| b14ck | Hey all. I've got a ubuntu-server 8.04 box here. I'm trying to upgrade to 10.04. Is there an easy way to do this? I've already done: `aptitude update; aptitude safe-upgrade; aptitude dist-upgrade;` | 01:12 |
| b14ck | But now it is saying there are no new updates available. | 01:12 |
| b14ck | I really need to upgrade because I need access to python 2.6.x, whereas the current version I have is 2.5.x | 01:12 |
| b14ck | Any help would be appreciated :) | 01:12 |
| b14ck | actually, i think i may have figured it out | 01:14 |

| qman__ | b14ck, dist-upgrade is not a release upgrade, it simply installs all the updates even if it has to add new packages | 02:11 |
| qman__ | if you want to upgrade to lucid, you need to run `sudo do-release-upgrade` | 02:11 |
| Carleas | Is there a way to test key authentication before disabling password login? | 02:25 |
| Carleas | I want to lock down my server so it only accepts ssh logins from keys, but I don't want to lock myself out if I've set things up incorrectly. | 02:25 |
| pmatulis | Carleas: of course, just log in. key auth. occurs before passwd auth | 02:28 |
| CppIsWeird | how do you execute two commands consecutively in one line on bash? | 02:28 |
| pmatulis | Carleas: but if you're worried, just keep another session open | 02:29 |
| pmatulis | CppIsWeird: separate them with a semicolon | 02:29 |
| qman__ | if the second command depends upon the first, use && | 02:29 |
| CppIsWeird | pmatulis, perfect, thanks. :-) | 02:30 |
| Carleas | Thanks, pmatulis. I feel a little silly. | 02:30 |
| Carleas | Is using key authentication sufficient protection? I've seen suggestions to change the port to something other than 22, is that necessary in addition? | 02:31 |
| qman__ | changing your port will only reduce your exposure, at the cost of the annoyance of having to specify the port every time you connect | 02:32 |
| qman__ | I wouldn't bother with that | 02:32 |
| CppIsWeird | i seem to be getting a strange scrolling sideways output when i watch tail /alogfile | 02:32 |
| pmatulis | Carleas: you can do that to get off the radar of 95% of the simple scripts people use for dictionary attacks | 02:53 |
| pmatulis | Carleas: those kind of attacks won't work if you're using key auth. but your logs won't fill up needlessly | 02:54 |
| pmatulis | Carleas: also, your client config can be altered to use the non-standard port so it's not an annoyance | 02:54 |
| pmatulis | Carleas: specifying protocol 2 is also highly recommended but i believe that is the default these days (used to accept both 1 and 2) | 02:56 |
| CppIsWeird | im trying to use the 'watch' command with a file that displays improperly with its non printing characters removed. in the manual watch says use cat -v in the commands pipeline. i've tried this every way i know how and either it still displays strange or it gets hung up. | 02:56 |

| jessezylstra | Hello. I run a server that had a problem after the upgrade to 10.04. I have no desktop enviroment, I am running Ubuntu Server, and when I go to the server everything is duplicated three times on the screen, tiny, blurry, and stretched-looking because, for some reason, the resolution changed. My monitor only supports 640xWhateveritis, and it is running at something higher. How do I fix this? | 03:51 |
| === [1]Kaffien is now known as Kaffien | ||
| SpamapS | jessezylstra: you may need to add a boot argument to reduce the resolution | 04:33 |
| SpamapS | jessezylstra: try adding 'vga=785', do you know how to edit your grub command line? | 04:34 |
| Geekman | Hey, I found a command a while back (few months I think) which recursively listed the permissions of all files and folders in a directory, which I could then direct to a file. Then I could use a similar command to take that file and use it to restore the permissions. I completely forget what commands they were, but I think I needed to install an additional package. Can anyone think of what it might be that I'm thinking of? | 04:43 |
| ccheney | kirkland, how do i determine the set of packages that uec normally installs to have pxe install as well? | 04:49 |
| ccheney | kirkland, i set it to 'minimal' but that seems obviously wrong | 04:49 |
| ccheney | kirkland, ah i see its in tasksel, i suppose i can select multiple of those | 04:50 |
| ccheney | hrmm | 04:50 |
| * ccheney thinks the uec.py should be doing that already | 04:50 | |
| ccheney | eucalyptus-udeb eucalyptus/install-mode multiselect cloud, walrus, cluster, storage should do that i think | 04:51 |
| ccheney | maybe i need to trigger eucalyptus-udeb to be installed better than it is currently | 04:52 |

