| blair | is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCloud/Images/Publishing still accurate on how Ubuntu Cloud Images are created? | 01:02 |
|---|---|---|
| lifeless | blair: clearly not edited for a while, but its the sort of thing you don't need to futz with that much | 01:13 |
| lifeless | blair: smoser: will know | 01:13 |
| blair | lifeless, thx, i'm looking for the latest instructions since i want to build EC2 images with cloud-init but tweak some things, since the images are a good base for what i need | 01:14 |
| lifeless | blair: you could just build on the images that smoser builds; thats what we are doing | 01:15 |
| blair | lifeless, actually, i'm trying to get zfs as a root fs so i can snapshot, so i'm thinking i need to build the fs and then layer all packages on top of it | 01:16 |
| lifeless | you could just use ebs snapshots, much simpler ;) | 01:17 |
| blair | while the system is running? | 01:17 |
| lifeless | blair: as for transforming; take the ubuntu cloud image; make a zfs fs, copy the contents over; drop in whatever modules you need. | 01:18 |
| lifeless | blair: re live snapshots - http://serverfault.com/questions/79077/safe-to-use-an-amazon-ebs-volume-while-snapshot-in-progress | 01:19 |
| blair | lifeless, thx, i will try the transforming approach. i need the snapshot for getting a consistent backup between two different databases | 01:22 |
| lifeless | you can't use point in time backups for them ? | 01:23 |
| blair | one isn't even a real db system. it's a third party software solution that uses a db and flat files, with no guarenteed ordering between updates to both, so i want to stop the service, do a snapshot, and start it, all very quickly | 01:24 |
| blair | i have btrfs working on a KVM, but it looks little too risky for a SAAS with paying customers, so i'm looking at zfs and the nfs-native ppa | 01:25 |
| lifeless | you could use lvm snapshots more easily I suspect | 01:26 |
| blair | i've had a btrfs fs lock up on boot due to a bug in the orphan cleanup code and following the btrfs mailing list, they keep on finding stuff that looks risky | 01:26 |
| blair | lvm with xfs? | 01:27 |
| lifeless | use the stock image, use an EBS volume for data storage, and put lvm on that | 01:27 |
| lifeless | lvm with anything | 01:27 |
| blair | so umount the EBS long enough to do the snapshot? | 01:27 |
| blair | err, i mean, unmount the volume in the LVM | 01:28 |
| lifeless | huh, just snapshot it live | 01:28 |
| lifeless | thats the whole point of lvm :) | 01:28 |
| blair | don't you put a fs on top of lvm, so you would then mount the snapshot it would need to recover? | 01:29 |
| lifeless | stop your service; sync; lvm snapshot; start your service | 01:29 |
| lifeless | blair: the sync isn't needed with fs's that are lvm aware | 01:30 |
| lifeless | http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/snapshotintro.html | 01:30 |
| lifeless | blair: I don't know exactly which ones are aware | 01:31 |
| lifeless | blair: zfs has a raft of nice features but most of them are not unique to zfs :) | 01:31 |
| blair | right, it's just all in one nice layer with checksums ;) | 01:32 |
| lifeless | saves you from disk corruption but not memory faults ;) - you can checksum bad data very happily :) | 01:32 |
| blair | the URL says that snapshot will ask the fs to be in a consistent state, need to see if ext4 supports that | 01:32 |
| blair | lifeless, http://lwn.net/Articles/446618/ says there are ext4 patches for snapshotting that are outstanding as of June 8, 2011, i'll have to see if it made it into recent kernels | 01:35 |
| lifeless | blair: no, thats different | 01:42 |
| blair | lifeless, how so? | 01:43 |
| lifeless | blair: thats in-filesystem snapshots like btrfs or zfs | 01:43 |
