irxhello. i'm having problems with 2TB drive attached to 8.04 server x64. does show up as /dev/sdb, but fdisk can't handle it, nor dows it show any partitions01:23
twbDefine "can't handle it"01:24
irxUnable to read /dev/sdb01:24
irxlshw does show some info, as does dmesg01:26
irxhttp://pastebin.com/TS7swJwP01:27
irxany ideas?01:29
twbAre you running fdisk as root?01:29
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
irxyes01:29
twbDunno, then01:29
twbCould be a non-512b block device, and that is pissing it off01:30
twbYou can use MBR disk labels up to 2TiB, so a 2TB disk will be fine01:30
irxso ... no luck on getting this to work?01:32
twbI have no idea01:35
twbI haven't experienced that issue before01:35
irxaccording to manual it uses 4096 bytes per sector, is that what you meant by non-512b block device?01:39
irxi'm assuming that this drive uses the new 4k format, so could that be unsupported by the 8.04 kernel?01:45
twbCould be01:48
twbI don't know if 8.04 handles those01:48
qman__could be, I don't remember when that support was added01:48
qman__however I also recall problems with fdisk in particular, have you tried parted?01:48
qman__or cfdisk, or anything else01:49
twbMmm, IME they're all stupidly picky in different ways01:50
irx"parted /dev/sdb" just returns, nothing ...01:50
irxcfdisk also can't read the drive01:51
qman__probably too old a kernel then01:51
irxi'd love to update, but i'm using vmware server ...01:52
irxand that beast just requires me to use 8.0401:52
qman__well, provided you verify the drive works in a more recent system, there's not really anything else you can do01:53
qman__get a newer kernel, or get a drive that doesn't have 4k sectors01:54
irxdrive came straight from my other machine, running windows server 2008 r2, no problems there ...01:54
qman__if the drive is using GPT, that may also be an issue01:55
irxdon't think it's the case, dmesg shows it has 0 512b sectors01:56
irxand if i'd use gpt, fdisk would at least be able to access the drive01:56
qman__yeah01:57
irxso it's just that my 2.6.24 can't handle 4k drives and vmware won't allow me to update it. f**l01:58
irxguess i'll have to find another virtualization method then ...01:59
cjwatsonIIRC the point where WD sent me a 4k sector drive so I could make Ubuntu support it better was 9.10 or 10.04 or so01:59
cjwatsonyeah, changelogs suggest 10.0402:00
cjwatsonbefore that parted definitely didn't understand it properly02:00
qman__yeah, that's about right02:01
irxso out of luck with this drive and this kernel?02:01
qman__bear in mind that 4k sectors didn't show up until the 3TB drives did02:01
qman__even though many 1TB+ drives now use them02:01
cjwatsonI don't recall the kernel state, but the userspace was definitely not up to it in 8.0402:01
qman__I can't say without any doubt, but that's my best guess02:02
qman__you'd have to read through changelogs to know for sure02:02
cjwatsonI'm pretty certain02:02
cjwatsonsorry - it was a pretty invasive set of changes, not easily backportable02:03
irxwell yeah, who would have thought that you'd need such an old kernel with those drives ...02:04
irxi guess it's time to get comfortable with KVM02:04
irxthanks guys :)02:06
patdk-wkhmm, I ran 4k sectore disks in 9.10 without any issues02:09
patdk-wkcurrently running 10.04 on it though02:09
cjwatsonIt might have worked by then if you could get it installed, ye.02:13
cjwatson*yes02:13
* patdk-wk notes 3 out of 3 of them died a horrible death, so currently have 0 4k sector disks02:14
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
cjwatsonI have two, but one is in a USB enclosure and that doesn't pass through the topology information, and one is in a currently-dead machine.  Sigh.02:15
cjwatsonMust carve out time for some home sysadmin.02:15
SpamapScjwatson: EC2 has pretty much relieved me of all home sysadmin duties.. the only "server" I have is my WRT54G :)02:50
SpamapSall media is stored on USB drives that I plug into whichever device needs to access said media.02:50
SpamapSActually lately I don't even use those.. I just use Amazon/Netflix02:51
cjwatsonYou have a lot more bandwidth than I do02:51
SpamapSTrue, 12Mb down, 1Mb up02:51
cjwatsonThat, and I go over my charging thresholds as it is; it would be unaffordable to do everything over the network02:51
SpamapSmetered bandwidth would definitely be a problem for me too02:52
cjwatsonAnd yes, at 2Mb down it's not very exciting to put everything in the cloud02:52
SpamapSI dunno, I got rid of my home server when I got my first 1.5Mbit down/up connection02:52