| jessezylstra | twb: Yes. | 05:28 |

| electrofreak | I have / on a RAID1... and it happens to be resyncing right now... will the boot process wait for that to finish before booting? | 08:00 |
| electrofreak | otherwise... I dunno what is wrong with my server | 08:00 |
| electrofreak | RAID1 is md-raid | 08:00 |
| qman__ | no, syncing is an operation that can be done post-boot | 08:01 |
| twb | md array resyncing is done in a background kernel thread. | 08:01 |
| electrofreak | that's what I thought | 08:01 |
| twb | If you reboot, it'll start again from scratch unless you have those bitmap thingies | 08:02 |
| electrofreak | oh hi twb | 08:02 |
| electrofreak | bitmap thingies? | 08:02 |
| twb | Some optional md thing that allows it to remember what bits are synced | 08:02 |
| electrofreak | but it shouldn't hold up the boot process? | 08:03 |
| twb | I don't know much about it, I just heard it mentioned in a LUG | 08:03 |
| qman__ | no, it should not affect the boot process | 08:03 |
| twb | electrofreak: it won't hold the boot process; it might make it SLIGHTLY slower | 08:03 |
| qman__ | except for maybe slightly reduced disk performance | 08:03 |
| electrofreak | then.... I need to figure out why my server wont boot | 08:03 |
| electrofreak | I let it go for like 10 minutes.... | 08:04 |
| electrofreak | finally hit ctrl-alt-del and it shut some crap down, and rebooted.... | 08:04 |
| qman__ | that's not very long | 08:04 |
| qman__ | longer than it should be taking, but still not very long | 08:04 |
| qman__ | it might be fscking a big partition | 08:04 |
| electrofreak | same thing... it's literally just sitting here | 08:05 |
| electrofreak | monitor has nothing interesting on it.... some ureadahead-other error... which I googled and is apparently be9 | 08:05 |
| electrofreak | I went in with a livecd... saw that my array was rsyncing... | 08:06 |
| electrofreak | and was able to mount it and poke around.... but none of the logs are showing anything from the boot process | 08:06 |
| electrofreak | so now, I'm sitting here waiting for it to boot again | 08:07 |
| qman__ | did you press escape? | 08:07 |
| electrofreak | qman__: just did.... | 08:07 |
| electrofreak | intersting..... now it's booting | 08:07 |
| qman__ | that's a new "feature" | 08:07 |
| electrofreak | what did I press escape to? | 08:07 |
| electrofreak | lol | 08:07 |
| qman__ | unhides the important boot information | 08:07 |
| electrofreak | I have to be honest.... usually my server is headless.... i'd rather not have to deal with such "features" | 08:08 |
| qman__ | I agree wholeheartedly | 08:08 |
| electrofreak | is it likely stopping for that ureadahead message? | 08:08 |
| electrofreak | because, it seems like I should get to the bottom of that if that's the case. | 08:09 |
| qman__ | well, I'd have to see the whole thing to know | 08:09 |
| electrofreak | there was also a message about md0 being clean | 08:10 |
| electrofreak | and a fsck version print above that | 08:10 |
| electrofreak | that's it. | 08:10 |
| qman__ | what size are your partitions | 08:10 |
| electrofreak | eh, like ~150GB | 08:11 |
| electrofreak | two 160GB drives... | 08:11 |
| qman__ | probably fscking then | 08:11 |
| electrofreak | swap array and / array | 08:11 |
| qman__ | give it more time | 08:11 |
| electrofreak | now this splash screen is going forever. | 08:11 |
| electrofreak | qman__: it said it was clean? | 08:11 |
| electrofreak | and now I see no disk IO | 08:12 |
| qman__ | ok, then that's not it | 08:12 |
| qman__ | you would see disk I/O | 08:12 |
| qman__ | but you probably wouldn't see the fsck progress | 08:12 |
| qman__ | another side effect of the new "feature" | 08:12 |
| electrofreak | yea, I did until I presume it finished resyncing | 08:12 |
| electrofreak | gosh, there is no output at all.... this splashscreen sucks | 08:14 |
| qman__ | it has certainly caused me plenty of headaches | 08:14 |
| qman__ | my file server has a > 5TB array on it | 08:15 |
| qman__ | I can no longer monitor fsck progress on boot | 08:15 |
| electrofreak | ...I might know the problem... altho really it shouldn't hold up the boot process.... | 08:15 |
| qman__ | I just have to wait 4 hours to see if it finishes or crashed | 08:15 |
| electrofreak | I turned off my large ass RAID5 to help troubleshoot this crap... | 08:15 |
| electrofreak | and that mounts... | 08:15 |
| qman__ | turned off? | 08:15 |
| electrofreak | I should make it noauto | 08:15 |
| electrofreak | (pulled the drives) | 08:16 |
| qman__ | that would do it | 08:16 |
| qman__ | especially if it mounts to an important location | 08:16 |
| electrofreak | maybe.... I just restarted and I'm waiting again... | 08:16 |
| electrofreak | darn it.... | 08:17 |
| electrofreak | theres no disk IO now.... with the RAID5 on... | 08:18 |
| electrofreak | this is really frustrating that there is no output... | 08:19 |
| electrofreak | how do I grab the grub menu? | 08:23 |
| electrofreak | there is no message like there used to be | 08:24 |
| qman__ | I think you have to press shift or something | 08:35 |
| qman__ | I don't know, I don't like grub2 at all either | 08:35 |
| Jordan_U | electrofreak: Hold shift during boot to see the grub menu (Ubuntu hides it by default). | 08:49 |
| electrofreak | qman__: figured out the problem... had yet another thing in fstab that was mounting that really shouldn't. I've learned my lesson... it wont happen again :-( | 08:52 |
| electrofreak | qman__: if you're still up (almost 4am here)... good night. | 08:52 |

