=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [01:23] Ugh, trying to update to 12.04 LTS via SSH (remote VPS), and the screen is stuck on Configuring console-data [01:23] no response ? [01:24] No, it's wanting me to select keymap, but my keyboard isn't responding. [01:24] urghhh, any kind of web-console ? [01:24] or any other way to interact with your VPS ? [01:24] Yeah, I have console access through my host. [01:25] oh, nice then [01:25] take a look at your web-console, and see if you can choose your keymap from there [01:25] Alright [01:27] Web console isn't work, but I'm able to log int to a second SSH connection, should I try to restart the install? [01:29] uhmm [01:29] It dont seem as there is any damage, Apache is still working properly. [01:30] you could do that [01:30] Let's give it a shot! Worst case scenerio, I reinstall everything! [01:31] JonEdney: yeah, but you know, that scenario is not the happiest one [01:31] :) [01:31] True it is not. This VPS has been a project for me, it's my first Linux experience. [01:32] oh [01:32] a hint [01:32] Nothing really on it, as long as it dont melt I'm happy lol [01:32] Lol [01:32] a tip [01:32] install screen [01:32] and use it on this kind of task [01:33] it will help you some times, for example, updating and losing your connection [01:33] you log-in again and re-connect with your screen (in the screen where your task was running ) [01:33] Screen is a program? I've never heard of it. [01:33] yes [01:33] let me find you some info [01:34] Let me search for it in the software centre [01:34] It's available on official repositories [01:34] http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/screen/ [01:34] here's man page for Screen [01:34] Ah great, let me check this out. [01:34] it's really easy to use and really useful [01:35] and believe me (i manage around 160 linux servers) , this will really help you [01:35] Ah great, I'll install this and check it out. [01:35] :) [01:36] Thank you. [01:36] JonEdney: you're welcome ! [01:46] my ubuntu upgrade to 12.04 failed. i have my system chrooted right now. when i do apt-get update, i get this error: 21% [Working]FATAL -> Could not set non-blocking flag Bad file descriptor E: Method http has died unexpectedly! E: Sub-process http returned an error code (100) . . When i force upgrade, i get dpkg-preconfigure: unable to re-open stdin: No such file or directory Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts [01:46] any suggestions? [01:54] Well, I think the upgrade was a bust LOL [01:54] JonEdney: really ? [01:55] I didn't understand the screen program, so I went back in via SSH and restarted the install, and it continued. [01:55] When it was done, it said upgrade was done. [01:55] So I rebooted, was unsure if it needed it. [01:55] Still waiting on it lol [01:55] cross your fingers :-P [01:56] Thats about it. [01:56] Losing hope, restarted it 5 minutes ago. [01:56] :S [01:56] It's an unmanaged VPS, so I have no way to see any errors. [01:56] what about web-console? [01:57] can you see errors there ? [01:57] No, says container not running. [01:58] uhmmm [01:58] no ping, no ssh ? [01:59] Nope, it's offline. I'm going to try and sent a boot request. [01:59] Ugh, immediately goes offline [02:00] ugh [02:00] :( [02:00] Killed it lol [02:01] All I had on it was Apache and such, so it wont take long to bring it back. [02:01] alright then [02:02] Appreciate your help virusuy! [02:02] JonEdney: you're always welcome man [02:02] i'll be here almost all day , so .. you can ping me if you need help [02:03] I was introduced to Ubuntu about 2 months ago, and have been a fanatic since, I just keep wanting to learn more and more. [02:03] That's the way man [02:03] learn something new everyday [02:03] Ubuntu community its awesome, not only here in ubuntu-server, but in general, awesome people, a lot of knoledge [02:04] knowledge* [02:04] I work for a web hosting company, so this is really helping with my understanding. [02:04] I've really