[00:00] <hansin> you will see something like "auto lo".  what about "auto eth0" (or eth1, eth2...)?
[00:00] <enaner> yea
[00:00] <hansin> eth0?
[00:00] <enaner> no etho
[00:00] <hansin> just "lo"?
[00:01] <hansin> "auto lo"?
[00:01] <enaner> yea
[00:01] <enaner> lo
[00:01] <enaner> and then auto lo
[00:01] <enaner> actually
[00:01] <enaner> auto lo
[00:02] <hansin> okay.  you have an ethernet cable plugged into your router right? (just makeing sure there is an ethernet card/jack in server)
[00:02] <enaner> yea
[00:03] <enaner> i just unplugged it from the server and then repluged it
[00:03] <enaner> the green and orange light is on
[00:03] <hansin> okay, do this... "cd /etc/network"
[00:04] <hansin> by the way, what user are you logged onto the server as?
[00:04] <enaner> then
[00:04] <enaner> murgi
[00:04] <hansin> okay.  type "ls".  do you see a file called interfaces?
[00:04] <enaner> yea
[00:05] <enaner> itsthe only one thats white
[00:05] <hansin> we are going back it up before editing it.  type "sudo cp interfaces interface.bak"
[00:05] <enaner> rest of the results are blue/purplish
[00:06] <enaner> done
[00:06] <enaner> then?
[00:06] <hansin> type "sudo nano interfaces" (nano is a text editor)
[00:07] <hansin> tell me when it has loaded...
[00:07] <enaner> ok
[00:07] <enaner> then
[00:07] <enaner> its loaded
[00:07] <hansin> down arrow to the botton, below the "auto lo" entry...
[00:07] <enaner> then
[00:08] <hansin> type "# eth0" and press return (this is a comment)
[00:08] <enaner> then
[00:08] <hansin> type "auto eth0" and press return
[00:09] <enaner> then
[00:09] <hansin> type "iface eth0 inet dhcp"
[00:09] <enaner> then
[00:10] <hansin> hit "cntl-x" and nano should then ask you if you want to save/write file.  hit "y" for yes.
[00:10] <enaner> then
[00:11] <hansin> gimme a sec...
[00:11] <hansin> type "cd /etc/init.d"
[00:12] <enaner> then
[00:13] <hansin> cross finger... no, wait, do this...
[00:13] <hansin> type "./networking restart" and pay attention to output messages.
[00:14] <enaner> it says unknown methods
[00:14] <enaner> couldn't read interfaces
[00:15] <enaner> etc/network/interfaces
[00:15] <hansin> boo.. I am wondering if it doesn't recognize eth0.  type "lspci" and see if it repsond with a network card.
[00:16] <enaner> ethernet controller does show up
[00:17] <hansin> also try "dmesg | grep eth0" though probably no entries...
[00:17] <enaner> btw
[00:17] <enaner> the server comp is in another room
[00:17] <enaner> so im runnin bak n forth
[00:17] <enaner> so i dun think this will work
[00:17] <enaner> can i run ubuntu desktop edition
[00:17] <enaner> and still run a irc and http server?
[00:18] <hansin> you 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?
[00:19] <hansin> I would really check "dmesg | grep -i eth" though and see if you get anything.  It could help if it is setting you card as ethX
[00:22] <hansin> on 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] <enaner> yea
[00:22] <enaner> but i gotta run now
[00:22] <enaner> thankx for all ur help
[00:22] <enaner> :)
[00:22] <hansin> okay, catch later if you want to try more.  need to figure out what you NIC card is registering as...
[00:32] <AtomicSpark> heh. the urge to restart an ubuntu server after updating it is still there. :3 been using windows too long.
[00:44] <Insomnia1ity> kernel update? :P
[00:50] <c1|freaky> ^^
[01:00] <zul> mathiaz: no idea
[01:40] <saltedlight> hi. is there any way to stop icmp replys using ufw? i have used "net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts = 1" on /etc/sysctl.conf but this is not working if ufw is enabled.
[02:35] <pubo> Hi
[02:36] <pubo> I'm looking for a wikiwikiweb clone to use in my office... do you know what is the best?
[02:36] <pubo> phpwiki? groupware-wiki? mediawiki?
[02:47] <Arrick> anyone 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)
[02:48] <Arrick> right now the video is way to large to read the login section, so its really hard to do anything on the local machine
[02:50] <qman__> if you edit the boot line during startup and add vga=771, it loads correctly?
