[03:22] <Dragunov> i hope i am in the right place. i'm having trouble partitioning my disks for use with lvm when attempting to install the server.
[04:41] <azei> Hello
[04:41] <azei> each time
[04:42] <azei> i reboot my server i got the keyboard in english, everything is in french w/o the keyboard i got an french keyboard connected to the server
[04:42] <azei> i got that problem since i  pass to ubuntu precise
[04:48] <azei> ????
[04:49] <blkperl> azei: have you searched for an existing bug ticket in launchpad yet?
[04:50] <azei> hello anyone there ?
[04:54] <azei> hi blkperl
[04:55] <azei> is it possible to that orver command line ?
[05:01] <blkperl> azei: i think the ubuntu-bug command is what you want

[08:54] <DigitalFlux> Hi Guys
[08:55] <DigitalFlux> What's up with byobu on ubuntu server precise ?
[08:55] <DigitalFlux> I just can't scroll up like i used to do before ..
[08:55] <DigitalFlux> Ctrl+a Esc then up arrow doesn't work
[08:55] <DigitalFlux> Any solutions to this ?
[08:57] <DigitalFlux> it works fine with the screen backend
[08:57] <DigitalFlux> but the default tmux backend is just broken
[09:21] <jamespage> DigitalFlux, alt+ Pgup/Pgdown works for me
[09:21] <DigitalFlux> jamespage: yeah, i guess that works
[09:21] <DigitalFlux> jamespage: I have to Function+Alt+ up/down for the OS X though
[09:21] <DigitalFlux> jamespage: Thanks
[09:22] <jamespage> DigitalFlux, I think its configurable tho
[09:22] <jamespage> so you make it behave like screen
[09:23] <jamespage> I get prompted first time I did a Ctrl-a Esc as to which behaviour I wanted
[09:23] <DigitalFlux> jamespage: that's true but ctrl-a didn't work with both of the choices that i got
[09:30] <Cirbri> Howdy all. I have a question -- I was wondering if memory errors show up in dmesg? I've got ECC memory, but I'm just interested in know if any problems exist -- and whether they would show up in dmesg, rather than more details information that might be possible to get via ECC probing kernel modules or such.
[09:32] <ikonia> Cirbri: depends on the error
[10:30] <_ruben> bugger .. fresh install of 12.04 server, lvm on top of mdadm, /boot on plain mdadm, "cant mount /boot" at boot time .. sigh
[10:30] <_ruben> select fix manually, type mount /boot, ctrl-d, boot continues just fine
[10:31] <xnox> _ruben: yes, there is an SRU in progress for that for precise... I'm sorry for inconvenience
[10:31] <_ruben> xnox: oh, good to know
[10:32] <_ruben> any workaround for the time being?
[10:33] <xnox> _ruben: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/mdadm/+bug/942106
[10:33] <xnox> _ruben: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/mdadm/+bug/942106/comments/5
[10:33] <xnox> but that's half or the story, but should help most of the time.
[10:34] <_ruben> gonna try it
[10:36] <_ruben> do need to rebuild the initrd for that to take effect?
[10:45] <_ruben> xnox: didn't seem to have helped, did rebuild the initramfs
[10:45] <_ruben> doh
[10:46] <xnox> ?
[10:46] <_ruben> i rebuilt when /boot wasnt mounted
[10:46] <xnox> well done =)
[10:46] <redactd> hi there, anyone know what package whois is in? for some reason it is not there on my stock 12.04 install
[10:47] <_ruben> redactd: whois
[10:47] <_ruben> ;)
[10:48] <redactd> _ruben, lol
[10:48] <_ruben> xnox: still no go, double checking if my change got through to the initramfs
[10:48]  * redactd shakes head
[10:48] <Cirbri> ikonia: What sort of memory errors would show up in dmesg? Knowing this would anwser my question.
[10:49] <ikonia> Cirbri: I'd suggest certain things like application/process warnings on exit due to memory issues
[10:49] <xnox> _ruben: ubuntu-bug mdadm ....
[10:53] <_ruben> xnox: running...
[11:08] <alex88> hi guys, i had a problem with php session garbage collection, i've seen the cron script but it never gets run, running manually works fine
[11:08] <_ruben> xnox: fyi: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/1020914
[11:16] <_ruben> xnox: adding "nobootwait" to the /boot entry in fstab seems to work around it btw .. err no, it just doesn't mount it at all
[12:00] <enigmuriatic> hi everyone. what's the preferred method of setting up a mail server?
