[02:31] <Matthewv> trying to install ubuntu-server (LAMP) on a celeron 233 with 64 mb ram --- drops down to low memory mode, and then, when tryign to detect cd, i get Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
[02:32] <Matthewv> or is this the wrong channel?
[02:56] <Matthewv> does this channel exist?
[03:06] <neuralis> interesting. i haven't tried a very low memory ubuntu install, but that doesn't sound like an OOM error.
[03:07] <neuralis> are you able to glean anything else from the output before the error?
[03:08] <Matthewv> neuralis, not really, i just installed more memory :) and now almost the same happens, xept it hangs and doesn't display the error... maybe cause framebuffer is now running?
[03:08] <neuralis> could be. were you previously able to install another distribution on this machine?
[03:08] <Matthewv> seemed to be a few problems linking /dev/discs/something to /hda something
[03:08] <Matthewv> neuralis, yes it had breezy on it
[03:08] <Matthewv> i wanted to try the lamp installation :)
[03:09] <Matthewv> hang on, i'll try the normal installation, not lamp, and see what happens
[03:09] <neuralis> Matthewv: the lamp installation is a plain ubuntu server install that automatically adds five packages at the end. shh, it's a secret.
[03:09] <Matthewv> neuralis, so that wouldn't make a diff.?
[03:10] <neuralis> no.
[03:10] <Matthewv> oh ok :)
[03:10] <neuralis> i'd hate to think we regressed on minimum memory for the server install, but it's possible.
[03:11] <Matthewv> Missing module 'hd-sometih'
[03:11] <Matthewv> create_node: symlink(hda5, /dev/disc1) failed : File exists
[03:11] <Matthewv> cdrom-detect: searching for ubuntu installation media...
[03:12] <neuralis> this is after you already launched into d-i?
[03:13] <Matthewv> d-i?
[03:13] <neuralis> the installer?
[03:13] <Matthewv> this is after i run the installer normally, i hit ctrl-alt-f4 and watch errors...
[03:13] <Matthewv> now its got the kernel panic error
[03:13] <Matthewv> preceded by a whole stack of cdrom_stuff, ide stuff...
[03:13] <neuralis> ah. reboot, go to the console when the installer opens, and see what the memory usage is like.
[03:14] <Matthewv> ok
[03:14] <Matthewv> i put extra memory in now though, so it isnt running in low mem. mode any more
[03:14] <neuralis> how much is in there now?
[03:15] <Matthewv> 128M
[03:15] <Matthewv> there was 64M i think
[03:15] <neuralis> have you run the integrity checker on the cd?
[03:15] <Matthewv> neuralis, no
[03:16] <Matthewv> how do i check memory usage?
[03:16] <neuralis> run 'free'.
[03:16] <Matthewv> 23920 used
[03:17] <neuralis> yeah, doesn't sound like a memory thing. i'd run the integrity check to make sure it isn't a bad burn.
[03:18] <Matthewv> ok... thanks neuralis i'll do that
[03:19] <Matthewv> btw neuralis is this a dev or support channel.. topic sounds like dev. but chanserv tells me its support + dev
[03:20] <neuralis> development only. but we tend to take *interesting* support questions.
[03:20] <Matthewv> ok, so chanserv is wrong?
[03:20] <neuralis> yeah, we should get that fixed.
[03:22] <Matthewv> cd integrity checker has kernel panic
[03:22] <neuralis> well then :)
[03:23] <Matthewv> reburn??
[03:23] <neuralis> yeah. do a verify round after burning, if you can.
[03:23] <Matthewv> ok... and i deleted is .iso :(
[03:24] <neuralis> you can do a minimal breezy install and just upgrade.
[03:25] <Matthewv> ok... i think I'd rather have a dedicated iso, as both will require about the same amount of download wont they?
[03:25] <neuralis> yeah. i assumed you still had breezy burns on hand.
