dovecot-postfix
Since I had a problem after the last update, my main.cf was overwritten, I wonder if it is possible to uninstall just the combined dovecot-postfix package without doing harm to dovecot and postfix. For some reason (somebody else installed trhe server) the ubuntu specific dovecot-postfix stack was installed but I always handled the server as separate postfix and dovecot server. I would be very happy if I could get rid of JUST the dovecot-postfix stack. (and keep my main.cf from being overwritten in the future).

Hi. I tried to get info on this on the Canonical site but didn't succeed finding... What version of the DHCP server will be in LL? KK has 3.1. Since I might be in a native IPv6 pilot soon, I would like to use ISC DHCP 4.1 or newer. That version can run in v4 and v6 mode but not at the same time. You seem to need two instances then.

RE: Changes in booting with ubuntu-server 10.04
Hi again Soren, Because IF I need to attach a console I do that to catch each and every information that could help me find any problems during boot. I'm from a old era. VAXVMS on DEC mini's. There were only servers and character terminals. There were no VGA output devices. I want (and I think many with me) the simple all revealing line oriented logging during the boot process on a simple serial or console port. No bells, no wistles. If something goes wrong during the boot we want to know and have informative output at hand on (simple) output devices. Not hidden in high level messages in fancy screens. But what heck, nobody asked to have fancy server bootspash screens on servers. If that is the new way of working, fine but just give us the possibility to have a boot option to have all starting services scrolling over the screen (and hopefully an 'OK' on the right). No hard feelings, I also want this distro to be the best. Egbert Jan (NL) PS I switched from years and years of Mandriva usage to Ubuntu because I got the impression that Ubuntu developers WERE paying attention to what the community wants. > -Oorspronkelijk bericht- > Van: 'Soren Hansen' [mailto:so...@ubuntu.com] > Verzonden: donderdag 25 maart 2010 23:02 > Aan: Egbert Jan > Onderwerp: Re: Changes in booting with ubuntu-server 10.04 > > > On Thu, Mar 25, 2010 at 10:20:20PM +0100, Egbert Jan wrote: > > I just expressed my fear that the Good Old boot messages are being > > replaced by nothing-saying desktop output.

The only issue I had with 2.2.6 on 8.10 (server) was a wrong symbolic link to smarty in /usr/share/gallery2/lib. After correcting that, all seems to work. With G2 2.3 under Ubuntu 9.04 beta that issue is gone. I'm doing these exercises because I'm in a transition phase from Mandriva Linux to Ubuntu server. So I'm building a new mail/web/gallery2/e107 server from scratch. Some things are quite different w.r.t. Mandriva. Gives the old man (54) some more gray hairs.

Upcoming meeting on IRC
Hello! New kid on the block here. Just switching from Mandriva to Ubuntu mainly because the availability of a server release. Just installed the Ubuntu server using the 8.10 CD. Looks cool! A few things that crossed my mind and might find their way into the server release: 1 shouldn't a server release put things like DNS in a chroot jail? 2 A server is normally not on DHCP. The install script should give at least a choice between dhcp and static. 3 A default partioning scheme. Allocate some swap space and and put (at least) /var and /home in their own partitions. 4 The ssl gang advises to use /etc/pki/... structure, I think. Ubuntu still follows the 'old' /etc/ssl/... way of working. Well, dunno if I stepped on some toes but I thought I should mention it.
