ostei am trying to install php 5.6 but i am not sure what the final steps are01:29
ostei ran the steps listed here https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/php5-5.601:29
osteat the end it says “Now you're ready to start installing software from the PPA!"01:29
ostehow do i do that??01:29
cfhowlett!ppa|oste01:29
ubottuoste: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge01:29
ostei get that01:30
ostejust not sure what step to take to get php 5.6 in place of the current01:30
Tunga voodoo witchdoctor dance01:31
sarnoldoste: did you run the apt-add-repository command yet?01:31
osteyes i sure did01:31
ostepretty sure its all in place01:32
ostebut php 5.5 is still being used01:32
sarnoldoste: okay, good; apt-get update, then apt-get install php5 apache2  -- I think the default would take them from the ppa rather than The Archive01:32
ostedamn pretty sure i already did all that01:33
sarnoldoste: did you restart apache2?01:33
osteyeah01:34
sarnoldoste: can you pastebin the dpkg -l 'apache2*' 'php*' output? (the pastebinit tool can help)01:34
ostelooks like this http://pastebin.com/5GUuh24R01:36
sarnoldoste: hrm. you're running the saucy versions of apache2 and php5; if the ~utopic and ~trusty and ~precise bits in his package versions are to be trusted, he doesn't have any saucy versions01:38
oste:(01:38
osteout of luck?01:39
sarnoldoste: you -could- try replacing 'saucy' with 'trusty' in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/whatever file for that specific ppa01:40
sarnoldoste: you might need to then use apt-get install php5/trusty apache2/trusty -- I haven't tried mixing ppa versions before..01:40
osteeeks01:41
sarnold(don't forget the apt-get update after changing the version in your sources.list)01:41
ostewould be better to get on trusty?01:41
ostethat is after saucy right?01:41
sarnoldvery good idea :) saucy support ends next month.01:41
ostecool01:41
osteis there an easy way to do that?01:41
sarnolddo-release-upgrade should walk you through it01:42
osteawesome - then hopefully that ppa will work01:42
sarnoldyou may need to re-run the apt-add-repository once you've upgraded01:44
dw1i got an unattended-upgrades reboot required email the other day and cant remember if i rebooted.. how can i check if i still need reboot?01:45
sarnolddw1: 'need' is a bit of a strong term. the recent kernel security update contains a fix for a local unprivileged user -> kernel mode vulnerability, so if you don't trust your users or your services, you will want to upgrade if your uname doesn't match the highest-versioned kernel installed (dpkg -l 'linux*')01:47
dw1right01:47
sarnoldrebooting is also the easiest way to get services to use the new openssl packages, but you could also restart by hand whichever services are exposed to the world01:48
dw1that seems to be what triggered it01:49
dw1just cant remember if i rebooted01:49
sarnolduptime will tell you when you last rebooted01:49
dw1ahh yes01:49
dw1brb. :)01:49

SachiruScenario is this: I have two groups, [EDT] and [EDT-Admin]. I want members of [EDT] to have a personal folder in (share) that only they have access to, and all personal folders in (share) are granted full r/w/x access to [EDT-Admin], but not [EDT]. Is it possible to do such?05:25
SachiruThe caveat is that members of [EDT-Admin] are members of [EDT] as well.05:26

dw1just seems silly to keep them forever13:57
Patrickdkwhy? it needs to know13:57
dw1hmm perhaps13:57
Patrickdkremove kills the program and libs, but keeps the data and config files13:57
Patrickdkhow else will it know it left those behind? if it didn't track that?13:57

xperiahi. i have installed vsftp and i am able to access the uploaded files over the webbrowser using a ftp:// url however when i try to boot with the FTP Files a PC over PXE i am getting always the error tftp timeout message? How can i Fix this Problem?16:32
andolxperia: ftp != tftp16:34
xperiaandol: thanks for the answer. does that mean it is not possible to use vsftp for netbooting?16:35
andolxperia: Well, at least for the initial pxe boot step you'll need to get your kernel etc by way of tftp. Possible that ftp, http or something else might fill a purpose in a later step.16:38
xperiaokay thanks for the answer andol. will switch over then to tftp-hpa and try it out now16:39
xperiai installed tftp-hpa now adjusted the tftp directory in the config and established a connection to the tftp server on the local lan by using the command line and tryed after this to fetch/get a test file but it fails for some strange reason. asking me why. has anybody a suggestion how to solve this problem?16:50

pr3d4t0rQ. Is it safe to upgrade from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS via command line?  We have server backups of everything relevant.  Thanks in advance for your recommendation.23:21
* pr3d4t0r figures that any serious kinks would've been found out 2 months after release.23:22
pr3d4t0rI have both SSH and console access to the server, by the way.23:23