noticed. [02:04] JonEdney: really? wich one ? [02:04] A2 Hosting [02:04] do you have VPS ? [02:04] Yeah, managed and unmanaged [02:05] oh, i'm checking your website [02:05] Cool, got any questions let me know. [02:05] cool man, thank you [02:36] hi [02:37] Anyone know where the 12.04 server install error log would be kept? I just upgraded 11.10 to 12.04, and it says upgrade complete but with errors. [02:41] i remember my ubuntu server used to have a colorized console [02:41] but its not colorized anymore! what could have happened? [04:04] anyone alive here? [04:05] stiv2k: hey [04:06] virusuy hey do you see my question [04:08] stiv2k: which one ? sorry [04:08] 22:42 < stiv2k> i remember my ubuntu server used to have a colorized console [04:08] 22:42 < stiv2k> but its not colorized anymore! what could have happened? [04:08] uhmm let me find [04:08] 'cos you can set that up easly [04:11] in your .basrch you can find something like this [04:11] # set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we "want" color) [04:11] case "$TERM" in [04:11] xterm-color) color_prompt=yes;; [04:11] esac [04:15] or more easey [04:15] easy [04:16] in your .basrch [04:16] bashrc* [04:16] force color, uncomment the line force_color_prompt=yes [04:17] then you should close your terminal, and open it again [04:17] stiv2k: [04:35] hi [04:35] thanks virusuy ! [04:35] stiv2k: you're welcome [04:36] hmm [04:36] i dont have a .bashrc though? [04:36] you should [04:36] in your home folder [04:36] i dont [04:36] unless you're not using bash [04:36] EvilResistance: good point [04:36] uh [04:36] if you use zsh, its .zshrc, if its something else, dont ask me :P: [04:36] * EvilResistance won't know [04:36] i mean [04:37] ubuntu server uses bash by default??? [04:37] of course im using bash! [04:37] stiv2k: ls -al ~ [04:37] see if .bashrc shows up in that [04:37] (by default, its hidden, because of the ., so standard ls doesn't show it) [04:37] no it does not [04:37] just .bash_history [04:37] and other files [04:38] i think thats why i dont have colorization [04:39] other users accounts on my machine have a .bashrc but i seem to have accidentally removed mine or something [04:39] oh [04:39] nice [04:39] :-P [04:39] well , as root you can copy .bashrc from others home folder [04:39] and change permissions [04:39] hmm [04:39] is there a real default one somewhere else in the system [04:40] like /etc/ [04:40] yes [04:40] in /etc [04:40] you can find [04:40] bash.bashrc [04:41] but [04:41] i don't know if thats a default file [04:42] ok [04:44] ok i fixed it [04:47] thanks virusuy EvilResistance [04:55] stiv2k: you're welcome [05:15] virusuy my server has been up for 256 days :) [05:16] wooho !! [05:16] server of ? [05:16] web? bd? mail? [05:17] http://stats.stiv2k.info [05:17] my ubuntu 8.04 in us-east-1 is like over 800 days now hehe [05:18] web, irc, bittorrent, ssh, [05:18] um [05:18] i forget what else it runs [05:18] it runs BOINC 24/7 [05:18] at least phpsysinfo is a bit tidier these days. you should checkout ohai :) [05:18] i will :) [05:19] and collectd/rrd for metrics [05:19] is those load averages real, you must have it working hard [05:19] oh its an atom [05:19] flaccid url to ohai? [05:19] yes it runs BOINC 24/7 [05:19] computing for science [05:19] its a netbook! [05:20] wow [05:20] ATOM N270 [05:20] acer aspire one ZG5 [05:20] is the netbook [05:21] nice [05:21] i will set up a HTPC soon [05:21] and will be my webserver/mailserver/htpc/bittorrent [05:21] stiv2k: just search chef ohai or something like that. its part of chef but its portable/standalone [05:21] ok [05:22] heh if the netbook hasn't blown up yet, nice work y0 hehe [05:22] yeah [05:22] when i first set it up i was concerned about overheating [05:22] i was considering removing the LCD and palm reast and installing an 80mm fan or something [05:22] 94% memory usage ? [05:22] wow, thats alot [05:22] its all cached mem i think [05:22] anyhow [05:22] after the first 30 days or so of no