=== michael__ is now known as Guest68547 [00:50] 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] simple [00:57] uninstall that damned biosdevname package [00:57] update your initrd files [00:57] reboot [01:07] Patrickdk, it did not work, here is what I did: apt-get purge biosdevname; update-initramfs -u; reboot ?? [01:07] I can not ssh to the system, [01:08] well, if the interfaces changed back to eth0/eth1 instead of em1/p1p6, oviously networking wouldn't work [01:08] till you updated it atleast [01:09] yes, it did changed to the eth0/eth1. but I have to run dhclient manually to get Ip address on eth0. [01:09] so? [01:09] that says the issue is fixed [01:10] did you expect dhclient to run automatically? [01:10] on next reboot i have to do the same thing again manually, I am hoping this be done once. [01:10] that isn't so, you have to configure that yourself [01:10] well, configure it to do so [01:10] so then there are some configuration also needed to be changed? [01:11] sure, /etc/network/interfaces [01:11] okay great thanks I go changes those now and see how it goes. [01:15] that didn't do it, there should be some other configuration file needed to be modified? === michael__ is now known as Guest94493 === thesheff17_ is now known as thesheff17 [04:06] 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] Any Ideas? [04:07] xpistos spring cleaning [04:07] cfhowlett: I am all for that but not sure what to do [04:07] xpistos sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get purge [04:07] cfhowlett: what does that remove? [04:07] unused stuff? [04:07] xpistos after that, run df -h [04:08] 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] cool. thanks [04:10] cfhowlett: E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. [04:10] xpistos but no longer full disk? [04:11] my home has 6 gb free [04:11] I wonder how much /boot has [04:11] xpistos holy!!! that's pretty tiny ... [04:12] cfhowlett: home has a small seperate drive. I have a /data drive with files on it [04:12] xpistos ahhh. nice. [04:13] cfhowlett: I usually partition with a 300mb /boot, 20gb /, 20 gb /home and the rest is data [04:13] xpistos for comparison: my hdd has 211G for /home and my ubuntustudio uses only 9.8G [04:13] cfhowlett: and swap too of course [04:14] 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] cfhowlett: I am running disk analysis to be sure [04:15] 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] that might be it [04:17] cfhowlett: it thinks /usr is full [04:17] ?? [04:18] xpistos yeah, that don't sound right. ask over in #ubuntu Don't want to give you bad intel... [04:19] cfhowlett: Will do. thanks for giving it a go mate! === michael__ is now known as Guest72533 [04:38] Is there a compelling reason to use a 64-bit kernel for a lighweight (1-2 GB RAM) web server? [04:48] Software compatibility and platform unification [04:49] tohuw compelling? no. more that if your system is 64 bit capable, there's little reason to run anything else. [04:52] 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] tohuw perhaps ask in ##linux for additional input [04:55] 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.

[06:05] :) [06:05] get earplugs, bed sooner lol [09:06] How to disable IPv6? I've tried with sysctl, but it doesn't work: https://gist.github.com/ciastek/b9d64d31bf473b2aaf77 [09:21] ciastek: do you have an ipv6 address in some routing or dns config somewhere? [09:26] peetaur2: not sure where to look for that info. `ip route` and `cat /etc/resolv.conf` shows no IPv6 addresses [09:26] that's the right place to look then.

[12:24] yeah [12:45] 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] # === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [12:57] gnuoy, good [12:58] zul: gnuoy has been busy :-) ^^ [12:58] jamespage: good...i like to keep him busy :P [13:16] jamespage, zul, I'm champing at the bit to resolve these 4, what's the next step ? [13:17] gnuoy, update them [13:17] :-) [13:17] gnuoy: what jamespage said [13:17] gnuoy, what's the version difference like? [13:17] jamespage, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7736717/ [13:18] gnuoy, I'd check 'rmadison XX' for each of those first [13:19] 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] ohh, python-pecan is fixed in utopic-proposed [13:19] c) neither of the above and needs a upgrade in Ubuntu [13:20] gnuoy, http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html [13:20] tells you why its still in proposed [13:20] jamespage, thanks for the tips === Mez_ is now known as Mez === Solution-X|AFK is now known as Solution-X [16:11] 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] GrueMaster might query in #ubuntu-server [16:14] Erm, this is #ubuntu-server [16:14] GrueMaster D'OH! right. too many tabs. sorry. [16:35] if i'm running a cronjob that needs to hit a url, does the url need to be in quotes? [16:38] fridaynext: some cronjobs can be hard to quote up IMHO - make a shell script - test it - cron it [16:53] Good evening. [17:02] * patdk-wk perfers params to always be in quotes [17:02] it makes things more predictable [18:07] '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] I mean to allow my test user [18:10] frogblue: try this: test ALL = /usr/sbin/service apache2 * [18:11] nope [18:11] bah gonna write 4 lines and that'll do [18:13] 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] ... 