[01:41] <Guest__> hi
[01:56] <joosen> hi
[01:56] <joosen> everybody
[02:10] <joosen> someone use the ubuntu server, can tell me that what's more stable between centos, freebsd and ubuntu.
[02:10] <joosen> ?
[02:18] <joosen> someone help me.
[02:47] <TheLordOfTime> !patience | joosen
[02:50] <joosen> how can I download the ubuntu server guide pdf file into my notebook, I would like to take it to read anywhere I go?
[03:06] <SpamapS> mdeslaur: no not that I recall (re test failure in main.trigger-compat)
[03:18] <owh> joosen: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/serverguide.pdf
[03:18] <owh> joosen: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/serverguide.pdf
[03:20] <owh> joosen: apt-get install ubuntu-serverguide
[03:22] <owh> joosen: wget -r https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/
[03:22] <owh> joosen: Take your pick...
[03:27] <joosen> thank you so much.
[03:28] <owh> NP
[03:28] <joosen> How can I implement the domain controller server with ubuntu?
[03:38] <owh> The documentation on the EC2FAQ tells me to ask questions here, rather than in ubuntu-virt. I wanted to know if JEOS was still a going concern for installation on AWS. I feel drowned in the options available via the Ubuntu cloud selector. All I want is a minimal Ubuntu install to boot in a micro instance of AWS where I can install nginx and ssh to provide domain redirection services. Anyone got any pointers through the many and varied contradictory documen
[03:38] <owh> s/domain/url/
[03:39] <utlemming> owh: when you say you feel drowned, can you clarify?
[03:39] <utlemming> owh: if you are wanting to run a t1.micro, you're only option is the EBS image.
[03:40] <utlemming> owh: also, the cloud images that we provide are basic installations with only the basic server bits and ssh installed.
[05:35] <owh> utlemming: Sorry, ran away for lunch. Drowned, as in, so much choice, so little time. I want an absolute minimal install, think JEOS, that I can install nginx onto.
[05:37] <owh> utlemming: So, for my minimal work-load, I'm thinking EBS, i386, precise in Singapore?
[05:38] <utlemming> owh: see http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/current
[05:38] <utlemming> owh: those images are minimial insalls with SSH installed -- just enough to get a bare OS up to do stuff with
[05:38] <sarnold> utlemming: 404
[05:39] <owh> yeah, 404
[05:39] <utlemming> owh, sarnold: sorry, http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/release/
[05:39] <sarnold> owh: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/release/
[05:40] <owh> sarnold: I'm looking at exactly that :)
[05:40] <sarnold> why are the ami numbers different for what look to be identical configurations except for the datacenter?
[05:41] <utlemming> sarnold: that is the way that Amazon works. The AMI is unique per region.
[05:41] <sarnold> seems needlessly complicated :)
[05:41] <utlemming> sarnold: for Azure, the "ami" is the same regardless of region.
[05:42] <sarnold> utlemming: azure provides an equivalent to amis? neat :)
[05:43] <utlemming> sarnold: well, I would wait to use Azure for production until GA, but yeah, we are providing Azure Ubuntu Cloud Images
[05:43] <owh> Here: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/azure/
[05:43] <owh> :)
[05:44] <sarnold> very cool :D
[05:44] <utlemming> owh: that is the raw VHD file for people to play with. We have the images listed on the portal of Azure.
[05:44] <utlemming> owh: we will be publishing a new one shortly, fwiw
[05:45] <owh> Tah. I'm staying with AWS ;)
[05:47] <owh> utlemming: What's the difference between the micro and small image, other than ebs vs instance store. Is there additional software installed, or is this an AWS constraint?
[05:48] <utlemming> owh: None -- there is no difference between the images other instance vs ebs. The difference is entirely MS.
[05:49] <owh> MS?