| lifeless | blair: lvm aware support is -massively- simpler. | 01:43 |
| blair | lifeless, so i'm missing something then. this is my understanding.... lvm provides block devices and doesn't know about the fs. you can put any fs on top of lvm | 01:44 |
| blair | but if you snapshot at lvm level, you can have the fs be in an inconsistent state | 01:44 |
| blair | and xfs, ext{3,4} don't support in-fs snapshots | 01:44 |
| lifeless | right, but there is an in-kernel api to tell the fs a snapshot is happening | 01:45 |
| blair | right, that's what i meant, and i couldn't find confirmation that it's in ext4 | 01:46 |
| lifeless | it is | 01:46 |
| lifeless | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2010-August/012031.html | 01:46 |
| lifeless | shows analysis of a regression related to that code | 01:46 |
| lifeless | can't happen if it wasn't ;) | 01:46 |
| blair | oh, i misread the lwn article, there's a 'n' in 'next3' | 01:47 |
| blair | :) | 01:47 |
| xnox | blair: lvm snapshots with ext3/4 are rock solid. | 01:48 |
| blair | xnox, thx | 01:52 |
| lifeless | blair: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=c4be0c1dc4cdc37b175579be1460f15ac6495e9a | 01:55 |
| blair | lifeless: nice. because this question doesn't give one good feelings that it's supported on all kernels: http://serverfault.com/questions/79077/safe-to-use-an-amazon-ebs-volume-while-snapshot-in-progress | 01:56 |
| blair | that's your link, i meant this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1940093/ | 01:57 |
| lifeless | the answers are fairly clear it should all work | 01:58 |
| lifeless | the amount of ignorance out there is unbounded :) | 01:59 |
| blair | lifeless, i've gotten a healthy skepticism for the word "should" in answers, been burned by stuff that "should" work in production | 02:05 |
| lifeless | sure | 02:05 |
| blair | lifeless, thanks for the suggestions, its definitely a safer solution than zfs or btrfs, | 02:15 |
| zorky | hello, anyone who can help me. i need to setup a dhcp server using isc-dhcp-server . but i forgot how the dhcpd.conf should look like. | 02:37 |
| zorky | whats commented in the dhcpd.conf file is no use. it dosen't state what should be uncommented, so make it work. and i can't find any guide on how to setup dhcp | 02:41 |
| tedski | zorky: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/dhcp3-server | 02:41 |
| zorky | please explain. why i should use dhcp3 instead of isc-dhcp-server? | 02:43 |
| tedski | the configuration is the same | 02:44 |
| zorky | okay. but now comes the question. where do i put all that into the dhcpd.conf file? | 02:45 |
| tedski | what do you mean where? | 02:45 |
| zorky | the dhcpd.conf from dhcp3 . what do i copy into the dhcpd.conf from isc-dhcp-server? | 02:46 |
| tedski | i don't think you're understanding how it works | 02:46 |
| zorky | i do. the only reason why im asking for help now. is because it's the first time im seing this config file without it has been edited. | 02:47 |
| zorky | i work with linux servers at work. setting this up on a regulary basis. but i have never installed the dhcp service. because i allways roll out premade images, made by a coworker | 02:47 |
| tedski | when you install the isc-dhcp-server package, it will create /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf | 02:47 |
| tedski | open that file and read the comments | 02:48 |
| tedski | it explains each configuration parameter | 02:48 |
| tedski | you'll need to create a stanza for the subnet you wish to offer IPs for | 02:48 |
| tedski | and you have the option to push some things like dns servers, routers, etc. through that stanza | 02:49 |
| tedski | you can also do static-dhcp if you wish | 02:49 |
| tedski | at the minimum you'd have a default-lease-time, max-lease-time, authoritative, and subnet | 02:50 |
