| lukehasnoname | Why aren't server tasks (such as mail server, lamp server, VM host, etc.) documented more thoroughly? I assume those are the "easier" aka more preferred methods of service installation, yet the Server Guide shows traditional apt-getting packages. | 00:51 |
| lukehasnoname | Am I missing something? | 00:51 |

| jpds | lukehasnoname: Maybe you want tasksel? | 01:01 |
| * jpds is fine with traditional apt-get. | 01:02 | |
| lukehasnoname | let me clarify my question to make sure it's valid: When using tasksel vs grabbing all the packages manually, are the configurations of the services different? Would tasksel provide options or configurations not offered by std installation? | 01:10 |
| pmatulis | lukehasnoname: no | 01:23 |
| lukehasnoname | pmatulis, I guess it's not as much of an issue, then. Still, I see little mention of tasksel in the server guide, which surprises me, given how useful it can be (esp to intro admins) | 01:36 |
| pmatulis | lukehasnoname: if tasksel can be applied to topics in the server guide then, yes, i agree with you. | 01:38 |
| pmatulis | lukehasnoname: feel free to file a bug [1] or get involved [2] | 01:43 |

| oren | i want to run nginx on boot (lucid). i am reading here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto that 'Ubuntu is transitioning away from the sysv init system'. what do u guys think? | 05:59 |
| oren | and if the answer is: use init script i have another question - will this script run on lucid? (it was tested on karmic) -http://code.google.com/p/nginx-init-ubuntu/ | 06:01 |
| ScottK | oren: The last Ubuntu release to actually use sysv was Dapper (4 years ago). Since then it's all been emulated by upstart. | 06:11 |
| lukehasnoname` | oren, I believe you can still use your sysv init script. But if you want to be really cool you'll learn upstart scripts | 06:12 |
| JanC | except upstart scripts maight look completely different in 10.10 or later, but yeah ;) | 06:13 |
| lukehasnoname` | JanC, augh | 06:14 |
| lukehasnoname` | Now that Mako and Kyle Rankin are rich from the Ubuntu Server Book, having it open sourced and quasi-open for edit online would be incredibly useful | 06:17 |
| lukehasnoname` | That book is so very awesome | 06:18 |
| oren | ScottK: lukehasnoname` i never used those scripts before. can i simply take the nginx script (my link) , make it executable and locate it inside init.d, and run: sudo update-rc.d myscript defaults 98 02 ? | 06:21 |
| oren | (that's the instruction i see on ubuntu docs) | 06:22 |
| oren | and what is this book you guys are talking about? | 06:22 |
| lukehasnoname` | oren, The Official Ubuntu Server Book | 06:23 |
| lukehasnoname` | written by two Ubuntu/Linux guys | 06:23 |
| lukehasnoname` | It's not terribly useful for writing init or upstart scripts (mostly because Upstart's API changes daily, it seems) but it has good instructions for a lot of common tools and services in Ubuntu | 06:24 |
| oren | lukehasnoname`: so my steps above are accurate? and where can i get this book? | 06:26 |
| lukehasnoname`` | effing IRC boots me all the time and I get these backup names... anywho oren it looks right, judging from the man page for update-rc.d | 06:28 |

| axisys | how do I install ubuntu jeos ? just hit f4 to pick minimal ubuntu virtual machine and then select install ubuntu server ? | 17:29 |
| Ng | hallyn: I don't think the level of IO I'm doing is triggering the leak, given the comments in the bug about people having to deal with leaks every few days/weeks, I just happened to have found a way to provoke it very quickly ;) | 17:29 |
| hallyn | Ng: thanks! I'll give that a shot | 17:29 |
| hallyn | (will leave my laptop unusable of course :) | 17:29 |
| axisys | or just get the vmware ubuntu 10.04 jeos appliance ? | 17:29 |
| Ng | hallyn: I suspect it would still be obvious with one VM doing as much IO as it can. The difference is quite dramatic - I either come back after 8 hours to find 4 almost exactly 2GB VIRT kvm processes, or horror and destruction ;) | 17:30 |

| seanjohn | i'm blind here :) I just installed ubuntu server, detected everything on my nvidia 680i and core 2 quad, but, after install was complete and rebooted, it booted up BUT the screen turned off. Can someone give me instructions on what exactly to type to get openssh server going? I selected openssh, dns, and virtualization host as the packages. | 18:18 |
| seanjohn | If i try to connected to the ip leased to it, it says "connection refused" so, it IS booted up | 18:18 |

