superbootHi all. I'm installing a fresh install to replace an existing install of ubuntu server. I want to doze the old LVM. What commands can I use from this busybox environment? lvmremove isn't included...01:14
RoyKsuperboot: doze?01:20
ianorlinsuperboot: do you mean completey get rid of the lvm01:28
ianorlinsuperboot: maybe try creating a new parition table but not quite sure what command to do for that01:30
ianorlinsuperboot: do you have vgremove?01:32
BTJusticeI made a USB boot install using Startup Disk Creator in regular Ubuntu and used to Ubuntu Server .ISO for the source as I want to try it.  When I boot from the USB stick and start the installer, it nags about needing the CD mounted.  Any way around that?01:40
qman__Use the net install image instead01:41
BTJusticeAlright and what exactly are HWE backport kernels?01:42
qman__They're newer kernels back pored to the older releases01:43
BTJusticeNot sure if I should use that or not.01:43
qman__You should01:43
BTJusticeAlright I will download that one.  Thanks.01:44
qman__Newer kernels add hardware support and features01:44
qman__Unless you have a specific need for an older kernel, installing those is a good idea01:44
BTJusticeSo I just need the mini.iso and use that with the Startup Disk Creator?01:44
qman__Yes, and toward the end of the install it will give you a menu of things to install01:45
qman__For Ubuntu server, you want to select "Basic Ubuntu Server"01:45
BTJusticeAlright.  Thanks again.01:46
superbootianorlin: Thanks for responding. I figured it out with a combonation of pvremove, vgremove, lvremove, and fdisk.01:55
superbootianorlin: Thanks again.01:55

YamakasYok, 55 here08:47
YamakasYlordievader: update your apt cache :P08:47
YamakasYnope 55 is not installed08:48
lordievaderNevermind, both are mentioned.08:48
YamakasYsame error08:48
YamakasYI get the feeeling that paths are changed08:49
YamakasYat least I tried to change them manually and I got further08:49
lordievaderYeah, the path doesn't exactly match.08:49
YamakasY:(08:50
YamakasYmeh08:50
lordievaderPerhaps http://wiki.kartbuilding.net/index.php/Anyterm helps?08:50
YamakasYoeh, didn't found that yet08:51

YamakasYlordievader: this is so weird https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=91387708:52
YamakasYlordievader: mhh no go09:20
lordievaderHmm, that is too bad. I'm afraid I cannot help you then.09:25

YamakasYlordievader: nope, checked09:27
YamakasYit's kinda old, there is now ajaxterm09:27
YamakasYbut I need any :S09:27
skyliteI see a gap in time and four lines of ^@^@^@ characters in the all the log files at the same time. What does this indicate?09:42
lordievaderskylite: Usually a crash.09:42
skylitehow can I detect what caused the crash without logs? :/09:43
lordievaderskylite: Does it reboot on kernel panics? If so, disable that and wait for it to crash again then look at the stack trace. (I know this ain't great advice)09:44

hiwkHow can I install ubuntu server over serial?10:11
hiwkI can boot from USB, but it tries to launch things on some vga port (which I understand is a sensible default)10:12
rbasakYou need to give it some kernel parameters on boot I think.10:13
hiwkrbasak: sure. do I need to unpack the iso, modify it and recreate it?10:15
lordievaderYou can edit the kernel parameters on a live-usb boot too.10:15
rbasakhiwk: you could do that. Might be easier to arrange a netboot.10:16
lordievaderOr at least in the menu unetbootin creates you can.10:16
hiwklordievader: which image should I use then?10:16
lordievaderhiwk: Hmm, according to [1] you do need to edit files. Perhaps a netboot is easier, indeed. [1]: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto10:17
lordievaderElse you need to unpack the iso -> unpack the squashfs -> make changes -> pack squashfs -> create iso.10:18
hiwklordievader: I've seen thath [1] before, but it only seems to be about an already installed system. I need somthing (e.g. grub) to present itself on the serial console to get there :)10:24
hiwkI see if I can find a vga monitor somewhere to bootstrap with, but it seems strange that this would be so disabled for a server installation10:27
lordievaderMy vm's boot with the serial options, I do not get to see grub. However I did need to modify those files to get it going.10:29
hiwkyes, (via vga+keyboard) adding console=ttyS0,115200n8 did launch the installation guide on the serial console10:33
hiwkthat would be really convinient to be able to access elsewise :)10:33

