[01:25] <briggz> 12.10 have a lot of issues or is it seemingly stable?
[02:29] <Iceman_B> hi all, I;ve got something funky going on with my eth0
[02:29] <Iceman_B> it seems that during the booting process, the ethernet card...turns off...or something
[02:29] <Iceman_B> this didnt use to be the case :/
[02:30] <Iceman_B> my router has a connection led lit when I turn the server on, but when Ubuntu starts....it turns off
[02:30] <Iceman_B> and then proceeds to sit there without a connection
[02:30] <Iceman_B> any ideas on how to fix this?
[03:33] <ablyss> Iceman_B, try static ?
[03:38] <Iceman_B> ablyss: it's a bit different
[03:38] <Iceman_B> its like the NIC powers off or something
[03:38] <Iceman_B> so I cant get it to have an IP in the first place
[03:38] <Iceman_B> and after a few reboots it seems up again
[03:38] <Iceman_B> this is erratic o_O
[03:39] <Iceman_B> I did ran a "lshw -class network" earlier, and it showed eth0(the NIC in question) to be 'disabled'
[03:39] <Iceman_B> so that would explain why it had no signal, even thoug ha cable was connected, but what could cause that>
[03:39] <Iceman_B> ?
[03:40] <ablyss> bad cable
[03:41] <Iceman_B> its a CAT6 cable, and it;s been left alone for quite a while, do cables go bad like that?
[03:41] <Iceman_B> it feels quite sturdy
[03:41] <ablyss> would be worth the effort to grab a spare
[03:42] <Iceman_B> that is true...
[03:42] <Iceman_B> I'll see if I can swipe one from work
[03:42] <Iceman_B> in the mean time, is there anything else that could cause a NIC to show up as 'disabled' ?
[03:44] <ablyss> dunno, never heard of such before
[03:45] <Iceman_B> mkay
[03:45] <Iceman_B> well thanks anyways

[13:25] <jwstolk> Hi, I'm trying to install 12.04 server (32-bit) from a SATA cd-rom to a SATA western-digital drive, on a Jetway NF9C-2600 motherboard (Intel atom).
[13:26] <jwstolk> After the keyboard detect, the cd-rom detect fails. at that point I can't see the CD-rom, nor the hard-disk in /dev/
[13:27] <jwstolk> booting with acpi=off and noapic did not help.
[13:28] <jwstolk> The only similar reports I could find where about installing from an ISO image on a virtial-machine, or from an USB-drive, while I'm using a real SATA cd-rom drive.
[13:30] <qman__> have you tried toggling your BIOS settings regarding what mode the drive is in? (AHCI vs Native IDE)
[13:30] <jwstolk> In the BIOS setup, the hard-disk and cd-rom drive is visable, and the cd-rom drive is obviously used during the first part of the ubuntu installation.
[13:30] <jwstolk> it's on IDE. I have not tryed AHCI.
[13:35] <jwstolk> I set both the (not used) 3 Gbit/s and the 6Gbit/s ports to AHCI, and it looks like it is working now.
[13:35] <jwstolk> thank you.
[13:56] <jwstolk> In the installer, when setting up partitions, it looks like 1 MB = 1000 KB = 2000 sectors  (not 1024) ?
[13:57] <qman__> yes
[13:57] <qman__> in linux and the associated software, MB refers to metric, while MiB refers to binary
[13:58] <jwstolk> ok. (I'm trying to match the partitions sizes on my external backup drive, which I configured using gparted, which used MiB)
[14:24] <jwstolk> hmm, even when entering the partition sizes in KB's, I still end up with a 46GB difference at the end of the drive (based on the sector count in the drive specifications).
[14:25] <jwstolk> I also can't enter the partition size in bytes, only KB's.
[14:29] <jwstolk> a 1 KB (1000 bytes) would be rounded down to 1 (512 bytes) sector. interesting.
[14:30]  * jwstolk started an libreOffice sheet for sector -> KB conversions...
[17:52] <spindritf> Hey, I have nginx from their repo deb http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ precise nginx and would like to automatically update nginx, will that Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {"${distro_id}:nginx";} in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades suffice?
[17:52] <spindritf> is that line correct? I'm fuzzy on what origin and archive mean in origin:archive, never run a deb repo
[18:00] <spindritf> was my question particularly ignorant or is no one around on Sunday?
[18:00] <TheLordOfTime> have patience
[18:00] <TheLordOfTime> :p
[18:00] <TheLordOfTime> its one of the off days
[18:01] <spindritf> yeah, I know, hence the follow-up, because sometimes your question can be so jaw-droppingly wrong that no one even bothers to answer, and sometimes there's just no one around
[21:39] <d3ngar> Hi there
[21:39] <d3ngar> I have a problem with my VPN server (pptpd)
[21:39] <d3ngar> Somehow it is running, but not listening to any port
[21:40] <d3ngar> Further to this, I thought I should have a virtual device in my network adapters (ppp0) that handles the connections to the VPN server
[21:40] <d3ngar> I am somewhat confused, as I just followed a guide to set it up and it was working prior to me reinstalling the system
[22:22] <Patrickdk> d3ngar, doesn't pptp use a protocol? not a port?
[23:21] <vs177015> yo
