[13:01] <shahan> how to check my processor bit? whether it is 32 or 64 bit?
[13:03] <s-fox> Hello.
[13:04] <Guest55045> how to check my processor bit? whether it is 32 or 64 bit?
[13:05] <holstein> Guest55045: you can open a terminal and run...
[13:05] <holstein> uname -m
[13:06] <Guest55045> holstein: its returns i686
[13:06] <Guest55045> holstein: what does it mean?
[13:06] <holstein> 32bit
[13:07] <Guest55045> holstein: hmm.. tnx
[13:07] <holstein> also
[13:07] <holstein> file /sbin/init
[13:07] <Guest55045> holstein: I got a web link.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit
[13:07] <Guest55045> holstein: check this instead of the previous https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit#How_to_Check
[13:08] <holstein> Guest55045: sure... im getting these commands from searching 'ubuntu 32 or 64 bit how to tell'
[13:08] <Guest55045> it says http://paste.ubuntu.com/717813/
[13:09] <holstein> theres also http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-how-to-find-if-processor-is-64-bit-or-not/
[13:09] <holstein> AFAIK, what we are looking at is *if* you have 32 or 64 installed
[13:09] <holstein> but, is your proc 64bit capable?... if thats the question, you might want to look at that
[13:10] <Guest55045> holstein: ya.. I want to know about my processor's capability
[13:10] <Guest55045> whether it support 64 or not
[13:10] <holstein> right
[13:11] <Guest55045> holstein: but the output I dont understand
[13:11] <holstein> well, you look for lm's
[13:11] <holstein> as per the link "lm flag means Long mode cpu - 64 bit CPU"
[13:12] <Guest55045> then what does it mean for me?
[13:12] <Guest55045> holstein: Is it supporting the 64?
[13:12] <holstein> Guest55045: it means... if you have lm's in that file, you have "long mode" CPU which = 64bit
[13:12] <holstein> do you see lm's in that file?
[13:13] <Guest55045> http://paste.ubuntu.com/717813/
[13:13] <Guest55045> here is my output
[13:13] <holstein> sure
[13:13] <holstein> Guest55045: ive looked
[13:13] <holstein> have you?
[13:13] <Guest55045> hmm
[13:13] <Guest55045> lm
[13:13] <Guest55045> that means it support 64
[13:14] <holstein> Guest55045: from the site where you got that command
[13:14] <holstein> "lm flag means Long mode cpu - 64 bit CPU"
[13:14] <Guest55045> ya...
[13:14] <Guest55045> thank you very much :)
[13:14] <Guest55045> take care
[13:15] <holstein> o/
[16:45] <nijad> can someone help me on  giving write access to a db
[21:27] <three18ti> how do I differentiate public vs private networks when using multiple nics?
[21:32] <three18ti> To 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.
[21:33] <three18ti> intermittently I am not receiving a ping response to pinging a public domain, however, ping does resolve the IP.
[21:34] <holstein> hmmm... that would be a DNS record though right?
[21:35] <holstein> not necessarily indicative of connectivity
[21:35] <holstein> mabye im wrong
[21:35] <holstein> three18ti: what are you trying to do?
[21:35] <three18ti> connect a machine to a public and private network.
[21:36] <holstein> with 2 different NICs
[21:36] <three18ti> yes.
[21:36] <three18ti> they are effectively separate networks.
[21:38] <holstein> http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/multiple-network-cards-config/
[21:38] <holstein> ^^ thats what i would expect in a GUI
[21:38] <holstein> just selecting each one, and configuring based on what each network is expecting
[21:39] <three18ti> ubuntu server.  but I'm comfortable editing the config.
[21:40] <holstein> with a headless box i would think it would be a matter of manually configuring /etc/network/interfaces
[21:40] <three18ti> so riddle me this, they are both DHCP networks, could this be my issue?
[21:40] <holstein> shouldnt matter right?
[21:40] <holstein> either way, you can static IP on both outside the DHCP range to test
[21:41] <holstein> i 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 server
[21:45] <three18ti> ok, maybe the issue is self inflicted...
[21:46] <three18ti> I 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...
[21:47] <three18ti> I think I left out the part about how this is a virtual cluster and I'm using qemu on dev machine.
[21:48] <three18ti> maybe VBox does something hinkey when it configures the interface?...
[21:50] <holstein> not that im aware of
[21:50] <three18ti> ha! just turned up another machine using two nics and I can't reproduce the issue...
[21:50]  * three18ti faceplam
[21:50] <holstein> yeah, it happens... no worries
[21:50] <holstein> at least you know how to troubleshoot it :)
[21:50] <three18ti> I sear I'm not crazy.
[21:50] <three18ti> *swear
[21:51] <three18ti> lol.  well thanks for the help
[21:51] <holstein> three18ti: anytime... good luck
[21:52] <three18ti> thanks.  now if only I could get this node to boot off the nfs...
[22:54] <fosburg> where do I find Type 1 fonts (helvetica) that can be installed on a linux OS?
[22:57] <holstein> fosburg: i would check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts
[22:59] <holstein> maybe http://www.searchfreefonts.com/search/?q=helvetica for the font files?
[23:17] <asterismo> hi people
[23:17] <asterismo> simple question
[23:18] <asterismo> talking about performance and speed
[23:18] <asterismo> maverick vs natty vs oneiric??
[23:18] <asterismo> any opinions?
[23:51] <asterismo> hi people
[23:51] <asterismo>  simple question
[23:51] <asterismo>  talking about performance and speed
[23:51] <asterismo>  maverick vs natty vs oneiric??
[23:51] <asterismo> any opinions?
[23:56] <three18ti> what 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...