| goldins | Hi, I installed UEC and as far as I can tell neither the CC nor the NC is starting. When I try to start them and it only seems to start the apache components. It seems that there should be java components but I can't figure out what is supposed to start them | 18:34 |
| Egonis | I'm interested in giving Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud a spin.. and was wondering if it's possible to run Windows Server as a virtual image? | 18:35 |
| goldins | Egonis: it is, but I think it would be really complicated to have them automagically join an AD | 18:37 |
| zul | mathiaz: ping | 18:38 |
| Egonis | goldins: Essentially, I need the Windows Server only to run Blackberry Enterprise Server, and Pervasive.SQL for a weird windows application. So is 'AD' (which I presume you mean Active Directory) necessary in that configuration? | 18:39 |
| seanjohn | it sucks, especially that the entire distro is probably on the cd of 700 mb, that ubuntu doesn't ask what services should start at runtime, static ip config, and etc. so that YOU DONT NEED A SCREEN AFTER THE INSTALL. | 18:43 |
| seanjohn | this is a server edition; I feel sorry for rack-mount usage | 18:44 |
| jmarsden | seanjohn: Install the openssh-server package to get an SSH server... | 18:45 |
| seanjohn | that was part of the selection | 18:45 |
| seanjohn | of packages | 18:45 |
| Psi-Jack | seanjohn: Setup one host, and image it for multiple usages. Real simple./ | 18:45 |
| jmarsden | Then it should be there and be started automatically at boot. | 18:45 |
| seanjohn | "connection refused" on attempt to connect | 18:45 |
| seanjohn | it doesn't use vga for command-line only? it seems to try to use opengl for a COMMAND LINE | 18:46 |
| seanjohn | only explaination of why it would't support all gpu's | 18:46 |
| Psi-Jack | Umm. | 18:46 |
| Psi-Jack | You mean the console? | 18:46 |
| seanjohn | yeah | 18:46 |
| Psi-Jack | It uses fbcons. | 18:46 |
| Psi-Jack | Not opengl. | 18:46 |
| seanjohn | hey psi-jack | 18:46 |
| seanjohn | well, the install went great BUT on reboot, after booting, it turns off the monitor | 18:47 |
| Psi-Jack | Anyway. I had an actual question and not a not-pit to do. ;) | 18:47 |
| Psi-Jack | I want to disable network-manager from starting at boot, but update-rc.d doesn't seem to be allowing me to disable it. | 18:47 |
| jmarsden | seanjohn: If you really need highly customized installations, you can do preseeding, see the Server Guide https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/appendix-preseed.html | 18:47 |
| seanjohn | "customized installations" it setup raid 5 easier than it did just a standard graphics adapter | 18:48 |
| seanjohn | the raid 5 works cause its booting | 18:48 |
| seanjohn | I can blindly login and type shutdown -r now and it will restart | 18:48 |
| seanjohn | i tried doing sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start | 18:49 |
| seanjohn | i tried doing /etc/init.d/iptables stop | 18:49 |
| seanjohn | grrr, i feel like going for gentoo | 18:50 |
| JanC | you should be able to boot without the framebuffer console AFAIK | 18:50 |
| seanjohn | JanC: is that for me? | 18:51 |
| seanjohn | the post of the MB goes so fast, it doesn't present a flash screen for ubuntu before booting | 18:51 |
| JanC | keep left shift pressed down during boot to get into grub... | 18:52 |
| JanC | and if openssh is installed, it should run and work | 18:53 |
| JanC | don't forget you can't login as root though | 18:53 |
| goldins | Egonis: sorry, I think that explicitly is not something you want to use the cloud for: the BES and these other applications would be much better to run in a straight KVM without all the cloudy stuff | 18:54 |
| Egonis | goldins: Is there a moron's guide to Cloud Computing? I obviously don't have my head wrapped around it | 18:55 |
| Psi-Jack | Anyway. ;) | 18:55 |
| Psi-Jack | As for upstart jobs, is there like any tool that truely works to manage those? | 18:55 |
| RoyK | Egonis: see the ubuntu server guide for a start | 18:56 |
