| elemay2 | hi, im on ubuntu server 12.04 x64, i have 2 nics (both e1000 / Intel Pro 1000). These are configured as bond0, one of them is only getting 100mbps link. i changed the card already with another one and also changed the nw-cable, i also switched the ports on the switch. any hints for this? | 08:12 |

| sveinse | I'm running 12.04 amd64 server (kernel 3.2.0-37-generic #58) on a VMware vCenter Server (5.1.0). I'm having regular problems with the kernel crashing. Invalid opcode 0000 in highmem.h:194. Ubuntu runs the latest VMWareTools. Any ideas? | 08:33 |

| cnf | hi | 08:47 |
| cnf | when using a preseed installation, is there a way to get the installer to ask confirmation for prefilled values? | 08:47 |
| rbasak | cnf: you can avoid setting priority on the kernel commandline. Or set it to low for even more questions | 08:50 |
| cnf | rbasak: how does that get me prefilled questions? | 08:50 |
| cnf | i want no questions, except for network configuration | 08:51 |
| cnf | and i want those fields prefilled with defaul values | 08:51 |
| rbasak | Oh, I see. I'm not sure you can do that. | 08:51 |
| rbasak | Questions you are asked are based on their priority | 08:51 |
| cnf | hmm | 08:51 |
| rbasak | Preseeding sets defaults in advance. I believe the two mechanisms are entirely independent | 08:52 |
| cnf | i can get it to prompt for network settings | 08:52 |
| cnf | but i would like to prepopulate for example our dns servers | 08:52 |
| rbasak | Maybe there's another mechanism I'm unaware of | 08:52 |
| rbasak | Why not just use DHCP? | 08:52 |
| cnf | uhm, because there is no dhcp on our network | 08:52 |
| cnf | at all | 08:53 |
| cnf | anywhere | 08:53 |
| rbasak | Put one in then :) | 08:53 |
| cnf | why would we do that? | 08:53 |
| rbasak | So that you don't have to input network settings | 08:53 |
| cnf | we'd have to run maybe 50 dhcp servers | 08:53 |
| cnf | not much of a solution :P | 08:54 |
| rbasak | Crazy | 08:54 |
| cnf | rbasak: probably about 200 physical machines (not counting customer machines) with in all 300 or 400 OSes running on 50ih vlans? | 08:54 |
| rbasak | At that scale you should have everything fully automated then | 08:55 |
| cnf | legacy is a horrible thing :P | 08:55 |
| rbasak | Use a provisioning vlan with one dhcp server | 08:55 |
| cnf | which entails switching around vlans left and right | 08:56 |
| cnf | like i said, legacy is a horrible thing | 08:56 |
| vedic | How to disable single user login to improve security of the server? What is the best practice? | 09:35 |
| agu10^ | I am unable to understand how to set up virtual hosts properly. Tutorials send me to edit DIFFERENT config files. This inconsistency troubles me. am I not supposed to have one file per virtual host at sites-available ?? tutorials make me edit httpd.conf, or add a new file "virtual.conf", or stuff like that. But i believe neither is the right approach. any clues? I have added a file at /etc/apache2/sites-available/potentialstudio.com . | 09:39 |
| agu10^ | .. but it's not doing anything | 09:39 |
| cnf | rbasak: from #ubuntu-installer: | 09:44 |

| rbasak | Ah, handy | 09:45 |
| rbasak | Thanks | 09:45 |
| cnf | yeah, indeed | 09:45 |
| jpds | vedic: What are you trying to do? | 09:57 |
| jpds | vedic: Disable the recovery mode? | 09:57 |
| vedic | jpds: Server is colocated and placed at remote location. Just thought to increase its security if somebody try logging in as single user mode | 10:00 |
| jpds | vedic: If they have physical access, there's not much you can do. | 10:00 |
| vedic | jpds: yea, live cd is always an option. | 10:01 |
| jpds | vedic: LiveCD, ripping the hard drives out. | 10:01 |
| jpds | vedic: All I can really suggest is putting non-system files on an encrypted partition. | 10:04 |
| jpds | But then every time the server boots, you'll have to manually mount that partition. | 10:04 |
| vedic | jpds: I think that would stop running programs reading files. I have my codes and data text files in home dir and encrypting that would cause programs to not function properly | 10:05 |
| jpds | vedic: Yeah, I'm thinking non-home dir encryption. | 10:06 |