[02:51] <qman__> if so, once it's booted, just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and modify the boot line
[02:51] <qman__> make sure to change it in the commented section too, so the automagic kernel generator will update it with that option
[03:41] <ckad> help
[03:44] <hads> !ask
[04:03] <dbbolton> if the integrity check  on the cd gets 90-some percent through before finding a problem, how risky is it to go ahead with installation?
[04:03] <lukehasnoname> Run it again, if it fails again, trash it
[04:04] <lukehasnoname> unless it's a play server for testing
[04:04] <hads> And you don't care if your test might fail ;)
[04:04] <dbbolton> i checked the md5sum before burning it. is it possible that the disc was bad?
[04:07] <lukehasnoname> I don't know, perhaps
[04:07] <dbbolton> all right. i'm going to check it again. thanks
[04:07] <lukehasnoname> good luck
[04:07] <lukehasnoname> heh
[05:54] <nxvl> zul: ping
[07:39] <macGerhard> how do I set the default shell for a new user to bash?
[07:40] <kees> macGerhard: that should be the defaul.t
[07:40] <kees> check /etc/adduser.conf
[08:11] <ivoks> uvirtbot: relax, it's friday :D
[08:12] <soren> Heh... Yeah, sorry about that. I messued its network settings a few days ago, and I've been traveling so unable to fix it until just now.
[08:13] <soren> I doubt that's the last ones.. :)
[08:13] <ivoks> :)
[08:13] <ivoks> don't worry, we'll just ignore it, as we do will all other bugs :DD
[08:14] <ivoks> s/will/with/
[08:14] <soren> ivoks: :)
[08:18] <soren> Looks like we've got a lot of work to do... :/
[08:29] <ivoks> what?
[08:29] <ivoks> bacula doesn't fail
[08:29] <ivoks> ever.
[08:29] <ivoks> oh, that's the one i triaged already
[09:03] <macGerhard> kees: hey mate, sorry, had to leave
[09:03] <macGerhard> ok, so when I create a new user
[09:03] <macGerhard> although in adduser.conf
[09:03] <macGerhard> the default shell is set to bash
[09:03] <kraut> moin
[09:03] <macGerhard> the user that I have created has sh as the default shell
[09:03] <macGerhard> how can I change this to bash?
[09:04] <macGerhard> Nafallo: hey, you alive and kicking?
[09:05] <macGerhard> anyone? how do I change the default shell for user?
[09:19] <Nafallo> macGerhard: chsh
[09:34] <macGerhard> Nafallo: yep, figured it out eventually
[09:34] <macGerhard> how's the new job treating you?
[09:35] <Nafallo> macGerhard: busy busy
[09:35] <macGerhard> at least it's all ubuntu busy ;)
[09:35] <macGerhard> I got a new VM as well, decided to go with gutsy
[09:35] <macGerhard> hope I won't regret it
[09:35] <macGerhard> it's different from centos
[09:35] <macGerhard> and apache has a different conf
[09:35] <macGerhard> but it's just a new system I suppose
[09:35] <macGerhard> will you be around for tips and tricks :)
[09:36] <macGerhard> Nafallo: I didn't ask, but you do know who I am, don't you?
[09:39] <Nafallo> macGerhard: ya
[09:40] <Nafallo> macGerhard: like in, ya I know who you are.
[09:48] <macGerhard> Nafallo: ok, that's good then ;)
[09:48] <macGerhard> you'll be seeing me in this channel often, asking for help with ubuntu
[09:48] <macGerhard> just until I get my head around it ;)
[09:48] <macGerhard> cheers Nafallo, I must shoot now
[09:48] <macGerhard> catch you later mate ;)
[13:20] <sommer_> morning all
[13:32] <kaloyan> hi can someone tell me what the timestamp in dmesg and the logs represent
[13:42] <zul> hi sommer_
[13:44] <ScottK> soren: Is there a particular reason why network-manager-openvpn can't be updated in Debian and sync'ed?
[13:45] <soren> ScottK: Apart from availability of time, no.
[13:45] <soren> Oh..
[13:45] <soren> Er... That's not entirely true, actually.
[13:46] <soren> I believe Debian has a /etc/init.d/NetworkManager script, while we have a /etc/dbus-blah/blah/NetworkManager script..
[13:47] <ScottK> Yes, but it'd trivial to check for existance and use what exists.
[14:05] <soren> ScottK: Sure.
[14:06] <soren> ScottK: It not complicated at all. It's just a simple gotcha that one should keep in mind.
[14:28] <jjesse> anyone else having problems getting to the dovecot website?
[14:34] <sommer_> jjesse: works fine for me :)
[14:34] <jjesse> seriously?
[14:35] <sommer_> yep, no issues that I can see
[14:35] <jjesse> it times out for me
[14:35] <jjesse> tried it on 3 different boxes
[14:35] <sommer_> hmmm... maybe a dns issue?
