[00:05] <MagicFab_> Hi - is it possible to access the server filesystem from an LTSP client? I can't seem to find any docs about this.
[02:00] <zul> adam_g: pong
[03:49] <JonEdney> I'm having an issue with a server I just installed on a VPS - had all the services working without problem, and came back a few hours later to work on it, and I cant get services to start up.  Had to connect via serial web console.
[03:49] <Gr3mlin> hay all, would i be shoot if i said i was using ubuntu server for a mincraft server?
[03:50] <JonEdney> I checked all the logs I know of, nothing indicates a problem, yet I cant get anything to start.
[03:56] <mardraum> JonEdney: can you even ping it?
[03:56] <mardraum> Gr3mlin: no, it works fine
[03:56] <JonEdney> mardraum, nope
[03:56] <mardraum> then I suspect you have a networking issue?
[03:56] <JonEdney> Only serial console access, even after reboot
[03:56] <mardraum> check your network config and talk to your VPS provider I guess
[03:57] <JonEdney> That was my next step, I'm browsing over logs again
[03:57] <JonEdney> Thanks mardraum
[03:58] <Gr3mlin> fine and great! :) only it wont allow me to use both thread of the CPU for the MC server. any pointers?
[03:59] <JonEdney> wth, you're right.  There is no eth0 refernce in my interface config file
[04:01] <mardraum> Gr3mlin: ubuntu isn't stopping you, that sounds like a minecraft question, this probably isn't the best forum.
[04:05] <Gr3mlin_> sorry bout that guys. router issues now.. :S
[04:05] <Gr3mlin_> so  think i said, i have an issue with mincraft server not using all the CPU cores. any one know a trick?
[04:06] <JonEdney> Hmm, would failed networking config, cause apache, mysql, ssh, dovecot, etc to just not start?
[04:07] <JonEdney> Tried starting apache, and i got disconnecte
[04:10] <mardraum> JonEdney: most would start but depends how you have them configured
[04:10] <mardraum> eg if you specifically told apache to bind to an IP that wasn't there it would be unhappy
[04:11] <JonEdney> That would make sense.  This is something I've been working on as part of a learning process, I could have mistyped something.
[04:11] <mardraum> how do you know they are not starting?
[04:12] <mardraum> try eg service ssh status
[04:12] <JonEdney> Well, I'm logged into the serial console
[04:12] <JonEdney> They all say not running, I did find some info when I tried to toggle networking though.
[04:13] <JonEdney> postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/master.cf: unused parameter: smtpd_bind_address=127.0.0.1
[04:13] <JonEdney> Never seen that before, I must investigate.
[04:13] <mardraum> I think your /etc/network/interfaces is boned
[04:13] <mardraum> if you have lost localhost...
[04:13] <JonEdney> I did see something weird in there, referencing something I've yet to hear of..
[04:14] <JonEdney> "iface venet0 inet manual"
[04:14] <JonEdney> http://pastebin.com/x5gyJ7iB
[04:15] <JonEdney> Thats my interfaces
[04:15] <JonEdney> Which is NOT what I set up, I wonder if another services changed it.
[04:15] <mardraum> read the top of the file?
[04:15] <mardraum> venet0 - openvz
[04:16] <mardraum> btw I can ping both those public IPs
[04:16] <JonEdney> Hmm.
[04:17] <JonEdney> I've had this set up working before, but couldn't get the mail server working, so I reinstalled and tried again, got the mail working, and this happens, strange.
[04:17] <JonEdney> I'll tinker some more.  Thanks for your input mardraum
[04:18] <mardraum> that postfix warning won't stop postfix from running
[04:18] <JonEdney> Hmm, and everything is coming back up, I wonder if there was a problem at my host..
[04:23] <JonEdney> Ill have to keep investigating, now it cant be pinged.
[04:33] <JonEdney> Thanks again for the input mardraum; take care.
[04:48] <sarthor> Hi, I have a domain name, and I do not have static IP, but I have dyndns paid account, Can I host a website on my local machine? If yes, So what will be my DNS 1 and 2 to put in my registrar website against my domain. I am new in this world, my main goal is to learn and understand this stuff. the website is just for learning purpose. using ubuntu server 12.04 on my machine, Guide me please.
