Patrickdkyes00:00
Patrickdkwhen you change the dns, you would also adjust the redirect00:00
PatrickdkI am assuming each webserver is a dns server though00:00
Patrickdkfor routing issues00:00
weeb1eIn certain cases, such as my own, when streaming audio over HTTP, not all clients support multiple (or in rare cases, any) redirects, the only option is DNS based00:00
Patrickdkthat way some of the internet can use one, and some of the internet hits the other00:00
xperiayes actually the one is a master and the other a slave but i can turn them both as masters00:01
weeb1ePatrickdk: I gave DNS as the first option, a web server based redirect is the second00:01
Patrickdkyes, but no reason you can't use both together :)00:01
weeb1eA third web server redirecting instead of using DNS changes will emilinate any downtime00:01
weeb1eBut is not always suitable00:01
Patrickdkand then add bgp anycast on top :)00:01
Patrickdkpersonally I normally do bgp anycast -> loadbalancers -> bankends00:01
weeb1eNot everyone is in a position to use anycast :)00:02
xperiabgp anycast hmm never hear till yet. thing is i dont want to balance i want to cascade aka use allways server 1 in case server 1 shutdown use server 200:02
weeb1eI'd love to use multicast, but my country not so much00:02
Patrickdkthen your stuck doing dns00:02
weeb1eSo YMMV00:02
RoyKIPv6 FTW!00:03
Patrickdkwhat? mobileip works? :)00:03
Patrickdkmobileip could so solve this :)00:03
RoyKIPv6 should be mandatory for all services00:03
xperiayeah dns is then the thing to go. thanks a lot for your suggestions.00:03

eatingthenighthello I am having an odd issue. I have gone through every issue I can find on google regarding networking for ubuntu server 12.04 but I can't ping from this server to an IP or even the gateway. I am able to ssh into it though and access the webserver it runs.01:41
eatingthenightI have tried using static and dhcp to no avail.01:42
sarnoldeatingthenight: do you get error messages when you try to ping the gateway's IP?01:43
eatingthenightno it will just hang I have left it for about 10 minutes and it just hangs.01:43
jak2000sarnold: http://pastie.org/943302901:44

xeno_Say, my friend is trying to set up a remote desktop experience on an Ubuntu Server.  He is trying to provide a remote desktop experience, but apparently there are access problems that allow shutdown of the server which he wants to preclude and cannot.  Any suggestions?02:01
xeno_I know from experience that Gnome is less than comfortable on server for my tastes, but that may not be pertinent to this.02:02
xeno_Typically my friend provides remote user access to servers for shell, but not root access at all.02:04
jak2000sarnold: http://pastie.org/943304902:04
sarnoldjak2000: nice. that's probably all of them :)02:07

sarnoldxeno_: oh. this looks more useful: http://askubuntu.com/a/251942/3381202:10

jak2000the default i have 14.04 version08:55
TJ-jak2000: the manual way would be to add a rule using iptables, but that won't stick across reboots unless you have some form of firewall manager, such as "ufw" or "shorewall" installed08:55
jak2000ithink ufw08:56
jak2000sudo ufw allow 8080/tcp   and   sudo ufw reload  ?08:57

RoyKpatdk-wk: btw, your theory that enterprise drives don't have these smart counters doesn't seem right. the two root drives connected to local sata ports are also seagate constellation, enterprise drives12:15
patdk-wkmy definition of enterprise disks was, ones that talk scsi, and non-enterprise talk ata12:43
patdk-wkgenerally that means sata=ata and sas=scsi12:43

weeb1e_When trying to start cpufrequtils, I get "disabled, governor not available...", googling this issue just returns tons of questions with no solutions. The most informative thread I found says that someone was able to fix it by downgrading to an older kernel, and that the newer kernel is bugged and the devs do not want to fix it13:43
weeb1e_But that was in 2011, I've used newer kernels on other boxes just fine13:44

