wizardslovak | i am running web server and email server on it already | 00:38 |
wizardslovak | will it be able to run all those aplications? | 00:39 |

Kamping_Kaiser | wizardslovak, yes | 01:00 |

Mick27 | anyone knows a way to automate fdisk in one line ? I would like to erase all old partition, create a new one with the entire disk and set it as 8e (lvm) | 01:05 |

twb | wizardslovak: surely that *is* just the test | 02:02 |
twb | I would expect the study materials to be cheap (or even free of charge), and the final test to be expensive. | 02:03 |
wizardslovak | twb: same here , i would rather go for test lol | 02:05 |
wizardslovak | i am just checking amazon for some good ubuntu server book | 02:07 |

wizardslovak | ok so | 04:00 |
wizardslovak | i found why my email server doesnt send nor receive emails | 04:01 |
wizardslovak | failed sasl autherization | 04:01 |
wizardslovak | what should i do? can anyone helpme to fix i t? | 04:01 |
wizardslovak | postfix and dovecot + squirrelmail | 04:01 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: Look in your logs and give us the exact error. Also pastebin the output of postconf -n | 04:02 |
wizardslovak | postconf http://pastebin.com/m158b1e2f | 04:04 |
wizardslovak | mail.err http://pastebin.com/m1391d2bf | 04:04 |
wizardslovak | error i am getting when sending email is "message not sent.Server replied" | 04:09 |
wizardslovak | so anyone? | 04:12 |
* ScottK looks | 04:13 | |
wizardslovak | ScottK: thx | 04:14 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: deliver(root) is dovecot telling you it doesn't know where to send mail for postmaster. | 04:16 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: Which release are you running? | 04:17 |
wizardslovak | i dont really know how to chceck it | 04:18 |
ajmitch | but you know which cd you installed from | 04:18 |
ajmitch | weren't you running 9.04, and using dovecot-postfix? | 04:18 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: What does less /etc/lsb-release tell you? | 04:19 |
wizardslovak | yes i upgraded from 8.04 so i had to install postfix-dovecot | 04:19 |
wizardslovak | ubuntu 9.04 | 04:20 |
wizardslovak | i got imap so i can use squirrelmail | 04:20 |
wizardslovak | so problem will be in dovecot-postfic.conf | 04:22 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: You edited /etc/postfix/main.cf, didn't you? | 04:24 |
wizardslovak | yes | 04:24 |
ScottK | Why did you change smtpd_recipient_restrictions? | 04:27 |
wizardslovak | i didnt change that | 04:27 |
wizardslovak | it was there | 04:28 |
wizardslovak | is something wrong with it | 04:28 |
ScottK | You have smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination | 04:28 |
wizardslovak | yes | 04:28 |
ScottK | dovecot-postfix installs smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unauth_pipelining, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination | 04:29 |
wizardslovak | so i chould put those | 04:29 |
wizardslovak | let me do it | 04:29 |
wizardslovak | ok i changed it to those you sent me | 04:31 |
ScottK | That's not directly related to your problem at hand, but those are better. | 04:31 |
wizardslovak | yes | 04:31 |
ScottK | Can you pastebin /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf | 04:32 |
ScottK | I use cyrus-sasl for SASL, so I may not be able to help you with this part, but let's have a look. | 04:32 |
wizardslovak | how should i copy all conf for pastebin? | 04:32 |
