maekI copied a vmware image of ubuntu server. it has a new mac address but when It boots up it fails to see eth0? any idea. is there a file some place that tied to the old mac?02:53
maeksorry google02:55
jmarsdenmaek: Well, you *can* put a mac address into /etc/network/interfaces, but I don't think that is done by default.02:57
maekjmarsden: I read something about /etc/iftab but thats gone02:58
maekah02:59
jmarsdenMaybe   grep -ril mac /etc   # would find a relevant file?03:00
maekoh, didnt know about recursive grep, thats cool. no more find . | xargs03:01
maekthanks03:01
jmarsden:)  No problem.  I think that's a GNU grep extension; it's been there for at least a decade or so, maybe longer.03:02
maekhaha, ive been living under the Sun03:03
jmarsdenThat would explain it :)03:04
maekit was in /etc/udev/rules.d/*net.rules03:04
maekit was holding onto the mac from the cloned image03:04
jmarsdenGood, I'm glad you found it ... Googling for ubuntu mac address didn't get me much beyond pages explaining you to find out your own mac address...03:05
maekI did "vmware ubuntu copy no network" 3rd hit03:05
boredandbloggingdendrobates: ping03:06
maekjmarsden: thanks for the help and the grep -ril :) have a good night03:09
jmarsdenNo problem.  Goodnight.03:09
oh_noesMaybe a long shot ... but anyone know a Supermicro Motherboard (S775) which isn't FakeRAID in Ubuntu Server?03:21
twbALL raid found on a motherboard is fakeraid03:22
twbAnd fakeraid is always fakeraid -- it doesn't matter what OS you run.03:23
twbjmarsden: I really hate that rule where it learns MACs03:23
twbIt causes me no end of trouble when dealing with bootable removable media03:24
oh_noes(12:22:57 PM) twb: ALL raid found on a motherboard is fakeraid <- that's not entirely true.   Maybe for Desktop boards.03:25
jmarsdentwb: Isn't there some way to disable the rule generation script that creates those rules?  Feels like their should be.03:25
oh_noesMy question is, for a Supermicro SERVER board, what RAID chipset should I be looking at that isnt FakeRAID to Ubuntu03:25
oh_noesI have a few IBM x3550's, which work perfectly as proper RAID.  Because they are true Hardware RAID, just built on with the board03:25
twbjmarsden: there is, but it's totally obtuse03:26
twbjmarsden: on a modern system, you can't just delete the entry that generates it -- because that's now in /usr03:26
twbjmarsden: instead, you have to make an EMPTY file with the same name in /etc/udev/rules.d03:26
oh_noesAnother way to ask my same question, how can I find out if a  LSI 1068E Controller will be detected as FakeRAID to ubuntu?03:27
jmarsdenHmmm... this should at least be documented somewhere easy to find... is there a page on wiki.ubuntu.com about it or something similar?03:27
twboh_noes: I dunno about server boards, but AFAIK the IBM server we got used fakeraid.03:29
jmarsdenoh_noes: There might be a way to grep through the kernel sources looking for its PCI ID and see what gets done with it. but that feels... harder than it should be.03:29
twb*I dunno *much* about server boards, I should've said03:30
oh_noesthe IBM x3550 we have here installed without an issue as real RAID03:32
oh_noeslet me ask in a different way, how do I find a controller (even if its seperate PCIe) that will not be dected as FakeRAID by Ubuntu?03:32
twboh_noes: how do you know it's real raid?03:35
jmarsdenI'm not sure.  There is info on that contrioller and Ubuntu and RAID in http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-973912.html03:35
oh_noestwb: because it appears as a single disk to Ubuntu installation.   (and it's a $6000 x3550 SAS IBM ServRAID RAID 1 Mirror)03:38
twboh_noes: that doesn't mean it's hardware raid03:38
twbWhen fakeraid is actually working, it will appear as a single disk to ubuntu.03:39
oh_noesThen what's the definition of hardware raid03:39
twbIt's only the lowest end of fakeraid that doesn't even manage that.03:39
twboh_noes: no, hardware raid does raid using a coprocessor -- fakeraid does it using the main, general-purpose GPU.03:39
jmarsdenoh_noes: That the controller chip does the work rather than pushing it off onto the host CPU03:39
twbs/GPU/CPU/03:39
oh_noeswell.... to tell my truth, my main concern is to have the RAID handled by the Board.  So hotswap and instant rebuild is handled by the controller03:39
oh_noeswhether IOPS are handled by the CPU isn't my major concern03:40
oh_noesthe box we're building, we need the physical hotswap port to work with the controller to rebuild03:40
twboh_noes: it also means you need to shut down your OS to manage the array03:40
