[00:16] I am facing an issue with my cmos resetting to 2009-01-01 time as mention hear http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/286845-help-cmos-resetting-problem.html [00:17] I checked my CMOS battery and its voltage shows 3.3v. [00:17] I dont see any issue with CMOS battery.. any other suggestions? [00:19] measuring the voltage of a battery without a load usually doesn't work [00:19] you might as well just replace the thing outright as a first troubleshooting step, they're only a few bucks [00:22] sarnold: I checked with load and without load.. they are much identical.. [00:23] Yes.. but before replacing I want to conform if that is a CMOS battery issue.. [00:24] I have total 200 ubuntu boxes which are running and I see this issue on 20 boxes [00:24] were they all bought at the same time? :) [00:25] it really could be a software issue, if something is setting the time on your running systems to six years ago, and then running hwclock --set [00:25] At different times, different times deployments and present in different locations. but with same configuration. [00:25] but I think dual-boot systems have severe trouble with hwclock --set, so I don't think it's acutally used by default any more [00:26] sarnold: If I am not wrong, ntp will set hardware clock right? [00:26] if you never set the clock, and hever use hwclock --set, could be an issue, but it should never reset to 01-01 again though [00:26] neonixcoder: I don't think so, I think it only sets the software clock [00:26] it would atleast still be counting up [00:26] so the issue is with the rtc or the battery [00:26] it could be as simple as someone has the jumper on the clear cmos, still [00:27] neonixcoder: replace two or three of the twenty, see what happens; I bet those are fixed. [00:27] patdk-lap: hah :) [00:27] on my newer boards, it's just two solder pads [00:27] might be a solder bridge on them [00:27] no pins? [00:27] no pins [00:28] you just touch it with a screwdriver or something [00:28] I guess that was to keep people from leaving the jumper on [00:28] sarnold: sure will check on couple of machines before replacing all === markthomas is now known as markthomas|away === cipi is now known as CiPi [08:01] Good morning.

It's in main (ubuntu-server subscription) because it's a build-dep for qemu AFAICT. [11:05] bug 1483836 in acpica-unix (Ubuntu) "acpica-unix ftbfs on powerpc" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1483836 [11:05] hallyn: I can help you with the powerpc porter if you need it. === Guest55878 is now known as IdleOne === kickinz1|lunch is now known as kickinz1 [13:38] rbasak: after libvirt is straightened out [14:05] hallyn: np, thanks [14:09] zul: smb: if you have a minute, could you look over http://paste.ubuntu.com/12061910/ ? Final patch which I intend to push to libvirt this morning [14:09] hallyn, sure [14:11] hallyn: looks ok [14:12] ok thx [14:18] hallyn, Hm yeah nothing that immediately jumps out. Though large enough to be hard to say completely for sure [15:13] Hi, is there anybody to tell me with anacron 2.3 variable RANDOM_DELAY ? My job appears as "Will run job `test' in 1 min." in syslog but 1 mins is the period and RANDOM_DELAY=120 is ignored... :-/ [15:24] Should I stick my SSL settigns (ala disabling SSLv3) in my /etc/apache2/mods-__/mod_ssl.conf - or in my virtualhost? [15:24] seems like it should go in the module settings, but is that going to get axed by package management? === esde is now known as esde1 [15:49] Overand: put it in the ssl virtualhost === markthomas|away is now known as markthomas [16:43] Greetings all. I'm wondering if anyone has some suggections for setting up a reverse proxy [17:36] Dr_Apocalypse: study nginx === esde1 is now known as esde [18:17] Since I installed ubuntu i used bootstrap on a dir. So i'm not sure everything was installed correctly. [18:18] What is the default syslog used by ubuntu ? [18:19] ok enoughg google results seem to point to rsyslogd [18:24] Qantourisc: install the package "ubuntu-minimal" to get the basic system packages such as syslog and cron [18:24] tarpman: well, currently that would take ... I don't know ... 