wizardslovak | btw dovecot.conf wont help you that much | 04:33 |
ScottK | It wont? | 04:33 |
wizardslovak | dovecot-postfic.conf is the one which will dovecot use | 04:33 |
ScottK | Where's the dovecot sasl stuff then? | 04:33 |
ScottK | OK. I'll take that one. | 04:33 |
ScottK | Install the package pastebinit | 04:33 |
ScottK | Then do: | 04:34 |
ScottK | pastebinit $FILENAME and give me the url it gives back\ | 04:34 |
wizardslovak | http://pastebin.com/f357c4df8 | 04:35 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: Line 860 is the one I was looking for. You do have sasl mechanisms defined. | 04:46 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: Look in /var/log/mail.log and get the entire transaction around one of those sasl errors | 04:46 |
wizardslovak | http://pastebin.com/m5dde9574 | 04:48 |
wizardslovak | btw how can i go to line 860 quickly? | 04:49 |
ScottK | vim $FILENAME +860 does it for me, but then I use vim. | 04:51 |
wizardslovak | u mean mechanisms = plain login | 04:51 |
ScottK | Yep | 04:52 |
ScottK | The complaint in the error was that there weren't any mechanism defined. There are. | 04:52 |
wizardslovak | hmm maybe mine are wrong or something | 04:53 |
ScottK | That's why I want the rest of the log entries around the error to see what else is going on | 04:54 |
wizardslovak | mail.log or mail.err? | 04:56 |
ScottK | mail.log | 04:57 |
wizardslovak | it wont pastebin | 04:57 |
ScottK | Not the entire file | 04:58 |
ScottK | Find the entry from mail.err (one of them) and get as many lines as you can before that | 04:58 |
wizardslovak | http://pastebin.com/m795d92bd here is tail of mail.log | 04:59 |
wizardslovak | http://pastebin.com/m15b08974 tail from mail.err | 05:01 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: I need the bits around 23:30:40 server1 postfix/smtpd[24058]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms | 05:02 |
ScottK | Submit a correction or amendment below (click here to make a fresh posting) | 05:02 |
ScottK | Oops | 05:02 |
wizardslovak | how to get those bits? | 05:03 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: Your snippet ends at May 14 22:33:00 | 05:03 |
wizardslovak | i know | 05:03 |
ScottK | That's not the end of the file. | 05:03 |
ScottK | I can't help you further without the log and I'm really up to explaining how to get it. | 05:04 |
ScottK | If you get it, feel free to ping me. | 05:04 |
wizardslovak | hmmm | 05:05 |
wizardslovak | can i use cyrus sasl? | 05:05 |
ScottK | It's harder to set up | 05:05 |
ScottK | I only use it out of ineertia | 05:05 |
wizardslovak | http://pastebin.com/m62b3c1ab | 05:06 |
wizardslovak | i think this will help the most http://pastebin.com/mce5e11f | 05:07 |
ScottK | looking | 05:07 |
ScottK | Now we're getting somewhere | 05:08 |
wizardslovak | it says connect to private/dovecot-auth failed.no such file directory | 05:08 |
wizardslovak | means i am missing folder | 05:08 |
ScottK | In 8.10 it was different | 05:09 |
ScottK | In /etc/postfix/main.cf try smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth-client, postfix restart, and then see what happens | 05:09 |
wizardslovak | i have it there already | 05:11 |
ScottK | Which? auth-client or dovecot-auth? | 05:12 |
wizardslovak | ooo i got dovecot-auth | 05:12 |
wizardslovak | ok still doesnt work | 05:14 |
ScottK | OK. Same error (look in mail.log)? | 05:15 |

