[00:29] hello, what is better, adduser or useradd? [00:32] hi there, I am having problems with my PV, when i do pvsan i got Physical Volume /dev/dm-16 is too large for underlying device [00:34] and pv1: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error ...please help... [00:44] how i can check if i have bad blocks in my raid array? I mean some physical problem? [00:53] anyone? [00:55] xgpt: adduser is a frontend to useradd. it is meant to do the most common (simple) stuff [00:55] xgpt: same for addgroup and groupadd [00:56] thanks pmatulis [01:12] i am keep getting this every 10 mins [01:12] Aug 11 19:17:16 sys-ubuntu mpt-statusd: detected non-optimal RAID status [01:12] mpt-status query however shows all good http://pastebin.com/f602c051e [01:13] mpt-status bug ? [01:13] this is a x4100 with lsi raid controller [01:13] 02:03.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1064 PCI-X Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 02) === tonyyarusso is now known as Guest14191 [04:31] howto...blah awk'{ if (!$4) print "missing" }' ? like [ -z $4 ] ?? [05:05] A field can't be "missing" unless the line has fewer fields [05:05] Try #awk. [05:06] twb thx...didn't know there was #awk === qiyong_ is now known as qiyong [05:37] Well now. Is there like no simple setup method for setting up ip masquerading in Ubuntu? [05:41] psi-jack: there used to be an "ipmasq" package [05:41] But it was removed due to being really old, unmaintained, flaky and shit [05:41] IP masquerading is only a couple of iptables rules, #netfilter should be able to help you with the details. [05:42] If you're using ufw, you probably want to hook it into that. [05:42] ufw? [05:42] !ufw [05:42] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [05:42] Pardon but mostly I've gotten used to opensuse having yast. :) [05:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing#Ubuntu%20Internet%20Gateway%20Method%20(iptables) [05:44] This is one I'd also seen [05:46] Does ubuntu autosave the iptables rules, or is there an init script for it to do so, like most other distributions have? [05:48] I'm guessing..... No. [06:04] No. [06:05] psi-jack: Using ufw is the most supported way to do it. [06:30] Hmm [06:30] Okay, so firestarter is... Proving to be difficult. [06:31] psi-jack: ufw is the recommended firewall wrapper, not firestarter [06:31] Dude. ufw sucks. [06:32] File a bug report, then. [06:32] There's no bug to report, it just plain sucks. It's stupid, really. Supposed to make iptables "easier", when all it does is make it more annoying. [06:37] psi-jack: have u tried shorewall ? [06:38] No, I hadn't actually. [06:38] Not recently anyway. [06:38] psi-jack: i would recommend it. it quiet decent. all in few configuration file and easy to validate before applying [06:39] psi-jack: tom, who is the founder of the project still contributes a lot and he does a good jo [06:39] Yeah. I just gotta clear out what firewall had put in. bleh [06:47] hello === dvs is now known as Guest89400 === Guest89400 is now known as dvs_ [07:07] Yeaah.. Bleh. [07:15] Heh [07:16] I just cannot believe Ubuntu is like the only distribution, save for maybe Debian, that doesn't have any means to simply just setup persistant firewall rules. [07:16] !ufw [07:16] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [07:20] <_ruben> psi-jack__: didnt ubottu just prove you wrong on that statement, or is that just me? [07:21] <_ruben> (havent read scrollback) [07:21] ufw does exist, yes, but it's.. Kinda .. Lamish. heh [07:22] <_ruben> if its not good enough for you, create your own alternative .. nobody forces you to do so [07:22] <_ruben> i'd *hate* for my distro to autosave any rules on reboot [07:22] Well, right off the bat, it makes all these rules that has nothing to do with anything I intended. [07:23] <_ruben> for example? (i never used ufw myself) [07:23] http://pastebin.com/m26d28f02 [07:24] That's a LOT of stuff to put into a firewall, out-of-the-box, minus the NAT stuff I put in which was just a couple lines. [07:25] <_ruben> but those rules dont do any harm, and make adding your own customization rather easy [07:25] <_ruben> input policy of drop and forward policy of accept looks odd to me tho [07:26] <_ruben> but like i said, if you dont like it, dont use it [07:27] <_ruben> putting iptables-save > /etc/firewall.conf / iptables-restore < /etc/firewall.conf in a shutdown/boot script isn't really that hard .. all depends on what you need really [07:27] <_ruben> there's no single/simple best for anything [07:28] Heh. I dunno.. Gentoo's method, iptables init script, save and restore your own rules, simple. [07:28] OpenSUSE's