[05:49] <utlemming> owh: sorry...I'm a bit jet lagged...I meant AWS
[05:50] <owh> utlemming: So, could I use an instance store image on a micro instance - that's a mouthfull, hope your jet lagged brain can process that ;)
[05:50] <utlemming> owh: nope. micro instances are constrainted to using EBS.
[05:51] <owh> utlemming: Right, so, it's an AWS constraint, now I understand ... I hope.
[05:51] <utlemming> owh: right
[05:52] <owh> All good, tah.
[05:53] <owh> utlemming: And now I can see the wood for the trees. Much obliged.
[05:53] <utlemming> owh: np, Amazon can be a bit daunting. Another place to get help for specific AWS issues is ##aws (yes two #'s)
[05:54] <owh> utlemming: Cool, I'll stick that on my list of handy to know.
[05:54] <philaneous> hi im having trouble updating ubuntu server 12.10
[05:54] <philaneous> something with the kernel
[05:55] <owh> philaneous: "something" isn't specific enough to actually provide any helpful advice. The advice would be "fix something", which is likely not what you're looking for.
[05:56] <philaneous> owh: hi
[05:56] <philaneous> owh: i do sudo aptitude upgrade
[05:57] <philaneous> owh: http://pastebin.com/TRPExR7D
[05:57] <philaneous> owh: thats exactly where im at
[05:59] <owh> philaneous: Looks line line 6 in that is the cause of your errors. "This kernel does not support a non-PAE CPU."
[06:01] <philaneous> i unnderstand that
[06:01] <philaneous> what do i do about it
[06:01] <philaneous> owh: should i continue using my server like that
[06:02] <owh> philaneous: I don't know what you do and do not understand or know. You came here, showed us a pastebin and said "somethings broken", I pointed at what was broken. I don't have specific advice on what to do about this, but googling with that error I showed you suggests that you can install a -pae kernel. I don't have the specific name handy.
[06:03] <owh> philaneous: It looks like Ubuntu dropped support for non PAE hardware, indicating that perhaps you're running an older CPU. If the machine is in production, I'd be staying with 12.04 LTS.
[06:03] <philaneous> i think i will go back
[06:04] <philaneous> it was working fine until i upgraded
[06:04] <philaneous> and it is an older computer
[06:04] <philaneous> here are the specs
[06:04] <philaneous> philaneous.com
[06:04] <philaneous> check it out
[06:04] <philaneous> i have a php file that shows u
[06:04] <philaneous> owh: i appreciate your help
[06:04] <owh> philaneous: Unfortunately I don't have specific help instructions to impart. Downgrading an upgrade is likely going to be painful.
[06:05] <philaneous> i know
[06:05] <philaneous> owh: im probably going to have to redo it
[06:05] <philaneous> owh: start from scratch
[06:05] <philaneous> owh: again :(
[06:05] <owh> philaneous: You **MAY** be able to use apt-cache search "-pae"
[06:06] <philaneous> so type sudo apt-cache search "-pae"
[06:06] <owh> philaneous: no need for sudo
[06:06] <jmarsden> owh: I think it is somewhat the opposite -- he need a non-PAE kernel, one that does not need the PAE CPU capability.
[06:06] <fleish> hi all, I'm trying to install the cloud/uec images using openstack essex. precise & oneiric fired right up. lucid however is failing to get past initramfs b/c it can't find /dev/xvda to mount as root. can anyone help me figure out what's going on?
[06:06] <philaneous> jmarsden: is right
[06:07] <philaneous> jmarsden: i do need a kernel that does not require PAE CPU capability
[06:07] <owh> jmarsden: So, doesn't the package name for a "normal" kernel exclude pae in the name, and a kernel that does not require pae have pae in the name?
[06:07] <owh> jmarsden: I don't have a 12.10 handy.
[06:08] <philaneous> fuck i shouldnt have upgraded guys
[06:08] <owh> philaneous: Magic happens when you're having fun :)
[06:09] <owh> Hold tight though, you might not have to start again.
