[00:01] Hey there. I was following the automated deployment guide, but it doesn't seem to have a list of boot parameters I can provide to Linux, on boot. [00:02] I need to do things, like set a static ip, and choose a network interface [00:02] is there a place I can look for that documentation? [00:03] sparc: ubuntu.com [00:03] sparc: is this so you can do a diskless netboot? [00:03] the (first stage?) installer isn't able to download my kickstart file, without [00:03] Danny78, my parting shot - use this template smb.conf instead http://pastebin.com/aCsxbnEA [00:03] screen-x: yes, that sounds right. although the server does have disks [00:04] i just want my kickstart to start, but it's stuck not being able to find an ip with DHCP [00:04] sparc: no DHCP server? [00:04] nope, our servers are ip'd statically [00:04] fluvvell: I checked win and now I can see buddha! now need to make it permanent. Will look at your suggested conf and see any differences [00:04] doesn't mean you can't have a DHCP server ;-) [00:05] I'll be back on in about 4 or 5 hours, then probably tomorrow. OK Thats good, try mine as well, dont forget to restart samba each time you change it. [00:06] It takes a couple of minutes to be seen on a winbox. You may also try rebooting the winbox if all else fails. [00:06] cheers [00:06] fluvvell: thanks again for your help! [00:06] np [00:18] It's funny, you can specify the ethernet interface to use with: netcfg/choose_interface=eth1 [00:19] it looks like it's following a pattern [00:19] maybe there are more netcfg/* options [00:20] sparc: er, yeah. preseeding works that way [00:21] sparc: the installation guide has an appendix that covers preseeding in detail [00:24] twb: hah! excellent, thank you [01:21] twb: aah yeah, i just saw that, this is great [01:21] it mentions i can create a preseed/run file [01:22] What of it [01:22] to run things before it fetches the preconfiguration files from the network [01:22] is that something i would put on the ftp server, or inside the initrd? [01:23] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/amd64/preseed-contents.html#preseed-network [01:23] ^-- for reference [01:23] sparc: Error: "--" is not a valid command. [01:23] uvirtbot: shush bot :) [01:23] sparc: Error: "shush" is not a valid command. [01:24] maybe that's in the guide too and i missed it [01:24] * sparc will google dilligently [01:42] sparc: you should be reading the sparc one if you're on a sparc [01:43] sparc: the document describes places you can put the preseed file; usually it's either placed on the CD, on an HTTP server, or inside the ramdisk [01:43] naah, i'im on x86_64 [01:43] luckily [01:43] sparc: very very new d-i instances can also get it from TFTP, from the same place as the PXE server. [01:43] SPARC was a good architecture, man [01:44] if only we had some sun here [01:44] we're all IBM and HP [01:44] on x86 [01:44] i'm sure the sun jumpstart is well thought-out [01:44] i'm on 10.04, so maybe i can put it on tftp [01:45] well, i'd put it on an HTTP server, if i had a network interface configured [01:45] I doubt 10.04 is new enough, but feel free to try it [01:45] sparc: typically one passes "auto" to the ramdisk, so it brings the network up before prompting [01:45] my issue, if that it's not configured by the time, it wants a kickstart file [01:46] sparc: uh, preseed and kickstart do the same job, in different ways. I don't think you can use both at once. [01:46] the docs say that we have to, don't they [01:46] very confusing [01:46] The installation-guide document is written by Debian, it probably doesn't mention kickstart at all. [01:47] they tell us to put the preseed file in the same place as the kickstart [01:47] That doesn't make ANY sense [01:47] yeah, there's a big section on kickstart in it [01:47] What are you reading [01:48] The automated deployments white paper on Ubuntu.com, and the 10.04 installation-guide [01:48] URL for the former? [01:48] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/amd64/preseed-contents.html#preseed-network # for the preconfiguring network section [01:48] and.. [01:50] http://www.canonical.com/about-canonical/resources/white-papers/automated-deployments-ubuntu [01:50] i do like the automated deployment guide [01:51] *I* can't help much with kickstart, because it's a RHism that was backported to Ubuntu/Debian [01:51] it just assumes that you're gonna use DHCP to get an ip for the server [01:51] after pxe boot [01:51] preseeding (as covered in installation-guide-amd64) is the native equivalent [01:51] that's okay, i think i have my kickstart config already amde [01:51] sparc: you can pass something like ip=... to force it to use static instead [01:51] i ported mine from redhat [01:51] twb: that would be very nice [01:51] The installation-guide also mentions somewhere the options you can pass for that stuff [01:52] apt-get install it and grep for it [01:53] it does mention boot params, but the network isn't included [01:53] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/amd64/boot-parms.html [01:53] just saying. i did try to do my homework before asking [01:53] maybe DHCP is just the only way to do it [01:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/amd64/preseed-using.html#preseed-auto ? [01:54] I *think* I've done it before [01:54] Maybe I'm thinking of live-boot/casper [01:54] You can preseed anything that debconf asks, so you might need to find the value in the d-i documentation [01:54] "This relies on there being a DHCP server that will get the machine to the point where autoserver can be resolved by DNS" [01:54] sparc: that's only for url=autoserver [01:55] hmm ok [01:56] redhat has the ip= netmask= network= gateway= [01:56] options, which are pretty nice [01:56] Do those work? [01:56] * sparc tries [01:59] Hmm, i guess this is what commerical support is for [01:59] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt shows static config as an example [01:59] e.g. #d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 192.168.1.1 [01:59] becomes netcfg/get_nameservers=192.168.1.1 [01:59] ...when passed directly by the bootloader to the kernel/ramdisk [02:00] *some* of them have shorthand, e.g. fb=false is shorthand for something [02:00] OH [02:00] so i can lift some of these from the example file [02:01] Sure [02:01] and not have to put a special preseed file, somewhere in the ramdisk or on the tftp server [02:01] Or RTFS [02:01] sparc: well, you can only pass about 32 options from the bootloader [02:01] So more than that you'll have to go elsewhere [02:01] that's okay, it shouldn't take too many to do the network [02:01] sweet, i'll give that a go, thank you twb [02:02] Anyway, how can you be PXE booting without DHCP? [02:03] does pxe support bootp? [02:04] i do have a dhcp server, but i'd rather just use it for the pxe booted clients [02:04] I don't remember [02:04] (@screen-x) [02:04] bootp doesn't support pxe [02:04] Unless you're on an untrusted network, I don't see why you're avoiding DHCP [02:04] i guess i can recognize installer dhcp clients by the "d-i" identifier? [02:04] And if you're on an untrusted network, you need to turn off ARP, too [02:04] sparc: you can, yes. [02:05] what happens if you turn of arp? You have to manually map ip addresses to mac addresses? is that in etc/ethers? [02:05] oh dear, too many questions for one line [02:05] screen-x: you distribute MAC to IP mapping out-of-band [02:06] heh, na, your manually map the router mac and ip, and that is all it needs to know :) [02:06] both ideas make sense [02:06] Or you switch to IPv6, where ARP is replaced by ICMPv6 and ICMPv6 requires IPSEC to guarantee trust [02:06] :) [02:15] anyone know of a tiny cpu monitor to add to taskbar? [02:17] Danny78: Gnome has a system monitor applet, which can show CPU usage [02:17] I changed my server name to buddha but somewhere it is still being referenced as Samba24... where could that be? [02:17] DNS? [02:17] screen-x: thanks will look for it [02:18] screen-x: how do I flush DNS? or is that not right thing to do? [02:19] Danny78: where are you seeing the old name of your server? [02:20] in GADMIN Samba, security tab-- oh, wait, nevermind [02:20] that's old data [02:21] anyone have experience access Microsoft Access database file over Samba? initially it's fine