| fbc-mx | JanC, but I get mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdc: Device or resource busy | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| JanC | so actually, sdd is now sdc, and was never part of the array, right? | 00:00 |
| MTecknology | fbc-mx: um? - i thought you said you combined sdc and add | 00:00 |
| fbc-mx | Yes, sdc and sdd were the array | 00:00 |
| MTecknology | s/add/sdd/ | 00:00 |
| MTecknology | "mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc" <- not sdd | 00:00 |
| fbc-mx | MTecknology, no sdc and sdd were always a raid 1 | 00:00 |
| fbc-mx | MTecknology, I did but I get mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdc: Device or resource busy | 00:01 |
| MTecknology | i have to nap - else I'm going to pass out- I hope JanC can help out | 00:02 |
| fbc-mx | MTecknology, JanC , http://pastebin.com/hbAk3hTG | 00:02 |
| JanC | fbc-mx: what's in your fstab ? | 00:04 |
| fbc-mx | JanC, http://pastebin.com/qXP9aW87 | 00:05 |
| fbc-mx | MTecknology, thanks for all your help | 00:08 |
| fbc-mx | JanC, any idea? | 00:08 |
| JanC | my idea is you screwed something up, but I'm not sure where ;) | 00:09 |
| fbc-mx | JanC, how do I format /dev/sdc as to erase the disk and start over again | 00:14 |
| JanC | first of all, it seems like you partitioned those disk? | 00:15 |
| JanC | that's not really necessary | 00:15 |
| JanC | and you better not partition a disk before using it as a raid | 00:17 |
| JanC | *better not format is* | 00:17 |
| MTecknology | JanC: that's what happened; he had partitions on it | 01:29 |

| Irunongames | I don't know | 04:12 |
| JanC | you can see in the Software sources configuration | 04:13 |

| Irunongames | how do I get it? | 04:14 |
| jpds | Irunongames: Pick a mirror on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors and copy and paste the entries on the mirror's page. | 04:16 |
| JanC | that file missing might point to other things missing too... | 04:16 |
| Irunongames | I just type in "deb http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE main " | 04:18 |
| Irunongames | nothing else? | 04:18 |

| JanC | there are sources list generators like: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ | 04:22 |
| JanC | sudo nano /etc/sources.list | 04:23 |
| JanC | taht will open an editor | 04:23 |
| JanC | paste it in | 04:24 |
| Irunongames | do I just paste in the links? | 04:24 |
| JanC | the shhortcuts to save & exit should be at the bottom somewhere | 04:24 |

| apstanto | I have an ibm laptop with a Pentium III. Should I use the 32bit version of ubuntu 9.10 server? | 05:03 |
| qman__ | yes | 05:08 |
| qman__ | Intel didn't implement the x64 extensions until the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition | 05:09 |
| apstanto | ok thanks! why is the 32bit iso image 690MB and the 64bit iso image only 655 MB? | 05:16 |
| ubuntu | im guessing there are some packages that have not been compiled for 64bit yet that are not included in the 64bit edition | 05:20 |
| ubuntu | these packages probobly introduce bugs in a a64bit environment | 05:20 |
| ScottK | ubuntu: There aren't many of those that are an issue on servers. | 05:21 |
| ubuntu | just a guess | 05:21 |
| ubuntu | ScottK, im guessing they arent an issue because they were excluded | 05:21 |
| ScottK | Usually 64 bit binaries are bigger, so the package selection on CD is somewhat less, but they are still available online. | 05:22 |
| uvirtbot | New bug: #224665 in ntp (main) "ntpd starts but does not contact peers" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/224665 | 05:24 |
| apstanto | What does "package selection on CD" mean? | 05:25 |
| ScottK | The stuff that's on the ISO. | 05:27 |
| ScottK | It's been a while since I looked hard at what was seeded on the 32/64 bit server ISOs. | 05:27 |
| apstanto | if the binary is bigger, why is the iso smaller? | 05:28 |
| ScottK | I'm not sure. | 05:29 |
| ScottK | As I said I haven't looked at it recently. | 05:29 |
| ScottK | Generally though any package that's not on the ISO for 64 bit can still be installed from the online repositories, so I don't find it particularly concerining. | 05:30 |
| apstanto | Yeah | 05:33 |
| netritious | Hi, how do I mount a USB thumb drive from console? Using Hardy Server i386. | 07:35 |
| blue-frog | netritious, has it been recognized by the system when you inserted it? | 07:38 |
| blue-frog | do you see it in dmseg | 07:38 |
| blue-frog | dmesg | 07:38 |
| netritious | blue-frog: not appearing in dmesg :-/ this is an older machine with a PCI USB 2.0 adapter card though..might that be my problem maybe? | 07:41 |
| blue-frog | netritious, if the server does not create an entry in /dev/ it will be a problem indeed | 07:42 |
| netritious | looks to be the problem...strange, it seems that the card is detected but as of yet anything I connect doesn't seem to have an effect | 07:45 |
| netritious | blue-frog: will try some other things. Thank you for assisting. :) | 07:49 |

