[05:05] <journeeman> Hello. I am trying to install Precise Beta2 AMD64 in Virtualbox. The installation menu appears and once I select `Install Ubuntu Server' the console goes blank. It's not accessing the disk or the network at all.
[05:05] <journeeman> Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
[05:16] <twb> journeeman: hit f6, add nomodeset (IIRC)
[05:16] <journeeman> twb: okay
[05:16] <twb> IOW force it to use 80x25 VGA console instead of fancier grahpics
[05:16] <twb> That's just a guess, I don't have vbox
[05:16] <journeeman> Oh okay
[05:41] <journeeman> twb: It worked once. There was a segfault error and got the installation steps menu. Any option I selected failed. Tried to save the debug logs but that failed too. Tried rebooting with nomodeset but just hangs like before.
[07:48] <twb> sparticus: I notice precise still has that problem where it doesn't chvt 1 when plymouth has finished
[07:48] <twb> Er, SpamapS

[07:59] <Daviey> How is everyone this rather sunny day?
[08:03] <jamespage> morning all
[08:14] <twb> That's interesting; lucid's installer won't let me manually place the 1M "biosgrub" partition at 0% offset; it demands to put it after
[08:14] <twb> i.e. so there's a 1M gap at the start of the disk, then the stupid 1M grub stage umpteen, then the rest of the system
[08:57] <lynxman> jamespage, Daviey: morning!

[09:19] <RoyK> hi all. is there a ppa somewhere to allow using recent bacula versions prebuilt for ubuntu lucid?
[09:20] <uksysadmin> blimey Daviey - you had an extra Weetabix today?

[09:22] <DoomGuy> hello all
[09:23] <DoomGuy> I want to install this servers : FTP, Mysql, Apache, LDAP, SAMBA, DNS, SVN.
[09:23] <DoomGuy> but I am confused about what can be regrouped in the same server and what can't
[09:23] <DoomGuy> any diea /
[09:23] <DoomGuy> ?
[09:30] <koolhead17> DoomGuy: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/  See if it helps
[09:34] <DoomGuy> koolhead17 thanls
[09:35] <RoyK> DoomGuy: you can install all of those on the same server
[09:38] <DoomGuy> RoyK but DNS is crucial and has nothing with application layer and if the server crashes. everyone will stop working :P
[09:40] <RoyK> DoomGuy: that's why you have more dns servers
[09:44] <DoomGuy> RoyK I am using DNS server for sharing virtual hosts, allowing clients to access servers by name, and doing cache DNS in the same time.. So I really need it.
[09:46] <RoyK> DoomGuy: you always need more dns servers
[09:46] <RoyK> always
[10:43] <koolhead17> nijaba: will you be coming for ubuntucloudday :D
[10:43] <koolhead17> Daviey: was looking for you the other day :(
[10:45] <Daviey> koolhead17: yeah, contentless pings tend to be pretty useless.
[10:46] <koolhead17> Daviey: yes sir.
[10:46] <koolhead17> something urgent had come up at that point of time and thats why :(
[10:47] <Daviey> koolhead17: what was it?
[10:49] <koolhead17> Daviey: will talk on it now during UDS, am making list of things :P
[10:49]  * koolhead17 needs some suggestions
[10:52] <Daviey> koolhead17: groovy
[10:53] <koolhead17> Daviey: :)
[13:02] <zul> Daviey:  btw glance ftbfs if the testsuite fails now as well
[13:04] <Daviey> zul: oh dear, have you investigated why?
[13:05] <zul> Daviey: pep8 from one of my patches ;) but before it didnt fail if the testsuite fails now it does
[13:05] <zul> although some of the tests require a full swift install now as well
[13:06] <Daviey> O_o
[13:06] <Daviey> *sigh*
[13:06] <Daviey> thanks zul
[13:12] <jamespage> lynxman, any opinion on bug 941922?
[13:15] <lynxman> jamespage: let me have a look
[13:15] <jamespage> lynxman, ta
[13:16] <_ruben> that's one tricky scenario...
[13:16] <lynxman> jamespage: I'd say it's plenty justified, puppet shouldn't be running during d-r-u otherwise it'll try to enforce the wrong things, also it shouldn't start automatically afterwards either IMHO
[13:17] <lynxman> jamespage: but I'd say that's something a bit more on the sysadmin side of planning rather than the OS trying to outsmart him, restarting puppet after d-r-u can also be fatal
[13:26] <Kiall> Just noticed Ubuntu MAAS on the 12.04 CD boot menu, Is it just orchestra renamed? Can't seem to see too much info on it
[13:36] <tarvid> when I switched from dhcp to static networking broke on 12.04
[13:37] <tarvid> http://paste.ubuntu.com/911465/
[13:37] <tarvid> this project is dead in the water without networking
[13:38] <tarvid> I can ping a neighbor but I cannot ping my gateway
[13:39] <Kiall> tarvid, what does "broke" mean exactly?
