| nimrod10 | hypetech, try sending a file over ssh to see if there is indeed low latency | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| hypetech | nimrod10: uploading steady at ~220k | 00:02 |
| nimrod10 | that sounds like you shouldn't experience any latency while typing over ssh | 00:04 |
| hypetech | nimrod10: I know :p that's why I was asking for any resolutions that don't involve latency :( | 00:05 |
| SpaceBass | nimrod10, 10.10 | 00:07 |
| SpaceBass | hope appears to be lost :/ .... reinstalling the base system and will restore (hopefully ) from backup | 00:08 |
| nimrod10 | SpaceBass, I really don't like this unreliability in ubuntu; when a new version is out you normally think it is fine to upgrade and then "sometimes" it brakes. | 00:09 |
| nimrod10 | I bet you won't upgrade next time | 00:09 |
| compdoc | its probably hard for the installer to account for all the changes a user makes to his system, and some changes may well break it | 00:11 |
| SpaceBass | nimrod10, on the contrary... I never learn my lesson | 00:11 |
| nimrod10 | :) | 00:13 |
| nimrod10 | what you need is a test environment. You can try updates there. That is not a 100% guarantee, but it is better then trying on the server first | 00:14 |
| hypetech | is the procedure for disabling ipv6 the same in natty as it was in 10.10? | 00:17 |
| alamar | .o(why would one do that..) | 00:17 |
| SpamapS | alamar: there are some very broken DNS servers for AAAA records.. I've had trouble before where I had to disable IPv6 in order to contact certain sites. | 00:23 |
| SpamapS | I remember autotrader.com used to respond to AAAA record requests with a CNAME that didn't exist... | 00:24 |
| hypetech | yea ipv6 dns can slow down the network atm, plus I might as well lower surface area for attacks since there isn't much ipv6 security going on | 00:25 |
| hypetech | even though we aren't being routed yet | 00:25 |
| SpamapS | ahh looks like images.autotrader.com is still confused | 00:25 |
| SpamapS | hah.. wow.. the mirrors are completely clogged | 00:26 |
| SpamapS | normally 6-9 Mbit .. getting 128kbit | 00:26 |
| hypetech | lol | 00:27 |
| strigoi66 | So I have a problem: I have a lucid server setup and serving html, I also am serving videos. The problem (can play videos in linux, but not windows.) The error is (missing plugin) I have searched all over, but could not find a plugin to play the videos in windows. Please point me in the right direction. I am a newb to servers and plugins! | 00:31 |
| alamar | SpamapS: this should only be an issue if you indeed have ipv6 connectivity | 00:31 |

| SinnerNyx | Hello. I have a silly question. I have tried to do this on my own and I have done it before, but I don't remember how I accomplished it. | 01:46 |
| SinnerNyx | I've just upgraded to Ubuntu Server 11.04. I had a custom MOTD | 01:47 |
| SinnerNyx | but that got wiped in the upgrade. So now I want to set the MOTD. Whenever I change /etc/motd or /var/.../motd it gets reset | 01:47 |
| SinnerNyx | I dont want to use a third party app to just change it once. so where am I supposed to do it? | 01:48 |

| arrrghhh | how can i 'cherry-pick' packages to be installed? | 03:43 |
| arrrghhh | i tried --no-install-recommends | 03:46 |
| arrrghhh | didn't work | 03:46 |
| qman__ | if you're not installing recommends, you're only installing dependencies | 03:49 |
| qman__ | so if you're trying to choose an alternate package for a dependency, just install that package first | 03:49 |
| arrrghhh | well i don't want the other packages to install | 03:53 |
| arrrghhh | i manually compiled them | 03:53 |
| arrrghhh | and i don't want repo version's overwriting them... | 03:54 |
| qman__ | well, you should have compiled them into packages so they'd satisfy the dependency | 04:06 |
| qman__ | it's either that, or now you'll have to compile everything that depends on them manually | 04:06 |
| qman__ | third option is compiling the software such that it can coexist with the packaged version, and you just link to your version instead of the package | 04:11 |
| qman__ | but that only works with certain types of packages | 04:12 |