| Egonis | RoyK: Yes.. :P I suppose I need it dumbed down further | 18:56 |
| RoyK | https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/uec.html | 18:56 |
| goldins | Egonis: I'm not sure, the idea is for clustering I'm pretty sure; if you for example want to be able to launch 20 nodes that are running the same job with different parameters, that's the kind of thing you want to have a cloud around for | 18:56 |
| Egonis | so for instance, a web application is what a cloud environment would be best for? | 18:57 |
| goldins | no... | 18:57 |
| Egonis | if so, does the language matter? I write Mono.ASP apps | 18:57 |
| goldins | a math application | 18:57 |
| Egonis | wow... I'm so far off then. :P | 18:57 |
| RoyK | Egonis: cloud computing is just virtualisation gone large | 18:57 |
| Egonis | so matlab types of scenarios? | 18:57 |
| RoyK | Egonis: anything, really | 18:57 |
| RoyK | Egonis: personally, I wouldn't use virtualisation for number crunching | 18:58 |
| Psi-Jack | How about documentation that details out how to work with scripts in /etc/init.d? I'm basically just trying to disable network-manager from starting at boot-time, along with a couple others that update-rc.d isn't working on. | 18:58 |
| RoyK | Egonis: we have a few bunch-of-cores machines doing that sort of thing | 18:58 |
| Egonis | RoyK: Okay... I'm looking to aggregate my existing set of servers... I was hoping this would be an easy solution for expansion of VM's. My mistake. Thank you for clarifying | 18:58 |
| RoyK | Psi-Jack: /etc/init.d/skeleton is a good start | 18:59 |
| Psi-Jack | RoyK: Not making them. Disabling or enabling them at boot. | 18:59 |
| RoyK | oh | 18:59 |
| Psi-Jack | As I said, update-rc.d isn't working on network-manager, for starters. | 18:59 |
| RoyK | with 10.04 a few things changed there - I don't remember the details on how to disable the ones not in /etc/rc2.d | 18:59 |
| RoyK | Egonis: I think it could simplify things a bit - what sort of virtualisation are you using? | 19:00 |
| Psi-Jack | Yeah. And little to no documentation to be found, either, which is 1 of my 2 biggest gripes about ubuntu present-date. ;) | 19:00 |
| Psi-Jack | upstart == incomplete, and grub2 ;) | 19:00 |
| Egonis | RoyK: At the moment, VirtualBox for client application testing.. but we have separated physical servers at the moment. A mix and match of Windows Server 2003, SBS 2003, Server 2008, and Linux | 19:01 |
| Jordan_U | Psi-Jack: What problem are you having with grub2? | 19:01 |
| RoyK | Psi-Jack: heh - we still stay at 8.04 for now on most of our servers :) | 19:01 |
| Egonis | RoyK: Looking to do some house cleaning | 19:02 |
| RoyK | Egonis: kvm is quite good | 19:02 |
| RoyK | Egonis: vbox isn't really a server tool | 19:02 |
| Egonis | RoyK: I will check it out, thank you. Yes, vBox has been used only for at-hand testing.. not for server instances | 19:02 |
| Psi-Jack | Jordan_U: It's alpha. :p | 19:03 |
| RoyK | I used vbox for server instances on opensolaris for some time - it hung the host after some time - switched to ubuntu/kvm and problem solved | 19:03 |
| RoyK | there are some bugs with ubuntu+kvm too, especially with high network load between host and guest, but it hasn't hit me too hard | 19:04 |
| Psi-Jack | Jordan_U: And the way Ubuntu sets it up is painfully minimal. Like, for example. how do you get to the command prompt of grub when you absolutely need to? ;) | 19:04 |
| Jordan_U | Psi-Jack: Hold shift to get the menu, press 'c' to get to the grub shell. | 19:04 |
| Psi-Jack | RoyK: I had another bug on that myself, where it wasn't adding vnet# to the bridge device. | 19:04 |
| RoyK | Jordan_U: press escape | 19:04 |
| Psi-Jack | RoyK: So, my firewall was rejecting everything from my kvm guests. ;) | 19:05 |
| RoyK | Psi-Jack: ufw? | 19:05 |
| Psi-Jack | Not to mention it wasn't in the bridge, so no network capability. | 19:05 |
| Psi-Jack | RoyK: Heck no. shorewall. | 19:05 |
| RoyK | Psi-Jack: there are ways to configure ufw to allow the guests - don't know about shorewall | 19:06 |

