[00:05] New bug: #905029 in php5 (main) "unexpected end-of-file" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/905029 === EvilResistance is now known as Resistance === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [01:23] hello. 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 partitions [01:24] Define "can't handle it" [01:24] Unable to read /dev/sdb [01:26] lshw does show some info, as does dmesg [01:27] http://pastebin.com/TS7swJwP [01:29] any ideas? [01:29] Are you running fdisk as root? === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [01:29] yes [01:29] Dunno, then [01:30] Could be a non-512b block device, and that is pissing it off [01:30] You can use MBR disk labels up to 2TiB, so a 2TB disk will be fine [01:32] so ... no luck on getting this to work? [01:35] I have no idea [01:35] I haven't experienced that issue before [01:39] according to manual it uses 4096 bytes per sector, is that what you meant by non-512b block device? [01:45] i'm assuming that this drive uses the new 4k format, so could that be unsupported by the 8.04 kernel? [01:48] Could be [01:48] I don't know if 8.04 handles those [01:48] could be, I don't remember when that support was added [01:48] however I also recall problems with fdisk in particular, have you tried parted? [01:49] or cfdisk, or anything else [01:50] Mmm, IME they're all stupidly picky in different ways [01:50] "parted /dev/sdb" just returns, nothing ... [01:51] cfdisk also can't read the drive [01:51] probably too old a kernel then [01:52] i'd love to update, but i'm using vmware server ... [01:52] and that beast just requires me to use 8.04 [01:53] well, provided you verify the drive works in a more recent system, there's not really anything else you can do [01:54] get a newer kernel, or get a drive that doesn't have 4k sectors [01:54] drive came straight from my other machine, running windows server 2008 r2, no problems there ... [01:55] if the drive is using GPT, that may also be an issue [01:56] don't think it's the case, dmesg shows it has 0 512b sectors [01:56] and if i'd use gpt, fdisk would at least be able to access the drive [01:57] yeah [01:58] so it's just that my 2.6.24 can't handle 4k drives and vmware won't allow me to update it. f**l [01:59] guess i'll have to find another virtualization method then ... [01:59] IIRC 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 so [02:00] yeah, changelogs suggest 10.04 [02:00] before that parted definitely didn't understand it properly [02:01] yeah, that's about right [02:01] so out of luck with this drive and this kernel? [02:01] bear in mind that 4k sectors didn't show up until the 3TB drives did [02:01] even though many 1TB+ drives now use them [02:01] I don't recall the kernel state, but the userspace was definitely not up to it in 8.04 [02:02] I can't say without any doubt, but that's my best guess [02:02] you'd have to read through changelogs to know for sure [02:02] I'm pretty certain [02:03] sorry - it was a pretty invasive set of changes, not easily backportable [02:04] well yeah, who would have thought that you'd need such an old kernel with those drives ... [02:04] i guess it's time to get comfortable with KVM [02:06] thanks guys :) [02:09] hmm, I ran 4k sectore disks in 9.10 without any issues [02:09] currently running 10.04 on it though [02:13] It might have worked by then if you could get it installed, ye. [02:13] *yes [02:14] * patdk-wk notes 3 out of 3 of them died a horrible death, so currently have 0 4k sector disks === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [02:15] I 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] Must carve out time for some home sysadmin. [02:50] cjwatson: EC2 has pretty much relieved me of all home sysadmin duties.. the only "server" I have is my WRT54G :) [02:50] all media is stored on USB drives that I plug into whichever device needs to access said media. [02:51] Actually lately I don't even use those.. I just use Amazon/Netflix [02:51] You have a lot more bandwidth than I do [02:51] True, 12Mb down, 1Mb up [02:51] That, and I go over my charging thresholds as it is; it would be unaffordable to do everything over the network [02:52] metered bandwidth would definitely be a problem for me too [02:52] And yes, at 2Mb down it's not very exciting to put everything in the cloud [02:52] I dunno, I got rid of my home server when I got my first 1.5Mbit down/up connection [02:52] But I wasn't doing OS development at the time === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [02:55] SpamapS: http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php?f=1456 [02:56] :-D [02:59] eh, I could never do it that wy [03:00] I get mildy annoyed with gigabit [03:00] waiting for 10g consumer devices [03:10] qman__: what do you find yourself transferring? [03:11] * SpamapS asks, while waiting for erlang's 32MB source file to upload to the ubuntu archive [03:11] oh, everything [03:12] all the normal media, and now with HD video it's a lot bigger [03:12] but one of the more annoying tasks is backups [03:13] in truth my array is far from optimal and actually the limiting factor [03:13] but the main point stands, no way I could deal with my stuff on 10/100, much less go without my stuff on-site [03:14] qman__: but, what actual media are you transferring? [03:15] like I said, everything, TV and movies, music, games, I don't use discs anymore [03:16] I don't either.. but I just stream it in off the net [03:16] keep all my music in FLAC, and an HD show is usually over 1GB [03:17] I do only have 8GB of music.. so I am I think odd [03:17] I went through and purged all the music I hadn't paid for about 3 years ago. [03:18] most things I use it for, 10/100 would be acceptable, but just enough [03:18] qman__: I'm convinced that 90% of the hard drives sold to the consumer market are used primarily to house pirated content. :) [03:19] but I also do a lot of fixing computers, and that means many gigs of backups [03:19] I won't disagree [03:19] Yeah backups definitely aren't tolerable w/o Gigabit. :) [03:20] and I have about 6 users actually storing data here [03:20] which is why I have no data anymore.. my backup is U1 syncing my Photos/Documents [03:21] hallyn: have you tried byobu's new feature to save and restore custom layouts? [03:22] hallyn: configure your tmux however you want, with vertical and horizontal splits, etc. [03:22] hallyn: and then ctrl-shift-f8, you'll be prompted to name your layout [03:22] * SpamapS wanders off [03:22] hallyn: and then shift-f8, you'll see a list of layouts and you'll choose one [03:22] * kirkland waves at SpamapS [03:22] hallyn: it was pitti's idea [03:23] * SpamapS waves back on his way to find an opener for the last Leffe Blonde Ale he just found in the fridge [03:23] kirkland: hm, that actually sounds good [03:23] kirkland: 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] paulmck [03:24] hallyn: heh :-) he and i had a chat about something like that at uds [03:24] well! my first reaction was "why would i need that". i'm quite the sceptic [03:24] i know i was there [03:24] and he likes to fire off his xterms in certain layouts. byobu layouts might help him [03:25] hallyn: cool, i'll reach out to him [03:25] hallyn: i'm trying to get mouse-mode working well, but i'm not there yet [03:25] eh, maybe best to just wait and mention it in person :) [03:25] hallyn: good point ;-) [03:25] hallyn: though i don't know when i'll see him again with the new job [03:25] you know there's a guy (paul t) working on something that might compete with byobu [03:25] oh, right [03:25] hallyn: neat [03:26] hallyn: who's paul t? [03:26] Does byobu speak tmux now? [03:26] twb: yes [03:26] huh [03:26] * kirkland waits for twb's tirade... [03:26] tagliamonte [03:26] Why not just fix tmux [03:26] Seeing as how it has an active upstream [03:27] Incidentally, my netbook has no f8 key ;-) [03:27] after all i would prefer dvtm to tmux's panes if only it would do scrollbar [03:27] And can't type shift+ in fbcon anyway [03:27] hallyn: what's it called? [03:27] twb: yeah, tmux is very active, that's nice [03:27] i forget, he keeps renaming it, but look through planet.ubuntu.com, he keeps mentioning it there [03:28] ah yes rokkaku [03:28] rolling his own all the way down to an ansi escape library [03:30] hallyn: i only see one post, http://blog.pault.ag/tagged/rokkaku [03:30] he had an older one when it was all called shibuya i think [03:31] http://blog.pault.ag/post/12642018666/silly-little-project-activity-for-this-week [03:31] twb: what are your blocking issues for tmux? I know you were complaining about it earlier this week... [03:32] * hallyn