| tedski | does that make sense? | 02:51 |
| zorky | tedski, default-lease-time 600; | 02:51 |
| zorky | max-lease-time 7200; | 02:51 |
| zorky | option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; | 02:51 |
| zorky | option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; | 02:51 |
| zorky | option routers 192.168.1.254; | 02:51 |
| zorky | option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2; | 02:51 |
| zorky | option domain-name "mydomain.example"; | 02:51 |
| zorky | subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { | 02:51 |
| zorky | range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.100; | 02:51 |
| zorky | range 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.200; | 02:51 |
| zorky | } | 02:51 |
| zorky | as i recall. the dhcpd.conf look something like that. and only that from the work servers. | 02:51 |
| tedski | okay, do you understand what each option is saying? | 02:51 |
| zorky | somewhat. yes | 02:52 |
| RoyK | !pastebin | 02:52 |

| tedski | zorky: you'll want to put theoption statements into the subnet stanza | 02:52 |
| tedski | since they are specific to that subnet | 02:52 |
| tedski | zorky: also, if you don't have a need for 2 ranges, you might as well just remove one | 02:53 |
| zorky | it didn't work. and im getting anoyed i can't get it to work | 03:10 |
| zorky | can anyone send me a pastebin with a working dhcpd.conf file and your interface file? | 03:10 |
| zorky | anyone who will be kind and help me out with this? i need a dhcpd.conf and interface pastebin.? | 03:29 |

| Diegonat | hi guys! Do you know any software to monitor what users in the network do ? What website do they surf and for how long? | 10:57 |
| ogra_ | Diegonat, have a look at wireshark ... though that needs some level of background knowledge how networking and all its layers work | 11:11 |
| Diegonat | ogra_, but that is not a proper solution... is it not a workaround? | 11:11 |
| ogra_ | it is the best tool to see what packages go from where to where and which protocol they use | 11:12 |
| ogra_ | not sure how much more proper it can get :) | 11:13 |
| ogra_ | if you are not an experienced network admin the sheer amount of data it gives you might be a bit overwhelming ... | 11:13 |
| eagles0513875_ | hey guys im looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixAmavisNew does that setup spamassassin to use baysian filtering? | 11:27 |
| ikonia | eagles0513875_: no | 11:30 |
| ikonia | there is a link on that page to more detailed tuning, see if that does | 11:30 |
| eagles0513875_ | ikonia: that page does not exist yet | 11:30 |
| ikonia | then "no" is the short answer | 11:30 |
| eagles0513875_ | ikonia: ok but at least that is a good start for spam filtering which can be tweaked to use baysian filtering at a later point in time no? | 11:31 |
| ikonia | there is no setup defined, look at what it doesn' it just enables the default config | 11:31 |
| eagles0513875_ | ikonia: ok so i would need to read the documentation for amavis spamassassin and clamav and configure accordingly | 11:34 |
| ikonia | eagles0513875_: do you know how to do it without reading hte documentation ? | 11:34 |
| eagles0513875_ | sadly not i can read the man pages and figure things out that way | 11:35 |
| ikonia | ok, so there is your answer. Do you need to read the documentation, well as you don't know how to do it without reading the documentation, the answer is "yes" | 11:35 |
| ikonia | although to be honest, I think you are making a rod for your own back | 11:36 |
| ikonia | but that's up to you | 11:36 |
| eagles0513875_ | ikonia: seems like there is a really neat configuration tool for spamassassin cofiguration | 11:44 |
| eagles0513875_ | that will create the config | 11:44 |
| ikonia | I'd advise against it | 11:44 |
