] <mok0> Folke: ah, ok. I think you should fill out a bug report at Launchpad rather than the wiki | |
| [14:09] <mok0> Folke: The good news is that it _should_ work, but hardy is in a pretty bad shape these days... (IMHO) | |
| [14:10] <mok0> Folke: It's been rock-solid for months, but I have gotten problems this last week | |
| [14:10] <Folke> mok0: When it entered beta? | |
| [14:11] <mok0> Folke: I am not sure... but there's been around 4 kernel rebuilds during the last week | |
| [14:11] <Folke> mok0: Auch. that's really what you not want when it goes stable :) | |
| [14:11] <mok0> Folke: ... and I guess it takes a while for all the drivers to catch up | |
| [14:12] <mok0> Folke: No! | |
| [14:12] <mok0> ... fortunately there | |
| [14:12] <mok0> is still a couple of weeks :-) | |
| [14:12] <Folke> mok0: Yes :) | |
| [14:13] <Folke> mok0: I cant seem to enter bugs at launchpad? Or am I looking at the wrong place? "https://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server/" | |
| [14:14] <mok0> Folke: Yes, you need to start at the main page, then choose project "Ubuntu", then file a bug which is aimed at Ubuntu (and not a particular package) | |
| [14:14] <Folke> mok0: Ah, thanks! | |
| [14:15] <mok0> Folke: when you've done with the bug, you can subscribe the ubuntu-server team, then the bug will appear on their task list | |
| [14:17] <Folke> mok0: I am subscribing to the newslist. And asked for participation on the serverteam at launchpad. Is that the right way to go? | |
| [14:17] <mok0> Folke, no | |
| [14:18] <Folke> ack. I will never do right :D | |
| [14:18] <mok0> Folke: what is the number of your new bug? | |
| [14:18] <Folke> I filling out now. | |

| [14:27] <Folke> ah, k.. I understand. | |
| [14:27] <mok0> Folke: In the pink area under "Actions" find "Subscribe someone else" | |
| [14:27] <Folke> mok0: aye | |
| [14:28] <Folke> Shall I add ubuntu-server? | |
| [14:28] <mok0> Folke: That seems reasonable | |
| [14:28] <Folke> mok0: :) | |
| [14:29] <mok0> Folke: if you click on the link "Ubuntu Server Team" you can now see that your bug has appeared on their list | |
| [14:30] <Folke> mok0: Ah, then I understand how to assign bugs. | |
| [14:31] <mok0> Folke: ... and if you go to your own LP page, it is listed on your Bugs tab | |
| [14:31] <mok0> Folke: actually, it | |
| [14:31] <mok0> it's pretty nifty, but you gotta know who to subscribe :-) | |
| [14:32] <mok0> Folke: otherwise your bug gets lost among the 215685 others :-) | |
| [14:33] <Folke> mok0: Now when vmware has certified ubuntu on their esx'es I thought that I could try to give something back to the community.. So I started to test hardy on some hw that we have here.. Then I guess that JeOS is the thing that seems most interesting to us :) | |
| [14:33] <mok0> Folke: exactly | |
| [14:34] <mok0> Folke: we are actually running several servers on JeOS guest machines using kvm | |
| [14:34] <Folke> mok0: Ah, how does it do compared to "vanilla" server= | |
| [14:34] <Folke> ? | |
| [14:35] <mok0> Folke: you mean in terms of efficiency? | |
| [14:35] <_ruben> minimal install (just enough, hence the name) and special kernel (-virtual flavour) | |
| [14:35] <MagicFab> Folke, if you try JeOS beta today, be aware there is a bug in GRUB, although it's being fixed there is a workaround: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-jeos/+bug/215618 | |
| [14:35] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 215618 in ubuntu-jeos "Grub installation fails on JeOS Hardy on KVM Hardy" [Undecided,Confirmed] | |
| [14:36] <mok0> Folke: It's a littlebit slower than running straight on the host. There is a bit of overhead in the internet bridge | |
| [14:36] <mok0> Folke: but it's super stable | |
| [14:37] <Folke> mok0: That sounds great! Thats what is needed. Stability is a sysadmins best dream :) | |
| [14:37] <_ruben> hmm .. reminds me, lets upgrade my hardy jeos test install :p | |
| [14:38] <Folke> _ruben: Are there alot of kernel switches that are different from vanilla? | |
| [14:39] <_ruben> Folke: dont think im the right person to ask that, am just another user, hardly playing with hardy yet | |
| [14:40] <Folke> Except from stripped and special kernel I guess JeOS is binary compatible with vanilla repo tree? | |
| [14:41] <_ruben> the repo's are identical .. just the base install differs between desktop/server/jeos | |
| [14:41] <lilsyko> guys | |
| [14:41] <lilsyko> i have an ubuntu 6.06LTS server | |
| [14:41] <lilsyko> i wanna upgrade it ver 7.10 | |
| [14:41] <lilsyko> how do i go about performing the upgrade? | |
| [14:42] <_ruben> lilsyko: step by step .. 6.06 -> 6.10 -> 7.04 -> 7.10 | |
| [14:42] <Folke> lilsyko: Is it a critical production server? | |
| [14:42] <_ruben> once hardy is final you'll be able to go 6.06 -> 8.04 | |
| [14:42] <lilsyko> mail relay server | |
| [14:42] <lilsyko> quite critical | |
| [14:42] <lilsyko> but now in my country is 9.42pm | |
| [14:42] <_ruben> for 6.06 -> 7.10 reinstall is usually safer and faster | |
| [14:42] <lilsyko> go its a good time for an upgrade | |
