I have a dedicated server with Fasthosts. It's currently running Ubuntu Server 8.10 and I want to update it to 10.04.
The only issue I have so far is it runs Matrix Server Appliance 2.0-38
Does anyone know if this will be affected by the upgrade in a bad way?
I have had no luck finding a site for Matrix or any other information.
For the upgrade itself, I was hoping to run do-release-upgrade.
When this happens you have to open a terminal, get the process id for mysql-server-5 then kill that process. Like this:
Code:
ps -A
then from the list of processes that it spits out look at the process id (the number at the beginning of the line) for mysql-server-5.
Now type
Code:
sudo kill -9 XXXXX
where XXXXX is the process id for mysql-server, and enter your password. The upgrade process should now resume.
I am running 2 Ubuntu servers, one as UEC frontend and the other as UEC node. I started, last night, the server upgrade on the frontend. As it promised to take several hours I left it alone to proceed through the night. This morning it was waiting on a prompt which, by virtue of hitting esc to relight the monitor, it continued upgrading packages. At some point subsequent to that it paused on a discrepancy between the eucalyptus.conf file the install wanted to save and the eucalyptus.conf file that existed. I reviewed the deltas and determined that the current, as it existed, would suffice. I received 3 more messages on the console:
Installing new version of config file /etc/init/eucalyptus-network.conf. Installing new version of config file /etc/init/eucalyptus-conf...
eucalyptus start/running process 15290
Then no further console messages nor apparent disk or cpu activity
I can shell into the machine and see the following:
Code:

I've just upgraded by dedicated server with OVH from 9.04 to 10.04 and it now refuses to boot with the error "kernel panic unable to mount rootfs on unknown block 2,0" With OVH you must use their custom kernel, but this has been installed and seems to boot thus far, but fails at above. OVH also recommend adding a dev line to fstab, which I've done: [URL] I'm now at a loss as what to do, as it seems the kernel can't see the hard drives, yet when I boot up in rescue mode, I can mount all the drives fine.

I want to install Ubuntu Server distro. First i downloaded ubuntu-10.04.1-server-amd64.iso and "burned" it to my usb-pen using UltraIso software for windows. That booted from the usb, but just after punshing in the language etc it complains that it cant find the cdrom or something like that. then i try the [url], but that wont boot at all with this same iso mentioned above. and burn it to a darn CD. it boots, but somewhere during the process it stops and asks for the same cd that is actually in the drive already. there is a thread about this here: [url] I then wanted to find an easy iso that i could throw on my usb-pen and install the whole thing through ftp like i did in the old days with floppies. but man, i got lost in the documentation with no clear path on how to do it.

