Anirban1987How can I upgrade from php 5.2.6 ( Inbuilt in Ubuntu 9.04 Server ed.) to latest stable ver. php 5.2.9 ?03:25
twbAnirban1987: upgrade to karmic, the as-yet-unreleased next version of Ubuntu03:28
twb!cherry-picking03:28
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about cherry-picking03:28
Anirban1987twb : Can't I upgrade the php in Ubuntu 9.04 itself ?03:29
twbAnirban1987: you can, but it is not something that a novice should do, because you can screw up your system that way03:31
twb!pinning03:31
ubottupinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto03:31
twbThat document explains how03:31
wizardslovakhello people03:33
wizardslovaki am having problem with static ip03:33
twbThat doesn't surprise me.03:33
Anirban1987twb : Can u do it for me if I give u SSH root access to my server ?03:33
wizardslovaki changed /etc/network/interfaces but when i reset network i am getting error "failed to bring up eth0"03:34
twbAnirban1987: no, and you should not offer arbitrary IRC denizens such privileges.03:34
twbwizardslovak: pastebin interfaces03:34
Anirban1987twb : Can u atleast give me relevant web site links on how to do it ?03:35
ajmitchAnirban1987: is there a good reason you need to upgrade to 5.2.9?03:35
Anirban1987ajmitch : I am going to start a web hosting company. Need to practice all those tricks beforehand.03:36
wizardslovakhttp://pastebin.com/m15fbc0cd03:38
Anirban1987ajmitch , twb : Will be thankful if u giv necessary instructions how to do so.03:38
ajmitchtwb did refer to a page about it a few minutes ago03:38
twbwizardslovak: I can't see anything obviously wrong there, but try removing the gateway line.03:39
twbwizardslovak: if that doesn't help, pastebin the output of "ifdown --force eth0; ifup eth0".03:40
wizardslovakok i removed gateway line and no errors now03:42
Anirban1987ajmitch : This instruction is very generalized in nature. What to do to specifically update from php 5.2.6 to 5.2.9.03:47

slestakcjwatson: good morning.  i was lookig for the karmic deb for putty for another workstation.  there doesnt appear to be any branches in LP.  I thought a couple of weeks ago I was able to download 0.60-2009-04-05-114:36
cjwatsonslestak: didn't you fetch the .deb from Debian?14:40
cjwatsonit hasn't built in Ubuntu yet (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/putty/0.60+2009-04-05-1/+build/974105) - I need to fix that14:41
slestakcjwatson: ty, i had forgotten14:41
cjwatsonbunch of whining about strict-aliasing rules which always results in me having to allocate a solid hour to remembering what those actually are and fixing them :)14:41
slestakcjwatson: pls count on me for testign your deb, i am addicted to that product14:42
slestakcjwatson: _allocate a solid hour to remembering_ ;)  isnt that what the wiki is for?14:42
slestakcjwatson: think 64 bit will be an issue for that package?  i'm reinstalling my workstation this morning.14:43
cjwatsonshouldn't be, works fine on Debian14:44
slestakcjwatson: i was thinking i may contact the debian maintainer and help him out, but... dang, your busy14:45
cjwatsonyep, same guy14:46
slestakif you get a non-standard package that drops a foo.desktop file on your desktop (yugma|komodo edit), where do we put those so they are available and in the menu for all users on teh box?14:48

huatskirkland: yeah I tend to do the same... I will15:07
huatskirkland: I can pastebin you the code if you want15:07
axisyssgsax: so I can only upgrade from LTS to LTS if I use do-release-upgrade ?15:09
sgsaxI don't know, I don't usually do in-place upgrades15:09
sgsaxI was just guessing at that behavior15:09

huatskirkland:  I'd like to talk about it, since I am not sure it is needed to keep it...15:12
huatskirkland: let me look at the bug15:13
huatskirkland: right now (on my jaunty) I am not a member of of kvm (and thus I cannot read or write on /dev/kvm) and I can create vm15:18
huats(I am using qemu usermode with virt-manager which might be the clue in that case)15:19