SpamapSBut I wasn't doing OS development at the time02:52
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
cjwatsonSpamapS: http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php?f=145602:55
SpamapS:-D02:56
qman__eh, I could never do it that wy02:59
qman__I get mildy annoyed with gigabit03:00
qman__waiting for 10g consumer devices03:00
SpamapSqman__: what do you find yourself transferring?03:10
* SpamapS asks, while waiting for erlang's 32MB source file to upload to the ubuntu archive03:11
qman__oh, everything03:11
qman__all the normal media, and now with HD video it's a lot bigger03:12
qman__but one of the more annoying tasks is backups03:12
qman__in truth my array is far from optimal and actually the limiting factor03:13
qman__but the main point stands, no way I could deal with my stuff on 10/100, much less go without my stuff on-site03:13
SpamapSqman__: but, what actual media are you transferring?03:14
qman__like I said, everything, TV and movies, music, games, I don't use discs anymore03:15
SpamapSI don't either.. but I just stream it in off the net03:16
qman__keep all my music in FLAC, and an HD show is usually over 1GB03:16
SpamapSI do only have 8GB of music.. so I am I think odd03:17
SpamapSI went through and purged all the music I hadn't paid for about 3 years ago.03:17
qman__most things I use it for, 10/100 would be acceptable, but just enough03:18
SpamapSqman__: I'm convinced that 90% of the hard drives sold to the consumer market are used primarily to house pirated content. :)03:18
qman__but I also do a lot of fixing computers, and that means many gigs of backups03:19
qman__I won't disagree03:19
SpamapSYeah backups definitely aren't tolerable w/o Gigabit. :)03:19
qman__and I have about 6 users actually storing data here03:20
SpamapSwhich is why I have no data anymore.. my backup is U1 syncing my Photos/Documents03:20
kirklandhallyn: have you tried byobu's new feature to save and restore custom layouts?03:21
kirklandhallyn: configure your tmux however you want, with vertical and horizontal splits, etc.03:22
kirklandhallyn: and then ctrl-shift-f8, you'll be prompted to name your layout03:22
* SpamapS wanders off03:22
kirklandhallyn: and then shift-f8, you'll see a list of layouts and you'll choose one03:22
* kirkland waves at SpamapS 03:22
kirklandhallyn: it was pitti's idea03:22
* SpamapS waves back on his way to find an opener for the last Leffe Blonde Ale he just found in the fridge03:23
hallynkirkland: hm, that actually sounds good03:23
hallynkirkland: and what's more, you know who might be swayed by that?03:23
* kirkland tries not to concentrate on the word "actually"03:23
hallynpaulmck03:23
kirklandhallyn: heh :-)  he and i had a chat about something like that at uds03:24
hallynwell!  my first reaction was "why would i need that".  i'm quite the sceptic03:24
hallyni know i was there03:24
hallynand he likes to fire off his xterms in certain layouts.  byobu layouts might help him03:24
kirklandhallyn: cool, i'll reach out to him03:25
kirklandhallyn: i'm trying to get mouse-mode working well, but i'm not there yet03:25
hallyneh, maybe best to just wait and mention it in person :)03:25
kirklandhallyn: good point ;-)03:25
kirklandhallyn: though i don't know when i'll see him again with the new job03:25
hallynyou know there's a guy (paul t) working on something that might compete with byobu03:25
hallynoh, right03:25
kirklandhallyn: neat03:25
kirklandhallyn: who's paul t?03:26
twbDoes byobu speak tmux now?03:26
kirklandtwb: yes03:26
twbhuh03:26
* kirkland waits for twb's tirade...03:26
hallyntagliamonte03:26
twbWhy not just fix tmux03:26
twbSeeing as how it has an active upstream03:26
twbIncidentally, my netbook has no f8 key ;-)03:27
hallynafter all i would prefer dvtm to tmux's panes if only it would do scrollbar03:27
twbAnd can't type shift+<function key> in fbcon anyway03:27
kirklandhallyn: what's it called?03:27
kirklandtwb: yeah, tmux is very active, that's nice03:27
hallyni forget, he keeps renaming it, but look through planet.ubuntu.com, he keeps mentioning it there03:27
hallynah yes rokkaku03:28
hallynrolling his own all the way down to an ansi escape library03:28
kirklandhallyn: i only see one post, http://blog.pault.ag/tagged/rokkaku03:30
hallynhe had an older one when it was all called shibuya i think03:30
hallynhttp://blog.pault.ag/post/12642018666/silly-little-project-activity-for-this-week03:31
kirklandtwb: what are your blocking issues for tmux?  I know you were complaining about it earlier this week...03:31