out [03:33] hallyn: cough [03:34] kirkland: the main ones are in http://cyber.com.au/~twb/.tmux.conf [03:34] kirkland: bottom line is I couldn't make it do everything I do in screen, in an afternoon of effort [03:34] i.e. inertia [03:35] If 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 dvorak [03:42] twb: interesting; I had to solve a few of those same problems in byobu [03:42] twb: particularly the lack of separate refresh frequencies for status items [03:42] How did you do it? [03:42] twb: which i solved with a cache based approach [03:42] Yeah, figured :-) [03:43] twb: not many other options [03:43] HTFS [03:43] twb: but i retrofited that to work with both screen and tmux [03:43] twb: there is a nice upshot though === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [03:43] twb: which is that if you have multiple byobu/screen or byobu/tmux sessions [03:44] twb: they can all share the same cache file [03:44] twb: and each cache is updated at its own defined frequency [03:44] Meh [03:44] twb: it's quite functional and comparatively efficient [03:44] Incidentally that's that I did as a workaround too [03:45] imapbiff (using IMAP IDLE) writes to a file; screen tails -f it, byobbu poll's it with tail -1 [03:45] Whereas before screen just ran imapbiff directly [03:45] twb: the two main parts of the profile are: [03:46] twb: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kirkland/byobu/trunk/view/head:/usr/share/byobu/profiles/tmux [03:46] twb: and [03:46] twb: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kirkland/byobu/trunk/view/head:/usr/share/byobu/keybindings/f-keys.tmux [03:46] (excuse LP's bad color coding) [03:47] I don't get colour anyway [03:49] I think tmux would've been better off just using liblua for its config files, tho [03:49] There's a screen git branch that does that [04:06] New bug: #905099 in ipxe (main) "package kvm-ipxe 1.0.0+git-2.149b50-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/qemu/pxe-ne2k_isa.rom', which is also in package ipxe 1.0.0+git-2.149b50-1ubuntu2" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/905099 === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === bladernr_afk is now known as bladernr_ [09:10] hi [09:11] i have my server with 2 hd, and 2 raid partitions (/boot and /) [09:11] my mysql didn't started, and searching for more info, i found there was a problem with permissions in my filesystem [09:12] when i looked the filesystem i found some files with ?????????? info instead of permissions, inode and so on [09:12] so i made a fsck /dev/md2 [09:12] no my system does not reboot [09:12] and says that there are no partition on /dev/md2 [09:13] what can i do? [09:13] pastebin /proc/mdstat [09:14] twb: it's fine, both mds are UU [09:14] i would like to know what could cause this problem [09:14] both as in md0 and md1, or md2 ? [09:14] in both md1 and md2 [09:15] there wasn't md0 [09:15] Dunno why fsck is sad then [09:15] now when i boot my server it shows only a initramfs console [09:15] but i cannot access to fsck [09:15] Did you read the error message at that console? [09:16] no, i was working using ssh console [09:16] but now i have to work using phisical console [09:17] i'm gonna try to use a usb linux, give me 10mins, [09:17] i'll be back === bladernr_ is now known as bladernr_afk [09:34] http://i.imgur.com/2I6LQ.jpg :) [09:42] matti: please don't post offtopic here [09:44] oCean: Heh, sorry. [09:54] hi all [10:02] morning koolhead11 [10:03] hey uksysadmin . [10:05] so I got an answer from the OS team meeting regarding updates... there's gonna be a 2011.3.1 release of Diablo soon [10:06] uksysadmin: uh, are you in the wrong channel? [10:07] not really - discussing OpenStack Ubuntu packages on my 11.10 server is valid isn't it? [10:07] uksysadmin: sounds good. i am not touching OS till essex comes, not interested in getting frustrated anymore [10:07] twb: hello there [10:07] uksysadmin: fair enough [10:08] I guessed "OS Diablo" was some plan9 knockoff or something :P [10:08] twb: :P [10:08] lynxman: hola [10:17] rbasak: Please can you sign up for some WI's regarding ARM, at the bottom of: [10:17] http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-precise/group/topic-precise-servercloud-service-orchestration.html [10:18] hey uksysadmin o/ [10:18] Hi Daviey [10:19] how goes