Rather the login prompt is shown a bit earlier than you're probably used to. :-) [12:54] What sort of errors do you get before the rmmod/insmod bit? [12:58] Has anyone gotten a serial console working with Feisty server?

[02:27] actually nevermind [02:27] i'll jus tinstall it from debs and then copy over the bits I need for chrooting [02:40] shawarma: hmm, the errors are like "can't read flags...SIGIOERR" something similar [02:41] benlake: And it's both your interfaces? [02:41] I think it's the e100 that says that, can't remember what the r8169 says [02:42] But both of them are acting up? [02:42] I can reboot, one sec [02:42] yes [02:42] both modules [02:42] That just... odd. [02:43] You could try blacklisting them and loading them manually and see if that makes a difference. [02:43] by loading them manually do you mean modules.conf? [02:43] r00tintheb0x: hmm, you are who I think you are, right? [02:43] or a custom book script? [02:43] That way you'd know if it's because they're loaded to early or perhaps a driver initialisation issue (which does seem unlikely since two different drivers are doing it). [02:43] yes foo :P === r00tintheb0x is working from home. [02:43] benlake: No, manually as in "by hand". [02:44] ok, I'll reboot and give you better errors, and try that [02:44] benlake: It's not really a good time for me, actually. It's almost 3 am here and I've got an early start tomorrow. [02:45] You could open a bug and add whatever debugging info to it you may have and post a link to the bug here. I can take a peek at it tomorrow. [02:46] r00tintheb0x: That could be good or bad... if the woman is behind you yapping their mouth off ... well, I think you get my point. === foo looks for any feminine nicks in here [02:46] :D [02:46] hahah shes on the couch watching the simpsons.

[04:23] no [04:23] should I ? [04:23] that seems odd [04:23] no [04:24] you did "sudo apt-get install update-manager-core" [04:24] then sudo do-release-upgrade [04:25] yes I did [04:26] and I tried sudo bash ; do-release-upgrade .. not that its any different. [04:26] ? :) [04:26] ah... run bash as root [04:26] did you update? [04:26] apt-get update [04:26] prior to installing do-release-upgrade [04:27] and you have only edgy in repo? [04:27] s/in/as a/ [04:27] I have edgy and edgy-updates -security -backports [04:27] so yes, only edgy [04:28] try do-release-upgrade -d [04:28] same, no new release found === ivoks looking at the code [04:29] oh shit. im sorry. I am behind a proxy. I just assumed my apt proxy settings would work for this. [04:30] sorry sorry, its to early for me. [04:30] I've actually seen somebody else say that before [04:30] there's an issue with apt-get because it specifies port 80 to communicate out and some proxies don't like that [04:31] yeah, mine is 8080 [04:31] put, I have my proxy sting in there and it works fine [04:31] disable the proxy if you can and try again [04:31] no, I cant :( ill try and use a wrapper. [04:32] you can configure apt [04:32] in apt.conf [04:32] does do-release-upgrade use the apt settings? [04:32] because I have apt working with my proxy. [04:32] i think it does [04:34] its using the python-apt [04:37] i just did do-release-upgrade on my one and only edgy server [04:38] and it just went, I assume [04:38] painless :D better than mouse clicking :) [04:38] hell yeah that was really painless [04:38] a mouse click has always been an interface bug lol [04:38] hmm, I got nothing. thanks for the help, im going to assume proxy. ill try and get a wrapper working. [04:39] and... exporting HTTP_PROXY didn't help? [04:39] so, I use a mouseless wm on my desktop called wmii , its freaking brilliant. the last bit of mouse I need is cut and paste [04:40] ivoks: you are a genius. so that means its NOT using the apt proxy settings [04:41] yup :) [04:41] like I said to early for me. thanks for the help. [04:41] it's working now? [04:42] yup [04:42] great [04:42] I agree, thanks very much. [04:43] np [04:43] actualy... [04:43] exporting http_proxy doesn't mean that it doesn't read apt.conf [04:43] cause http_proxy variable has higher importance than stuff in apt.conf [04:44] ah, but I have proxy settings in apt.conf that are working for apt-* and aptitude [04:44] i was just speaking theoreticly :) [04:44] ok, thanks.

[07:28] most of my servers are gentoo-based [07:28] but this time I wanted something with binary packages [07:29] i thought long and hard about that. the problem is that i need something i can $ support on as i will not be the one running it all the time. [07:29] first tried ubuntu but the bugs with software raid forced me to try something else [07:29] software raid on linux sucks. [07:29] i just by the hardware [07:29] 3ware [07:29] sahafeez: it doesn't [07:29] if i want software raid the only answer is ZFS [07:29] I use it on many servers [07:30] and it works perfecly [07:30] zfs is available only on solaris based systems and freebsd-7 [07:31] well i have found it to be buggy and the performance is not there. at the end of the day the trouble was not worth the money saved on not getting a 3ware. [07:31] and OS X 10.5 [07:31] i running Solaris @ home for my file server with ZFS. one you use it you will never want to use anything else again [07:31] osx is not yet available [07:32] are you using opensolaris or nexentaos? [07:32] opensolaris on sparc [07:32] never tried it [07:33] when 10.5 comes out of beta i will pick up my 1tb usb disk rack and plug it into my old g4 box as a server and it will just work. [07:33] that is nice. [07:33] I hate osx :p [07:34] i love it, but then again i ran NeXTstep for my desktop for years... [07:34] and i got my 1st mac as a gift with the OS X beta from SJ himself ;) [07:35] so i drink the kool-aid === Burgwork [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-server [07:45] what kernel level is that debian relase?