| [14:43] <Folke> lilsyko: Ah, then perhaps wait to the next LTS? | |
| [14:44] <lilsyko> hmm | |
| [14:44] <lilsyko> maybe i'll do step by step | |
| [14:44] <lilsyko> as _ruben suggested | |
| [14:45] <_ruben> lilsyko: be ready for troubles tho, it *might* go cleanly, but dont assume so | |
| [14:45] <lilsyko> hmmm | |
| [14:45] <_ruben> 8.04 should be out by the end of the month .. so if you can wait, then do so ;) | |
| [14:45] <lilsyko> i mean 6.06 to 8.04 | |
| [14:45] <lilsyko> is such a big ver jump | |
| [14:45] <lilsyko> wont it cause more issues? | |
| [14:45] <_ruben> but it *is* supported | |
| [14:46] <_ruben> 8.04 is also LTS | |
| [14:46] <_ruben> LTS -> LTS will be supported .. for non-LTS versions you have to go step by step | |
| [14:46] <lilsyko> ok | |
| [14:48] <mok0> _ruben: "end of the month"... does that mean that the advertised release day of April 24th has been postponed? | |
| [14:49] <lilsyko> weird | |
| [14:49] <lilsyko> i tried 'sudo do-release-upgrade --devel-release' pn my 6.06LTS server but it says | |
| [14:49] <lilsyko> No new release found | |
| [14:50] <_ruben> mok0: 24th is close enough to the end of the month for me to call it "end of month" .. didnt know the exact date by head ;) | |
| [14:50] <zul> lilsyko: did you follow the instructions in the release notes on the wiki for the beta? | |
| [14:50] <mok0> _ruben: ah ;-) | |
| [14:51] <lilsyko> yeah | |
| [14:51] <_ruben> 24th does sound awfully close though :/ | |
| [14:51] <lilsyko> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades | |
| [14:51] <_ruben> with the current ammount of "problems" that is | |
| [14:55] <lilsyko> so any idea guys? | |
| [14:55] <_ruben> lilsyko: we already gave several | |
| [14:56] <lilsyko> i mean | |
| [14:56] <_ruben> and i doubt you want to upgrade a production server to hardy beta now | |
| [14:56] <Deeps> lilsyko: the page you linked suggests that the command you typed was for 7.10->8.04, rather than 6.06->8.04 | |
| [14:56] <lilsyko> why isnt it showing the beta stuff? :P | |
| [14:56] <Deeps> lilsyko: see the section Upgrade from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS | |
| [14:57] <lilsyko> thats for desktop | |
| [14:57] <lilsyko> i was reading the part that says | |
| [14:57] <lilsyko> Network upgrade for Ubuntu servers (recommended) | |
| [14:57] <Deeps> ah i see | |
| [14:58] <Folke> Do anyone know why there is LILO instead of GRUB in jeos? | |
| [14:58] <_ruben> Folke: you sure? | |
| [14:58] * _ruben checks | |
| [14:58] <Folke> I looked at the bug 215618 | |

| [14:59] <Folke> _ruben: Oh, nice.. I thought that it was general in jeos.. sry | |
| [15:00] <_ruben> ah | |
| [15:06] <lilsyko> damn | |
| [15:06] <lilsyko> i tired the instructions as per the website | |
| [15:06] <lilsyko> but still no go | |
| [15:13] <lilsyko> _ruben | |
| [15:13] <lilsyko> wanna ask you | |
| [15:13] <lilsyko> it says to | |
| [15:13] <lilsyko> # | |
| [15:13] <lilsyko> enable the "dapper-proposed" repository | |
| [15:13] <lilsyko> so i enable it like this | |

| [15:13] <lilsyko> enable the "dapper-proposed" repository | |
| [15:14] <lilsyko> deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-proposed main restricted | |
| [15:14] <lilsyko> is it correct? | |
| [15:14] <_ruben> guess so | |
| [15:14] <_ruben> looks ok atleast | |
| [15:15] <lilsyko> hmm | |
| [15:17] <lilsyko> maybe need to include universe n multiverse also ? | |
| [15:18] <_ruben> doubt that, i'd expect the upgrade tools to be in main | |
| [15:20] <lilsyko> the weird this is u cant seem to install update-manager-core | |
| [15:22] <_ruben> i think i have a virtual 6.06 install somewhere, forgot on which server tho :/ | |
| [15:22] <lilsyko> this is my sources.list file | |
| [15:22] <lilsyko> http://pastebin.com/d3343aa76 | |
| [15:22] <lilsyko> is there an error somewhere? | |
| [15:23] <_ruben> looks ok at first sight, sudo apt-get update doesnt show anything odd ? | |
| [15:23] <lilsyko> nope | |
| [15:24] <_ruben> then the sources.list should be ok | |
| [15:26] <_ruben> hmm ..packages.ubuntu.com seems to be down | |
| [15:27] <_ruben> when browsing the dapper-proposed files i dont see any update related stuff either.. wouldnt know where to go from there | |
| [15:28] <peterdv> lilsyko: as Folke pointed out 8.04 is currently in beta test. It has not been released yet. It is not advisable to install the current version on a production server. As _ruben pointed out, you will have troubles. | |
| [15:28] <Deeps> heh | |
| [15:28] <_ruben> wtf .. im seeing unicode stuff or smth | |
| [15:28] <Deeps> yeah me too | |
| [15:28] <Deeps> lots of \ufeff | |
| [15:29] <_ruben> hmm .. irssi on linux shows em fine, irssi on windows doesnt | |
| [15:29] <Deeps> irssi on freebsd doesn't like it | |
| [15:29] <_ruben> gotta love irssi's proxy | |
| [15:29] <_ruben> guess the windows version isnt too keen on unicode ..lets check settings | |
| [15:30] <_ruben> or perhaps its the irssi proxy that messes things up .. oh well | |
| [15:32] <henkjan> _ruben: you are using irssi on windows? or just ssh with putty to an linux machine running irssi? | |
