[00:00] Does anyone have experience with Orchestra and OpenStack? [00:09] Is there a way to create virtual interfaces for a bridge and assign them IPs with /etc/networ/interfaces? === Abd4llA_ is now known as Abd4llA [00:18] Hello, 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? [00:19] It boots up the BIOS fine but afterwards all I'm getting is a Information Box telling me that it's out of scan range [00:22] What kind of scan range? Did it do that before you set it up? [00:22] 46.2KHz / 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. [00:23] Ah. [00:24] You're talking about a monitor. [00:24] I haven't had a monitor attached to a server in 3 years. [00:24] I have no idea what you're talking about :-/ [00:24] (I accidentally killed the sshd and had to go to the DC to fix it.) [00:25] :( 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. [00:26] (remote) GUI doesn't need a monitor in my book :) [00:26] I know, I would much rather have it all just command line but he wants a gui so I need to make sure it happens ;( [00:27] actually, i think i just got lost [00:28] Cpt_Othello: well you can ssh in? [00:28] What's running? Kill off gdm or lightdm and startx, see what happens, watch the logs, etc. [00:33] Sorry, 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 :) [01:02] Cpt_Othello, probably an issue with your card/monitor and KMS [01:03] try booting with the nomodeset option [01:04] there really should be some kind of hotkey for save video mode [01:04] safe* [01:05] I'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? [01:06] hold left shift to get a grub menu [01:06] during the boot process [01:06] if grub doesn't display in a working mode you'll have to boot live [01:06] Noted, thanks I'll try that tomorrow [01:08] or try to modify the boot line blind [01:08] I've done that kind of thing before too [01:08] boot line blind? [01:08] do the key presses needed to modify the boot line blindly, as in without a display [01:09] I can do it with grub1, but I don't know grub2 that well [01:11] I 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 food === airtonix_ is now known as airtonix [02:03] Hello all [02:04] I'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) [02:05] actually, this may not be related now that I look at the error. [02:05] It's trying to open a connection to a PostgreSQL server and saying "could not fork new process for connection: Resource temporarily unavailable [02:09] One common thread seems to be that people get this error when they run into the process limit [02:09] ps ax | grep Z doesn't show zombie processes [02:10] ah, ps -el does show a lot of defunct processes [02:13] ... which are now gone! o.O [02:13] They were all named 'fuse' [02:30] How can I see what depends on fuse? I'm pretty sure I didn't install it on purpose [02:31] lots of things use it [02:31] NFS, SSHFS, GVFS and other GUI-mounting systems [02:31] NFS goes both ways, depending on what you install [02:32] I'm not using any of the things I saw in the reverse dependencies list (that I know of) [02:32] Does ubuntu install it by default on servers? [02:32] I don't think so, but I'm not sure [02:32] but in order to have fuse processes, you have to be using it with something [02:32] hmm I guess it'll yell at me if I try to uninstall it [02:32] i think those fuse based things require the GUI stuff right? [02:32] it doesn't run unless something mounts with it [02:33] ^ [02:33] TheEvilPhoenix: I don't think they necessarily do [02:33] But afaik I'm not using any userspace filesystems [02:35] looks like it installs ntfs-3g by default... but I'm not mounting anything with it o.O [03:01] 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" [03:42] hey guys i upgraded to ubuntu 11.10 and it deleted my network adapter [04:02] Why would I have zombie processes created and reaped 500 at a time? [04:03] I can't seem to catch them. [04:03] The one time I saw them in the process table, they were fuse processes [04:03] I uninstalled fuse, but I think I need to reboot for that to take effect [04:03] not really [04:03] only stuff that would remain is that which is loaded in RAM [04:04] once the processes end, there'd be no way to start new ones because the files aren't thre [04:04] there* [04:04] I can't seem to catch the processes though :\ [04:04] So I'm not sure what's starting them [04:06] Hmm, no processes currently running with fuse in the title [04:51] anyone know how to replace the comma with foo [04:51] I have preg_replace('#(.*),(/w+{/if})#', '$1foo$2', '}, {/if}'); [04:53] wonder if /i is a thing [04:53] nope [04:53] woops wrong chan [05:12] APC only using 30M of 128M setting, can't see why. [05:36] Question .. after installing ubuntu-orchestra-server ... what is the address for the web? i didn't get any output saying ur sever is now available at ... [06:05] Nvm figured it out [06:12] ah; apc 4 accepts 128M etc; apc 3.x does NOT. [06:45] trying to connect macos 10.7 to afp / samba shares on an ubuntu 11.10 server, it connects fine provided it doesn't need to authenticate (i.e. as a guest), but won't work when a username/password is required. Any ideas? [06:46] had it working in the past on 11.04, no luck with 11.10 though [06:56] is the a debugging output mode for the connection? [06:56] ie, look for the log file === nopf_ is now known as nopf [10:51] Hi, upgraded to 11.10 and now on boot it spends ages doing the Waiting for network configuration thing, and then when i finally get in all the interfaces (which should be static as per /etc/network/interfaces) are