[05:01] <twb> I'm using libvirt-bin on lucid; it looks like you wrote the upstart job
[05:01] <twb> Apparently when the dom0 gets a "shutdown -h now" or so, the domUs aren't told to start a clean shutdown
[05:02] <twb> I want the same behaviour as e.g. vmware-server, where dom0 shutdown will wait until the guests have finished shutting down before the dom0 itself shuts down
[05:02] <twb> Surely someone has already sorted this out?
[05:53] <Roxyhart0> hi There, i installed ssh server, but it is not working ...I cant not connect from other computers to the server, just locally. Somebody know hot to do cheking to this
[05:54] <Roxyhart0> it was working before...I did just installed NAT and it stop to work, but I am not sure if it had something to do with this configuration
[07:38] <amero> if the softlimit for nproc not specified, does it become unlimited?
[08:10] <mithran> hi all, i am trying to use this appliance that uses ubuntu server to support virtual machines, ive created a virtual machine, and need to boot from the network , but its not getting an address that is on the local network, i have NAT and bridged as the options to setup the nic, any suggestions?
[08:13] <mithran> does someone have a good link for the different options to set for a nice on a virtual machine?, i was trying to do the same thing with virtual box, with no sucess :(
[08:13] <twb> Define "nice"
[08:16] <mithran> nic* sorry :)
[08:17] <kaushal> Hi
[08:17] <kaushal> Please guide me about http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/605598/
[08:20] <amero> any idea why ssh keeps booting me off at login after setting nproc limit for the user i tried to log in
[08:22] <amero> but the num of current proccess of that user is nowhere near the nproc limit i've set though
[08:40] <kim0> hey guys, is there some wiki page describing the process to get some software into universe

[09:01] <tunic> hi
[09:03] <tunic> I've have a NFS export... if I md5sum a 500Mb file ina server shell I got a value, if I md5sum that same file in a NFS client I got another value
[09:04] <tunic> what's is strange is that the md5sum in the NFS client is always de same, so I guess is not because corrupted transmission, because then I'll got different md5sums
[09:04] <tunic> I use sync option in export file (async may cause corruption)
[09:04] <tunic> any ideas?
[09:07] <twb> lynxman: not sure
[09:07] <twb> lynxman: unless md5sum algo is different on each?
[09:09] <tunic> also, I'm using lucid binaries in the 10.10 Maverick Meerkat clients because Maverick binaries have an ugly bug
[09:09] <tunic> may be related?
[09:09] <tunic> no
[09:09] <tunic> md5sum is the same in client each time
[11:04] <Guest60484> hi
[11:09] <w00> i'm a very new Ubuntu user, played with cobbler on my natty-server vm and all worked fine with importing/installing/etc another natty-server but hit a bug while trying to import the mini.iso.. it seems the bug got fixed in cobbler-2.1.0-0ubuntu8 but i don't see it in my apt-get upgrade, what am i missing?
[11:38] <w00> :s
[11:40] <RoAkSoAx> w00: you need to import the mini ISO specifying breed and release
[11:41] <RoAkSoAx> w00: and then assign a preseed file
[11:41] <w00> RoAkSoAx, i did specified breed/release
[11:42] <RoAkSoAx> w00: so what's the failure you've face when importing a mini ISO?
[11:42] <w00> Anyway i read that it should work, didn't tested though as i thought that if a fix is available i could install that
[11:43] <w00> RoAkSoAx https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cobbler/+bug/765224/comments/4
[11:43] <RoAkSoAx> w00: ah no, the error shown on importing a ISo when specifyin breed/release is not really an error related to the ISO itself, but rather something different
[11:43] <RoAkSoAx> w00: that happens to affect the mini.iso import
[11:43] <RoAkSoAx> w00: I have fixed that in Oneiric though, hasn'
[11:44] <RoAkSoAx> hasn't yet been SRU'd back to Natty
[11:44] <RoAkSoAx> w00: I mena, the ISO import doesn't really fail
[11:44] <w00> RoAkSoAx, yeah i read that, and was wondering how to install it in my natty-server.. as i said i'm a very new Ubuntu user and not accustomed yet with apt* stuff
[11:45] <RoAkSoAx> w00: youcould install the PPA packages
[11:45] <RoAkSoAx> w00: 1. sudo apt-get install python-software-properties 2. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-virt/ppa 3. sudo apt-get update
[11:46] <RoAkSoAx> 4. sudo apt-get install cobbler cobbler-web virtinst
[11:46] <RoAkSoAx> ahh ignore virtinst
[11:46] <w00> Noted, will try after lunch :) thanks a lot
[11:46] <RoAkSoAx> w00: hold on, if you PXE boot you don't even the latest fixes
[11:46] <w00> eh?