[04:58] <mardraum> sarthor: if you wish to use dyndns, you will need to ask them (or maybe check their faq?) nothing to do with ubuntu
[06:24] <trimeta> Something I've never entirely understood: if the changelog for linux-meta says that the only effect of the new kernel version is "Bump ABI", is there any reason whatsoever to reboot into the new kernel?
[06:28] <SpamapS> adam_g: FYI, the reason bug 1021530 fell of the SRU team radar is because 1.4.0-1ubuntu1.2's changes file was generated incorrectly, it didn't list both updates, so bug 1021530 was not being tracked properly.
[06:28] <SpamapS> fell off rather
[06:43] <ScottK> trimeta: It's not the linux-meta changelog that should interest you, but the changelog of the specific kernel you're installing.
[06:45] <trimeta> ScottK: "aptitude changelog linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic" tells me there is no changelog.
[06:45] <ScottK> Hmmm.  Not sure for kernels.
[06:45] <ScottK> I mostly read the security notices and worry about kernel reboots when I see something scary from there.
[06:48] <trimeta> Looks like nothing for 3.2.0.29, based on USN...oh well, I'll just stick with 3.2.0.27 until something happens.
[06:51] <ScottK> There's a mailing list for the USNs.
[07:34] <koolhead17> hi all
[07:34] <Anomie211> http://pastebin.com/DuF0vn2T  -- Can anyone help with this error upon upgrading 9.04 -> 10.10
[07:38] <trimeta> Anomie211: Do you have some weird disk setup? It looks like xvda may have had problems mounting the root filesystem read-write, which led to a problem with udevd...although, I've never tried upgrading across different versions, so I have no idea what's normal here.
[07:40] <Anomie211> trimeta: I'm not sure? I'm with Linode and I cloned my original Linode so that I could upgrade it 9.04 -> 10.10 -> 12.04 and switch over  the IP (with 0 downtime). The clone straight away mounted in read-write. I fixed this buy eventually figuring out that 'Automount devtmpfs' had been set to 'yes' in my new Linode config (it wasn't in the original). Turned that off and it fixed the problem; updated to 10.10 and its giv
[07:40] <Anomie211> *by
[07:41] <trimeta> I don't even know what Linode is; I don't think I can provide much useful advice.
[07:42] <Anomie211> Just a VPS provider
[07:43] <Anomie211> I'll try #linode. Maybe it is problem on their end somehow
[07:48] <Anomie211> trimeta: fixed by turning 'Automount devtmpfs' back on. it was an issue with 9, which apparently was fixed in 10+
[07:48] <trimeta> Ah.
[07:57] <AdvoWork> anyone else seen this error with 12.04? error: error accessing /var/log/squid: No such file or directory from cron.daily?
[08:05] <_ruben> sounds like a flawed logrotate thingie
[08:22] <Anomie21> Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
[08:22] <Anomie21> Upgrade complete
[08:22] <Anomie21> The upgrade has completed but there were errors during the upgrade process.
[08:22] <Anomie21> Should I be worried?
[08:34] <Lachezar> Hello. I am having trouble increasing the Open Files limit for a user. Please advise!
[08:36] <Lachezar> I am using 'sudo -u <user> <command>', and then I look at the /proc/?????/limits.
[08:37] <Lachezar> When I do 'sudo -u <user> -i' I can see the limit has increased.
[08:37] <Lachezar> But when I do 'sudo -u <user> <command>' from an /etc/init.d script the limits stay default.
[09:00] <_ruben> Lachezar: try with 'sudo -Hu ...'?
[09:06] <Lachezar> _ruben: why would I need to change the HOME?
[09:09] <_ruben> Lachezar: oh, right, it only sets $HOME. for me that pretty much works around all sudo related issues i've run into (like cvs and gpg), but they indeed store their settings in $HOME. so in your case, dunno
[09:10] <_ruben> might need to use su in addition to sudo
[09:10] <_ruben> 'su -' in particular
[09:11] <Lachezar> ?!?
