[00:01] <hurin> ok, have a nice day o/
[03:33] <computer1> hi i am having some issues installing ubuntu really need help :(
[03:34] <computer1> i have an error report...
[03:34] <computer1> http://fpaste.org/137075/
[03:49] <computer1> please help :(
[03:49] <computer1> http://pastebin.com/PvTevdRi
[03:49] <computer1> http://fpaste.org/137075/
[04:24] <computer1> any ideas where i could get some assistance?
[05:31] <clepto> i have slow lan speeds currently. every test i have done shows i should be able to do gigabit but im stuck at 100mb. i have a pastebin of some of the diagnostics i did here...  http://pastebin.com/2y8hzsN6
[05:32] <clepto> im not running the specific server build but i am running it as a headless unit and managing over SSH any help would be appreciated.
[05:35] <clepto> also its 14.04.1 i think
[05:36] <clepto> yeah 14.04.1 LTS
[06:06] <computer1> clepto please us tell more about your problems..
[06:07] <bekks> computer1: Does the switch your headless unit is connected to support Gigabit, too? As well as the cable used?
[06:08] <clepto> computer1: my lan wont run at gigabit speeds. i have a cat5e cable i have a gigabit router and a gigabit network card. but it will only run at 100 mbit
[06:08] <clepto> my network card is a RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
[06:10] <clepto> computer1: what other information would be useful? i was running at gigabit under Mint 13 but i chamged  to ubuntu 14.04.1 and it hasnt worked right since
[06:11] <clepto> bekks: yes it does.
[06:14] <computer1> did you make sure that your Ubuntu machine is not running updates or other chores in the background?  Monitor with top or htop.
[06:14] <clepto> yes, its not according to ethtool its only running at 100mbit
[06:15] <computer1> did you make sure your cabling and connections are Cat6? Although Cat5e can handle gigabit traffic (350 MHz bandwidth), Cat6 is really needed to ensure full duplex performance.
[06:16] <Gregor3000> hello, if i install on 4GB PC with about 300MB or 512MB swap parittion does the swap partition actually get used?
[06:16] <clepto> computer1: no i dont have cat6 cable i only have 5e but as i stated it was working before on mint13. im not to worried about full capability but im using it as a file server. and 10 MB transfer speeds is stupidly slow
[06:18] <clepto> computer1: i was getting 100MB transfiers before i changed to ubuntu
[06:18] <bekks> Gregor3000: You'll need swap == RAM when your are going to use hibernation/suspend.
[06:20] <computer1> do the linux drivers for your network card need tweaking or are too generic to support higher bandwidth?
[06:21] <clepto> computer1: i honestly dont know. i am a bit noobish
[06:22] <Gregor3000> besides from that? and on a server. it will have /swap later when disks arrive, but for now i will try the server out on USB. and i was thiking of going with small /swap and am i correct in assuming that swap will not actualyl be used much at all (until it goes into hibernation)
[06:27] <Gregor3000> ok i see i can just reduce swapiness to 10 and it should start usign /swap when ram is occupied 90% which i doubt it will happen over test
[09:03] <lordievader> Good morning.
[10:57] <Norlander> Anyone knows the name of an application/script that reads a log-file and creates a www-link for it that one can refer to when troubleshooting a system?
[10:57] <Norlander> Please send a PM..
[10:57] <bekks> !pastebin | Norlander
[10:59] <gregor3000> ive installed server to USB stick from Cd rom on my desktop. i then moved the USB stick to the server and booted, but it can't connect to network it just says on boot that it's waiting for network  configuration and then it botos without it
[10:59] <gregor3000> problem is i do not have USb keboard to troubleshoot on the server, so i can only see what happens on it
[11:00] <bekks> gregor3000: Without a keyboard, you cannot fix it.
[11:00] <gregor3000> i can not check any files over there. so i moved the usb Stick back to desktop and when i check 70-persistent.net.rules
[11:00] <gregor3000> i can see the mac address is from desktop
[11:00] <gregor3000> i tried deleting the file hoping the server will solve it bz itself on boto but doesn-t seem it helped
[11:01] <gregor3000> well i am stuck then. any logs i could check maybe?
[11:01] <gregor3000> it is a software erro though, right?
[11:01] <bekks> gregor3000: the solution would have been to replace the desktop MAC with the server MAC.