| ikonia | I'd advise you actually learn how to do it | 11:44 |
| eagles0513875_ | ok | 11:45 |
| ikonia | but then again - that is your normal approach, short cut, no understanding of how it works then ask in IRC to spoonfeed when it's broken | 11:45 |
| ikonia | totally up to you | 11:45 |
| eagles0513875_ | im actually goign to take your advice and read the documentation | 11:45 |
| Diegonat | ogra_, thank you but it is not what im looking for | 12:02 |
| Diegonat | Do you know any software to monitor what users in the network do ? What website do they surf and for how long? | 12:02 |
| histo | Diegonat: wireshark? | 12:47 |
| histo | Diegonat: there are a ton of network monitors now that I look | 12:49 |
| RoyK | Diegonat: erm - spying on users isn't good | 12:52 |
| RoyK | Diegonat: if you really want to, use a proxy and analyze the logs | 12:52 |
| === resno_ is now known as resno | ||
| Diegonat | histo, RoyK, my client wants it so I need to do it. However I need something to log their activity and an easy GUI for my client to use it... | 13:28 |
| RoyK | Diegonat: then setup transparent proxying | 13:28 |
| Diegonat | squid? | 13:28 |
| histo | Diegonat: nothing is jumping out at me i'm. Sure forums or askubuntu may help in your search. | 13:29 |
| RoyK | yes, but to do it transparently, you need a router supporting that | 13:29 |
| Diegonat | RoyK, I use an ubuntu server as router | 13:29 |
| RoyK | that works - iptables + squid for transparent proxying is easy | 13:29 |
| Diegonat | RoyK, but the logs will be file texts thta my client cannot see | 13:30 |
| RoyK | yes, then you need some sort of tool to visualize those logs | 13:30 |
| RoyK | I guess there are several out there | 13:30 |
| RoyK | or perhaps you should ask your client if it's legal, or morally good, to spy on employees | 13:31 |
| Diegonat | RoyK, I cannot find anything | 13:31 |
| Diegonat | RoyK, in england 80% of companies do that | 13:31 |
| RoyK | Diegonat: I don't know, and I don't want to help out either - it's morally low | 13:31 |
| RoyK | Diegonat: 7 billion flies can't be wrong: Eat shit! | 13:32 |
| Diegonat | RoyK, i agree | 13:32 |
| histo | Diegonat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers#Monitoring | 13:32 |
| Diegonat | histo, im not sure that is what i need | 13:33 |
| histo | Diegonat: http://nagios.org/ this looks promissing | 13:33 |
| Diegonat | histo, nagios is to monitor services status | 13:35 |
| Diegonat | I need something like http://www.awarenesstechnologies.com | 13:37 |
| Diegonat | but less intrusive | 13:37 |
| dannyjoris | hi, I set up Ubuntu Server as a VM in virtualbox, but I can't ping the IP. THe network settings are NAT & Host-Only. It's a fresh install so I assume I need to configure it. ANy idea how? | 13:38 |
| Diegonat | dannyjoris, if you can use bridge mode, easier | 13:39 |
| dannyjoris | Diegonat: yeah, but isn't that less secure? All my other VM's work with NAT & Host only | 13:41 |
| Diegonat | dannyjoris, depends on what you need | 13:41 |
| Diegonat | however it is difficult to troubleshot like that | 13:41 |
| Diegonat | do u have firewalls? | 13:41 |
| dannyjoris | it's just for testing purposes. I'm at home. | 13:42 |
| dannyjoris | so I guess I could just use bridged | 13:42 |
| Diegonat | yes | 13:42 |
| dannyjoris | :) | 13:43 |
| eagles0513875_ | ikonia: do you midn if i ask you a question regarding amavis and postfix | 14:23 |
| ikonia | sure, | 14:27 |
| ikonia | if I know it I'll answer | 14:28 |
| ikonia | I don't really use amavis though | 14:28 |
| histo | What do you use? | 14:29 |
| greetasdf | hi everyone! | 14:29 |
| ikonia | for spam filtering ? | 14:29 |
| ikonia | or for something else ? | 14:29 |
| histo | doesn't amavis just forward mail through spam and av filters? | 14:29 |