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] frogblue: d'oh. yeah, a handful of lines is nice and easy. [18:14] arf :) [18:18] am in the sudoers man5 but with no luck so far [18:19] frogblue: no kidding. that's a rough manpage. [18:25] hmmm, in fact test ALL = /usr/sbin/service apache2 allows the user to restart but not reload [18:26] eventhough estart is not mentionned [18:29] 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] right but has to be knowledgeable in C, which is not my case :) nor in any kind of languages in fact [18:50] sarnold, that was a bad syntax from me... right syntax test ALL=(ALL) /usr/sbin/service apache2 re* [18:50] had spaces before/after = [18:52] frogblue: ARGH. I hate sudo. :) [18:52] frogblue: thanks for reporting back :) [18:54] but i don't get what the second ALL is for. working as well without it [18:56] https://kura.io/2010/01/13/howto-debian-sudoers-explained/ [18:57] frogblue: what second all? [18:57] test ALL=(ALL) [18:57] after = [18:58] any host [18:58] that's the first [18:58] as any user [18:58] sorry i'm tired [18:59] can't understand "is the user(s) to allow the user to run commands as " [19:00] frogblue: what? [19:00] 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] histo a sentence i found in a web page explaining sudo [19:00] frogblue: yeah Let's them run as any user [19:01] s/Let's/lets/ [19:01] oh well. have this command working now, not going to blow my neurons [19:01] histo, still don't get [19:01] it's tricky. if you man sudoers and scroll down quite a bit for some of the examples it will make sense [19:02] hallyn_,zul, any ideas with GrueMaster's qemu-kvm issue? ^^ [19:03] GrueMaster: nope [19:03] sarnold: i mean nope [19:03] zul: thanks :) [19:03] histo, ok. had trouble understanding running as another user. understand now sudo -u anotheruser [19:04] guess am a bit tired as well :) [19:04] thx for the help [19:04] sarnold: GrueMaster: might just try 14.10 to see if that fixes it; [19:06] GrueMaster: you mean that you 'virsh edit domain', remove the numatune section, save and quit, and the numatune section gets re-added? [19:06] 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] 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] windows 2000? as in, 14 years old? [19:17] windows 2000, as in newer than xp [19:17] * hallyn_ is an optimist [19:18] 2000 was before XP. [19:25] toyotapie: hehe - win server 2k12r2 just came out, perhaps time for an update? ;) [19:26] jrwren: win2k arrived just before windows ME [19:27] jrwren: but then, win2k was based on the winnt platform, which arrived in winxp, so not that ugly as winme [19:28] True, but it's still really old in IT time. [19:28] jrwren: that is, the winnt platform arrived with OS/2, microsoft stole it and named it winnt 3.1 etc etc etc [19:30] 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] They evolved from there. [19:34] RoyK: i lived all that. I remember :) [19:34] jrwren: ;) [19:50] To be fair, the Windows 2000 server does what the customer wants it to do. [19:51] mainstream support for windows 2000 only ended 9 years ago [20:24] tohuw: you'd be better off with an ubuntu 8.04 than with win2k [20:25] RoyK: ? [20:25] oh, wrong highlight [20:25] perhaps [20:26] 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] `Fibz: just start mysqld with --skip-grant-tables [20:32] `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] `Fibz: or perhaps jfgfi ;) [20:34] <`Fibz> ? [20:36] http://justfuckinggoogleit.com/images/bart.gif [20:37] <`Fibz> if you dont have anything nice to say, perhapse keep it to yourself [20:39] `Fibz: I did give you a good advice [20:40] hallyn_: Sorry for not getting back, work laptop crashed - couldn't connect to my irc server (Quassel). [20:40] 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] But still, what is the numad daemon and where is it in the repo? Google had one reference to Fedora (shudder). [20:43] 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] 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] Yes originally. [21:02] It worked fine until we tried to bump it to 4 vcpus. [21:03] 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] hallyn_, do you know if libvirt recreates required sub-directories in its state path /var/lib/libvirt/ if they get removed? === thumper is now known as thumper-afk === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [22:08] adam_g: i think so... i've never had to re-create them myself when i've messed things up [22:09] hi [22:11] hi [22:12] 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] nothing else would ever be discsussed :) [22:12] right :) [22:14] sorry for off-topic, but how can I find a channel operator? [22:20] memoryleak_: the #ubuntu-ops channel has some [22:20] memoryleak_: in general, /msg chanserv access list #channelname ought to show you [22:22] sarnold: Thanks, that's very helpful! [23:19] uvt-kvm list shows a VM, but virsh with system or session doesn't list it [23:19] *doh* and immediately after asking, I remember virsh doesn't list inactive by default
