[03:28] Anirban1987: upgrade to karmic, the as-yet-unreleased next version of Ubuntu [03:28] !cherry-picking [03:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about cherry-picking [03:29] twb : Can't I upgrade the php in Ubuntu 9.04 itself ? [03:31] Anirban1987: you can, but it is not something that a novice should do, because you can screw up your system that way [03:31] !pinning [03:31] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [03:31] That document explains how [03:33] hello people [03:33] i am having problem with static ip [03:33] That doesn't surprise me. [03:33] twb : Can u do it for me if I give u SSH root access to my server ? [03:34] i changed /etc/network/interfaces but when i reset network i am getting error "failed to bring up eth0" [03:34] Anirban1987: no, and you should not offer arbitrary IRC denizens such privileges. [03:34] wizardslovak: pastebin interfaces [03:35] twb : Can u atleast give me relevant web site links on how to do it ? [03:35] Anirban1987: is there a good reason you need to upgrade to 5.2.9? [03:36] ajmitch : I am going to start a web hosting company. Need to practice all those tricks beforehand. [03:38] http://pastebin.com/m15fbc0cd [03:38] ajmitch , twb : Will be thankful if u giv necessary instructions how to do so. [03:38] twb did refer to a page about it a few minutes ago [03:39] wizardslovak: I can't see anything obviously wrong there, but try removing the gateway line. [03:40] wizardslovak: if that doesn't help, pastebin the output of "ifdown --force eth0; ifup eth0". [03:42] ok i removed gateway line and no errors now [03:47] ajmitch : This instruction is very generalized in nature.

I thought a couple of weeks ago I was able to download 0.60-2009-04-05-1 [14:40] slestak: didn't you fetch the .deb from Debian? [14:41] it hasn't built in Ubuntu yet (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/putty/0.60+2009-04-05-1/+build/974105) - I need to fix that [14:41] cjwatson: ty, i had forgotten [14:41] bunch 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 :) [14:42] cjwatson: pls count on me for testign your deb, i am addicted to that product [14:42] cjwatson: _allocate a solid hour to remembering_ ;) isnt that what the wiki is for? [14:43] cjwatson: think 64 bit will be an issue for that package? i'm reinstalling my workstation this morning. [14:44] shouldn't be, works fine on Debian [14:45] cjwatson: i was thinking i may contact the debian maintainer and help him out, but... dang, your busy [14:46] yep, same guy [14:48] if 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? [15:00] * Faust-C gets ready to ditch openfiler and use ubuntu instead [15:00] kirkland: hey ! are you available for a little chat regarding your patch on virt-manager ? [15:01] huats: sure, what's up [15:01] OK do you remember writting a patch regarding the access rights to /dev/kvm ? [15:02] apparently soren thinks you wrote it :) [15:03] how do I upgrade from 8.04 ?

[15:06] huats: please prepend "kirkland" to any messages to me [15:07] huats: i only look up when my nick is said ;-) [15:07] for how long is a non-lts-version supported? [15:07] huats: i think so, maybe, let me grab the source [15:07] kirkland: yeah I tend to do the same... I will [15:07] kirkland: I can pastebin you the code if you want [15:09] sgsax: so I can only upgrade from LTS to LTS if I use do-release-upgrade ? [15:09] I don't know, I don't usually do in-place upgrades [15:09] I was just guessing at that behavior [15:09] huats: are you talking about debian/patches/test_kvm_perms.patch ? [15:10] kirkland: indeed [15:10] http://pastebin.com/f25cc64d [15:11] huats: see: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virt-manager/+bug/187048 [15:11] Launchpad bug 187048 in virt-manager "virDomainCreateLinux() failed Timed out while reading console startup output" [Medium,Fix released] [15:12] kirkland: I'd like to talk about it, since I am not sure it is needed to keep it... [15:13] kirkland: let me look at the bug [15:18] kirkland: 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 vm [15:19] (I am using qemu usermode with virt-manager which might be the clue in that case) [15:22] axisys: do-release-upgrade -d [15:27] huats: okay, i have something due in 30 minutes [15:27] kirkland: no pb [15:27] huats: you mind if i ping you after i get that uploaded ? [15:27] kirkland: no pb [15:27] kirkland: do what you have to do first [15:28] huats: cheers; you're welcome to ping me after 30 minutes if i forget :-) [15:28] ok [15:28] I will [15:51] huats: mail! :p [15:51] ivoks: rrrgggghhh [15:51] :) [15:51] ivoks: will do... [15:56] huats: yo [15:56] huats: okay, you have my almost-undivided attention :-) [15:56] hmm i might as well start a project to replace openfiler [15:57] huats: yes, i am responsible for that patch [15:57] kinda odd how no one has made a storage distro w/ ubuntu [15:57] huats: the bug I referred you to has the whole history [15:57] huats: you're trying to determine if this patch is still required or not? [15:57] kirkland: exactly :) that is what I am trying to figure out [15:58] huats: do you have a /dev/kvm device? [15:58] kirkland: I do [16:01] huats: what are the perms on that device? [16:02] kirkland: crw-rw----+ 1 root kvm [16:03] huats: and what's your groups? [16:03] huats: id [16:03] huats: are you in the kvm group, i mean [16:04] uid=1000(chris) gid=1000(chris) groupes=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),33(www-data),46(plugdev),106(lpadmin),121(admin),122(sambashare),1000(chris) [16:04] and I am not in the kvm group [16:04] huats: and you can run virt-manager vm's with kvm acceleration, right? [16:05] kirkland: it is the case right [16:06] kirkland: any stuffs to test that ? [16:06] (to validate because I am 99% sure it is the case) [16:07] huats: do vm's run slow as snot? [16:07] kirkland: nope they all run very well [16:07] ... [16:09] huats: i think this is actually fixed by a hal policy i wrote for kvm [16:09] huats: grab the kvm source [16:09] * Add debian/10-kvm.fdi, debian/org.freedesktop.hal.kvm.policy: hal object [16:09] descriptor and policy file for kvm/virt-hardware [16:09] * debian/kvm.install; Put the hal/PolicyKit configuration in the correct [16:09] place (LP: #273764) [16:10] huats: i think that should render the virt-manager patch unnecessary [16:10] bug #273764 [16:10] Launchpad bug 273764 in kvm "add hal/PolicyKit support to kvm" [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/273764 [16:10] kirkland: 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 now [16:14] huats: okay, and you're definitely NOT in the kvm group? [16:14] no I am not [16:14] I have also checked the /etc/group file [16:15] I am in the admin group, but I am not using sudo and I am not asked for my passwd [16:15] kirkland: so I think we can skip it now [16:17] huats: yeah, it think we're good [16:17] ok great [16:17] huats: in your changelog, where you explain why you drop this patch... [16:17] so thanks for your help ! [16:17] huats: please mention LP: #273764 [16:17] huats: thanks for your merge! [16:17] huats: let me know if you need sponsorship [16:17] I will refer to it for sure.... [16:18] kirkland: will do ! [16:28] kirkland: a collegue and I just made a bit of work on bug #243393 .