[13:40] <Kiall> Also.. It looks like those settings are wrong
[13:40] <tarvid> what looks wrong
[13:40] <Kiall> "70.167.242.233" with a netmask of "255.255.255.224" means you are assigning the network address to the server
[13:40] <tarvid> broke means I can ping a neighbor but I cannot ping my gateway
[13:40] <Kiall> actually
[13:40] <Kiall> nevermind
[13:42] <Kiall> My CIDR-fu has a momentary lapse there ;) Could you ping the GW beforehand with DHCP?
[13:42] <tarvid> on myn laptop I set a static address with the network manager GUI and it works
[13:42] <tarvid> I have a different gaterway on DHCP but indeed I did updates
[13:43] <tarvid> but I can't get back to DHCP either
[13:43] <Kiall> Okay, and from other servers using the same GW, can you ping the GW? (Sometimes, ping is blocked etc etc)
[13:43] <Kiall> The config syntax is correct. Assuming the actual settings are also correct, the issue is likely on the GW
[13:44] <tarvid> yes I can ping the gateway from the neighbor
[13:45] <tarvid> the route is very different
[13:45] <tarvid> I have two nics in the neighbor
[13:46] <Kiall> Okay, well.. all I can tell you in that case is - the config syntax is correct, considering you can ping the neighbor, I believe the ip/mask are correct.. I would double check the GW IP, and double check the settings have been applied correctly, and after that it's most likely an issue on the GW
[13:47] <Kiall> `route -n` and `ifconfig eth0` should let you check the settings have been applied..
[13:50] <tarvid> the neighbor is the only host I can ping, all others are broken
[13:50] <Kiall> maybe an IP conflict so?
[13:51] <tarvid> Interesting Bcast:0.0.0.0 on the one that workw
[13:52] <RoyK> IIRC that's disabling broadcasts, which might not be what you want
[13:52] <RoyK> 15:40 < Kiall> "70.167.242.233" with a netmask of "255.255.255.224" means you are assigning the network address to the server
[13:52] <RoyK> erm... .233 isn't a network address
[13:53] <Kiall> RoyK, yea.. see my "ignore me" message ;)
 My CIDR-fu has a momentary lapse there ;)
[13:53] <RoyK> :D
[13:56] <tarvid> yes - an IP confllict
[14:02] <amarcolino> does anyone know the solution to ubuntu 12.4 not booting even knowing the install was succeful, all I get is a black screen
[14:03] <tarvid> grub is probably broken
[14:04] <amarcolino> ...
[14:05] <tarvid> grub is written last, if your install was waiting for a response it didn't get grub was not installed
[14:06] <amarcolino> maybe, but based on the install process it did get installed
[14:07] <amarcolino> just trying to avoid doing another clean install considering I might get the same result
[14:08] <greppy> amarcolino: a quick google shows this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/110315/ubuntu-11-10-and-12-04-blackscreen-on-boot
[14:08] <ahxcjb> hi all
[14:10] <ahxcjb> smoser, utlemming - hi, I'm trying to create a new AMI using ec2-bundle-vol from an Ubuntu EC2 10.04 image. I've successfully done it using an AMI image, but received an error when running it against an EBI store
[14:10] <hallyn> amarcolino: try alt-leftarrow?
[14:11] <ahxcjb> http://pastebin.com/9MGn1W9m
[14:11] <smoser> ahxcjb, well, you probably want create-image for EBS
[14:11] <ahxcjb> smoser: ah
[14:11] <smoser> what error did you get i wonder?
[14:11] <ahxcjb> smoser: I can run create-image within your ec2 image?
[14:11] <hallyn> amarcolino: the problem (if that works) is grub.conf is saying to switch to vt 7, which normally runs x but you don't have it.
[14:11] <smoser> ahxcjb, you can, but you dont have to run it htere.
[14:11] <smoser> basically , for ebs root, you can create a snapshot of the volume
[14:11] <smoser> and then register that
[14:12] <ahxcjb> simple as that?
[14:12] <smoser> the cleanest way to do that is to shut the instance down and snapshot the root
[14:12] <ahxcjb> ok
[14:12] <ahxcjb> thanks smoser
[14:12] <ahxcjb> will give it a go now
[14:12] <smoser> there is a option even in the aws UI that will do that.
[14:12] <smoser> and it basically does those things..
[14:12] <smoser>  * shut down instance
[14:12] <smoser>  * create-snapshot
[14:12] <smoser>  * register-snapshot
[14:13] <smoser>  * start instance
[14:13] <ahxcjb> I notice I can right click on the ec2 instance and there's a 'create-image' option?
[14:13] <smoser> and 'ec2-create-snapshot' is the command line that will dot htat.
[14:13] <smoser> right. thats it.
[14:13] <ahxcjb> will it capture all my bash history etc?
[14:13] <ahxcjb> if so, i guess i better clear that all out :)
[14:15] <Amoug> why isn't Xinetd used/installed by default ?
[14:17] <amarcolino> hallyn, for it to go to v7 it has to boot at least I get no disk activity after the bios splash screen
[14:18] <hallyn> ah
[14:18] <hallyn> i did have one case where all kernels under /boot seemed to disappear
[14:19] <hallyn> pretty sure it was my own fault, but dont' knwo what i did.
