KennyTheGeekit keeps using more, and more, and more04:41
KennyTheGeekand i only got 512 MB to play with, and when running it it switches to swap...04:42

lalcarazookok04:49
taomasteri've been usinf ubuntu 7 4 about a month and i like it04:49
lalcarazlet me see ... 04:49

taomasterok  thanx i'll try then04:49
shawarmaMy core hours are 8 AM to 5 PM CEST. I'm around then.04:50
taomastercool  that's all i needed to know04:50
lalcarazthe only thing I see is Starting up ... and then boom! reboots04:50
shawarmalalcaraz: The install went fine?04:50
KennyTheGeektaomaster: did you have any problems with ubuntu server, or haven't you tried yet?04:51
lalcarazyep, was fine no eroor .04:51

taomasteri'm uploading as we speak04:51
KennyTheGeektaomaster: uploading? :S04:52
taomasterwell sorry  d/l04:52
KennyTheGeek:P04:52
shawarmalalcaraz: That's probably your problem. You need to boot up the server cd, choose rescue mode, and install the -i386 kernel, I think.04:52
KennyTheGeeki was too lazy to download ubuntu-server, so i installed desktop, and uninstalled gnome :P04:52
lalcarazok, let me try it. thanks04:52
KennyTheGeekrunning xfce if i need vnc04:52
shawarmalalcaraz: The server kernel might be trying to use some stuff that the via cpu's don't support. They're not entirely i686 compatible, afair.04:53
taomasterKennyTheGeek  is there a book or something outt here so i can study this distro?04:54
lalcarazok let me try it right now ... thanks :D 04:54
shawarmalalcaraz: np04:54
KennyTheGeektaomaster: :S not that i know of, why?04:54
taomasteri was goin  to go with Novell until they paired with MS04:54
KennyTheGeekhehe04:54

KennyTheGeekit's my mom/dads, home droven, he's mechanical guy, electrician, all other stuff he can figure out how to do...05:00
taomasterdoes this ubuntu have remote services?05:01
shawarmalalcaraz: Ah. just wait then.05:01
KennyTheGeekremote services? of which sort? VNC, SSH, stuff like that?05:01
taomastervpn05:02
KennyTheGeeka vpn server should be in the repositories, ill check05:02
shawarmataomaster: openvpn is in the archive.05:02
taomasterok05:02
lalcarazsharma: it's asking me about that FS I want to rescue,05:03
lalcarazshows hda1, hda2 or hda5 05:03
shawarmalalcaraz: Yes...05:03

shawarmalalcaraz: You can switch to vt2 and check.05:03
shawarmalalcaraz: Alt-f2, press return, do 05:03

shawarmalalcaraz: Excellent.05:10
shawarmalalcaraz: When it's done installing, exit from the shell, reboot and when grub shows up, make sure you chose the right kernel.05:10
shawarmalalcaraz: And presto!05:10
lalcarazok, just need to upgrade the aptitute package list05:11
lalcarazhahahaha that's why i Love Ubuntu :P many thanks 05:11
lalcarazquestion: do I need to upgrade the grub menu? or it's just updated automatically? 05:12
shawarmalalcaraz: Automagically.05:14
shawarmalalcaraz: If you're bored, you can run update-grub yourself.05:14
shawarmalalcaraz: But installing a kernel triggers it, too.05:14
lalcaraz:o "sophie" is working. I can see the services getting up 05:18
shawarmaAfter rebooting? Great stuff.05:19

Tron04hello, when my ubuntu boots, the cursor stays in the right corner after the system says "Running local boot scripts". I have to hit return to see the login text. any clues?09:09
ivoksthat's normal09:09
Tron04hihi. and what to do about it?09:09
Tron04do you know why this is so?09:10
ivoksnothing09:10
ivoksyes, once upstart is fully implemented, this will go away09:10
Tron04maybe an echo is missing somewhere09:10
ivoksno, 'login text' aka getty is started before some services09:10
Tron04sorry I'm new.. what is upstart?09:11
ivoksso you get login prompt, and then information about started services09:11
Tron04oh i understand09:11
ivoksTron04: replacement for sysv09:11
ivokssysvinit09:11
Tron04I am just starting with ubuntu.. but got my samba server running today... yeah!09:11
ivoksevent based init09:11
ivoksupstart.ubuntu.com09:11
Tron04will check this out. thanks!09:12
Tron04just one other question:09:12
Tron04is it possible to let ubuntu power down by pressing the power button on the pc?09:12
Tron04currently this does nothing.09:12
Tron04i mean a clean shutdown and then power off09:13
ivoksyes09:14
ivoksinstall acpid package09:14
Tron04will try this. and tell if it works...09:14
ivoksthis package is installed by default in desktop version09:14
ivoksbut not in server09:15
Tron04ahh i see09:15
=== Elwell wishes the desktop one would shutdown not just pop up dialogue
Tron04you know ubuntu quite well. how long have you used it?09:15
ivoksElwell: i think that's possible09:16
ivoksTron04: since 4.1009:16
Elwellivoks: sure it is, I just need to RTFM :-)09:16
ivoksElwell: system -> preferences -> power manager09:16
ivokslast tab :)09:16
Tron04ivoks: you are great! it works wow. this is important to me, because I want to use my pc as a headless NAS device and want to shut it down without doing it via ssh. thanks!09:17
ivoksnp09:17
Tron04sorry... next question...09:18
Elwellivoks: ta.09:19
Tron04i told grub to use vga=791, but when restarting i get something like invalid video mode and then a list of text modes.09:19
Tron04I bet you have a hint09:19
ivoksi don't :)09:20
ivoksi'm kind of tired :)09:20
