halcyonCorsaircan anyone tell me the easiest way to install the minimal ubuntu-desktop packages?01:25
BurgundaviahalcyonCorsair: what do you mean by minimal?01:26
lamontapt-get install ubuntu-desktop?01:26
lamontdepending, of course on what you mean by "minimal"01:27
halcyonCorsairubuntu-desktop is in no way minimal...lots of cruft, all i pretty much want is x, gnome, and firefox01:28
leonelhalcyonCorsair:  I install these  on servers that  customers  "want"  a gui  :01:29
lamontah, then you don't want ubuntu-desktop.  you want gnome+firefox01:29
leonelgnome-panel gdm metacity xserver-xorg firefox xfonts-base firefox-themes-ubuntu gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks buntu-artwork gnome-applets gnome-system-tools nautilus gnome-terminal ubuntu-docs update-manager01:29
leonelcan I make  a  metapackage with  this dependencies  and  be included in Universe  ??01:29
lamont(ubuntu-desktop would be my definition of the minimum set of packages that need to be installed  on the machine to call it an "Ubuntu Desktop")01:30
lamontleonel: it's a bit late for gutsy, but you could sure upload it - worst case, it'd land first thing in hardty01:30
lamonthardy, even01:30
halcyonCorsairhmm01:30
leonellamont:  great !01:30
lamontmind you, I don't approve uploads :)01:30
leonellamont: not so great !  :(01:31
leonelhaha01:31
lamontif it exists in the open source universe, it goes in universe... so just make your  package and upload it.01:31
lamontOTOH, the decision of whether or not to take it for gutsy/universe is not mine to make01:31
leonelok01:32
lamontthe bigger question is going to be around what the package should be called...01:32
lamontleonel-gui comes to mind as one that would likely not fly. :-)01:32
leonelhaha01:33
leonelanother  would be  put it  on  ppa  and  there we have all the "minimal" desktop  for servers01:34

nealmcbme either.  I just know that dealing with a printer on a feisty xubuntu desktop is a pain.  I guess I need to figure out how to configure the x11 config of cups, with working users and all - first attempts failed....07:08

ivoksanyway, bug with multiple interfaces is solved (i'm checking it again)04:58
ivoksheh /var/log/udev is from yesterday04:58
ivoksyou installed it yesterday?04:58
_rubenyes04:58
_rubenmost likely around that time04:58
_rubenmy lost+found dir has a similar timestamp, so that'd be correct04:59
ivoksok... that could be a root of the problem04:59
ivoksand you can edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules now and rename interfaces to the ones you want05:00
_rubensure05:00
ivoksthe thing with eth2/eth3 instead eth0 and eth1 is fixed (but, i'm checking it again)05:00
_rubeni really need to edit my inputrc to have pgup/pgdn scroll through my bash history .. its a habit/feature i dont want to lose ;-)05:01
_rubenand some terminal configuration as well .. when pressing arrow keys in edit mode in vi(m) causes D/B/... chars to be printed instead of cursor movement05:03
_rubensmth i recall from my slackware 4.0 machine :-P05:03
mralphabet_ruben: I have that too, it drives me crazy and I am not sure how to fix it05:03
_ruben5 o'clock .. time for me head home05:04
_rubenthanks for the support so far and have a nice weekend05:04
ivoks_ruben: wait05:07
=== _ruben burns some skidmarks in the carpet
ivoks:)05:07
ivoks_ruben: add the information about /var/log to that bug05:07
_rubenah ok05:08
_rubenhaving /var/log as seperate partition might need a bug on its own .. /var/log/boot shows: (Nothing has been logged yet.)05:09
ivoks_ruben: great, then report it as a new bug :)05:09
_rubenany particular package i could file that against?05:11
ivoksudev05:11
_rubenthe /var/log/boot one is udev related as well?05:12
ivoksbug will be reassigned to proper package if udev is wrong05:13
ivoksit's just important to get that on LP ASAP, since launch is near05:13
_rubenok05:14
ivoksi think scott is already working on it :)05:14
_rubenBug #149476 filed05:15

ivoksit's ok :)05:15
_rubenit took quite some thinking to get to this one ;-)05:16
ivoksthanks for all the info and help05:17

