Kamping_Kaiserunsupprisingly 'new hardware' and 'new software' work well together00:00
Kamping_Kaisermastercane, theres what LSB is for00:01
Yahooadammeh00:02
Kamping_Kaiserthe next LTS will have driver cd update support built in, 6.06 doesnt00:02
mastercaneKamping_Kaiser: so your opinion is that ubuntu LTS is not made for ISVs who select it as base for their software?00:02
Yahooadami thought the ubuntu repository machines compiled for you and stuff ... ?00:02
mastercaneoh, driver cd support would be nice...00:02
Yahooadamoh well, i dont really understand all this stuff yet ;)00:03
Yahooadampackages and stuff confuse me :p00:03
Kamping_KaiserYahooadam, they dont cmopile "for you" per se00:03
Q_ContinuumI just want to make myself a mirror :(00:03
Yahooadami thought i saw somone say somthing in a forum thing for ubutnu, and it tried to compile00:03
mastercaneYahooadam: we sell groupware based on java, so our admin backend has to be deeply integrated with postfix, amavis, clamav, sieve, cyrus, ...00:03
Kamping_KaiserYahooadam, any ISV who wriets LSB 2.something complient apps will have them work on dapper00:04
Kamping_KaiserQ_Continuum, pastebin your update script, and your error message00:04
Kamping_KaiserYahooadam, you can build your own if you want00:04
Yahooadamfair enough ... :)00:05
mastercaneKamping_Kaiser: if the ISv's customers use outdated hardware that is right, on 90 % of the actual server hardware Ubuntu 6.06 can't be installed / can only be installed with much manual work00:06
Kamping_Kaisermastercane, point is if its LSB [2,3] complient, it will work on later versions too. as for dappers hardware support - such is life00:06
Yahooadamyou know what i wish, that my server would last for more then 1 week without some kind of hardware or software failure >_<00:07
Kamping_KaiserYahooadam, :| thats not good00:07
mastercane"such is life" is not okay if you need a supported plattform for your product...00:08
Yahooadammmm, oh and i nuked my HDD and then found out that my ram was bad :'(00:08
Kamping_KaiserYahooadam, :S00:08
Yahooadamdespite what memtest might tell me00:08
mastercaneonly wanted to here opinions here - hope that there will be enough political power behind my requests so the kernel gets updated --> ubuntu LTS runs on actual hardware00:08
Kamping_Kaisermastercane, yeah, i understand. Debian etch is out, or 6 months then theres another LTS (with driver cd support and crap)00:08
Kamping_Kaiserkernel will probably not get updated, its likely drivers will get backported to that kernel though00:09
mastercanethat would be okay, too00:10
Kamping_Kaiseryou'll need to ping someone like soren (iirc) to ask whats going on there00:11
mastercaneKamping_Kaiser sorry for the quit - upgrade of ,my workstation to gutsy killes the irc client00:15
Yahooadamlol00:15
Kamping_Kaiserlol.00:16
Kamping_Kaiserno worries00:16
mastercanereal men stay gentlemen even in irc ;)00:16
Q_Continuumwhaaa?00:19
Q_ContinuumLies.00:19
mastercanefor what do you guys use your ubuntu-server? any other people around using it as spam filtering MTA ?00:20
YahooadamTV, File and print server00:20
Kamping_Kaisermy ubuntu server is an LTSP and a gateway (filtering caching proxy) in a community centre, i dont run ubuntu at home00:21
mastercaneLTSP5 ?00:21
mastercanewhat is a "community centre"?00:22
Kamping_Kaiserno, ltsp400:23
Kamping_Kaiserthehut.org.au00:23
mastercaneah, okay00:23
Kamping_Kaiserwell, 4 i think. running dapper00:23
mastercanewhat do you use as filter software?00:23
mastercanesquid + privoxy or stuff like dansguardian?00:24
* Yahooadam like IPCop00:24
Kamping_Kaiseri've got squid+dansguardian00:24
Yahooadamlikes #00:24
Kamping_Kaiserat home i tried to get http-replicator+dansguardian going, but didnt seem to work00:25
Kamping_Kaiseri might try again later00:25
Q_ContinuumKamping_Kaiser, http://pastebin.com/d471406a0 - its an updated version from the one found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror (only changes are changing dapper to gutsy, and the removal of a potentially pesky apostrophe, as the original pastebin post shows)00:25
Q_ContinuumRunning it again without the apostrophe, seeing if it fails again.00:26
mastercaneis there a way to log the traffic user based in this enviroment?00:26
mastercanehad the problem some months ago: a company with MX terminalservers + citrix wanted to log all traffic userbased00:27
Kamping_Kaisermastercane, iptables can monitor per user, not tried it myself00:27
mastercanebut all browser sessions for example come from the terminalserver - right?00:27
Kamping_KaiserQ_Continuum, wheres tthe apostrophy you removed?00:27
mastercaneso iptables is no proper way00:27
Kamping_Kaisermastercane, i dont know how citrix works very much00:27
Q_Continuumjust above where debmirror is called, near the bottom.  first line in that last paragraph before debmirror - 'and not deb-src's'00:28
stiv2kwhat do i have to do to upgrade my server from feisty -> gutsy?00:28
Kamping_Kaiserno you dont /have/ to00:30
Q_ContinuumKamping_Kaiser, the other issue I run into about 80% of the time is that it times out grabbing the package lists or the .gpg files of the package lists, I haven't found a server I can reliably pull from yet :-/00:30
stiv2khuh?00:30
Kamping_KaiserQ_Continuum, dont see the apostrophy :|00:31
Kamping_KaiserQ_Continuum, you wont for a day or two.00:31
Kamping_Kaiserthe internet breaks for ~5 days after ubuntu gets released00:31
Q_ContinuumI tried running it pre-release, let me find the forum post00:31
Q_ContinuumI know :(00:31
Q_Continuumhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=578790&highlight=debmirror+gutsy00:32
Q_Continuumhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57879000:32
stiv2kwhat command do i need to upgrade?  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade doesnt show any available updates00:32
stiv2koh, maybe its do-release-upgrade ?00:33
Q_ContinuumI was planning on mirroring it the day before, and having 99% of the stuff on my server, then just any last-minute fixes to download after that.00:33
Q_ContinuumI'm stumped on the 'Patch binary missing, falling back to --pdiff=none' error.  I don't know what 'Patch binary' it is looking for :-/00:35
Kamping_KaiserQ_Continuum, try installing the package `patch`00:35
Q_Continuumwow, there actually is such an app.00:36
Yahooadamlol00:37
Yahooadammy bios fails so badly at CPU temp readings00:37
YahooadamCPU -126C/258F MB 125C/257F00:37
Kamping_KaiserQ_Continuum, yup :)00:39
Kamping_Kaiserlol @ bios00:39
Yahooadamive checked in ubuntu before and it was like 40C so im happy enough00:41
Yahooadamim pretty sure the bios is wrong ;)00:41
mastercane90 % off BIOS / chipset sensors on consumer hardware show wrong values...00:44
Yahooadamyeah but usually not _that_ wrong :p00:45
Yahooadammaybe off by like 5% or somthing, not 315%00:46
mastercaneokay - thats right ;)00:57