| qman__ | so you'll have to look into something else | 16:07 |
| jmitchell | and ext4 is soooo new | 16:08 |
| qman__ | the only advice I can give there is, don't use XFS is you don't have a super stable system on a UPS | 16:08 |
| qman__ | I've suffered total loss more than once with XFS | 16:08 |
| jmitchell | yeah, xfs is not good for recovering, trudat | 16:08 |
| jmitchell | ext3 for recovering is awesome | 16:09 |
| qman__ | yeah, but it can't get that big | 16:09 |
| pmatulis | DrPoo: http://tinyurl.com/2w42hva | 16:09 |
| qman__ | pretty sure it maxes at 8TB | 16:09 |
| qman__ | you'd need two filesystems | 16:09 |
| qman__ | and LVM | 16:09 |
| jmitchell | qman, what size can ext4 do? | 16:09 |
| qman__ | I use ext3 on my big file server too, never let me down | 16:10 |
| qman__ | but mine's only ~5TB | 16:10 |
| qman__ | ext4 maxes at 1EB | 16:10 |
| qman__ | that is, approximately one million terabytes | 16:11 |
| jmitchell | ahh, qman__ if you up the block size then it can go up to 32TB | 16:11 |
| jmitchell | the block size must then be 8k | 16:11 |
| qman__ | yeah, but I think there was something else preventing me from using block sizes greater than 4k | 16:12 |
| qman__ | I don't remember what, specifically though | 16:12 |
| jmitchell | shweet, so when i outgrow my 1.3tb volume and it's time for the 20tb volume, i can move to ext4 | 16:12 |
| qman__ | and it wasn't a performance thing | 16:12 |
| jmitchell | i'm sure it will be ready then | 16:12 |
| jmitchell | qman, on 4k blocks u can do 16tb | 16:12 |
| qman__ | ah | 16:13 |
| jmitchell | so u'r sorted ;) | 16:13 |
| qman__ | guess that array was bigger than I remembered | 16:13 |
| qman__ | then 13TB would be fine | 16:13 |
| qman__ | and ext3 is definitely my recommendation for reliability | 16:13 |
| jmitchell | yeah, but only if he gets the blocks right before | 16:13 |
| jmitchell | no moving to bigger block size after | 16:13 |
| qman__ | that's with 4k | 16:13 |
| jmitchell | not that i know a way of | 16:13 |
| qman__ | so no problems | 16:13 |
| jmitchell | shweet | 16:14 |
| qman__ | ah, this was it | 16:14 |
| jmitchell | qman__, do you also remove the journal and then increase volume size? | 16:14 |
| qman__ | In Linux, 8 KB block size is only available on architectures which allow 8 KB pages, such as Alpha. | 16:14 |
| qman__ | can't do 8k blocks on x86 with linux | 16:14 |
| jmitchell | oh, ok then it's 4k for us, but 16tb is quite shweet none the less | 16:15 |
| qman__ | no, I leave journaling on | 16:15 |
| qman__ | pretty much defaults | 16:15 |
| qman__ | it's a good tradeoff | 16:15 |
| jmitchell | hmm, what procedure do u use to increase the volume size then when you add raid capacity? | 16:15 |
| qman__ | still performs better than the atrocious NTFS, and it's a lot more reliable | 16:15 |
| jmitchell | ntfs is poo, i agree | 16:16 |
| qman__ | I did a simple ext3 grow | 16:16 |
| jmitchell | hmm | 16:16 |
| qman__ | forget exactly what command, I only did that once | 16:16 |
| jmitchell | have not had to do this in ages so can't remember how i did mine | 16:16 |
| jmitchell | had to remove the journal though | 16:16 |
| qman__ | but I didn't have LVM either | 16:16 |
| jmitchell | how retarded was i | 16:16 |
| qman__ | just ext3 on an md | 16:16 |
| jmitchell | same here | 16:16 |
| jmitchell | hmmm | 16:16 |
| jmitchell | i have reading to do | 16:16 |
| qman__ | shrinking is far more complicated, but growing is a fairly simple operation | 16:17 |
| jmitchell | i wonder what i missed then | 16:17 |
| qman__ | I don't remember exactly what I did, it was a while back | 16:18 |
| qman__ | but gparted includes that functionality in it as well | 16:18 |
| jmitchell | woohoo, it's 5:15, i coulda left 15min ago ;) | 16:19 |