[03:26] <Matthewv> what i mean is upgrading all those packages to dapper will require the same amount of download as downloading the iso, right?
[03:27] <neuralis> a lot less, actually.
[03:27] <Matthewv> really?? ok... and then i suppose its a sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql5 php5 and?
[03:29] <neuralis> apache2, php5, mysql-server, linux-image-server
[03:31] <Matthewv> ok, thanks a lot for all the help neuralis
[03:31] <neuralis> sure.
[07:26] <blanky> hey guys
[07:27] <blanky> if I install an ubuntu server, CLI only, is there a way to make the text smaller, like, higher resolution terminal?
[07:29] <blanky> anyone, please
[07:52] <lionelp> blanky: you mean a frame buffer console ?
[07:53] <blanky> lionelp, yeah that! :)
[07:53] <blanky> lionelp, somebody at #ubuntu told me to get svgatextmode, is that correct?
[07:54] <lionelp> I do not remember on server CD, I remmember it was easily possible on the alternate CD
[07:54] <blanky> lionelp, that's what I'm using, a xubuntu alternate cd, with boot option 'server'
[07:55] <lionelp> You should so have an option menu on the first screen to select the resolution
[07:55] <lionelp> btw, when you have finished, juste edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:55] <blanky> lionelp, okay cool, er, what for?
[07:55] <lionelp> change the line # defoptions
[07:56] <blanky> okay
[07:56] <lionelp> to something like # defoptions=quiet splash vga=0x317
[07:56] <blanky> oh okay, thanks sir
[07:56] <lionelp> I do not remmeber the correspondance betwen vga=values and resolution
[07:56] <lionelp> but sure google will help you :)
[07:56] <blanky> thanks, i'll look it up :)
[12:43] <TrioTorus> lionelp: Hey, why is it in the wiki that you chose to delete the initial database?
[12:44] <TrioTorus> I think this is a bit confusing because when you install slapd, you get asked questions that relate to your initial setup
[12:44] <TrioTorus> lionelp: but let me also ask: how r u today? :-)
[01:20] <TrioTorus> For ldap, do I need the rootdn to be an entry in the database? Or is the configuration in slapd.conf enough?
[01:23] <lionelp> Hi TrioTorus
[01:23] <lionelp> Fine thanks and you ?
[01:23] <lionelp> I choose to delete to have a full LDIF import
[01:24] <lionelp> If all the database was not in the LDIF, we can not delete the content
[01:30] <TrioTorus> true, but isn't it true when installing slapd, you get asked base dn and root password?
[01:31] <lionelp> yes, that's true
[01:32] <lionelp> But my setup is a more general process
[01:32] <TrioTorus> lionelp: think we should at least inform the noob installer about that. I'll have a look at what is there initially, and maybe for the example we better build on that?
[01:32] <lionelp> For exemple, if I want a o=my_company as suffix, I can't with installer
[01:33] <TrioTorus> lionelp: think we should then inform the package maintainer to make that possible?
[01:34] <lionelp> TrioTorus: LDAP will always need some knowledge of the LDAP protocol and fine tuning
[01:34] <lionelp> everything can not be done at install
[01:34] <lionelp> all the person I know that install slapd do a by hand tuning after the install
[01:35] <lionelp> yes, we can inform the user in the howto, but I love simple howto
[01:35] <lionelp> this is not a copy-paste of the man page
[01:35] <lionelp> I hate howto that make me afraid when I see how long they are
[01:35] <lionelp> but that is a personnal POV
[01:36] <TrioTorus> no, it should be ubuntu specific, that's why I think we should inform that there is stuff there already
[01:36] <TrioTorus> I can see of course that starting from scratch has its advantages
[01:36] <TrioTorus> just thought to open up discussion
[01:37] <TrioTorus> because for edgy eft, there is a directive I would like to see evolve: authenticating against a directory
[01:39] <lionelp> As we said yesterday, a network authentication specification is under work
[01:39] <lionelp> and will be implemented as Google SoC
[01:39] <TrioTorus> ok, wasn't here anymore then. Where can I read up on this?
