[00:45] can i alter that somewhere [00:46] It seems like mptscsi_h can't be loaded after aic7xx, on 10.04 lts [00:58] Looks like there's a modules.order in the initrd. starting there. seems like a good place :) === medberry is now known as med_out === kentb is now known as kentb-out [02:19] Can anybody help me out with a really slow authentication problem? [02:19] whenever I log in or run sudo commands it takes almost a solid minute to respond [02:23] That's because your nss entries are trying to use ldap or something first, and failing [02:23] laptopfreek0_: pastebin output of "more /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/pam.d/common* | cat" [02:30] twb: sorry for the delay, had to setup samba to transfer the log. Here you go: http://pastebin.com/x9SDVZye [02:30] laptopfreek0_: OK, nss is fine [02:31] laptopfreek0_: the problem is probably winbind failing to talk to samba [02:31] laptopfreek0_: oh, or kerberos [02:31] still a little green with linux, how might I fix those. [02:31] laptopfreek0_: ok, run pam-auth-update and toggle stuff on-and-off until the problem goes away [02:31] laptopfreek0_: if you are a newbie you probably should steer clear of kerberos, it's HARD [02:32] not complete noob, just mostly :) [02:33] Oh crap I just locked myself out of my server... [02:33] Especially since two-thirds of the kerberos community are all "just install Windows and AD, AD is the best, linux is for longhair hippie freaks" [02:33] I should have had duel sessions open. [02:35] well I will be chrooting in from a live disc, will check back in when I regain access to my server. [02:42] I am building a server and I need access to the previous x versions of the file. Any suggestions? [02:43] example: I save a file, the current version is stored in a folder in case I decide to revert or the connection is interrupted and data is lost. [02:43] Versioning file systems come to mind, but I would love some suggestions [02:45] unfortunately there isn't anything mainstream that supports what you're after [02:45] closest thing would be etckeeper/git and such, or like you said, a versioning filesystem [02:48] it's not that the technology doesn't exist; it does [02:48] but it's just not something widely used, and therefore not widely tested [02:48] heh, it's widely used, just not in the linux world [02:48] right [02:48] many many document systems do this [02:48] but they are all specialized proporitory systems [02:48] plan 9 does this by default [02:49] and plenty of version control systems are out there [02:49] but in linux, not on the filesystem level [02:50] even windows does it to a degree with volume shadow copy [02:51] thought that works kind of the same basic way lvm does [02:51] but that's just a snapshot at scheduled intervals [02:51] which you can do with LVM or etckeeper or plenty of other things [02:52] time to use btrfs [02:52] just hope it's nothing critical [02:52] backups, backups, backups [02:53] I can't imagine backing up btrfs is sane at all [02:53] zfs atleast has a nice small backup footprint, if you use it's dump [02:53] but btrfs doesn't, so you would end up duplicating the crap out of files [02:54] using zfs now, but honestly can't tell how the performance is. [02:54] heh? how do you mean, you can't tell? [02:54] don't know of any good way of testing [02:54] that depends on so many things [02:54] what kind of performance do you need? [02:55] gaming server, so performance is key but backup is important as well... Using a zfs mirror right now [02:55] Its just a pain to try and mount in a live disc [02:55] a single mirror? [02:56] this is zfs on linux? [02:56] dual drives, so yeah single mirror (i think) [02:56] if you only have two drives, you might as well just raid 1 [02:56] ya, zfs won't give you anything, except checksum benifits [02:56] qman__: plan 9 uses versioned files by default? [02:56] that is nice, but [02:56] qman__: I thought only VMS did [02:57] would have used raid 1, but turned out my computer used software raid instead of a raid controller [02:57] There's a fuse overlay that adds versioning, but IMO using etckeeper or git is better. [02:57] I could be mistaken but I thought it did [02:57] Oh, and samba's shadow copy shit is SEXY [02:57] and I paid extra for a board with raid in it :( [02:57] laptopfreek0_, what is wrong with software raid? [02:57] heh? you payed extra for fakeraid? [02:58] yeah something like that. [02:58] got a disc with windows only driver to setup raid [02:58] heh [02:58] figured zfs was a better option [02:58] unless you have a very expensive board, onboard raid controllers are fakeraid and worthless [02:58] had two servers, they where suppost to have fakeraid on it, but they failed to set them up right [02:58] the only use for it is raid 0 on a windows desktop [02:58] I did a scan, and both disks where totally inconsistant [02:59] they reinstalled from rhel5 to rhel6, and fakeraid worked, but the servers where dog slow [02:59] reinstalled with mdadm, and all is better [02:59] because it's really just software raid with a hack, and real software raid has far more options and compatibility [02:59] qman, well, my real issue is the whole dm driver thing [03:00] it caches writes, and does them all at once [03:00] nothing like having a few thousand random writes queued up, and written all at once [03:00] with iowait of 100% for several seconds [03:00] where without it, it's sits at a nice 2% iowait, steady [03:01] same thing happens when I use dm crypted disks [03:01] heh [03:01] but yeah, unless you need the checksumming, with only two disks you won't really see the advantages of zfs [03:01] and raid 1 will be faster [03:01] if speed is a concern [03:01] New bug: #877031 in samba (main) "package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package samba is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed')" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/877031 [03:03] zfs is designed around data integrity and redundancy, aimed at keeping your data safe and accurate [03:03] and that all comes at a performance penalty [03:03] where raid 1 just writes everything to two disks [03:04] whether or not that's a problem depends entirely on your application [03:10] twd: turns out it was SMB password synchronization, but how can I still authenticate samba passwords?

