[00:02] dominicdinada: virbr0 is the default name used by libvirt for bridging network from virtual machines AFAIK [00:03] JanC: ok and hmm I got the network back up .... just gonna work on bridging correctly noe [00:03] now* [00:04] um how do i download server kernel for regular ubuntu 32bit 10.04 [00:05] can someone help me [00:07] um how do i download server kernel for regular ubuntu 32bit 10.04 [00:07] !lucid [00:07] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 [00:07] mininessie: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso [00:08] I think the question being asked is how to install / use the server version of the kernel on a previous (desktop) install? [00:08] aptitude has an option "-d" to download only [00:12] to reinstall iptables sudo aptitude reinstall iptables [00:12] ? [00:12] mininessie: There isn't an i386 server kernel anymore. Use generic. [00:12] ziesemer_: correct [00:13] ScottK: okay i just want the best kernel type [00:13] Orville Reddenboker type ? =) [00:15] mininessie: install linux-server [00:16] mininessie: but best kernel might depend on what you want of your system [00:16] JanC: well i'm running mac i want the best graphics sound and battery life [00:17] Probably not on a server though [00:17] mininessie: that doesn't sound like a server [00:18] JanC: which one does it sound like [00:18] well, I have no servers witrh graphics, sound or a battery really ;) [00:29] my servers have batteries, but not internally [00:29] no graphics, no sound [00:29] the server kernel is not going to be tuned for the best performance of those things [00:51] !ufw [00:51] 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/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [00:52] !bridge [00:53] someone please kill me now :( [00:55] !ebox [00:55] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [01:22] any known issues with bridging of a KVM host controlled by libvirt on 9.10 server? [01:23] I have a virtual machine (in VirtualBox) that I installed lucid (desktop) into. I then installed linux-image-virtual , which is apparently based on server - and apparently even uses the same headers. However, after rebooting, I get "Giving up waiting for a root device", and it drops to a BusyBox root shell. [01:24] i can get to the host from the guest via the bridge but i can't seem to get out any further than that [01:24] it's had me for 3 days [01:24] It notes that /dev/disk/by-uuid/... doesn't exist. Sure enough, I have /dev/disk/by-path, but I don't even have a by-uuid folder. Rebooting using the old generic kernel works just fine. Ideas? [01:25] i just installed lucid server with the os on a raid1 with lvm and it will not boot. I am getting the error no init found abda busybox prompt [01:27] can anyone help with this? [01:28] Hello, all, I had a question about partitioning. I have a few internal HDDs that I want to set up as samba shares that are going to contain media. I was wondering where I should mount them (I'm installing Ubuntu-server now). [01:29] gauravk, under /media seems to be the general ubuntu convention. [01:29] traditionally it would have been under /mnt/ [01:30] but this is 2010 - so /media/ it is. [01:30] Okay, sounds good, thanks for the help. [01:31] np. [01:46] ziesemer_: My suggestion would be use the kernel that works. [01:46] hi [01:46] ScottK: Yeah - but I want to get it working / know why. :-) It's just a trivial VM, so even if I loose it - no big deal. [01:47] I did find that there is not even a /dev/sd0 or /dev/hd0 - so thinking a driver issue. [01:47] No idea. Sorry. [01:47] Maybe linux-image-virtual has too few drivers. :-) [01:48] I'll try linux-image-server just for kicks. [01:48] I get this http://fpaste.org/cyhT/ on the console of Ubuntu Linux 8.04 server [01:48] Please suggest [01:48] I did some troubleshooting by replacing the RAM with the new ones [01:48] didnot help [01:48] Any clue ?

[03:01] hi, I'm actually using xubuntu, but the box has no monitor.. I'd like to get the latest kernel update, but apt-get upgrade doesn't do it. Can anyone lend me a hand? [03:01] datz, use apt-get dist-upgrade [03:01] 'upgrade' will not install new packages or remove old ones, only upgrade in place [03:02] updating your kernel requires the installation of new packages [03:02] which dist-upgrade will do [03:02] ah... humm.. that will not move me from say.. 9.10 to 10.04 though, will it? [03:03] I _think_ you need do-release-upgrade for that to happen. [03:04] ok, I'll try dist-upgrade and see what happens.. thanks guys [03:04] yes, dist-upgrade will not do a release upgrade [03:05] thanks, running it now === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [03:17] can someone lend a quick hand...im trying to report an attack on my site to a company, and i want to parse all the lines from my auth.log that contain a certain ip address so i can easily paste it into a txt file...

