Ubuntu Servers :: Apt-mirror -- Move Distribution After End Of Life?
Apr 13, 2010
i have a complete local ubuntu mirror; nicely kept in sync by apt-mirror. unfortunately, i need to keep some of the old releases as well. [URL].. kindly provides those. with the upcoming end-of-life of intrepid ibex, i would like to move the packages for intrepid on my mirror to the directory i use for the old-releases, without having to download these approximately 30GB from the original server.
is there a way to move distributions in a local mirror? apt-move seems only capable of rearranging the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives/ .

I've been using Ubuntu for the past four years, but I recently bought a Dell Mini 1012, and while Ubuntu 10.04 is wonderful in every way, it is giving me quite poor results in terms of battery life, compared to Windows 7 which is also installed on the device. I have been able to get 4.5 hours out of Ubuntu,compared to the 8 hours I have been able to get with Windows 7 Starter. I have tried everything suggested here in order to get better battery life out of Ubuntu, but without success.I'm wondering if I might have better success with another distribution.Are there any Linux distributions available that can claim longer battery life than others, on netbooks and in general? This question can be answered objectively if it is backed up with hard data from based on benchmarks,

since yesterday, this domain has been painful slow and the only fix is removing it from /var/cache/yum/updates/mirrorlist.txt the last straw was about an hour ago, when 10kb/s was the max bandwidth and I had to download perl and glibc * glibc-common it would have taken over an hour. once removed from updates/mirrorlist the other mirrors picked up the slack and I was back in business,

How do you download a whole distribution at once from an ftp mirror? Ive never used ftp to DL more than 1 file at a time from konsole I tried mget, get as well as using wild cards like this get /slackware/*/*/*/*. Ive been looking for how to's but can't find any that deal with what I'm looking for. I know there is probably a simple solution but I can't find it.

After digging around trying to figure out how to upgrade my local apt-mirror to 10.04, I figured I would share it here so anyone else who does this, can do it with ease. It requires a few steps, and editing a couple files, but the process is relatively painless.This assumes you have an apt-mirror already running on your server. Also it assumes you're using /var/www/ubuntu as your root where all your packages are stored.
The first step is to visit http://changelogs.ubuntu.com and download the meta-release packages. Create a new directory, /var/www/ubuntu/upgrade, and drop the files there.On the client's end, a single file needs to be edited, /etc/update-manager/meta-release. Change the URI's in that file to the URI of your apt-mirror and run your update manager. Your upgrade will start, only asking if you want to change your paths in your sources.list. Agree to it, and the packages will download and configure.

I'm wondering if its possible to add an external, non-Ubuntu mirror to my mirror server?
We have a few packages which need to be deployed during kickstart (Cinelerra and Eclipse plugins), and I would like to put them into my mirror repo so they are grabbed during kickstart, rather than manually adding them after the system is up.

Looking for a few pointers here.I am trying to automate the adding and removal of two external usb disks to my linux raid mirror (md) that I use for an offsite copy of my data.This is what I currently do.Server has 2 x 500 gb internal disks setup with linux raid 1. (md)I connect 1 of the external usb disks, add it as a secondary mirror to the main array.After it rebuilds, I remove it from the array and take it home.I have two of these external drives so one of them is always offsite, and the other is either being rebuilt, or connected as a secondary mirror.At the moment, this involves running commands manually. I cannot seem to figure out how to automatically add these disks from and to the array with a script. It seems that every time it rebuilds on the external disk, it gives it a new UUID.

I have been looking into setting up a local repository for updates etc as we have an increasing number of fedora clients/servers. Searching the web I found multiple how-to's on how to accomplish this little project. One thing that bothers me is that each how-to seems to refer to a "static URL" mirror for rsync to get the rpms.

I am Setting up 3 HP Proliant servers with 2 250GB Hard Drives in each. How Do I mirror the drives, and link all the servers together??? I am installing Centos 5.3. From the software install menu I installed Gnome, and the Server software, but can't seem to figure out how to get into the server side of it from gnome. Sorry for all the questions, but I have been out of the loop of all this for about 8 years and trying to re-learn everything.

I was running 8.something on my ubuntu server. Today I decided to upgrade releases! So I started it, all via ssh cos the box is about 800 miles away and it was going just fine. However - I went away from the pc for about a hour, and my ssh session died. On reconnect it starts a new ssh session - and I dont know how to reconnect to the upgrade process and finish it off.

I would like to install a program (R for statistical computing). I am using Slackware. On the download page of R (The Comprehensive R Archive Network) there are options to download the code for Debian, Redhat, Suse, and Ubuntu. Which one should I download in my case (using Slackware)? Is there any of them which I should not download?