| Zider | phpsysinfo shows temp too | 14:57 |
| Zider | both cputemps and HDDs | 14:58 |
| jrwren | you probably need sensors setup correctly for phpsysinfo to show it. | 15:05 |
| jrwren | does sensors work from cmdline ? | 15:05 |
| jaypur | jrwren, sorry if i'm too late, didn't see | 15:10 |
| jaypur | jrwren, yes... everything is ok... where can i set at phpsys? | 15:11 |
| jaypur | jrwren, i think it just shows the HD temperature, not the cpu or mb | 15:23 |
| Irunongames | Hello??? | 15:42 |
| Irunongames | I need help with getting packages | 15:43 |
| Irunongames | My server doesn't have any packages | 15:46 |
| lil_cain | What do you mean? | 15:48 |
| lil_cain | Is apt not workign? | 15:48 |
| Irunongames | Their are no packages at all | 15:49 |
| lil_cain | so you have nothing installed? | 15:49 |
| Irunongames | their is no /ext/apt/sources.list | 15:49 |
| Irunongames | how do I create it? | 15:49 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: the correct path is /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:51 |
| lil_cain | Irunongames: What version of ubuntu? | 15:52 |
| Irunongames | guntbert Wow, that explains a lot >< | 15:52 |
| Irunongames | 9.10 | 15:53 |
| Irunongames | But then why can't I download any packages? | 15:53 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: :), and remember on linux case is significant too -- you can use the <tab> key to autoexpand paths and file names | 15:54 |
| jrwren | do you have a working network connection? | 15:54 |
| lil_cain | what happens when you try and install something? | 15:54 |
| lil_cain | can you pastebin the error? | 15:54 |
| Irunongames | I am running it on a virtual box | 15:55 |
| Irunongames | could that be the issue? | 15:55 |
| Irunongames | *vmware workstation | 15:55 |
| lil_cain | Unlikely. However, if your VM lacks a working network connection, that could be it. | 15:55 |
| Irunongames | I pinged google yesterday | 15:56 |
| Irunongames | So it should be working | 15:56 |
| lil_cain | Try connecting to google.com now? | 15:57 |
| Irunongames | just ping http://www.google.com | 15:57 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: won't work - it must be ping www.google.com (without the http:// part) | 15:59 |
| Irunongames | woops | 15:59 |
| * Irunongames tires it | 15:59 | |
| Irunongames | *tries | 15:59 |
| Irunongames | Ok I get a ping | 15:59 |
| lil_cain | right. Can you paste bin the error you get from apt-get install sl? | 16:00 |
| lil_cain | (or some other similar package) | 16:00 |
| Irunongames | can I do that even in VMWare? | 16:01 |
| lil_cain | the fact that it's running in vmware shouldn't change anything. | 16:02 |
| Irunongames | I'll just screenshot it | 16:06 |
| Irunongames | one sec | 16:06 |
| Irunongames | http://tinypic.com/r/2vlqpg5/5 | 16:09 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: please type sudo apt-get update | 16:11 |
| Irunongames | Connecting to security | 16:12 |
| Irunongames | how long should that take? | 16:12 |
| lil_cain | a minute or so. Probably less. | 16:13 |
| Irunongames | It's still on security -_- | 16:14 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: do I see correctly that you have no GUI? | 16:15 |
| Irunongames | guntbert probaly not | 16:16 |
| jrwren | 7.3% of 9.15GB also means a very minimal install. that is pretty cool | 16:17 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: my question was: do you have a graphical interface? | 16:17 |
| Irunongames | no | 16:18 |
| Irunongames | jrwren I should expand that o.o | 16:18 |
| Irunongames | but I am running VMWare so it's limited | 16:19 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: please use my nick or I don't get highlighted -- next test: type w3m http://www.ubuntu.com -- do you get the page? | 16:20 |
| Irunongames | I tend not to highlight because people find it annying guntbert | 16:21 |
| Irunongames | ok i'll try | 16:21 |
| Irunongames | opening socket | 16:22 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: in a support case it is important - I'm reading several channels and doing my own work too ... so it might take a long time till I notice your answer | 16:22 |
| Irunongames | http://tinypic.com/r/afeqfm/5 guntbert here is the resutl for update | 16:22 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: that shows you cannot connect to the server -- what about w3m? | 16:24 |
| Irunongames | can't load | 16:25 |
| Irunongames | guntbert | 16:25 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: could it be that you configured the system to use a proxy? | 16:26 |
| Irunongames | I think i selected it NOT to do that | 16:27 |
| Irunongames | Should I try to reinstall? | 16:27 |
| Irunongames | guntbert | 16:29 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: no need - have a look into the browser config on your host please -- is there a proxy configured? | 16:29 |
| Irunongames | nope guntbert | 16:30 |
| Irunongames | Or atleast I didn't set it up | 16:30 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: please have a look into it -- would be silly to work into the wrong direction in your guest :) | 16:31 |
| Irunongames | guntbert how do i do it? | 16:32 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: how do you what? looking into the browser config on your host system? | 16:33 |
| Irunongames | yes guntbert | 16:33 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: what is your host OS, what web browser do you use on your host system? | 16:34 |
| Irunongames | Windows 7, opera | 16:35 |
| jrwren | are you sure its not a firewall thing? | 16:36 |
| jrwren | because ping works, but the http for apt-get update fails. | 16:36 |
| jrwren | can you wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic-security/Release.gpg ? | 16:36 |
| jrwren | Irunongames: for the record, I'm of the opinion that reinstall is NEVER a good idea. These screwups are the best way to learn. | 16:37 |
| Irunongames | it resolved it | 16:38 |
| Irunongames | it is connecting | 16:38 |
| guntbert | jrwren: +1 | 16:40 |
| Irunongames | Ok, it is failing | 16:40 |