oh_noesthere is no array management, we're building predefined boxes (w/ RAID1) then thats it03:40
twboh_noes: or run binary vendor blobs that will probably break randomly when you perform security updates.03:40
oh_noestheres no changing things etc03:40
twboh_noes: well, lucky you, I guess...03:42
jmarsdenoh_noes: One way to check controllers could be to read the kernel documentation for the various real RAID drivers such as aacraid, they list what controllers they support...03:42
twbFWIW: http://linux-ata.org/faq-sata-raid.html03:43
twb12:48 <russm> but anyway, grovel through the kernel logs for raid-type controllers is the best answer I've got...03:44
oh_noestwb: ta for the link, jst what i was looking for03:46
twbLooking at this IBM poster here, I guess you are using the "IBM ServeRAID controller".03:47
twbGoogle implies this is fakeraid03:47
twbSpecifically, that it's a rebadged Adaptec HostRAID03:48
twbBTW, as you claim don't need to manage the array... how do you plan to be notified when the array becomes degraded?03:50
jmarsdenIn case it helps, in the kernel sources Documentation/scsi/aacraid.txt mentions that controller, and aacraid is (I think) a "real" RAID driver, so how fake it is may be somewhat open to interpretation?03:51
twbjmarsden: I suppose the internet could be wrong :-)03:51
jmarsdentwb: If aacraid sees the array the way it sees other Adaptec RAID controllers, I'd expect it to handle the degradation notification in the same way too...03:53
twbjmarsden: righto!03:53
oh_noesHrmm, it looks like the "3ware 8006-2LP" will suit me needs as well.  True 2 port SATA Hardware RAID1.03:54
oh_noeshow do I find out 100% that its supported as true hardware RAID in Ubuntu?03:54
oh_noes3ware.com says: "Linux 2.6.x kernel includes a driver for the 8000 series controller" -- doesnt say if its FakeRAID though03:55
jmarsdenI don't think many vendors will advertize "our controllers are fakeraid" -- not a good marketing tactic :)03:55
twbI've never seen a vendor mention fakeraid :-)03:57
oh_noesAccording to http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html, it's real Hardware RAID03:57
twb3ware traditionally make hardware raid, AFAIK03:57
twbThat doesn't mean ALL their stuff is necessarily hardware raid, though...03:58
oh_noesthe page i linked above is really helpful, seems to list most controllers and if they are real/fake raid03:58
oh_noestwb: http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html#ibm :)03:59
jmarsdenI'd say a 3ware controller that Rick Moen says is hardware RAID is *very* likely to be hardware RAID.  If you need 100%... you'd have to read the kernel driver sources, I think.03:59
twbjmarsden: nice one03:59
twbIf Rick Moen says something, it is probably true03:59
twbTo be 100% certain you'd have to visually inspect the board and find the coprocessor, then watch the electrons travel to and from it04:00
jmarsdenAnd it seems "ServeRAID" is a meaningless marketing term for "whatever IBM rebadges", so some are hardware and some are not.  So maybe twb's ServRAID is fakeraid and oh_noes' ServeRAID is hardware RAID...04:03
twbActually I never used my IBM RAID becaue $boss accidentally bought the one without RAID5 support :-/04:04
twbBut it didn't bother me so much, because I love md RAID.04:04
TimReichhartcould anybody tell me the code for forwarding emails inside of mysql?05:56
niels_I just installed Jaunty Server and I had to choose Lilo as a BootLoader, cause GRUB couldn't get installed. Now, if I boot the server all I get are tons of 99 on the screen.Has anyone got an idea what went wrong and how to solve that?06:12
twbniels_: that happens if you try to put /boot inside LVM06:15
twbOr inside RAID506:15
twbYou're getting 99s on screen because LILO hasn't work, either.06:16
niels_twb: I haven't configured LVM at all...06:17
niels_Ahhh...the RAID might be Prob, though06:17
niels_twb: Thx06:17
twbYou must make a separate RAID1 array for /boot06:18
niels_hmm...I have a Hardware RAID-6 here...06:21
twbThere's no such thing as RAID6.06:38
jmarsdentwb: Says who?  It's defined as RAID5 plus an extra parity drive so it tolerates two simultaneous disk failures, if I remember rightly...06:39
twbjmarsden: no, that's still RAID5.06:39
niels_twb: well there is - at least you can configure your array in the Adaptec RAID Utility as a RAID-606:39
twbBut vendors call RAID5 with two parity drives "RAID6" sometimes, in an effort to confuse and annoy me, personally.06:39
jmarsdenhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID also defines RAID6...  another personal attack on you, I assume...06:40