[11:04] <gregor3000> i guess i need to buy one then
[11:04] <bekks> ?
[11:05] <bekks> you dont have to buy anything to replace a mac a ddress in a text file.
[11:05] <bekks> *file
[11:05] <lordievader> I think he is talking about a keyboard.
[11:06] <bekks> The mac address is to be found on a small sticker somewhere on or in the server and the text file can be created/edited on the desktop.
[11:06] <bekks> Just deleting that file will not help.
[11:07] <gregor3000> ah... let me check the box then.
[11:08] <gregor3000> there is onlz serial number and PID
[11:09] <gregor3000> aha its on motherboard but hard to see
[11:21] <gregor3000>    hmm anything else thta needs to be changes in some other place maybe? i i changed the mac. wife was able to read it from the motherboard
[11:22] <gregor3000> i then saved that file and still the same thing. i installed SSH server hoping i could later do it all over network...
[11:22] <bekks> gregor3000: Do you have a DHCP server running in your network?
[11:24] <gregor3000> modem/router is asigning IP's. so far i only installed servers into virtualbox to try it out and used bridged conneciton there. it all worked automatically there
[11:25] <gregor3000> DHCP is hwo IPs are sssigned
[11:26] <gregor3000> server has some option to change mac or soething liek that i only saw it really fast on boot
[11:27] <gregor3000> if this is juts a software OS issue it is not such a porblme as i know i can solve it in soem way but if this show to possiblel hardware issue then i am concerned
[11:39] <gregor3000> i rebooted back on desktop and well now the connection is gone there as well. however i did see that it atuomatically asigned eth1 with the mac address form the desktop. and probably with a few commands i could get the network there back. the qeustion is why the server network is not working.... hmmm. ok need to eat now. maybe i will continue troubleshooting later on
[11:39] <gregor3000> by for now
[11:39] <gregor3000> bye
[13:13] <RoyK> any idea how to get bugs like bug 1171945 or 1364091 fixed upstream? Both contain fixes, and the former has had a working fix attached for over a month now
[13:17] <RoyK> bug 1364091 is rather nasty too...
[16:03] <aandy> hi guys. i have what appears to be an odd request, and i can't figure out what to search for, so if someone knows what it's called, i'd appreache the pointer :) i have a LAN, with a DHCP and according LAN ip range. i want an interface to "pretend" to be a certain IP (out of bounds of LAN), similarly to what an arpspoofing (lan only) would do, or a ifconfig alias (localhost only?). i'd just route that ip through the specific interface, but the problem
[17:17] <bastidrazor> sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.21/Music /mnt/Music -o user=user,password=password  .. windows shared folder attempting to mount on my server. I get mount error(13): Permission denied.
[17:22] <lordievader> bastidrazor: Is the user allowed to read that mount?
[17:26] <bastidrazor> lordievader: yes, the username provided is the owner of the shared folder. also the /mnt/Music is rwx for all
[17:27] <bastidrazor> lordievader: also owned by the user attempting to mount.
[17:28] <bastidrazor> lordievader: before i installed cifs-utils i was getting a :could not mount block device read-only
[17:29] <lordievader> Is the host a Windows machine or a Linux machine?
[17:30] <bastidrazor> host is windows 7. server is 14.04
[17:30] <lordievader> The one providing the share is that Windows or Linux?
[17:31] <bastidrazor> windows
[17:32] <lordievader> bastidrazor: Does /var/log/syslog tell you anything more about the permission denied?

[17:33] <bastidrazor> my windows credentials are wrong?..
[17:34] <lordievader> bastidrazor: Looks like it.
[17:40] <Slyboots_> Evening
[17:40] <Slyboots_> Im curious, anyone aware of a cli/ncurses based FTP client that supports multipart?
[17:48] <bastidrazor> lordievader: windows isn't accepting the correct credentials.
[17:49] <lordievader> bastidrazor: Perhaps the Windows Event logger can tell you why?
[17:59] <bastidrazor> lordievader: it appears windows is accepting the connections
[18:03] <lordievader> bastidrazor: Of course, else it cannot deny the authentication ;)
[18:03] <bastidrazor> haha
[18:21] <bastidrazor> lordievader: i changed my username on my windows box after the initial setup of windows 7. I had to use the original username instead of the new name.