but then performance degrades by 90% [02:23] performance gets better when you uninstall office :) [02:29] Does access use sqlite3 as its backend yet? [02:32] do I remember right--- is fstab where you automount win shares? [02:32] cd /etc [02:32] sudo vim fstab [02:32] oops [02:32] Danny78: automount is a separate thing, that mounts dirs when they are accessed. [02:33] fstab lists FSs that are mounted at boot time [02:33] screen-x: so is fstab a proper way to mount windows shares at boot? [02:33] Danny78: yep [02:34] screen-x: here's my problem though. I'm not familiar with finding network devices from the command line [02:35] Danny78: ip link [02:35] Or lspci -nn | grep -i ethernet, for 802.1 devices [02:38] Danny78: fstab line should be something like //server/share /mount/point cifs options [02:38] the options are explained in man mount.cifs [02:40] twb: that's totally new to me [02:40] "ip" is a very useful command [02:43] ip(8) is the Right Thing. [02:44] How do you specify section 8 when opening a man page? [02:44] just as it's written? [02:45] Danny78: man 8 foo [02:49] brb, rebooting to test fstab [02:57] How tightly intertwingled are postfix and dovecot? [02:58] I have a policy of running each service in its own LXC container, but I'm not sure there's much point separating postfix and dovecot. [02:58] twb: they're pretty well integrated, but totally separate packages... postfix doesn't care if dovecot is there or not, dovecot mostly just wants an MTA under it [02:58] lamont: I mean, will they be significantly less happy if dovecot's running on one host, and postfix is running on another? [02:58] (With, I guess, a shared /var/mail) [02:59] the LDA part of dovecot probably wants to run in the postfix container, the IMAP beast could be separated into its own container - both need access to the mailboxes, of coures [02:59] postfix is going to invoke dovecot as the local delivery agent, or dovecot is going to need its own MTA under it. [03:00] Hmm, that's a good point -- local delivery won't be supported on my satellites (msmtp-mta), only on the gateway/smarthost (postfix). [03:00] that is, another MTA instance, regardless of which MTA it is [03:01] OK, so I should be able to put dovecot-imapd in one container, and postfix + in the other container? [03:01] twb, I think Danny78 was meaning finding other network servers (win shares) from the command line, as opposed to finding network devices (which is what he asked). [03:01] twb: I suspect so. to be fair, I haven't really played with dovecot much yet. Gonna have to fix that now that I have more mobility [03:02] fluvvell: oh [03:02] lamont: okey dokey [03:02] twb: I would be interested in your findings [03:03] I'll try to remember to tell you :-) === sourcode_ is now known as sourcode [03:37] lamont: incidentally, do you have an opinion on where mailman should run (i.e. which container)? [03:39] so what is syslogf [03:39] mailman will either want to drop things in postdrop, or talk to port 25 [03:39] syslog* [03:39] how does it differ from logging on a centos box? [03:40] lamont: eh, 25 will be open on the smarthost on the LAN side, so a separate container sounds OK. [03:40] EvilSushi: from a user perspective, basic rsyslogd is identical to sysv syslogd [03:51] New bug: #701340 in bacula (main) "package bacula-director-mysql 5.0.1-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade:" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/701340 [04:02] My RAID1 Ubuntu 10.04 worked fine until last night when i came to check it and it booted into initramfs console or busybox. Any ideas how i can make it boot again? Re-powering is no help, and taking one disk or the other off is no help either. Before it goes into initramfs it shows 'Could find dev/uuidxxxxx' or something along those lines. [04:04] overrider, what kind of raid1? 