mathiazScottK: ok.06:23
ScottKIt seemed more on topic here.06:23
ScottKYes.  I know almost nothing about samba06:23
mathiazScottK: every now and then there is a request file in LP that samba should be upgraded to suppor the latest and greatest.06:23
ScottKWhich is, in general, what backports is for.06:24
mathiazScottK: I was wondering if dapper-backport could be used for shipping the latest samba06:24
mathiazScottK: so that people can use the latest version of samba or choose the one that is supported.06:24
ScottKSure.  The key questions are:06:25
mathiazScottK: I was thinking about putting the latest version from samba in dapper-backports.06:25
ScottK1.  Are there rdepends that it breaks?06:25
ScottK2.  Does it work (who's got Dapper and is going to test it)?06:26
ScottK3.  When it falls over and dies and users file bugs, who can I point a finger at?06:26
mathiazScottK: for 3. I guess that users will file a bug directly under samba for ubuntu.06:27
sorenivoks: I checked, and yes, that's the case.06:28
mathiazScottK: so ubuntu-server will receive it.06:28
ivokssoren: great06:28
ScottKmathiaz: And if they do, you should mark it invalid and tell them to file against dapper-backports.06:28
mathiazScottK: right. May be ubuntu-server could be added as a bug contact for samba in -backport06:29
sorenivoks: Yeah, so it's under control, and as soon as my module-init-tools build is done, I think cjwatson will be doing a new d-i build, so either tomorrow or the day after.06:29
ScottKFor backports it's all or nothing.06:29
ScottKI think we can leave it that if there are problems, I'll scream and you'll deal with it.06:29
ScottKOh.  Almost forgot:06:29
ScottK4.  Are all the dependencies present in Dapper.06:29
ScottKThat's important too.06:30
mathiazScottK: yes. of course.06:30
mathiazScottK: I won't try to publish in dapper if it cannot build.06:30
mathiazScottK: what do you mean by "all or nothing" ?06:30
ScottKIf you are a dapper-backports bug contact you get ALL the dapper-backports bugs, not just specific packages.06:31
mathiazScottK: you cannot set a bug contact for the specific package ?06:32
ScottKNo.06:32
mathiazScottK: is it by policy or for a technical reason ?06:34
ScottKTechnical06:34
ScottKWe don't file bugs in backports by package, just against the project.06:34
mathiazScottK: ok.06:35
ScottKIt's no problem for me to point you at stuff that comes up, I just want to make sure there's someone that will figure Samba stuff out as I'm virtually completely ignorant on Samba.06:36
mathiazScottK: ok. I understand your point of view.06:36
mathiazScottK: I may bring that up during next ubuntu-server meeting.06:37
ScottKSo, if you decide to go for it, test the package out and then file a bug in dapper-backports.06:37

maestrojedi have just installed php5 on my ubuntu box.  Some functions that use sendmail are not sending mail yet not returning any errors.  Does the default installation of PHP5 built for Ubuntu disable sendmail in any way?09:15
ScottKmaestrojed: Did you install an MTA?  One isn't included by default.09:17
maestrojedScottK: I don't know what an MTA is?09:20
maestrojedScottK: so, no, I did not install one :)09:20
ScottKmaestrojed: Mail Transfer Agent (aka mail server).09:20
ScottKThen you have no sendmail.09:21
mathiaz!mta | maestrojed09:21
ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about mta - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi09:21
maestrojedohhh, no this is the first server I built and I followed the direction for a standard LAMP server but didn't now I had to do that.09:21
mralphabetthe piece of software that accepts a message, wraps stuff around the message, then is capable of handing the message off to another machine = MTA09:21
maestrojedGotcha, Thanks for all this info.  I will read up on it and try to get one installed09:22
mralphabetmaestrojed: LAMP is apache mysql (or postgresql) and php (or python or perl)09:22
maestrojedmralphabet: right, I just thought sendmail was a self contained function in PHP that could send mail.  I did not realize it needed a MTA09:23
mralphabetmta isn't in that equation ;)  I would suggest postfix, it seems the standard preference09:23

mralphabet"sendmail" is an MTA by itself09:27
mralphabetthere are several large MTA packages09:27
mralphabetSendmail, EXIM, Postfix09:27
ScottKPostfix is the primary/most supported in Ubuntu, but you can use pretty much whichever one you want.09:29
mralphabetthere are other smaller ones too, but like ScottK said, postfix is probably the way to go09:30
dantalizingdoes the postfix configuration set up a symlink for /usr/sbin/sendmail?  and does postfix accept the same args?09:30
dantalizingthe way exim4 does?09:30
mralphabetnow that we have beat that issue to death . . .09:30
ScottKdantalizing: Yes.  One of Postfix's primary design goals was to be externally compatible with Sendmail.09:31
dantalizingthx09:31
ScottKdantalizing: The other ones were to be more secure and more comprehensible.09:33
ScottKEven today, "Sendmail does X, so please fix Postfix" is generally an acceptable request.09:34
dantalizingneed to try migrating one of my systems to postfix09:34
maestrojedHey I appreciate it because I know not what I am doing :) So all this info is great09:35
ScottKFor anyone learning Postfix, I highly recommend "The Book of Postfix".  It covers everything you need to know in a logical, detailed way.  Not just Postfix specifics, but the theory behind it too.09:37
dantalizingis that available via apt? or $ only?09:40