I've been poking at the options in mdadm and dmraid for 2 hours now and don't see exactly what I need. (and trying things I'm not 100% sure of would be silly)
2 drive raid1 array. moved to another box running the same version of Ubuntu. (10.04)
I've googled and googled and can't find anyone else with this same task - what am I missing? The array is physically fine and doesn't need rebuilding, unless in this context it does somehow.
The two devices are sdb and sdc.
Output of mdadm -Es:
Code:
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=97e83cac:4d76d392:e368bf24:bd0fce41
So the array is somehow visible, but I don't see what my next step needs to be.

ok I have the original install 170GB partition mounted on /
I need the following;
OS on / 30 GB
data mounted on / data 140GB
Fdisk would have been a joke, but the box was setup via lvm, so I am learning on the fly. I was able to shrink the partition using;
lvreduce -L 30G /dev/mapper/server-root
vgcreate shows;
VG Size 169/76GiB
Alloc PE / Size 9453 / 36.93GiB
Free PE / Size 34005 / 132.83 GiB
Now, per my DBA, I need that 130 on a seperate 'partition' and I am not 100% sure on the next step. I am reading on vgcreate, lvcreate, etc.

I'm looking for ideas on how to transfer a group of xml files from one server to another server, either in a regular interval or ?I have a listing program, it creates a directory or classified ad type listing. When one of these is created, or an existing one is edited an XML file is created. I need to take these files and get them to another server. I've read about SOAP, FOPEN and of course FTP.

I'm in the middle of moving my lab to a new server in the middle of the school year.. and need to copy all the user accounts to the new box, hopefully with all the student's passwords and contents of their folders intact.And since we are using the system daily, I need to do it all in an hour or 2.I'm thinking I can just
1. diff /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow from the old the new
2. copy all the student folders to new /home
3. write a script to set the permissions on all the new /home folders to match the user names.
It seems easy and safe so long as I back up the 2 existing files..Any reason not to try? Or is there an easier way?

I have a Ubuntu 10.04 server configured with an lxc container also running 10.04. I wonder if somebody knows the correct procedure to move such a container to another server? I tried a straight rsync both with the source up and down but mysql won't start on boot after move and if I manually start it none of the websites within the container are able to connect to mysql. I can connect to mysql using telnet of the command line client.

I have a software raid array (in this test case a mirrored set of two 500GB volumes) and I want to move them to another OS installation on the same hardware. (This is testing in preparation for a physical move two arrays onto a single server.) I had the array up and working (surviving reboots), wrote a test backup onto it in a folder.
Shut the machine down, re-installed ubuntu, got it up and running, then installed mdadm, rebooted with the array powered up and ran mdadm --detail --scan , expecting to see mdadm at least find the parts of the array. Instead, I get nothing. I even added -vv to get more verbose output. de nada.

I've running my mails from 3 domains on Google Apps for several time, but I think it's time to set up my own Mail-Server now. I have a vServer and want to migrate my existing mails after setting it up. Now I have 2 questions.
1. Which components do I need / do you prefer for a mail-server(imap, smpt, webinterface)?
2. How do I get all my existing Mails in there?

We are running into issues with a File Upload script written in PHP. We can upload files without issues except with .*x files (such as .docx) We are getting permission denied errors. The error occurs when we use move upload file, to the new directory within our PHP app. If we give the uploads folder 777 access, it works fine without error. I dont like that. So I set it to 775 (Also dont like this), but it didnt work until I gave group ownership to www-data (I really dont like this)
This issue only happens on our production server, which is Ubuntu 9.04, running Apache2.2 and PHP5 will all the newest updates. We also have all MIME's configured, and are able to download the file from Apache without error. The first thing we noticed before the file permissions error, was that the MIME type changed to .zip when we used mime content type function. But yet using the FILES array, it still showed .docx.

I'm using f12. My university has recently become a mirror for fedora packages. But i'm facing a trivial problem. I have set proxy for yum so that the packages that are not available on local mirror can be downloaded from other mirrors. But then i don't know how to set no proxy for my local server. Consequently it is not using my local mirror at all. Tell me how to set no proxy for the local mirror. I want my local mirror because it's damn fast. My proxy settings are like this (they go in /etc/yum.conf):

For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS / Gnome 2.30.2.
I have two applets on my Gnome panel -- NetworkManager Applet 0.8, and Klipper (it works better than Glipper) -- that I want to move.
HOWEVER, right-clicking the panel icons does not enable me to move these applets, as follows:
- NetworkManager Applet 0.8 does not include a Move item in its list of options.
- Klipper displays a long list of Klipper options but no Move option.
How I can move these items to new locations on the Gnome panel?
