[00:09] any one have any thoughts on loading xen on an existing ubuntu 8.04 dual xeon server with iptables and ufw , apache server install?? [00:13] gene420: what do you mena? [00:13] *mean [00:14] will the routing tables ppoe connection be affected [00:14] that i'm not sure about :/ [00:24] New bug: #364616 in open-iscsi (main) "Wrong iscsistart path in iscsi hook" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/364616 [00:32] any suggestions on making a backup of the server [00:34] Enter text here... Hello has anyone setup bind 9, and know how to change the setting on Godaddy? [01:07] can anyone here help me get VNC to connect? =P [01:07] to ubuntu-server running fluxbox [01:13] reid: did you install a VNC server? [01:19] twb: yes [01:19] twb: sorry I was in a different channel [01:20] twb: afaik I created an X session as well, on screen 1 [01:28] reid: on unix, VNC is separate from X. [01:28] If you are seeing X on the local head, you have done it wrong. [01:59] I set up a function ssh server a while back and let it sit for a while. I recently tried to connect to it and timed out. When I hooked up a keyboard and mouse and moved around a bit, the ssh server went back up again. Presumably, the machine had gone into some sort of sleep mode or hibernation - any idea where I might disable this? [01:59] s/function/functioning [02:00] s/a while back/a few months ago [02:01] If it's an ubuntu-server install, it shouldn't "go to sleep" just because nobody is typing on its local console. [02:02] unfortunately, it wasn't a server install [02:02] Unless you installed ubuntu-desktop type stuff, in which case it might [02:02] I dunno what's responsible for that in modern systems, though. [02:03] maodun, what type of ssh server is that? (OpenSSH?) [02:03] foxbuntu: yes [02:03] maodun, what version of Ubuntu is it? [02:05] maodun, if your not sure you can run this from a terminal to find out: lsb_release -a [02:05] foxbuntu: hmm, i'm not sure where i get the ubuntu version info. the kernel version is '2.6.27-9-generic' [02:05] ok [02:05] intrepid, ubuntu 8.10 [02:05] maodun, I would guess you have power save mode enabled [02:06] maodun, System > Preferences > Power Management [02:06] foxbuntu: i'm on a headless machine atm [02:06] how can i check from the cl [02:06] uh [02:07] hmm, Im not totally sure, let me figure it out [02:07] sorry, 'When I hooked up a keyboard and mouse' actually meant when I had someone do it for me remotely, at an earlier time [02:08] maodun, no worries, just haven't tried to do it this way in quite some time [02:09] maodun, no worries, just haven't tried to do it this way in quite some time [02:13] maodun, I think you cna do it with this: setterm -powersave off [02:16] foxbuntu: hmm, ok, i'll give that a shot. thanks! [02:16] maodun, np [04:51] i wish to upgrade from debian testing/unstable to intrepid. I currently have hoary packages installed, but i cannot run do-release-upgrade, because testing/unstable is not in the meta-release file. I was wondering if i could change my dist to hoary. [04:53] Geez, Hoary [04:54] your running debian testing with ubuntu hoary packages? [04:54] did i read that correctly? [04:55] i tihnk most of them are hoary packages, yes [04:56] backup and reinstall. you'll have problems forever if you try and "upgrade" that to intrepid [04:57] so there's nothing i can do? i don't have physical access to the machine. [04:58] nothing you can do nicely, no. (how you've got hoary packages running on debian testing though, thats the question i'm interested in) [04:59] Kamping_Kaiser: it was possible - I switched from sid to hoary just by upgrading packages a few at a time [04:59] well i just switched over my sources.list, ran apt-get dist-upgrade, i ran into a few errors because debian's dpkg didn't support "Break", so i found a version on launchpad that worked [04:59] that's asking for trouble [05:00] Absolutely [05:00] ajmitch, yeah, its possible (i've done it too), but the work required to get the thing moved over is huge, then you hae wierd bugs as things dont /quite/ work as expected from old files [05:00] upgrades across that many releases are not supported because of the amount of transitional code that has to be carried to support those upgrades [05:01] what's the best way of getting ubuntu on this machine if I don't have physical access to it? [05:03] with such an install as you have now, it'd be a challenge to find something that'll work [05:04] lawlzfries: set up a preseed image, so that it installs without asking questions [05:04] lawlzfries, what level of "I don't have physical access" are we talking? [05:04] lawlzfries: or, start a d-i install and anna-install ssh, so you can log into it remotely and complete the install. That will requre remote monkey hands, though [05:05] lawlzfries: finally, if you can access the existing OS, and it is Not ShitTM, you can do an "install from existing Unix system" as described in the installation guide. [05:05] Kamping_Kaiser, it's across the atlantic [05:05] lawlzfries, thats pretty far. [05:05] I recommend against that last, though, because it's a bitch to get grub working properly in that case. [05:05] lawlzfries, what he is getting at is, can you have someone else get access or no? [05:06] I should say "What I think he is getting at" [05:06] oh, sorry I'm a bit of a noob, i can, but the hosting company takes a really long time to do anything :( [05:07] lawlzfries, is this some kind of dedicated server you own? [05:07] i rent it [05:07] ...or did you start installing all of this on some rent-a-server's machine? [05:08] rent-a-server's machine [05:08] well then you have not allot of options then [05:09] im really surprised you have root access to it [05:09] why wouldn't i? i'm renting it [05:09] and it's not a managed server [05:09] oh that explains it [05:10] well back to the point here... sory for the tangent [05:11] I think your really only going to be able to reload the machine as well [05:11] my advice is pay someone to put in a cd [05:11] otherwise it will likely be unstable forever [05:12] lawlzfries: are you able to call the colo monkey on the telephone and tell him what buttons to press? [05:13] i can email them and ask them to load ubuntu on the box, but it'll likely take them a week or so, and i was hoping that i could do this more quickly [05:14] but if i can't, that's just what i'll do [05:15] lawlzfries, well, gl [05:15] just as a last attempt before i email them, can i somehow convince do-release-upgrade that i'm actually running hardy? [05:15] No. [05:16] The thing to do (generically) is add old-releases.ubuntu.com to your sources list. [05:16] I don't think that will help in this case. [05:17] yeah i don't think it will. I would really like to thank everyone who helped me out here! none of that "GTFO [05:17] RTFM" stuff that i've been told about that comes along with the linux community [05:19] Thats good to hear once in a while [05:20] yup [05:20] too bad thats turning out to not be so much the case for the UF however [05:22] UF? [05:23] Ubuntu Forums [05:23] The admins there do ban people if there are complaints. [05:24] yea...but it seems like every other thread is a flame war anymore [05:24] I watched a number of them whining to get their posting rights back in a forums council meeting last week. [05:24] Dunno. I'm not a forums kind of guy. [05:24] Yeah, well. IMO forums are for people who don't know how to use a newsreader, nor an MUA. [05:24] yea [05:24] for a vaguely on-topic question, does ubiquity support setting up LVM & RAID yet, or should I do a fresh install with a jaunty server ISO? [05:25] It doesn't suprise me if web forums are more juvenile than other fora. [05:25] cjwatson might know. [05:25] I haven't checked lately. [05:26] switching hardware to amd64, so I might install ubuntu for a change [05:26] ajmitch: I vaguely remember something about LVM. No promises. [05:30] ajmitch: if you're installing a server, you should use the server CD anyway -- that DOES support LVM and software RAID, because it uses d-i [05:31] Also note that (obviously) amd64 hardware will still run your existing i386 install just fine [05:31] twb: it doubles as my personal desktop at work, so I'm not too concerned either way [05:31] amd64 because it'll be getting 4GB RAM [05:32] IIRC i386 can address up to (and incuding) 4GiB directly... [05:32] and it's currently running debian unstable [05:32] it can, but the kernel tends to reserve ~800MB or so last I recall [05:32] If you say so. I haven't tried it myself. [05:32] Making a server "double" as a desktop is a great way to end up with an unreliable server. [05:33] it only really runs samba for 2 other systems in the office, and is used for development [05:33] nothing onerous [05:35] hm.. release party in 3 hours. [05:37] Kamping_Kaiser, Pacific Time? [05:37] I wouldn't mind getting to one of them one day [05:37] foxbuntu, AU central. [05:37] Hehe, you actually call it "central time"? [05:37] Kamping_Kaiser, ah [05:38] twb: what else would it be, AESTminusalitltebit? [05:38] ajmitch: probably "ah, who cares about .sa.au anyway time" [05:38] true [05:38] I'm just used to only hearing "central" in the .us context [05:38] twb, or +9.30, but sometimes thats confusing for people ;) [05:39] Kamping_Kaiser: you offset by an half-hour? That's daft. [05:39] twb, not my fault! [05:39] Unless you're talking about DST (which is daft of itself). [05:39] I mean, .wa.au is +8 and .vic.au is +10, so by rights .sa.au ought to be +9 [05:39] here is either +9.30 or +10.30 depending on DST [05:40] and .nz +12 [05:40] which is far easier to remember [05:40] twb, yes, but that would make sense. [05:42] and im -6 :( [05:42] ;) [05:42] foxbuntu, ;o get with the program [05:43] I will be when I arrive at