ladfnethow come ubuntu does not forget my network settings that are not set in /etc/network/interfaces?10:25
ladfnetwhen i reboot...10:25
Deepsyou used any tools to configure your network interfaces?10:30
Deepsor configured for dhcp, and reaquiring the same dhcp lease from your dhcp server10:30
ladfnetthere's not dhcp, just static ip's set.10:34
ladfneti use ifconfig to bring up an interface10:35
ladfnetand I have two vlans on eth0 as a trunk nic10:35
ladfnetthe first vlan is set in the interface file, but the second is not.10:35
ladfnetwhen I reboot they are both up.10:35
ladfnetThe really wierd thing is that if I do a /etc/init.d/networks restart then all network fail. When I reboot everything is working again10:36
ladfnetvconfig was used to configure the vlans initially10:37
ladfnetI never used any other tools.10:37
* delcoyote hi11:05
ladfnethow come when i reboot, ubuntu does not forget my network settings that are not set in /etc/network/interfaces? I have not used any tools beside ifconfig and vconfig (I have two vlans on a trunk port). No dhcp involved. Any ideas/tip greatly appreciated. (It's server/black box)11:31
Jeeves_ladfnet: If you don't config it in the interfaces file11:40
Jeeves_it will be gone on reboot11:40
ladfnetwell it's still there, and I don't know why11:54
Deepslol, bug12:01
ladfnetwell, it's a real headache. it's a remote server, so configuring the network under these conditions suck12:02
ropetinladfnet: When you reboot are the settings configured via DHCP or statically assigned, if that makes sense?12:02
ladfnetstatic12:02
ropetinSo your DHCP server doesn't get a request from the server?12:03
ladfnetno dhcp at all.12:04
ladfnetstaticly defined ips12:04
ropetinAnd a follow up question, how does it suck?  I would have thought it would make things easier if working remotely, at least you know what IP it is going to be on.  If you're messing with other network settings remotely, how about you set the server to DHCP, then when you change your DHCP server, this server will come along with it12:04
ladfneti have eth0 as a trunk nic, and two vlans. one vlan is the internet connection which i'm connecting/configuring over, and the other is a vlan I'm trying to get working correctly.12:05
Deepsin precisely that way it sucks, lots of extra effort required to fiddle network settings remotely12:05
ladfnetwhen i configure the second vlan in the interfaces file the network crashes, and a cronjob has to save my ass12:05
Deepsi normally use a fairly rudimentary dms in a cronjob to force the settings back to a known good config every hour or so12:06
Deepswhen doing that kinda thing12:06
ladfnetwhen i configure the second vlan with vconfig and ifconfig it works, and ubuntu remembers the settings when i reboot, but it's not defined in the interfaces file12:06
Deepsbut it is a pita, i agree withcha12:06
ropetinMeh, I'm just getting off a night-shift fighting with horrid network issues of my own, so I'm not thinking straight!12:06
ladfneti've spent days on this, and I'm not narrowing my search for why ubuntu remembers something it should not12:09
ropetinHave you done something such as grep the file system to see if you can find the settings in some config file somewhere?12:15
yann2I've got a problem - I am trying to set ubuntu up on raid 10. However, my server only supports raid1. So i've made to raid1 partition, and a soft raid 0 on top of it.12:53
yann2However, with this setup , grub fails to install. Is that normal, how can i work around?12:53
* yann2 very angry13:59
yann2this whole hardware certification process is a pure joke. I'm on my third critical installation issue.13:59
KiraMy server responds to ping, but SSHd and Apache Httpd have stopped responding to network requests. o.O14:39
KiraIs there any way I can still remotely resurrect that server?14:57
joerlendI followed the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html16:33
joerlendI'm using LAT (LDAP Administration Tool). I can add users and groups just fine, except that I can't add users to groups, but must add groups to users. How can I fix that?16:34
joerlendperhaps there is an error in the example LDIF presented on the wiki?16:35
joerlendor something missing?16:35

javaDevI have problems with high usage of CPU by Xorg. Can I count on any help with solving this problem. I think its problem with nvidia drivers and 3d acceleration.18:28