| * ccheney bbl lunch | 19:07 | |
| Psi-Jack | So, still nobody knows how to stop network-manager from starting at boot-time when it doesn't use /etc/rc2.d/ etc? | 19:07 |
| Psi-Jack | I'm guessing it has something to do with /etc/init/*.conf, for example /etc/init/network-manager.conf | 19:08 |
| Psi-Jack | Ahh.. I'm seeing now. | 19:14 |
| === alonswartz_ is now known as alonswartz | ||

| SpamapS | smoser: around? | 19:39 |
| smoser | here | 19:39 |
| SpamapS | smoser: is ec2-describe-images with an AMI ID going to be super slow? | 19:41 |
| smoser | define super | 19:43 |
| smoser | http://paste.ubuntu.com/453040/ | 19:44 |
| smoser | SpamapS, its mostly a cpu bound operation | 19:44 |
| SpamapS | smoser: its a once-per-run operation, and only if people choose "auto" instance type, so I won't worry about running it. | 19:47 |
| smoser | SpamapS, yeah, it does suck. when using euca-describe-images its much faster (~ .5 seconds) | 19:49 |
| hggdh | kirkland: can you talk? I want to discuss one thing with you | 19:49 |
| smoser | the time still stinks though. | 19:49 |
| smoser | i really only see 2 good ways to avoid it | 19:49 |
| smoser | a.) user specifies the type | 19:50 |
| smoser | b.) we cache the describe-images information for a given ami-id. | 19:50 |
| smoser | the issue with the caching is that right now, we are completely "region un-aware" | 19:51 |
| smoser | while possibly very unlikely it is possible that if we cached "ami-12345678 is amd64" and didn't attach the qualifier "on us-east-1 EC2 region" then we could have a collision and have wrong data | 19:52 |
| smoser | SpamapS, ^ | 19:52 |
| smoser | i guess there is also | 19:52 |
| coder7 | Hey folks, I've got some UEC questions... | 19:52 |
| coder7 | I recently set up a simple cloud with a CC and one NC | 19:53 |
| coder7 | but the defaults seem to prevent me from keeping anything across reboots | 19:53 |
| SpamapS | smoser: yeah unless we know about the env vars we can't do much caching really. | 19:53 |
| smoser | c.) only do 'auto' if specified as 'auto'. otherwise, pass nothing (which will result in i386 on ec2). this makes the default 'run' case faster... sort of. but it makes it more difficult to run. | 19:53 |
| coder7 | if I shut down an instance, it is impossible to restart it, and if I reboot the NC, everything is wiped clean | 19:54 |
| smoser | SpamapS, i would consider peeking at EC2_URL on this. | 19:54 |
| smoser | shoot, but euca2ools doesn't necissarily have it set. | 19:54 |
| smoser | yeah, we'd have to deal with knowing the ocnfiguration | 19:54 |
| coder7 | anyone know of any solutions? | 19:54 |
| smoser | and keeping it in line with those tools. | 19:54 |
| SpamapS | smoser: you have to look at the args and the env var.. this is where I start thinking API calls instead of exec... ;) | 19:55 |
| smoser | SpamapS, args and environment aren't enough | 19:55 |
| smoser | you'd also have to search ~/.eucarc | 19:55 |
| smoser | and parse that | 19:55 |
| smoser | so its one more thing | 19:55 |
| smoser | SpamapS, the reason i didn't want to do API calls is that the closest thing we have to "standard configuration" is having one of those sets of tools configured to work | 19:56 |
| smoser | i wou'dnt be opposed to creating "yet another ocnfiguratoin format" | 19:57 |
| smoser | but it seems like overkill for this | 19:57 |
| Krazyderek | anyone know of a slick bandwidth monitor that will tie into webmin nicely? | 19:58 |
| guntbert | !webmin | Krazyderek | 19:59 |
| ubottu | Krazyderek: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 19:59 |
| coder7 | It just seems really crazy to me to have a cloud with no ability for persistence... | 19:59 |
| Krazyderek | oh dear.... that explains a couple of things | 19:59 |
| Krazyderek | !webmin | 20:00 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 20:00 |

| blsmith | CpplsWeird: Espically when i get debootstrapping errors when installing | 21:08 |
| CppIsWeird | "debootstrapping error" | 21:10 |
| CppIsWeird | ive never heard of such a thing | 21:10 |
| CppIsWeird | !google debootstrapping error | 21:10 |

