[02:20] <sahafeez> how do i tell aptitude to remove everything and not remember configs so when i reinstall it ask all the questions again
[02:26] <dj-fu> you can just tell dpkg to ask you the questions again
[02:26] <dj-fu> dpkg-reconfigure <packagename>
[02:26] <dj-fu> but do dpkg --purge package to uninsall it and remove the configs
[02:26] <sahafeez> ok, thanks
[04:50] <PinkFloyd> Anyone help me get Webmin on my server?

[09:54] <[miles] > morning gentlemen
[09:55] <[miles] > guys, anyone know the base Ubuntu Server install size?
[09:55] <[miles] > in mb
[09:55] <[miles] > a clean install
[09:55] <Burgundavia> 200 or 300mb?
[10:22] <[miles] > aye
[10:22] <[miles] > I recon
[10:33] <buk> Good day.
[10:33] <Burgundavia> hello

[10:34] <[miles] > :D
[10:34] <[miles] > welcome buk
[10:35] <buk> :)
[10:41] <buk> Can squid do reverse proxying?
[10:41] <buk> err, wrong window ;)
[10:41] <Burgundavia> yes
[10:43] <[miles] > buk: did u download the 32bit version by mistake?
[10:53] <buk> not by mistake :)
[10:53] <buk> we have some older hw here ;^)
[10:55] <[miles] > ah ok
[10:55] <[miles] > when you doing your 1st install (test, or whatever)?
[10:55] <[miles] > today?
[10:56] <buk> maybe
[10:56] <buk> just installed 3 suse-10.2 
[10:56] <[miles] > lol
[10:56] <buk> one more or less on the vmware-server wont make a difference ;^)
[10:56] <[miles] > servers?
[10:56] <buk> yeah
[10:56] <buk> upgrading the dmz-boxes
[10:56] <[miles] > k
[10:56] <buk> and moving them to virtual appliances
[10:57] <buk> zypper got pretty usable too btw.
[10:57] <buk> though still pretty slow I'd say
[10:57] <[miles] > zypper?
[10:57] <[miles] > wtf is that
[10:58] <buk> apt4suse ;^)
[10:59] <[miles] > I can't believe your installing 10.2 for servers
[10:59] <buk> what else should I use?
[10:59] <buk> we are suse-based
[10:59] <ivoks_> i can't belive anyone is instaling any version of suse :)
[10:59] <[miles] > yeah
[11:00] <[miles] > but
[11:00] <[miles] > why not SLES?
[11:00] <buk> ivoks_: :oP
[11:00] <[miles] > ivoks_: SUSE is good also, I used it for many many years
[11:01] <[miles] > ok, no distro bashing here
[11:01] <[miles] > ;)
[11:01] <buk> [miles] : we got along with the boxes pretty well in the last years
[11:03] <[miles] > buk: do you feel u depend on YaST tho when setting up the servers?
[11:05] <buk> I rarely use it
[11:05] <[miles] > buk: better
[11:05] <buk> I configure with vim :)
[11:05] <[miles] > h4rdc0r3
[11:06] <[miles] > now, I must go a script something... bbl
[11:57] <buk> is the server installation always without X?
[12:01] <[miles] > yes
[12:01] <[miles] > buk: lol, what u need X for
[12:01] <[miles] > gui junky
[12:02] <[miles] > buk: none of my servers here have x... theres no need for it what so ever
[12:02] <buk> I just talka bout the installation
[12:02] <buk> desktop-installation was X based from LiveCD
[12:02] <[miles] > lol
[12:02] <[miles] > alternate is'nt
[12:02] <[miles] > I dont use the live cd's for desktop
[12:02] <[miles] > I use alternate
[12:03] <buk> mmmh, k
[12:03] <buk> I just got the first link I saw. ;^)
[12:03] <[miles] > aye

[12:03] <[miles] > and of course the reset jeje
[12:04] <buk> how does ubuntu differ users and adminusers?
[12:04] <buk> I create a user during installation, I guess he is allowed for all sudo stuff
[12:04] <[miles] > nod
[12:05] <[miles] > if you want root
[12:05] <[miles] > sudo su -
[12:05] <buk> yeah
[12:05] <[miles] > but, obviously, sudo when you can
[12:05] <buk> we have a bunch of boxes here without any "users" at all
[12:06] <buk> web-, proxy-, mailserver for example
[12:06] <buk> bit uncommon to me
[12:07] <buk> Perfect, how long does he wait until giving up reaching a mirror?
[12:08] <[miles] > wot?
[12:08] <[miles] > buk: whats your sources... modify em if your having probs... gb.
[12:08] <[miles] > for example
[12:09] <buk> I'm installing.
[12:09] <buk> From CD.
[12:09] <buk> I didn't configure any sources
[12:11] <[miles] > buk so what you babaling on about waiting to reach a mirror..
[12:12] <buk> I tried to reach some mirror and later the update server
[12:15] <[miles] > no problems here
[12:16] <buk> tsk, asla installed on a server
[12:16] <[miles] > wot?
