| kiichiro | nvm think I found it, sorry not used to this, I just recently switched away even from the evil windows world and still learning basic terminal, sorry. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| kiichiro | ya I might need help actually. | 00:01 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | kiichiro: it might not work then of course. | 00:05 |
| kiichiro | figures | 00:12 |
| kiichiro | the server found it but don't know how to cd into it | 00:18 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | well you'd have to ssh into it or something | 00:19 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | which is sort of an issue | 00:19 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | because it'd need its own IP on your local net or something | 00:19 |
| kiichiro | since it's only a virtual box | 00:19 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | mhm | 00:19 |
| kiichiro | I set up a bridged connection | 00:19 |
| kiichiro | reason I want to test all of this now in a virtual box is to keep downtime to a minimum | 00:20 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | ahh | 00:23 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | well if all you want to do is run a minecraft server | 00:23 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | you can run that from a non-server setup | 00:23 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | even in windows | 00:23 |
| kiichiro | I want to have it 100% dedicated | 00:24 |
| kiichiro | nothing to cause lag, nothing to risk crashing the server | 00:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | there's always that risk | 00:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | regardless of how you set stuff up | 00:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | heck, I have a minecraft server right now | 00:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | 50 slots | 00:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | all 50 are full | 00:24 |
| kiichiro | thus why I'm switching to a server OS to reduce chance | 00:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | its eating up 99.8% of the RAM on a box | 00:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | and i'm on a server os | 00:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | even in server operating systems | 00:25 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | ***you always run the risk that it will crash, even if you are only running 3 things*** | 00:25 |
| kiichiro | I understand that it can still crash | 00:25 |
| kiichiro | but switching to an os server reduces it greatly, doesn't prevent, just reduces. | 00:26 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | state your source | 00:26 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | i've run a linux server off of a GUI setup of ubuntu desktop edition | 00:26 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | for two years before the drive wore out | 00:26 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | physically | 00:26 |
| kiichiro | I'm running a bukkit server atm with it | 00:26 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | and i still do it :P | 00:26 |
| kiichiro | I'm running it via terminal atm. I'd just feel better with it with 0 other things besides the server. I don't even want the gui to slow it any. | 00:27 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | well here's the thing | 00:32 |
| kiichiro | getting the feeling you are trying to talk me out of switching to a server os just for minecraft server | 00:32 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | there's always sub processes running alongside minecraft | 00:32 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | take for instance my server which runs 3 minecraft servers | 00:32 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | its got about 65 other processes that i dont even use | 00:32 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | 50% of those i dont even know wth they do | 00:32 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | but the system remains stable | 00:32 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | and that's a dedicated box, dedicated OS for server stuff, CLI only. | 00:33 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | take my other server here | 00:33 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | this one runs 1 minecraft server, and IRCD, multiple web sites, and a buncha other crap (including