mpathyHi.. Is there some kind of release announcement for the 6.10 Ubuntu-Server?06:14
infinityI doubt it, since it's not been released.06:15
infinity(edgy isn't released yet)06:15
mpathyYes, but something already prepared like at Ubuntu and Kubuntu06:18
infinityNah, we didn't do an announce for the RC.06:29
infinityIt was released, though.  Same directory.06:29
infinityFeel free to test it.06:30
infinityAnd report bugs to me. :)06:30
infinityDon't expect any stellar changes or cool new stuff.  -server got very little love this cycle, as I expect any sane server admins to keep running dapper.06:30
mpathyTHAT would be an information for a Release Announcement :P ;)06:36
infinityThe final release announcement will include an encouragement for people to consider keeping dapper, due to the 5 years' support and months we spent stabilising it, yes.06:37
infinityThe RC announcement already said something like that for the desktop users, though not all that strongly-worded.06:38
mpathyokay ;) its because I set up a new server end of the month so I thought about using edgy but okay, I'll use dapper ;)06:38
infinityBut we are generally encouraging anyone who needs long term support and solid stability to shy away from edgy.  It was meant to be a "fun" "break the world" release, not something to base an enterprise network on.06:38
mpathyperhaps it should be considerd to release ubuntu-server online on LTR ;)06:41
mpathy-online +only06:42
infinityIt's always online-only, we don't ship -server CDs in shipit.06:45
infinityOr if we do, that new and I'm not aware of it.06:45
infinitys/that/that's/06:45
mpathyinfinity: I meant only not online sorry06:53
mpathyI meant server editions only at LTRs06:53
infinityOh, I see what you mean.07:02
infinityNo, we'll continue to release it with regular Ubuntu releases, but I will make sure the release announcement has some wording to encourage people to stick with dapper unless they really want/need edgy.07:02
infinity(Which they might for hardware support, if nothing else)07:02
=== Znuff [i=ibm86@89.35.79.201] has joined #ubuntu-server
ZnuffHello. How does one exactly install ubuntu-server? provided that it has the ubuntu 6.06 cd image?07:11
=== porkpie [n=mark@cpc1-bsfd5-0-0-cust929.cmbg.cable.ntl.com] has joined #ubuntu-server
infinityWell, one would assume you have the ubuntu-server ISO, not the plain ubuntu one?07:14
infinityIf not, then go back to step 1. :)07:14
Znuffthat's a flaw07:14
ZnuffI always thought it's actually the same platform, but without -desktop packages 07:15
Znuffguess I was wrong07:15
infinityIt is the same, but the installation media is different.07:16
infinityMainly to install different kernels, and ship different package sets.07:16
infinityYou can, however, do a no-frills install from an ubuntu alternate CD, then swap kernels, and you're pretty much there.07:16
infinityYou can't even hope to do a server install from the desktop/live CD (the one we ship with shipit), because its installer isn't really bright enough to make that happen.07:17
Znuffwas actually trying to take "downloading another iso" out of the ecuation07:17
porkpiehi guy's  ... just tried the latest release /ubuntu-6.10-rc-server-amd64.iso on a Dell Poweredge 1950  The install now see's the logical drive and installs but on reboot it hangs loading the kernel and I get Alert! /dev/sda1 doesn't exist Dropping into shell  07:17
Znuffinfinity, and I'm reading that there are issues with already-set-up lvm groups?!07:18
infinityporkpie: Are we missing a driver in the initrd, maybe?07:18
porkpieinfinity:how can I check07:18
infinityporkpie: After the install, but before the reboot, you can check to see which driver is being used. (at another virtual console in the installer)07:19
infinityThen check to see if we're actually including it in the initramfs when it drops you to a shell. :)07:19
porkpieinfinity:I am in the initramfs shell now07:20
porkpieit should include the megaraid_sas driver07:20
infinityAs a general rule, if the installer works, but the installed system claims not to find your root drive, we either have a subtle bug somewhere that'll be a pain to find, or we're missing a driver.  The latter is far more likely (and far easier to fix)07:20
infinityporkpie: cat /proc/modules and see if it's loaded.07:20
infinityporkpie: If not, try to modprobe it manually, and see if it exists.07:20
infinityporkpie: If it exists but isn't being loaded, we have a problem.  If it doesn't exist at all, we have a different problem.  If it's loaded but not working, problem number 3.07:21
infinityFind out which problem it is, and then we'll talk.07:21
Znuffinfinity, regarding the "known issue" with already set-up lvm groups in the desktop cd... does the bug still exist in the server cd?07:22