[01:41] <lionelp> https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/network-authentication
[01:43] <TrioTorus> ok, so with this spec in mind, shouldn't people be setting up an ubuntu OpenLDAP server with certain directives?
[01:44] <lionelp> If you have a look at implementation plan, you'll see that the server part is quite reduced
[01:46] <TrioTorus> yes, it is quite general, it doesn't say what directory is going to be used, or is auth-server a tool that comes with fedora directory server?
[01:47] <lionelp> I do not know which tools have been choosen
[01:47] <lionelp> I dot not even know if tools have been choosen
[01:48] <TrioTorus> ok, no, "a metapackage to depend on slapd & krb5" implies, OpenLDAP
[01:49] <ajmitch> since I'm going off to sleep now :)
[01:49] <lionelp> hh
[01:49] <lionelp> so have a good night ajmitch
[01:49] <TrioTorus> ajmitch: nice, good night
[01:50] <atomic007za> hi
[01:50] <atomic007za> Ihave a question
[01:50] <TrioTorus> lionelp: ok, so you have to forgive for being so anxious. I'm all new to this community, but it rocks.
[01:52] <TrioTorus> lionelp: specific to your wiki page, in the last line of the init.ldif file you propose, there is the displayName attribute for a posixGroup objectclass. I got an error stating that displayName is not allowed. Is this correct?
[01:52] <atomic007za> I know this is a ubuntu IRC channel but can anyone help me to get fedora support or point me in the right direction?
[01:52] <shawarma> atomic007za: Try #fedora
[01:53] <atomic007za> thx
[01:54] <atomic007za> ##fedora-join-instructions :Please register with services and use the IDENTIFY command (/msg nickserv help) to speak in this channel
[01:54] <atomic007za> sorry new to IRC what does this mean
[01:54] <atomic007za> ?
[01:54] <atomic007za> where r the services?
[01:55] <lionelp> atomic007za: you need to type "/msg NickServ register your_password"
[01:55] <atomic007za> i c
[01:55] <atomic007za> thx
[01:56] <lionelp> TrioTorus: let me just few second to check :)
[01:57] <lionelp> TrioTorus: displayName is an attribute of the inetorgPerson class
[01:59] <TrioTorus> lionelp: yes, but as it stands now, groups is only posixGroup objectClass
[02:00] <TrioTorus> lionelp: I'm referring to dn: cn=example,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com on the wiki
[02:00] <lionelp> oh yes, sorry i see
[02:00] <lionelp> that's a typo
[02:01] <lionelp> corrected
[02:01] <TrioTorus> cool
[02:27] <atomic007za> no luck at fedora, no one home, or jst not answering. Is it ok to ask a dansguardian question here?
[02:28] <atomic007za> been to #dansguardian but dead there to
[07:45] <flo> Hi ! Should a webcam basicly work on ubuntu-server or is there maybe something missing from the kernel ?
[08:19] <mgalvin> flo: i would image it would work (especially if you install the desktop kernel)  if you have capture software installed
[08:19] <mgalvin> haven't tried it though
[08:20] <flo> ok then it's probably something else i just wanted to make sure before i keep searching for a solution...
[09:46] <VonGeist> I just finished installing ubuntu server and for some reason its not letting me log in. I've re-installed to make sure I put in the right uid and pwd but it keeps telling me login incorrect. Any ideas why it would be doing that? Is there something I'm missing?
[09:47] <VonGeist> anyone?
[11:17] <mark105> i just updated from breezy to dapper, i see dapper has a new kernel, i have a smp server box so does the dapper kernel support smp?
[11:18] <neuralis> mark105: the server kernel certainly does.
[11:38] <mark105> im not sure which kernel i have
[11:38] <mark105> i just got my breezy install and edited sources.list from everything breezy to dapper and dist-updated
