linuxpoetany ubuntu folks in here familiar with postgresql02:03
NCommanderlinuxpoet, I am02:09
linuxpoetI need someone who would be willing to give a talk on optimize and configuring postgresql, the ubuntu way02:10
NCommanderfor what, UDW?02:12
linuxpoethttp://www.postgresqlconference.org/02:14
KaramonHow can I begin to troubleshoot a networking issue with ubuntu server 8.10 running it w/VMWare player with the official ubuntu image, I can run the desktop version with no issues but the server edition isn't working for me02:17
NCommanderlinuxpoet, I can't claim an being an expert on postgres optimization02:18
NCommanderI'm sorry02:18
linuxpoetThat's ok. I would give the talk myself but I am running the conference :P02:19
NCommanderrofl02:21
NCommanderI'd also assume I'd need to be in person which would be troublesome unless its based in NYS02:21
linuxpoetNYS?02:21
linuxpoetOh NY State02:21
linuxpoetactually that isn't as much of a problem, that is what sponsorship is for02:21
NCommanderWell, I can give the configuration part02:24
NCommanderBut I'm not that much of an expert in optimization02:24
NCommander(I do use postgresql in production enviornments, I'm one of the coders of Ubuntu REVU which is Postgres based)02:24
* linuxpoet is one of the lead consultants for http://www.commandprompt.com/02:25
NCommanderI am however a very quick study ;-)02:25
KaramonAnyone know how to troubleshoot a VMWare network issue?  eth0 won't come up with some weird errors.02:25
linuxpoetKaramon: perhaps an explanation of the errors would be helpful02:26
NCommanderlinuxpoet, what extactly did you want in this conference?02:27
Karamonhttp://pastebin.com/d4c20c99e02:28
linuxpoetWell obviously it is a postgresql conference02:28
linuxpoetbut mostly I am trying to show postgresql's flexibility02:28
NCommanderI realize that :-P02:28
NCommanderI mean what did you want an Ubuntu developer to talk about specifically, I can give configuration (and given some time, optimization)02:28
linuxpoetThat is a tough one because obviously linux is linux (for this consideration)02:29
linuxpoetBut since IMO Ubuntu is the shiznit I wanted Ubuntu to represent02:29
NCommanderWell, Postgres is similar enoughly configured between Ubuntu and Debian02:29
NCommanderWrapping the two together shouldn't be that hard02:29
linuxpoetKaramon: what happens if you /sbin/ifconfig02:30
linuxpoetand I assume this is on the guest? not the host?02:30
KaramonRunning the server inside windows ( I think is what your asking )02:31
Karamonlinuxpoet: Only thing that really sucks is I have to hand type out the output02:31
linuxpoetyou are running windows as the host?02:31
linuxpoetwow02:32
NCommanderGutsy ;-)02:32
KaramonI had to give up my dedicated box that I used to run my web server on, now I'm trying out the virtual appliance02:33
lolufaildoes the standard mkinitramfs command detect a xfs over lvm over dm-crypt over md-raid setup?02:33
linuxpoetgutsy is one term for it02:34
linuxpoetor pun02:34
Karamonlinuxpoet: http://pastebin.com/d2c59df3802:36
linuxpoetwell that is certainly a non detected eth002:36
linuxpoetcheck your dmesg to see if it sees anything at all02:36
Karamonlinuxpoet: http://pastebin.com/d1904e45c02:43
linuxpoetok it sees it02:43
linuxpoetso try this02:43
linuxpoet->/sbin/ifconfig eth002:44
Karamoneth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found02:44
lolufaildmesg | grep eth002:44
lolufailoh nevermind ;)02:45
lolufailbut wait, that's weird:02:46
lolufailcat dmesg | grep eth002:46
lolufail[  64.136139] e1000: e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection02:46
linuxpoetlolufail: dmesg|grep would have worked too02:46
lolufailtell me where you see "eth0" there?02:46
lolufailthe output is forged ;)02:47
KaramonYeah I have to hand type it, that was a mistake on my part02:47
KaramonI can't cut and paste from a VM appliance02:47
lolufaildo a:02:48
lolufailbrctl show02:48
Karamonnot installed and I can't install it without a network connection :P02:48
lolufailk02:48
lolufailI think your eth0 has been renamed, that's the only thing I can think of02:49
lolufailgrep eth /var/log/messages02:49
lolufailgrep eth /var/log/kern.log02:49
lolufailwhat VM software are you using?02:51
KaramonVMWare Player.. 2.0.4 build 9305702:51
KaramonAll refrences in log say eth002:54
lolufailhm, I can only speak from my xen experience... if eth0 suddenly disappears, the bridge script failed...02:54
lolufailwhat does ifconfig -a say?02:57
lolufailany new interfaces?02:57
KaramonYes there is eth1, but ifup doesn't work says not configured03:00
KaramonHow do I configure it?03:00
Deepsedit /etc/network/interfaces03:00
Karamon... that was strange, but I'm glad it was that simple03:01
KaramonThanks for the help everyone :)03:01