| hackeron | I'm trying to install ubuntu on a blank hard-drive connecting to an exiting ubuntu server. I have most of the progress figured out - but I cannot get it to boot. I just see a white blinking cursor and the grub menu never shows up. I think my partitioning code must be wrong: http://pastie.org/6173525 -- any ideas what is wrong with that? | 11:23 |
| cfhowlett | hackeron, probably a grub configuration issue, i.e. grub has to be directed to the bootable media | 11:24 |
| freesbie | hackeron: have you done a grub-install on the new disk ? | 11:25 |
| hackeron | freesbie: yes, I did grub-install $DRIVE - it said installed without issues | 11:26 |
| hackeron | freesbie: if I change the label from gpt to msdos - instead of a blinking white cursor, I get a reboot loop | 11:27 |
| hackeron | cfhowlett: yes, this is what I'm doing with parted $DRIVE -- set 1 bios_grub on | 11:28 |
| freesbie | hackeron: you may have to give it --boot-directory=DIR aswell | 11:52 |
| hackeron | freesbie: but it's /boot which is the default :/ | 11:58 |
| agu10^ | I can't get apache2 to start! root@domU-12-31-39-10-4A-43:/etc/apache2# service apache2 start | 11:59 |
| agu10^ | * Starting web server apache2 Action 'start' failed. | 11:59 |
| agu10^ | The Apache error log may have more information. | 11:59 |
| greppy | agu10^: what do the logs tell you? | 12:00 |
| agu10^ | nothing at all | 12:00 |
| agu10^ | the last log was hours ago | 12:01 |
| agu10^ | when it still worked | 12:01 |
| greppy | so there is nothing in /var/log/apache2/error.log? | 12:01 |
| agu10^ | nothing new. and nothing related to this failure | 12:01 |
| agu10^ | last log there is from 2 hours ago | 12:01 |
| agu10^ | a GET request | 12:01 |
| greppy | is that where it is still configured to log to? | 12:01 |
| agu10^ | but now it's not even STARTING | 12:01 |
| agu10^ | yes, as far as i know, yes | 12:02 |
| agu10^ | i didn't change it | 12:02 |
| greppy | agu10^: what about sudo apache2ctl configtest | 12:04 |
| greppy | ? | 12:04 |
| agu10^ | Syntax OK | 12:04 |
| greppy | got me then. | 12:04 |
| greppy | I'd double check that the logs are still going to where you expect | 12:05 |
| agu10^ | how do i know? | 12:06 |
| greppy | look in the configuration files in /etc/apache2 | 12:06 |
| bitnumus | Hi, im trying to install ubuntu-server, the installation failed at loading the CD-ROM stage, any way to find out why? | 12:06 |
| agu10^ | greppy, i did | 12:07 |
| cfhowlett | bitnumus, any error messages? also did you md5sum the iso? | 12:08 |
| agu10^ | ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log | 12:08 |
| bitnumus | i did md5sum the ISO yea | 12:08 |
| bitnumus | it failed 4 times, i tried formatting the USB to fat32 etc | 12:08 |
| gregory58 | Hello, I am following a Railscast(http://railscasts.com/episodes/335-deploying-to-a-vps) to deploy to DO, but I am getting a "bash: vim: command not found" error when I input "vim ~/.bashrc " | 12:09 |
| cfhowlett | bitnumus, bootable cd/dvd? or usb? | 12:09 |
| bitnumus | cfhowlett, USB | 12:09 |
| bitnumus | using 'unetbootin' | 12:09 |
| cfhowlett | bitnumus, easy check: different usb. they do get squirrely ... | 12:09 |
| bitnumus | hmm, not sure i have another one handy | 12:10 |
| bitnumus | worth 00'ing it or something? | 12:10 |
| cfhowlett | bitnumus, just format as normal I'd say | 12:11 |
| bitnumus | yea i did that using gparted | 12:11 |
| bitnumus | cfhowlett, i ran 'check disk integrity' and it fails on a file saying 'file failed the Md5 checksum verifitcation' | 12:13 |
| bitnumus | Is there an alternative to unetbootin i can try, to rule that out ? | 12:13 |
| hackeron | freesbie: I get this: # grub-install --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sdi | 12:13 |
| hackeron | Installation finished. No error reported. | 12:13 |
| hackeron | but when I try to boot, I just see a white blinking cursor and the grub menu is never shown - I think it is the partition table to blame | 12:14 |
| cfhowlett | bitnumus, this is your downloaded iso? if it failed download again. I'd use the torrent for best results... | 12:16 |
| bitnumus | cfhowlett, i downloaded it from releases.ubuntu.com | 12:17 |
| bitnumus | and the md5sum of the download is correct | 12:17 |
| cfhowlett | bitnumus, so on installation it reads an error? the bootable usb is fragged. do it again - perhaps with startupdiskcreator? | 12:18 |
| bitnumus | im trying startup disk creator now | 12:18 |