| blsmith | CpplsWeird: I think thats what it said. | 21:10 |
| Krazyderek | hmm i guess i'll just take it as it is for now | 21:11 |
| blsmith | CpplsWeird: It alright I have another cd, that i'm going to tryp | 21:11 |
| CppIsWeird | yes, because if you stick enough cd's in the cdrom drive its bount to magically start working sooner or later. | 21:12 |
| CppIsWeird | *bound | 21:12 |
| blsmith | CppIsWeird, thats the theory i'm going with. | 21:13 |
| CppIsWeird | and i thought my strategy of cussing at people until things work was inefficient. | 21:13 |
| blsmith | CppIsWerid: Its working now, and I know why, I starting making a copy of Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop, but without realizing it I started the server version, and never through it away. So This cd I have now is working fine. | 21:14 |
| blsmith | CppIsWeird: I'm installing without any network settings and will change them using the guide you gave me. | 21:15 |

| panfist | i have an ubuntu server providing services on a completely private network, disconnected from the internet. what's the simplest solution for providing email to hosts on the network for integration with other services like wiki, request tracker, nagios, etc? | 21:23 |
| guntbert | panfist: did you see https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html ?, then there is sudo tasksel to install all mail software,... | 21:26 |
| panfist | i was hoping there was some sort of condensed version that let me skip over all the internet related material | 21:27 |
| panfist | for example, if all my mail isn't going from my domain to any outside domain, it's all on the LAN only, that would simplify a lot of work done by the MTA | 21:36 |

