I just switched back from MacOSX to Ubuntu for work. Mostly for financial reasons. We need more computers at work and a really good PC laptop is just half as expensive as a MacbookPro or iMac.
Already the third time this happens to me: An update is available for the mysql server and I just "apt-get upgrade". The upgrade process gets totally stuck at the following task:
Preparing to replace mysql-server-5.1 5.1.66-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 (using .../mysql-server-5.1_5.1.66-0ubuntu0.10.04.2_i386.deb) ...
mysql stop/waiting
The process that got again stuck in some eternal loop (or whatever) is an egrep replacement of some textfile:
egrep -qi -r ^[^#]*ndb.connectstring|^[:space:]*\[[:space:]*ndb_mgmd /etc/mysql/
Karmic Koala
To add a permanent static route to a Karmic Koala system with one NIC, you need to edit the
/etc/network/interfaces file. The following section needs to be replaced:
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
Modify as follows:
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
up route add -net 10.8.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.3
down route del -net 10.8.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.3