| ikonia | pretty much, it's a pass through | 14:30 |
| greetasdf | guys I really need some help, I deleted /usr/share/doc/openvpn/easy-rsa* with rm -r and can't find the package to reinstall this... what can I do? | 14:31 |
| greetasdf | I tried google and askubuntu for some time now and Im going crazy | 14:31 |
| ikonia | greetasdf: surly it would be part of openvpn ? | 14:32 |
| greetasdf | well I tried apt-get install --reinstall openvpn | 14:32 |
| greetasdf | :( | 14:32 |
| ikonia | and it's it just some documentation ? | 14:32 |
| greetasdf | well it contains specific files to openvpn config, which all tuts on openvpn start with | 14:32 |
| greetasdf | I'm sorta lost without them | 14:33 |
| ikonia | the config is held in the documentation directory ? that sounds wrong | 14:33 |
| greetasdf | this is the tut I was following https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/openvpn.html | 14:33 |
| greetasdf | although I'm on 12.04 | 14:33 |
| greetasdf | the cp command would be cp -r /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0/* /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/ | 14:34 |
| ikonia | ah, so you're copying the examples from the doucmentation to the config directory | 14:34 |
| greetasdf | exactly | 14:34 |
| greetasdf | and I wanted to do a fresh reinstall and thought it's a part of the openvpn package | 14:35 |
| greetasdf | fail :/ | 14:35 |
| ikonia | it should be part of it | 14:35 |
| ikonia | greetasdf: try removing the package / purging it and re-adding it | 14:35 |
| ikonia | the documentation should normally be in the base package | 14:35 |
| greetasdf | I tried apt-get remove --purge openvpn and reinstall | 14:35 |
| greetasdf | I only removed part of the documentation weirdly enough | 14:35 |
| ikonia | there is a command...apt-file (I think) that can tell you what package a file belongs to | 14:36 |
| ikonia | I don't have an ubuntu machine here to confirm the apt-file syntax | 14:36 |
| greetasdf | that would be great, let me check | 14:37 |
| greetasdf | ok so I thought I was being smart and apt-get removing openvpn and checking the doc files for leftovers | 14:47 |
| greetasdf | then using apt-file to identify the package | 14:47 |
| greetasdf | turns out the dir is empty | 14:47 |
| greetasdf | I'm clueless | 14:47 |
| greetasdf | can it be that hard to copy openvpn example files? I just couldn't find them anywhere online | 14:48 |
| ikonia | greetasdf: it's not hard to copy them if you use the right command, you are the one who removed them | 14:48 |
| greetasdf | yes I know it's my fault :) | 14:49 |
| greetasdf | but I thought it would be easy to copy them from somewhere else? | 14:49 |
| ikonia | such as ? | 14:49 |
| greetasdf | well if I knew that I wouldn't be a noob in this chatroom asking around... | 14:49 |
| greetasdf | I would get it and extract the files and copy them | 14:50 |
| greetasdf | :( | 14:50 |
| ikonia | greetasdf: I would concentrate on getting the package that supplies them corretly re-installed | 14:50 |
| ikonia | that would be the simplest approach | 14:50 |
| greetasdf | ha! see, I googled the openvpn package and found the files | 14:52 |
| greetasdf | ok so now I'm going to transfer the missing files from my windows 7 pc to ubuntu ... that really seems stupid | 14:52 |
| greetasdf | but thanks for the help | 14:52 |
| ikonia | greetasdf: as long as you are sure they are the same ones included in the ubuntu package | 14:52 |
| greetasdf | hm. | 14:53 |
| greetasdf | it says 2.2.1 but I think it installed 2.3 | 14:53 |
| greetasdf | I'm sure of it actually | 14:54 |
| greetasdf | thanks for the good point sir | 14:54 |
| greetasdf | but I guess http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openvpn will provide the newest packages no? | 14:55 |
