[00:02] RoyK: it's an issue with how update-grub for "grub 1" works; this should be fixed with "grub 2" though [00:03] JanC: last I checked, new installs with lucid used grub 2 [00:03] grub 2 doesn't use menu.lst [00:04] JanC: all pf the machines with this problem are installed with lucid from scrach [00:04] all of, even [00:05] the bug you pointed to is for grub 1 & menu.lst, so if you have an issue with grub 2 it must be another bug... [00:06] RoyK: are you sure you're using grub 2?

[00:10] neither of my machines are upgraded [00:10] all basic lucid installs [00:10] I doubt this is really a duplicate [00:11] grub.cfg should never be edited manually [00:11] as all the config is elsewhere [00:12] so there is no reason for debconf to not update it? [00:12] well, grub.cfg seems to be the thing that chooses the kernel [00:13] and that doesn't seem to be upgraded [00:13] or updated [00:13] grub.cfg is auto-generated by update-grub (for grub2) [00:13] should-be-auto-generated [00:13] alle the configuration about what should go into it is under /etc [00:14] JanC: I have a one year old grub.cfg [00:14] on several servers [00:14] RoyK: I'm not saying there can't be a bug, I'm saying it can't be the same bug as that grub1/menu.lst bug ☺ [00:15] agreed [00:15] so the duplicate status is wrong IMO [00:15] yep [00:16] Did anyone see my 'apt-get update' problem earlier on a new install on oneiric? [00:16] jdstrand: ^^^ you might want to look at that again ☺ [00:18] JanC: how can you revoke a duplication? [00:18] jdstrand: RoyK's bug report #873198 [00:20] RoyK: I guess by pressing the edit button before the "Duplicate of bug #..." in the sidebar? [00:21] RoyK: it's possible that for some reason update-grub thinks that grub1 is still used, or whatever [00:22] how could that be, when lucid is installed? [00:22] or for some other reason it thinks grub2 is not used [00:23] well, you can use grub2, grub1, lilo, and a couple of other bootloaders in lucid [00:24] I guess there is some logic somewhere to detect what's used, and there might be a bug somewhere in that logic (just guessing) [00:24] or there might be another reason [00:25] if your /boot is on a separate partition, you might want to make sure grub knows that [00:36] rcsheets: this is the worst day of my computing life [00:53] royk, grub1 was default in lucid, till 10.04.2 I believe, then grub2 became default === [1]Ivan2-Ian is now known as Ivan2-Ian [01:34] so i have usb2 mass storage devices going offline using usb3 ports. they just stop, or say "Buffer I/O error" and go offline. === Jasonn is now known as Jasonn|NotHere === Jasonn|NotHere is now known as Jasonn [02:41] New bug: #879749 in samba (main) "package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package samba is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed')" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/879749 [02:57] New bug: #879751 in samba (main) "package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package samba is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed')" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/879751 === medberry is now known as med_out [03:24] why does 'apt-get update' fail on new install of oneiric? === GhostFreeman_ is now known as GhostFreeman [03:31] When I run 'apt-get update' the last package has a hash error, but this is a fresh install on oneiric?

[09:18] andol: I see, I will have a look. Thanks! [09:30] Hi new question. Am i able to put the swap on a software raid array? [09:33] al-maisan: It's highly likely that it's logrotate, it usually SIGHUP's daemons when it has logrotated (so the daemon open a new fd to write its log to) [09:35] ersi: should I see the daemon in question mentioned somewhere in /etc/logrotate.d/** in that case? [09:36] what is puzzling me that when I look at /etc/logrotate.d/ there is no mention of the daemon that gets restarted (celeryd), "grep -i -r celery /etc/logrotate.d" draws a blank [09:37] HM.

Then I get to the GRUB install, and it wants me to write where the boot loader should be installed.. atm it writes "/dev/mapper" in the textbox :S [14:21] using fakeraid? [14:21] if so, don't [14:22] I made the raid0 via my bios [14:22] turn that off and just use the software [14:22] you _can_ use it, but it'll just make things messy, exemplified above [14:23] and offers no advantages over mdadm [14:24] So when I install ubuntu server I should make the Partitions manually instead? [14:24] Zerpy: really, software raid is better [14:24] which means? :p [14:26] Zerpy: turn off that fakeraid, create partitions manually for use with raid. I usually create three partitions, same size, on each disk, one small (1GB) for /boot (ext2), one for swap (=RAM size) and the rest for / (ext4). Flag those partitions to be used for RAID, then choose "configure RAID", create three mirrors, go back, and place filesystems on the RAID devices as needed [14:26] then again, the layout is your choice, I just posted what I usually do [14:31] I followed ur tip :D Thank you [14:34] when I did try to save the settings it said that sda3 and sdb3 couldn't run on same 'location' :S === Jasonn is now known as Jasonn|NotHere === Jasonn|NotHere is now known as Jasonn === jMCg is now known as JMCG [17:15] !flash [17:15] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [17:18] hi folks, I am creating an irc on my lan, I could connect to server from client, but alway got disconnect soon after, I am using ircd-hybrid, any suggestion?

[19:18] no, not really [19:18] if you're running 32-bit applications, 64-bit requires 32-bit libraries along with 64-bit ones [19:18] so technically it does use a little more, and makes more available, but not to any significant degree [19:20] use whatever is best suited to your application [19:48] wo0f, technically, if you app uses lots of pointers, yes, 32bit would save memory [19:48] but the cost of switching from 64bit to 32bit and back normally makes it better to just stick with 64bit for everything [19:49] Patrickdk, rgr [20:03] 64 bits ++ === almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan === al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away === Zerpy is now known as zerpex [21:25] anyone here that ever played with the s3cmd script? for sending files to amazon s3?