down... can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? :( [10:54] i have to bring them up and set their address manually each time, its as though /etc/network/interfaces is completely ignored. [10:59] piegod check this http://uksysadmin.wordpress.com/2011/10/14/upgrade-to-ubuntu-11-10-problem-waiting-for-network-configuration-then-black-screen-solution/ [11:00] could you tinyurl it? cant click links, running irssi in a tty and only have text-based browser w/no mouse :> [11:00] piegod http://goo.gl/W9fd9 [11:00] thanks [11:03] well, here goes. Will give this a try and see what happens :D [11:04] Wahay [11:04] Worked, thanks [11:04] np :) [11:04] Weird that i did an upgrade yesterday and that wasn't needed anymore [11:04] does this issue present itself on fresh installs? [11:05] Shouldn't [11:05] might just do a fresh blank install sometime soon then :V [11:05] anyway, time to move this server back downstairs, thanks again [12:14] hello, im having trouble getting ubuntu server installed to my esxi host [12:15] the install runs fine, but after that when trying to boot into the system i am greeted by the ubuntu logo/load screen thing [12:15] it proceeds to a black screen where it hangs indefinitely [12:16] left it running for a good 20 minutes and it was just flashing its cursor away the whole time [12:23] O.o is there a GUI system installed on it or is it the normal tty that's crashing? [12:24] jasef, its a bare install, so it should be booting to a term [12:24] no gnome etc [12:26] Juv1228, :| 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 anyway [12:26] i dont think its even fully booting [12:27] Does the same thing happen if you boot into recovery mode? [12:27] hmm. booting in recovery mode drops me into a shell no problem [12:28] Sorry - this touchpad quits channels on me lol. It clicks when it shouldn't [12:29] heh, keyboards alway have my vote [12:29] What happens if you boot in recovery mode and then choose to "try to continue normal boot" [12:29] :P It's the touchpad on my laptop though, I cant replace it with a keyboard. === mendel__ is now known as mendel_ [12:30] thats what i meant, try to continue normal boot works [12:30] boots the system fine [12:30] :| That's awfully weird. [12:30] just tried again with a normal boot tho. black screen [12:31] When you get the ubuntu logo up, hit escape and see if any particular error message comes up before it goes to the black screen [12:32] hmm. it seems to be something to do with kernel options [12:33] default options are "quiet splash vt.handoff=7" [12:34] remove all of them and it boots fine [12:35] O.o that's strange. I guess it's the vt.handoff that's causing the problem, but not sure [12:35] thats a new one for me, never had a problem installing ubuntu to esxi [12:36] seems to be, just tried with only it removed and it boots too [12:37] Lol, weird, I don't think my server ever had that in it's boot options [12:38] I'll ssh in and check [12:46] that took way too long [12:46] But no, I don't have that in my boot options [12:51] ya, i have no clue [12:51] but removing it worked [13:09] * RoyK added Icinga checks SMART data for all drives and just got the first message "drive is failing" :) [13:09] it's nice to see things like that reported _before_ the drive fails..... [14:09] Do 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 ? [14:13] potatoe: the old class-based networking idea is rather outdated... [14:15] ok [14:15] what about the network and broadcast lines ? are they necessary ? [14:15] dunno if the broadcast is set according to the subnet mask - test it [14:16] anyway - 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 network [14:16] but then again, most don't [14:18] ok [14:18] thx === jason is now known as jasef [15:28] Hello everone, is this the correct place to talk to someone about issues on a server? [15:31] geekd: Depends on if it's running Ubuntu Server or not :P [15:32] it's running Ubuntu server 8.04 [15:32] Oh wow [15:32] O.o seriously, geekd, I think you should upgrade to 10.04 [15:32] O-o [15:32] Someone forgot to run do-release-upgrade for a few years >.> [15:32] it's really old equipment [15:33] Trust me, 10.04 will still run on it :P [15:34] No the laptop it is on is a 1991 model 300Mhz with 48Mb and 6GB HDD [15:34] Yes [15:34] geekd: ask away [15:34] I tried starting at 10.04 ...too slow, went to 9.94 ...too slow, 8.04 seems to run decent on it [15:35] geekd: I use 8.04 on a number of servers myself [15:35] Oh wow. [15:35] I just finished upgrading my server to 11.10 last night. >.> [15:35] 8.04 will be upported until april 2013, so no reason to use anything newer unless you need newer software :P [15:35] I installed Postfix, and can receive mail just fine, When I send it however, Evolution says it sent but I never get it.... [15:36] What could be an issue to lookat [15:36] cloakable: I still have solaris 8 in production at work :P [15:36] I'm running 10.04 on my server. I can't wait till 12.04 comes out though lol [15:36] Heh [15:36] jasef: I'd wait until 12.04.1 is released :P [15:37] RoyK, Lol, most people would. I like cutting edge though [15:37] My laptop has bleeding edge all the time, running 12.04 desktop atm [15:37] geekd: hwat does mailq have to say? [15:37] Once I get this first real server doing what I want I will prolly put together a real Box for a newer release [15:37] jasef: 12.04? So what, pre-alpha? >.> [15:37] one sec [15:38] cloakable, basically, yeah. [15:38] * RoyK somewhat prefers servers to be stable :P [15:38] jasef: Ow.

