[12:46] heh, why is gftp connecting to my localhost when I use SSH2? === bilde2910|away is now known as bilde2910 [15:23] If I am struggling to install a piece of software on Ubuntu 14.04, would there be any security issues to install it on 12.04 instead? [15:41] Hi guys im having some trouble with apptitude, can some one take a quick look at http://pastebin.com/e6y8X1XK and tell me why my servers complaning about the kernal image [15:44] oh wait i was being an idiot seems its out of sapce [15:44] space * === markthomas|away is now known as markthomas [16:16] is there a japanese IME for ubuntu server? [16:17] IME? sudormrf [16:17] Joe_knock, as in, if someone wanted to type japanese text [16:18] oh. you mean support for Japanese text? [16:19] Joe_knock, yes [16:19] and being able to type it [16:20] it could be possible with a translated package. Let me check. hmmm [16:22] It seems it's possible in Ubuntu itself, as far as the terminal goes, that is not clear. [16:24] sudormrf: Where are you trying to input these Japanese characters? Directly at a tty? [16:42] lordievader, yeah === unreal_ is now known as unreal [17:06] why do some admins prefer to install packages via source instead of adding into source.list or .deb file? Is this a personal preference or any benefits are associated with this? [17:08] sudormrf: Hmm, that might make it difficult. [17:08] hariom, some people don't like the PPA model. [17:09] hariom: Some people just want the latest stuff and are too lazy to learn .deb packaging. [17:09] sudormrf: yea, I know that some people don't like that model but any reason? Is it personal perference or any technically sound reason? [17:09] hariom: Not really technically sound. [17:09] jpds: ok [17:10] jpds, curious why it isn't technically sound [17:10] jpds, sudormrf: As per my experience, adding from source limits to that particular version itself and updates are more or less not possible to install easily [17:11] sudormrf / hariom: One of the points of using the provided packages is that they are supported, and that's how you get security updates. [17:11] hariom, hmm. in my experience if a newer version comes out that isn't added to the PPA, I have installed it on top without issues. [17:11] jpds, provided packages = ppa? [17:11] sudormrf: You compile your own self, it's up to you to keep it patched and secure. [17:11] sudormrf: No, PPAs are not supported. [17:11] jpds, ah, I see what you mean. [17:12] jpds: what you mean by PPAs are not supported? Could you pls explain [17:12] I prefer not doing things from source whenever possible. I don't like pulling stuff from github even. just makes a mess of things and I end up having to move stuff all over the place manually [17:12] makes it a pain to maintain [17:12] !ppa [17:13] 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-purge [17:14] jpds: I see. Ok so it means for example: adding postgresql PPA provides regular updates from postgres and possibly may not be supported by ubuntu at that time. [17:14] hariom: Yep, it's maintained by the postgres guys, not ubuntu developers. [17:15] jpds: But if PPA is coming from the organization or developers who maintain that software then there is less harm in using them [17:15] hariom: Yes, but you have no guarentee that it wouldn't break something somewhere else later on down the line. [17:15] jpds: yea [17:16] exactly [17:16] more often than not, you are fine without running the absolute latest version [17:16] if you want bleeding edge, go with arch. [17:16] some things require updates due to newly discovered security flaws [17:16] and those updates tend to be backported (as necessary) [17:17] backported is supported officially? [17:17] or it is just an optional way to get access to version no available in the standard package list [17:18] !sru | hariom [17:18] hariom: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates === esde is now known as Guest2446 === esde_ is now known as esde === esde is now known as Guest27601 === Guest27601 is now known as esde [17:46] so.. ubuntu 14.04 server, how can i change resolution on bootup? i have X installed and start a minimal window manager + browser. xrandr? [17:54] funkster: I'm wondering more why you would need X on a server? [17:55] jpds: its a kiosk machine. boot run x + browser. doing this based on desktop would add a ton of bloat. either way changing the res wouldn't matter i