[01:41] <smw_> anyone ever see java freeze?
[01:41] <smw_> whenever I do something like even have it give its version, it hangs for an ungodly amount of time
[01:42] <smw_> $ time java -version
[01:42] <smw_> real	0m8.397s
[01:42] <smw_> (other than the time, it works)
[02:05] <ScottK> Insert joke here about Java being so slow when it works it's hard to tell.
[03:28] <KM0201> how do i get pulsaudio to start automatically i boot my server?  i've installed pulse audio, if i log into the server locally, type startx, then pavucontrol, make any adjustment i want ( just folume or whatever) hit escape, hit startx, audio is fine... but i don't have audio "automatically" (the server is hooked to my TV)
[04:53] <RoyK> KM0201: dunno - does pulseaudio run under X? if so, it's not really an ubuntu-server thing
[04:54] <KM0201> RoyK: the weird thing is, when i start X, and i get the terminal window, if i type "pavucontrol".. audio works fine when i start xbmc
[04:54] <KM0201> dunno, can't figure this one out.
[04:54] <KM0201> not really a big deal though
[04:55] <RoyK> X things don't really belong to servers, though
[05:01] <KM0201> RoyK: i'm aware of that
[05:01] <KM0201> i'm trying to make my server like a media PC, w/ xbmc
[07:55] <acidflash> hello all
[07:56] <acidflash> I am seeing a phenomenon using ubuntu-server
[07:56] <acidflash> I have ubuntu-server installed on a http squid proxy
[07:57] <acidflash> outside of my proxy, my latency is 160 ms, but INSIDE of my proxy, even if I am alone, there is no one else on the proxy other then myself
[07:57] <acidflash> my delay will increase to 305-325ms
[07:58] <acidflash> is this linux related, or is it squid related?
[07:58] <Jeeves_> I think it's infrastructure-related
[08:00] <acidflash> aha... so neither ?
[08:00] <acidflash> probably due to loss and other stuff on my network?
[08:00] <Jeeves_> I'd say so, yes.
[08:01] <acidflash> are there any rules or guidelines which i can apply to test this scenario: ie: natting = XXX ms loss, etc.
[08:02] <Jeeves_> natting should not introduce latency nor packetloss
[08:02] <acidflash> what might be possible causes ?
[08:04] <Jeeves_> A switch in between with issues
[08:04] <Jeeves_> A hub in between with issues
[08:05] <Jeeves_> A cable in between with issues
[08:12] <acidflash> mrmm,
[08:12] <acidflash> even if ping is less then 1 ms as icmp to the proxy from the other end of the network?
[09:25] <SC-RM> Hi, I'm trying to set up a maas controlled server farm, and I have followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuCloudInfrastructure but all my nodes have "instance-state: unknown" any help on to make it go into running state. I have successfully deploy openstack on top of it, and it's running, but this lack of correct message here bugs me, because, what is wrong?
[09:28] <SC-RM> Or some log where I could look into to see, what is the cause of it

[12:01] <zul> good morning
[12:11] <smb> zul morning, hows the xen merge for quantal going. (nag nag)
[12:12] <zul> smb: *sigh*
[12:12] <smb> I know I am a pain. :)
[12:18] <zul> smb: doing a local test build right now, it got synched again so i rediffed the merge based on your stuff
[12:18] <smb> zul, Bah, terribly moving target...
[12:19] <zul> smb:  yeah ive seen worse though...moving targets that is ;)
[12:22] <smb> zul, Yeah, there likely are. Still quite unsatisfying to find any merge done already obsolete one or two weeks later. Some people seem bored on late Sundays... ;-P
[12:23] <zul> smb: like i am :)

[13:03] <mklappstuhl> How can I install Pear (php-pear) on ubuntu server? Going with the official way results in "E: Package 'php-pear' has no installation candidate
[13:08] <ReekenX> mklappstuhl: What distro version you are running?
[13:12] <zul> smb: uploaded
[13:12] <smb> zul, Awesome! Thanks. :)
[13:13] <mklappstuhl> ReekenX: 12.04
[13:14] <mklappstuhl> ReekenX: Also "aptitude search php" only returns 7 results which is far to less I think(?)
