[12:55] lol [12:55] indeed [12:55] *g* [12:56] Hmmm [12:56] Trying to figure out what I need to install to get dlm working with ocf:pacemaker:controld. [12:57] I installed cman even though I'm using pacemaker, but it still gives a dlm: not installed rc status. [13:10] I have found an AMI with Ubuntu 10.04 installed, it is EBS and i configured everything. The performance is on c1.small [13:10] What can i do to increase the performance to e.g. c1.xlarge [13:10] "performance"? [13:11] http://aws.amazon.com/de/ec2/instance-types/ [13:11] Guest56018: You essentially want to upgrade your instance to a higher spec? [13:11] Amazon is offering different performance types for their virtual machines. [13:12] Thats right, but with the current data on my volume [13:15] Guest56018: smoser might be able to help. It's not really a Ubuntu specific issue :( [13:25] apt-get install \* [13:26] :D [13:31] hi all. I have this machine used as a number cruncher - it seems the kernel is leaking memory somehow. See http://pastebin.com/ZFbxG3Ni for free/slabinfo/ps. any idea what may cause this? === ivoks is now known as ivoks_away [13:35] Hmm interesting. [13:36] I upgraded to the PPA for lucid-cluster for pacemaker stuff, which got me dlm controld for it all, but the ocf:pacemaker:controld does not have the parameter for "daemon". [13:36] RoyK: why do you say there is a leak? [13:46] Heh, interesting. Though the ocf:pacemaker:countrold doesn't have the "daemon" paremeter, it checks the resource-name instance for if it has [gG][fF][sS] or [dD][lL][mM] in it to determine if it's a gfs or dlm instance. ;) [13:49] Guest56018, your big issue is with architecture. the largest you can go in i386 is c1.medium. [13:49] If you want to move to c1.medium, its easy. [13:50] wow, nice! OK; i have to make a whole new AMI (like ubuntu 64bit), and do everything again === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [13:51] you stop the instance (ec2-stop-instances), and then start the instance with a new --instance-type (ec2-modify-instance-attribute --instance-type c1.medium ) , ec2-start-instances [13:51] hggdh, kirkland: ping me when around. need status on server-maverick-uec-testing and server-maverick-uec-liveusb [13:52] Thank you, very helpful! Do there exist different package versions of 32 and 64 bit? I use apache, php, exim4 and so on [13:52] i have never tried it, but it may be possible for you to boot an i386 root filesystem on an x86_64 arch, you'd have to get the x86_64 modules installed in the root filesytem though. (you probably dont want to do this) [13:52] I cannot migrate my 32 bit EBS to a 64 bit AMI [13:53] well, maybe you coudl. its just not goig nto be easy or ideal. [13:53] http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/server/releases/10.04/ [13:53] those are our released AMI ids. we should have refreshed ones later today. [13:53] just pick a x86_64 instance, basically everything will be the same unless you have some arch specific code. [13:54] OK understood everything! Thank you!! I do it from scratch again with your AMIs and hope that everything that worked in the 32 bit now works again [13:54] there really is very little "works on i386 doesn't on x86_64" [13:55] Final question: This is one possibility to "scale up". Another possibility is to scale up with multiple instances and a load balancer. i have now 5 instances running of one AMI. but where do i have to attach my EBS volume to? [13:55] i don't have RDS nor S3, only an apache website with CPU-needing programs on it. [14:01] sisi [14:01] partyboy77, hello [14:02] Mamac are you here ??

[14:53] what does vps stand for? [14:53] If they come back I want to direct them to using a vps if they can't keep a reliable connection [14:54] mamac: Virtual Private Server [14:54] virtual private server [14:54] MTecknology: Heh. That's a bit overkill isn't it? :p [14:55] Some people's internet connections become temporarily unstable while, for example, their ISP is doing maintenance, or thunderstorms causing interuptions in service, or ... Well, various levels of possabilities.