Ali_ixhow can i reconfigure/reset WHOLE network settings (interfaces, interface names, ip addreses and ptable rules) in ubuntu? any dpkg-recinfigure like command/way to do?09:55
sorenAli_ix: No, that stuff is scattered a bit.10:02
sorenAli_ix: Renaming of interfaces is in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.10:03
sorenAli_ix: ip address and such is in /etc/network/interfaces10:03
sorenAli_ix: iptables is up to you.10:03
Ali_ixsoren: thanks for info, i have changed/added some network card and now whole network is messed up :|10:04
sorenAli_ix: Which version of Ubuntu?10:06
Ali_ixsoren: Gutsy gibbon10:07
Ali_ixsoren: i thinks first thing is to name interfaces correctly10:08
sorenAli_ix: Interface names should never change.10:08
sorenAli_ix: That's that /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules is there for.10:08
Ali_ixsoren: i have 3 network cards, i have problem finding the interface connected to a specific network! if i can name them like eth-local eth-net eth-wireless it makes easie to config :)10:10
sorenAli_ix: Ah, right.10:14
sorenAli_ix: but Ubuntu should never be changing the names unless you've told it to do so.10:14
Ali_ixsoren: yes, i thought there would be something to re arrange interfaces! after some nic change/removal i have som strange interface neames! eth0 eth3! and no eth2 and eth1! while the eth3 nic is the one from before nic changes ... 8} a bit confusing10:16

stefgI could use some documentation about packaging a restricted module for a selfmade kernel. obviously the old fashioned module-assistant method from debian doesn't work, th moduöe isn't found, i think because retriced manager expects it in a different place. Googled around for some time now, but gutsy docu isn't very widespread yet, it seems14:31

nealmcbstiv2k: did you log back in?  what does "lsb_release -a" say?19:34
nealmcbstiv2k: did it warn you about upgrading over ssh, and create an additional ssh server on port 9004 in case of problems?20:17
nealmcbso you might try ssh -p 9004 user@machine   to get back in20:18