don't think. === zz_freyes is now known as freyes === freyes is now known as zz_freyes === esde_ is now known as esde === markthomas|away is now known as markthomas === markthomas is now known as markthomas|away === Mogwai is now known as Guest56923 [20:20] hello there [20:20] Hi [20:20] on ubuntu server is it possile to configure one interface with dhcp and one interface with static ip ? [20:23] yes [20:23] yes is not a correct answer [20:25] if yes how ? [20:25] :) [20:29] You asked if it was possible, the answer is yes [20:29] The way to do it is to configure one static interface, and one dhcp interface [20:30] See man interfaces or read the server guide for more details [20:32] * Joe_knock murmurs [20:32] https://xkcd.com/912/ relevant xkcd is relevant === markthomas|away is now known as markthomas [22:45] hi === lazyPower is now known as lazyWeekend [22:47] someone in here may lend me a helping hand in setting up a PXE server booting 14.04 server? I'm stuck at "trying to load /pxelinux.cfg/default - no DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found" although /srv/tftp/pxelinux.cfg/default exists [22:50] Hello [22:51] bekks: Can you explain a bit more what you're doing. I'm a bit lazy to search for it myself. [22:52] No problem :) Trying to summarize: [22:53] I'm trying to setup a PXE server which lets me boot 14.04 server for installation - I've installed tftpd-hpa, changed /etc/default/tftpd-hpa to point to /srv/tftp and use a specific IPv4 address. [22:53] I've copied pxelinux.0 to /srv/tftp/, and created /srv/tfp/pxelinux.cfg/default with this content: [22:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8766691/ [22:54] I also setup a DHCP server with this configuration: [22:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8766704/ [22:55] Trying to boot a PXE client ends up with the error message above. [23:01] Joe_knock: You have any clues? :) [23:02] bekks, looking into it. Is that a bash script in 8766704 ? [23:02] Thats the DHCP configuration for dhcp3-server [23:04] Okay, let me see if I can understand what you want to do (keep in mind, I've never done this myself). You want to setup a PXE server that will boot to a ubuntu 14.04 server? [23:04] Almost. [23:05] I'm am trying to boot 14.04 via PXE for getting rid of the 14.04 iso for installing things. I want to get rid of the cd boot media, but boot via PXE instead. [23:06] Or, rephrased: I am trying to "move" the boot medium from cd to PXE. [23:06] oh!!! [23:07] I am not trying to boot an entire server via PXE, but just the installation medium. [23:07] PXE is akin to a virtual boot? [23:08] I'm lacking the english mother tongue - I assume your question was: "do you try to boot a virtual environment?" [23:08] Yes, I am trying to boot up a bunch of virtual machines, which I need to install from scratch, for different purposes. [23:08] ok I understand you now. [23:25] Joe_knock: Any clues? [23:26] bekks: Are you using this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer [23:26] ?? [23:26] Do you thing it's worth trying? [23:26] It will take just a few minutes. [23:27] It is Ubuntu's instructions... [23:27] Ubuntus [23:27] This didnt work either: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallMultiDistro [23:27] Outdated, since there is no casper anymore. [23:29] bekks: http://www.unixmen.com/install-configure-pxe-server-ubuntu-14-04-lts/ [23:30] Thanks a lot - let me try that one. [23:31] sorry for not being of more help. I haven't used PXE ever before. [23:40] Joe_knock: It works! Yay! It works!!! :) [23:40] THANK YOU! :) [23:41] Well done bekks. [23:42] Thanks for that clue. I almost lost my mind during the last three days :) [23:42] The philosophy of : If you're doing it, someone else has already done it seems to hold true here. [23:42] All I need it to modify the menu entry to use my custom kickstart file :) [23:42] *is [23:42] but don't thank me. thank the people at: unixmen.com [23:43] Yeah, thats why I asked in here :) You provided the link to me, which I hadnt found yet. :) [23:43] Do you use google to search? [23:44] Yes I do. [23:45] I used "ubuntu, pxe, install, howto, boot, 14.04, setup" without , and in various combinations. [23:45] Try this search engine instead: https://duckduckgo.com/ [23:45] I'll remember that one :) [23:52] Joe_knock: Thanks again - you REALLY made my day :) [23:58] no problem. All the best bekks