[13:15] <ReekenX> mklappstuhl: Firstly be sure to run "apt-get update" if you having any packages problems. I think problem is that you haven't added source repository "security" where php-pear package lives: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/php-pear
[13:19] <mklappstuhl> ReekenX: looks like that solved my issue, hehe :)
[13:19] <mklappstuhl> ReekenX: (new servers... teh...)
[14:05] <Pupeno_W> Hello. In my own computer I have Host *, ForwardAgent yes. I do ssh pupeno@b1 (b1 is a local virtual machine I'm using to test some stuff). If I do ssh pupeno@b1 inside b1, shouldn't I log in straight away due to the ssh forward? or am I missing something?
[14:07] <KristianDK> Pupeno_W, if you are using SSH Keys, yes
[14:07] <KristianDK> Does anyone know how to temporarely get ActiveMQ running on ubuntu, till they release a fix for #993249 ?
[14:07] <KristianDK> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/activemq/+bug/993249
[14:08] <Pupeno_W> KristianDK: yeah, I'm using ssh keys...
[14:08] <Pupeno_W> So… what could I be doing wrong that ssh keys are not being forwarded?
[14:09] <samba35> how do i check wheter my gui support unity 3d or not ?
[14:09] <samba35> oops
[14:10] <KristianDK> Pupeno_W, maybe the config file is somehow not loaded? Otherwise, try setting this for the specific host. If you have other settings for this host, I'm not sure how the override works - try putting it together in one section, e.g. Host b1\n    ForwardAgent yes
[14:18] <andygraybeal_> hey guys, i'm trying to get a real serial port on my KVM server to be the serial port of a virtual machine (win xp pro) anyone have any luck with this?  i'm on ubuntu 10.04.
[14:19] <andygraybeal_> the serial port is gonna run a serial printer
[14:19] <andygraybeal_> brb, coffee refill
[14:20] <Pupeno_W> I tried setting up the hostname, same difference.
[14:36] <zul> Daviey: around?
[14:40] <stonk> Hi. About 2 months ago I read an article on a system that was installed on top of Ubuntu server that allowed quick installation of things like apache, php and a whole host of other projects. I don't suppose anyone here knows what that is? thanks
[14:44] <andygraybeal_> stonk, apt-get ?
[14:45] <stonk> :-)
[14:45] <andygraybeal_> stonk, explain a bit more.. to install apache, i use apt-get install apache2
[14:45] <andygraybeal_> i'm no expert though
[14:45] <henkjan> Mark is going after ipv6 support for canonical services http://instituut.net/~job/screenshots/44c1a08256e0dbf1.png
[14:47] <stonk> It was a project I'd read about where you connect via a local webserver and then there was literally hundreds of apps you could install
[14:49] <andygraybeal_> yea, i have no idea.. i don't understand what is wrong with apt-get install.
[14:49] <andygraybeal_> or why anyone would replace it.. but i live in my own bubble and welcome diversity
[14:56] <th0mz> what is the name of the "kickstart" under ubuntu please ?

[15:18] <andygraybeal_> i'm having a time with getting real serial port to work on my host inside my guest os.  the goal is to print via a serial printer.  i have done --serial=dev,PATH=/dev/ttyS0  with virt-install and it coughs and dies.. and never creates a .xml file.  any hand holding would be appreciated.
[15:19] <andygraybeal_> i can talk to the serial port and associated printer just fine on the host.
[15:19] <andygraybeal_> doing somethign like echo "hello word" > /dev/ttyS0
[15:33] <asby> Hi, I have an issue with ubuntu-server 12.04 (minimal install, fully updated) where I can only reboot a server using a power cycle. With a shutdown -r now (or -h and power on) the server just hangs just after init-bottom.
[15:33] <asby> What are the differences between booting with a shutdown -r now and a power cycle?
[15:34] <asby> Since the server hangs before starting the syslog daemon I can't find anything what will cause this problem.
