NCommandergarrettkajmowicz, ping?00:00
garrettkajmowiczNCommander: Anything more recent would be good.00:04
garrettkajmowiczSorry - phone call with relatives.00:04
NCommanderfirst try do-release-upgrade -p00:04
garrettkajmowiczI c an always do a multistage upgrade.00:04
NCommanderIf that doesn't work, I'll talk you through doing a direct dapper->hardy upgrade via editing sources.list00:04
garrettkajmowiczTrying...00:04
mathiazNCommander: considering that he's running edgy, I wouldn't recommend to upgrade to hardy directly.00:06
NCommanderNo, he's running dapper00:06
mathiazThis upgrade path (edgy -> hardy) has never been tested.00:06
NCommanderThe do-release-upgrade tried to upgrade him to edgy which doesn't exist anymore00:06
mathiazNCommander:  My server is running 6.1000:07
NCommandergarrettkajmowicz, you are running dapper, or did I misunderstand you00:07
mathiaz                          and I want to upgrade00:07
NCommanderEr00:07
* NCommander shoots his foot :-)00:07
NCommanderOk00:07
NCommanderMy mistake00:07
NCommanderI thought he was running dapper, not edgy (I thought dapper = 6.10)00:07
garrettkajmowiczNCommander: Currently 6.10 - edgy00:07
NCommandergarrettkajmowicz, it will require multiple upgrades to get you to the current release00:07
garrettkajmowiczThat's fine - the first one's going to be hard.  -p gave me the same problem as before.00:08
NCommander(it might be possible to go straight to hardy, but it might also break your system, this is the only sane way)00:08
NCommanderYeah00:08
NCommanderNo problem00:08
NCommanderdo sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list00:08
mathiazgarrettkajmowicz: if do-release-upgrade doesn't work, you can try apt-get dist-upgrade00:09
garrettkajmowiczNCommander: Opened for edit.00:09
mathiazgarrettkajmowicz: it's not really supported, but for servers there is good change it will work.00:09
NCommandermathiaz, the problem is do-release-upgrade trying to get its updated core from the repos, but edgy been removed from the mirrors00:09
NCommanderAnd then do a search and replace for edgy, and replace with feisty00:09
NCommander^- garrettkajmowicz00:09
uvirtbot`NCommander: Error: "-" is not a valid command.00:09
NCommander-_-;00:10
NCommanderstupid bot00:10
garrettkajmowiczShould I convert old-releases.ubuntu.com to archive.ubuntu.com as well?00:11
NCommanderYes00:11
NCommandergarrettkajmowicz, yeah. We're going to upgrade you to feisty by hand, then you can do do-release-upgrade to go from feisty to gutsy to hardy00:12
garrettkajmowiczOK - edit complete.00:13
NCommanderSave and close00:13
NCommandertype: sudo aptitude update00:14
NCommander(this will prepare aptitude to do the actual upgrade, the next command will update your system)00:14
garrettkajmowiczOops - missed a case of old-releases.00:15
garrettkajmowiczI assume I should shut down unneeded processes like the web server...00:15
NCommandergarrettkajmowicz, nope, aptitude will take care of that as needed00:15
garrettkajmowiczUpdate complete00:15
NCommanderOk00:16
NCommandersudo aptitude dist-upgrade00:16
NCommanderThis will take a LONG time depending on how many packages you need to update, but once its done, you'll be running Feisty Fawn00:17
garrettkajmowiczCool.  Now fetching package 2/351.  This should take about 2 hours to download.  Hopefully you'll be around in the unlikely event that something goes wrong then.00:17
NCommanderOnce thats done00:17
NCommanderRun do-release-upgrade to go from feisty to gutsy, and again to go to hardy, which is the current LTS00:18
NCommander(what we just did was what do-release-upgrade pretty much does internally)00:18
garrettkajmowiczCool.  I've done that before and it's really quite nice.  I ran into the same problem with my desktop, but I kludged a different solution.  I created a local merged repository on my desktop containing both edgy and feisty, which allowed the dist upgrade to work.  That took 2 days to do, and I knew there had to be a better way!00:19
NCommanderEw00:19
NCommanderYeah00:19
NCommanderThis is the easier way ;-)00:19
garrettkajmowiczThank you so much.00:19
NCommanderJust remember to keep your system more up to date next time if possible ;-)00:20
garrettkajmowiczWell, until about 3 months ago I didn't know about/trust the upgrade tools.  My main experience with that had been Mandrake (ick), or Windows (they have 20k engineers - how can upgrade NOT work?).  So I had planned to wait until I couldn't take it any longer and do a complete upgrade.00:21
garrettkajmowiczIe re-install.00:21
NCommanderHeh00:21
NCommanderUpgrades on Ubuntu pretty rarely break00:22
NCommanderIts a fairly well tested process as long as you don't attempt to jump releases00:22
