hungnvhello everyone04:08
hungnvI have a question about apt-get and dpkg. Once I use apt-get install or dpkg -i packagename, some package popup a buffer ask me to input data, likes ldaputils, it asks me for ldap server address, ldap version...04:10
hungnvhow can I just skip that buffer?04:10
twbhungnv: set the debconf priority to critical, or if you're scripting, set the debconf UI to "noninteractive".04:11
twbhungnv: obviously this shouldn't be done blithely, since some of those questions are important04:11
hungnvtwb: yes, I'm scripting. I have about 100 clients and now I must install just one application for all. Now I'm on server side and excecute my deployment script to do that job automatically.04:13
hungnvconfig files was created before, after installation completed, I just copy configuration file to right place04:14
twbIt'd be better to preseed the answers to ldap-auth-config04:14
hungnvtwb: what do you mean?04:15
twbRather than saying "don't ask me" and then overwriting whatever it does -- which can cause problems if there's an upgrade (such as a security update), it'd be better to provide the answers in advance, letting it write the correct file itself.04:16
hungnvit will takes a very long time to do such a simple job04:20
lowridahif the servers to be deployed to aren't already in action you can kickstart them, specify the packages to install, and configure the LDAP settings in preseed or ks04:21
lowridahotherwise you might consider looking into puppet+mcollective if you plan on doing large scale software deployments04:22
lowridahhungnv:  http://blog.hjksolutions.com/articles/2007/07/27/unattended-package-installation-with-debian-and-ubuntu04:24
twbI don't know why you'd go with kickstart over preseeding.04:25
lowridahbecause i remember all the kickstart directives i'd need to install ubuntu04:25
lowridahi have to look at preseed examples?04:25
twbYeah, so it's really only for RHEL refugees04:25
hungnvlowridah: thank for the link04:26
lowridahhungnv:  np04:26
lowridahtwb:  if that was true, ubuntu wouldn't be so anaconda compliant04:26
silentwhisperhi i like to setup webmail04:26
lowridahi'm not debating how to deploy, i'm just saying what i do.04:26
twbFair enough04:26
twbAs for me, I preseed Debian and kickstart RHEL04:26
hungnvlowridah: I deploy these software for clients, not for server04:26
silentwhisperpostfix, them imap then squirel is this correct?04:26

twb(Admittedly, I don't know the answer to that one myself.)04:47

imyousufI have installed UEC for the first time (total newbie) on a single node with node controller option selected and downloaded the lucid lynx 64 bit version from the store. Now when I am trying to run the image I am getting - http://paste.ubuntu.com/467353/ My machine configuration is core i7, 4G RAM, 1G VGA, Lucid Lynx 64-bit. Any idea how I could solve it?04:57

