[02:06] <dmg_> Hello, everybody
[02:09] <dmg_> I was looking at the small business server page and the related threads but I did found any quite precise specification or informations about what that bunch of people are really going too. If there is someone in that stuff can we have a talk?
[02:18] <TTT_Travis> Hi, I am running ubuntu server and for some reason it didn't detect my network card during the install, how do I add a new one through the command line?
[02:18] <dmg_> ouch, which nic type do you use ?
[02:20] <TTT_Travis> Linksys LNE100TX
[02:20] <dmg_> humm should work fine, is that you're second card and the first one is of the same type ?
[02:20] <TTT_Travis> it worked under ubuntu on a different box
[02:21] <TTT_Travis> and this one before
[02:21] <TTT_Travis> dmg_ nope
[02:21] <TTT_Travis> just 1 card
[02:21] <TTT_Travis> I run ifconfig and it only shows loopback
[02:22] <TTT_Travis> do you know how to add a card manually
[02:23] <dmg_> humm usually you just have to load the module and that works fine
[02:23] <TTT_Travis> ok I am going to experiment
[02:23] <dmg_> try modprobe tulip.o
[02:24] <dmg_> (or maybe lsmod | grep tulip to see if it's already loaded)
[02:33] <TTT_Travis> tis loaded
[02:33] <TTT_Travis> but no network card
[02:33] <TTT_Travis> it shows up in /etc/network/interfaces
[02:35] <dmg_> oh
[02:35] <dmg_> ifconfig -a 
[02:35] <dmg_> might just be down :p
[02:37] <TTT_Travis> didn't help
[02:37] <TTT_Travis> I got an idea though
[02:40] <TTT_Travis> yay I think it worked
[02:40] <TTT_Travis> I took out my TV tuner card
[02:40] <TTT_Travis> guess it was causing a conflict
[02:40] <dmg_> strange
[02:40] <dmg_> might help to just switch port between them
[02:41] <TTT_Travis> still doesn't work
[02:41] <TTT_Travis> I was wrong
[02:41] <dmg_> are you sure the card ok ?
[02:41] <dmg_> (and the pci slot also ?)
[02:43] <TTT_Travis> probably not
[02:43] <TTT_Travis> could be the problem
[02:43] <TTT_Travis> but the card worked on windows
[02:43] <TTT_Travis> just before I reformatted
[02:43] <TTT_Travis> so I don't think it's a system problem
[02:43] <TTT_Travis> I have had problems before
[02:43] <TTT_Travis> but it just magically started work
[02:44] <TTT_Travis> but the lights on the nic aren't lighting like they're supposed to
[02:46] <dmg_> do you mean that the light are off ?
[02:48] <TTT_Travis> ok so normally when you plug the cable in the main light is on and the other ones blink, so I unplug the cable and it still the same exact way, so I try booting with it unplugged and the light still lights up
[02:48] <TTT_Travis> and it's not supposed to
[02:49] <TTT_Travis> it worked fine on windows
[02:49] <TTT_Travis> maybe I should just get another nic
[02:49] <TTT_Travis> or swap it with a different computer
[02:50] <TTT_Travis> I'll try that
[02:50] <dmg_> yep that's definetly weird
[02:51] <dmg_> omg, ubuntu wiki organisationnal scheme is definitely mayhem
[02:55] <TTT_Travis> hmm still nothing
[02:55] <TTT_Travis> I switched the card
[02:55] <TTT_Travis> with one out of my other ubuntu server box
[02:55] <dmg_> still the same nic model ?
[02:56] <dmg_> (try using another pci slot then, the slot might be damaged)
[02:56] <TTT_Travis> different nic
[02:57] <TTT_Travis> but I think ubuntu might be not detecting it
[02:57] <TTT_Travis> the new card
[02:57] <TTT_Travis> because if I try ifconfig eth0 it says device not found
[02:57] <dmg_> humm
[02:57] <TTT_Travis> don't know what drive it users
[02:57] <dmg_> what is the new nic ?
[02:57] <TTT_Travis> that common realtek chipset
[02:57] <TTT_Travis> super generic
[02:58] <TTT_Travis> it's in a different pci slot then the other one too
[03:00] <dmg_> 8139too
[03:00] <dmg_> the driver should be that one
[03:01] <TTT_Travis> ok
[03:02] <TTT_Travis> ok modprobe 8139too then what?
[03:02] <dmg_> then ifconfig
[03:02] <dmg_> (ifconfig -a)
[03:03] <TTT_Travis> still nothing
[03:03] <dmg_> huh... then I'm out of answer
[03:03] <TTT_Travis> hmm
[07:23] <duderock> hi there!
[07:24] <duderock> I'm having a problem with ubuntu server on an AMD X2 socket AM2 - Gigabyte MOBO... Here's a log from boot to lockup, if anyone has any ideas..... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22300