3ware? software? .... [04:10] patdk-lap: no just software raid using mdadm, setup during the ubuntu install process [04:11] hmm, dunno then :( [04:11] :-) [04:11] my friend just had the same issue, but that is cause it refused to load the 3ware driver, very strange, but doing a modprobe 3w-9xxx fixed him up [04:11] bah... [04:12] its weird - this machine has been running great for a long time. Not sure whether maybe there was a power loss in some inconvinient moment or something that screwed it up... [04:30] Is is possible to have a "mount during boot, but dont wait 10 minutes, and if it fails, no biggie" option in fstab? I have a server that upon reboot needs to mount an cfis filesystem that may or may not be there.. Its no biggie if it cant mount it during boot, I can manually mount it after.. if its not there, the server hangs for 10 minutes, and and after that stops because it cant mount... How can I fix this? [04:35] sven_oostenbrink: in Ubuntu? I don't think so. [04:35] Other than a hack in e.g. rc.local [04:36] Oh, a network filesystem -- you could try -osoft [04:37] twb: is it possible to interrupt the mount? Im waiting on the @*#($@* server now, its waiting for nothing, its not there... [04:37] Unfortunately, no [04:37] Back before upstart, you could interrupt arbitrary init jobs, but even Debian has removed that feature now :-/// [04:38] twb: why... ? and more, why is mount waiting a friggin 10 minutes for the mount? After 10 seconds it can be damned sure that there is nothing there.. the rest of the timeout is just to mess with people or what? [04:38] Because you can't support ^C with parallelized jobs [04:39] It will probably boot fastter if you ctrl+alt+del, then *unplug the network cable* for the next boot [04:39] IME remote mounts will time out quickly if they know there's no network at all. [04:40] twb: well, after the timeout I tried ifconfig, and I had no network.. if I have no network, and its still hangs on the timeout.. I guess unplugging the network won't make much of a difference, will it? [04:40] I guess so === sven_oostenbrink is now known as Phoenixz [04:50] Phoenixz, heh, I want that option for nfs, I can't find it at all either :( [04:50] but it doesn't hang for 10min for me, it hangs forever === mbvpixies78 is now known as Danny78 [05:57] Ubuntu server is still unable to mount windows shares on bootup. here is my fstab: http://paste.debian.net/104272 and here is my smb.conf: http://paste.debian.net/104273 [06:05] Danny78: maybe mountall doesn't realize they need to be mounted AFTER the network is up [06:06] Danny78: /mnt is not the appropriate place for permanent mounts [06:06] Danny78: your probably want /srv [06:06] Danny78: also, does root have access to your .smbcredentials file? Are you using ecryptfs for ~danny? [06:08] twb: yes, using encryptfs... computer memory full, any way to increase sqwap... really slow right now [06:08] Danny78: well, that's why [06:08] Danny78: root can't read your smbcredentials until you log in and provide a decrypted mount on ~danny [06:10] Danny78: you can allocate more swap using a swapfile, although it would be better to isolate and kill off the broken proces [06:10] *process [06:12] if you want to mount windows-shares on boot you need to add credentials to fstab [06:12] to work perfectly [06:13] Or some file like /etc/cifs.secrets, I guess [06:14] that's other option [06:16] Since fstab is usually world-readable [06:17] processor is ldle but everything is super slow [06:36] I had to do a hard reset, I missed what you said, if you could please repeat [06:40] my ubuntu server is hanging during boot.. I see fsck checks that are ok, then nothing.. I had some network mounts, which were hanging (after some 1o mins I would have a cifs filesys mount failure, drop to shell), so I removed them from fstab (I commented them), but after a reboot, its still hanging.. What could be causing this? I have no shell, no log data, nothing.. :( [06:51] Hi [06:52] I am running ipsec on Ubuntu server 8.04 [06:52] I want to enable debug logging [06:52] Please suggest/guide [07:00] how can I upgrade to lucid from hardy ? do-release-upgrade only offers maverick even with prompt=tls in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [07:15] my ubuntu server is hanging during boot.. I see fsck checks that are ok, then nothing.. I had some network mounts, which were hanging (after some 1o mins I would have a cifs filesys mount failure, drop to