[04:09] I'm here...you have a question? [04:10] yes hi [04:10] i am having issues installing ubuntu server 10.10 [04:10] am I in the right channel ? [04:11] yes [04:11] ok [04:11] i have downloaded the latest iso file from the official site itself [04:11] made a bootable usb key out of it [04:11] booted comp on it [04:11] followed steps normally [04:11] and then at some phase, the "Select and isntall software" phase [04:11] instlaler just hangs at 5% [04:12] for no apparent reason [04:12] tried to reboot and instlal in expert mode changing a couple of settings but nothing will do [04:13] Chrystopher: There is a log file during the install that may tell you more about what is going on. [04:13] Chrystopher: I would also try ubuntu 10.04 since it is a long term support unless you need something specific on 10.10 [04:14] i actually don't really [04:14] I'll try with the older version [04:14] it's much more stable or ? [04:14] Chrystopher: 10.10 is only support for 6 months...yes 10.04 server is supported for 5 years. [04:15] ok will try and let you know [04:15] 10.10 just has newer software [04:16] but 10.04 still has the same basic packages ? [04:16] yea for sure [04:17] ok I guess I could be good with that [04:17] I actually still run a ton of 8.04 and it works fine for me. [04:17] oh one thing though [04:17] Which software would you recommend to create bootable device ? [04:18] i've been using the one proposed by ubuntu [04:18] but i've heard unet bootin is good as well [04:18] usb-creator-gtk ? [04:18] I have used that a bunch. [04:18] oh ok [04:18] problem is i must do it on a windows machine though [04:21] ah I admit I haven't done it much on windows but if you are getting to the installer you are doing it correctly. [04:26] hi guys. I have a few disks I'm about to scratch. should I continue using ext4, or should I risk btrfs?

[14:01] Hello guys. For a big files download server, what's the most important part for being able to handle big traffic? CPU? RAM? [14:02] Fidelix: extremely high bandwidth limits, CPU, RAM, hard disk space, etc. [14:03] EvilPhoenix, but what does the webserver (nginx) use the most? CPU or RAM? [14:03] I've got space and I've got bandwidth. I'm concerned about the speed though [14:05] And being able to support all requests [14:06] fast disks is also quite important [14:06] so if you have lots of downloads disk-io is critical also [14:06] gobbe, good point... [14:07] But 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. [14:09] i would say that cpu isn't so critical [14:14] Fidelix: I have a file server that has delivered about 5.5 million images today. CPU is not an issue on that box. [14:15] * zul grumbles [14:15] This is golden information. Thank you very much gobbe, andreasf [14:15] Fidelix: No problem :-) [14:15] andreasf, what web server do you use to serve these images? [14:15] * andreserl Morning!! [14:16] Fidelix: Apache, actually. [14:16] andreasf, well, that's surprising. Are you using a reverse proxy? Serving files through x-filesend ? [14:16] Fidelix: You might consider putting av caching server in front of your web server. Varnish, for instance. [14:17] andreasf, is that what you do? And does varnish help for big files? (by big, i mean, 60MB + [14:18] Fidelix: 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] Fidelix: Well, after they have been fetched from the backend. [14:19] heh, I totally don't get that [14:19] andreasf, that would be a good idea for small files i believe. But not for big files [14:19] wouldn't just putting more ram into the apache server do the same, havine more cache ram [14:19] Fidelix: Depends on how much ram you have :-) [14:19] andreasf, 32GB [14:20] Fidelix: 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] But there are a lot of big files. They would fill 32GB in a second [14:21] <[diablo]> anyone know how to rsyslog to RELP?

[15:11] SpamapS: will take more than 2h to build [15:11] doko_: do you have a branch I can just branch/bzr bd ?

[15:13] I think it takes my machine about an hour to build eglibc [15:14] SpamapS: yes [15:15] doko_: ok well if you can point me to the eglibc and upstart sources I'll start the build before I have to run an errand that will take about an hour. :) [15:17] SpamapS: see chinstrap:~doko [15:18] kirkland: nice interview....and nice props to the team ;) [15:18] http://www.talkincloud.com/ubuntu-server-and-the-cloud-notes-from-a-developer/ [15:19] robbiew: thanks, this author did a good job recapping the interview [15:19] (seems like too often an article like this gets it all wrong -- not the case here!)

