[00:22] <ehcah> Can I mirror a couple of 16GB USB Thumdrives during Server OS install?
[00:25] <ehcah> Or is USB Raid a very new MOBO feature?
[00:34] <Daviey> Volvo: reading scrollback... i don't care much for your attitude.
[00:36] <Daviey> Volvo: If zul was around, do you think with your comments he is likely to try and help?
[00:36] <Daviey> I don't think i would be inclined to help.
[00:45] <Volvo> Daviey: If it got fixed in a while id like it. I dont think my input was bad when all i want to do is to help fix a bug. Do you ?
[00:53] <Daviey> ''<Volvo> -Because if you cant make a pckage out of perfectly working software id call you a loosely knit team of ... Politichians ?'
[00:54] <Daviey> Volvo: So, which bug # is this?
[00:56] <Volvo> try to start "nmbd"
[00:58] <Volvo> Itll stop running just about directly and so the server or computer its runing on cannot be found.
[01:01] <Daviey> Volvo: yes, but what bug number is this?
[01:02] <Volvo> I guess one could give it a quick search
[01:02] <Daviey> Volvo: please
[01:04] <Volvo> If i was you, and im not trying to be bad or anything. Then id care and try to start "nmbd" and see if it dies directly on my own computer but apparently im bad and must be punished :)
[01:05] <Volvo> Daviey: Do you have any interrest in servers working on Ubuntu or not ?
[01:05] <Daviey> Volvo: no, i'm not seeing the same behaviour as you
[01:05] <Daviey> Volvo: If you have discovered an issue, and want to help fix it - it needs a bug number.
[01:05] <Volvo> But... are you really sure. Youcouldnt have been in this tiny SO_LINGERING
[01:07] <Daviey> Volvo:  http://pb.daviey.com/UYLB/raw/
[01:08] <Volvo> And its running now...
[01:08] <Volvo> Then perhaps its a query issue and then it dies like the microsoft isa servers used to do from my simple scanner in 1998.
[01:09] <shauno> similar, http://pastie.org/1326798
[01:09] <Daviey> Volvo: Really can't take this much further without a bug #.
[01:10] <Volvo> Very good shauno.
[01:10] <shauno> (I do realise how useless 'me too' is, but in the context of "it's dead out of the box", there's mine "out of the box")
[01:10] <Volvo> Something kills it. I need to pinpoint that sucker :)
[01:11] <Daviey> Volvo: let us know when you have a bug number.
[01:12] <Volvo> I guess an agressive scan against it needs to be constructed or nmblookup be run a few times and perhaps with invalid targets.
[01:12] <Volvo> Daviey: Ill smash this, nw.
[01:15] <toddnine> Hi guys.  Question about RAID0.  If I create a RAID 0 array with  mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdi1 /dev/sdi10 /dev/sdi2 /dev/sdi3 /dev/sdi4 /dev/sdi5 /dev/sdi6 /dev/sdi7 /dev/sdi8 /dev/sdi9
[01:15] <toddnine> then stop it with mdadm --stop /dev/md0
[01:15] <toddnine> shouldn't I be able to re-attach it with mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdi1 /dev/sdi10 /dev/sdi2 /dev/sdi3 /dev/sdi4 /dev/sdi5 /dev/sdi6 /dev/sdi7 /dev/sdi8 /dev/sdi9?
[01:15] <toddnine> I always receive the error mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sdi1: Device or resource busy
[01:15] <toddnine> mdadm: /dev/sdi1 has no superblock - assembly aborted
[01:19] <Volvo> Its mounted ?
[01:21] <toddnine> yup that got it
[01:22] <toddnine> Volvo: thank you, I'm creating a chef recipe and missed that step.  Regarding mdadm and --assemble.  Does the order of the drives in the command matter?
[01:26] <Volvo> Nope
[01:36] <Volvo> Youre welcome.
[03:32] <LowValueTarget> how long do you think it would take to run an fsck on a 6.3T volume
[03:32] <twb> LowValueTarget: O(1)
[03:33] <LowValueTarget> twb: ?
[03:33] <twb> LowValueTarget: constant time
[03:33] <LowValueTarget> :(
[03:33] <LowValueTarget> not feasible to run in a few hours
[03:33] <LowValueTarget> we talking days or weeks
[03:54] <lifeless> LowValueTarget: depends on the fs
[03:54] <lifeless> ext4 can be very very fast
[03:54] <LowValueTarget> lifeless: ext4 i believe
[03:54] <LowValueTarget> err
[03:54] <LowValueTarget> 3
[03:56] <LowValueTarget> actually lifeless fdisk is showing ext3 on a GPT partition
[04:13] <StrangeCharm> how can i recompile the gnu utilities with large file support? i need to cp a Large file.