twbOops, apparently I'm wrong06:40
twbNeevr mind.06:40
niels_;-)06:41
twbBut I stand by RAID10 being nonsense06:41
sammyokay, just in case I'm missing something: 9.04 shipped with 2.6.28. there's a bug in 2.6.28 that halts my box on boot. its (supposedly!) fixed in 2.6.29. I'd like to install 9.04 onto this box. I should install 8.10, build the 2.6.29 kernel, then do a dist-update to 9.04? if there was a 2.6.29 package, I *could* create a custom install CD. but that seems like much more work06:59
sammyI can't see any other way to get 9.04 installed. I certainly can't use this nice pretty cd I just burned :P btw the bug is with my drive controller, the one I need to use to install 9.04. otherwise I could use some kernel command line magic to keep the offending module from loading, I bet.07:01
jmarsdensammy: Boot from LiveCD, tweak so relevant module does not load, install from there... maybe???07:06
tv7497guys is there a way to monitor what files are uploaded and download from my server well i have a lamp and openssh server , well most of my friends use filezilla sftp protocol to access my server and download files is it possible to monitor these transaction? i use jaunty on a 64bit system07:54
tv7497guys anyone ?07:56
niels_how ill I get rid of Grub not being installed on my system. It fails with the error code 1. What else is seen on the tty is that ext2fs and ext3fs wont be found...what an unreal suprise07:57
niels_If I would finish the install without having grub installed how will I boot the server?07:57
niels_LILO isn't an alternate choice as LILO has got major probs, as far as I know, with RAID systems07:58
jmarsdentv7497: Try turning up the logging level of your sshd?  man 5 sshd_config08:01
tv7497jmarsden: how do i do it well i am really new to this08:02
jmarsdenniels_: You'll want to figure out why GRUB is failing to install and fix that; as a temporary approach you might be able to boot from some other media, such as a CD or usb stick, but it is going to be awkward.08:02
jmarsdentv7497: Did you read that man page?08:03
jmarsdenType the command man 5 sshd_config and read it... :)08:03
tv7497jmarsden: thanks :)08:03
jmarsdenI'm about to go to bed, I can't handhold you through actually editing the config file, but basically you'll just want to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config appropriately (to set a more verbose logging level) and restart sshd.  Then look in the log files under /var/log for the resulting log entries.08:04
niels_jmarsden: I can't get that far on the server :-(08:04
jmarsdenniels_: You can't boot it from a LiveCD and specify root=/dev/whatever to use the hard drive's root partition...?08:05
jmarsdenAnyway, I'm off to sleep... goodnight all :)08:06
niels_cu jmarsden08:07
niels_have a decent sleep, though and thaks again08:08
niels_thats kinda weird now: If I say stop the installation without having a bootloader installed I'm getting told that the partioning setup of the harddrives haven't been made.Well I have made the partitioning of the drives...What's going on here?Anyone an idea?08:18
bubbamyphpadmin wouldnt install on my windows box..any advice?08:24

stanman1hi, could anyone help me a bit with rsync? I get read permission errors on some paths (/var/www)08:31
stanman1do i need to add the rsyncinguser to www-data?08:32
tv7497jmarsden: well i don't seem getting any thing of that :( well i tried reading logs of what are the last transaction happened from (/var/log/auth.log) but i wasnt able to understand anything , could you help me with any simple kinda of thing that would let me know whats happening in my server and08:32
niels_stanman1: maybe you should see 1st what the permissions on /var/ww/ are and than you might want to change them...08:36
niels_stanman1: another thing nice to have,if xou want help, is to tell us what exactly you are doing08:36
stanman1niels_: am a bit afraid to do so, as i run ispconfig on the machine hosting several shared site08:36
stanman1i want to move from one machine to another, using openvz containers08:37
stanman1i can ssh into both boxes and start rsync, but in the end i get some errors08:37
tv7497niels_: is there a way to monitor what files are uploaded and download from my server well i have a lamp and openssh server , well most of my friends use filezilla sftp protocol to access my server and download files is it possible to monitor these transaction? i use jaunty on a 64bit system08:37
stanman1should i run rsync as root?08:41
niels_can't you just use the vzmigrate command?08:41