a mail server) | 00:33 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | stable | 00:33 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | even with 250 processes sharing a quad core based system | 00:33 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | (its just a desktop box with the GUI operating installed and then the server packages) | 00:34 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | so you don't need to switch to a dedicated server OS to run a minecraft server | 00:34 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | if that's ALL you need to run, then you're better off using some system you already have | 00:34 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | if you need another, say, 5 minecraft servers, eradicating the GUI may be a good idea | 00:34 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | but you're still going to have all the base packages and tools that come with ubuntu server | 00:35 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | which will still eat up resources | 00:35 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | so its irrelevant really whether you want to run the minecraft server or not. especially on linux | 00:35 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | because even in a GUI environment, you load up a terminal and type java -args ./minecraft_server.jar | 00:35 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | and it STILL works | 00:35 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | its not worth switching over to a server OS just to run one item | 00:36 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | unless of course its a mirror of google or a mirror of Ubuntu's keyservers, or a Debian Repository mirror | 00:36 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | in which case, god help you | 00:36 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | but for just a minecraft server? | 00:36 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | the amount of work you'd need to learn the server environment outweighs the benefits | 00:37 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | just for the one minecraft server | 00:37 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | s/the one/one/ | 00:37 |
| kiichiro | well I plan on probably doing hosting which means I want less lag as possible | 00:38 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | define "hosting" | 00:38 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | because that also has numerous other definitions | 00:38 |
| kiichiro | as in hosting a server for other people. | 00:39 |
| kiichiro | thus I will need more than 1 server running, so more the better. since you yourself even said you use 3 on your non gui and only 1 on your gui | 00:43 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | yes, but those systems have >= 16GB RAM | 00:43 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | you realize that in order to run effectively, a 20 slot minecraft server takes up 2GB of RAM right? | 00:43 |
| kiichiro | 20 slot? | 00:44 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | any number of slots actually | 00:44 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | bare minimum usage to operate lag-free | 00:44 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | well | 00:44 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | bare minimum allocated that is | 00:44 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | so if you have a 32GB RAM system, you can run 15 minecraft servers | 00:44 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | put 16 on, your system runs implosion risk :P | 00:44 |
| kiichiro | wow | 00:47 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | so you've got to consider: how BADLY do you want to run minecraft servers for people? | 00:47 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | (and btw, I charge inordinate amounts of money for minecraft servers, so its not a free hosting thing I do) | 00:48 |
| kiichiro | I would not freely host | 00:48 |
| kiichiro | but I think I should get a lil better comp even before switching to just a server os server computer. | 00:49 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | probly not a bad idea :P | 00:49 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | lets keep in mind my dedi i spent a couple thousand for | 00:49 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | but that's because its an actual server | 00:49 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | :P | 00:49 |