[18:22] <bastidrazor> lordievader: thanks for the hints
[18:22] <lordievader> bastidrazor: No problem ;)
[18:23] <bastidrazor> lordievader: the logs did not show any of this. looking in user accounts tipped me off.
[18:46] <tonymke> What's the proper way to give daemon users access to ssl certs in /etc/ssl?
[18:57] <vedic> Hey guys, I have been installing some packages via source and now looking to create service for it to start/stop/restart/status etc. What is the right way? Could you direct me to appropriate tutorial for learn it
[18:58] <lordievader> vedic: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/
[19:00] <vedic> lordievader: Is there any beginner tutorial which I can consume in an hour or two and then use that link as reference?
[19:01] <lordievader> vedic: Err, a pre-existing upstart script?
[19:01] <vedic> lordievader: hmm...
[19:53] <vedic> In a upstart script, how to check if a directory exists or not and if not create it and set permission and ownership
[19:57] <Patrickdk> heh? the same way you would do it :)
[20:01] <lordievader> vedic: It's just bash scripting ;)
[20:02] <Patrickdk> no it's not
[20:02] <Patrickdk> it's just dash scripting
[20:02] <lordievader> Patrickdk: What is the difference between dash and bash?
[20:03] <Patrickdk> bash added LOTS of extra crap to it
[20:03] <Patrickdk> note: bashisms :)
[20:06] <vedic> Patrickdk: In this, what is "install -d -m" http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/53D9DB7B.8070600@streethawk.com
[20:06] <vedic> It should be mkdir and chmod and chown
[20:07] <Patrickdk> you have heard of man right?
[20:07] <Patrickdk> man install
[20:23] <vedic> Patrickdk: ok, I have created upstart script and checked its syntax is ok. But when I run "sudo start myscript" I get "Start: Unknown job: myscript" .    I have placed this myscript.conf into /etc/init/
[20:24] <Patrickdk> dunno what start is
[20:24] <Patrickdk> or what it has to do with upstart
[20:24] <Patrickdk> ah, guess it is the upstart manager, I just use service start
[20:25] <lordievader> vedic: try "sudo initctl start myscript"
[20:25] <vedic> lordievader: still same msg
[20:27] <lordievader> vedic: Does "sudo initctl reload-configuration&&sudo initctl list|grep myscript" return anything?
[20:27] <vedic> lordievader: no
[20:27] <vedic> I tried this command and doesn't return any output
[20:28] <lordievader> Are the right 644 root:root?
[20:28] <lordievader> rights*
[20:29] <vedic> lordievader: yea. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 671 Sep 29 01:50 /etc/init/myscript
[20:29] <vedic> /etc/init/myscript.conf (missed coping .conf)
[20:29] <vedic> 644 and root:root
[20:30] <lordievader> Hmm, could you pastebin your script?
[20:32] <vedic> lordievader: http://pastebin.com/5fbYDjtD
[20:34] <lordievader> Looks fine to me...
[20:34] <lordievader> vedic: Does your user upstart see it? (initctl list|grep myscript)
[20:35] <vedic> lordievader: no
[20:35] <vedic> lordievader: Looks like I need restart of my vm?
[20:36] <Patrickdk> heh?
[20:36] <lordievader> Perhaps, but I've had similar problems with this. And there a restart didn't fix it. But it is worth a shot I suppose.
[20:36] <Patrickdk> what is up with the pre-start before the start/stop on
[20:42] <vedic> Patrickdk: Is there anything wrong in the script?
[20:42] <Patrickdk> NORMALLY, dunno if required, pre-start comes after your start/stop lines
[20:45] <vedic> lordievader: still same thing after restart
[20:51] <vedic> lordievader, Patrickdk: Any ideas, how to solve this problem?
[20:52] <lordievader> No idea, my knowledge on that particular bit is lots of trial and error.
[20:52] <vedic> lordievader: Anyother standard approach than upstart you think people use
[20:53] <lordievader> The old init.d approach (which is also run by upstart)?
[20:58] <vedic> lordievader: It works now :).  pid file is not supported in recent versions of upstart
[20:58] <vedic> I just removed that line and it works
[20:58] <lordievader> Ah, good to know, thanks.
[20:59] <vedic> lordievader: Now I know how to write a simple upstart script :)
[21:04] <lordievader> vedic: Congratulations ;)
