[01:16] <MavKen> does anyone in here happen to have ubuntu on a droplet at digitalocean?
[01:40] <zul> med: yep
[02:06] <zul> jamespage:  this is the fix: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6229273/
[04:40] <Armegeden> syntax question: i have ubuntu server and i'm trying to run dynamips in the background with: sudo ./dynamips-0.2.8-RC3-community-x86_64.bin -H 7200 & -----yet when i hit "enter" again after launching it, it closes/stops.
[10:48] <jamespage> zul: https://code.launchpad.net/~james-page/nova/havana-rc2/+merge/190797 ready for review; in the interests of speed and due to the fact we already discussed I'll upload in a bit anyway

[12:09] <zul> jamespage:  that patch is overkill but meh
[13:13] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[13:15] <ShapeShifter499> maybe I have a bad idea of computer clustering...  I was wondering if it's possible to take my two old PCs and connect them together via a network and send things to them as a cluster for processing
[13:17] <ShapeShifter499> I'm thinking this would only work for stuff like compiling a program or running a algorithm. But could I use it to speed up other tasks like web browsing and gaming?
[13:48] <TimR> Hey Guys can anybody tell me the best way to add subdomain onto my ubuntu server?
[13:48] <hitsujiTMO> timR: subdomain for what service exactly?
[13:49] <TimR> what you mean what service
[13:49] <TimR> its under apache
[13:49] <hitsujiTMO> apache service then :P
[13:50] <TimR> ok how do I do it because I forgot how to do it
[13:50] <hitsujiTMO> you need to create a vitual host for it
[13:50] <TimR> ok
[13:50] <TimR> im asking how to do that
[13:50] <hitsujiTMO> 2 secs
[13:53] <hitsujiTMO> ok, in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default   is an example virtual host script   .... i would make a copy of that to work with and name it as your domain:  subdomain.domain.com
[13:53] <TimR> ok its past 2secs lol
[13:54] <TimR> ok but shouldnt be there like an serveralias?
[13:54] <hitsujiTMO> edit it to what settings you want and the ServerName directive is used to specify the subdomain you want it to respond too
[13:55] <hitsujiTMO> if you want it to respond to more than 1 domain use ServerAlias to specify the rest.
[13:55] <TimR> ok
[13:58] <TimR> thanks hitsujiTMO that worked
[15:17] <dustinspringman> I am having to login and manually do an "ip route flush cache" to restore routes after they become unavailable (such as ISP failing, etc).. This just recently started happening and is a terrible annoyance.. what could I research to find a solution? the results from google for everything I've typed are all over the place..
[15:35] <wiehan> Ubuntu server 12.04.3 After some update (unsure what packages) My server is running at a very high load, but cpu usage seems low (99% idle). Everything is slow, I really need some help
[15:40] <dustinspringman> yikes, this channel is soooo dead...
[16:08] <pmatulis_> more saucy updates...
[17:01] <wiehan> I have a headless ubuntu 12.04.3 server box. After an update, everything slowed down.. painfully slow - I can barely ssh. The system load is high! But CPU usage is low. I do not know how to trace the cause for this and fix this!?
[17:02] <andol> wiehan: iowait?
[17:04] <wiehan> andol I can't even install new packages (I presume iowait needs to be installed) - everything is too slow..
[17:06] <ikonia> wiehan: what runs on the system ? web server ? database ? file server ? etc ?
[17:06] <andol> wiehan: Nah, was refering to the concept of the system be slow due to it waiting for i/o response, i.e high load on the hard drive.
[17:07] <andol> wiehan: You can use top and see what it shows you for value for wa
[17:08] <wiehan> ikonia, plex, deluge, samba
[17:08] <andol> (but in case you do get the chance to install software, iotop might be of extra interest.)
[17:08] <ikonia> wiehan: is this on the public internet, (I assume it is if your torrenting)
[17:09] <ikonia> wiehan: an easy solution would be to shutdown all services while you do an analysis
[17:09] <ikonia> I suspect deluge is the problem, but do an investiation
[17:10] <wiehan> ikonia, andol does this help you? http://bayimg.com/DaaOpAafO
[17:11] <ikonia> well, init isn't very happy
[17:11] <ikonia> wiehan: I suspect if you kill deluge it will all spring to life
[17:12] <wiehan> lemme see
[17:12] <andol> wiehan: Yeah, you seem to be running rather high i/o wise, and ikonia might very well be right in regards to deluge.
[17:13] <wiehan> andol, ikonia well that fixed it.. but, it will keep happening everytime I restart. Guess I'll have to remove deluged
[17:14] <ikonia> wiehan: just control it more/bettter
[17:14] <ikonia> wiehan: limit it's resources, put it on a disk / controller thats not in use, etc etc etc
[17:14] <ikonia> wiehan: apply a little bit of thought and you'll probably be fine
[17:15] <wiehan> ikonia, wish I new how ;)
[17:15] <wiehan> *knew
[17:15] <ikonia> wiehan: well, all you need to do is ask and talk to people about it
[17:15] <ikonia> wiehan: no point not using something because you're too scared to ask for advice
[17:16] <wiehan> ikonia, let me ask it this way: what would be the best torrening app for a headless server that could be installed and set up via ssh?
[17:17] <ikonia> wiehan: I don't see a problem with deluge
[17:29] <wiehan> ikonia, I killed deluged - but it still isn't nice
[17:29] <ikonia> wiehan: reboot your machine again, init certainly doens't look "good"
[17:29] <ikonia> lets see if the problem persists
[17:30] <wiehan>     1 root      20   0 24336 2348 1372 S    0  0.0   0:00.46 init
[17:30] <wiehan> ikonia, I already restarted, killed deluged and it still isn't looking good - I can't even remove deluge cause everything is too slow
[17:31] <ikonia> wiehan: can you type "uptime" and post the output to the channel please.
[17:31] <wiehan> 19:31:36 up 12 min,  3 users,  load average: 6.09, 5.93, 3.32
[17:32] <ikonia> ok, so thats not through the roof
[17:32] <ikonia> can you post the output of the command "free"
[17:32] <ikonia> free -m
[17:32] <wiehan> ikonia, but I can't "do" anything on the system - it used to be blasing fast
[17:32] <ikonia> well, we can work it through,
[17:33] <ikonia> can you get the ouptut of free -m please

[17:34] <noobster> Can anyone help me with a NFS issue I am having with 2x 12.04 installs? or point me in the right direction?
[17:35] <ikonia> wiehan: ok, so it's not shy on ram, which goes back to what andol was suggesting earlier about io
[17:35] <hitsujiTMO_> noobster can you please explain the problem
[17:35] <noobster> I am having a strange issue recently with NFS and I am not sure what has chaged or what I am doing wrong. I have used NFS for many years now and have found it to be faster the iscsi.
[17:35] <ikonia> can we have a look at your currnet "top" output please.
[17:35] <noobster> Recently I have had NFS freeze on me for minutes at a time and something never come back. I am not sure if its because networking has become faster or I have started using it wrong.
[17:36] <noobster> My issue is I have a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server running in ESXi with 2x2TB drives RDM mapped to /home/shares. I installed nfs-server and am sharing /home/shares/www with a Ubuntu 12.04 server setup to be a exclusive web server that a developer outside our company can access remotely to build a custom server. I have added the NFS mount to fstab and the server boot fine with jumbo frames enabled
[17:36] <noobster> Everything looks good until I start to write files to the NFS mount. It freezes for minutes at a time and then comes back.
[17:36] <noobster> My /etc/exports file has... /home/windows/shares/www 192.168.0.72(rw,async,no_root_squash)
[17:37] <noobster> fstab on svr02
[17:37] <noobster> 	svr01:/home/windows/shares/www /home/shares/www nfs nobootwait,rw,async,_netdev,auto,tcp,timeo=14,intr,addr=192.168.0.70 0 0
[17:39] <noobster> I dont see any hints in the log files
[17:40] <hitsujiTMO_> was there any changes at all before the intermittent failures began?
[17:41] <noobster> I just start to scp files to it or even if I cp files from /var/www to /home/shares/www
[17:41] <noobster> it runs find for a small time then freezes for a long time
[17:42] <noobster> I can still be ssh into the box but can not runn df or du untill it comes back
[17:43] <noobster> rsync will just freeze in the middle of moving files, but none of the files are over 700MB
[17:43] <noobster> svr01 has smb fileshares and they stay online and useable during this NFS freeze
[17:43] <hitsujiTMO_> well it does sound like a connectivity issue... could there be an issue with the routers/switch inbetween?
[17:44] <hitsujiTMO_> ahh kk
[17:44] <noobster> nope they are both in the same ESXi box
[17:44] <noobster> all other services stay online
[17:45] <noobster> do my export and mount options look compatible?
[17:45] <hitsujiTMO_> i would try and cut down some of the options in fstab, you've quite a few that seem excessive
[17:45] <hitsujiTMO_> svr01:/home/windows/shares/www /home/shares/www nfs rw,proto=tcp,addr=192.168.0.70 0 0
[17:46] <noobster> ok brb
[17:47] <noobster> i should still use nobootwait incase t boots with out the NFS server up right
[17:49] <hitsujiTMO_> yes
[17:54] <hitsujiTMO_> also maybe try: showmount -e srv01    from another machine during the freeze to see if there's any response
[17:54] <noobster> nope same thing, I have a file in /var/www that has allot of pic that is 6GB total. I just tried to rsync that folder to /home/shares/www
[17:55] <hitsujiTMO_> have you modified any other configs besides /etc/exports ?
[17:55] <noobster> Export list for svr01:
[17:55] <noobster> /home/windows/shares/www 192.168.0.72
[17:55] <noobster> from both servers
[17:56] <hitsujiTMO_> did it respond during the freeze tho?
[17:56] <noobster> yes
[17:56] <noobster> not that I know of, this server has LAMP, jumbo frames & static IP... not much else yet
[17:58] <noobster> ssh with another term and if I run df it just sits there
[18:00] <noobster> ok after 95 sec df finally runs. Shows the NFS mount, but rsync has not resumed its transfer yet
[18:01] <hitsujiTMO_> i think this one is beyond my knowledge i'm afraid ... it is interesting that showmount -e srv01 is responding during the freeze tho, but theres about 4 services involved in nfs so i'm not sure if that response is coming from the nfs core service
[18:04] <noobster> ok syslof is showing errors.. I wil pastebin.. brb
[18:05] <noobster> lol syslog.. fat fingers
[18:05] <noobster> http://pastebin.com/70S1uW9e
[18:21] <noobster> hitsujiTMO_: does this look like what I need? I have never applied a kernel patch before, thoughts?
[18:21] <noobster> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15578
[18:22] <noobster> sorry it removed the link I think.. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15578
[18:22] <hitsujiTMO_> what kernel are you on?
[18:23] <noobster> 3.2.0-54-generic x64
[18:23] <noobster> bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15578
[18:23] <noobster> looks allot like my issue
[18:24] <hitsujiTMO_> njah thats way too old to be related
[18:37] <noobster> on the duplicate bug, it has the exact same issue I am having..  bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15552
[18:53] <hitsujiTMO_> noobster ... all you can do if thats the case is file a bug report and see what happens

[20:17] <viper2k> hi
[20:19] <viper2k> I installed on ubuntu 12.04 samba4 pdc. When I want access to the samba pdc I have to add the ip to the dns entires of the ip configuration of windows. After I have done that, I have no access to the internet from this pc, only when I remove this entrie
[20:28] <ikonia> viper2k: what are you using as a resolver ?
[20:29] <viper2k> you mean /etc/resolv.conf?
[20:30] <ikonia> no, I mean what service is acting as your dns resolver ?
[20:33] <viper2k> I don't know. I have a router with the ip 10.0.0.1 the samba pdc (ubuntu) 10.0.0.100
[20:40] <viper2k> what do I have to do?
[20:49] <tasslehoff> I tried setting "UseDNS no" in my sshd_config, and can't login to my server anymore. Anything to do besides connecting keyboard and monitor?
[21:31] <crimsonmane> Hello. I'm running ubuntu-server LTS on a headless (no monitor) pc. I have a couple questions that are not covered in the guide. First, do daemons run on boot, prior to logging in? Second, how do I add a custom program to load at boot? Note: specifically I'd like the programs to load at boot, not at login. Thanks for reading.
[21:33] <hitsujiTMO> crimsonmane: daemons will run depending on their upstart configuration (e.g., on boot, on interface up, after another service has run, etc)
[21:33] <hitsujiTMO> !upstart | crimsonmane
[21:34] <crimsonmane> Many thanks. I'll give that a read.
[21:39] <crimsonmane> is upstart already included in ubuntu-server LTS or will I have to get it?
[21:44] <hitsujiTMO> its all part of it
[21:45] <hitsujiTMO> all the service running (networking etc) are all running on upstart
[21:46] <crimsonmane> I've typed 'man upstart' and read the page, but do not see how to "use" it.
[21:48] <crimsonmane> Oh, I see on the webpage to make files at /etc/init
[21:56] <hitsujiTMO> crimsonmane: its a little confusing at first but its quite easy once you get used to it
[21:58] <crimsonmane> hitsujiTMO: as most things go. I actually just have a one-line command to run supybot on system boot. i'm looking at the existing files at /etc/init and don't yet know how to proceed. waiting for the eureka moment.
[21:59] <hitsujiTMO> crimson do you want it to run at boot, or after network is up or after a specific service is up?
[21:59] <hitsujiTMO> you can be quite specific with upstart
[22:00] <crimsonmane> it would make sense for it to run after networking is established, sure. the command would be "supybot -d /home/user/supybot/filename.conf"
[22:04] <crimsonmane> I do not see on the upstart webpage any comprehensive list of commands, such as when to start. i see in ssh.conf as an example where it says "start on filesystem" and wonder what other "start on" options there are.
