[08:46] just tried to boot 10.10 beta1 on e-machines E443 (amd E350 dual core) stopped blank screen after loading bluetooth something??? [08:47] ops that should be 11.10 [08:49] any ideas on how to proceed? === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter === manjo` is now known as manjo [14:42] is it possible to see previous ISO testing results through iso.qa.ubuntu.com? I need to check when the iSCSI root tests last passed.... [14:43] no, it is not, as far as I know. But IIRC, at least at alpha1 it was OK [14:44] and I actually think all the alphas made it through with iSCSI [14:44] jamespage: ^ [14:45] hggdh - yeah thats what I thought - I think I ran them in the last two [14:45] hence why I picked up beta [14:45] stgraber: ^^ re last successful test of iSCSI root in Oneiric [14:46] I think manual sql magic can do it, but I do not have access to the system [14:46] jamespage: ok [14:46] hggdh; crazy..... [14:46] jamespage: my last test was with Natty's kernel and natty's open-iscsi on Oneiric and I still had the bug [14:47] stgraber: yes - I just saw your update [14:47] jamespage: I'm now trying with an up to date Natty just to make sure I can get a working setup at least once... [14:53] ok, at least I get the exact same behaviour on natty, that's a start [14:54] well, my current test isn't exactly the one you did, I'm actually doing: [14:54] - regular ubuntu server install (on local disk) [14:54] - install open-iscsi [14:54] - scp config from my iscsi install on Oneiric into /etc/iscsi [14:54] - update-initramfs (so that the initramfs initializes the iscsi link at boot time) [14:54] - move /etc/init.d/open-iscsi aside [14:54] - reboot [14:55] I correctly see the connection from the iniramfs and it succeeds [14:55] once booted, I start open-iscsi and notice that it breaks the established session and never reconnects [14:55] well, it tries to reconnect but fails because of AuthMethod [14:56] on a regular iscsi install, that'd appear as the system hanging half way through boot (at the moment where open-iscsi is started) [14:56] I'm going to do a regular iscsi install with natty just to confirm [15:02] jamespage: I'm actually starting to wonder if the problem isn't server side instead. Do you know if the last succesful test was also done using lucid + the config from the wiki or if it was using something more recent? [15:02] stgraber: I think I did alpha3 against a lucid target [15:03] ok, I guess I'll start downloading alpha3 then, once I'm done running my test on natty [15:07] stgraber: I tried disabling the open-iscsi daemon on the images I created during beta1 testing; the unauthenticated one now boots - and quickly [15:07] just testing the other now [15:08] (as you described in the bug report really) [15:14] ditto on the authenticated [15:18] hmm, ok, really weird. Wondering if it's not just a case where open-iscsi won't start on older installs :) [15:19] stgraber: well maybe [15:28] stgraber: I wonder if the iscsi-network-interface upstart job is not doing its job right [15:28] stgraber: or not firing early enough [16:11] stgraber: still around - I have made a little progress in tracking down what the root cause might be [16:13] I think this upstart change is the cause of the problem: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/76962956/upstart_1.3-0ubuntu5_1.3-0ubuntu6.diff.gz [16:14] reverting to the previous configuration for rc-sysinit.conf - start on filesystem and net-device-up IFACE=lo [16:22] causes the open-iscsi init script to fire earlier? maybe - and it runs through with IFACE lo which causes it not to start [16:26] jamespage: oh, that'd explain it ;) so the bug is that it started working as designed? :) [16:26] stgraber: well maybe - I'm still scratching my head a little [16:27] but if I revert that upstart change to rc-sysinit.conf - I get a running system with open-iscsi [16:27] sorry - without [16:27] * jamespage rubs his eyes [16:28] stgraber: what I can't figure out is why its running with something other than IFACE = lo when we see the issue === yofel_ is now known as yofel [16:58] stgraber: so with that upstart change in place open-iscsi also runs for eth0 [16:59] it managed to boot but lots of io errors on the root disk [17:10] jamespage: trying on natty confirms that back then iscsid just wasn't started at all [17:10] stgraber: yep - thats what I see when I backout that upstart change - I updated the bug report. [17:10] with details [17:12] not exactly sure what's the fix for this though. I definitely don't have the required knowledge to fix iscsid to do the right thing and reverting that upstart change would be wrong too. [17:12] cjwatson, SpamapS: any opinion ^ (bug 838809) [17:12] no bot? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+bug/838809 [17:16] jamespage: a workaround would be to run "iscsiadm -m session" early in open-iscsi's init script and "exit 0" if it returns something. But that still feels wrong as I'd expect iscsid to start and just keep the existing sessions... [17:16] with iscsi root, iscsi is meant to be running from the initramfs. the main job of the init scripts is to detect that and leave well alone [17:17] cjwatson: is iscsid supposed to be running? because I never saw it running post-initramfs. The iscsi session is established and working (maintained by the kernel module) but the management daemon isn't running. [17:18] using the workaround I described before would work for cases where you have an iscsi root and no other mounted lun, if a user uses iscsi root and has additional iscsi luns defined in /etc/iscsi these won't be connected as iscsid won't be started at boot time. [17:19] if that's not something we support, then I'm more than happy to do the required two lines change to the init script and be done with that bug ;) [17:19] iscsid> erm. I don't *think* so but I'm not certain [17:19] iscsistart is a little twisty [17:19] I think we need to support that [17:21] does iscsid itself fiddle with the session that / depends on, or is it the other stuff in the init script that does that? [17:27] iscsid seems to try to logout from all sessions and login again on startup [17:27] I can reproduce that starting it with: /sbin/iscsid -d 3 -f [17:28] so it's the daemon itself doing it, not the init script [17:29] I'm not entirely sure what's generating the iscsi configuration to start with. I'd think the initramfs only needs /etc/iscsi/iscsi.initramfs and we shouldn't have any other iscsi configuration on the target system [17:31] so maybe the installer is generating some configuration files it shouldn't generate, causing open-iscsi to connect to something that's already connected instead of just leaving it alone [17:33] it's possible we're copying in duplicate configuration to the root fs that didn't matter before [17:34] you could check /target/etc/iscsi/ just before reboot into the new system [17:34] I'm trying to start iscsid with an empty /etc/iscsi now to see what it does, hopefully it should start and sit there doing nothing [17:35] argh, it doesn't... it tries to deal with the existing connection even though it's not anywhere in its config [17:36] cjwatson: http://www.stgraber.org/download/iscsi-bug.png [17:37] this is on my natty system when manually starting open-iscsi but I have the same happening on oneiric (should probably switch to it again now that we now where the problem is) [18:00] aloha [18:08] Does anyone have a test/testsuite for SE Linux that I could run on ARM (i.e. no KVM/libvirt)? [18:17] czajkowski: hello [18:33] Hello! I'm testing 11.10 but I'm experiencing a problem after running "unity --reset" and need some guidance. [18:36] unity is missing icons, the panel looks weird (a bit like old gnome panel) and the last icon on the right side of the panel is inaccessible so I cannot logout or change system-settings for example. [18:37] How can I reset everything from compiz to unity? [18:43] I've created another user and everything looks fine from this user, so it looks like something is corrupted in my current user compiz or unit settings. [18:47] I've just realized that other settings are messed up too. Keyboard was US-International and now is US. Reset gconf? [18:55] unity-panel-service(5417): Operation not permitted [18:56] I'm trying to run "gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 && unity --reset" [18:56] then I get several errors like this: unity.launcher LauncherIcon.cpp:408 Unable to load 'user-home' from icon theme
