quietonewe changed from Centos to Ubuntu 12.04 for office samba server for XP boxes.  profiles were 'lost' and users can't change theme etc on new profiles.03:20
quietonei've been searching all week and have yet to find a fix. Any tips or reading suggestions welcome.03:20
quietoneAnd apologies for asking about XP here.03:22
sarnoldquietone: did you copy the samba configuration over wholesale? or just merge over the 'important' changes you might have made?03:23
quietonesarnold, my workmate did most of the work, so I am not sure how to answer. I know smb.conf is identical03:25
sarnoldquietone: is there anything interesting in the log files?03:26
sarnoldquietone: are file permissions on the drive correct? (users can write into their own directories...?)03:26
sarnoldquietone: time for me to bail, hope these help you figure it.. :)03:26
quietonesarnold, thanks03:27

docjayhey all - runner server 12.04.  Could someone give me a hand with 'libmysqlclient18' and 'percona-server-common-5.5'?14:15
docjaywhen I install one it removes the other and I need both to be installed14:16
docjayI'm stumped14:16
patdk-lapyou did something odd then14:23
patdk-lapcause they co-exist fine on my issue14:23
patdk-lapolder build of percona didn't play happy though14:23
patdk-laphmm actually, the ubuntu libmysqlclient18 gets replaced with the percona one, no issues14:27
patdk-lapused to be it wasn't named right, and caused issues14:27
docjayhey, thkx for your help14:29
docjayits a fresh install actually14:29
patdk-lapthere is only one catch I can think of14:29
patdk-lapI don't install the percona from their packages14:29
patdk-lapbut rebuild them into normal packages14:30
docjayoh, okay, what is the best way?14:30
patdk-lapnot sure if that makes a difference14:30
patdk-lapdo it this way for easy upgrades14:30
docjayhttp://pastebin.com/0aWXbXxC14:31
patdk-laphttps://launchpad.net/~patrickdk/+archive/general-lucid/+packages14:31
patdk-lapoh, that is the issue, libmysqlclient-dev14:31
patdk-lapwhy are you installing -dev?14:31
docjayI'm following a guide to install 'newznab14:32
docjayhttp://freek.ws/2012/12/02/basic-tutorial-on-how-to-install-newznab-on-ubuntu-12-04-64-bit/14:32
patdk-lapseems silly14:33
patdk-lapdo it without the -dev14:33
patdk-lapthe -dev is only needed if you compile stuff yourself14:33
patdk-lapand nothing on that page is getting compiled. so14:33
docjayk, lemme try14:34
docjayunable to locate 'libmysqlclient'14:34
=== slank_away is now known as slank
patdk-laphmm, I also wonder why they mention lenny14:36
patdk-lapoh well, don't use random instructions from people :)14:36
docjayyeah, I am using precise now14:36
docjay:)14:37
docjaywhat do you suggest14:37
patdk-lapya, and percona makes a precise build, so dunno why they would mix in a debian build14:37
patdk-laplets see14:37
patdk-lapremove all mysql stuff14:37
patdk-lapapt-get purge .*mysql.*14:37
patdk-lapadd percona repo for precise should do it14:38
patdk-lapthen start with installing percona-server-server-5.514:38
patdk-lapthen try the rest14:38
docjaywill do, adding the repo now14:39
=== slank is now known as slank_away
docjayfinally, the percona config started for me  ;)14:42
patdk-lapI'm upgrading my last ones from 5.1 to 5.5 right now :)14:43
docjaywhat do you think I should do about 'libmysqlcleint'?  you said that I really didn't need the -dev but it can't find it otherwise.14:44
docjaythanks for your help - how easy was that  :)14:47
patdk-lapheh?14:48
patdk-lapthe libmysqlclient is a metapackage, it will install libmysqlclient18 in your case14:48
docjayit all worked just fine.   thanks!14:49

Vasaand thanks for the help k1ng20:08
mdeslaurVasa: you likely need to reinstall if you chmodded your whole system. Permissions are now most likely in an insecure state.20:09
k1ng^ Vasa do as he said20:10
uvirtbotk1ng: Error: "Vasa" is not a valid command.20:10
k1ng ^ Vasa do as he said20:10
