RamJettOn an new install 12.04 LTS. Is there a way in grub, pre-boot, to force keyboard somehow. System drops to intramfs, says continuing md sync, but I get no keyboard. The box only has usb.01:29
SpamapSRamJett: your BIOS doesn't detect the USB keyboard?01:34
SpamapSRamJett: usually the kernel will pick it up tho01:35
RamJettYes, keyboard works fine until initramfs loads01:37

three18ti_or, how do I get into my newly provisioned node?03:34
RoyKthree18ti_: I've seen a few questions about it, and to be honest, I don't know, but googling maas passwd, it gives a few hints03:54
three18ti_thanks RoyK,03:59
three18ti_problem is I don't think that helps me... or if it does, I'm not sure what to do with that information...  This seems to be to reset the password to login to the maas web interface, I04:04
three18ti_I'm trying to login to a node that I provisioned though.04:05

zastaphI followed http://www.php2s.com/linux/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-12-04-for-desktops-servers-running-10-04-or-11-10.html to upgrade LTS 10 to LTS 12, but cat /etc/issue and other means to check for version all shows maverick15:23
zastaphalso I had to set Prompt from lts to normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades for it to actually run15:23
zastaphwhich kinda tells me it couldnt detect 12.04 lts ?15:23
zastaph_disconnected :( if anyone answered15:30
albert23zastaph_: lts to lts upgrades will only be offered after the 12.04.1 release, end of July16:11
zastaph_ok16:12
zastaph_i wonder what it actually did, it took some time16:12
zastaph_maybe it just reinstalled itself :)16:12
hlanI'm testing precise and /etc/rc.local doesn't seem to run anymore...16:12
hlanI need /etc/rc.local to start instance specific custom daemons on startup16:13
hlanhas /etc/rc.local been deprecated or something?16:13
albert23zastaph_: As you switched from lts to normal upgrades, you probably really did the upgrade to maverick16:14
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
zastaph_albert23, ok I messed up :) I'm gonna install 12.04 from scratch16:14
albert23probably the best thing to do now16:15
albert23the alternative is to go maverick - natty- oneiric -precise16:15

hattorihanzohey guys,16:42
hattorihanzohow can i test the integrity of my disk?16:43
hattorihanzoim not sue i can use smartctl, this is on xen vps (ubuntu 11.10)16:43
hattorihanzoi try smartctl on /dev/xvda1 but it says it cant do anything with it16:44
RoyKhattorihanzo: smartctl won't check the data, only ask the disk if it thinks everything's ok16:45
RoyKhattorihanzo: fsck will check the metadata on the filesystem16:45
RoyKhattorihanzo: the actual data isn't checksummed on most filesystems - afaik only btrfs and zfs does that on linux (and zfs only throug fuse)16:46
Exopalad1nI imagine the native ZFS module does too, although it isn't entirely complete16:49
RoyKit needs to do so if it's doing zfs16:56
RoyKbut I thought that was pretty fscking far from stable...16:56
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
qman__yeah, I thought it was about on par with the old kernel ntfs module16:58
qman__don't let it write to your disks unless you don't care what happens16:59
RoyKsomething like that16:59