| [15:33] <_ruben> henkjan: irssi on windows connecting to an irssi on ubuntu | |
| [15:33] <_ruben> nasty setup, i know :) | |
| [15:33] <henkjan> :) | |
| [15:33] <_ruben> linux one's running in a screen with irssi proxy enabled | |
| [15:35] <lilsyko> yeah i think i'm gonna abandon the project of goin for 8.04 | |
| [15:35] <lilsyko> maybe i'll stick with 7.10 | |
| [15:36] <peterdv> lilsyko: ... or just wait untill the release planned at the end of the month. | |

| [16:32] * delcoyote hi | |
| [16:44] <lilsyko> guys | |
| [16:44] <lilsyko> will JeOS work on a physical system ? | |
| [16:44] <lilsyko> instead of a VMWARE server? | |
| [16:45] <zul> I dont think so but I have never tried it | |
| [16:45] <nijaba> lilsyko: no it will not | |
| [16:45] <lilsyko> hmmm k | |
| [16:46] <lilsyko> just tot it may work | |
| [16:46] <nijaba> lilsyko: it is meant to work only with vmware server, ESX (and KVM in 8.04) | |
| [16:46] <nijaba> lilsyko: we have stripped the kernel clean of all unecessary drivers, so it should not | |
| [16:47] <lilsyko> but JeOS is quite slow to install in a vmware session. | |
| [16:47] <nijaba> lilsyko: you can do a minimal iso install instead | |
| [16:47] <lilsyko> i'm installing 1 right now | |
| [16:47] <lilsyko> but it stoped at the screen 'select and install software' | |
| [16:47] <nijaba> lilsyko: try ubuntu-vm-builder on 8.04. | |
| [16:47] <lilsyko> 90% | |
| [16:48] <nijaba> lilsyko: the mini iso is stuck? | |
| [16:48] <nijaba> lilsyko: which version? | |
| [16:48] <lilsyko> JeOS | |
| [16:48] <lilsyko> jeos-8.04-beta-jeos-i386.iso | |
| [16:49] <nijaba> lilsyko: on real hw? surprised you got so far | |
| [16:49] <lilsyko> nope | |
| [16:49] <lilsyko> on VMware server 1.0.4 on gOS | |
| [16:49] <nijaba> lilsyko: plus there is a (transitinal) problem today with the repositories for hardy, so installs will fail anyway | |
| [16:50] <lilsyko> damn | |
| [16:50] <lilsyko> looks like i have to download a new iso | |
| [16:50] <lilsyko> but i didnt download the beta iso | |
| [16:51] <lilsyko> sorry | |
| [16:51] <lilsyko> i didnt download the daily iso, i downloaded the beta iso | |
| [16:51] <nijaba> lilsyko: the issue is not with the iso, but with the repository | |
| [16:51] <lilsyko> ok | |
| [16:51] <nijaba> lilsyko: so keep your iso and wait til tomorrow | |
| [16:51] <nijaba> lilsyko: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215618 | |
| [16:51] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 215618 in ubuntu-jeos "Grub installation fails on JeOS Hardy on KVM Hardy" [Undecided,Fix released] | |
| [16:52] <lilsyko> hmmm so | |
| [16:52] <lilsyko> JeOS downloads the packages from the repo as it installs? | |
| [16:52] <lilsyko> intresting | |
| [16:54] <nijaba> lilsyko: no, it updates them | |
| [16:55] <nijaba> lilsyko: the ones that needs to, that is | |
| [16:55] <lilsyko> ok | |
| [16:55] <lilsyko> i mean can i do an offline intallation ? | |
| [16:56] <nijaba> lilsyko: the objective is to provide the user with a secure system at first boot, but yes, an offline install should work today | |
| [16:56] <lilsyko> ok | |
| [16:56] <lilsyko> is the kernel compiled specifically for vmware? | |
| [16:57] <lilsyko> is vmware-tools installed into jeos by default? | |
| [16:57] <nijaba> lilsyko: yes (and kvm), it is named -virtual for that reason | |
| [16:57] <nijaba> lilsyko: no, because there is one version of vm-tools per vmware type (and version) | |
| [16:57] <nijaba> and we don't need it for kvm | |
| [16:57] <lilsyko> ok | |
| [16:59] <nijaba> lilsyko: there is an open-vm-tools version in the hardy repo, but it is not supported officially by vm-ware and does not provide all functionalities yet | |
| [16:59] <lilsyko> k | |
| [16:59] <lilsyko> i wanna transission frm gentoo to JeOS | |
| [16:59] <lilsyko> thats why i'm intrested to get it working on vmware | |
| [17:00] <nijaba> lilsyko: sure, sounds like a good plan | |
| [17:01] <MatthewMetzger> Hello | |
| [17:02] <MatthewMetzger> I'm using Hardy server and I'm having a problem with RAM being cached and not released. I ran the same services on a slower machine with Dapper LTS and did not experience this problem. I can give more specifics about services running and hardware, if anyone is interested. | |
| [17:05] <nijaba> MatthewMetzger: do you have steps to reproduce your issue, or does it involve some sensitive code/data? | |
| [17:06] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: hi, i'd like to hear more about your issue | |
| [17:06] <MatthewMetzger> nijaba: no sensitive code or data. I'm running all services off of packages installed from ubuntu's repositories. | |
| [17:06] <MatthewMetzger> The only change in services is that I'm now running webdav extension of apache. | |
| [17:06] <MatthewMetzger> I'm running squid and squidGuard, which are known to have memory issues | |
| [17:07] * nijaba letting kirkland dive into this | |
| [17:07] <MatthewMetzger> but I didn't have memory issues on Dapper LTS | |