[06:09] <philaneous> i think its creating errors too when im in irc
[06:09] <jmarsden> owh: That naming convention was the case before PAE became the default, at least.  I suspect 12.10 kernels (which by default need PAE, I think) do not use the "pae" in their names, because there is no official "non-PAE" version of them.
[06:11] <jmarsden> Assuming the kernel package at http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/linux-image-3.5.0-17-generic needs PAE... it doesn't seem to have PAE in its name...
[06:12] <owh> Yeah, I'm looking too...
[06:12] <philaneous> thanks guys
[06:12] <fleish> nobody?
[06:13] <jmarsden> fleish: It's late in the USA and too early for Western Europe to be awake... you might want to ask again in 2 or 3 hours when the UK-based folks wake up
[06:15] <owh> philaneous: Looks like your SOOL. Sorry.
[06:15] <fleish> jmarsden: yeah but then it'll be really late in the USA I'll probably hope to be asleep come 2-3am ;)
[06:15] <philaneous> owh: fuck
[06:15] <philaneous> man
[06:15] <philaneous> ok
[06:16] <jmarsden> fleish: well, then go to bed now and ask again in 8 hours when you wake up :)
[06:16] <owh> philaneous: Before you start formatting discs, perhaps you should seek other opinion.
[06:16] <philaneous> dude
[06:16] <philaneous> i cant even afford to wipe out my dics
[06:16] <philaneous> not this is instant
[06:17] <owh> You *MAY* be able to compile your own kernel, but it's been many years since I last did that.
[06:17] <jmarsden> philaneous: I think owh is correct, in that there is no official non-PAE kernel being made for Quantal 12.10 that I can see.  You might be able to grab the relevant kernel source packages and hack them a bit and build yourself a new non-PAE kernel build... but you'd need a PAE-capable machine and some knowledge of packaging and building stuff from source to do that.
[06:18] <philaneous> jmarsden: yeah man
[06:19] <philaneous> jmarsden: its a very old laptop
[06:19] <philaneous> stil lrungs
[06:19] <philaneous> still runs*
[06:19] <owh> As a server?
[06:19] <jmarsden> philaneous: Are you saying you have a server that you upgraded... when you had *no* backup of it??  This is #ubuntu-server... so you're running a server, right?
[06:19] <philaneous> jmarsden: yes
[06:19] <philaneous> jmarsden: philaneous.com
[06:20] <philaneous> jmarsden: all specs are in the indec
[06:20] <philaneous> index**
[06:20] <jmarsden> So step #1 is going to be to get yourself a backup of the machine in its current state.  Before you do anything at all.
[06:20] <philaneous> jmarsden: i know
[06:20] <philaneous> jmarsden: im just going to save all my files
[06:20] <philaneous> and reformat it
[06:21] <owh> Uhm, you may be able to install an older kernel.
[06:21] <philaneous> how
[06:21] <owh> apt-get install.
[06:22] <philaneous> hold on
[06:22] <jmarsden> Wait... it is up now... and says it is running 12.10.  So... I dn't understand...
[06:22] <philaneous> jmarsden: dude i cant update
[06:22] <jmarsden> philaneous: Can't update any package at all, or just can't update the kernel?
[06:22] <philaneous> jmarsden: I think owh is correct, in that there is no official non-PAE kernel being made for Quantal 12.10 that I  can see.  You might be able to grab the relevant kernel source packages and hack them a bit and build yourself a new  non-PAE kernel build... but you'd need a PAE-capable machine and some knowledge of packaging and building stuff from  source to do that.
[06:23] <philaneous> ooooppps sorry
[06:23] <philaneous> mistake
[06:23] <philaneous> jmarsden: so im typing sudo aptitude upgrade
[06:24] <owh> I'm looking for the package name for the most recent non pae kernel.
[06:24] <jmarsden> If the machine is up and running, you should be able to update everything except the kernel just fine, and buy yourself some time to research how to build custom non-PAE kernels in a few days or weeks.
