User1: can anyone suggest how I resolve the memory leak in the repository version of dansguardian? it is a known bug, a new source version repairs, i just don't know how to make it ...
User2: What version?  What release are you running?  What version fixes it?
User1: i'm trying to compile 91.69.162.6, unsuccessfully
User1: i think repository has ver 2.7 or 2.8
User2: What release of Ubuntu are you running?
User1: 7.04
User1: actually, somebody suggested i to a build-dep, which seems to have resolved my compile probs...
User2: Gutsy and Debian unstable have the same upstream version (2.8) and the bug fixes between the Feisty and Gutsy versions do not seem to have anything regarding memory leaks.
User2: User1 What build dep?
User1: dansguardian
User1: apt-get build-dep dansg....
User2: Ah, that installs the build dependencies for dansguardian.  Yes, you'd have to do that.
User1: i'm lerning :)
User2: No problem.
User2: At this point then I think there isn't a lot more that I can do to help.  It'll either work or not.  Good luck.
User1: i guess i have to point it to a correct install dir...
User3: When I'm setting up a server, do I really need swap-space?
User2: Yes
User2: Is there a reason you don't want it?
User2: Actually, I guess you don't NEED it.
User3: cuz the harddisk I'm using is 2gigs... :/
User3: and I have plenty of memory
User2: Ah.  Well then no, you don't need swap.
User3: but I dont get errors or something if I install without having a swap partition?
User2: I'm not sure as I've never tried to install without swap.
User2: I'd suggest give it a go and see what happens.
User3: ok, I'll try without the swap then...
User4: depending on the situation, swap space isn't required...I've got a couple machines with no swap partitions
User4: both of which have 2GB of RAM
User4: without X, I don't see why you couldn't run without swap on 512MB, depending on which services you're running
User5: I say if you have a gig or more of ram, swap is not needed, unless you have a gui installed
User3: I did the server install first without the swap, and I got some nasty errors. Then I tried with like 150mb of swap, and everything went much smoother. I'ts not that big a deal when I am using only 150mb for swap, so I couldn't be bothered trying anymore... I have somewhere above 512mb of RAM on it tho...
User6: dthacker you here ?