| [17:07] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: i386? amd64? same on both? | |
| [17:08] <mathiaz> MatthewMetzger: how do you know that RAM is cached and not released ? | |
| [17:08] <MatthewMetzger> i386 (Mac mini Intel hardware) | |
| [17:08] <MatthewMetzger> mathiaz: I'm watching it with "free -m" | |
| [17:09] <MatthewMetzger> I also run "ps aux" and see that very little is actually actively being used by applications. | |
| [17:09] <lilsyko> yay~ i managed to upgrade my 6.06LTS to 8.04beta | |
| [17:09] <lilsyko> with no issues so far | |
| [17:09] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: how much total memory? | |
| [17:09] <MatthewMetzger> 1 GB | |
| [17:10] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: can you paste the output of "free" ? | |
| [17:10] <MatthewMetzger> sure | |
| [17:11] <MatthewMetzger> total used free shared buffers cached | |
| [17:11] <MatthewMetzger> Mem: 979 951 28 0 81 789 | |
| [17:11] <MatthewMetzger> -/+ buffers/cache: 80 899 | |
| [17:11] <MatthewMetzger> Swap: 2870 25 2845 | |
| [17:11] <Deeps> lilsyko: other than all the issues you had trying to do the upgrade? what was the problem in the end? | |
| [17:11] <MatthewMetzger> I have run "sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" to clear the caches (I know it is not recommended) | |
| [17:12] <lilsyko> only had a few issues before the upgrade | |
| [17:12] <lilsyko> it could locate the upgrade | |
| [17:12] <lilsyko> so what i did was removed update-manager-core | |
| [17:13] <lilsyko> del /var/lib/update-manager | |
| [17:13] <lilsyko> enable update-proposed in sources.list | |
| [17:13] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: you wouldn't happen to have a similar dump of "free" from dapper, huh? | |
| [17:13] <MatthewMetzger> After restarting the machine or clearing the RAM cache, free shows that the cache slowly builds up after a period of 8 hours or so. | |
| [17:14] <lilsyko> enable also multiverse & universe for dapper-proposed | |
| [17:14] <MatthewMetzger> kirkland: not with the same services. no. | |
| [17:14] <Deeps> heh, quite a few steps then | |
| [17:14] <lilsyko> then reinstall update-manager-core | |
| [17:14] <lilsyko> then off you go | |
| [17:14] <Deeps> hehe | |
| [17:14] <Deeps> i wont be upgrading my 6.06lts then | |
| [17:14] <Deeps> although it should be out of commission by that time | |
| [17:15] <Deeps> by the time 6.06 is no longer supported, that is | |
| [17:15] <MatthewMetzger> Deeps: I had to use Hardy instead of Dapper LTS because I was moving to Mac mini hardware | |
| [17:15] <Deeps> MatthewMetzger: um, ok? | |
| [17:15] <MatthewMetzger> sorry, crossed conversations, maybe :) | |
| [17:16] <Deeps> i think so! | |
| [17:16] <Deeps> :) | |
| [17:17] <MatthewMetzger> I think my problem may be related to squid, but I'm not sure how to isolate it to make sure. | |
| [17:17] <MatthewMetzger> And, like I said, it ran fine with the same configuration on Dapper | |
| [17:18] <MatthewMetzger> I suppose I could set up another machine with Hardy, set up squid with the same configuration and see if it has the same memory issues. That would be a lot of work, though. | |
| [17:18] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: can you just turn off squid? | |
| [17:18] <lilsyko> hmmm so far my hardy is good | |
| [17:18] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: /etc/init.d/squid stop | |
| [17:18] <lilsyko> will test it out a while and let u guys know k | |
| [17:18] <lilsyko> btw this is a heavyly used production email relay server | |
| [17:18] <MatthewMetzger> kirkland: I can turn it off for testing, of course, but it is a necessary service. | |
| [17:19] <lilsyko> relaying about 1000+ mails a day | |
| [17:19] <lilsyko> :P | |
| [17:19] <nijaba> lilsyko: postfix, no dovecot? | |
| [17:19] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: sure, i just meant to isolate it | |
| [17:19] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: perhaps turn it off for one boot, reboot | |
| [17:19] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: give it a fixed amount of time | |
| [17:19] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: 10 minutes? 30 minutes? 60 Minutes? | |
| [17:20] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: do the same with a fresh boot with/without squid | |
| [17:20] <MatthewMetzger> I can't turn it off right now as people are actively using the proxy as we speak, but I can test it over the weekend perhaps. I can maybe do it this evening. | |
| [17:20] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: measure "free" at regular intervalas | |
| [17:20] <kirkland> intervals | |
| [17:20] <MatthewMetzger> Thanks kirkland | |
| [17:20] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: one more question.... | |
| [17:21] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: is the high cache usage causing noticeable performance problems, or are you just a memory tuning "nut"? :-) | |
| [17:21] <lilsyko> postfix only | |
| [17:21] <nijaba> lilsyko: thanks | |
