[01:45] <axisys_> getting this error ...
[01:45] <axisys_> getopt unrecognized option --fstype=ext2
[01:46] <axisys_> so kickstart config is wrong?
[01:46] <axisys_> raid /boot --level=1 --device=md0 --fstype=ext2 raid.01 raid.03
[01:46] <axisys_> trying to boot lts
[01:46] <axisys_> not much help from google
[01:49] <jrwren> kickstart or preseed?
[01:52] <axisys_> jrwren: kickstart
[01:52] <axisys_> ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg in the append line
[02:19] <jtran> anyone know why after a fresh install of precise on a 4tb /dev/sda I always get grub console>  ?
[02:19] <jtran> the only way i can get it to work is if prior to installation i boot from livecd and use parted to create a msdos label
[02:20] <jtran> then install then everythign works.  However, if i need to reinstall (guided partitioning use entire disk without lvm) , it always ends up w/ the same grub console> instead of booting into the os
[03:03] <Kei1ch> Hey, I'm new to setting up webservers, and was wondering what I need to get to run my PHP scripts
[03:03] <bwk1> does ubuntu server 1310 come with php servers sql server ruby etc?
[03:04] <bwk1> is there a list of the type of daemons you can get for ubunter server?
[03:04] <Kei1ch> I don't think so
[03:04] <bwk1> I don't really know what they're called, but I want support for them on a web server.
[03:05] <Kei1ch> ohh nvm I
[03:05] <Kei1ch> ve got it
[03:05] <bwk1> nvm I'll just get LAMP :)
[03:06] <bwk1> :|
[03:16] <Kei1ch> My PHP script won't receive input from a form and send it to my email
[03:16] <Kei1ch> is it because I am using gmail? what should I use?
[03:50] <jrwren> axisys_: allow me to discourage use of kickstart and encourage use of preseed?
[04:11] <axisys_> jrwren: lot simpler to define raid/lvm/parition size is lot simpler with kickstart .. let me know why you are discouring..
[04:12] <jrwren> preseed is better for ubuntu/debian IMO.  kickstart is some redhat stuff
[04:12] <axisys_> jrwren: if you worked with preseed to define raid/lvm/size.. you know how scary the config looks like..
[04:12] <jrwren> yup
[04:12] <jrwren> its a pain
[04:12] <axisys_> ;-)
[04:13] <axisys_> which is super super simple with kickstart
[04:15] <jrwren> cept it don't work
[04:16] <bwk1> is ther a command to free all cached ram?
[04:17] <jrwren> no, why would there be?
[04:17] <bwk1> cached ram means?
[04:17] <bwk1> that it is just on reserve?
[04:18] <bwk1> I just don't understand why my comp is using all 8 gigs of ram.
[04:18] <jrwren> woudl you rather it NOT use all the resources it has at its disposal?
[04:18] <jrwren> google for linux bufcache
[04:19] <bwk1> jrwren: just confused abotu it.
[08:26] <jamespage> zul, how would you feel about taking the haproxy from experimental for trusty? its still a dev release but includes the SSL termination stuff
[08:26] <jamespage> which I think neutron is going to rely on
[09:25] <makara> hi. I'm trying to set a static IP, following this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/
[09:25] <makara> it says to remove dhcp-client, or dhcp3-client
[09:25] <makara> i don't have those. But I see from `ps aux` dhclient3
[09:28] <makara> i've uninstalled isc-dhcp-client, but when I restart networking I still see dhclient3
[09:28] <makara> problem is solved, but what's up with dhclient3?
[10:29] <Blinky_>  Hi guys, could someone please tell me how to set the permissions on my /var/www directory so that new adding files can be seen on the website?
[10:40] <PricelessTalk> chmod a+rx * -Rf
[12:07] <rbasak> zul, jamespage: did you get anywhere with a micro-release exception for mysql-5.5? I spoke to upstream about it at FOSDEM, and they've kindly drafted an application. Shall I send it on to the tech board?
[12:08] <rbasak> Also, we've not previously applied for mysql-5.5, right? Or have we?
[12:08] <rbasak> jamespage_: did you get anywhere with a micro-release exception for mysql-5.5? I spoke to upstream about it at FOSDEM, and they've kindly drafted an application. Shall I send it on to the tech board?
[12:09] <jamespage_> rbasak, I've not done it yet - can I take a peek?
[12:09] <rbasak> jamespage_: I'll forward it.
[12:09] <jamespage_> ta
[12:10] <jamespage> rbasak, looks good
[12:40] <rbasak> jamespage, jamespage_: thanks. I'll sort out the application then.
[12:40] <NeverHere> I have been to httpd and they told me to come here, im trying to reinstall apache2 on ubuntu 12.04 but for some reason its not installing into /etc/
[12:40] <jamespage> rbasak, that would be much appreciated - thankyou!