[11:46] <RoAkSoAx> w00: if you use koan to install VM's, you do need the latest
[11:47] <RoAkSoAx> w00: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cobbler/Deployment#Deploying via PXE
[11:47] <w00> I don't use koan and the vm is an esxi
[11:48] <w00> RoAkSoAx, yeah i read it, got it working ok with an natty-server.iso as i said earlier :)
[11:48] <w00> It's all good
[11:48] <RoAkSoAx> w00: yeah the import of the MINI iso will *not* fail but will still show the error
[11:49] <RoAkSoAx> w00: but if you install the latest as explained above, then the error will no longer be thrown
[11:49] <w00> RoAkSoAx, understood, thanks again :)
[11:49] <RoAkSoAx> w00: np ;)

[14:04] <hallyn> resno: depends what you're trying to do.  http://s3hh.wordpress.com/2010/06/18/lxc-0-7-0/  is the simple get-started giude
[14:08] <resno> thanks hallyn.. have you worked with it at all?
[14:09] <hallyn> yup
[14:09] <hallyn> i use it daily to set up test environments for bugs
[14:09] <hallyn> (fast cloning w lvm)
[14:14] <resno> hallyn: did you create your own containers or just mod openvz ones?
[14:15] <ARTSIOM> when I ssh to my ubuntu-server 10.04 it says "30 packages can be updated. 23 updates are security updates.", but when I run sudo apt-get upgrade it doesn't update anything. Can someone please explaine how to fix this. Thanks!
[14:22] <RoAkSoAx> TREllis: ping
[14:22] <hallyn> resno: i make my own as pe that blog entry
[14:22] <hallyn> openvz ones don't likely convert very well
[14:23] <resno> hallyn: ah, i see. just curious how most people do it, ive read alot about how to do it
[14:24] <hallyn> resno: that's bc it usd to be a lot harder
[14:24] <hallyn> if you're on natty especially
[14:24] <resno> im still on lts
[14:25] <hallyn> i recommend using the templates and then customizing as needed
[14:25] <resno> ah ok
[14:25] <resno> openvz templates?
[14:25] <resno> or otherwise
[14:25] <hallyn> no,
[14:25] <hallyn> 'lxc-creaz
[14:25] <hallyn> feh
[14:25] <resno> ah ok
[14:25] <resno> i know what you meant ;)
[14:25] <hallyn> lxc-create -t ubuntu -n lxc1 -f /etc/lxc.conf'
[14:26] <hallyn> ok :)
[14:26] <hallyn> have fun
[14:26] <resno> hallyn: i can run other oses right?
[14:27] <hallyn> distros yes.  os's no
[14:28] <hallyn> need kvm for that
[14:28] <hallyn> and the templates for other os's don't work well, actually
[14:28] <resno> heh, yea. sorry thats what i meant hallyn
[14:29] <hallyn> so  aybe best to read the ubuntu one, grok it, and repeat what it doe for other distros in thed right way.   sorry haven't done much of that
[14:30] <hallyn> which distro?
[14:30] <resno> hallyn: most interested in doing centos
[14:31] <resno> by default its going to be ubuntu right?
[14:31] <hallyn> you'll need to yank stuff like udev out of /etc/init?d
[14:31] <hallyn> that's just the template that works
[14:31] <resno> great!
[14:32] <hallyn> if you can write a tedmplate for centos thagt works, we could put up a reppo
[14:32] <hallyn> gotta go, bbl

[14:41] <TREllis> RoAkSoAx: pong
[15:11] <ph8> A bit of a random question, i'm trying to create an 'ultimately resilient FTP cluster' - a couple of load balanced machines with a shared disk sounds OK but how can I eliminate the shared disk as a single point of failure? Raid1 of two shared disks sounds really sketchy, is there a better solution?
[15:13] <_ruben> ph8: drbd
[15:23] <Pumpkin-> make sure you have resiliant network
[15:23] <Pumpkin-> resiliant power
[15:23] <Pumpkin-> resliant location
[15:24] <Pumpkin-> depending on how "ultimatley resiliant" you want it to be
[15:26] <ph8> yes i thought drbd
[15:26] <ph8> i used it about 3 years ago
[15:26] <ph8> it looks pretty sexy now as well
[15:26] <ph8> if i physically distribute the cluster, all on gig infrastructure, that should be fine right?
