| Leroy91 | I'm trying to get my machine to go into standby and wake up on it's own at certain times, which I can do with a simple bash script on a cron job but I'm wondering (since I'm running an enterprise level server) if anyone has been able to reduce fan speed during standby time | 02:04 |
|---|---|---|
| Leroy91 | The BIOS has no settings available to change fan speed | 02:04 |
| Leroy91 | it's an IBM xServe 346 running 12.04 | 02:04 |
| sarnold | Leroy91: check /sys/ for '*fan*' files, there are sometimes fan controls in there.. | 02:06 |
| Leroy91 | i'm only seen block, class, devices, fs, kernel, power, bus, dev, firmware, hypervisor, and module | 02:09 |
| Leroy91 | doing find fan and locate fan also did not come up with results | 02:09 |
| sarnold | Leroy91: hrm. I wonder if the fan controls I have on my laptop came from a kernel module that lm-sensors enabled; have you run sensors-detect on this machine? maybe there's a kernel module to load.. | 02:10 |
| Leroy91 | installed and rebooting now...RAID array takes at least 5min to initialize haha | 02:12 |
| Leroy91 | ok i've run sensors-detect...it says No modules to load :/ | 02:15 |
| sarnold | darn :/ | 02:15 |
| Leroy91 | Driver `to-be-written': | 02:16 |
| Leroy91 | * ISA bus, address 0xca8 | 02:16 |
| Leroy91 | Chip `IPMI BMC KCS' (confidence: 8) | 02:16 |
| Leroy91 | Note: there is no driver for IPMI BMC KCS yet. | 02:16 |
| Leroy91 | Check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for updates. | 02:16 |
| Leroy91 | No modules to load, skipping modules configuration. | 02:16 |
| Leroy91 | Unloading i2c-dev... OK | 02:16 |

| xIlluzionx | Hello | 02:16 |
| Leroy91 | I find it hard to believe IBM would not have better linux support on such a server...even if it is from 2005 | 02:17 |
| xIlluzionx | I am looking for some assistance with boot issues after a 13.10 server installation | 02:17 |
| Leroy91 | what did you try installing it on? | 02:17 |
| xIlluzionx | Intel® Core™ i5-3570K Processor, Gigabyte Intel Z77 LGA 1155 Motherboard | 02:19 |
| xIlluzionx | On it's own dedicated SSD | 02:19 |
| Leroy91 | have you enabled AHCI in your BIOS? | 02:19 |
| xIlluzionx | I can check | 02:20 |
| xIlluzionx | Sata mode is set to AHCI | 02:20 |
| Leroy91 | is it a fresh install? | 02:21 |
| xIlluzionx | Yes, this is my first time using Linux | 02:21 |
| xIlluzionx | I allowed the install to use the full disk | 02:21 |
| Leroy91 | any other OS on the machine? | 02:22 |
| Leroy91 | maybe another hDD? | 02:22 |
| xIlluzionx | only one HDD in the machine | 02:22 |
| Leroy91 | hm | 02:22 |
| Leroy91 | is it necessary you use 13.10? | 02:22 |
| xIlluzionx | I can get the boot to show the GRUB loaded | 02:22 |
| xIlluzionx | I tried 12.X but it kept rebooting in the middle of the installation | 02:22 |
| Leroy91 | have you tried 13.04? | 02:23 |
| xIlluzionx | Would there be anything useful at the command screen, I can pull that up through the GRUB selector | 02:23 |
| xIlluzionx | no | 02:23 |
| Leroy91 | oh so yo ucan get to terminal window ok? | 02:24 |
| xIlluzionx | If I hit "c" at the grub loader screen | 02:24 |
| Leroy91 | try the command: startx | 02:24 |
| Leroy91 | ah..wait this is server OS right? | 02:24 |
| xIlluzionx | if I select "Ubuntu" from the loader screen, it gets to the terminal and then reboots | 02:25 |
| xIlluzionx | yes | 02:25 |
| xIlluzionx | cannot find command startx | 02:25 |
| Leroy91 | yeah theres no gui for server, you should only see terminal when it boots | 02:25 |
| xIlluzionx | yes, but it reboots once it gets to the terminal | 02:25 |
| Leroy91 | i see | 02:25 |
| sarnold | xIlluzionx: hrm, I'm confused.. do you get a <servername> login: prompt? | 02:25 |
| xIlluzionx | I get to there, and then a reboot | 02:26 |
| xIlluzionx | before I can type | 02:26 |
| sarnold | *boggle* | 02:26 |
| Leroy91 | try 13.04...it may be more stable | 02:26 |
| xIlluzionx | I can access a command screen by pressing "c" during the boot | 02:26 |
| sarnold | xIlluzionx: try adding "single" to the kernel command line in grub (I think that's the 'c' you used earlier) -- maybe you can find out what is going on by checking the logs in /var/log/ ... | 02:27 |