| kiichiro | figured my computer handles it so well thought it might be able to at least hold 4-5 more | 00:50 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | oh god no :P | 00:50 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | one minecraft server anything with enough ram and CPU can run | 00:50 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | two, depends | 00:50 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | three, pushing it on a high-end system | 00:50 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | four, god help you | 00:50 |
| kiichiro | yikes | 00:51 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | for standard consumer-level people :P | 00:51 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | (granted I'm not a consumer... i'm a power user, so I have the money to spend on even higher end boxes and setups) | 00:51 |
| kiichiro | nice, I've always wanted enough money for high end computers, owell in the future | 00:53 |
| kiichiro | so in other words, atm no reason to switch to ubuntu server? | 01:21 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nope | 01:52 |
| Guest1474 | Having issue with mounting 3 out of 4 raid5 disks (first disk failed)... keep getting "no superblock" errors... can someone please help me??? | 04:27 |
| lifeless | Guest1474: what do you mean by 3 out of 4? do you have 4 separate raid arrays, or a single 4-disk array ? | 04:33 |
| Guest1474 | 4 disk array, one disk died today | 04:34 |
| Guest1474 | I'm trying to recover some files off it | 04:34 |
| lifeless | is it a md raid / lvm raid / dm raid / hardware raid ? | 04:34 |
| Guest1474 | the disk that had the OS on it is the one that died, so I've booted SystemRescueCd | 04:35 |
| Guest1474 | md raid | 04:35 |
| Guest1474 | when I start sysrescuecd it detects the raid's and sets up /dev/md0, but when I go to mount it it throws errors about one of the disks having a bad superblock and then the /dev/md0 file is no longer there | 04:36 |
| === Guest1474 is now known as druciferre | ||
| druciferre | any help you can give me in recovering some of my files will be much appreciated | 04:39 |
| notAsysAdmin | i am trying to do sudo iptables-save > /etc/firewall-rules, prmission denied? anyone know why? | 04:44 |
| druciferre | notAsysAdmin, have you checked to make sure firewall-rules isn't a directory ? | 04:46 |
| notAsysAdmin | yes, i'm sure it is not | 04:48 |
| jmarsden | notAsysAdmin: The redirect >/etc/firewall-rules is happening in your normal user shell, not inside sudo. | 04:52 |
| jmarsden | Try something closer to sudo iptables-save |sudo tee /etc/firewall-rules | 04:52 |
| notAsysAdmin | what about if i do sudo passwd ** | 04:56 |
| jmarsden | notAsysAdmin: You need to explain what you are trying to do with that strange command... | 04:57 |
| notAsysAdmin | login as root, then run the iptables-save command | 04:57 |
| jmarsden | Don't do that. If you want, you can do sudo -i | 04:57 |
| jmarsden | and then in the resulting root shell, do iptables-save >/etc/firewall-rules | 04:57 |
| jmarsden | And then type exit. But it's more work than the command I suggested! | 04:58 |
| jmarsden | Did you try my suggestion? Did it work? | 04:58 |
| notAsysAdmin | i just did your original suggestion - it did work, the firewall-rules file contains all iptables rules i have recently typed. | 05:01 |
| notAsysAdmin | thank-you | 05:01 |
| jmarsden | You're welcome. | 05:01 |
| notAsysAdmin | if i put: pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/firewall-rules into /etc/network/interfaces, it has to go after the loopback device entry, right? | 05:04 |
| druciferre | have 4 disks in raid5 array, one died today, need help recovering files... mdadm --examine /dev/md0 returns "no md superblock detected" | 05:04 |
| lifeless | druciferre: hi, sorry, was afk for a bit | 05:08 |
| druciferre | no problem, I'm trying out openSUSE and I don't thin the open source nvidia drivers like dual monitors... it locked up | 05:08 |
| druciferre | but that's a different issue | 05:08 |
| druciferre | lifeless, if I do mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb5 /dev/sdc5, it returns "/dev/sda5 has no superblock" | 05:10 |
| druciferre | lifeless, but I can do "mdadm --examine /dev/sda5" and it says everything is okay ? | 05:11 |
| lifeless | http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-8.html might help | 05:13 |
| lifeless | I don't have a canned answer in my head for your situation, sorry :( | 05:13 |