[06:24] <philaneous> jmarsden: lol
[06:24] <philaneous> jmarsden: thats going to take some time brother
[06:24] <owh> jmarsden: So, just an apt fix?
[06:25] <jmarsden> owh: The machine is up... running apparently OK.  So either just update whatever non-kernel packages need updating, or pin the kernel to whatever it is now running...
[06:25] <philaneous> jmarsden: http://pastebin.com/28fMPkPt
[06:25] <philaneous> jmarsden: thats after i type sudo aptitude upgrade
[06:26] <owh> So, I'm guessing sudo aptitude -f upgrade would resolve the problem ---- don't type this until this is confirmed!
[06:27] <jmarsden> philaneous: That pastebin output shows that trying to upgrade the kernel fails.  So... don't do that.  pin it to whatever version it now runs, and then update/upgrade anything else you need to update on the machine.
[06:28] <jmarsden> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[06:29] <philaneous> jmarsden: is this pretty much to target individual files
[06:29] <jmarsden> owh: I'm not sure about what aptitude -f would do, so I'd be a bit hesitant to try it...
[06:29] <jmarsden> philaneous: Yes, it lets you tell apt "keep this package at this version please"
[06:30] <owh> jmarsden: I would expect it to remove the attempt to upgrade the kernel. But as you say, I'm not sure either...
[06:31] <philaneous> jmarsden: so this is just going to upgrade the other programs i need
[06:32] <jmarsden> philaneous: That would be the idea, yes.
[06:33] <philaneous> jmarsden: but i have to do soe many things
[06:33] <philaneous> and they dont recommend it
[06:33] <philaneous> also
[06:33] <philaneous> libc6 version  match
[06:34] <jmarsden> You are a server admin... so you get to learn about a new aspect of apt and dpkg use now... your server is up and running, and noone is asking you to do anything with libc6.
[06:34] <owh> philaneous: Just so you know, by pinning the kernel, you're just saying, don't touch this kernel package. Your other options are, don't upgrade any packages, re-install, or manually roll-back your server.
[06:34] <jmarsden> The only packages I am suggesting you pin are the kernel packages.
[06:35] <philaneous> ok i will consider that
[06:35] <owh> philaneous: There is nothing inherently bad about pinning. It has implications further down the track.
[06:36] <owh> philaneous: Some of those implications will bite you later, but the hole you dug yourself into is a deep one. We're just attempting to stop you from drowning.
[06:36] <philaneous> owh: how am i drowning
[06:36] <philaneous> owh: its my hard wares fault
[06:37] <jmarsden> philaneous: It has served you well for several years.  It's not really the fault of the CPU that it doesn't have PAE :)
[06:37] <owh> philaneous: You know the line you don't cross, look behind you :) -- seriously, this is basically a hardware incompatibility that has bitten you. Making a backup before you do a dist-upgrade, or any upgrade for that matter is a very good idea.
[06:38] <philaneous> jmarsden: you saw the specs right
[06:38] <philaneous> owh: i know im going to have to roll back
[06:39] <philaneous> owh: with 12.04 it ran pretty good
[06:39] <owh> philaneous: Because rolling back is so painful we're suggesting that pinning the kernel is a less eye poking experience.
[06:39] <jmarsden> philaneous: Yes.  That's a fairly old machine.  So "its my hard wares fault" is not really correct -- the hardware is working to specification.  It is the server admins "fault" for not making and verifying a backup before doing an OS upgrade on a server :)
[06:39] <owh> ROTLF
[06:40] <philaneous> jmarsden: Good point.
[06:40] <owh> I'm laughing so hard, I cannot even type.
[06:40] <owh> ROTFLOL
[06:40] <philaneous> owh: He has a good point.
[06:40] <owh> I'm not disagreeing here :)
[06:40] <philaneous> jmarsden: The backup I can still do though, that won't be a problem.
[06:41] <philaneous> owh: It's not a big deal
[06:41] <philaneous> owh: It could have been worse.