shell), so I removed them from fstab (I commented them), but after a reboot, its still hanging.. What could be causing this? I have no shell, no log data, nothing.. :( [08:06] Hi i want to learn ubuntu clod can do one vm use 2 physical computer hardware ? [08:07] Ha! "clod" [08:07] twb: pardon clod = cloud [08:08] talat: offhand, I suspect you'll run into problems because the cloud also wants to use virtualization [08:17] Oh, theres only a 1/3rd as many people in here as #ubuntu. You're all probably 3x smarter too ... [08:17] Hypoglybetic: I daresay you are working to ameliorate that difference. [08:18] maybe [08:19] I have a couple questions about ub-server and would like to be pointed in the right direction. [08:20] !ask > Hypoglybetic [08:20] Hypoglybetic, please see my private message [08:23] I'm very new to Linux. I want to setup a basic web server and a media server for my house as well as host virtual machines. I need a little help installing the correct packages. I'm sitting at the Server install menu (dns, lamp, mail, openSSH, etc). [08:24] twb: i try creat a cluster but i want to my vm can use more than one computer. I need 64 core but my computers 24 core. in cloud can be do ? [08:24] "media center" as in somewhere to dump videos, or "media center" as in a box hooked up to your TV, playing videos? [08:24] My question is could someone help me get the basics setup because I don't want to corrupt my files (repository?) again. [08:24] talat: I don't understand the question. [08:25] twb, Dump/host files, use PS3/Laptop/Windows 7 to watch the movies [08:25] talat: obviously you cannot make a 24-core CPU into a 64-core CPU. [08:25] Hypoglybetic: in that case you can probably just pick "file server" at that prompt [08:26] twb: i have 4 24-core CPU computer. I want to use this computer for my 64 core vm. Do you understand ? [08:26] Hypoglybetic: the keyword you want to google for is "samba"; it's the open source implementation of Windows-style file sharing. [08:26] talat: nope [08:26] talat: what is your native language? [08:26] twb: Turkish [08:27] twb: one minute [08:27] !tr [08:27] twb, do Iwant to select LAMP server as well? (currently openSSH, Samba File, and Virtual Machine Host are selected) [08:27] Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [08:27] talat: you can also ask them, they might understand better than me [08:27] Hypoglybetic: you do not need "LAMP" [08:27] Hypoglybetic: "LAMP" means "web server" [08:28] twb But I do want a web server, do you suggest XAMPP? I used XAMPP on my windows machine. [08:29] Hypoglybetic: I do not know what XAMPP is. [08:29] Looks like a bag of random apache/mysql/php/perl for Windows. [08:30] twb, yes, similar to what LAMP is (i'm trying to google things on my own, but I'm still paranoid of messing/misreading something) [08:30] Hypoglybetic: don't expose it to the internet, and you'll be OK [08:31] twb, wait, what? how do I make it work if it isn't on th internet to download/install things? [08:33] Hypoglybetic: it is possible to set up a firewall such that you the internet is allowed to respond to your requests, but not INITIATE connections to your host. [08:33] Indeed, this is the normal way a "hard shell, gooey insides" corporate firewall works. [08:33] Obviously it means no one will be able to access your website, but if you don't know what you're doing, this is a GOOD THING. [08:33] Jordan_U, are you awake? [08:34] twb: ok last question. if you dont understand this can i ask turkish user. i Will create a virtual machine which can be use multi server hardware on my cloud. I dont want onlt run on one server. this can be possible ? [08:35] I think I understand talat. He wants to do something like ESXi does. You have multiple machines and you "pool" their resources so if one machine fails none of the actual guest OS's fail. [08:35] talat: cloud allows you to run the same OS image on multiple hosts. So you can have two hosts doing half of the work each. [08:35] talat: cloud IS NOT like plan9, where you can directly pool resources to make a single "super computer" [08:36] Note that I am not a cloud expert -- I don't even use