nospiwhat's the bext linux smtp server?10:23
\shpostfix ;)10:25
nospithanks10:26
\shnospi: but that's only my opinion...some people like sendmail or exim or qmail...depending what experience they have..so you have to decide for yourself :)10:28
nospiwhat's easier?10:29
nospisendmail?10:29
nospiim usin php-fusion, just need it for my website10:29
nospiahh no actaully i need smtp for me email spoofer10:29
nospiso i don't have to do it manually10:29
\shnospi: as I said, depending on the experience...read the documentation of postfix, and it's easy, learn m4 and sendmail is easy ;)10:31
ajmitchlearning m4 is the hard part10:39
ajmitch& all the various tweaks for sendmail10:39
=== ajmitch just uses exim
\shajmitch: thinking of the past, when sendmail was the leader of the pack,-)10:45

nospimralphab1t, postfix is confusing01:44

shawarmaMaybe we should create a channel where server related support questions are actually ontopic..02:23
shawarmaWell, actually we should probably move development discussion elsewhere. You know: principle of least surprise.02:24
ivokswell... i would suggest moving development to ubuntu-devel02:25
ivokssince, there is a low traffic about ubuntu-server development02:25
shawarmaThat's also an option. It's not like there's a lot of development discussion going on here anyway.02:25
ivoksright, and #ubuntu is not good place for support for ubuntu-server02:26
shawarmaDefinitely not.02:26
shawarmaI don't blame people for coming here asking support questions. I totally understand it.02:27
shawarmaIs there a u-s mailing list? lists.ubuntu.com says no, but "/msg chanserv info #ubuntu-server" suggests otherwise.02:27
ivokseven better, support for ubuntu-server should be professional :D02:28
shawarmaWe could start charging an entry fee.02:28
shawarma:-)02:28
mralphabet!02:28
shawarmathat's odd. http://lists.ubuntu.com/ doesn't list it, but https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server exists02:29
shawarmafabbione: You're listed as the owner.. Why is it hidden?02:29
ivoksto avoid support questions? :)02:30
shawarmaPossibly.02:30
shawarmaBut how to get the proper people to join, then?02:31
ivoksubuntu-server needs marketing :)02:32
shawarmaSure does.02:33
ivokshm... plans for next LTS?02:33
ivoksLTS should have Roadmap02:33
ivoksimho02:33
ivoksi was thinking about disccusing this on mailing list02:34
ivoksthere is a problem with ubunntu-server :/02:35
ivoksdapper, of course02:35
shawarmawhich is?02:35
ivokslatest dapper kernel supports more hardware than installer kernel02:35
ivoksand new MBs come with newer Intel gigabit cards02:35
ivokswe should update couple of drivers in kernel02:36
shawarmaAh, that's one of the purposes of the point releases, isn't it? To fix this?02:36
ivokslike e1000, 3w-9xxx, etc...02:36
ivoksyes, so we should have a roadmap02:36
shawarmaThere was a spec about this for Edgy, I think. Don't remember what happened to it.02:36
ivoksso we could know when is next .202:36
shawarmaivoks: Oh, I thought you meant a roadmap for the next LTS as in Feisty+2 or whatever it's going to be.02:37
ivoksshawarma: next LTS is far away02:37
ivokswe should act on 6.0602:37
shawarmaDefinitely.02:37
shawarmaThat makes much more sense.02:37
ivoksi've sent patch for 3w-9xxx02:38
shawarmaI don't think the next LTS release is *that* far away. It's not going to be 5 years. There's bound to be some overlap.02:38
ivoksbut we should have some way of updating all modules02:38
shawarmaivoks: Yes. I'll see if I can find that spec.02:38
ivoksshawarma: imho, it should go out every 2-2,5 years02:38
shawarmaivoks: Agreed.02:38
shawarmaivoks: Hence, feisty+2. :-)02:39
ivoksright02:39
ivoksbut, i'm installing 2-3 ubuntu servers every month02:39
shawarmaivoks: https://blueprints.beta.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/driver-backports02:39
ivoksRestricted Launchpad test site02:40
ivokshuh?02:40
shawarmaAh, remove the beta part. Sorry.02:40
ivoksright02:40
shawarmaI thought they fixed that.. Oh, well.02:40
ivoksthat's it... almost :/02:41
ivoksthis is for desktop02:41
ivoksups... not :)02:41
shawarma..though it does not mention the installer in any way.02:42
ivokshttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubiquity/DriverBackports02:42
ivoksyes, but we have a situation where installer kernel doesn't support IDE controler, and latest kernel in release supports it02:43
shawarmaYes, that's not good enough.02:43
ivoksof course, there is hardware unsupported both in installer and latest kernel02:43
shawarmaOh!02:43
shawarmahttps://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/ubiquity-driver-updates02:44
ivoksbut that's for ubiquity :)02:45
ivokswe need this for d-i02:45
shawarmaTrue. I don't know how they implemented it.02:45
shawarmaMaybe it's easily transferable.02:45
ivoksit's already possible to include driver in d-i, from floppy02:45
fabbioneshawarma: no idea.. i will look at it after lunch02:46
ivoksbut once you upgrade kernel...02:46
ivoks:/02:46
shawarma"Installations using d-i are not handled by this process, so no .udeb packages need to be provided by vendors."02:46
shawarmaDarn.02:46
ivokswhat would be great if we could have someting like /lib/modules/isv02:47
ivoksand /lib/modules/2.6.15-2x-server/ would somehow include it02:47
ivoksand, when one installs ubuntu lts to new hardware02:48
ivoksinserts floppy, which containes modules02:48
ivoksthose modules are saved in /lib/modules/isv02:48
ivoksand every time you upgrade to new kernel, you have those modules02:48
ivoksthat could be done with ln :)02:57
fabbioneso ok..02:59
fabbionei am logged in the admin interface03:00
fabbionedoes anybody know how to uncloack the list?03:00
shawarmaYes. 03:00
shawarma2 sec.03:00
fabbioneshould appear now i think03:01
shawarmaUnder "restrictions"03:01
fabbioneit's already there03:01
shawarmaOh. Yes, it's there now.03:01
fabbioneok03:01
fabbioneso i need people that can moderate the list03:01
fabbioneany volunteer?03:01
fabbionethere is an endless backlog03:02
shawarmaOh, it's moderated?03:02
fabbioneyes like any other mailing list03:02
fabbioneor almost03:02
ivoksjust drop anything that doesn't come from non-member :)03:02
shawarmaHow many posts a day? Roughly.03:02
ivoksshawarma: 0 :)03:02
fabbionedunno..03:02
shawarmaHow many in the backlog right now?03:02
fabbioneivoks: who is a member can just post freely03:02
fabbioneno idea?03:03
ivoksfabbione: right, i know03:03
shawarmaif it's no more than 10-15 posts a day, I can do it.03:04
fabbioneshawarma: i don't even think there are that many03:04
shawarmafabbione: Cool. Sign me up.03:05
fabbioneshawarma: ok.. i need to know with what email are you signed there03:05
shawarmash@linux2go.dk03:05
fabbioneok....03:05
fabbionei guess it's enough i tick the mod check box to make you a moderator, right?03:06
fabbionehmm no03:06
shawarmano?03:06
fabbioneah here it is03:06
shawarmaHeh... I think I've gone through the first 100 messages or so and if I had a nickle for each legitimate mail in that backlog so far... I'd have a nickle. :-)03:19
