[00:15] hi there.. i have a Gbit rated lan, and am getting speed readings of approx 260mbits from XP clients when connecting to a local samba server ( at non peak time ) is this too low ? [00:19] pukeko, bitrate and throughput are two very different things [00:20] mediocre desktop computers can only transfer files in the 35-50MB/s range, older poorer performing ones lower [00:20] in ideal conditions, a windows vista/7 computer with a multi disk raid 0 can achieve 80MB/s from a linux samba server [00:21] the server must also have a multi disk raid to keep up with those numbers [00:23] utlemming: smoser: stgraber: I may push http://people.canonical.com/~serge/lxc.debdiff tonight. [00:24] if i perform the same test (iperf) from another linux box im getting approx 700mbits -- am wondering if its the SMB 1.0 overhead .. [00:25] (leaving tests running as i get some dinner) [00:27] hallyn: "++ echo "Please login as Ubuntu." => shouldn't it be "ubuntu"? [00:27] stgraber: I figured utlemming meant user Ubuntu [00:27] should i set the Tcp Window to the same on the XP and the Linux ..? [00:27] i.e., username [00:27] i'll change it. should i list the pwd too? [00:28] hallyn: yup [00:28] probably a good idea yeah [00:28] if i do that i get around 700mbits also [00:28] hallyn: I'm guessing this won't work until we have the new upstart though right? [00:28] works fine :) [00:28] the cloud images have lxcguest built in [00:29] ah ok, so we'll break them when we remove lxcguest, good to know ;) [00:29] in fact we'll have to think whether new upstart will cause it problems [00:29] yeah [00:30] i dno't know if automated cloud image generation will break, or just say " no lxcguest, s'coo" [00:30] utlemming: ^ [00:31] hallyn: I'm not sure I follow the concern [00:31] utlemming: pretty soon lxcguest will be removed from precise [00:31] utlemming: the lxcguest package won't exist anymore next week (hopefully) [00:32] ah....that's not a problem [00:32] sweet [00:32] the package is being installed via the server^ pattern [00:32] we are not explicitly installing it [00:32] i don't know what that is [00:32] apt package group [00:33] ok, sweet. thx. [00:33] oh, which means that lxc will be automatically moved back to universe once lxcguest is dropped [00:33] because currently the source and lxcguest are in main as lxcguest is in a server seed [00:34] when that's no longer the case, it'll be fully moved back to universe and so anyone who's MOTU will have upload rights again [00:34] are we ok with that, or do we beg for MIR for lxc? [00:36] I think it'd make sense to have lxc at least be in the supported seed but that'll require an MIR [00:37] I mean, we kind of hope people are going to use it in 12.04 otherwise we wouldn't put that much effort into it, so then I think it makes sense to have it as part of the LTS [00:39] out for dinner, bbl === sixstringsg|away is now known as sixstringsg [01:26] stgraber: tests all pass. did you ahve any more comments, or shoudl i push? [01:26] hallyn: nope, that was the only thing I noticed [01:26] ok thx === sixstringsg is now known as sixstringsg|away [01:36] anyone able to guide me through this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/102381/configuring-ubuntu-server-to-act-as-a-gateway-similar-to-a-router [01:41] EvilResistance, assuming you have both interfaces configured already, eth0 is internet, eth1 is LAN, `echo 1 > sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward; sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE; sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT; sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT` [01:42] qman___, the configuration of eth1 is the main issue i'm having, it doesnt want to work :P [01:42] that is doing it live, to have said configuration automatic at boot requires a few config file changes [01:43] you'll have to be more specific [01:43] "it doesn't work" isn't enough to go on [01:43] qman___, system isnt detecting the second networking card :P [01:43] at least... [01:43] well, that's a hardware problem then [01:43] not within networking... lspci has it, but its not being confiugred as an interface [01:43] * EvilResistance agrees [01:43] qman___, alternatively, other question I had is related: [01:43] how can i set up just the LAN part [01:43] any cobbler experts know what causes this on a cobbler replicate: Exception value: 'cobbler trigger failed: cobbler.modules.sync_post_restart_services' [01:44] ? [01:44] qman___, that is to say, configure the box as a LAN controller, without having external gateway access [01:44] and also, to provide IPs to each machine (also unconfigured on this box) [01:44] there's nothing to control [01:44] give it an IP [01:44] oh, you want to provide DHCP, you need a dhcp server [01:44] mhm [01:45] consider this is going to work with 45 systems, i dont want to be setting 45 IPs by hand :p [01:46] apt-get install dhcp3-server, or apt-get install dnsmasq [01:46] dnsmasq has the main benefit of also including DNS caching and automatic local DNS [01:47] thanks. [01:49] for future reference, if you know what you need, but not which package to install, you can use 'apt-cache search x' to try and find it [01:49] among a larger list of things, 'apt-cache search dhcp server' returned both of the above results [01:49] i see [01:49] apt-cache search what I need [01:50] qman___, last question, assigning an IP to the box itself for the LAN. Can either dhcp3-server or dnsmasq do this automatically and give it, say, 192.168.1.1? or does that get set up statically separate from the configuration of dnsmasq [01:51] your dhcp server must have a statically configured interface [01:53] actually that's not