| ikonia | it will provide you with versions for each release. | 14:55 |
| ikonia | I again suggest working out/fixing the broken package | 14:56 |
| greetasdf | but I tried everything, apt-get remove --purge and --reinstall and install :( | 14:56 |
| greetasdf | ok thanks, unfortunately I've run out of time, maybe it's because openvpn published a new version 2.3 which may be incompatible with any older tutorials... | 15:01 |
| greetasdf | have a great day | 15:02 |
| patdk-lap | heh? | 15:02 |
| patdk-lap | I haven't had any issues with 2.3 at all | 15:02 |

| bobka | I installed ubuntu 12.04 server LTS. grub menu comes up fine. Then vertical scrolling. ATI ES1000, old VGA monitor. Rig work with Knoppix Live CD. | 19:19 |
| bobka | Can't translate knoppix "nodrm" into grub - if that is the issue | 19:20 |
| bobka | lol - lotsa nicks - no traffic = no help? | 19:22 |
| ikonia | bobka: try being patient | 19:22 |
| bobka | ok! | 19:22 |
| xnox | bobka: nodrm is linux-kernel command line boot option.... | 19:23 |
| bobka | thx how do i tell grub that? | 19:23 |
| bobka | I couldn't find docs or anything on nodrm. Don't know the acronym. | 19:27 |
| bobka | I've set GRUB_GFXMODE=640X480X24 in etc/default/grub which is correct. And I've looked at headers in etc/grub.d, but I'm stuck. Don't think vsync or hsync are relevant. | 19:43 |

| tedski | bobka: he means in the kernel cmdline in grub | 20:22 |
| ikonia | bobka: adding a boot up option does not mean "join #ubuntu-kernel irc channel" | 20:23 |
| bobka | tedski okay, I assume grub> is the command line. what text? | 20:26 |
| tedski | bobka: google is your friend | 20:27 |
| tedski | bobka: "how to enter kernel options grub" would be a good start | 20:28 |
| bobka | brb - wait for me! :) | 20:29 |
| bobka | tedski - no DRM related options to the command line fixed the vertical scrolling | 21:21 |

| tedski | bobka: can you explain the problem more clearly? | 21:46 |
| bobka | my old vga crt rolls after grub menu. I know it is possible to fix because knoppix CD runs fine with a few parameters. what else would u like 2 know? | 21:51 |
| james2013 | hello | 21:54 |
| bobka | knoppix params: screen=640x480 depth=24 nodrm. I edited etc/default/grub > 640x480x24 | 21:54 |
| james2013 | is there a better guide to follow then this ? http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.04-lts-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3 or is this considered the best setup guide | 21:55 |
| tedski | bobka: that's a vsync issue | 21:56 |
| tedski | bobka: at least in my opinion | 21:56 |
| * tedski reminisces turning the vsync screws on the back of old tubes | 21:57 | |
| james2013 | tedski, i remember that also. But I also used to own arcade machines and had to deal with that often | 21:57 |
| tedski | james2013: "best" is subjective | 21:58 |
| bobka | ok. where does vsync=60 go? BTW I didn't need it in knoppix, although i had it added originally. | 21:58 |
| bobka | lol don't even know the hsync on this dinosaur. | 22:00 |
| tedski | why can't you just blink your eyes 60 times per second? | 22:00 |
| bobka | ...haven't tried that yet,... | 22:01 |
| bobka | no, doesn't work either | 22:02 |
| tedski | bobka: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers | 22:02 |
| * tedski & | 22:03 | |
| bobka | NO Tedski, 789 that is for resolution - been there, done that! | 22:04 |
| bobka | BTW, this monitor is pre VESA 2 | 22:05 |
| bobka | 1991 - Were you even born yet? | 22:05 |
| james2013 | tedski, know of a better guide ? | 22:07 |
| bobka | james: subjective as in what do you want to do with your server. | 22:10 |
| james2013 | bobka, standard web server mainly | 22:11 |
| bobka | ubuntu-12.04-lts-apache2 install comes with one button openssh dns lamp samba, etc.. | 22:12 |
| ikonia | one button ? | 22:13 |
