[03:24] <vychune> hello?

[03:26] <cfhowlett> vychune ask in #ubuntu or in ##linux
[06:31] <cloudman> hi, grub wants to update on a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04lts, can someone tell which I should choose, sry, noob here... http://postimg.org/image/ym5g1f4zj/full/
[08:22] <lordievader> Good morning.
[08:42] <byte> moin
[09:42] <sebastianlutter> I want to install virtualbox headless on ubuntu server 14.04 (without x11 dependencies if possible, will use rdp to manage guests). But the ose version as well as the puel version from oracle had x11 stuff as dependency. What is the most minimal way to install virtualbox on ubuntu server?
[10:56] <Macer> what is the best way to figure out what is eating up memory?
[10:56] <lordievader> Macer: htop is nice for that.
[10:56] <Macer> Swap:         8.0G       1.3G       6.7G
[10:56] <Macer> seems a bit high
[10:57] <Macer> wonder if zfs is eating up that much
[10:57] <Macer> but then again i have a few containers running
[10:58] <Macer> i'm willing to bet it's the zimbra container i'm running :)
[10:58] <histo> !atemyram | Macer
[10:59] <Macer> turkiss is msging spamming me
[10:59] <Macer> just throwing that out there.. i usually am +g but reconnected a while back
[11:00] <Macer> histo: it isn't the lack of ram that's bothering me...
[11:00] <Macer> it's the fact the swap is getting hit for 1.3GB ;)
[11:00] <cloudman> Hi can anyone recommend a comprehensive study book for running a ubuntu server?  Thanks.
[11:00] <cfhowlett> cloudman "the ubuntu server guide"
[11:01] <cloudman> ;)
[11:01] <histo> Macer: /ignore turkiss
[11:01] <Macer> histo: yeah i get that. i usually am +g irregardless it's just a spambot
[11:01] <histo> Macer: that page will explain it for you
[11:02] <Macer> histo: yeah i'm pretty accustomed to how ram works in linux. but i would still like to know why/where it is hitting the swap
[11:02] <Macer> lordievader: thanks... i'll try it out and look into it
[11:03] <histo> Macer: did you even read the page?
[11:04] <histo> Macer: pastebin your free -m output
[11:05]  * Macer facepalms ... yes. but it didn't explain anything new
[11:06] <Macer> the original question is what can i use to see what is eating memory... lordievader told me htop.. and he was right. i figured out what was eating memory. it was the zimbra container's java
[11:06] <Macer> my swap was getting tagged for 1.3-1.5GB
[11:06] <cfhowlett> cloudman http://www.amazon.com/Official-Ubuntu-Server-Book-3rd/dp/0133017532/ref=la_B001ILKDJI_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1404644737&sr=1-1
[11:10] <dasjoe> cloudman: I'd stick to the Uubuntu Server Guide, coupled with the community wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/
[11:11] <cfhowlett> cloudman this ^^^
[11:12] <dasjoe> !ops | turkiss is a spam bot
[11:13] <histo> dasjoe: more of a freenode issue
[11:14] <cloudman> ty
[11:15] <lordievader> Macer: Swap at 1.3 is nothing to worry about. Swap is not cleared as it is not efficient.
[12:41] <RoyK> Macer: how much memory?
[12:41] <omfgitsasalmon> Hi! Anyone here? I need a little help
[12:42] <cfhowlett> !ask|omfgitsasalmon
[12:43] <RoyK> !ops | turkiss, privmsg spamming
[12:45] <omfgitsasalmon> my old server recently kicked the bucket, and luckily, my hard disk didn't bite the dust. But unfortunately, when I boot from my hard disk, I'm unable to connect to the internet. ifconfig shows only a lo, and no eth0. I bought another disk and installed another copy of ubuntu. When I installed, wired network is working fine. Shows up as p1p3 instead of eth0.