strictly true, in some rare instances [01:53] but for your purposes, and most all purposes, the DHCP server needs to already have a statically configured LAN interface in /etc/network/interfaces [01:54] the default gateway must always have a static IP [01:56] indeed. i assume i can configure the thing to hand out IPs from the 10.0.0.0/8 range, rather than 192.168.1.1? [01:56] s/192.168.1.1/192.168.0.0\/16/ [01:57] yes, you can use any range you want, though you should pick ranges in the designated private address spaces [01:58] 10.0.0.0/8 is defined in the RFCs to be private-use if i'm not mistaken... [01:58] yes, it is [02:00] 192.168/16, 10/8 and 172.16/12 [02:00] Also 169.something is reserved for the .local mDNS/DNSSD pseudodomain [02:01] 169.254/16 [02:01] for APIPA [02:02] avahi and all its friends need to FOAD tho [02:19] alrighty, i'm going to go take a stab at this, i shall return and let you know of the results === kerframil_ is now known as kerframil [02:57] qman___: i've installed dnsmasq, and it is running. I've followed (as far as I can tell) the correct configuration modification to enable the integrated DHCP server, and assign from a range of 45 IPs in the 10.0.0.0/8 area, with a 12 hour lease: dhcp-range=10.0.0.5,10.0.0.50,12h. I hook up one of the machines that i'm trying to get to work on this, and it doesnt receive an IP at all [02:59] EvilResistance, requisites: the server's interface must be up and configured, dnsmasq must have been restarted since the configuration change [02:59] one second, *fixes something unrelated* [03:05] okay, so now my system died >.> figures. [03:06] ANYWAYS i've put this into /etc/network/interfaces, i'm not even sure this is correct for what needs to be configured: http://pastebin.com/BS7umd1q [03:08] that is not correct [03:08] gateway cannot be itself [03:08] you can omit a gateway if there is none [03:09] that's what i wasnt sure about :P [03:10] and still nothing :/ [03:12] of course, network manager on the system connecting to the DHCP thing doesnt give me detailed information at *all* [03:14] well, the mere presence of network manager can break everything [03:14] I assumed you were using a server [03:14] to eliminate network manager as the problem, 'sudo service network-manager stop' [03:14] other thing to check is the logs [03:15] i am [03:15] the server doesnt have network manager [03:15] and restart dnsmasq after you bring up your 10.0.0.1 interface [03:15] the client system *connecting* to the server is [03:15] ah, ok [03:15] well, you can still stop network manager and use dhclient -v instead [03:15] that'll show you what's going on on the line [03:15] but because network manager is a piece of [REDACTED], it doesnt give useful error messages [03:15] ah [03:16] ... only problem is that the system i'm trying to connect to the server is the system i'm talking from... [03:16] and thats running off of a local wifi i have access to... [03:16] if i stop network manager on here, the connection will die :/ [03:16] unfortunately, yes [03:17] but network manager is pretty persistent [03:17] can't reliably dhclient with it running [03:17] can try though [03:17] meh lemme load up colloquy off my iphone so i can continue to communicate here [03:18] note my response speed will be far slower === Resistance is now known as Resist|WEB [03:19] okay, lemme bring down network-manager here... [03:22] seems to be trying to broadcast to 255.255.255.255, but nothing seems to be responding... [03:22] gateway line looks wrong [03:23] there is no more gateway line. [03:24] ok, if nothing's coming back, then next step to try is to make sure you can communicate at all [03:24] http://paste.debian.net/155527/ is how I'd do it [03:24] manually set an address with ifconfig or ip, and try to ping the server [03:24] But you want a 0/0 route *somewhere*, it just makes no sense to have it routed to yourself [03:25] there's no internet in his scenario yet, because his second NIC doesn't work [03:25] OK [03:25] but yeah, normally you'd set one [03:29] qman___ no respons... oh for the love of god... [03:29] * Resistance face desks [03:29] Resistance: purge NM entirely [03:29] I forgot to edit the firewall [03:30] that'll do it [03:30] stopping/starting network-manager works pretty reliably for my laptop [03:30] I often have to set it up as a router/gateway or bridge to troubleshoot stuff on the job, but also need network manager for wifi [03:30] and VPN [03:31] I know I don't NEED it for those functions, but it does them well and is way easier than doing it by hand [03:33] zul: could you please syncpackage -d unstable numactl ? [03:34] is there a way to find out what is the physical location of an image file ? all i see is /dev/loop0 on /media/xda when i run 'mount'. lsof didn't seem to find it either.. [03:34] bleh, still not working [03:34] I'll fix it later, I have other stuff to do :/ [03:35] arrrghhh: losetup [03:35] arrrghhh: /proc/mounts MAY tell you, I think that's new in 3.2 [03:35] ah, excellent [03:35] 2.6.32 here lol [03:36] sudo losetup -a did it. [03:36] thanks [03:36] mount -o loop uses losetup internally, you see [03:37] interesting... [03:37] the rabbit hole goes deep usually on linux. especially ubuntu [03:43] not to use arrrghhh's name in vain, but I just realized I lost an hour of last night's work by accidentally terminating an instance :( [03:45] New bug: #928608 in bind9 (main) "package bind9 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1ubuntu2.3 failed to install/upgrade: subproses skrip post-installation terpasang menghasilkan kesalahan status keluaran: 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/928608 [03:47] hallyn, i've been used for worse.

