booferbilli am getting a PANIC: CPU too old for kernel error02:09
booferbillI am trying to put it on a DELL laptop approxamately 4 years old02:10
ScottKbooferbill: You're installing ubuntu-server in a laptop?02:38
pwnguinScottK: when xubuntu is too heavy ;)03:27
kgoetza 4 yr od dll cant handl [x]ubuntu?03:28
faulkes-eh now?03:29
sommerit's because the server kernel is optimized for i586 while the desktop edition is optimized for i386, making it available for more hardware03:29
faulkes-i586 is older than 5 years iirc03:29
faulkes-er, 4 years03:30
sommersure, but seems like you only see that error with the server kernel on old hardware, where the desktop kernel works fine :-)03:30
kgoetzhas ubutu made its i386 kerne i486 and over? i assume yes?03:31
kgoetz(sorry aout the splling, my links not great)03:31
* faulkes- nods03:31
sommerapologies, the server kernel is i686 and desktop is i586 and i68603:32

faulkes-bare metal I have working04:06
faulkes-7.04 is straight forward, 7.10 has ide issues but they are documented04:06
faulkes-well, 7.04 adds an extraneous line to yaboot.conf which causes it to fail to boot without manual intervention of the almighty <enter> key04:07
faulkes-although I think it has something to do with bochsbios as I've been looking at things in launchpad04:09
faulkes-re: qemu that is04:10

faulkes-hrmmm, no04:11
kirklandfaulkes-: can you point me to such documentation?04:11
faulkes-7.10 was a module issue you needed to add at boot time04:11
faulkes-I'm unsure about hardy ppc04:11
kirklandoh, right, sorry04:11
faulkes-although if hardy ppc lacks an ide-pmac driver04:11

faulkes-7.10 running kqemu booting 8.04 current07:22
faulkes-it pops up a message saying that the kernel does not match the kernel in the archive and that modules are not available07:22
faulkes-I fought with qemu+ppc -> hardy all day to no avail, I also noted I needed to upgrade the bochsbios07:23
faulkes-so I figured I would give native x86 -> native x86 a try07:24
faulkes-I got a jeos image to boot/install07:24
faulkes-but no luck with installing off an 8.04 iso (and yes I checked the iso via the tool provided)07:25
faulkes-I don't have it handy right now, but I can recreate it tomorrow at some point and take some screenshots for you if you'd like07:25

_rubenany reason why the snmp tools arent configured with openssl support? this would enable the use of aes128 for example12:59

sorenLicensing.13:02
sorenopenssl's license and the gpl are not friends.13:03
henkjanand thats very annoying :(13:03
_rubenbut how come openssl itself is avail as a pkg then?13:04
_rubenheh .. on my suse machines the man page only lists DES, snmpget --help shows DES/AES but AES isnt available either .. but with ubuntu --help doesnt AES, but does show in manpage but with the appropriate comment that it might not be available .. then again, doesnt show much more than ubuntu being 'better' than suse ;)13:06
_rubenguess i'll just congifure my switches with des instead of aes then13:06
soren_ruben: Because openssl on its own is ok, and certain things are ok to link against openssl.13:11

jdstrandzul: have bugs been filed in LP?13:50
zulnot yet13:50
_rubensoren: bugger ;)13:51
foolanothe thing is we can't do slapcat -l /foopath cuz slapd is only allowed to write under /var/lib/ldap13:51
foolanoslapd ships a slapd.backup script and it doesn't work due to its apparmor profile13:51
jdstrandfoolano: would you mind filing a bug against openldap2.3 following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingApparmor?13:52
foolanono problem13:52
jdstrandfoolano: we can then work to get an appropriate fix13:52
jdstrandthanks!13:52
jdstrandfoolano: if the slapcat and slapd.backup are separate issues (and it sounds like they are, then they should be separate reports13:54
foolanook13:54
foolanobut it's basically the same problem13:54
foolanoslapcat only can write in /var/lib/ldap13:54
* jdstrand nods13:54
foolanoso there's no way to use the slapd.backup script13:54
foolanoit's  not very difficult to workaround but...13:55
jdstrandslapd.backup as shipped should work, so that is clearly a bug13:55
jdstrandslapcat to arbitrary locations is exactly what apparmor protects from, so it will need to be thought about more (perhaps allowing write to /tmp)13:56
foolanoyeah, slapd.backup tries to write to /var/backup/slapd13:57

mok0I am trying to debug the boot process in hardy, but I can't seem to find the log of all the various init.d scripts... where is that?16:22
mok0(not dmesg, syslog, messages...)16:23
faulkes-iirc init.d scripts are not logged, other than specific service level messages, such as daemon startups16:27
faulkes-which would be in syslog/messages16:27
mok0faulkes-: I think I got it: you have to enable bootlogd in /etc/default16:27
mok0faulkes-: and it should log in /var/log/boot16:28
mok0I will try it now... so long....16:28
spiekeykraut: so you have the -l option on gutsy?16:36
spiekeyermm... -k16:37
Stonekeeperhi there. Not sure if you already know this but on gutsy server, if you install php5-mysql when php5-cgi is not installed it will install apache also. if php5-cgi IS installed, it wont.16:59
faulkes-iirc that is because php5-cgi is multi-use with different httpd implementations17:03
faulkes-so it may not be appropriate to assume that apache should be installed, but that is just a inference on my part17:04
Stonekeeperfaulkes-: i would have thought, by that statement, it should not install any webserver.17:17