[14:58] this is their own connection though [15:02] $6.95/mo for a VPS and then you'd also get to host a website [15:02] probably a php-free website [15:06] MTecknology, you banning me? :) [15:07] patdk-wk: yes, you! get out!

[15:11] heh [15:31] hi all, I'm installing ubuntu server on vmware; any recommendations for minimum mem allocation and hard disk space? [15:31] I did aptitude install multipath-tools and it didn't create an /etc/multipath.conf file. Where can I find this conf file? [15:34] iceflatline: runs fine w/ 512 megs of ram. Just scale up what you are running on the server from there. === ivoks_away is now known as ivoks [15:35] thesheff17, gotcha, thanks much. [15:36] iceflatline: depends on what you want to do; for simple tests, I usually boot a 256M instance; for heavier tests, usually a 512 [15:38] hggdh: small home svn and web server - nothing too killer. First time with VMware though... [15:41] iceflatline, what are you going use it for? [15:41] hmm, web could use some mem, all depends [15:41] vmware is good at swapping mem though [15:41] iceflatline: I had my first web server on about 16MB RAM - It didn't go fast.. but it worked - now I'd suggested a minimum of ~64MB for Ubuntu server + Nginx [15:42] no.. it was 8MB.. [15:42] I think, I know I decked it out [15:42] smallest I could get ubuntu server to use was 24megs ram :) [15:42] patdk-wk: thanks. I've got plenty of sys mem, so would prefer to avoid swapping if I can. I was considering bumping virtual mem to 1024 [15:43] iceflatline, is this vmware workstation? or esxi? [15:43] patdk-wk: server [15:43] esxi, just overallocate like nuts [15:43] :) [15:43] hmm, dunno about server, thought it was dead :) [15:44] k, I'll start with the (vmware) recommended 512 and see how it feels. Thanks for the help guys. [15:46] hggdh: around ? [15:50] ttx: here [15:51] hggdh: about the uec-testing spec. The items on your shoulders are still up for completion by next week ?

[16:02] Seems like I'm going to have to use both cman and pacemaker just to get clvm working. :/ [16:02] At least I don't have to use rgmanager though. :0 === oubiwann is now known as oubiwann-away === oubiwann-away is now known as oubiwann === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [16:12] ttx, with no ebs root support in eucalyptus, i dont see any huge value in euca2ools 1.3 [16:12] so i would say stick with 1.2 [16:13] smoser: I agree, but I would still like to run (for a test) 1.3 [16:13] smoser: that is quickly becoming our common position [16:38] Is it even possible to run clvm without cman? [16:43] Hey. i'm looking for suggestions... [16:44] Suggestion: Ask your question. [16:44] I have been running, for quite a while, tests from lp:~smoser/+junk/ec2-test [16:44] that really needs to move to the ubuntu-on-ec2 project or somewhere, but ignore that for the moment. [16:44] what i'm looking for suggestions on is that it creates logs of the test results. [16:45] I'd like to store those logs somewher other than my laptop :) [16:45] a bzr branch along side of the test suite, seems to be a reasonable place, but the logs are somewhat large (I currenlty have 86M of logs) [16:46] Psi-Jack: I'm pretty sure no [16:46] they're text, so they compress well, but compressing them before checking them in means that a.) they're less useful and b.) they're binary blobs in a revision control system. [16:46] Psi-Jack: I worked w/ cman a lot w/ my old job, and I'm pretty sure clvmd has to use cman for locking [16:46] hggdh, i think that you are checking in logs larger than that, though, is that right ? [16:47] Psi-Jack: I'll just have a quick look [16:47] G: Actually, I just did. Just that the ubuntu clvmd init script checks for /etc/cluster/cluster.conf and cman_tool status, but cman communicates through openais and dlm_controld for /everything/, which I already have pacemaker bringing up dlm_controld and it's of course using openais. [16:48] Err... clvmd communicates through... [16:50] So far though, now that I took out those initial checks in clvmd, it's running and appearing to function without cman at all. [16:53] It's just like people think gfs2 requires cman to work, because of gfs_controld, but it's not required, as I'm initiating gfs_controld from pacemaker. ;) [16:53] Psi-Jack: well the reason for that is because it's the only solution that Red Hat officially supports (why people think it's the only way) [16:54] Yep. :) [16:54] Pacemaker's definitely come a looooooong way. [16:54] As has it's documentation, for once I finally understand it! [17:00] And there's even an ocf provider lvm2 which has clvmd. ;) [17:06] New bug: #625394 in puppet (main) "Should puppet-master require, suggest or recommend activerecord?"