| EtienneG | coffeedude, hey there! If I am not mistaken, you're the one looking after Likewise Open, correct? | 16:35 |
| jjohansen | SpamapS: do you have any links for KSLM besides the lp project, which doesn't have anything in it atm | 16:36 |
| coffeedude | EtienneG, Mostly. Actually have handed off to another dev here at Likewise recently. What's up? | 16:41 |
| * coffeedude hides..... | 16:41 | |
| EtienneG | coffeedude, come on, it's going to be an easy one! | 16:42 |
| EtienneG | coffeedude, regarding upgrading from karmic to lucid; I understand going from lw 4.x to 5.x requires some manual steps | 16:43 |
| EtienneG | as the way the configuraiton is handled have changed | 16:43 |
| coffeedude | EtienneG, The upgrade is handled as part of the deb install. But you probably want to look at the likewise-open-test PPA | 16:44 |
| EtienneG | coffeedude, it has been suggested to me that removing /var/lib/likewise-open/db/registry.db, and re-importing the registry files in /etc/likewise would be enought | 16:44 |
| coffeedude | EtienneG, and yes, 5.4 is very different from 4.x | 16:44 |
| EtienneG | coffeedude, yes, that I know | 16:44 |
| coffeedude | Removing registry.db will wipe the current state and you will have to rejoin. | 16:45 |
| EtienneG | coffeedude, I will have a look at the PPA. I was under the impression that upgrading from 4 in karmic to 5 in lucid was not supported, but if you say it is, then great! | 16:45 |
| EtienneG | coffeedude, thanks for the info. i will test a bit, and come back with questions I might have. who is looking after the Ubuntu packages at Likewise now? | 16:47 |
| coffeedude | EtienneG, I'm handing off to Scott Salley here (hopefully). But i'll still be involved. Just feel bad about not getting the SRU done yet. | 16:48 |
| raywang | hello, does anyone try to install a 64bit guest on a 32bit host in KVM? | 16:49 |
| EtienneG | coffeedude, no worry, I wasn't even aware there is an SRU in the pipeline! | 16:49 |
| raywang | well, nobody install a 64bit VM on 32bit operating system? :) | 16:51 |
| raywang | hello? anyone is familiar with virtualization? I appreciate a lot. :) | 16:57 |
| oru_work | how can i archive a directory with all the contents with tar ? | 17:02 |
| raywang | oru_work, doesn't 'tar cjf filename.tar.bz2 directory' help? | 17:03 |
| oru_work | raywang, yeah i was doing tar czfv | 17:04 |
| raywang | oru_work, i was wonder are you concerned about those hidden files? | 17:10 |

| RoyK | oru_work: php.ini is your friend | 17:31 |
| RoyK | oru_work: usually under /etc/php/apache(something | 17:31 |

