| yarddog | anyone notice after updating to 8.04, that the nvidia binary thinks this is a xen kernel and wont install? | 00:09 |
|---|---|---|
| yarddog | i guess the nvidia binary thinks the new server kernel supports xen | 00:41 |
| sommer | yarddog: I'm pretty sure that it does | 00:43 |
| yarddog | yeah, im wondering how to get the nvidia support then | 00:43 |
| sommer | are you installing the nvidia drivers on a server kernel? | 00:43 |
| yarddog | binary | 00:44 |
| yarddog | its from their site | 00:44 |
| sommer | you'll probably want to install the generic kernel then | 00:44 |
| yarddog | nv works in xorg | 00:44 |
| yarddog | may have to live with it | 00:44 |
| sommer | vesa should work too, heh | 00:45 |
| yarddog | hehe | 00:45 |
| sommer | are you installing on an actual server or a test machine? just wondering why you'd want the nvidia drivers on a server | 00:46 |
| yarddog | its an actual server, here at home for a home based business, its a micron NF3400 | 00:46 |
| yarddog | i installed xfce for the sake of have the gui option | 00:46 |
| sommer | ah, the desktop kernel should work with the drivers and work fine then... if you need nvidia that is | 00:47 |
| yarddog | no need really | 00:47 |
| yarddog | i can just put nv in the xorg, it works | 00:47 |
| sommer | cool | 00:48 |
| yarddog | its an old card anyway | 00:48 |
| yarddog | fx 5200 | 00:48 |
| yarddog | my windows box has the 7600 gs | 00:48 |
| yarddog | that one im a bit more picky about :) | 00:48 |
| sommer | heh, my 6800 just crapped out on my desktop... sigh | 00:49 |
| yarddog | i know someone that is running one of those | 00:49 |
| yarddog | he likes it on either linux or xp, but not on vista | 00:49 |
| sommer | heh, I haven't met anyone who likes vista | 00:50 |
| yarddog | you just did, but only because im lucky enough to have it work | 00:50 |
| yarddog | 'lucky' | 00:50 |
| yarddog | thats my workbox | 00:51 |
| sommer | oh come on there's no need to lie :-) | 00:51 |
| yarddog | lol | 00:51 |
| yarddog | vista on my sony vaio, xp on my dell laptop, ubuntu-server on this micron, and the wife has vista on her dell | 00:52 |
| yarddog | eventually i would like to get another box for a linux play machine :) | 00:53 |
| yarddog | i got this micron with the intention of running the ubuntu server though, ive been running xampp | 00:53 |
| yarddog | but on windows | 00:53 |
| yarddog | so i want to transfer that to this | 00:54 |
| yarddog | more stability in terms of uptime im sure | 00:54 |
| Nafallo | who is running solaris? | 00:55 |
| Nafallo | and what is the three-finger-salute to reboot or shut down? | 00:55 |
| yarddog | lol | 00:55 |
| yarddog | power button | 00:55 |
| yarddog | or unplug | 00:55 |
| Nafallo | oki. so nothing to just have it reboot without login is there? | 00:56 |
| yarddog | ive not seen a solaris box in 3 years | 00:56 |
| yarddog | so i plead the 5th on that | 00:57 |
| Nafallo | oki | 00:58 |
| rhineheart_m | hello.. can anybody here assist me in the removal of webmin.. I know of something to remove it.. just please advise which to do: aptitude purge webmin or this one sudo apt-get remove --purge webmin ? I want all its configuration be removed too | 02:35 |
| ScottK | rhineheart_m: Best ask in the place you got the package from. They'll know best. I suspect either of those would work, but I don't know the package. | 02:54 |

| owh | Salutations. I've got a few scripts that together provide some functionality - think of it as an application, although it isn't really. In the past I've stored the scripts in a directory inside /root/myFooBar and symlinked to the scripts from /etc/cron.*, /var/www and /usr/local/bin, but I thought I'd ask if there were Ubuntu standard ways of doing this? | 04:52 |
| * owh really doesn't want to create a package to make this work, but I want it to be obvious for any future administrator. | 04:54 | |
| owh | I wonder if the most appropriate location for the myFooBar directory is inside /opt? | 04:56 |
| ScottK | owh: There or usr/local. | 05:47 |

| owh | ScottK: I looked at usr/local, but only found generic folders like games, X11, so I opted for /opt - pun intended :) | 08:27 |
| owh | I'm trying to migrate an ancient smbpasswd file to the samba v3 tdb format. The command I think I'm supposed to use is: pdbedit -i smbpasswd:old.server/etc/samba/smbpasswd -e tdbsam - the error I get is: "Unable to set account database iterator for smbpasswd!", which doesn't appear in any manual and the google hits don't help either. Suggestions? | 08:36 |
