[01:34] <theacolyte> Upgrading ubuntu server = the same as with the desktop edition?
[01:34] <theacolyte> i.e. dist-upgrade/
[01:35] <Nafallo> dist-upgrade is the fallback method know.
[01:36] <Nafallo> update-manager-core has do-release-upgrade :-)

[06:14] <theacolyte> shawarma.:| still stuck... bout 30 minutes now
[06:17] <shawarma> theacolyte: Which version of Ubuntu?
[06:17] <theacolyte> edgy
[06:17] <theacolyte> going to feisty
[06:17] <shawarma> ok.
[06:19] <theacolyte> shawarma.:| any ideas? or do I just force the dist-upgrade to end?
[06:20] <shawarma> Not sure, really. I can't imagine why setupcon would hang like that.
[06:20] <shawarma> Gimme a sec.
[06:20] <theacolyte> No problem
[06:21] <shawarma> theacolyte: Oh... That's interesting.
[06:21] <theacolyte> shawarma.:| what is? hehe
[06:23] <shawarma> theacolyte: Heh. Just looking at setupcon code.
[06:23] <theacolyte> hehe
[06:24] <shawarma> Have you changed anything in /etc/default/console-setup?
[06:24] <shawarma> What is ACTIVE_CONSOLES set to?
[06:24] <theacolyte> Nope
[06:24] <theacolyte> ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6] "
[06:24] <shawarma> Please do "sh -c 'echo /dev/tty[1-6] '" 
[06:25] <shawarma> And paste it here.
[06:25] <theacolyte> shawarma.:| /dev/tty1 /dev/tty2 /dev/tty3 /dev/tty4 /dev/tty5 /dev/tty6
[06:26] <shawarma> Er.... That weird .:| bit is not part of the output, right?
[06:26] <theacolyte> right, that's just my nick completion... spend a lot of time in #cisco :P
[06:26] <shawarma> Alright. :)
[06:27] <shawarma> Please do a 'ls -l /proc/2519/fd'
[06:27] <shawarma> No, actually:
[06:27] <shawarma> Please do a 'ls -l /proc/2519/fd/1'
[06:28] <theacolyte> l-wx------ 1 root root 64 2007-05-09 09:27 /proc/2519/fd/1 -> /dev/tty1
[06:28] <shawarma> Anything interesting on tty1?
[06:29] <theacolyte> Yeah actually...
[06:29] <theacolyte> keyboard isn't working on tty1 (local to the machine)
[06:29] <theacolyte> seems to be locked
[06:30] <shawarma> Hmm... Don't know what that could be. Just CTRL-C the upgrade, I guess. 
[06:30] <shawarma> And start it again.
[06:30] <theacolyte> haha
[06:31] <theacolyte> i ctrl-c'd it... and it continued
[06:31] <theacolyte> inc pastebin
[06:31] <theacolyte> http://internetworkpro.org/pastebin/495
[06:31] <theacolyte> by the way... that mdadm error worries me
[06:32] <theacolyte> Errors were encountered while processing:
[06:32] <theacolyte> console-setup
[06:32] <theacolyte> ubuntu-minimal
[06:33] <shawarma> The error is because of the console-setup failing actually. It probably didn't get around to upgrading udev which contains that file. When you rerun the upgrade, it should be fine.
[06:33] <shawarma> Just try it again.
[06:33] <theacolyte> trying sudo apt-get -f install, but it seems to be crashing on it again
[06:35] <theacolyte> shawarma.:| yup, same thing...
[06:35] <theacolyte> root 17032 0.1 0.2 4904 2560 pts/1 S+ 09:34 0:00 /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 14 --configure console-setup ubuntu-minimal
[06:35] <shawarma> theacolyte: I'm really can't guess what would be wrong with your tty1, sorry.
[06:36] <theacolyte> Let me try to reboot... it's not really production so I'm safe
[06:36] <shawarma> Also, I need to run off now.
[06:36] <theacolyte> No problem
[06:36] <theacolyte> thanks for your help
[06:36] <shawarma> Before you do, try apt-get install udev
[06:36] <theacolyte> just goes back to console-setup
[06:36] <shawarma> Ok.
[08:22] <aleka> Anyone active?
[08:22] <mralphabet> nope
[08:22] <aleka> I asked this question in #ubuntu and was refrred here...
[08:22] <aleka> :) mralphabet 
[08:23] <ivoks_> about?
[08:23] <aleka> Here goes.... I just moved my webserver to port 80 and not even a week and my apache logs are being filled with IIS exploit attacks... I have tried a mod_rewrite to redirect them which does not seem to be working...
[08:24] <aleka> my questions are... If this has happened to anyone here, which am sure it has... how they dealt with it...
[08:24] <ivoks_> hehe
[08:24] <aleka> and How I can ban a specific IP using iptables
[08:24] <ivoks_> i ignore it
[08:24] <mralphabet> well, if you are running apache, IIS exploits don't really hurt you
[08:24] <ivoks_> iptables -A INPUT -s IP -j DROP
[08:24] <aleka> I can ignore it... but every "attack" is junk I don't need in my logs
[08:25] <aleka> ivoks_: do I need to name the CHAIN it is going to.. or that format will do?
[08:26] <aleka> sorry.. am not good at these things, if I seem to be asking stupid Qs 
[08:26] <ivoks_> that'll do that what you need
[08:26] <ivoks_> or REJECT instead of DROP
[08:26] <ivoks_> DROP will timeout, while REJECT will close connection
[08:27] <aleka> might as well make the bot timeout..
[08:27] <aleka> just seems like most of these seem to be coming from a specifc source.. which is surprising..
[08:28] <aleka> and how would I configure Apache so It does not log such requests (SEARCH, POST)
[08:29] <ivoks> you don't want that
[08:29] <ivoks> doing regex will go over CPU, while loggin false attacks will not do anything
[08:31] <aleka> cool.. How common are these attacks? Most of the posts I found on Google were around 2005, should I assume it is just some kiddie and expect it to die out soon or should I move my webserv back to the old port?\
[08:33] <ivoks> just ignore it... it's better for the attacks to get logged
[08:33] <ivoks> and relax... you can't do anything about that... expect some seriuos iptabeling :/
[08:39] <aleka> Thanks a bunch for your help and patience ivoks , Appreciate it :)
[09:00] <Ali_ix> hi
[09:01] <Ali_ix> i have dedicated server running dapper, how can i upgrade it to feisty?
[09:01] <Ali_ix> just remote ssh access :)
[09:01] <\sh> via edgy
[09:01] <theacolyte> you dist-upgrade to edgy, then feisty
[09:01] <Ali_ix> \sh: i must upgarde to edgy an then to feisty?
[09:02] <Ali_ix> thanks :)
[09:02] <\sh> Ali_ix, yeah, or you just wait for the next LTS release
[09:02] <Ali_ix> any clean direct way?
[09:02] <\sh> nope...
[09:02] <Ali_ix> aha, thanks
[09:02] <\sh> from LTS to LTS it should be clean, but from LTS to feisty, only the way via edgy
[09:03] <Ali_ix> should i upgarde my dapper server to feisty? or its ok until next LTS release to have dapper?
[09:05] <\sh> if you want stability ... you should wait... you need new software, take a risk...depends on you or your boss ,) 
[09:06] <Ali_ix> \sh: thanks for brief info :)
[10:07] <mralphabet> on a reboot, how can I make an mdadm array go away?
[10:08] <mralphabet> I have commented it out of fstab and mdadm.conf and initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and the thing still comes back
[10:08] <mralphabet> do I have to go to a live cd and blow the partitions away?