| twister004 | hi guys... I have an ubuntu 8.04 server..... Im trying to identify if my sqldump backups are completing successfully on this server... these are backups of some sql databases.... how can I ensure that the daily backups are working???.. please advise... Note that the backups are run via a sh script that is scheduled to run using a cron entry | 05:00 |
| ScottK | Take the backup and restore it onto a test system. | 05:01 |
| ScottK | That's the only way to really know. | 05:01 |
| ScottK | Amateurs back up. Professionals restore too. | 05:01 |
| twister004 | ScottK.. agreed.. but can't I view some sqldump logs to find out?.... | 05:03 |
| ScottK | You still won't know. | 05:03 |
| twister004 | ScottK.. I can't really go about restoring these daily backups.... daily :D | 05:04 |
| ScottK | No, but you should do it periodically. | 05:04 |
| ScottK | I don't know a lot about sqldump, but I do know that. | 05:04 |
| JoeCoder | You could use sql dump to restore it to another machine. If it powers a website, you could use wget to load the website and make sure it doesn't return a 500, calling a script to email you if it does. | 05:05 |
| twister004 | ScottK.. so there's no other way huh....hmm | 05:05 |
| ScottK | I'm sure you could, but I don't know exactly how. | 05:06 |
| ScottK | I'd restore it at least once if you haven't. | 05:06 |

| blahdeblah | Hi. Any experts on initramfs & mdadm present? I have a server which fails to mount the root filesystem on reboot. It drops into the busybox shell claiming that there's no root filesystem. A simple mdadm --auto-detect fixes it and the system continues to boot. Why is this happening, and how can i get the mdadm process to continue without intervention? | 05:34 |
| twb | Easy thing to try is sudo update-initramfs -u -k all | 05:47 |
| blahdeblah | already done that | 05:48 |
| twb | That will rebuild the ramdisks with the current /etc/mdadm.conf | 05:48 |
| blahdeblah | No joy | 05:48 |
| twb | not sure then | 05:48 |
| blahdeblah | I even went to the extent of unpacking the built initrd and manually looking through the code | 05:48 |
| twb | Check that fstab rootfs is sane, etc | 05:48 |
| twb | Actually that's passed as an arg from the bootloader, so also check /boot/grub/grub.cfg or whatever it is | 05:49 |
| blahdeblah | Any idea how i can show the filesystem UUID to check the one in /etc/fstab & /boot/grub? | 05:50 |
| blahdeblah | never mind - i looked in /dev/disk/ | 05:50 |
| twb | tune2fs -l | 05:51 |
| blahdeblah | Cool - looks OK | 05:51 |
| blahdeblah | fstab has UUID=..., but /boot/grub/menu.lst just has root=/dev/md0. I assume both should work... | 05:52 |
| twb | Assuming it's md0 yes | 06:04 |
| twb | md0 is MORE likely to work... usually | 06:04 |

| _ruben | eh? | 15:35 |
| Vhozard | (using virtualbox on windows 7) | 15:35 |
| Vhozard | have it set as bridged, yet it cant resolve google.com | 15:35 |

| _ruben | wifi or wired ? | 15:35 |
| Vhozard | no internet acces | 15:35 |
| Vhozard | eth0 wired | 15:35 |
| Vhozard | it worked yesterday | 15:36 |
| Vhozard | started the machine today, no internet | 15:36 |
| _ruben | can you ping the host? | 15:36 |
| Vhozard | I cant | 15:36 |
| Vhozard | i just did "ping [ip]" | 15:37 |
| Vhozard | thats right ? | 15:37 |
| _ruben | assuming you used the actual ip instead of [ip], yes :) | 15:37 |
| Vhozard | :) | 15:38 |

| _ruben | tho seems to be a very low level issue, dont have any experience with vbox though, only vmware products | 15:38 |
| _ruben | i assume you use dhcp? does it get an ip address from the dhcp server? can check with "ip a" | 15:38 |
| Vhozard | hmm | 15:39 |
| Vhozard | it shows lo and eth2 | 15:39 |
| Vhozard | but no ipv4 | 15:40 |

| Vhozard | sudo /etc/network restart or something? | 15:44 |
| kpettit | Vhozard, you can do that or you can do "ifdown eth0" then "ifup eth0" type of thing | 15:44 |
| smb | Vhozard, Would be sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 15:45 |
| Vhozard | it wont go down | 15:45 |
| Vhozard | .. | 15:45 |
| Vhozard | it says its not there | 15:45 |
| Vhozard | and eth0~4 dont exist | 15:46 |
| Vhozard | :( | 15:46 |
| kpettit | Vhozard, try the "ifdown eth0" then "ifup eth0" | 15:46 |