[12:42] <jamespage> NeverHere, did you delete your /etc/apache2 files manually?
[12:43] <NeverHere> jamespage, yes
[12:43] <jamespage> ah
[12:46] <NeverHere> jamespage, is it possible to get the files from somewhere?
[12:50] <jamespage> NeverHere, yes
[12:52] <jamespage> NeverHere, I think its : apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" install --reinstall <pkgname>
[12:53] <NeverHere> thanks
[12:53] <jamespage> NeverHere, for furture reference "apt-get remove"  does not drop files from /etc
[12:53] <jamespage> apt-get purge does
[12:53] <jamespage> (and leaves the system in the right state afterwards)
[12:54] <NeverHere> jamespage, someone messed up the config files
[12:56] <jamespage> cheerio
[13:10] <NeverHere> jamespage, I got it, but now i need to load its modules do i just mv them to the mods-loaded dir?
[13:20] <jrwren> a2enmod
[13:21] <w0rmie> isc-dhcp-server restart: job failed to start (under 12.04 LTS)
[13:21] <w0rmie> any ideas?
[13:21] <TJ-> w0rmie: Check the syslog
[13:24] <w0rmie> TJ- : init: isc-dhcp-server pre-start process (2832) terminated with status 1
[13:24] <TJ-> w0rmie: Very helpful :)
[13:24] <w0rmie> TJ- : me or the syslog lol
[13:24] <TJ-> w0rmie: Have changes been made to the dhcp configuration recently?
[13:26] <w0rmie> yes, i am making a configuration for pxelinux.0
[13:27] <TJ-> w0rmie: OK, do "sudo dhcpd -t" which will test the configuration and report errors
[13:36] <w0rmie> TJ- : ok it shows that there are some errors, i am fixing them, hope i can test after couple minutes.
[13:37] <TJ-> w0rmie: most daemons have some way of doing an offline test of the config file before you deploy it, and some (like dhcpd) allow you to specify a different file to test (so you avoid making edits to the live config)
[14:11] <tom_af> hi is this where I should post something about a failing package mirror for Amazon EC2?
[14:13] <sarnold> tom_af: #ubuntu-mirrors may be better; check the /topic to see if there is a vanguard at the moment, if so, use their nickname in the report
[14:14] <tom_af> @sarnold yes, I'm trying there too, though there isn't a vanguard
[14:15] <sarnold> tom_af: darn. hopefully one will arrive eventually.
[15:57] <tomixxx3> hi, i have two network interface cards plugged into my ubuntu-server, now i have rebooted and one card is not working anymore, if i type "ifconfig" i cannot see it anymore
[15:59] <gammalget> tomixxx3: dmesg says?
[15:59] <hallyn> jdstrand: hi, bug 1276719, I suppose to handle that safely we would need to have virt-aa-helper detect VFIO?
[16:00] <tomixxx3> gammalget: a lot of entries
[16:01] <gammalget> tomixxx3: ah, truth..
[16:01] <gammalget> If you do.
[16:01] <gammalget> dmesg | grep eth1
[16:02] <tomixxx3> gammalget: it says link is not ready
[16:03] <rbasak> tomixxx3: have you tried "ifconfig -a"? "ifconfig" only shows you configured cards.
[16:04] <rbasak> tomixxx3: also look at mii-tool and/or ethtool to see connection status.
[16:04] <tomixxx3> rbasak: y, ifconfig -a shows me eht1 but the interface gets no ip
[16:04] <tomixxx3> rbasak: it should get one from the dhcp
[16:07] <tomixxx3> rbasak: and now, i always get a dialog after reboot indicating some "system problem detected"
[16:07] <gammalget> have you changed the "mac address" if virtual?
[16:07] <gammalget> Then udev rule 70-net kicks in.
[16:07] <tomixxx3> no
[16:07] <rbasak> tomixxx3: a dialog? Are you sure this is a server?
[16:07] <tomixxx3> rbasak: i ve installed gnome as a GUI :-)
[16:07] <gammalget> tomixxx3: oh.
[16:08] <rbasak> tomixxx3: then you could have interesting interactions with NetworkManager. Out of scope for me now, sorry.
[16:08] <gammalget> did it install "network-manager" too?
[16:08] <gammalget> rbasak: :)
[16:10] <tomixxx3> gammalget: "network", "network tools" are listed as applications
[16:10] <sarnold> tomixxx3: "dpkg -l network-manager"
[16:10] <gammalget> tomixxx3: dpkg -l | grep network-manager
[16:10] <gammalget> I'm slow nowdays.. Starting to get old :D
[16:11] <tomixxx3> gammalget: 4 red words listed
[16:11] <tomixxx3> i guess this means "yes"
[16:11] <tomixxx3> eht1 worked yesterday perfectly
[16:12] <gammalget> does it say ii - network-manager
[16:12] <gammalget> or rc - network-manager
[16:12] <tomixxx3> yes
[16:13] <tomixxx3> the problem dialog says "system program problem detected" but WHERE can i see details to the problem?