niels_vzmigrate --online <user@host>08:42
stanman1i did the vzdump an moved it all to the new server, all port 80 traffic is running to the new one08:42
stanman1but to move the Maildirs i need to rsync first before routing mail to the new server08:42
niels_I guess vzmigrate would've been the better choice, but I'm not sure as I am not quite familiar with OpneVZ08:43
niels_That might be a good place for your probs, too. At least i would try to find someone there If you want to talk to the OpenVZ users and sometimes developers live, we can usually be found on the #openvz channel on irc.freenode.net.08:44
sammyjmarsden: if youre still around, thats a good suggestion, but the offending module is the ide controller the drive I want to install 9.04 on is connected to :P so disabling it wont help.08:44
niels_sorry, that i cant give you any better advice08:44
stanman1no probs niels, thanks for the info anyway.08:45
sammyhow would I go about finding how long it should be until 2.6.29 has a package? I used to compile my own kernel for years, but one of the whole reasons of using ubuntu now is so I don't have to :P08:45
niels_sammy: jmarsden went already to bed :-)08:45
sammyit must already have a package in debian somewhere08:45
sammysorry niels_, I didn't go through everything I missed. I think I'm just stuck with installing 8.10, compiling the kernel, then doing a dist-upgrade08:47
niels_No worries ;-)08:47
sammythough maybe the udma66 just doesn't matter that much08:47
niels_I dont even remember what you are trying or to fix...I ended up with reinstalling Jaunty Server and I hope that he'll now writes the Grub Bootloader into the NBR08:48
niels_Actually the system is still formatting, well 6TB may take a while ;-)08:49
sammyoh. my second onboard IDE controller's driver is borked in 2.6.28, which means I can't install server 9.04 using udma66 since the first controller only does udmda3308:50
niels_Thats unreal...kind of08:50
sammywhats great is 2.6.29 supposedly has it fixed. so I can install 8.10, compile 2.6.29 by hand (or using whatever little CLI scripts or GUI ubuntu has) and then do a dist-upgrade to 9.04 :P08:51
sammyand at this point I might just use the #$^*#* udma33 controller, install 9.04, and wait until the 2.6.29 package reaches jaunty-um... not backports. whatever the 'unless you enable this repository, you wont see this until karmic koala' one is.08:52
sammymaybe I'll get one of my linux newb friends to compile the kernel by hand. if I wanted to do it, I'd stick with gentoo :)08:53
sammyI've done my time learning how to hand compile things. i've earned pre-compiled binaries! though, HA it's a p3, so, I should probably compile my own kernel anyway, for the sake of every bit of free memory08:54
sammyokay I'm just going on by myself now. I'm going to move that drive to the udma3 controller and install 9.04 :) I have two jabber servers, an apache server, asterisk and openldap to migrate. cheers, and have fun waiting for your 6tb to format :P08:55
niels_sammy: have fun as well08:55
niels_I might go for a smoke and a coffee08:58
sammyoh a smoke! good idea.09:00
niels_yep ;-)09:01

huatsI am currently lookig at the virstinst merge09:38
soreno/09:38
huatsI have noticed that (in the current ubuntu  version) you switched from python-support to python-central, any reason ?09:39
huatsDo I need to do the same switch, while from my understanding python-support is prefered right now09:39
ttysimplexio: what do you mean by that? these php files are already workign under xampp in a windowz box. some of them using mssql_connect and some of them using odbc_connect. and i want to tranfer there file to a linux box. however. although the first (using mssql_connect) work just fine, the latter (usign odbc_connect) dont09:40
sorenhuats: When I first looked at the package, it didn't use neither python-support nor python-central. I preferred python-central, so I used that. Later, it started using python-support in Debian.09:43
sorenhuats: Since then, I tried switching to python-support, but the upgrades failed horribly.09:43
sorenhuats: and I just couldn't be bothered to fix that.09:44
huatssoren:  ok09:45
huats:)09:45
sorenhuats: It's because all the upgrade magic is put into the maintainer scripts depending on which of python-{central,support} you're using to build the package, so if you suddenly switch, you need to maintain all of that yourself, which is a major pain.09:45
huatssure09:45

