[08:42] <lordievader> Good morning.
[10:21] <frickler> why does upgrading libvirt-bin to 1.2.2-0ubuntu13.1.6~cloud0 suddenly conflict apparmor? this is causing trouble for our servers, which suddenly cannot start new instances anymore
[11:15] <pmatulis> morning
[12:02] <blakey> hi, I've been using ubuntu server for a while now, and most times I rename the network interfaces to something more meaningful than eth0 eth1 etc, upon installing 14.04.1 I noticed that the interfaces are no longer named by udev... do you know how I can change these interfaces to something a bit easier than p5p1, p1p1 etc???
[12:46] <Kartagis> heh, why is gftp connecting to my localhost when I use SSH2?
[15:23] <Joe_knock> 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] <bitbyte> 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] <bitbyte> oh wait i was being an idiot seems its out of sapce
[15:44] <bitbyte> space *
[16:16] <sudormrf> is there a japanese IME for ubuntu server?
[16:17] <Joe_knock> IME? sudormrf
[16:17] <sudormrf> Joe_knock, as in, if someone wanted to type japanese text
[16:18] <Joe_knock> oh. you mean support for Japanese text?
[16:19] <sudormrf> Joe_knock, yes
[16:19] <sudormrf> and being able to type it
[16:20] <Joe_knock> it could be possible with a translated package. Let me check. hmmm
[16:22] <Joe_knock> It seems it's possible in Ubuntu itself, as far as the terminal goes, that is not clear.
[16:24] <lordievader> sudormrf: Where are you trying to input these Japanese characters? Directly at a tty?
[16:42] <sudormrf> lordievader, yeah
[17:06] <hariom> 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] <lordievader> sudormrf: Hmm, that might make it difficult.
[17:08] <sudormrf> hariom, some people don't like the PPA model.
[17:09] <jpds> hariom: Some people just want the latest stuff and are too lazy to learn .deb packaging.
[17:09] <hariom> 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] <jpds> hariom: Not really technically sound.
[17:09] <hariom> jpds: ok
[17:10] <sudormrf> jpds, curious why it isn't technically sound
[17:10] <hariom> 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] <jpds> 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] <sudormrf> 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] <sudormrf> jpds, provided packages = ppa?
[17:11] <jpds> sudormrf: You compile your own self, it's up to you to keep it patched and secure.
[17:11] <jpds> sudormrf: No, PPAs are not supported.
[17:11] <sudormrf> jpds, ah, I see what you mean.
[17:12] <hariom> jpds: what you mean by PPAs are not supported? Could you pls explain
[17:12] <sudormrf> 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] <sudormrf> makes it a pain to maintain
[17:12] <jpds> !ppa
[17:14] <hariom> 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] <jpds> hariom: Yep, it's maintained by the postgres guys, not ubuntu developers.
[17:15] <hariom> 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] <jpds> hariom: Yes, but you have no guarentee that it wouldn't break something somewhere else later on down the line.
[17:15] <hariom> jpds: yea
[17:16] <sudormrf> exactly
[17:16] <sudormrf> more often than not, you are fine without running the absolute latest version
[17:16] <sudormrf> if you want bleeding edge, go with arch.
[17:16] <sudormrf> some things require updates due to newly discovered security flaws
[17:16] <sudormrf> and those updates tend to be backported (as necessary)
[17:17] <hariom> backported is supported officially?
[17:17] <hariom> or it is just an optional way to get access to version no available in the standard package list
[17:18] <jpds> !sru | hariom
[17:46] <funkster> 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] <jpds> funkster: I'm wondering more why you would need X on a server?
[17:55] <funkster> 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.
[20:20] <zertui> hello there
[20:20] <Joe_knock> Hi
[20:20] <zertui> on ubuntu server is it possile to configure one interface with dhcp and one interface with static ip ?
[20:23] <esde> yes
[20:23] <zertui> yes is not a correct answer
[20:25] <zertui> if yes how ?