porkpieinfinity:sorry what the syntax for modeprobe ...I normally use FreeBSD  :(07:22
infinityZnuff: No, the desktop CD's partitioner is defficient.  The server CD uses debian-installer, which is much more robust.07:22
infinityporkpie: modprobe megaraid_sas07:22
Znuffthen I guess I'm ok07:22
porkpieinfinity:module megaraid_sas not found07:23
Znuffdamn this will be a pain in the ass, download at 55k/s =( of all these days the FO could break... 07:23
infinityporkpie: A quick glance here looks like we're just missing the module.07:23
infinityporkpie: Yeah.  So, simple fix.07:24
infinityporkpie: You can boot the CD in recovery mode, mount your root partition, chroot to it, then "echo 'megaraid_sas' >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules" and "update-initramfs -u"07:25
infinityporkpie: Then you should be able to boot fine.07:25
infinityporkpie: If that works, tell me, and I'll add it to the SCSI module list (so no one else has to do that hack)07:25
porkpieinfinity:just doing it .....I have done that so many times07:25
porkpieinfinity:it also not seeing the network interfaces either07:26
porkpiebnx2 drivers07:26
infinityThe installer isn't?07:26
porkpieyeah the installer07:26
infinityCurious.07:26
infinityI don't know much about that driver, mind you.07:27
porkpieinfinity:do I use chroot /target07:29
porkpieinfinity:hmm! it will not let me add the module07:31
porkpieinfinity:ok JUST REBOOTING07:34
Znuffinfinity, ubuntu uses mysql4 or 5?07:37
infinityZnuff: 5.07:40
Znuffoh, then no change to the format of backup is needed07:40
infinity(base)adconrad@cthulhu:~$ apt-cache show mysql-server | grep ^Depends07:41
infinityDepends: mysql-server-5.007:41
porkpieinfinity:It has booted now and I have got the interface up and have ran the apt-get update.  I am now trying to install ssh but it keeps looking for the cdrom ...also gedit is coming back with commad not found07:43
infinityporkpie: Okay, we're well in the realm of "support questions" now. :)07:44
infinityIf it's looking for the CD-ROM, and you don't like that, remove the cdrom entry from /etc/apt/sources.list, and gedit better not be found, since it's a GUI app, and ubuntu-server doesn't install X.07:45
Znuffso, I've backed up sql, /etc, named, and now files07:46
Znuffanywhere I should look for something else?07:46

KurtKrautHow can I run an identd ?08:42
KurtKrautI've installed nullidentd and properly set in /etc/inetd.conf but I have no clue how it should be runned.08:43
infinityIf it runs from inetd, you don't need to "run" it at all.08:43
infinityinetd will spawn it when connection attempts come in.08:43
=== infinity decides this is the right time (5am) to go to bed.
KurtKrautinfinity, when I run xchat and connect to freenode for instance it never gets my id.08:44
KurtKrautthe same for all IRC networks.08:44
KurtKrautSo I suppose it does not run when it should run08:44
mpathydoes debbootstrap and cdebootstrap work now as it worked on Debian - but for Ubuntu?08:52
mpathy(sorry for my weird english *g*)08:52
KurtKrautanyone has any clue how I can configure a identd to reply to IRC servers ?08:52

Riesare there any lvm2 configuration tools?11:14
Znuff"lvm" perhaps?11:17
RiesZnuff: yeaa just found it ...stupid me11:23
RiesI just did add this line to my fstab: /dev/vg1/lv1    /opt            xfs     defaults,errors=remount-ro      0       1       11:23
RiesI also see soem stuff about uuid.... I never seen that :)11:23
ZnuffRies, read up on the LVM howto at tldp.org11:23
RiesZnuff: it's working already... and xfs is install on top of lvm..11:23
ZnuffI'm taking care of LVM these days too11:24
Rieswhat is the uuid about and do I need it?11:24
Znuffno, you don't11:24
Riesis the uuid ubuntu specific, or is it used anywehre else?11:25
ChaosFanRies: that's the "new and intuitive way" ;)11:26
ChaosFanof adressing devices11:26
RiesChaosFan: is it a do or don't ?11:26
Riesat teh current point?11:26
ChaosFanit wants to become a do11:26
ChaosFani personally don't like it11:26
Znuffit's interesting, anyway :P11:26
Znuffuuids are too long =/11:26
ChaosFanexactly ;)11:26
Znuffmounting the partition/disk wherever on the bus is located sounds nice for me11:27
Rieshahah... ok, I think I can leave it for now11:27
Riessince I don't see myself moving drives...11:27
ZnuffI mean, I don't think there's another usefull thing for UUIDs, or am I wrong?11:28
ChaosFanZnuff: when i saw the first uuid i decided for myself not to use it or investigate on its uses until i'm forced to ;)11:28
RiesI think you can use a label aswell11:29
ZnuffI never set labels11:30
Riesnever seen it :s11:31
Znuffinstallers usually set labels :)11:32