[12:00] <enigmuriatic> i followed the help section's tutorial but it was mostly a cookbook (didn't give any options or explanations), and it ended up not working
[12:16] <jpds> enigmuriatic: Postfix?
[13:57] <jamespage> Daviey, how would you feel about reviewing the two oldest source packages in the quantal NEW queue
[15:10] <efpe> hi
[15:10] <efpe> i have a problem of course...
[15:11] <efpe> :/
[15:12] <efpe> so i have a karmic system which was upgraded to hardy
[15:12] <efpe> the upgrade process failed and the old sys ops left the system in an unstable state
[15:12] <efpe> half of the packages from karmic and the other half of hardy
[15:13] <Patrickdk> how did you *upgrade* from karmic to hardy?
[15:13] <efpe> we don't know why but the system stopped and rebooted
[15:13] <efpe> Patrickdk: great question, we dont know that, the old system administrator team did it
[15:14] <Patrickdk> hardy -> jaunty -> intrepid -> karmic -> lucid
[15:14] <Patrickdk> you have to upgrade to each of those step by step
[15:14] <Patrickdk> if you don't, it destroys your system
[15:14] <efpe> okay
[15:14] <Patrickdk> you could upgrade from hardy -> lucid direct though
[15:14] <efpe> maybe they had to use a package from karmic and changed the sources.list file
[15:15] <efpe> i don't know
[15:15] <Patrickdk> but as it was in an inbetween, well
[15:15] <Patrickdk> that should never be done
[15:15] <Patrickdk> just recompile the package for hardy
[15:15] <efpe> Patrickdk: i know :)
[15:15] <Patrickdk> well, it soulds pretty well screwed right now :(
[15:15] <efpe> lsb_release says it's hardby
[15:15] <Patrickdk> what does the screen say at boot?
[15:15] <efpe> sources.list says karmic :)
[15:16] <Patrickdk> and you did disable quiet/silent/... in grub
[15:16] <efpe> i did of course :)
[15:16] <efpe> i think the fuckup is with the udev/mountall
[15:17] <efpe> some of the init hooks run successfully
[15:17] <efpe> then the mountall says
[15:17] <efpe> / wainting for /dev/md0 (softraid, eh)
[15:17] <efpe> /tmp waiting for (null)
[15:17] <efpe> and i get a console, not initramfs, my real system, with a readonly rootfs
[15:17] <Patrickdk> hhmm, sounds like a probably simple case then
[15:18] <Patrickdk> just the raid can't locate itself
[15:18] <Patrickdk> google that
[15:18] <efpe> just wait :)
[15:18] <Patrickdk> fixing mdraid
[15:18] <efpe> if i remount the rootfs in rw mode and run the mountall command it returns with 0
[15:18] <efpe> everything seems fine, except the system not booting
[15:19] <efpe> mdstat says everything is great
[15:19] <efpe> udev is located the swraid disks and partitions
[15:20] <efpe> i have some strace outputs and a screenshot
[15:20] <efpe> maybe you can take a look
[15:20] <efpe> http://www.efpe.hu/ubi/
[15:20] <efpe> thanks ;)
[15:21] <efpe> the readonly.txt contains a strace output with readonly rootfs
[15:28] <Patrickdk> my guess is you managed to get some upstart code in there
[15:29] <stgraber> zul: could you follow up on bug 1006898?
[15:29] <zul> stgraber: yep
[15:38] <efpe> Patrickdk: and what's the problem with that?
[15:39] <efpe> upstart is great, isn't it? :P
[15:41] <efpe> and yes, mountall wants to communicate with upstart
[15:53] <halvors> Hi! Anyone know if it's possible to use my Ubuntu box as a DOCSIS 3 cable modem/client? Of course i'll need the right hardware, but is it possible on the software basis?
[15:57] <efpe> Patrickdk: i made screenshots about the booting process (i dont have access to serial console/sol/etc)
[15:57] <efpe> :(
[16:26] <Patrickdk> halvors, ubuntu has nothing to do with docsis3 cable modem
[19:39] <catphish> is anyone aware of a bug in 10.04 kernels that causes a crash after 200 days of uptime?