[10:13] hum... [10:13] l of LAMP means Linux, not LDAP [10:13] i think you will find that the server install has nothing, not even ssh [10:13] bah [10:13] i have ldap on the brian right now [10:14] Yea.. got ssh working last night. In fact I'm irc'ing via ssh into the server then using irssi [10:14] how hard could it be to install ssh? :) [10:14] for FTP, i recommend vsftpd [10:14] sudo aptitude install ssh [10:15] that guide is good. i just started on ubuntu. i am a freebsd, gentoo, solaris guy [10:15] there goes aptitude again :D [10:15] lionel: yes, you're not likely to need lots of ldap servers :) [10:15] is there a diff between that and apt-get [10:15] as getting one working right is hard enough [10:15] w/aptitude if you want to completely remove someting... it works.. apt-get leaves stuff [10:16] server_: apt-get --purge remove doesn't leave anything [10:16] I stand corrected.. Learn something new every day!

[10:19] no [10:19] no, it isn't available in dapper [10:19] dapper has to do the dist-upgrade if I remember correctly [10:19] anyway to see what services are running like on solaris..

[10:26] you should look at distro as a separate operating system [10:26] not as linux (all distros) [10:27] not that easy sometimes. [10:27] cause, what's the diff betwean solaris and linux, except kernel? [10:27] there are major differences [10:27] if you don't count licenses :D [10:27] and different arguments to programs with same names [10:27] solaris was 1st [10:27] :DD [10:28] however that is not the point. [10:28] i really would love to ZFS on linux. that would make me jump up and down for joy [10:28] sun doesn't allow it [10:28] no, GPL does not allow it. [10:28] sun is fine with it. [10:29] the reason that it cannot be in the code is a GPL restriction. [10:29] GPL does not allow for you to link to non-gpl code [10:29] for the most part. that is the reason that nvidia has that kernel loader nub [10:30] ZFS has been ported to freebsd and os x === ivoks_ [n=ivoks@17-246.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-server [10:31] shawarma: looking at #ubuntu-server, do you think it was a good thing to open it for support to? :) [10:33] btw, i am very impressed with ubuntu. as this is the 1st time i have run it. i picked the server over sles and rhel for my network at work and part of the reason was the correct and polite answers in this channel [10:34] well, we are new in support :) [10:34] this was development-only channel before [10:34] correct and polite? [10:35] wow, people really stepped up to the plate ;) [10:35] and.. we do have code of conduct [10:35] well, have you ever tried to get an answer in #gentoo or #openbsd [10:35] sahafeez: no actually heh [10:36] the answers in gentoo are useless and the answers in openbsd are correct and rude [10:36] when i used gentoo, i've never asked anything on #gentoo [10:36] i did once or twice. got over it. [10:37] i do have to admit that i can be a bit rude in openbsd as it is my main os for most things. however the docs are so damn good it gets really annoying when people do not even look at them. [10:38] my biggest issue with ububtu was i did not know were to start, however after getting pointed to the server doc pages i was good to go. [10:38] help.ubuntu.com [10:39] yes, i know. and love it. very well done. [10:39] i am making notes on my pam+samba+ldap setup and hope to contrib them [10:39] i hate those setups [10:40] two passwords for same user [10:40] well done right there is only one password - in ldap [10:40] i rather install nfs client on windows clients :) [10:40] sahafeez: but there are two in ldap [10:40] i am replacing an w2k3 srvr and exchange with ubuntu and opengroupware [10:40] sahafeez: smbpassword and pampassword [10:41] i do not care per-say as long as the tool changes both [10:41] :) [10:42] opengroupware talks to ldap to for email, etc. so i need one location if i am going to make this work. has to work a simple as the ms AD stuff. [10:42] ad is simple, but unreliable... [10:43] windows is windows. i have had the same working setup with no issues for 3 years now. it just started to bork up - thus the move. [10:44] i have always stayed away from things like ubuntu because i have a bad taste in my mouth from debain. [10:44] why? debian is great; thus, ubuntu is great :) [10:44] bah. i think i started with debain pre-sarge [10:44] rpm and redhate was not much better [10:45] i stuck to slackware [10:45] then gentoo [10:45] I always loved slack [10:45] i have my asterisk pbx on it right now. [10:45] lack of a decent package manager made me look at something else [10:45] i always hated gentoo, even while i was using it :) [10:46] i will be moving it to ubuntu if this other setup works. i only want one os [10:46] i will be down to 2 x ubuntu and 1 x openbsd and very happy [10:46] one to rule them all xexexe === _DustWolf [n=CommieWu@89-212-75-6.static.dsl.t-2.net] has joined #ubuntu-server === DustWo208 [n=CommieWu@89-212-75-6.static.dsl.t-2.net] has