it? [10:19] uksysadmin: Not too bad.. How closely are you following the stable branches? [10:19] * rbasak looks [10:20] quite - 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 work [10:20] what's the plan for a bug fix set of packages coming to 11.10? [10:21] Daviey: how many would be sensible? === gustav_ is now known as beerbro [10:22] uksysadmin: Well.. zul and myself are on the openstack stable team. We are currently looking at how best to backport it to Oneiric. [10:22] We are working on some CI testing, but it's not quite ready. [10:22] (almost!) [10:23] rbasak: *shrug* :), for a release team perspective - i was just concerned so many are in unassigned state, and wanted to shrink the list :) [10:25] awesome Daviey - I'll be lurking until its out ;-) [10:25] uksysadmin: :P [10:26] Daviey: OK, I've taken three that I think would be most useful to do [10:27] rbasak: hey there [10:27] hey koolhead11! [10:31] Hi there: what is normal way to add/remove/start jobs onubuntu desktop running as server? [10:31] uksysadmin: super :) [10:31] Daviey: sir. what is there 4 my plate :D [10:31] * koolhead11 needs some TODO :D [10:32] koolhead11: Well Essex-2 is landing in Precise today. :) [10:32] * uksysadmin has a list of work as long as his arm for koolhead11 if he's that keen - shame not Ubuntu related [10:32] * uksysadmin is just firing up a Precise VM in prep for that! [10:32] uksysadmin: :P [10:33] Daviey: cool i will have 2 machine setup of precious plus openstack [10:34] uksysadmin: your yet to get me the cobbler manual partition preseed thing. [10:34] :p [10:36] ahh, yes - I promised that didn't I? [10:36] when I work it out - I'll let you know :p [10:37] * uksysadmin thinks installing everything under / is underrated [10:37] * koolhead11 wants to write blog on cobbler/ubuntu. [10:38] uksysadmin: but what i have realized is this kickstart file its very perticular about syntax and spaces [10:39] is that Python based too!? [10:40] uksysadmin: preseed in debian term. no it has notthing to do with python :P [10:41] ;-) [11:08] Is there a difference between ubuntu dekstop and server edition regarding the "startup" behaviour ? [11:28] querier, there are some differences, yes [11:29] querier, specifically which jobs do you want to add? [11:30] jamespage: for example , does ubuntu server use /etc/inittab ? Im having problems with /etc/init/.confs [11:30] querier: no - both desktop and server use upstart as the init system [11:31] you can still install regular init scripts /etc/init.d [11:31] what issues are you having creating upstart configurations? [11:31] creating is no problem...let me exaplain [11:33] jamespage: on a (ubuntu desktop running apache et.c) livecd, that I produced, the initctl start does not seem to work. [11:33] jamespage: on the host system which is equal it works jsut fine. (I used relinux to make the live cd) [11:34] querier, do you get anything in /var/log/syslog? [11:34] I'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...) [11:35] querier: you can also up the logging level by running sudo initctl log-priority debug [11:39] jamespage: I just looked into the /var/log/syslog it does not tell me anthing about my attempts to start things. [11:42] jamespage: 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] jamespage: I dont understand what the maxdepth means? [11:43] querier, only descend to one level of subdirectories when executing find [11:44] jamespage: ic. [11:50] iam 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 server [11:50] is there any body who can asssist me? [11:55] tewea: do you have console access to the system if ssh doesn't work? [11:56] Daviey: minimal virtual grew again today [11:57] TeTeT:console means? by the way i can aces it even graphically [11:58] tewea: graphically is as good as console :) [11:58] TeTeT:ok [11:58] tewea: is there a firewall installed on the system? can you ssh localhost from it? [12:00] TeTeT:yeah it works [12:00] tewea: with /sbin/ifconfig you can find out your ip address, try that instead of localhost [12:02] TeTeT:yeah it works even when iam typing by it ipadress [12:03] tewea: hmm, what happens when you ssh from the outside to your server? can you ping it? [12:05] TeTeT:even this one is working proporly [12:06] jamespage: the output php: :trying[sudo /sbin/initctl start