method, yast networking and firewall settings. [07:30] _ruben: this is essentially what ufw does, except that it breaks it up into a handful of files [07:30] <_ruben> twb: it's essentially what *any* firewall frontend does :p [07:31] <_ruben> they just differ in the details :) [07:32] _ruben: no, lots of them will call iptables -A on individual rules, which is wrong. [07:42] Hmmm.. nice.. [07:42] wondershaper doesn't even have an init script for it. [07:44] psi-jack__: it probably uses /etc/network/if-up.d/, which it should [07:45] No, no, actually, it doesn't. It doesn't provide anything at all for init, period. [07:47] Great, and firestarter AND guarddog both, after removal, left trash in my init.d and ifup.d [07:48] psi-jack__: report bugs [07:49] psi-jack__: but probably it's because you uninstalled the package, rather than purging it. Only the latter removes config files. [07:50] Yeah, I did apt-remove. I don't see init and ifup/down scripts to be config files, however. [07:51] What's ubuntu's method of managing init.d scripts execution? [07:51] All files in /etc are defined to be config files. [07:51] wondershaper's README.Debian, in /usr/share/doc/wondershaper/, explains how to deploy it. [07:51] So, everything in /etc/init.d are config files? Even though they're executable scripts? :) [07:51] psi-jack__: yes. [07:52] That's a negative. [07:53] Anyway though, what command defines init scripts? [07:53] From a policy perspective everything in /etc is considered config. [07:53] The SysV init style is used by default, per the sysvinit-compat package. That is, symlinks from /etc/rc?.d/???foo to /etc/init.d/foo. [07:56] What I'm looking for is the command to set what should run at what runlevel, that handles delinking and linking the rc.d trees. [07:56] I know Ubuntu has one. [07:56] rcconf is a simple interface. [07:57] update-rc.d was what I was looking for. [07:57] For more control, I believe you are expected to manually move or delete symlinks. You can also use update-rc.d, which is actually intended for package maintainers. [08:16] is pam.d a linux thing or unix thing? [08:19] qiyong: pluggable authentication modules run on most modern UNIX systems [08:19] Boohbah: what was it desgined for originally? [08:20] PAM was first proposed by Sun Microsystems in an Open Software Foundation Request for Comments (RFC) 86.0 dated October 1995. [08:20] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluggable_Authentication_Modules [08:20] qiyong: so i'm guessing Solaris [08:21] As a stand-alone infrastructure, PAM first appeared from an open-source, Linux-PAM, development in Red Hat Linux 3.0.4 in August 1996. [08:23] user logins are always though pam [08:24] hi there...I am using evms and my pv is corrupt, i am usind a array of 3 disk in raid 1 and proc/mdstat shows me it is ok, it is possible to recover my information? [08:27] Boohbah: is it? ^^ [08:36] rosa: If the PV is corrupt, and the raid1 is consistent, it sounds like you're in trouble. [08:37] rosa: I'm assuming the PV is what is mirrored across those three disks? [08:37] rosa: I'm curious: Why three disks in a RAID 1? [08:40] i dont know as well, i take the server like that [08:41] maybe is raid 10? but when i do cat proc/mdstat say raid 1 [08:41] yes, it is [08:42] i really have this 3 disk in raid 1 and one other more (normal) in the pv and now is corrupt [08:44] i dont know if is possible to recover the information just in the raid 1 (3 disks) [08:44] qiyong: on most linux systems, by default, yes [08:46] qiyong: are you having any trouble with PAM authentication? [08:50] what i can do if the pv is corrupt? [08:55] morning all [08:55] My mail server seems to have stopped recieving mail... [08:56] j0nr: why? [09:00] Hmm maybe not me...I don't know. [09:01] my incoming mail gets forwarded to another server which is runnign spamassassin... I think that is having problems...as emails are no longer being marked as spam [09:03] i can ping the server if that means anything [09:09] j0nr: maybe the spamassassin service crashed? [09:10] I am using evms and my pv is corrupt, i am usind a array of 3 disk in raid 1 and proc/mdstat shows me it is ok, it is possible to recover my information? [09:17] mattt: aye I am awaiting to find out [09:18] j0nr: is the server down or something? [09:20] mattt: seems to be back now [09:21] j0nr: *rejoice* :) [09:28] hi..im trying to mount one disk and i got wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdf2, somebody know how i can resolve it? [09:31] rosa: What's on the partition? [09:32] what do you mean? [09:33] there are 2 partition [09:34] I mean, what's on /dev/sdf2? What kind of filesystem are you expecting? [09:34] the first one is boot type [09:35] xfs [09:35] mount -t xfs /dev/sdf2 /mnt/sdf2 [09:35] but i did mount -t xfs ... and still i got the error [09:35] yes i did [09:35] fsck.xfs /mnt/sdf2 ? [09:36] oooh, don't fsck a mounted fs :) [09:36] s/mnt/dev [09:37] is not mounted yest [09:37] yet [09:37] i cant mounted [09:38] when i try to xfs_repair i got attempting to find secondary superblock... [09:54] nijaba: Are you around? [09:55] Daviey: I am [09:55] nijaba: Do you dabble with translations? [09:56] If so, would you mind doing a couple of ubuntu-server-tips, I want to test it :) [09:57] Daviey: I could translate them to french if that is the question [09:57] yeah :) [09:57] Daviey: should I do that from your bzr branch? [09:57] nijaba: I imagine that your French is stronger than mine. :) [09:57] https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-server-tips [09:57] Pour vous connecter à votre VPS en utilisant FTP, vous devez d'abord installer un serveur FTP. [09:58] tech support via google translate :) [09:58] Daviey: I do not know where you are from, but as I am frnech, it should not be too hard :P [09:59] England.. And sadly we are known for not being the best speakers of foreign languages.. We tend to shout English, until the foreign speaker understands. [09:59] :( [10:00] nijaba: I have imported a template into rosetta, so should be possible to do it all via launchpad translate [10:01] Daviey: we'll, according to the "I love lucy" episode I saw when she is visiting paris, only americans believe that people wil understand you better by speaking louder :D [10:04] Daviey: just done a couple to get you started. Will continue a bit later when time permits [10:09] :).. that is great.. it's more an experiment to test at this stage.. [10:10] LP should auto commit translation changes daily to the bzr branch, and as fortune has no notion of native language support.. i need a wrapper script to retrive the correct one. [10:13] I assume "update-motd" runs as a root cronjob.. and on a Ubuntu server the root enviroment $LANG is set to fr.UTF-8 ? [10:14] Daviey: cron runs with the locale set in /etc/default/locale [10:14] IIRC. [10:15] that would make sense... saying that, isn't cron santised to not have any set enviroment variables.. or does it source /etc/default/locale ? [10:15] * Daviey checks [10:18] yup.. $LANG is null in cron. [10:18] no worries. [10:20] hrmf [10:20] some people on the server ml obviously think that since we can have four cheap gigs of memory in a box nowadays, swap is not needed [10:20] "640k should be enough for everyone" [10:21] RoyK: Long term, i'm not satisfied we need a dedicated swap partition, but an elastic swap file. [10:22] RoyK: obviously these people are not familiar with virtualization [10:22] what's the problem? with terabyte drives, why not set aside a few gigs of swap? [10:22] Boohbah: yeah, or even modern memory management [10:23] right, the disk cache [10:23] vm.swappiness = 100 [10:23] earlier swapping, more caching [10:23] get the junk not referenced onto the disk [10:29] Hi I am having problme with the superblock is corruct, how i can recover my HD? [10:39] hello [10:39] i cant boot the ubuntu server 9.04 cd into my computer, it stucks int "boot:" [10:39] what can i do? [10:41] can you give option to grub ? [10:41] (acpi etc..) [10:41] Load default in bios [10:41] etc etc [10:41] th0mz, no. [10:41] and what do you mean default in bios? [10:42] Most of the time you can load default value in Bios [10:42] (to be sure nothing stuck booting) [10:42] do you get the "press escape to see menu" prompt before it starts booting? [10:43] RoyK, no [10:43] how did you partition you disks? [10:43] oh [10:43] the cd won't boot? [10:43] yes [10:43] any usb thing connected ? [10:43] if so, burn a new one [10:44] good idea [10:44] (test it on an other serv) [10:44] nah - just burn a new one on low speed [10:44] is it a dvd ? [10:44] no, cd [10:45] thebloggu: burn a new one on low speed and try again - that is usually the problem [10:45] i mean, that usually solves the problem [10:45] RoyK, th0mz ok, thanks, i'll do that [10:45] "To speak before thinking is like wiping your ass before taking a shit" [10:46] no, to think before speaking, that was [10:46] old swedish saying :þ [10:55] Hi there. I have three network cards in my server (eth0, eth1, eth2). I have a network cable attached to one of the network cards. How can I find out if its eth0, eth1, eth2? Am looking for some tool to show if link is up or not.. [10:56] ethtool [10:56] soren, thanks [10:57] soren, Oh, not installed. And