problems i just left it alone [05:23] it seems to be handling the load fine [05:23] virusuy yea its 35% cached [05:23] stiv2k: nice then [05:23] 47% kernel [05:23] its so stable, i love it [05:24] i havent rebooted it once yet [05:24] since the day i set it up [05:24] i dont even know if my /etc/fstab is properly setup because i never rebooted to test [05:24] lol [05:24] you should check out that now [05:24] so i dont know if it will automatically mount the external HDD upon bootup [05:24] where my /home is [05:25] virusuy all i got is [05:25] UUID=e583c246-f145-4821-9d82-2a1710aa7d14 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 [05:25] UUID=66aa7d2b-2805-47a3-9f18-2b8d2ace60a2 /home ext4 [05:25] the / is the netbook's 8GB solid state disk [05:25] /home is an external 320GB usb drive [05:26] well [05:26] flaccid what is chef? [05:27] stiv2k: system integrations framework [05:27] and i cant see a screenshot of what it looks like or anything [05:28] brb [05:29] stiv2k: screenshot? its not a web app [05:30] flaccid oh [05:30] suprised someone hasn't done a json/yaml to xml then done xslt or simliar though, would be powerful [05:30] then i think i'll stick with phpsysinfo :) [05:30] btw [05:30] http://stiv2k.info/files/pics/server/P9251610.JPG << my server :) [05:30] i moved it from that location [05:30] but the setup is essentially the same still [05:30] stiv2k: gem install ohai then run the command ohai and then observe how much more info you get over phpcrapinfo [05:31] flaccid lol ok, you convinced me [05:31] not saying its a replacement for phpsysinfo, its something else [05:31] i see [05:31] gotta install gem [05:32] it wants to install 72 packages :S [05:32] sweet [05:32] meh [05:33] welcome to the new world :) [05:34] new world? [05:34] yes [05:35] like when christopher colombus landed in america? [05:36] like when people realized its 2012 and php is lame [05:36] php isn't lame... [05:36] i've used it for years [05:37] i've used it since it was invented. [05:37] heh [05:43] i want to have ubuntu DVD with full packages like VPN, DHCPD which normal installer CD or iso do not include [05:43] where can I get? [05:46] linocisco: if its not on the dvd you are sol [05:46] unless you make your own === linocisco is now known as erect [05:47] flaccid, what is sol? [05:47] shit out of luck [05:47] flaccid, I dont know how to download DVD for free [05:48] neither do i unless you have a free internet connection [05:48] back [05:49] flaccid, link please [05:50] for? [05:50] flaccid and erect, what a nice combination [05:50] flaccid, link to DVD [05:50] virusuy http://stiv2k.info/files/pics/server/P9251610.JPG <<< my server [05:50] virusuy, i made it nice to see interesting [05:51] stiv2k: nice! probably next month i'll bought a new laptop (Lenovo edge e420) and my actual notebook (Dell inspiron 1525) will be my new server [05:51] :-D [05:51] erect: you have never seen the download page on the site? [05:51] flaccid, yes. I never saw [05:51] virusuy: it not legit. linocisco changed nicknames. [05:52] flaccid: i see [05:52] virusuy i used to have a desktop pc as my server, it ran for about 4 years non stop, when i finally took it out of service it was beat to shit.... all capacitors were leaking and the cpu fan was nearly dead [05:52] under 100% load [05:52] the whole time [05:52] wow [05:53] http://stiv2k.info/files/pics/server/P9131609.JPG <-- the day i took it out of service [05:53] http://stiv2k.info/files/pics/server/P9131607.JPG [05:53] lol [05:54] dust, dust everywhere [05:54] yeah [05:54] i never dusted it out [05:54] erect: its pretty easy to find if you can actually navigate a website, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads [05:54] i actually STILL use that machine [05:54] even with those capacitors like that [05:54] its now the pc in my repair shop [05:54] flaccid, is it for desktop , right? I am looking for server version [05:54] oh, it's alive ? [05:55] i thought it was dead [05:55] no virusuy [05:55] it