| Psi-Jack- | I'm curious. | 00:11 |
|---|---|---|
| Psi-Jack- | Debian still uses the old ifconfig/route stack for pretty much all network initialization, including in ifup/ifdown. | 00:11 |
| Psi-Jack- | Has Ubuntu made any efforts to move this into iproute2 days? | 00:11 |
| laen | Zelest: gotta admit that i don't use libvirt, but i haven't found a direct way to do it either.. will let you know if i do :) | 00:42 |
| laen | Psi-Jack-: i doubt ifconfig is gonna dissapear cause of iproute2 | 00:44 |
| Psi-Jack- | Never said that. | 00:44 |
| Psi-Jack- | I just wanted to know if Ubuntu's working towards, or already has, started using iproute2 tools over ifconfig/route like most other distributions have already been doing. | 00:45 |
| Psi-Jack- | Debian, I already know, is still not using iproute2 unless you use it manually yourself. | 00:45 |
| Swapswap | Why does the motd think I need to restart the server? | 01:35 |
| jmarsden | Swapswap: motd doesn't, landscape=sysinfo does. Because you installed an updated package that requires it, possibly an updated kernel. | 02:12 |
| Swapswap | Is there a way to figure out what exactly? | 02:14 |
| jmarsden | Swapswap: Yes... but you seem to have left... read /var/log/dpkg.log | 02:20 |
| tesseracter | ive looked all over the web for my situation, and have not found clear advice, understanding, or steps. the situation is ubuntu-desktop, 2 SSDs in a raid0, ext4. do i need a separate boot partition? can it be raid1? can the filesystem root be in the raid partition? | 02:32 |
| === klearr_goddamnit is now known as klear | ||
| bogeyd6 | tesseracter, you dont need a separate boot partition, it can be raid 1 if hardware supports it, yes the root partition can be in the raid | 03:06 |
| bogeyd6 | tesseracter, i hope that is clear enough | 03:08 |
| tesseracter | bogeyd6: my current error when installing ubuntu is something about the boot install of grub failing. i'll see if i can get some more specific details. | 03:08 |
| bogeyd6 | tesseracter, are you letting ubuntu suggest the partitions or are you trying to make the partitions yourself? | 03:09 |
| tesseracter | i made the software raid in palimpsest, then select it in the install - thats the only way that i found to select the raid array. | 03:10 |
| bogeyd6 | yeah thats the prob bro | 03:11 |
| bogeyd6 | Let your hardware do the raid | 03:11 |
| bogeyd6 | ubuntu will see it as a single drive and just make the partitions or accept the default partitions | 03:12 |
| jmarsden | bogeyd6: he has 2 (SATA) SSDs, how can "the hardware do the RAID" ? he lacks a hardware RAID controller. | 03:12 |
| bogeyd6 | you dont need software raid running on raid hardware | 03:12 |
| bogeyd6 | jmarsden, most computers, nay servers, have built in hardware raid, as fake as it may be, but you should let the hw do the work when available | 03:13 |
| tesseracter | i dont have a hardware raid controller, the mobo has intel matrix raid support, which takes just as much cpu as software raid, and its raid0, so the cpu hit is negligible. | 03:13 |
| jmarsden | bogeyd6: No, you should NOT use fakeraid with Linux, in general. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto -- see that warning! | 03:14 |
| bogeyd6 | jmarsden, can you be more specific on where the warnings are | 03:16 |
| jmarsden | bogeyd6: You should be able to set up a Software RAID1 arrangement using the Ubuntu alternate installer. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID | 03:16 |
| tesseracter | from what i've read, software raid for a single user system is fine. im not dual booting, so windows doesnt need to understand the setup. | 03:16 |
| jmarsden | bogey: Read the page. It says "FakeRAID is not supported by Ubuntu. Trying to install Ubuntu on such a partition could easily result in the loss of all your data." | 03:16 |
| jmarsden | tesseracter: You are correct. Use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID | 03:17 |