[09:11] <_ruben> '
[09:11] <Lachezar> sudo su - glassfish $GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin restart-domain?
[09:12] <Lachezar> Is this what you're saying?
[09:12] <_ruben> 'su -' does an actual login .. nah, but close, lemme see if i can figure the exact syntax
[09:13] <Lachezar> _ruben: I need this in an /etc/init.d/glassfish
[09:14] <_ruben> Lachezar: in that case i'd just try "su - glassfish -c $GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin restart-domain"
[09:16] <Lachezar> _ruben: Do I need quoting or stuff? Because the restart-domain does not get sent...
[09:18] <Lachezar> _ruben: «su - glassfish -c ".../asadmin restart-domain"» does not fix the limits.
[09:18]  * Lachezar is rebooting...
[09:21]  * Lachezar can't believe his eyes: restarting helped...
[10:12] <Anomie21> Getting this error from my server
[10:12] <Anomie21> PHP Deprecated:  Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/mcrypt.ini on line 1 in Unknown on line 0
[10:12] <Anomie21> Cannot load the ionCube PHP Loader - it was built with configuration 2.2.0, whereas running engine is API220090626,NTS
[10:13] <Anomie21> I'm assuming its because I kept my existing mcrypt.ini when I updated - anyone know where I can find the current one?
[10:16] <bhosmer> Anomie21: You can replace the # with // I think and that warning will go away.
[10:17] <bhosmer> I'm sorry replace the # with ;
[10:28] <Anomie21> bhosmer: Just got rid of that line, was expecting it to be a big file but there was only 2 lines of code in it
[10:28] <Anomie21> and the one that was causing the issue was a comment
[10:29] <bhosmer> Yeah, when you upgraded php your old ini file still had the old comment style from php 4. It really wouldn't have hurt anything if it was there, that warning was just telling you about the new comment style.
[11:06] <DoomGuy> I have a weired problem.. I have configured a DNS  server for caching and doing Name Resolutions for some servers
[11:07] <DoomGuy> the problem is that I can access that servers by name from windows station without problem but can't do the same from linux stations
[11:07] <DoomGuy> like mine..
[11:07] <DoomGuy> can someone helps me ?
[11:12] <Anomie21> Getting this error too now : Any ideas? Cannot load the ionCube PHP Loader - it was built with configuration 2.2.0, whereas running engine is API220090626,NTS
[11:18] <_ruben> Anomie21: you already had that error, you'll likely need to rebuild ioncube or so
[11:18] <chmac> How do I monitor directory usage over time? My root partition is filling up, and I'd like to know where the extra space is being used.
[11:18] <chmac> To be more explicit, I'm looking for something automated, short of writing a bash script to store du output via cron.
[12:00] <imminentCucumber> good morning.  the colors in ls are really starting to drive me nuts.  I have tried to implement a bash alias for ls, but it doesn't seem to work.  I've created bash aliases before, so I'm not sure what's wrong.  Here's a screenshot:  http://imgbox.com/acrEWDQg  TIA...
[12:10] <zul> morning
[12:11] <koolhead11> hallyn: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/997978
[12:11] <kodapa> hello, I'm investigating the same issue as koolhead11 just posted
[12:11] <koolhead11> is it closed?
[12:12] <kodapa> No
[12:12] <kodapa> Confirmed
[12:12]  * koolhead11 is off for weekend
[12:12] <kodapa> We're running OpenStack Essex under Ubuntu 12.04 and having problems with VM networking dies after high net io. Using virtio network bridge
[12:13] <kodapa> Seems to only affect 11.10 guests and up
[12:13] <kodapa> ifdown and ifup inside the VM makes networking work again temporarily
[12:15] <kodapa> The bug is reported since 2012-05-11 and it's pretty critical
[12:20] <kodapa> It seems like a upstream fix in the kernel exists: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42829
[12:26] <jacobw> hallo, is there a printable reference for byobu keys?
[12:45] <pmatulis> did inetd always need to be installed or was it removed from the default install at one point?