tarvidwhat's the easiest way to get bind9 to start at boot03:12
lolufailI like sysv-rc-conf03:15
lolufailthough it should start automatically if im not mistaken03:15
tarvidit should03:16
nodoubtcan bind run correctly from var/lib/named/etc ? is this a newbie friendly location for bind to live?03:18
tarvidlolufail, puzzled. restart at 20:58:0403:28
lolufailhm?03:28
tarvid21:27:07 bind starts (manually)03:28
tarvidsysv marked for 2,3,4,503:28
tarvidno " bind" messages inbetween03:29
lolufailtarvid: hm.03:30
lolufailwell, are you in one of those runelvels ;) ?03:31
tarvidI am in gnome and bind9 looks like mysql, cvsd, ntop in sysv but bind9 does not start automatically but starts manually03:32
lolufailsry, I dont know. I'm more a gentoo guy ;)03:33
lolufailrc-status would be helpful ;)03:33
tarvidhow do I get that03:35
lolufailyou dont03:35
lolufailgentoo tool :P03:35
lolufaildid you check all the logs for messages at boot time coming from bind?03:36
tarvidthere are none03:36
tarvidthere is an amazing amount of crap I could probably live without03:36
tarvidbind may be stuck behind something else like winbindd03:36
tarvidrc-alert is impressively long03:38
tarvidI guess I can get used to starting it manually until I get around to reloading03:44
tarvidseveral upgrades without a reload and this is the box where things get vetted03:45
tarvidi set bind up as a caching webserver because my upstream server is funky03:45
favroI use an old comp at home for a file server - is it healthy to have the hard disks spinning down when not in use?03:47
tarvidfavro, an ancient argument03:50
tarvidI never spin down03:51
tarvidbut I have had a few hard drive failures03:51
tarvidI suspect there is more risk in spinning up and down is greater than leaving them spinning03:52
favrotarvid: I changed it in bios this morn and later I accessed one drive and it fired up with a grating noise...03:52
tarvidbackup now03:52
favroso I'm concerned03:52
tarvidget another drive03:52
favrotarvid: already done03:52
tarvidgood man03:53
tarvidraspy power outages seen particularly dangerous too03:53
tarvidI put all my systems on a UPS so the ups and downs are minimized03:53
favromy disks on the little server can go a few days without being accessed so I wanted to save some power03:55
tarvidlittle used and stable data might be served well by flash03:56
tarvidlooking at little falls boards for low power servers03:57
favrothat's why I'm in two minds - it is a file server/torrent box/mythtv backend - it can be busy for days or idla for days03:58
favro*idle03:58
tarvidintel little falls should be good for that03:59
tarvidhaven't looked for low power hard disks04:00
tarvidcapturing video can get huge04:00
tarvidlolufail, thanks for the counsel, installed bum, it's cute04:06
lamontScottK: how is it that your debdiff doesn't change debian/rules?05:32
ScottKlamont: Because I stared at your debian/rules for a while and then concluded I didn't understand it well enough to integrate it.05:33
lamontheh. ok.05:33
lamontyou thinking /usr/sbin for it?05:33
ScottKlamont: I left this to you (we've discussed this a while ago)05:33
ScottKYes.05:33
ScottKI tried to give them specific enough names that would be OK.05:34
lamontand I forgive you for having a changelog diff in your diff. :-)05:37
ScottKWell it applied at the time I uploaded it ...05:38
ScottKEasy enough to edit out anyway.05:38
lamontyeah, but having changelog in commits is guaranteed non-mergabliilty05:38