| Vhozard | eth0: error while getting interface flags | 15:46 |
| Vhozard | No such device | 15:46 |
| Vhozard | wth | 15:46 |
| kpettit | The etc/init.d/networking script always seems to have issues for me when I'm tweaking things. So doing it manually with the ifup/ifdown work better for me | 15:46 |
| kpettit | you can do "ifconfig" to see your network devices. | 15:47 |
| Vhozard | thanks | 15:47 |
| Vhozard | only loopback is there | 15:47 |
| === grawcho is now known as grawcho___ | ||

| === med_out is now known as med | ||

| Vhozard | thats good | 15:58 |

| _ruben | btw, those werent ipv6, they were mac addresses | 15:59 |

| RoAkSoAx | TREllis: ping | 16:01 |
| _ruben | dunno, i don't really care about a console's resolution | 16:01 |

| _ruben | s/test/text/ | 16:02 |
| Vhozard | vga=799 gives me 1600x900 | 16:03 |
| Vhozard | much better | 16:03 |
| Vhozard | 1600x1200 actually... | 16:05 |
| Vhozard | hmmm, this is weird | 16:05 |
| Vhozard | it recognizes the network adapter | 16:05 |
| Vhozard | it says its loading the intel1000t drivers (right ones) | 16:06 |
| Vhozard | then it says: udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth3 | 16:06 |
| Vhozard | but whe I do sudo ifup eth3 it says its "unknown interface" | 16:06 |
| smb | Vhozard, That is the effect of the udev file I mentioned | 16:06 |
| Vhozard | . /etc/udev/rules.d is a folder | 16:07 |
| smb | if you delete all entries in the persistent-net (70-something I don't remember exactly) | 16:07 |
| smb | which say mac and eth something, then the next boot starts fresh from eth0 | 16:08 |
| Vhozard | k done | 16:08 |
| Vhozard | will reboot now | 16:08 |
| Vhozard | yay | 16:09 |
| Vhozard | wget google.com | 16:09 |
| Vhozard | it works :) | 16:09 |
| Vhozard | thanks smb! | 16:09 |
| Vhozard | can you maybe explain why it did that? | 16:09 |
| smb | Well, the persistent file tries to keep your network cards always the same interface | 16:10 |
| Vhozard | ah | 16:10 |
| smb | Unfortunately if you change cards or use the same image on different hosts you get new interfaces | 16:10 |
| smb | but the networking configuration does not keep up with that | 16:10 |
| smb | So either you can add lines for each eth in /etc/network/interfaces | 16:11 |
| smb | or you housekeep the persistent names file | 16:11 |
| Vhozard | any reason why the boot wont show anything btw? | 16:13 |
| smb | Vhozard, It sort of is not really seen as a problem. Your configuration says give eth0 this ip, ok, there is no eth0 but an eth1 or 2 but nobody said what to do with those | 16:16 |
| smb | so they get ignored | 16:16 |
| Vhozard | ah | 16:17 |
| Vhozard | whats the highest res I can get with vbeinfo btw? | 16:17 |
| Vhozard | GRUB_GFXMODE= | 16:17 |

| RoAkSoAx | mean* | 16:36 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: i'm just wondering if there's a name for that [bracket] style of configuration file | 16:37 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: ah! yes, [powernap] is for the options of powernap daemon itself | 16:38 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: while [XyzMonitor] is for each monitor | 16:38 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: yes, i understand that | 16:38 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: i mean, what do you call that kind of syntax | 16:38 |
| patdk-wk | windows ini file? | 16:38 |

| Doonz | hey guys im using rsync to copy data from one raid array to the other. When i run rsync a 2nd time it retransfers all the files. how do i make rsync stop doing that | 16:47 |
| Doonz | im just using the -vr options | 16:47 |
| Vhozard | <pmatulis> Vhozard: dont wanna pay? | 16:50 |
| Vhozard | nope | 16:50 |
| pmatulis | Vhozard: then get something else | 16:51 |
| Vhozard | I asked | 16:51 |
| Vhozard | is there something similair ? | 16:51 |
| pmatulis | Vhozard: you asked "Is ubuntu Landscape possible for me?" | 16:52 |
| Vhozard | oh, I asked in another channel then if there is something similair :P | 16:52 |
| Vhozard | is there? | 16:52 |
| pmatulis | Vhozard: nope | 16:52 |
| _ruben | Doonz: apparently for some reason rsync all files have changed in the meantime | 16:59 |
| Doonz | hmm | 16:59 |
| Doonz | its like 400GB of data files that havent been touched in 6 months | 16:59 |
| genii-around | Doonz: Perhaps use also the -a switch | 16:59 |
| genii-around | Or -u for "update-only" | 17:00 |
| Doonz | well ill t-u was the key | 17:00 |
| Doonz | lol | 17:00 |
| Doonz | -u was the key | 17:01 |
| _ruben | ah, missed the -vr comment, i tend to use -av | 17:01 |
| Doonz | well thank gawd cause i didnt wanna re-do the whole transfer again | 17:02 |
| Doonz | thanx for the help | 17:06 |

