RayfloydHi everyone, I'm trying to install 12.04.2 LTS, however after the install finishes configuring DHCP, the install gui closes... Are the servers down and it doesn't tell me or is it something else? Thanks for the ehlp.00:20
Patrickdkgui?00:28
Rayfloydwell the install screen00:33
sarnoldRayfloyd: are there error messages that you can find anywhere? try looking through all the virtual consoles..00:36
RayfloydI had left the pc open since it disappeared, just checked back and it's back00:37

dassoukiwhat do you guys recommend to add an opensource application that helps me share documents with my staff as well as assign them task (online interface)02:29
delinquentmeOk so lets say i'm staring to build out prototype devices02:38
delinquentmeand I want to automate configuration and setup ... includes sshing in, downloading files via github, specificiying branches02:39
delinquentmewould this be a better use of puppet or just a shell script02:40
delinquentmeI guess depends on the scale ?02:40

lotiagreetings all. in upstart (specifally the version on 12.04 LTS), is it possible for the job to have a "reload" action that sends a specific signal to the process?09:09

Kohelethhardly surprising mysql updates this morning12:33
banzounetHey guys to update phpmyadmin, what else should  I do besides moving the new folder?13:11
pehden-what should the server 12.04 kernel be?13:21
andolpehden-: That depends :) If you did a fresh install from a point you might have a backported kernel installed13:23
andolpehden-: Otherwise the regular 12.04 kernel would now be something like 3.2.0-49*13:23
pehden-3.2.0-48-generic13:24
pehden-hmm13:24
pehden-it wont go past this one13:25
pehden-every update says its keeping this one back13:25
ogra_pehden-, do you use dist-upgrade (as you should for kernel upgrades) ?13:27
ogra_just "ugrade" wont work ...13:27
ogra_*up13:27
pehden-eee13:28
pehden-see i want to only use LTS13:28
ogra_(see the description of upgrade ad dist-upgrade in the apt manpage)13:28
ogra_nobody will stop you :)13:28
JanCsomebody should give dist-upgrade another name  :)13:28
ogra_++13:28
ogra_:)13:28
Pici!dist-upgrade13:28
JanCmaybe an alias13:28
ubottuA dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention.13:28
pehden-ahh ok13:29
pehden-apt-get dist-upgrade?13:29
ogra_yes13:29
pehden-ok13:29
pehden-wait is there a list of things removed before I do this13:29
JanCyes13:30
pehden-3.2.0-48-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 6 19:43:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux13:30
pehden-is what I have now...13:30
pehden-anyone know the link right off?13:30
JanClink for what?13:31
pehden-the list13:31
JanCapt-get will show you13:31
pehden-ok13:31
JanCjust like it shows what it's about to install, upgrade or hold back13:31
pehden-i only have ssh access to this server so I dont want to screw it up13:32
JanCmost likely it will remove nothing13:32
andolpehden-: Feels like you could use a dev environment, where you can do a bit of safe testing :)13:32
andolpehden-: Something like a local virtual machine or something.13:32
pehden-maybe, but this server is live13:32
pehden-looks like its only upgradeing the kernel13:33
JanCyou already upgraded the other packages with 'upgrade'13:33
pehden-exactly13:34
JanCwhich is a good idea BTW, to always do upgrade before dist-upgrade13:34
pehden-i made a script that i use to update everything at once but this command is not on there13:34
JanCbest to check the results of every upgrade command anyway13:36
pehden-oh yea, figured that out the hard way  a year ago13:37
pehden-ran upgrade and it removed programs i used and replaced them with alternatives I was furious13:37
pehden-until i learned how to use the alternatives13:38
JanCwhat programs were that?13:39
pehden-i dont remember that much13:39
pehden-it just removed nvidia driver i think13:42
pehden-and virtualbox13:42
JanCthat wasn't on a server, I suppose  :)13:42
pehden-it was13:42
pehden-both were13:42
pehden-from the original install13:43
pehden-its a desktop converted to a server13:43
bobz_zganyone can help please. I have installed wordpress on nginx, user group www-data, and have created new ftp user and added user to group, but when I upload files over FTP client my wordpress cannot read files?14:03

