It says that is being kept back [01:51] Do I need to sudo aptitude dist-upgrade [01:52] Or is the standard way to upgrade different for the command line? Maybe 2.6.20.12 is as far as the server distribution has gone? [01:53] ohhh...and what irc client should I use from cli? Using epic now, but are people using something lese more typically? [01:56] 18:52 < martalli|cli> Do I need to sudo aptitude dist-upgrade [01:56] yes [01:57] When do I know to do that...from the gui, the update manager suggests it only every so often [01:57] server? gui? [01:57] My understanding is that a dist-upgrade may downgrade or delete packages [01:57] what version of server did you install? [01:58] mralphabet: I have mostly used the gui for desktop use...so I am trying to picture whether updates shoudl always be dist-upgrade or upgrade and when I shoudl decide [01:59] Now I am working with a server install. I'm pretty comfortable working with the cli, but a completely cli system is new for me (of course, there was college back in 1989, but I didn't administer those machines =) [01:59] no problem [02:00] personally I use update / upgrade 99% of the time until there is a package held back that I want [02:00] then I use dist-upgrade and make sure it's not going to do anything untoward [02:00] mralphabet - I installed 7.04 beta (2.6.20.12 kernel) [02:01] mralphabet - that sounds reasonable...it is just a matter of watching what apt-get or aptitude is telling me [02:01] martalli|cli: as you should be anyway ;) [02:02] yes indeed...i guess I'm not using the cli because I just like to watch the (windows/apple/ubuntu) gui updater do its work =) [02:03] heh [02:03] Im just up to a little project - turning a p2-300 machine into an mpd jukebox for our phone server/pbx [02:05] How can I get a help dialog in vim? I want to find out how to cut/paste or copy/paste [02:06] I figure, its time to move past nano. Maybe I'm wrong [02:12] ctrl insert / shift insert [02:12] this in ssh? or something else [02:12] or you can do yy [02:13] or 5yy to copy 5 lines [02:13] p to paste [02:13] I'm logged in directly (but eventually this will just be a headless server [02:13] with ssh) [02:14] No, I wanted to copy like two words and paste it in a few spots [02:14] I did find the online help file (thank you, links2 lol =) [02:14] FOr some reason, it isn't included on the vim-tiny/server install [02:14] I guess they expect I know how to use vi lol [02:14] heh, I always do it from terminal so [ctrl|shft] ins works for me ;) [02:15] Hey, where I can I change this from dhcp to define a specific address? [02:15] That way I won't have to log into the firewall to chase down what address it got from the dhcp server? [02:16] ./etc/network/interfaces [02:16] thx [02:17] Ahah, man interfaces makes it pretty clear === mpd [n=mpd@cm-ilsttn236.madisontelco.com] has joined #ubuntu-server === mpd is now known as martalli|cli [02:42] mralphabet - thanks for your help. That was pretty easy to change...compared to the gui is was like magic [02:43] Doing it on the gui (i think mdv), it took something like a minute befroe on this same machine [02:43] (changing from dhcp to static address) [02:44] np === Innatech [n=daf@netblock-72-25-97-119.dslextreme.com] has joined #ubuntu-server === dthacker [n=dthacker@ip68-107-233-209.om.om.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-server [05:09] Hi, I'm running edgy server.

[02:21] probably not. why? :-) [02:22] Nafallo: It looks to me like my stock edgy install just has ntpdate, and not ntp. But I haven't done much digging yet.. [02:23] dthacker: edgy has ntp-server and stuff. the old packagenames. [02:23] ah, ok.

[04:08] usb disconnect adress XX...,HP virtual keyboard ...., new full speed USB device......, none of it looks like "error,fatal,panic...." [04:11] andel7: are you using a USB keyboard? [04:11] No idea. You might have better luck in #ubuntu. It's not really a server issue even though you're using the server edition. [04:11] nope - the keyboard is ps2 [04:12] andel7: any USB devices? [04:12] the usb is pressent of course but i'm not using it .... [04:13] andel7: Is there something like ilo in it? [04:13] yep [04:13] could you login to that and see it it's acting up? [04:13] but i'm not connected through ILO [04:14] andel7: understood. I was thinking that you had a bad USB device attached. That must not be the case. [04:14] "HP Virtual keyboard" could be i virtual keyboard from ilo. [04:14] ok....but i think there is no way to turn off" the ilo..... [04:15] i feel more like a driver issue - i'll try the 6.10 [04:15] andel7: that my not be necessary. Try logging in to it and see if it gives you any hints.