| bitnumus | i ran 'check disk integrity' and it fails on a file saying 'file failed the Md5 checksum verifitcation' | 12:18 |
| bitnumus | it fails on loading files from CD-ROM | 12:18 |
| bitnumus | it boots fine | 12:19 |
| cfhowlett | bitnumus, you're reading inconsistent feedback ... clearly there's an error here. either hardware or software fail... | 12:20 |
| gregory58 | Anyone know how to install vim on a Ubuntu VPS like Digital Ocean....I'm getting a vim: command not found error | 12:20 |
| freesbie | hackeron: maybe it is, I remember having some problems with GPT and grub, had to make a bit of free unpartitioned space to make it work. but that was on virtual machines, afair I initiated grub from within a chroot on the disk-image | 12:20 |
| cfhowlett | bitnumus, option? install the mini.iso and download then add the packages you need via internet... | 12:21 |
| cfhowlett | and don't use CD-rom? | 12:21 |
| bitnumus | cfhowlett, ill try this startup disk creator and see what happens | 12:21 |
| bitnumus | im not using a CD-ROM | 12:21 |
| hackeron | freesbie: yeh, that's pretty much what I'm doing except not on a virtual machine - I'm doing chroot /tmp/target and then running the grub-install - I tried to leave the free space in my partitioning: http://pastie.org/6173525 - but it just wont boot :/ | 12:22 |
| bitnumus | thats what the installer calls it | 12:22 |
| mah454 | Hello | 12:34 |
| mah454 | I installed mysql in ubuntu 12.10 | 12:34 |
| mah454 | but have not log in /var/log for mysql ! | 12:34 |
| mah454 | How can enable mysql log ? | 12:35 |
| andol | mah454: /etc/mysql/my.cnf | 12:36 |
| mah454 | andol: what line must change ? | 12:36 |
| andol | mah454: That depends what kind of logging you want. Tried searching for the word log in the file? | 12:37 |
| mah454 | andol: mysql authentication (User Login or Logout) | 12:39 |
| andol | Not sure about that particular case. | 12:41 |

| smoser | hey | 16:19 |
| zul | smoser: this is the dirty fix to get it going again http://paste.ubuntu.com/1658525/ | 16:20 |
| zul | smoser: im coming up with a bit more elegant solution ;) | 16:20 |
| smoser | zul, is the issue that they're trying to use libvirt's mounting of disks ? as opposed to having nova set that up and providing libvirt with a path ? | 16:22 |
| sliddjur | How do I list a packages dependencies? ubuntu server 10 | 16:23 |
| zul | smoser: thats the eventual goal i think | 16:23 |
| zul | smoser: but the disk doesnt get copied to the instances directory right now because mapping is an empty arrary because blockinfo.py doesnt understand lxc block devices (hint: there isnt any) | 16:25 |
| smoser | sliddjur, apt-get install --dry-run <package> | 16:27 |
| smoser | will give you a list of what it would install for you | 16:27 |
| smoser | apt-cache show <package> | 16:27 |
| smoser | will show you its immediate dependencies | 16:27 |
| sliddjur | smoser: apt-cache show package | grep Depends worked out well =) | 16:28 |
| zul | smoser: but one of the problems i see with lxc block devices is that the domain gets created before the images get created and keys are injected | 16:37 |
| smoser | well, we dont really care about injected keys. | 16:38 |
| smoser | but we will probably need files to come from somewhere | 16:38 |
| Eagleman | Is there being worked on a backport for libvirt 1.01+ ? | 17:03 |
| ivoks | jamespage: ive tried without haproxy; same thing :-/ | 17:06 |
| iqualfragile | the ubuntu serverguide suggests using only ldap for authentification, is it safe to do so? (instead of using kerberos) | 17:09 |

| keithzg_ | Rather random question, I'm using s3cmd to sync some backups and on every file I get "WARNING: path/to/file: Owner groupname not known. Storing GID-3342 instead." I'm inexperienced enough with S3 that I really don't know what that implies (otherwise the backups seem fine). | 18:28 |
| NewNewb | Good evening/day/morning! Ive got issues with a game server running on ubuntu through wine. Problem is, I cannot connect to my game server - and I have no clue how to do error searching. Ideas?` | 18:30 |
| sarnold | NewNewb: is the game server hosted on a different network than the clients trying to connect? | 18:31 |
| NewNewb | Its on my LAN. and connecting through local IP, nor external works(for my friends). The server itself shows up in the game's server browser | 18:32 |