RamJettDoes anyone use software raid 5, 6, or 10 with 4 or more drives and not have a boot problem with it going in degrade almost every reboot? This is starting to really drive me crazy.17:35
qman__RamJett, I have a raid 6, 11 + 1 spare17:55
RamJettI've setup 12.04 LTS on 4 Dell boxes now .. none work consistently., in fact very rarely. Am I missing something? I can do Gentoo and works perfect.17:57
qman__well, I don't know if there's a 12.04 issue, I'm running 10.0417:59
qman__but I have lots of raids on lots of different versions without any such issue17:59
qman__including a 3 disk raid 5 on 12.04 beta18:00
RoyKraid-11?18:02
RoyKthat's fancy ;)18:02
RamJettI think there is a race condition bug in the initramfs, but have not been able get it to work. Have 2 boxes with 12 drives and trying to get raid 6 across all 12. No luck on everything I try18:03
RoyKRamJett: booting from raid-[56]?18:03
RamJettI boot from a /dev/sda2 ... The raid array is extra storage for nova18:04
RoyKIMHO there should be a distinct split between data drives and system drives18:04
RoyKs/IMHO/IMO/18:05
qman__that's how I do it too, 4GB quantum fireball for /boot and /, 11 disk raid 6 for /home18:05
RoyKqman__: sounds reasonable18:05
Nafallodepends on the service, surely.18:05
* RoyK wants data checksumming on ext418:05
qman__would be nice18:06
qman__I have experienced silent corruption issues18:06
RoyKso have I, on zfs, so zfs pinpointed the corrupt files, but since the filesystem was on hw raid, we had to restore from backup18:07
qman__no recourse here, had to recreate the data18:07
qman__I do have backups now18:07
RamJettIs there a way to skip the raid in the initramfs and just do it after system is up18:08
RoyKsilent errors are rather bad18:08
RoyKRamJett: do you boot off a raid set?18:08
RamJettNo, raw /dev/sda218:09
RoyKso what happens?18:09
Nafallothere is a setting somewhere to allow boot in degraded mode18:09
RoyKNafallo: iirc that's booting *from* a degraded md dev18:10
RoyKNafallo: his rootfs is on a separate partition18:10
RoyKhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID#Boot_from_Degraded_Disk18:11
RamJettbut initramfs drops into shell every reboot .. says degrade mode. Yes, the degrade mode setting is set, but still stops and asks .. do you want to boot .. if you doen't answer it drops into shell. The box is in a data center. I don't want to be there for every re-boot18:11
hattorihanzoroyk: this is a box i just setup, not trying to recover anydata, i've just noticed data being corrupted18:11
Nafalloright. that's what I was thinking of.18:12
RoyKRamJett: try to boot on a livecd and force a scrub of that raid set18:12
RoyKRamJett: scrub as in "echo check > /sys/block/$dev/md/sync_action"18:13
RoyK$dev being md0 or something18:13
RoyKhattorihanzo: try the same - silent errors are troublesome at best18:14
RamJettRoyK : It is a boot problem though . a bug .. if I pull all 12 drives and let it boot .. then plug in when the system is up. All is good18:14
RoyKRamJett: yes, but please try to scrub it first, there might be some errors there that the md driver reacts to18:15
RamJettRoyK; I can try, just don't thing is the problem. Brand new boxes 3 Dell R515 .. all have the same issue18:17
RoyKouch18:17
RoyKdouble-plus ungood :รพ18:17
RoyKRamJett: which ubuntu version?18:18
RamJettAlso a Dell R710 .. same issue18:18
RamJettServer 12.04 LTS iso from the 26th18:18
RoyKtry lucid18:19
RoyKprecise is still young18:19
RoyKlucid is rock stable18:19
RamJettyeah it works ok with 10.04 LTS .. but these boxes are going to run OpenStack Essex18:20
RoyKthen file a bug18:20
RoyKRamJett: and if you have paid support for it, canonical may fix it quickly...18:20
RamJettRoyK: On this one I would love to pay for the support. Haven't had to pay for any support for many years .. like the 90's . But my company won't pay for anything .. hardly pays for me. I'll see what I can do18:23
qman__yeah, it's too soon to expect every bug to have a fix or workaround18:23
qman__in a month or two it'll probably be sorted out18:23
RoyKRamJett: it's not very expensive...18:23
JonEdneyWill upgrading my 11.10 server to 12.04 remove my data, or will it just update the OS files?18:33
JonEdneyI assume it will work as the 12.04 desktop did, but want to be sure.18:33
RoyKit won't remove any data18:33
JonEdneyThanks RoyK18:34

vinhdizzoi just upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 server.  now, i get "segmentation fault" when i type "sudo" or "su".  dmesg shows segfault [15775.893368] sudo[4628]: segfault at 500 ip b6ff7741 sp bfad9250 error 4 in libpthread-2.15.so[b6ff2000+17000] .  Any thoughts?19:29
RoyKvinhdizzo: probably something rather bad happened - I'd try to boot a live cd to see if things work there19:29
RoyKif they do, reinstall19:30
vinhdizzoRoyK: as in wipe it clean???19:30
RoyKif you can, yes - not the data, though, only system19:31
vinhdizzoi have so many configs19:32
vinhdizzoi was really hoping not to have to re-install packages and configs19:32
guntbertvinhdizzo: you can back up the whole /etc from the live CD19:33
vinhdizzoi see19:34
vinhdizzohopefully there is a way to fix19:34
vinhdizzowithout having to resort to that19:34