| [17:21] <MatthewMetzger> kirkland: :) It's causing problems. Squid stopped on its own because it ran out of memory. I had to restart it. Then later, the whole machine became unresponsive and had to be rebooted. | |
| [17:22] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: arg, that is bad | |
| [17:22] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: how much disk cache have you given Squid? | |
| [17:22] <MatthewMetzger> Very different performance than from Dapper. | |
| [17:23] <MatthewMetzger> very little, as I'm mainly using squidGuard as a proxy filter and don't really care about the cache. I think it is actually only 1 MB. | |
| [17:23] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: i'm going to install Hardy and Dapper + squid in a pair of VM's right now | |
| [17:24] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: will you be around a bit, such that I can duplicate your configuration reasonably? | |
| [17:24] <MatthewMetzger> kirkland: I have to do lunch and will be gone for an hour or so after. I can hover on the channel a bit later today. | |
| [17:24] <MatthewMetzger> by the way: cache_mem 1 MB | |
| [17:25] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: in any case, could you open a bug in Launchpad against squid? | |
| [17:25] <MatthewMetzger> from the squid.conf | |
| [17:25] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: subscribe me to it (kirkland@canonical.com) | |
| [17:25] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: and we can communicate that way if you're not in IRC | |
| [17:25] <MatthewMetzger> kirkland: I haven't opened a bug before, but it'd be a great learning experience for me. I'll try to do it later this afternoon :) | |
| [17:26] <kirkland> MatthewMetzger: thats fine, ping me here if you need help opening the bug | |
| [17:26] <MatthewMetzger> At this point, I'm just guessing it's squid. | |
| [17:27] <nijaba> MatthewMetzger: go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/squid/ and click on 'report a bug' | |
| [17:27] <MatthewMetzger> thanks nijaba. I'll be back later. | |
| [17:31] <chimp> Hey ive just set up ubuntu server on a new system, but strangely i cant get it to connect to my local network | |
| [17:32] <chimp> it has 2, gigabit lan connectors, but neither seem to connect | |
| [17:33] <chimp> ive tried turning off one of the lan connectors in the bios, but that didnt help | |
| [17:35] <chimp> is there an automated way i can try connecting it, ive set up the /etc/network/interfaces file identical (cept for its ip) to another ubuntu server i have running, and it connects the other server fine | |
| [17:45] <dthacker-work> chimp: does 'sudo ifconfig' show a network address set? | |
| [17:45] <dthacker-work> chimp: and I have to ask this :) If you have a dual nic, are you plugged in to the right port? | |
| [17:46] * dthacker-work wouldn't ask if he hadn't made the mistake himself...... | |
| [17:52] <chimp_> argh | |
| [17:53] <chimp_> dthacker-work: for sudo ifconfig, using both ports it shows inet addr as the one i set statically | |
| [17:53] <chimp_> if i set dhcp, then it tries a few times, then says no offers received | |
| [17:53] <chimp_> this is trying on both ports | |
| [17:54] <chimp_> Its a gigabit ethernet port, but the router its connect to is only 100mbit, could this cause the problem? | |
| [17:54] <chimp_> And is there any other config files for networking other than /etc/network/interfaces that i should worry about | |
| [17:54] <dthacker-work> chimp_: does ifconfig show packets being received and sent? If so, can you ping the device you are connected to? | |
| [17:55] <chimp_> pinging the router does nthing, and it doesnt receive packets me things, it has many dropped packets | |
| [17:55] <dthacker-work> chimp_: can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces? | |
| [17:56] <chimp_> hard to do considering its not connected to the net :P | |
| [17:56] <chimp_> Any specifc part that would be interesting? | |
| [17:56] <dthacker-work> ummmm yeah | |
| [17:57] <dthacker-work> what's your server ip address and router ip address? | |
| [17:58] <chimp_> inet addr: 192.168.1.42 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | |
| [17:59] <dthacker-work> that's the server, right? | |
| [17:59] <chimp_> yep | |
| [18:00] <chimp_> the router is on 192.168.254 | |
| [18:00] <chimp_> Its really odd as i said, another ubuntu server is connect absolutely fine | |
| [18:00] <dthacker-work> what's your default route? | |
| [18:02] <dthacker-work> chimp_: do you have a gateway set? | |
| [18:02] <chimp_> 192.168.1.254 | |
| [18:02] <dthacker-work> is it showing up in netstat -rn? | |
| [18:03] <chimp_> never done that before | |
| [18:03] <chimp_> it gives 2 sets | |
| [18:03] <dthacker-work> look for the one that starts with 0.0.0.0 | |
| [18:04] <dthacker-work> 0.0.0.0 10.0.35.250 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 | |
| [18:04] <dthacker-work> that's mine | |
| [18:04] <chimp_> 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 ug 0 0 0 eth0 | |
| [18:04] <chimp_> thats the second one | |