| tesseracter | jmarsden: ok, so that page says that the boot partition must be raid1. ive got 2 64gb drives, OCZ recommends 2-4gb unpartitioned for erase blocks, which leaves ~60gb for stuff. how big should a boot partition be? | 03:19 |
| jmarsden | tesseracter: 1GB is plenty. | 03:20 |
| jmarsden | There are people who use 100MB for /boot | 03:22 |
| tesseracter | well, i've had problems and needed to return to previous kernels in the past, so i'll stick with 1gb. | 03:22 |
| tesseracter | and im backing everything up on a 2tb drive daily, network weekly, so clearing everything isnt a huge problem. | 03:24 |
| bogeyd6 | sounds like you got this | 03:25 |
| bogeyd6 | we got servers at work that load their /var/www/ from a SAN into a ramdisk so they can be super fast | 03:25 |
| tesseracter | bogeyd6: i try, but there are a bunch of complications at every turn. i still havent figured out alignment. | 03:26 |
| tesseracter | and yeah, im finishing things off with an extra 4gb of ram(8 total) and setting up a tmpfs for /tmp and various caches | 03:27 |
| bogeyd6 | you got 8gb total ram installed not including swap? | 03:28 |
| tesseracter | only 4 right now, 4 in the mail. | 03:28 |
| bogeyd6 | you going 64bit or pae? | 03:29 |
| tesseracter | im 64 bit at the moment. quadcore watercooled, if it matters. modeling workstation. | 03:30 |
| tesseracter | the trouble is i spend so much time figuring out how it all works, and i've gotta get stuff done starting tomorrow morning. | 03:31 |
| bogeyd6 | tesseracter, might i ask the goal you are working towards? | 03:32 |
| tesseracter | bogeyd6: im almost there. a comfortable blender workstation. | 03:33 |
| tesseracter | and silence is very valuable to me, thats why the ssds and watercooling(looks cool too) | 03:34 |
| bogeyd6 | graphical? | 03:34 |
| tesseracter | blender = 3d modeling, for game models and cutscreens. | 03:35 |
| MTecknology | !search pdo | 03:51 |
| ubottu | Found: | 03:51 |
| MTecknology | hrm... how do I get PDO? | 03:51 |
| MTecknology | or enable it.. | 03:53 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: I don't understand the question... you browse to it... http://packages.debian.org/PACKAGENAME | 03:55 |
| jmarsden | What do you want it to do for you? | 03:55 |
| MTecknology | how do I install it | 03:55 |
| tesseracter | jmarsden: can you link that page again? the software raid one? | 03:55 |
| jmarsden | You can't install a web site...? | 03:55 |
| MTecknology | hu? | 03:55 |
| jmarsden | tesseracter: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID | 03:55 |
| MTecknology | PDO is an extention of PHP | 03:56 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: pdo is short for packages.debian.org which is a web site... | 03:56 |
| jmarsden | Ah, looks like we have a TLA namespace collision ! | 03:56 |
| MTecknology | oh | 03:56 |
| jmarsden | I think ther PHp PDO extension is included in the php5-mysql package, or it used to be... | 03:57 |
| MTecknology | I have that installed... | 03:58 |
| MTecknology | i php5-mysql - MySQL module for php5 | 03:58 |
| jmarsden | dpkg -L php5-mysql | grep -i pdo # suggests there is PDO stuff in there... | 03:59 |
| jmarsden | What exactly are you trying to do? | 03:59 |
| MTecknology | jmarsden: Install Durpal 7 | 04:01 |
| FireCrotch | MTecknology: you have to install pdo from pecl :) | 04:01 |
| MTecknology | FireCrotch: :( | 04:02 |
| FireCrotch | MTecknology: you'll need to have php5-dev installed, as well | 04:02 |
| FireCrotch | pecl install pdo && pecl install pdo_mysql | 04:02 |
| MTecknology | FireCrotch: what jmarsden just mentioned shows /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/pdo_mysql.so | 04:02 |
| MTecknology | and /etc/php5/conf.d/pdo_mysql.ini | 04:02 |
| jmarsden | FireCrotch: Are you sure? PHP PDO was added in Ubuntu Edgy precicely to avoid the need to do that. | 04:02 |