Doonz | sorry guys have a lame question but im stumped. my server (i just upgraded to 9.04) i cant seem to access the internet from it | 05:19 |
Doonz | locally im fine (on the lan) | 05:19 |
wizardslovak | did you assign ip and open 80 for it? | 05:20 |
Doonz | i mean just to update like apt-get and stuff | 05:21 |
wizardslovak | so you cant apt-get install anything?? | 05:21 |
Doonz | i cant ping any internet adresses from the box itself | 05:21 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: What does postconf |grep queue_directory produce? | 05:22 |
wizardslovak | ScottK: queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix | 05:22 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: OK. That's what it should be. | 05:22 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: How about ls -l /var/spool/postfix | 05:23 |
ScottK | Pastebin that please. | 05:23 |
Doonz | wizardslovak: any chance it installed a firewall? | 05:24 |
wizardslovak | http://pastebin.com/m60d34031 | 05:24 |
ScottK | Doonz: Ubuntu Server does not activate the included firewall. | 05:24 |
Doonz | hmm | 05:24 |
Doonz | im confused | 05:24 |
wizardslovak | Doonz: try sudo ufw status numbered | 05:24 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: ls -l /var/spool/postfix/private | 05:25 |
Doonz | wizardslovak: status inactive | 05:25 |
ScottK | So no firewall. | 05:25 |
wizardslovak | Doonz: so no you dont have firewall | 05:25 |
Doonz | ok | 05:26 |
wizardslovak | damn couple weeks ago i didnt know nothing about ubuntu and now i know something heheh | 05:26 |
Doonz | im completely stumped | 05:26 |
ScottK | Doonz: It worked fine in 8.10? | 05:26 |
wizardslovak | ScottK: http://pastebin.com/m69cbdfb7 | 05:27 |
Doonz | ScottK: yep | 05:27 |
Doonz | im confused | 05:27 |
wizardslovak | try ping server ip | 05:27 |
wizardslovak | does router have port 80 open for server? | 05:28 |
Doonz | im connect remotely through ssh into the headless server | 05:28 |
Doonz | but im only on the local lan | 05:28 |
ScottK | Doonz: You can connect to it on the local lan? | 05:28 |
Doonz | i am | 05:28 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: So you problem is that dovecot isn't listening there. | 05:28 |
ScottK | you/your | 05:29 |
wizardslovak | did you config static ip on server? | 05:29 |
Doonz | yep | 05:29 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: His server has an IP, he couldn't ssh to it if it didn't. | 05:29 |
ScottK | Doonz: So you problem is from your server outbound? | 05:29 |
wizardslovak | ScottK: how can i fix it then? | 05:29 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: Now we get to the part where I say "Dunno. I don't use dovecot." | 05:30 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: Look for ivoks around tomorrow and ask him. | 05:30 |
wizardslovak | ivoks? | 05:30 |
wizardslovak | ok | 05:30 |
Doonz | ScottK: yes | 05:30 |
ScottK | Yes, he's they guy that wrote dovecot-postfix script. | 05:30 |
ScottK | Doonz: Can you ping your router? | 05:31 |
wizardslovak | ScottK: do you have his email? | 05:31 |
Doonz | ScottK: think i got it | 05:31 |