| sarnold | 'single' will skip nearly everything, it ought to just mount your root filesystem and then drop you to a shell. | 02:27 |
| xIlluzionx | what is a file viewer, i'm use to "less" on mac | 02:28 |
| xIlluzionx | doesnt work here | 02:28 |
| xIlluzionx | I can look at boot.log | 02:28 |
| Leroy91 | i had a similar issue a few years ago when i tried to install 11.x on a machine that was P4 error and only 10.04 was supported on that version of the P4 cpu...haven't heard of the issue on a modern machine | 02:28 |
| Leroy91 | it's ls | 02:28 |
| sarnold | xIlluzionx: 'less' is nice, it lets you backup; but 'more' also works, and might be available if 'less' isn't. | 02:29 |
| Leroy91 | *era.. | 02:29 |
| xIlluzionx | grub cannot find command more | 02:29 |
| xIlluzionx | trying to do "less /var/log/boot.log" | 02:29 |
| sarnold | xIlluzionx: ah, yeah, grub won't do that. | 02:29 |
| xIlluzionx | vi does not work either | 02:30 |
| sarnold | xIlluzionx: maybe I jumped the gun -- edit hte kernel command line to add 'single' to the command, and then proceed with the boot... | 02:30 |
| xIlluzionx | I'm sorry but I need you to dumb that down for me just a bit | 02:30 |
| xIlluzionx | I'm fairly competent with command line but linux is brand new to me | 02:30 |
| sarnold | xIlluzionx: when you're presented with the list of "ubuntu" and "ubuntu (safemode)" (or whatever it is..) there is a key combination you can hit to edit the 'kernel command line'. it'll have things like "splash" and "ro" and "quiet" in it.. | 02:32 |
| xIlluzionx | hmmm I dont see anything about the kernal | 02:32 |
| sarnold | xIlluzionx: you'll want to add 'single' to that command line, and then boot the system with the modified entry -- that will bring the system up into single-user mode | 02:32 |
| sarnold | ah, looks like it's 'e' in grub: http://askubuntu.com/a/132983/33812 | 02:33 |
| xIlluzionx | alright, "e" pulled up a new screen | 02:34 |
| xIlluzionx | is there any specific place to add single | 02:34 |
| sarnold | it should work just about anywhere but I always put it at the end... | 02:35 |
| xIlluzionx | currently: "setparams 'Ubuntu' \ recordfail \ load_video \ gfx... | 02:35 |
| xIlluzionx | cannot find command "single" | 02:36 |
| sarnold | *sigh* my VMs start way too fast, the thing is booted while the stupid vnc window is flickering around... | 02:38 |
| xIlluzionx | lol | 02:38 |
| sarnold | jeeze, you think there'd be a billion youtube videos "lol bypass linux root password lol" showing how to do this but I can't find one. I need a kid to teach me google. | 02:41 |
| sarnold | or a book to teach me google. | 02:41 |
| xIlluzionx | http://imgur.com/wYCGumg | 02:41 |
| sarnold | xIlluzionx: *sigh* sorry :) | 02:41 |
| xIlluzionx | ^ thats what I am looking at | 02:42 |
| sarnold | xIlluzionx: can you edit that 'linux' line and add 'quiet' immediately after 'ro'? it'd be "ro quiet" at the end of it... | 02:42 |
| xIlluzionx | trying | 02:43 |
| xIlluzionx | ffs | 02:44 |
| xIlluzionx | nope, still gets to a login screen and then crashes | 02:44 |
| sarnold | :( | 02:44 |
| xIlluzionx | fucking irritating | 02:44 |
| === Mapley is now known as letmechangemynic | ||
| === letmechangemynic is now known as Mapley | ||
| sarnold | yeah, I'm getting upset not being able to catch grub in my VM boots. it'd be worse if it were real hardware that was upsetting me.... | 02:47 |
| xIlluzionx | yea | 02:47 |
| sarnold | xIlluzionx: okay, this whole thing was to try to get to log messages. maybe another approach -- try a liveCD? try a different release installer? | 02:47 |
| xIlluzionx | i wanted to ditch osx in favor of ubuntu, but this is proving to be very problematic | 02:48 |
| xIlluzionx | i guess i will try another install | 02:48 |
| xIlluzionx | :/ | 02:48 |
| xIlluzionx | 12.04.03 okay? | 02:49 |
| sarnold | yeah, that should be good, I think it got the EUFI support backported from newer releases, in case your machine requires that... | 02:49 |
| sarnold | .. (but it ought to work on non-eufi bioses too) | 02:49 |
| xIlluzionx | bios is set to achi | 02:50 |
