=== dendro-away [n=dendroba@adsl-065-005-186-012.sip.asm.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu-server === kshah [n=kunalash@ool-44c0ac9c.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #ubuntu-server [12:59] command line cmd for the active processes? i need to kill mysql, it just crapped itself [12:59] whats your question? [01:00] I need to kill mysql and restart [01:00] it just went nuts [01:00] lspci I thought listed processes [01:00] when I try it, I get input / output error [01:01] no, 'ps aux' would give you a list of active processes [01:01] but you don't need to kill mysql that way [01:01] sudo invoke-rc.d mysql restart [01:01] unable to execute [01:01] (i just tried it, thats what i got) [01:01] ajmitch, is that a upstartism or a way of restarting i havent seen before? [01:02] Kamping_Kaiser: no, it's a debianism way of running the initscripts [01:02] ajmitch, neat. never seen it before [01:02] nor had I [01:02] kshah: what did you try & run? [01:03] sudo invoke-rc.d mysql restartt [01:03] won't work [01:04] I hope that 'restartt' was a typo [01:04] it was :) [01:05] I'm using drupal (a LAMP based CMS) and I just started getting mysql errors, someone told me to repair the table [01:05] but I can't even restart mysql, or shut it down, or apparently anything [01:05] mysql from ubuntu packages? [01:06] yeah, I used the Ubuntu Server 7 guide to install everything [01:06] so it came pre installed i guess [01:07] ok, and what did you say you got when you tried to run that? [01:08] and what do you mean by mysql going nuts, also? [01:09] the error was: [01:09] unable to execute /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d: Input/output error [01:09] sigh, I'm being called away, I'll let Kamping_Kaiser help :) [01:09] back later [01:09] k thx [01:09] gah. i'm only here for 10 more min :S *reads up* [01:09] ajmitch, catch you later [01:11] pity i almost never use mysql. [01:11] kshah, can you stop it? [01:11] don't think so [01:11] kill -9 mysql ? [01:11] /etc/init.d/mysql-server stop [01:11] ouch, my RSI is kicking in :S [01:12] lol [01:12] uh oh [01:12] you may have been right [01:12] well, scorpking might have been [01:12] Read-only file system [01:12] how can I check diskspace? [01:12] df -h [01:13] and df [01:13] (-h is human readable, but the rounding may confuse things) [01:13] no, less than 1% of everything is used [01:13] what about `mount` [01:13] I just logged in, it said new mail, I wrote mail, it says 'read only' [01:13] check if anythings marked ro [01:13] oh the TEMP folder maybe [01:13] could that be it? [01:13] temp is ro?? [01:13] a memory leak, causing the temp folder to be filled, unemptied [01:14] causing other bad shit to go down? [01:14] if temp is full, thats a bad look [01:14] temp is ro?? I don't know what you mean [01:14] I'm new to linux [01:14] ro=read only [01:14] kshah, can you put the output of `df -h && mount` in pastebin for me to look at? [01:14] !paste [01:14] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [01:14] yes, temp is RO in that case, the error returned from the 'mail' command was /tmp/mail.Rx(some other chars here): Read only file system [01:15] temp being read only is a bad thing [01:15] I can't run mount command [01:15] Input / output error [01:15] df -h works [01:15] give me the df -h output then [01:15] kshah: do you see any hardware problems ? [01:16] I don't believe there, this is a server running off of a laptop thought [01:16] *though [01:16] so... [01:16] I/O errors like that generally aren't good [01:16] usually dmesg will have more info in that case [01:16] going to pastebin in a sec [01:18] http://pastebin.com/m72ef7083 [01:18] Kamping_Kaiser: ^^ === pschulz01 [n=pschulz0@ubuntu/member/pschulz01] has joined #ubuntu-server [01:18] kshah, i'd look in dmesg like ajmitch suggests - `dmesg | tail -n 30` === Kamping_Kaiser tried to tab complete dmesg *slap* [01:19] if