UDS :D [05:43] hehe. wheres the next one? [05:43] Barcelona [05:43] I've lived on UTC, so it was always 0. [05:43] oh, ok [05:47] no matter my offset, its just reached "food" oclock. (at least some things arn't affected) [05:48] lol [05:48] * foxbuntu is eattin as well [05:48] Once this SRU is finished building, it's off to bed with me. [05:49] OTOH, it's intrepid. It's not like anyone still uses that. [05:49] Good night all. [05:50] NCommander: Linux zx 2.6.28-6-ia64-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 08:31:56 UTC 2009 ia64 GNU/Linux [05:50] upgrade from intrepid+hardy kernel [06:03] At least .sa.au has Internode. [06:21] twb, hehe. [06:21] used to be better, but still pretty good [06:22] 24M connection at home would be nice [06:24] yeah. wouldnt it just (no comment from the smug Finnish or Japanese at this point kthx) [06:25] There used to be a site called something like goodbye-telstra.com which had graphs (graphs!) and pie charts (charts!) showing just how shit .au internet was compared to other developed nations. [06:26] hadnt heard of that site [06:27] I can't find it anymore [06:27] I think it was probably s/telstra/bigpond/ and s/goodbye/something else/, though [06:28] i could probably find it via whingepool, but i'm not /that/ interested ;) [06:28] If you find it, let me know. [06:28] will do. [06:33] twb, the US is the worst of the bunch [06:40] foxbuntu: you pay USD80/mo for 1.5mbps down, 256kbps up, with a 10GB download cap? [06:41] ok, thats bad [06:41] twb, personally no, but I do know of people that do around here [06:42] and they dont get 1.5 up [06:42] foxbuntu: that's the cheapest internet you can get in .au [06:42] er down i mean [06:42] And obviously that's a theoreticaly 1.5 down, not actual. [06:42] wel lright [06:42] well right* [06:43] Admittedly you can get ADSL2+ speeds for around another USD15/mo, but only if you live in the inner city. [06:43] It's a bit stupid because instead of sharing infrastructure, each top-tier ISP installs their own DSLAMS into each exchange. [06:43] thats helpful [06:44] So if you want ADSL2+ with a decent ISP, you have to wait longer, even if a shit ISP has an appropriate DSLAM in your exchagne. [06:45] twb, when theres $15/mo telstra tax on using their ports, you avoid it :| [06:45] Kamping_Kaiser: I was going by internode pricing for ADSL2+ on an agile/optus dslam. [06:46] Or are you talking about why ISPs use their own infrastructure? [06:46] (If the latter, then I totally agree. But it's bollocks that ISPs are put in that position by the carrier.) [06:46] twb, refering to why they use their own gear [06:48] * Kamping_Kaiser is on a 'node dslam with adsl2+ (getting adsl1 speeds though) [06:48] I haven't tried lately because there's a week-long wait feeling all hopeful "maybe they'll have an open port for me this year!" before the inevitable disappointment. [06:49] heh [06:49] i was on the waiting list for the dslam while they built it. only took 8 months ... [06:49] lol [06:50] ok, I dont feel so bad about my -6 offset then ;) [06:51] haha [07:21] New bug: #365390 in dovecot (main) "postfix: invalid value for smtpd_tls_mandatory_ciphers in main.cf" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/365390 [07:34] Kamping_Kaiser: I'd be interested in that site if you find it too !!! [07:59] can cupsys recieve lpr jobs? [08:00] I have a setup with lprng on a site and we need to do normal printing too from the ubuntu desktops. How do I get the Ubuntu printing substystem to use lpr instead of cupsys? [08:01] cups can connect to lpr [08:11] AnRkey: do you just want an lpr binary that users can call? [08:11] Oh, lprng [08:21] yeah, soz was afk for a bit [08:22] we need an service that our AS400 server can print back to on the clients [08:22] everyone uses lpr [08:25] ajmitch: no, it doesn't, sorry [08:28] bbl, gotta run [09:09] Howdy; I'm running a squid cache on 8.04; I've installed squid-cgi with apt, but when I try to use the cgi script, I get a "connection refused" when logging in. Standard squid behaviour is to let the user access non-sensitive data without supplying a password. Could this be a bug in squid-cgi? [09:09] Well, the ubuntu package, since the squid one apparently works. I tested the non-cgi cache manager with squidclient and /that/ works fine, pointing again to the cgi script. [09:09] I'm a bit at a loss as to what to do. [09:28] moin [09:29] morgen [09:30] Know anything about my problem? ;) [11:00] hi all === tobuntu is now known as tobuntu9 [12:33] hey folks i am trying to set up ubuntu as a xen server guest but i can't install the xentools package ... when I try to mount the CDrom I get a huge pile of exception errors, and the disk that the xen docs tell me to mount doesn't exist (/dev/xvdd) .. any suggestions? === timburke_ is now known as timburke [13:01] how can I install ubuntu server with encrypted FS (LUKS LVM) ?

