Gallomimiascuse me how do i get php installed on ubuntu server? not using it with apache01:08
Bluemalkinhi - does anyone have some tips on using rsyslog/relp for custom logs?01:08
Gallomimiaoh. apt-get install php501:09
Gallomimiathe number tripped me up01:09
hallynUrsinha: (see tnachen's question) do you know of a good query for finding fix released bugs (say in libvirt) which are still open for older releases?02:20
Ursinhahallyn, well, let me think a bit02:26
Ursinha(where think means open ipython and poke launchpad :))02:26
hallynUrsinha: thanks :)  (no hurry, I'm pretty sure)02:34

Paladinecan full disk encryption be applied to a running server or does it have to be done during disk setup/partioning?04:08
SpamapSPaladine: if you have spare space, you can use LVM to migrate to full disk encryption.. but its non-trivial.04:16
SpamapSPaladine: probably simpler to do a full backup, reinstall w/ full disk encryption, then restore.04:16
Paladineyeah that was my thoughts, I think i will wait til next LTS when I do a hardware upgrade04:17
Paladinegiven this is a production server04:17
Paladineit is more a "nice to have" feature atm than an essential one04:17
SpamapSnext LTS .. meaning... next week? ;)04:17
Paladineis it next week?04:17
SpamapSaye04:17
SpamapS'tis04:18
Paladinewell i won't be installing it next week hehe04:18
SpamapSyeah wait for .104:18
SpamapS:)04:18
Paladinewill have to wait until June04:18
SpamapSThough, give it a test run on release day, and report some bugs, so June will go more smoothly :)04:18
PaladineI would if I had the time, that is why it will have to wait until June04:18
Paladine10.4 has been good to me so far04:19
Paladineit can wait a couple more months04:19
Paladinethanks for the advice though, much appreciated, I know it is late04:20

pythonirc101after a few hours (or days sometimes), my ubuntu box changes the file system to read only. Can anyone please help. I tried doing touch /forcechk ; reboot...but it still does the same thing over time.13:02
pythonirc101pangolin: any ideas?13:02
rbasakpythonirc101: sounds like a corrupt filesystem, or faulty hardware causing a corrupt filesystem. You should be able to check the cause by examining the bottom of "dmesg" output. If this is the case then I'd boot a recovery image and do a full fsck by hand.13:06

gary_posterhallyn, hi.  we are running with lxc 0.7.5-3ubuntu52 on ec2, which should have the fix for bug 974584 AFAIK (from 0.7.5-3ubuntu51).  We're making lucid containers on precise.  We still see the semaphore problem until we manually make the change you described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/974584/comments/6 .  Is this unexpected/buggy, or according to plan?  (If we have to add the manual change from now14:39
gary_poster on, that's ok, but I'd like to verify that this is the intent.)14:39

RoyKresno: given you have room for the drives, all I can think if, is a mini-SAS-to-4-sata-plugs-cable15:36
RoyKpreferably two of those15:36
resnoRoyK: ah, thats what i was missing. i only see 2 connectors on the card, so i wasnt sure how the connecting worked15:37
RoyK:)15:37
resnoi knew it could do more... but its not magic15:37
resnoRoyK: can you recommend another sas card, thats "affordable" this for my own home useage15:41
RoyKresno: AOC-SAT2-MV8 is a good board, but with good-old 32bit/33MHz PCI, it'll probably be too slow for large drives15:43
resnoRoyK: large drive being 2TB?15:43
RoyKyes15:43
RoyKLSI 3081 is a good board too15:43
RoyKonly 3Gbps (not 6 like the LSI 9xxx boards), but still, that's quite sufficient for spinning drives15:44

RoyKand seems you can get that for sub $100 on ebay15:45
RoyKresno: AFAIK, yes, although on some platforms (solaris), the mpt driver used for the 3Gbps boards, sucks rather badly15:45

* RoyK mumbles something about ZFS17:59
hlanand can't get any crash logs, EC2 really sucks for debugging kernel crashes... no output at all17:59
hlanI switched from ZFS to BTRFS because ZFS on linux was horrible. ZFS crashed every day as well and finally had to switch because it crashed consistently on boot18:00
hlanBTRFS is at least better because it's much simpler to work with subvolumes and it doesn't hog memory18:01

RoyKhlan: zfs on solaris/fbsd is *very* stable18:01
hlanRoyK: btrfs should not be that unstable... it was considered as the official file system by some distro18:02
RoyKhlan: which distro?18:02
hlanthe main concern is the lack of diskcheck18:02
hlanwhich exists now18:02
hlanthe main problem is that btrfs that is bundled with Oneiric is from like 2010...18:03
hlanRoyK: don't remember18:03
RoyKhlan: but which distro? or is that your average {{citation needed}} ?18:03
hlanRoyK: "Fedora17 to seriously consider Btrfs as default file system"18:04
