[01:16] does anyone in here happen to have ubuntu on a droplet at digitalocean? [01:40] med: yep [02:06] jamespage: this is the fix: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6229273/ === freeflying is now known as freeflying_away [04:40] 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. === Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-afk === Ursinha-afk is now known as Ursinha === [Batou] is now known as HisaoNakai === lau_ is now known as lau [10:48] 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 [11:39] jamespage: er +1 ;) === freeflying_away is now known as freeflying [12:04] zul, ta :-) [12:09] jamespage: that patch is overkill but meh [13:13] hi [13:15] 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] 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] Hey Guys can anybody tell me the best way to add subdomain onto my ubuntu server? [13:48] timR: subdomain for what service exactly? [13:49] what you mean what service [13:49] its under apache [13:49] apache service then :P [13:50] ok how do I do it because I forgot how to do it [13:50] you need to create a vitual host for it [13:50] ok [13:50] im asking how to do that [13:50] 2 secs [13:53] 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] ok its past 2secs lol [13:54] ok but shouldnt be there like an serveralias? [13:54] 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] if you want it to respond to more than 1 domain use ServerAlias to specify the rest. [13:55] ok [13:58] thanks hitsujiTMO that worked === freeflying is now known as freeflying_away === hitsujiTMO_ is now known as hitsujiTMO [15:17] 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] 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] yikes, this channel is soooo dead... === TDog_ is now known as TDog [16:08] more saucy updates... [17:01] 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] wiehan: iowait? [17:04] andol I can't even install new packages (I presume iowait needs to be installed) - everything is too slow.. [17:06] wiehan: what runs on the system ? web server ? database ? file server ? etc ? [17:06] 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] wiehan: You can use top and see what it shows you for value for wa [17:08] ikonia, plex, deluge, samba [17:08] (but in case you do get the chance to install software, iotop might be of extra interest.) [17:08] wiehan: is this on the public internet, (I assume it is if your torrenting) [17:09] wiehan: an easy solution would be to shutdown all services while you do an analysis [17:09] I suspect deluge is the problem, but do an investiation [17:10] ikonia, andol does this help you? http://bayimg.com/DaaOpAafO [17:11] well, init isn't very happy [17:11] wiehan: I suspect if you kill deluge it will all spring to life [17:12] lemme see [17:12] 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] andol, ikonia well that fixed it.. but, it will keep happening everytime I restart. Guess I'll have to remove deluged [17:14] wiehan: just control it more/bettter [17:14] wiehan: limit it's resources, put it on a disk / controller thats not in use, etc etc etc [17:14] wiehan: apply a little bit of thought and you'll probably be fine [17:15] ikonia, wish I new how ;) [17:15] *knew [17:15] wiehan: well, all you need to do is ask and talk to people about it [17:15] wiehan: no point not using something because you're too scared to ask for advice [17:16] 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] wiehan: I don't see a problem with deluge [17:29] ikonia, I killed deluged - but it still isn't nice [17:29] wiehan: reboot your machine again, init certainly doens't look "good" [17:29] lets see if the problem persists [17:30] 1 root 20 0 24336 2348 1372 S 0 0.0 0:00.46 init [17:30] 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] wiehan: can you type "uptime" and post the output to the channel please. [17:31] 19:31:36 up 12 min, 3 users, load average: 6.09, 5.93, 3.32 [17:32] ok, so thats not through the roof [17:32] can you post the output of the command "free" [17:32] free -m [17:32] ikonia, but I can't "do" anything on the system - it used to be blasing fast [17:32] well, we can work it through, [17:33] can you get the ouptut of free -m please [17:33] http://pastebin.com/Tehy8LGs [17:34] 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] wiehan: ok, so it's not shy on ram, which goes back to what andol was suggesting earlier about io [17:35] noobster can you please explain the problem [17:35] 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] can we have a look at your currnet "top" output please. [17:35] 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] 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] 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] My /etc/exports file has... /home/windows/shares/www 192.168.0.72(rw,async,no_root_squash) [17:37] fstab on svr02 [17:37] 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] I dont see any hints in the log files [17:40] was there any changes at all before the intermittent failures began? [17:41] I just start to scp files to it or even if I cp files from /var/www to /home/shares/www [17:41] it runs find for a small time then freezes for a long time [17:42] I can still be ssh into the box but can not runn df or du untill it comes back [17:43] rsync will just freeze in the middle of moving files, but none of the files are over 700MB [17:43] svr01 has smb fileshares and they stay online and useable during this NFS freeze [17:43] well it does sound like a connectivity issue... could there be an issue with the routers/switch inbetween? [17:44] ahh kk [17:44] nope they are both in the same ESXi box [17:44] all other services stay online [17:45] do my export and mount options look compatible? [17:45] i would try and cut down some of the options in fstab, you've quite a few that seem excessive [17:45] svr01:/home/windows/shares/www /home/shares/www nfs rw,proto=tcp,addr=192.168.0.70 0 0 [17:46] ok brb [17:47] i should still use nobootwait incase t boots with out the NFS server up right [17:49] yes [17:54] also maybe try: showmount -e srv01 from another machine during the freeze to see if there's any response [17:54] 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] have you modified any other configs besides /etc/exports ? [17:55] Export list for svr01: [17:55] /home/windows/shares/www 192.168.0.72 [17:55] from both servers [17:56] did it respond during the freeze tho? [17:56] yes [17:56] not that I know of, this server has LAMP, jumbo frames & static IP... not much else yet [17:58] ssh with another term and if I run df it just sits there [18:00] ok after 95 sec df finally runs. Shows the NFS mount, but rsync has not resumed its transfer yet [18:01] 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] ok syslof is showing errors.. I wil pastebin.. brb [18:05] lol syslog.. fat fingers [18:05] http://pastebin.com/70S1uW9e [18:21] hitsujiTMO_: does this look like what I need? I have never applied a kernel patch before, thoughts?