Thanks for the hint [16:35] lionel: +1 to what ScottK said ;-) [16:37] kirkland: I asked in #ubuntu-kernel, waiting for the answer now :) [16:39] I'm looking at a little project that will correlate USN reports with package update status [16:39] are the reports available in raw xml and/or in a more concise (brief) format?

It means upgrade to the development release and also upgrade to the next non-LTS release. [16:53] ScottK: oh ok.. thnx [16:53] Assuming you want to upgrade to Intrepid (and then maybe Jaunty) that's what you want. [16:54] The warning is about the development release.

[17:18] did you update before that? [17:19] sgsax: specifically what report are you trying to generate? (we may already have a tool for it...)

[17:44] basically, what I'd ultimately like to be able to do is extract a simple package name, version number, and one-sentence summary from the USN [17:44] that is relevant to the local machine [17:44] the first two parts should be simple, the abbreviated summary I was hoping to find an existing source to draw from [18:11] I posted this to the server listserv but realized I should've tried this first: does anyone know how to get mibII/mta_sendmail module support for the snmpd package that is available via the repos? [18:20] i did the sudo apt-get update before that .. if that question was for me [18:20] !seen ivoks [18:20] I have no seen command [18:21] seems like ivoks left [18:21] and seen is not a valid command either === miked is now known as grumpling [18:32] Sorry if I repeat my question too soon but, does anyone know how to get mibII/mta_sendmail module support in for the snmpd package that is in the repos?

[18:51] kees: I don't think so [18:52] kees: IIUC debconf-set-selections can be used to preseed specific questions [18:52] mathiaz: cool, that's perfect [18:53] kees: I don't think it wipes the rest of the debconf database (that would be odd) [18:53] the manpage worried me :) [19:39] kees: 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 vulnerable [19:39] I 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] sgsax: ah, but wouldn't "apt-get install dist-upgrade" show the same list? [19:40] sgsax: or do you want it finer grained? [19:40] sgsax: I wonder if nxvl has anything like this yet. [19:40] I'm doing something similar by parsing output from -s dist-upgrade [19:41] the glsa-check goes one step further by adding the vuln ID and a very terse summary of the vuln [19:41] so you can easily look up the vuln and decide if it's an urgent threat or not [19:48] kees: sample output: http://pastebin.com/mbfed63 [21:03] Can you mix kickstart preseed options with d-i options in the same file? [21:04] sorry, this is a test [21:10] can someone recommend a book for learning how ubuntu/linux works? [21:10] I have basic ubuntu knowledge but I want to learn about the internals [21:13] Have you read ubuntu server guide [21:13] which is available for download from ubuntu site [21:14] HaiHarry: no. I'll start with that [21:15] HaiHarry: I'm looking for more basic linux understanding about threads, processes and sockets [21:16] HaiHarry: actually this guide looks great. thanks [21:28] benc1: you are welcome [22:24] the 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" [22:26] the 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.

I don't run a gui on my servers [23:18] bobg, owh ok... thx... [23:19] anyone know a good channel for network tuning and analysis?
