Looking for script that I can use to install a large set of packages in Ubuntu. Typically, when I'm starting a new server I have to do "apt-get install" on a bunch of packages. I'd like a script that I can add/remove packages from and say yes to all the dependency questions.

When transfering a 2GB file from the webserver to the Mysql server.
The webserver's connection to the mysql DB server dies completely.
Need to restart the MYSQL process in order for it to come back online.
During this connection downtime, when using phpmyadmin on the mysql server shows no problem running queries etc.
I want to some how get a list of the packages I installed. I was hoping that I could just list all of the packages that were not installed automatically as a dependency. It turns out that there are 320 packages that match that description (I think). Is there a way to do what I want to do? Shouldn't all of these dependencies have been installed as a handful of meta-packages instead?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new to setting up Linux Servers. I've setup a Ubuntu 10.10 Server along with CUPS and I'm using Webmin to talk to the server. I have a HP PSC 1315 Multifunction printer connected via usb to the server. Using the CUPS web interface I am able to get the server to detect the connected printer and it identified the HP PSC 1310 Series drivers.
When I printer a test page from the server's screen the print job goes through ok and the size was about 5k.
I then setup a samba share to allow my Windows 7 machine to share the printer. Windows 7 is able to pick up the shared printer correctly and I used the default HP 1310 Series drivers. When I tried to send a test page to the printer, that single page ended up being 3887kb and I also tried printing out a single paged word document which ended up being over 7MB.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from 11.2 to 11.4 and the installation/upgrade worked just perfect. I than followed the instructions in the "New User How To/FAQ", "Multimedia and restricted format" post. I was following the instruction in the 11.4 section. I added the additional repositories as explained. I then was on the section where it talks about going into software management and selecting the "Packman" repository and clicking to "switch systems packages" to the versions in this repository (packman). I than click this link and the "warning" screen appears and I am present with conflict resolution after conflict resolution dialog. It just seems that there are some many conflicts, it just seems wrong and I canceled.
The installation/upgrade appears to have worked just fine. My mail is there, audio and dvd play back worked the first try after the upgrade. I am not clear if this is what I should expect or their is something wrong or if I even need to complete this step for a successfully installation.

I am running Debian Lenny 2.6.26-2-amd64 and I have the following setup:
3 Raid6-Volumes each 19TB size (md0,md1,md2)
I would like to join the three of them to one large LV (of 57TB) formatted with a jfs fs.
I installed:
jfs_mkfs version 1.1.14, 06-Apr-2009
lvm version
LVM version: 2.02.39 (2008-06-27)
Library version: 1.02.27 (2008-06-25)
Driver version: 4.13.0
Prerequisite: the md are assembled and have synched:
Code:
cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10] .....
I used jfs_mkfs on each of the three mds and mounted the drives to run some checks and they worked without a problem. I am pretty sure the drives/raids are OK. Then I created the VG "pod" with the three drives as members: .....
Then I created a 40TB LV for testing
Code:
lvcreate -L 40T pod
which gave me this
Code:
lvscan
ACTIVE '/dev/pod/lvol0' [40.00 TB] inherit
Then I went on formatting the drive using
Code:
jfs_mkfs /dev/pod/lvol0
Still - everything fine.
When trying to check the partition with jfs_fsck I get:
Code:
ujfs_rw_diskblocks: disk_count is 0
Unrecoverable error writing M to /dev/pod/lvol0. Cannot Continue.
The really funny thing is that I don't seem to get the error if I try to run the thing with a 25TB LV everything looks fine: There is nothing in syslog that would point to the source of this error. Also - if I try to mount the 40TB partition, everything is fine - but when I try to write to it, the whole system hangs and there is no way to recover.
I've got a server running CentOS 5.5. I used the automated iptables config tool included in the operating system to allow traffic for vsftpd, Apache and UnrealIRCd. When I send large files to FTP, even from the local network, it works fine for a while and then completely times out... on everything. IRC disconnects, FTP can't find it and when I try to ping it I get "Reply from 10.1.10.134: Destination host unreachable" where ..134 is the host address for the Win7 box I'm pinging from. This is especially frustrating as it's a headless server, and as I can't SSH into it to reboot I'm forced to resort to the reset switch on the front, which I really don't like doing.
Edit: the timeouts are global, across all machines both on the local network and users connecting in from outside.
I use red hat linux es 5. I use startx to start the x-win desktop. But when I use vritual manager . The display application is too large so the bottom part for the application cannot show out. I cannot scroll down to get the display of bottm part. So, I do not know what button display at the bottom part. So, what can I do. I already set the display to 800x640 already.