jmarsdenjavaDev: You need proprietary 3D drivers on a *server*?  This is #ubuntu-server... for server use just revert to the 2D open source driver, surely...18:30
ScottKUbuntu Server doesn't include X, so any discussions about X issues are really better done elsewhere.18:36
javaDevok thanks my bad ;)18:37
DustWolfHow can I force version in apt-get or aptitude?20:16
Ahmucksudo apt-get -f20:17
DustWolfattempts to fix broken dependencies20:20
DustWolfthat isn't it20:20
DustWolfobviously20:20
Deepswhat do you mean 'force version'?20:21
Deepsif you want different major releases, they'll be separate packages, e.g. sqlite2, sqlite320:21
DustWolfI have a server that has a 20 meg boot partition because of a bios issue... I wanted to upgrade the kernel only to realize it's too big.. now I want to reinstall the old version20:22
DustWolfI have already set up the files from the backup as they should be, but I'd prefer to have apt be happy with it20:22
Deepsnot sure you can, maybev if you use the original install media as your apt source20:22
DustWolfif I can't, how can synaptic do it?20:22
Deepsi didnt know it could20:23
DustWolfit can20:23
Deepscool!20:23
Deepssounds like you know more than me, and here you are asking me for advice ;)20:23
DustWolf*sigh* you're the 3rd person I broke the news to...20:23
DustWolfjust wish somebody could help me20:23
Deepsgoogle knows more than everyone in this channel combined20:23
DustWolfnote to self: NEVER go upgrading the kernel before a planned shutdown20:24
DustWolfgoogle is useless on the issue20:24
DustWolfit's the first place I looked20:24
ScottKDustWolf: If you've got the .debs, you can install them with dpkg (dpkg -i) and it will happily downgrade them for you.20:24
DustWolfI can install the versions as they are since the one that gets upgraded is a virtrual package anyway20:25
DustWolfbut I don't know if I got them all20:25
DustWolfhmm20:25
DustWolf*reads dependencies*20:25
DustWolfbtw, Deeps: packages --> force version20:32
DeepsDustWolf: i dont use guis, but ta20:32
DeepsDustWolf: well, linux guis, anyway, heh20:32
DustWolfI see20:33
Deepsi'm glad20:34
DustWolfFailed to symbolic-link boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-server to initrd.img.20:38
DustWolfgreat20:38
ScottKDid you run update-grub?20:43
DustWolfI did reinstall of the old kernel20:43
ScottKYes.  After you did that.20:43
DustWolfnot yet?20:44
DustWolfok deleted old links20:45
ScottKI'd do that then.20:45
DustWolfseems to be reinstalling fine now20:46
DustWolfok that's that20:48
DustWolfthe virtrual packages aren't installed20:48
DustWolfbut hopefully nobody needs them20:48
ScottKDustWolf: You really only need those to notice there's a new kernel and get all the required bits updated.  That seems like exactly what you don't want.20:48
DustWolf*nod*20:49
DustWolfI was just wondering if any other package depends on them20:49
ScottKNo.  That's all they're for.  If later you try upgrading again, you can do it by just reinstalling the metapackage.20:50
DustWolf*nod*20:50
DustWolfis there any way to do x forwarding without having x installed and running?20:50

BoredBoringhello22:33
joerlendhello.22:33
BoredBoringi have a networking problem with the current release of the ubuntu server22:33
BoredBoringi manually set up an ethernet devide using ifconfig22:34
BoredBoringi create a route for it with route22:34
BoredBoringbut after a reboot22:34
BoredBoringall those settings are gone22:34
BoredBoringi have to do all the configuration again22:34
BoredBoring:(22:34
BoredBoringany ideas?22:34
BoredBoringnobody? :(22:37
joerlendpatience is a virtue.22:39
BoredBoring:D22:39
joerlendhave you configured your /etc/network/interfaces?22:40
BoredBoringno22:40
BoredBoringi thought that ifconfig would change the configuration permanently?22:40
joerlendthen you should.22:40
joerlendno.22:40
BoredBoringso ifconfig only works for one session?22:41
joerlendyup.22:41
BoredBoringand there is no switch to make have it make permanent changes?22:41
BoredBoring-make22:42
hadsThat's not what ifconfig is for.22:42
joerlendno, the changes are permanent because you've configured your /etc/network/interfaces and ifconfig is run at every boot.22:42
BoredBoringah22:42
BoredBoringi see22:42
BoredBoringi will try the configuration of /etc/network/interfaces22:43
BoredBoringthX!22:43
