trimetaI'm having trouble with my LVM-RAID1 setup.04:31
trimetaI had an existing volume group with one physical volume (which was actually a RAID1 device) and two logical volumes.04:32
trimetaI just added a second physical volume (also actually a RAID1 device), extended one of my logical volumes to fill the volume group, and grew the filesystem.04:32
trimetaWhen booting from a LiveCD, I can see my volume group with no difficulty, mount the logical volumes, etc.04:33
trimetaHowever, when booting from the system, I get the following errors:04:33
trimetaAnyone here, or should I not bother posting the full error?04:34
ScottKtrimeta: This channel is much more active during the European/US business day.04:36
trimetaScottK: Fair enough.04:37
trimetaDo you know much about RAID or LVM, though?04:37
trimetaIn particular, it appears (though I could be entirely wrong here) that for some reason Ubuntu isn't properly initializing one of my RAID1 devices at boot.04:46
ScottKtrimeta: Nope.04:49
trimetaI'll check in the main channel, there're always people there, at least.05:22

CrummyGummyHiya, I'm looking to bond two interfaces together. I've done it in centos like this -> http://tinyurl.com/5du6yu but all the info I've found on the subject for Ubuntu points to installing ifenslave. The Centos way looks cleaner to say the least. Am I correct in this?07:29

zuls/guest/guess/g14:40
dendrobateszul: yup14:41
ScottKdendrobates: (Assuming your the Server Team rep a the release meeting) - Clamav has a new RC out.  They don't go final until 3 Nov, so we're kind of stuck.  Generally their RC -> Final is just security fixes.  So I'd like to discuss uploading the RC and then putting the final in -updates (assuming it all tests well, etc.)14:42
ScottKIf we upload the RC soonish, that gives us a better chance of having any breakage detected and fixed in their final release.14:42
ScottKI'll be at the meeting for MOTU, so I can discuss.14:43
dendrobatesScottK: it is late, but I am open to it.14:45
ScottKdendrobates: It's 0.94 -> 0.94.1 so history says it should be pretty compatible.14:46
ScottKIt's almost all bug fix.14:46
dendrobatesScottK: We might get some push back.14:47

slestaki have a 8.04.1 server running in a vm as a lamp server.  it is a new install.  mysql5 is running, but i cannot seem to log in (in order to set the root passwd).  mysqladmin -u root dumps usage info instead of putting me into the mysql shell15:12
slestaki have googled and looked at the ubuntu server guide, but rtfm doesnt seem to be effective for me righ tnow :)15:14
zulhi mathiaz you were asking about vmbuilder/ec2 last night?15:14
sommerslestak: you should have been prompted to set the password during the mysql-server install15:14
slestakmaybe the root user doesnt exist yet?15:14
sommerslestak: you should be able reset it using sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server15:15
slestaksommer: i dont remember that prompt.  i mustve passed it.  ok, tyvm I will try that.15:15
slestaki never fully grasped the user and security model of mysql.  i need to study15:15
sommeryou can get pretty fined grained per table per database per user permissions with mysql15:17
slestakive found imo, i can get more done faster with postgres, but not all products i want to use support it :)15:20
slestakis it super important to have a super hard, guarded mysql root password, or is the root user not a su like it is for *nix15:21
sommerslestak: I think so, there's usually important stuff in the db :)15:22
slestaksommer: but it is not recommended it be the same pwd as the server right15:22
slestakis it accepted to be the same as the host server?15:23
sommerI usually make it different from the server15:24
sommerdoesn'15:24
sommert necessarily have to be though15:24
ScottKdendrobates: I just realized the release meeting starts at the same time I have to pick up a kid from school, so if Server Team gets up before I get there, please just insert a placeholder for clamav so we can come back to it when I get there.15:25
cpu_tempI`m running ubuntu server. How can I permanently change "ulimit -n". "ulimit -n" gives "1024" and "cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max" gives "65535".  So, what to belive?15:36

cpu_temphenkjan: wrote "* hard nofile 65535"15:38
cpu_temphenkjan: I also tryied the sysctl method -> ulimit -n still gives 102415:39
dendrobatesScottK: ok15:50
slestaksommer: i verified mysql is running with ps -ef but the dpkg-reconfigure command we discussed returns nothing and propmts for nothing.15:55
ivoksslestak: what's the problem?16:02
mathiaznijaba: I've filed a bunch of bugs against vmbuilder16:02
mathiaznijaba: as a result of yesterday's testing16:03
mathiaznijaba: someone should go through them and set an importance and figure out which one should be targeted for intrepid16:03
nijabamathiaz: I did see them this morning.  I've still been trying to fix the grub error 2.  I am at the point where, comparing images created with uvb and pvb show NO significant difference in /boot, but one boots and the other does not, so I think I will wait for soren's return on that one16:06
nijabamathiaz: I'll be triagging the others, but it seems that you mentioned a couple others that are not in the bug list (such as a problem with --dest), didn't you?16:07

slugg1hi. i've installed ubuntu server on my old computer. i included openssh during installation, and after installation i've installed openjdk, which didn't work for glassfish so i installed java from sun instead and then glassfish. That's all that's installed. I'm having problems with running glassfish, the start script will run normally - but the glassfish process will die, either instantaneously or after a while. After being up a few day16:56
slugg1i've altered the $PATH to include glassfish, and $JAVA_HOME to point to the correct java16:58
slugg1that should include every modification i've done to the system16:58
slugg1(all actions have been done through ssh)17:00
slugg1oh, and the system is updated17:02

daturansergevn, when you bring the machine back on line does the syslog show anything interesting? and does using the -v switch on the client when you try to ssh?19:41
sergevndaturan: by syslog you mean dmesg?19:51
sergevndaturan: it's not only ssh, it's all the network daemon's :)19:52
daturanwell I would check the /var/log/syslog19:52
daturanyea I just had a similar issue,,19:53
sergevnwell there doesnt seem to be anything spectacular in syslog19:53
sergevnill start with disabling nfs, maybe that's a problem19:54
daturanyea I would try using verbose when ssh won't connect, at least you'll see what you're not getting,, can you telnet to 22 when ssh and the other services aren't working?19:54
sergevnyeah, i can telnet, that is the strange thing, alle the tcp! network daemon's dont give a reply back19:55
sergevnonly an empty row :)19:55
daturanyea, that's weird, I just lost a bunch of .so files so all kinds of services failed19:56
sergevnthe only thing that is left to try19:57
sergevnis changing the the router where it's behind now19:57
daturanI did an strace on ssh ,,, that's how I found what was missing,, I don't know how you'd do it for server services19:57
sergevnbut dont think that is problem, because when i reboot the server, everything is fine19:57
daturanyea,, like you said it does look like it may be a hardware issue,, and dmesg should have shown something,, I dont' really know at this point19:58
sergevnagree. very frustrating, it's my backup server19:58
sergevnreboot is ghetto solution but..19:58
daturanhey it works,, at least till you can replace the hardware20:00
daturancan you leave a ssh session open? or does the problem cut off existing connections?20:00
sergevnhavent tried that one yet.20:01
sergevngood one20:01
daturanyea at least you could poke around, it's tough when you don't have phy access20:01