See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [04:22] well [04:22] kantlivelong, i'm using apcupsd... but i don't think with that card. sorry. [04:22] well cause polite first [04:22] arrrghhh: its an ethernet based card :P [04:22] i have a USB connection from the ups to the PC [04:23] ive tried NUT and it seems good except one goof that it doesnt shutdown based on batt percent.. [04:23] hrm [04:23] it's an APC? [04:23] no [04:23] well mi problem is with some services at ubuntu 11.10 [04:23] oh [04:23] RFC1628 compliant snmp web card [04:23] just stop sending bytes after a request [04:23] ssh and apache [04:23] arrrghhh: which apcupsd says it supports [04:23] hrm.. [04:24] but the things is not with all host [04:24] just with some of it [04:24] i hope its just my OS giving me the segfault for apcupsd:P [04:24] (not ubuntu for the host node) [04:25] well think 2 problmems at the same time are not posible [04:25] lol [04:27] i hope this works :) [04:27] APCUPSD > NUT [04:29] guys you know if Ubuntu 11.10 got some kind of intruders network detector [04:29] Is apcupsd APC-specific?

Here is the one I use: http://cyber.com.au/~twb/doc/iptab.ips [04:30] cloneMX: I also recommend running regular pentests from outside the network, e.g. openvas [04:31] well I was asking cause I dont know why the server is closing my network service conections like apache2 and ssh [04:31] but not from all Hots [04:31] hosts [04:31] : D [04:31] have you checked the logs? [04:32] cloneMX: probably because your switch is fucked or your NATing router is fucked, or you have a bad cable or similar. [04:32] i would think all connections would drop if it was on the host side. [04:32] no/ [04:32] ? [04:32] well im using a brand new adsl modem [04:32] cloneMX: do the normal fault isolation things, such as checking the logs (as arrrghhh suggests), turning other services off, turning debugging on/up, swapping out components [04:32] over a pppoe [04:32] no logs [04:32] no firewall [04:33] testing components in isolation, e.g. connecting locally before connecting over the network [04:33] no info [04:33] no logs? [04:33] there's logs. [04:33] yep [04:33] apache logs, ssh logs [04:33] no information over the logs [04:33] it just work from some hots [04:33] hrm [04:33] and not from others [04:33] for example [04:34] now I can see the host from home [04:34] my adsl [04:34] cloneMX: there is a limit to how much we can babysit you [04:34] lol [04:34] ty anyway [04:34] cloneMX, first, quit using the enter key as punctuation. ask your question all in one line. [04:35] cloneMX: it sounds like you're inexperienced enough that you really need someone on the ground who can isolate the fault. [04:35] cloneMX: find your local linux user group (LUG) and ask them to recommend someone [04:35] kk [04:35] letme explain it [04:36] You've been explaining the symptoms for 48 hours without getting anywhere. Repeating yourself is not going to help. [04:36] im just did what you said [04:36] oh i haven't been here to see it, sorry. [04:36] from what you've said, it sounds like a generic network fault, which could be your NIC, or a piece of hardware somewhere between the endpoints, or just the internet being the internet [04:36] from basics [04:36] cloneMX, WAN residential connections are best effort. [04:37] they have pretty much no QoS. certainly they won't take anything that is passed thru your LAN [04:37] ok [04:38] home connections in general, and DSL in particular, are fairly unreliable [04:38] yea... DSL suxxxxxors. [04:38] i'm so very glad i vowed to never use it again :D [04:38] and if you're running on the ISP provided equipment, it's just as likely the box they gave you is crap [04:38] they do it all the time [04:38] see the previous on dsl sucking ^^ [04:39] ok [04:39] cloneMX, you want a reliable host? VPS. [04:39] arrrghhh: what are you using instead, satellite down, PSTN up? [04:39] lol@PSTN [04:39] That's the only alternative to DSL in .au [04:39] FSVO alternative = can't get DSL [04:39] cable.. tis the best my area has to offer at the time being [04:39] oh [04:40] i forget about regional issues [04:40] some areas have fiber [04:40] some have... no choice [04:40] yeah, in the US cable is the best trade off [04:40] indeed [04:40] FIOS is a better line, obviously, but is only available in select areas [04:40] comcrast has run some fiber, and their connections are the