(you will hear me screaming!!!) [14:38] hmm, To buy Landscape as a stand-alone service please go to www.canonical.com/contact/sales [14:39] henkjan, are you having trouble ordering ? [14:39] no, i'm just rereading it [14:39] weird, I am using Ubuntu to use opensource, now canonical asks us to put a blackbox in our network :) [14:40] and wondering if it means that I can buy landscape and run it from my own server [14:41] henkjan, no, that's standalone as in "not part of a support contract". [14:42] yann2, no one is asking *you* ;) [14:43] The client is GPL btw so no such thing as a blackbox in your network is involved in using Landscape. [14:43] MagicFab: too bad [14:43] henkjan, what's too bad [14:45] Anyone have any experience with encrypted raid 5? I know how to make a raid 5, and figuring out how to encrypt it shouldn't be too hard, but what about resizing an encrypted raid partition, or extending it? and will a setup like that be more vulnerable to failure? [14:45] MagicFab: don't like the idea of putting customers data on canonicals servers [14:46] henkjan, so don't. It's just another option. I also wish it was all open source. The powers that be have decided otherwise for this particular offering. [14:48] MagicFab: i don't need it to be open source or free. I'm happy to pay for it. I just don't like the fact that canonical has access to al our customers data [14:50] henkjan, I don't have details right now with me of that part of Landscape, but feel free to ask it. I can relay it to the Landscape dev team. [14:51] Landscape is primarily par of support so.. essentially that means that we provide you support, and that requires access to the data. [14:52] my contact info is on my LP page too (http://launchpad.net/~magicfab) [14:54] MagicFab > out of interest, how many canonical customers use landscape? [14:54] MagicFab > always been wondering how it was going to work for servers with no access to internet :) [14:55] henkjan, I am involved to a certain extent with Landscape, however this FAQ may help: [14:55] https://help.landscape.canonical.com/FAQ [14:55] it's growing furiously so I can'tkeep up with it specially during release, but it may have an answer for you. [14:55] yann2, you know if I told you I had to kill you. And I'd be dead :) [14:56] yann2, offline, it queues stuff and does it when it reconnects. [14:56] MagicFab: okay, thanx. i'll have a look [14:56] no I mean, with no access to the internet, like, it should not have one for security reasons [14:57] yann2, well, Landscape may not be for you then :) [14:57] just trying to find the corner cases to annoy you *runs* [14:57] an on-site Landscape server may help [14:58] definitely, but then the license would be problematic... [15:04] soren: now that release is done can you commit to some openweek goodness? [15:06] jcastro: a release is done, a sprint starts... [15:07] jcastro, "done?

