[12:38] hello? [12:39] LVM [12:39] huh? [12:39] you can do flexible, easy partitioning with LVM and change it easily later [12:40] took a long time [12:40] ... [12:40] comments like that aren't too polite. [12:41] and someone already replied to you 5 hours ago [12:41] I'm sorry [12:41] sparsely, I guess, but anyway. [12:41] I was trying to joke, but it does not translate well into bits and bytes [12:41] oh, ok :) http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ [12:42] I'm very sarcastic, but it does not end up well online. [12:42] thank you for the link [12:43] have you looked at any version of 6.10 [12:44] yes, Im using the release [12:45] I see the answer you were talking about now. Looks like a shorthand for something like lol [12:45] guess the ;) threw me off [12:49] another question if you don't mind, Is it easy to configure the network for a ubuntu server after the install, using a line from a windows box? [12:50] My setup is kinda weird I guess, I have two computers and I have my main windows box that has net, I'm getting another network card so I can pop it into one of the boxes and have a total of three so I can share the connection I have between the two [12:51] I live in a college dorm room with one network jack and we can not use routers or hubs, so I wanna have internet access for both, but I'm not very sure how easy that would be [12:55] any takers on my question? === nictuku [n=yves@ubuntu/member/nictuku] has joined #ubuntu-server [01:05] If you can't use routers or hubs, then your best bet is to get wireless cards for two of your machines and set the third one up as a gateway. [01:06] Oops, you have two machines. Even easier. [01:07] Set up one machine with two network cards. Eth0 connects to jack in wall, eth1 connects to computer 2 through a cross-over cable. Set up computer 1 as your gateway [01:08] With windows, you use internet connection sharing. With linux, it's a little more work. === yogurtthewise [n=yogurt@bb-87-81-167-77.ukonline.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-server === jsgotangco_ [n=jsg123@125.212.120.174] has joined #ubuntu-server [02:26] I want the work, I want to learn more, so doing alot of work is no problem for me. [02:54] umm... k well I installed the lamp server software package in 6.10, I skipped the DNS stuff. I bet I can get that all installed later if I need it. I'm not postive on what I want to do if I want the linux box to share the connection or the windows box. If I do the windows box then I will be able to get help as I go along if I need it, however if I do the linux box I have to know what I am doing before hand seems how I will not have n [02:56] Ok, well I got an error when I tried to install the lamp server package, so it told me to reselect it and try agian, so I selected the DNS too. [02:56] Ok, it gave me "Instlation step failed" again... and I had both of the packages selected this time [02:59] ok, so far so good with no packages selected [03:04] k well it is installed now but no predefined packages... I guess I'm gonna have to do that all manualy === Burgwork [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-server === mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-server [06:44] hi === bawnpa [i=bawnpa@metoroporisu.tty1.com] has joined #ubuntu-server === bawnpa [i=bawnpa@metoroporisu.tty1.com] has left #ubuntu-server ["Leaving"] === Joespower [n=Joespowe@ip70-173-120-149.fv.dl.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-server [07:43] hi, am I in the right place?

[10:55] http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.10/ [10:55] ubuntu-6.10-server-* [10:55] ah, ok [10:56] because the site is not very clear. It is half updated and it seems that the server edition is going to stick with 6.06 LTS [10:57] Well, it's encouraged that server users stick with 6.06 anyway. [10:57] Most server users would prefer stability and 5 years of support over a few new packages, generally. :) [11:07] well, not if you are running an ejabberd server ;) === thefish [n=thefish@unaffiliated/thefish] has joined #ubuntu-server === thefish [n=thefish@dsl-fixed-62-69-44-72.surfdsl.murphx.net] has joined #ubuntu-server === cmazzetti|out [n=chatzill@151.55.100.84] has joined #ubuntu-server === jsgotangco [n=jsg123@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-server === mpathy [n=mm@stgt-d9beb0dc.pool.mediaWays.net] has joined #ubuntu-server [03:21] Hi there.. I asked yesterday if it would be a bad idea to use edgy for my server.. But today I recognized that I perhaps HAVE TO use edgy because there is Postfix 2.3 in it, and from this version I got support for the Dovecot-SASL: http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#server_dovecot [03:22] Or is it really a idea who is REALLY bad? :) [03:22] Tell me about the quality level of the server-specific issues @ edgy :) === thefish [n=thefish@unaffiliated/thefish] has joined #ubuntu-server === tmarble [n=tmarble@192.18.101.5] has joined #ubuntu-server === mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-server === truz_`24 [n=truz_`24@74.129.166.232] has joined #ubuntu-server === ivoks [n=ivoks@ubuntu/member/ivoks] has joined #ubuntu-server [05:21] Hi there! I need to switch to Edgy for recent versions of Postfix and Dovecot.. Are there some serious objections against doing that? [05:21] (on a server) [05:22] I'm not doing it on my machines, but the choice is, obviously, yours. [05:24] infinity: Sure. But are there serious points against doing that? [05:25] 5 years' support on dapper, versus 18 months on edgy. [05:25] Lots of testing and stability fixes in dapper, a more rushed release with edgy. [05:26] And the fact that I, personally, put several man-weeks into dapper's server release, and barely touched it for edgy, cause we had other goals. :) [05:27] But I don't think it should have any *problems*, per se, I just wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it over dapper either. === Pych0n [n=asanta@200.75.87.133] has joined #ubuntu-server [05:27] Hi [05:27] I almosty finished to install the Ubuntu 6.06.1 on a Dell PowerEdge [05:28] infinity: Hmm, okay. Its clear that I use Feisty, the next LTR in april! I think I will go, until then, with Edgy [05:28] Now im configuring the NICs with support for VLANs (+20 VLANS) [05:28] but when the machine starts it takes to much time to setuo the network [05:29] Almost +5 minutes [05:29] 5 years? That means in a few years you have to do support for really much releases..? [05:29] hi [05:30] mpathy: I doubt feisty will be an LTS. [05:30] mpathy: The next one after feisty might be. [05:30] infinity: Really? But as I remember Mark said every second release will be one [05:31] He said no such thing. [05:31] infinity: Hmm okay.. And there is no possibility that Postfix 2.3 gets somehow in dapper-backports? [05:32] A tentative plan was every third or fourth (dapper was our fourth), but we've committed to nothing. [05:32] mpathy: You could file a bug requestin a backport, sure. If it compiles cleanly on dapper. [05:32] infinity: Wher would be the right place to do that? [05:33] The build-deps make it look like it should build on dapper. [05:34] https://launchpad.net/products/dapper-backports/+bugs [05:34] Looks like it's already filed. [05:34] https://launchpad.net/products/dapper-backports/+bug/55599 [05:35] So, follow up to thet bug and give a rationale, if you'd like. [05:35] s/thet/that/ [05:35] infinity: hi [05:35] infinity: would you like to help me ? [05:35] The backports team will vet the report, see if it compiles cleanly, etc, then pass it off to the archive team (me and a few others), and we'll process it. [05:35] Pych0n: This isn't really a support channel. [05:36] Pych0n: That, and I don't do VLANs in Linux, I tend to use real routing and switching equipment, so I might not be very helpful. [05:36] infinity: ok, where is the support channel please ? [05:36] #ubuntu [05:36] There is no server-specific support channel that I know of. [05:37] If I had to guess, though, it's possible you're being bitten by something in /etc/network/if-up.d/ being run (and failing or timing out) for every single one of your 20 VLANs coming up.
