| extrememist | Hey all. I have a network issue I've configured the network interfaces in the file to use dhcp but. Its not assigning an ip | 03:02 |
|---|---|---|
| extrememist | And i sort of have no idea why haha | 03:04 |
| sarnold | can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file? | 03:04 |
| sarnold | is networkmanager getting in the way? | 03:04 |
| extrememist | I sort of can't pastebin I'm on mobile | 03:04 |
| sarnold | do you get any error messages in dmesg or syslog or dhcp-specific logs/ | 03:04 |
| extrememist | And sitting next to it | 03:04 |
| sarnold | oh, ouch, that'll complicate things :/ | 03:05 |
| extrememist | Yeaa | 03:05 |
| extrememist | The machine wasn't installed with internet so that's the other thing sarnold | 03:06 |
| extrememist | But I can post images s | 03:08 |
| sarnold | oh that's not terrible | 03:09 |
| extrememist | My screen res is also off | 03:09 |
| sarnold | not as easy as pastebin but not terrible ;) | 03:09 |
| extrememist | So it'll be a bit bonkers | 03:09 |

| sarnold | I can see some dust specs on your monitor but no text | 03:11 |
| extrememist | Lol yea | 03:11 |
| sarnold | apparently your camera manages to hit it between refreshes or something similar. I didn't know that was possible.. | 03:11 |

| mkander_ | I am setting up auto scaling on a server cluster and need to find a way for the new nodes to automatically download the web files (e.g. public_html). Also pull new updates to the html code automatically. What is the best way to do this? | 08:31 |
| === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte | ||
| hypermist | mkander_, you could link them via an internal ip | 09:00 |
| hypermist | that runs a cron job | 09:00 |
| hypermist | to copy from the server to that server | 09:00 |

| repozitor | i want to setup mail server on my ubuntu server | 10:41 |
| repozitor | is there exist any recommended option for me? | 10:41 |
| Sling | repozitor: plenty of options, this guide is pretty basic: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-a-mail-server-using-postfix-dovecot-mysql-and-spamassassin | 10:58 |
| repozitor | Sling, iknew digitalocean | 10:59 |
| repozitor | thank you buddy | 10:59 |
| vvassilev | Hi all, I am running a few ubuntu server machines (mostly with web services), what would be the recommended backup tool. I had bacula, but I had a lot of headache with it: too complex (for my mind), too fragile... | 11:50 |
| vvassilev | Is there something else on the market... | 11:50 |
| lordievader | I use dirvish, rsync based. Very lovely tool. | 11:52 |
| bekks | There are a lot of commercial, enterprise backup tools. | 11:54 |
| vvassilev | lordievader: does it have incrementals and differentials? | 11:56 |
| vvassilev | bekks: I try to use free tools. | 12:00 |
| bekks | Then you have to live with the free tools. | 12:00 |
| vvassilev | As a friend of mine says "I don't pay for women and software" :) | 12:00 |
| bekks | Sounds like your friend is neither in a relationship, nor engaged, nor married. | 12:01 |
| vvassilev | Absolutely.. | 12:04 |
| lordievader | vvassilev: Yes, it is rsync based. | 12:04 |
| vvassilev | lordievader: and one can backup things like ldap, mysql, ... | 12:04 |
| bekks | Having the appropriate backup agents, sure. | 12:05 |
| lordievader | vvassilev: You configure it by setting which directories need to be backed up. | 12:06 |
| vvassilev | lordievader: sorry for being annoying but trying to save some future pain: are the restores easy and is there enough documentation? | 12:08 |
| lordievader | There was some really good documentation, but unfortunately that has gone away. | 12:09 |
| lordievader | Restore can be as simple as copy and paste. | 12:09 |
| vvassilev | lordievader: sounds good, definitely will look into it... | 12:10 |