[12:45] <omfgitsasalmon> Now, is there anyway I can re-run network config installation for the old drive because without eth0, I cannot run mysql and thus, is unable to recover my mySQL databases.
[12:46] <cfhowlett> !server|omfgitsasalmon
[12:46] <cfhowlett> DOH!  dammit/ignore me
[12:47] <omfgitsasalmon> eh?
[12:47] <omfgitsasalmon> I'm running ubuntu server, not ubuntu.
[12:47] <omfgitsasalmon> I know what the server franchise is
[12:47] <omfgitsasalmon> oh, I forgot to include. The old hard disk is running 12.04, the new OS is running 14.04
[12:48] <lordievader> omfgitsasalmon: Does the precise install load a driver for your network card?
[12:49] <omfgitsasalmon> lordievader: I have no idea, anyway to check. When booting up, it does show "configuring network" but results in a [FAIL]
[12:49] <lordievader> omfgitsasalmon: lspci -k|grep -A2 Network
[12:51] <omfgitsasalmon> displays nothing
[12:51] <omfgitsasalmon> okay, when I run sudo lshw -class network
[12:51] <omfgitsasalmon> it shows my new card
[12:51] <omfgitsasalmon> but shows "Network Disabled"
[12:51] <rau> omfgitsasalmon: Please stop abusing your return key, you subliterate asswipe.
[12:52] <cfhowlett> rau profanity is not required or allowed here - as you well know
[12:52] <lordievader> omfgitsasalmon: Wait,lspci doesn't show any network device?
[12:54] <omfgitsasalmon> nope
[12:55] <lordievader> omfgitsasalmon: Is this the same if you run lspci without any argument?
[12:56] <omfgitsasalmon> when I run lspci without any arg, it shows an Ethernet controller
[12:56] <omfgitsasalmon> but I think it's the controller for the OLD chasis.
[12:57] <omfgitsasalmon> lshw shows it as a Gigabit Ethernet Controller. Which is the old eth1, my new card is an ASUS built-in.
[12:57] <lordievader> omfgitsasalmon: That can hardly be.
[12:57] <dasjoe> omfgitsasalmon: check /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[12:57] <omfgitsasalmon> dasjoe: Vendor shows "Realtek" which is not the case.
[12:58] <dasjoe> omfgitsasalmon: just because you're using an on-board card doesn#t mean it's not a realtek chipset
[12:59] <omfgitsasalmon> I remember it not being a realtek when I run lshw with the new ubuntu.
[12:59] <omfgitsasalmon> let me just reboot into the new OS and run the same command
[12:59] <omfgitsasalmon> 1 sec
[13:03] <omfgitsasalmon> Hmm, You're right, It shows *-network Desc: Ethernet Interface. vendor: Realtek businfo: pci@000:03:00.0 logical name: p3p1 version: 0c serial: e0:3f:49:a3:**:**
[13:04] <RoyK> omfgitsasalmon: I'd use lshw over lspci any day, but good you found it...
[13:04] <dasjoe> omfgitsasalmon: oh, I just read your device shows up as p1p3 instead of eth0, that is expected behavior. Add "biosdevname=0" to your kernel command line to go back to eth0
[13:05] <omfgitsasalmon> dasjoe: When I boot into the old OS, it shows this * Starting configure network device [fail] then after starting a bunch of other devices. it fails at configuring virtual network devices. and it got stuck at "Waiting for network configuration" and then "Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration"
[13:05] <omfgitsasalmon> RoyK: Yes, I used to do lshw when troubleshooting spoilt hw, but this time I have no idea how to fix cause it's a total new chasis lol
[13:06] <omfgitsasalmon> dasjoe: Okay, I'll google how to do that
[13:06] <dasjoe> omfgitsasalmon: that could also be related to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[13:07] <RoyK> dasjoe: hm... yes - should be easy to remap there
[13:07] <omfgitsasalmon> ahh
[13:09] <omfgitsasalmon> dasjoe: Okay, it now shows eth0 and eth1, eth0 seems to be my old card. With the eth1 showing the same mac addr as the p3p1 of the new system. What and where do I add what?