[16:13] <tomixxx3> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
[16:13] <cyphermox_> tomixxx3: ls -l /var/crash
[16:13] <tomixxx3> sorry
[16:13] <cyphermox_> you'll know what failed.
[16:13] <tomixxx3> ahh, some problems with maas
[16:14] <tomixxx3> but i guess this has nothing to do with a working ethernet card?
[16:14] <cyphermox_> if you don't care you can just remove all files in that directory, but I encourage you to file the bugs for those
[16:14] <cyphermox_> tomixxx3: you can't know just from the file name
[16:14] <cyphermox_> (hence why I say file the bug)
[16:14] <cyphermox_> ubuntu-bug /var/crash/<.crash file>
[16:15] <gammalget> gammalget: What is the last thing that you installed?
[16:15] <gammalget> tail /var/log/apt/history.log
[16:15] <rbasak> jamespage: see bug 1276909 - arm64 in juju-core. Do you want a distro patch for this?
[16:15] <tomixxx3> "sorry, ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error."
[16:16] <gammalget> tomixxx3: when you did the tail?
[16:17] <tomixxx3> gammalget: i have done this tail
[16:17] <gammalget> there you see the last installed/updated packages.. Anything "big" installed before the last reboot?
[16:18] <tomixxx3> gammalget: yeah, i have installed some images for maas-server
[16:21] <tomixxx3> i _will_ uninstall maas agbain.... sth strange going on here
[16:21] <gammalget> tomixxx3: Humm, I am not familiar with maas. I'm sorry.
[16:21] <tomixxx3> kk
[16:22] <sarnold> I suspect maas will not expect network-manager
[16:22] <gammalget> Never messed with it on physical servers, only virtual and only boot up and try :)
[16:23] <tomixxx3> i could cry these days ^^
[16:23] <sarnold> tomixxx3: your network configuration is special enough that you might do much better to purge network-manager and related stuff and manage your NICs yourself. Dunno how well a MAAS headend will handle also being a NAT system if you're doing that for your other machines
[16:23] <tomixxx3> 1 step forward, 2 steps back all the time
[16:24] <sarnold> tomixxx3: (or did you find out from your IS staff if you can plug multiple machines right into a switch?)
[16:24] <tomixxx3> sarnold: i got a routing-script from #maas-guys which should solve some problems
[16:24] <tomixxx3> sarnold: however, first i need to get eth1 work again...
[16:25] <sarnold> tomixxx3: oh, nice!
[16:25] <gammalget> tomixxx3: well, I guess that just like sarnold says.. maas is not used to work in a network-manager enviroment.
[16:25] <tomixxx3> kk, so i sould remove network-manager?
[16:27] <tomixxx3> k, i have purged this network-manager
[16:27] <sarnold> tomixxx3: maybe. it'll be a huge change for your local networking, so I suspect it'll feel like four or five steps backwards. But I think the end result will be more predictable.
[16:28] <tomixxx3> :( hope so
[16:36] <tomixxx3> how can i activate a ethernet card? eth1 is in state "inactive"
[16:40] <tomixxx3> i dont understand this: i do "sudo ifup eth1" it says" interface eth1 already configured but if i do "ifconfig" i cannot see eth1
[16:40] <sarnold> tomixxx3: ifup is a nice wrapper around e.g. /etc/network/interfaces
[16:40] <parallel21> ifconfig -a
[16:41] <tomixxx3> yeah, i can see eth1 with ifconfig -a
[16:41] <tomixxx3> but it gets no ip
[16:41] <parallel21> dhclient eth1?
[16:41] <sarnold> tomixxx3: you will probably want to use lower-level tools like ifconfig or ip to configure the interface before converting that into /etc/network/interfaces configuratoin
[16:42] <tomixxx3> parallel21: commant not found
[16:42] <parallel21> oh... because you purged network-manager maybe
[16:42] <parallel21> Hrmm...
[16:42] <tomixxx3> k, i will reinstall it
[16:43] <tomixxx3> damn, i have no access to inet
[16:43] <sarnold> tomixxx3: what do you intend to do with eth1? will it be your dhcp server for your downstreams? or is that how you connect to your uni?
[16:43] <parallel21> eep
[16:43] <tomixxx3> sarnodl: connection to uni
[16:44] <parallel21> set ifconfig ip manually
[16:46] <tomixxx3> for eth1
[16:47] <parallel21> yeah, I mean do you know an ipaddress and netmask and the like?