3 hours, so first installing some debug tools :p [18:24] but thanks [18:25] lxc is acting up weird somehow [18:25] aptitude/apt-get is verry slow, diks usage, it claims [18:26] Qantourisc: are you low on diskspace? [18:27] no but I did just add storage [18:27] things are usually rather slow if filesystems are almost full - leads to very fragmented filsystems (on all OSes) [18:27] also tty1 refuses root login [18:27] RoyK: not talking slow, talking floppy disk slow [18:27] how did you add storage? [18:28] lvresize; resize2fs [18:28] should work [18:28] it did :) [18:29] and should help writes do better, though reads may still be in trouble if the filesystem is highly fragmented [18:29] the FS is quite fresh, and never got near full [18:29] is this a vm or physical? [18:29] vm in lxc [18:30] take ~1 minute to "build dependency tree" [18:30] anything from dmesg about bad drives? [18:30] shouldn't be [18:30] well, check [18:31] just did: no [18:31] however it is loading 1 disk of the mirror raid more then the other [18:31] 75% load on 1 16% on the other [18:31] that is weird [18:31] pastebin /proc/mdstat [18:32] http://codepad.org/DjNkXNuV [18:32] nothing in it btw :p [18:33] 64MB chunks??? [18:33] it's reading @130MB's how can that even be [18:33] bitmap: 2/2 pages [8KB], 65536KB chunk [18:33] * Qantourisc rechecks the chunk size, that does sound large :D [18:34] seems to be the bitmap chunk [18:35] RoyK: try looking at md127 [18:35] i mean 124 [18:35] 7566523392 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU] [18:35] the chunksize there is 512k [18:35] the rest must indeed be related to bitmap [18:35] yeah, but the bitmap chunk size is 64MB [18:36] doesn't seem to be the problem, though, although you might want to ask on #linux-raid [18:36] I did a apt-get install rsyslog about 6 mins ago, it's at "Reading state information... Done" atm, to give you an idea how slow btw :) [18:36] better place to ask about raid stuff than in here [18:37] sec idea [18:38] where are the "data" files of apt located ? [18:38] iirc /var/cache/apt/ [18:38] ok looks right [18:39] just catted all that data to /dev/zero, verry fast :p [18:39] * Qantourisc smells exesive IO due to something else failing [18:39] apt is calling a lot of fsync, so you might want to get libeatmydata and preload that ;) [18:40] dasjoe: hmm good idea to debug [18:40] * Qantourisc tries [18:40] using a mirror of an ssd and spinning rust for the root with write-mostly for the spinning rust works well [18:40] i'll have the results in ~10 mins [18:40] takes a while to install :/ [18:41] RoyK: ... it's on ssd ... (entirely) [18:41] and it's that slow?!? [18:41] yes [18:41] hence my supprise :) [18:41] better run a smartctl -H /dev/whatever [18:41] guess it may be bad [18:42] "LD_PRELOAD=libeatmydata.so aptitude" [18:42] dasjoe: it's not installed yet [18:42] hmmm maybe i can install it from the host lxc server [18:42] Once libeatmydata is installed. Also, I've got a tiny script for checking interesting SMART stats: https://gist.github.com/dasjoe/a7252e3f737ec36de36f [18:43] yea host system is chroozing by [18:44] copied eatmydata, no real improvement [18:45] Qantourisc: if you have i/o issues like that on an ssd, make sure you have a good backup [18:45] tty1 is also borked: when i type root, it rejects the user [18:45] Qantourisc: looks to me that ssd is borked [18:45] Qantourisc: so, the host is fast but the container is slow? [18:45] dasjoe: es [18:46] Qantourisc: if that's the case your SSD is fine but your LXC is weird. I have no experience with containers, so I'm not very helpful, sorry [18:46] Qantourisc: pastebin 'smartctl -x /dev/sdX' for that ssd [18:46] think i must have some missing resource/functionality on the container [18:46] RoyK: it's 2 :p [18:46] Qantourisc: those SSDs may sometimes not report things right [18:46] Qantourisc: a mirror? [18:46] yep [18:46] RoyK: it's not related to hardware, imho. Their host is running fine, but IO from within the container is slow [18:46] well, that's good [18:46] RoyK: not really [18:47] it's the same brand, and order [18:47] that's bad [18:47] Qantourisc: hop over to #zfsonlinux and let's get you up and running with a real file system ;) [18:47] Qantourisc: without