| MatthewMetzger | kirkland: around? | 00:27 |
|---|---|---|
| MatthewMetzger | anyone awake here? I'd like to chat about how ubuntu server handles memory. | 02:12 |
| nijaba | MatthewMetzger: hello | 02:12 |
| MatthewMetzger | hi nijaba :) | 02:12 |
| nijaba | MatthewMetzger: I have read our report | 02:12 |
| nijaba | YourMomsHero, even | 02:12 |
| nijaba | "you", even (stupid autocopletion) | 02:12 |
| nijaba | do you have cron jobs active on yor server? | 02:13 |
| MatthewMetzger | okay. I'm specifically wondering if "sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" is okay to run to clear the caches. | 02:13 |
| nijaba | what is mysql doing? Is it polled by someone? | 02:14 |
| MatthewMetzger | Yes, I have a few cron jobs set up. Nothing changed, though | 02:14 |
| MatthewMetzger | mysql is running. It is being used as a database for our library server (Koha). I'm going to do an upgrade of Koha later tonight (alpha to beta). | 02:14 |
| MatthewMetzger | What do you mean by "polled"? | 02:15 |
| nijaba | MatthewMetzger: I don't think dropping the cache is a good idea with mysql running | 02:15 |
| nijaba | polled: receive request on a regular basis | 02:15 |
| nijaba | can you try stopping mysql and see if cache continues on growing? | 02:15 |
| MatthewMetzger | no polling. The database is used infrequently (students don't search for books often). | 02:16 |
| nijaba | MatthewMetzger: so right now, no student uses it? | 02:16 |
| MatthewMetzger | I can stop mysql, but only over the weekend. | 02:16 |
| MatthewMetzger | actually, yes. The service is used every day, but it just doesn't have much traffic. | 02:16 |
| nijaba | just to see, that's the first thing that comes to my mind to try isolate the problem | 02:16 |
| MatthewMetzger | I understand and agree. | 02:17 |
| nijaba | at the rate the problem occurs, you should see the difference quite fast | 02:17 |
| MatthewMetzger | is having large amounts of memory cached normal? I don't recall seeing this on my other ubuntu installs. | 02:18 |
| nijaba | I am going to bed quite soon, but leave me a message here, I do read logs when highlighted | 02:18 |
| nijaba | MatthewMetzger: yes, it can be, if it never goes to swap. | 02:19 |
| nijaba | cache is good: it is data you do not go fetch to the disk | 02:19 |
| MatthewMetzger | nijaba: thanks. I understand better now. | 02:19 |
| MatthewMetzger | have a good night :) | 02:19 |
| nijaba | thanks, have a good whatever for your tz | 02:20 |

| rhineheart_m | anybody here uses ipcop? | 14:01 |
| hubuntu | Is an entry/profile for ebox automated installation in Hardy as there is one for LAMP in Gutsy? | 17:12 |
| hubuntu | I'm writing a presentation for ubuntu server | 17:12 |
| hubuntu | come on it's the second day I come around and NOBODY answers: I am just wondering if it has become one of the choices for an automated server installation or not (like LAMP, OpenSSh, etc...) | 17:30 |
| Deeps | no idea, check the documentation on the website, or download the beta iso and check it out | 17:31 |
| Deeps | if you're doing a presentation on the latest ubuntu, screenshots are a useful tool, you probably want to virtualize the current release to take good snapshots from | 17:32 |
| hubuntu | I know, but I must finish the basics for tomorrow and there is a lot to cover. The presentation ewill be hold the 26th sp by that time I will have screenshots :) | 17:32 |
| hubuntu | thanks for the advice | 17:33 |
| Deeps | good luck | 17:33 |
| Deeps | suerte ;) | 17:33 |
| hubuntu | The more I write, the better I realize Ubuntu is in the server ;) Una vez terminada espero la presenten en varias ciudades en el FLISOL | 17:33 |
| Deeps | k guay | 17:34 |
| hubuntu | tu sabes bastante del servidor verdad?`Puedes darmela revisando antes de entregar manana? | 17:35 |
