[00:00] garrettkajmowicz, ping? [00:04] NCommander: Anything more recent would be good. [00:04] Sorry - phone call with relatives. [00:04] first try do-release-upgrade -p [00:04] I c an always do a multistage upgrade. [00:04] If that doesn't work, I'll talk you through doing a direct dapper->hardy upgrade via editing sources.list [00:04] Trying... [00:06] NCommander: considering that he's running edgy, I wouldn't recommend to upgrade to hardy directly. [00:06] No, he's running dapper [00:06] This upgrade path (edgy -> hardy) has never been tested. [00:06] The do-release-upgrade tried to upgrade him to edgy which doesn't exist anymore [00:07] NCommander: My server is running 6.10 [00:07] garrettkajmowicz, you are running dapper, or did I misunderstand you [00:07] and I want to upgrade [00:07] Er [00:07] * NCommander shoots his foot :-) [00:07] Ok [00:07] My mistake [00:07] I thought he was running dapper, not edgy (I thought dapper = 6.10) [00:07] NCommander: Currently 6.10 - edgy [00:07] garrettkajmowicz, it will require multiple upgrades to get you to the current release [00:08] That's fine - the first one's going to be hard. -p gave me the same problem as before. [00:08] (it might be possible to go straight to hardy, but it might also break your system, this is the only sane way) [00:08] Yeah [00:08] No problem [00:08] do sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [00:09] garrettkajmowicz: if do-release-upgrade doesn't work, you can try apt-get dist-upgrade [00:09] NCommander: Opened for edit. [00:09] garrettkajmowicz: it's not really supported, but for servers there is good change it will work. [00:09] mathiaz, the problem is do-release-upgrade trying to get its updated core from the repos, but edgy been removed from the mirrors [00:09] And then do a search and replace for edgy, and replace with feisty [00:09] ^- garrettkajmowicz [00:09] NCommander: Error: "-" is not a valid command. [00:10] -_-; [00:10] stupid bot [00:11] Should I convert old-releases.ubuntu.com to archive.ubuntu.com as well? [00:11] Yes [00:12] garrettkajmowicz, 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 hardy [00:13] OK - edit complete. [00:13] Save and close [00:14] type: sudo aptitude update [00:14] (this will prepare aptitude to do the actual upgrade, the next command will update your system) [00:15] Oops - missed a case of old-releases. [00:15] I assume I should shut down unneeded processes like the web server... [00:15] garrettkajmowicz, nope, aptitude will take care of that as needed [00:15] Update complete [00:16] Ok [00:16] sudo aptitude dist-upgrade [00:17] This will take a LONG time depending on how many packages you need to update, but once its done, you'll be running Feisty Fawn [00:17] Cool. 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] Once thats done [00:18] Run do-release-upgrade to go from feisty to gutsy, and again to go to hardy, which is the current LTS [00:18] (what we just did was what do-release-upgrade pretty much does internally) [00:19] Cool. 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] Ew [00:19] Yeah [00:19] This is the easier way ;-) [00:19] Thank you so much. [00:20] Just remember to keep your system more up to date next time if possible ;-) [00:21] Well, 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] Ie re-install. [00:21] Heh [00:22] Upgrades on Ubuntu pretty rarely break [00:22] Its a fairly well tested process as long as you don't attempt to jump releases [00:22] Hmm. 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. [00:24] I can help you upgrade [00:24] But I recommend that you hug your backup first [00:27] Yeah. 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] heh [00:28] normally 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 install [00:28] I *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. [00:29] OK - once download is done (198/351) we can start all over again [00:29] ! :-) [00:31] Yeah [00:31] Well, this is what you get for not upgrading ;-) [00:31] * NCommander is shot [00:32] Long day, or perforated? [00:33] Huh? [00:34] Err - 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). [00:35] It sounded funnier in my head... :-) [00:36] -_-; [00:36] how goes the upgrade? [00:37] Downloading 386/351 [00:38] OK - done fetching. Now extracting. [00:43] Some problems with Apache - but I can deal with those later. Regenerating the initramfs [00:48] 386/351 O_o; [00:48] Errr [01:06] OK - I ran into a problem with configuration. [01:07] NM - diff just took 3 minutes [01:23] Unpacking more stuff while I manually update the mdadm config files... [01:30] OK - upgrade is done (though Wordpress isn't working correctly at the moment...) [01:30] Should I try another update, reboot, or try to get current applications working correctly? [01:43] OK - let's go for a reboot! [01:48] See you on the flip side (loosing network connectivity momentarily) [01:58] Awesome. A reboot and wordpress is working again. Now to check mail services... [01:59] Looks good, too. I guess I'll move forward to the next version and see how that works. Thanks for all your help!

Do I need to install everything from scratch, or is madwifi support built into the server edition? [15:58] hello, I need a lightweight smtp for local website testing. any suggestion ? [16:24] tacone: ssmtp works well for that type of situation [16:24] nice, thanks [16:25] welcome [16:38] how to Installing Ubuntu 8.04 server in Virtual PC 2007 [19:06] I 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 nic [19:07] sudo wpa_supplicant -w -Dwext -i ath0 -c/etc/wpa)supplicant.conf repeats the error "No such device" and "Could not set interface 'ath0' UP [20:02] Can 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 settings [20:02] I also have webadmin set so so would I have the same setting for web admin access [20:34] On 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? [20:41] just a warning, not an error [20:41] give a FQDN in /etc/hosts [20:42] thanks... just added the FQDN to hosts and rebooting now [20:42] reboot? [20:42] I'm still annoyed that I have to run two commands to connect to my wireless network though, I wish this would happen at boot. [20:43] I suppose I could have restarted apache, but don't know how yet [20:43] server? on wireless? [20:43] yea [20:44] I know, everyone thinks it's strange... but it's the best solution for me === SchneeSchwarz_ is now known as SchneeSchwarz [22:21] am I crazy or does visudo use nano in ibex [22:31] hi [23:54] under LAMP, my virtualhosts arn't responding to .htaccess files, any suggestions?