[15:39] <asby> Is there any documentation what explains the complete boot sequence of ubuntu-server? So I can find where it goes wrong?
[15:55] <Ursinha> Server team meeting in 5 minutes @ #ubuntu-meeting
[15:56] <zul> oh...joy :)
[15:59] <Ursinha> :)
[16:21] <esuave> so what can i do if my servers' inode is at 100%.. df -i shows me 100%
[16:21] <esuave> and the OS wont let me create any other files.
[16:34] <IdleOne> esuave: delete some log files
[16:35] <asby> esuave, cleaning and rethink your filesystem layout
[16:37] <IdleOne> and maybe use logrotate
[16:38] <asby> you can either recreate your filesystem with a smaller bytes-per-inode, create multiple filesystems, or use another filesystem type
[16:40] <blkperl> so puppet 3.0 is still in release canidate mode, but is it going to make it into quantal?

[22:33] <Saer> I was doing a backup of my server via rsync/ssh when it locked up, after reboot I'm left with the error: Init: Failed to spawn friendly-recovery post-stop process: unable to execute: permission denied  (This occurs even in recovery mode) I've tried several things to troubleshoot and searched a bit with no luck, anyone have a suggestion on where to go from here?
[22:33] <escott> Saer, can you boot init=/bin/bash?
[22:34] <Saer> from the installation cd I can boot
[22:34] <escott> Saer, if you have physical access I would chroot in
[22:35] <Saer> ok I'll give that a shot
[22:38] <Saer> hrm it says "chroot can't execute '/bin/sh' permission denied
[22:39] <Saer> but it seems to have mounted the array on /target and I can see all of the files there
[22:45] <escott> Saer, what are the permissions on /bin/sh?
[22:45] <Saer> let me check
[22:46] <Saer> root/root
[22:49] <escott> Saer, but is it marked executable?
[22:50] <Saer> yes
[22:51] <Saer> infact I can type sh and it runs or I can type chroot and it runs, but if I do chroot /target it errors
[22:51] <escott> so why would chroot say permission denied when trying to execute it
[22:52] <escott> what is the exact line you are running when you try and execute sh
[22:52] <Saer> just /bin/sh
[22:52] <escott> you mean /target/bin/sh?
[22:53] <Saer> no just the /bin/sh I'm in the recovery shell (busybox)
[22:53] <escott> when you try to chroot to /target it will exec /target/bin/sh not busybox sh. so you need to be looking at /target/bin/sh (that which becomes /bin/sh after chroot)
[22:55] <Saer> permissions on /target/bin/sh are some numbers
[22:55] <Saer> read/write/execute all set on though
[22:56] <Saer> owner is 1002
[22:56] <escott> thats clearly wrong.
[22:56] <escott> Saer, maybe you did something that ran a root chown on the /
[22:57] <escott> Saer, ls -l /target/bin/sh should say lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 28 18:04 /bin/sh -> dash
[22:58] <Saer> yep that's wrong, it says  lrwxrwxrwx 1 1002 10513 root 4 Jul 3 xx:xx:xx /bin/sh -> dash
[22:59] <Saer> probably screwed up something with rsync, not sure, but what do you suggest for repairing the permissions
[23:00] <escott> you could maybe chown it back to root:root, but thats not going to correct for every executable. i would suggest reinstalling
[23:02] <Saer> well I did chown root:root /target/bin/sh and it's still showing the same permissions from before
[23:02] <Saer> no error message, looks like the chown completed without an issue
[23:03] <Saer> also looking at my other files, it's ONLY /bin and the vmlinuz file that have the permissions wrong
[23:05] <Saer> I dont mind reinstalling as you suggest, just wondering why chroot isnt working
[23:06] <Saer> chmod rather
[23:06] <escott> i dont know what to make of that. lrwxrwxrwx 1 ok up to here. 1002 >>user 1002 owns /bin/sh???<< 10513 >>unlikely you would even have a group with that number<< root >> this should be the timestamp now, WTF is this<< Jul 3 >>ok<< xx:xx:xx >>are you suppressing the hh:mm:ss??<< /bin/sh->dash ok
[23:07] <Saer> I will type it exactly, one sec
[23:07] <Saer> no copy and paste :p
[23:08] <escott> Saer, if its just you typoing a few things its not a big deal, im just wondering why there was something after the gid before the timestamp
[23:09] <Saer> oh it was just lost in manual copy/paste im sure, the formatting looks normal, permissions are as you say, followed by the userid, gid, timestamp and then sh->dash
[23:09] <Saer> ok also the user and group
[23:09] <Saer> those are user/groups from the other machine I was doing the rsync backup to, rather trying to setup it up
[23:09] <escott> ok.
