=== metasansana is now known as allalone === allalone is now known as blah === Skaag_ is now known as Skaag [00:56] when your setting up ubuntu server, is it better to partition it like the desktop version [00:56] where you have a boot, swap, root, and a home directory? [01:05] i need to run shell comands on the gnome, but it is not on the sidebar. how do i launch gnome? [02:05] I have maas finally working on ubuntu-server 32 bit [02:05] thank you everyone [02:14] I was setting up a couple vm's and noticed "The following packages have been kept back: linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server" so, i apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server. say yes to dependencies and walk away. a day later i boot up the vm and neither can resolve hostnames anymore and the "kept back" packages are still the same. [02:14] i can delete these vm's and start over, no big deal, but im curious what went wrong. [02:20] what idd you do, that gave you that message? [02:21] im assuming uncommenting repositories in /apt/sources.list. every time i would apt-get upgrade/update it woud say that afterwards. i got the uncomment additional repositories advice from someone who probably knows less about linux than i do. [02:21] or /etc/apt/sources.list rather [02:21] hmm, failure to read the apt-get manual? [02:21] upgrade doesn't upgrade everything, as you found out [02:22] ic [02:22] it doesn't bring in new things [02:22] those are new, therefor it didn't upgrade them [02:22] try using dist-upgrade [02:22] i was just about to ask that [02:34] ok, thats finished and rebooted. i still seem to have no dns lookup from the vm [07:34] Hello, Please tell me how do I configure the virtual machine on my ubuntu server 10.04 to start automatically on system startup? === sarthor_ is now known as sarthor === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [07:56] Hello, Please tell me how do I configure the virtual machine on my ubuntu server 10.04 to start automatically on system startup? [08:07] Syria: That really depends on what virtulization setup you are using etc. If you use libvirt/kvm, which I guess can be considered the Ubuntu default, you might want to use virsh autostart [08:20] andol: /usr/bin/VBoxManage startvm "machine name" --type headless / this is how i start the machine. [08:21] andol: I have to use Virsh autostart for this? [08:24] Syria: why don't you just use kvm? [08:24] RoyK: Because i don't know what KVM is.. :( can it be installed on my ubuntu server 10.04 LTS? [08:25] apt-get install kvm virt-manager [08:25] then just run virt-manager === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [08:29] RoyK: Thank you, I will do this. === felipe__ is now known as Guest77333 [09:05] RoyK: Could you please help me with the virt-manager ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [09:06] RoyK: U have installed it, But i don't even know how start the wizard.. I have two virtual machines that i want them to start automatically on system startup [09:06] Syria: start virt-manager [09:07] RoyK: start: Unknown job: virt-manager [09:07] Syria: also, virtualbox VMs won't show up there automatically, you'll need to migrate them to kvm [09:07] just type "virt-manager" in the console [09:08] RoyK: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1020975/ [09:09] RoyK: Also how can I migrate the machines from virtual box to kvm please.. [09:10] Syria: http://bit.ly/LpO01C [09:10] Syria: gtk.GtkWarning: could not open display [09:10] meaning you need to use X11 forwarding [09:13] RoyK: Thank you, I will work on the migration now then on the X11 forwarding [09:13] ssh -y somehost will turn that on [09:14] if you're using a windows client, turn it on in putty and install xming === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider === e2b04836_ is now known as e2b04836 === schmidtm_ is now known as schmidtm === schmidtm_ is now known as schmidtm [11:47] hello... is it possible to run vmware player on ubuntu server ? What I want to do is to install install vmplayer and run the vmplayer to show a XP machine .. is it possible to do that? help greatly appreciated. [11:48] meditator: I don't see why that should be a problem [11:48] meditator: also, kvm may be usable to run the vm too [11:49] thanks RoyK, sorry for my ignorance.. what is kvm ? [11:49] !kvm [11:49] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [11:49] thanks [12:27] mhh this sucks... there are differences between partitions made on sda and sdb when setting teh same size [12:45] * cwillu_at_work suggests that you didn't do what you think you did === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [13:01] it's possible but only if you have different hardware or messed up geometry [13:01] if they're the same disks with correct geometry, they have the same exact block layout and can be set up identically === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [13:31] Unless you have bad sectors on one/both === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [13:52] qman__: yap... two different disks... but it always worked [13:55] since when can 12.04 not install grub on sdb in a raid1 MD set ? [15:10] hi guys :) [15:15] I have problems getting ufw to run on a ubuntu 10.04 LTS in a OpenVZ Virtual Environment. Is this the right place to come or should I rather ask in #openvz? [15:16] How can I tell what the source for a package is? [15:16] I want to know if it came from Ubuntu or a PPA [15:23] heller_barde: the kernel may not support everything ufw needs. Use /usr/share/ufw/check-requirements [15:25] jdstrand: oh i see. any suggestions for a firewall solution then? [15:26] jdstrand: i already tried shorewall to no luck [15:32] iptables [15:33] unless your needs are particularly complex, a 10-20 line iptables script should do it [15:36] qman__: oh i see :) [15:36] qman__: thanks [15:38] ufw & shorewall use iptables, so I'm not sure what that would solve... [15:39] surely the kernel supports some netfilter [15:39] so he would have to just avoid the bits that his kernel doesn't support [15:39] * jdstrand wanders off [15:40] yeah, if it doesn't have netfilter he can't firewall it [15:40] iptables is getting down to barebones [15:40] what kernel? (inside an openvz container) [15:41] most likely heller_barde doesn't have the rights to change the firewall from inside the openvz container [15:42] JanC: probably [15:47] yay, with iptables it worked well :D [15:47] interesting [15:48] withsome help from this: http://www.mista.nu/iptables/ [15:48] might be useful to see what ufw uses that isn't supported then [15:50] because what ufw does is create a bunch of netfilter rules based on its configuration, and use iptables to apply them [15:56] JanC: I don't know exactly how to figure that out... === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [16:58] How can I tell where a package came from?
