[00:55] <pmatulis> TheLordOfTime: of course, with apt pinning (or aptitude holding)

[10:02] <Flynsarmy> I created an array with sudo mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 and rebooted. /dev/md0 no longer exists after reboot but /dev/md127 and /dev/md/xbmc:0 do…why is that? I've added ARRAY /dev/md0 metadata=1.2 name=xbmc:0 UUID=3dcfe843:c2300a40:75190922:f6caf9c7 to /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf

[11:07] <samba35> ok
[11:07] <samba35> let me check that thanks

[13:41] <tdn> Can I install Ubuntu Server on a USB pendrive so that I can use it on a computer with no hard drive?
[13:43] <maswan> sure
[13:46] <RoyK> tdn: no problem
[13:47] <RoyK> tdn: there are apps for windows and linux to do that
[13:47] <tdn> RoyK, which ones for linux? (KDE=
[13:47] <tdn> )
[13:47] <tdn> RoyK, what do I need to consider in order to optimize performance when installing linux on a USB flash drive?
[13:49] <RoyK> get a fasat pendrive
[13:49] <mfraz74> is it possible to purge packages from squid deb proxy's cache?
[14:00] <samba35> i am trying to extract .gz which is 24 mb but it could not unzup the file even after 20 mints  and check with ubuntu desktop it show that folder is locked and cross
[14:02] <RoyK> mfraz74: as in "apt-get purge squid3" ?
[14:03] <RoyK> samba35: no idea about desktop icons etc - I don't use that on servers :P
[14:03] <samba35> you are one of the true server user :)
[14:03]  * RoyK uses a mac for desktop things ;)
[14:04] <samba35> but any idea why does it so much of time ,seems locked
[14:04] <samba35> max file reached ?
[14:04] <samba35> which version osx on mac
[14:04] <mfraz74> RoyK: No, I want to get rid of the old packages that squid-deb-proxy has cached
[14:04] <RoyK> no idea - is this a single gz file or a gzipped tar ball?
[14:05] <samba35> ok
[14:05] <RoyK> mfraz74: oh, you mean empty the squid cache+
[14:05] <RoyK> ?
[14:05] <mfraz74> RoyK: yes
[14:05] <mfraz74> but not remove all of them
[14:05] <samba35> RoyK: which version os mac osx ?
[14:09] <RoyK> mfraz74: not sure, but the store log may tell
[14:23] <tdn> Where do I get an install image that does not require PAE?
[14:26] <RoyK> erm... 8.04? ;)
[14:27] <RoyK> tdn: got an old pc?
[15:02] <RoyK> tdn: just tested a bit here, and lucid seems to boot without PAE
[15:03] <RoyK> requirung PAE seems a bit silly, though, although from 12.10 there's no 32bit server install
[15:05] <samba35> RoyK: ubuntu owe you ??? us$/day
[15:05] <samba35> ??? ==how much dont know
[15:10] <TheLordOfTime> tdn, Lucid.
[15:10] <TheLordOfTime> 10.04 :P
[15:11] <TheLordOfTime> i'm not sure if 12.04 requires PAE or not.  I didn't check :P
[15:11] <TheLordOfTime> since all my servers run 64bit.
[15:16] <RoyK> TheLordOfTime: I just tried with virtualbox - it doesn't work without PAE. Lucid and back works well
[15:17] <TheLordOfTime> RoyK, okay, so 12.04 required PAE.
[15:17] <TheLordOfTime> good to know
[15:17] <RoyK> and 12.10 server does not (since it requires 64bit instead :P)
[15:18] <TheLordOfTime> indeed.
[15:22] <TheLordOfTime> RoyK, to confirm my knowledge, any EOL release's repositories disappearify from the mirrorsright?  therefore bugs against EOL releases about not installiung software are Invalid?
[15:23] <TheLordOfTime> (if you know)
[15:30] <TheLordOfTime> nevermind, got an answer :P
[16:20] <RoyK> TheLordOfTime: what was the answer?
[16:26] <patdk-lap> hmm?
[16:26] <patdk-lap> 12.04 dumped the non-pae kernel
[16:26] <patdk-lap> the 32bit pae kernel should work for most all systems, if they do or don't support pae
[16:27] <patdk-lap> the only known exception to that, that I know of, is if the cpu supports pae, but the motherboard screws it over, I have a motherboard like that
[16:38] <RoyK> patdk-lap: non-pae cpus won't boot with 12.04
[16:39] <RoyK> but then, pae saw light first in the PentiumII days around 1995, so I guess it shouldn't be a problem for most users
[16:39] <patdk-lap> I thought I had it booting on non-pae cpu's
[16:40] <patdk-lap> but I can't claim I own any anymore, and I finished dumping all 32bit installs a few months ago
[16:40] <RoyK> I just tried with 12.04.1 on vbox, disabling PAE
[16:40] <patdk-lap> dunno about vbox, I would have done a real system
[16:41] <RoyK> amount of users on 32bit is rather low these days
[16:41] <RoyK> heh
[16:41] <patdk-lap> but it would have been about a year ago, closer to 12.04 release time
[16:41] <RoyK> I don't own a 32bit machine (well, one, but that's ARM)
[16:41] <qman__> that's not a pae issue, it's an i686 issue
[16:42] <qman__> really old chips aren't i686, so they need the linux-386 kernel to work
[16:42] <qman__> but yeah, it's a non-issue PII and newer
[16:43] <patdk-lap> qman, you calling my pentium D 930, non i686?
[16:43] <qman__> no, I was referring to the old chips
[16:43] <patdk-lap> supports pae :0
[16:43] <patdk-lap> win't boot a pae eneabled kernel
[16:43] <patdk-lap> cause motherboard is funky
[16:44] <qman__> for example, the AMD K6 series is only i586
[16:44] <patdk-lap> motherboard won't allow me to boot with pae or 64bit, though cpu supports both
[16:45] <qman__> 12.04 doesn't have the -386 kernel anymore
[16:45] <patdk-lap> -386 was dropped long before 12.04
[16:46] <qman__> it's in 10.04, which is what I'm running on my K6
[16:46] <RoyK> qman__: well, testing 12.04 with virtualbox, it fails to boot if I disable PAE, works well with PAE
[16:47] <qman__> hmm
[16:48] <qman__> all of my non-pae systems died recently, except for the K6
[16:48] <RoyK> the y2012 problem, I guess
[16:48] <qman__> heh, not really
[16:49] <qman__> I had a couple old P4s still running but they crapped out
[16:49] <RoyK> y2old
[16:49] <patdk-lap> I dropped support for all non-pcie only systems personally
[16:49] <qman__> I keep the K6 because it will outlast the rest
[16:50] <qman__> everything else is being replaced though
[16:50] <qman__> in fact I just put together a new one to virtualize the ones that died

[21:33] <javaJake> I've got SSH access to remote hardware running XenServer, and I'm attempting to do a fresh Ubuntu Server installation.
[21:35] <javaJake> (oops, ruined the one-line rule) What's the best way to install Ubuntu Server if all I have is SSH via XenServer? There doesn't appear to be a serial console either, but I bet I could get one if you guys think SSH is a bad idea.

[21:39] <patdk-lap> ideally you can install it to a seperate partition/drive
[21:40] <patdk-lap> then install grub on the boot drive

[22:28] <jn_> and idea what this could be ? perhaps some file permission or logformat issue ?
[22:28] <jn_> any *