| xIlluzionx | ahci | 02:50 |
| xIlluzionx | every single time i try to use 12.04 i get to the install screen, it loads, i select install ubuntu, it reboots | 02:52 |
| xIlluzionx | i have no luck | 02:52 |
| sarnold | o_O very strange | 02:52 |
| xIlluzionx | let me ask you this, can ubuntu non server still be used as a serveR? | 02:53 |
| jrwren | of course. what is a server anyway? | 02:54 |
| sarnold | xIlluzionx: yes -- the main differences are there's no GUI installed on the server by default and the server doesn't use networkmanager to manage the network interfaces; instead, /etc/network/interfaces is used | 02:54 |
| xIlluzionx | All I need this server for is to run a minecraft server with mysql databases and apache | 02:55 |
| sarnold | time for me to run, good luck :) | 02:56 |
| sarnold | (and have fun :) | 02:56 |
| srtfmx | I am stuck for a week in doing pxeboot ubuntu via a centos pxeserver over tftp+ftp | 03:30 |
| srtfmx | is this possible to do so via ftp or the only way is to do via nfs | 03:30 |
| srtfmx | help me please i am very frustrated at present over this | 03:31 |
| srtfmx | Anybody there ????? | 03:32 |
| MavKen | would any of you recommend against using 13.10 on production server? | 03:39 |
| monokrome | Hey. Does the server installer run SSH by defaukt? | 04:47 |
| monokrome | default* | 04:48 |
| monokrome | I have a machine without a monitor and am attempting to install Ubuntu on it. | 04:48 |
| xgeek-cub | hello | 04:56 |
| xgeek-cub | anyone knows how to install wgetpaste? | 05:14 |
| xgeek-cub | please; i am tired; | 05:14 |
| monokrome | Ubuntu doesn't have a package for it | 05:15 |
| monokrome | You can use a service like sprunge that only requires something like curl to be installed | 05:15 |
| monokrome | for instance: ls | curl -F "sprunge=<-" http://sprunge.us | 05:16 |
| monokrome | will send the output of ls out to a sprunge link and output the link for you | 05:16 |
| monokrome | xgeek-cub: ^ | 05:16 |
| monokrome | If curl isn | 05:16 |
| monokrome | isn't available, sudo apt-get install curl | 05:16 |
| xgeek-cub | ok so just curl? | 05:16 |
| monokrome | right | 05:16 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome: and it just works with sprunge | 05:19 |
| monokrome | curl is just an http service | 05:19 |
| monokrome | curl just sends the output to that http service and gives you a link to it | 05:20 |
| monokrome | There has to be some Ubuntu installer that starts SSHD immediately on boot | 05:32 |
| monokrome | amirite? | 05:32 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome: curl: (56) recv failure: connection reset by peer | 05:35 |
| monokrome | No network? | 05:35 |
| monokrome | I have a machine with two hard disks running Mac OS X and I need to install Ubuntu Server on it, but it doesn't have a monitor. Does anyone have ideas regarding how I can achieve this? | 05:36 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome: no i have ping | 05:36 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome: ssh bro; ssh in to it you do not need a monitor | 05:37 |
| monokrome | xgeek-cub: How do I enabled SSH without the monitor? | 05:38 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome: tell me exactly what is the situation | 05:38 |
| monokrome | I have a Mac Mini Server that I want to install Ubuntu on | 05:40 |
| monokrome | I have no monitor. | 05:40 |
| monokrome | That's the problem | 05:43 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome: is that Machine online; has it internet connection? | 05:43 |
| monokrome | yes | 05:43 |
| xgeek-cub | or at least on a local network? | 05:43 |
| monokrome | It's on my local network, I have access to the physical hardware | 05:44 |
| xgeek-cub | if yes; go to anyother machine and " ssh -p <port_number> <IP_address>" | 05:44 |
| monokrome | xgeek-cub: How is SSH running? I'm trying to install Ubuntu server. It's in the OS from the USB disk. | 05:45 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome: any ubuntu is shipped with ssh server installed; even in livecd or in your case liveusb | 05:46 |