[16:47] <tomixxx3> ive only ip and subnet
[16:48] <parallel21> I imagine you can guess the gateway
[16:49] <tomixxx3> nothing works here - ah - it makes me crazy! even things, EVER worked, does not work anymore...
[16:50] <sarnold> tomixxx3: you've got old packages in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[16:51] <sarnold> tomixxx3: but I think you'd be better off using a standard dhcp client rather than relying upon network-manager scripty things.
[16:51] <parallel21> sarnold: Doesn't --purge remove the packages?
[16:51] <sarnold> parallel21: --purge uninstalls the package and deletes the configurations
[16:52] <parallel21> I did not know that.
[16:52] <sarnold> parallel21: --purge leaves alone the apt cache, that is managed via apt-get clean
[16:52] <sarnold> look into /var/cache/apt/archives/, you probably have a few hundred packages in there :)
[16:52] <parallel21> Oh
[16:52] <parallel21> I'm taking a look see now
[16:52] <tomixxx3> yeah, there are a lot of packagesf
[16:52] <tomixxx3> sd
[16:53] <sarnold> it'll get you out of some seriously inconvenient situations, and if you ever need to free up a few gigabytes in a hurry, there you go :)
[16:53] <tomixxx3> so, maybe i should execute "apt-get clean" ?
[16:53] <sarnold> tomixxx3: no.
[16:54] <sarnold> tomixxx3: you can dpkg -i one of those network-manager packages if you wanted it badly enough..
[16:55] <parallel21> I have a whole gig of packages, who knew?
[17:01] <tomixxx3> hmm, now i switched the cables and now eth0 does not work so i guess it has nothing to do with the ethernet cards
[17:04] <parallel21> did you get dhclient back?
[17:05] <tomixxx3> no, i have no internet-access
[17:05] <tomixxx3> because eth0 now gets no ip
[17:05] <tomixxx3> instead of eth1
[17:06] <tomixxx3> what the hell is going on here, maybe some admin locked the MAC addresses?
[17:07] <sarnold> could be, especially if you exposed a DHCP server to their network.
[17:07] <tomixxx3> yeah
[17:09] <tomixxx3> hmmm, now i did "sudo ifup eth0" and i get the following response: "RTNETLINK answers: Network is down"
[17:09] <sarnold> did you configure /etc/network/interfaces correctly for eth0?
[17:10] <parallel21> looks like it is part of isc-dhcp-client
[17:10] <tomixxx3> sarnold: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
[17:10] <tomixxx3> sarnold: and there are some other statements but commented
[17:11] <sarnold> tomixxx3: and ethtool or mii-tool?
[17:12] <tomixxx3> ok, it seems one comment sign "#" was not separated with whitespace from one line
[17:12] <tomixxx3> now the message is gone but it says "run-parts: /etc/network/if-up.d/avahi-autoipd exited with return code 2
[17:17] <tomixxx3> "please enter your password to access problem reports of system programs"................... which _password_ do i need here?
[17:17] <sarnold> user password
[17:17] <tomixxx3> does not work
[17:17] <tomixxx3> i swear
[17:18] <sarnold> check capslock?
[17:18] <tomixxx3> no capslock
[17:19] <tomixxx3> i have tried it all the time, on multiple reboots, never worked
[18:54] <semiosis> jdstrand: ping
[19:00] <tash> anyone in here using Ubuntu MAAS to pxe boot servers on the network? I'd like to use something to deploy Ubuntu Server via pxe
[19:00] <tash> seems like it might work, but looking for opinions
[19:02] <sarnold> tash: I've used it in VMs, it looked neat, but I suspect a simple pxe bootserver would be easier to configure and use you're not using the rest of maas
[19:27] <zul> hallyn:  ping
[19:27] <hallyn> zul: hey
[19:28] <zul> hallyn:  im going to move pm-utils from suggested to recommends for libvirt ok?
[19:28] <hallyn> zul: sounds good
[19:28] <hallyn> is it currently included in the server seed?
[19:29] <hallyn> (wondering if we're going to grow the server iso)
[19:29] <zul> hallyn:  its in main so should be ok
[19:29] <hallyn> alrighty
[19:53] <med_> jamespage, zul, why do all of the openstack docs say to remove the ubuntu dashboard as it is broken (upstream github openstack-manuals which also appear online as OpenStack docs)
[19:55] <med_>   apt-get remove --purge openstack-dashboard-ubuntu-theme
[19:55] <med_> (claims are that it is broken in Grizz and Havana)
[19:58] <zul> wtf
[21:33] <hallyn> smb: mjt points out that commit 360e607b88a2 in upstream qemu should be needed for xen using qemu (since 1.6).  have you run across anything likethat?