[16:33] knixy: it's about time EMC wakes up :) [16:33] damn right [16:33] * RoyK uses bacula [16:33] RoyK: yeah, that's just something, but i have seen several cases where kernel taint's are coming with display or wireless drivers [16:33] hggdh: excellent; looking at the daily tests I think xango3 is suffering from its file permissions issue on the iso images [16:33] we use avamar on all our servers here, 70+, if I don't get this working, then I have to switch the server to redhat., sigh [16:34] gobbe: it should at least have told me which driver was loaded [16:34] JamesPage: the change (where the preseed stops) can be seen here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/555844/ [16:34] or _what_ tainted the kernel [16:34] RoyK: that's true [16:34] JamesPage: yes, I need to grab the current libvirt and rebuild it with the permission patch [16:34] * hggdh goes to get it done [16:35] hggdh: I had some local success on maverick using the /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf settings [16:36] JamesPage: setting 'dynamic_ownership=0' ?

[17:21] maudI use that [17:21] jiboumans, yeah, its solid. i would recommend using the pv-grub kernels. [17:21] sorry, i use webmin [17:21] just curious [17:22] smoser: nice. are you switching default aki's at some point you think? [17:22] the idea is to do that in next round.. the dailies do it now.

[17:35] but gdm is hung in all 3, so i can't log in [17:35] hallyn: I meant on tty1 [17:36] right but i can't get to tty1 [17:36] hallyn: but gdm hung is definitely interesting [17:36] well no, not gdm per se, [17:36] the whoel vnc session [17:36] so having gvncviewer send ctrl-alt-f1 does nothing either [17:36] hallyn: I see. can you disconnect the vnc and reconnect? what about sshing in? [17:37] no route to host - but i was ssh'd in when they hung [17:37] i had been disconnected from vnc, so each time i'm reconnecting [17:38] hm, [17:38] i'm out of space on the ecryptfs partition (8K to spare) [17:38] drat [17:38] ah [17:38] that could do it [17:39] I was always able to vnc, fwiw [17:39] yeah, which means i haven't reproduced your bug :( [17:40] lunchtime. will try again later. i guess with just two vms :) [17:40] heh === cmagina-lunch is now known as cmagina === _ruben_ is now known as _ruben [18:02] kirkland: done!

[18:49] sure :) [18:52] w00000t cobbler uploaded! [18:52] <\sh> cobbler is using kickstart in the background, right? [18:52] it can, but we added some preseed files :) [18:52] it will feed back whatever the template contains when the client makes a request. [18:53] <\sh> so kickstart or preseeding...which means for debian/ubuntu/redhat/opensuse mostly use the installer automation [18:55] <\sh> how does cobbler handle problems during kernel network boot with ipconfig? [18:56] \sh: it really doesn't know about them. [18:57] Hi \sh [18:57] \sh: I believe it disables auto-install once the preseed/kickstart have been requested once though. [18:58] Hope your nightly admining session went fine ;) [18:59] <\sh> SpamapS: 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) [19:00] <\sh> binBASH: see blog :) [19:00] <\sh> binBASH: yes...success :) [19:00] \sh: cobbler doesn't get in the way of the OS auto install.. it just feeds it configurations. [19:02] <\sh> SpamapS: 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] <\sh> add "easily" here ;) [19:02] \sh https://www.frackingtubes.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_preseed.cfg_installs_off_PXE_Boot is a how to I did for preseed and 10.04 [19:02] dc2? :) [19:03] <\sh> thesheff17_: what NICs? [19:03] <\sh> s/what/which/ [19:03] \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. [19:04] <\sh> SpamapS: 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] \sh: Whats so special about them that they can't use normal network semantics? [19:05] <\sh> SpamapS: 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 too [19:06] <\sh> SpamapS: replacing ipconfig with udhcpd helped here...but I wonder if it's easily done without tweaking the netboot image [19:06] \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. [19:07] \sh: and even if it is popular, I consider new hardware (meaning, created in the last 12 months) as an edge case. [19:07] <\sh> SpamapS: be2net / be2scsi are upstream, but the problem here is ipconfig (eventually not working nicely with cisco iphelper or something like that) [19:08] I think its pretty crazy that end users would ever need to tweak their netboot imags! [19:08] images even [19:09] btw, cobbler imports the whole CD onto disk.. you have the option to tweak the netboot image at that point. [19:09] But, yeah, not easily. [19:09] <\sh> SpamapS: yeah...loop mount the iso...unzip the initrd, uncpio the resulting file, and re-configure initramfs ;) [19:10] <\sh> SpamapS: it's actually easy when you know how...but I don't think that the normal user will ever netboot linux, only crazy admins ;) [19:12] oops...did i open a can of words [19:14] * patdk-wk blames the netsplit on zul [19:20] hey, i have a really slow running box [19:20] i can't even get top to come up [19:20] check swap :) [19:20] i would like to find out the culprit, any advice on juist getting the top 3 proc consuming processes?