smosersmb`, around ?14:32
smoseri really, really hate multipath14:32
smoserhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/11762474/ <-- i'd like some help with lines ~2716 there.14:33
smosercurtin partitions a disk (/dev/sda), installs to it... runs 'blkid'14:33
smosertelling blkid to ignore cache (by removing the files it would have)14:33
* smb` looks14:33
smoserand then even tries 'sync' and doing it again.14:34
smoserit *should* see a /dev/sdg2 (or some value of 'g') that has the same data as sda2 does.14:34
smoseroh fiddle.14:34
smb`only if you rereadpt on sdg14:34
smoseri probably need to tell the kernel to re-read partition information on  that disk.14:35
smb`yep14:35
smoserdid i say i hate multipath ?14:35
smb`blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdg14:35
smb`I think you may have mentioned it before14:35
smosersmb`, what is really fun about this is that code works perfectly fine on trusty and vivid.14:35
smoserbut not wily14:36
smosersmb`, i guess before, i thought that blkid actually opened /dev/block-device14:37
smoserand read the partition information itself, and seeked to partition starts and read data there ...14:37
smoserbut i guess not14:37
smb`No I think not. Likely only walks through what is in sysfs which is the kernels current impression of reality14:38
smosersmb`, so what garbage is causing this to work on trusty and vivid14:40
smoserwhat fun this is.14:40
smb`smoser, So you say you change the partition table of sda and blkid without arguments finds the partition layout on the other disk?14:44
smoseryeah14:44
smoserreliably14:44
smosernote, itsnot immiediately after.14:44
* smb` looks doubting14:44
smoseri've done a large tar -S to the filesystme that i made on that partition14:45
smoserand then written 8G ofzeros into tha tfileysstme for the swap..14:45
smoserie, huge amount of time has passed14:45
smb`smoser, but for the kernel those two disks are independent. something has to trigger updating the partition info on the other device in some way14:47
smosersmb`, i'm not making this stuff up :)14:51
smoserwhat you're saying makes sense, but differs by fairly extensive amount of logs and data i've collected.14:52
smb`smoser, you know us guys. we not trust anybody anywhere14:52
smb`:)14:52
smosers/differs by/differs from the/14:52
smb`Maybe some magic udev rule. But I really could not explain it right now14:53

jamespagecoreycb, zul: emailed the TB to request a MRE for oslo packages - seems to make sense to me16:22
coreycbjamespage, yes that does make sense16:23
jamespagecoreycb, I was wondering about the clients as well16:23
jamespagejust patch releases mind16:23
jamespagecoreycb, zul: there appear to be stable branchs for >= kilo16:24
jamespagehmm16:24
RoyKjamespage: oslo packages?16:25
coreycbjamespage, I'd think the clients make sense too then16:27
jamespageRoyK: yeah - shared Openstack bits and pieces16:29

yottatsaHello20:32
yottatsaIs it right place to ask about Ubuntu Cloud Archive?20:32
smoseryottatsa, sure.20:41

DonRichieCan somebody recommend a pastebin software with syntax highlighting and maybe a little bit eye candy?21:49
tracphilI have a preseed file for Trusty that runs a script in-target. eth0 is a dhcp IP. This script sets up a static public IP on eth0:0 and echos the following: echo 'source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*.cfg' >> /etc/network/interfaces Once the server reboots, this line is no longer in the file.21:49
tracphilThis works without issue on Jessie. For the life of me, I can't figure out what is going on.21:50
tracphilAlso, in the same script, just to make sure the echo is working... before the system reboots, I did this: cat /etc/network/interfaces >> /root/postinstall21:54
tracphiland the contents are there as expected21:54

omfgtorawhen installing ubuntu-14.04.2-server-amd64, i select OpenSSH server and LAMP, but i cant connect via SSH23:22
omfgtorai tried installing twice, what stupid thing am i doing wrong?23:22
sarnoldomfgtora: if you're installing it ina vps environment like amazon ec2, you may need to modify their firewall rules to allow incoming ssh23:23
sarnoldomfgtora: for ec2 you'd look for e.g. security groups23:23
jpdsomfgtora: You know that you van install a single package for that?23:23
omfgtorajust an old poweredge 1800 i have23:23
sarnoldahh23:23
jpdsomfgtora: sudo apt-get install openssh-server23:23
omfgtoradid that23:24
omfgtorano difference23:24
sarnoldomfgtora: dang that means you get to do the full gamut of debugging :) check dmesg to see if it reports anything about ethernet, use ip addr list, ip route list, etc, to make sure the configuration is what you expect..23:24
omfgtoracool, so i'm not just dumb (even though i am)23:24
sarnoldwell, enough people miss the security groups that it's worth starting with that :) hehe23:25
sarnoldI'm not bitter because it cost me an hour, no sir, not me23:25
omfgtoralol23:30
omfgtorawell, it seems i have a new problem23:36
omfgtorathe network apparently requires authentication23:36
omfgtoranever needed it before...23:36
omfgtoracant seem to be able to run apt-get update23:36
teward"the network apparently requires authentication"23:51
tewardomfgtora: explain "cant seem to be able to run apt-get update"23:51
tewardas it is it's V A G U E so it's impossible to diagnose/debug23:51
omfgtorai was just explaining my frustration. i wasnt really asking for help... yet23:52
omfgtoranot done googling23:52
* teward returns to trying to set up snort to do pcap analysis23:53