| axisys | how do I allow remote IP talk to ntpd in other words ? | 16:48 |
| axisys | i want to run rdate against it | 16:48 |
| Irunongames | guntbert opening socket | 16:48 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: that rules out the proxy idea - time to listen to jrwren's idea - are you certain that a ping from the guest to an outside system worked? | 16:53 |
| Irunongames | guntbert I got a ping back, so yes | 16:54 |
| Irunongames | want a screenshot? | 16:55 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: no, thx - now please type sudo iptables -L (will probably give several lines) | 16:56 |
| Irunongames | guntbert done | 16:57 |

| Irunongames | http://tinypic.com/r/or4f2x/5 guntbert | 17:23 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: so it has nothing to do with the firewall of the guest -- please try once more: ping -c1 www.ubuntu.com -- you should get 1 received | 17:26 |
| Irunongames | http://tinypic.com/r/2v30jtf/5 guntbert | 17:29 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: its getting stranger and stranger ... please (just for a test) disable any kind of firewall on the host, then try w3m http://www.ubuntu.com again | 17:32 |

| Irunongames | I played with my firewall a bit | 18:14 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: did you manage to disable any firewall on your host? | 18:14 |
| Irunongames | yep | 18:14 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: no in your guest type w3m www.ubuntu.com - does it connect now? | 18:16 |
| guntbert | *now | 18:16 |
| Irunongames | Opening socket | 18:17 |
| guntbert | Irunongames: same as before .... please ask in #vmware - tell them host OS, guest OS, vmware product/version and tell them that ping to remote servers works but tcp-connections don't - its either a problem in vmware or with your router | 18:20 |