| monokrome | Is it running by default in them? | 05:46 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome: yes by default; | 05:48 |
| monokrome | oh hmm | 05:48 |
| * monokrome must not be properly booting it to Ubuntu then | 05:49 | |
| monokrome | xgeek-cub: You sure? | 05:52 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome: of what? that the ubuntu livecd has ssh server running on it; yes sure; the way you are approaching your problem not so much | 05:53 |
| monokrome | What's wrong with the way which I am approaching my problem? | 05:54 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome: if you want to insatll ubuntu on a mac server; 1. does this server have os on it right now? 2.if yes you want the ubuntu to remove the os and take over or sit beside that os | 05:55 |
| monokrome | I want to completely wipe out everything on it and install Ubuntu Server, which is what I am planning on doing once I can find a service. | 05:56 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome: wait | 05:59 |
| monokrome | ok | 06:00 |
| xgeek-cub | at this time you have this server ok? how you access it (forget about useb; ubuntu ....) | 06:00 |
| xgeek-cub | *usb | 06:01 |
| monokrome | OS X | 06:01 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome: so it has osx; but you said you donot have monitor yes? | 06:01 |
| monokrome | correct | 06:01 |
| monokrome | I have SSH and VNC into OS X | 06:02 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome : What from where? | 06:02 |
| monokrome | what? | 06:02 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome : right now you have a laptop for example and you ssh to your Mini server or VNC to it; Yes? | 06:03 |
| monokrome | yes | 06:03 |
| monokrome | and I am trying to get Ubuntu Server on it instead. | 06:03 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome : do you have physical access to this Mini server of yours | 06:03 |
| monokrome | yes | 06:04 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome : i got the ubuntu part | 06:04 |
| monokrome | ok | 06:04 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome: What is the machine you use to connect to your server? is it ubuntu or anyother linux? | 06:05 |
| monokrome | I have a Macbook Pro and a Macbook Air for that | 06:05 |
| monokrome | The have Linux VMs | 06:06 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome : i did some reading;the idea is to connect an ubuntu livecd or usb to your mini server and make that mini server boot from it | 06:14 |
| monokrome | Yes, I am already doing that with the Ubuntu Server USB disk | 06:15 |
| monokrome | The USB installer doesn't have SSH as far as I can tell. | 06:15 |
| xgeek-cub | if you could do that and now you have a successful boot ; you have some shoot at doing it but it is risky | 06:15 |
| monokrome | Why is it risky? | 06:16 |
| xgeek-cub | let me brak it down | 06:16 |
| xgeek-cub | 1. that ubuntu you use is not working | 06:16 |
| monokrome | yes it is | 06:16 |
| xgeek-cub | you need an alter image | 06:17 |
| monokrome | no I don't | 06:17 |
| monokrome | You probably read an old article | 06:17 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OverSSH | 06:18 |
| monokrome | I know how to do it all and have done it multiple times | 06:19 |
| monokrome | The only problem that I have is that I don't have a monitor | 06:19 |
| monokrome | So, my original question simply regards what I could use as an alternate interface without using a premade install via bootp or some script? | 06:20 |
| xgeek-cub | did you read that link | 06:20 |
| monokrome | yes | 06:20 |
| monokrome | It's not helpful, however. | 06:20 |
| monokrome | I'm in the Ubuntu installer and sshd is not running | 06:22 |
| qman__ | my disk filled up during an update and now /boot/grub is missing files, how do I regenerate them? | 06:22 |
| qman__ | I tried purging and reinstalling grub and grub-common but it doesn't do the trick | 06:23 |
| monokrome | I do not have a monitor, so I try hitting alt+F4 to reach TTY4 | 06:23 |
| monokrome | at which point I have typed enter 3 times to ensure a shell | 06:23 |
| monokrome | and typed sshd but no luck | 06:23 |