| sarnold | NewNewb: are there any log entries in /var/log/ that look related? | 18:33 |
| sarnold | NewNewb: does wine preserve enough of windows to have the windows event log that might also have information from the game server? | 18:33 |
| NewNewb | I tried syslog, nothing at all. And I tried messages, also nothing, it just says "--MARK--" allt he time | 18:33 |
| sarnold | NewNewb: windows allows any process to bind to "low ports", < 1024 -- Linux does not. a process must be privileged to bind to a low port... | 18:34 |
| sarnold | that --MARK-- will become reassuring eventually :) | 18:34 |
| NewNewb | ports of relevance here are 7778, 7777, and 27015 | 18:34 |
| Eagleman | Is there being worked on a backport for libvirt 1.01+ ? | 18:35 |
| NewNewb | 7777 being the port external connections come through. 7778 lists the server (i think) and 27015 is a steam port... no clue what that one does :) | 18:35 |
| sarnold | NewNewb: darn, there goes another potentially easy answer :) | 18:35 |
| NewNewb | haha, ive been hitting up forums and google for two weeks now. I just suck at linux - and dont know how to do proper error checking :( | 18:36 |

| aaa801 | Welp i think i juts found the issue | 19:43 |
| sarnold | aha, you anticipated my next question :) | 19:43 |
| * aaa801 walks off in shame | 19:44 | |
| sarnold | thgh, uh, one does wonder what java intended to do with 36 gigabytes of memory. | 19:44 |
| aaa801 | i only had it assigned 30gb | 19:45 |
| aaa801 | =/ | 19:45 |
| aaa801 | how it managed to even get hold of 36gb is odd | 19:45 |
| aaa801 | im giving it 26g now | 19:46 |
| sarnold | aaa801: sorry.... it had allocated 36 gigs, but used 28 or so... | 19:47 |
| sarnold | is that expected for minecraft? o_O | 19:47 |
| aaa801 | for this server ye | 19:47 |
| aaa801 | 100 slots | 19:47 |
| aaa801 | mc is terrible for memory management + java is too | 19:47 |
| sarnold | damn :) | 19:47 |
| aaa801 | still not sure it had allocated 36 gig | 19:48 |
| aaa801 | it was started with a max of 30g defined =/ | 19:48 |
| sarnold | aaa801: well, virtual memory that was allocated by potentially never actually used... | 19:50 |
| sarnold | well, you can see the RSS there, it wasn't used.. :) | 19:50 |
| aaa801 | then whyd it kill the process | 19:50 |
| aaa801 | >_> | 19:50 |
| sarnold | aaa801: how much RAM does the machine have? | 19:50 |
| aaa801 | 32gb | 19:50 |
| sarnold | aaa801: does it run anything else that might have taken up 4-odd gigs? | 19:51 |
| aaa801 | shouldnt do, its got two ssd's in raid | 19:51 |
| aaa801 | software raid | 19:51 |
| sarnold | aaa801: hrm. the kernel should normally only start killing things once it is in trouble. | 19:52 |
| aaa801 | let me open up top | 19:52 |
| sarnold | aaa801: you could add some swap files ... dd to create them, mkswap to format them, then swapon to add them. | 19:52 |
| aaa801 | http://i.imgur.com/MabnN78.png | 19:53 |
| aaa801 | how is it managing to take up 31.6g | 19:53 |
| aaa801 | when its limited to 26g | 19:53 |
| aaa801 | -.- | 19:53 |
| aaa801 | sarnold, any ideas? | 19:53 |
| sarnold | aaa801: well, right now it is only taking up ten gigs... | 19:54 |
| sarnold | aaa801: oooh | 19:54 |
| aaa801 | oooh? | 19:54 |
| sarnold | aaa801: hrm, maybe 'oooh' in a bit. | 19:55 |
| aaa801 | ._. | 19:55 |
| sarnold | aaa801: perhaps the 31 vs 26 is just 1000 vs 1024 nonsense? | 19:55 |
| aaa801 | still shouldnt be that high when its on 26G | 19:55 |
| sarnold | no, 28g at the most if that were it... | 19:55 |
| sarnold | aaa801: okay, back to 'oooh' | 19:55 |
| sarnold | aaa801: if you don't want to add some swap space, you could tweak /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory or /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_ratio to force memory allocations by java to fail when the machine really has run out of memory | 19:56 |
| aaa801 | swap space and ssds dont tend to mix too well | 19:56 |
| sarnold | aaa801: yeah, I know what you mean. but it might not be used too frequently.. | 19:57 |
| sarnold | (you' have to chech with e.g. vmstat 1 once it is running again to find out) | 19:57 |
| sarnold | aaa801: you can find details on the proc files in the proc(5) manpage | 19:58 |
