jrwren | lol, this conversaton is bad. | 00:19 |
---|---|---|

jrwren | What I meant was all the wikimedia things. | 00:19 |
jrwren | and it is your responsibility because you are the most awesome wikimedia person. | 00:19 |

greg-g | jrwren: :) | 14:48 |
jrwren | i need help. I have a linux server install that rebooted. I cannot find what triggered the reboot. Syslog doesn't show anything. The only idea I have left is that it has been rooted. I can find no evidence that this is true either. | 17:04 |
jrwren | It was cleanly shutdown. There is no OOM killer message. Syslog shows services cleanly stopping but does not show what triggered the shutdown. | 17:04 |
jrwren | bah, its been offline, unplugged from inet for days. Still, I'd like to know why it rebooted. | 17:12 |
cmaloney | jrwren: Where is the server located? Local or cloud provider or ... ? | 17:15 |
jrwren | my basement. | 17:17 |
jrwren | an old laptop | 17:17 |
cmaloney | I'd check thermal issues | 17:17 |
jrwren | oh! good call! | 17:17 |
cmaloney | those might not make it to the OS level | 17:17 |
cmaloney | Barring that it could be a memory issue that wasn't logged | 17:18 |
cmaloney | unfortunately I've had a number of reboots that haven't left anything of consequence in the logs after reboot | 17:18 |
jrwren | this is just so weird that it was a clean shutodwn. | 17:19 |
cmaloney | That is weird | 17:19 |
cmaloney | no FSCK at all? | 17:19 |
jrwren | something triggered a "reboot" | 17:19 |
cmaloney | Ubuntu server? | 17:19 |
jrwren | i don't nkow. I didn't see it come up. if it did fsck on reboot, it did so cleanly. | 17:19 |
jrwren | Yes, it is ubuntu | 17:19 |
cmaloney | Check if there was a security package installed that required a reboot | 17:19 |
cmaloney | you might have that turned on | 17:19 |
cmaloney | not sure if it'll wait for permission to reboot in that case | 17:20 |
jrwren | maybe, but, why now? when the package had to have been installed for a week since its been offline for a week or so. | 17:20 |
jrwren | the timing makes no sense. | 17:20 |
cmaloney | I'm just grabbing at straws now | 17:20 |
jrwren | *dough* | 17:21 |
jrwren | authlog is separate from syslog | 17:21 |
jrwren | *doh* | 17:21 |
jrwren | May 6 11:07:00 cloudy systemd-logind[2010]: Power key pressed. | 17:21 |
jrwren | May 6 11:07:00 cloudy systemd-logind[2010]: Powering Off... | 17:21 |
jrwren | May 6 11:07:00 cloudy systemd-logind[2010]: System is powering down. | 17:21 |
cmaloney | hah | 17:22 |
cmaloney | that's awesome | 17:22 |
jrwren | my kid pressed the power key and then lied to me!!! | 17:22 |
cmaloney | ruh roh | 17:22 |
cmaloney | time to play the "do you have something to tell me" game | 17:22 |
cmaloney | "You can lie to your parents, but you damn well better not lie to the sysadmin" | 17:24 |
jrwren | she is a good liar. | 17:28 |
jrwren | i don't know how to get the truth from her. | 17:28 |
cmaloney | Only way I can think of is to make the truth less painful than the lie | 17:44 |
cmaloney | but I'm not sure how to enact that | 17:44 |