| [18:04] <dthacker-work> looks good | |
| [18:04] <chimp_> the first one has destination of 192.168.1.0 | |
| [18:05] <dthacker-work> we could look at the link | |
| [18:05] <dthacker-work> 'sudo ethtool eth0' or whatever number you are working with | |
| [18:06] <chimp_> ahh | |
| [18:07] <chimp_> it says its speed is 1000Mb/s | |
| [18:07] <chimp_> it shouldnt be | |
| [18:07] <chimp_> the router cant handle gigabit | |
| [18:08] <dthacker-work> that might be it, but most newer cards auto-negotiate. | |
| [18:08] <chimp_> erm wtf | |
| [18:08] <chimp_> its working now | |
| [18:08] <dthacker-work> \o/ | |
| [18:08] <chimp_> found out why | |
| [18:09] <dthacker-work> .....and? | |
| [18:09] <chimp_> my housemate just plugged it all into a gigabit swithc | |
| [18:09] <chimp_> so it really didnt like being plugged into 100mbit | |
| [18:10] <dthacker-work> hehe. cool, glad you found the trouble. | |
| [18:11] <chimp_> lucky we had some gigabit stuff lieing around | |
| [18:14] <chimp_> How does ubuntu server compare to other linux servers, btw? | |
| [18:16] <leonel> the differences are support and software updates | |
| [18:16] <leonel> is the same kernel and same server programs | |
| [18:20] <infinity> (more or less) | |
| [18:20] <infinity> We do put some effort into integration of said applications. | |
| [18:24] <leonel> infinity: and very good integration | |
| [18:24] <leonel> infinity: and that's one of the ubuntu features that made a big difference JUST WORKS ! | |
| [18:25] <leonel> chimp_: and another is the great community supporting ubuntu | |
| [18:26] <chimp_> This is very true | |
| [18:26] <chimp_> This is annoying, i rebooted the server and it will no longer connect again | |
| [18:26] <chimp_> i didnt even change anything | |
| [18:26] <chimp_> :S | |
| [18:26] <chimp_> Is there a way for me to configure it to only use 100mbit | |
| [18:27] <Deeps> as in, force your link speed to be 100mbit? | |
| [18:27] <Deeps> rather than autoneg to something else like 10mbit half duplex? | |
| [18:28] <chimp_> yes | |
| [18:28] <Deeps> could do via the interfaces file | |
| [18:29] <pr0le> mii-tool, but it's probably not persistent | |
| [18:30] <Deeps> yeah, i was gonna suggest adding a post-up line to your interface configuration | |
| [18:31] <chimp_> before when i did sudo ethtool eth0 it gave me a list of possible connection speeds ie. 10/100/1000 | |
| [18:31] <Deeps> post-up ethtool -s <int> autoneg off speed 100 duplex full | |
| [18:31] <chimp_> now it doesnt show them | |
| [18:31] <Deeps> sudo ethtool <interface> | |
| [18:32] <Deeps> eg, sudo ethtool eth0 | |
| [18:32] <chimp_> yer, what im saying is that before i rebooted it listed possible speeds, doesnt anymore | |
| [18:32] <Deeps> is the cable plugged in? | |
| [18:32] <Deeps> what output does it give? | |
| [18:35] <chimp_> supported ports: fibre, link modes: 1000baseT/Full, auto-nego: yes Advertised link modes: not reported, advertised auto-negotiation: yes speed: 1000Mb/s, Duplex full, port fibre | |
| [18:35] <chimp_> and a few others after that | |
| [18:35] <chimp_> Its very odd that it worked then stopped working | |
| [18:36] <Deeps> advertised link modes: not reported, suggests an issue on the other side | |
| [18:36] <chimp_> It gave speeds before i rebooted tho | |
| [18:37] <chimp_> turning off router/switch etc. | |
| [18:37] <chimp_> brb | |
| [18:44] <chimp> well that didnt work | |
| [18:50] <chimp> this is driving me up the wall | |
| === joerlend_ is now known as XiXaQ | |
| [19:11] <chimp> Its basically dropping all packets it receives | |
| === MagicFab is now known as MagicFab_brb | |
| [19:47] <chimp> what command would show me all ethernet connections possible? | |
| [19:50] <chimp> lsbvwp11 | |
| [19:50] <chimp> oops | |
| [19:51] <zul> ifconfig -a | |
| [19:51] <MatthewMetzger> kirkland: the problem wasn't squid. At least, I don't think so. Did you find any differences between Dapper and Hardy concerning squid? | |
| [19:52] <MatthewMetzger> I think I have a memory leak in a perl website cgi script. | |
| [20:00] <frame45> does anyone know how I can get an ftp domain name to work? ex: ftp.mysite.com | |
| [20:02] <m11> hello | |
| [20:03] <m11> i have problem with my DHCP server not starting. i added interface to /etc/default and added all needed information to /etc/dhcp3/dhcp3-server , where can i check more why is failing to start ? | |
| [20:04] <lilsyko> guys | |
| [20:05] <leonel> frame45: take a look at : https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html and https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/dns.html | |
| [20:05] <lilsyko> how do i remove unused packages on a debian server? | |
| [20:05] <leonel> m11: check in /var/log/syslog | |
| [20:05] <lilsyko> i have removed a few core packages | |
| [20:05] <m11> tnx leonel | |
| [20:05] <lilsyko> now i wanna remove the additional packages that were installed with it and are no longer used | |
| [20:06] <lilsyko> hwo do i do that? | |
| [20:07] <frame45> i think it's: sudo apt-get remove (name of package) | |
