nerddo ubuntu-server uses packages as old as debain ??02:20
andolnerd: All depends on how recent release you are using, etc. Yet, given that Ubuntu releases happens more frequently than Debian releases it is more likely that the latest regular Ubuntu release will contain more up-to-date packages I guess.02:23
andolnerd: Feel free to compare for yourself - http://packages.ubuntu.com/, http://packages.debian.org/02:23
nerdis ubuntu server quite stable compared to debian ?02:24
stoojCan anyone suggest a way of sharing/streaming a music library over a network? I used to use firefly but the project seems dead now.03:13
pentagonHow can I update my hostname according to a reverse dns record the dhcp server is sending the wrong hostname04:12
pentagonI think it is going to need a script, so shot in the dark, does anyone have a script that will do this?04:15
pentagonIve seen them out there for other distros and so forth.04:15

pmatuliscloakable: you want to change your hostname?12:58
cloakablepmatulis: nope12:59
pmatuliscloakable: what then?12:59
cloakableI'm not sure how to setup NAT using Pyroman. The examples aren't exactly clear, and there's zero documentation.13:00
cloakableHell, the XML examples aren't complete :P13:02
pmatuliscloakable: never heard of pyroman.  if you do not want to use iptables directly then the next thing i suggest using is ufw13:05
pmatulishttps://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/firewall.html13:06
cloakableI looked at that, it doesn't seem hugely useful for more complex setups. eth0 external, eth1 internal, with tunnel* as vpn tunnels :P13:08
patdk-lapufw is almost the same as iptables directly13:11
patdk-lapshorewall is a nice abstract for it though13:12
cloakableYeah, I'm torn between shorewall and pyroman. Pyroman seems simpler, though. I may look at shorewall again though.13:12
patdk-laplooks confusing13:13
patdk-lapshorewall has examples for most cases already in doc/shorewall/examples13:13
cloakableYea, shorewall is much better documented13:14

LinuxAdminhi guys18:22
LinuxAdminI'm getting troubles with ubuntu server 12.104 installation18:22
LinuxAdminI installed software RAID partitions and I connote boot after updates18:23
LinuxAdminI get grub rescue command prompt18:23
LinuxAdminI tried a lot of things18:24
RoyKLinuxAdmin: detail your setup18:24
RoyKmd raid or lvm?18:24
LinuxAdminnot install raid on first partition of the disk, reserve some space on the end of the disk for grub metadata18:24
LinuxAdminmd raid18:24
LinuxAdminI made raid during installation18:25
RoyKmy favourite setup is: use a small mirror for /boot, use a larger mirror for / and use lvm on it for easy expansion, use raid-5 or -6 on data on separate drives18:25
LinuxAdminI already installed previous versions of ubuntu server completely on raid partitions and I got no error18:25
RoyKyou can't boot from raid-[56]18:25
=== cpg|away is now known as cpg
LinuxAdminI already created the first partition without raid and mounted /boot on it18:26
LinuxAdmint's the same18:26
LinuxAdminI get grub rescue command prompt18:26
RoyKtype "exit"18:26
RoyKsomething might be screwed up18:27
RoyKearlier versions of 12.04 had an issue with mdadm starting too quickly, not waiting for udev to finish its work18:27
LinuxAdminI installed from scratch a few times18:27
RoyKthat's fixed in 12.04.118:27
RoyKso type "exit" and let the system boot up, if it can18:27
LinuxAdminthe first times it could boot after installation, but after automatic updates I could not reboot anymore18:28
LinuxAdmintoday I tried to install it and just after the installation I went to grub rescue18:29
RoyKdid you try to type "exit" to let the system continue?18:29
RoyKdo you read me?18:29
LinuxAdminRoyK I didn't tried it18:29
RoyKtry18:29
RoyKdefault installation of ubuntu 12.04 is to jump into busybox if a drive fails, which is bogus IMHO18:30
RoyKyou should change that18:30
LinuxAdminhow can I change that?18:30

=== cpg is now known as cpg|away
LinuxAdminI will read it18:32
LinuxAdminthanks RoyK18:32
RoyKnp18:33
LinuxAdminRoyK, the page you supply is talking about booting a degraded raid array, that's not my case18:49
LinuxAdminI ccnnot even boot18:49
LinuxAdminI'm not at the office and I cannot try running "exit" on grub rescue command prompt, but I'll try it18:50
