twbOK02:41
qman__matt___, simply don't use fakeraid, use software raid during ubuntu setup02:42
qman__it offers no real advantage, performance or otherwise, and it's unnecessarily difficult02:42
matt___so using the built in sw raid and the onboard sw raid is going to give the same performance?02:42
qman__a real raid controller can be a different story, but not onboard fakeraid02:42
qman__pretty much02:43

sorenjetole: All resources pertaining to defunct processes have been released except for one final thing: Their exit code. The kernel can't delete the process from its process table until someone has bothered to check its exit code (By calling wait*()).18:46

koolhead17shall i request a blueprint :D18:50
Davieykoolhead17: zul did do some work to get cloud-init working on normal hardware last cycle.18:51
DavieyDon't know if it got anywhere.18:51
zulhmmm?18:51
koolhead17ooh ok. it will be cool to have in end option coming in ISO install saying paste custom script, like cobbler, cloud-init or amazon :D18:51
Davieyzul: didn't you?18:51
Davieykoolhead17: well there is a late_command you can preseed whilst still in the installer.18:52
koolhead17Daviey: yeah am using that, i meant in general booting from ISO in hardware. if there is sumthing18:52
koolhead17:)18:52
koolhead17it will be really cool18:52
GrueMasterDaviey: I don't think this applies to me.  What I am seeing is far different.  Actual garbage on the console when the kernel jumps into the initramfs.18:53
koolhead17RoAkSoAx: hello18:53
DavieyGrueMaster: ok18:53
* koolhead17 bows to robbiew18:55
Davieykoolhead17: You could throw something into /etc/rc.local and make sure it's flushed18:55
koolhead17aah, i did that only. :)18:55
koolhead17Daviey: whom should i run after for the bug i filled :P18:56
Davieykoolhead17: As i said, it really needs more debug info. :(18:56
DavieyIt needs enough information for someone to be able to reproduce it18:56
koolhead17Daviey: i provided hardware detail and scenario as well :( and  syslog ceases after assigning the IP18:57
jetolesoren: Yeah I understand what a zombie process is. Uninteruptable sleep is not a zombie or defunct process though and it can consume RAM and when that sleep ends then it can continue to use other resources18:57
* jetole just got back from the data center18:57
koolhead17with the big Success! :P18:57
* koolhead17 was inside there for past 2 days to get cobbler oneiric love working18:58
jetolesoren: uninteruptable sleep can be, for example, when the process makes a sys call and is waiting on input from the kernel, in this case the kernel is blocking signals18:58
magicblaze007previously my apache wsgi apps were located in /var/www -- for some reason, now apache looks for one of those apps in /etc/apache2/htdocs -- any ideas how to fix this? I tried adding DocumentRoot in the virtualhost entry, but that doesnt help either18:58
sorenjetole: Yes, exactly.18:59
sorenjetole: And uninterruptible means exactly that: It cannot be interrupted (by, say, kill -9).18:59
RoAkSoAxkoolhead17: howdy!! (sorry was out for lunch)18:59
jetolesoren: take a process that calls a system function and the system function, the code withing the kernel itself is either waiting on something or processing something to complete the call. the process would be in uninteruptable sleep until the kernel / system function returns to it18:59
koolhead17Daviey: i will make video of it now and post it somewhere. haha :D19:00
jetolesoren: well I understand that now but it's Linux. You never know who found a hack for what19:00
koolhead17RoAkSoAx: long time. how have you been.19:00
Davieykoolhead17: I mean, it needs a log showing failure.. or more debug info.19:00
jetolesoren: in case it was say tweaking something in /proc or who knows. When I asked I thought there may have been a work around and when I said you can ignore my question because I now understand the answer, then what I meant was you can ignore my question because I now understand the answer :P19:01
RoAkSoAxkoolhead17: pretty good, yourself?19:01