wizardslovak | Doonz: ?? | 05:32 |
wizardslovak | ScottK: launchpad? | 05:32 |
Doonz | cant assign manual ip, webmin isnt able to installl mdadm module | 05:33 |
ScottK | wizardslovak: launchpad.net, the Ubuntu bug tracker. | 05:33 |
ScottK | Doonz: We don't support webmin, so I can't help you there. | 05:33 |
Doonz | Yeah i kno | 05:33 |

wizardslovak | i never been on launchpad and it says my email is registered | 05:38 |
ScottK | That's the Ubuntu bug tracker and lots more. If you're going to use Ubuntu, you probably want to register | 05:39 |
wizardslovak | ScottK: i wrote him email | 05:42 |
ScottK | OK | 05:42 |
wizardslovak | i did include tail from mail.warn | 05:44 |
wizardslovak | so hopefully he will answer | 05:44 |

Pres-Gas | Hey, if /usr/local is expoted wiht nfs and root_squash to a client, can a file that is setuid and owned by root on the share be acted on or does root_squash only act when, say root on the client tries to rm the same file on the share? | 15:34 |
Pres-Gas | I don't think the man page for exports is clear on this. | 15:35 |
greenfly | Pres-Gas: from my understanding, root_squash prevents root on the client from being root | 15:39 |
stickystyle | root_squash acts whenever the effective uid is 0 | 15:39 |
greenfly | but doesn't affect root on the server | 15:39 |
Pres-Gas | So, gentlefolk, if there is a file that needs to be setuid and owned by root to work on the share (/usr/local/bin for example), it should work properly? | 15:40 |
Pres-Gas | Cos that was my interpretation from the man pages...but really wanted to fact-check myself | 15:41 |
Pres-Gas | ...if I wanted to remove it as root from the client, I would get denied, right? | 15:41 |
stickystyle | Pres-Gas: No, it will not work. if the file is 700 root:root on the NFS server and a client has it mounted, and the client trys to execute it as their local root it will not work | 15:42 |
Pres-Gas | I have someone who is attempting to share the juniper networks ssl-vpn "Network Connect" client and it seems to work with my testing, though stickystyle. | 15:43 |
Pres-Gas | Hmmmm.... | 15:43 |
stickystyle | Well, to be honest....I'm not 100% on what would happen with a setuid file... | 15:44 |
Pres-Gas | Gerr...no one is. I guess it is time to play some more. ;) | 15:45 |
greenfly | Pres-Gas: it's possible that it will work in that root_squash ignores when the client claims it is uid 0 | 15:46 |
Pres-Gas | nfsd bases its access control to files on the server machine on the uid | 15:46 |
Pres-Gas | and gid provided in each NFS RPC request. | 15:47 |
Pres-Gas | ...from the man page.... | 15:47 |
greenfly | but yeah, I'm not quite sure what it would do if a non-root user on the client executed that setuid file that's on the server | 15:47 |
Pres-Gas | So, I would interpret that as the mapping is only on the server side...the client should still see it as owned by root and can act on it (reading the file/executing) no problem... | 15:48 |
Pres-Gas | Hey, I have some vms set up...going to try and act on, then remove some files...bear with me. | 15:50 |
Pres-Gas | I did not really want to manipulate them...but sounds like we should all find out eh? | 15:50 |
stickystyle | Yeah, your hypothesis sounds correct. Lets all watch and find out :) | 15:51 |
* Pres-Gas is futzing about with his vm's now...please hold... | 15:51 | |
* Pres-Gas turns on the muzak | 15:52 | |
beawesomeinstead | does anyone know if $5000/month for 100MBit/s is ok? | 15:55 |
Jeeves_ | beawesomeinstead: Ehm, it's a bit much :) | 15:56 |
Jeeves_ | beawesomeinstead: Depending on where you live | 15:56 |
beawesomeinstead | Jeeves_: europe. they told me this also includes 2U spot for a server. i could negotiate this, and wonder how much 100Mbps usually cost? | 15:59 |
beawesomeinstead | (400W max) | 15:59 |
Pres-Gas | Okay, the setuid worked and I cannot delete it from the client as root. | 16:01 |
Jeeves_ | beawesomeinstead: Can you do 100mbit/s all the time? | 16:01 |
Jeeves_ | beawesomeinstead: Also, europe is kinda big :) | 16:01 |
beawesomeinstead | Jeeves_: unmetered | 16:01 |
stickystyle | Pres-Gas: Cool. Good to know for sure. | 16:02 |
Pres-Gas | So, once you execute a file, and the client sees the file as setuid and owned by root, the CLIENT acts as if it is local...no rpc calls to the server except for reading really... | 16:02 |
Jeeves_ | beawesomeinstead: We ask EUR 2000 for 100mbit, or so | 16:02 |
Pres-Gas | It is when you are making a write/remove type rpc call to the server when the SERVER maps root to nobody...then the server reports back to the client Permission Denied. | 16:03 |
Pres-Gas | I feel better now....and this is logged somewhere so others may know as well. | 16:03 |