id_._name] NOTHING. the job is /etc/init/id_._name.conf [12:07] tewea: ok, that's good. now with that being ok, onto the webpage [12:07] tewea: 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 address [12:08] TeTeT:but i can't accces it to the web page [12:08] tewea: is there some sort of network monitor running that could detect that? [12:08] tewea: can you access from the server via 'w3m http://localhost' [12:09] TeTeT:but i can't accces it to the web page it says"ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved" [12:10] tewea: is there a webserver running on the server at all? what's the output of netstat -ntaup | grep 80 [12:12] querier, I need some more context to help - is php trying to run the start command? [12:12] jamespage: yes it is. and as the correct user. [12:13] jamespage: expected is " start/running process_id" [12:14] querier, anything when you up the logging level with sudo initctl log-priority debug? [12:14] in (/var/log/syslog) that is [12:20] jamespage: Ihave sent the only output I found regarding the certain job. [12:21] querier, and you get nothing else when you run sudo /sbin/initctl start id_._name ? [12:22] jamespage: if I do it by hand (user) everything is fine. [12:22] TeTeT: it says it established [12:23] tewea: so, what does w3m http://localhost do from the server commandline? [12:25] jamespage: oh. when I do it now i am asked the password, which should not be, according to sudoers file. [12:25] querier, thats probably your issue; it may be failing silently under php [12:25] TeTeT: it says it works [12:25] querier: hence no syslog output [12:26] tewea: ok, so from the remote computer you can ssh to the server, but not access the webpage? [12:27] jamespage: hmm yes seems so. sudoeres:[ user ALL = NOPASSWD: ... /sbin/initctl ] [12:28] TeTeT: 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 it [12:30] tewea: you sure the server has a unique ip address? [12:31] TeTeT: yeah [12:31] TeTeT: but how can i make it shure it have unique ip adress [12:32] tewea: do you have access to another system in the same LAN? [12:32] TeTeT: yeah [12:33] tewea: ping the server, check sudo arp -a for the mac to ip assignment, repeat that every 10 mins and see if the mac sometimes changes [12:33] tewea: there should be more sophisticated tools, but I'm not aware of any [12:45] lynxman: remember when I told you that grub wasn't able to boot with /boot as XFS ? [12:46] caribou: I do I do :) [12:46] lynxman: well, I was wrong; it's the way I moved /boot from ext2 to XFS that was wrong [12:47] lynxman: rebuilding a brand new VM with a native XFS /boot works [12:47] caribou: I was quite certain that grub supported xfs, not so sure about jfs [12:47] jamespage: hmm just now I retryied and it worked doing it by hand without being asked for password. [12:47] caribou: cool :) [12:47] lynxman: I'll tell you in a minute, I'm testing that now [12:47] caribou: cool [12:47] querier: you sudo session remains intact for a bit - so you will not be asked everytime [12:47] lynxman: but I just can't figure out how to move from on FS type on /boot to another without rebuilding the whole VM [12:48] lynxman: 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 yet [12:49] caribou: maybe reinstalling grub might help? [12:49] caribou: that's what I would do a least [12:49] lynxman: well update-grub doesn't seem to work [12:51] Jamespage:But I did not enter the user password. I did root$ su user . user$ sudo /sbininitctl start job. now [12:51] New bug: #905313 in analog (universe) "Fails to recognise Android or iP* devices" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/905313 [13:01] New bug: #905315 in ipxe (main) "package kvm-ipxe (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/qemu/pxe-ne2k_isa.rom', which is also in package ipxe 1.0.0+git-2.149b50-1ubuntu2 (dup-of: 905099)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/905315 [13:12] hi [13:12] i've just installed my server, and i get a black screen [13:12] but i have ssh access [13:12] does getty use any kind of video driver??

