nat2610I'm trying to flash a bios on a linux server and I want to copy freedos on a floppy disk, I'm following those instruction : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318789 where it says to do  a dd if=FDOEM.144 of=/dev/fd0   my issue is that dd says that it does it at 104M/s and in fact it doesn't do it at all I can't recall,  but I think there is some kind of sync comamnd to type to get the data to really be copied01:15
nat2610on the fd0 ... anybody see what I m talking about and can give me that command ?01:15
nat2610or know how to actually write the FDEEOM on a floppy disk01:16
matt1211I have a question, I have a parralel port with a printer plugged into it, to print, I usually use the command cat /path/to/file >/dev/devicename.  My questions are, will this work to print to the printer, and how do I detect the device name of the printer?01:28
nat2610matt1211, it should work but you can't detect the device name, you have to use the serial device or something like ... (ttyS0 probably)01:32

hikenboothello I setup ubuntu server with a non raided /boot directory and a raided / and /home directory with lvm so its raided and on lvm...On first boot it fails saying there appears to be more than one degraded raid devices...anyone know how to fix?04:23
hikenboot/proc/modules doesnt list anything about lvm04:23
twbhikenboot: probably because it's built into the kernel.04:23
twbhikenboot: try /proc/mdstatu04:23
twbhikenboot: try /proc/mdstat04:23
twbYou'll probably find [U_] or [_U], meaning one node has been removed due to it breaking.04:24
twbYou normally try readding it manually -- if it drops out again, the disk is damaged and needs to be replaced04:24
twbFor critical data you can just skip to replacing the disk immediately, I guess04:24
hikenbootthey are new discs that have been used only a few times separately to install windows on04:25

Preston_anyone have any idea why webmin firewall does not seem to actually apply any iptables to my system. it's as if there is some software I am missing it say's it is starting the firewall on boot as well. i've looked for active iptables they are all empty ubuntu 9.04 server06:15
twbPreston_: webmin is wrong; avoid it.06:16
twbI can never find this on my own... where is the help.u.c or wiki.u.c page that describes Ubuntu's policy on what goes into -security, -updates, etc.?06:16
twbSpecifically, the page that basically says "we promise to only put security updates into -security".06:16
Preston_so what fire wall do you suggest06:17
twbHmm... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates?06:18
twbPreston_: ubuntu's default firewall infrastructure is ufw.  It is disabled by default.06:18
Preston_thx06:18
Preston_I've got it in I just need to learn to use it06:19
VSpikeFor a new setup, should I install samba or samba4?  It's for SOHO use, print serving with no domain07:19
twbSurely samba4 is not ready for production use?07:37
henkjanSamba 4 is still under heavy development. Samba 4 is not due to replace Samba 3 soon. Many of the required core features are present, but the code is still alpha and user tools as well as some core features are still missing.07:38
VSpikeThanks guys07:56

heath|homeHello, we are in the need of setting up production VM's of servers (DNS, http, mail, etc). We have looked into VMware, Citrix Xen, and the OSS Xen. The Citrix Xen does not have support for ubuntu. I am just looking for some opinions in the area.11:38

jonathan_haglundgreetings! are there any updated resources about installing 9.04 on hyperV? the video goes super slow and can't see my network adapter17:40
jmedinajonathan_haglund: probably because is running Fully Virtualized, normally you need I/O para virtualized drivers to get full speed17:45

rizresno: ubuntu will run on just about any x86 (or x86_64) hardware you toss at it19:53