Davieyroaksoax: done15:02
roaksoaxDaviey: awesome, thanks!!15:02
smbzul, hallyn: In case one of you feeling adventurous... chinstrap:~smb/4review/qemu+xen.debdiff (for Saucy) ;)15:25
hallynsmb: looking15:31
smbhallyn, It is a cherry-pick of three supposedly stable worthy changes on top of qemu to avoid it segfaulting when used for a PV Xen guest and libxl.15:32
hallynsmb: the cp of commit 62fc403f11523169eb4264de31279745f48e3ecc drops a lot of the original commit15:33
hallynhow come?15:33
hallynoh no15:33
hallynlol.  weird formatting on my screen confused me15:33
hallynsmb: +115:34
smbAh ok... I was not sure I had done something like this15:34
smb:)15:34
thafreakSo, I upgraded my test lxc box to the newer 3.8 kernel from raring16:02
thafreakand now it's saying the memory controller cgroup is missing16:02
thafreakis there a work around? or should i go back to the quantal kernel?16:03
jsonperlPatrickdk/sarnold: I declare the issue fixed!16:13
jsonperlopen files limit was the problem16:13

geniiHm.16:47
sarnoldjsonperl: great success!16:48
jsonperltotally… the relief I am feeling this friday is magical16:48
jsonperlthanks so much for the help16:48
patdk-wk:)16:48
sarnoldman, I'm both glad and embarrassed it was something so much simpler than I feared..16:48
jsonperlsame16:49
patdk-wkya, normally that issue is easily solved, cause of error logging16:49
jsonperlI'm actually digging through logs some more to make sure I didn't miss anything16:49
patdk-wkatleast the memory *leak* was fixed though too16:49
patdk-wkand a few other scalability issues that haven't hit yet :)16:50
jsonperlYea some great stuff happened here…16:50
jsonperlWe're just getting rolling too… This is just the beginning of scaling issues ;)16:50
jsonperlI switched all machines to 64 bit after jemalloc magically fixed "the leak"16:50
jsonperlAlso… btw… jemalloc NO LIKE 32 bit16:50
patdk-wkI have never used jemalloc on 32bit16:51
patdk-wkno wonder I never hit that issue16:51
jsonperlAnd you should not :D16:51
jsonperlI got random segfaults after running for a while16:51
jsonperlYea really… NOTHING in the logs16:52
patdk-wknot suprised16:53
patdk-wknormally issues like this is what drive poeple to worry about spending time to add them16:54
jsonperlFound some good articles about tweaks for scaling16:55
jsonperlOne from urban airship about 500,000 concurrents! http://urbanairship.com/blog/2010/09/29/linux-kernel-tuning-for-c500k/16:55
sarnoldhah, nice, when c10k is just too damned cute :)17:09
jsonperlnow THAT is some serious scale17:10
sarnoldwow, their guide has -way- less in it than used to be necessary for scaling out to even 1/100th that load.17:12
sarnoldand their advice for limits is just plain wrong ;) hehe17:12
jsonperlwhich ones do you feel are wrong17:13
sarnoldjsonperl: you found out the other day that limits.conf is only used if the user's processes are started via the PAM stack somehow, which isn't terribly likely for production servers..17:14
sarnoldgranted, I think they knew that they didn't know what they were doing with the caveat about "look at the manpage" but not say -which- of the myriad manpages would be enlightening. :)17:15
jsonperlcorrect… so obviously that one was way off!17:15
sarnoldjsonperl: did you set your maximum socket buffers to 16MB as well?17:15
jsonperlyep :/17:15
sarnoldjsonperl: give this a skim and then consider dropping it :)  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_bloat17:16
jsonperlnet.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 4096 16777216; net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 4096 1677721617:16
jsonperlk17:16
jsonperlwhat do you think are more sain levels?17:16
jsonperlsane17:16
sarnold16M might be fair enough for locally connected gigabit or huge latency fat pipes (transatlantic? transpacific?)17:16
sarnoldjsonperl: probably 512K or so.17:17
jsonperlWe certainly get some pretty latent connections… but not THAT much data17:17
jsonperlmaybe 2k/s17:17
jsonperlso more like 4096 4096 52428817:18
jsonperlLooks like the default is 409687380629145617:20
sarnoldthat seems pretty sane. how many connections will you have? multiply that by the middle number and hopefully it'll still be reasonable..17:21
jsonperlWe're really not looking for more tha 400 or so concurrent per machine17:23
jsonperlAt that point we'll start to see cpus chuggin17:23
patdk-wkya, I only use 256 to 1meg on mine17:46
sarnoldpatdk-wk: maximum or default?17:46
patdk-wkmax17:47
sarnoldcool, thanks :)17:48
patdk-wknow, I did adjust my tc rules for outgoing though :)17:48
patdk-wkif more than 10 packets are waiting to go out, 11+ get dropped17:49
patdk-wkso doubt I ever hit that limit anymore :)17:49
sarnoldhaha17:49
patdk-wkya, used to really annoy me17:49
sarnoldtc has been on my todo list for a decade now..17:49
patdk-wkscp transfer done, and then wait 5min for the buffer to flish17:49
patdk-wkflush17:49
patdk-wkit's limited 10 per class17:50
patdk-wkalso figured out how to proplerly match my *prenat* ip's so they match correctly in outgoing17:51
patdk-wkthat really fixed my ruleset I had made17:51