[13:10] <RoyK> omfgitsasalmon: do you want to swap them?
[13:10] <RoyK> omfgitsasalmon: or have you removed the old eth0 card?
[13:11] <omfgitsasalmon> RoyK: This is a totally new chasis, my old chasis bit the dust, but I swapped the hard disk over. But now it lost network connectivity with ifconfig only showing lo and no eth0 nor eth1
[13:11] <dasjoe> omfgitsasalmon: I'm not sure what exactly you want to do. Did you remove the old eth0 and now want eth1 to take its place? Either remove 70-persistent-net.rules or edit it to your tastes
[13:12] <RoyK> omfgitsasalmon: ifconfig -a ?
[13:12] <dasjoe> omfgitsasalmon: also, "man interfaces" should help you with getting the system back online
[13:12] <omfgitsasalmon> dasjoe: So by removing the entire file it will regen on boot again? And my /etc/network/interfaces seems screwed as well showing eth0 and not eth1
[13:13] <RoyK> omfgitsasalmon: ifconfig alone only shows interfaces in the up status
[13:13] <omfgitsasalmon> RoyK: with the a arg, it shows eth1 and lo
[13:13] <dasjoe> omfgitsasalmon: your /etc/network/interfaces can stay the way it is. Your old card was added to 70-persistent-net.rules and thus blocks the name "eth0". Just delete its line and rename eth1 to eth0 in the other line
[13:14] <RoyK> omfgitsasalmon: then just remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot
[13:14] <RoyK> or what dasjoe said
[13:14] <omfgitsasalmon> when I do ifup eth1, it gives an error saying my /etc/network/interface:9 misplaced option
[13:14] <omfgitsasalmon> ok
[13:14] <omfgitsasalmon> let me test this out
[13:14] <omfgitsasalmon> do I remove /etc/network/interfaces too ?
[13:14] <rau> omfgitsasalmon: Please stop abusing your return key, you crude loser.
[13:15] <omfgitsasalmon> oh wait, it's fixed now.
[13:16] <omfgitsasalmon> Found out there's a double line in /etc/network/interface. Now after doing an ifup, the eth1 is up
[13:16] <omfgitsasalmon> I'll still delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules just to be safe though
[13:16] <RoyK> omfgitsasalmon: fix /etc/network/interfaces - don't remove it. for udev to fix the device naming, just remove the rules file and reboot
[13:18] <omfgitsasalmon> RoyK: Yes, I fixed the interfaces file
[13:18] <omfgitsasalmon> and deleted the rules file
[15:16] <samba35> my  ubuntu server 12.04 on vmware esxi has some problem and i want to repair with reinstall how i should reinstall
[15:22] <RoyK> samba35: what problem?
[15:22] <RoyK> !ask | samba35
[15:23] <Patrickdk> I guess his esxi doesn't allow him to mount a cdrom file and boot from it
[15:23] <samba35> i mess with dpkg while repair cache ( run rm )
[15:24] <RoyK> Patrickdk: it does
[15:24] <RoyK> Patrickdk: oh - no - not a file on a cdrom - that probably won't work
[19:49] <phunyguy> hello
[19:49] <phunyguy> hi
[19:49] <phunyguy> test
[19:49] <phunyguy> 1
[19:49]  * rau raises an eyebrow at phunyguy.
[19:49] <phunyguy> 2
[19:52] <lordievader> phunyguy: Nice one. Thank you.
[19:52] <phunyguy> :)
[19:52] <phunyguy> saw it in another channel
[19:53] <lordievader> phunyguy: He had offensive behaviour all day in multiple channels.
[19:53] <phunyguy> it was being a nuisance in #owncloud, and a whois revealed it was in here.
[19:53] <phunyguy> so I tested it
