hansinokay.  you have an ethernet cable plugged into your router right? (just makeing sure there is an ethernet card/jack in server)00:02
enaneryea00:02
enaneri just unplugged it from the server and then repluged it00:03
enanerthe green and orange light is on00:03
hansinokay, do this... "cd /etc/network"00:03
hansinby the way, what user are you logged onto the server as?00:04
enanerthen00:04

hansinokay.  type "ls".  do you see a file called interfaces?00:04

hansinboo.. I am wondering if it doesn't recognize eth0.  type "lspci" and see if it repsond with a network card.00:15
enanerethernet controller does show up00:16
hansinalso try "dmesg | grep eth0" though probably no entries...00:17
enanerbtw00:17
enanerthe server comp is in another room00:17
enanerso im runnin bak n forth00:17
enanerso i dun think this will work00:17
enanercan i run ubuntu desktop edition00:17
enanerand still run a irc and http server?00:17
hansinyou have a good pair of shoes??  sorry, didn't know you were running back and forth.  what kind/make/model of PC is the server?00:18
hansinI would really check "dmesg | grep -i eth" though and see if you get anything.  It could help if it is setting you card as ethX00:19
hansinon the bright side, hopefully you are learning a bit here.  even if you don't immediately retain all this, you are troubleshooting and developing that as a skill...00:22
enaneryea00:22
enanerbut i gotta run now00:22
enanerthankx for all ur help00:22

Arrickanyone know how to get the video in a Virtual PC 2007 VM to permanently start at vga=771 ?02:47
Arrick(server install for development)02:47
Arrickright now the video is way to large to read the login section, so its really hard to do anything on the local machine02:48
qman__if you edit the boot line during startup and add vga=771, it loads correctly?02:50
qman__if so, once it's booted, just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and modify the boot line02:51
qman__make sure to change it in the commented section too, so the automagic kernel generator will update it with that option02:51

mweicherthello! I use Intel Core 2 Duo processors... should I use the AMD64-bit edition of Ubuntu?22:00
RoAkSoAxmweichert, ia64 supports amd64 and EM6422:01
mweichertRoAkSoAx: okay, I just noticed that the ISO image ends with amd6422:02
mweichertsecond, is there a 64-bit version of JeOS?22:02
RoAkSoAxmweichert, it does, but it really is for ia64. And about JeOS i don't know for sure...22:03
infinityRoAkSoAx: ia64 != amd64.22:14
infinityRoAkSoAx: Please don't confuse them.22:14
infinityRoAkSoAx: It confuses others. :)22:14
infinityRoAkSoAx: ia64 is the Intel Itanium architecture.  amd64 is x86_64, aka "AMD Athlon", and "Intel Core2".22:14
jjessethere is not a 64 bit version of jeos22:15
mweichertjjesse: why not? :)22:17
lukehasnonamemweichert: The theory is that VMs won't use more than 4GB, I guess22:18
lukehasnonamekinda stupid.22:18
lukehasnonameAlso, you can use standard server iso's for a guest OS22:18
jjessei just thought thye hadn't built it yet22:19
jjesse<shrug>22:19
mweichertlukehasnoname: I put my all servers in VMs just for flexibility sake... it's easy to move them around and such22:20
mweichertlukehasnoname: wouldn't there be a bit of overhead in running x86 though... isn't the x86 instructions emulated on the 64-bit processors?22:21
lukehasnonameI'm no expert, but I don't think so22:22
lukehasnoname64 bit is an extension of x8622:23
infinitymweichert: x86_64 CPUs run 32-bit code with no penalty.22:29
infinity(Well, the penalty is access to fewer register, so it's a tiny bit slower than x86_64 code, but that's because x86 sucks, not something that would be improved running in 32-bit mode natively, which would still ignore the extra registers)22:30
infinitymweichert: The emulation you're thinking of would be ia64 (Itanium) CPUs emulating i386, which is precisely the confusion I was trying to steer RoAkSoAx away from. :)22:30
ScottKThe other penalty is you don't get to experience any 64 bit unique bugs.22:30
infinitymweichert: x86_64 is just an extension of x86 so, by definition, runs x86 code at native speeds.22:30
infinityScottK: Those are part of the fun!22:31
RoAkSoAxinfinity, yeah my bad ;)22:31
infinityScottK: And, to be fair, I've been running amd64 Ubuntu on my Core2 for a while now, and things have very much improved since the bad old days.22:33
infinityScottK: Heck, we even have cute wrappers for binary-only 32-bit browser plugins and stuff.22:33
mweichertwell thanks for the help guys, that helps a lot22:35
ScottKAnd on a server, I'd expect it to be better than on the desktop.22:35
ScottKPersonally I view it as some risk for infintesimal gain, so I don't bother.22:35
mweichertwould jeos serve well as a host?22:36
BrazenFrom the way I understand it, JEOS strips out a lot of hardware support because it expects to be run as a vm guest (which has a limited set of virtual hardware)22:38
BrazenSo, unless your physical hardware is the equivalent of the virtual hardware that gets presented to guests, you will probably be out of luck22:39
lukehasnonameBrazen: awesome22:41
Brazenlh(n^2): they do that for performance improvements :D22:45
