| xnox | pfak: with .override files you can change particular stanza, e.g. override just the exec stanza to add more parameters and the rest (pre-/post- start/stop) will be kept. | 08:35 |
|---|---|---|
| xnox | pfak: or make a new different job "start on started foo" to have things execute straight after. | 08:35 |
| xnox | pfak: what job do you want to append to? and what do you want to append? | 08:36 |
| Trevinho | Hey... Since the upgrade to kernel 3.10 in saucy. I can't boot anymore using the normal mode... (see bug #1195687), is that somewhat known? | 13:02 |
| Trevinho | Using the recovery mode works instead... | 13:03 |
| jodh | Trevinho: please see the latest comment on the bug. | 13:30 |
| Trevinho | jodh: I think I'm unable to boot... All I get it's a black screen (i didn't check withot quiet yet but it seems like a problem in initializing plymouth), checking that though, thanks | 13:33 |
| Trevinho | jodh: what's the best way for you to make me get the console log? | 13:34 |
| jodh | Trevinho: I don't know what hardware, etc you have - can you just confirm whether there is a crash shown onscreen when you remove 'quiet' and 'splash'? if so, a photo attachment is good enough. | 13:35 |
| Trevinho | jodh: ok | 13:35 |
| Trevinho | jodh: unfortunately I'm getting a black screen... | 13:41 |
| Trevinho | jodh: also removing splash and quiet I'm getting a fast log, then the screen gets blank | 13:41 |
| Trevinho | (and nothing in /var/crash this time) | 13:43 |
| jodh | Trevinho: can you ctrl-alt-f1/f2? do the caps-lock/num-lock lights still work? is the system accessible via ssh? please could you add those details to the bug. | 13:50 |
| axyelp | how do i add a random number to my exec script? using env VARIABLE=$((RANDOM%100) doesn't work | 13:50 |
| Trevinho | jodh: mh, ok, I'll check that... | 13:54 |
| Trevinho | jodh: however I've found what's blocking init | 13:55 |
| Trevinho | jodh: I'm using the custom cmd line for linux radeon.audio=1 | 13:55 |
| Trevinho | jodh: removing that it boots with normal boot profile.. | 13:55 |
| Trevinho | jodh: that's weird btw... as it seems to work in recovery | 13:55 |
| axyelp | any way to use random values in upstart? | 13:58 |
| jodh | axyelp: 'env' doesn't pass the variable value through a shell for expansion, but you can obviously set variables in a script section. If this is a Session Init job however, you *can* do what you want though by having your job call "initctl set-env VARIABLE=$((RANDOM%100))" in say the pre-start section, and that would then be available to all other sections. | 14:01 |
| Trevinho | jodh: just checked... not using hdmi audio in recovery mode so it seems mostly a kernel issue.. mh | 14:02 |
| axyelp | jodh: thanks? is there anything specific to import before using it? adding the line breaks the script | 14:07 |
| jodh | axyelp: before using initctl? no. breaks how? | 14:09 |
| axyelp | jodh: by printing 'start: Job failed to start' | 14:10 |
| jodh | axyelp: run init-checkconf /etc/init/your-job.conf | 14:10 |
| axyelp | jodh: it does say syntax ok! here's the script - http://pastebin.com/dKb2thLM | 14:12 |
| jodh | axyelp: RANDOM is a bash-ism. see http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#changing-the-default-shell | 14:15 |
| axyelp | i'm trying with $(od -An -N2 -i /dev/random). sigh! | 14:15 |
| axyelp | jodh: alright! will try that too! | 14:15 |
| axyelp | jodh: well! /dev/random did the trick! thanks! :) | 14:25 |
| jodh | axyelp: np. | 14:25 |
| pfak | xnox: libvirt-bin, i actually wanted to prepend .. | 16:31 |
| xnox | pfak: prepend to exec line should be easy..... inside script doable.... pre-start/pre-stop - well hard | 16:34 |
| xnox | pfak: best edit it inline imho. | 16:34 |
| pfak | ah | 16:34 |
| pfak | I just copypasted the stanza | 16:34 |
| pfak | http://paste.pfak.org/6ea4QJXb | 16:35 |
| pfak | that look proper? | 16:35 |
| xnox | pfak: yes. | 16:36 |
| pfak | sweet! | 16:36 |
| jodh | pfak: you might want to add "|| :" to the end of that ovs-vsctl line in case grep fails say. | 16:38 |
| pfak | ovs-vsctl show | grep 'Port \"vnet.\"' | awk -F\" {'print $2'} | xargs -I {} ovs-vsctl del-port {} || : | 16:38 |
| pfak | ? | 16:38 |
| jodh | pfak: if any of those commands fails, the pre-start will fail, and your job will fail since upstart runs all scripts with "sh -e". See http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#debugging-a-script-which-appears-to-be-behaving-oddly | 16:40 |
| pfak | sexy | 16:41 |
| pfak | (you'll have to pardon me for not rtfmin'g the WHOLE upstart guidebook) | 16:41 |
| pfak | well, hopefully that fixes my problem | 16:44 |
| JoeJulian | I created this conf expecting that as a "task" it would finish before prefdm tries to start. I'd like prefdm to block until this script is finished, otherwise it starts with system defaults instead of the preset user config I want for my users. http://ur1.ca/ei0a7 | 19:45 |
| JoeJulian | It seems to work most of the time, but not reliably. | 19:46 |
| JoeJulian | I also don't want to modify the packaged prefdm.conf | 19:46 |
| JoeJulian | Oh, and this is the centos rpm, upstart-0.6.5-12.el6_4.1.x86_64 | 19:47 |
| pfak | Can't you just use an override? | 19:48 |
| JoeJulian | searching... | 19:49 |
| JoeJulian | Looks like no. Apparenly that comes with 1.3 | 19:50 |
| JoeJulian | Hmm, maybe I'll try it anyway. There is a ".override" string in /sbin/init | 19:52 |
| pfak | :\ too bad | 19:52 |
| pfak | Ah! | 19:52 |
| JoeJulian | And if I'm reading this correctly, I can just put the stanza that I want overriden in the .override and the rest will run from the original? | 19:53 |
| pfak | yes | 19:54 |
| JoeJulian | perfect. Thanks pfak. That was the bit I needed. | 20:02 |
| pfak | It worked? Great. | 20:02 |
| xnox | JoeJulian: hmm... to block a job foo with your own task, you make your job "start on starting foo" | 20:21 |
| JoeJulian | xnox: that's the way it was set, but it wasn't always consistent. (yes, it's been hours... Too many channels open and it was scrolled below the window.) | 23:21 |