| DannyT | Hi. I'm looking at installing a Zimbra server. Among underlying OS options are RH/Centos55 & Ubuntu 8 LTS. Iiuc, both are on the road to being replaced soon-ish. OS upgrades *under* an app make me ... nervous. I come from an RPM-based distro bkg, but have rad that Debian/Ubuntu have the "install it once, never worry about upgrades" package mgmt. | 21:48 |
| DannyT | Tbh, I'm not sure what that means :-/ | 21:48 |
| DannyT | Can anyone comment on how straighforward an Ubuntu 8 LTS -> 10 LTS should be? If "painfuL', I lean to sticking with Centos ... | 21:48 |
| JanC | DannyT: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server is supported for 3 more years, but upgrading from 8.04 LTS to 10.04.1 LTS should work out fine | 21:53 |
| goldins | DannyT: what that means is that you can upgrade the distribution painlessly. If you've ever used Fedora's preupgrade feature, this is how that feature would work if it ever worked correctly | 22:07 |
| DannyT | JanC: Sure, I know it "works out" ... lots of folks do it. I've been burned by promises of "long term support" (not @ Ubuntu ...) where the support--rats abandon ship the moment I try to do _anything_ other than what's shipped with the original release. I guess a better way to say what I'm looking for -- I'd *like* to install today-ZImbra on toady's supported Ubuntu 8 LTS, then when Ubuntu 10 LTS is supported by Zimbra (soon-is | 22:07 |
| DannyT | Yeah, I know its a "fuzzy" question -- best I can manage, atm | 22:07 |
| goldins | basically upgrading the distribution never requires running an installer. It just upgrades all the packages to their new versions and if you have a new kernel you need to reboot | 22:08 |
| DannyT | goldins: Ok, that's sort of what I'm hoping to hear. Add to that that the community "in here" hasn't called me an idiot for wanting to "do anything" to the LTS distro in the first five minutes .... we're ahead of the game! ;-) | 22:08 |
| JanC | DannyT: everything after "(soon-i" was cut off (IRC doesn't support lines that long) | 22:09 |
| goldins | unlike centos, which doesn't actually have preupgrade yet so upgrading the distribution (from 4 to 5 or 5 to 6, say) which requires you to burn two DVDs and run an installer, possibly necessitating several hours of downtime. | 22:09 |
| DannyT | JanC: Sorry, didn't know that: (soon-ish ...) *not * end up with a hellish nightmare trying to updated to 10LTS ... | 22:09 |
| DannyT | goldins: Didn't realize that re: Centos, and therfore I assume RHEL? ... good to know | 22:11 |
| DannyT | Does Ubuntu Server 10 LTS run "happily" in/as a Xen DomU? THat'd be my fastest way to get started .... | 22:12 |
| kirkland | hallyn: [serge-hallyn] Forward port libvirt (to 0.8.1?): TODO | 22:28 |
| kirkland | hallyn: that looks to be DONE | 22:28 |
| kirkland | hggdh: can you ensure that you update https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-maverick-uec-testing with your progress this week? | 22:31 |
| kirkland | hggdh: i think some of those items are to be solve by you guys up there this week | 22:31 |
| hggdh | kirkland: will do | 22:33 |
| hallyn | kirkland: uh, yeah. though i am trying to get a version of that which actually does 'virsh save' in reasonable amount of time | 22:33 |
| hallyn | (but when i add the patch to fix that, i break 'virsh restore', still dont' know why) | 22:33 |
| kirkland | hallyn: okay, i updated that spec a bit | 22:33 |
| * hallyn looks | 22:33 | |
| hallyn | kirkland: cool, thanks. | 22:34 |
| hallyn | i'd forgotten that was on that bp | 22:34 |
| hallyn | kirkland: should 'make virsh save work' be a separate item on there, or just keep it off since there's a bug (owned by Daviey) ? | 22:35 |
| kirkland | hallyn: hmm, why does daviey own that one? sounds like it should be yours | 22:35 |
| hallyn | kirkland: cause he's had it since february :) | 22:36 |
| hallyn | hm, maybe he doesn't | 22:37 |
| hallyn | ok now i'm getting cranky. even when i manually rebuild jdstrand's package with no other changes, it still won't restore vm's any more | 22:43 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: libvirt uses debian source version 3 (quilt) | 22:46 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: it is possible that even though you removed the patch from series or debian/patches that it is still applied in a 'debian' patch in debian/patches | 22:47 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: check down in debian/patches for a patch that starts with 'debian' | 22:47 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: the some thing happened to me during the merge. I'm sure this new source package quilt version works for someone, but I've yet had it not get in my way | 22:49 |
| hallyn | jdstrand: yeah, i just found that. had to fight to keep from loudly exclaiming wtf | 22:49 |
| jdstrand | s/some/same/ | 22:49 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: yeah, it is a bit weird to get used to | 22:49 |
| hallyn | so this means what, i left the patches applied in working tree and it automatically did a quilt refresh? | 22:49 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: exactly | 22:49 |
| hallyn | so now i have no idea whether my previous tests were also fubared | 22:50 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: so you need to 'export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches" then 'quilt pop -a' before building | 22:50 |
| jdstrand | then use quilt normally | 22:50 |
| hallyn | all right thanks - i'll try again later... | 22:50 |
| jdstrand | sure, np | 22:50 |
| * jdstrand kicks debian source format 3.0 (quilt) on hallyn's behalf | 22:51 | |
| hallyn | thanks, i feel better :) | 22:51 |
| jdstrand | :) | 22:51 |
| ccheney | jjohansen, any updates about kernels? | 23:10 |
| jjohansen | ccheney: sorry not yet | 23:35 |
| ccheney | jjohansen, ok np | 23:36 |
| jjohansen | ccheney: I had a question about the 2.6.34-lucid kernel you tried | 23:38 |
| ccheney | jjohansen, ok | 23:38 |
| jjohansen | was that one of tim's backport kernels? | 23:38 |
| ccheney | its the one from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 23:39 |
| jjohansen | ah, so just from before renaming to maverick | 23:39 |
| jjohansen | okay thanks | 23:39 |
| ccheney | happy to help :) | 23:39 |
| ccheney | send me an email whenever you have the new ones ready and i can run my script on them and see if i can't find the spot it broke :) | 23:40 |
| jjohansen | ccheney: will do | 23:40 |
| Psi-Jack | Curious. Do upstart scripts generally read from /etc/default/$NAME like LSB scripts do? | 23:48 |
| SpamapS | Psi-Jack: hmm.. great question | 23:51 |
| SpamapS | /etc/init/ssh says | 23:51 |
| SpamapS | # if you used to set SSHD_OPTS in /etc/default/ssh, you can change the | 23:51 |
| SpamapS | # 'exec' line here instead | 23:51 |
| SpamapS | exec /usr/sbin/sshd | 23:51 |
| SpamapS | which is, rather lame IMO | 23:51 |
| Psi-Jack | Yeah. I looked at others and found out it doesn't, you have to enclose it into a script section in the conf. | 23:52 |
| Psi-Jack | irqbalance.conf was a good one to follow. | 23:52 |
| SpamapS | Psi-Jack: but some of them use a "script" clause instead of an 'exec' line | 23:52 |
| Psi-Jack | I'm converting some LSB scripts to upstart to see if I can get keepalived and linux-igd to play nice together on two servers. | 23:52 |
