| jMCg | How can a package have configs for cron or logrotate but not depend on those? | 00:17 |
| SpamapS | jMCg: its just dropping them.. it works just fine without them | 00:17 |

| glen1 | hey | 00:19 |
| glen1 | when downloading from a server, does it take up much processing power or ram? | 00:20 |
| SpamapS | no | 00:23 |
| SpamapS | glen1: it shouldn't anyway | 00:23 |
| glen1 | could I max out the bandwidth(say 100mbit) and not have it max out the cpu? | 00:24 |
| * RoAkSoAx ends his day | 00:24 | |
| JanC | glen1: that depends on things like the CPU type and the way storage is attached | 00:25 |
| glen1 | ah, just curious bout that thanks SpamapS and JanC | 00:25 |
| JanC | if your server is a Commodore 64, it will max out the CPU long before you get to 100 Mbit/s ;) | 00:26 |
| JanC | with most modern hardware it shouldn't be an issue though | 00:26 |
| glen1 | haha | 00:26 |
| kellnola_ | these day that depends on the ethernet driver mostly. shitty cards will use more CPU | 00:36 |
| kellnola_ | look through the kernel sources and find out which drivers have the most curse words, and avoid them :) | 00:36 |
| kaushal | Hi | 00:54 |
| glen1 | yo | 00:54 |

| kaushal | I mean which date | 00:55 |
| kaushal | on desktop i find installer.log | 00:55 |
| kaushal | under /var/log | 00:55 |
| kaushal | i dont find anything on server | 00:55 |
| kaushal | glen1: hi | 00:55 |

| SpaceBass | it appears do-distro-upgrade is smart enough to use byoubu - is that the case? history in the byoubu shell shows it as finishing successfully | 01:31 |
| JanC | SpaceBass: you should always use screen or byobu when doing anything system-changing remotely anyway :P | 01:37 |

| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 05:41 |
| twb | juzzy_: for "beta" to "release" it is probably just applying package updates | 05:42 |
| juzzy_ | twb, yes, i hoped so, but i still see gnome 2.3x | 05:42 |
| elb0w_ | twb: it was correct, im just half asleep | 05:43 |
| twb | 11.04 ships with gnome 2.30. | 05:43 |
| elb0w_ | I thought its shipping with unity? | 05:43 |
| twb | I wouldn't know about that, GUIs are off-topic for -server | 05:44 |
| twb | I'm just quoting the version of the "gnome" package | 05:44 |
| elb0w_ | yeah pretty sure they are going unity now, gnome3 wont be offered by default | 05:45 |
| elb0w_ | need to add a ppa | 05:45 |
| juzzy_ | ahh | 05:45 |
| juzzy_ | where might i find said gnome 3.0 ppa? | 05:45 |
| elb0w_ | you need 11.04 | 05:46 |
| elb0w_ | ask in #ubuntu+1 | 05:46 |

| grincheux | hi there | 08:13 |
| grincheux | i installed a 10.04 lts server a few days ago and i'm blocked with ethernet realtek chipset card, reading lot of faqs doing a lot of googleling but still blocked | 08:15 |
| grincheux | :/ | 08:15 |
| smw | grincheux, define "blocked" | 08:18 |
| grincheux | in fact lspci -nn or -vvv doesn't show nothing about the card | 08:19 |
| grincheux | and i tried to compile the r8168 module instead of the r8169 wich is present in the distro but doesn't work at all | 08:19 |
| smw | grincheux, I know nothing about realtek drivers, but maybe the restricted drivers manager will have it. | 08:19 |
| grincheux | smw i'll see about it | 08:20 |
| smw | grincheux, damn, it looks like the still have not made a cli frontend to jockey | 08:20 |
| smw | nm, jockey-text | 08:21 |
| smw | grincheux, ^ | 08:21 |
| grincheux | :/ | 08:21 |
| smw | grincheux, didn't work? | 08:21 |
| grincheux | sorry what dio u mean by jockey-test ? | 08:21 |
| grincheux | -dio+do | 08:22 |
| smw | grincheux, run the command sudo jockey-text | 08:22 |
| smw | grincheux, I am assuming you have no gui btw | 08:22 |
| grincheux | no have not | 08:22 |
| smw | grincheux, did it work? | 08:23 |
| grincheux | btw i tried also debian squeeze and sid and nothing to do to make this damned card working | 08:23 |
| grincheux | command not found | 08:24 |
| smw | grincheux, does it tell you the package to install? | 08:24 |
| smw | grincheux, maybe jockey-common... | 08:24 |
| grincheux | same not found | 08:25 |
| smw | grincheux, sudo apt-get install jockey-common | 08:27 |
| smw | then run jockey-text | 08:27 |
| smw | grincheux, ubuntu should have told you the package to look in | 08:27 |
| grincheux | smw, ok i'll | 08:27 |
| smw | grincheux, run sudo jockey-text. Sudo is so hard to remember ;-) | 08:27 |
| grincheux | hehe ure right about it | 08:28 |
| grincheux | :-) | 08:28 |
| smw | grincheux, did it work? | 08:32 |
| smw | grincheux, damn... it just occurred to me that jockey uses internet... | 08:33 |
| grincheux | yep and i have not internet on the box so it's a little bit tricky to do u know | 08:48 |
| smw | grincheux, yep. I don't think it will be easy... buy a new nic | 08:55 |
| smw | grincheux, they are 20 bucks and would save you alot of pain | 08:55 |
| grincheux | smw yep but i only have pci express slots do u know a net card wich is fine in this kind of slots ? | 09:07 |

