twbStrangeCharm: that's because you're using screen01:08
StrangeCharmtwb, interesting. can you tell me more?01:14
twbSorry, I'm busy just now01:18
twbhttp://code.haskell.org/~twb/Preferences/.bin/twb-agents01:18
twbHmm, not much documentation there01:18
twbhttp://code.haskell.org/~twb/Preferences/.bin/.bash_profile shows how I create it01:19
StrangeCharmtwb, bottom line: i shouldn't have trouble if i just start a non-screen session?01:19
StrangeCharmalso, your bash profile is a 404001:20
twbSorry,01:21
twbhttp://code.haskell.org/~twb/Preferences/..bash_profile shows how I create it01:21
twbARGH01:21
twbhttp://code.haskell.org/~twb/Preferences/.bash_profile01:21
twbre short answer -- yes01:21
twbThe problem is that your screen session outlives your agent session, so screen still points to the one that existed LAST time you logged in01:21
twbYou need to either update environment variables (nontrivial), or start ssh-agent by hand01:22
twbThe gentoo keychain docs might explain more01:22
StrangeCharmso your bash-profile has a trick in it for keeping screen pointed at the right agent?01:26

kieppiehi guys. I'm trying to help someone with a windows network, who's experiencing periodic lock-up. they might be working, or simply open large files over the local LAN & their system would simply lock up (they describe it as "going off to la-la-land"). I've rebuild their Ubuntu server, running *only* SSH, Samba & Webmin, and *nothing* else. load it pretty good, so now I'm trying to find other possible causes or remedies (I've set 03:09

Chrystopherhi guys03:57
Chrystopheranybody here ?03:57
thesheff17I'm here...you have a question?04:09
Chrystopheryes hi04:10
Chrystopheri am having issues installing ubuntu server 10.1004:10
Chrystopheram I in the right channel ?04:10
thesheff17yes04:11
Chrystopherok04:11
Chrystopheri have downloaded the latest iso file from the official site itself04:11
Chrystophermade a bootable usb key out of it04:11
Chrystopherbooted comp on it04:11
Chrystopherfollowed steps normally04:11
Chrystopherand then at some phase, the "Select and isntall software" phase04:11
Chrystopherinstlaler just hangs at 5%04:11
Chrystopherfor no apparent reason04:12
Chrystophertried to reboot and instlal in expert mode changing a couple of settings but nothing will do04:12
thesheff17Chrystopher: There is a log file during the install that may tell you more about what is going on.04:13
thesheff17Chrystopher: I would also try ubuntu 10.04 since it is a long term support unless  you need something specific on 10.1004:13
Chrystopheri actually don't really04:14
ChrystopherI'll try with the older version04:14
Chrystopherit's much more stable or ?04:14
thesheff17Chrystopher: 10.10 is only support for 6 months...yes 10.04 server is supported for 5 years.04:14
Chrystopherok will try and let you know04:15
thesheff1710.10 just has newer software04:15
Chrystopherbut 10.04 still has the same basic packages ?04:16
thesheff17yea for sure04:16
Chrystopherok I guess I could be good with that04:17
thesheff17I actually still run a ton of 8.04 and it works fine for me.04:17
Chrystopheroh one thing though04:17
ChrystopherWhich software would you recommend to create bootable device ?04:17
Chrystopheri've been using the one proposed by ubuntu04:18
Chrystopherbut i've heard unet bootin is good as well04:18
thesheff17usb-creator-gtk ?04:18
thesheff17I have used that a bunch.04:18
Chrystopheroh ok04:18
Chrystopherproblem is i must do it on a windows machine though04:18
thesheff17ah I admit I haven't done it much on windows but if you are getting to the installer you are doing it correctly.04:21
kieppiehi guys. I have a few disks I'm about to scratch. should I continue using ext4, or should I risk btrfs?04:26
thesheff17Chrystopher: sorry I was having tons of problems with my wireless...the last thing I typed was usb-creator-gtk04:31
Chrystopherhm nope04:32
Chrystopherthe last thing you typed04:32
Chrystopherconcerned your lack of experience with windows04:32
Chrystopherlack is a bit strong but.. anyway you get me04:32
Chrystopherstill donwloading04:33
thesheff17yea if you are getting to the installer it sounds like the install is going fine....try the 10.04 version and see what happens...if it hangs again I would start checking logs.04:36