| [20:08] <lilsyko> yeah i have done that | |
| [20:08] <lilsyko> i'm running this command now | |
| [20:08] <lilsyko> dpkg -P $(dpkg --list | grep ^rc | awk '{ print $2; }') | |
| [20:08] <frame45> thanks leonel | |
| [20:08] <lilsyko> is it ok ? | |
| [20:10] <m11> it says:no subnet declaration for eth0 (0.0.0.0) , but that is first setting in my config:subnet 192.168.1.0 , what i am doing wrong ? | |
| [20:11] <m11> can i add interface to dhcpd.conf somehow ? | |
| [20:25] <mathiaz> sommer: Have you seen the mentoring request on ubuntu-doc ? | |
| [20:27] <sommer> mathiaz: yep | |
| [20:27] <sommer> are you referring to the most recent one? | |
| [20:31] <mathiaz> sommer: yes - grab him ! | |
| [20:31] <sommer> mathiaz: does he live in north carolina too? | |
| [20:31] <sommer> heh, yep I was plannig on responding | |
| [20:32] <sommer> got caught up with some sql stuff this afternoon | |
| === MagicFab_brb is now known as MagicFab | |
| [20:41] <sommer> mathiaz: he's grabbed... heh | |
| === blue-frog_ is now known as blue-frog | |
| [20:41] <mathiaz> sommer: kwel - I was wondering what he could work on | |
| [20:42] <mathiaz> sommer: since the serverguide is almost done for hardy | |
| [20:42] <sommer> mathiaz: ya, I asked that myself... I pointed him toward the Server Idea Pool page with the new content ideas | |
| [20:43] <sommer> mathiaz: if he replies back I'll suggest the help wiki as well :) | |
| [20:54] * faulkes- grumbles | |
| [20:55] <sommer> faulkes-: it'll be okay | |
| [20:56] <MatthewMetzger> mathiaz: does the serverguide for hardy include info on running virtual machines so that they're on the same local network as other real machines (not a NAT creating a virtual network)? | |
| [20:56] <MatthewMetzger> I'm interested in looking over the serverguide if there's a url for it | |
| [20:57] <sommer> MatthewMetzger: sure does: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/index.html | |

| [21:57] <balzac> anyone not idling ? | |
| [21:58] <saltedlight> hi everyone. i need some advices to setup an dns auto-updater on a server with a dynamic ip... anyone have any ideas? | |
| [21:59] <balzac> helo | |
| [21:59] <saltedlight> :)) | |
| [21:59] <saltedlight> hi again :D | |
| [21:59] <balzac> I'd like to help but I don't know anything about it | |
| [22:00] <balzac> saltedlight: are you using eBox? | |
| [22:00] <saltedlight> no | |
| [22:01] <balzac> it's going to become a part of ubuntu-server, I think | |
| [22:01] <saltedlight> what i realy need is a script or something to check my ip and if is changed to auto-update the ip on the dns server... | |
| [22:01] <balzac> http://digg.com/linux_unix/eBox_slated_to_be_the_official_Ubuntu_server_management_tool | |
| [22:01] <saltedlight> never used eBox 'till now... | |
| [22:02] <balzac> it gives one centralized administrative interface for lots of possible networking configurations | |
| [22:02] <balzac> not sure if it would help you though | |
| [22:02] <balzac> I'm pretty ignorant of networking. It's very complex. | |
| [22:04] <saltedlight> the only thing that i need is to have a dns instead of a ip... and my isp has the ridiculous idea to change the ip's when tey think will be 'good' to have some changes... | |
| [22:05] <saltedlight> i dont realy know how to search this on manuals or any other kind of docs related to networking... | |
| [22:06] <balzac> All the documentation I find on eBox assumes the reader knows networking already | |
| [22:07] <balzac> NAT, DHCP, all kinds of other crap I don't know much about | |
| [22:07] <balzac> it's a bloody mess of different networking protocols, none of them simple and they can interfere with each other | |
| [22:08] <saltedlight> ya right... some one said long time ago about ubuntu: "linux for human kinds? well i need linux for dummies!" | |
| [22:08] <saltedlight> ;)) | |
| [22:09] <balzac> I should be a software designer because I could build applications which can be used without a PhD | |
| [22:09] <balzac> most software only gives you hints | |
| [22:10] <balzac> most writers of software documentation write from a subjective point of view | |
| [22:10] <saltedlight> i know... there are tons of scripts that do auto-update... but none is doing the job by himself... it has to be started manualy... | |
| [22:11] <balzac> can you make a cron job to call one of those scripts? | |
| [22:12] <balzac> or a cron job to call a shell script to call your update script? | |
| [22:12] <saltedlight> and will that crontab or what you may call it will do the job if the ip will be changed by the @#$%^& ISP? | |
| [22:13] <balzac> maybe have a variable which gets the current ip? easier said than done... | |
| [22:13] <saltedlight> they changed my ip twice in a half hour... and this still being connected... dont know how... | |
| [22:14] <balzac> ok, your computer is a client of their DHCP server, in order to follow their IP changes, right? | |
| [22:14] <saltedlight> yes | |
| [22:14] <saltedlight> i have to connect with pppoe | |
| [22:15] <saltedlight> and then tey give me wan ip | |