lykwydchykynThe disk usage doesn't look high, but I'm not sure what normal would be16:40
arrrghhhhm ya it all seems processor bound16:40
arrrghhhran with root on atop as well yes?16:41
lykwydchykynYes16:41
sarnoldthe easiest way to chew up that kind of CPU time without it showing up in ps or top or similar is to have a few forkbombs running where the parent immediately exits after spawning a child; no process lasts more than a few miliseconds but there's thousands of them born and killed each second16:41
lykwydchykynMy ltsp users keep running ps all the time, is that normal?16:42
arrrghhhlykwydchykyn, the other thing I can think of is back in htop, have you tried sorting by "time"?  see if there is a process that's staying up?16:42
sarnoldlykwydchykyn: seems unlikely...16:43
lykwydchykynthe top process for time is a python process running twistd, seems to be related to epoptes16:43
lykwydchykynIt has 9:06:53 for TIME16:44
arrrghhh:/16:44
lykwydchykynNot sure what killing it would do16:44
sarnoldnine hours of CPU time for a heavily used service isn't too surprising..16:45
arrrghhhya I don't think that's it16:45
lykwydchykynwish I knew what was running ps all the time.  Is there a way to see parent pids in something like top?  I couldn't find it in the man page16:48
lykwydchykynThe processes disappear to quick to inspect their /proc folders16:49
sarnoldlykwydchykyn: hit 'f', arrow down to ppid, hit space, then q16:50
lykwydchykynHrm.  It's my xsession script16:52
sarnoldlykwydchykyn: if you're up for some work, you could install the auditd package, use auditctl to load syscall auditing rules and audit the 'clone' system call. if my guess is right, the logging will be horrendously quick, so be prepared to turn off the logging again before you run the command :)16:53
sarnoldlykwydchykyn: oooo16:53
lykwydchykynI have a line in there that checks to see if the browser is already running, and if not, it runs it.16:53
lykwydchykynBut it should only run if the browser is closed, which shouldn't happen really at all...16:53
sarnoldlykwydchykyn: can you pastebin your xsession?16:54
lykwydchykynhttp://pastebin.com/nSa7XpCW16:56
lykwydchykynIt's the same one that's been used for a while16:56
sarnoldlykwydchykyn: if you run wcgbrowser in a terminal, do you get your prompt back quickly? or do you have to kill the browser to get your prompt back?16:58
lykwydchykynYou have to kill the browser16:59
lykwydchykynIt should block16:59
sarnoldlykwydchykyn: dang.17:00
sarnoldlykwydchykyn: well, I mean, that's good, but it means I don't spot the easy answer :)17:00
lykwydchykyn:) yeah17:00
jak2000hi sarnold thanks for your help17:01
lykwydchykynI can't remember why I had to do the ps thing, it's been a while (I should comment these things).  Maybe I can just take that bit out.17:01
lykwydchykynI have to run for a bit; thank you sarnold and arrrghhh17:02
lykwydchykynI'll check back if anyone has any ideas...17:02
sarnoldlykwydchykyn: hrm. good point. take out the ps | grep ..17:03
sarnoldlykwydchykyn: another option is to take out the "keep it running" thing entirely -- let xsession end when the browser dies or is closed, and restart the session some other way17:04
jak2000sarnold you develop?17:07
sarnoldjak2000: not much; I audit, complain, and sometimes fix :)17:08

lykwydchykynMy LTSP users seem to have two .xsessions running18:32
lykwydchykynThe clients get rebooted every night, but the old sessions stay running; since they can't run the browser without the client attached, they just loop ps forever18:53

lykwydchykynYeah, but I need these to respawn if the browser gets closed for some reason19:01
sarnoldlykwydchykyn: can't you just let the xsession die and then have the session manager restart the whole thing?19:01
lykwydchykynI suppose so; it just takes that much longer19:01
lykwydchykynBut all in all, it's probably a better appraoch19:02
lykwydchykynI'll test that on my dev system19:02
lykwydchykynI've been killing off the superfluous .xsessions, the effect on the cpu usage is dramatic19:03
