[04:51] <gmu_man> can anyone help me figure out why my system is crashing?
[04:58] <gmu_man> can anyone help me figure out why my system is crashing?  Anyone?
[05:02] <nalioth> gmu_man: #ubuntu is a better place to ask
[05:02] <gmu_man> i was refered here by Jordan_U
[05:02] <nalioth> then Jordan_U should be helping you
[05:02] <gmu_man> .... but he's not...
[05:02] <gmu_man> no matter... i'll just ask on the forums...
[05:03] <nalioth> gmu_man: the is a 'come here to get out of the massive traffic that is #ubuntu' channel
[05:04] <nalioth> this is, bleh
[05:04] <Jordan_U> I thought that this was the place for asking if people wanted lower traffic
[05:04] <nalioth> Jordan_U: no, you bring folks here to help them
[05:04] <Jordan_U> nalioth, Sorry then.
[05:05] <nalioth> Jordan_U: help gmu_man
[05:05] <gmu_man> :-)
[05:10] <Jordan_U> gmu_ninja, In what way is it crashing?
[05:10] <gmu_ninja> I am running a server and it has locked up twice without any warning...
[05:10] <gmu_ninja> no GUI
[05:10] <gmu_ninja> I access it through SSH, and run a file server using samba
[05:11] <Jordan_U> When it locked up could you even switch virtual terminals?
[05:11] <gmu_ninja> nope... nothing...
[05:11] <Jordan_U> Ok, so nvm on that question :)
[05:11] <gmu_ninja> the crashes only happened while writing a torrent download to a SMB share
[05:11] <Jordan_U> gmu_ninja, And it is not just the current ssh session that is locking up, you can't ssh in again?
[05:12] <gmu_ninja> no...
[05:12] <gmu_ninja> it crashes when my only connection to it is through samba
[05:12] <gmu_ninja> I am downloading a large file to a network drive to my ubuntu system, and it would crash
[05:13] <Jordan_U> gmu_ninja, Have you looked at the samba logs?
[05:13] <gmu_ninja> no, but I looked at the syslogs and found nothing...
[05:14] <gmu_ninja> which log should I look at?
[05:15] <Jordan_U> gmu_ninja, I don't use samba but I think the log files are in /usr/local/samba/var/nmbd.log and smbd.log
[05:16] <gmu_ninja> the only error I notice (repeted several times) is:
[05:17] <gmu_ninja> [2007/07/10 22:13:42, 0]  printing/pcap.c:pcap_cache_reload(159)
[05:17] <gmu_ninja>   Unable to open printcap file /etc/printcap for read!
[05:17] <Jordan_U> gmu_ninja, Permissions problem possibly?
[05:17] <gmu_ninja> no, because it was working for over 24 hrs...
[05:18] <gmu_ninja> but just recently it would start, and then crash the server...
[05:18] <gmu_ninja> it outputs a bunch of garbage to the tty, but I can't read anything usefull
[05:18] <Jordan_U> gmu_ninja, Are you trying to print also or is this just a file server?
[05:19] <gmu_ninja> just a file server... but it is setup to load the printers...
[05:19] <gmu_ninja> but I don't use it as a network printer
[05:19] <gmu_ninja> or network print server...
[05:20] <Jordan_U> gmu_ninja, Then that error is probably unrelated to the crashing while sharing large files
[05:20] <gmu_ninja> yup
[05:20] <gmu_ninja> it's crashing while WRITING several large files, from Azurez (BitTorrent)
[05:21] <gmu_ninja> Azureus is running on windows, and saving the files to a ubuntu samba share
[05:21] <Jordan_U> gmu_ninja, Is Azureus running on the server or on another machine and being written to the server through samba?
[05:21] <gmu_ninja>  on another machine and being written to the server through samba
[05:21] <Jordan_U> gmu_ninja, Nvm, of course you wouldn't use azureus on a server
[05:22] <gmu_ninja> yea...
[05:24] <Jordan_U> gmu_ninja, I'm sorry then, I don't know what is wrong. Why aren't you running rtorrent on the server itself?
[05:24] <gmu_ninja> it's just more convienient for my setup...
[05:25] <gmu_ninja> no ideas on where to start?
[05:26] <Jordan_U> gmu_ninja, No, sorry, I don't use samba
[05:26] <gmu_ninja> ok... thanks anyways
[05:43] <Jordan_U> gmu_ninja, #samba possibly?