[06:42] <jmarsden> OK, so then the solution is probably (a) make and verify backup (b) install 12.04 (c) restore data and relevant config files from backup (d) make anothe rbackup of new setup (e) set up automated regular backups for the future :)
[06:42] <philaneous> I like 12.04
[06:42] <philaneous> It ran good with it
[06:42] <armaan> o/
[06:42] <armaan> 0/
[06:44] <owh> philaneous: Yup. You could have ssh-ed into a remote server with a full disc, done an upgrade which was in the process of installing something when your internet connection dropped out causing the server to reboot and wait for you to press a key to continue on the console :)
[06:45] <owh> philaneous: That in turn required someone to drive to the datacenter in Alaska where they hit a moose and died. So, yes, it could have been worse, but it's not, so don't worry about it.
[06:46] <philaneous> lmao

[11:41] <bubu\a> hi guys - I setup an http proxy on my ubuntu server install but I need to change the proxy - anyone know where this is written to? can't find in /etc/bash.bashrc or /etc/environment ?
[11:47] <melmoth>  /etc/apt/apt.conf ?
[11:49] <bubu\a> is that the only place it gets written for apt?
[11:49] <bubu\a> it doesnt configure a system wide proxy?
[11:49] <bubu\a> I can see it in apt.conf but wasn't sure if that was the only place it put in the proxy
[11:50] <melmoth> the only "system" wide setting i am aware of is with unity network tool gui thingy.
[11:51] <melmoth> i dont know where it stores stuff, but i would bet for gconf
[11:51] <bubu\a> its a headless server
[11:57] <soren> bubu\a: I don't think it gets set globally, but only for apt. I'm not completely sure, though.
[11:57] <Aison> on ubuntu server 12.10, isc-dhcp-server-ldap is broken
[12:05] <bubu\a> soren, looks like you are correct!
[12:10] <koolhead17> soren: hey there
[13:32] <roddy> What is a good specific source to set up a virtual host using Apache2, PHP, and MySQL on Ubuntu 12.04.  I want to do it from scratch, so that I might have full knowledge of what is going on.
[13:33] <patdk-wk> the manuals of mysql/php/apache2?
[13:33] <patdk-wk> using a specific source/tutorial won't teach you anything about what is going on
[13:35] <roddy> Yeah, I have already started with the Apache2 guide, but I am finding it difficult to get a could overview.  Everything is in bits and pieces and each new bit or piece leads to a lot of other new bits or pieces that require still further query.  As a result, it is difficult to stay focused.
[13:37] <melmoth> roddy, stay focused on apache, untill you manage to have a virutal domain working.
[13:38] <melmoth> then play a bit with php, so that you can render page. Then install mysql, play a bit with command line query.
[13:38] <melmoth> then try to make the same with php. et voila.
[13:39] <roddy> Actually, I already have pretty good knowledge of PHP.  No other recommendations for Apache2?
[13:44] <patdk-wk> the issue with php, or cgi's in general, is security
[13:45] <roddy> Yes, I agree.  The issue is security, but it is also flexibility.  This is the reason I want to know the nuts and bolts and am seeking to avoid any prepared packages.
[13:47] <roddy> Still, having to know every nut and bolt is very painstaking.  And, it is usually not necessary to know everything.
[13:47] <patdk-wk> only true till you hit a problem :)
[13:48] <roddy> Like permissions.
[13:52] <hallyn> utlemming: i'm confused.  is /dev in ubuntu cloud precise images not yet populated then?
[13:52] <patdk-wk> permiessions are defently needed
[13:52] <patdk-wk> depending on what type of hosting your doing
[13:53] <roddy> What I would like to do is set up to virtual hosts on the same machine on the same LAN.  Use one that is completely permission free and the other that is built for the internet WAN.  The first host would be for experimentation and easy entry and exit.  The second would be for WAN testing, but on my LAN.