| skrite | hey all | 17:55 |
| RoyK | hi | 17:56 |
| Macer | wow | 17:57 |
| Macer | what is wrong with nfs4 and permissions?? | 17:57 |
| skrite | hey all, i have one mysql table with about 5 million rows and queries take longer to draw off this table that some with 50 million rows. they are all myIsam. | 17:57 |
| Macer | i have some number where my user andf grp should be | 17:57 |
| Macer | does nfs4 not work? | 17:58 |
| jbroome | ok, i looked on the forums and irc log archives. are launchpad.net repos failing a known issue? | 18:01 |
| hallyn | zul: thanks :) | 18:03 |
| RoyK | Macer: nfs4 relies on kerberos for authentication | 18:03 |
| kirkland | lynxman: sure | 18:03 |
| kirkland | lynxman: please do | 18:03 |
| lynxman | kirkland: cool, ty | 18:03 |
| RoyK | Macer: without kerberos, user/group will be mapped to anonymous, at least on some platforms | 18:03 |
| kirkland | lynxman: welcome | 18:04 |
| Macer | ah ok thanks | 18:07 |
| Macer | i will set up kerberos when i get home | 18:08 |
| RoyK | or just use nfs3 | 18:08 |
| Macer | it will be something fun to do | 18:08 |
| RoyK | yeah :) | 18:08 |
| Macer | does kerberos authenticate uid/gid from a central server? | 18:08 |
| Macer | as in for logins? | 18:08 |
| Macer | that would be nice as i really dont feel like clawing at my own face setting ldap up | 18:09 |
| RoyK | yes | 18:09 |
| Macer | so it can make a universal passwd? | 18:09 |
| RoyK | there's where ldap comes in | 18:10 |
| Macer | and authenticates agaheh | 18:10 |
| Macer | oh | 18:10 |
| RoyK | kerberos is just an authentication mechanism used by other services, like ldap :P | 18:10 |
| Macer | damn | 18:10 |
| RoyK | but I think you may be able to use nis+kerberos | 18:10 |
| RoyK | never tried that, though | 18:10 |
| RoyK | anyway - nis is old and quite rotten, I'd recommend ldap | 18:11 |
| Macer | so in order to have one server auth and manage passwd i need ldap? | 18:11 |
| RoyK | or nis | 18:11 |
| RoyK | it's probably easier with nis | 18:11 |
| Macer | nis is still around? | 18:11 |
| Macer | :) | 18:11 |
| RoyK | yeah :) | 18:11 |
| Macer | wow | 18:11 |
| Macer | i will try ldap | 18:11 |
| RoyK | lol | 18:11 |
| Macer | hopefully it isnt too difficult | 18:11 |
| RoyK | google for it :) | 18:12 |
| Macer | i will | 18:12 |
| Macer | not home now and dont feel like doing it over my phone | 18:12 |
| Macer | sounds like something with a learning curve | 18:13 |
| Macer | and i think i just now figured out the acls | 18:13 |
| RoyK | everything has a learning curve, but the ldap curve might be a little steeper than that of using windows 7 :P | 18:14 |

| SpamapS | bug 653405 | 18:44 |

| SpamapS | lynxman: sweet | 18:44 |
| lynxman | SpamapS: it's just a way to go around the issue for now :) | 18:44 |
| SpamapS | lynxman: there are some fixes in the next version that make that bug less bad. | 18:44 |
| lynxman | SpamapS: sweet! | 18:44 |
| SpamapS | lynxman: I believe the "or has changed..." part will go away | 18:45 |
| SpamapS | lynxman: and they may have provided a way to override the hostname now | 18:45 |
| SpamapS | oi.. realizing the oneiric is open now just made me realize how many things I've been holding off on the last 2 months... | 18:45 |
| lynxman | SpamapS: I needed to get around that bug for mcollective dependencies, cloud hosts install by default with no resolvable hostname, otherwise mcollective-middleware fails postinst checks | 18:45 |
| * SpamapS downshifts and hits the gas | 18:45 | |