T3CHKOMMIEhey guys, im having a kernel emergecny, can anyone help me figure out why my custom kernal is panicing when it tryes to mount the VFS /dev/sda1?19:32
DavieyAnnoyingly i don't have a spare usb pendrive to hand, thanks to dendrobates :/19:32
DavieyT3CHKOMMIE: It sounds like the bug is "custom kernel"19:32
Davieypopey: Are you using usb-creator on natty or oneiric?19:33
T3CHKOMMIEDaviey, im not fan of this, but my insturctors apparently dont know what they are doing and ive read all the instructions, i think i just dont concetpually understand what is going on. i loads the kernal, trys to boot then panics when it tries to mount the vfs19:33
DavieyT3CHKOMMIE: Why are you using a custom kernel?19:34
T3CHKOMMIEDaviey, its a dumb class requirment.19:35
T3CHKOMMIEthe require us to do this shit on modern oses with 3 year old lab instructions.... and when shit breaks they say "google it"19:36
T3CHKOMMIEso ive been here for 5 horus and cant get the GD thing to boot :@19:36
popeyDaviey: oneiric19:36
Davieypopey: ah!19:37
GrueMasterT3CHKOMMIE: Sounds like it cant find initrd.19:38
Davieypopey: I suspect it's a bug in that. :(19:38
T3CHKOMMIEwell, looks like with 10.4 i have to compile this orginally with some extra scripts.19:38
T3CHKOMMIEF word.19:38
* popey reboot into natty and will test all three methods again19:39
T3CHKOMMIEGrueMaster, do you know of a way for me to get this kernel working on 10.04? if that is the problem?19:39
Davieypopey: cool, thanks19:40
GrueMasterT3CHKOMMIE: Not really.  I don't do custom kernel stuff.  But you should be able to boot to a standard kernel and rebuild the initramfs.19:40
GrueMasterUse "sudo update-initramfs -k <kernel>"19:41
T3CHKOMMIEawesome let me give that a shot.19:41
T3CHKOMMIEGrueMaster, if the kernel is already compiled is there a way to do this without recompiling?19:43
GrueMasterif the kernel & modules are installed (make install) then update-initramfs should build an initrd.19:44
T3CHKOMMIEok, seems like im still having the problem, should i have something like initramfs=/dev/sda1 in the 40_custom file?19:49
GrueMasterHuh?  I don't even follow what you are trying to accomplish here.  what is your boot cmdline?  You should have grub (or other boot loader) loading initramfs=/boot/initrd.img or something like that.19:51
GrueMasterLook at a running system to get a better understanding.19:51
Davieypopey: how is it looking?19:55
GrueMasterDaviey: Here is the console output from booting my panda with iscsi rootfs.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/684686/  The only difference I can think of is that I added iscsi to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and ran update-initramfs -u per http://etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/ubuntu_iscsi19:56
popeydding Daviey19:56
Davieypopey: I don't have confidence that dd will work.. i think it will fail to find something early on during the installer.19:58
Davieypopey: did natty fail?19:58
DavieyGrueMaster: The kernel is on the sd?19:59
GrueMasteryes19:59
DavieyGrueMaster: do you have it connected to a network?20:00
GrueMasterObviously.20:00
popeyDaviey: dding to a partition20:00
GrueMasterGet beyond the basics, please.  I have been doing netinstalls on these systems since A2.20:01
DavieyGrueMaster: Can you try pinging?  I wonder if when the root fs comes up it is dropping the serial console.20:01
popeyDaviey: which also fails20:01
GrueMasterNo net.20:01
GrueMasterIt isn't getting that far.20:02
DavieyGrueMaster: I'm trying to help here.  If you are going to be like that, it can wait until tomorrow.20:02
popeyDaviey: trying usb creator20:02
popeyand dbus errors in usb-creator20:03
Davieypopey: in natty?20:03
popeyyes20:03
DavieyGah20:03
GrueMasterDaviey: Sorry, but I have been doing system QA for the better part of 20 years, and I tend to get touchy when someone asks me noob questions (like "did you plug it in?")20:03
DavieyGrueMaster: TBH, my brain wasn't in gear.. If i had thought about it, i'd have realised that it must be connected for iscsi.  It was really a pre-question to see if you could ping it, confirming if it was still booting ok - and the serial console had just gone AWOL.20:04
GrueMasterFair enough.  :P20:04
popeyDaviey: formatted and trying usb creator20:04
GrueMasterFrom what it looks like, something in the initramfs is getting corrupted.20:05
GrueMasterThe same system booted just fine to USB prior to updating the initramfs.20:05
GrueMasterThat's why I find it so odd.20:06
DavieyGrueMaster: do you have a pastebin of a loca filesystem boot?  I don't want to set mine up at the moment.20:07
Davieylocal*20:07
GrueMasterSure, give me a sec.20:07
DavieyGrueMaster: hold fire, i have one20:09
DavieyGrueMaster: So.. http://pb.daviey.com/JOuM/20:09
DavieyGrueMaster: you get crap, where you should get - [ 2.430053] console [ttyO2] enabled20:09
popeyDaviey: fails on natty too, usb creator that is20:09
DavieyNow i suspect it's a baud mismatch or something20:09
popeythis is why I asked initially what the supported way was20:09
Davieypopey: The supported way is using usb-creator. :/20:09
popeyhah20:10
* popey keeps trying20:10
DavieyWould someone be able to reproduce using usb-creator-gtk to create a server pendrive, and check you can get to the installer.. Seems to be broken for popey, and it would be nice if it could be reproduced.20:11

DavieyGrueMaster: Your /etc/init/ttyO2.conf settings are correct?20:14
GrueMasterYes.  Verified.20:14
DavieyGrueMaster: So i have seen that crap on the output when i put wrong speed settings.. but if you are using the same settings as you normally use, i can't see how it could be that20:17
GrueMasterOk, I checked something else, and apparently my SD had some corruption.  Now getting further.20:19
GrueMasterYet another bug, it would seem.20:20
Davieygah20:20
GrueMasterSo now I appear to be stuck at the bug you mentioned earlier.20:20
DavieyGrueMaster: Does text input make more rubbish show on the console?20:21

GrueMasterI think so.  It just spewed a bunch of ext4 transport errors.20:23
GrueMasterBut it has mounted the iscsi volume and is running through init.20:24
