JoeyJoeJoe70Hi there02:53
JoeyJoeJoe70I have a newbie question re: telnet and ubuntu server02:54
JoeyJoeJoe70I'm getting 'connection refused' when trying to telnet to my server. Is it that telnet is not installed? How can I find out (real newbie, here)02:55
ajmitchno, telnet isn't installed, nor should it be02:57
ajmitchssh is a much better secure replacement02:58
JoeyJoeJoe70I know but I'm just using it at home behind a firewall02:59
JoeyJoeJoe70how do I install sshd then? I am using webmin to access/configure my server and I'm being told ....03:03
JoeyJoeJoe70"he SSH server config file /etc/ssh/sshd_config was not found on your system. Maybe SSHD is not installed, or your module configuration is incorrect.:03:03
ajmitchapt-get install openssh-server03:04
ajmitchah, webmin03:04
ajmitchso you have no commandline access right now?03:05
JoeyJoeJoe70precisely. I will have commandline access if I get up off the couch though. :)03:05
JoeyJoeJoe70I will go run apt-get install openssh-server and follow my nose from there.03:06
JoeyJoeJoe70How do you remote in from outside the network? I've used no-ip client before. Would that work?03:06
=== ajmitch is not sure how well webmin will work with ubuntu
ajmitchdepends on how your routing is setup03:07
JoeyJoeJoe70using dd-wrt on my Linksys router03:10
JoeyJoeJoe70Thanks ajmitch. I'm in now with openssh-server03:12

qiyongsvschwartz, it it documented somewhere? they should12:45
svschwartzqiyong: I think it's because of small demand for server edition :) 12:46

svschwartzqiyong: I don't think so. Admins demand server edition, and it's faster and easier to download it rather to request on shipit12:53
svschwartzqiyong: you want to boot ubuntu server by means of pxe ? :)12:54
qiyongsvschwartz, install by pxe12:54

robert-bThanks, Shawarma. A quick check finds it's for version 6.06 :(06:13
ivoksright06:13
ivoksall server should be LTS06:14
ivoksexcept if you really need virtualisation06:14
gregbuntuif anyone is interested, here is solution for making grub work for my ubuntu install on ibm netfinity 5500 with hardware raid 5: update the scsi controller firmware06:14
gregbuntusolved my grub error 18 issue06:14
robert-bI was just looknig for something specific to 7.04. If there is no difference between it and 6.06 then I can just use the latter.06:14
ivoksuse it06:15
ivoksdepends on hardware06:16
ivoksit's possible to have hardware that will work with 7.04, but not with 6.0606:16

tidelineis 0415 the latest build of the server iso?11:12
mralphabettideline: sounds right11:13
mralphabettideline: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ agrees11:13
tidelinemralphabet: is that the released version of feisty server ?11:14
mralphabetyes11:15
tidelineI ask because I had a little trouble with it after the install and wanted to know if I could attribute it to a nightly build problem11:15
tidelineok cool - thanks - will troubleshoot 11:15
tidelineis there somewhere I can get or start working with gusty?11:16
mralphabetnot sure, I usually only run release11:17
mralphabetnot even sure they have really started working on it since the conference . .. last week?11:17
shawarmamralphabet: We started almost a month ago. :-)11:18
tidelineah ok, I wanted to get involved with the server team, I currently work in a all RH shop and want to cut costs, but we have a lot of sparc here too, so it's a good place to test11:19
tidelinewell RH and solaris 11:19
shawarmamralphabet: Development of each release starts on the day we release the previous one.11:19
shawarmatideline: Cool.11:19
mralphabetshawarma: ahh heh11:19
tidelineshawarma: where can I get started?11:20
shawarmatideline: What do you want to do?11:20
tidelineanything ;-)11:20
shawarmatideline: Well, #ubuntu-motu is a good place to start.11:20
shawarmatideline: The MOTU's handles everything in universe (package things, fix bugs, etc.)11:20
shawarmatideline: If that's a bit over the top for you, you can help out by triaging bugs on launchpad.11:21
tidelineshawarma: ok, will check there, like I said, I think I have a good background in what a "server" offering needs to have/be in an enterprise setting11:21
shawarmatideline: Ah, so you're looking for more of a highlevel approach?11:22
shawarmatideline: planning features and that sort of thing?11:22
tidelinekinda - but I'm not above triage duty too 11:22
shawarmatideline: heh11:23
tidelineoh man gonne be late for the baseball game... gotta run shawarma thanks for the info will check back in again later tonight11:24
shawarmatideline: We track feature requests on launchpad (in the blueprint section https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ )11:24
tidelineok weill make a note11:24
shawarmatideline: That would be a good place to suggest new features or feature sets.11:24

shawarmaWell... Sort of. I'm not sure how it's going to work now that it's not "my" project anymore.11:59
ajmitchtrue11:59
shawarmaThe next thing to do is basically to grab all of the existing solutions and see how much we can use and how much we have to write ourselves.12:00
ajmitchno doubt there'll be a fair bit12:01
ajmitchgood luck with it :)12:01
shawarmaIt seems eBox does a lot of it already, so that would be an excellent starting point if it wasn't written in perl. Now it's just a so-so starting point. :-)12:01

shawarmaI'm just curious why noone picked it up yet..12:04
ajmitchgetting a consistent interface for all this isn't simple12:04
ajmitchso people end up using something like webmin12:05
shawarmaNo, it's not. eBox does look shiny and consistent, though.12:05
ajmitchand perlish :)12:05
shawarmaYeah. 12:05
shawarmaWith eBox I find myself looking for defects large enough to justify not using it since perl gives me the creeps. :-)12:06
shawarmaI haven't found them yet (on the surface that is), but that may change when I start digging through the code.12:06
ajmitchyou want something maintainable12:07