| owh | In case anyone is goog-ling and comes across this question, the answer was to copy the smbpasswd file into /etc/samba, then run pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam and it appeared to work. This URL helped: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=422302&seqNum=3 | 09:12 |
| jeandaniel | Hello, can the standard hardy heron server can boot on lvm? or should we devote a small ext3 partition for /boot? | 11:44 |
| blue-frog | lvm needs /boot | 11:44 |
| jeandaniel | a year ago, the latest grub had seen some progress in booting over lvm and over efi, but I could not reproduce that success | 11:45 |
| === joerlend_ is now known as XiXaQ | ||
| baffle | jeandaniel: Is that grub1 or grub2? | 13:35 |
| baffle | Quick google reveals this: http://grub.enbug.org/LVMandRAID | 13:36 |
| jeandaniel | it is grub2 | 14:08 |
| jeandaniel | but the project insist to call grub2 'grub' and grub1 'grub legacy' | 14:08 |
| jeandaniel | I have installed hardy heron server on my mac mini in the cupboard, installed hardy jeos into a kvm virtual machine. Now from anywhere, I can type 'ssh jeandanieldomain' to land on the vm | 14:20 |
| jeandaniel | Good job ubuntu | 14:21 |
| jeandaniel | took three hours, and it works almost out of the box | 14:21 |
| jeandaniel | to be fair it took less than that but some roomate is bugging me with the laundry and the washing up | 14:25 |

| tmadsen | Hi, I have a setup that looks like this: http://tmadsen.net/setup.png. I need to have the two networks N1 and N2 talking to each other, and both have access to the internet trough the firewall. Does anyone have a good idea on how to configre the firewall to make that possible? | 15:35 |
| faulkes- | the easiest way it to add an additional network card to the firewall as from your .png, it would appear you are trying to run two subnets off one nic | 15:38 |
| tmadsen | I am | 15:38 |
| tmadsen | so with the extra nic, you would use bridging? | 15:38 |
| faulkes- | not really, just basic routing | 15:39 |
| tmadsen | trough e.g. iptables? | 15:39 |
| faulkes- | the only interface that I see requiring iptables is eth0, the one connected to the internet, which needs to be configured to use nat | 15:40 |
| tmadsen | can't use nat, I have two webservers behind the firewall | 15:40 |
| faulkes- | yes, you can ;) | 15:41 |
| tmadsen | ok, so how can i tell which webserver should respond to port 80 requests? | 15:42 |
| faulkes- | nat & masquerade | 15:42 |
| faulkes- | well, I am assuming the ip's you have provided are the ones you are using, which require the use of nat in any case | 15:43 |
| faulkes- | unless those ip's are different and actually globally accessable | 15:43 |
| tmadsen | the N1 and N2 ips are globally accessible | 15:43 |
| faulkes- | essentially, what you want to do is have eth0 pretend to be all of the accessible ip's and then do a masquerade to the internal ip's which are actually 1918 based addresses | 15:44 |
| faulkes- | so if a request comes in for aaa.bbb.ccc.web_server1 it forwards/masquerades it to 192.168.26.N1 | 15:45 |
| faulkes- | and if a request comes in for aaa.bbb.ccc.web_server2 it forwards/masquerades it to 192.168.26.N2 | 15:46 |
| faulkes- | and where I have specified aaa.etc.. that is the global IP and 192.168.x.x is an actual rfc1918 address internal to your network | 15:47 |
| faulkes- | although not fully particular to your case, this is generally covered in the linux virtual server project | 15:48 |
| tmadsen | mhm, thanks | 15:50 |
| tmadsen | a light went on, I'll try it ... thank you | 15:50 |

| AtomicSpark | is there anyway to display a wine application on a terminal only machine? maybe export it to a tty or vnc-server? i see these options "-monitor dev" and "-vnc display" but not sure what they do. any thoughts? | 19:52 |
| soren | AtomicSpark: Those look like qemu options? | 20:04 |
| AtomicSpark | yes | 20:05 |
| soren | er.. | 20:05 |
| soren | Are you asking about wine or qemu? | 20:06 |
| AtomicSpark | heh. wine :P sorry. was playing with kvm at the same time. | 20:06 |
| soren | Ok. The question is completely off-topic here, but the answer is wineconsole. | 20:07 |
| AtomicSpark | well i'd be using it on a server and i figured someone here would have more terminal experience :P | 20:08 |
| soren | andyd: Hi there :) | 20:27 |
| andyd | why hello there. :-) | 20:27 |
| soren | andyd: The major differences you'll find are: The different release schedule, a different kernel, and AFAIR a rather different approach to booting and device handling. The latter will probably not be apparant, unless you start digging. | 20:30 |