ShapeshiftrThanks.05:53
Roxyhart08 hi there somebody have a doc to configurate reverse zones for different subnets?05:53
Shapeshiftrtwb , erm, *relative Linux/Debain newbie talking* how do you run it, then?05:56
twbShapeshiftr: it appears in your bootloader05:56
twbInherently, you cannot run memtest86+ from within the normal system, although you could potentially use kexec-tools to load it without going through a POST05:57
ShapeshiftrSo, how do I check if my memory is working to its fullest extent?05:57
twbThere's also a userland memtest tool that CAN run from within linux, but obviously it's not as reliable05:57
twbShapeshiftr: reboot into memtest05:57
ShapeshiftrHm, thanks.05:58
Hilikus is there any way to keep a server in a low-power state (stand-by) and make it wake up when there are network requests? apache request or ssh request for example06:04
dominicdinadaanybody else having problems with samba shares after the update today ?06:09
twbHilikus: basically, no.06:15
twbHilikus: assuming by "low power" you mean suspend-to-ram with wake-on-lan.06:15
twbHilikus: you can, of course, reduce the CPU frequency and spin down hard disks and similar tricks06:16
Hilikustwd are those tricks already part of the normal kernel or i have to enable them or install some daemon for it?06:22
twbDepends06:24
twbWhat's your actual goal?  To reduce the electricity bill for your machine room?06:25
mase_wkHilikus: if you have so little requests that you can sleep afford for a significant portion of time then your probably better off getting a very low power machine06:35
mase_wkgeode LX or arm based machine06:35
Hilikustwd, yes. and lower heat production, and also increase the usable life of the parts06:36
twbCertanly *halting* a machine is actually bad for its overall lifetime06:36
mase_wkfor 7watts i can power a geode Lx500 and get around 33req/s on a completelye dynamic website06:36
twbYeah, using low-power gear like the Pentium III or an arm/geode/atom is the most obvious approach.06:37
Hilikusmase_wk: i'll look into it06:37
mase_wkie completely non optimised06:37
Hilikusthanks guys06:37
twbAlternatively, if you have a large number of machines, consolidating them into VMs on a single host can help06:38
mase_wkthe new intel chips are very efficient / cool06:38
mase_wktwb: was just about to suggest that :)06:38
mase_wkthey also come with some advanced VM stuff that KVM will use06:38
twbAs can migrating them to VPSs living in a larger colo that someone else takes care of -- since they have the economy of scale to get that kind of thing right06:39
mase_wki'm currently running 12 VM's on a server which is purring along nicely06:39
mase_wkyeh linode do whole VM's for like $20 pm06:39
twbmase_wk: we plan to reduce our core network to one soekris router and one Q9550 running everything as a jail (linux) or vm (windows)06:40
twbCurrenty we have more core servers than staff :-(06:40
mase_wkhaha . those soekris boards are good06:40
mase_wki'm waiting for someone to make something like the vayetta/ cisco routers with dual core arm CPU's06:41
twbWhy dual core?06:41
mase_wkso i can run openvpn on the other :)06:42
twbUh?06:42
twbSurely it'll be SMP06:42
mase_wkwell smp would be better :)06:43
twbSo both cores would be running linux06:43
mase_wkyeh , one for switching the other for interesting thigns06:43
mase_wkthings*06:44
mase_wkvpn/ firewall etc..06:44
twbI don't think switching is done in the CPU06:44
mase_wkwell forwarding is done in hardware06:44
twbEven if it was, I don't think it'd require significant06:44
twbload06:44
mase_wkbut anything more advanced, vlan etc.. is done on the cpu06:44
mase_wkdepends on what bandwidth you have06:45
mase_wkand what your doing06:45
twbOh, you're talking saturated gige?06:45
twbI mean, I do tagging and firewall on 100baseT with a 200MHz MIPS, and that doesn't even notice the load06:46
mase_wki've found that with those MIPS chips the second they start getting a decent load , adding complex routes or VPN services tends to reduce the throughput06:48
mase_wkmind you that is with GigE , not 100base as you mentioned06:48
twbFair enough06:48
mase_wkbut still, the cisco's i have here are all 30+ wattss06:48
twbI'm a sysadmin, not a netadmin :-)06:48
mase_wk some of the arm chips are measured in milliwatts06:49
twbDon't forget that each of your lightbulbs will be 25W or more06:49
mase_wkpft light ? =)06:49
mase_wki thought you were a sysadmin06:49
mase_wkmy monitor provides me with a healthy glow06:50

RoyKthe 16 core box has been running a few weeks, and except a problem where the kernel seemd to eat a truckload of memory (a reboot fixed it), the system has been stably running at 100% load on all cores. Both show minimal system and wio times (althought the 24 core box has only been running a few hours)18:30
RoyKthe users (scientists) mostly run up to a few more cpu intensive processes than active cores available, so I guess the scheduler shouldn't have much problem with it18:31
cwillu_at_workslabtop is useful to investigate kernel memory leaks18:35
RoyKthat didn't find anything18:35
RoyKanyway - I haven't seen it lately18:36
cwillu_at_workyep, throughput is the problem that the scheduler solves at the expense of latency, to the chagrin of desktop users everywhere :p18:36
cwillu_at_workdefine didn't find anything18:36
RoyKbut it was 40gigs or so lost, even after the userspace processes were stopped18:36
cwillu_at_workIf the kernel had allocated memory, then slabtop would show it :p18:36
RoyKI couldn't find where it was allocated, and what used to be a quick machine, turned into something from the ninetees18:37
RoyKanyway - will check more if it happens again18:37
cwillu_at_workslabtop -s a should be useful18:38
RoyK24 cores and 64 gigs of RAM in a NOK 50k box isn't bad18:38