dmesg will run :) [01:19] I can't run that command [01:19] ajmitch, quite *heh* [01:19] I've already tried at scorpkings behest [01:19] sounds like you have some far more serious issues there [01:19] what about `tail -f /var/log/syslog` [01:19] that works [01:19] ill pastebin [01:20] when i started getting errors like that i put the drive in the fridge and started data recovery stuff.. :| [01:20] that was a laptop hdd too [01:20] http://pastebin.com/m6853111d [01:21] could you run with -n 30? `tail -n 30 -f /var/log/syslog` [01:21] er, no -f [01:21] kshah: yeah.. it seems that your hd is dead [01:21] shut it down ? [01:22] kshah, what season is it where you are? [01:22] summer, i'm in in NJ [01:22] summer, your going to have trouble finding somewhere cold then *heh* [01:22] http://pastebin.com/m245a3225 [01:23] it is in an air conditioned office, I guess its just too old and too much of a over heating laptop to handle it all [01:23] drive doesnt look good [01:23] how can I shut it down? [01:23] halt [01:23] sudo halt? [01:23] or the power button [01:23] yea [01:23] lol input output error [01:23] try method B [01:23] I'm not there [01:23] looks like it can't run anything not in the cache [01:23] it's about 20 miles away [01:23] oops [01:24] yeah... [01:24] ah [01:24] init 6? [01:24] you can try it [01:25] init: not being executed as init [01:25] I don't know what that means [01:25] it means you need to get on the phone :) [01:25] oh NOs lol [01:25] oh jeez... this is going to suck [01:25] kill -9 kills a process right? [01:26] yes. term, iirc [01:26] echo O > /proc/sysrq-trigger [01:26] a truly evil way of shutting down [01:27] if it works.. [01:27] its still evil. [01:27] why is that? [01:27] ajmitch, is that 'shut down' or 'die now' [01:28] permission denied (ran as sudo) === Kamping_Kaiser wonders if `kill -15 `pidof init`` counts as 'shut down' (as i think about it, no it doesnt) [01:28] kshah: sudo sh -c 'echo O > /proc/sysrq-trigger' === Kamping_Kaiser debates this as a reason to look into ramdiscs again [01:29] command didn't do anythin jdstrand [01:30] well, it may have.. [01:30] but.. [01:30] i'm still connected ssh [01:30] i'm heading out [01:30] there's always the option of getting in a car & going there [01:30] catch you all later on [01:30] that is what is going to happen it looks like [01:30] thank you all for the help [01:30] always a nice time for a scenic drive [01:31] kshah: I was addressing only the 'permission denied' error. try 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and see if stuff is shutting down. I looked at your errors in pastebin-- my sympathies...

[11:29] Do I need to install them via apt-get. If so what do i need to install. Name of package would be good. [11:30] Fibres: linux-source [11:31] Fibres: linux-source-2.6.15 [11:31] Ah thanks hopefully might vmware installed soon [11:31] Fibres: And then it's in /usr/src [11:32] 700mb :( [11:32] dang [11:32] Which would I be better installing linux-source or linux-source-2.6.15?

[12:08] ...if you know how. :) === halcyonCorsair [n=halcyonC@galaxy.liverton.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu-server [12:08] any good guides around ? ;) [12:08] Dunno, actually. [12:09] :( [12:09] I've never done it, really. I usually have my data stored in /home (and /var/lib/mysql) and all my config is in /etc, so I just grab the list of installed packages and install them on a fresh system. [12:10] you can grab a list of installed packages ? [12:10] dang i need to learn linux :p [12:10] But moving it to a new disk isn't really that hard. Install the new disk, partition it, mount the filesystems where they should be and restore from the old system. [12:10] Yahooadam: dpkg --get-selections [12:10] Yahooadam: That's the machine-readable version. [12:10] Yahooadam: ...which you can feed to dpkg --set-selections. [12:11] Yahooadam: 'dpkg -l' is more human readable.