[15:33] <lynxman> ph8: should be alright yeah, just be aware that it'll add some additional latency to your disk writes, and drbd doesn't work active-active afaik
[16:02] <ph8> hmm i thought i used master master a while ago
[16:02] <ph8> but heartbeat with master-switch would be fine i guess
[16:03] <_ruben> active-active is possible, but the split-brain risk sure aint fun, active-passive with automated/manual failover tends to be a lot safe
[16:03] <_ruben> r

[16:13] <fastveg> hey guys, new to ubuntu server here... can navigate around but that's about it..
[16:13] <fastveg> I'm giving myself a project to get used to things, just install wordpess on linode
[16:13] <fastveg> but, uh,
[16:14] <fastveg> I can't figure out even how to download and install wordpress
[16:14] <TREllis> RoAkSoAx: ah ok, let's chat about it later then
[16:14] <RoAkSoAx> TREllis: sure
[16:15] <felimwhiteley> fastveg: sudo apt-get install wordpress
[16:16] <fastveg> oh really?  I don't need to manually download the tar gz?
[16:16] <felimwhiteley> no that way you get security updates etc. applied by ubuntu
[16:17] <fastveg> omg, this is so much better
[16:17] <fastveg> did all the dependancies too
[16:18] <fastveg> felimwhiteley: So where exactly did it install it?  It's not in the folder I'm already in
[16:23] <JanC> fastveg: dpkg -L wordpress
[16:23] <mand0> you could do a whereis search
[16:25] <JanC> fastveg: maybe useful to read https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/index.html
[16:26] <fastveg> janc: that command was sweet.  very helpful.  i'll check out the link
[16:27] <JanC> fastveg: most commands have documentation when you do "man <commandname>"
[16:28] <JanC> e.g. "man dpkg" gives documentation about dpkg
[16:29] <JanC> also, many packages have additional documentation in /usr/shar/doc/<packagename>
[16:30] <fastveg> janc: yeah, this is a lot different than doing it on shared hosting, for sure..
[16:30] <JanC> just make sure you keep your system safe!  ☺
[16:32] <felimwhiteley> fastveg: ah sorry was called away.. see you are sorted now though :)
[16:35] <fastveg> np ;)
[16:38] <pisco> Hi, can anyone point me to a tutorial on how to configure raid and LVM on an existing installation?
[16:45] <andygraybeal> does searching for: ubuntu raid lvm ... turn anything up?
[17:01] <DW-10297> Whenever I install 11.04 on a server, when the server boots up it boots to a cursor and I have to hit alt-f2 or whatever to get a shell to login.. anyone know what gives?
[17:05] <fastveg> So having an issue with the wordpress installation...
[17:05] <fastveg> I'm following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WordPress
[17:06] <fastveg> and get to this point:  Then install WordPress using the supplied script  sudo bash /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql -n wordpress localhost
[17:06] <fastveg> I replaced localhost with my sitename
[17:07] <fastveg> but just get back: ping: unknown host sitename.com
[17:11] <andygraybeal> fastveg, is it a real registered name in dns?  can you do a dig on the name?
[17:12] <fastveg> andygraybeal; sorry that is a little over my head
[17:13] <andygraybeal> i'm not smart enuogh to ask the right questions; but is your site fully qualified domain name?
[17:14] <cloakable> fastveg: sounds like sitename.com isn't registered in DNS, so you get unknown host.
[17:15] <cloakable> fastveg: the script won't do that for you, it just sets up wordpress :P
[18:28] <fastveg> hey guys, getting an apache error and the httpd room said it is caused by ubuntu:  apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}
[19:14] <MarkusT> With any php5 update, Ubuntu (10.04) tries to install libapache2-mod-php5. Since I run fcgid, this would break my system. If I install/update package by package, I'm able to move around this issue. Why does Ubuntu try to install this new package? And what is a nice (clever/clean) way to discourage this behavior in future updates?
[19:16] <fastveg> Anyone have any experience with installing wordpress / mysql on ubuntu-server?  Not having much luck here.
[19:20] <_johnny> anyone who've used ejabberd2 on ubuntu?
[19:27] <alan> How would i rebuild my initrd how it would be by default?
[19:36] <eagles0513875> hey guys quick question if i need perl-Net-SSLeay  what perl module or package should i install
[19:59] <JanC> eagles0513875: I guess taht would be libnet-ssleay-perl
[19:59] <eagles0513875> JanC: nope cuz it also wants it but its not sending an email with this sendemail script
[20:03] <jeremyn> is an amazon micro ec2 instance totally the wrong answer if i just want a low-end vps to use as a vpn and maybe an irc bot or something? it seems significantly more wacky than (for example) linode
[20:12] <_johnny> jeremyn: depends on what you need the bot for, consider that a ec2 is ram only, so lost after restart
[20:13] <jeremyn> just something that's perma-logged in
[20:13] <_johnny> you need a way to deploy your files, with say s3
[20:13] <_johnny> jeremyn: should be fine yes
[20:14] <jeremyn> i'm pretty confused though, i assumed it would be just like a vps where it'd give me an IP and i could log in and stuff, but i'm not seeing an ip i can ssh to on the ec2 admin page...am i just missing it or do i not understand how this works?