ScottKYou and your new fangled VCS stuff.... Bah.05:39
ScottKGreat.05:39
lamontcommitted in 2.5.4-2, and building to test here05:39
ScottKGreat.  Did you add Cocker's dechroot script?05:39
lamontmeh05:39
lamontI added your debdiff from your last comment on 24733205:40
ScottKIt was suggested to me on postfix-users that such a script would be a good idea.  I said I'd talk to you about it.  I've done that.05:40
ScottKThanks.05:40
lamontheh.  I haven't seen his script, so I don't exactly have enough to render an opinion on the subject05:40
lamontOTOH, I do need to go get some shuteye so that I can wake up in the morning and all that05:41

spiekeyhello!11:02
spiekeyi would like to use pidstat but i read i need to build my own kernel for it.11:03
spiekey...With its -d option, pidstat can report I/O statistics, providing that you have a recent Linux kernel (2.6.20+) with the option CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING compiled in...11:04
spiekeyhowever, there is no such option in the current 2.6.25 release11:04

taconehello, virt-manager I get "Paravirtualized" grayed out. doesn't that work with qemu ?16:34
Deepsdont think so16:34
taconeok, thanks16:35
Deepsyou'll want kvm or vmware for paravirtualisation i think16:35
nijabaoops that was the wrong chan16:35
taconeDeeps: I installed kvm, but it doesn't show in the list. I only have xen and qemu16:35
taconeoh, maybe I need a modified kernel on the host machine ? I thought it was about the guest kernel.16:36
Deepsafaik kvm support's integrated into the stock ubuntu kernel16:40

sorenI need a DNS wiz to explain something to me.21:21
sorenI've registered a domain, jungberg.dk. If I do a "host -t ns jungberg.dk", I get the correct response.21:22
sorenHowever...21:22
sorenIf I do what I thought a DNS server would do to find that answer for me, I come up empty.21:22
sorenHere's what I think it does:21:22
sorenIt finds the name server for the .dk tld.21:23
soren...so I do a "host -t ns dk.", and get [abclps].nic.dk.21:23
sorenThen, it asks one of those for the NS for jungberg.dk.21:24
soren...so I do a "host -t ns jungberg.dk. a.nic.dk".21:24
sorenAnd that's where my world falls apart.21:24
sorenI get jungberg.dk has no NS record21:24
sorenI get the same result if I ask [bclps].nic.dk.21:24
sorenwhiskey... tango... foxtrot...21:25
sorenCan someone explain this to me?21:25

sorenCan I at least hear someone say that "yes, that really *does* look weird"?22:01
jmedinaYes, that really does look weird, dont say thanks...22:01
sorenjmedina: Don't worry. I won't :)22:07
nxvl\o/22:07
fromportsoren: since a.nic.dk is not authoritive name server for your domain, it will respond with the "no NS record"22:40
fromportonly  host -t ns jungberg.dk ns[1 till 5].gratisdns.dk. will answer that posive22:40
qhartmanso, I've been working with getting some Xen stuff going, and I noticed today that my hardy VM's stopped in the boot process just after "Reloading OpenBSD Secure Shell server's configuration sshd"22:45
qhartmanI figured it was a Xen thing, but I rebooted the host, and now it's doing the same thing. Any thoughts?22:45
qhartmanI can still get in via SSH, but logging into the local tty is impossible.22:46
qhartmanhuh, it looks like it is somehow related to Xen.... when I forced a reboot some error messages including "xm " flashed by real quick... wheee!22:47
sorenfromport: Erm.. No.22:56
sorenfromport: Ok, answer me this: How did you come up with ns[1-5].gratisdns.dk?22:57
sorenfromport: (supposed) answer: based on the ns responses from a.nic.dk, right?22:57
soren*those* are the ones, I'm not receiving.22:57
sorenAnd *that's* what I don't get.22:57
sorenfromport: It wouldn't work if the only way to find out which server was the authoritative one, was to ask the authoritative one.22:58