joined #ubuntu-server [10:48] I need to figure out if 2.6.20 has support for a promise sx4060 yet [10:50] promise sx...? [10:50] ugh, i have been using zfs for so long i forget the format for /etc/exports. ugh...man page here i come [10:50] urgh... i would rather go to store and buy another one; this is something i actualy do :) [10:50] mralphabet: it doesn't support [10:50] 3ware, repeat after me, 3ware [10:50] mralphabet: promise changed firmware [10:50] sahafeez: +++ [10:51] mralphabet: and now it works only with their driver, which they have only for 2.4 [10:51] ebay it, get a 3ware [10:51] sahafeez: it's what I have to work with, doesn't mean I'm happy with it, simply what I have [10:52] ivoks: ;( [10:52] the windows box i am replacing has a promise. not sure if it is part of the issue. [10:52] most probably :D [10:53] 3ware is best for sata devices [10:53] I have 4xide [10:53] smartd works, they even have their own tool for monitoring, which is great [10:53] nfs in zfs - zfs sharenfs=on box/export/home [10:53] mralphabet: 3ware has IDE controlers too :) [10:54] and you are done. no files to edit ;) [10:54] i am going to port it myself ;) === DustWo208 is now known as DustWolf === dj-fu [n=aj@202.89.35.29] has joined #ubuntu-server === server_ [n=server@ip72-197-238-223.sd.sd.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-server [11:22] back.. thanks for the suggestion on using vsftpd. It's now installed and I can connect but I can't upload any files. Can you point me in the right direction? [11:23] /etc/vsftpd.conf [11:23] did you set the right permission on the dir you are uploading to [11:24] that file is well documented, so you understand what you have to change [11:24] it created a directory in the /home/ftp [11:24] sahafeez: by default upload is disabled [11:24] server_: open vsftpd.conf and read it, it's easy [11:24] i changed that in the config file [11:24] what did you change? [11:24] ah, well then. i thought he would have read the config and it would be permissions [11:25] changed local permissions to allow. [11:25] local_enable=YES [11:25] ? [11:25] and: [11:25] write_enable=YES [11:25] yep. [11:25] this will enable local users to upload and use ftp [11:26] not anonymous users [11:26] I logged in as both a password user and anonymous user .. didn't work either way [11:26] when you loged in as 'password' user, did you get you home dir? [11:26] yes [11:27] and you couldn't create files in it? [11:27] no [11:27] what ftp client did you use? [11:27] gftp [11:28] you restarted vsftpd service after changing config? [11:28] yes [11:28] are you sure you have write_enable=YES [11:28] brb.. I'll double check [11:31] yep.. it's enabled.. the config also mentions something about umask is 077 and some ftp clients use 022 [11:31] you should leave umask at 027 or 022 [11:32] ok [11:32] that depends on what you want [11:32] when I log in using a password it dumps me at /home/server [11:32] user is server? [11:32] which is my user name...duh! [11:33] that's ok [11:33] can you download files from ftp? [11:33] I'll check.. brb [11:33] don't tell my you are walking from computer to computer [11:33] use ssh [11:33] Er.. No. use ftp. :-) [11:33] :) [11:34] no.. not walking just finger impaired today. [11:35] it does up and down from the home directory however when I go to /home/ftp nothing... I had missed that I'd changed directories. [11:35] /home/ftp is a ftp "user" directory ? [11:35] dumb question. is there a gui/gnome tool for network card management [11:35] http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2786 - nice [11:36] networkmanager [11:36] server_: no [11:36] thanks [11:36] server_: /home/ftp is for anonymouse users [11:36] ok.. that doesn't work locally. [11:36] of course [11:37] anonymouse users use existing user on linux [11:37] and home of that user - /home/ftp [11:37] use sftp! [11:37] can i move apt-get to apt-get.org and ln apt-get to atitude [11:37] i thing you don't want anonymouse access [11:38] sahafeez: you can do whatever you want, but i would advise such a move :) [11:38] k... I'll have to read the docs to see how to set up a generic password access and lock things to a specific directory. I'm trying to set this up for others to send files to me. [11:38] s/would/wouldn't/ :) [11:38] networkmanger is kde [11:38] sahafeez: not [11:38] knetworkmanager i think [11:39] sahafeez: network-manager is non-GUI [11:39] other is gnome [11:39] shawarma: network-manager-gnome is gnome, and knetworkmanager is kde UI part of it [11:39] ups... [11:39] huh? [11:39] Oh. [11:39] nm [11:39] that was for sahafeez [11:40] sorry [11:40] ah, thanks. learning how to search now with apt [11:40] apt-cache search; but these are #ubuntu related questions :) [11:40] i know...i am reading... [11:41] thanks .. I'll read the docs and google for a while ... === ||arifaX [n=||arifaX@p54B5BE42.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-server [11:56] fabbione: are you there? [12:03] 'night