[12:17] <[miles] > why u got the sound enabled in the bios
[12:17] <[miles] > lol
[12:17] <[miles] > buk: amateur
[12:17] <[miles] > :P
[12:19] <[miles] > you'll be asking if your joystick will work next
[12:46] <[miles] > buk: you winning?
[12:52] <buk> Configuring Squid atm :)
[12:54] <[miles] > nice nice
[01:03] <[miles] > your used to apt and aptitude yeah?
[01:07] <buk> not really
[01:07] <buk> but I'm used to man ;^)
[01:08] <[miles] > lol
[01:08] <[miles] > aptitude is well sweet
[01:08] <[miles] > I love it
[03:55] <BoostedSS> YO
[03:55] <BoostedSS> ok, I'm running the server dapper version, how do I enable bigmem support?  or how do I tell if it has it enabled?
[03:56] <BoostedSS> I have 5 gig mem in a box and it only shows 3.2
[03:56] <BoostedSS> any clues
[03:57] <[miles] > sorry, no idea
[03:57] <[miles] > but that is a lot of mem
[03:57] <[miles] > lol
[03:57] <BoostedSS> It a vm server
[03:57] <BoostedSS> lol
[03:57] <BoostedSS> seems like I'm inheriting problems lol
[03:57] <BoostedSS> I tried to add another vm to that box and it choked
[03:58] <[miles] > jesus, a vm server with 5gb
[03:58] <[miles] > ?
[03:58] <buk> memory is all you need in a VM-Host.
[03:58] <BoostedSS> Virtual Machine, not voice mail lol
[03:58] <[miles] > :)
[03:58] <buk> CPUs usually idle :)
[03:59] <BoostedSS> yep, do you know buk?
[03:59] <BoostedSS> bios shows the 5 gig, kernel shows 3.2
[03:59] <buk> I joined here 2 hours ago :)
[03:59] <buk> SuSE has a seperate kernel for bigmem
[03:59] <buk> Thats all I can say. *G*
[04:00] <BoostedSS> :(
[04:00] <BoostedSS> lol
[04:01] <[miles] > BoostedSS: you checked the wifi
[04:01] <[miles] > erm
[04:01] <[miles] > wiki
[04:04] <BoostedSS> I'm on my way there now.
[04:04] <[miles] > mmm I dunno if it's shipping with a bigmem kernel
[04:04] <BoostedSS> I just found out some dumb dumb used the desktop version
[04:04] <[miles] > lol
[04:04] <[miles] > ok
[04:04] <BoostedSS> for sure it doesn't have big mem
[04:07] <[miles] > BoostedSS: Im only finding bigiron
[04:07] <[miles] > on 6.06LTS server
[04:08] <[miles] > BoostedSS: what kernel is running atm?
[04:08] <BoostedSS> 2.6
[04:08] <BoostedSS> something
[04:08] <BoostedSS> I'm going to tell my boss to rebuild it LOL
[04:08] <BoostedSS> brb
[04:08] <[miles] > BoostedSS: wait
[04:08] <BoostedSS> kkk, give me a sec, brb
[04:08] <[miles] > BoostedSS: sudo aptitutude install linux-server
[04:09] <BoostedSS> what will that do?
[04:09] <[miles] > install the linux-server kernel
[04:09] <[miles] > it's still available
[04:09] <[miles] > u don't need to do a full reinstall lol
[04:09] <[miles] > why would u need to do that?
[04:09] <[miles] > this ain't windows ;)
[04:11] <[miles] > BoostedSS: then reboot the server, and choose linux-server in grub menu
[04:11] <[miles] > BoostedSS: also check the config 
[04:13] <[miles] > damnnnnnnnnnn fine toon
[04:14] <[miles] > BoostedSS: http://pastebin.ca/470774
[04:17] <BoostedSS> got ya, I'll probably be back :)
[04:18] <[miles] > jeje ok Miranda
[04:19] <BoostedSS> huh?
[04:19] <BoostedSS> Where does that sho?
[04:19] <BoostedSS> I'm a router/ voice/ cisco guy by the way lol
[04:22] <[miles] > yeah yeah
[04:22] <[miles] > in a dress :P
[04:22] <[miles] > with a girls name
[04:22] <[miles] > jeje
[04:22] <[miles] > don't worry, buk 's an alien
[04:24] <BoostedSS> lol
[04:24] <BoostedSS> I haven't worked with linux in a few years lol
[04:25] <[miles] > BoostedSS: ok
[04:25] <[miles] > BoostedSS: try what I'm recommending
[04:25] <[miles] > BoostedSS: did you read the pastebin btw?
[04:25] <[miles] > http://pastebin.ca/470774
[04:26] <BoostedSS> I am going to in about 5 minutes, I just warned users :)
[04:26] <[miles] > BoostedSS: aye, warn em that it wont work :P
[04:26] <[miles] > gonna take coffee
[04:26] <[miles] > ciao
[04:26] <BoostedSS> TY
[04:26] <[miles] > np
[04:48] <[miles] > BoostedSS: work?