no internet connection to that machine. Any other solution? [10:57] mii-tool? [10:57] mii-diag? [10:57] dmesg| grep eth [10:57] soren, mii-tool. Nice. There it was. eth2 was the connected one :) [10:58] Ah, /sys also exposes it nowadays, apparantly. [10:59] soren: where in /sys? [10:59] Blinkiz: You could have done this: grep . /sys/class/net/carrier [10:59] anyway, mii-tool was nice [10:59] didn't know that [10:59] Err... [10:59] Blinkiz: You could have done this: grep . /sys/class/net/*/carrier [10:59] ..to see the current status of all the interfaces. [11:00] soren, naa, don [11:00] Or just "grep -l 1 /sys/class/net/*/carrier" [11:00] ... /sys seems to contain all sorts of goodness these days .. where'd that thing come from? :) [11:00] soren, yeah, did work. [11:00] * mattt thinks /sys is the new /proc [11:00] damn - even lo is online [11:00] :þ [11:00] You'd be screwed if it wasn't :) [11:01] is there a tool like sysctl that manipulates /sys stuff? [11:12] RoyK, th0mz same problem [11:13] wierd [11:13] try booting another box from the cd [11:13] what arch? [11:13] amd64 or x86? [11:13] x86 [11:13] 32bit? [11:13] yes [11:13] well, try booting up another box [11:14] seems your cdrom may be fscked [11:16] RoyK, works fine [11:16] use another cdrom player [11:16] drive [11:16] something [11:16] the boot cd is very generic and should work on all systems [11:17] I can't remember seeing a system refuse to boot from one [11:17] not ever [11:17] that is, since slackware 3.2 in 1994 or so [11:20] cant boot from the other drive [11:20] thebloggu: well, no idea, really. it really is generic [11:21] it is strange because it starts to load the cd. it says "ISOLINUX .." then stop at "boot:" [11:24] google how to make a usb pen bootup from your current OS - it might work better [11:39] Hello. I'm trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 on a production server, following the ELFUpgrades guide on the community documentation. The upgrade program fails at "http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/dists/gutsy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz" with a 404 Not Found. I can't seem to find the /dists path under /releases when trying to find it with a browser. Anyone got any experience with this? [11:40] EOLUpgrades* [11:47] Fixed it. If anyone cares, it was a faulty entry in sources.list. [11:48] chrisbs: Which version of update-manager-core do you have? [11:52] anyone has implemented openldap with samba to create a domain with windows xp machines? [11:54] chrisbs: Oh, I missed your last comment. Was this an error on your part or was it update-manager doing something wrong? [11:55] It was an error on my part. I didn't set it up, I was just tasked to clean it up. [11:58] acalvo: if LDAP isn't a requirement I think it's pretty easy to set up samba as a domain controller without the ldap backend. I did it awhile back and it seemed fairly easy to get basic functionality. Try googling "linux domain controller xp". Can't remember the exact links. [11:59] chrisbs: LDAP is the backend of the most common services (like mail, web, auth), so it is a must [11:59] chrisbs: I've it almost everythgin setted up [12:00] but it fails when loading roaming profiles, it is not able to find the share directory (but an LDAP user can browse it without problems) [12:01] Aha, okay. My setup was just for fun at home, to see if I could get it working. GL though, been trying to get that + kerberos up, but I've never been able to. Would be awesome with some good documentation on that, if it's even possible. [12:01] chrisbs: thank you for your support! [12:02] I really don't know much about it. But if you haven't, try samba.org. Loads and loads of documentation. [12:04] chrisbs: in fact I've found a good tutorial, which lead me to get everything working in a couple of hours. The sad part is that it does not have any "troubleshooting" guide :( [12:09] acalvo: Aha. Well the documentation at the official samba site is extremely thorough. You should be able to find every answer you need there, although it might take a while. [12:10] Hi guys, i got ubuntu 9.04 server on my proliant, when i watch a youtube vid over it, after about 1 min in the firefox browser closes or disapears from the screen [12:10] whats the problem here? [12:10] garymc: which flash player are you using? [12:10] the latest [12:11] i just downloaded when it said you need flash player [12:11] from adobe or the open-source? (or even HTML5) [12:11] so i chose ubuntu debian version [12:11] from adobe [12:11] try to open it from a terminal and see the output that it gives when it crashes [12:11] how do you