Cpt_OthelloHello, I just tried to install ubuntu-server and when it boots up all I get is "Out of Scan Range". is there anything i can do at this point to get it to work? Any way to at at least get to a terminal of some sort?00:18
Cpt_OthelloIt boots up the BIOS fine but afterwards all I'm getting is a Information Box telling me that it's out of scan range00:19
jMCgWhat kind of scan range? Did it do that before you set it up?00:22
Cpt_Othello46.2KHz / 86Hz, I used to have Cent6 and then windows server 2008 on it before. This is the first time that I've seen it do this.00:22
jMCgAh.00:23
jMCgYou're talking about a monitor.00:24
jMCgI haven't had a monitor attached to a server in 3 years.00:24
jMCgI have no idea what you're talking about :-/00:24
jMCg(I accidentally killed the sshd and had to go to the DC to fix it.)00:24
Cpt_Othello:( ok thanks for trying. Boss wants me to set it up as a streaming media server and wants to be able to remote into it with a gui so I'm just sort of bumbling along as I try to figure this out.00:25
jMCg(remote) GUI doesn't need a monitor in my book :)00:26
Cpt_OthelloI know, I would much rather have it all just command line but he wants a gui so I need to make sure it happens ;(00:26
Cpt_Othelloactually, i think i just got lost00:27
jMCgCpt_Othello: well you can ssh in?00:28
jMCgWhat's running? Kill off gdm or lightdm and startx, see what happens, watch the logs, etc.00:28
Cpt_OthelloSorry, this is basically my first time dealing with servers and am learning everything from scratch as I go so I'll just keep looking things up. The joys of free family labor. Thanks for your help :)00:33
qman__Cpt_Othello, probably an issue with your card/monitor and KMS01:02
qman__try booting with the nomodeset option01:03
qman__there really should be some kind of hotkey for save video mode01:04
qman__safe*01:04
Cpt_OthelloI'm not at the office anymore so I don't have access to the machine atm :( I've also been looking around to find the key to get to some kind of command line boot mode but keep coming up short. Is there some key I can press to get to ubuntu's boot options?01:05
qman__hold left shift to get a grub menu01:06
qman__during the boot process01:06
qman__if grub doesn't display in a working mode you'll have to boot live01:06
Cpt_OthelloNoted, thanks I'll try that tomorrow01:06
qman__or try to modify the boot line blind01:08
qman__I've done that kind of thing before too01:08
Cpt_Othelloboot line blind?01:08
qman__do the key presses needed to modify the boot line blindly, as in without a display01:08
qman__I can do it with grub1, but I don't know grub2 that well01:09
Cpt_OthelloI don't think that'll work out too well on my part. I'm probably going to end up trying to ssh into it with a different monitor if anything. Thanks for your help :) going to afk for food01:11

josePhoenixHello all02:03
josePhoenixI've got a somewhat odd issue... I'm using unix sockets fairly extensively internally (though there should only be about 40 more in use than on a usual system)02:04
josePhoenixactually, this may not be related now that I look at the error.02:05
josePhoenixIt's trying to open a connection to a PostgreSQL server and saying "could not fork new process for connection: Resource temporarily unavailable02:05
josePhoenixOne common thread seems to be that people get this error when they run into the process limit02:09
josePhoenixps ax | grep Z doesn't show zombie processes02:09
josePhoenixah, ps -el does show a lot of defunct processes02:10
josePhoenix... which are now gone! o.O02:13
josePhoenixThey were all named 'fuse'02:13
josePhoenixHow can I see what depends on fuse? I'm pretty sure I didn't install it on purpose02:30
qman__lots of things use it02:31
qman__NFS, SSHFS, GVFS and other GUI-mounting systems02:31
qman__NFS goes both ways, depending on what you install02:31
josePhoenixI'm not using any of the things I saw in the reverse dependencies list (that I know of)02:32
josePhoenixDoes ubuntu install it by default on servers?02:32
qman__I don't think so, but I'm not sure02:32
qman__but in order to have fuse processes, you have to be using it with something02:32
josePhoenixhmm I guess it'll yell at me if I try to uninstall it02:32
TheEvilPhoenixi think those fuse based things require the GUI stuff right?02:32
qman__it doesn't run unless something mounts with it02:32
TheEvilPhoenix^02:33
josePhoenixTheEvilPhoenix: I don't think they necessarily do02:33
josePhoenixBut afaik I'm not using any userspace filesystems02:33
josePhoenixlooks like it installs ntfs-3g by default... but I'm not mounting anything with it o.O02:35
A_B_Q: I upgraded a very standard server installation running Samba server with no GUI to 11.10. Now the network doesn't start giving me the error "Unable to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: connection refused"03:01
AnGrYfUrByhey guys i upgraded to ubuntu 11.10 and it deleted my network adapter03:42
josePhoenixWhy would I have zombie processes created and reaped 500 at a time?04:02
josePhoenixI can't seem to catch them.04:03
josePhoenixThe one time I saw them in the process table, they were fuse processes04:03
josePhoenixI uninstalled fuse, but I think I need to reboot for that to take effect04:03
qman__not really04:03
qman__only stuff that would remain is that which is loaded in RAM04:03
qman__once the processes end, there'd be no way to start new ones because the files aren't thre04:04
qman__there*04:04
josePhoenixI can't seem to catch the processes though :\04:04
josePhoenixSo I'm not sure what's starting them04:04
josePhoenixHmm, no processes currently running with fuse in the title04:06

