[00:50] <zartoosh> hi on ubuntu 14.04 the network interface is named em1 and p1p6, how could I change this back to eth0 and 1. I have tried may different way as suggested by googling on this matter with no success.
[00:57] <Patrickdk> simple
[00:57] <Patrickdk> uninstall that damned biosdevname package
[00:57] <Patrickdk> update your initrd files
[00:57] <Patrickdk> reboot
[01:07] <zartoosh> Patrickdk, it did not work, here is what I did:  apt-get purge biosdevname; update-initramfs -u; reboot     ??
[01:07] <zartoosh> I can not ssh to the system,
[01:08] <Patrickdk> well, if the interfaces changed back to eth0/eth1 instead of em1/p1p6, oviously networking wouldn't work
[01:08] <Patrickdk> till you updated it atleast
[01:09] <zartoosh> yes, it did changed to the eth0/eth1. but I have to run dhclient manually to get Ip address on eth0.
[01:09] <Patrickdk> so?
[01:09] <Patrickdk> that says the issue is fixed
[01:10] <Patrickdk> did you expect dhclient to run automatically?
[01:10] <zartoosh> on next reboot i have to do the same thing again manually, I am hoping this be done once.
[01:10] <Patrickdk> that isn't so, you have to configure that yourself
[01:10] <Patrickdk> well, configure it to do so
[01:10] <zartoosh> so then there are some configuration also needed to be changed?
[01:11] <Patrickdk> sure, /etc/network/interfaces
[01:11] <zartoosh> okay great thanks I go changes those now and see how it goes.
[01:15] <zartoosh> that didn't do it, there should be some other configuration file needed to be modified?
[04:06] <xpistos> Hey all I am having some troubel when I try to use apt-get anything i do tells me E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution), but when I do  it tells me the disk is full although I have plenty of space
[04:06] <xpistos> Any Ideas?
[04:07] <cfhowlett> xpistos spring cleaning
[04:07] <xpistos> cfhowlett: I am all for that but not sure what to do
[04:07] <cfhowlett> xpistos sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get purge
[04:07] <xpistos> cfhowlett: what does that remove?
[04:07] <xpistos> unused stuff?
[04:07] <cfhowlett> xpistos  after that, run df -h
[04:08] <cfhowlett> xpistos your downloaded packages are retained in the apt/cache      - a major memory hog if you never empty it.  these commands do that
[04:08] <xpistos> cool. thanks
[04:10] <xpistos> cfhowlett: E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
[04:10] <cfhowlett> xpistos but no longer full disk?
[04:11] <xpistos> my home has 6 gb free
[04:11] <genii> I wonder how much /boot has
[04:11] <cfhowlett> xpistos holy!!!  that's pretty tiny ...
[04:12] <xpistos> cfhowlett: home has a small seperate drive. I have a /data drive with files on it
[04:12] <cfhowlett> xpistos ahhh.  nice.
[04:13] <xpistos> cfhowlett: I usually partition with a 300mb /boot, 20gb /, 20 gb /home and the rest is data
[04:13] <cfhowlett> xpistos for comparison: my hdd has 211G for /home and my ubuntustudio uses only 9.8G
[04:13] <xpistos> cfhowlett: and swap too of course
[04:14] <xpistos> cfhowlett: this is an old server and I am just trying to squeeze another few months out of it before I erase everything and put dsl or puppy on it or somethig
[04:15] <xpistos> cfhowlett: I am running disk analysis to be sure
[04:15] <cfhowlett> xpistos sounds about right.  I'm not the one to advise on server issues, but I do recall that server logs can easily grow exponentially ...
[04:15] <xpistos> that might be it
[04:17] <xpistos> cfhowlett: it thinks /usr is full
[04:17] <xpistos> ??
[04:18] <cfhowlett> xpistos yeah, that don't sound right.  ask over in #ubuntu         Don't want to give you bad intel...
[04:19] <xpistos> cfhowlett: Will do. thanks for giving it a go mate!
[04:38] <tohuw> Is there a compelling reason to use a 64-bit kernel for a lighweight (1-2 GB RAM) web server?
[04:48] <qman__> Software compatibility and platform unification
[04:49] <cfhowlett> tohuw compelling?  no.  more that if your system is 64 bit capable, there's little reason to run anything else.
[04:52] <tohuw> yeah. makes sense. this post was helpful: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/38369/running-64-bit-linux-with-750-mb-of-ram-worth-it
[04:54] <cfhowlett> tohuw perhaps ask in ##linux for additional input
[04:55] <tohuw> I feel comfortable enough with the input I’ve received where I’ve asked and looked thus far. :) It’s not life or death to begin with.