[14:35] <jjesse> maybe, but other pages work
[14:35] <jjesse> i bet i'm not suppposed to be looking up other mail servers here :)
[14:36] <jjesse> i'll blame microsoft
[14:37] <sommer_> heh, they're probably out to get you... it happens

[17:53] <Insomnia1ity> lol
[19:02] <lukehasnoname> hello
[20:31] <drekk1> http://www.expressen.se/nyheter/1.1205194/han-svek-sitt-lofte-till-mig
[20:31] <drekk1> sorry, wrong window :)
[22:00] <mweichert> hello! I use Intel Core 2 Duo processors... should I use the AMD64-bit edition of Ubuntu?
[22:01] <RoAkSoAx> mweichert, ia64 supports amd64 and EM64
[22:02] <mweichert> RoAkSoAx: okay, I just noticed that the ISO image ends with amd64
[22:02] <mweichert> second, is there a 64-bit version of JeOS?
[22:03] <RoAkSoAx> mweichert, it does, but it really is for ia64. And about JeOS i don't know for sure...
[22:14] <infinity> RoAkSoAx: ia64 != amd64.
[22:14] <infinity> RoAkSoAx: Please don't confuse them.
[22:14] <infinity> RoAkSoAx: It confuses others. :)
[22:14] <infinity> RoAkSoAx: ia64 is the Intel Itanium architecture.  amd64 is x86_64, aka "AMD Athlon", and "Intel Core2".
[22:15] <jjesse> there is not a 64 bit version of jeos
[22:17] <mweichert> jjesse: why not? :)
[22:18] <lukehasnoname> mweichert: The theory is that VMs won't use more than 4GB, I guess
[22:18] <lukehasnoname> kinda stupid.
[22:18] <lukehasnoname> Also, you can use standard server iso's for a guest OS
[22:19] <jjesse> i just thought thye hadn't built it yet

[22:20] <mweichert> lukehasnoname: I put my all servers in VMs just for flexibility sake... it's easy to move them around and such
[22:21] <mweichert> lukehasnoname: wouldn't there be a bit of overhead in running x86 though... isn't the x86 instructions emulated on the 64-bit processors?
[22:22] <lukehasnoname> I'm no expert, but I don't think so
[22:23] <lukehasnoname> 64 bit is an extension of x86
[22:29] <infinity> mweichert: x86_64 CPUs run 32-bit code with no penalty.
[22:30] <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] <infinity> mweichert: 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] <ScottK> The other penalty is you don't get to experience any 64 bit unique bugs.
[22:30] <infinity> mweichert: x86_64 is just an extension of x86 so, by definition, runs x86 code at native speeds.
[22:31] <infinity> ScottK: Those are part of the fun!
[22:31] <RoAkSoAx> infinity, yeah my bad ;)
[22:33] <infinity> ScottK: 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] <infinity> ScottK: Heck, we even have cute wrappers for binary-only 32-bit browser plugins and stuff.
[22:35] <mweichert> well thanks for the help guys, that helps a lot
[22:35] <ScottK> And on a server, I'd expect it to be better than on the desktop.
[22:35] <ScottK> Personally I view it as some risk for infintesimal gain, so I don't bother.
[22:36] <mweichert> would jeos serve well as a host?
[22:38] <Brazen> From 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)
[22:39] <Brazen> So, unless your physical hardware is the equivalent of the virtual hardware that gets presented to guests, you will probably be out of luck
[22:41] <lukehasnoname> Brazen: awesome
[22:45] <Brazen> lh(n^2): they do that for performance improvements :D
[22:46] <lukehasnoname> so how do I check if php is running from console?
[22:47] <lukehasnoname> hm actually I bet I should reboot
[22:48] <thenewguy> leo
[22:48] <thenewguy> he and moving stuff
[22:55] <nxvl> soren: around?
[23:19] <Brazen> nxvl: more of an oblong
[23:20] <Brazen> lukehasnoname: don't reboot, just do a "sudo apachectl reload-config" or something like that, so there's no downtime
[23:21]  * Brazen leaves
[23:54] <mweichert> anyone here use VmWare?
[23:54] <RoAkSoAx> mweichert, i do
[23:55] <mweichert> RoAkSoAx: do you create virtual disks or allocate real partitions?
[23:55] <RoAkSoAx> mweichert, virtual Disks
[23:56] <mweichert> RoAkSoAx: hmm, and you don't have any performance issues?
[23:57] <RoAkSoAx> mweichert, haven't test that but i run from 4 to 6 VM's on my Desktop and work just fine