| hubuntu | osea el lado técnico | 17:35 |
| Deeps | nop, lo siento, tengo un monton d trabajo pa hacer todavia | 17:35 |
| Deeps | estoy tomando un kitkat;) | 17:36 |
| hubuntu | ok, en todo caso estará en el wiki del FLISOL y Ub untu si alguién en tu LoCo tiene oprtunidad antes del 26 | 17:36 |
| hubuntu | me voy a seguir | 17:36 |
| hubuntu | kitkat? | 17:36 |

| Deeps | y no se nada de mi loco | 17:37 |
| Deeps | creo q hay un monton de gente de kubuntu aqui en canarias | 17:37 |
| Deeps | pero no tengo nidea | 17:37 |
| hubuntu | estoy en contacto con la gente en ubuntu-es. Suerte con lo que estés haciendo ;) | 17:38 |
| Deeps | ah no, estoy trabajando con algo de mi empleo | 17:38 |

| AlexC_ | hey all, | 17:53 |
| AlexC_ | I've got very high memory usage on my server, and it is not even doing a lot, it is using 780mb :S. 'top' just mostly shows Apache, Dovecot, and Postfix | 17:54 |
| AlexC_ | wondering how I can locate the source of the excessive memory usage? | 17:54 |
| Mike_KirkCameron | i need install qmail on ubuntu 7.10 server ,who can help me? | 17:54 |
| Mike_KirkCameron | i need install qmail on ubuntu 7.10 server ,who can help me? | 17:55 |
| AlexC_ | Mike_KirkCameron, I think people heard you the first time, about 1 min ago ... | 17:55 |
| faulkes- | AlexC: ps aux | 17:56 |
| faulkes- | the VSZ/RSS values will tell you what is using up the most memory | 17:57 |
| AlexC_ | VSZ? I don't see that | 17:58 |
| AlexC_ | ah, yes I do | 17:58 |
| Mike_KirkCameron | who can help me? | 17:58 |
| Mike_KirkCameron | install qmail doc . | 17:58 |
| AlexC_ | faulkes-, hum ... shall I pastebin the output of that for you to talk a look? | 17:59 |
| Mike_KirkCameron | every body? | 18:04 |
| faulkes- | AlexC: certainly, I have a few moments | 18:06 |
| faulkes- | Mike: Never installed qmail on ubuntu, is there a particular reason you need it vs. postfix? | 18:06 |
| AlexC_ | faulkes-, http://paste2.org/p/20439 - I'm running Apache2 with SuEXEC and fastcgid, with php-cgi if that is of any relevance | 18:07 |
| Mike_KirkCameron | i see | 18:08 |
| Mike_KirkCameron | i see | 18:08 |
| faulkes- | the biggest usage I see there is apache2 and yes, I would say that suexec and fastcgi have relevance | 18:11 |
| AlexC_ | they shouldn't be using *that* much memory though, surely? | 18:12 |
| faulkes- | how much memory does the box have? and have you checked the 'free' command to see how much is being used by buffers or swap? | 18:12 |
| faulkes- | AlexC: it's using around 250+mb, there are any number of possible reasons why, especially if you have users ;) | 18:12 |
| AlexC_ | faulkes-, it has 784mb (or something like that) however it is burstable to 1.5gb (this is a VPS) | 18:12 |
| AlexC_ | free shows: 'Mem: 1572864 827696 745168 0 0 0' and using no swap | 18:12 |
| AlexC_ | faulkes-, well, the site is really not being used that much - it's nothing major | 18:13 |
| faulkes- | I don't trust "burstable" ram ;) | 18:13 |
| faulkes- | however, it would appear that you have just under half your ram in buffers, which is normal | 18:13 |
| AlexC_ | same, which is why I'm trying to find the cause of this | 18:13 |
| AlexC_ | what exactly does that mean? | 18:14 |
| faulkes- | the system takes free ram and will use it to speed things up via buffers | 18:14 |
| AlexC_ | and, are you sure? there is a '0' under Buffers | 18:14 |
| faulkes- | oh, wait | 18:14 |
| faulkes- | yeah, sorry, was reading incorrectly | 18:15 |
| faulkes- | still, half of your ram is free then | 18:15 |
| faulkes- | although why it hasn't used any of it for buffers is beyond me | 18:15 |
| faulkes- | I would start by looking at your apache / php configuration | 18:15 |
| AlexC_ | mm, but that other half is going into my burstable =\ | 18:15 |
| AlexC_ | ok | 18:16 |