[04:24] <lifeless> StrangeCharm: we build with LFS
[04:25] <StrangeCharm> well, then something really peculiar is happening, lifeless, because i'm trying to cp some files, and getting the "value too large for defined data type" error listed at http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#Value-too-large-for-defined-data-type
[04:30] <lifeless> are you on a 32bit or 64bit build?
[04:30] <lifeless> what does uname -a show
[04:31] <StrangeCharm> lifeless, i have Linux name 2.6.32-26-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 17 15:59:05 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[06:51] <twb> So guess what
[06:52] <twb> I have a motherboard that doesn't support PS/2.  USB keyboard works in the BIOS, and post-boot -- but it can't be used to hold shift/alt to interrupt grub
[06:52]  * Datz is tempted to say chicken butt
[06:52] <Datz> twb: surprising
[06:52] <Datz> I have the opposite problem sometimes
[06:53] <twb> Also: if you lvchange -pr /dev/mapper/vg0-my_favourite_snapshot0, and /etc/fstab says to fsck it -- guess what happens
[06:54] <twb> That's right, mountall exit(4)'s, and the whole boot just halts -- no recovery shell, no reboot, nothing
[06:54] <twb> (Because e2fsck fails on read-only LVs.)
[06:54] <twb> e2fsck -p, that is.
[06:54]  * Datz had not guessed yet, therefore was not right
[06:55] <twb> Flipping upstart
[06:55] <twb> flipping grub2
[06:55] <Datz> did you just get a new mobo?
[06:55] <twb> Datz: it's a brand new machine
[06:55] <eagles0513875> hey guys
[06:55] <twb> Datz: but it's OK, I have these problems with Ubuntu on old machines, too.
[06:56] <eagles0513875> anyone using wordpress with squid as the proxy on the server? im debating if i should have each site im hosting setup with an individual caching plugin for wordpress or just setup squid in general on my server
[06:56] <Datz> twb: well, I'm  sure you'll find a work around. :)
[06:57] <twb> Yeah, the workaroud is "hope the machine never reboots"
[06:57] <Datz> twb: that's not much of a workaround :p
[06:57] <twb> Exactly
[06:57] <twb> The other workaround is "install debian, which may be slow to change, but at least it's slow to change"
[06:58]  * twb froths some more
[06:58] <Datz> yea
[06:58] <Datz> humm
[06:59] <twb> I increase the grub timeout, and it *can* see the keyboard
[06:59] <twb> It obviously just can't see the shift key down event in the zero seconds that's allocated by default
[07:02] <Datz> ah
[07:02] <Datz> great
[07:02] <twb> WTF, the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT code is handled in /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober -- which exists despite os-prober being purged
[07:05] <twb> Aaaand it reads 30_os-prober.distrib even after I dpkg-divert it, because it isn't using run-parts(8) to iterate over the parts.
[07:07] <twb> dpkg-statoverride'ing it instead does the trick
[07:08]  * Datz goes to bed
[10:41] <twb> Sigh.
[10:41] <twb> This change: http://paste.debian.net/100802/
[10:41] <twb> ...makes my lucid VM unbootable
[10:42] <twb> Or more accurately, it prevents it ever entering a runlevel, so none of the gettys start.
[12:26] <maddog> hiho
[12:27] <maddog> i have a ubuntu server 10.10 with a 3ware raid and a crypto volume. Everytime i write data to that volume, the transmission hangs every ~350mb for 30 seconds or so. I already disabled all caching functions on the controller, so i have no idea why that happens..ah, and i have plenty of entropy available (between 2000 and 4000)
[13:31] <lnx1010> Hello all, If i have several sites under my /var/www/ directory such as /var/www/site1 and /var/www/site2 etc how can i create website addresses for those sites so they can be browsed externally such as http://site1.company.com and http://site2.company.com? at the moment i can only get to them by internal ip such as http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/site1 and http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/site2
[13:33] <VirtSol> I'd like to virtualize, but my server doesn't support VT extentions. What is the best way to proceed?
[13:39] <zul> oooh....brides from russia
[13:41] <binBASH> huh? :D
[14:05] <PC_Nerd101> Hiya, I'm having trouble with upgrading form 9.04 - something along the lines of the xen kernel not being supported by later versions or something (I'm not too familiar with kernel related "stuff")...  uname -a gives http://paste.ubuntu.com/536693/  Can someone point me in the direction of some documentation on this?  most seems to be installing xen on ubuntu, not the other way around.  cheers.
