Micksaright05:57
Micksawhat's the ubuntu equiv of "auto eth0:0" in /etc/interfaces?05:57
Micksaer05:57
Micksa/etc/network/interfaces :)05:57
infinityThe same.05:57
Micksais not05:58
Micksatell me what's wrong with this05:58
Micksaauto eth0:005:58
Micksaiface eth0:0 inet static address 203.217.18.195 netmask 255.255.255.248 network 203.217.18.192 broadcast 203.217.18.19905:58
Micksagraghrg05:58
=== Micksa 's head explodes
infinityOther than the obvious lack of linebreaks, I assume?05:58
infinityI assume eth0 is also "auto"?05:59
Micksathat was a cut'n'paste anomaly05:59
infinityOr are you upping eth0 with hotplug or something?05:59
Micksahmm... no but it comes up05:59
Micksahotplug05:59
infinityIf you're using hotplug mappings on a server... Don't. ;)06:00
infinity(dapper removes all that hotplug mapping stuff anyway)06:00
Micksa*shrug* kay06:00
MicksaI never liked the idea anyway :)06:00
Micksanot on a server06:00
Micksaso can I trash the "mapping hotplug" stanza, set "auto eth0" and it'll all work fine?06:00
infinityThat should do it.06:00
Micksaokay. here goes06:01
Micksacourse I can't restart the server right now :)06:01
MicksaI'll have to test, like, next thunder storm or something06:01
MicksaI need UPS :/06:01
infinityHeh.06:01
LordHunter317Micksa: unless you're using the iface, you can always ifdown it, and then ifup -a it IIRC06:05
LordHunter317it should igfnore already reaised interfaces.06:05
LordHunter317err raised.06:05
Micksawon't that break 50 running daemons?06:05
LordHunter317some of them relying on the interface being there will need to be restarted, yes.06:05
LordHunter317lke I said, unless you're using it...06:05
Micksaanyway I wanted to also test that the NIC device actually exists when it's brought up06:06
LordHunter317you mean it has link?06:06
Micksano, like, hotplug has brought it up06:06
Micksabut like, hotplug starts just before S40networking so it should be fine06:06
MicksaI'll get to it06:07
LordHunter317there's no need to explictly test, for the reason you jsut mentioned... so I'm kinda confused.06:08
Micksaparanoia06:42
Micksait's a good thing in this line of woork06:43
LordHunter317if you're taht worried about it, just explcitly load the driver as a pre-up.06:50
LordHunter317which should run regardless of interface presence, IIRC.06:50
LordHunter317failign that, add an initscript, or use /etc/modules if you don't trust hotplug.06:50
MicksaI just want it to boot properly without any intervention, that's all06:56
LordHunter317if oyu're worried about htee NIC driver not loading, toss the name in /etc/modules.06:57
LordHunter317done.06:57
MicksaI don't want to be in another state and find out that I can't get my mail till I get back because this machine didn't come up properly06:57

Micksaanyone here used vmware player?09:26
Micksacan it run a server? ie listen on a port and be connected to?09:26
hungerMicksa: I road an article about vmware player. They wrote there that the only limitation is that it can not setup/configure the machine used.09:38
sebesthunger: what do you mean?10:17
hungersebest: Did I say something here?10:18
sebesthunger about vmware server10:19
=== <sebest!n=sebest@sebest.ovibes.com> requested unknown ctcp hunger from #ubuntu-server
sebest<>Micksa: I road an article about vmware player. They wrote there that the only limitation is that it can not setup/configure the machine used.10:19
hungersebest: Oh that:-)10:19
sebestyes, because vmware server allow you to configure the host and guest machine exactly like vmware workstation10:19
hungerMicksa asked about vmware player.10:19
sebestah sory10:20
hungerMicksa: ... and whether that could run servers.10:20
sebesti missread him :)10:20
sebestbetter use vmware server :)10:20
hungerMicksa: From what I understood it can (if you feed it a machine configured accordingly).10:20
hungersebest: Nah. I do not use proprietary software on my own boxes.10:21
sebesthunger: vmware player is not propriertary software?10:21
hungersebest: I used Vmware ESX for a while at a customer's site. It is really nice.10:21
hungersebest: vmware player is proprietary. I did not use it, I only read about it.10:22
sebesti mean it's better to use vmware server than to use vmware player for server usage10:22
hungersebest: I tend to agree, even though I never have used vmware server nor vmware player;-)10:23
sebestvmware server, is like esx10:24