| Schalla | Hello! I would like to install Ubuntu Server on my Poweredge T20 at home (as KVM host), I am running on this desktop Kubuntu 15.10. I got 2 questions regarding that: As pure KVM host, should I go with 14.04 or with 15.10 and upgrade then in april to 16.04? And additionally, is there a way to install the OS directly on a usb stick ? The server will use the stick itself as boot device, so the step of creating a bootable usb stick is | 15:54 |
| Schalla | unnecessary for me | 15:54 |
| RoyK | Schalla: I'm always using LTS on servers, but as you say, it's not long until 16.04 is released, so 15.10 should probably do | 16:05 |
| RoyK | Schalla: as for using a usb stick for the root, it shouldn't be much of a problem, but I'd suggest using two in a mirror | 16:05 |
| Schalla | Mirroring USB sticks? That's new for me | 16:06 |
| Schalla | How would I do so? | 16:06 |
| RoyK | just like mirroring anything else :) | 16:06 |
| RoyK | linux sees it as a scsi device, so it won't make any difference from a disk | 16:06 |
| Schalla | This will be a funny night + day. :P I will just install ubuntu server now via VM (Which is a easy way actually, just vm -> boot iso -> install to usb), then I will stick that into the server + 2 new harddrives, boot ubuntu and setup a software raid for the 2 harddisks, can I add the mirroring later on? Then I just order a 2nd USB stick | 16:08 |
| Schalla | Its atm a 16GB Sandisk one, should be sufficient as host I guess | 16:09 |
| RoyK | Schalla: if you don't have two usb sticks now, you'll need to setup a "broken mirror", that is, a mirror with only one disk. It's not trivial to change a non-mirrored thing to a mirror later | 16:10 |
| Schalla | RoyK: Thanks for the warning. I guess this guide covers what I am trying to do? | 16:13 |
| Schalla | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID | 16:13 |
| RoyK | it does :) | 16:14 |
| RoyK | if you're unsure, try in a vm first | 16:14 |
| * RoyK has a vm with 12ish 'drives', each 16MB, for testing | 16:14 | |
| RoyK | and 16GB for just the root is sufficient - even 4 should do | 16:15 |
| Schalla | Solid advice. :p | 16:15 |
| Schalla | yeah the usb stick costed like 8€ for 16GB USB 3.0 | 16:16 |
| Schalla | I thought thats okay and safe enough ^^ | 16:16 |
| Schalla | Regarding the broken mirror, I would basically do everything the same way but just configure 1 partition table and then still say configure a software raid -> md drive -> raid 1? The guide covers that this is not possible | 16:17 |
| Schalla | "Number of devices. RAID 0 and 1 need 2 drives. 3 for RAID 5 and 4 for RAID 6." which makes sense, does this mean the installer wont allow less or just that it won't work ? | 16:17 |
| RoyK | no storage medium is safe. period. | 16:17 |
| Schalla | Sorry, bad wording. Ment that its enough space for sure | 16:18 |
| RoyK | you have a couple of drives for storage too? | 16:18 |
| RoyK | those USB things are usually rather low side performance-wise, USB3 or not | 16:19 |
| RoyK | Schalla: the guid you pointed to is good, yes. just create a mirror with a single drive if you don't want to wait for the other usb stick | 16:20 |
| Schalla | RoyK: Yeah 2x WD Red 4TB | 16:20 |
| Schalla | Planned to do also a software raid 1 | 16:20 |
| RoyK | Schalla: also, see Boot from Degraded Disk - you really want that | 16:21 |
| RoyK | I have no idea who came up with the idea to disable boot degraded in the first place - the whole point of having a RAID is to allow for hardware failure | 16:21 |
| * Schalla shrugs. | 16:22 | |
| Schalla | Maybe to avoid that you dont recognize the issue without monitoring? | 16:22 |
| RoyK | possibly, but if you don't monitor your servers, you shouldn't be running servers in the first place :P | 16:23 |
| Schalla | :P | 16:23 |
| Schalla | Anyway, I sadly gtg now. Thanks a lot for your help RoyK, I will give it a shot with a VM tonight! :) | 16:23 |
| RoyK | :) | 16:23 |
| RoyK | good luck | 16:23 |
| Schalla | Ty! | 16:23 |

| mordor_ | Hi. happy new year. | 22:49 |
| mordor_ | I have a question, is it possible to use ubuntu server without video card? I used one to install ubuntu server, but when I removed my video card, the server doesn't work anymore (can't connect with ssh) | 22:54 |
| mordor_ | I plug and unplug multiple times to test, and I am sure it's the missing video card which prevent ubuntu server to boot. Previously I installed debian server 8.2 on this computer, and it worked without it. | 22:54 |
| bekks | mordor_: Sure. | 22:54 |
| mordor_ | I googled it, and maybe it's because of grub splash screen. But answers are too old and obsolete | 22:54 |
| mordor_ | my old computer is an core2duo E8400 (no gpu integrated) | 22:55 |
| mordor_ | bekks: you sure? you tried? | 22:56 |
| bekks | mordor_: Yes. | 22:56 |
| mordor_ | I installed ubuntu-server 15.10 | 22:56 |
| mordor_ | and your cpu doesn't have gpu integrated too? | 22:57 |
| bekks | mordor_: How does my system configuration solves your issue? :) | 22:58 |
| mordor_ | bekks: don't know, just to be sure | 23:00 |
| mordor_ | do you know how to disable grub select screen? | 23:02 |