works fine [05:55] wow [05:55] i took it out of service because it was incredibly noisy [05:55] erect: its ubuntu. its for whatever [05:55] (the fan) [05:55] and [05:55] stiv2k: caused by dust [05:55] obviously [05:55] yeah [05:55] it also consumes a lot of power (my estimates about 150W) [05:55] i was looking for a more energy efficient solution [05:56] this netbook power supply is rated for only 30W :) [05:56] http://mirror.eftel.com/ubuntu-dvd/12.04/release/ [05:56] :) [05:56] flaccid, I want to make sure if it includes software like DHCPD, VPN, squid a standard installer iso does not have. I dont need or want language pack [05:56] erect: you might have to download it then. i can't tell you what it includes. [05:57] flaccid, ok. thanks === erect is now known as linocisco [05:58] personally i generally use netinst for any manual installs by media [05:59] flaccid, here is the place where internet is bad or slow [06:00] bit torrent helps there [06:00] dhcpd, vpn and squid would not be large in size to download though [06:00] but ubuntu can't provide you good internet sorry [06:01] flaccid, ok thanks bro. [06:02] hi all, what are new features on 12.04 LTS server version compared to previous versions? [06:02] read the release notes === smw_ is now known as smw === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [09:15] anybody from Tirana? [11:06] i guess the people from Tirana would be. === feisar__ is now known as feisar [12:03] hi guys [12:03] why is scst not integrated into Ubuntu ? [14:29] Is 11.10 server downloads still available? [14:30] I'm having a problem with upgrading 11.10 to 12.04 on my VPS< so I wanted to install it on a VM to see if i receive the same issues. [14:30] I see them on my local mirror. [14:31] what exact problem are you having? [14:31] I have a VPS at a web host, unmanaged VPS so I have to handle everything myself, running 11.10. I ran the upgrade command, and it says installed but with errors. [14:32] First attempt, crashed my VPS, had to reinstall 11.10. 2nd attempt didn't, but indicated server was running 11.10, but when i ran updates, it was pulling info for 12.04 [14:32] So I'm trying recreate it so I can try and see what is going on. [14:32] what command did you run? [14:33] I believe it was do-release upgrade if I recall. [14:34] Then we found out my VPS is running kernal 2.6.x and 12.04 needs 3.2.x. SO I'm unsure if 12.04 is stupposed to upgrade that for me (it did on desktop) [14:34] yes, it is. [14:35] can you pastebin the errors you got? [14:36] It didn't list the errors in the console (had to do this via SSH, only access I have). [14:36] I tried seeing if there was an installation error log, but couldn't locate one. [14:36] Currently, I put my VPS back to 11.10 so I could get it back up. === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [14:37] normally, you can't upgrade the kernel of a vps [14:37] that is why it's a vps and not a vm [14:38] JonEdney, also, 11.10 uses a 3.0 kernel. not 2.6.x [14:38] Maybe thats the problem then, I'm unsure. I was just going to wait until the host offers 12.04 LTS as an install option. [14:38] Really? [14:38] I'm running 11.10, and when i checked the kernel version, it was 2.something [14:38] I'm not saying that 3.0 is required, but that is what 11.10 will install [14:38] Interesting. [14:39] well, my 10.04 vps was running on a centos 2.6.18 kernel [14:39] and the vps people said 10.04 was supported, so wrong [14:39] lol [14:39] well, 10.04 worked, but a crapload of the stuff I needed, required a later kernel [14:39] Right. [14:40] I"m currently working on getting my hands on a spare PC (never really needed one), and running my server from my house so I can have ultimate control. [14:41] I don't know if there's an official definition of "vps", but if you have root, you can upgrade the kernel. Are there vm providers where this is out of bounds? [14:41] mardraum, if it's a vm, yes, you upgrade root [14:41] vps is not a vm [14:41] they control the