[03:17] RoAkSoAx, well, clearly, but why did you do that [03:18] laptopfreek0_: well, no. If it doesn't work, then it won't work. [03:19] RoAkSoAx, no big deal, but something to fix for P [03:19] twb: ok thanks guess I will just make a few users for samba, and not verify against unix logins. Thanks so much for your help man.

I tried to use the vmxnet3 nic for the server but with it source dedicated servers wont show up in the master server list but directly connecting is possible. If someone connects manually i cant show the server info (from steam server list) and it [08:16] Well, that's more of an ESXi issue than Ubuntu issue [08:16] either a bug in ubuntu, the vmxnet3 driver module, in source dedi server or a configuration error that im unaware of [08:16] What version of ubuntu are you running? [08:17] 11.04 [08:17] And have you for some reason sat that NIC in ESXi to be 'NAT'? Or is it bridged? [08:19] its bridged [08:19] alright, great [08:20] directly connected to the vSwitch [08:20] the problem persist with vms connected to the same vSwitch [08:20] and you're able to connect via SSH/remote or connect to your game serverd directly? (just making sure) [08:21] yes [08:22] its very odd really [08:22] If you'd run the 'iptables -L' command from one of the machines, do you get an output like this? http://dpaste.org/DrkP5/ (might want to do "sudo iptables -L" if you're logged on as regular user) [08:23] Hello to all [08:23] sec [08:23] sure [08:24] I have major problems trying to get my Windows 7 machine connect to Ubuntu running domain logons [08:24] its currently running with the e1000 so it works. have to change it back [08:24] well, iptables is the firewall [08:25] so that'd be the same output with or without that driver [08:25] but it works when you're using the e1000 driver? [08:26] yes [08:26] thats the odd part [08:26] the vmxnet3 adapter would allow for lower latency [08:26] (hosting game servers after all...) [08:27] And you're having latency issues? Or are you just making whiny gamers less obsessive about their numbers? :P [08:27] im trying to figure out why the adapter doesnt work :D [08:27] * ersi remember his dial up days with 400ms playing Counter Strike [08:27] :D [08:27] out of professional curiosity [08:27] Worked fine, you whippersnappers! [08:28] Yeah :) Well, hm. [08:28] but the iptables shows exactly like that [08:28] Are you changing the driver in the machine, or the NIC in ESXi? [08:28] changing the nic in esxi [08:28] which is done [08:30] Mind pasting the output of 'lspci' from the ubuntu machine to dpaste.org for me? [08:30] it'll list all PCI* "hardware" present [08:31] the vmxnet3 adapter shows up correctly [08:31] and no conflicts [08:32] do you have the vmware tools installed in the guest? [08:32] yes and i forced it to upgrade the vmxnet3 module [08:33] Man, freggin' virtualised stuff [08:33] pain in the ass when something isn't working, and hard to tell what's up [08:33] i know :D [08:33] but its just so much more efficient [08:33] and more secure [08:34] well, it's less efficient since some thing doesn't seem to work [08:34] true :D [08:34] Tried the vmxnet2 one? Seems like there should be one of those available, maybe prior to ESXi 5.0 though.. [08:34] hi all [08:34] but if i figure it out ill be extremely satisfied [08:34] ill try it [08:35] Not to be an ass, but I'm assuming this to be completely ESXi's fault :) [08:35] im assuming it could be anything [08:35] :D [08:37] hmm [08:37] dmesg says that it recognizes the link to be 10gbps [08:38] but lshw -c network output says that the capacity is 1Gbit/s [08:39] also in comparison the clock with vmxnet3 is 33Mhz and width 32 bits compared to 66Mhz and 64 bits with e1000 [09:33] i wonder if my own ip is g-lined from the freenode network O.o [09:43] morning fellas o/ [09:47] mornin lynxman :D [09:47] Daviey: hello [10:07] hey koolhead17 [11:17] Has anyone seen something like this: http://dpaste.com/636491/ -- or know how to fix it?