stanman1 | hi, am trying to install 8.04 LTS on a proliant DL140 G3, but the installer can't find the nic's, can i just continue with installing and then add the nics later? | 17:07 |
joe-mac | hey is anyone here that is knowledgable on network preseeding? I have other preseeds working but this one is failing at install but parses on the build server with debconf-set-selections -c <file>. I need to know what steps to take to get some debug logs out of this. i've done it before but i can't recallf or the life of me and didn't easily find it on the google. | 17:15 |
joe-mac | heading to lunch, if anyone feels like they want to help, feel free to just say my name in your message, will respond when i get back, thanks | 17:16 |
tchough | does anyone know what the preferred method of launching a process as a certain user from an init script is? | 17:17 |
tchough | i'm guess it's not "su -" because that requires a system user's shell to be something other than /bin/false | 17:18 |
stanman1 | how do i get embedded nics to go up? | 17:20 |
jmedina | stanman1: what you mean with "embedded nics"? | 17:24 |
genii | tchough: man start-stop-daemon Then also take a look at /etc/init.d/skeleton | 17:26 |
tchough | genii: unfortunately, start-stop-daemon won't work for me... the program i'm trying to run barfs when start-stop-daemon tries to background it... is there another alternative? | 17:28 |
tchough | genii: su would fit the bill, but it barfs because the system user's shell is /bin/false, which i'd rather not change | 17:29 |
genii | Odd. postfix for instance has no valid shell yet start-stop-daemon can use it | 17:30 |
genii | tchough: You could use the script in rc.local and from there the su part for specific user. If no shell for a user, specify something like: su -c "bash whatever/command" username | 17:32 |
genii | jmedina: He has dual Broadcom 5721 nic on a Proliant DL140 G3 | 17:33 |
jmedina | genii: and what is the problem? | 17:34 |
tchough | genii: no luck with su -c... i think su will only pass arguments directly to the user's shell | 17:34 |
jmedina | stanman1: what is the problem? | 17:34 |
tchough | genii: ah, i got it... su -s /bin/sh -c whoami user does it for me... thanks for your help! | 17:36 |
genii | tchough: np | 17:36 |
al_paun | Hi everybody. Can you please guide me to install a usb modem on ubuntu server? | 18:05 |
al_paun | I plan to make it work as a fax modem. | 18:06 |
=== hessml|away is now known as hessmll | ||
al_paun | Can you please guide me to install a usb modem on ubuntu? I plan to make it work as a fax modem. | 18:24 |
* jmedina never required to use modem in linux in 8 years | 18:28 | |
al_paun | I intend to use as a fax modem | 18:29 |
al_paun | fax server | 18:29 |
al_paun | hylafax | 18:29 |
jmedina | al_paun: which model? | 18:30 |
jmedina | is detected when you plug it in? | 18:30 |
jmedina | dmesg output | 18:30 |
al_paun | i don't have ubuntu desktop | 18:30 |
jmedina | ? | 18:30 |
al_paun | it's only comand line ubuntu | 18:30 |
al_paun | i mean without xwindows | 18:31 |
jmedina | well connect it and see dmesg output | 18:31 |
jmedina | firt check if is detected | 18:31 |
jmedina | al_paun: is it listed in lspci? | 18:31 |
jmedina | could you pastebin its output: dmesg and lspci | 18:31 |
al_paun | i got no dmesg message | 18:32 |
al_paun | i got a message in kern.log | 18:33 |
jmedina | probably you dont have usb support loaded or your usb modem is not supported | 18:34 |
al_paun | I'll paste what is in kern.log | 18:35 |
al_paun | new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 | 18:35 |
al_paun | usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice | 18:35 |
jmedina | al_paun: use pastebin | 18:37 |
al_paun | Ok, I'll use but it was only two lines :) | 18:38 |
al_paun | sorry | 18:38 |
stickystyle | al_paun: After you plugged it in, did you check to see if you got any new /dev/tty* devices? It may just work. | 18:40 |
al_paun | no | 18:40 |
al_paun | i didn't check | 18:41 |
al_paun | i have ttyS0 | 18:42 |
al_paun | which was rewriten | 18:42 |
al_paun | i think this one is using | 18:42 |
stickystyle | Do you have a serial port on this machine? if so, ttyS0 is probably the serial port and not the usb modem | 18:43 |
al_paun | no I don't | 18:43 |
al_paun | it's a new computer | 18:43 |
al_paun | only usb ports | 18:43 |
al_paun | i even don't have paralel port | 18:43 |
al_paun | no paralel and no serial port | 18:44 |
al_paun | and the modify date of ttyS0 was changed today 20 minutes ago when I pluged in the modem | 18:44 |
al_paun | so I think this one is | 18:45 |
jmedina | al_paun: try lsusb | 18:45 |
al_paun | what should i search for | 18:46 |
al_paun | I have a list of 8 usb bus | 18:46 |
stickystyle | try connecting to it with screen then. $screen /dev/ttyS0 9600 | 18:46 |
al_paun | Bus 002 Device 002: ID 190d:0001 | 18:46 |
stickystyle | send "AT" and see if it comes back with "OK" | 18:46 |
al_paun | this one is different than 0000:0000 | 18:47 |
al_paun | just a second (installing screen) | 18:48 |
al_paun | when i open screen it's just a blank window with no posibility to enter anything | 18:50 |
stickystyle | Then I'm guessing that /dev/ttyS0 is not your modem. It was worth a shot. | 18:51 |
al_paun | hmm | 18:52 |
al_paun | thanks anyway | 18:52 |
jmedina | al_paun: you dont show requiered output from lspci, lsusb or full output from dmesg, it is hard to guess | 18:53 |
al_paun | in dmesg i get no message | 18:57 |
al_paun | where is lspci output? | 18:57 |
al_paun | i can send you lsusb output via pastebin | 18:58 |
al_paun | also lspci output | 18:59 |
al_paun | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/175836/ | 18:59 |
al_paun | the modem specifications sais that is AT command compatible | 19:02 |
al_paun | its a ITU-T V.92/V.90 modem | 19:04 |