bootstrap and kernel? [14:41] heh? that would be a vm [14:42] vps is normally more limited than that [14:42] vps is a marketing term [14:43] or at best, roughly defined [14:43] normally vps are based on lxc, or openvz [14:44] ah, openvz and such [14:44] sometimes xen paravirtual [14:44] though, if it's a real virtual machine, I would call it a vm, instead of vps, be it kvm, full xen, qemu, ... [14:44] I would too [14:45] but lots of people use "vps" even in #kvm when talking about their vm [14:45] yep [14:45] head->desk [14:45] but given the fact his kernel wasn't updated, he isn't on a vm vps :) [14:45] JonEdney: who is your vps provider? [14:46] A2 hosting [14:46] openvz [14:47] I have a user-managed VPS, root access, they do not provide support unless it's a hardware or networking issue. [14:48] JonEdney: patdk-lap believes you are on openvz so yeah, you're screwed. [14:48] the burstable ram, is a dead giveaway [14:48] if it wasn't openvz, the ram would be fixed [14:48] patdk-lap: nice spot, thanks [14:49] JonEdney: if you want to know a decent "real" vm provider (kvm) I can /msg you ( I use them, I don't work for them, I don't think I should post links here) [14:49] except vmware supports hot-plug memory and cpu? :-) [14:50] not for that price : [14:50] :p [14:50] mardraum, yeah shoot me a msg [14:57] Nafallo, not really hotplug, but hotadd [14:57] once you add, you can't remove [14:57] so that isn't *burstable* [14:57] specifics :-P [14:58] I used to use freebsd jails like vps [14:58] after a few years, dumped that idea, too much to manage [14:58] xen paravirtual was nicer [14:58] now I just run fully vmware === unreal_ is now known as unreal [15:11] patdk-lap: you use vmware for servers at home too? [15:12] not at home, in my rack [15:13] I like to use KVM vms as development environments. but you weren't asking me. foreveralone.jpg ;) [15:15] where is this channel logged ? thought it said in the topic... [15:15] !logs [15:15] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [15:15] thanks. [15:20] * JonEdney ends life [15:20] I'm going to have to set something to flames. [15:23] Both my 11.10 and 12.04 installations on VirtualBox froze at 75% storing language [15:27] Ubuntu cloud is still an enterprise thing, for virtualization on multiple computers right? [15:28] I read also that KVM is now at 1.0, which is probably what I still need. Wonder whats new [15:35] zastaph https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuCloudInfrastructure [15:35] it uses openstack basically. [15:39] I've had some trouble with it http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/sxmy4/maas_my_handson_look/ , but in theory MaaS + Juju + openstack is the way to go [15:41] odd, it says it assumes 10nodes? [15:41] maybe I mistake it with Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud [15:41] what does Ubuntu Cloud really give me? [15:41] I think 6 is the minimum. [15:41] MaaS replaces UEC [15:41] seems like a high min, I wonder why [15:42] I think the min is 6 servers for an openstack installation [15:44] is it basically an ubuntu server that has the power of X computers behind it, or does it give some extra services? [15:45] zstaph, that's more like an SMP image, something along the lines of kerrighed http://www.kerrighed.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page [15:45] MaaS allows for automatic deployment and provisioning servers. [15:46] guess KVM is what I need [15:46] juju handles the configuration and service deployment, and openstack is the "cloud" management software. [15:47] KVM is a hypervisor for virtualization, [15:49] its just, cloud is a vague term :) [15:49] http://owncloud.org seems some kind of webdav service [15:49] ^^^This, this, this, a thousand times this. [15:49] three18ti: Error: "^^This," is not a valid command. [15:49] am looking for a dropbox replacement for a "private cloud" [15:50] ok, KVM is likely not what you need. [15:51] well the service could probably run on KVM [15:51]