[20:25] <zertui> :)
[20:29] <qman__> You asked if it was possible, the answer is yes
[20:29] <qman__> The way to do it is to configure one static interface, and one dhcp interface
[20:30] <qman__> See man interfaces or read the server guide for more details
[20:32]  * Joe_knock murmurs
[20:32] <esde> https://xkcd.com/912/ relevant xkcd is relevant
[22:45] <bekks> hi
[22:47] <bekks> 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] <Joe_knock> Hello
[22:51] <Joe_knock> bekks: Can you explain a bit more what you're doing. I'm a bit lazy to search for it myself.
[22:52] <bekks> No problem :) Trying to summarize:
[22:53] <bekks> 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] <bekks> I've copied pxelinux.0 to /srv/tftp/, and created /srv/tfp/pxelinux.cfg/default with this content:
[22:54] <bekks> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8766691/
[22:54] <bekks> I also setup a DHCP server with this configuration:
[22:55] <bekks> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8766704/
[22:55] <bekks> Trying to boot a PXE client ends up with the error message above.
[23:01] <bekks> Joe_knock: You have any clues? :)
[23:02] <Joe_knock> bekks, looking into it. Is that a bash script in 8766704 ?
[23:02] <bekks> Thats the DHCP configuration for dhcp3-server
[23:04] <Joe_knock> 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] <bekks> Almost.
[23:05] <bekks> 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] <bekks> Or, rephrased: I am trying to "move" the boot medium from cd to PXE.
[23:06] <Joe_knock> oh!!!
[23:07] <bekks> I am not trying to boot an entire server via PXE, but just the installation medium.
[23:07] <Joe_knock> PXE is akin to a virtual boot?
[23:08] <bekks> I'm lacking the english mother tongue - I assume your question was: "do you try to boot a virtual environment?"
[23:08] <bekks> Yes, I am trying to boot up a bunch of virtual machines, which I need to install from scratch, for different purposes.
[23:08] <Joe_knock> ok I understand you now.
[23:25] <bekks> Joe_knock: Any clues?
[23:26] <Joe_knock> bekks: Are you using this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer
[23:26] <Joe_knock> ??
[23:26] <bekks> Do you thing it's worth trying?
[23:26] <bekks> It will take just a few minutes.
[23:27] <Joe_knock> It is Ubuntu's instructions...
[23:27] <Joe_knock> Ubuntus
[23:27] <bekks> This didnt work either: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallMultiDistro
[23:27] <bekks> Outdated, since there is no casper anymore.
[23:29] <Joe_knock> bekks: http://www.unixmen.com/install-configure-pxe-server-ubuntu-14-04-lts/
[23:30] <bekks> Thanks a lot - let me try that one.
[23:31] <Joe_knock> sorry for not being of more help. I haven't used PXE ever before.
[23:40] <bekks> Joe_knock: It works! Yay! It works!!! :)
[23:40] <bekks> THANK YOU! :)
[23:41] <Joe_knock> Well done bekks.
[23:42] <bekks> Thanks for that clue. I almost lost my mind during the last three days :)
[23:42] <Joe_knock> The philosophy of : If you're doing it, someone else has already done it seems to hold true here.
[23:42] <bekks> All I need it to modify the menu entry to use my custom kickstart file :)
[23:42] <bekks> *is
[23:42] <Joe_knock> but don't thank me. thank the people at: unixmen.com
[23:43] <bekks> Yeah, thats why I asked in here :) You provided the link to me, which I hadnt found yet. :)
[23:43] <Joe_knock> Do you use google to search?
[23:44] <bekks> Yes I do.
[23:45] <bekks> I used "ubuntu, pxe, install, howto, boot, 14.04, setup" without , and in various combinations.
[23:45] <Joe_knock> Try this search engine instead: https://duckduckgo.com/
[23:45] <bekks> I'll remember that one :)
[23:52] <bekks> Joe_knock: Thanks again - you REALLY made my day :)
[23:58] <Joe_knock> no problem. All the best bekks