Would be awesome to have one available since we probably won't be syncing it into Maverick. [17:12] SpamapS: I don't know how to, presently, no. [17:13] smoser: oh yes. Even compressed, I checked in logs adding up to ~80M [17:13] Psi-Jack: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA [17:13] and this is what you ended up settling on, eh? [17:14] SpamapS: Alrighty. I'll look into that in a bit. ;) [17:14] smoser: yes, but much against my will. I found nothing else... [17:14] yeah. and you check in binaries, right ? [17:15] the .tar.gz rather than the source [17:15] I check in tar.gz [17:15] yeah [17:15] of course, every new checkin is a brand new checkin... [17:15] why did you choose to do that ? [17:15] versus checking in the tar [17:15] err. [17:15] not the tar, but the text output [17:15] because of the time it would take to upload them all [17:16] each long-running test adds up to 300M of logs [17:16] hm.. [17:16] is that true ? [17:16] well, I am playing it safe, so I save *all* logs [17:16] a bzr push should send the repo, not the checked out files, and the repo may be compressed for you [17:17] git can do wonderful things in that regard. [17:17] lifeless, ? [17:17] oh [17:17] bloody hell, I forgot that bzr does a good part of it [17:17] :-( [17:17] is there reason for me to compress (ie, create a .tar.gz) before checking something in ? will that gain me anything ? versus checking in a large bunch of text files [17:18] git does a fantastic job. i really dont have any experience with bzr in this regard. [17:18] smoser: it'll break svn diff [17:18] well, i dont think svn diff would work anyway :) (its bzr) [17:18] :) [17:18] k [17:19] but yeah, i am just wondering if there is *any* benefit to doing it. [17:19] and, in my case, every new log upload is a Brand New Directory, so no diffs [17:19] at first blush, it seems like you're compressing something, so that will smaller. [17:19] smoser: I can try [17:19] hggdh, but even the new directory may be compressed. [17:20] ie, you could store *everything* in .bzr in a packed/compressed format [17:20] right now I tar -cz every thing I upload [17:20] that is what git does. [17:20] right. [17:20] i'm just saying, that may buy you nothing savings in local storage. [17:20] * RoyK sniggers http://karlsbakk.net/top-24.png [17:21] yeah. I have to test it === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [17:22] above that should have said "nothing but savings in local storage of the checked out branch" === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [17:25] which might be enough for me, with each test run adding in a few hundreds M [17:26] still, I will check it [17:34] hggdh, my queries in bzr indicate that you should check in the full log files [17:34] smoser: couldnt you store the diff? [17:34] well, in this case (hggdh's and mine) there is no diff, really. [17:35] and in both cases, even if there were, thats basically what bzr is trying to generically do [17:37] smoser: I will try it on next save [17:40] anyone hwere use libvirtd?

[17:48] n0a1ias: you could install a steam dedicated sever for many of its games, infact any online game will prolly have a server program that you can install] [17:49] n0a1ias: woah...ok you need to go to the ubunt server site and do some reading... [17:49] yea im on it now as well as here [17:49] if you don't know what it can do or what you wanna use it for why have it, you can do most things with ubuntu anyway [17:50] why not start out with something basic.. like a webserver [17:50] because i have an old computer and dont know what to do with it [17:50] ok i dont have a website, i guess i better make one [17:52] once i have a website how would i put it on the server? [17:53] like im using webs.com [17:53] n0a1ias, or maybe you want to learn assembly programming, or write documentation, or learn python/C/perl/. web hosting is not the only thing you can do. [17:54] n0a1ias: with all due respect this is a help channel not a hold your hand channel. there are plenty of good guides out there... [17:54] figuring out what you *want* to do is probably a good place to start :) [17:55] haha, im not into programing, in taking cico classes and im gonna be a computer engineer, so is there anything i would need for that? [17:55] smoser: that only place to start really.. unless you want a server there doing nothing except warming your house and using more power [17:55] cico == cisco ? [17:55] wel im am cold....