| monokrome | I can ping the machine, however | 06:23 |
| qman__ | ah, it was grub-pc, not grub | 06:26 |
| monokrome | =] | 06:26 |
| monokrome | nmap reports: All 1000 scanned ports on 10.0.1.10 are closed | 06:26 |
| monokrome | I wonder if I can just dd a system out to it in target disk mode | 06:29 |
| monokrome | I don't think that SSH runs on the Ubuntu Server installer until you've turned it on manually, xgeek-cub. | 06:35 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome : you are right; | 06:47 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome: ; Parted Magic starts sshd on boot. I am not sure if root is allowed to login, but the root password would be "partedmagic" However, you need to be connected by wire. | 06:48 |
| xgeek-cub | but in you case i can't think of other ways | 06:49 |
| xgeek-cub | yes you could find a ubuntu machine and make in PXE install server then you could be able to boot your mini server into PXE | 06:50 |
| xgeek-cub | or you could detach the hdds and formated them and install ubuntu on them | 06:50 |
| mardraum | monokrome: from your shell, type "apt-get install openssh-server" | 07:41 |
| monokrome | /me thinks that nobody realizes the problem | 07:45 |
| monokrome | Does anyone know why the Ubuntu Server 13.x installer doesn't come with fdisk or parted? | 07:46 |
| xgeek-cub | monokrome: i just did fdisk in my server and it is installed 13.10 is the version of my ubuntu | 08:32 |
| monokrome | hmm | 08:32 |
| monokrome | I got a different ISO and found a roommate for using his TV | 08:32 |
| monokrome | now I'm installing | 08:32 |
| mardraum | monokrome: what is the problem? | 08:37 |
| monokrome | There isn't one now | 08:38 |

| Phog | so i do a bunch of superblock searches through my devices and it finds studd | 13:28 |
| Phog | stuff | 13:28 |
| Phog | but i can't remove them | 13:28 |
| Phog | this partition fucking sucks | 13:28 |
| Phog | is there no easy way to jut blasts away the disks data? | 13:28 |
| Phog | *just | 13:28 |
| pmatulis_ | Phog: is there any fakeraid that may be enabled? | 13:29 |
| Phog | i tried to install with software raid | 13:29 |
| Phog | and it failed to write to grub or something | 13:29 |
| Phog | now i can't delete the md created array | 13:29 |
| pmatulis_ | Phog: i would enter your BIOS and ensure there is no fakeraid enabled | 13:30 |
| Phog | no fakeraid | 13:30 |
| pmatulis_ | Phog: sometimes that screws things up | 13:30 |
| Phog | it's a proliant dl380 | 13:30 |
| pmatulis_ | ok | 13:30 |
| Phog | even if there was, all my drives are through storage HBA's | 13:30 |
| Phog | can i just DD the fuckers? | 13:31 |
| pmatulis_ | Phog: but it does have hardware raid right? | 13:31 |
| mardraum | yes, use dd. | 13:31 |
| pmatulis_ | Phog: and please be respectful with your language | 13:31 |
| Phog | i don't want to wait for it to 0 | 13:31 |
| Phog | ok | 13:31 |
| Phog | is there a dd command to just wipe everything | 13:31 |
| mardraum | which gen dl380 is it | 13:31 |
| Phog | g6 | 13:31 |
| Phog | the smart array onboard isn't hooked up | 13:31 |
| Phog | im using 9211-8i LSI HBA's | 13:32 |
| mardraum | why wouldn't you use the smart array? | 13:32 |
| mardraum | oh | 13:32 |
| Phog | no virtual drives configured | 13:32 |
| Phog | cause it's garbage | 13:32 |
| mardraum | no local install of the OS? | 13:32 |
| Phog | nothing | 13:32 |
| Phog | im booted off the install cd | 13:32 |
| mardraum | no it isn't, I bet you just didn't buy a BBWC | 13:32 |
| smb | Might help to run "mdadm stop /dev/md?" from a alternate console (if cat /proc/mdstat show some active) | 13:32 |
| Phog | mardraum: i have used/tested/benched all sorts of smart arrays, the P812, the P410 (onboard) i have the BBU and 512MB cache | 13:33 |
| Phog | they are garbage | 13:33 |
| Phog | i've got like 10 of those silly smart(not) array | 13:34 |
| Phog | cards | 13:34 |
| mardraum | what problems do you have with the P410 on the g6's ? | 13:35 |
| Phog | mdadm stop /dev/md127 | 13:35 |
| Phog | mdadm An option must be given to set the mode before a second device (/dev/md127) is listed | 13:35 |
| Phog | it's slow | 13:35 |
