[07:41] <Catshrimp> Hm, anyone about with a couple spare minutes?  I've been trying to figure this problem out for a couple weeks now.
[07:41] <Catshrimp> I'm trying to get fluxbox installed on the system (which works), but the fglrx drivers don't seem to take effect upon install
[07:44] <Catshrimp> the fglrx driver works just fine with a full installation.  But that's pointless and a waste of diskspace and resources.
[05:10] <Lunar_Lamp> I want to install ubuntu server on a machine with no floppy or cdrom drive. I can however netboot.
[05:10] <Lunar_Lamp> How would I go about this?
[05:21] <Lunar_Lamp> Ok, I found a guide here:
[05:21] <Lunar_Lamp> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/QuickNetboot
[05:21] <Lunar_Lamp> When it says to edit options regarding dnsmasq it doesn't say in which file to do this...
[05:21] <Lunar_Lamp> /etc/dnsmasq.conf appears to be a different format
[05:27] <mralphabet> Lunar_Lamp: there was just an article about pxe and installing ubuntu with something that could netboot
[05:27] <mralphabet> let me find that
[05:27] <Lunar_Lamp> oo:-)
[05:27] <Lunar_Lamp> Thanks
[05:28] <mralphabet> http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_pxe_install_server
[05:28] <mralphabet> that installs a PXE server on another ubuntu linux box
[05:29] <mralphabet> using that, you can install ubuntu (or other distro's) via dhcp
[05:29] <mralphabet> basic concept applies to other OS's
[05:33] <Lunar_Lamp> Hmm, my router is a dhcp server.
[05:33] <Lunar_Lamp> Hopefully that won't cause problems...
[05:34] <Lunar_Lamp> However, I'm getting this problem:
[05:34] <Lunar_Lamp> option domain-name-servers 145.253.2.75, 193.174.32.18;

[05:34] <Lunar_Lamp>         option routers 192.168.0.1;
[05:34] <Lunar_Lamp> }
[05:34] <Lunar_Lamp> Er, sorry, I didn;t mean to paste that.
[05:34] <mralphabet> you will probably need to disable the router dhcp
[05:34] <Lunar_Lamp> # /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart
[05:34] <Lunar_Lamp> dhcpd self-test failed. Please fix the config file.
[05:34] <Lunar_Lamp> The error was: 
[05:34] <Lunar_Lamp> (it doesn't give me any error though)
[05:34] <mralphabet> look in /var/log/messages
[05:38] <Jassossovinik> Hmm
[05:59] <Away_Lamp> I'm still having problems with my dhcpd.conf
[05:59] <Away_Lamp> :-/
[06:05] <mralphabet> google ubuntu dhcp error

[06:06] <Lunar_Lamp> I found that :-)
[06:06] <Lunar_Lamp> What's wrong with that netmask?!
[06:06] <mralphabet> no {?
[06:07] <Lunar_Lamp> subnet 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
[06:07] <Lunar_Lamp> That's the line in the file
[06:08] <mralphabet> okay . .. and . . .
[06:09] <mralphabet> that means that subnet runs from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.255
[06:10] <Lunar_Lamp> Is that wrong then?
[06:11] <mralphabet> no
[06:11] <mralphabet> pastebin your config file
[06:12] <Lunar_Lamp> http://www.pastebin.it/index.php?id=2590
[06:13] <mralphabet> range 192.168.2.10 192.168.0.49
[06:13] <Lunar_Lamp> Hmm, I've been googling, and I think I need to tell it to not look at "eth0" but to look at "eth1" instead.  However, the file I was told to do that in does not exist - possibly due to difference in setup to whatever distro that was on?
[06:13] <Lunar_Lamp> Still gives the error after changing that 
[06:13] <mralphabet> it's difficult for a dhcp server to have a -2 class c
[06:14] <mralphabet> should be range 192.168.2.10 192.168.2.49
[06:14] <Lunar_Lamp> Yeah, I just edited that and the erorr still occurs identically.
[06:14] <mralphabet> error in config?
[06:15] <Lunar_Lamp> Where is the config file?
[06:15] <mralphabet> the error, what does the error say? same "Configuration file errors encountered -- exiting"
[06:15] <mralphabet> ?

[06:16] <Lunar_Lamp> Yeah, ok, I thought you meant a different config file.
[06:17] <Lunar_Lamp> I feel like I should be telling my machine to check on eth1 not eth0 though - but don't know where.
[06:17] <mralphabet> and you are using "/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart"?
[06:18] <Lunar_Lamp> No, when I did that I got an "error is:" and no info.
[06:18] <Lunar_Lamp> I got the error message by doing /usr/sbin/dhcpd3
[06:18] <mralphabet> hrm

[06:25] <Lunar_Lamp> Thanks!
[06:25] <Lunar_Lamp> :-)
[08:54] <gpd> fresh install of ubuntu-server with lamp option.  Installed phpmyadmin but php not active by default?
[09:11] <lionel> gpd: I do not think that lamp option install phpmyadmin by default
[09:11] <lionel> are you sure ?
[10:30] <gpd> no - I installed phpmyadmin after installation -- but when going to localhost/phpmyadmin I got a 'save as' dialog.  I subsequently installed libapache2-mod-php5 and now it behaves as expected
[10:34] <Burgwork> if installing a package fails to make it work, it is a bug
[10:35] <gpd> i was a little disappointed - esp since in the old days a simple apt-get install phpmyadmin would be enought to give you a lamp server :|