[17:58] and that is just for starters [17:59] well here, lets start at the begining [17:59] what is a server? [18:00] n0a1ias: pls read the server-guide and ask what you dont' understand ;) [18:00] ok. [18:00] n0a1ias again this isn't a kindergarten of servers.... [18:00] n0a1ias: you know wikipedia? [18:01] i know [18:01] yea, i know what a server is, im just putting the deffinition out there so i can find out what i what it to do [18:02] n0a1ias, wrong way around imho. if you decide it's a hammer now, you're just going to bend a lot of nails [18:02] figure out what you want to do, and then worry about getting the tools to play along [18:03] isnt that what im doing? i think i might go for a shh but im not shure btw [18:04] n0a1ias: you really don't have any need of a server therefore it is a waste of electricity [18:04] n0a1ias: yeah, just do it http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html [18:04] n0a1ias: you can install normal ubuntu on older hardware too, or look at things like puppy linux [18:04] pick something to learn and learn it [18:05] i know but i want a server, if for no other reason than that im still doing it [18:06] could i have it do multiple things? [18:06] n0a1ias: if you want to install a frontend onto the server (a gui) you may aswell install ubuntu and install the server type packages oontop of that# [18:06] n0a1ias: do it! and then ask if it does not work [18:06] n0a1ias: of course [18:06] ok thanks, im going with shh, and a proxy server [18:07] n0a1ias: have fun [18:13] hggdh, so, a little test and results here: [18:13] $ du -hs .bzr [18:13] 4.1M .bzr [18:13] $ ls -lh *.tar.gz [18:13] -rw-r--r-- 1 smoser smoser 420K 2010-08-27 13:12 hardy-server-daily-20100827.tar.gz [18:13] -rw-r--r-- 1 smoser smoser 433K 2010-08-27 13:12 karmic-server-daily-20100826.tar.gz [18:13] -rw-r--r-- 1 smoser smoser 975K 2010-08-27 13:12 lucid-server-daily-20100827.tar.gz [18:13] $ du -hs *2[0-9] [18:13] 3.2M hardy-server-daily-20100827 [18:13] 3.2M karmic-server-daily-20100826 [18:13] 7.4M lucid-server-daily-20100827 [18:14] hte bzr repo is tracking the directories. i just created the tarballs to see what size they would be themselves. [18:14] (ie, if i checked them in). [18:14] so, the checkout is 7.4 + 3.2*2 = 13.8 M. [18:15] the tarballs would be 1.8M [18:15] and the .bzr dir is 4.1M [18:15] is there a non-caching proxy for ubuntu? [18:16] mickster04, i would guess that you could turn caching off on squid or robably any other proxy. [18:17] hggdh, when i checked those tarballs into a new repo, the .bzr dir was 1.9M. [18:17] so, this is just "initial state", but the .tar.gz checkins do benefit you at least there. maybe later in repo life you'd get better delta storage. [18:17] smoser: well lasst tim i tried when a user was denied access it still mention cache rather than proxy [18:18] i really odnt have any experience with it, sorry. it just would seem like you could set the cache size to 0 or very low and essentially kill it [18:19] smoser: yeah thats what i thought. i wonder if theres a way of testing it [18:19] por favor, fresh 10.04.1 server install. setup local ip, sn & dns (off-site). can ping everywhere, but dns not working. couldn't download any packages. help? [18:20] tynot, your /etc/resolv.conf has a dns ? [18:21] on a macbook pro in the same local network. best way to term into it to check? [18:22] smoser, i thought i entered it. [18:24] 'term into it' ? ssh ip.address [18:24] smoser: does mac have an ssh server? [18:24] my guess is that you put in a bad dns server, or cannot reach the dns server. [18:24] i have no idea. but my guess is yes. [18:38] yes it does [18:41] squidly: what does? [18:46] smoser: there isnt a -initrd-virtual anymore