[05:46] how can i load a network interface module to the installation - can u give me some url? === ivoks [n=ivoks@6-158.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-server [05:55] dballester: administration of raw devices? [05:56] well [05:58] commming from redhat world, I can define relations between physical partitions and raw devices ( /dev/raw/raw1 -> /dev/sda1 for example ). Then one startup script executes the bindings with raw command [06:00] dballester: interesting, that's not something I've seen before [06:00] sda1 is a raw device :) [06:01] ivoks, I know [06:05] so, you just want to create links? [06:05] mralphabet, to get an idea http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.dc30119_1501/html/installnx/BEIGJJEI.htm [06:06] now seems that redhat is moving to the use of udev instead of raw command [06:06] but i was trying to look for a simple examples on how to 'do the same' under ubuntu === mipe [n=mipe@p5B01C5EB.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-server [06:08] dballester: interesting, thanks for the link [06:09] raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sda1 [06:09] you can read more about raw partitions management ( I repeat, seems to be the 'old way' now ) in any RedHat Admin pdf. Is the way thay we used to manage raw partitions for oracle datafiles [06:10] ah.... [06:11] I'm still reading the sybase doc, but I have to wonder if there is really that much of a performance gain [06:11] ivoks, the 'problem' is then i need to create some type of script to manage raw partitions and convert it to ubuntu init to be launched at correct time when machine boots [06:11] mralphabet, yes [06:11] you bypass all OS filesystem management [06:11] there is gain [06:12] on ext3, i would say around 20%, IIRC [06:12] wow [06:12] yes [06:13] this is why is not strange to see oracle datafiles under raw devices on the majority of unix flavors ( even with fc storage ) === andel7 [n=Lev@64.14.51.132] has joined #ubuntu-server [06:13] this brings some other issues, but, yes, it should be faster [06:13] pros: speed [06:13] cons: no backup :D [06:13] ivoks, false :) [06:13] hehe [06:14] you can dd it, yes... [06:14] best way ( i'm only talking about Oracle ) : rman [06:14] the second more 'rude' is what you say, dd [06:15] so, no bacula and other fancy stuff [06:15] rman now is the best tool to backup/restore oracle database [06:15] but ok, this is solved on oracle level [06:15] I REALLY love bacula [06:15] despite tivoli, veritas... :) [06:15] this is something we should think about, since we wouold love to see oracle ceritified for ubuntu [06:15] bacula rulez. [06:15] bacula, bacula and bacula :) [06:16] but now we have 2 problems [06:16] i will take a look at it on redhat === dthacker uses raw devices for informix on AIX, informix will run on linux raw devices as well... [06:17] dballester: bacula won't backup raw devices? [06:18] 1 .- rman can 'talk' directly to storage device via propietary vendor library ( libobk provided by tivoli, veritas...) [06:18] dthacker: bacula client needs to read data... [06:18] dthacker: iirc, it can' read raw [06:18] 2.- Oracle recently presented is own enterprise backup solution ( not only related to oracle products ) [06:19] hmmmm. [06:19] And i think that oracle will not be interested on offer rman support for bacula integration :/ [06:20] we would love to see oracle, but not do everything to get it :) [06:20] dthacker, the 'problem' with raw partitions is that only the applications that uses this raw partition knows how the data is stored [06:20] right [06:20] informix has two utiliites, one of them is self contained, but the other writes to storage managers [06:21] dthacker, surely, is the only way to make some type of backup of the data stored in raws :) [06:21] but I also doubt they are interested in writing to bacula, because IBM would rather sell TSM [06:21] of course [06:21] but it's an interesting scenario [06:22] think about a company that has been doing backups with tsm ( Tivoli ) or veritas... for several years ( > 3 ) [06:22] like mine. Then they moved to CommVault [06:23] buying hardware, tape libraries and tapes [06:24] yes dthacker but is compatible a yerarly full backup made 2 years ago with tsm recoverable actually with CommValut or another product ? I think no [06:24] this fears a lot of companies to make a movement to adopt another solution [06:24] bacula primary target should be new backup solution implementation [06:25] it's the only way to go inside enterprise [06:25] like my little linux universe at work (about 50 machines) [06:25] :) [06:26] I am just underway on a bacula implementation. === CarlFK [n=carl@c-24-13-53-221.hsd1.il.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-server [06:26] the big difference is that using bacula you will know without a doubt how is stored every single byte of your backups [06:26] dthacker, me too [06:27] and will use DVD as backup volume.. ahem... don't ask me why, i'm trying to understand it too :P [06:27] bbl, time to beat on postfix some more [06:29] mralphabet, if actually doesn't exist something similar to rawdevices script under ubuntu don't worry, redhat is moving to udev and rawdevices will disappear http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_105_9616.shtm [06:31] hehe [06:31] so, redhat follows development of new technologies :) [06:31] yep :) [06:31] oracle is doing the same [06:32] moving to DIRECT_IO [06:32] we should just write rules for udev === CarlFK [n=carl@c-24-13-53-221.hsd1.il.