| creator | hey can someone help me wiht a samba issue? | 19:05 |
| faulkes- | jibwn: if server1:/data has all the music/video stuff mounted the client1:/data should be able to see, turning off nohide shouldn't matter | 19:05 |
| faulkes- | jibwn: I would check that nfs is properly reaching the server (/var/log/{syslog,messages}) and that there is no firewall/iptables issues occuring | 19:06 |
| daeron | E' stata richiesta una sessione di messaggi musicali. Fare clic sull'icona MM per accettare. | 19:06 |
| creator | i am trying to create a user account in samba but when ever i do that it tells me creator@myserver:~$ sudo smbpasswd -a georg | 19:06 |
| creator | [sudo] password for creator: | 19:06 |
| creator | New SMB password: | 19:06 |
| creator | Retype new SMB password: | 19:06 |
| creator | Failed to modify password entry for user georg | 19:06 |
| faulkes- | creator: check permissions on the smbpasswd file (yes, even if you are root/sudo this can be an issue) | 19:07 |
| creator | how do i do that | 19:08 |
| faulkes- | although, it is entirely possible you retyped the password wrong the second time | 19:08 |
| creator | << noob sauce | 19:08 |
| creator | haha tried it 5 or 6 times ... dont think i miss typed that often | 19:08 |
| sommer | daeron: can you not see the files when connecting as an actual user or when connecting anonymously? | 19:08 |
| daeron | anonymously | 19:09 |
| daeron | i don't need to configure users | 19:09 |
| creator | faulkes: how do i check the permission on that file? | 19:10 |
| faulkes- | creator: I don't recall the exact path to the smbpasswd file, man smbpasswd should tell you the default or /etc/samba/smb.conf | 19:10 |
| faulkes- | however, you would then ls -l to see that the file has the w bit set for the owner | 19:10 |
| sommer | daeron: and are there files in /home/ftp? | 19:11 |
| jibwn | thanks, faulkes- I just found the issue. I hadn't gotten around to adding the drives in fstab yet, they were manually mounted. After adding them it works. | 19:11 |
| daeron | yes of course;) | 19:11 |
| creator | damn neith the man nor conf tell me where its at | 19:12 |
| creator | faulkes: I think this is what Im looking for | 19:15 |
| creator | creator@myserver:~$ /etc/samba/smbusers ls -l | 19:16 |
| creator | -bash: /etc/samba/smbusers: Permission denied | 19:16 |
| creator | faulkes: creator@myserver:~$ sudo ls -l /etc/samba/smbusers | 19:17 |
| creator | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23 2008-04-13 13:52 /etc/samba/smbusers | 19:17 |
| sommer | daeron: are there any errors in /var/log/vsftpd.log ? | 19:17 |
| creator | anyone? | 19:19 |
| daeron | this is the log | 19:19 |

| daeron | it worked today, but now it doesn't work anymore | 19:20 |
| stwange | hey, how do I enable gateway ports on gutsy? I checked /etc/ssh/sshd_config but it wasn't there, I tried adding it and /etc/init.d/ssh restart but I still can't connect from outside the localhost | 19:23 |
| stwange | it's not in /etc/ssh/ssh_config either | 19:24 |
| Deeps | what did you add to your /etc/ssh/sshd_config? | 19:24 |
| Deeps | by default it listens on all interfaces on port 22 | 19:24 |
| Deeps | and nothing needs to be added | 19:24 |
| stwange | I'm trying to tunnel, and I need GatewayPorts to be set to yes for it to listen on anything other than localhost:someport (different from the port 22 for ssh access) | 19:25 |
| Deeps | oh, for when tunnelling | 19:26 |
| Deeps | what kind of tunnel are you doing, local or remote? | 19:26 |
| stwange | remote, reverse | 19:26 |
| Deeps | hmm | 19:27 |
| Deeps | yeah that i dont know | 19:27 |
| Deeps | i usually do a second local tunnel on the remote machine | 19:27 |
| Deeps | with -g | 19:27 |
| stwange | man sshd_config says to set GatewayPorts to yes, but it's not there | 19:27 |