in maverick? [18:46] silly you [18:46] that was gone in lucid [18:46] uec-publish-tarball is what you want to use. [18:46] smoser: its in the readme though [18:47] what README ? [18:47] does it not say optional ? [18:47] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-on-ec2/vmbuilder/automated-ec2-builds/annotate/head%3A/README.files ? [18:47] ah yes...i didnt read that part [18:47] :) [18:56] smoser: not sure what you're asking [18:58] well, basically, hggdh is checking into a bzr repo a bunch of .tar.gz files that contain a directory full of logs (text) [18:58] he's doing that in an effort to save disk and bandwidth [18:59] i had hoped/thought that it not actually save .bzr/ space or bandwidth, and thus he could simply check in uncompressed text logs. [19:00] my test shows that bzr does an OK job (gets some compression) but not a great job. in the initial commit the .bzr directory is smaller by checking in .tar.gz files than by checking in dir/*.txt files. [19:00] before testing it, i was asking you if checking in .tar.gz files was pointless. [19:00] my test did only initial check in, i'm not sure if future commits would see better deltas with text than with tar [19:00] that all make sense ? [19:01] checking in .tar.gz is pointless [19:01] it is in fact counterproductive because zlib fucks with the data so that its extremely hard to compress it further [19:02] bzr and git use the same underlying compressor; we do different things on top, but I'd expect pretty similar results [19:02] bzr did better out of the gate than .git did. [19:02] but git repack came away ahead [19:03] again, this is only after the initial commit. [19:03] sure [19:03] its not completely counterproductive, as my numbers show above [19:03] smoser: du -sh .bzr is often an inaccurate count [19:04] particularly if you're trying to assess bandwidth and space over time [19:04] anyone know the ubuntu channle name for ubuntu virtualization talk ? [19:04] axisys, either here or ubuntu-cloud [19:04] if you want to measure active storage you need to exclude .bzr/repository/{obsolete-packs,upload} [19:05] smoser: i think it something like #ubuntu-virt.. or something.. i forgot [19:05] axisys, http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com/msg04352.html [19:05] smoser: no wonder :-) [19:05] smoser: thanks [19:06] smoser: i was trying to go to #ubuntu-virt.. should have redirected me to #ubuntu-server .. may be it did and I did not pay attention [19:07] axisys, it did [19:07] you're here :) [19:07] smoser: i usually login to #ubuntu-server by default.. may be that is why i did not notice.. thanks [19:09] i have a laptop with intel core 2 duo 2.4ghz, 8gb ram and 750gb hard drive.. i want to setup my private cloud in here while still have gnome (after all this is my laptop) .. what path is recommended for that ? [19:09] should i install desktop and then use vbox to install ubuntu cloud ? [19:10] or should i do desktop + kvm and do the cloud using kvm ? [19:10] too many choices.. :-) === unreal_ is now known as unreal === ivoks is now known as ivoks_away [19:12] can we teach uvirtbot things? [19:12] !uvirtbot [19:12] uvirtbot: can you learn? [19:12] SpamapS: Error: "can" is not a valid command. [19:12] uvirtbot: launchpad [19:12] SpamapS: Error: "launchpad" is not a valid command. [19:12] Why? ubottu is here. [19:12] Oh I meant ubottu [19:12] uvirtbot: sorry [19:12] SpamapS: Error: "sorry" is not a valid command. [19:12] !usage [19:12] Hi! I'm #ubuntu-server's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins#Using [19:13] should really teach ubottu what happend to ubuntu-virt ;) [19:16] SpamapS: probably a good idea or smoser have to keep posting that mail for all newbies like me :-) [19:17]