* hallyn out03:32
twbhallyn: cough03:33
twbkirkland: the main ones are in http://cyber.com.au/~twb/.tmux.conf03:34
twbkirkland: bottom line is I couldn't make it do everything I do in screen, in an afternoon of effort03:34
twbi.e. inertia03:34
twbIf I spent a couple of weekends I probably could, with some C patching, but ICBF and screen is already installed on every box I have to babysit, so it would be a bit like learning zsh or dvorak03:35
kirklandtwb: interesting;  I had to solve a few of those same problems in byobu03:42
kirklandtwb: particularly the lack of separate refresh frequencies for status items03:42
twbHow did you do it?03:42
kirklandtwb: which i solved with a cache based approach03:42
twbYeah, figured :-)03:42
kirklandtwb: not many other options03:43
twbHTFS03:43
kirklandtwb: but i retrofited that to work with both screen and tmux03:43
kirklandtwb: there is a nice upshot though03:43
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
kirklandtwb: which is that if you have multiple byobu/screen or byobu/tmux sessions03:43
kirklandtwb: they can all share the same cache file03:44
kirklandtwb: and each cache is updated at its own defined frequency03:44
twbMeh03:44
kirklandtwb: it's quite functional and comparatively efficient03:44
twbIncidentally that's that I did as a workaround too03:44
twbimapbiff (using IMAP IDLE) writes to a file; screen tails -f it, byobbu poll's it with tail -103:45
twbWhereas before screen just ran imapbiff directly03:45
kirklandtwb: the two main parts of the profile are:03:45
kirklandtwb: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kirkland/byobu/trunk/view/head:/usr/share/byobu/profiles/tmux03:46
kirklandtwb: and03:46
kirklandtwb: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kirkland/byobu/trunk/view/head:/usr/share/byobu/keybindings/f-keys.tmux03:46
kirkland(excuse LP's bad color coding)03:46
twbI don't get colour anyway03:47
twbI think tmux would've been better off just using liblua for its config files, tho03:49
twbThere's a screen git branch that does that03:49

koolhead11hey uksysadmin .10:03
uksysadminso I got an answer from the OS team meeting regarding updates... there's gonna be a 2011.3.1 release of Diablo soon10:05
twbuksysadmin: uh, are you in the wrong channel?10:06
uksysadminnot really - discussing OpenStack Ubuntu packages on my 11.10 server is valid isn't it?10:07
koolhead11uksysadmin: sounds good. i am not touching OS till essex comes, not interested in getting frustrated anymore10:07
koolhead11twb: hello there10:07
twbuksysadmin: fair enough10:07
twbI guessed "OS Diablo" was some plan9 knockoff or something :P10:08
koolhead11twb: :P10:08
koolhead11lynxman: hola10:08

uksysadminhow goes it?10:19
Davieyuksysadmin: Not too bad.. How closely are you following the stable branches?10:19
* rbasak looks10:19
uksysadminquite - as we're not insane enouugh to touch Diablo in production, its not much of a priority - but its good for my sanity doing stuff that should work10:20
uksysadminwhat's the plan for a bug fix set of packages coming to 11.10?10:20
rbasakDaviey: how many would be sensible?10:21
=== gustav_ is now known as beerbro
Davieyuksysadmin: Well.. zul and myself are on the openstack stable team.  We are currently looking at how best to backport it to Oneiric.10:22

Daviey(almost!)10:22
Davieyrbasak: *shrug* :), for a release team perspective - i was just concerned so many are in unassigned state, and wanted to shrink the list :)10:23

* uksysadmin has a list of work as long as his arm for koolhead11 if he's that keen - shame not Ubuntu related10:32
* uksysadmin is just firing up a Precise VM in prep for that!10:32

uksysadminahh, yes - I promised that didn't I?10:36
uksysadminwhen I work it out - I'll let you know :p10:36
* uksysadmin thinks installing everything under / is underrated10:37
* koolhead11 wants to write blog on cobbler/ubuntu. 10:37
koolhead11uksysadmin: but what i have realized is this kickstart file its very perticular about syntax and spaces10:38
uksysadminis that Python based too!?10:39

querierIs there a difference between ubuntu dekstop and server edition regarding the "startup" behaviour ?11:08
jamespagequerier, there are some differences, yes11:28
jamespagequerier, specifically which jobs do you want to add?11:29
querierjamespage: for example , does ubuntu server use /etc/inittab ? Im having problems with /etc/init/<job>.confs11:30
jamespagequerier: no - both desktop and server use upstart as the init system11:30