doko_SpamapS: did you test the eglibc/upstart fix for maverick and lucid too?13:58
FidelixHello guys. For a big files download server, what's the most important part for being able to handle big traffic? CPU? RAM?14:01
EvilPhoenixFidelix:  extremely high bandwidth limits, CPU, RAM, hard disk space, etc.14:02
FidelixEvilPhoenix, but what does the webserver (nginx) use the most? CPU or RAM?14:03
FidelixI've got space and I've got bandwidth. I'm concerned about the speed though14:03
FidelixAnd being able to support all requests14:05
gobbefast disks is also quite important14:06
gobbeso if you have lots of downloads disk-io is critical also14:06
Fidelixgobbe, good point...14:06
FidelixBut what I'm really concerned is if CPU is critical for this. I've got a relatively cheap server, and all its specs are good, except for the CPU.14:07
gobbei would say that cpu isn't so critical14:09
andreasfFidelix: I have a file server that has delivered about 5.5 million images today. CPU is not an issue on that box.14:14
* zul grumbles14:15
FidelixThis is golden information. Thank you very much gobbe, andreasf14:15
andreasfFidelix: No problem :-)14:15
Fidelixandreasf, what web server do you use to serve these images?14:15
* andreserl Morning!!14:15
andreasfFidelix: Apache, actually.14:16
Fidelixandreasf, well, that's surprising. Are you using a reverse proxy? Serving files through x-filesend ?14:16
andreasfFidelix: You might consider putting av caching server in front of your web server. Varnish, for instance.14:16
Fidelixandreasf, is that what you do? And does varnish help for big files? (by big, i mean, 60MB +14:17
andreasfFidelix: This particular server does not use a reverse proxy / cache, just Apache. If you use a Varnish server, images will be delivered from RAM, not disk.14:18
andreasfFidelix: Well, after they have been fetched from the backend.14:18
patdk-wkheh, I totally don't get that14:19
Fidelixandreasf, that would be a good idea for small files i believe. But not for big files14:19
patdk-wkwouldn't just putting more ram into the apache server do the same, havine more cache ram14:19
andreasfFidelix: Depends on how much ram you have :-)14:19
Fidelixandreasf, 32GB14:19
andreasfFidelix: You can configure Apache or Varnish to keep objects (images) in the cache for a specified amount of time, for instance 10 seconds or 10 hours.14:20
FidelixBut there are  a lot of big files. They would fill 32GB in a second14:20
[diablo]anyone know how to rsyslog to RELP? TCP and UDP are @ and @@ ... find no info on what clients use for RELP14:21
andreasfFidelix: Have a look here: http://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/2.1/14:23

knixyhello16:21
knixyI am trying to install avamar agento on my ubuntu server.  It is asking for libcap1 which I cannot find in apt-get.  Any thoughts?16:22
knixysays libcap1 is not available.  Package libcap1 has no installation candidate?16:26
RoyKhi all. I have an ubuntu server that seems to be in trouble - it restarted twice today without anything useful in the logs except two lines that I don't understand http://pastebin.com/yALsFcYE16:27
gobbeknixy: libcap2 - support for getting/setting POSIX.1e capabilities16:28
RoyKknixy: iirc libcap2 is the one used on ubuntu16:28
gobbeknixy: libcap1 is quite old16:28
knixyok, let me try again16:28
RoyKknixy: if avamar needs libcap1, I guess finding a pre-built lib somewhere is the way to go16:29
* SpamapS returns16:29
SpamapShmm.. eglibc still building16:29
* RoyK flees16:29
* SpamapS pursues16:30
gobbeRoyK: are you running proprietary display drivers?-)16:30
hggdhJamesPage: it seems d-i changed again16:30
knixythis is what I get when I try to install the avamar deb16:30
RoyKgobbe: just 10.04 server - no fancy stuff except for those two 8-core CPUs and 64gigs of memory16:30
JamesPagehggdh: whats the impact?16:30
knixyhttp://pastebin.com/wFtuRGw616:30
hggdhJamesPage: all tests failed; running one local I see d-i stopping and asking about what type of partition I want (Sun, msdos, AIX, etc)16:31
gobbeRoyK: ok, kernel taint happens usually with weird drivers :)16:31
gobbeRoyK: have you run memory checks?16:31
RoyKknixy: unless there's a lot of data or specific services, I would recommend using nfs for this one16:32
hggdhJamesPage: it seems my saving of d-i log is now functional (see http://204.236.234.12/job/AKT-DBench/25/artifact/25/test-results/)16:32
RoyKgobbe: not yet - I'm not at the office - but I just can't beleive I get those taint messages now - nothing's changed16:32
knixyRoyK, ok.  Debian is supported for avamar, but ubuntu is not, which makes me sad :p16:32
RoyKgobbe: it's basically a compute node...16:32
RoyKknixy: it's about time EMC wakes up :)16:33
knixydamn right16:33
* RoyK uses bacula16:33
gobbeRoyK: yeah, that's just something, but i have seen several cases where kernel taint's are coming with display or wireless drivers16:33
JamesPagehggdh: excellent; looking at the daily tests I think xango3 is suffering from its file permissions issue on the iso images16:33
knixywe use avamar on all our servers here, 70+, if I don't get this working, then I have to switch the server to redhat., sigh16:33
RoyKgobbe: it should at least have told me which driver was loaded16:34
hggdhJamesPage: the change (where the preseed stops) can be seen here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/555844/16:34
RoyKor _what_ tainted the kernel16:34
gobbeRoyK: that's true16:34
hggdhJamesPage: yes, I need to grab the current libvirt and rebuild it with the permission patch16:34
* hggdh goes to get it done16:34