do that? [12:11] <_ruben> this sounds more like ubuntu desktop than ubuntu server [12:12] well im running LTSP on the server and im connected via ethernet using a thin client [12:13] garymc: _ruben is right, try to ask it on the official #ubuntu channel [12:13] <_ruben> as stated in the topic .. its not a server specific support question [12:13] i thought this was [12:13] is it not? [12:13] no, this is the main channel for ubuntu-server [12:13] not ubuntu desktop [12:16] good morning all [12:17] <_ruben> g'day [12:17] question: should i install windows manager for ubuntu server [12:17] <_ruben> usualy: no [12:18] <_ruben> and when you do, you might as well install ubuntu desktop instead [12:19] ok next question, how do i specify a static ip address, when i install the ip is automatically configured as 192.168.1.142 [12:20] i'm getting a dhcp3 error so i assume that it's because the dhcp server isn't running [12:23] !dhcp [12:23] dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP [12:24] <_ruben> which error do you get? [12:24] <_ruben> for static ip config, see: man 5 interfaces [12:25] Wow desktop stay stop using flash? [12:25] *say [12:25] initializing dhcp3 status fail [12:26] CopyWriter: What are you trying to accomplish? Do you simply want to set a static ip configuration? [12:27] i'm using a new ubuntu server install, well trying to use it anyway as a fileserver on my office network (it's a hobby really) i got everything installed but when it installs it automatically defaults to ip 192.168.1.142 and it can't be seen by any other computers on the network [12:28] <_ruben> other computers aren't in the 192.168.1.142 range? [12:28] <_ruben> err [12:28] <_ruben> other computers aren't in the 192.168.1.0/24 range? [12:28] it automagically defaults? sounds hard to belive. [12:29] If you don't know how to set the ip in /etc/network/interface check out help.ubuntu.com, click your version > ubuntu server guide > 4. Networking [12:33] thanks guys i'm reading up on the interfaces and the server guide section on networking is next [12:34] if i already have a w2k server on the network acting as a domain controller would that be the cause [12:35] CopyWriter: You might have a DHCP server assigning addresses [12:35] i can take the w2k machine out back and rough it up a bit [12:35] yes it acts as a dhcp server [12:35] shucks didn't think about that before [12:36] It's possible that's giving it the unexpected address, however if you configure your adapter as static in /etc/network/interfaces it'll use the address you specify. [12:37] Make sure you use an otherwise unused address though or your sys admin might get a touch upset with the ip conflict. [12:38] i'm the guy that owns the business, the system admin has been getting me upset since november [12:38] :) [12:38] i just want the stuff to work, and i don't think that microsoft products can do what i want, i got too much downtime with viruses [12:39] why don't you just check your dhcp and alter that. [12:40] CopyWriter: A Microsoft environment needn't be a huge problem if its configured correctly. [12:40] I'm gonna get shot now aren't I. [12:44] :) [12:45] i gave microsoft a fair chance for the last 14 years [12:46] even had their affiliates a local support company setup everything everytime i migrated [12:46] time to give linux a try [12:47] i installed ubuntu on the accountants pc's two weeks ago and nothing's complained that i don't know what i did i plugged in a flash drive and something popped up and now my pc is slow again [12:49] and two months ago we got a trainee [12:49] hi [12:50] CopyWriter: Don't get me wrong I'm not saying don't try linux just that both will cause you issues if not configured correctly. [12:50] who was given the admin password, and he's been in the tech room checking email [12:50] so microsoft isn't entirely to blame [12:50] i entered "expert mode" at the installer menu to add "vga=771" to the kernel parameters. but after selecting "install ubuntu server" im stuck with some kind of expert installer mode. how do i start the guided default installation process? [12:50] it's him for being mcp certified :O [12:51] CopyWriter: why give a trainee the admin password? [13:00] hello all [13:00] please how to setup a PXE boot server using ubuntu server? [13:00] thank for any help [13:01] metalfan__: restart the installation [13:02] pmatulis, thx [13:02] metalfan__: you can add the vga option afterwards [13:03] after what? [13:04] im not stupid, i dont try to get a better picture here or something. i get an "out of range" error from my monitor without the vga option [13:04] i need it [13:05] metalfan__: don't get angry [13:05] sry [13:05] metalfan__: you didn't explain that before [13:06] yes, you probably didnt read that yesterday [13:06] metalfan__: no [13:06] its just that im stuck with this crap for some time now [13:07] metalfan__: you can add kernel boot options. hit F6 at the initial install menu IIRC [13:07] yes, there i choosed expert. added vga=771 to the command line and started the installation [13:08] but now im stuck in some kind of expert installation mode where i have to choose the right install parts [13:08] i just need vga=771 on the kernel params, i want to start a normal inst now [13:09] any PXE boot server? [13:09] DelphiWorld, did you try "ubuntu pxe server" on google? [13:10] i want to mount a ISO image and let network users boot from it [13:10] metalfan__: i'm searching, and iasking here mayb get help from here anf google [13:11] ive done pxe, but i dont know about "mounting an iso and letting users boot from it" sry [13:11] metalfan__: me i have a ubuntu server, no desktop but i want users to use a desktop OS [13:11] metalfan__: i don't recall F6 being called 'expert' [13:12] expert is a menu point from f6 [13:12] f6 is probably adanced [13:12] metalfan__: - 'mounting an iso is rather hard ... iv tryed (under windows server - but that doesn't matter to mutch... [13:12] wasn't me was the tech department, most likely a lazy7 tech who wasn't on lacation [13:13] metalfan__: is it different for you than what's given here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [13:13] metalfan__: got it (PXE no ISO): http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/ubuntu_hardy_pxe_notes.html [13:14] if your trying to boot anything its way easier to - un-iso something, and try initiating the Bootloader directly ... [13:15] pmatulis, thx. now i understand. i thought expert mode enabled the boot options...but f6 does that [13:15] ichat: i'm trying to boot any OS using ubuntu PXE Server from my netbook [13:19] ichat: daemontools mounts iso's quite well under windows [13:20] Boohbah: but i want to mount it in ubuntu no in windows [13:20] mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/disk [13:21] Boohbah: thanks, but what's the relation to PXE boot server? how i can let users boot from it using PXE? [13:23] DelphiWorld: i've never used PXE but looking at your link it looks like you should pass the mounted filesystem as the root= option in grub config [13:23] Boohbah: yes, this is a good idi [13:25] i guess that would be the tftpboot loader and not grub [13:27] Boohbah: yes tftp boot loader [13:34] DelphiWorld: - you can even boot that other OS from linux pxe ... but you'd have to create a bootdisk that - enables you to run ntldr - witch is a bit tricky-er than loading the kernel [13:36] ichat: ntldr? [13:37] the NT bootloader [13:37] for windows [13:37] Boohbah: but why ntldr? i don't need windows actualy [13:37] i'm trying: [13:37] apt-get install netkit-inetd tftpd-hpa dhcp3-server lftp [13:37] but don't work [13:37] lol - like i said you can boot any bootloader [13:38] unable to install netkit-inetd [13:39] !info netkit-inetd [13:39] Package netkit-inetd does not exist in jaunty [13:39] !info netkit-inetd intrepid [13:39] Package netkit-inetd does not exist in intrepid [13:39] DelphiWorld: what version of ubuntu do you have? [13:40] ubuntu server 8.10 [13:43] http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/netkit-inetd [13:45] Boohbah: what is this? [13:47] btw i setup ubuntu-server (first time) - are there any recomended packages to be able to manager samba server and vsftpd from a (web)-GUI [13:47] ichat: i think EBox [13:47] Boohbah: ok is installing thanks [13:48] aptitude install inetutils-inetd [13:48] is Ebox manageable in terms of removing parts that you dont need (for example - the part where you'd manager mailservers or webservers or others you dont need [13:49] ichat: yes i think is modulare, but kype asking i'm not sur [13:50] su aptitude update && su aptitude install ebox ????? [13:51] ichat: aptitude update and aptitude install ebox [13:56] Daviey: Translation completed [13:56] it tells it cant update the list file :S [13:57] ichat: you must use sudo [13:57] sorry - its sudo - not su ? [13:58] ichat: sudo su [13:58] ichat: and enter your password [14:02] nijaba: thanks! [14:05] ichat: re [14:05] ebox installed :S [14:05] i need this: [14:06] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/. [14:06] a netboot image [14:06] http://server - it works - [14:06] but error404 [14:07] lftp -c "open http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/installer-i386/current/images/; mirror netboot/" [14:08]