[05:16] <Braden`> Hello
[05:17] <Braden`> I just recently did an apt-get upgrade, and now whenever I try to do mysqldump, I get mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'START TRANSACTION /*!40100 WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT */': Unknown command (1047).  Does anyone know how to solve that?

[05:52] <vychune> im having trouble writing files to /var/www. Neither the admin or I can write to it. We've even done the 777 dumba** permissions and still cannot write. Any idea why?
[05:55] <vychune> helloooooo
[05:56]  * genii slides vychune a coffee
[05:57] <vychune> water will be fine
[05:57] <vychune> lol
[05:57] <genii> vychune: I'd normally take it on but it's very late here and don't want to mess up permissions, etc
[05:58] <vychune> genii:  :(
[05:58] <vychune> we've been messing it up all night
[05:59] <genii> vychune: If you don't have it sorted later today, you could try next time I'm online, which is usually 10am-5pm weekdays EDT
[06:00] <vychune> ok then
[06:01] <vychune> thanks for all you do, i see you help so much already
[06:01] <vychune> and isnt it like 2 on the east coast? lol genii

[09:06] <ciastek> How to disable IPv6? I've tried with sysctl, but it doesn't work: https://gist.github.com/ciastek/b9d64d31bf473b2aaf77
[09:21] <peetaur2> ciastek: do you have an ipv6 address in some routing or dns config somewhere?
[09:26] <ciastek> peetaur2: not sure where to look for that info. `ip route` and `cat /etc/resolv.conf` shows no IPv6 addresses
[09:26] <peetaur2> that's the right place to look then.
[09:27] <peetaur2> (unless nsswitch.conf or some other thing has overridden them)
[10:38] <RuNnNy> I get this at boot "Stopping Read Required Files In Advanced"
[10:39] <RuNnNy> This is most likely due to some of the services I'm starting
[10:39] <RuNnNy> my web server gets initiated, but I can't ssh into the machine, it's stuck somewhere in boot
[12:19] <zul> hallyn_:  libvirt 1.2.6 is out
[12:23] <hallyn_> zul: yeah?
[12:24] <zul> yeah
[12:45] <gnuoy> jamespage, fwiw I've only found 4 packages in the openstack requirements.txt  which cannot currently be satisfied by the versions in utopic (python-msgpack, python-pecan, python-paramiko and python-neutronclient)
[12:46] <gnuoy> #
[12:57] <jamespage> gnuoy, good
[12:58] <jamespage> zul: gnuoy has been busy :-) ^^
[12:58] <zul> jamespage:  good...i like to keep him busy :P
[13:16] <gnuoy> jamespage, zul, I'm champing at the bit to resolve these 4, what's the next step ?
[13:17] <jamespage> gnuoy, update them
[13:17] <jamespage> :-)
[13:17] <zul> gnuoy: what jamespage said
[13:17] <jamespage> gnuoy, what's the version difference like?
[13:17] <gnuoy> jamespage, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7736717/
[13:18] <jamespage> gnuoy, I'd check 'rmadison XX' for each of those first
[13:19] <jamespage> gnuoy, you need to determine whether a) its already in utopic but held up in -proposed due to build or test failures b) not in utopic, but can be synced from Debian which does have the right version
[13:19] <gnuoy> ohh, python-pecan is fixed in utopic-proposed
[13:19] <jamespage> c) neither of the above and needs a upgrade in Ubuntu
[13:20] <jamespage> gnuoy, http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html
[13:20] <jamespage> tells you why its still in proposed
[13:20] <gnuoy> jamespage, thanks for the tips
[16:11] <GrueMaster> Can anyone help, I have a server running 14.04 (upgraded from 12.04), and now one of the Windows 7 VMs in qemu-kvm won't restart.  It complains that "numad is not available on this host", and the libvirt config keeps adding a numatune section.  Other VMs are fine.
[16:13] <cfhowlett> GrueMaster might query in #ubuntu-server
[16:14] <GrueMaster> Erm, this is #ubuntu-server
[16:14] <cfhowlett> GrueMaster D'OH!   right.  too many tabs.  sorry.
[16:35] <fridaynext> if i'm running a cronjob that needs to hit a url, does the url need to be in quotes?
[16:38] <RoyK> fridaynext: some cronjobs can be hard to quote up IMHO - make a shell script - test it - cron it
[16:53] <lordievader> Good evening.
[17:02]  * patdk-wk perfers params to always be in quotes
[17:02] <patdk-wk> it makes things more predictable
[18:07] <frogblue> 'lo, test    ALL = /usr/sbin/service apache2 restart allows my test user to restart apachae2, is there a one liner in sudoers to allow me all operations on apache2?
