konradb | hi is it possible to restore /usr/share/locale? :x | 16:08 |
henkjan | bah, missing iso-8859-1 locales on new server installs :( | 16:15 |
* ogra_ doesnt think ubuntu ever used iso-8859-1 | 16:17 | |
henkjan | but they could be generated | 16:17 |
ogra_ | sure, just generate them with locale-gen | 16:18 |
henkjan | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man3/setlocale.3.html | 16:18 |
henkjan | Linux (that is, glibc) supports the portable locales "C" and "POSIX". In the good old days there used to be support for the European Latin-1 "ISO-8859-1" locale (e.g., in libc-4.5.21 and libc-4.6.27), and the Russian "KOI-8" (more precisely, "koi-8r") locale (e.g., in libc-4.6.27), so that having an environment variable | 16:18 |
henkjan | LC_CTYPE=IS-8859-1 sufficed to make ispIrint(3) return the right answer. These days non-English speaking Europeans have to work a bit harder, and must install actual locale files. | 16:18 |
ogra_ | no | 16:19 |
ogra_ | locale-gen de_DE.iso-8859-1 | 16:19 |
ogra_ | that will generate german locales | 16:19 |
ogra_ | with the awful iso set | 16:19 |
ogra_ | any reason to live in teh past and not use utf-8 ? | 16:20 |
henkjan | customer scripts interfacing with an oracle-db | 16:21 |
henkjan | and data in that locale | 16:21 |
ogra_ | and oracle is 20 years behind still ? | 16:21 |
ogra_ | oh my | 16:21 |
henkjan | history data i suppose | 16:21 |
hallyn | lifeless: hey, just curious, were you just playing with lxc-execute, or do you plan to use it? | 16:38 |

desperado | using KVM with LVM | 16:49 |
desperado | but I got some issues on windows installer | 16:49 |
desperado | also, is there a good idea to virtualize another ubuntu with services (LAMP/ samba)? | 16:50 |

