[01:00] hey all. so I've got a new disk and I am trying to migrate everything to a new install... I'm not sure I'll be able to do any sort of 'export' on LVM, is there some way I can import these to the new install? [01:12] I am on ubuntu 14.04 LTS server version I have noticed that /boot has been constant for 2-3 months this means there are no updates of kernel for a long time ? [01:12] blueking: you should probably update to 16.04 now that .1 is out [01:13] hmm need to make new install or are it safe to do update with none corruption of setup ? [01:14] well nothing is guaranteed [01:14] experienced issues with nic names changing after some upgrades :/ [01:15] eth0/1 -> em1/2 and so on [01:15] I don't know why that would cause issues but ok [01:16] blueking: infact a kernel was released very recently https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux [01:16] ok [01:17] does there exist tool that makes backup of ALL system drive included partitions ? [01:18] dd(1) ? [01:18] dd can do that [01:18] dd ? [01:22] yeah; if you've got a fully-installed hard drive in /dev/sda and you want to clone it to a drive in /dev/sdb you could use dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=128K -- I added the bs 'block size' argument to try to get it to use an IO request size that most drives would be better at [01:24] if make image copy to another drive ? [01:25] if put ssd on windows computer and make image copy of all disc ? [01:25] dd is wonderful, it can do a lot more than just cloning hard drives :) [01:27] well problem are that I have only one ubuntu/linux computer :P [01:28] if system gets fucked up in an upgrade.. it's not easy to revert changes ? [01:28] correct, there's currently no good way to revert broken upgrades. Hopefully we'll get that some day. [01:28] my GF would be mad at me if I would need to spend lot time to bring router(pc) back online...

I have one HP sl250s Gen 8 server. (on 8 disk and hardware RAID(1+0)). I'm tring install Ubuntu 16.04 on this server. But disk detect part pass directly. I guess Ubuntu cant see 2 logical volume. (Raid card b320i) I tried this solution (http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c04439186) bu [07:17] t nothing change. This installation is possible? If it is, do you have any suggestions? [07:19] You install on a specific set of disks? What I did on my Microserver gen8 was to add a SSD disk for the OS, so the Storage disks are used solely for storage. [07:19] Then I installed, and could fiddle around with the drivers. [07:19] I don't like the hardware raid. If something breaks and you don't find a spare controller, your data is gone too ... (Happened to me back in time). [07:28] Smurphy: I understand and thank you :) I use SaS disk and I enabled lisance for Raid. [07:29] Besides, I dont like hw raid but they want this :/. [07:34] well. Then you will need to get the drivers in first somehow. [07:35] I guess, I found them there link: https://launchpad.net/~hp-iss-team/+archive/ubuntu/hp-storage [07:36] Hi all, trying to use ubuntu server to setup a kiosk machine booting into Chrome [07:37] running dpk-reconfigure x11-common is spitting out an error about "start and stop actions are no longer supporter" [07:37] supported* [07:37] sooo... how do I reconfigure x11 now?

I had a server on which I had installed Ubuntu 14.04 and then used IPMI to setup Windows Server 2012. I want to reinstall everything, so I took the server into rescue mode. Right now I'm connected to the server via FTP using the rescue mode credentials, but I'm unsure where the location to both C:\ and D:\ are via FTP. Can anybody please help? [09:26] C4L: that will depend on your ftp server and your file system layout [09:29] Hey ikonia [09:29] I did manage to find that C:\ was infact /dev/sda1 [09:29] and D:\ was /dev/sda2 [09:29] no, thats a device file [09:29] not a mount point [09:29] Oh [09:29] ftp will not be able to use /dev [09:29] Yeah because I tried mounting it, I wasn't able to do so === MrBIOS_ is now known as MrBIOS === degorenko|afk is now known as degorenko === iberezovskiy|off is now known as iberezovskiy [11:29] I've just run a conjure-up for openstack all services succeeded except cinder as I had a typo in the cidr notation - is there a way to fix this and redeploy? === MrBIOS_ is now known as MrBIOS === MrBIOS_ is now known as MrBIOS === MrBIOS_ is now known as MrBIOS [15:39] I want a service to restart another service whenever it is restarted.

The unsuccessful commend tries to use /tmp for which df -hT shows "overflow tmpfs 1.0M 1.0M 0 100% /tmp" How can I make this partition bigger or otherwise solve this problem? [17:45] So I can't upgrade any more and the situation is stuck. [17:46] peer-hh: did you possibly run out of disk at some point? [17:46] peer-hh: actual disk, i mean [17:47] peer-hh: iirc, the overflow tmpfs is a safety check for when / is full and you can't run anything to solve it [17:47] it's only the /tmp thing which is at 0. [17:47] peer-hh: not right now, but at anytime recently [17:47] it happens while making an initramfs [17:47] peer-hh: what happens? [17:48] the errors [17:48] peer-hh: you're not answering my question [17:48] many lines like "cp: failed to extend '/tmp/mkinitramfs_QciUOf//sbin/blkid': No space left on device" and the "apt-get upgrade" thus fails. [17:48] peer-hh: has, at anytime recently, your system run out of actual disk space, in particular for / [17:48] no, as far as I can tell [17:49] peer-hh: if you are sure, you should be able to umount the overflow tmpfs on /tmp; or reboot and it should be fine [17:49] there are 12 G available on / [17:49] ok, I'll give it a try [17:51] ok, it looks fine now, after a reboot. upgrades as usual. seems solved. thank you! === degorenko is now known as _degorenko|afk === iberezovskiy is now known as iberezovskiy|off === AndyWojo is now known as suburban_killade [18:16] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request -- while getting yakkety sources via git [18:16] can anyone tell me what's failing: http://pastebin.com/yJBu5qb8 [18:21] Onepamopa: yikes. please file a bug with 'ubuntu-bug linux'.

