This may not be revelant but i figured i’d post this anyway. If you’re using ubuntu 8.10 you may be in for some issues with the network manager. For some unknown reason it stops functioning. You will need to manually set you’re resolv.conf with your ISP’s DNS servers. That file is located in /etc/network/resolv.conf

Hi, is it possible to access the repositories via svn-client? I’d like to see into latest NProf improvements.
I hope you keep at this great piece software.

Do you still intend to restore Confluence ?
I must maintain a website using Gentle (a website I have not created), and I’m quite nervous about not having a reference web site…

I’m using Debian and Ubuntu on Server and Desktopboxes for Years now….and especially in long-term perspektives it’s much more maintainable than Windows…

I’m active in both world, too, and it’s pretty much the same everywhere….if you do whateveryouwant the right way, it works. the difference is to get this information, and that’s much easier in tuxworld than it is in m$ world.

just my $ 0.02, what happend to the nprof-pages, btw?

Ubuntu’s dist-upgrade was never easy.

For me, going from 5 to 6, 6 to 7 and 7 to 8 involved several iterations going from sudo apt-get to Adept and back – former can fix broken dependencies, which come up a lot, latter can easily show and remove “hold back” flag.
But it finally worked for me in both cases. Now I’m fine with Hardy.

OTOH I can imagine what a hell lot of binary dependencies should be satisfied in order to upgrade my distro with several third-party repositories.

I wasn’t really using any of the desktop features, apart from some occasional package management. Most of the time X wasn’t even running, and at the core Linux is pretty much the same.

And anyway, it might not be the best for performance or security to run a graphical shell on a server, but my problems were way less luxurious than that. Try “not fucking itself up to the point where it can’t even boot” for starters. Even a desktop distro should be able to manage that..

A bit odd, comparing a desktop product to a server product. Ubuntu is mostly praised because it quickly puts eye candy into base, not because it is so great for a serious server.

I’d rather praise for server use a CentOS or a RHEL

I actually tried that, but making changes to log4j.properties somehow doesn’t seem to have any effect. Perhaps I’m missing a library or something?

I’ll send you an email, as I doubt you’re monitoring this blog entry. I’m surprised you found it! The magic of google keywords, no doubt

I think that you want the log4j syslog appender:
