[08:51] please open this url http://paste.ubuntu.com/5992028/ [08:51] ok, so you have a java application that's using up all your CPU time [08:51] what java stuff are you running? [08:51] well, most of it. [08:52] running a minecraft server? ;) [08:53] jdk1.7 [08:53] yeah what you running on the server that uses the jdk? [08:53] you are running everything as root :-| [08:53] (not the actual problem but an observation anyway) [08:54] mungbean: it *is* an actual problem, usually [08:54] it's a security problem at least. [08:54] especially with Java's notable insecurities [08:54] a problem , but not *the* problem in hand [08:54] well that's a side note, lets see if we can help his java issue ;) [08:54] present running applications liferaytomcat, mysql, apache,mod_jk [08:55] ps -ef | grep 2954 [08:55] do any of them use java? [08:55] well if you don't run it as root, it's also easier to set limits (CPU usage limits, memory limits, etc.) :) [08:55] rather large mem too, must be tomcat [08:56] *le shuddre* [08:56] ps -ef will tell yout he parent process and the command line too [08:56] mungbean: oh, I've always used "ps faux" for that :) [08:56] or "ps fax" if I don't care about usernames [08:56] or ps -efl [08:57] # ps -ef | grep 2954 using root 28969 28919 0 14:26 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto 2954 [08:58] that's it? [08:58] seems like the java process has stopped or respawned with new process id [08:58] have you checked its logfiles? [08:58] top will tell you again [08:59] it could be in a start-crash-restart-loop [09:00] java process stop my tomcat server also stop [09:00] dvrr: please check its logfile, it might contain hints about what's wrong. [09:01] which log files tomcat or system logs [09:01] both, but start with tomcat logs. [09:02] please wait i will check log files [09:03] Please hold the line, your call is important to us [09:03] do-do-do-doooo-do-do-doooo [09:03] The number you are calling knows you are waiting...

[09:12] only one in the office today. this has been an unsatisfying week [09:12] Loads of people are on leave, so not a lot is getting done. [09:14] i hate turning up when there's nothing to do. i could work at home instead [09:14] hmm somebody is coming [09:15] quick, hide the linux magazines! ;) [09:16] eww, why are the pages all sticky [09:17] * dwatkins is reminded of Doctor Doolittle and the map book which the monkey filled with jam to make sure they went where he wanted them to go [09:21] mungbean: ps -efl http://paste.ubuntu.com/5992104/ [09:22] dvrr: seems to be truncated [09:22] don't see most of the processes from top [09:25] i am running only three app but it's taking 100 present & my RAM 16 gb [09:25] how to fix this problem [09:26] I think you need to go do some research via google. [09:26] * popey slaps MooDoo [09:27] * MooDoo sits in the corner and sulks [09:27] serverfault then? [09:27] dvrr: if java is eating lots of cpu then chances are the java application you're running is making it do that [09:27] is there nothing useful in the log files? does the problem occurr after a reboot as well? [09:28] dvrr: and that application (tomcat?) should be the first thing to examine [09:28] as dwatkins says, log files for tomcat may reveal insights [09:28] we didn't see the whole process list [09:28] indeed [09:28] -!- MooDoo [~paulmello@unaffiliated/moodoo] has left #ubuntu-uk [RAGEPART!] === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [09:31] how to see java howmuch cpu taking [09:33] This may help.. http://rajikak.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/debugging-high-cpu-consumption-java.html [09:33] thank you [09:42] anyone use nuvola music player? [09:50] Morning all [10:11] Morning davmor2 [10:44] can't wait for lunch,,, [10:44] *... [10:47] Then don't [10:47] Go go go [10:56] wonder what the chacnes that sainsburys have put the ready meal i want on the shelves by now [10:56] shelf was bare at 9;30 [11:02] version control in owncloud works pretty smooth [11:08] hi guys. i'm trying to rtp stream audio from my mic on my home laptop to vlc locally [11:09] my i'm not hearing anything yet [11:09] i run avconv -f alsa -i hw:0,0 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 32k -ac 1 -re -f rtp rtp://192.168.7.11:1234 [11:09] the comand line shows stuff happening, ffmpeg(avconv) seems happy [11:10] does recording it to a file work? [11:10] (and then playing back later) [11:10] is the mic muted? [11:10] or low-volumed [11:10] i port forward with ssh so localhost:1234 maps to 192.168.7.11:1234 and use vlc localy [11:10] emm, that's a good idea, i'll try that [11:10] need to make ffmpeg record to a file for a minute and then transfer the file. [11:11] alsamixer on the command line seems to be ok, i turned capture of the mic up real high [11:11] and mic boost, but not getting even background noise outa vlc locally. [11:11] popey: java run different process id's in top command which one i have to kill please open this url http://paste.ubuntu.com/5992304/ [11:12] i have no idea dvrr [11:12] please tel me [11:14] dvrr: i dont know [11:18] awsome... audio to mp3 worked! [11:18] now, just to figure out why hte stream doesn't [11:18] are you snooping on somebody NET||abuse :P [11:18] on my doggies [11:18] snuffle snuffle chomp slurp woof [11:19] well, i have a friends dog over and they were curious if he would bark if he had company as he apparently does on his own [11:19] so i want to turn on audio and just have it in the background to get a sense of how much noise he makes when in company of my dog [11:19] I have motion seeing what they get up to, and they're rolling around every few minutes play fighting [11:25] I might be mis understanding the -f rtp rtp://x.x.x.:1234 bit,, the machine which is hosting the mic and webcam, do i put it's ip and a port for it to listen on in that address? [11:26] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14298400/using-avconv-to-stream-live-audio-from-in-line-alsa-hw0-0-over-wireless-acces [11:27] is it over WAN or same lan? [11:27] ahh, hmm , i'm sshing in from office [11:27] so from office i do ssh -L 1234:ipofwebcambox:1234 [11:27] then point my vlc player at office laptop localhost:1234 [11:28] so i don't want to do that as the rtp stream is a directed stream, not a server waiting for me to just start listening to the stream [11:28] is that right? [11:28] :-S dunno [11:32] hmm, tried directing the rtp://x.x.x to the ip of the box i'm ssh'ing to, then -L 1234:127.0.0.1:1234 then vlc on office laptop i'm sshing in from opening localhost:1234 [11:32] still no audio [11:33] Forgive me if I sound stupid. Currently running Dell XPS 13 DevEd with stock kernel (3.2.0-52) and having terrible wifi issues. Forums suggest "apt-get install linux-backports-modules-cw-3.8-precise-generic". Can someone confirm that this will just add latest wifi drivers to my current kernel? I don't want to break all the other nice things about this laptop! [11:41] also, if I want to back out of the change, can I just "apt-get remove linux-backports...." ? [11:47] anyone here know how Postfix deals with SQL? [11:48] I have an SQL query (absolutely horrible) but I'm not sure how the query knows which email is being used... [11:51] isleofmandan: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/canonical_kernel_team/precise/main/base/linux-backports-modules-cw-3.8-precise-generic sys it's an empty package :-| [11:52] http://pastebin.com/Dihg66Wk [11:52] contents of the deb file === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch [12:21] Anyone fancy answering a simple Java question? I have a string. If that string does not have a leading zero I want to add one. It may be of variable length? [12:21] TheOpenSourcerer: Strings in Java are immutable, you'll have to create a new instance (of type String ;)) and return that [12:22] TheOpenSourcerer: you might want to look at the "StringBuilder" class [12:22] TheOpenSourcerer: StringBuilder MyStringBuilder = new StringBuilder("World!"); [12:22] MyStringBuilder.Insert(0,"Hello "); // Hello World! [12:22] String.format() seems to be the cookie but I can't get the syntax. [12:23] TheOpenSourcerer: String result = String.format("The format method is %s!", "great"); [12:23] So, can I test for a leading zero and add one then? [12:26] TheOpenSourcerer: it sounds like you have a number instead of a string?> [12:26] TheOpenSourcerer: you can say: [12:28] String result; if (!original.startsWith('0')) { result = String.format("0%s", original); } else { result = original; } [12:28] or something similar [12:31] Thanks: !row12.Office_Phone.startsWith("0") ? "0" + row12.Office_Phone : row12.Office_Phone [12:35] that works? [12:36] <-- not a professional java wrangler ;) [12:36] you could remove the double negative there [12:37] http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171104024854 has gone on sale [12:37] £60?! [12:38] specs?

[12:38] sounds similar to my htc desire [12:39] mungbean: behind the "Specifications" link on the ebay page [12:39] well that's certainly a bit more affordable than the edge :) [12:39] 137 sold [12:39] cheers MartijnVdS missed that bit [12:40] worse display than htc [12:40] http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire-3077.php [12:42] it is a stupidly cheap phone though [12:43] but i wonder how that display looks [12:43] mungbean: probably similar to most previous-era phones [12:43] its essentially a 4yr old phone [12:44] its the htc g1 [12:45] My girlfriend needs a new phone, but I'm not sure how beta the OS is [12:45] you could probably put CM on it? [12:45] which one of you just bought one :P [12:46] as the football season is about to start, have a little lol at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MusyO7J2inM [12:47] it looks like the zte san francisco phone which was £99 last year [12:47] mungbean: Thanks. I assume there's no point installing empty packages! [12:47] isleofmandan: there could be [12:47] might check for presence of package and do something else [12:47] i'd go for it [12:47] and reboot [12:48] check what dmesg says before and after [12:48] mungbean: OK. I'll give it a shot. There's a user in Dell support forums who claims it has fixed things for him. [12:48] i saw that [12:48] I hope it does. Droppy-out wireless on a machine without an Ethernet port is very annoying :) [12:51] dependecy hell ensues... Oh well.

[13:14] yeah, bummer [13:14] i forgot other phone OS were available [13:14] i put a proxy between my phone and giffgaff [13:15] i ass u med there was an app for your legacy platform [13:15] i was looking at the traffic to see what it did [13:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5992675/ [13:17] "Remember you've got time until midnight on the 12 JUNE 2013 to change your decision if you need to." [13:17] giffgaff page after i selected for chasback [13:19] unsure if i have achieved anything today [13:19] summer sucks [13:20] mungbean: You've helped me out :) [13:20] unsuccessfully so far... [13:21] did you add the depends package to the isntall line? [13:21] isleofmandan: if you try and install linux-backports-modules-cw-3.8-3.2.0-52-generic what error do you get then? [13:21] mungbean: Well, Dell's own support only seems of swapping Intel cards for Atheros ones, or vice versa without acutally solving anything, so don't beat yourself up! ;) [13:22] i get cc'd on the weirdest unconnected emails [13:23] mungbean: are you a manager? ;) [13:23] bank -> scott cc mungbean blah blah bank acount [13:23] publisher -> author cc mungbean "Would you do me a favor and send the latest interior of the Berger book as well as the cover file to Barbara, but before you do, can you mark across the cover as well as the first page of the interior "Uncorrected Proof"--this way when Barbara sends it to people it will be clear that this is not the final version?" [13:23] this is my personal gmail account [13:23] its like a crossed line [13:23] on average a few per week [13:24] davmor2: Note, selecting 'linux-backports-modules-cw-3.8-3.2.0-52-generic' for regex 'linux-backports-modules-cw-3.8-3.2.0-52' [13:24] E: Unable to locate package generic [13:25] isleofmandan: report a bug, and have a chat about the bug on #ubuntu-kernel [13:25] try just linux-backports-modules-cw [13:25] nah [13:25] mungbean: unable to locate... etc [13:26] sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-cw-3.8-precise-generic-pae [13:27] hmm they seem to be 32 bit versions [13:27] http://pastebin.com/tympCx67 [13:28] what results do you get for that command? [13:28] davmor2: I'm not sure exactly what bug to report really. All a bit complex. There are already a few bug reports about XPS13 wirless. It doesn't help that Dell has shipped more recent machines like mine with a different card. Wifi still drops, but it appears to be for different reasons to the Intel cards. [13:29] "The energy giant today revealed it would now only ring those households that "have a relationship" with the business, or ones that have agreed to call, such as by ticking a box on an internet comparison site." cheeky. [13:29] gocompare etc don't make it easy to unselect the box [13:29] isleofmandan: one would be that you have naff wifi, the second would be that you can't install linux-backports-modules-cw it is blocked, that is the bit that you can approach the kernel guys about it maybe that it is just a misconfigured module. [13:31] mungbean: linux-backports-modules-cw-3.8-precise-generic-pae:i386 : Depends: linux-backports-modules-cw-3.8-3.2.0-52-generic-pae:i386 but it is not installable [13:31] do you have backports enabled?

[13:33] let me check... [13:34] * mungbean checks too [13:34] im on precise too [13:34] ah, on 3.2.0.51 though [13:34] i think thats your probs [13:35] Unsupported Updates (precise-backports) is ticked [13:35] where did the .52 kernel come from? [13:36] i'm not offered that one [13:36] It shipped with the machine. I think It's tweaked by Dell to make sure things like screen brightness, volume controls etc work... [13:36] the error message is real [13:37] isleofmandan: just catching up [13:37] you could possibly kludge by downloading the debs required for the .51 kernel , since there are just "empty" [13:37] you running 12.04 on an xps 13? [13:37] dpkg --contents shows whats in a deb [13:38] seeing dodgy wireless? [13:38] there is a fix [13:38] I'm guessing now though, TBH ;) [13:38] I'm back.. (yup, wifi again!) [13:38] linux-generic-lts-quantal is the kernel you want on 12.04 [13:38] apt-get install that [13:39] is that 3.5 or 3.8 popey? [13:39] 3.5 [13:39] 3.8 is raring [13:39] linux-generic-lts-raring [13:41] Is there an IRC command that allows me to catch up last few mins? I've missed a few lines while wifi dropped, it seems! [13:41] isleofmandan: just sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal [13:41] that'll fix your wifi [13:42] then you can catch up with the irc logs on the web [13:42] forums are annoying for this reason [13:42] popey: Thanks. Will it leave hotkeys, suspend, hibernate and all that working too? [13:42] out of date info sends you down rabbit holes [13:42] i believe so [13:42] indeed, forums suck [13:42] OK. here goes :) [13:42] you'll still be able to choose the old kernel at boot time just in case [13:43] 3.5 fixed an annoying GPU lockup for me [13:43] eventually made it back into 3.2 though [13:44] popey: I have the newer Atheros Killer card rather than the Intel one, if that matters? [13:44] nope [13:44] good :) Installing now [13:44] stop asking questions and install it ☻ [13:45] go down the road to sadbfl and ask him :P [13:45] heh [13:45] It's tempting... Although I never get invited to his BBQs [13:45] how big is IOM? [13:45] diameter? === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g [13:46] about 13 miles wide [13:46] the IOM irc must be pumping. [13:46] so the size of london [13:46] I've been trying to start IoMLUG for years... [13:46] 80,000 people here [13:46] all LUG members? [13:46] so smaller than London that way! [13:46] i wonder if london could sink it [13:46] if all the people came and jumped on it [13:47] mungbean :) [13:47] maybe its like the floating island in life of pi [13:47] isleofmandan: were you born there or did you move there? [13:47] popey: Moved here in 2007 [13:47] everyone must be either rich, an inbred or motorbike fan? [13:48] or all three? [13:48] or migrant [13:48] Install done. I assume it's sudo reboot time now? [13:49] DO IT [13:49] * isleofmandan hopes shiny new laptop isn't a doorstop... [13:49] back soon [13:49] KABOOM! [13:49] KERPOW [13:49] quick, everyone hide [13:49] whats that smoke coming from yonder out North west [13:50] speak ukrainian [13:50] or upside down [13:50] This thing is fast :) [13:50] did you google that XPS issue or already know? [13:50] ʞɹoʍ ʇı pıp 'uɐpuɐɯɟoǝlsı ıɥ [13:50] i knew [13:50] maybe askubuntu might like to know [13:51] if it works [13:51] My old PC reboot takes about 5 minutes.. [13:51] Anyway, how do I double check I'm using new kernel.. uname -a ? [13:51] ya [13:51] yep [13:51] 3.5 :) [13:51] * isleofmandan goes to press all the buttons... [13:52] Vol, keyboard backlight, screen brightness all good [13:52] *Thanks Alan* :) [13:52] np [13:53] Have spent weeks researching via forums. [13:53] cant help but think this should be written down somewhere... [13:53] I'll create a Dell account just so I can update the Dell support forum and save others the hassle I've had [13:53] yeah, i found that page too [13:54] mungbean: Thanks to you too, of course [13:54] couldn't find any askubuntu questions about it [13:54] np. still too early to go home though :( [13:55] gonna have to tell my boss i've finished all the work , please sir can i have some more [13:59] can you do some of mine? [13:59] hmmm [14:00] my boss just went home early, so I can't really complain [14:00] my boss on hols [14:00] whole company is on hols [14:00] literally nothing to do [14:00] sometimes that makes matters worse [14:00] like when you have to escalate stuff [14:01] its a new team so not much historical issues to resolve [14:01] usually in summer i used to fixed niggling old problems and replace crappy kit [14:01] do fw upgrades [14:15] I don't tend to get any less busy at times like this, as the number of calls being reduced is balanced out by all the people with kids being on holiday a lot. [14:16] calls, e-mails, chats, facebook posts, tweets etc. - we get cases from a variety of sources. [14:27] mungbean: I've posted a 'question' on askubuntu, which also contains the answer. Are there any other popular forums I should visit to save people scratching their heads? [14:33] doo de doo [14:33] gtav preordered \o/ [14:35] \o/ [14:35] i still resent only being able to get it on the current gen [14:35] but i'm not going to wait until maybe new year for the new consoles to settle down before *Maybe* being able to buy a copy [14:40] isleofmandan: askubuntu is where i'd hope to find good info, so should be sufficient [14:47] anyone know about sun grid engine?
