Please insert the disc labeled 'Ubuntu 10.04 _Lucid Lynx_ - xxxx'
in the driver /cdrom/ and press enter.

!!!Java

!!!Minecraft server
I can now manually start the minecraft server with

java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui

Next step is to automate it with a [[http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Server_startup_script|Server startup script]]

!!!Bukkit
The real goal is to have a bukkit server running. I'll be following [[http://wiki.bukkit.org/Setting_up_a_server|Bukkit wiki Setting up a server]]

sudo service smbd restart

For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx):

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu natty partner"

Then install the packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
sudo update-alternatives --config java

Basically following the instruction on [[http://www.bunkerhollow.com/blogs/matt/archive/2010/07/17/ubuntu-10-04-samba-file-share-configuration.aspx|Ubuntu 10.04 Samba File Share Configuration]]

!!Minecraft
I followed the steps on [[http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Setting_up_a_server#Configuring_the_Minecraft_Server|
Minecraft Wiki Tutorials/Setting up a server]]

For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and on, the sun-java6 packages have been dropped from the Multiverse section of the Ubuntu archive. You must add these sources:

For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx):
[@
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
@]

Some distros have the command "add-apt-repository" removed. If this is the case, you will need to add the python properties by running the following command:
[@
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
@]
Then you can proceed to add the source:
[@
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu natty partner"
@]
Then install the packages:
[@
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
sudo update-alternatives --config java
@]
I did not have any other java installed, so the last command did nothing.



!!Upgrade
I also found a page about [[http://www.linux-support.com/cms/en/component/content/article/4-howtos/57568-online-upgrade-to-ubuntu-1004-at-command-line|Online Upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 at Command Line]] that I want to have handy when the day comes for the next step up.

!!!NEC cd-rom Drive

Fortunatly I had an older cdrom laying around that I could use. It was seen when I changed the jumper to Slave.

!!Samba
I configured samba by first creating a user (which I later did not use :-)

[@
sudo adduser --shell /bin/false torsten
sudo smbpasswd -a torsten
@]

Then I made a backup of the samba configuration and made some changes.

[@
sudo cp -p /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.orig
sudo vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
@]

I changed the workgroup, switched security mode (which I did not use in the end :-)
and also set [=unix extensions=]. Before this row, I could not follow symbolic links from /home/public to /home/media/public_media.

Lastly I added the section to allow everyone the rights to edit stuff.
[@

workgroup = MSHOME

security = user

[global]
follow symlinks = yes
wide symlinks = yes
unix extensions = no

[Public]
comment = Public files
path = /home/public
browsable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
force user = nobody
force group = nogroup
@]
In the future, I would like to change the last section so that I need to login as torsten when I want to edit files (read should always be ok as guest).


I restarted the samba server with
[@
sudo service smbd restart
@]

Installation:

!!Download
I downloaded the 64-bit, Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS version from the [[http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download|Ubuntu Server download page]]. The download was named ubuntu-10.04.2-server-amd64.iso and burned it to CD-rom

!!Installation
Since I already had Software Raid1 on my system disks, and a Software Raid5 on the four other disks I reused the partitions as they were:

* 20GB ext3 /
* 1GB swap swap
* 348GB ext3 /home
* 2,1TB ext3 /home/media

I would like to have increased the swap so I could hibernate (I have 2GB RAM), but never found out how to do that.

!!NEC cd-rom Drive
The installation worked fine up to 70% where I got the message:

[@
Please insert the disc labeled 'Ubuntu 10.04 _Lucid Lynx_ - Alpha powerpc (20100419)' in the driver /cdrom/ and press enter.
@]

It turned out this was a bug (already in 8.04) as I read
[[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/360460|Alternate install fails requesting same disc]] it was only showing its ugly face in some cases, e.g. when using a NEC drive which I had.

Fortunatly I had an older cdrom laying around that I could use. It was seen when I changed the jumper to Slave.