Lichte | My company just brought our web app over to 8.10 server from suse enterprise 10, and the web app keeps timing out users; I've used the same settings for apache, and the web app doesn't time out on the suse box; any ideas ??? | 19:19 |
Lichte | BTW: the web app is written in php | 19:22 |
genii | Lichte: Possibly the "max_execution_time =" variable in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini | 19:29 |
Lichte | genii, I've cranked that up I think....I'll look at it again | 19:32 |
Lichte | genii, it's *WAY* higher than the max setting on the suse box | 19:35 |
genii | Lichte: There is also a socket timeout value which may require setting. | 19:37 |
Lichte | genii, yeah, I've set those too | 19:38 |
Lichte | the only size difference between the two boxes is the garbage collection time | 19:39 |
Lichte | for session garbage collection | 19:39 |
genii | Maybe their session becomes invalid before the script finishes | 19:41 |
Doonz | hey uys, my server just locked up on me and had to be manually reboot. what log could i look at to see what caused the lock up? | 19:44 |
Lichte | genii, ok, I've cranked up the gc time to match the suse box.....hope that does it! | 19:45 |
genii | Interesting. Looks like some probing for "/bin/msgimport" going on in this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/175877/ | 20:03 |
genii | Looks related: http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=5659 | 20:05 |

FFForever | genii, there is just no way to bring up the password option?, right now the password is blank and the mysqladmin won't accept it =( | 20:20 |

Iceman_B1SSH | how do I upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 ? | 22:50 |
yeason | ircd-ratbox... any thoughts opinions? I'm trying to find a good irc server daemon, preferably one that works with a services daemon such as atheme-services... | 23:06 |
Doonz | Hey guys im running the new 9.04 server edition. The server become unresponsive. I cant ssh into it or anything. When i look at the monitor is got a bunch of info but i cant type anything | 23:11 |
Doonz | im able to ping the server from my windows box bu thats about it | 23:12 |
yeason | I'm having similar issues with another system... I wish I could tell you what the problem is | 23:12 |
yeason | another system as in not server... | 23:12 |
Doonz | im so confused | 23:13 |
Doonz | the only fix i can do is to reboot the bloody thing but thats not a solution | 23:14 |
Doonz | thats a windows fix | 23:14 |
yeason | yea... some of the symptoms include you can connect through ssh, it prompts for u/n and p/w but never gives you a prompt or an error, randomly locks up and nothing will work except ping and the reset switch? | 23:15 |
Doonz | except for i cant connect through ssh now | 23:15 |
yeason | =/ | 23:15 |
yeason | lol, if you find a solution let me know... | 23:15 |
phaidros | hm, is there an out of the box solution to give users access to certain init scripts? | 23:21 |
phaidros | Doonz: server should be LTS ;) | 23:21 |
Doonz | it is | 23:26 |
phaidros | ??? 00:11 < Doonz> Hey guys im running the new 9.04 server edition. | 23:29 |
phaidros | 9.04 is LTS ? | 23:29 |
* phaidros didn't realize that .. | 23:29 | |
phaidros | so, seems alot of upgrading is necessarry :( | 23:29 |
Doonz | i though t9.04 is lts and 9.10 is the other | 23:30 |
phaidros | LTS .. Long Term Support .. 9.04 *and* 9.10 ? | 23:30 |
stickystyle | LTS is currently 6.06 and 8.04 | 23:31 |
phaidros | nope, all I read was from Mark referring to 10.10 as next LTS .. | 23:31 |
phaidros | stickystyle: thanks! *phew* | 23:31 |
Doonz | ahh shit | 23:31 |
phaidros | he was writing the other day, that postponing to 10.10 would help synchronising work with debian guys | 23:31 |
phaidros | Doonz: ;) | 23:31 |
phaidros | downgrade | 23:31 |
Doonz | oh well lts version has a busted version of mdadm in it so yeah | 23:32 |
Doonz | 8.04* | 23:32 |
phaidros | 8.04 has well running mdadm, for me at least .. | 23:32 |
Doonz | dont screw up a grow operation | 23:32 |
Doonz | cause you will have to downgrade to 2.6.4 | 23:32 |
phaidros | ok, good to know | 23:33 |
Doonz | yeah | 23:34 |
Doonz | not fun... not sure how that big time mess made it through | 23:34 |