[13:53] <patdk-wk> the worst thing, is using a cgi program on one website, to edit/modify/read another website
[13:53] <hallyn> stgraber: utlemming: perhaps long term implementing a '-o newinstance' for devtmpfs is worth it in the kernel
[13:53] <patdk-wk> if all the websites are technically managed/owned by the same person, not a huge deal
[13:53] <patdk-wk> but different people, it is a big deal
[13:53] <stgraber> hallyn: +1
[13:55] <roddy> The machine and LAN are owned by me, but I want to be able to pick up the second virtual host and move it anywhere without a lot of complication.
[13:55] <patdk-wk> no, it's who owned the virtualhosts that is the issue, normally
[13:57] <roddy> My problem is that I do not know how or where I will host the content of my second virtual host, and would like to be able to have it hosted anywhere.
[14:06] <zul> ugh i need tomcat
[14:06] <CharlieSu> Hi all.  I'm using the internal-sftp of SSHD to run a chroot'ed SFTP server on a box.  Is there a good way to log this SFTP activity?  Not just logins, but file downloads and uploads too?
[14:07] <soren> zul: I'm so sorry to hear that.
[14:09] <roddy> Do you know Java?
[14:51] <blazemore> What's the minimum amount of X-stuff I need to install for "ssh -X host firefox" to work?
[14:52] <melmoth> an x server and a ssh client ?
[14:53] <TheLordOfTime> blazemore, on your end you need an x server and an SSH client
[14:53] <blazemore> so just xserver-xorg is all I need?
[14:53] <TheLordOfTime> you won't need  more on the remote, if it already has firefox it has GUI stuff
[14:53] <blazemore> No it doesn't
[14:53] <blazemore> It's a vanilla Ubuntu server install
[14:53] <melmoth> you will probably also like a xterm of some sort to be able to run the ssh command in.
[14:53] <blazemore> No, I want to run X applications remotely, but I don't want a full DE
[14:54] <melmoth> without one, you ll just have windows you wont be able to ..move, or close.
[14:54] <melmoth> so it ll work, but ill not be cozy
[14:55] <TheLordOfTime> what melmoth said
[14:55] <blazemore> It's fine, I'll deal with that
[14:55] <blazemore> I just need to run remote GUI apps ocassionally over SSH with X forwarding
[14:55] <blazemore> so I just need the package xserver-xorg?
[14:56] <melmoth> and a xterm (i m not sure what would happen if you put the ssh comand in your .Xclient or .xinitrc file)
[15:00] <blazemore> Oh ffs
[15:00] <blazemore> Is there a way I can take irssi and put it in a new screen session?
[15:01] <blazemore> I forgot to run screen before I ran irssi
[15:02] <TheLordOfTime> blazemore, exit irssi, run screen, then run irssi?
[15:04] <blazemore> yeah I guess so
[15:12] <noob2> is there a bug in ubuntu server 12.04 which prevents it from binding ldaps for authentication?  i copied my config exactly from a working redhat server and ubuntu won't bind properly
[15:14] <noob2> anyone have a working ldaps configuration they'd be willing to share?
[15:17] <bubu\a> smbmount //10.29.39.23/clientshares /mnt/hd2/clientshares/ -o user=samba,pass=t0r3x,gid=ubuntu,uid=ubuntu - anyone know why this mounts the share to /mnt/hd2/clientshares but as root and not ubuntu...?
[15:42] <_KaszpiR_> hm I get wrid server freezes
[15:42] <_KaszpiR_> cannot diagnose it :/
[15:45] <RoyK> wrid?
[15:45] <_KaszpiR_> weird
[15:45] <_KaszpiR_> the machine stopped respoding to anything except ping
[15:45] <RoyK> _KaszpiR_: nothing in the logs?
[15:46] <_KaszpiR_> tried to ssh and it showed proer login prompt, entered login and it just froze
[15:46] <RoyK> _KaszpiR_: configuring serial or network console may help
[15:46] <RoyK> _KaszpiR_: what you're describing usually means something I/O related is fscked up
[15:46] <_KaszpiR_> but total freeze?