it. [08:36] twb: ok thank you for help [08:36] talat do you know of VMware ESXi ? [08:37] Hypoglybetic: i dont know [08:37] talat, look into it -- I think you may find it useful [08:37] talat: sorry I could not help -- your English is better than my Turkish :-) [08:38] Every time my ubuntu (server) reboots, it hangs after fsck of all filesystems.. a check in /var/log/messages shows JBD: barrier-based sync failed on dm-6:8 - disabling barriers.. Anyone knows how I can fix this and get my server to boot normally again? Google shows this message not to be important, but on every freeze, this is the last message seen.. each freeze has alt-sysreq-* intact, so its not a panic, or complete freeze.. any ideas? [08:38] twb: :) [08:40] sven_oostenbrink: you'll need a live cd, first of all [08:40] sven_oostenbrink: what's happening is that mountall(8) gets an exit status of 4 from fsck(8), so it just stops [08:41] sven_oostenbrink: you need to do... SOMETHING... from the live cd, so that fsck doesn't fail. [08:41] (and yes, I hate this feature.) [08:43] twb: mount -a seems to mount all okay [08:44] mountall isn't mount -a [08:44] It's a stupid upstart thing [08:44] twb: a server not starting is a feature? [08:44] sven_oostenbrink: in the sense that developers always claim bugs are "features" [08:44] IMO it should *at least* shut down, not just hang [08:45] twb: I tried to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04, see if that would fix it.. upgrade all okay, minus kernel.. (ahw crap..) linux-server debends on linux-image-server (....); however: package linux-image-server is not configured yet.. Any ideas on how to fix this one? [08:46] twb: IMHO it should just fail to a shell with an error message so I actually would have a chance to fix things..... [08:46] can you pastebin the full transcript ? [08:46] sven_oostenbrink: yeah, that'd be favourite. [08:47] twb: http:.//pastebin.com/2h0vTitv [08:47] twb: sorry, http://pastebin.com/2h0vTitv [08:48] twb: wait.. thats not right [08:50] twb: how can I route output and error to a file again? [08:50] twb: 2>&1 ? [08:50] good morning. for a box running ubuntu-server running webmin+apache+mysqld+vncserver+vmware(all vms turned off) isn't the load avg 0.09, 1.39, 2.82 too high ? [08:51] script -c 'foo bar' [08:51] pastebinit typescript [08:51] twb: http://pastebin.com/Zz3w3d0X [08:51] with top -d 1 i only see init using resources, the rest is 0 [08:52] gis [08:52] biston: first number is avg of last minute, last is avg 15 mins, so the current load is practically 0 [08:52] sven_oostenbrink: try again after "export TERM=vt100 LC_ALL=C" [08:52] oh, alright, thank you sven_oostenbrink [08:53] biston: you understand that load averages are AVERAGES over time? [08:53] biston: i.e. your ten-minute average was 2.82; but now it's just 0.09 [08:53] i do now [08:53] biston: i.e. whatever you did in the last ten minutes, stopped the load [08:53] it was a virtual machine, got my load avg up to 9 [08:54] Shrug [08:54] biston: also, system load is over all processors.. you could more or less say that a dual core with load 2.00 has both processors working at 100% [08:54] If it's a bloat-tacular VM, not surprising [08:54] sven_oostenbrink: good point [08:55] twb: did the export, now no error, but seems to hang on Setting up console-setup (1.34ubuntu15) [08:55] twb: its there for over a minute now.... [08:55] biston: howmany cpus? [08:55] cpus and/or cores [08:55] sven_oostenbrink: oh christ, that one [08:55] biston: what twb says [08:55] sven_oostenbrink: I forget how to stop that [08:55] twb: uh oh.. bad? [08:55] sven_oostenbrink: it drove us insane [08:56] checking, i forgot which machine this one is [08:56] 2 cores, 1 cpu [08:56] twb: its driving me insane.... [08:56] a core 2 du e8400, 3.00 ghz [08:56] twb: if you remeber an ything... please please pretty please.. [08:56] sven_oostenbrink: echo ACTIVE_TERMINALS= >>/etc/default/console-setup ## Try that [08:56] Sorry, ACTIVE_CONSOLES [08:56] biston: load of 9 on a dualcore would say... 450% system load [08:56] it's a shot in the dark [08:57] twb: CTRL-C the current install? [08:57] Whatever [08:57] IIRC it fucks up the entire system when you hit that console-setup issue [08:57] What it's trying to do is mess with the VGA font and such [08:57] fucks up as in hangs it, not as in wipes the disks or whatever [08:58] twb: eh, so echo ACTIVE_CONSOLES= >> /etc/default/console-setup ... any spaces anywhere?