eolo999hi, i'm up to this point: after a fight with bridging/dhcp/networking i know have running vms with a reachable ip. the problem, now, is that the machines do not accept my private key for root login. First it told me that my permission were wrong so i chmodded 400 the key. After that i do not receive the error but still asks me for the root password! any hints?13:29
eolo999sorry: i'm talking about eucalyptus in jaunty13:30
zoopstereolo999: machines=hosts? cc's, nc, or are you referring to vm's13:36

madlergood day everyone ... is there any way apart from compiling myself to get a newer version of samba on a hardy install? I am having massive problems with samba 3.0 and remote subnet domain joins ... and upgrading seems to only be the last thing which I have not checked14:32
Sam-I-Ammadler: well...14:34
Sam-I-Ami built a debian package for hardy of samba of 3.3.214:34
Sam-I-Amer, of samba 3.3.214:35
Sam-I-Amit was the jaunty package, but its backported14:35
madler3.3.4 is afaik current stable ... but seems new enough to me ... is there a repository for it?14:35
Sam-I-Amno, its sitting on my local machine14:36
Sam-I-Ambut if you have a place i can send it to... it also has a few dependencies14:36
Sam-I-Ami'm planning to put a bunch of backports up on my PPA but i havent gotten there yet14:37
Sam-I-Amor if you want i have detailed instructions on building it yourself14:38
Sam-I-Amincluding building the dependencies14:38
madlerSam-I-Am: that would be much appreciated14:39
madlerthe build instructions14:39
Sam-I-Amsure... lemmie send them to pastebin14:39
Sam-I-Am(and see how they look first)14:39
madlerdo you think this would apply to 3.2.11 aswell ... as this seems a bit more tested (at least from the version numbers)14:39
Sam-I-Amwell, these instructions use the jaunty package and make it work on hardy... compiling from upstream source you'd need to do a bit more work to make a debian package... however you could just build and install in /usr/local, but that gets messy.14:40
madlerhmmm14:42
madlerso frustrating14:43
madleryes ... smbldap open connection; check_ntlm_passwd success ... one error which I see quite often is  "read_data: read failure for 4 bytes to client 192.168.10.117. Error = Connection reset by peer" ... but this happens on all machines ... I can't pin-point this either14:56
madlerI am pulling my hair out meanwhile14:56
Sam-I-Amhmm14:57
Sam-I-Amhave you tried a tcpdump on the windows machine to see if the traffic getting sent from samba is making it back?14:58
Sam-I-Amyou should see the same traffic on both ends if the connection is clear14:58

LeChacalhello, I am looking at buying an HP workstation/server that has a LSI 8888ELP RAID controller card in it, the HP site doesn't have any Linux drives for it so i think HP is assuming that drives are natively available (HP only support RHE4, RHE5, and Suse Enterprise 11). Now on the LSI site they have Linux drives for the controller but for RHE3/4/5, Suse Ent9/10/11, CentOS 5.2, and Fedora 9. My question is can I get a driver out of one of these that 15:48
Sam-I-Amif its open source it should just be in the kernel15:48
LeChacalSam-I-Am:what do you mean by if its open source it should be in the kernel?15:49
Sam-I-Amif lsi is just releasing its drivers as open source it'll probably be in most kernels15:50
Sam-I-Amhave you googled?15:50
LeChacalSam-I-Am: and are you saying in the server kernel or in the desktop?15:50
LeChacalyes i googled the card with linux behind it and nothing really comes up as people having problems with it or anything but I also dont see anyone else talking about drives for it15:50
Sam-I-Ameither one... they're more or less the same driver-wise15:50
Sam-I-Amif you downloaded the redhat driver or .tar.gz, can you figure out the module name?  if so, you can see if its in the ubuntu kernel15:51
LeChacallet me look and see if i can find the module name, but the file they provide for the drive is a zip archive with an rmp, img, and tgz in it, and the tgz look like just normal source that i can compile15:54

billybigriggeri just acquired an old pentium box, i haven't had a chance to look inside it yet, but my plans for it are to make a server out of it...right now my only box is dual purposing as a desktop/web/mail/ftp server...what is the best way i can migrate the server side of my current box over to this new server?20:39

billybigriggergcleric::: no20:41
gclericif you are you could image the server side with something like dd and restore it to the old box.  then using the LiveCD modify the fstab to change the drive it's pointing at to sda.20:42
billybigriggergcleric::: i just have jaunty desktop installed, but also apache/mysql/php/proftpd packages installed on top20:42
