| JanC | RoyK: it's an issue with how update-grub for "grub 1" works; this should be fixed with "grub 2" though | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| RoyK | JanC: last I checked, new installs with lucid used grub 2 | 00:03 |
| JanC | grub 2 doesn't use menu.lst | 00:03 |
| RoyK | JanC: all pf the machines with this problem are installed with lucid from scrach | 00:04 |
| RoyK | all of, even | 00:04 |
| JanC | the bug you pointed to is for grub 1 & menu.lst, so if you have an issue with grub 2 it must be another bug... | 00:05 |
| JanC | RoyK: are you sure you're using grub 2? | 00:06 |

| uvirtbot | Launchpad bug 202009 in grub "update-grub not updating menu.lst" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/202009 | 00:07 |
| RoyK | JanC: 873198 is the one I'm seeing | 00:09 |
| JanC | that's talking about an upgrade, which keeps grub1 in MBR unless you install grub2 manually? | 00:09 |
| RoyK | neither of my machines are upgraded | 00:10 |
| RoyK | all basic lucid installs | 00:10 |
| JanC | I doubt this is really a duplicate | 00:10 |
| JanC | grub.cfg should never be edited manually | 00:11 |
| JanC | as all the config is elsewhere | 00:11 |
| JanC | so there is no reason for debconf to not update it? | 00:12 |
| RoyK | well, grub.cfg seems to be the thing that chooses the kernel | 00:12 |
| RoyK | and that doesn't seem to be upgraded | 00:13 |
| RoyK | or updated | 00:13 |
| JanC | grub.cfg is auto-generated by update-grub (for grub2) | 00:13 |
| RoyK | should-be-auto-generated | 00:13 |
| JanC | alle the configuration about what should go into it is under /etc | 00:13 |
| RoyK | JanC: I have a one year old grub.cfg | 00:14 |
| RoyK | on several servers | 00:14 |
| JanC | RoyK: I'm not saying there can't be a bug, I'm saying it can't be the same bug as that grub1/menu.lst bug ☺ | 00:14 |
| RoyK | agreed | 00:15 |
| JanC | so the duplicate status is wrong IMO | 00:15 |
| RoyK | yep | 00:15 |
| elz89 | Did anyone see my 'apt-get update' problem earlier on a new install on oneiric? | 00:16 |
| JanC | jdstrand: ^^^ you might want to look at that again ☺ | 00:16 |
| RoyK | JanC: how can you revoke a duplication? | 00:18 |
| JanC | jdstrand: RoyK's bug report #873198 | 00:18 |
| JanC | RoyK: I guess by pressing the edit button before the "Duplicate of bug #..." in the sidebar? | 00:20 |
| JanC | RoyK: it's possible that for some reason update-grub thinks that grub1 is still used, or whatever | 00:21 |
| RoyK | how could that be, when lucid is installed? | 00:22 |
| JanC | or for some other reason it thinks grub2 is not used | 00:22 |
| JanC | well, you can use grub2, grub1, lilo, and a couple of other bootloaders in lucid | 00:23 |
| JanC | I guess there is some logic somewhere to detect what's used, and there might be a bug somewhere in that logic (just guessing) | 00:24 |
| JanC | or there might be another reason | 00:24 |
| JanC | if your /boot is on a separate partition, you might want to make sure grub knows that | 00:25 |
| foenix | rcsheets: this is the worst day of my computing life | 00:36 |
| Patrickdk | royk, grub1 was default in lucid, till 10.04.2 I believe, then grub2 became default | 00:53 |

| al-maisan | Hello there! I have a daemon running on 3 machines (32 cores, 64 GB RAM each) and it gets restarted (via SIGHUP) on all 3 in a timespan of 5 minutes. I am trying to find out who and why triggered the restart. Any advice on that? | 09:06 |
| andol | al-maisan: logrotate script? | 09:14 |
| Halitus | Hi, Is it possible to install ubuntu server to a usb stick? what about as a persistent Live version? | 09:14 |
| al-maisan | andol: are you saying some kind of logrotate script is restarting the daemons? | 09:15 |
| andol | al-maisan: Well, I am suggesting you look into the possibility of that happening. | 09:17 |
| al-maisan | andol: I see, I will have a look. Thanks! | 09:18 |
| Halitus | Hi new question. Am i able to put the swap on a software raid array? | 09:30 |
| ersi | al-maisan: It's highly likely that it's logrotate, it usually SIGHUP's daemons when it has logrotated (so the daemon open a new fd to write its log to) | 09:33 |
| al-maisan | ersi: should I see the daemon in question mentioned somewhere in /etc/logrotate.d/** in that case? | 09:35 |
| al-maisan | what is puzzling me that when I look at /etc/logrotate.d/ there is no mention of the daemon that gets restarted (celeryd), "grep -i -r celery /etc/logrotate.d" draws a blank | 09:36 |

| Zerpy | Hia guys, I'm installing Ubuntu Server 32bit 11.10 at the moment.. Then I get to the GRUB install, and it wants me to write where the boot loader should be installed.. atm it writes "/dev/mapper" in the textbox :S | 14:19 |
| qman__ | using fakeraid? | 14:21 |
| qman__ | if so, don't | 14:21 |
| Zerpy | I made the raid0 via my bios | 14:22 |
| qman__ | turn that off and just use the software | 14:22 |
| qman__ | you _can_ use it, but it'll just make things messy, exemplified above | 14:22 |
| qman__ | and offers no advantages over mdadm | 14:23 |
| Zerpy | So when I install ubuntu server I should make the Partitions manually instead? | 14:24 |
| RoyK | Zerpy: really, software raid is better | 14:24 |
| Zerpy | which means? :p | 14:24 |
| RoyK | Zerpy: turn off that fakeraid, create partitions manually for use with raid. I usually create three partitions, same size, on each disk, one small (1GB) for /boot (ext2), one for swap (=RAM size) and the rest for / (ext4). Flag those partitions to be used for RAID, then choose "configure RAID", create three mirrors, go back, and place filesystems on the RAID devices as needed | 14:26 |
| RoyK | then again, the layout is your choice, I just posted what I usually do | 14:26 |
| Zerpy | I followed ur tip :D Thank you | 14:31 |
| Zerpy | when I did try to save the settings it said that sda3 and sdb3 couldn't run on same 'location' :S | 14:34 |

| wo0f | yo | 19:15 |
| wo0f | does 32bit use less memory to run apps? | 19:15 |
| wo0f | like would a ubuntu32 vm be better(allow more usable memory)? | 19:16 |
| qman__ | no, not really | 19:18 |
| qman__ | if you're running 32-bit applications, 64-bit requires 32-bit libraries along with 64-bit ones | 19:18 |
| qman__ | so technically it does use a little more, and makes more available, but not to any significant degree | 19:18 |
| qman__ | use whatever is best suited to your application | 19:20 |
| Patrickdk | wo0f, technically, if you app uses lots of pointers, yes, 32bit would save memory | 19:48 |
| Patrickdk | but the cost of switching from 64bit to 32bit and back normally makes it better to just stick with 64bit for everything | 19:48 |