| remix_tj | Pumpkin-: i did a test with dhcpd-test | 13:23 |
| remix_tj | *server | 13:23 |
| remix_tj | and was working | 13:23 |
| Pumpkin- | okay, sounds good. I can see a bunch of potential packages, but if good old isc-dhcpd will do it, that will be good. | 13:24 |
| twb | Note that DHCPv6 is only needed for additional info -- discovering an IP and available routes is all automatic in IPv6 land | 13:29 |
| Pumpkin- | twb: yeah, I specifically don't want to use SLAAC for some crazy requirements about logging things. | 13:32 |
| twb | Oh, I see | 13:33 |
| twb | I misread you as saying "DHCPv6 over SLAAC" as in "I have SLAAC and I want to run DHCPv6 on top of it" | 13:33 |
| twb | ITYM "instead of" or "in preference to" | 13:33 |
| twb | If you just have logging requirements, you could always have something like tcpdump log the SLAAC traffic | 13:34 |

| Pumpkin- | I've just done a fresh 11.04 server install, and I'm having some trouble getting it to output a display my monitor will actually display. I'd be more than happy with just a 80x25 text display, but I can't even stop the grub2 boot process with shift to even think about setting some boot flags | 18:48 |
| SpamapS | Pumpkin-: you should see grub without pressing shift for 3 seconds | 18:52 |
| Pumpkin- | yeah, this is bizzaro, but I think grub is setting some video mode the monitor isn't liking | 18:54 |
| savid | Can anyone point me to a guide on setting up additional interfaces on ubuntu server? My server has another IP available, but I'm responsible for configuring the interface. | 18:54 |
| Pumpkin- | if I just leave it long enough, it boots and gives me a nice old 80x25 console | 18:54 |
| SpamapS | Pumpkin-: there's a setting to make sure grub is text only.. | 18:55 |
| SpamapS | Pumpkin-: try /etc/default/grub GRUB_TERMINAL=console | 18:56 |
| Pumpkin- | cheers, giving that a shot now | 18:56 |

| arrrghhh | hey all, anyone mind offering some advice on LVM? i'd like to set it up, but i obviously want to backup my data - which i'll need to get a new hard disk to backup all my data. | 20:14 |
| pmatulis | how do i get a more verbose log/output of a package install? is there a proper way (not using strace) to do that? | 20:15 |
| pmatulis | arrrghhh: what is your question? | 20:28 |
| arrrghhh | well i assume i have to format to switch to lvm | 20:28 |
| arrrghhh | so i need to buy a new hard disk to back everything up | 20:28 |
| arrrghhh | then do i add LVM to the other disks, move the data, and then add the new hard disk into LVM? | 20:29 |
| arrrghhh | i've never used it before, but i've done a lot of reading so i have basic concepts | 20:29 |
| pmatulis | arrrghhh: you need to start over if you want to use LVM on existing partitions | 20:29 |
| arrrghhh | my 'main'/boot disk i don't think i will add lvm to | 20:29 |
| arrrghhh | only the 'data' disks | 20:30 |
| arrrghhh | and i understand the existing partitions need to go. so i need to buy another hdd, backup everything to the new hdd | 20:30 |
| arrrghhh | then apply lvm to the old disks | 20:30 |
| pmatulis | arrrghhh: add hard drive, put on lvm, transfer data | 20:30 |
| arrrghhh | move data again | 20:30 |
| arrrghhh | add new disk using lvm ? | 20:30 |
| pmatulis | of course, that's what you want right? | 20:31 |
| arrrghhh | it also seems like a good idea to leave some raw/unpartitioned space so i can expand the sections later | 20:31 |
| arrrghhh | well if i could add lvm without backing up data that would be ideal | 20:31 |
| pmatulis | there you go | 20:31 |
| arrrghhh | but it seems necessary step | 20:31 |
| arrrghhh | no? | 20:31 |
| pmatulis | arrrghhh: add hard drive, put on lvm, transfer data | 20:31 |
| arrrghhh | oh start new hdd with lvm | 20:31 |
| arrrghhh | backup data | 20:31 |
| arrrghhh | to lvm disk | 20:32 |
| arrrghhh | then format old disks and add them to lvm | 20:32 |
| pmatulis | right | 20:32 |
| arrrghhh | ah ha, that will be much easier. | 20:32 |
| arrrghhh | either way, i'm buying a new hard disk tho yea? | 20:32 |
| pdg1 | i'm having a heck of a time finding information on this. are ports closed on ubuntu server? I'm used to the desktop edition :p | 20:33 |
| arrrghhh | i don't have enough disk space to backup all my data. | 20:33 |
| arrrghhh | pdg1, yes | 20:33 |
| arrrghhh | no ports are open by default | 20:33 |
| arrrghhh | no services are listening by default | 20:33 |
| arrrghhh | same on desktop edition | 20:33 |
| pdg1 | alright | 20:33 |
| pdg1 | thanks :) | 20:33 |
| arrrghhh | np | 20:34 |
| arrrghhh | if you're going to run a service like apache pdg1 | 20:34 |
| arrrghhh | or any service really, might want to use a firewall. ufw makes iptables easy. | 20:34 |
| pdg1 | ufw? | 20:34 |
| pdg1 | ultimate fire wall? | 20:34 |
| arrrghhh | lol | 20:34 |
| arrrghhh | uncomplicated | 20:34 |
| pmatulis | !ufw | 20:34 |
| ubottu | 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 | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 20:34 |
| arrrghhh | but you can think ultimate, that works. | 20:34 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: howdy! Is it possible to specify the mirror to the archive to use when using the NQA preseed? | 20:34 |
| arrrghhh | ah, i forget about the bang commands :P | 20:35 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: hmm, not really; it's totally static | 20:35 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: we need to generate the NQA preseed | 20:35 |
| pdg1 | mama pajama... that's awesome :) | 20:35 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: right, but in the preseed we would be able to specify what mirror to use if we generate it, right? | 20:36 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: oh, yeah, absolutely | 20:36 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: so kinda like: import mini.iso, enable reposync by debmirroring, and then generate the preseed to point to the reposync created by cobbler... | 20:36 |
| RoAkSoAx | s/to the reposync/mirror/ | 20:37 |
| arrrghhh | pmatulis, thx for the help. i'm a little nervous about the process, but i have a lot more reading to do before i attempt it ;) | 20:43 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: right | 20:44 |
| andriijas | why is there both python2.6 and python2.7 in natty? | 21:30 |
| lifeless | andriijas: because its nice for users to be able to upgrade their local scripts separately from the os upgrade | 21:36 |
| andriijas | as far as i know 2.7 is totally backwards compatible with 2.6, except that it adds deprecation warnings to 3.x stuff | 21:40 |
| coco | is this the right channel for asking about setting up an irc server | 21:41 |