billybigriggeri don't think that will work20:42
billybigriggerhmmm20:42
billybigriggerill just have to reconfigure i imagine eh?20:42
gclericthen I'd build a new  box from scratch and migrate services to the new box.20:42
gclericjust tgz up the data and configs and restore them to the new box20:44
gclericthat is after you install the servives on the new box.20:44

billybigriggergcleric::: thanks20:48
billybigriggeralso...i just found the two usb inputs are not working...this box was made in '97 according to the sticker on the back and im wondering if my newer usb dongle for keyboard and mouse are too new for it...now i don't have a ps2 kb/mouse20:49
giovani|workbillybigrigger: no, there's no such thing as "too new" in USB20:50
dinger1986or remondo makes an image20:50
billybigriggerso is there anyway to do a networked install? probably not eh? like the only thing i plan on doing with this box is hooking up power and wire it...20:50
gclericgiovani|work: unless he's refering to USB 1.120:50
giovani|workbillybigrigger: USB 2.0 works with USB 1.x -- however, your mouse/keyboard are likely not USB 2.0 anyway20:50
giovani|workdinger1986: I'm unclear on how that's better than using dd ... mind explaining?20:50
billybigriggergiovani|work::: i thought they were backwards compatible...20:50
giovani|workbillybigrigger: they are, I just said that20:51
billybigriggergiovani|work::: well ill just have to open it up, and see if there's something visibly wrong with the inputs then20:51
dinger1986none over using dd20:51
billybigriggergiovani|work::: ya, and i said i thought they were, thanks for confirming20:51
giovani|workbillybigrigger: however, a system as old as 97 might not support USB for keyboard input20:51
giovani|workin the bios, etc20:51
billybigriggerahh20:51
dinger1986they wont20:51
giovani|workshould work with an OS that has drivers, though20:51
dinger1986do you have anyusb to ps2 adapterS?20:52
billybigriggergiovani|work::: so will i have usb kb/mouse during ubuntu install? or no because the bios won't support it20:52
giovani|workbillybigrigger: I can't say for sure20:52
billybigriggernegative on the usb-ps2 adapter20:52
giovani|workbillybigrigger: any problem with just trying it and rolling with the punches?20:52
billybigriggerfuck, im gonna have to look through a bunch of shit stored away in the storage room, and even then i might not find the old kb/mouse i had...i think i chucked it a long time ago20:53
billybigriggergiovani|work::: nothing wrong with rolling with the punchs20:53
giovani|workbillybigrigger: I said try it ...20:53

billybigriggerIM TRYING! :P20:53
giovani|worktrying? it either works ir not20:53
giovani|workor*20:53
giovani|workbillybigrigger: and yes, network-booted installs (PXE) do absolutely work, we do dozens of them a week here20:57
giovani|workso that's an option if you want to set it up20:58
billybigriggerso i can install without a kb/mouse if i HAVE to20:58
billybigriggernice...20:58
giovani|workbut it's probably more work to set that up than it is to find a PS2 keyboard, if in fact the USB keyboard doesn't work20:58
billybigriggerahh20:58
billybigriggerbummer...20:58
giovani|workI'm not sure who doesn't have a PS2 keyboard20:58
dinger1986why nt install on another machine then take it across?20:59
dinger1986and repair network cards etc20:59
giovani|workthat's a horrible solution20:59
giovani|workplease don't recommend that to users20:59
dinger1986ok21:00
giovani|workbillybigrigger: so you have or have not tested the usb keyboard in the ubuntu installer?21:00
billybigriggerdownloading install cd as we speak21:01
billybigriggeri used to have a ps2 keyboard/mouse but i think its long gone21:02
giovani|workhonestly, you should ALWAYS have one21:02
giovani|workUSB is a far too complex protocol to rely on for something as simple as a keyboard21:02
billybigriggerwell i used to have 3 box's in my comp room so instead of running kb's/mice to all of them i bought a usb kb/mouse with a dongle and they all had usb, and it worked great....now that was years ago and i've clean house a bit and downsized to 1 machine, which was a dumb idea, i should have kept my old server box in the first place21:07
billybigriggeri really don't feel like going through the boxes in my storage room to find that kb though...if i can get it to work some other way i will :P21:08
billybigriggerwell i don't know how i can enter bios a set boot to cd21:31
billybigriggeri need a kb21:31
billybigriggerthis sucks21:31
billybigriggergiovani|work::: how do i net install?21:31