| Deeps | add GatewayPorts yes, restart your ssh server, and reconnect | 19:28 |
| Deeps | from what i can see in the man page anyway | 19:28 |
| stwange | do you know how to restart sshd? I tried /etc/init.d/sshd restart but it said no such file or directory. I tried /etc/init.d/ssh restart but it didn't make a difference | 19:29 |
| Deeps | root@router:~# /etc/init.d/ssh restart * Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ OK ] | 19:29 |
| Deeps | then you need to reconnect your ssh session | 19:29 |
| Deeps | with your tunnelling | 19:29 |
| stwange | yeah sorry about that | 19:31 |
| Deeps | just tried it, looks like it works | 19:31 |
| stwange | I'd restarted ssh, but forgot I had to reconnect the tunnel :) | 19:31 |
| Deeps | might wanna use client-specified | 19:31 |
| Deeps | rather than yes | 19:31 |
| Deeps | and then on remote tunnels you specify -g on the ones you want globally visible | 19:32 |
| Deeps | (like you would with local tunnels) | 19:32 |
| stwange | thanks for the help mate | 19:35 |
| Deeps | np | 19:35 |
| stwange | offhand, I don't suppose you know what the disable repositories are on a clean ubuntu install? I need to add them with just bash | 19:36 |
| Deeps | no vi? | 19:37 |
| === blue-frog__ is now known as blue-frog | ||
| Deeps | cat /etc/apt/sources.list | (more|less|most|head -n|tail -n) | 19:38 |
| stwange | yeah but they aren't commented out | 19:38 |
| stwange | I'll check my other install and see what they were | 19:38 |
| Deeps | you can then see what it is through that | 19:38 |
| Deeps | grep http /etc/apt/sources.list | 19:38 |

| Nafallo | lol | 21:58 |
| stiv2k | ok I have this mysqld_safe process that runs indefinitely, and it consumes 100% CPU all the time.... it's lagging my server, what is it doing and why is it running all the time? | 21:58 |
| stiv2k | 22429 root 25 0 1752 368 344 R 90.4 0.1 14956:41 mysqld_safe | 21:58 |

| stiv2k | ok | 22:02 |
| stwange | ok can anyone give me a hand with lamp on ubuntu 7.10? I have apache2, php5 and libapache2-mod-php5 installed, but the .php in my /var/www/ is asking to be downloaded: http://209.20.67.241/ | 22:07 |
| sommer | stwange: did you restart apache? | 22:16 |
| symtab | how do i restart the network? | 22:27 |
| symtab | /etc/init.d/network restart doesnt work | 22:27 |
| sommer | symtab: did you try sudo /etc/init.d/network restart ? | 22:28 |
| symtab | trying now | 22:30 |
| symtab | when running ifconfig you have like like this | 23:40 |
| symtab | txqueuelen:100 | 23:40 |
| symtab | what does this mean? | 23:40 |
| JaxxMaxx_ | transmit queue length. | 23:41 |
| JaxxMaxx_ | obscure networking setting, probably best left alone? | 23:41 |
| symtab | the thing is | 23:41 |
| symtab | i have 2 servers | 23:41 |
| symtab | both in the same network | 23:41 |
| symtab | one is .28 | 23:41 |
| symtab | one .29 | 23:41 |
| symtab | .28 works | 23:41 |
| symtab | and both servers have 2 network cards (internal and external) | 23:42 |
| symtab | on the one that works both network cards have txqueuelen: 1000 | 23:42 |
| symtab | on the one that doesnt work | 23:42 |
| symtab | the external network card has txqueuelen: 100 | 23:42 |
| symtab | could this be the reason why it doesnt work? | 23:42 |
| Deeps | highly unlikely | 23:42 |
| symtab | i'm sure the settings (ip, netmask, gateway) are correct | 23:42 |
| Deeps | the only instance i've ever fiddled the txqueuelen is when i was dealing with a gbit link and wanted to improve performance | 23:43 |
| Deeps | are you sure that there's a link between the 2 nics that dont appear to be working? | 23:44 |
| Deeps | are link lights on? | 23:44 |
| symtab | internally they work | 23:44 |
| symtab | but one of the server doesnt work externally | 23:44 |
| symtab | it doesnt have a internet connection | 23:44 |