[22:05] <crimsonmane> and the upstart cookbook hasn't been created yet
[22:06] <crimsonmane> i am afk until further notice. children need attention.
[22:06] <hitsujiTMO> crimsonmane: this should work i think: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6233490/
[22:09] <hitsujiTMO> crimsonmane: sorry, should be http://paste.ubuntu.com/6233498/   made a slight mistake
[22:37] <noobster> Hi all! I am having a issue on a new install of 12.04 server x64 trying to mount a NFS mount from another 12.04 server x64. The mount in fstab mounts with no errors, but when I try to copy data onto it it freezes?? I know the nfs-server is running fine because I have a mount in ESXi5 for ISO and caqn copy a 700MB 12.04 iso to that datastore in 10 sec. Any thought on howto troubleshoot?
[22:40] <noobster> here is the syslog error... http://pastebin.com/upF3TCHd
[22:41] <noobster> 3.2.0-54-generic x64
[22:54] <Patrickdk> all that says is, nfs is really really slow
[22:57] <adam_g> jamespage, a couple of minor charm fixes for strange issues i hit related to running with curtin: Pushed to helpers and nova-compute a fix to ensure headers get insatlled and DKMS package.  filed https://code.launchpad.net/~gandelman-a/charms/precise/quantum-gateway/headers_fix/+merge/190844 to fix issues described there. would appreciate your +1 on the quantum merge
[23:03] <lifeless> quantum ? :P
[23:06] <adam_g> doh
[23:06] <adam_g> sue me!
[23:08] <noobster> Patrickdk: what can be done? I am building a new VM on 12.04 svr x64 now to see if I get the same issue. If no then I will just delete the troubled VM, but if yes then I will need to fix this issue. It doesn't have to be 70-90MBps like ESXi but it needs to be at least 5...
[23:27] <crimsonmane> hitsujiTMO: thank you for the script. i've made /etc/init/supybot.conf and pasted the code, rebooted, and it does not start the supybot daemon (confirmed with ps -e | grep supy)
[23:34] <James_Epp> Hey guys. I'm in the process of trying to boot the ubuntu live discs over a network using nfs-kernel-server. Under my /etc/exports I have the following, however when clients boot they continue to give the error message "mount: Protocol not supported". What should I troubleshoot? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6233647/
[23:35] <hitsujiTMO> crimsonmane: you went with the second paste i gave you?
[23:36] <crimsonmane> yes sir
[23:37] <hitsujiTMO> what is the primary interface? eth0?
[23:38] <crimsonmane> yes
[23:39] <crimsonmane> sry just watched an epic NE vs NO game. killer winning touchdown couldn't have been any more perfect.
[23:45] <hitsujiTMO> crimsonmane: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6233796/
[23:48] <hitsujiTMO> crimsonmane: i made the change so it loads when the interface goes up instead, incase supybot was exiting as networking may not have brought the interface up in time for the bo
[23:48] <hitsujiTMO> bot to kick in
[23:48] <crimsonmane> hitsujiTMO: it has not worked
[23:50] <hitsujiTMO> crimsonmane: can you verify that it is at least being called by replacing "supybot -d /home/user/supybot/filename.conf" with something like "echo 'foo' > /home/user/bar"
[23:51] <hitsujiTMO> obviously replacing user with your actual username
[23:51] <crimsonmane> the username is actually user
[23:51] <crimsonmane> :)
[23:51] <hitsujiTMO> ah lol
[23:52] <hitsujiTMO> actually,
[23:52] <hitsujiTMO> modify it to give the full path of supybot executable
[23:52] <hitsujiTMO> thats prob the problem
[23:53] <crimsonmane> oh. because supybot is not in PATH
[23:53] <crimsonmane> however, you asked me to change it so on startup it executes "'foo' > /home/user/bar" and it did not create the file bar
[23:54] <hitsujiTMO> you included echo?
[23:54] <crimsonmane> pre-start exec echo 'foo' /home/user/bar
[23:54] <crimsonmane> commented out the supybot line
[23:55] <hitsujiTMO> pre-start exec echo 'foo' > /home/user/bar
[23:55] <crimsonmane> oh dear. thanks.
[23:55] <hitsujiTMO> anyhow, just go ahead with giving the fullpath to supybot ... i'm positive that was the problem
[23:57] <crimsonmane> bar now exists. ok i'll change to include full path
[23:57] <crimsonmane> unfortunately "locate supybot" does not return any results... programs get installed where?
[23:57] <crimsonmane> something/bin
[23:58] <hitsujiTMO> /usr/bin   is most likely
