My chat client closed... ;) [09:05] But, you might want to look at the papersize defined in your printer [09:05] No clue, otherwise [09:05] lionel: Thanks, i'll try to be patient than :) [09:06] lionel: Is there a statuspage somewhere? [09:09] hi [09:10] hi [09:11] i can't install ubuntu server on a fresh new machine : i burnt the cd, booted on it, but when I reach the installater main screen, the "ENTER" key has no effect : nothing happens, no message, no error, no tip, no clue... [09:11] zedalaye, which version are you trying to install? [09:12] ubuntu server 9.10 [09:12] x64 [09:12] USB or PS2 keyboard? [09:12] usb [09:13] the keyboard works : i can go down on the menu, enter F1/F2..., i even can "boot on primary disk" [09:13] but no installation entry works [09:14] i will try with a ps2 keyboard [09:15] zedalaye, that's surprising. Can you switch to console 2 once in the installer (Ctrl + Alt + F2)? [09:15] nope [09:16] Is USB enabled in your bios? [09:17] Another question - Updated from Jaunty Server to Karmic Server using do-release-upgrade and everything seems to be fine except for my apache2 configuration. [09:17] I get a 404 on / - Not found error [09:18] Any ideas to fix it before I re-install? Or at least a guide to which file to start with... [09:19] martinjh99, did you check the logs? To know which file apache is trying to display? [09:19] martinjh99: /etc/apache2/ [09:19] martinjh99: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled [09:20] martinjh99: No need to re-install anything [09:20] Jeeves_ : that don't work with a PS/2 keyboard [09:22] zedalaye, it may worth to open a bug and/or join #ubuntu-installer for debugging instructions [09:22] zedalaye, considering the day, not a lot of people may be around [09:23] Jeeves - just tried accessing server from netbook and nothing is coming up in access.log [09:24] but there are entries in error.log saying it can't find /htdocs so I now know where to look to fix it... [09:25] <_ruben> talk about not a lot of ppl being around .. there's about 10 ppl here at work, instead of the usual ~100 :) [09:26] Which config file would Document root be under? [09:26] martinjh99: I guess you need to set documentroot in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default [09:26] (or so) [09:27] /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default [09:29] I may have found what happens [09:29] http://martinjh.homelinux.com/~martin/000-default - Thats the file that it is linked to [09:29] the MD5 Checksum of the downloaded ISO do not match [09:29] I will check that first [09:30] martinjh99: DocumentRoot /var/www [09:30] That line needs fixing [09:30] That's correct. [09:30] What's correct? [09:31] That Document Root [09:31] That is the coorect document root [09:31] ok, than you have no issues :) [09:33] I am getting this error when I start Apache: http://martinjh.homelinux.com/~martin/error which may have something to do with it. Anyone got an example file I can C&P...? [09:41] <_ruben> you want VirtualHost, not Host [09:42] Indeed [09:46] Actually I found a forum post which has the orignal default setting file contents - cut and pasted that in and now fixing up the ServerName problem - Should be fine in a minute or two... [09:48] Fixed!! Thanks guys for the help there!

[11:44] Jeeves_: thanks. I need automation of this process, It's not a matter of single server. [11:49] can I install a minimalist gnome environment over ubuntu server ? [11:50] zedalaye: it is possible to install gnome over ubuntu-server but if it is minimal i would not say it [11:53] gnome-core and gdm can be installed for 590Mb, "full" gnome : 1.7Gb [11:54] this is minimalist enough for a first try since xorg has to be installed too [11:55] yes in this case this is a good size. i have done this alleardy for about 3 years on a ubuntu server and it worked very easy.. [12:02] <_ruben> beric: then run a systemwide find and replace of the old name with the new name (simple one-liner) [12:03] <_ruben> zedalaye: by installing gnome/X, you'll turn your -server into a -desktop, support-wise === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [12:13] beric: Look into cfengine [12:14] interesting, thanks.

[12:39] <_ruben> yes [12:39] <_ruben> and you'd need debhelper as a builddep indeed (possibly even a versioned dependency) [12:46] Also, how can i build it for all ubuntu versions? [12:46] Should I use 'all' in changelog, instead of 'karmic'? [12:54] <_ruben> Jeeves_: afaik, you'd have to build for each version seperately :( [12:55] <_ruben> unless the package is binary compatible on all versions, and you wont be pushing it to any archive to relies on that field [12:57] It's only shell scripts [14:49] Can anyone think of a command to adjust the permissions on all subdirectories of /foo/ ?