\ [08:58] No [08:58] sven_oostenbrink: hopefully that tells console-setup not to run [08:59] sven_oostenbrink: it might be easier to just blow away the system and do a clean install [08:59] twb: it says /etc/default/console-setup: 50: ACTIVE-CONSOLES=: not found [09:00] sven_oostenbrink: no, ACTIVE_CONSOLES [09:00] sven_oostenbrink: edit the file and remove the bad line; it's a _ not a - [09:00] twb: yeah, got that [09:00] twb: still hanging [09:01] I give up [09:04] twb: :( Anyone else who might know? Google isnt of much help here [09:06] Shrug [09:06] 19:59 sven_oostenbrink: it might be easier to just blow away the system and do a clean install [09:07] can anyone recommend a vm host app other than vmware to run on ubuntu server 10.4 ? [09:08] biston: Ubuntu recommends KVM. [09:08] alrite, i'll try kvm and see if i still get same loads. thank you [09:09] XEN uses paravirtualization which brings in a whole load of other crap.. last time I tried it it managed to corrupt all filesystems on my machine.. [09:10] twb: Im so close to finishing this, cant give up now! ... you have no recollection of what you did when you had this? [09:11] sven_oostenbrink: got drunk IIRC [09:12] thank you both so much for your help, i'll be off now. good luck with ur problem twb [09:20] twb: can I not remove console-setup? [09:21] sven_oostenbrink: I'm not stopping you [09:22] twb: That doesnt sound very encouraging... [09:24] twb: http://pastebin.com/baKjxU8V [09:24] sven_oostenbrink: ICBF helping further, sorry [09:24] twb: removed console-setup, I can now proceed with kernel, but now I have this [09:24] ICBF? [09:24] who's that? [09:25] I Can't Be Fucked [09:25] right :) [09:25] anyone else? [09:35] twb: well, just said fuckit, reboot... lets see howfar it gets [11:08] hallo [11:08] someone online? [11:11] How do I install ubuntu 10.04 server using a PXE server? [11:11] The online guides speak netboot installation via the package "netboot", but which distribution is installed? General or server? [11:24] ilrovato: 1) get a PXE server; 2) put the netboot kernel and ramdisk on it; 3) pxeboot. [11:24] Ubuntu only has one distribution. [11:25] If you have an existing Ubuntu server, you might try installing di-netboot-assistant, which will hold your hand for much of the process. [11:26] mine pxe server is a debian squeeze [11:27] Well, di-netboot-assistant works there, too [11:27] i will wach di-netboot-assistant [11:28] any idea if i can restrict a local user on a specific channel with ircd hybrid? [11:59] xampart: I don't know; you might have better luck asking #oftc or #freenode (whichever one runs hybrid; I forget) [11:59] Note that, as a rule, ircd won't be able to tell which users are local. So you'd probably have to "default deny" all accounts, then allow a whitelist of registered users to connect to other channels [12:11] twb: k [12:12] <\sh> maswan: I fixed my problem with the FlexFabric nics (be2net) , replaced ipconfig with udhcpc inside initramfs and it works like a charm [12:25] Ugh [12:26] syslog-summary (which logcheck suggested), has an env trampoline [12:26] WORSE, it trampolines to an obsolete version of python, that's not installed! === JanC_ is now known as JanC [13:08] hello [13:08] there [13:08] i got server with 6 disk one of the disk is failure, physically there is no physicall apperence, what the command on ubuntu show the disk in failure ? [13:11] one of your hard drives is failing? [13:11] or has it failed? [13:12] next is it in some kind of raid? lvm? ..., hardware or software raid? [13:12] failed [13:12] soft raid [13:12] cat /proc/mdstat [13:13] assuming it's software raid [13:13] what should display ? [13:14] something like this "md127 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1]" [13:14] smartctl can show you if the other drives are healthy [13:15] it gives raid1 raid0 raid6 [13:15]
