Guest55045how to check my processor bit? whether it is 32 or 64 bit?13:04
holsteinGuest55045: you can open a terminal and run...13:05
holsteinuname -m13:05
Guest55045holstein: its returns i68613:06
Guest55045holstein: what does it mean?13:06
holstein32bit13:06
Guest55045holstein: hmm.. tnx13:07
holsteinalso13:07
holsteinfile /sbin/init13:07
Guest55045holstein: I got a web link.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit13:07
Guest55045holstein: check this instead of the previous https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit#How_to_Check13:07
holsteinGuest55045: sure... im getting these commands from searching 'ubuntu 32 or 64 bit how to tell'13:08
Guest55045it says http://paste.ubuntu.com/717813/13:08
holsteintheres also http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-how-to-find-if-processor-is-64-bit-or-not/13:09
holsteinAFAIK, what we are looking at is *if* you have 32 or 64 installed13:09
holsteinbut, is your proc 64bit capable?... if thats the question, you might want to look at that13:09
Guest55045holstein: ya.. I want to know about my processor's capability13:10
Guest55045whether it support 64 or not13:10
holsteinright13:10
Guest55045holstein: but the output I dont understand13:11
holsteinwell, you look for lm's13:11
holsteinas per the link "lm flag means Long mode cpu - 64 bit CPU"13:11
Guest55045then what does it mean for me?13:12
Guest55045holstein: Is it supporting the 64?13:12
holsteinGuest55045: it means... if you have lm's in that file, you have "long mode" CPU which = 64bit13:12
holsteindo you see lm's in that file?13:12
Guest55045http://paste.ubuntu.com/717813/13:13
Guest55045here is my output13:13

nijadcan someone help me on  giving write access to a db16:45
three18tihow do I differentiate public vs private networks when using multiple nics?21:27
three18tiTo put the question into context, I am building a cluster, and would like to have eth0 connected to the Internet and eth1 connected to the node head.21:32
three18tiintermittently I am not receiving a ping response to pinging a public domain, however, ping does resolve the IP.21:33
holsteinhmmm... that would be a DNS record though right?21:34
holsteinnot necessarily indicative of connectivity21:35
holsteinmabye im wrong21:35
holsteinthree18ti: what are you trying to do?21:35
three18ticonnect a machine to a public and private network.21:35
holsteinwith 2 different NICs21:36
three18tiyes.21:36
three18tithey are effectively separate networks.21:36
holsteinhttp://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/multiple-network-cards-config/21:38
holstein^^ thats what i would expect in a GUI21:38
holsteinjust selecting each one, and configuring based on what each network is expecting21:38
three18tiubuntu server.  but I'm comfortable editing the config.21:39
holsteinwith a headless box i would think it would be a matter of manually configuring /etc/network/interfaces21:40
three18tiso riddle me this, they are both DHCP networks, could this be my issue?21:40
holsteinshouldnt matter right?21:40
holsteineither way, you can static IP on both outside the DHCP range to test21:40
holsteini wouldnt be ashamed of using a live CD to set it up once in the GUI, and test, and poke around to learn how to do it in the terminal on the server21:41
three18tiok, maybe the issue is self inflicted...21:45
three18tiI was trying to cheat and use the already existing virtual bridge, virbr0, which I think VirtualBox created when I had to use it months ago...21:46
three18tiI think I left out the part about how this is a virtual cluster and I'm using qemu on dev machine.21:47
three18timaybe VBox does something hinkey when it configures the interface?...21:48
holsteinnot that im aware of21:50
three18tiha! just turned up another machine using two nics and I can't reproduce the issue...21:50
* three18ti faceplam21:50
holsteinyeah, it happens... no worries21:50
holsteinat least you know how to troubleshoot it :)21:50
three18tiI sear I'm not crazy.21:50
three18ti*swear21:50
three18tilol.  well thanks for the help21:51
holsteinthree18ti: anytime... good luck21:51
three18tithanks.  now if only I could get this node to boot off the nfs...21:52

three18tiwhat do you do when ubuntu docs say  /etc/inetd.conf should have a line in it, but your version of ubuntu doesn't use init scripts?  I feel like I should know the answer but I'm at a loss to explain why tftp doesn't work for PXE boot...23:56
