GrinningFoolI'm hoping someone can give me some advice -- I've got three boxes here that I'm going to be reinstalling. Currently, they run Mandrake (yes, that's right, not Mandriva), Gentoo, and Gentoo.  I'm looking to use the same distro on each, just for my own sanity; I've been impressed with ubuntu desktop, but haven't been able to find much either way about ubuntu-server.05:34
GrinningFoolI'm currently deciding between FC5 and ubuntu-server, but am still on the fence05:34
trs80ubuntu server is pretty much the ubuntu-server metapackage and different kernel05:35
GrinningFoolAh; that simplifies.05:36
GrinningFoolthanks trs8005:37
trs80dapper will also be supported for 5 years on the server, although what exactly counts as server I'm not sure05:38

nicolaHi, I'm installing ubuntu 5.10 on a server proliant 380 G4 with 5 GB ram, I've installed linux-image-2.6.12.10-amd64-xeon, at the boot I recive 2 warnings: 1) more than 4GB of memory but IOMMU not compiled in; 2) 32 bit PCI may malfunction. How to correct? have I to compile a custom kernel, if so is there a cookbook or guidelines? Thanks12:20
trs80to compile a custom kernel, apt-get install build-essential kernel-package12:22
nicolasob! next question: in make xconfig the preselected options are the same of the current kernel; in other words do I have only to change the switch for big mem?12:24
trs80http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21 is a quick howto on compiling kernels12:26
trs80xeons don't have an IOMMU which is why it's not compiled in ... not sure what the fix is12:27
nicolamy problem is not how to compile kernel but how to configure I need a quite optimized kernel12:30
trs80you could grab the config from linux-amd64-server and go from there12:30
nicolaok, that is what I need! :) where do I find the config?12:31
trs80apt-get install linux-amd64-server, then the config will be /boot/config-something12:32
nicolalinux-amd64-server is not available in breezy repository is there a source to add in sources.list?12:32
trs80ah, it's dapper-only12:33
nicolado you think it is safe to install dapper?12:34
trs80it's going to be released on june 1, so pretty safe, year12:34
trs80s/year/yeah/12:34
nicolaok, let's go dapper! :), thank you very much12:36

nicolahallo i've to report a bug, hope this is the correct place, in dapper 6.06 flight7 live, triing to install dapper on a proliant 380 g4 (smart array 6i with 3 disks of 300 GB in RAID 5 hardware 1 logical volume) there are some problems in the partitioning tool used by the installer: it seems to edit the existing partitions but it is not able to select mount points, it is also impossible to write partitions via fdisk on a shell, using the text install04:41
nicola cd it is all ok04:41
spikenicola: the correct place for reporting bugs is not here but launchpad.net04:45
nawtynicola: www.launchpad.net would be the place for you04:45
nicolasorry :(04:45
spikenicola: anche check if a similar bug already exists before reporting the new one04:45
spikenicola: np04:45

IkesterHi all09:34
IkesterCan anybody answer a question about releases?09:34
IkesterWill Ubuntu server be a different distribution than the mainstream Dapper?09:35
IkesterOr is the latest server build available with the recently announced Flight 7 for 6.06?09:36
infinityIkester: I didn't do ubuntu-server builds for Flight-7, but any recent daily will serve the same purpose for testing.09:48
infinityhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/09:49
infinityIkester: I will make sure to do an ubuntu-server Flight-8 release, though.09:49
=== fabbione [i=fabbione@gordian.fabbione.net] has joined #ubuntu-server
IkesterThanks infinity. How about when it is released in June? I'm guessing it'll be a single download for both(?)10:10
IkesterSo what would be missing from Flight-7 compared to the daily build?10:11
IkesterSome .deb files? Or is it something related to the installer itself?10:23
IkesterI'm just wondering if I can get a server running on a daily snapshot and then bring it up to date with apt-get update or if I should wait for an "official" release.10:24