| bluethundr | hello.. I am trying to cat /etc/lsb-release to find the version of this old ubuntu server, but that file doesn't exist. any guesses as to what other file I can look in for clue as to release version? | 22:07 |
| bluethundr | I suspect it's because this machine is too old | 22:07 |
| alamar | sources.list? | 22:10 |
| bluethundr | alamar, thanks I'll have a look | 22:12 |

| quentusrex | I'm running into an issue on an Ubuntu KVM server install where the the qcow2 image is created, but the guest is not defined in libvirt. | 23:10 |
| quentusrex | I'm running vmbuilder, and I don't see any errors with the script running with the --debug flag. | 23:10 |
| quentusrex | I have this issue reproduced with two servers, | 23:10 |
| quentusrex | but I have other servers working with the same provision script. | 23:11 |
| hallyn | quentusrex: you're using --libvirt flag or whatever it is? | 23:12 |
| hypetech | what's a good tool for taking a full image of an ubuntu server install and restoring it to a fresh hard drive? | 23:12 |
| _SHuN_ | hypetech: dd | 23:13 |
| quentusrex | hallyn, yes, I believe so. | 23:13 |
| quentusrex | --libvirt qemu:///system | 23:14 |
| quentusrex | and virsh --list all works fine. | 23:14 |
| hypetech | _SHuN_: how can you restore a DD image on a blank drive? | 23:15 |
| Patrickdk | the same way you made a dd image :) | 23:15 |
| hallyn | quentusrex: best to file a bug against vmbuilder. show full cmdline and virsh list --all results before/after. | 23:15 |
| _SHuN_ | hypetech: dd if=image of=destination | 23:15 |
| hypetech | _SHuN_: hmm, could I DD to/from a network location from a live CD? | 23:17 |
| compdoc | I notice in a fresh install of natty, that services like acpid and irqbalance are not set to run. Are these not needed anymore? I intend to use the box as a qemu-KVM server | 23:19 |
| _SHuN_ | hypetech: i believe that's possible through a ssh pipe | 23:19 |
| hypetech | _SHuN_: alright, thanks | 23:20 |
| _SHuN_ | hypetech: something like that... ssh user@hostname dd if=image | dd of=destination | 23:22 |
| SpaceBass | hey folks | 23:28 |
| SpaceBass | have a server box that has a failed upgrade to 11.04 - trying to recover using a recovery CD. I did a series of apt-get -f and dpkg --configure -a .... that made some progress, however it appears to have reached the end. dpgk --configure -a keeps failing | 23:29 |
| SpaceBass | can I force a re-application of the upgrade? | 23:29 |
| nimrod10 | SpaceBass, just out of curiosity which version was it previously on your server ? | 23:57 |
| hypetech | Any solutions to keystroke lag over SSH to a server with minimal load and a low latency traceroute? | 23:58 |