[19:52] Just looking for basic monitoring, temp, disk status, process status [19:54] I am making some tests with isc-dhcp-client in debian stable and ubuntu 12.04 (provided by default) and I see tha the directive static routes is not taken. [19:55] si there some reason for this behaivor? technical maybe. [19:58] anyone in here have drupal on ubuntu server? [19:59] But with the package dhcpcd the directive works. :-/ [20:17] hi [20:19] 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] viper2k: what are you using as a resolver ? [20:29] you mean /etc/resolv.conf? [20:30] no, I mean what service is acting as your dns resolver ? [20:33] 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] what do I have to do? === hitsujiTMO_ is now known as hitsujiTMO [20:49] 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] 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] crimsonmane: daemons will run depending on their upstart configuration (e.g., on boot, on interface up, after another service has run, etc) [21:33] !upstart | crimsonmane [21:33] crimsonmane: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [21:34] Many thanks. I'll give that a read. [21:39] is upstart already included in ubuntu-server LTS or will I have to get it? [21:44] its all part of it [21:45] all the service running (networking etc) are all running on upstart [21:46] I've typed 'man upstart' and read the page, but do not see how to "use" it. [21:48] Oh, I see on the webpage to make files at /etc/init [21:56] crimsonmane: its a little confusing at first but its quite easy once you get used to it [21:58] 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] crimson do you want it to run at boot, or after network is up or after a specific service is up? [21:59] you can be quite specific with upstart [22:00] 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] 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] and the upstart cookbook hasn't been created yet [22:06] i am afk until further notice. children need attention. [22:06] crimsonmane: this should work i think: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6233490/ [22:09] crimsonmane: sorry, should be http://paste.ubuntu.com/6233498/ made a slight mistake [22:37] 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] here is the syslog error... http://pastebin.com/upF3TCHd [22:41] 3.2.0-54-generic x64 [22:54] all that says is, nfs is really really slow [22:57] 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] quantum ? :P [23:06] doh [23:06] sue me! [23:08] 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] 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] 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] crimsonmane: you went with the second paste i gave you? [23:36] yes sir [23:37] what is the primary interface? eth0? [23:38] yes === freeflying_away is now known as freeflying [23:39] sry just watched an epic NE vs NO game. killer winning touchdown couldn't have been any more perfect. [23:45] crimsonmane: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6233796/ [23:48] 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] bot to kick in [23:48] hitsujiTMO: it has not worked [23:50] 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] obviously replacing user with your actual username [23:51] the username is actually user [23:51] :) [23:51] ah lol [23:52] actually, [23:52] modify it to give the full path of supybot executable [23:52] thats prob the problem [23:53] oh. because supybot is not in PATH [23:53] 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] you included echo? [23:54] pre-start exec echo 'foo' /home/user/bar [23:54] commented out the supybot line [23:55] pre-start exec echo 'foo' > /home/user/bar [23:55] oh dear. thanks. [23:55] anyhow, just go ahead with giving the fullpath to supybot ... i'm positive that was the problem [23:57] bar now exists. ok i'll change to include full path [23:57] unfortunately "locate supybot" does not return any results... programs get installed where? [23:57] something/bin [23:58] /usr/bin is most likely