[18:08] <frogblue> I mean to allow my test user
[18:10] <sarnold> frogblue: try this:  test    ALL = /usr/sbin/service apache2 *
[18:11] <frogblue> nope
[18:11] <frogblue> bah gonna write 4 lines and that'll do
[18:13] <tonyyarusso> Hi, we'd like to have SpamAssassin listen on a Unix socket rather than TCP, but I don't see any indication of a "normal" location for that socket.  My first thought was to have it in a subdirectory, eg. /var/run/spamassassin/spamd.sock, but since the /var/run/spamassassin directory doesn't exist after a reboot currently, I'd need to either a) edit the init script to create the directory first, and remember to do that if any ...
[18:13] <tonyyarusso> ... future package upgrades overwrite my change, or b) put it in /var/run, ignoreing the FHS recommendation that if an application has more than one file it should use a subdirectory.  Thoughts?
[18:14] <sarnold> frogblue: d'oh. yeah, a handful of lines is nice and easy.
[18:14] <frogblue> arf :)
[18:18] <frogblue> am in the sudoers man5 but with no luck so far
[18:19] <sarnold> frogblue: no kidding. that's a rough manpage.
[18:25] <frogblue> hmmm, in fact     test    ALL = /usr/sbin/service apache2 allows the user to restart but not reload
[18:26] <frogblue> eventhough estart is not mentionned
[18:29] <sarnold> frogblue: tbh i'm always skeptical of extra arguments with sudo; I'd rather write a stupid little C helper if I wanted to allow executing one specific program with specific arguments but not other arguments..
[18:29] <frogblue> right but has to be knowledgeable in C, which is not my case :) nor in any kind of languages in fact
[18:50] <frogblue> sarnold, that was a bad syntax from me...  right syntax  test ALL=(ALL) /usr/sbin/service apache2 re*
[18:50] <frogblue> had spaces before/after =
[18:52] <sarnold> frogblue: ARGH. I hate sudo. :)
[18:52] <sarnold> frogblue: thanks for reporting back :)
[18:54] <frogblue> but i don't get what the second ALL is for. working as well without it
[18:56] <frogblue> https://kura.io/2010/01/13/howto-debian-sudoers-explained/
[18:57] <histo> frogblue: what second all?
[18:57] <frogblue> test ALL=(ALL)
[18:57] <frogblue> after =
[18:58] <histo> any host
[18:58] <frogblue> that's the first
[18:58] <histo> as any user
[18:58] <histo> sorry i'm tired
[18:59] <frogblue> can't understand "is the user(s) to allow the user to run commands as "
[19:00] <histo> frogblue: what?
[19:00] <GrueMaster> Reposting as I have had no response.  Can anyone help, I have a server running 14.04 (upgraded from 12.04), and now one of the Windows 7 VMs in qemu-kvm won't restart. It complains that "numad is not available on this host", and the libvirt config keeps adding a numatune section. Other VMs are fine.
[19:00] <frogblue> histo a sentence i found in a web page explaining sudo
[19:00] <histo> frogblue: yeah Let's them run as any user
[19:01] <histo> s/Let's/lets/
[19:01] <frogblue> oh well. have this command working now, not going to blow my neurons
[19:01] <frogblue> histo, still don't get
[19:01] <histo> it's tricky. if you man sudoers and scroll down quite a bit for some of the examples it will make sense
[19:02] <sarnold> hallyn_,zul, any ideas with GrueMaster's qemu-kvm issue? ^^
[19:03] <zul> GrueMaster:  nope
[19:03] <zul> sarnold:  i mean nope
[19:03] <sarnold> zul: thanks :)
[19:03] <frogblue> histo, ok. had trouble understanding running as another user. understand now sudo -u anotheruser
[19:04] <frogblue> guess am a bit tired as well :)
[19:04] <frogblue> thx for the help
[19:04] <hallyn_> sarnold: GrueMaster: might just try 14.10 to see if that fixes it;
[19:06] <hallyn_> GrueMaster: you mean that you 'virsh edit domain', remove the numatune section, save and quit, and the numatune section gets re-added?
[19:06] <hallyn_> GrueMaster: if so, please go ahead and open a bug, and append your domain .xml.  will have to try to reproduce, as it certainly doesn't do that for me
[19:12] <toyotapie> My boss just made me setup an OpenVPN tunnel between a Ubuntu server and a Windows 2000 Server. I think my boss is trying to remind me how appreciative I should be that we can run Ubuntu at work.
[19:13] <jrwren> windows 2000? as in, 14 years old?
[19:17] <hallyn_> windows 2000, as in newer than xp
[19:17]  * hallyn_ is an optimist
[19:18] <jrwren> 2000 was before XP.