garrettkajmowiczHmm.  Since We're on the subject - my laptop has the same problem.  What scares me it that it uses LUCKS (encryption) for everything but a 200M boot partition, and I'm nervous that things might go boom.00:22
NCommanderI can help you upgrade00:24
NCommanderBut I recommend that you hug your backup first00:24
garrettkajmowiczYeah.  My laptop doesn't actually have much on it.  It does mail by IMAP and most everything is dumb internet videos or dupliucate copies of documents which are out of date by 8 months.  I guess there's my freecell stats, but I'm not too worried.  I'm going to wait until my server works before I try something a little more risky, though.   :-)00:27
NCommanderheh00:27
NCommandernormally after each upgrade you should reboot, however, given that your simply going from release to release, its not necessary to reboot until after hardy is install00:28
garrettkajmowiczI *expect* to loose my laptop.  People think it's valuable (I bought it used for $200 3 years ago), and it's likely to be dropped.00:28
garrettkajmowiczOK - once download is done (198/351) we can start all over again00:29
garrettkajmowicz! :-)00:29
NCommanderYeah00:31
NCommanderWell, this is what you get for not upgrading ;-)00:31
* NCommander is shot00:31
garrettkajmowiczLong day, or perforated?00:32
NCommanderHuh?00:33
garrettkajmowiczErr - you are shot.  That either implies fatigue (you've had a long day), or that you've been shot with a projectile (thus having hole(s) in you, thus perforation).00:34
garrettkajmowiczIt sounded funnier in my head...   :-)00:35
NCommander-_-;00:36
NCommanderhow goes the upgrade?00:36
garrettkajmowiczDownloading 386/35100:37
garrettkajmowiczOK - done fetching.  Now extracting.00:38
garrettkajmowiczSome problems with Apache - but I can deal with those later.  Regenerating the initramfs00:43
NCommander386/351 O_o;00:48
NCommanderErrr00:48
garrettkajmowiczOK - I ran into a problem with configuration.01:06
garrettkajmowiczNM - diff just took 3 minutes01:07
garrettkajmowiczUnpacking more stuff while I manually update the mdadm config files...01:23
garrettkajmowiczOK - upgrade is done (though Wordpress isn't working correctly at the moment...)01:30
garrettkajmowiczShould I try another update, reboot, or try to get current applications working correctly?01:30
garrettkajmowiczOK - let's go for a reboot!01:43
garrettkajmowiczSee you on the flip side (loosing network connectivity momentarily)01:48
garrettkajmowiczAwesome.  A reboot and wordpress is working again.  Now to check mail services...01:58
garrettkajmowiczLooks good, too.  I guess I'll move forward to the next version and see how that works.  Thanks for all your help!01:59

randomlogic78I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server Edition and I want to put the server on my wireless network with a D-Link AR5212.  Do I need to install everything from scratch, or is madwifi support built into the server edition?15:24
taconehello, I need a lightweight smtp for local website testing. any suggestion ?15:58

mib_h5z0mp66how to Installing Ubuntu 8.04 server in Virtual PC 200716:38
randomlogic78I followed the directions on this site -> http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/802.11i to set up my wifi card on Hardy-server and I'm not getting connected to my network.  When I try to ping the router, the network is unreachable, and the link light blinking slowly on my nic19:06
randomlogic78sudo wpa_supplicant -w -Dwext -i ath0 -c/etc/wpa)supplicant.conf repeats the error "No such device" and "Could not set interface 'ath0' UP19:07
Crewsr3Can I set up a server that everyone can get to but lock down the content filtering part of just one user.  Is it as simple as user rights?  I'm installing Dansguardian and I want to be the only person that can access those settings20:02
Crewsr3I also have webadmin set so so would I have the same setting for web admin access20:02
randomlogic78On bootup my server gives the error that apache can not determine my domain name and it uses 127.0.0.1 instead... how do I set the domain name?20:34
blue-frogjust a warning, not an error20:41
blue-froggive a FQDN in /etc/hosts20:41
randomlogic78thanks... just added the FQDN to hosts and rebooting now20:42
blue-frogreboot?20:42
randomlogic78I'm still annoyed that I have to run two commands to connect to my wireless network though, I wish this would happen at boot.20:42
randomlogic78I suppose I could have restarted apache, but don't know how yet20:43
blue-frogserver? on wireless?20:43
randomlogic78yea20:43
randomlogic78I know, everyone thinks it's strange... but it's the best solution for me20:44
