[04:22] <lalcaraz> hi, could anyone help me? I have an issue on Ubuntu 7.04 server edition
[04:22] <lalcaraz> I installed with default options and LAMP
[04:23] <lalcaraz> but when the PC starts, I can see the GRUB, then the PC restarts itself 
[04:23] <lalcaraz> what could it be the issue?
[04:41] <KennyTheGeek> Do you know any media streaming server, that is better than gnump3? gnump3 seems to be using up my ram when i play music through it, but it seems to forget to clean the buffers.
[04:41] <KennyTheGeek> it keeps using more, and more, and more
[04:42] <KennyTheGeek> and i only got 512 MB to play with, and when running it it switches to swap...
[04:47] <taomaster> good luck getting any help here
[04:47] <KennyTheGeek> hehe
[04:47] <KennyTheGeek> :P
[04:47] <lalcaraz> haahahah that's true
[04:47] <taomaster> i tired
[04:47] <shawarma> taomaster: What's that supposed to mean?
[04:47] <lalcaraz> there's more help on #ubuntu channel
[04:48] <KennyTheGeek> shawarma: cause we tough you was away, and youre the only one responding most of the time
[04:48] <KennyTheGeek> tried in ubuntu :P
[04:48] <taomaster> well i'm thinking of using ubuntu server and moving away from MS
[04:48] <shawarma> KennyTheGeek: :) I *am* away. It's the weekend.
[04:48] <taomaster> i had a few ? and no anwsers
[04:48] <KennyTheGeek> shawarma : >_>
[04:48] <KennyTheGeek> taomaster: youve seen the light ;)
[04:48] <taomaster> ok  so try on Monday
[04:49] <taomaster> yes i have
[04:49] <shawarma> lalcaraz: Try starting in recovery mode and keep a close eye on the console to see what the last thing it says is.
[04:49] <lalcaraz> anyone knows about an issue on ubuntu server that restarts the pc after grub is showed?? 
[04:49] <lalcaraz> ookok
[04:49] <taomaster> i've been usinf ubuntu 7 4 about a month and i like it
[04:49] <lalcaraz> let me see ... 
[04:49] <KennyTheGeek> "Shawarma, Ubuntu support, meeting times: 12:00 to 15:00 on monday to friday, and saturday 11:00 to 13:00
[04:49] <KennyTheGeek> "
[04:49] <KennyTheGeek> :P
[04:49] <taomaster> ok  thanx i'll try then
[04:50] <shawarma> My core hours are 8 AM to 5 PM CEST. I'm around then.
[04:50] <taomaster> cool  that's all i needed to know
[04:50] <lalcaraz> the only thing I see is Starting up ... and then boom! reboots
[04:50] <shawarma> lalcaraz: The install went fine?
[04:51] <KennyTheGeek> taomaster: did you have any problems with ubuntu server, or haven't you tried yet?
[04:51] <lalcaraz> yep, was fine no eroor .
[04:51] <shawarma> lalcaraz: Ok. Hardware?
[04:51] <taomaster> i have not tried it yet
[04:51] <lalcaraz> via c3 embedded processor, 256mb ram
[04:51] <taomaster> i'm uploading as we speak
[04:52] <KennyTheGeek> taomaster: uploading? :S
[04:52] <taomaster> well sorry  d/l
[04:52] <KennyTheGeek> :P
[04:52] <shawarma> lalcaraz: 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] <KennyTheGeek> i was too lazy to download ubuntu-server, so i installed desktop, and uninstalled gnome :P
[04:52] <lalcaraz> ok, let me try it. thanks
[04:52] <KennyTheGeek> running xfce if i need vnc
[04:53] <shawarma> lalcaraz: 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.
[04:54] <taomaster> KennyTheGeek  is there a book or something outt here so i can study this distro?
[04:54] <lalcaraz> ok let me try it right now ... thanks :D 
[04:54] <shawarma> lalcaraz: np
[04:54] <KennyTheGeek> taomaster: :S not that i know of, why?
