| [21:20] <alecs> hi there | |
| [21:20] <Flannel> Howdy alecs | |
| [21:20] <alecs> could you help me with some guide lines about this upgrade ? | |
| [21:20] <Flannel> alecs: You're sure you want to try it? | |
| [21:21] <alecs> yeah ... | |
| [21:21] <alecs> i want the server up and running until tommorow night | |
| [21:21] <Flannel> I thught I read something in #ubuntu about you already trying to go to feisty? is that true? | |
| [21:21] <alecs> because is devel server | |
| [21:22] <alecs> yea i have tried to go tu gutsy actually (7.10) | |
| [21:22] <Flannel> How far did you get? | |
| [21:22] <alecs> machine that i use to speak with you is a gutsy too | |
| [21:22] <alecs> well ... until i have downloaded the sources | |
| [21:22] <Flannel> Since, depending on what happened with that, we may not be able to go to breezy without a lot of anguish | |
| [21:22] <alecs> and then crashed a lot of things .... | |
| [21:23] <alecs> i am allready installing fresh linux (5.04) | |
| [21:23] <Flannel> Oh, you installed this fresh? | |
| [21:24] <Flannel> and can't install a newer version why again? | |
| [21:24] <alecs> i am doing this right now ... | |
| [21:24] <alecs> because ... i do not have the install CD with me ... | |
| [21:24] <alecs> i am 80 km from that CD | |
| [21:24] <Flannel> And you can't download an burn another? or netboot or something to get it? | |
| [21:24] <alecs> and is allready 11.34 here (PM) | |
| [21:25] <Flannel> right, but we're going to be doing quite a bit to upgrade you to dapper even, two upgrades. | |
| [21:25] <Flannel> Alright, well, we're following these guides, more or less: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | |
| [21:25] <Flannel> This is a fresh install of Hoary? | |
| [21:26] <alecs> of ubuntu 5.04 | |
| [21:27] <Flannel> alecs: right. Alright, we'll want to change our sources.list to old-releases.ubuntu.com instead of whatever is in there. you can go ahead and do that now. | |
| [21:27] <alecs> w8 for a sec ... | |
| [21:27] <Flannel> And while you're there, go ahead and change hoary to breezy | |
| [21:27] <Flannel> on all the lines | |
| [21:28] <alecs> ok | |
| [21:29] <alecs> now booting ... | |
| [21:29] <alecs> i have to configure my network and after that we shall see | |
| [21:30] <alecs> by the way what is default root password? | |
| [21:30] <Flannel> There is no root password, the root account is locked | |
| [21:31] <alecs> well ... how do i unlock it ... | |
| [21:31] <alecs> ? | |
| [21:31] <Flannel> You don't need to, use sudo instead | |
| [21:31] <alecs> ok | |
| [21:31] <alecs> i know about that ;) | |
| [21:32] <alecs> ok | |
| [21:32] <alecs> what do i change in source list /// | |
| [21:32] <alecs> i will comment cd-rom line | |
| [21:33] <Flannel> change all the URLs to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu | |
| [21:33] <Flannel> and then change the hoarys to breezys | |
| [21:36] <alecs> ok | |
| [21:37] <alecs> i have changed to breezy | |
| [21:37] <alecs> now i should run | |
| [21:37] <alecs> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | |
| [21:37] <Flannel> yeah | |
| [21:38] <alecs> hmmm | |
| [21:38] <alecs> i have some problems | |
| [21:38] <Flannel> Which ones? | |
| [21:38] <alecs> could not stat source package list http://old-releases.ubuntu.com breezy/main | |
| [21:39] <alecs> could not stat source package list http://old-releases.ubuntu.com breezy/ universe | |
| [21:39] <alecs> and all | |
| [21:39] <Flannel> alright, paste (here) a single line from your sources.list | |
| [21:39] <Flannel> (obviously, not one thats commented out) | |
| [21:40] <alecs> loool | |
| [21:40] <alecs> let me check something | |
| [21:42] <alecs> works now | |
| [21:42] <alecs> :D | |
| [21:43] <alecs> my stupid person has forgot to configure the ppp connection ... and rise up eth0 | |
| [21:43] <alecs> i will run this now | |
| [21:43] <alecs> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | |
| [21:45] <alecs> now it works .. i will check those | |
| [21:45] <alecs> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | |
| [21:46] <Flannel> alecs: Once you're upgraded to breezy, you can upgrade to dapper like that page says, you'll need to change your repo URLs again, as old-releases won't have the supported versions. You should switch to your local mirror for best performance | |
| [21:47] <alecs> hmmm .. | |
| [21:47] <alecs> located in romania ... | |
| [21:47] <alecs> if i recall | |
| [21:48] <alecs> ftp.iasi.roedu.net is the nearest | |
| [21:51] <alecs> BTW ... do you know if developers will include Qmail into the repository ? | |
| [21:57] <Flannel> !mirrors | |
| [21:57] <ubottu> Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Hardy, and help keeping the servers' load low! | |
| [21:57] <alecs> ok... | |
| [21:58] <alecs> still i will not pass to hardy yet ... | |
| [22:26] <alecs> what sould i change to bring up my eth0 at startup time ? | |
| [22:39] <Eharan_XW> can anyone point me at a good clear guide for deb packaging? -- i know rpm, and have tried to get my head around deb but it seems really messy | |
| [23:00] <nalioth> Eharan_XW: ask uncle google "debian new maintainers guide" | |