| druciferre | if it has just been one of the disks that didn't have the darn OS on it, I think i would have been alright | 05:14 |
| notAsysAdmin | i'm having trouble doing an iptables-restore at boot. how would you guys do it? | 05:15 |
| druciferre | I found a great article on doing it once before, if my damn server hadn't crashed today I could tell you in 4 seconds, but let me see if I can find the article again | 05:16 |
| druciferre | the basic idea is that the network daemon actually has scripts that can be run when a device goes up or down | 05:17 |
| notAsysAdmin | thanks - i've googled and googled and googled | 05:17 |
| notAsysAdmin | ... and googled | 05:18 |
| druciferre | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo scroll down to the section titled "Configuration on Startup for NetworkManager" | 05:18 |
| druciferre | assuming you're using NetworkManager, I think this will be what you're looking for | 05:19 |
| notAsysAdmin | nah, just stock standard ubuntu server and iptables | 05:20 |
| druciferre | wait... that's not the same thing I used... | 05:21 |

| phaidros | is there any mechanism which alters config files back to original state once in a while? | 06:56 |
| phaidros | funnily my sshd_config gets set to "permitrootlogin yes" again a couple of hours I have set it to "no" | 06:56 |
| phaidros | sounds much like an open system imho, so probably I have to kill the machine asap and set it up again. | 06:57 |
| nandemonai | phaidros: That's certainly not normal. I'd be checking your access / auth logs. | 06:58 |
| phaidros | but for further investigation: 1. are there config altering tools? 2. last and auth.log don't tell a thing, where else to look? 3. root/.ssh/authorized_keys has nothing obvious | 06:58 |
| nandemonai | You could compare the modified time on the ssd conf file and your logs for anything suspicious. | 07:01 |
| phaidros | what does the /etc/ssh/moduli file do? that got altered at the same time | 07:01 |
| phaidros | nandemonai: okay .. nothing supicious, found it. | 07:02 |
| phaidros | *pohew | 07:02 |

| b0nghittr | can i install freenx with only xfce, not gnome and all its nonsense? | 16:57 |
| b0nghittr | and/or once i have installed freenx with all the gnome pkgs it installs has completed, can i remove all the unnecessary gnome pkgs and just keep xfce? | 16:59 |
| qman__ | b0nghittr, try with --no-install-recommends | 17:02 |
| qman__ | also, try installing the desktop of your choice first | 17:03 |
| b0nghittr | qman__: ty, apt-get install --no-install-recommends xubuntu-desktop, then install freenx? | 17:04 |
| qman__ | I meant the other way around, no recommends on freenx | 17:04 |
| qman__ | plenty of packages depend on 'a webserver' or 'a gui' | 17:04 |
| qman__ | and since apache and gnome gnome are default, it chooses them | 17:05 |

| qman__ | oh, it's opposite of what I thought | 17:20 |
| qman__ | change the script to start on level 2 | 17:20 |
| qman__ | that's why it's not starting | 17:20 |
| b0nghittr | how? lol | 17:21 |

| qman__ | change to | 17:24 |

| qman__ | # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 | 17:24 |
| b0nghittr | ah, ok | 17:24 |
| qman__ | and respectively remove 2 on the stop line | 17:24 |
| qman__ | then update-rc.d to apply the changes | 17:25 |

| b0nghittr | if you decide to use freenx, install the desktop first | 18:03 |
| io | tiphares: what application is going to be run under Wine? | 18:03 |
| b0nghittr | or freens will want to install gnome | 18:03 |
| tiphares | ah i understand | 18:03 |
| tiphares | will do | 18:03 |
| tiphares | why is that imporant io | 18:03 |
| ubuntufreak21 | yesss whooo!1 | 18:05 |
| io | it was merely a question, it seems weird that you've moved to Linux but are running GUI applications under Wine on a server. isn't there a native alternative that you can you? | 18:05 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i figured it out | 18:05 |
| tiphares | this is an external server io | 18:08 |
| tiphares | i use it for several things | 18:08 |
| tiphares | some nix, some win | 18:08 |
| b0nghittr | shes good | 18:08 |
| b0nghittr | oops wrong window | 18:09 |
| io | tiphares: I was only asking, chill. it would make your life a lot easier if you used the Linux alternatives to whatever secretive application you're running. I'll be quiet now :-) | 18:09 |
| tiphares | i'm chill dude, whats up:p? | 18:10 |
| tiphares | not all application has a linux equivalent :) | 18:10 |