[16:35] ah.. [16:35] so we have to do a libvirt-guests upstart script now? [16:35] depends on what that script does :) [16:36] libvirt-bin.libvirt-guests.init [16:36] that or delete it [16:36] "# description: This is a script for suspending active libvirt guests \ [16:36] # on shutdown and resuming them on next boot \ [16:36] # See http://libvirt.org [16:36] " [16:36] zul: python-xattr is calling for you.

[16:41] zul, so presuming we will upstartify the libvirt-guests.init script, then we can pull some code out of libvirt-bin.upstart [16:41] hallyn: right [16:42] zul, frankly i'm thinking we might jsut drop that file for now, and discuss at uds how to bes thandle it [16:42] with SpamapS and hopefully jdstrand in the room [16:43] hallyn: fine with me... [16:43] The one thing that script adds is the ability to suspend/resume the VMs. Might be worthwhile [16:43] but we dont need SpamapS ;) [16:43] :) [16:43] <_spt_> Hi folks, Could someone point me to a script I can rn at a set time to turn off the server? The mobo has a powerup timer on it but i could do with a powerdown at a set time - thanks in advance [16:47] zul, also every virsh command, while it succeeds, starts by printing out [16:47] WARNING: no socket to connect to [16:48] * jdstrand would be happy to attend the libvirt session(s). I may not have a lot to offer on that particular topic however [16:50] _spt_: simply add a cron job running 'halt' at that time [16:50] !cron [16:50] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

[16:59] Daviey, I'm not sure, probably not, but I recall you saying it was mostly for experimental stuff, so I came here to tell you :) [17:00] Ursinha: Yes, i said that you cannot request a sponsored sync'd at the moment [17:01] zul: (qa regression tests are running over here) [17:01] I don't yet trust +localpackagediffs for my sync's TBH [17:02] The beta tag alone is enough to make me run, let alone the mess it created last cycle. [17:02] Daviey, why is that? [17:02] mess? [17:02] I didn't know about that [17:02] Ursinha: There was an accidental mass-sync when it was being tested late in Oneiric cycle.

I expect this and it isn't happening. Wondering what went wrong. [18:27] drahst: log in to the vmhost and do a virsh dumpxml on your vm name [18:27] The settings are clear in xml. [18:28] yeah... I see that it's using "ide" drives [18:28] how do you install to a pre-allocated image [18:28] THat may just be for the virtual cdrom. [18:28] Should be able to just attach the image and boot it. [18:30] I guess I don't understand [18:31] I read that using qcow2 with meta preallocation is the way to go on drives for reduced I/O [18:31] but I can't figure out how to make vmbuilder or virt-install use that preallocated file for the machine's drive [18:34] anyone that knows what might be disabling cores on ubuntu natty+ on amd systems?

[18:37] drahst: just plain bridging as in use with kvm or something? [18:37] maybe it's a virtual machine which only has a few cores assigned?