[14:20] <amarcolino> hallyn, maybe I aint asking the right question considering I ommited certain things, is there an issue with 12.4 with an lvm install while boot is on a separate partition/HD?
[14:21] <hallyn> amarcolino: the only issue I'm aware of is the one that can cause up to 2min wait while waiting for a timeout (i'm hoping that's fixed by now, but not sure)
[14:23] <amarcolino> hallyn, ok, will try another clean install and see what happens, thanks for the help
[14:29] <ahxcjb> smoser: looks like it worked.. :)
[14:29] <ahxcjb> smoser: only very slight issue is that the key I tell it to use doesn't get added to authorized_keys
[14:29] <ahxcjb> that does work when I created an instance based store using the ubuntu ec2 image, mind.
[14:30] <smoser> ahxcjb, it should tstill work
[14:31] <smoser> you launched a new instane from that image ?
[14:31] <ahxcjb> yep
[14:31] <ahxcjb> but, i didn't shut down the image first before I snapshotted..
[14:31] <ahxcjb> let me try again
[14:31] <smoser> well, you should always shut down the instance, basically  you're snapshotting a dirty filesystem (which will force a fsck)
[14:32] <ahxcjb> ok, stopping image
[14:35] <hallyn> stgraber: any problems with my pushing an lxc just to add the mediate_deleted flag?  (I now stop at /dev/mapper/ accesses, but trust you'll work aroudn those with device cgroup?)
[14:36] <stgraber> hallyn: nope, sounds good, go ahead. I indeed fixed all devices access using the device cgroup, so that part works as expected
[14:36] <tarvid> I see no evidence that dns-nameservers 68.105.28.16, 68.105.29.16 works in either 11.10 or 12.04
[14:37] <hallyn> stgraber: trying ot figure out whether to add 'LP:' to the changelog or not :)  it works aorund the bug, doesn't fix it...
[14:38] <stgraber> hallyn: well, it fixes the problem, so we should close the bug against lxc at least and maybe keep an apparmor task open for these extra flags
[14:38] <hallyn> the bug isn't open against lxc :)
[14:39] <hallyn> i'll open it right quick
[14:41] <hallyn> stgraber: oh you mean an open bug to remove the extra flags.  i see.
[14:41] <hallyn> haven't done that yet
[15:05] <SamV522> Can I setup an ubuntu server on a network with windows pcs?
[15:05] <zul> glance-rc2 uploaded
[15:06] <ahxcjb> SamV522: sure?
[15:06] <ahxcjb> Samba will integrate with windows for file-sharing and so forth
[15:06] <SamV522> That's more what I was looking for^. Thanks
[15:07] <SamV522> Are there any compatibility issues with file sharing and what not?
[15:11] <SamV522> Cause I recently built a pc as a dedicated server for files and what not in my home, and I was hoping I'd be able to install ubuntu server instead of paying 200 or so dollars for windows 7 AGAIN.. :/
[15:11] <ahxcjb> I think the majority of Samba issues with Windows 7 have been ironed out
[15:11] <ZarroBoogs> You shouldn't have any issues.
[15:11] <ahxcjb> use 10.04 LTS so you won't need to upgrade the Os anytime soon
[15:12] <SamV522> Okay, cool. Thanks.  I just downloaded 10.04 LTS this afternoon.  I can install it via booting to USB, correct?
[15:17] <lynxman> SpamapS: ping, whenever you're around :)
[15:21] <zul> and nova-rc2 uploaded
[15:22] <ahxcjb> SamV522: correct
[15:23] <SamV522> Excellent.  Can't wait to get the faulty parts replaced :D
[15:30] <lynxman> zul: \o/
[15:56] <mtaylor> hey guys - how do I file a FFE request to re-sync a package from debian?
[16:01] <ahxcjb> ad
[16:02] <ahxcjb> oops
[16:05] <mtaylor> yay. I figued it out
[16:15] <amarcolino> hallyn, weird that it now works, inserted the server cd and chose boot from hard disk, at first I thought nothing is happening but than it actually booted, did the update and upgrade and now it seems to have fixed the issue. I am content that it is fixed but would've liked to know what was the issue
[16:16] <hallyn> amarcolino: yeah, i hate when that happens :)  most likely seems an upgrade went bad and grub/initramfs were not ok
[16:21] <amarcolino> hallyn, probably, heck it works :)
[16:30] <Amoug> which one to use, tcp wrapper or iptables ?
[16:32] <ahxcjb> depends on your usage
[16:32] <ahxcjb> if you want application level blocking - ie, user foo can login, but user bar can't
[16:33] <ahxcjb> then use tcpwrappers
[16:33] <ahxcjb> as iptables can't do that
[16:33] <ahxcjb> iptables can, however, block people attempting to login to your SSH server or allow access as set (IP, magic packet etc)
[16:33] <ahxcjb> therefore, people often use BOTH.
[16:36] <Amoug> Any example on users restrictions for a certain service using TCP wrapper ?
[16:39] <ahxcjb> SSH logins
[16:39] <ahxcjb> FTP logins