CyDI'm trying to complete PCI compliance on an Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server. I'm planning to report that the PHP version check is a false positive, since I'm up to date and Ubuntu actively maintains my current version of PHP. Am I correct in these assumptions, or do I need to look at moving to PHP 5.2.8? Thanks much.20:00
Reepicheepresno: there is a lot of people doing that with a lot less then that.. but as riz pointed out it really depends on the amount of load20:01
resnoReepicheep: i truly imagine, it wont be doing much more then running. the network will have less then 3 users...20:02
resnoat least as i envision it now20:02
Reepicheepwhat about the web server?20:02
Reepicheepwhat kinda pages / and about of hits are you thinking?20:03
resnomainly be used for me... i have a hosting account for public viewing20:03
resnomight be useful is storing data: media, and music20:03
Reepicheepif it's just for internal usage.. and you have a machine laying around.. it should be plenty20:04
resnoquestion, i want to stream music from it, is there a good way to do it?20:04
Reepicheepjust keep in mind .. do you trust the hardware? if it is a gateway.. or in this instance  a proxy.. or even the DHCP server in a lesser way.. it needs to be running for you network to work20:05
Reepicheepstream music as in a file server?20:05
resnoyes20:05
Reepicheepyou shouldn't have to worry about that.. speed of the CPU doesn't really matter so much on file servers20:06
ThunderWolfI just installed ubuntu 8.04 LTS server edition on a machine i have at home, it has a network card but i dont have a eth0 interface. Whats going one?20:06
resnoReepicheep: let me rephrase my question. i want to stream music from the server, what is a good way to set this up?20:07
ReepicheepThunderWolf: does it show up when you run "lscpi | grep -i ethernet" ?20:07
CyDresno: easiest way is file shares, like samba (windows shares) or nfs. don't know if that's the idea you're shooting for20:08
Reepicheepresno: what are you streaming it to?20:08
CyDresno: i stream video and audio over wireless at home no problems to various boxes20:08
CyDif you dig on amarok, just tell it to grab your collection from the network share, then it's pretty transparent20:09
ThunderWolfReepicheep i dint work, says command not found20:10
ThunderWolf*it20:10
resnoCyD: Reepicheep iam thinking for something like iTunes.20:10
ReepicheepThunderWolf: are you running jeos or full server?20:11
ThunderWolfhmm.. what do you mean?20:11
ThunderWolfIts ubuntu server edition 32 bits 8.04 LTS20:12
ThunderWolfand i only installed OpenSSH after installation20:12
Reepicheepresno: if you are connecting to a file server like CyD is then you don't really need much just HD space on the machine then share it out with (afp, samba, or NFS)  but then in itunes you would have to move you itunes library to the share..20:13
Reepicheepstreaming to itunes is a hole nother thing20:13
resnoReepicheep: i am just trying to find a convient way to stream music off the server to windows/linux and other machines20:14
ReepicheepThunderWolf: you are probably running full server.. JeOS is a very light install of server .. I'm not sure that LTS has it.. anyway make sure you have pciutils installed then try running lspci again20:15

ThunderWolfok.. so do you have any other advice?20:18
sgsaxtell us what model it says it is so we can recommend the right module to try20:19

ThunderWolfD-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet20:19

ThunderWolfstrange feeling20:20
Reepicheepresno: I have seen software that dose that .. let me see if I can find it.. part of the problem is I can't spell raundevue.. or what ever they call it ;)20:21
sgsaxLTS kernel is a few versions older, but it should still recognize the nic, udev should be able to load the module20:21
sgsaxif you run "lsmod" you should see something listed with "8139" in it20:22
CyDThunderWolf: pretty odd that it wouldn't detect rtl8139, that is very common, i've certainly installed enough machines w/ it20:22

Reepicheepdoes anyone know why NTP stops and starts once for each bridge or vlan that I have on a system when it boots up or I reload the network?20:28

\shhttp://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-761-2 <- APril 27, 2009 fixes CVE-2008-5814, CVE-2009-127120:35
uvirtbot\sh: Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in PHP, possibly 5.2.7 and earlier, when display_errors is enabled, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.  NOTE: because of the lack of details, it is unclear whether this is related to CVE-2006-0208. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5814)20:35
\shthat's better20:35
uvirtbot\sh: The JSON_parser function (ext/json/JSON_parser.c) in PHP 5.2.x before 5.2.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a malformed string to the json_decode API function. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1271)20:35
