DeltaHeavyHey, The first thing I tried doing with my DigitalOcean VPS is update. Does anybody know why all the PPAs are 404ing? - http://paste.ubuntu.com/9690644/01:41
DeltaHeavyHere's my /etc/apt/sources.list - http://paste.ubuntu.com/9690649/01:41
DeltaHeavyAny help would be much appreciated! Never had this happen before and I'm not seeing any information about outages.01:42
cryptodanthat means they are no longer available01:51
sarnoldDeltaHeavy: check ipv4 vs ipv6; my ipv4-only connection seems to show it working fine: http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/01:58
sarnoldwell, by "working" I mean "it looks like it should work", I haven't actually aimed my apt at it.01:58
sarnoldDeltaHeavy: but your errors are with ipv6 addresses, maybe their server isn't serving it over ipv6?01:58
DeltaHeavysarnold: I ended up reimaging it and it works now. Sorry for not letting you know.01:58
DeltaHeavyConnecting via IPv6 still01:59
sarnoldDeltaHeavy: interesting. very curious..01:59

phroa`'ello, a page on the wiki told me this might be a place to look for mail server assistance. my server apparently likes to send mail as 'phroa@ubuntu' which I'd prefer to change to an actual hostname. I can't imagine why it's doing that; nothing says ubuntu in postfix nor dovecot settings, /etc/mailname is correct, /etc/hostname too. any advice?05:14
phroa`oh fancy that05:57
phroa`I turned the server off and on again. worked05:57
MagicMysticphroa`: :-)06:09
phroa`apparently, hostname changes require restarts...06:09
phroa`fancy that. postfix doesn't just read from the file when I restart the service06:10
phroa`did I say fancy that twice06:10

londoncallingHey, kind of newbie question but I'm having real trouble creating a user that doesn't throw random errors.14:19
londoncallingI'm using 14.04. and know it is not good to use root. So I created a new user but when I login to that user, it gives a bash-profile error and I can't seem to edit any config files. Any suggestions?14:21
kblinhi folks14:21
lordievaderDid you create a home dir for the user?14:21
pmatulislondoncalling: reproduce it and put everything into a pastebin and share it with us14:23
kblinI'm currently trying to install 14.04 amd64 on a system with a hardware-raid. using the ncurses-based installer I can properly partition the drives and all, but installing the base system fails with a dependency error on the kernel14:23
kblinany idea how to fix this?14:23
londoncallingpmatulis http://pastebin.com/GTUid9LG14:24
londoncallingI've looked both the errors up but not come up with anything.14:24
londoncallingMy orginal task was to set up SSH-key authentication, which I have done before but can't seem to now...14:25
pmatulislondoncalling: no.  create the user again.  include in pastebin.  everything.14:25
pmatulisall commands14:25
pmatulisand all output14:25
kblinthe exact error is "linux-server depends on linux-image-generic (= 3.13.0.43.50); however: Package linux-image-generic is not configured yet"14:28
londoncallingpmatulis, ok well this is the result of trying to copy my ssh key to the server which is what i was originally trying to do http://pastebin.com/VwYNbkRz14:28

Tobbe-82|ServerHi Guys, I'm getting closer to getting my private intranet fully online. I've managed to get an online url to succesfully try to open up webroot on my local machine. Only problem now is that I'm getting permission denied issues. My gut is that I need to open the webroot (files and subfolders) up to industry standard file permissions by adding them to a www-data group but not sure about16:14
Tobbe-82|Serverthe specific commands involved or what the this is properly called so I need a pointer or two :)16:14

coreycbzul, jamespage: cinder test updates, if one of you can review - https://code.launchpad.net/~corey.bryant/cinder/2015.1-b1-0ubuntu3/+merge/24587716:27
Tobbe-82|ServerSo when I work with chown and chmod commands to open up my webroot to normal www usage do I add my Root:Root user, my MyUserName:MyUserName or www-data:www-data to the folder permissions?   I've run all the installs via my MyUserName account with sudo su priviliges thus far16:28
Tobbe-82|ServerOk so I'm not getting it to work, when I first hooked up Dyn DNS to my server and could access it via FTP I got the standard apache2 index page in var land. So I changed the default www folder to reflect that of my site in /var land. I'm getting the following error message in my browser: FORBIDDEN   You don't have permission to access / on this server.17:02
Tobbe-82|Serverok it seems that most of my folders in www is owned by Root. is this correct?17:25
lordievaderTobbe-82|Server: Usually /var/www is owned by www-data (apache runs as www-data).17:45
patdk-wkno, not really17:46
patdk-wkusually readable by group www-data17:46
patdk-wkbut writable, depends, personally I wouldn't trust apache to write to that folder17:46