[20:16] <Pumpkin-> jeremyn: you do end up with one. The EC2 admin page should have the hostname on it
[20:17] <Pumpkin-> it is some giant string ending in amazonaws.com
[20:17] <Pumpkin-> I can't remember exactly where it is
[20:18] <jeremyn> there's a field like that labeled "Public DNS"
[20:18] <hallyn> jdstrand: do you have any objection to my marking https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/345485 'opinion'?
[20:18] <hallyn> (or invalid)
[20:30] <jeremyn> any ideas about why i'm getting a timeout trying to connect to my instance? i found some random forum that said i needed to open port 22, but i didn't see anything about that in the amazon documentation so i dunno.
[20:32] <Pumpkin-> AWS instances come with a firewall that by default blocks everyting
[20:33] <Pumpkin-> you need to sort that, but again I can't remember exactly how
[20:33] <Pumpkin-> (and I'm at home so I can't login and look)
[20:34] <jeremyn> there seems to be something about that in the instructions now that i'm reading more closely. always the last place to look
[20:35] <jeremyn> ok, now we're getting somewhere
[20:36] <JanC> "blocks everything"?
[20:37] <Pumpkin-> JanC: inbound anyway, from memory. Yeah.
[20:37] <Pumpkin-> the default is deny everything
[20:38] <JanC> Pumpkin-: heh, so how do you change that if you can't access it?
[20:38]  * JanC has never used AWS...
[20:38] <Pumpkin-> it isn't your machine thats doing the firewall, it is the amazon infrastructure
[20:38] <Pumpkin-> you your web control panel lets you make chagnes to that policy
[20:38] <Pumpkin-> so even
[20:43] <jeremyn> seems fine now btw
[20:43] <jeremyn> it was the security group tthing
[20:58] <NightDragon> hello

[20:59] <NightDragon> i just installed ubuntu server 11.04
[20:59] <NightDragon> and for some reason, my monitor is displaying "CANNOT DISPLAY THIS VIDEO MODE"
[20:59] <NightDragon> i dont know what conf file to edit to fix this :(
[21:12] <NightDragon> no ideas?
[21:13] <hallyn> cjwatson: do you care at all to reproduce your more precise testing for bug 747090?  (the breakpoints appear to have moved, your recipe wasn't working for me).  I've verified that the original symptoms are fixed.
[21:16] <jimbobco> Does anyone have a good way to get support for Intel 82576 GigE adapter into Lucid?
[21:17] <jimbobco> I can get drivers from Intel and build, but I would rather not if there is a better way
[21:28] <JanC> jimbobco: it doesn't work with the e1000e driver?
[21:29] <JanC> I have a bug report for e1000e & Intel 82566DM-2 GigE only working at 100 Mbit/s...
[21:30] <JanC> and seems like there are several other e1000e bug reports like that...
[22:03] <andygraybeal> jimbobco, JanC: are you guys using 10.04?
[22:08] <JanC> andygraybeal: maverick & natty (and IIRC I tested lucid too, but not sure anymore)
[22:08] <JanC> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/655967
[22:08] <andygraybeal> cool, i want to buy a intel nic... prolly the same thing
[22:08] <JanC> there are *lots* of bug reports about e1000e not working or not working properly
[22:09] <JanC> this is on-board
[22:09] <JanC> but I guess it all uses the same driver...
[22:09] <andygraybeal> yea, i want to get one of those 4 port M boards
[22:09] <andygraybeal> yea
[22:09] <JanC> this is just a home system, so it's not critical
[22:10] <andygraybeal> that's sad.. i think it works great FreeBSD i think... but i'm ignorant.. i have one in a FreeBSD box and everythign registers as GBit
[22:10] <JanC> other Gbit devices seem to work fine
[22:12] <JanC> I think e1000e probably works fine for others too
[23:03] <jimbobco> thank you for the answers
[23:03] <jimbobco> we are using 10.04.2, and I have another machine that has a different chipset for the onboard nics that I was able to update to get the 82576s working after an update
[23:04] <jimbobco> just trying to figure out the easiest way to do it at install time because these machines only have 82576s