Technically it is at a family members house, because they have better internet connection [15:46] I don't know there ISP's SMTP host [15:46] what ISP?

[16:06] No, the smtp daemon should use it automatically [16:07] ok well here goes nothing [16:07] I use a smarthost in postfix on my server [16:08] geekd: try telnet into the smarthost on port 25 [16:08] telnet somehost 2 [16:08] telnet somehost 25 [16:10] could not resolve geekdeity.com/25: name or service not known [16:11] geekdeity.com/25 isn't a hostname :P [16:11] geekd: and the smarthost is your ISP's SMTP server, not your own box [16:13] ok at command prompt mike@www [16:13] so www is my hostname? [16:14] what are you trying to do? [16:14] geekd: from the server, try to "telnet name.of.smtp.relay.host 25" [16:14] telnet my host 25 [16:14] oh [16:15] one sec it is doing something [16:16] first line of response is : trying 207.115.36.27... [16:16] waiting on more [16:17] geekd: http://support.netdoor.com/email/smtpauth.php [16:17] geekd: a whois lists you as connected from netdoor.com... [16:18] again my server is on a AT&T connection though I am on netdoor [16:18] ok [16:18] then check with the ISP which SMTP host to use [16:19] so I used the smtpauth.sbcglobal.net from the link cloaked sent me [16:19] can you telnet into port 25 on that machine? [16:19] if not, find another, call support [16:19] it was unable to resolve: connection timed out [16:20] that means it's not your SMTP host [16:20] hmmmm [16:21] wait if I can get into the router, would it have the smtp host info in it? [16:21] doubt it [16:21] dang [16:21] can't you just call support? [16:21] so I have to go to the family members house and call their support [16:21] it's probably on the ISP's FAQ [16:22] Don't know if they will give me that since not my account [16:22] I can try [16:22] just lie :) [16:22] or even better - tell the truth :P [16:24] I wouldn't want to cause them to lose their account.

[16:40] I guess I will have to [16:40] thanks for the help... I will let ou know what happens [16:40] :) [16:42] hmmm this site says you can't use ssl [16:43] how would I remove the ssl from postfix [16:43] geekd: postfix won't use ssl by default [16:44] the way to check is to test telnetting into port 25 [16:44] oh ok [16:44] if that port is blocked, there's no way around it unless the server in question uses another port, such as 587, like some do [16:45] do I have to reconfigure everytime or can I just try the server ....reconfigureing is getting old [16:45] you only have to reconfigure it once [16:46] rather just try telnetting it [16:46] try telnetting first [16:46] if it doesn't answer, there's no point of telling postfix to try [16:46] ok cause I have been reconfigureing very time I got a new server to try [16:47] now I feel stupid [16:47] :) [16:48] geekd: messing up is just another step in learning :) [16:51] Ahhhh while searching for support # it connected [16:52] try to send an email manually - type HELO asdf.com from: asdf@asdf.com to: your.email@somewhere.comdataasdf. [16:52] that's after telnetting into port 25 [16:53] what is the command to mail manually [16:53] that is the command [16:53] first you helo, then you mail from:, then rcpt to: [16:54] data, your message, . to end [16:54] helo command not found [16:55] inside the telnet session [16:55] erm, 'mail from' and 'rcpt to', yes [16:55] * RoyK is tired [16:56] getting 501 missing fully quailfied domin name [16:58] now getting 530 Authenication required [16:58] geekd: just try to reconfigure postfix then [16:58] oh [16:58] bad sign [16:59] try to reconfigure postfix anyway [17:00] ok [17:00] brb [17:11] still 530 Authentication required [17:13] geekd: what, exactly, does the auth log say?