[04:22] I don't know much about samba, so that's probably all the help I can give you. [04:23] thanks ScottK [04:59] Hi, is there some reason that upgrading from hardy server to lucid server isn't working? "sudo do-release-upgrade" says "no new release found" when I run it on an 8.04.3 box [04:59] IIRC, you need to update first [04:59] That's already been done; it's fully up-to-date [04:59] and 8.04.3 is not the latest 8.04 [05:00] Oh, sorry, I typed the version wrong; it is 8.04.4 [05:00] ok [05:00] in that case, I'm not really sure [05:00] I haven't tried any yet myself [05:00] and I don't know what it uses to determine if there are new releases [05:00] yeah, it's as if lucid wasn't an LTS [05:00] other than running sudo apt-get update to get the latest lists [05:02] Interestingly enough, if I 'sudo do-release-upgrade -d' it finds lucid. But it shouldn't require the -d, correct? [05:03] mbt: The recommendation for hardy to lucid upgrades is to wait for 10.04.1, so it's not being offered as a regular upgrade yet. [05:03] What you are seeing is what is currently correct. [05:04] ScottK: Oh, okay. I thought the -d was for development [05:04] It is. [05:04] mbt, you need to edit the "/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades" [05:04] Continuing to use it this way is overloading it slightly, but it has the right effect. [05:04] and set Prompt=normal [05:04] jturek: No. He doesn't. [05:04] Color me confused. :-) I will just use the -d switch then. [05:05] Thanks much! [05:05] mbt: Please be sure to file bugs on any upgrade issues you see. [05:05] if he installed desktop instead of server when he started... [05:05] ScottK: No problem. [05:06] ScottK, sorry, its what I had to do to go from a LTS release to another release [05:06] my release-upgrades file was set to "none" [05:06] sudo do-release-upgrade -d [05:08] whats the best ubuntu howto doc to setup a firewall so i call allow machines in the network surf out to the net? [05:09] Anyone know if do-release-upgrade logs all of its output somewhere? [05:09] /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log and /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log [05:12] if anyone has any idea I am trying to boot a raid1 array in lucid and it keeps failing claiming it cannot find /dev/md0 [05:12] it can find /dev/md1 but not /dev/md0 for some strange reason [05:23] should i use ufw? [05:24] yaboo: For a firewall, that's the standard one for Ubuntu. [05:29] lol [05:30] * ScottK can't say much more than that. I've got my own iptables scripts that work for me, but that I wouldn't recommend for anyone else. [05:30] ScottK: My hostname is listed as blah-trvue0uir when i check nslookup but I cant seem to find out where it is stored :/ /etc/hostname looks correct [05:31] ScottK: i was laughing if he enabled the firewall on and all of a sudden lost all outbound traffic [05:31] I'd try sudo grep -r blah-trvue0uir /etc/* [05:32] can I use a wildcard search in for the name because it is blah- but then random characters maybe I was tired when I wiped this machine the last name [05:33] Yes. [05:33] But I need to go check laundry and pack. [05:33] tc/alternatives/gconftool matches [05:37] welcome back yaboo [05:37] dominicdinada: hoping after this reboot ufw works [05:38] sudo ufw enable ? [05:38] sudo ufw allow http [05:38] etc [05:38] yep done thats, need to get masquerading done [05:39] Heh it should work! you just gotta configure it right... still learning it myself [05:43] !gconf [05:48] ok, seems ufw works with masquerade [06:20] is there a mailing list of ubuntu kernel ? [06:21] Check lists.ubuntu.com. [06:26] can't believe samba is bjorked on ubuntu, might compile my own version [06:44] ScottK: My upgrade went okay. The only bumps were on some /etc/init.d things that I customized that don't exist there anymore, so I had to port the changes to the upstart jobs [06:50] where's the Apache mod_security thing located at? what package(s) [07:17] CaptainTrek: mod-security appears to be in the repos (for karmic anyway).