[04:54] <taomaster> i was goin  to go with Novell until they paired with MS
[04:54] <KennyTheGeek> hehe
[04:55] <taomaster> i like to read about it b 4 i use it
[04:55] <KennyTheGeek> used SuSE 10 once, didn't like it
[04:55] <lalcaraz> this is my MB, if you know any issue related http://www.pcchips.com.tw/PCCWeb/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?DetailID=348&MenuID=0&LanID=2
[04:55] <KennyTheGeek> well, ubuntuforums.org, ubuntu.com :P thats where you can read about them
[04:56] <taomaster> i had sled 10, it was nice until i tired ubuntu
[04:58] <taomaster> i saw at distrowatch.com there's a course 4 Ubuntu server, have u ever seen it?
[04:58] <KennyTheGeek> no
[04:58] <taomaster> it's like 349.00 4 the course
[04:58] <taomaster> 6 weeks
[04:58] <KennyTheGeek> :O!!!
[04:58] <KennyTheGeek> expensive ****...
[04:58] <taomaster> well how much diff is it then server 03
[04:58] <taomaster> i think i can figure it out
[04:58] <KennyTheGeek> server isn't that hard
[04:59] <lalcaraz> question: how may I install i386 kernel?? :S
[04:59] <taomaster> i have 100 workstation and 4 servers at my place of business
[04:59] <shawarma> lalcaraz: You chose the rescue option, when you started?
[04:59] <lalcaraz> yep 
[04:59] <lalcaraz> I'm on a menu just like the installer
[05:00] <KennyTheGeek> taomaster: i got 5 pc's (1 dekstop) and 1 server at my "business" :P
[05:00] <shawarma> lalcaraz: Alright. I don't remember options.. Could you remind me?
[05:00] <lalcaraz> starts asking for my language, then my keyboard, now it's loading additional componentes
[05:00] <KennyTheGeek> it's my mom/dads, home droven, he's mechanical guy, electrician, all other stuff he can figure out how to do...
[05:01] <taomaster> does this ubuntu have remote services?
[05:01] <shawarma> lalcaraz: Ah. just wait then.
[05:01] <KennyTheGeek> remote services? of which sort? VNC, SSH, stuff like that?
[05:02] <taomaster> vpn
[05:02] <KennyTheGeek> a vpn server should be in the repositories, ill check
[05:02] <shawarma> taomaster: openvpn is in the archive.
[05:02] <taomaster> ok
[05:03] <lalcaraz> sharma: it's asking me about that FS I want to rescue,
[05:03] <lalcaraz> shows hda1, hda2 or hda5 
[05:03] <shawarma> lalcaraz: Yes...
[05:03] <lalcaraz> I believe it's hda1 
[05:03] <lalcaraz> as far as i can remember ... that's my root 
[05:03] <shawarma> lalcaraz: You can switch to vt2 and check.
[05:03] <shawarma> lalcaraz: Alt-f2, press return, do 
[05:03] <shawarma> fdisk -l /dev/hda
[05:03] <lalcaraz> true, fdisk shows it up 
[05:03] <taomaster> ya right now i do all my network admin-ing from my home and the offices are in another town
[05:04] <taomaster> so remote connections is a must
[05:04] <lalcaraz> so then another menu appears: execute shell at hda1, execute shell from installer enviroment, reinstall grub boot loader, choose different root FS, reboot the system
[05:06] <shawarma> lalcaraz: The first one.
[05:06] <shawarma> execute shell at hda1
[05:06] <lalcaraz> ok, i'm on a shell as root 
[05:06] <shawarma> Great.
[05:06] <shawarma> apt-get install linux-image-386
[05:07] <lalcaraz> is that easy? hahahaha I love aptitude! :D 
[05:08] <shawarma> Oh, hang on. Do you have /boot on a separate partition?
[05:08] <lalcaraz> nope
[05:08] <lalcaraz> just 2 partitions, / and swap
[05:08] <taomaster> ok guys thanx for the info and i'll c you during the work week
[05:10] <shawarma> lalcaraz: Excellent.
[05:10] <shawarma> lalcaraz: When it's done installing, exit from the shell, reboot and when grub shows up, make sure you chose the right kernel.
[05:10] <shawarma> lalcaraz: And presto!