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-server [06:32] raw devices seems that will die [06:33] i don't think so [06:34] there is no reason for it to die [06:47] ivoks, well, you will do the same with udev [06:47] and vendors are using new libaries [06:48] should "postfix" reload pick up changes to /etc/postfix/main.cf? [06:49] "postfix reload" [06:51] yes [06:51] added restrictions are not shown, Cyntaks Airer strikes again! [06:52] ah, I see it in mail.log. pebkac [06:52] as always :) === zenrox [n=zenrox@pool-71-115-227-252.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-server [06:56] ivoks, sorry, no DIRECT_IO, O_DIRECT [06:57] http://kevinclosson.wordpress.com/2007/02/23/oracle-direct-io-brought-to-you-by-deranged-monkeys/ [06:58] well i will try the udev way to bind to partitions to raw devices under ubuntu [06:58] and see if i can gain some I/O speed with vmware clients [06:58] :) [06:59] is a thest [06:59] *test [06:59] the bind will be done against logical volume :) [06:59] I tried to do the same with ORacle ASM disks and worked :D [07:05] argh, postfix reload shows ok in the mail.log but my single change to main.cf does not show. [07:08] dthacker: /etc/init.d/postfix reload does postfix quiet-reload [07:08] and this is something that works [07:10] worth a shot.... [07:11] nope, something is borked [07:12] I just added smtpd_helo_required = yes, but postconf -d still shows no [07:16] dthacker: you want to talk to lamont in #ubuntu-devel [07:16] he maintains postfix [07:16] fabbione: tnx [07:17] just keep the noise low because we are trying to get Release Candidate out [07:21] hm... [07:22] yup! Cannot open master raw device '/dev/rawctl' :/ [07:23] modprobe raw [07:24] bingo :) [07:24] dthacker: interesting... [07:25] this bug is in debian [07:27] ivoks: I'm back to user error. [07:29] mmhh raw devices needs more work in Ubuntu :/ [07:29] dthacker: check this out [07:29] postconf -e 'smtpd_helo_required = yes' [07:29] postconf -d | grep helo_required [07:29] smtpd_helo_required = no [07:36] dthacker: maybe it's on purpose... [07:37] dthacker: i've read that 50% of MTAs don't work with postfix if that is enabled [07:38] ivoks: I may set it to warn for awhile. [07:38] bbl, being called to lunch === FlyingSquirrel33 [n=jared@exchange2.dglaw.com] has joined #ubuntu-server [08:00] my server is still on hoary, and when I do a apt-get dist-upgrade it doesn't add any packages. Any ideas? [08:02] hoary is unsupported for 6 months already [08:02] breezy is also unsupported [08:02] there's no way? [08:02] no [08:03] 6.06 (dapper) is supported for 5 years [08:03] you should upgrade to it [08:03] get a breezy install CD and upgrade to breezy [08:03] then upgrade to dapper [08:11] see you [08:12] ivoks:great! thanks, I think I have one around! [08:23] how do I go about upgrading to breezy with the CD? [08:23] FlyingSquirrel33: you can also upgrade from the net.. [08:23] no need of a CD [08:23] but for sure you need to make it in 2 steps [08:24] hoary -> breezy -> dapper [08:24] and breezy will be unsupported in 2 days or so [08:25] fabbione: when I do a apt-get dist-upgrade it doesn't add any packages [08:26] what am I missing? [08:26] did you change sources.list ? [08:26] and did you do apt-get update [08:26] ? [08:26] oh, then there's still time :) [08:26] fabbione: I've heard changing the sources.list breaks things sometimes [08:27] FlyingSquirrel33: i beg you pardon? and how are you supposed to upgrade then? [08:27] you have to change it to upgrade it [08:29] well, I'm no expert, but I've been told to use gksudo "update-manager -c -d" [08:30] and that the other is not the "correct" way. I could be wrong, [08:30] FlyingSquirrel33: if you are on a server there is no such thing as gksudo or update-manager in hoary [08:30] fabbione: I realize that. I assumed that dist-upgrade is more or less the same. [08:30] it is, more or less [08:30] up to dapper dist-upgrade is good enough [08:31] dapper -> edgy might be a bit rough [08:31] after you change sources.list [08:31] edgy -> feisty has the update-manager for server [08:31] fabbione: i think he would be better of with dapper than edgy for server [08:31] or desktop even [08:31] but you need to change sources.list [08:31] ivoks: for sure he wants dapper [08:31] so do i [08:31] my server is still on breezy [08:32] feisty <3 :-) [08:32] i had no time to upgrade it in over a year === fabbione feels bad about it [08:33] and i am sure it will exploit the only corner case for everything on lvm on raid that hasn't been tested in dapper [08:33] fabbione: ok, so I'll do it one step at a time and use dist-upgrade each time I change the sources.list.

I tried deleting the deb so it would download it again, but it didn't make a difference. Is there a way to trouble-shoot this? [10:46] FlyingSquirrel33: that can be several reasons.. keep it as last.. [10:46] keep doing dist-upgrade until lvm2 is the last one left to upgrade === mipe [n=mipe@96-24-124-83.dsl.3u.net] has joined #ubuntu-server === jhutchins [n=jonathan@64-151-34-11.dyn.everestkc.net] has joined #ubuntu-server