fastest. [04:40] cable is widely available and fairly reliable as long as you have good equipment [04:40] yup, no FiOS here. [04:40] qman___: i beg to differ on the FiOS thing [04:40] qman___, always purchase my own. [04:41] i wish that community internet would take hold [04:41] qman___: identical allowable internet bandwidth in the same location, homes literally next to each other, comcast has more net reliability than FiOS [04:41] look up 'greenlight cable' [04:41] at least out at my home [04:41] i installed that head-end. 10mb up AND down for $40/mo [04:41] out here where I am now, though, Comcast has the domination [04:41] 100/100 for... i want to say $99/mo [04:42] lol [04:42] comcast also has a 250GB/month cap [04:42] FIOS does not [04:42] ok guys ty [04:42] i know. dicks. [04:42] I like my Cox cable... No cap, static IP address [04:42] 25up 10down [04:42] wait, what? [04:42] Darkwing: ah, but is it a static IPv6 addrses [04:42] other way around i assume [04:42] for home lines anyway, business class comcast is better [04:42] 25up lol [04:42] qman___: if available ;P [04:42] IPv4, but it works for a small home server :D [04:42] business class isnt available out here [04:44] most of the customers I work with have comcast business lines, but at my house there is only charter communications [04:44] it's charter, dialup, satellite, or T1 [04:44] no other options are available [04:45] What's charter, a guy on a horse with a bag of USB keys?

I need to use virt-manager to manage a few VMs (having trouble with virsh) so, I installed xubuntu-desktop. On reboot, the screen just keeps flickering for a while before blanking out. The radeon driver is installed. There is no xorg.conf file [08:56] to edit in /etc/X11. [08:57] Please help :) [09:07] journeeman: you can connect with virt-manager on your workstation to libvirt on the server [09:07] journeeman: or ssh -X to your server [09:08] installing a graphical environment on your server to run virt-manager is not wat you should do imho [09:09] Oh ok [09:10] Will try them out. Thank you henkjan :) [09:13] journeeman: pretty sure you can use virt-manager to remotely connect to machines [09:13] File -> Add Connection -> Connection: [dropdown menu] [09:13] in that dropdown you can select various kinds of remote access [09:14] journeeman: so you really don't need to install something as heavy as a full DE [09:14] and even then, lxde is better than xfce, or dwn, ion, ratpoison, etc [09:15] ( as a screen and tmux user, /me <3 ratpoison ) [09:16] dwm* [09:57] hwo would I laod hte megaraid_sas driver in a preseed.cfg? my hands off install is not detecting the raid card correctly [10:05] jibel: afaik that should happen automatically if the PCI ID of the board is known to the driver [10:11] anyone using orchestra? just installed on an vm instance and the distro list is empty...

[11:55] roaksoax has asked me for my 99-orchestra.conf file which was pasted earlier. [11:55] Daviey: Ah, there. Awesome. [11:58] My query was regarding creation of directories in the /var/log/orchestra/rsyslog directory corresponding to machines in the eth0 interface. [11:58] In dnsmasq.conf also I have set up the interface eth0 to not give out any dhcp requests via eth0. [11:59] eth0 is in bridged mode and the provisioning server runs inside a virtualbox . eth1 is the internal network range. [11:59] The internal network range is something like 192.168.1.x [11:59] eth1 is in internal networking mode. [12:00] I would like to know why those directories named after 10.x.x.x I.P Addresses are created inside /var/log/orchestra/rsyslog. === chuck_ is now known as zul [12:19] Vivek: i suspect they are created when the installer starts sending stuff back to the rsyslog server [12:22] ok [12:23] I understand that. [12:23] Daviey: Can you point me to exact source code that causes this to happen ? [12:27] Daviey: I would also like to know why there is dhcp and dhcp3 directories in /etc [12:27] Which one does orchestra use ? [12:31] Vivek: i think that is how rsyslog works.. you'd need to grep the rsyslog souce code for that. [12:40] chelz, henkjan Thank you :) [12:51] ok [12:52] Daviey: There are no machines installed in the 10.x.x.x series [12:52] via eth0 [12:53] All machines are commissioned via the eth1 interface with I.P Address 192.168.1.x series [12:57] Vivek: i suspect it's something to do with your enviroment, virtualbox bridge?