jamespageyou can still install regular init scripts /etc/init.d11:31
jamespagewhat issues are you having creating upstart configurations?11:31
queriercreating is no problem...let me exaplain11:31
querierjamespage: on a (ubuntu desktop running apache et.c) livecd, that I produced, the initctl start <job> does not seem to work.11:33
querierjamespage: on the host  system which is equal it works jsut fine. (I used relinux to make the live cd)11:33
jamespagequerier, do you get anything in /var/log/syslog?11:34
uksysadminI'm just installing Essex-2 on Precise and doing my usual: apt-get install -y rabbitmq-server nova-api nova-objectstore nova-scheduler nova-network nova-compute glance qemu unzip it is pulling in X11 deps... what uses X11 - what is the easiest way of finding that out? (It never used to...)11:34
jamespagequerier: you can also up the logging level by running sudo initctl log-priority debug11:35
querierjamespage: I just looked into the /var/log/syslog it does not tell me anthing about my attempts to start things.11:39
querierjamespage: now this was added to. (root) CMD (  [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -depth -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) ! -execdir fuser -s {} 2>/dev/null \; -delete)11:42
querierjamespage: I dont understand what the maxdepth means?11:42
jamespagequerier, only descend to one level of subdirectories when executing find11:43
querierjamespage: ic.11:44
teweaiam system admin one osf serevr iam using ubuntu to my server and in my serevr i cant acess it the page remotly ?it works somtime and after short of time it says"ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved" and second thing i installed ssh allradey but i cant aces it remotly to the server11:50
teweais there any body who can asssist me?11:50
TeTeTtewea: do you have console access to the system if ssh doesn't work?11:55
jamespageDaviey: minimal virtual grew again today11:56
teweaTeTeT:console means? by the way i can aces it even graphically11:57
TeTeTtewea: graphically is as good as console :)11:58
teweaTeTeT:ok11:58
TeTeTtewea: is there a firewall installed on the system? can you ssh localhost from it?11:58
teweaTeTeT:yeah it works12:00
TeTeTtewea: with /sbin/ifconfig you can find out your ip address, try that instead of localhost12:00
teweaTeTeT:yeah it works even when iam typing by it ipadress12:02
TeTeTtewea: hmm, what happens when you ssh from the outside to your server? can you ping it?12:03
teweaTeTeT:even this one is working proporly12:05
querierjamespage: the output php: :trying[sudo /sbin/initctl start id_._name] NOTHING. the job is /etc/init/id_._name.conf12:06
TeTeTtewea: ok, that's good. now with that being ok, onto the webpage12:07
TeTeTtewea: but wait a second - if something over the network works one time and not the other - is the assigned ip maybe taken already? E.g. two systems share the same ip address12:07
teweaTeTeT:but i can't accces it to the web page12:08
TeTeTtewea: is there some sort of network monitor running that could detect that?12:08
TeTeTtewea: can you access from the server via 'w3m http://localhost'12:08
teweaTeTeT:but i can't accces it to the web page it says"ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved"12:09
TeTeTtewea: is there a webserver running on the server at all? what's the output of netstat -ntaup | grep 8012:10
jamespagequerier, I need some more context to help - is php trying to run the start command?12:12
querierjamespage: yes it is. and as the correct user.12:12
querierjamespage: expected is " <job> start/running process_id"12:13
jamespagequerier, anything when you up the logging level with sudo initctl log-priority debug?12:14
jamespagein (/var/log/syslog) that is12:14
querierjamespage: Ihave sent the only output I found regarding the certain job.12:20
jamespagequerier, and you get nothing else when you run sudo /sbin/initctl start id_._name ?12:21
querierjamespage: if I do it by hand (user) everything is fine.12:22
teweaTeTeT: it says it established12:22
TeTeTtewea: so, what does w3m http://localhost do from the server commandline?12:23
querierjamespage: oh. when I do it now i am asked the password, which should not be, according to sudoers file.12:25
jamespagequerier, thats probably your issue; it may be failing silently under php12:25
teweaTeTeT: it says it works12:25
jamespagequerier: hence no syslog output12:25
TeTeTtewea: ok, so from the remote computer you can ssh to the server, but not access the webpage?12:26
querierjamespage: hmm yes seems so. sudoeres:[ user   ALL = NOPASSWD:  ... /sbin/initctl ]12:27