pedahzurTrying to do an upgrade, getting this error message for the package 'linux-server' "linux-server: Depends: linux-image-server (= 2.6.32.24.25) but 2.6.32.23.24 is to be installed" Anyone else seen it?19:14
pedahzurI do have backports enabled, but not proposed.19:16
pedahzurDisabled backports...same error.19:17
talcitehey guys, I just updated the scst wiki page for ubuntu-server. Could someone who knows infiniband take a look and tell me what they think? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/scst19:18
sherrpedahzur: I see that as well today. On these occasions, I usually just wait a day or so and the problem gets fixed.19:21
pedahzursherr: Yeah, it usually does, but it's still a bit disconcerting that an broken update was released.19:31
quakenulhi there20:26
quakenuli'm having trouble installing 10.04 64-bit server from a usb drive and hoped someone could help20:27
quakenuli prepared the stick and the installer booted just from but then tried to check for a CD drive20:27
quakenulwhich doesn't exist20:27
quakenulfrom = fine20:27
quakenuli searched for a solution but was unable to find one20:28
pedahzurquakenul: How did you prepare the USB stick?20:32
quakenulusing the universal usb installer in windows20:33
pedahzurquakenul: I did this recently using the Ubuntu "USB Startup Disk Creator."  Everything worked fine, but it wrote the boot loader to the USB drive (since it was /dev/sda, and I was installing on a machine with a RAID card, and the drive was actually /dev/cciss/c0d0) You might want to give that a try.20:35
quakenulalright then, i will give it a try, thanks!20:35
pedahzurquakenul: Not really sure what to say otherwise: it didn't have any trouble finding the "CD" for me.20:35

FunnyLookinHatHey guys - I'm getting this error when trying to bring up NFS:  * Not starting NFS kernel daemon: no support in current kernel.20:41
FunnyLookinHatI followed the guide to a T on https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-file-system.html20:41
pmatulisFunnyLookinHat: well, what kind of kernel are you using?20:45

FunnyLookinHatpmatulis: 2.6.33.5-rscloud     It's an image for RackspaceCloud20:46
FunnyLookinHatBut I'm seeing issues that the stock kernel seems to not register as being compatible anyways...20:46
pmatulisFunnyLookinHat: so it's not a stock ubuntu kernel20:46
FunnyLookinHatI suppose not...  :(20:46
pmatulisFunnyLookinHat: grep NFSD in your kernel config file that *should* be under /boot20:48

sweltman_Is this the right forum for bugs in updater?  attempting upgrade to 10.04 server but unsuccessful.20:54
d3vnu11sweltman_: what error are you getting?20:54
sweltman_unable to update (tool states broken dependencies)20:55
sweltman_there are none that I know about20:56
d3vnu11what are the broken dependencies?  I ask because I was just having an issue with a broken dependency for the linux-image-virtual package20:56
d3vnu11i think that the us.archive.ubuntu.com mirrors have a broken Packages.gz file20:56
sweltman_D3v, to be honest, I have no idea where to find them, I didn't see any on the GUI20:57
d3vnu11did you follow a howto on upgrading?  just curious what method you used20:57
sweltman_d3vnull, I clicked on the upgrade to 10.04 LTS on software update tool.20:58
sweltman_d3v, I am using the server version only as the base.  It's also running gnome on GUI + desktop pkgs20:59
d3vnu11ah, sorry I don't know how that reports errors, so I'm not sure how much help I could be21:00
sweltman_thats ok.  thank you anyhow for asking!21:00

gurudrewHello all. I'm running 9.10, and trying to set up a virtual server environment using KVM. I'm trying to install Windows Server 2008, for which I apparently need an X-friendly environment. So I did apt-get install gdm21:32
gurudrewNow my system goes to grub and has no option to boot, goes straight into grub shell21:33
gurudrewInserting my 9.10 CD to recover, on my list of recovery options, when I select my partition, it tells me it's not recognized21:33
gurudrewhow can I check/repair a drive from recovery console?21:33
pedahzurgurudrew: Assuming you can access the drive, 'fsck /dev/sdX' where X is the device letter should do it.  Might have to modify that for special devices such as RAID controllers, etc.21:37
pedahzurgurudrew: That is a bit odd though...installing GDM shouldn't keep you from bootin.21:38
gurudrewMay have been a bad shutdown21:38
gurudrewfsck, though, thank you21:38
pedahzuroh!21:39
^peanut^pedahzur: I just told him the same thing in #ubuntu =)21:40
pedahzurgurudrew: Sorry, You'll probably need /dev/sdXN...N is the partition number.21:40

pedahzur^peanut^: Yeah, well, when we're desperate, we often scatter shot our questions. :)21:40
uvirtbotpedahzur: Error: "peanut^:" is not a valid command.21:40
^peanut^pedahzur: agreed21:40
^peanut^?21:41
pedahzur ^peanut^: I know I have.21:41
quakenulalright, using unetbootin instead of the universal usb installer i was able to get the setup running21:41
^peanut^pedahzur: yea me to over the years21:41
pedahzurquakenul: Glad to hear it!21:41
quakenulalso updated the wiki to reflect that in case someone else has the same problem21:41

webPragmatistwhats the consensus… are private keys normally per domain or just one for apache22:20
webPragmatistseems like a pain in the but generating it per domain… but in the event your private key was confiscated you wouldn't have to pay per signed cert22:20
