User1: is it possible to convert an ext3 fs to lvm?
User2: User1 no
User1: actually I found an interesting doc about this
User2: really?
User1: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/upgraderoottolvm.html
User1: I've been looking in the wrong places earlier
User1: This article says you need at least 50% free space on the device, or an external drive
User2: this is a test system i presume?
User3: well, the plan is to do it on a production machine, but I will definitely first learn to do this on a separate system
User2: i'm curious about it.  let me know how it turns out
User1: will do
User4: I'm having problems with apt-get on a clean installation of ubuntu using vmbuilder
User4: anyone here who could help?
User2: User4 ask and see
User4: I get "E: Method http has died unexpectedly!" for "apt-get install" of any package
User4: my connection is fine.  I installed git and curl using the configs of vmbuilder, and I can connect to the Internet without problem
User2: User4 pastebin the entire output of that install command; also pastebin your sources.list file
User4: milo@staging0:~$ sudo apt-get install strace
User4: Reading package lists... Done
User4: Building dependency tree
User4: Reading state information... Done
User4: The following NEW packages will be installed:
User4: strace
User4: 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
User4: Need to get 162kB of archives.
User4: After this operation, 340kB of additional disk space will be used.
User4: Get:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main strace 4.5.17+cvs080723-2ubuntu1 [162kB]
User4: E: Method http has died unexpectedly!
User2: no
User4: milo@staging0:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
User4: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty main restricted universe
User4: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty-updates main restricted universe
User4: deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty-security main restricted universe
User4: oops
User2: pastebin means go to pastebin.ca (say) and paste your stuff there.  then give us the url's to those pages
User2: (never paste in more than a couple of lines in the irc channel)
User4: User2 http://pastebin.com/maa6f788
User4: understood, mistake
User2: User4 try '$ sudo apt-get update', do you get an error also?
User4: User2 no errors there, but I get the same error if I change the servers in the source list
User2: User4 do you have anything under /etc/apt/sources.list.d ?
User4: User2 nope, empty
User2: User4 are you using a web proxy of any kind?
User4: User2 nope
User2: User4 i think you've hit a bug then
User2: for instance, see bug 385144
User2: User4 this is a very recent fix
User2: User4 it might be related to what you're seeing, might not.  but there is a PPA available for testing
User4: User2 I can't update the source list, so I'll see if I can set the PPA with vmbuilder and have it grab the fix when installing
User4: User2 is there any way I can apply the fix on the existing install?
User2: User4 the ppa is for karmic i just saw
User4: User2 why would I have the same problem across multiple suites (jaunty and hardy) and for the flavour virtual?
User2: User4 you also see this in hardy?
User4: User2 yes
User2: User4 can you pastebin the vmbuilder command you used to build the vm?
User4: User2 I would prefer to install hardy-virtual.  I only tried jaunty to see if it would fix it
User4: User2 sure

User5: My boss just got a domain from 1&1 and he is on a dynamic ip address and I see in the 1&1 control pannel where to put the ip address. Is there some kind of client I could use to update the DNS? We can't get a static ip.
User2: User4 sorry, i'm stumped
User2: User4 you may want to talk about it in #ubuntu-virt
User4: User2 I don't feel so bad then.  I tried and no one responded.  not exactly the best time of day/week
User2: User5 try ipcheck
User4: User2 thanks for the help though. I'll stay on it
User2: User4 np, and let me know if you figure it out
User4: User2 sure thing, have a good 4th
User5: User2 looking into it thanks
User5: User2 I don't have dyndns but this will still work?
User2: User5 should, but please read the 1&1 site (info on compatible clients)
User5: okay will do. I never set up a real domain before so I am new to this