| mardraum | compared to? | 13:36 |
| Phog | mdadm | 13:36 |
| Phog | if you want to buy this P812 with 1GB FBBC | 13:37 |
| Phog | PLEASE DO | 13:37 |
| Phog | any ideas with that error? | 13:37 |
| * smb tries to remember the syntax | 13:37 | |
| Phog | it's --stop | 13:38 |
| Phog | and it fails | 13:38 |
| Phog | Cannot get exclusive acess to /dev/md127: Perhaps a running process, mounted filesystem or active volume group | 13:38 |
| Phog | pretty sweet | 13:39 |
| smb | Could be some of those... In that case and if you don't care about disk contents it probably is the simplest to dd from /dev/zero over the disks/partitions involved in the softrait and restart | 13:40 |
| smb | softraid | 13:40 |
| Phog | do i have to wait for it to zero the drive? | 13:40 |
| Phog | I have like 45 drives | 13:40 |
| smb | not all of them , only those referred to in protc/mdstat | 13:41 |
| smb | and only some sectors | 13:41 |
| smb | so dd if=/dev/zero of=disk bs=1M count=1 | 13:41 |
| Phog | strangely the cat /proc/mdstat says | 13:42 |
| Phog | active raid1 sdo1[1] sdk1[0] | 13:42 |
| Phog | how do i tell what disks it's using | 13:43 |
| Phog | o and k? | 13:43 |
| smb | sdo1 and sdk1 (first partition of sdo and sdk) | 13:43 |
| smb | so disk in the dd would be /dev/sdo1 and /dev/sdk1 | 13:44 |
| smb | And just to repeat some warning the dd will destroy some data written to the mirror, too | 13:44 |
| Phog | took basically no time | 13:45 |
| Phog | confirmed with records in and out | 13:45 |
| Phog | just reboot? | 13:45 |
| smb | yes, now the meta data should be gone | 13:46 |
| Phog | here goes nothing *hail mary* | 13:46 |
| Phog | wish the ubuntu instller was more intelligent | 13:46 |
| Phog | *installer | 13:47 |
| Phog | pretty silly spending an hour just to wipe some disks | 13:48 |
| andol | Phog: Don't recall anything about wiping disk. Are you perhaps installing with encrypted disks? | 13:49 |
| smb | Usually I thought it was, the fact that there was a md127 usually comes from having a bios defined fakeraid and that is maybe a less common case | 13:50 |
| andol | Never mind me, realized that I was just missing plenty of backlog. Sorry | 13:50 |
| Phog | well, let's see what happens | 13:51 |
| Phog | you guys play with dm-cache much>? | 13:52 |
| smb | not me | 13:53 |
| Phog | was trying to decide between solaris and ubuntu for my vm storage | 13:54 |
| Phog | both have pros and cons | 13:54 |
| * highvoltage wants to try out dm-cache | 13:55 | |

| gchristensen | Hi, I'm using a preseed to pxe-boot install ubuntu server.

| gchristensen | it is free | 15:42 |
| Toaster_Strudel | the website says essential is 320/yr | 15:42 |
| Toaster_Strudel | then standard is 700USD/YR | 15:42 |
| gchristensen | ? that must be something different | 15:42 |

| gchristensen | Toaster_Strudel: that is for Landscape which is some sort of ... thing. | 15:43 |
| Toaster_Strudel | is there a website I can show to someone to convince them that ubuntu server is super awesome? I just need a page with pretty screenshots of it in action | 15:48 |
| Toaster_Strudel | gchristensen: ^ | 15:48 |
| gchristensen | pretty screenshots..? | 15:48 |
| Toaster_Strudel | yea | 15:49 |
| Toaster_Strudel | or maybe graphs and other fancy stuff | 15:49 |
| gchristensen | ubuntu server doens't necessarily come with that out of thebox. its a server | 15:49 |
| gchristensen | you could setup a node with graphite or munin or something | 15:51 |

| xgeek-cub | I am in a pros an cons situation; i want to install ubuntu server and i am between 13.10 or 12.04.3 lts? | 16:11 |
| gchristensen | xgeek-cub: is this for fun or for business? | 16:11 |
| gchristensen | the follow-up question if its for business, do you have free time? yes -> 13.10, no -> 12.04.3 | 16:12 |
| xgeek-cub | gchristensen: there is in between | 16:12 |
| xgeek-cub | what you mean by freetome gchristensen | 16:12 |
| gchristensen | I have no time at all to add potentially extra work to my plate, so I go with 12.04.3. if I had more time to burn doing things because I wanted to, I might put up 13.10. 13.10 may require more maintenance over time since it isn't LTS | 16:13 |