| FireCrotch | eh jmarsden is probably right :) | 04:03 |
| jmarsden | I'm not a PHP expert, but... seems odd that such support in Ubuntu would have regressed. | 04:03 |
| MTecknology | pecl feels like an additional package manager - I don't want to need to go to the dark and ugly days of playing with ruby | 04:04 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: My thoughts too. | 04:04 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: Drupal6 is packaged and easy to install... looks like Drupal7 is shiny and new and not packaged for Lucid yet... | 04:06 |
| MTecknology | That .so being there makes me think it is just a matter of enabling it | 04:06 |
| MTecknology | I don't use web apps like Drupal from repos; I develope for them so I need things that are up to date | 04:06 |
| MTecknology | Drupal7 isn't released yet - I'm just starting to develop with it | 04:07 |
| FireCrotch | MTecknology: it *should* be enabled since the pdo_mysql.ini file is there | 04:07 |
| FireCrotch | MTecknology: unless your /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/ doesn't have it? | 04:07 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: Then logically you should package Drupal7, and then install your package(s), right? :) | 04:08 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: On my Karmic box here, installing apache2 and php5-mysql and friends gets me a system where phpinfo() shows: PDO support enabled | 04:11 |
| jmarsden | So I'd say it "just works" here, as far as that very basic check goes. | 04:11 |
| MTecknology | jmarsden: D7 should be released before it gets packages IMO | 04:12 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: If you are using something you should package it (even if from a DVCS or whatever) so you know what you installed and where... IMO :) | 04:12 |
| MTecknology | It's just a tarball you drop in /var/www | 04:13 |
| jmarsden | I package betas and RCs of things all the time for internal/personal/test use. | 04:13 |
| MTecknology | I'm not good enough at packaging for that | 04:13 |
| FireCrotch | MTecknology: it would be good practice :) | 04:13 |
| jmarsden | FireCrotch: That's exactly what I was going to say :) | 04:13 |
| FireCrotch | jmarsden: great minds think alike :) | 04:14 |
| MTecknology | I may do that eventually; for now I need to have D7 working | 04:14 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: OK, so what exactly is broken? What fails, what error msgs are you seeing? | 04:15 |
| MTecknology | http://staging7.profarius.com/ | 04:15 |
| MTecknology | I was told this is because it's lacking PDO - I'll try phpinfo() | 04:15 |
| MTecknology | drivers mysql | 04:16 |
| MTecknology | interesting | 04:16 |
| MTecknology | jmarsden: FireCrotch: thanks... it must be some other error :( | 04:19 |
| jmarsden | BTW I just did wget -O - -c http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-7.x-dev.tar.gz | tar -C /var/www -zxf - and it gets me to the installer screen just fine when I browse to it, so yes, it must be something else. | 04:19 |
| MTecknology | i got to the installer fine, it's during install that it breaks | 04:19 |
| jmarsden | OK, I can try it... | 04:20 |
| lwizardl | is there a printable pdf version of https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/ | 04:22 |
| andol | lwizardl: Something like https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/serverguide.pdf ? | 04:24 |
| lwizardl | awesome thanks :) | 04:25 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: drupal7 installer working fine here except I need to up the default max memory for PHP... doing that now... | 04:28 |
| jmarsden | MTecknology: Seems to "just work" here on Karmic 9.10 amd64 once I change that memory limit to 32MB. | 04:30 |
| MTecknology | jmarsden: I just wiped all the tables - I'll try again | 04:33 |