[23:10] <Saer> no idea why they changed the user/group on this machine, but obiously I'm an rsync noob and will read more on it before messing my filesystem up more lol
[23:11] <escott> Saer, well (on my machine) root owns everything in /bin so chown root:root /bin/* should be ok-ish. id still be worried the only way rsync should touch the permissions is if it replaces the file in which case you have to ask where did this binary come from?
[23:11] <escott> Saer, you generally want the -a flag when doing rsyncs to preserve permissions
[23:12] <escott> -aAX might even be better
[23:13] <escott> anyways you did "chown root:root /target/bin" and it completed silently, but the permissions were unchanged?
[23:13] <Saer> yeah I dont think I used a I just used -ve
[23:14] <Saer> I did it and yes, the permissions didnt change :(
[23:16] <Saer> also tried chrown root:root /target/bin/*
[23:16] <escott> what does echo $? say immediately after the chown?
[23:16] <Saer> nothign at all
[23:17] <escott> really confused
[23:17] <Saer> me too 0.o
[23:17] <escott> how is /target mounted? read-write? can you touch /target/test
[23:18] <Saer> it was mounted by the ubuntuu install disk, so I'm not sure, how do I check?
[23:19] <escott> just type "mount"
[23:20] <Saer> rw, relatime, user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered
[23:24] <escott> what about touch /target/test.txt; and touch /target/bin/test.txt
[23:24] <Saer> both of those didnt return anything
[23:27] <escott> but do they create the files /target/test.txt and /target/bin/test.txt
[23:27] <Saer> yes the files are there
[23:28] <Saer> this is so weird -_-
[23:30] <escott> Saer, so things to check "touch /target/bin/sh; ls /target/bin/sh" and verify the modified time changes. "chown root:root /target/bin/*; ls /target/bin/sh" and see if it becomes root owned
[23:32] <Saer> ok so touch /target/bin/sh did not update the file time
[23:33] <lifeless> its probably a symlink :)
[23:33] <lifeless> what does 'stat /target/bin/sh' show ?
[23:33] <Saer> it's a link to /target/bin/dash owned by an unknown uid and gid
[23:34] <Saer> the last access does appear to have been updated from the touch command in stat
[23:35] <lifeless> if you chroot /target /bin/sh, then stat /bin/sh, does it show a uid and gid ?
[23:35] <Saer> when I try to chroot /target I get permission denied
[23:36] <Saer> can't execute /bin/sh
[23:37] <Saer> ok also /target/bin everything is owned by root:root now
[23:37] <Saer> except for the symlinks
[23:37] <Saer> they are all still owned by the unknown uid
[23:40] <lifeless> it would be "chroot /target /bin/sh" or perhaps "chroot /target /target/bin/sh"
[23:41] <Saer> yep it worked, but now all my commands like chroot/chmod/ls are access denied lol, rebooting to switch ownership of those and I think i'll have some progress
[23:41] <lifeless> as for the link itself - "The permissions of a symbolic link are irrelevant; the ownership is ignored when following the link, but is checked when removal or renaming of the link is requested and the link is in a directory with the sticky bit (S_ISVTX)
[23:41] <lifeless>        set.
[23:41] <lifeless> "
[23:41] <lifeless> good luck
[23:41] <Saer> yes I did a chown on dash and sh started working
[23:41] <Saer> was able to mount
[23:41] <Saer> thank you both for you assistance
[23:41] <Saer> *able to chroot even not mount