resno | can anyone recommend some monitoring tools? | 17:07 |
jcastro | desperado: a good portion of the team is travelling, and everyone will be gone to UDS soon so you might want to punt to the mailing list. | 17:07 |
patdk-wk | resno, mirroring what? | 17:07 |
resno | i want to keep an eye on the servers cpu and stuff | 17:07 |
patdk-wk | oh, monitoring, heh, read fail :) | 17:07 |
resno | monitorx was one i heard about... maybe monit and munin | 17:07 |
resno | patdk-wk: :-) | 17:08 |
robbiew | desperado: hallyn is your man ;) | 17:08 |
resno | patdk-wk: i mispelled first | 17:08 |
desperado | alright | 17:08 |
patdk-wk | I personally use munin | 17:08 |
robbiew | desperado: smoser is good too, but he's in and out b/c he's at OpenStack Dev Summit | 17:08 |
resno | patdk-wk: i just found it worked the cpu a bit more then i liked | 17:09 |
robbiew | desperado: oh, and kirkland...but he's got his hands full with a baby :) | 17:09 |
patdk-wk | resno, than configure it differently :) | 17:09 |
resno | heh | 17:09 |
patdk-wk | I'm monitoring 20-50 items per server, and 50 servers | 17:09 |
patdk-wk | not even using 10% cpu | 17:09 |
resno | patdk-wk: ive got limited cpu power... | 17:10 |
patdk-wk | if you have limited cpu, you can't monitor | 17:10 |
desperado | robbiew: my boss asked me to set up a ubuntu server and virtualize a windows XP within it | 17:10 |
patdk-wk | if it's a single server only your monitoring, use sar? | 17:11 |
desperado | this ubuntu server should run LAMP and SMB | 17:11 |
patdk-wk | still find it funny if your munin install is using >100mhz cpu | 17:11 |
resno | sar? | 17:11 |
desperado | is it a good idea to virtualize another ubuntu server to run these services? | 17:11 |
robbiew | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo | 17:11 |
resno | patdk-wk: no, its not that limited... but there are times were it gets under load and theres a wait | 17:12 |
desperado | I`m running oneiric ocelot | 17:12 |
robbiew | jcastro: will probably kill me for not having an askubuntu.com link | 17:12 |
jcastro | :) | 17:12 |
robbiew | desperado: it all depends on the configuration and capacity of the server, tbh | 17:13 |
desperado | it`s a i5-2400 with 16gb ddr3 and 2x 2tb | 17:13 |
desperado | raid1 | 17:13 |
desperado | a nice machine | 17:13 |
hallyn | desperado: from what i see looking at the backlog, i don't see any problems, 'Just do it' | 17:14 |
robbiew | yep | 17:14 |
robbiew | what hallyn says | 17:14 |
desperado | I just tried installing windows xp through vnc this morning | 17:14 |
hallyn | desperado: and see https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/virtualization.html | 17:15 |
desperado | but it came up with a setup error I never saw before | 17:15 |
desperado | I found several tutorials on how doing it | 17:16 |
desperado | but none seemed to work properly | 17:16 |
desperado | (or maybe it`s just me being too dumb to follow some setps) | 17:16 |
hallyn | desperado: fwiw I don't use windows anywhere for anything, but ocne in awhile I do install it just to test, and haven't had trouble. | 17:16 |
hallyn | desperado: please do open a bug, that's probalby the best way to get the info needed to figure it out | 17:16 |
desperado | I made a windows sp2 bootable iso | 17:17 |
hallyn | uh, hm :) maybe ahs3 can help you :) | 17:17 |
hallyn | he does funky stuff with windows like that sometimes :) | 17:17 |
desperado | it started the vm, booted up and installed windows via dos. when it rebooted to config, an error dialog showed up | 17:18 |
hallyn | desperado: and if you open a bug, you can paste a screenshot/picture of the error dialog :) | 17:19 |
desperado | first I had trouble connecting to it through vnc to set up windows installer | 17:19 |
desperado | then i installed kde and connected to it locally | 17:19 |
hallyn | ok, so the server is remote and doesn't have x? (i.e. you couldn't do it logged in locally over SDL)? | 17:20 |
ahs3 | desperado: yeah, a bug would be good -- i install a couple of versions of Windows via virt-manager all the time. the only bugs i find that way are in Windows | 17:20 |
desperado | yeah, it`s a ubuntu server text-only | 17:22 |
hallyn | desperado: do you know how to file a bug? | 17:24 |
desperado | nope | 17:25 |
desperado | i think the response time will be too high for me | 17:26 |
desperado | It is supposed to be already done | 17:26 |
ahs3 | which windows are you installing? win7? win2008r2? | 17:26 |
desperado | I`m struggling with it since friday | 17:26 |
desperado | winXP | 17:26 |
* arosales reading backscroll for mysql server blueprint util | 17:27 | |
desperado | is there any way to give you access to connect and check it? | 17:27 |
ahs3 | hrm. haven't tried that one in a long time. who produces the error? windows? | 17:27 |
desperado | yea, windows show up an error dialog | 17:28 |
desperado | sorry, I didn`t take note | 17:28 |
desperado | :/ | 17:28 |
arosales | robbiew: thanks for approving the MySQL util blueprint | 17:28 |
desperado | but it`s a weird error, I never saw it | 17:28 |
ahs3 | ah, okay. was it a message about it not shutting down correctly? so it has to come back up in safe mode? | 17:28 |
hallyn | desperado: did you delete it? can you just restart it and see if you get the error again? | 17:28 |
desperado | oh... I already started a fresh ubuntu install | 17:29 |
desperado | X/ | 17:29 |
desperado | starting over again | 17:29 |
desperado | since friday I installed several packages | 17:29 |
desperado | and I decided to fresh install it rather than cleaning up | 17:30 |
desperado | since nothing was done yet | 17:30 |
ahs3 | there are some cases in other versions of Windows where Windows itself crashes (good ol' BSOD) on shutdown so you get errors on start-up. | 17:30 |
arosales | jcastro: any other actions needed for the MySQL blueprints? | 17:31 |
ahs3 | but, i've only seen those happen with the paravirtual drivers, not win-native drivers | 17:31 |
desperado | ahs3: that was not the case, it installed successfully and rebooted normally | 17:31 |
jcastro | arosales: I think just doublechecking them on the schedule next week or so should work? | 17:32 |
desperado | then, during configuration process it showed up an error dialog | 17:32 |
ahs3 | desperado: k. so something entirely different. good; that rules out that path | 17:32 |
jcastro | arosales: the Oracle folks are new to UDS, maybe doublechecking they understand when the sessions are as a precaution? | 17:32 |
desperado | ahs3: I`ll start it all over again right now | 17:33 |
desperado | which tutorial should I follow? | 17:33 |
arosales | jcastro: will it be showing up here: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-q/track/cloudserver/ | 17:33 |
desperado | I`ll do it using KVM and LVM | 17:33 |
arosales | shortly? | 17:33 |
desperado | ahs3: | 17:33 |
jcastro | arosales: the scheduler can be dumb sometimes, I check each day individually: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-q/2012-05-08/ | 17:34 |
arosales | jcastro: ah ok. I'll follow up with the Oracle folks to confirm they are aware of the time slots. Thanks for the help on the scheduling. | 17:35 |

