stuntmachineI'm curious about what is considered the "right" way of setting up an Ubuntu virtualization server.  I recently tried Proxmox, but I'd like to use something that doesn't insulate me from what's happening so much.  Also, Proxmox is based on pure Debian.  I'd rather use Ubuntu as my OS.00:15
stuntmachineI set up a basic Lucid box with KVM, but I'm not sure if a) that's the best approach, and b) if it is the correct approach, what is the most efficient way to manage it?00:16

johnaHi, I have a 11.04 server working (sort of, its a little unstable) and I wondering if i would be better off regressing to 10.04 LTS. Could somebody point me to a description of LTS support - package updates policy?00:28
kim0johna: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS00:29
johnakimo: thanks00:30
johnaOK, in the LTS versions do they keep the applications up to date (eg, is postfix kept close to the developers latest version) or is it frozen at the OPSYS release level?00:40
twbjohna: all releases are stable.  That is, they do not get new versions from upstream, because new versions = new bugs.00:46
twbjohna: there are exceptions: bugfixes are backported in the <release>-security area, likewise non-security critical issues are fixed in <release>-updates, and some packages have new upstream versions packaged in <release>-backports.00:46
twbAlso, certain utterly utterly stupid upstreams, like firefox, violate this design because upstream are asses and make life impossible for the Debian/Ubuntu developers.00:47
johnatwb: HI, I understand that, but having just moved over from Centos which did not incorporate anything new for years, eg. postfix was still on 2.2/3 while the latest is 2.8.  while I might be "happy" to a little behind, but I would prefer not to be using SW from the museum.00:53
twbNot my problem.00:56
twbIf you don't like it, you can run non-LTS releases, or pre-release versions, but IMO both are a recipe for disaster.00:56
twbYou can also run an LTS release and then, in some cases, cherry-pick packages that you really need to be a newer version, although that requires more experience with apt/dpkg than you probably have at this time.00:57
johnatwb: is the cherry-picking approach "really" difficult or just RTFM difficult?00:59
twbIt's "doing this will void your warranty" difficult01:00
twbHow difficult depends on the package.  For example, eatmydata is trivial to cherry-pick, but mysql is just not gonna happen.01:00
johnatwb: hell I've been doing that for years, I don't expect to do it very often and I expect if there is some "oscar winner" change then it will be included in the updates. I am more interested in including things like postscreen, or the latest drupal package.01:03
twbGranted, since you're coming from RHEL/C5 you're already used to that kind of situation.01:10
johnatwb: thanks for the info, as LTS releases are ever two years things should not get too far behind. Once again thanks.01:26
twbNo worries01:26
jeeves_mossis there a way to list the NTP servers you have currently in your config, but list them in order of latency?03:38

thisismygameDoes anyone have experience setting up virtualbox with rdp access? I just installed ubuntu from a natty minimal cd, got virtualbox installed with apt-get (so the package name is called virtualbox-ose) and I enabled VRDE in vbox. I am still unable to connect. I think because there is nothing listed in netstat -l for port 3389. Do I need to manually add something on the ubuntu host?18:48
KM0201thisismygame: whats the IP of the virtual machine?18:49
RoyKthisismygame: try netstat -ln18:49
KM0201will that work, if he doesn't have vbox calling for its own IP?18:49
RoyKhm.. nope18:50
RoyKnever used VRDE myself - I've used the vbox from virtualbox.org, which has RDP server hosting from the host address (not the guest)18:50
thisismygameKM0201: win2000 vm: 10.0.2.15 ubuntu host: 192.168.1.12118:51
KM0201thisismygame: see, i was right18:51
KM0201you need to set the guest, to call for its own IP.18:51
KM0201thisismygame: shut down the virtual os.18:51
KM0201right click the virtual machine/settings18:51
RoyKthisismygame: it's probably better to use bridging if you want the guest to be easily accessible18:51
thisismygameKM0201: so you're saying there is no way to do this using the NAT default networking18:51
KM0201go to network.. on the adapter, set it from "NAT" to "bridged".. that will make the guest OS, call for its own IP18:51
thisismygameKM0201: i've done it using bridged mode before18:52
thisismygameRight18:52
KM0201i would use bridged for what you're wanting to do.18:52
thisismygamefine18:52
thisismygamethank you18:52
KM0201RoyK: i'm having a minor prob... i've mounted my RAID at /media/NAS18:56
KM0201i want to create some sub folders on "NAS".. that only a particular user will have access to.18:56
KM0201via samba18:56
RoyKerm.. create the dir and chown it to the user, chmod go-rwx ?18:57
RoyK!chmod18:57

grendal-prime_ok i need two create an extra interface on a physcal box so i can bridge it to a vnet19:18
grendal-prime_the box is acting as a router so eth0 is inside, eth1 is internet facing. I want to use iptables to masquarded and sourcenat info toe eth2 wich is actually bridged to br0 if that makes any sence?19:19

T3CHKOMMIEim looking for a netboot solution. i heard of a linux flavor of OS that lets you load iso or images and serves them up Via PXE. does anyone know the name of it? im trying to set up something here at work that will let me do remote OS installes by booting on lan and pointing to a PXE server hosting my images. any ideas?20:04
skritehey all, what kind of networking hardware do i need to look into to build a mysql-cluster with three machines20:04

grendal-prime_for virtual enviroment20:05
grendal-prime_most distros you can just crate a bridge call it br0 you dont have to fastne it to anything really but ubuntu does not like that brecause its ...well lets face it kinda illogical20:06

tcsadminlixxus -yes but majority of ubuntu servers don't have gui installed21:37
lixxusyes  i know21:38
lixxusbut for linux noob like me21:38
lixxusconfiguring files etc through backend command is scary21:38
tcsadminlixxus - yeah, command line can be a bit scary but that's how it's done, not via gui21:38
lixxusis there any recommendation for novice users like me21:39
tcsadminlixxus - i'd get comfortabel with ubuntu desktop gui first then make the transition to server21:39
Ursinhalixxus: I'd say: you'll get used to that :)21:40
lixxusi am familar with ubuntu desktop21:40
lixxuscomfortable with ubuntu desktop21:40
tcsadminlixxus - i'd said take the plunge and forget about the gui then21:40
lixxushowever command line through putty seems long winded21:41
tcsadminlixxus - you'll learn a heck of a lot more about ubuntu server thru the command line21:41
tcsadminlixxus - long winded but you'll learn more, trust me on that21:41
lixxusyes but its all about saving time21:41
tcsadminlixxus - ubuntu server i very popular so you'll never get stuck for long21:41
tcsadminand you will get better/faster as time goes21:42
lixxuslong term it might be good learning, but i dont have time to mess about.21:42
tcsadminwhat are you trying to do?21:42
lixxusthe aim of the server is for mail,web, possibly voip21:42
lixxusthere are tailored solution unique to each function, however i would rather create my own21:43
tcsadminyou can get the base ubuntu LAMP server going in about 10-15 mins21:43
lixxusthe other suggestion provided to me is to install esxi server and install each server for each function21:44
tcsadminfunction you mention that, i was going to suggest vmware!21:44
lixxushowever i will be running the system on a atom d410 processor 2gb ram21:44
lixxusso i dont know if vmware will be powerful enough21:44
tcsadminvmware is pretty slick but one unknown at a time!21:44
tcsadminyeah, you need pretty good hardware for vmware21:45

tcsadminit should work so i say go for it21:46