| bobka | I don't remember if Apache2 was a seperate option. | 22:13 |
| ikonia | what the hell is ubuntu-12.040-lts-apache2 ? | 22:13 |
| bobka | tasksel | 22:13 |
| ikonia | why don't you just install apache....or the lamp group ? | 22:14 |
| bobka | my bad, ubuntu-12.04-lts | 22:14 |
| ikonia | why do you keep saying ubuntu-12.04-lts ? | 22:15 |
| bobka | exactly my point. | 22:15 |
| ikonia | sorry, am I missing what you're saying ? | 22:15 |
| james2013 | I was just asking because I searched google for ubuntu 12.04 server setup guide and that url was one of the first links | 22:16 |
| ikonia | james2013: https://help.ubuntu.com - there is a server guide | 22:16 |
| bobka | ikonia: read james previous entry | 22:16 |
| ikonia | james2013: installing an official product, considered reading official documentation ? | 22:16 |
| bobka | he has the howtoforge guide | 22:17 |
| ikonia | yes, and thats rubbish | 22:17 |
| bobka | lol | 22:17 |
| ikonia | why would you read 3rd party stuff over the official stuff ? | 22:17 |
| bobka | so, any help for my server install? | 22:18 |
| ikonia | you need to explain the problem | 22:18 |
| ikonia | rather than saying "any help" as that means nothing | 22:18 |
| bobka | [17:51] <bobka> my old vga crt rolls after grub menu. I know it is possible to fix because knoppix CD runs fine with a few parameters. | 22:19 |
| ikonia | "rolls"? | 22:20 |
| histo | bobka: pass the same parameters that you use in knoppix | 22:20 |
| bobka | yes rolls | 22:20 |
| ikonia | bobka: what do you mean my crt rolls ? | 22:20 |
| histo | ikonia: I think he means vsync | 22:20 |
| histo | That would be my guess | 22:20 |
| ikonia | histo: possibly....be nice if he could clarify | 22:21 |
| bobka | [17:54] <bobka> knoppix params: screen=640x480 depth=24 nodrm. I edited etc/default/grub > 640x480x24 | 22:21 |
| james2013 | sounds like you either have the wrong resolution set or the refresh rate | 22:21 |
| ikonia | bobka: /etc/default/grub won't change anything | 22:21 |
| ikonia | bobka: you need to rebuild the config | 22:21 |
| bobka | good to know! | 22:21 |
| histo | ikonia: edit /etc/default/grub and sudo update-grub | 22:21 |
| ikonia | yes, I know how to do it | 22:21 |
| bobka | I don't, please explain? | 22:22 |
| ikonia | pretty much exactly what histo has just said | 22:22 |
| bobka | already did that. (many times) | 22:23 |
| ikonia | bobka: what parameters did you add to your /etc/defaut/grub | 22:23 |
| histo | ikonia: sorry didn't mean to send it to you. | 22:23 |
| ikonia | histo: not a problem | 22:24 |
| histo | bobka: hvae you tried booting with nomodeset kernel option? | 22:24 |
| bobka | the issue seems to be nodrm. i added that as a kernel option, but no luck. | 22:24 |
| ikonia | bobka: what parameters did you add to your /etc/defaut/grub | 22:24 |
| histo | !nomodeset | bobka | 22:25 |
| ubottu | bobka: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 22:25 |
| bobka | like GFX_mode=640x480x24 | 22:25 |
| ikonia | bobka: what parameters did you add to your /etc/defaut/grub | 22:26 |
| bobka | I read grub & grub2 no help. | 22:27 |
| ikonia | bobka: what parameters did you add to your /etc/defaut/grub | 22:27 |
| ikonia | actually - I'm tired of asking | 22:27 |
| ikonia | good luck, I'm not interested any more | 22:28 |
| bobka | thx buddy | 22:28 |
| dannyjoris | I'm fairly new to server configuration, but is it ok to have php5-dev installed on a production environment? There's some pecl libraries that are dependent on it. | 22:39 |
| ikonia | dannyjoris: not something I'd recommend especially if you have compilers there too | 22:42 |

| bobka | I had GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480x24 . But adding GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset" fixed the problem!! | 22:55 |