zuljdstrand: thanks for accepting cobbler18:46
RoAkSoAx\o/ cobbler!!18:47
jdstrandsure :)18:49
SpamapSw00000t cobbler uploaded!18:52
\shcobbler is using kickstart in the background, right?18:52
SpamapSit can, but we added some preseed files :)18:52
SpamapSit will feed back whatever the template contains when the client makes a request.18:52
\shso kickstart or preseeding...which means for debian/ubuntu/redhat/opensuse mostly use the installer automation18:53
\shhow does cobbler handle problems during kernel network boot with ipconfig?18:55
SpamapS\sh: it really doesn't know about them.18:56
binBASHHi \sh18:57
SpamapS\sh: I believe it disables auto-install once the preseed/kickstart have been requested once though.18:57
binBASHHope your nightly admining session went fine ;)18:58
\shSpamapS: the problem is not the installation, but the "how do I get my packages without having ip connectivity" which comes first .. mostly when you are telling the kernel to dhcp on your dhcp /pxe enabled interfaces...just asking, because most of the problems with automating linux installs is during kernel boottime (means jumping into initramfs + doing ipconfig dhcp magic)18:59
\shbinBASH: see blog :)19:00
\shbinBASH: yes...success :)19:00
SpamapS\sh: cobbler doesn't get in the way of the OS auto install.. it just feeds it configurations.19:00
\shSpamapS: ok..so you can't overcome the problems without tweaking your underlaying OS (which means, replace some boot initrds of your installation media, e..g which is inside the netboot image of debian/ubuntu)19:02
\shadd "easily" here ;)19:02
thesheff17_\sh https://www.frackingtubes.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_preseed.cfg_installs_off_PXE_Boot is a how to I did for preseed and 10.0419:02
binBASHdc2? :)19:02
\shthesheff17_: what NICs?19:03
\shs/what/which/19:03
SpamapS\sh: baby steps. We just added a provisioning system which allows large scale orchestration of network installations, and works for the common case. It sounds to me like you're talking about edge cases.19:03
\shSpamapS: I wonder if Flex10 Fabrics are edge cases...ask HP how many G7 blade servers they were selling in 2010 and are selling in 2011  ;)19:04
SpamapS\sh: Whats so special about them that they can't use normal network semantics?19:04
\shSpamapS: they can...but ipconfig doesn't work with them properly, whysoever...I had a lot of problems..and checking google, many users of those NICs do have problems too19:05
\shSpamapS: replacing ipconfig with udhcpd helped here...but I wonder if it's easily done without tweaking the netboot image19:06
SpamapS\sh: if its not in the upstream kernel yet.. its highly likely either a) companies like Canonical and/or RedHat have to be paid to integrate these things, or b) its not going to happen.19:06
SpamapS\sh: and even if it is popular, I consider new hardware (meaning, created in the last 12 months) as an edge case.19:07
\shSpamapS: be2net / be2scsi are upstream, but the problem here is ipconfig (eventually not working nicely with cisco iphelper or something like that)19:07
SpamapSI think its pretty crazy that end users would ever need to tweak their netboot imags!19:08
SpamapSimages even19:08
SpamapSbtw, cobbler imports the whole CD onto disk.. you have the option to tweak the netboot image at that point.19:09
SpamapSBut, yeah, not easily.19:09
\shSpamapS: yeah...loop mount the iso...unzip the initrd, uncpio the resulting file, and re-configure initramfs ;)19:09
\shSpamapS: it's actually easy when you know how...but I don't think that the normal user will ever netboot linux, only crazy admins ;)19:10

patdk-wkwhy I like to watch it with vmstat19:23
RoyKslicslak: for some systems, setting vm.swappiness = 100 can be very good19:23
slicslakright, so use vmstat and watch the io col19:23
RoyKif some applications allocate a bunch of memory not used much, swap is good19:23
patdk-wkwell, for swap, si so19:23
RoyKslicslak: I'd recommend sysstat/sar19:24
patdk-wkfor disk usage, bi bo19:24

juvenyeaa23:20
juveni couldnt get anything only information they have is to download xen server23:20
geekbrijuven: what exactly are you trying to do, are you using amazon EC2? im a bit confused but it seems like you want to install a VM server into a cloud server... which seems a bit unnecessary since if youre using ec2 you can just spin up new cloud servers cheaply23:22
juvenok i am actually in the learning phase so i bought a server and installed ubuntu 10.10 cloud23:23

juvenbc the place i am working for they are moving to cloud23:24
juvenso trying to learn23:24
geekbrijuven: install ubuntu 10.04 onto that server, sign up for an amazon AWS account and get an EC2 account if you want to learn how to install things onto a cloud server.23:25
RoyKjuven: I don't know any certification programs for ubuntu yet, but I'm sure you'll find some if you check canonical's pages23:25
zuldoko: right ill get to it tonight23:25
juvenno i meant general certification like linux+ but b4 that i want to learn about cloud with linux23:26
geekbrijuven: you are all sorts of confused my friend.  just install ubuntu 10.04 LTS onto that physical server ou bought and worry about EC2 after you figure out how to do that23:27
geekbriam i being trolled?23:27
juveni know about vm already but just one quick question so from the cloud server how do i install like regular server23:28
geekbrijuven: that depends on what cloud service you are using. If you are using ec2 you can use google.com and find plenty of articles on how to spin up an ubuntu EC2 instance of your own.23:28