[15:46] <_KaszpiR_> I guess zfsonlinux is buggy
[15:47] <RoyK> usually, if you try to login, and you get login prompt, but it hangs after typing password, I/O is probably hanging
[15:47] <RoyK> _KaszpiR_: use a serial or network console
[15:47] <_KaszpiR_> hard reboot
[15:47] <RoyK> _KaszpiR_: that way you'll get a message if the kernel OOPSes
[15:47] <RoyK> _KaszpiR_: that obviously helps :P
[15:48] <RoyK> _KaszpiR_: but if I/O is hanging, it probably won't tell you much from the logs (nowhere to log...)
[15:48] <_KaszpiR_> well, I've installed X on it,
[15:48] <RoyK> X hides kernel messages
[15:48] <_KaszpiR_> and normally kernel panic should show something
[15:48] <RoyK> a panic, yes, but not an OOPS
[15:48] <RoyK> which may be what you're getting
[15:48] <_KaszpiR_> oh
[15:49] <RoyK> an OOPS is a "panic light"
[15:49] <RoyK> not bad enough to panic, but quite often serious enough to hang I/O
[15:50] <_KaszpiR_> eah
[15:50]  * RoyK would use something based on illumos or freebsd to get ZFS
[15:50] <RoyK> ZFS is stable on openindiana, smartos, omnios, nexenta and freebsd
[15:51] <RoyK> choose the OI or Fbsd if you want X
[15:51] <RoyK> probably fbsd, since OI isn't very frequently updated anymore
[15:58] <_KaszpiR_> nothing in the logs
[16:18] <RoyK> _KaszpiR_: no, there usually aren't anything in the logs if the I/O system hangs
[16:18] <_KaszpiR_> yeah, buffered et
[16:18] <_KaszpiR_> etc
[16:18] <RoyK> _KaszpiR_: that's why you should use a network console, or perhaps a serial console if you're old-fashioned
[16:18] <_KaszpiR_> the only option would be setting up remote syslog
[16:18] <RoyK> no, not because of buffers, because it just can't write to hung I/O
[16:19] <RoyK> or network console
[16:19] <_KaszpiR_> will try netconsole
[16:19] <RoyK> which is probably the safest
[16:19]  * RoyK likes serial consoles
[16:19] <RoyK> but netconsole will undoubably work
[16:21] <RoyK> still, I would recommend against using zfsonlinux for anything but testing
[16:21] <_KaszpiR_> well, i keep crap on it
[16:21] <_KaszpiR_> ;D
[16:22] <RoyK> sounds like testing ;)
[17:43] <fleish> hi all, I'm trying to install the cloud/uec images using openstack essex. precise & oneiric fired right up. lucid however is failing to get past initramfs b/c it can't find /dev/xvda to mount as root. can anyone help me figure out what's going on?

[18:37] <xsl> and xauth
[18:37] <xsl> is there a tutorial on a cleanup install of a ubuntu server?
[18:37] <sarnold> xsl: were they brought in for ssh -X forwarding?
[18:38] <xsl> wel i tought of X forwarding but its a rarely used "feature"
[18:38] <xsl> and i was trying to purge the install the best i could
[18:40] <xsl> its like the crda package .. and my server does not use wireless stuff..
[18:40] <xsl> there are some dependencies and packages that i just dont get it

[22:18] <Ryan_Lane> when will updated openstack packages be released?
[22:19] <Ryan_Lane> it's lagging really, really far behind the openstack point release for essex
[22:19] <Ryan_Lane> and some of the fixes in that were security ones

[22:35] <Ryan_Lane> shit, is it in a ppa and not in updates?
[22:36] <Ryan_Lane> I see newer releases from ubuntu in launchpad, but it isn't in the repo
[22:38] <Ryan_Lane> god I hate launchpad so, so much. I can't find out where the hell these packages are coming from