write-mostly, all i/o, also reads, will be spread to all drives [18:48] dasjoe: linux filesystems also work - this thing seems to be hardware [18:48] dasjoe: also, I've been using zfs for 6+ years ;) [18:48] dasjoe: tried zfs once,has some concept issues with ot [18:48] RoyK: still want those smarts ? I uploaded them [18:48] http://codepad.org/dIK1h9da http://codepad.org/KHctwXIV [18:48] please [18:49] doubt you will find anything :p [18:49] they are warmer then expected though :p [18:49] then again the chasis is not closed :p [18:50] it's running at 2800 reads / second [18:50] Qantourisc: doesn't look like anything bad - but does iostat say anything about which ssd is spending more time? [18:50] readking 150 000 kB/s [18:51] /dev/sdd [18:51] but it's also getting the bulk of the read-requests [18:51] try to detach it or offline it [18:51] wich is verry weird [18:51] mdadm --fail iirc [18:52] Such a hassle to get it back online, how certain are you to persue the pure-hardware-io path atm ? [18:53] Qantourisc: check the disks's readahead, I've seen IO thrashing due to linux assuming sequential reads when I had random I/O with large enough block sizes [18:53] just wonder how 150MB/s can't be sufficient [18:53] RoyK: I think it's stuck on something due to something msissing / me takes a look at strace again [18:54] are mmap -read mentioned in strace [18:54] i'm not entirely sure [18:54] blockdev --getra /dev/sdX [18:54] dasjoe: you'd want to check /dev/sdX and the lvm btw [18:54] and getfra too iirc [18:55] Qantourisc: perhaps someone is there doing something they shouldn't? box rooted? [18:55] god lets hope not [18:55] RoyK: I still think it's in the container layer, the host is fast on the same HW, if I understand correctly [18:56] Qantourisc: can you clarify that? [18:56] RoyK: well for starters, there is no direrct exposure to the internet [18:57] Qantourisc: is the host responsive? [18:57] they'd have to have access to another system in the network [18:57] RoyK: yes [18:57] IO == 0 when aptitude is not running [18:57] Does anyone know why the Ubuntu EC2 AMI locator (http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/) lists 15.04 as 'DEVEL'? [18:59] Qantourisc: I don't use lxc so really, I don't know, but have you tried restarting the guest? [18:59] RoyK: relucantly yes, even unmounted and did a fschk [19:00] how to use aptonCD on ubuntu server? [19:00] Can I disable mmap in apt-get ? [19:00] you shouldn't [19:01] if i/o is the problem, iotop might show something [19:01] RoyK: well there are no reads when using strace, since it's mmap-ing, so that would allow me to see some reads [19:02] how to use aptonCD on ubuntu server? [19:06] yea defently lxc => chroot is fast [19:09] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/APTonCD is for Desktop, what about for Server version? [19:10] how did you define *desktop* [19:10] where does it say, for desktop only? [19:10] patdk-wk: he left.. he lacks patience. [19:10] oh, It was so quick, I didn't notice [19:10] damn it, now my inner troll is going build up [19:11] hehe I know the feeling... I was all excited to type out "what error messages did you get when you tried?" oh well === [1]badabum18 is now known as badabum18 [19:37] Anyone may explain to maiself if this: > http://store.bq.com/gl/smartphones have sudo ? [19:39] host127: yes, it does [19:39] host127: you may have better luck in #ubuntu-touch [19:40] sarnold: don lie to me. please. because if is true i will buy ok? [19:41] host127: I just tried it on my nexus4 running ubuntu touch; when you start the terminal, it even prints 'To run a command as adm8nistrator (user "root"), use "sudo sarnold: how's the battery life? [20:31] dasjoe: I don't have a SIM card in that phone, so it's not really a fair comparison, it never does actual phone things [20:31] dasjoe: it runs several days between charges [20:33] sarnold: oh, just like my OPO. I use it for reading tposana in Play Books ;) [20:34] dasjoe: my ubuntu phone has mostly turned into a machines vs machines game :) [20:34] it's yet another tower dfense game, but you've got to get tower placement, types, and upgrades done just right or you fail miserably [20:37] Sounds interesting.