| symtab | it should have, but it doesnt work | 23:45 |
| Deeps | ok, so you have 2 network cards, one on an internal network, the other on an external network? | 23:45 |
| symtab | yes | 23:45 |
| symtab | on both servers | 23:45 |
| symtab | let me explain again | 23:45 |
| symtab | i have 2 servers | 23:45 |
| Deeps | and not, 1 internal network card, and one external (eg usb) network card | 23:45 |
| Deeps | ok | 23:45 |
| symtab | each server has 2 network cards | 23:45 |
| symtab | server 1 = A | 23:45 |
| symtab | server 2 = B | 23:45 |
| symtab | A and B are connected internally in a network (192.168.0.1/192.168.0.2) and this works | 23:46 |
| symtab | A also is connected to the internet through the other cable | 23:46 |
| symtab | B is not connected to the internet, because it doesnt work | 23:46 |
| symtab | i dont know to explain better :( | 23:47 |
| symtab | sorry | 23:47 |
| Deeps | the external cable from server B, does it plug into a switch? another computer? | 23:47 |
| Deeps | are there any lights on either that NIC on server B or wherever it's plugged into to indicate that there is actually a link? | 23:48 |
| symtab | both external cables from both servers are plugged in a switch | 23:48 |
| symtab | yeah the light is is blinking | 23:48 |
| Deeps | ok | 23:48 |
| Deeps | do both A and B have different IPs on their external interfaces? | 23:49 |
| symtab | yes | 23:49 |
| Deeps | btw, this notiation: 192.168.0.1/192.168.0.2 is wrong | 23:49 |
| Deeps | notation* | 23:49 |
| Deeps | as it would be interpretted as ip/netmask | 23:49 |
| symtab | i know its wrong..i just wanted to say that the servers are also connected in a internal network | 23:49 |
| symtab | i'm not the best networking expert :( | 23:49 |
| symtab | as you can see | 23:49 |
| Deeps | use a + sign, use a comma, and yes, thats why i'm teaching as we go along :) | 23:50 |
| Deeps | ok | 23:50 |
| Deeps | can server A ping the external gateway? | 23:50 |
| symtab | yes | 23:50 |
| Deeps | can server B? | 23:50 |
| symtab | and server B cant ping the gateway | 23:50 |
| symtab | :( | 23:50 |
| symtab | hmm | 23:50 |
| Deeps | do you control the gateway? | 23:51 |
| symtab | no i dont, but i can speak with the person who does | 23:51 |
| Deeps | is it possible that the gateway has filtering on it, to restrict access to specific IPs or MAC addresses? | 23:51 |
| symtab | let me ask | 23:51 |
| JaxxMaxx_ | have them ping your server B external IP from the gateway | 23:51 |
| symtab | hmm, seems like the admin is not there | 23:53 |
| symtab | if i try this | 23:53 |
| Deeps | alternatively, unplug server a from the external switch, assign it's IP to server B, spoof server A's external interface's MAC address onto server B | 23:53 |
| Deeps | and then retry | 23:53 |
| symtab | get the cable from the server that is working and plug it in the server that is not working | 23:53 |
| symtab | should this work? | 23:53 |
| symtab | of course reconfigure the ip | 23:53 |
| Deeps | ifconfig externalinterface down | 23:53 |
| symtab | i know how to use ifconfig (or at least i think i know :-) | 23:54 |
| Deeps | ifconfig externalinterface inet <ip> netmask <netmask> hw ether <mac address of server a's external interface> | 23:54 |
| Deeps | ifconfig externalinterface inet <ip> netmask <netmask> hw ether <mac address of server a's external interface> up | 23:54 |
| symtab | ok | 23:54 |
| symtab | i will try this | 23:54 |
| Deeps | make sure both are unplugged when you do the configuration | 23:55 |
| Deeps | plug in the cable once it's done | 23:55 |
| Deeps | oh | 23:55 |
| Deeps | it might be worth noting the original MAC of the interface | 23:55 |
| symtab | ok | 23:59 |
| symtab | so what i did | 23:59 |
| symtab | i assigned server's A ip to server B (also reconfigured the gateway) | 23:59 |
