| Jason1 | ok I think I've fixed the issues. I got it to restart now. But it would help to know how I can get an original sshd_config file without doing a reinstall | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| thebwt | hmm, you could download the .deb and extract it from that | 00:07 |
| pmatulis | Jason1: the file obtained from downloading the source package is the same as /usr/share/doc/openssh-client/examples/sshd_config | 01:59 |
| ivo_ | guys do you think this will make a good swap devise: OCZ Vertex2 2,5" SSD 40 GB ?? | 01:59 |
| pmatulis | Jason1: but i can't say whether this file is what you get when you install openssh-server | 01:59 |
| pmatulis | Jason1: it seems rather different from the one on my system | 02:00 |
| qman__ | ivo_, I don't have personal experience, but what I've read and heard suggests that SSDs aren't great for constant writing/rewriting, in that they wear out quickly | 02:14 |
| qman__ | I'd go for something like a raptor or 10/15k SCSI disk instead | 02:14 |
| qman__ | higher RPM disks will get access times down, which is the main advantage of SSD | 02:17 |
| qman__ | performance wise | 02:17 |

| waheedi | hello | 12:02 |
| waheedi | i have a 10.0 4 server running on 8 GIG of ram and two cpus | 12:03 |
| waheedi | a large ec2 instance from amazon | 12:03 |
| waheedi | and the average load is always above 3/0 | 12:04 |
| waheedi | somtimes its 4.4 | 12:04 |
| cloakable | Then you're loading it up too much | 12:05 |
| waheedi | but i cant see any process using cpu | 12:05 |
| cloakable | load isn't just cpu... | 12:05 |
| cloakable | It's all the system resources | 12:05 |
| waheedi | nop cloakable | 12:06 |
| waheedi | average load, is the load for the processes waiting their turn to be processed on cpu | 12:06 |
| cloakable | hmm | 12:06 |
| waheedi | so apparently you need to know what is average load before answering me | 12:07 |
| cloakable | Well, thank you for your highly diplomatic answer | 12:08 |
| waheedi | you most welcome, mate | 12:09 |
| waheedi | still i need someone help | 12:09 |
| waheedi | i need to know what is the normal average load for a busy server | 12:10 |
| cloakable | Linux includes processes in uninterruptible sleep states, typically waiting for some I/O activity to complete. This can markedly increase the load average on Linux systems. | 12:11 |
| cloakable | According to a little basic googling | 12:12 |
| cloakable | In that case, I'd look at your I/O | 12:14 |
| TuxSax | waheedi: the best is that no process is waiting in queue for it's CPU turn, so the recommended load average should be always below 1 | 12:20 |
| TuxSax | but I have a server that is most of the time on 2 and it's working fine, mysql queries are loading it up, I'm running around 2700 queries every minute and that's what loads my server up | 12:21 |
| waheedi | TuxSax: cloakable according to this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-on-ec2/+bug/574910 i think i have the same bug | 12:21 |
| uvirtbot | Launchpad bug 574910 in linux-ec2 "High load averages on Lucid while idling" [Undecided,In progress] | 12:21 |
| TuxSax | waheedi: well, I can't help with solving those bugs... I only know I never like to see my servers going higher than 1 second in their load avg | 12:22 |
| TuxSax | 1 second in CPU time terms is an eternity! | 12:22 |
| waheedi | :( | 12:23 |
| waheedi | it 2-4 on my server | 12:23 |
| waheedi | im gonna switch bakc to a previous release | 12:23 |
| TuxSax | but as I said, 2 sec on one of the servers and still responding well | 12:23 |
| TuxSax | so it all depends on the platform I guess | 12:24 |
| waheedi | yeah true TuxSax | 12:28 |
| waheedi | now if i want to upgrade my server kernel | 12:29 |
| waheedi | is it safe to do it on production | 12:29 |
| waheedi | while its serving some users | 12:29 |
| TuxSax | waheedi: preferably not as it may have to be reloaded, but I'm not an EC2 expert, you may better contact Amazon support for that | 12:30 |
| waheedi | hmm | 12:31 |
| waheedi | im running ubuntu | 12:31 |
| TuxSax | Can't you better temporarily load another instance with an upgraded kernel and then move the service to there, then stop the "older" instance? | 12:31 |
| waheedi | hmm | 12:31 |
| waheedi | sounds better actually but it needs so many work | 12:31 |
| TuxSax | I don't recommend this kind of upgrades on "live" serving systems... what if it went wrong? | 12:32 |
| waheedi | many new installations, moving DB | 12:32 |
| waheedi | yeah that would be a killer :) | 12:32 |
| TuxSax | waheedi: there is always two ways, the short way and the right way, you choose... ;-) | 12:33 |
| waheedi | hahaha 1000% true | 12:33 |
| waheedi | btw i would love to share my new service with you check it out, http://dakwak.com | 12:33 |

| Jason3 | Im deploying linux on my server and I have just set the hostname for my machine "blah" When I am setting up the FQDN should it be: | 15:15 |
| Jason3 | myip www.mysite.com (hostname here) | 15:16 |
| bogeyd6 | probably not | 15:27 |
| bogeyd6 | Jason3, www should be an a record for the machines ip address | 15:27 |
| bogeyd6 | the fqdn for the machine should be blah.domain.com | 15:28 |
| bogeyd6 | then www as an A record | 15:28 |