| aliguori | soren, is it possible to do an ubuntu-server install over the serial port? | 20:30 |
| soren | aliguori: Should be, yes. | 20:30 |
| aliguori | i'm playing around with a linux kernel patch right now that makes the guest kernel aware of when it's being run with -nographic | 20:30 |
| aliguori | i've got a grub patch too | 20:31 |
| aliguori | soren, any clue what it takes? | 20:31 |
| soren | What does it do in that case? | 20:31 |
| soren | aliguori: Yeah, I'm digging out the docs now. | 20:31 |
| aliguori | soren, automatically output to the serial port | 20:31 |
| aliguori | so in linux, it adds ttyS0 as the preferred console | 20:31 |
| aliguori | the idea is to make it so something like qemu -cdrom ubuntu-server.iso -boot d -nographic Just Works | 20:32 |
| soren | aliguori: Ah. Makes sense. | 20:32 |
| soren | I'm not even sure what happens in that case right now? | 20:32 |
| aliguori | nothing :-( | 20:33 |
| aliguori | -nographic just hides the vga screen and redirects the serial port to stdio | 20:33 |
| aliguori | but the guest doesn't know you're using it, so it still outputs to vga | 20:33 |
| aliguori | so right now, you have to configure your guest to use serial explicitly to make use of -nographic | 20:33 |
| soren | Yeah, I see. I would have thought isolinux did something clever. | 20:33 |
| soren | (I'm considering the installer case) | 20:33 |
| aliguori | right | 20:34 |
| aliguori | well, my patch makes it detectable via cpuid that serial is the preferred console | 20:34 |
| aliguori | so it should be easy enough | 20:34 |
| andyd | The different release schedule is what interests me most, soren. | 20:35 |
| soren | Oh, ok. I thought you'd just detect the absence of vga and switch to ttyS0. | 20:35 |
| aliguori | soren, the vga is still there | 20:36 |
| soren | aliguori: Oh, just not hooked up to anything? | 20:36 |
| aliguori | soren, correct | 20:36 |
| soren | Gotcha. | 20:36 |
| aliguori | you pretty much have to have a vga device for an x86 guest | 20:36 |
| soren | I thought that was more of a BIOS limitation. | 20:36 |
| aliguori | most bootloaders assume it too i think | 20:37 |
| soren | Possibly. I have no clue, I'm just making this up as I go along :) | 20:37 |
| soren | andyd: Yeah, I sort of gathered :) | 20:37 |
| andyd | How soon will Hardy server be released ? | 20:38 |
| soren | April 24th. | 20:39 |
| andyd | oh, very soon then. | 20:39 |
| Goliath23 | hi | 21:31 |
| Goliath23 | anyone has experience with updating from 6.06 to 8.04? | 21:31 |
| Deeps | 8.04 isn't out of beta yet | 21:36 |
| Deeps | so you're probably better waiting ... 25? days til it's out i guess | 21:36 |
| nijaba | Goliath23: we do want to hear from you if you can test it though. We are trying to make sure this goes smoothly, but the more tests the merrier | 21:37 |
| Deeps | true | 21:38 |
| Goliath23 | hm, I see. I'm installing an ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS in a virtualbox right now and will clone my system in terms of installed packages | 22:08 |
| Goliath23 | to test it for my production server | 22:08 |
| Goliath23 | unfortunately, my server is x64 and I think I can't test that with virtualbox | 22:08 |
| JanC | virtualbox supports x86-64 | 22:09 |
| JanC | at least when the host is also 64-bits | 22:09 |
| Goliath23 | oh does it? I culdn't find the setting.. | 22:09 |
| Goliath23 | hm, okay. hardware is, but I installed the opensuse x86 on my workstation so I guess it's not | 22:10 |
| slide | Im trying to use apache + mysql auth and whe apache was at ver 2.0 I used libapache2-mod-auth-mysql but that is no longer compatible with 2.2 The replacement is libapache2-mod-authn-dbd but this is not available, can anyone help me figure out how to get it setup? | 22:10 |
| Goliath23 | why i'm asking about upgrading in the first place is just exim to be honest. dapper has version 4.60, but I need at last 4.62 because of some features I want to use | 22:11 |
| Goliath23 | any idea if it's possible to get updated exim4 packages for dapper? | 22:11 |
| JanC | hardy has 4.69 packages | 22:12 |
| Goliath23 | but I won't be able to install them on dapper, won't I? | 22:12 |
| JanC | you could try te rebuild source packages of a newer version of exim on dapper | 22:13 |
| Goliath23 | hm, yes | 22:13 |
| Goliath23 | I did a rebuild of a source package once, but it's been a while. do you have a tutorial on that? | 22:13 |
| Goliath23 | hm, my dapper on virtualbox won't boot. hangs on "booting the kernel" :/ | 22:15 |
| JanC | dpkg-buildpackage | 22:16 |