Juv1228hello, im having trouble getting ubuntu server installed to my esxi host12:14
Juv1228the install runs fine, but after that when trying to boot into the system i am greeted by the ubuntu logo/load screen thing12:15
Juv1228it proceeds to a black screen where it hangs indefinitely12:15
Juv1228left it running for a good 20 minutes and it was just flashing its cursor away the whole time12:16
jasefO.o is there a GUI system installed on it or is it the normal tty that's crashing?12:23
Juv1228jasef, its a bare install, so it should be booting to a term12:24
Juv1228no gnome etc12:24
jasefJuv1228, :| Dunno what to suggest, if it was a gui, you could try ctrl+alt+f1 or something, but I doubt that'd help on a system that's meant to boot to tty1 anyway12:26
Juv1228i dont think its even fully booting12:26
jasefDoes the same thing happen if you boot into recovery mode?12:27
Juv1228hmm. booting in recovery mode drops me into a shell no problem12:27
jasefSorry - this touchpad quits channels on me lol. It clicks when it shouldn't12:28
Juv1228heh, keyboards alway have my vote12:29
jasefWhat happens if you boot in recovery mode and then choose to "try to continue normal boot"12:29
jasef:P It's the touchpad on my laptop though, I cant replace it with a keyboard.12:29
=== mendel__ is now known as mendel_
Juv1228thats what i meant, try to continue normal boot works12:30
Juv1228boots the system fine12:30
jasef:| That's awfully weird.12:30
Juv1228just tried again with a normal boot tho. black screen12:30
jasefWhen you get the ubuntu logo up, hit escape and see if any particular error message comes up before it goes to the black screen12:31
Juv1228hmm. it seems to be something to do with kernel options12:32
Juv1228default options are "quiet splash vt.handoff=7"12:33
Juv1228remove all of them and it boots fine12:34
jasefO.o that's strange. I guess it's the vt.handoff that's causing the problem, but not sure12:35
Juv1228thats a new one for me, never had a problem installing ubuntu to esxi12:35
Juv1228seems to be, just tried with only it removed and it boots too12:36
jasefLol, weird, I don't think my server ever had that in it's boot options12:37
jasefI'll ssh in and check12:38
jasefthat took way too long12:46
jasefBut no, I don't have that in my boot options12:46
Juv1228ya, i have no clue12:51
Juv1228but removing it worked12:51

potatoeDo I really need anything other than netmask and address when defining a static IP in network/interfaces ? It seems to me that broadcast and network can be determined based on the subnet mask and address, and gateway and DNS are only needed if i want a DNS or gateway available to the machine. The netmask should automatically assume the older class a, class b and class c networks, no ?14:09
RoyKpotatoe: the old class-based networking idea is rather outdated...14:13
potatoeok14:15
potatoewhat about the network and broadcast lines ? are they necessary ?14:15
RoyKdunno if the broadcast is set according to the subnet mask - test it14:15
RoyKanyway - it shouldn't matter much - if broadcast is set to 255.255.255.255, it'll still work, but might be non-optimal if you have different IP subnets on the same physical network14:16
RoyKbut then again, most don't14:16

geekdoh ok16:44
RoyKif that port is blocked, there's no way around it unless the server in question uses another port, such as 587, like some do16:44

RoyKyou only have to reconfigure it once16:45
geekdrather just try telnetting it16:46
RoyKtry telnetting first16:46