[05:11] <lalcaraz> ok, just need to upgrade the aptitute package list
[05:11] <lalcaraz> hahahaha that's why i Love Ubuntu :P many thanks 
[05:12] <lalcaraz> question: do I need to upgrade the grub menu? or it's just updated automatically? 
[05:14] <shawarma> lalcaraz: Automagically.
[05:14] <shawarma> lalcaraz: If you're bored, you can run update-grub yourself.
[05:14] <shawarma> lalcaraz: But installing a kernel triggers it, too.
[05:18] <lalcaraz> :o "sophie" is working. I can see the services getting up 
[05:19] <shawarma> After rebooting? Great stuff.
[05:29] <lalcaraz> many thanks, it's working now. Have a nice day :D
[09:07] <Elwell> hey folks - Are there any good docs for installing / tweaking RT (Request-tracker) on ubuntu? if not - shall I start some? (I've installed / used / customised it before and am just doing a fresh install on a feisty-server-amd64)
[09:09] <Tron04> hello, 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] <ivoks> that's normal
[09:09] <Tron04> hihi. and what to do about it?
[09:10] <Tron04> do you know why this is so?
[09:10] <ivoks> nothing
[09:10] <ivoks> yes, once upstart is fully implemented, this will go away
[09:10] <Tron04> maybe an echo is missing somewhere
[09:10] <ivoks> no, 'login text' aka getty is started before some services
[09:11] <Tron04> sorry I'm new.. what is upstart?
[09:11] <ivoks> so you get login prompt, and then information about started services
[09:11] <Tron04> oh i understand
[09:11] <ivoks> Tron04: replacement for sysv
[09:11] <ivoks> sysvinit
[09:11] <Tron04> I am just starting with ubuntu.. but got my samba server running today... yeah!
[09:11] <ivoks> event based init
[09:11] <ivoks> upstart.ubuntu.com
[09:12] <Tron04> will check this out. thanks!
[09:12] <Tron04> just one other question:
[09:12] <Tron04> is it possible to let ubuntu power down by pressing the power button on the pc?
[09:12] <Tron04> currently this does nothing.
[09:13] <Tron04> i mean a clean shutdown and then power off
[09:14] <ivoks> yes
[09:14] <ivoks> install acpid package
[09:14] <Tron04> will try this. and tell if it works...
[09:14] <ivoks> this package is installed by default in desktop version
[09:15] <ivoks> but not in server
[09:15] <Tron04> ahh i see
[09:15] <Tron04> you know ubuntu quite well. how long have you used it?
[09:16] <ivoks> Elwell: i think that's possible
[09:16] <ivoks> Tron04: since 4.10
[09:16] <Elwell> ivoks: sure it is, I just need to RTFM :-)
[09:16] <ivoks> Elwell: system -> preferences -> power manager
[09:16] <ivoks> last tab :)
[09:17] <Tron04> ivoks: 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] <ivoks> np
[09:18] <Tron04> sorry... next question...
[09:19] <Elwell> ivoks: ta.
[09:19] <Tron04> i 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] <Tron04> I bet you have a hint
[09:20] <ivoks> i don't :)
[09:20] <ivoks> i'm kind of tired :)
[09:21] <Tron04> ok no problem
[09:21] <ivoks> 791 should work
[10:19] <olem> Hi everyone. 
[10:20] <olem> is there some activities relating to ubuntu-directory? I saw few activity in the mailing list archive
[10:20] <olem> is there any plans to work towards some jobs for next release?
[10:20] <olem> oups... wrong channel :S
[10:21] <olem> anyway, I whish we could do some job to have a "Ubuntu Directory Server" package for next releases :-)
[10:21] <ivoks> based on... ldap?
[10:22] <olem> probably
[10:22] <olem> I recently saw Luke from PADL coded a pam_ccreds to cache credentials.
[10:23] <olem> So, it seems all the needed bases are there to have a good candidate for small/medium business sized servers.
[10:42] <Burgundavia> olem: cached creds is old
[10:42] <olem> yes. right. I just spotted it recently anyway.
[10:42] <olem> cause my ldap/linux related skills are perhaps dating a bit too :)
[10:43] <Burgundavia> right
[10:43] <Burgundavia> nss-updatedb is the other part that equation
[10:44] <olem> yes, I spotted it too