I'm trying to install Lucid server (64 bit) and I'm having trouble getting it to boot from software RAID. The hardware is an old Gateway E-4610D (1.86GHz Core2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 2 500GB HDs).
If I install on a single HD, it works fine, but if I set up RAID1 as described here, the install completes fine, but on reboot this is what I get:
Code:
mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/***uuid snipped*** on /root failed: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
[Code].....
When I set up the RAID using the ubuntu installer, I created identical main and swap partitions on each of the two drives (all four are set as primary), made sure the bootable flag was on on the two main partitions, then created a RAID1 out of the two main partitions, and another RAID1 out of the two swap partitions.
I'm trying to install 10.04 Server on an old Dell Poweredge 600SC I had lying around, and I'm having an issue with the installation. I can boot from the disk without any issues, I select a language for the installer, and I get to the main menu (Install Ubuntu Server, Check Disk for defects, Test Memory, etc). When I select Install Ubuntu Server, it waits a couple of seconds and then goes straight to a blank screen. No flashing cursor or anything.
I've tried some digging on the issue and another thread from a while back said to add "vga=771" to the installer line and when I did that, I got an error from my monitor itself complaining about an incompatible video mode.I know I'm not the only one who has had this issue, I just don't know how to address it. This is the first problem I've ever had on an installation.
I updated from karmic to lucid server edition and now firefox wants to download some php files. index.php which is in the same directory is apparently correctly parsed.
Google chrome tells me that the site may be temporarily down and Opera informs me that the connection has been closed by the remote server.
Under karmic I had a standard lamp server installed and everything worked fine.
This is the first time I post in a forum and I hope this is fine here.
I just moved the scripts from the server to a local machine which I updated a couple of weeks ago to lucid.
Compared to my laptop notebook with a HD of 5400rpm, the write performance of raid1 on an ubuntu lucid server is unacceptable. In the begining, I installed ubuntu 9.04 server(alternate) using raid1 with two WD 1TB HDs of 7200rpm(Green Power) and then performed dist upgrade to 9.10 and then to 10.04.
I guess the write performance initially was reasonable since the installation and data migration(copy from another computer over LAN) didn't take too much time. However, after upgrading the server to 9.10 or so, I found large file upload through samba or ftp tends to block and time out. It is of no use whether to change the daemon or the client program so that I tried to test the read/write performance on the server to figure out the situation.
To my surprise, using strace I found even a simple program like cp would easily get blocked eventually in a write() system call for decades of seconds. Hence, I perform another disk writing test using dd for data size ranging from 50MB to 1GB. Performance test commands are listed as follows:
Quote: dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img count=[5|10|15|20|100] bs=10M
if the data to write is equal or fewer than 150MB, the command returns immediately at very hight speed but the raid disks starts to sync and busy so that the terminal prompt seems to freeze. I think this behavior is normal under the raid1 configuration, isn't it?
But when the data size is equal to 200MB, the test command blocks for seconds and the write speed is measured at about 16.6MB/s. Of course, the raid disk still starts to sync and busy afterwards. Next, I test writing with data of size 1GB. The command blocks so long for about 770 seconds(<2MB/s) while the same test runs for only 17.49 seconds(60MB/s) on my laptop.
I also burn a Lucid LiveCD to boot the server and mount the raid device to run the test again but the results remain similar. Does that means even I re-install the system on the raid, the problem never disappears?
PS: the disks run under the mode of UDMA6 without change.
I'm trying to update an Ubuntu Server install to 10.04. I believe something went wrong when I upgraded it from 8.10 to 9.10 in the past. Currently /etc/apt/sources.list would indicate the system is running 9.10, but /etc/issue says 8.10, as does lsb_release -a.
apt-get update and apt-get upgrade show everything is up to date. When I do a do-release-upgrade it tells me that there are no upgrades available.
I should have caught this during the upgrade, I saw the potential problem but failed to write it down. All my applications served by Tomcat fail to load. Catalina logs show the following error for each app. Error deploying configuration descriptor msgboard.xml The complete error for an individual application is
[Code]...
Again, during the upgrade a warning popped up that each app would need to be spelled out in some configuration file SOMEWHERE because of a change in security! Would someone be so kind as to direct me as to where and how this would be accomplished. I apologizes for not being able to find this out on my own but have looked and can't find it. I'm pretty sure anyone proficient with Tomcat on Linux will know what and where these changes need to be made. Or if anyone knows if and where there is a log of all communication during the upgrade I might be able to figure this out on my own. Is there such a log kept during an upgrade? Also if this question would be more appropriate in the Server Platforms forum I will do that.
I can install 6.06 desktop, but would like to move to a 8.04 server. I know I can do an upgrade from 6.06 desktop to 8.04 desktop, but how about to server? cdrom issues and heartache associated with other means of alternate iso installs are beating me up.

It ran for a bit and now it says that it is running 10.04.2 LTS, but I am unable to get any updates.

When I hit partial upgrade it then tells me that "An upgrade from 'lucid' to 'jaunty' is not supported with this tool." This comp serves as my web/sql/file server so it's pretty important I keep it functional. Everything else seems to be working fine though which I can only assume is a good thing.

Google have not yielded any results as yet. If I leave out this step and use configure, make and make install, v2.2.19 gets installed, but to a different directory and all the config will need to be reformatted as it seems it does not use the Ubuntu Apache config structure.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have had Ubuntu desktop on my PC for a year now and am very happy with it. A couple of months ago I got a Ubuntu server 10.04 for playing about with. I have installed the gui, for personal reasons, but I want to upgrade to 10.10
Whenever I attempt the upgrade my server becomes unbootable and I have to reimage and start again. I have even tried performing the upgrade before I install the GUI but it still makes no difference.
Although I have the GUI I am doing the upgrade via command line.
Upon watching the upgrade in process, I find that no errors are occurring. Could it be something to do with my server provider?
Server Specs are: Specification: Intel Dual Core, 2.2 GHz 800MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache, 2Gb DDR, 1x 250Gb HDD
I upgraded from 9.10KK to 10.04LL recently. The process did not go well. I was first instructed to update KK, which I did. The update and subsequent upgrade had various difficulties, the specifics of which I do not recall. 10.04 ran,with various errors and abnormalities, for a couple days.
I have a Compaq Presario, SR1503WM with 750 meg of RAM. I normally boot to Ubuntu on my primary harddrive, but can redirect to a Win2K boot from the other drive. I'm in Windows now, sending this.
If I do a normal boot now, to Ubuntu, and select FF or Opera, I get "Could not Locate Remote Server". It suggests I uncheck "Work Offline". I do and this still gets me nowhere.
I went to System/Admin/Network Connections and all of the tabs were empty. In the WIRED tab, I clicked on ADD and a new WiredConnection1 was established, and,after reboot, is still there, but it does nothing.
I have a cable connecting me to the modem, haven't tried to install wireless yet. This has been sufficient for months, and as I said, still works for Windows.
I think I should go ahead and ReInstall 10.04LL. I upgraded without an install disk.