[12:56] <hallyn> kodapa: (koolhead11 has left the building) I've so far not reproduced that one (bug 997978).  I guess I'll try with nc from a different host and to two separate vms...  but i have a feeling there's another piece i'm missing
[12:57] <hallyn> the kernel patch mentioned in that bug is already in precise, and not having vhost_net has not helped me reproduce
[13:06] <hallyn> hm, now admittedly i had a 'while [ 1 ]; do echo -n 1; sleep 5; done' loop going to show me if net was still up.  i suppose that could have kept the network up.  i'm trying now with that as well as nc from another host to two separate vms
[13:31] <kodapa> hallyn: I'm trying to reproduce the bug in our lab too
[13:31] <kodapa> hallyn: trying with nc, ping and iperf atm
[13:31] <kodapa> hallyn: seems like we need to spawn lots of connections, not just traffic
[13:31] <kodapa> hallyn: another theory is bonding, our production environment uses bonding, our lab does not
[13:35] <kodapa> hallyn: when did the patch get into precise?
[13:39] <hallyn> kodapa: not sure offhand
[13:39] <hallyn> yeah i'm not using bonding, i don't remember if everyone in that report was
[13:40] <hallyn> lemme add that to the mix here
[14:40] <arrrghhh> hey all.  i have a VM of ubuntu server.  i want to SHRINK the disk.  is that possible, assuming the space OK?
[14:40] <arrrghhh> or if i shrink the disk, will it freak out when i power it back up?
[14:51] <escott> arrrghhh, you need to boot the vm with an iso image shrink and shrink the filesystem inside the vm image first
[14:51] <arrrghhh> escott, sorry i didn't follow that
[14:52] <escott> arrrghhh, the system installed in the vm has a filesystem tailored to the size of the virtual disk originally presented to that os. you have to shrink that filesystem first
[14:52] <arrrghhh> so boot a livecd, shrink the guest file system, then shrink it in esxi?
[14:52] <escott> arrrghhh, yes
[14:52] <arrrghhh> yea, that makes sense.
[14:52] <arrrghhh> cool
[15:16] <hallyn> stgraber: looking at http://www.stgraber.org/2012/01/04/networking-in-ubuntu-12-04-lts/ - claims br0 shouldn't come up unti lbond0 is ready, but my precise box comes up with br0 not up, and when i dhclient br0 it immediately comes up
[16:42] <jparnell> is this thing active?
[16:45] <arrrghhh> i was going to say define alive
[16:45] <arrrghhh> but i guess not.
[16:54] <fire_> it's dead :D
[17:10] <zul> jdstrand: cinder should be ok now
[17:19] <jdstrand> zul: ok
[17:19] <jdstrand> I'll take another look
[17:19] <zul> jdstrand: can you do me a favor, can you do a review of cliff-tablib and tablib please? they are needed for python-quantumclient
[17:26] <jdstrand> zul: are there MIRs for them? I don't see them on the list
[17:27] <zul> jdstrand: not yet they are stuck in binary-new
[17:33] <jdstrand> zul: oh! sure
[17:33] <zul> jdstrand: thanks
[17:48] <Psi-Jack> Blah, now when I just try to activate them, soon as they do their interval, they re-mark it inactive.
[18:00] <Psi-Jack> Yeah, there is NOTHING in the agent log at all about it the #3 or #4 log item processors besides the fact, it IS actually watching them, initially, then it just isn't anymore.
[18:27] <zastern> If I create an upstart script for a daemon I've built, and I want it to run at boot, is it enough to just create a symlink for it in /etc/init/?
[18:56] <arrrghhh> zastern, why not use the built-in update script?
[18:56] <zastern> arrrghhh: I don't know about that - can you elaborate?
[18:56] <arrrghhh> update-rc.d
[18:56] <zastern> arrrghhh: what does that do exactly
[18:56] <arrrghhh> sorry, i was looking it up.  forgot the command myself
[18:56] <zastern> i dont want to run something that just makes any installed daemons run at aboot
[18:56] <arrrghhh> it automatically populates rc.X depending on when you want it to start.
[18:56] <arrrghhh> no no
[18:56] <arrrghhh> you tell it what to update
[18:57] <arrrghhh> check the manpage ;)
[18:57] <zastern> arrrghhh: I don't want to create things in runlevels . . . isnt that init?