[14:15] <UndiFineD> maddog, isn't it the bug where on high disk load the kernel hangs for a few seconds ?
[14:17] <maddog> it could, but shouldn't that be patched in the current kernel version
[14:21] <UndiFineD> I still encounter it on kernel 2.6.35-23
[14:21] <maddog> damn it
[14:22] <UndiFineD> I have two 1TB disks, when copying from one to the other, it occasionally stops here too
[14:24] <UndiFineD> each disk has 32MB cache and is 7200 rpm, so it is not the hardware
[14:30] <UndiFineD> maddog, http://paste.ubuntu.com/536701/
[16:40] <Doonz> has anyone cloned the boot drive and went from a 120gb drive to a larger drive?
[16:52] <ikonia> Doonz: what's up ?
[16:54] <Doonz> well im looking at replacing my main boot drive
[16:54] <ikonia> so what's the issue/question
[16:54] <ikonia> ok
[16:54] <Doonz> ive done cloning to windows boxes without issue but ive never do it with a linux disk before
[16:54] <ikonia> ok
[16:55] <ikonia> so what approach are you looking to take ?
[16:55] <Doonz> can i just take an image of the drive and then apply the image to the new drive?
[16:55] <ikonia> or is that part of the question
[16:55] <ikonia> how do you propose to take an image ?
[16:55] <Doonz> acronis
[16:55] <ikonia> for me personally, I wouldn't do that, especially if your changing the disk size
[16:56] <Doonz> well with acronis i have disk director wich allows for resizing of the partitions
[16:56] <ikonia> for me personally, I wouldn't do it that way, however I don't use acronis so don't have that much awareness of it
[16:57] <Doonz> well how would you go about doing it
[16:57] <ikonia> I would put the new disk in, partition it, and then copy the file systems across, re-apply grub and then I'm done
[16:57] <ikonia> (modify files such as fstab etc)
[16:59] <Doonz> do you know of a step by step guide i could follow?
[17:00] <ikonia> not directly, but it is as simple as partition the disk, mount the new disk, copy with recusion and permissions the file systems on to the new disk, modify /etc/fstab, then re-apply grub2
[17:13] <andylockran> highvoltage: thanks for the tip off about GOSA, looks interesting - is that what #ubuntu-server intend to use in the future for LDAP management then?  There doesn't seem to be much activity on the launchpad package other than pulling from upstread.
[18:34] <highvoltage> andylockran: not necessarilly, but lots of people use it or want to
[18:41] <sako> hey all, i am trying to get a package into my launchpad ppa... i don't know where to begin though
[19:00] <TheSov> does anyone have bind9 experience with 10.10, im switching over from slackware for the first time and ubuntu is scaring me. (not really i just cant seem to get to load the zone files)
[19:02] <UndiFineD> TheSov, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto
[19:04] <UndiFineD> TheSov, sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 restart will reload the zone files
[19:05] <TheSov> yes this i know, its not loading them
[19:05] <mrmist> what error is it giving ?
[19:05] <TheSov> even after i put them into the named.conf.local and copy them over and restart it
[19:05] <UndiFineD> did you try to upgrade the serialnumber ?
[19:06] <TheSov> *** [10.1.1.100] can't find www.redlinechicago.com: Server failed
[19:06] <TheSov> no didn't bump the serial numbers let me try that
[19:06] <mrmist> Though I don't think that would affect local queries, only prevent secondary servers from updating / make it less likely
[19:07] <mrmist> /var/log/daemon.log normally keeps quite good bind logs
[19:07] <TheSov> im going from slack 9 to ubuntu 10 im thinking maybe the zone files are not the same format anymore
[19:07] <TheSov> let me try using the example and rebuild one
[19:07] <TheSov> 1 sec
[19:10] <TheSov> hah when i run named-checkzone i get this: zone redlinechicago.com/IN: not loaded due to errors.
[19:11] <TheSov> suck i have to fix like 200 zones
[19:11] <mdeslaur> TheSov: look in dmesg to see if you have any apparmor denied messages
[19:11] <TheSov> i removed apparmor
[19:11] <mdeslaur> TheSov: well, that's not a good idea :)
[19:12] <TheSov> heh i suppose not but i couldnt get some of our apps working right and that fixed it
[19:12] <TheSov> this is very different than what i'm used to.
[19:12] <UndiFineD> apparmor needs a bind profile in /etc
[19:14] <dr4c4n> when I reload networking, why do the two additional virtual interfaces (ip alias's) that are defined, are not brought up?