| andreserl | jjohansen, btw.. I have one quick question and you might be the one that can help me. DRBD starting from 2.6.33 is in mainline kernel... I just installed maverick server and couldn't find any drbd module. Does this mean that the module is not being compiled with the kernel shipped in maverick? | 17:50 |
| RudyValencia | Eh, perhaps a subdomain based on the user's Linux username would be easier to handle. | 17:51 |
| jjohansen | andreserl: currently it isn't | 17:53 |
| andreserl | jjohansen, will it be? | 17:53 |
| jjohansen | maybe, need to check why it isn't being compiled | 17:53 |
| jjohansen | it may just be an oversight/missed config | 17:53 |
| andreserl | jjohansen, ok, cool, because current package uses DKMS, but since now the module is included in the kernel, I'd think is best to use that module and drop DKMS | 17:54 |
| jjohansen | andreserl: yes, and that is probably how it got missed, I'll submit a patch for Maverick | 17:56 |

| kusznir | (currently its using us.archive.ubuntu.com, which is WAY slower than the mirror sitting on the same gigabit interface: ubuntu.eecs.wsu.edu :) | 18:59 |
| _ruben | kusznir: edit /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:59 |
| kusznir | Umm...there are a TON of lines there...I tried to do a global replace, and my apt didn't work afterward. | 19:00 |
| kusznir | Is there a tool that I can run that will just select that mirror, or do I have to replace specific lines of that file? (and if so, how do I know which lines to change and which to leave the same, etc?) | 19:00 |
| _ruben | doing a find and replace on us.archive.ubuntu.com to ubuntu.eecs.wsu.edu should work just fine, unless the later doesn't have a working/proper mirror setup | 19:01 |

| talcite | hey guys. is it normal for a 2 year old, 12 disk linux soft Raid 6 device to only achieve 26mb/s on rebuild? | 19:19 |
| talcite | it seems pretty slow since each disk should be able to put out at least 50 mb/s | 19:19 |
| patdk-wk | how so? | 19:22 |
| patdk-wk | the disks have nothing to do with it, for the most part | 19:23 |
| patdk-wk | what is the stripe size? | 19:23 |
| patdk-wk | what happens, is it has to read the data off of 11 disks, calculate what should be on the new disk, and write it to the new disk | 19:23 |
| patdk-wk | normally it's the cpu or pci bus that limits speed | 19:24 |
| patdk-wk | if the drives are connected using a pci bus, that is 100mb/s max | 19:24 |
| patdk-wk | so a write speed of 8mb/s | 19:25 |
| orudie | can anyone help me with a command to grep for error_reporting on my entire /etc/apache directory? | 19:25 |
| patdk-wk | if you can maxout pcix, that would be 32mb/s | 19:25 |
| kusznir | I'm trying to set up a cups print server. I've installed cups and an assortment of cups-related packages on an otherwise bare 10.04 server install. I'm trying to manage it remotely.

| kusznir | The cups log doesn't give any information about it (in fact, it normally doesn't even log anything for my connect attempts in this way). I enabled debug mode, and only got "normal-looking" output; nothing remotely like an error/problem. | 19:47 |

| SnakeNuts | Hello all. I need to have a quick verification to see if I'm doing things right: I have a server I only have remote (SSH) access to and I want to set up a firewall. If I use 'ufw' and I do 'sudo ufw allow ssh/tcp' and the 'sudo uwf enable', am I doing it in the right order to _not_ lock myself out? (I did so yesterday by installing eBox and its firewall plug-in. I had to have my VM re-installed...) | 22:08 |

| patdk-wk | well, if you have the conntrack module loaded | 22:12 |
| patdk-wk | it tracks your connections | 22:12 |
| patdk-wk | so if it is tracking your ssh connection, and the connection is OPEN (ESTABLISHED), it will allow it, without checking the rest if your firewall rules | 22:12 |
| patdk-wk | as you don't have the conntrack module tracking yet, you need that ssh allow | 22:13 |
| patdk-wk | once ufw starts it will start conntrack | 22:13 |
| patdk-wk | and will notice it and add it to the list | 22:13 |
| patdk-wk | but for the future, restarting ufw and that, your ssh would be safe, cause of those lines | 22:13 |
| SnakeNuts | Ok, that makes sense. Thanks a lot for that! I'll read up on the conntrack module too. Cheers! | 22:14 |
