[02:20] <nerd> do ubuntu-server uses packages as old as debain ??
[02:23] <andol> nerd: 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] <andol> nerd: Feel free to compare for yourself - http://packages.ubuntu.com/, http://packages.debian.org/
[02:24] <nerd> is ubuntu server quite stable compared to debian ?
[03:13] <stooj> Can anyone suggest a way of sharing/streaming a music library over a network? I used to use firefly but the project seems dead now.
[04:12] <pentagon> How can I update my hostname according to a reverse dns record the dhcp server is sending the wrong hostname
[04:15] <pentagon> I think it is going to need a script, so shot in the dark, does anyone have a script that will do this?
[04:15] <pentagon> Ive seen them out there for other distros and so forth.
[09:25] <pentagon> lol
[11:00] <mac_nibblet> HIho people!
[11:00] <mac_nibblet> I followed this guide on setting up a bridge networked for testing our virtualization
[11:01] <mac_nibblet> but when ever i add the configuration for br0 and restart the network (Throught the command listed, but the OS ssays is depreacated?)
[11:01] <mac_nibblet> the network just dies
[11:55] <cloakable> Does anyone here use the Pyroman firewall? Got a NAT question
[12:07] <mac_nibblet> Anyone awake :(?
[12:07] <cloakable> I am
[12:07] <mac_nibblet> ever done any network bridge for virtual machines o.0
[12:07] <mac_nibblet> ? :P
[12:37] <cloakable> nope
[12:58] <pmatulis> cloakable: you want to change your hostname?
[12:59] <cloakable> pmatulis: nope
[12:59] <pmatulis> cloakable: what then?
[13:00] <cloakable> I'm not sure how to setup NAT using Pyroman. The examples aren't exactly clear, and there's zero documentation.
[13:02] <cloakable> Hell, the XML examples aren't complete :P
[13:05] <pmatulis> cloakable: never heard of pyroman.  if you do not want to use iptables directly then the next thing i suggest using is ufw
[13:06] <pmatulis> https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/firewall.html
[13:08] <cloakable> I looked at that, it doesn't seem hugely useful for more complex setups. eth0 external, eth1 internal, with tunnel* as vpn tunnels :P
[13:11] <patdk-lap> ufw is almost the same as iptables directly
[13:12] <patdk-lap> shorewall is a nice abstract for it though
[13:12] <cloakable> Yeah, I'm torn between shorewall and pyroman. Pyroman seems simpler, though. I may look at shorewall again though.
[13:13] <patdk-lap> looks confusing
[13:13] <patdk-lap> shorewall has examples for most cases already in doc/shorewall/examples
[13:14] <cloakable> Yea, shorewall is much better documented
[16:25] <gyre007> is there any way guys how I can creat a Ubuntu boot disk on my USB disk without wiping out any data from it ?
[18:22] <LinuxAdmin> hi guys
[18:22] <LinuxAdmin> I'm getting troubles with ubuntu server 12.104 installation
[18:23] <LinuxAdmin> I installed software RAID partitions and I connote boot after updates
[18:23] <LinuxAdmin> I get grub rescue command prompt
[18:24] <LinuxAdmin> I tried a lot of things
[18:24] <RoyK> LinuxAdmin: detail your setup
[18:24] <RoyK> md raid or lvm?
[18:24] <LinuxAdmin> not install raid on first partition of the disk, reserve some space on the end of the disk for grub metadata
[18:24] <LinuxAdmin> md raid
[18:25] <LinuxAdmin> I made raid during installation
[18:25] <RoyK> my 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 drives
[18:25] <LinuxAdmin> I already installed previous versions of ubuntu server completely on raid partitions and I got no error
[18:25] <RoyK> you can't boot from raid-[56]
[18:26] <LinuxAdmin> I already created the first partition without raid and mounted /boot on it
[18:26] <LinuxAdmin> t's the same
[18:26] <LinuxAdmin> I get grub rescue command prompt
[18:26] <RoyK> type "exit"
[18:27] <RoyK> something might be screwed up
[18:27] <RoyK> earlier versions of 12.04 had an issue with mdadm starting too quickly, not waiting for udev to finish its work
[18:27] <LinuxAdmin> I installed from scratch a few times
[18:27] <RoyK> that's fixed in 12.04.1
[18:27] <RoyK> so type "exit" and let the system boot up, if it can
[18:28] <LinuxAdmin> the first times it could boot after installation, but after automatic updates I could not reboot anymore
[18:29] <LinuxAdmin> today I tried to install it and just after the installation I went to grub rescue
[18:29] <RoyK> did you try to type "exit" to let the system continue?
[18:29] <RoyK> do you read me?
[18:29] <LinuxAdmin> RoyK I didn't tried it
[18:29] <RoyK> try
[18:30] <RoyK> default installation of ubuntu 12.04 is to jump into busybox if a drive fails, which is bogus IMHO
[18:30] <RoyK> you should change that
[18:30] <LinuxAdmin> how can I change that?
[18:31] <RoyK> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootDegradedRaid
[18:32] <LinuxAdmin> I will read it
[18:32] <LinuxAdmin> thanks RoyK
[18:33] <RoyK> np
[18:49] <LinuxAdmin> RoyK, the page you supply is talking about booting a degraded raid array, that's not my case
[18:49] <LinuxAdmin> I ccnnot even boot
[18:50] <LinuxAdmin> I'm not at the office and I cannot try running "exit" on grub rescue command prompt, but I'll try it
[18:55] <RoyK> ok