[18:57] <zastern> im trying to do things in an upstarty-way
[18:59] <arrrghhh> that is how you do it in an upstarty-way
[19:00] <arrrghhh> it's the "official" way to add daemons to startup
[19:00] <arrrghhh> you can also remove daemons from startup using the same tool
[19:25] <arrrghhh> zastern, does that make sense?
[19:26] <arrrghhh> sorry i didn't explain real well, doing 5 things at once.
[19:26] <arrrghhh> well i'll probably be on a bit later.  headed home now.
[19:43] <pdtpatrick> interesting - i think postgresql's packaging needs some work. sysctl does not read the file it places in /etc/sysctl.d/30-postgres*
[21:57] <kodapa> hallyn: any progress?
[22:07] <hallyn> kodapa: i still can't reproduce
[22:07] <hallyn> kodapa: given that you say you're using bonding and can only reproduce it in the production lab,
[22:07] <hallyn> kodapa: can you post some info on your bond setup and the switches you're using?
[22:08] <hallyn> most of the odd network issues i've seen have been due to bad switches, badly configured switches, or use of bond modes which don't work well with the network hardware
[22:10] <kodapa> hallyn: we don't have this issue with any other servers, using the same bonding setup and switches
[22:10] <kodapa> only with openstack essex under 12.04
[22:11] <hallyn> kodapa: <frown>  so maybe i need to install essex
[22:11] <hallyn> kodapa: that same setup in your dev lab has not reproduced it yet though right?
[22:11] <hallyn> i'm really thinking bonding is to blame, only bc that seems to usuallyb e more fragile
[22:16] <kodapa> hallyn: no, but I've not tried generating many connections yet
[22:17] <hallyn> i tried pinging a set of about 20 hosts in parallel, but you're probably talking something more
[22:17] <kodapa> yeah
[22:40] <Vampy> hey guys.. im forgetting the package that allows pasting to pastebin from cli, can soeone remind me what it is
[22:41] <patdk-wk> pastebinit
[22:41] <Vampy> apt-get install pastbinit?
[22:41] <patdk-wk> no
[22:41] <Vampy> is it default install in ubuntuserver
[22:43] <Vampy> basically i'm gettin a few error during an email server setup, and would rather pastebin then try and type it out..
[22:45] <greppy> Vampy: apt-get install pastebinit
[22:45] <Vampy> greppy, thanks
[22:46] <arrrghhh> lol
[22:49] <Vampy> now to use that i would run the command ie apt-get install pastebinit | pastebinit correct?
[22:50] <greppy> something like that, double check the man page :)
[22:50] <Vampy> kk will do
[22:58] <hallyn> stgraber: I'm thinking we should spit out a warning if lxc gets called with a tight umask
[23:01] <Vampy> ok so first proble here is im unable to telnet into the localhost via port 25 heres the PB url http://paste.ubuntu.com/1140160
[23:05] <patdk-wk> vampy, we know it doesn't work, that is what you keep saying
[23:05] <patdk-wk> the question is, how did you break it? :)
[23:05] <patdk-wk> or what is your config look like
[23:05] <Vampy> what config file would you like.. i'll pastte it
[23:06] <patdk-wk> I dunno
[23:06] <patdk-wk> what mta are you using?
[23:06] <Vampy> postfix
[23:06] <patdk-wk> it's your system, not mine :)
[23:06] <patdk-wk> postconf -n | pastebinit
[23:07] <arrrghhh> hah
[23:07] <Vampy> paste.ubuntu.com/1140168
[23:07] <Vampy> im also using Flurdy's mail server howto
[23:08] <patdk-wk> no wonder
[23:08] <patdk-wk> you don't know how to use smtpd_*_restrictions
[23:09] <Vampy> patdk-wk, this is the howto i'm foloowig http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/#test-common
[23:10] <patdk-wk> and you did the whole thing without testing it as you went?
[23:11] <patdk-wk> does postfix even start?
[23:11] <patdk-wk> anything in mail.log?