It hosts an Apache/2.2.3 web server. We also run apache-tomcat-5.5.23. Most of our programs are mod_perl. Sometimes our users input over-sized data sets, or queries that generate too much output. (I realize that we should try to prevent them from doing that, but right now I'm looking for a more general solution.)
When a large job runs it can 'freeze' our system. The system becomes unresponsive to everything, including command line commands. Sometimes it unfreezes after a while. Once, in this situation I was able to create a high-priority shell. ps reported:

Observing the machine, I see at least one very busy disk. I suspect that some high priority system process (perhaps kswapd) is using all the cpus, preventing anything else from running. Unfortunately, I cannot find much info on kswapd, or debuggging this problem.
I use Brasero/K3b but both of them showed that the ISO is too large (4.7GB) - while the DVD capacity of the disk I'm using is 4.3 or so GB (Princo). Then I figured I'd try to extract the files and burn them like that (extracted iso being 4.2 GB). So then I encountered another issue, usually one would find boot.catalog, which wasn't the case here. Any ideas on how I should burn my DVD ISO ?

I think I am having a problem due to an NFS server file size limit. Is it possible I am missing a parameter on the RHEL NFS setup to handle large files? I am running an NFS server on a RHEL 5.1 machine and the HP-UX 11.0 machine does an NFS mount to that file system. The HP-UX executes a program that resides on the HP-UX machine to process a large 35 GB data file that resides on the NFS server machine. The program on the HP-UX can only read/process the first portion of the file until an "RPC: Authentication error" is returned multiple times until the program prematurely decides that it has reached the end of file.
I tried recompiling the same program to run on the RHEL 5.1 NFS server to access the 35 GB file locally (on the NFS server instead on HP-UX) and the program completed successfully, processing the whole file (about 7 hours of processing) with no "RPC: Authentication error." In addition, I have been running the nfs mount with the same machines for quite some time, but not with such large files sizes.
I'm planing to copy a productive mysql innodb file from one server to another, and the file size is around 300GB. As the file is keeping changing all the time, I have to shutdown mysql instance and copy the large data file to other server as quickly as possible.I should have to find a way to speed up file copying ... I'm wondering whether there's a way to copy file block by block.If the destination side block has same content, then bypass it.

I have cygwin on Windows XP running rsync to remote Ubuntu server over ssh using ADSL.My data set is about 20Gb! But, Cygwin will backup incrementally, so after the first backup the process should be relatively quick.With ADSL the first backups will take too long. I was thinking about doing the first backup by copying files to an external hard drive then attaching the hard drive to my remote server and copying the files. The idea being that rsync will pick up the files as if it had created them in the first instance. The incremental backups will then pickup from there.
Does anyone have any experience with this and/or can provide any advice? The external hd is fat-32 which is okay with Windows and should be okay with Ubuntu? From XP right click copy and then paste keeps the file dates intact on the external hd - is this enough to get rsync going incrementally?
We had to reboot a server in the middle of a production day due to 99% iowait (lots of processes in deep sleep waiting for disk iops). That's never happened to us before. It had been 363 days since the last fsck, so it started automatically on reboot. It hung at 4.8% on a 2TB LVM2 volume for about an hour. I killed the fsck and rebooted the server. The second time, it went past that point and is currently at about 62%. First, what causes e2fsck to hang like that? Second, is there any danger in killing e2fsck, rebooting, and starting it again?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am learning about linux memory and hugepages, and know that hugepages basically is just memory that manages memory. I thought I'd experiment with the subject, and wrote a very small C program [URL] that basically just eats 20 GB of memory. The idea was that I would use this small C program to see how big the page table would get when handling large areas of memory when I'm not using hugepages. After running the program on my RHEL 5 server I was expecting the PageTable to be huge, but found that it was only about 43 MB. The page size on my RHEL box i 4 kB. Why I'm not getting the major PageTable size issue I was expecting?
View 2 Replies View Relatedwe've been trying to become a bit more serious about backup. It seems the better way to do MySQL backup is to use the binlog. However, that binlog is huge! We seem to produce something like 10Gb per month. I'd like to copy the backup to somewhere off the server as I don't feel like there is much to be gained by just copying it to somewhere else on the server. I recently made a full backup which after compression amounted to 2.5Gb and took me 6.5 hours to copy to my own computer ... So that solution doesn't seem practical for the binlog backup.Should we rent another server somewhere? Is it possible to find a server like that really cheap? Or is there some other solution? What are other people's MySQL backup practices?
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe're load testing some of our larger servers (16GB+ RAM), and when memory starts to run low they are kicking off the oomkiller instead of swapping. I've checked swapon -s (which says we're using 0 bytes out of 16GB of swap), I've checked swappiness (60), I've tried upping the swap to 32GB, all to no avail. If we pull some RAM, and configure the box with 8GB of physical ram and 16 (or more) GB of swap, sure enough it dips into it and is more stable than a 16GB box with 16 or 32GB of swap.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a test RHEL5 box, sitting in a brand new Dell blade rack on a PowerEdge M610, with a lovely Emulex OCm10102-F-M FCoE card connected to a Cisco Nexus 5000 switch. The whole setup is extremely new (the cards only recently became available for purchase.) We've finally worked with Emulex to get the cards functional, and we are ready to some stress testing to the SAN. My question now is, is there a good tool I can use to generate a large amount of traffic to a LUN? The Wintel team used a windows-only tool that showed an average of 6gigs/second throughput, so I need something that can generate very large files and simulate a consistent throughput to the LUN. I found iozone, but I'm having a devil of a time with it.
