[00:45] <_John-Doe_> hello ubuntu community!
[00:46] <SpamapS> hello JOHN
[04:26] <stgraber> jjohansen: default
[04:45] <jjohansen> stgraber: okay thanks
[06:16] <axisys> is there a puppet recipe anyone know of that sets up pxe boot server ?
[11:04] <spm_Draget> Greetings. I am running u-server 10.4 LTS (lucid) on my own machine, and have access to a second machine running the same version. On this machine there is a packate installed 'mapserver-6.0.1' while on my serve rthe repos only show mapserver-5.6 avialable. I thought it was a backport - but how do I find this ou?
[11:04] <spm_Draget> I looked into /etc/apt/sources.list and the backport repos seem to be commented out on the other machine.
[11:05] <spm_Draget> Is there a way to find out why the other machine has mapserver-6.0.1 available and mine not?
[11:05] <spm_Draget> (Oh sorry, it is called 'cgi-mapserver')
[11:05] <shauno> spm_Draget: 'apt-cache policy cgi-mapserver' may render some clues
[11:06] <shauno> (I'm not sure if it needs to be still available via apt sources to show up, however)
[11:08] <spm_Draget> 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ppa/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages - is this the open communty repository? Hmm, I'll check sources.list agian, maybe I overlooked something
[11:10] <spm_Draget> Nope, sources.list are identical. Must admit that I am not too familar with any other means of installing 'additional' packges by anything else but adding something to my sources
[11:11] <shauno> any differences in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ?
[11:13] <shauno> I believe add-apt-repository will create individual *.list files under there, rather than editing your actual sources.list
[11:19] <spm_Draget> Thats it! Thank you. I will copy these over
[12:18] <ghatak> Hi, i am having little trouble with mdadm, i created an md device md0 at level 1 (mirror) by adding only one partition. That works fine, however when I reboot the system, it complains that array is degraded, and renames md0 to md127 and asks start array degraded (y/n). I am ok with starting array degraded, but why does it rename the array to md127?
[12:26] <dns53> no idea, but you should be using the uuid of the device and not the device name as the device can potentially move
[15:53] <thafreak> is there still a separate virt channel?
[16:29] <jparker> hey guys I need help, I need to figure out how to install a newer version of mysql on ubuntu 10.4 that isnt in the repository
[16:30] <Patrickdk> just install it :)
[16:30] <jparker> basically ubuntu 10.0.4 uses mysql 5.1.41 and I need to install mysql 5.1.61
[16:30] <jparker> yeah but unfortianltly I dont really know where to start
[16:30] <jparker> :(
[16:30] <qman__> in order of preference, backports, PPA, manual deb, compile from source
[16:31] <jparker> backports  would have newer versions?
[16:31] <qman__> that's what backports are
[16:31] <Patrickdk> if someone requested one, and someone built it
[16:31] <qman__> porting newer versions of software back into old releases
[16:32] <jparker> but this is to go to the newest verion
[16:32] <Patrickdk> personally I use my own rebuils of: http://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-Server-5.1/
[16:32] <jparker> not going back to a older one
[16:32] <qman__> new software, old release
[16:33] <qman__> 10.04 is nearly two years old, and its supported/included software versions are also two years old
[16:33] <Patrickdk> you also loose security updates, when going with backports
[16:33] <jparker> gotcha
[16:34] <jparker> so its as simple as adding deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-backports main restricted universe multiverse to my /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[16:34] <qman__> if that version of mysql was backported, yes
[16:34] <qman__> I don't know if it was or not, you'll have to search
[16:40] <jparker> doesnt look like I can find any mysql in backports
[17:21] <jparker> wow looking into this it seems pretty hard to do this
[17:22] <jparker> we are just trying to import a database, but there is a bug in mysql 5.1.41 which is the version in lucid
[17:23] <jparker> and apparently mysql 5.1.47 has the fix
[17:23] <jparker> but trying to find a way to upgrade it on our server proves to be hard :/
[17:31] <jparker> if anyone can help me figure this out that would be so great, I did look at back ports but couldnt find any thing new
[17:31] <stgraber> jjohansen: did you manage to reproduce the issue?
[17:58] <jparker> solved my problem by finding this! https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ppa
[17:59] <jparker> thanks for your guys help
[19:27] <delinquentme> hey all so I'm attempting to describe some server-related task that I'm after and I'm wondering if im using the correct terminology ... therefore does anyone happen to have a link to the general processes servers carryout?
[19:28] <delinquentme> im describing what im after as binary protocols ... and I think it would be perfectly equipped to handle it .. im not 100% sure though
[19:30] <qman__> not a clue what you're talking about, which probably means you have the wrong terminology
[19:31] <delinquentme> so maybe API calls
[19:32] <delinquentme> basically I've got a primary server ( rails deriv ) and then polling servers which drive microcontrollers ( hardware )
[19:32] <delinquentme> primary server will init calls to the polling servers and thus init stuff on the robotics
[19:32] <delinquentme> API calls would be correct no?
[19:33] <qman__> if you designed your protocol that way, sure
[19:33] <qman__> an API only exists inside the terms of the application though
[19:33] <qman__> e.g. GTK API, kernel API, ...
[23:01] <jjohansen> stgraber: I haven't got a chance yet but I did find an uninitialized value in one bind path, if you get a chance you might want to try this kernel people.canonical.com/~jj/linux-image-3.2.0-18-generic_3.2.0-18.29_amd64.deb