teweaTeTeT: from the rmote computer i can acees the web page but after some minute when i refresh the browser it says"ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved" and complutly  i cant ssh it12:28
TeTeTtewea: you sure the server has a unique ip address?12:30
teweaTeTeT: yeah12:31
teweaTeTeT: but how can i make it shure it have unique ip adress12:31
TeTeTtewea: do you have access to another system in the same LAN?12:32
teweaTeTeT: yeah12:32
TeTeTtewea: ping the server, check sudo arp -a for the mac to ip assignment, repeat that every 10 mins and see if the mac sometimes changes12:33
TeTeTtewea: there should be more sophisticated tools, but I'm not aware of any12:33
cariboulynxman: remember when I told you that grub wasn't able to boot with /boot as XFS ?12:45
lynxmancaribou: I do I do :)12:46
cariboulynxman: well, I was wrong; it's the way I moved /boot from ext2 to XFS that was wrong12:46
cariboulynxman: rebuilding a brand new VM with a native XFS /boot works12:47
lynxmancaribou: I was quite certain that grub supported xfs, not so sure about jfs12:47
querierjamespage: hmm just now I retryied and it worked doing it by hand without being asked for password.12:47
lynxmancaribou: cool :)12:47
cariboulynxman: I'll tell  you in a minute, I'm testing that now12:47
lynxmancaribou: cool12:47
jamespagequerier: you sudo session remains intact for a bit - so you will not be asked everytime12:47
cariboulynxman: but I just can't figure out how to move from on FS type on /boot to another without rebuilding the whole VM12:47
cariboulynxman: there must be hooks in grub to tell it that the FS has changed and that grub.cfg needs to be changed, but I haven't found yet12:48
lynxmancaribou: maybe reinstalling grub might help?12:49
lynxmancaribou: that's what I would do a least12:49
cariboulynxman: well update-grub doesn't seem to work12:49
querierJamespage:But I did not enter the user password. I did root$ su user . user$ sudo /sbininitctl start job. now12:51

smoserMadkiss, 2 things regarding your 11.10 image20:31
jca1981does halt shutdown my services corectly?20:31
smosera.) you should use the .img file rather than the .tar.gz20:32
smoserb.) if for some reason you want the .tar.gz file, you can use a "loader kernel" which would get you booting with an initramfs.20:32
smoser "loader kernel" == http://people.canonical.com/~smoser/lucid-loaders/ which basically works as a bootloader to find kernel/ramdisk inside image.20:33
Madkisssmoser: AIUI, these .tar.gz files provided by utlemming are supposed to be installable with cloud-publish-tarball, aren't they?20:33
smoserMadkiss, yes, they are. its a bug, no doubt. but for 11.10 and 11.04, the .img file is superior.20:35
smoserand you can publish that with "cloud-publish-image" which has as-simple an interface.20:35
Madkissgreat, thanks for the hint!20:36
mattrobenoltHey, any advice for adjusting the boot message after all of the startup scripts have been run? I don't even really know what it's called, but I basically want what you see when you login with the /etc/motd to be displayed on boot without logging in first.20:43
mattrobenoltI'm bundling up a OVF and want some information displayed on boot, like the eth0 address and other misc things.20:43
koolhead17smoser: hello there20:44

pythonirc1011what am i doing wrong?20:44
smoserkoolhead17, hey.20:45
pythonirc1011I think it might have been apt-get update...checking again...20:46
smosermattrobenolt, i think /etc/issue20:46
mattrobenoltsmoser: Can I populate that with dynamic data on boot? Or I guess I could hook in a little startup script to write the file on boot, correct?20:47
pythonirc1011yup that was it20:47
mattrobenoltHow exactly is the /etc/motd generated on login? This is new to me, coming from Debian land.20:47
smosermattrobenolt, that is writtten every time getty runs (i think)20:48
smosers/written/written to the getty/20:48
smoseri think you could update it on boot, yes.20:49
smoser/etc/motd is dynamic, see man 'update-motd'20:49
mattrobenoltOk, so I could essentially write out to /etc/issue with a startup script, and it should be solid.20:49
smoserbut it is only written on login20:49
smosermattrobenolt, you might be able to tie into the starting of a getting via upstart (start on starting tty1) or something.20:50
mattrobenoltOh my, there's a whole update-motd.d scripts folder, haha20:50
mattrobenoltsmoser: That's pretty nice. Anything similar for /etc/issue ? Like an update-issue -esque script?20:51
smosermattrobenolt, no.20:58