kirklandhuats: yo15:56
kirklandhuats: okay, you have my almost-undivided attention :-)15:56
Faust-Chmm i might as well start a project to replace openfiler15:56
kirklandhuats: yes, i am responsible for that patch15:57
Faust-Ckinda odd how no one has made a storage distro w/ ubuntu15:57
kirklandhuats: the bug I referred you to has the whole history15:57
kirklandhuats: you're trying to determine if this patch is still required or not?15:57
huatskirkland: exactly :) that is what I am trying to figure out15:57
kirklandhuats: do you have a /dev/kvm device?15:58
huatskirkland: I do15:58
kirklandhuats: what are the perms on that device?16:01
huatskirkland: crw-rw----+ 1 root kvm16:02
kirklandhuats: and what's your groups?16:03
kirklandhuats: id16:03
kirklandhuats: are you in the kvm group, i mean16:03

huatsand I am not in the kvm group16:04
kirklandhuats: and you can run virt-manager vm's with kvm acceleration, right?16:04
huatskirkland: it is the case right16:05
huatskirkland: any stuffs to test that ?16:06
huats(to validate because I am 99% sure it is the case)16:06
kirklandhuats: do vm's run slow as snot?16:07
huatskirkland: nope they all run very well16:07
huats...16:07
kirklandhuats: i think this is actually fixed by a hal policy i wrote for kvm16:09
kirklandhuats: grab the kvm source16:09
kirkland  * Add debian/10-kvm.fdi, debian/org.freedesktop.hal.kvm.policy: hal object16:09

kirkland  * debian/kvm.install; Put the hal/PolicyKit configuration in the correct16:09
kirkland    place (LP: #273764)16:09
kirklandhuats: i think that should render the virt-manager patch unnecessary16:10

uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 273764 in kvm "add hal/PolicyKit support to kvm" [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27376416:10
huatskirkland: actually I am running (for a few days)the new virt-manager (that I am about to push) WITHOUT your patch (the one we are talking about here) ... and it runs fine. Further more when I try to create a vm, it says at the end "virt type" "kvm", which tends to say it is useless now16:10
kirklandhuats: okay, and you're definitely NOT in the kvm group?16:14
huatsno I am not16:14
huatsI have also checked the /etc/group file16:14
huatsI am in the admin group, but I am not using sudo and I am not asked for my passwd16:15

axisysScottK: hmm.. just saw your comment16:52
axisysScottK: it says not recommended to use -d16:53
ScottKaxisys: -d is overloaded.  It means upgrade to the development release and also upgrade to the next non-LTS release.16:53
axisysScottK: oh ok.. thnx16:53
ScottKAssuming you want to upgrade to Intrepid (and then maybe Jaunty) that's what you want.16:53

keesmathiaz: hm, will debconf-set-selections take a subset?  i.e. running it with just the package's settings won't wipe everything else?18:51
mathiazkees: I don't think so18:51
mathiazkees: IIUC debconf-set-selections can be used to preseed specific questions18:52
keesmathiaz: cool, that's perfect18:52

sgsaxkees: glsa-check basically looks at the current list of glsa's (comparable to usn's), compares it to the list of currently installed packages, and generates a list of packages that are out-of-date and vulnerable19:39
emptyrobotboyI have ubuntu server 8.04 LTS and I have a PHP script that uses curl to open a website. This is failing at curl_init(). Do I need to install additional libraries? If so, how?19:39
keessgsax: ah, but wouldn't "apt-get install dist-upgrade" show the same list?19:39
keessgsax: or do you want it finer grained?19:40
keessgsax: I wonder if nxvl has anything like this yet.19:40
sgsaxI'm doing something similar by parsing output from -s dist-upgrade19:40
sgsaxthe glsa-check goes one step further by adding the vuln ID and a very terse summary of the vuln19:41
sgsaxso you can easily look up the vuln and decide if it's an urgent threat or not19:41
sgsaxkees: sample output: http://pastebin.com/mbfed6319:48

bobgthe tcp_congestion_control on my hardy xen kernel is set to "reno" and apparently reno is the only one compiled into the kernel (tcp_available_congestion_control =="reno"). What would I need to do to try "bic"22:24
bobgthe reason I notice is that I have a switch problem thats causing packet loss to all of our servers, but only the Ubuntu servers are choking on it. A similar debian etch server has "bic" and the packet loss is hardly noticable22:26