| mkrieger | hey folks—we're seeing periodic freeze-ups of about 3 seconds on our ec2 (m2.4xlarge) instances, running 10.04 with the 2.6.32-314-ec2 kernel. we've tried moving it to an entirely different box (with new EBS drives) with no luck—same problems result. has anyone seen something similar? | 19:37 |
| mkrieger | (during that time, no IO to the network happens, which means all the Postgres queries time out; sar shows that no IO to any of the EBS drives occurs during those seconds) | 19:38 |

| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: So I've been looking a bit more into this, and it seems that everytime we netboot the installer wget's files. So if we wanted to use a local mirror (and configure the preseed) we would need have packages already in the local mirror. | 20:14 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: haven't yet tried having squid-deb-proxy | 20:14 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: that's what the transparent proxy is supposed to do | 20:14 |

| robo | hi: there is an ubuntu server farm i just inherited and they're rolling out ubuntu 9.10 on fresh installs. Any ideas why they're doing this and not 11.04 or 10.04 LTS? | 20:20 |
| Pici | Thats rather silly. | 20:21 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: i think we need to create a squid-deb-proxy-udeb | 20:22 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: and we need to install that very, very early on the client being provisioned | 20:23 |
| kirkland | sorry, RoAkSoAx: squid-deb-proxy-client-udeb | 20:23 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: right, but still we need a source from where to download the initial files which should be a local mirror | 20:23 |
| Pici | robo: 9.10's EOL date is today. | 20:25 |
| ScottK | robo: Does the server farm's use involve PHP? | 20:27 |
| ScottK | If so, php5 5.3 in newer releases may be why. | 20:30 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: The only place where I see this as a bit more complicated is with mini.iso's. Because, in complete server ISO imports, we can just install from the ISO at first, and once installed, it will just have squid-deb-proxy-client and that's it. | 20:30 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: however, the mini.iso will have to obtain the necessary bits from the Internet or a pre-loaded mirror | 20:31 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: unless in the preseed it's possible to tell that there's an APT proxy, and point to it | 20:33 |
| robo | ScottK, it involves coldfusion not php :-/ | 20:36 |
| robo | so why the heck are we rolling out 9.10 | 20:36 |
| robo | Guess i better find out :-) | 20:36 |
| talntid | Is the latest PHP in the repos 5.2? I can't seem to find 5.3.6 or similar... | 20:38 |
| pmatulis | mkrieger: did you get it figured out? | 20:41 |
| robo | If you're running a server farm of ~30 servers and you need it to be stable, is LTS your best bet? | 20:42 |
| robo | Not sure if I should go with 10.04 LTS or 11.04 | 20:42 |
| pmatulis | robo: all releases are "stable" | 20:42 |
| pmatulis | robo: it's just that LTS is supported for a longer period and the changes that do go into it (updates) are less intrusive | 20:43 |
| pmatulis | !LTS | 20:43 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 20:43 |
| robo | so updates are less intrusive? | 20:44 |
| pmatulis | robo: they are put in with more care | 20:44 |
| pmatulis | robo: (less chance of regression) | 20:45 |
| robo | so if stability matters one should go with a LTS version? | 20:45 |
| pmatulis | robo: if you use stability in that way then yes | 20:45 |
| robo | Then how to SRU's fit in? | 20:45 |
| robo | s/to/do/ | 20:45 |
| pmatulis | robo: SRU = updates | 20:45 |
| pmatulis | !SRU | 20:46 |
| ubottu | Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 20:46 |
| robo | SRU's should already be very stable, no? So if you're running LTS or non-LTS as long as you're updating using SRU packages then you should be stable regardless, right? | 20:46 |
| robo | Or maybe better said, you'l l have the same level of stability | 20:46 |
| pmatulis | robo: like i said, SRU to an LTS is done with more care | 20:46 |
| robo | Oh... even more care | 20:47 |
| robo | gotcha | 20:47 |
| pmatulis | yes | 20:47 |
| robo | gotcha, ty | 20:47 |
| robo | so i then need to figure out what versions of software the LTS has to offer and work from there | 20:47 |
| robo | is there an easy way to do this? | 20:47 |
| pmatulis | robo: well if you were about to go with 9.10 i'm sure 10.04 will do no? | 20:48 |
| ScottK | talntid: Latest in 11.04 is 5.3.5. | 20:48 |
| robo | yeah, but i'm not sure what all they did to these servers. They might have stuff compiled in for all i know | 20:48 |
| talntid | ok | 20:50 |
| Macer | hm | 20:59 |