[19:25] <RoyK> toyotapie: hehe - win server 2k12r2 just came out, perhaps time for an update? ;)
[19:26] <RoyK> jrwren: win2k arrived just before windows ME
[19:27] <RoyK> jrwren: but then, win2k was based on the winnt platform, which arrived in winxp, so not that ugly as winme
[19:28] <toyotapie> True, but it's still really old in IT time.
[19:28] <RoyK> jrwren: that is, the winnt platform arrived with OS/2, microsoft stole it and named it winnt 3.1 etc etc etc
[19:30] <genii> IBM and MS had a split in 92-93 and the courts decided both could use the same kernel to build on. So IBM's became OS/2 and Microsoft's became the NT core.
[19:30] <genii> They evolved from there.
[19:34] <jrwren> RoyK: i lived all that. I remember :)
[19:34] <RoyK> jrwren: ;)
[19:50] <toyotapie> To be fair, the Windows 2000 server does what the customer wants it to do.
[19:51] <toyotapie> mainstream support for windows 2000 only ended 9 years ago
[20:24] <RoyK> tohuw: you'd be better off with an ubuntu 8.04 than with win2k
[20:25] <tohuw> RoyK: ?
[20:25] <tohuw> oh, wrong highlight
[20:25] <RoyK> perhaps
[20:26] <RoyK> toyotapie apparently left
[20:28] <`Fibz> i dont know the mysql password for this machine. i have tried purging mysql and tried using tasksel to remove and re-install the lamp stack but when i re-install, it never asks for a mysql root password. how can i rebuild the stack from scratch without re-installing ubuntu?
[20:32] <RoyK> `Fibz: just start mysqld with --skip-grant-tables
[20:32] <genii> `Fibz: Basic process: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset   although perhaps use service mysqld stop instead of the old init.d way shown there
[20:34] <RoyK> `Fibz: or perhaps jfgfi ;)
[20:34] <`Fibz> ?
[20:36] <RoyK> http://justfuckinggoogleit.com/images/bart.gif
[20:37] <`Fibz> if you dont have anything nice to say, perhapse keep it to yourself
[20:39] <RoyK> `Fibz: I did give you a good advice
[20:40] <GrueMaster> hallyn_: Sorry for not getting back, work laptop crashed - couldn't connect to my irc server (Quassel).
[20:40] <GrueMaster> I found out the reason the virsh edits were not sticking was another user was also trying to change the system settings.  He has been slapped for his efforts.
[20:41] <GrueMaster> But still, what is the numad daemon and where is it in the repo?  Google had one reference to Fedora (shudder).
[20:43] <GrueMaster> And I can't really do much with 14.10 other than testing, as this is a production environment.  I've fought hard to get everything on Ubuntu LTS (12.04/14.04) for the last 2 years.  Was a mixed bag of OpenSuse, Fedora, FreeNAS, etc.
[21:01] <hallyn_> GrueMaster: so long as removing it by hand sticks, you're ok.  how it got in there, my guess woudl be virt-manager?  Did you use vir-tmanager under precise to create the domain?
[21:02] <GrueMaster> Yes originally.
[21:02] <GrueMaster> It worked fine until we tried to bump it to 4 vcpus.
[21:03] <hallyn_> yeah, i still think this is worth looking into, but i'm not sure where to start.  Could you create a new vm under vir-tmanager and see if it adds the stanza again?  Then file a bug
[21:03]  * hallyn_ out, but bbl
[21:37] <adam_g> hallyn_, do you know if libvirt recreates required sub-directories in its state path /var/lib/libvirt/  if they get removed?
[22:08] <hallyn_> adam_g: i think so...  i've never had to re-create them myself when i've messed things up
[22:09] <memoryleak_> hi
[22:11] <memoryleak_> hi
[22:12] <sarnold> hello memoryleak_; note that in huge channels it's not too common for people to expect replies to 'hi', since that'd be a few hundred responses...
[22:12] <sarnold> nothing else would ever be discsussed :)
[22:12] <memoryleak_> right :)
[22:14] <memoryleak_> sorry for off-topic, but how can I find a channel operator?
[22:20] <sarnold> memoryleak_: the #ubuntu-ops channel has some
[22:20] <sarnold> memoryleak_: in general, /msg chanserv access list #channelname  ought to show you
[22:22] <memoryleak_> sarnold: Thanks, that's very helpful!
[23:19] <jrwren> uvt-kvm list shows a VM, but virsh with system or session doesn't list it
[23:19] <jrwren> *doh* and immediately after asking, I remember virsh doesn't list inactive by default
