[12:53] <kupesoft> I just set up a serial console (/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 38400 vt100), but it doesn't seem to be an interactive shell (I only get stuff after a line-ending is sent)... is that normal?
[12:54] <kupesoft> I want to make a "headless" linux server,
[12:54] <kupesoft> ubuntu, even...
[01:07] <mralphabet> kupesoft: don't you have ip on the box?
[01:08] <kupesoft> Yes, but what happens if I screw up the networking by accident?
[01:08] <kupesoft> mralphabet: Is that how serial consoles work (not interactive?)
[01:08] <mralphabet> well don't do that
[01:09] <kupesoft> mralphabet: /
[01:09] <mralphabet> ;)
[01:09] <kupesoft> mralphabet: ;/
[01:09] <kupesoft> I don't know why it won't work properly,
[01:09] <mralphabet> to be honost, I have never hooked up serially to a linux box so I couldn't tell you
[01:10] <mralphabet> http://www.ubuntux.org/setting-up-a-serial-console
[01:11] <kupesoft> mralphabet: I followed those instructions exactly...
[01:12] <mralphabet> then I am not sure what else to suggest, like I said, I haven't had to use a serial connection before.
[01:12] <mralphabet> others may have better imput
[01:13] <mralphabet> input even
[01:44] <kupesoft> I guess I need to turn off serial buffering,
[01:44] <kupesoft> using setserial?
[03:21] <kupesoft> I sort of got it...
[03:21] <kupesoft> My USB-to-serial device only seems to accept I/O on a line-buffered basis. A quick fix is issuing the command, "stty cbreak < /dev/ttyUSB0 > /dev/ttyUSB0 2>&1". What's the underlying problem and how can I fix it?
[07:01] <eamonn> hi all. I'm testing feisty-server on a new system I just built. Is it ok to discuss here or is there a ubuntu-server+1 channel somewhere?
[07:02] <eamonn> nevermind, sorry, I just read the announcement on the channel. I'll go over to #ubuntu.