halvors | Hi | 19:42 |
koolhead17 | hi | 19:42 |
halvors | I'm currently running ubuntu server with webmin. | 19:42 |
halvors | I think that's not recommended. | 19:42 |
halvors | So is there any simular solutions for hosting simple domains? | 19:43 |
halvors | And using virtualmin too. | 19:43 |
guntbert | !webmin | halvors | 19:43 |
ubottu | halvors: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 19:43 |
halvors | guntbert: I know. | 19:44 |
halvors | guntbert: I was asking that it's something similar with support for ubuntu i may use instead? | 19:45 |
guntbert | halvors: sorry, I didn't *really* read your question | 19:45 |
halvors | guntbert: Ok ;) | 19:45 |
wlan2 | ¿openpanel? | 19:46 |

resno | wlan2: streaming to a client... xbmc | 19:47 |

locuse | hi. i need to deploy -- well actually, rebuild -- a xen server. i've been on opensuse, but can no longer deal with the lack of support. sooooo, seriously considering ubuntu-server. iiuc, precise will (?) ship with xen-tools 4.2.1, which led me to suspect/hope xen itself will be v 4.2.1. but, poking around on packages.ubuntu.com, i'm finding only xen 4.1.x listed for precise. | 20:05 |

SpamapS | robbiew: So, I think we should have a btrfs session and gather everybody interested to talk about it. Seems like it is mostly kernel team's domain, but we want to be consumers.. | 22:19 |
SpamapS | robbiew: It should be worth noting that CEPH works fine on XFS, and Sage seemed to suggest that in the 12.04 kernel, it would be better to use XFS than BTRFS | 22:19 |
robbiew | SpamapS: I'd say foundations | 22:20 |
SpamapS | robbiew: I suppose.. filesystems are always tricky in that regard. :) | 22:20 |

Nafallo | locuse: it will say it's a development system for a week or two still, but who cares... | 22:35 |
locuse | Nafallo: so the 12-prelease route ... are all the 12 repos accessible? in opensuse-land, that's not always the case for a prerelease ... | 22:36 |
Nafallo | locuse: AFAIK, yes | 22:36 |

locuse | Nafallo: great, thx! well, good question -- just talking about access to any upgrades on the path to full release. again, in *suse, it's been -- if you install the prerelease, it's from .iso only, and the path to next prelease is, again, .iso only. | 22:44 |
locuse | oh, and does the ubuntu-server installer support mdadm-RAID (0,1,10) creation from within the graphical installer? or do i need to drop to a shell somehow? | 22:46 |
Nafallo | tui installer, but yes. it does. | 22:48 |
locuse | Nafallo: great, thx. help's appreciated. | 22:49 |
jkyle | locuse: are you doing hands off installs? e.g. pxe boots and such? | 22:59 |
roasted | HELLO | 23:14 |
roasted | Got a server here running DHCP with 2 NICs for LTSP usage, but 1 NIC fails to hand out DHCP while the other NIC works great. | 23:14 |
roasted | etc default dhcp3-server has eth0 and eth1 listed so both should be fine. | 23:15 |
roasted | the scope for both are identical with the exception of the 3rd octet (10.52.17.1 vs 10.52.18.1) | 23:15 |
roasted | any idea why dhcp could work on one NIC but not the other? I'm downright baffled. | 23:15 |

locuse | jkyle: no, not as yet. | 23:34 |
locuse | jkyle: atm, migrating a xen host from opensuse -> ubuntu-server, with raid boot, root& data arrays. trying to 1st recover hosed arrays, and 2nd migrate as much server config as is possible. | 23:38 |
locuse | very hands on ... | 23:38 |
jkyle | locuse: ah, we use post-flight scripts on automated installs for advanced partitioning. . . much easier than mucking with teh debian-installer | 23:38 |
locuse | jkyle: sure. did the same in suse-land. xen guests are, of course, trivial. the smoke-pouring-from-the-server complicated my life a bit .. | 23:39 |
jkyle | partman is like some kind of black magic if you're dealing with more than one disk or raids | 23:40 |
locuse | jkyle: generally i prefer to get to the shell -- cfdisk/sfdisk & mdadm go a long way ... though i'd be much happier if btrfs were production ready. | 23:42 |
locuse | even opensuse's graphical installer -- which is generally quite nice -- is a waste-of-bits when it comes to advanced raid config | 23:42 |