| Irunongames | guntbert adding entries into /etc/resolv.conf for DNS? | 18:31 |

| shennyg | I am interested in changing the hostname on my ubuntu ec2 server.... | 20:47 |
| shennyg | I found out you should edit /etc/hostname but I don't think it works for amazon ec2... does anyone know how to do it in ec2? just mention my nick I will be around | 20:47 |
| SpamapS | shennyg: did you reboot the instance? | 21:01 |
| guntbert | !hostname | shennyg | 21:02 |
| ubottu | shennyg: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 21:02 |
| shennyg | thanks SpamapS & guntbert: I put "hostname the.name.com" into /etc/rc.local b/c in /etc/hostname all it had was ubuntu | 21:06 |
| shennyg | i have yet to test it by restarting... | 21:06 |
| qman__ | shennyg, I suggest opening a root session via "sudo -i" before you change the hostname, because it's easy to break sudo by doing so | 21:18 |
| qman__ | and then be stuck unable to reboot or undo the change | 21:18 |
| shennyg | I was using su | 21:18 |
| shennyg | is that the same thing? | 21:18 |
| qman__ | not exactly but close enough for this purpose | 21:19 |
| qman__ | there's some technical differences between sudo su, sudo -i, and sudo -s | 21:19 |
| shennyg | so how do I know if I didn't break it? | 21:19 |
| shennyg | I can still use su | 21:19 |
| qman__ | I usually open a second terminal or SSH session | 21:19 |
| shennyg | but will it take a reboot to find out? | 21:20 |
| shennyg | I did it to 4 of our productions servers and then closed the ssh session | 21:20 |
| shennyg | and I can still get into them | 21:20 |
| shennyg | with su | 21:20 |
| qman__ | well, it might not be correct after the reboot | 21:20 |
| qman__ | the problem is when you change the hostname live, and then it breaks sudo auth | 21:20 |
| shennyg | but I have yet to reboot any of them | 21:20 |
| shennyg | gotcha | 21:21 |
| qman__ | sort of like messing with pam | 21:21 |
| guntbert | !sudo | shennyg | 21:21 |
| ubottu | shennyg: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 21:21 |
| qman__ | you want to leave a root session open while you do it, so you can fix it | 21:21 |
| shennyg | but it won't stay open if I reboot | 21:22 |
| guntbert | qman__: well said :-) | 21:22 |
| qman__ | well, when you reboot | 21:22 |
| qman__ | it'll either work, or the system won't let anyone log in | 21:22 |
| shennyg | wow, that sucks | 21:22 |
| qman__ | in which case you need to boot single user/recovery mode to fix | 21:22 |
| qman__ | that's a possibility with the way you did it, adding it to /etc/rc.local | 21:23 |
| qman__ | I suggest undoing that, and doing it the right way | 21:23 |
| shennyg | well I did it there, and I also ran hostname the.hostname.com | 21:23 |
| qman__ | yes, but by having that in rc.local | 21:23 |
| shennyg | and started a new ssh session and it worked | 21:24 |
| qman__ | it changes the hostname after the system boots, but before anyone can log in | 21:24 |
| qman__ | which is a very bad idea | 21:24 |
| shennyg | ok | 21:24 |
| shennyg | so what is the proper way of doing it and testing it so I don't need to use recovery mode | 21:24 |
| qman__ | /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname | 21:25 |
| guntbert | !hostname | shennyg | 21:25 |
| ubottu | shennyg: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 21:25 |
| shennyg | ok, I think there is a trick b/c I am using an amazon ec2 | 21:25 |
| shennyg | my /etc/hostname file has ubuntu in it | 21:25 |
| shennyg | and it is not that | 21:25 |
| qman__ | that's the default hostname | 21:25 |
| shennyg | and my hosts file doesn't have the current hostname in it | 21:26 |
| shennyg | all it has is 127.0.0.1 localhost and some ipv6 stuff in it | 21:27 |
| qman__ | well, I don't know anything about ec2, so I don't know what kind of dirty tricks they may have used | 21:27 |
| qman__ | but that's the correct way to set the hostname | 21:27 |
| shennyg | when it says edit those two files... do I just add a line that says "hostname the.hostname.com"? | 21:27 |
| qman__ | no | 21:28 |
| qman__ | /etc/hostname contains just the hostname | 21:28 |
| shennyg | ok | 21:28 |
| qman__ | and /etc/hosts links your IP to your hostname | 21:28 |
| qman__ | normally you'd use your actual IP | 21:28 |
| shennyg | so it would read 127.0.0.1 localhost the.hostname.com | 21:28 |
| qman__ | no | 21:28 |
| shennyg | or would I have to use the ip | 21:28 |
| qman__ | it should contain | 21:28 |
| qman__ | 127.0.0.1 localhost | 21:28 |
| qman__ | 1.2.3.4 yourhostname.site.com | 21:29 |
| shennyg | qman__: thanks a lot for sticking w/ me on this... | 21:29 |
| shennyg | the ip changes on each reboot, so it looks like I am destin to screw things up.... | 21:29 |
| shennyg | I am just going to remove the line from the rc.local file | 21:30 |
| qman__ | well, if it's dynamic, you can't put it in the hosts file | 21:30 |
| shennyg | and I am guessing there was no harm in setting the hostname via command line? | 21:30 |
| shennyg | b/c on reboot it will not "stick" | 21:30 |
| qman__ | there isn't, just the possibility of breaking things | 21:30 |
| shennyg | am I correct? or should I undo it somehow? | 21:30 |
| qman__ | if you're still able to log in, nothing broke | 21:30 |
| shennyg | but *after* the reboot | 21:31 |
| qman__ | but if you put that in rc.local, you can lock yourself out | 21:31 |
| qman__ | because if it breaks, it'll break before you can log in | 21:31 |
| shennyg | I am removing/undoing what I did in that | 21:31 |
| shennyg | * the rc.local file | 21:31 |
| shennyg | and I have to deal w/ me setting the hostname via cli | 21:31 |
| qman__ | I'm guessing that with ec2, there's some kind of trick in the configuration that loads the instance | 21:32 |
| qman__ | to set the hostname | 21:32 |
| shennyg | yeah, but setting the hostname via "hostname the.hostname.com" via commandline as su should be undone when I reboot right? | 21:32 |
| qman__ | yes | 21:33 |
| shennyg | great, glad I actually got in here and asked! I would have been in some trouble... | 21:34 |
| shennyg | thanks a TON | 21:34 |