[19:14] <mdeslaur> UndiFineD: what do you mean?
[19:14] <UndiFineD> i had that too with 10.04, once I created a profile for bind it worked
[19:32] <TheSov> sweet it works now, i was missing the name server A record, it wasnt required in the old version
[19:33] <UndiFineD> :)
[19:33] <TheSov> now i have to migrate users and their websites, very very sad to work on thanksgiving
[19:38] <TheSov> thanks for help everyone!
[19:45] <patdk-lap> is there a ec2 kernel that is protected against CVE-2010-3904?

[20:09] <jeremia> hi
[20:09] <jeremia> I want to limit the amount of RAM a programm may use. does anyone know how I can do this?
[20:10] <jeremia> I already tried ulimit from a bash shell, but it didn't work (tried parameters -m and -v)
[20:17] <eriksson25> Hi, need help removing a raid 5 array. Want to dissolve it and add the disks to two other arrays instad.
[20:18] <eriksson25> First problem, umount it, it complains that its busym but nothing is open and using it.
[20:23] <RoyK> jeremia: see ulimit
[20:23] <RoyK> eriksson25: umount -l
[20:24] <eriksson25> Just found the comand, so it says its not mounted, but when I try to stop the array is still says its busy?
[20:25] <eriksson25> I run "sudo mdadm --stop /dev/md0"
[20:25] <mrmist> If you're not bothered about the contents just shut the computer down and remove the disks.  That'll sort it.
[20:26] <eriksson25> Well, if I could. I am doing this over ssh. And the disks are going to a other array on the same machine.
[20:27] <mrmist> Oh i see you're not physically relocating anything
[20:27] <eriksson25> nope
[20:27] <mrmist> k
[20:28] <eriksson25> is there a force comand to the mdadm stop comand?
[20:58] <TheSov> so i transferred all our users from slack to the ubuntu server box but now i have a strange issue. some, not all of the users webpages get served as downloads instead of actual pages
[20:58] <TheSov> anyone got a clue on that?
[21:00] <TheSov> seems to be only the php pages
[21:02] <TheSov> im guessing that means php is not working correct?
[21:03] <VSD20C> is it hard to install phpmyadmin from code line?
[21:03] <ikonia> VSD20C: do you need it ?
[21:03] <ikonia> TheSov: yes, it means the php 5 moudules are either not installed or apache is not loading them
[21:04] <TheSov> i just did an apt-get install php5
[21:04] <TheSov> lets see if that fixes it
[21:04] <ikonia> TheSov: make sure you got the apache php module, rather than just the cli
[21:04] <TheSov> im a newcomer to ubuntu my old server is slackware
[21:04] <TheSov> whats the package name for that?
[21:05] <VSD20C> well i'm trying to build a lamp and i just install the server ISO with lamp configuration.. i was hoping phpmyadmin would be an easier way to manage it
[21:05] <ikonia> VSD20C: have you looked at mysql-admin, there are big risks using web based managers
[21:06] <ikonia> TheSov: something like php5-mod
[21:06] <TheSov> thanks
[21:06] <VSD20C> hmm i haven't looked into that yet but ill do some scavenging thanks
[21:07] <mdeslaur> TheSov: the package to install is called "libapache2-mod-php5"
[21:07] <mdeslaur> once installed, don't forget to restart apache
[21:09] <ikonia> mdeslaur: thank you
[21:09] <TheSov> ok i installing it now thanks mdel
[21:11] <TheSov> hmm still doin it
[21:12] <mdeslaur> TheSov: try a page you haven't tried before...It may be in your browser's cache
[21:13] <TheSov> no good still asks me to download the phps
[21:13] <mdeslaur> TheSov: look in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled, do you have php5.conf and php5.load in there?
[21:13] <ikonia> a2enmod
[21:14] <TheSov> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   27 2010-11-26 10:10 php5.conf -> ../mods-available/php5.conf
[21:14] <TheSov> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   27 2010-11-26 10:10 php5.load -> ../mods-available/php5.load
[21:14] <mdeslaur> TheSov: are you serving php pages from users home directories?
[21:14] <TheSov> yes
[21:14] <mdeslaur> TheSov: if so, look php5.conf
[21:14] <TheSov> public_html
[21:14] <mdeslaur> you need to enable it
[21:15] <TheSov> ahhh
[21:15] <mdeslaur> restart apache after and try again
[21:17] <TheSov> that did it
[21:17] <TheSov> thanks much sir
[21:17] <TheSov> god i never realized how much slack had setup out of the box
[21:17] <TheSov> or rather "unblocked"