[19:40] <catphish> i've observed this at least 10 times in different servers, installed at different times, at various patch levels of ubuntu 10.04, all have crashed between 195 and 210 days of uptime
[19:40] <catphish> rather than a panic, they've simply slowed to a halt, responding to ping, but nothing requiring significant cpu power
[19:48] <chaos_zero> hello, has anyone tried to configure ddclient with namecheap?
[20:15] <qman__> catphish, I have to counter that analysis
[20:16] <qman__> I've got half a dozen lucid servers that have all run for well over a year of uptime without issue
[20:16] <qman__> couldn't tell you specifically which kernel versions, but several of them
[20:18] <catphish> qman__: i'm not saying it happens to all servers, in fact i have some that are unaffected
[20:18] <catphish> but at least 50% of mine have been affected
[20:18] <catphish> and on several occasions
[20:18] <catphish> usually in groups (ie servers powered on at the same time crash within 10 minutes of each other)
[20:18] <catphish> very strange
[20:19] <catphish> it could well be something unusual i run in userland that triggers it
[20:19] <qman__> that is strange, but it doesn't seem like a kernel issue, or at least not a generic kernel issue
[20:19] <qman__> same hardware?
[20:20] <qman__> might be a specific set of circumstances
[20:20] <qman__> I am dealing with an unrelated issue myself, though
[20:21] <qman__> got a new UPS, so I shut my servers down to install it
[20:21] <qman__> file server won't come back up
[20:21] <qman__> gets past where it does the fsck, but not to where it starts showing stuff on the screen or writing logs
[20:21] <qman__> filesystems and disks are okay, verified with systemrescuecd
[20:22] <catphish> i've never had a server fail to finish booting like that
[20:23] <qman__> tried booting with nomodeset and noplymouth
[20:23] <qman__> same deal
[20:23] <catphish> though possibly something trying to talk to the network to finish and can't?
[20:23] <qman__> well, the interface is up, it pings
[20:23] <qman__> but that's it
[20:23] <catphish> my servers are all Dell, R210 R310 R410
[20:24] <catphish> they all run ruby, ntpd, puppet
[20:24] <catphish> and 10.04
[20:24] <qman__> mine are whatever I managed to get
[20:24] <qman__> this one's on a gigabyte AM3 system, intel NIC, various SATA controllers
[20:25] <qman__> the only mainstream server brand server I have is an old proliant, and I don't even use it because it's too loud
[20:26] <qman__> but I'm confident this isn't a hardware issue, systemrescuecd works fine, my filesystems all check out, and everything works live
[20:51] <thys> I keep losing my connection though SSH on my ubuntu server. It works fine while I use it then it freezes and I have to eject it and log in again. How do I find the keep-alive settings?
[20:58] <sw> thys: '$ nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config' and add 'KeepAlive yes' and 'ClientAliveInterval 60'
[22:13] <arooni-mobile> somehow i think my name servers are messed up.  wget: unable to resolve host address `rubyenterpriseedition.googlecode.com' ... and "host cnn.com" => ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached ... how would i fix this ?  ubuntu 10.04 lts
[22:18] <efpe> arooni-mobile: /erc/resolv.conf
[22:18] <efpe> use google's
[22:18] <arooni-mobile> efpe, that file is auto generated it says
[22:19] <efpe> yep, from /etc/resolvconf/
[22:19] <efpe> you can modify the settings there
[22:36] <jamespage> zul: around still?
[22:37] <zul> jamespage:  you must have esp just stopped in for a sec
[22:37] <jamespage> zul, lol
[22:37] <zul> jamespage: whats up?
[22:37] <jamespage> anyway - I'm just hacking on some stuff that uses openvswitch
[22:38] <zul> ok
[22:38] <jamespage> its looks a bit borked ATM - just raising a bug
[22:38] <zul> borked as in how
[22:39] <jamespage> zul: bug 1021078
[22:39] <jamespage> like the switch bit don't start...
[22:40] <zul> okies ill have a look tonight
[22:40] <jamespage> zul, I *think* its due to a name change in the kernel module
[22:40] <jamespage> as I had the same problem with mininet (the package that uses openvswitch)
[22:40] <jamespage> i hacked it locally to work
[22:40] <jamespage> zul: thanks v much
[23:34] <axisys> can I get rid of avahi-daemon? I am pretty sure I dont need it on our company servers.. please advise
[23:39] <Patrickdk> sure
[23:39] <Patrickdk> it never installs for me
[23:40] <Patrickdk> probably cause I always do, minimal install
[23:40] <Patrickdk> press f4 at install, and it gives you that option