[18:57] sarnold: no such dir in /var [18:57] DexterF: *nod* I've used it in the past myself for the same reasons :) [18:58] DexterF: how about 'find /mnt/var/ -name '*extra*' ? I can't recall the exact name..

[19:13] no [19:14] you can create one of course but it's not available by default [19:14] typically you create a user during install which gets sudo privs for access to root [19:14] rharper: aye, he says that's the bit that's broken [19:14] on which iso ? [19:15] mini.iso [19:15] that sounds a but fundamental, iso tests for yakkety are passing as are xenial; powersj around ? [19:15] sarnold: yakkety? or xenial ? [19:15] rharper: yakkety [19:16] k [19:16] * powersj boots his vm he used with the yakkety mini.iso [19:17] when you need to debug a machine and you have only acer monitors. (good panels, but take ages to detect modes. no POST messages for you.) [19:17] sarnold: I do recall creating a user and sure enough have my local powersj user [19:17] sarnold: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/yakkety/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso ? [19:17] DexterF: ^^ is that the mini.iso you used? [19:17] powersj: woot. [19:17] no, xenial [19:18] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso [19:18] argh! sorry powersj, rharper :( [19:18] no worries, let me give it a try [19:18] I wish that link had the SHA sums there ... [19:18] that'd be really surprising, xenial's been out for a while [19:19] rharper: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/installer-amd64/current/images/SHA256SUMS and http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/installer-amd64/current/images/SHA256SUMS.gpg [19:19] sarnold: heh, but not in the same path =) [19:20] yeah, but at least they're there :) [19:20] y [19:20] hmm this is looking odd. Did not ask me for user creds before installing base system [19:20] heh [19:20] sounds like the bug [19:20] oh there it goes, asked me after base system, then setup time [19:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD <- first iso listed on that page [19:21] is the one I used [19:21] guess that was loading things, not doing base system [19:22] md5 of the one I tried matches that - can confirm created a user [19:22] powersj: well. any way to recover? [19:23] That part is the standard 4 screens worth to: full name, user name, password x2 [19:24] You could boot a livecd or into recovery mode, mount the disk, and see what is in /home for the username and change the password that way [19:24] if there isn't anything critical on the system, I would just reinstall at that point [19:27] powersj: where is the iso test report page for the mini.iso ? I didn't see it on the jenkins.ubuntu.com/server [19:27] powersj: the funky thing is there is no line for that use in passwd. I know the name, it's not in passwd/shadow, that's what irritates me most to begin with [19:28] DexterF: did anything get logged? [19:28] DexterF: so you have a homedir but nothing in passwd/shadow ? [19:29] rharper: hard to tell about home since I cannot log in, it sits on an md raid. [19:29] sarnold: let me check [19:29] then how do you know there's no line in passwd/shadow ? [19:29] rharper: mini.iso would fall under the netboot ISO I believe on the ISO tracker here: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/ [19:29] other than you can't login? [19:30] powersj: ah, ok [19:30] rharper: plucked the disk and hooked it to this computer for examination [19:30] it's likely that the useradd failed ; seems unlikely to have created home and populated it while failing to update passwd/shadow [19:34] I have a theory what happened [19:35] said /home md is a raid5, and I had a flaky sata cable on one drive. wait. bad theory. I was up to: during setup one disk fails, /home becomes inaccessible, user creation fails silently. [19:36] but then again one failed disk on raid5 is exactly what md should cover [19:36] unless /home became unresponsive due to disk sync errors [19:36] What are the chances 2 " BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request" messages to appear on the monitor but not @ syslog (after reboot)? [19:37] I scrolled them up, made a photo then rebooted [19:38] Onepamopa: when things go wrong in the kernel it's quite possible that too much is broken to actually write logs to disk; I'd hope BUGs would still get written, but when paging requests can't be handled, there's something very wrong. [19:38] sarnold, this happened on both 16.10 and 16.04.1 [19:38] Im surface-checking the disk for errors now... [19:39] after that it's time to check the memory too ....

[21:20] I now added that user to the sudo group. web manuals suggest adding to "admin", too, but there is no such group [21:23] boots, logs in as user, can sudo. yay. === galeido_ is now known as galeido [21:54] installed lxqt metapackage. no there is ofonod. on a server. wth? [21:55] DexterF: what metapackage? [21:55] tsimonq2: "lxqt" [21:55] if it's from the Lubuntu Development PPA, don't expect it to be stable [21:55] ok good [21:55] DexterF: what is 'ofonod'? [21:56] ^ [21:56] telephony daemon [21:56] descender: presumably it's some base part of the LXQt desktop environment? [21:56] ofonod is a daemon which provides an oFono stack for interfacing mobile [21:56] telephony devices. [21:57] ok, so more like bt2droid storage access or sumsuch. that makes sense then. [22:12] nacc: not that I know of [22:19] tsimonq2: ok, wasn't sure why else it would get pulled in via deps [22:20] !info ofonod [22:20] Package ofonod does not exist in yakkety [22:20] :/ [22:20] tsimonq2: it's ofono [22:20] afaict [22:20] !info ofono [22:20] ofono (source: ofono): Mobile telephony stack (daemon).