[13:43] Sander^work: whats the problem? [13:45] Jasonn, i'm using pure-ftpd-ldap.. and I'm unable to log into the server.. just getting Login authentication failed. and it takes like 5 seconds to give that answer. [13:59] Jasonn, wondring what could be wrong with the pure ftpd server. [13:59] Sander^work: whats wrong with it... [13:59] whats not working [13:59] <_ruben> Sander^work: sounds like your ldap server is timing out or something === TeTeT_ is now known as TeTeT [14:00] what is the connection you have on that server? [14:00] _ruben, I tried to put in another ldap IP in the pureftpd config.. and then it answered pretty quick.. [14:00] Jasonn, what you mean with connection ? [14:00] speed [14:00] sorry, should have specified that [14:00] and the uptime/quality [14:01] Honestly, I would just screw pure, and go with vsftpd [14:01] It's been quite stable actually.. [14:02] Jasonn, but not lately.. [14:02] Jasonn, it's 100Mbit, why? [14:02] I havent used it recently [14:02] just wondering whether the timeout would have to do with the quality of the connection [14:02] that is, if you are running a home server or something [14:05] _ruben, Do you know how I can debug that, what is wrong?

[20:23] utlemming: well, i'm in a rush of getting openstack knowledge, and interestingly enough, ubuntu provides the only images available not exclusively via AWS ... thanks for the work :) [20:24] why does halt not power my box off but shutdown now -h does? [20:24] try halt -p? [20:26] halt is easyer to type :D [20:26] sorry thourght you typed why halt :P. Thanks [20:28] jca1981: ;) [20:29] is the halt a wrong way of shutting down a server? [20:30] is there a way to benchmark a ubuntu server i'm root on? what tools could i use? i'm mostly looking for io/cpu benchmarks [20:30] jca1981: shutdown -h now doesn't do anything other than calling halt -p at the end, it just does numerous foo and magic around it. [20:31] do i need the Magic? [20:31] Madkiss, 2 things regarding your 11.10 image [20:31] does halt shutdown my services corectly? [20:32] a.) you should use the .img file rather than the .tar.gz [20:32] b.) if for some reason you want the .tar.gz file, you can use a "loader kernel" which would get you booting with an initramfs. [20:33] "loader kernel" == http://people.canonical.com/~smoser/lucid-loaders/ which basically works as a bootloader to find kernel/ramdisk inside image. [20:33] smoser: AIUI, these .tar.gz files provided by utlemming are supposed to be installable with cloud-publish-tarball, aren't they? [20:35] Madkiss, yes, they are. its a bug, no doubt. but for 11.10 and 11.04, the .img file is superior. [20:35] and you can publish that with "cloud-publish-image" which has as-simple an interface. [20:36] great, thanks for the hint! [20:43] Hey, 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] I'm bundling up a OVF and want some information displayed on boot, like the eth0 address and other misc things. [20:44] smoser: hello there [20:44] root@Mobile:~# sudo tasksel install lamp-server ------> tasksel: aptitude failed (100) [20:44] what am i doing wrong? [20:45] koolhead17, hey. [20:46] I think it might have been apt-get update...checking again... [20:46] mattrobenolt, i think /etc/issue [20:47] smoser: 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] yup that was it [20:47] How exactly is the /etc/motd generated on login? This is new to me, coming from Debian land. [20:48] mattrobenolt, that is writtten every time getty runs (i think) [20:48] s/written/written to the getty/ [20:49] i think you could update it on boot, yes. [20:49] /etc/motd is dynamic, see man 'update-motd' [20:49] Ok, so I could essentially write out to /etc/issue with a startup script, and it should be solid. [20:49] but it is only written on login [20:50] mattrobenolt, you might be able to tie into the starting of a getting via upstart (start on starting tty1) or something. [20:50] Oh my, there's a whole update-motd.d scripts folder, haha [20:51] smoser: That's pretty nice. Anything similar for /etc/issue ? Like an update-issue -esque script? [20:58] mattrobenolt, no. [20:59] smoser: I can work from this: http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/files/update-issue [20:59] All good, you pointed me at least in the right direction. Thanks smoser. :) [21:02] SpamapS, can you do 'start on starting tty*' ? [21:03] err... 'start on starting JOB=tty*' i guess. [21:03] smoser: I've never tried that, but it should work in theory [21:03] smoser: you'd need an instance if you want it to run for *each* and not just for the *first* [21:07] instance ?