How can I make a usb plug installer? I'll need x86 and amd64 [17:31] RoyK: usb-creator [17:31] where can I find that? [17:32] does it take an iso file and just makes the usb plug bootable with it? [17:59] Server update has gone smoothly :-D [18:02] as always ;) [18:02] ;-) [18:04] * NCommander had a smooth intrepid->jaunty upgrade on SPARC :-) [18:04] VK7HSE1, glad to hear. [18:05] NCommander, Ubuntu on SPARC ? [18:05] MagicFab, yeah. I bought a bunch of SPARC boxes to improve Ubuntu on that architecture [18:05] all my sparc servers are hardy :) [18:05] ivoks, upgrade from dapper or fresh installations? [18:05] NCommander, interesting - what model(s) ? [18:05] * NCommander ran into a few SILO bugs [18:05] fresh [18:05] NCommander: right, silo is broken in installer [18:06] ivoks, I'm working to improve ubuntu/sparc, interested in helping? [18:06] sure [18:06] I've just found an issue with my mediawiki it has a problem with the sql databse when you try to edit!... I'll sort that out tomorrow/today! [18:06] MagicFab, SunFire V120 (Nextra X1 (which is having seems to have a fit running non-Solaris stuff), a Nextra T105 which is known to run Debian, and an Ultra10 [18:06] MagicFab, I also plan to see if I can get landscape going on them :-) [18:07] i have only these: TI UltraSparc IIIi (Jalapeno) [18:07] ivoks, know anyone else running Ubuntu/sparc? (I'm trying to revive interest in the port, and also working to fix the kernel) [18:07] ivoks, your is newer than mine though :-) [18:07] i don't, fabionne worked on sparc before [18:07] * NCommander is turning his SPARC box into an ltsp system [18:08] s/system/server/g [18:08] NCommander: you have issues with kernel? [18:08] ivoks, well, with the installer [18:08] The jaunty kernel and its d-i have issues [18:08] oh... [18:08] i know hardy has silo issue [18:08] I'm the one who updated jaunty's SPARC kernelt to 2.6.28, but I had no hardware to test on [18:08] Jaunty has a new enough silo that its not a problem [18:09] (I ended up installing dapper, then forcing a hardy install over it so I ended up with dapper silo and hardy rootfs) [18:09] NCommander: fabbione, perhaps. [18:09] NCommander: sistpoty/siretart have sparc (but you knew that). [18:09] ScottK, yup :-) [18:09] NCommander: (re: "know anyone else running Ubuntu/sparc?") [18:09] Wow, this is not the day to try and build chroot [18:10] NCommander, are you sharing that anywhere (else) ? [18:10] MagicFab, sharing what? [18:10] NCommander, notes / packages re: SPARC [18:10] MagicFab, Ubuntu SPARC is hosted by Canonical [18:11] MagicFab, its just suffering from a lot of negletic. [18:11] sistpoty also has sparcs, right [18:11] he reported broken kernel in hardy [18:11] NCommander, well yeah but I don't see any super-public display of "hey, I am doing this for SPARC". I am simply asking if you blog or document this somewhere ;) [18:12] MagicFab, not yet, I plan to do so for Karmic. I made PowerPC releasable this cycle (see Xubuntu's release annoucement, and the Kubuntu one once I find the right person to poke) [18:12] Hi there, Im about to receive a new server which probably will be a SUN sunfire t2000.. I received specs which say that under Solaris, this server has 16 virtual 1GHz processors... Would this mean that in Ubuntu I see only 1 real processor, or also 16 processors?? Anybody has some experience with Linux on SUN Sparc hardware?

[18:14] NCommander: we should wait and see what will become of sparc architecture anyway :) [18:15] ivoks, I doubt Oracle going to axe it [18:16] time will tell [18:22] NCommander: I plan to use ubuntu, hardware is unknown yet.. that SUN sparc T2000 is aavailable.. either that one or thehy have to buy new hardware so I figured I better ask [18:23] Just asked on the solaris channel.. they told me that Linux wont run right / slow / problematic on anything more then 4 CPU's.. is this correct? [18:23] phoenixz, ok, Ubuntu on sparc is a little rough (its not been all that well cared for since it was dropped as a supported arch; I'm hoping to fix that with karmic) [18:23] phoenixz, its FUD [18:23] Linux scales fine; for some things Solaris may be faster, while others Linux may be [18:24] It depends on your needs and how your applications use the server [18:24] NCommander: Going to run LAMP installation [18:25] * phoenixz thinks someone is about to start a flamewar on the solaris channel :) [18:26] phoenixz, stop by #ubuntu-ports, which is where we discuss the SPARC (and other ports aside from PowerPC) [18:26] ivoks, ^ [18:26] I'll be happy to get Ubuntu going; there are some annoying SILO bugs that you need to work around to get a successful install [18:26] NCommander: Okay.. only problem is, I need the hardware now and I need to be sure it will work :) [18:26] RIght, of course [18:26] NCommander: SILO? [18:26] phoenixz, SPARC equivelent of GRUB/LILO === MagicFab is now known as MagicFab_afk [18:28] NCommander: in other words.. a successfull install is not guaranteed? [18:28] phoenixz, not at the moment, as I said, Ubuntu/sparc is suffering from lack of maintence, but I'm going to try and SRU debian-installer so you can simply do a netboot install of Jaunty [18:29] sorry, SRU? [18:29] phoenixz: use LTS versions [18:29] 8.04 [18:29] phoenixz: SRU = Stable Release Update - post release update for serious bug fix. [18:30] ScottK: Gottit [18:30] (desktop rant) why don't we use netbook-launcher for desktop too? looks nice and functional... :) [18:30] NCommander: is the issue size or something else? I tried netbooting a ultra60 with a jaunty image from around beta time and got a memory error (I've forgotten the specifics); dapper and gutsy netbooted fine on that hardware. [18:31] One other question.. As I understood it, this CPU should have like 8 cores, 4 threads per core.. Linux (Ubuntu) will be able to use those effectively? [18:31] T1 Sparc CPU [18:32] http://www.ubuntu.com/news/sunfire [18:32] sbeattie, there are quite a few issues ATM [18:32] I'm working to resolve them, I want Karmic to be equivelent to Dapper in terms of hardware working [18:32] sbeattie, interested in working in the SPARC port? [18:33] NCommander: I'll try to help out where I can, but my time is somewhat overbooked as it is. [18:34] same thing here [18:34] i have some non-arch plans for karmic [18:34] I really just need some people for installer testing [18:34] plans/ideas [18:34] So no huge time commitment [18:34] NCommander: that I can do. [18:34] i'll do as much as i can [18:34] you guys are awesome [18:34] :-) [18:35] Lets have SPARC be awesome for karmic === BrunoXLambert_ is now known as BrunoXLambert [18:51] Goodnight/evening/morning/afternoon... what ever!

[19:08] hi, I've just upgrade my server to 9.04 and I get a mount: special device /dev/md1 does not exist error on boot up I've run cat /proc/mdstat and i get the following md_d1 inactive sda1[0] (S), what does this mean and how do I got about fixing it? === mogul218 is now known as mogul218_ [19:15] howdy folks [19:18] for those of you that use Citadel and would like to use it in a AD environment here ya go: http://tinyurl.com/d62gxe [19:20] hi, how do i update from 8.10 to 9.04 ? [19:23] I'm new to ubuntu coming from MacOSX and trying to get a local webserver setup to test with, I have my domain name name setup in hosts as 127.0.0.1 = my.test.domain, hosts.conf is configured to order hosts,bind but when I try to resolve my.test.domain I get the real IP, what am I doing wrong? or is this not possible in Linux? [19:23] orudie, update-manager -d [19:23] rather 127.0.0.1 my.test.domain [19:23] apt-get dist-update [19:24] Faust-C, what is update-manager -d gonna do ? [19:24] tgunr, you need to make sure apache is using either name based vhosts or ip based vhosts, i think thats your issue [19:24] orudie, man update-manager [19:24] hmm, ok but i thought you had to set up the domian in hosts first [19:25] on a MAc I can do this same thing then use nslookup my-test.domain and get back 127.0.0.1 [19:25] tgunr, why? using vhosts doesnt care about that [19:26] youre looking at this in the old school way, i suggest you read up on vhosts [19:26] makes your life simpler [19:26] ok, will do, and yes, i am coming from an old Unix System III days [19:26] is eBox any good ? [19:29] Faust-C, update-manager: command not found [19:34] apt-get dist-update [19:34] apt-get dist-upgrade* [19:34] one of those [19:36] Faust-C: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [19:37] yeah one of those [19:37] no, both [19:37] update will update the package list, dist-upgrade will do the upgrade [19:38] RoyK, im using LTS so i havent had to use the dist update yet [19:38] Faust-C, sudo do-release-upgrade === MagicFab_afk is now known as MagicFab [19:39] Faust-C: dist-upgrade upgrades to the newest subversion of the distro [19:39] ic [19:40] Do use the update-manager for upgrades. For server you have to install update-manager-core/common (I can never remember which) and then do-release-upgrade. [20:04] Hello, I'm adding some virtual SCSI disks to an ubuntu server with VMWare server. Does anyone know whether it is possible to run a command or something to discover them while the server is running, or do I have to restart it for the system to see them? [20:08] you dont have to reset? [20:08] rescan [20:10] I'm sorry, what do you mean by rescan? [20:13] does hardy installation support smart array 641 out of the box ?

[21:49] i have two servers in mirror and it would be useful to have the same smb.conf in both [21:55] wouldnt that cause a NETBIOS issue? [21:55] using the same name?