[23:11] <Vampy> thought i had tested, but i've been working on it over bout 3 days
[23:11] <Vampy> lemme paste mail.log
[23:12] <Vampy> that's in etc or var/log
[23:12] <Vampy> mvmnd found it
[23:13] <Vampy> paste.ubuntu.com/1140177
[23:14] <patdk-wk> typo's everywhere it looks like
[23:14] <patdk-wk> according to mail.log
[23:14] <patdk-wk> plus your database doesn't match your postfix config
[23:14] <patdk-wk> can't locate your certificate
[23:15] <patdk-wk> note, read mail.log, fix errors, mail work :)
[23:15] <patdk-wk> generally
[23:15] <Vampy> kk i see /etc/postfix/msyql as an area to look in.. i should invest that spot first?
[23:15] <patdk-wk> but you need to fix those three, then after that, I'm sure there will be other errors, as it can make more progress
[23:15] <Vampy> kk headin to that file to see the error
[23:15] <patdk-wk> I dunno, make it match however your database is setup
[23:16] <patdk-wk> or make your database match how it's set
[23:18] <Vampy> ok when i log in to mysql thru that db, i have no issues loggin in or editing, why is it not allowing postfix?
[23:19] <patdk-wk> I didn't say it did
[23:19] <patdk-wk> I said they don't match, fix your schema
[23:19] <patdk-wk> read the error
[23:19] <patdk-wk> it's very self explanatory
[23:19] <patdk-wk> column email doesn't exist
[23:20] <patdk-wk> it doesn't say anything about not being able to login
[23:24] <Vampy> patdk-wk, the refering column is from "where_field= " correct?
[23:24] <patdk-wk> dunno, likely
[23:24] <patdk-wk> there is too many different ways you could make that file
[23:25] <Vampy> and that was exactly the area i needed to fix.
[23:25] <Vampy> and unused parameter isnt a bad error correct?
[23:26] <patdk-wk> it's generally not good
[23:28] <Vampy> ok 2 pastes for ya paste.ubuntu.com/1140194 and 1140195
[23:28] <Vampy> those are master.cf and main.cf
[23:29] <patdk-wk> like 138 is screwed
[23:29] <patdk-wk> needs to be indented
[23:29] <patdk-wk> and should uncomment lines 16-21
[23:30] <Vampy> which file
[23:30] <patdk-wk> master.cf
[23:30] <Vampy> line 138
[23:31] <Vampy> needs to line up with  L139?
[23:31] <patdk-wk> well, with the others around it
[23:31] <Vampy> ok
[23:32] <Vampy> 16-21 needs uncommenting?
[23:32] <patdk-wk> if you want email to work, when your not local to the server
[23:32] <Vampy> ok done.. any other errors in master.cf?
[23:32] <patdk-wk> not that I notice
[23:33] <Vampy> ok main.cf?
[23:33] <patdk-wk> really should use a proper certificate
[23:34] <patdk-wk> you really want to relay via gmail?
[23:34] <Vampy> is certificated.crt a default crt?
[23:34] <patdk-wk> no
[23:34] <Vampy> ok, please explain
[23:35] <patdk-wk> that could take me a few days
[23:35] <patdk-wk> do you not know anything about servers? and you want to run an email server?
[23:35] <Vampy> i'm learning
[23:35] <patdk-wk> email is the hardest thing to do, and it needs lots of maintance
[23:36] <Vampy> which is why i picked it first
[23:36] <patdk-wk> ya, wrong way
[23:36] <patdk-wk> see, your doing email
[23:36] <patdk-wk> but in order for that email setup you used to work
[23:36] <patdk-wk> it depends on WEB, DATABASE, DNS, ...
[23:37] <patdk-wk> all things you are suppost to understand well before doing
[23:38] <Vampy> ok, this is one i've choosen as i do not have the money to buy hosting, or a server, to run my business
[23:39] <Vampy> is there a better channel for new learning to server ?
[23:47] <arrrghhh> Vampy, it honestly might be a good idea to pay for hosting
[23:47] <arrrghhh> it would be much cheaper in the long run when you consider all the other setup things required