sorenDoes anyone happen to know if restarting iscsid will cause existing connections to be dropped?20:46
patdk-wkdefently, why wouldn't it?20:47
pdevineusers love it when storage goes away20:48
patdk-wkwell, that shouldn't cause a user an issue20:48
sorenpatdk-wk: Because the iscsi daemon is just provides the control plane.20:48
patdk-wkas it should auto-reconnect20:48
sorenpatdk-wk: The kernel itself provides the data plane.20:49
streulmahello what is errors=remount-ro in /etc/fstab?20:49
sorenpatdk-wk: So it should necessarily cause the connections to be dropped.20:49
patdk-wksoren, never been my experience20:49
patdk-wkalways dropped when I restarted20:49
sorenpatdk-wk: Ok, thanks.20:49
patdk-wkhad to use the command thing to adjust it, if I didn't want to restart to drop it20:49
patdk-wkbut this might have changed20:49
sorenpatdk-wk: I'm not saying they won't, I'm just responding to your "why wouldn't it".20:50
patdk-wkconsidering the this is from 8.04 :)20:50
sorenstreulma: It tells the kernel what to do in case of errors.20:51
sorenstreulma: remount-ro means "remount the filesystem as read-only".20:51
streulmasoren: on boot or on running?20:51
patdk-wkas in, disk went missing, unable to read from disk, writes failing to disk, ...20:51
patdk-wkanytime20:51
patdk-wkif you yank the disk out, it will take 30seconds, then go ro mode20:52
sorenstreulma: Other options: "continue" (pretend like nothing happened) and "panic" (make the entire system fall over)20:52
sorenstreulma: Running.20:52
pdevinewhat is /var/lib/dpkg/cmethopt used for?20:52
pdevines/^/does anyone know/20:52
pdevineI'm going through debootstrap and was just curious20:53
sorenpdevine: IIRC, it's a config file for dselect.20:53
pdevineI love peeling the onion back on this stuff.  it's like an archeological expedition20:56
pdevineI discovered the other day that dpkg can't handle pre-depends correctly.. and today discovered a comment in debootstrap complaining about how dpkg doesn't handle pre-depends20:59
pdevineI wish I'd known that last week.  :-D21:00

nate15329my server gets stuck at here time to time any ideas? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5916517/23:00
mic_nate15329: did you do the usual suspect removal?23:04
mic_nate15329: aka noacpi acpi=off23:04
mic_?23:04
mic_also which kernel is there?23:04
nate153293.8.0-26-generic; i tried removing my pci-x sata card recently; but no change...weird part is that it hangs there even in recovery mode, but in normal mode this sometimes happens23:07
nate15329ill try the noacpi & acpi=off on next boot; i got it up temporary for a quick backup23:09
mic_another option would be to go for a different kernel23:10
mic_pick something from the lower shelf.23:10
nate15329tried that as well...the one below it23:10
mic_is it some ancient hardware?23:10
nate15329which i think is 3.8.0-18 or so23:10
mic_commodity or server?23:10
mic_nate15329: by lower shelf I was thinking like reaaaaally lower ;)23:10
nate15329server 13.04 hp dl385 g1...old hardware indeed23:11
mic_nate15329: 3.x & 2.6.x23:11
mic_G1?23:11
mic_a bit old, indeed.23:11
nate15329lol yep g123:11
mic_acpi and HPET if available23:12
mic_disable and check23:12
mic_and with such hardware - go lower with kernels23:12
mic_and as I wrote - seriously lower ;)23:12
nate15329does older kernels support sata II drives?23:12
mic_no problem23:13
nate15329ok how would i install 2.6.x kernels on 13.04 xD23:14
mic_I haven't tried 13.0423:15
mic_I did downgrade 12.04.02 once from 3.5 to 3.223:15
sarnoldnate15329: try booting a lucid livecd on it first or something similar, make sure it works at all..23:15
mic_yes, that's a sane suggstion23:16
mic_(sorry, I am up at work for 14 hours now ;)23:16
sarnoldoh that's trouble :)23:18
sarnold;q23:18
nate15329ah yeah i will...mostly i perfer running the latest though xD23:22