rostamHI I am using ubuntu 14.0.  I get this error when I try to stop a daemon from running.  initcl: Job failed while stopping      How could I debug this please?20:15
sarnoldrostam: can you pastebin the whole thing?20:16
rostamsarnold,  Here it is:  paste.ubuntu.com/969473420:18
sarnoldrostam: interesting, are there any errors in the logs?20:19
sarnoldrostam: perhaps the 'stop' instructions don't stop the sevice in time, or don't stop it cleanly; if you're lucky there's some handy logs to tell you what went wrong20:19
rostamsarnold,  I checked syslog no entries on this failure.20:20
sarnoldrostam: how about any apex-specific logs?20:21
rostamsarnold,  so far none, may be I should place some debug statement find out why?  By the way the Stop command send a signal to daemon to terminated it?20:22
sarnoldrostam: it might depend if the service is prepared to gracefully terminate when it receives that signal20:23
rostamsarnold,  I see, then the issue must be at apex side. Thanks20:24
sarnoldrostam: it certainly could be20:24
rostamsarnold,  does upstart has debugging capabilities that I can turn on and give me more info?20:25
sarnoldrostam: lots, though I don't know which ones would be most useful right now http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#debugging20:26

rostamHI I am using ubuntu 14.04, looking for a package that has edid-rw or any official package that could override EDID on the GPU card on our system21:46
bekksJust create an xorg.conf file and manually configure your display.21:47
rostambekks,  Is there any sample example you could help me please?21:48
bekksrostam: Which GPU do you have, in particular, and which driver are you using?21:49
rostambekks the isue is if we don't override we can boot due to secure boot and GPU which requires to have display connected.   We are using AMD 5000 GPU.21:50
RoyKdoes anyone use X on servers?21:50
bekksrostam: And why do you need to override your EDID settings?21:52
PiciNot on Ubuntu/Debian.  For some reason a bunch of the RHEL servers we have at work have desktops running on them.  I try to stay clear of those though.21:52
rostambekks, our system is headless and boots in secure mode. But if there is no display connected GPU stop the boot process at very early stage of boot. AMD has told us by overriding EDID on GPU we should be able to boot...21:53
qhartmanI'm rebuilding an Ubuntu isntallation on a Dell R510, and the pages I'm used to getting the OMSA repo information from at https://linux.dell.com/repo/community/ubuntu is throwing a 404.22:06

maxwellthats it22:19
maxwellalso, does NFS use CPU?22:23
bekksOf course. As does every process :)22:24
maxwellwell, does having alot of CPU mean I need a otherworldly CPU?22:24
maxwellI mean alot of read/write22:25
maxwellbekks ?22:29
maxwellwhat do extra read/writes effect in NFS? CPU, RAM, or just disk?22:33
maxwellIts just that I would like to minimize the bottlenecks22:33
bekksCPU, RAM and disk.22:33
maxwellso all of them?22:34
qhartmanmaxwell, there's almost no way anyone here can give you a clear answer with the information you've provided. It really depends on your workload.22:35
qhartmanIf you are trying to spend as little as possible, your best bet is to experiment with what you have on hand and establish some kind of baseline, then go from there if it doesn't meet your needs.22:36
maxwellwell, say there are 2 webservers running ubuntu server 14.04 running on virtual disks hosted via NFS22:37
qhartmanagain, that is not nearly enough information. Are they running and idle? Are they handling 10k TPS? are they serving raw html? Are they rendering stuff on the fly? Are you using a caching layer? Etc, etc.22:37
qhartmanYou could do what you are describing with a handful of raspberry pi's.22:38
qhartmanand depending on your actual workload, that might be sufficient.22:38
maxwellwell, say they have 100 users that are streaming video22:38
bekks"Two webservers". I've seen webserver having no hits in 2 months, and webservers having 3 million hits a day.22:38
qhartmanwhat kind of video? What's the bitrate per stream? how many streams?22:39
maxwellHD video22:39
bekks"HD video" means nothing.22:39
bekksBitrate, stream count and available bandwidth are important.22:39
qhartmanAgain, your best bet is to get something, anything, working, and start testing and benchmarking. If you establish that it works, great, you're done. If not, you can know that what you have is too little in a certain area and know what you need to change.22:41
maxwellI understand qhartman22:41
qhartmanUNLESS, you have very specific and detailed workload metrics.22:41
maxwelllets say 2 running servers doing 2MB/s of read and 2MB/s of write each at the same time22:42
bekksThats not "much" IO at all.22:43
qhartmanjust about anything modern should be able to handle that22:43
bekksThats almost idling.22:43
qhartman^ +122:43
maxwellmhm22:43
maxwellgod22:43
maxwell*good22:43
bekksAnd 2MB/s with 100 users - that cant be HD video streaming :D22:43
sarnoldyou'll finally have to upgrade off that old 10baseT equipment :)22:43
maxwellwell, say 100MB/s read and 100MB/s write22:43
qhartmanThat's starting to hit the limits of a Gb link22:44
bekksmaxwell: well, say: stop guessing :)22:44
maxwellqhartman, I know. I just want to make sure the hardware isn't a botleneck22:44
qhartmanmaxwell, you won't know until you try.22:45
bekksmaxwell: You cant test that out in IRC.22:45
maxwellok fine.22:45
maxwellI understand22:45
qhartmanAnd, speaking for myself, I'm not trying to be confrontational or anything, it's just really not possible to give you good answers to your questions. The problem space isn't defined enough.22:47