| b0nghittr | tiphares: unfortunately | 18:12 |
| tiphares | btw b0nghittr | 18:17 |

| uvirtbot | Launchpad bug 589723 in freenx-server "[lucid] [regression] Session resume not working anymore" [Undecided,New] | 18:17 |
| tiphares | doesn't look too good | 18:17 |
| b0nghittr | i just booted xfce from my nx client, i'll try to close it andresume the session | 18:18 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i figured out how to format and mount my usb! yea'ha! | 18:19 |
| b0nghittr | tiphares: works fine with a fresh install | 18:19 |
| b0nghittr | on lucid | 18:19 |
| tiphares | yeah but think the bug only is if you connect from win? | 18:19 |
| b0nghittr | installing xubuntu-desktop first, then freenx when that has finished | 18:19 |
| tiphares | Note: Running FreeNX as server on Ubuntu with the free "NX Client for Windows" from NoMachine on a Windows workstation is working fine, except resuming sessions. | 18:20 |
| b0nghittr | i am connecting from winxp | 18:20 |
| tiphares | hm | 18:20 |
| tiphares | yeah alright | 18:20 |
| tiphares | maybe it's related to gnome | 18:20 |
| tiphares | either way, i'll give it a try | 18:20 |
| b0nghittr | cool, it works for me :) | 18:20 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i just figured it out woohaa! | 18:21 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: you said, please stop | 18:22 |
| ubuntufreak21 | sorry i thought i was blocked again | 18:22 |
| ubuntufreak21 | how come unetbootin isnt working for mint 11 | 18:26 |

| Ozik | hi, I have a problem with bind9, can't start because permission denied to file /etc/bind/named.conf both - file and cat are 744 and chown -R bind:bind | 19:07 |
| RoyK | Ozik: files should be 644, dir should be 755 | 19:14 |
| ikonia | Ozik: are you sure you're not using chroot | 19:14 |
| Ozik | I did as some tutorial to make it more secure, yes chroot | 19:15 |
| Ozik | how to check it? | 19:15 |
| ikonia | Ozik: ok then the config file won't be in /etc/bind - it will be ing $chroot/etc/bind | 19:16 |
| Ozik | ikonia: so $chroot/etc/bind chmod ... ? | 19:17 |
| ikonia | Ozik: no, find where the config file should be, and make sure it's there first | 19:17 |
| ikonia | Ozik: once you know where it is you can sort the permissions out | 19:17 |
| Ozik | it is /var/lib/named/etc/bind | 19:17 |
| ikonia | Ozik: ahh, there we go, so look at the permissions on that file | 19:18 |
| Ozik | ikonia: nope | 19:20 |
| ikonia | Ozik: what do you mean nope | 19:22 |
| Ozik | ikonia: logs saying still perm denied | 19:22 |
| Ozik | chown -R bind:bind is okay? | 19:23 |
| RoyK | Ozik: it means you allow the bind user write access to your zone files, so if you want to allow the bind process to modify those files, sure | 19:26 |
| Ozik | Royk: tut said nogroup | 19:27 |
| RoyK | Ozik: but when the next buffer overflow comes for bind9, a worm can change your zone to something pointing to a New And Better Spam Site | 19:27 |
| Ozik | :D | 19:27 |
| ikonia | Ozik: are you working now | 19:30 |
| Ozik | ikonia: what do you mean? | 19:31 |
| ikonia | Ozik: is bind working now ? | 19:31 |
| Ozik | ikonia: no, can't start due to permission denied to config file | 19:32 |
| ikonia | Ozik: please show me the output of ls -la on the config file | 19:32 |
| Ozik | ikonia: -rw-r--r-- 1 bind nogroup 463 | 19:34 |
| ikonia | Ozik: ok, and what is the name of the user your bind process is running as | 19:34 |
| Ozik | ikonia: I'm fresh in linux, you got me. Two options: root or my 1st acc, no one logged yet | 19:35 |
| ikonia | ok, I don't think it's either, | 19:36 |
| ikonia | when bind starts it passes options -u $user - that's the key bit | 19:36 |
| ikonia | what is that user | 19:36 |
| ikonia | normally that's held in /etc/sysconfig/bind - but I'm not %100 on the current ubuntu where that's held | 19:37 |
| ikonia | sorry /etc/sysconfig/named | 19:37 |
| Ozik | ikonia: I don't know if it;s important but /etc/init.d/bind9 status returns could not access PID file | 19:37 |
| ikonia | Ozik: I'm sure it will be later, as when bind starts, it writes it's process to a file called a pid file, however as bind's not starting, I don't see that as an issue | 19:38 |
| Ozik | ikonia: well no sysconfig dir, but /etc/bind, no file named named.conf, named.conf.local named.conf.options and named.conf.default-zones | 19:42 |
| ikonia | Ozik: well, it shouldn't be reading them, as you've told it to chroot | 19:43 |
| ikonia | Ozik: grep them for "named -u" | 19:43 |