[04:50] <BoostedSS> I'm getting hammered right now, give me about 20 more min lol
[04:51] <BoostedSS> I just had a banks IPS module just flip out and started shutting thier network down LOL
[05:50] <BoostedSS> you still there miles?
[05:51] <BoostedSS> anyone know how to get the himem installed?
[06:02] <BoostedSS> yo
[06:10] <mralphabet> bah
[06:14] <BoostedSS> YO, I'm back :)
[06:14] <mralphabet> BoostedSS: sudo apt-cache search linux-image
[06:14] <mralphabet> that will show you all available kernels
[06:16] <BoostedSS> not sure, sorry
[06:17] <mralphabet> BoostedSS: type that in a console
[06:18] <BoostedSS> oh
[06:18] <BoostedSS> hrm.  let me look.
[06:18] <mralphabet> you are on dapper?
[06:19] <BoostedSS> yea, but I think it is the desktop ver, not server
[06:19] <BoostedSS> I did a linux-server install on it , but kinda lost.  I'm a router / cisco guy lol
[06:19] <BoostedSS> the only linux exp I have is asterisk
[06:24] <BoostedSS> I don't see anythign in there that says bigmem or himem in there
[06:26] <mralphabet> in a console, do "cat /boot/config-2.6.15-27-server |grep -i mem" without the quotes (as miles suggested)
[06:28] <mralphabet> in a console, do "dmesg | grep -i version" without the quotes
[06:30] <BoostedSS> ok, back
[06:30] <BoostedSS> next question, I have the right boot config, how do I set grub to boot to it?
[06:31] <mralphabet> how do you know you have the right boot config?
[06:32] <BoostedSS> by doing a cat /boot/"whatever config" |grep -i mem
[06:32] <BoostedSS> it shows that I have the highmem configured on that
[06:35] <mralphabet> sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:35] <mralphabet> there's a default option
[06:35] <mralphabet> it's probably set to 0
[06:35] <mralphabet> set it to whatever line the server kernel is
[06:36] <foo> Besides cutting edge technology with ubuntu, better hardware support - what else does ubuntu have to offer over debian? Quick, I'm trying to convince my employer :)
[06:36] <foo> (and I'm not trying to start a flame war)
[06:36] <ivoks> foo: predictable support cycle
[06:37] <foo> I love ubuntu, just always trying to better my reasoning
[06:37] <foo> ivoks: ah, debian doesn't? Haha. ok, thanks
[06:37] <ivoks> and big companies support it more and more
[06:37] <ivoks> technicaly, there isn't a big difference
[06:37] <foo> You're talking like ubuntu is based off debian or something
[06:37] <foo> What do you mean no big difference?
[06:37] <foo> :P
[06:38] <foo> ivoks: ok, that should be good. Thanks!!
[06:38] <ivoks> ubuntu is based on debian
[06:38] <BoostedSS> mralphabet: if the title is on line 175 of the file instead of the default 0 it should be 175 or should it be the kernel line?
[06:40] <foo> ivoks: oh, </sarcasm>
[06:40] <mralphabet> BoostedSS: it is 0 for the first kernel, 1 for the second kernel, 2 for the third kernel, etc
[06:40] <BoostedSS> ty :)
[06:45] <VR_> hey guys, i can't find the server ISO
[06:45] <ivoks> where did you look for it?
[06:46] <VR_> http://releases.ubuntu.com
[06:46] <VR_> gah!
[06:46] <VR_> i'm blind
[06:47] <VR_> actually, i didn't look there, i looked at cdimage.ubuntu.com
[06:47] <VR_> but.. yeah, found it
[06:48] <VR_> thanks for that subliminal hint, ivoks
[06:48] <ivoks> heh, np
[06:49] <ivoks> it would be great if that would be biggest problems :)
[06:49] <VR_> oh yeah
[06:50] <VR_> i cant decide which desktop environment to use
[06:50] <VR_> for my other machine, that is
[06:52] <ivoks> as we are on -server, i would suggest no-GUI option :)
[06:53] <foo> ivoks: thanks for your input, btw
[06:53] <ivoks> np
[06:54] <foo> ivoks: "Congratulations to all people involved in this deal. Great job everybody! Now, let's take servers too! :)" - hehe, agreed :)
[06:55] <ivoks> :)
[07:15] <r00tintheb0x> Hello all, i have a Intel s845wd1-e motherboard with a onboard RAID controler on it. When i create a RAID array with the hardware RAID software, and try to install RHEL, its seeing two drives instead of one. Any ideas?
[07:17] <ivoks> not a hardware raid
[11:53] <sahafeez> so i just installed a server, but left lvm off. i now want to use it but i cannot find the normal lvm tools. what am i missing
[11:55] <sahafeez> hum, lvm2
[12:02] <sahafeez> wow. this is a pain.
