e66In our ubuntu server sometimes a package some-pkg can not be installed due to network issue or "no installation candidate" error.  Now if I just download the .deb and manually install it by dpkg -i some-pkg….deb, will it install same as it would have been installed by apt-get ?07:35

anirbanHi guys, do I have to add the user tomcat7 to any specific group for tomcat7 being able to write to sockets listening locally?17:50
bekksanirban: No. It just needs to have write permissions. Which socket do you talk about specifically, and which permissions are set on that socket?18:33
anirbanI am using java to create the socket.18:34
anirbanI don't have any idea how to change the permissions of a socket created by java.18:34
anirbanIt's a TCP/IP socket.18:34
bekksSo its not even existing in the filesystem, since it is a network socket.18:36
anirbanYeah.18:36

Billy21hello20:29
Billy21i am not new to linux but new enough to create problems for myself20:30
Billy21I have recently setup a server ubuntu server on my network and it is crashing20:30
Billy21and i would like to find out why20:30
lordievaderCrashing how?20:31
Billy21i think it is a disc failure20:31
lordievaderCheck the smart values.20:31
Billy21but I am not 100% sure20:31
Billy21how?20:31
Billy21should i know what smart values are?20:32
lordievaderBilly21: Is the package 'smartmontools' installed?20:32
Billy21hmm... nope20:33
lordievaderHarddisks measure how healthy they are themselves, this is called the SMART data.20:33
lordievaderInstall that and run 'sudo smartctl -a /dev/sd*' where * should be replaced with the letter for each drive.20:34
Billy21ok20:34
Billy21can i apt-get that ?20:37
lordievaderYes. sudo apt-get install smartmontools20:37
Billy21or do i need to wget and then install the packages20:37
lordievaderYou rarely need to wget things.20:37
Billy21thank you20:38
Billy21also is there a cheat sheet for ubuntu server commands?20:39
lordievaderhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal20:42
Billy21thank you20:42
Billy21sorry... how do i list my drives?20:44
Billy21i have 4 drives20:44
Billy21one has m$ on it and two are raid20:44
Billy21i need to see if the raid is failing or if it is my ubuntu os drive20:45
lordievaderAll drives are listed in /dev as sda, sdb, etc. Run the smartctl command on all of them.20:47
Billy21ok20:47
lordievaderPoints of interest are the reallocated and pending sector counts. And the raw-read errors.20:47
lordievaderThose should all be zero.20:47
Billy21is sda and sda1 the same?20:50
lordievaderNo, sda1 is partition one on sda.20:50
* lordievader movie time20:50
Billy21which movie?20:51
Billy21SMART Disabled. Use option -s with argument 'on' to enable it.20:51
Billy21(override with '-T permissive' option)20:51
Billy21Read SMART Error Log failed: scsi error aborted command20:52
Billy21Read SMART Self-test Log failed: scsi error aborted command20:52
Billy21Read SMART Selective Self-test Log failed: scsi error aborted command20:52

Billy21is there a way to fix that stuff?21:29
Billy21the two drive that could be the issue are in my raid21:31
bekksBilly21: If the drive has issues with seeking blocks, its about to fail. You can fix it by replacing that drive.21:44
lordievaderBilly21: That raw read error doesn't look good. Time for a new drive, I'd say.22:03