| AndyGraybeal | does anyone have a guide or website handy that explaines how to setup a seperate home partition during install with ubuntu 10.04? | 16:32 |
| AndyGraybeal | something that is step by step | 16:34 |
| klaas | mnaual partitioning during installation | 16:37 |
| klaas | or you just do it by hand later:) | 16:37 |
| AndyGraybeal | klaas: i've tried to manually do it during the installation. for some reason, it doesn't automatically mount it. | 16:38 |
| AndyGraybeal | or maybe there is something i'm not understanding. | 16:39 |
| klaas | use fstab | 16:39 |
| AndyGraybeal | okay then that's what i'll try; i thought the installer would handle that for me | 16:40 |
| rdw200169 | during the manual partitioning step you have to specify the mount points for all the drives you want in fstab. if you specify a particular partition to be for /home, for example, then you're done | 17:25 |

| jeremyn | does anyone have any tips for this ssh error? "debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0" | 17:26 |
| jeremyn | received using ssh -vvv <hostname> while attempting to ssh to a server | 17:27 |
| jeremyn | it's just from one system, i can ssh to the server from another server no problem | 17:35 |
| Jason3 | just installed apache, mysql, and php on my server. i have a test index.php file but when I enter it in the URL it tries to download the file rather than opening it. ????? | 17:35 |
| jeremyn | also, other communication between the "bad" client and the server works fine, it's just ssh with the problem | 17:35 |
| Jason3 | normal html files are fine. PHP files don't want to open | 17:36 |
| jeremyn | Jason3: be sure to enable php for apache, like "sudo a2enmod php5" or whatever else | 17:39 |
| Jason3 | says its already enabled | 17:44 |
| jeremyn | Jason3: not sure man, sounds like the problem is that apache doesn't think php files are something that can be executed | 17:46 |
| Jason3 | can root own the index.php file and it run in the webbrowser? | 17:48 |
| jeremyn | Jason3: that's not how it works. apache runs the php file on the server and sends you output | 17:50 |
| jeremyn | Jason3: php files do not run in your browser | 17:50 |
| jeremyn | i figured out my ssh problem btw if anyone is interested, i was trying to ssh <hostname> but hostname wasn't identified in /etc/hosts | 17:51 |
| funkyHat | jeremyn: you need to install libapache2-mod-php5 | 17:51 |
| jeremyn | funkyHat: i think you meant that for Jason3 | 17:51 |
| funkyHat | jeremyn: sorry, yeah | 17:52 |
| Jason3 | i understand. i think it might be permissions. root owns the file | 17:52 |
| funkyHat | jeremyn: if it's just something you want to define for ssh you could use ~/.ssh/config instead | 17:52 |
| jeremyn | funkyHat: nah, i want it generally known but thanks for the tip | 17:52 |
| funkyHat | that's also quite good if you want to define a username so you don't have to type it each time (of course if you have the same username as on the client that's irrelevant) | 17:53 |
| funkyHat | Jason3: if apache was trying to serve the php file as text then it can read the file, so that's not the issue | 17:53 |
| Jason3 | ok | 17:56 |
| Jason3 | i've seen others in some foroumns that have the same problem but their solutions aren't working for me. | 18:11 |
| Hilikus | i'm trying to configure bind9 to solve loopback problems with clients in the LAN, but my dns is dynip.com. if i define a zone dynip.com will it try to resolve X.dynip.com? i want to limit my dns server to a specific subdomain | 18:17 |
| Hilikus | and have everything else forwarded | 18:17 |
| Jason3 | it was the browsers cache that was the problem. I cleared the cache and all is ok | 18:21 |
| Jason3 | I've got my server running great at the moment. What is the best way to do a full backup of it? | 18:49 |
| thebwt | Jason3: what specifically? many people keep /etc under version controll | 18:55 |
| Jason3 | I'm running a server remotely, I dont have access to the physical box. I've just setup ubuntu and have it working smoothly. Im not very familiar with any type of linux and I want to backup everything so that rather than doing a fresh install and then going through and apt-get etc all the packages, and installing apache, mysql and php all over again is there a way to just copy files | 18:57 |
| thebwt | I guess you could clone drives.. but thats inneffecient. installing thsoe things is easy, it's conmfiguring them thats the pain right? | 18:58 |
| Jason3 | yes that would be true | 18:59 |
| thebwt | off on a hike bbl | 18:59 |
| Jason3 | thebwt: so the best thing to do is be prepared to do the full install and just keep my config files backed up? | 19:00 |

| kinygos | hi all...apologies for the n00b question. i'm running ubuntu server 10.04 lts, and changing the keyboard layout to uk qwerty using console-data. when i reboot, the layout is back to us. how do i get it to default to uk? | 22:06 |
| kinygos | if it's a lengthy answer, can anyone give me a hint as to where to look for an answer? | 22:08 |
| sherr | kinygos: I have the following in /etc/default/console-setup : | 22:08 |

| sherr | Maybe relevant to your problem. | 22:09 |
| kinygos | thank you :) i'll have a look | 22:09 |
| MTecknology | So.. I added a PPA but apt-get update then apt-cache policy won't show the new version.. Any ideas why? | 22:28 |
| kinygos | sherr: i made that change, but it hasn't made a difference...i've been hunting round for hints online but failing miserably...any other ideas? | 22:29 |
| kinygos | does anyone know how to change the default keyboard layout and mappings in ubuntu server 10.04 lts? | 22:32 |

| kinygos | ChmEarl: unfortunately, it's back to US again :( | 22:43 |
| kinygos | at risk of spamming my question: how do i get ubuntu server 10.04 to remember the keyboard layout i specify with dkpg-reconfigure console-setup? | 22:47 |