| Ozik | ikonia: like grep "named -u" /etc/bind ? | 19:48 |
| ikonia | Ozik: no, you need to search the files in /etc/bind | 19:48 |
| ikonia | Ozik: why are you tyring to run a bind server, you seem quite new to Linux | 19:49 |
| Ozik | ikonia: I believe in that you can gain most knowledge by yourself :) trying to host test server, lamp, ftp dns :) | 19:50 |
| ikonia | I disagree with that stance and believe you will fall into the trap of running before walking | 19:51 |
| ikonia | Ozik: good luck | 19:51 |
| Ozik | ikonia: so I will stand up and go on, I've all learned this way ^^ | 19:52 |
| ikonia | good man | 19:54 |
| Ozik | ikonia: I know that I don't know ;) also I know that Gate's stuff is a crap as server so it is time to learn linux :) | 19:56 |
| ikonia | Ozik: well, bashing microsoft just shows utter ignorence | 19:56 |
| Ozik | ikonia: grep "named -u" here file names, no return | 19:58 |
| ikonia | Ozik: you're on your own | 19:58 |
| ikonia | (or if someone else in the channel chooses to help you) | 19:59 |
| Ozik | ikonia: as a child I used ms-dos a bit 3.11 w95 then w98 Me Xp seen Vista, now I'm trying to be familiar with win7 but I see it isn't reliable OS :) | 19:59 |
| ikonia | Ozik: then you see wrong | 20:00 |
| RoyK | Ozik: win7 is probably the best desktop thing that has come out of microsot | 20:00 |
| Ozik | ikonia: we are always learning :), any hint what for search? what problem does bind have? | 20:00 |
| ikonia | no | 20:00 |
| ikonia | I don't wish to progress this any further | 20:01 |
| phaidros | RoyK: whichdoesnt make it good..necessarily ;) | 20:01 |
| RoyK | but this is an ubuntu channel..... | 20:01 |
| phaidros | Ozik: try to read the log files | 20:01 |
| Ozik | phraidros: nothing interesting just none:0: open /etc/bind/named.conf: permission denied | 20:03 |
| alex-weeej | my 9.04 server seems to be unable to find any archive files, everything's 404ing. did jaunty server go EOL'd without me knowing? :S | 20:05 |
| ikonia | alex-weeej: because its EOL | 20:05 |
| ikonia | alex-weeej: it's only supported for 18months | 20:05 |
| alex-weeej | i thought desktop was 18 months | 20:05 |
| ikonia | 9.04 = 04 2009 | 20:05 |
| alex-weeej | sevrer 3 years | 20:05 |
| alex-weeej | or is that really really old policy that i didn't keep up to date with | 20:06 |
| ikonia | alex-weeej: no only LTS is different I believe | 20:06 |
| alex-weeej | ffffuuuuu- | 20:06 |
| alex-weeej | ok, how do i save my system? :S | 20:06 |
| ikonia | the other releases are just 18months...... | 20:06 |
| ikonia | upgrade ? | 20:06 |
| alex-weeej | i can't even install the updater though | 20:06 |
| ikonia | why not ? | 20:06 |

| ikonia | !upgrade > alex-weeej | 20:07 |
| ubottu | alex-weeej, please see my private message | 20:07 |
| alex-weeej | ikonia: can i just change my sources file to point to old-releases instead of us.archive? | 20:07 |
| alex-weeej | and then upgrade? | 20:07 |
| Ozik | ikonia: I did some dirs, ln, mknod, remove --purge will help or I need to do something more? | 20:07 |
| ikonia | Ozik: I'm not interested in progressing it | 20:08 |
| ikonia | alex-weeej: yes, | 20:09 |
| ikonia | alex-weeej: that's the bottom line | 20:09 |
| alex-weeej | ikonia: thanks, i'll give it a go | 20:09 |
| ikonia | alex-weeej: check the upgrade instructions ubottu just pm'd | 20:09 |
| alex-weeej | ikonia: i already looked there -- the 9.04 instructions seem to assume the 9.04 archive is still online | 20:10 |
| ikonia | alex-weeej: well, it is, on old-releases.ubuntu.com | 20:10 |
| Ozik | ikonia: I just want to revert it, remove all, install bind again and try again | 20:10 |
| alex-weeej | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Jaunty | 20:10 |
| ikonia | Ozik: I'm not interested in progressing it | 20:11 |
| ikonia | alex-weeej: ahh, good find | 20:11 |
| Ozik | ikonia: progress? no, revert yes :), ok I'm not bothering you any more :) | 20:12 |
| ikonia | Ozik: ok, thanks | 20:12 |
| StrangeCharm | i just installed 11.04 server x64 from a usb stick, onto an encrypted lvm, with /home on a raid. on first boot, grub loads fine, but after picking the default image, i just get a blinking cursor. i tried repeating the install, but no change as far as i can tell. what sort of things might be going wrong; where could i look for documentation on this sort of problem? | 20:38 |

| StrangeCharm | phaidros, the new system was installed fresh onto disks with no data. the install disk set things up after i decided on the partitions & volumes &c | 21:30 |