| [22:15] <balzac> is there any way for your update script to query their DHCP server or your DHCP client to get the latest IP? | |
| [22:16] <m1r> i have set eth0 as default interface in /etc/default/dhcp3-server for DHCP server, but it constanly going out on wlan0, anyone have idea what is going on ? | |
| [22:16] <balzac> it's easy to conceptualize, much more difficult to do. | |
| [22:17] <CannibalM> oh thank god, there is a server room! | |
| [22:18] <balzac> yeah, but it's very small | |
| [22:18] <CannibalM> Ok, Proliant 1600, network cards are not functioning. I am newer with linux so have yet to get a non functioning network card to work. So, any ideas? | |
| [22:18] <balzac> I think Canonical needs to sell more LTS licenses | |
| [22:18] <CannibalM> I already have 5 other boxes running server edition hosting stuff, but yet can't figure this small thing out. | |
| [22:19] <kirkland> CannibalM: what version? | |
| [22:19] <CannibalM> It's server 7.10 | |
| [22:19] <kirkland> CannibalM: what kind of network card? | |
| [22:19] <CannibalM> shows up during the configurations, and shows the card type, when I go to run from there, ifconfig shows nothing. | |
| [22:19] <CannibalM> one sec, gonna pull the exact model. | |
| [22:19] <saltedlight> so will this be possible? boot > connect pppoe > update dns on no-ip.org or something > 'fill' if the ip changes > if ip change then re-update dns ?? | |
| [22:20] <balzac> that question is over my head | |
| [22:21] <balzac> I was just hoping I could get some help with eBox, but their channel is only a handful of people | |
| [22:21] <balzac> I know jack-squat about networking | |
| [22:21] <saltedlight> anyone else please? | |
| [22:22] <CannibalM> So exact model not sure, it just reads "Compaq Netelligent Integrated 10/100 T" | |
| [22:22] <m1r> saltedlight: no-ip should work automaticly | |
| [22:22] <CannibalM> thats all ubuntu shows, and thats all I know. Integrated. | |
| [22:22] <CannibalM> As well, I have an expansion card with duel ports, if those would be easier I can pop the card and check the model as well. | |
| [22:23] <saltedlight> and if i get disconnected will the no-up client re-update the ip or i'l have to rerun the command manually? | |
| [22:24] <m1r> saltedlight: update on every conection | |
| [22:25] <CannibalM> Any thoughts anyone? | |
| [22:26] <saltedlight> and how exactly i have to do that? using a cron job or what? | |
| [22:26] <m1r> saltedlight: http://no-ip.org | |
| [22:27] <kirkland> CannibalM: you can check the hardware much easier than popping the box | |
| [22:27] <kirkland> CannibalM: use "lshw" and "lspci -v" | |

| [22:29] <balzac> "Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX PCI TLAN driver missing" | |
| [22:30] <CannibalM> I'm reinstalling ubuntu now. | |
| [22:30] <CannibalM> I was thiiiiiiiiiiis close to using MS server 03 | |
| [22:30] <CannibalM> but sc#@$@ that. | |
| [22:30] <CannibalM> lol | |
| [22:30] <balzac> drivers is the only thing winblows has going for it | |
| [22:30] <CannibalM> exactly. | |
| [22:30] <balzac> I think M$ subsidizes hardware companies to keep drivers out of our hands. | |
| [22:31] <CannibalM> so the question is, where is that info on the missing driver in linux? | |
| [22:31] <CannibalM> the launchpad section: | |
| [22:31] <balzac> that is the question | |
| [22:32] <balzac> maybe an older kernel would help | |
| [22:32] <balzac> older ubuntu v6.1 perhaps | |
| [22:32] <balzac> but that's no fun | |
| [22:32] <balzac> the linux kernel shouldn't need to have driver compatibility built in | |
| [22:32] <balzac> it should all be modular | |
| [22:34] <CannibalM> perfect answer, | |
| [22:34] <CannibalM> hopefully you guys can explain this to me then... | |
| [22:35] <CannibalM> how can I check the kernal on my server? Like the actual kernal version? | |
| [22:35] <CannibalM> *kernel | |
| [22:35] <m1r> uname -a | |
| [22:36] <CannibalM> hmm ok cool thanks, | |
| [22:36] <CannibalM> so in theory It should install the driver automatically then | |
| [22:37] <m1r> for ? | |
| [22:37] <CannibalM> But once the install is finished and I log in, ifconfig shows nothing but a loopback | |
| [22:37] <CannibalM> as well, during install I can't get an IP. | |
| [22:37] <m1r> for ethernt card? | |
| [22:38] <CannibalM> exactly. | |
| [22:38] <CannibalM> pulls nothing it seems. | |
| [22:38] <CannibalM> Meanwhile, I have like onboard, a dual port ethernet card, and a third single card. | |
| [22:38] <CannibalM> nothing can get an IP during install. So I'm just trying to get any of them to function and install | |
| [22:39] <CannibalM> I figure, one port functioning is all I need for now to start developing on it and ssh'ing in. | |

| [23:36] <Zylogue> hello, all...I used Ubuntu server 5.x a while back. I recall in it was a web fronted mp3 player. This app would be great for a multimedia server I'm looking at building. Does anyone recall the name of this app, or similar app? I would like the music to play locally to that machine, out the soundcard audio jack and into the stereo. Thanks | |
