Hello,
This weekend I'm off to OggCamp - http://oggcamp.org/
- if you're there too then do say hello! :)
Whilst there will be support cover and I should be available in
emergencies, this is also awkward timing because the next Ubuntu LTS
release is due for tomorrow.
Firstly I would say if you do have a support issue you need doing
before next week you should put it in now.
Secondly, if you are considering upgrading an Ubuntu VPS to 10.04 I
would recommend waiting until after the weekend. I haven't tried it
yet myself, though I do hope to do so. I think it should work, but
there might be some gotchas, and a lot of people breaking their
VPSes at once will stretch things this weekend. Plus if it does
break all I'll likely be able to do is put you back to 8.04 or
Debian.
Don't forget that I can snapshot your filesystem before you do a
major upgrade so if it all goes wrong we can roll it back to before
you started fairly easily. But you have to ask first.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi
I have a functional mail server on my new VPS.
Now I want to propagate mydomainname.com to email servers through the MX record,
so that people can find 'me(a)mydomainname.com'.
The domain registry has default values of 'mailstore1.secureserver.net' and
'smtp.secureserver.net'.
I would like them to point at my VPS, but am unaware of the correct strings,
which would replace 'mailstore1...' and 'smtp...' above..
I would also like to minimise my sysadmin time, and so would like to avoid to be
forced to use bind etc on my VPS.
Can anyone help? TIA.
Cheers,
Max
Can I select a preference between IP versions?
I have an app in PHP which runs from the shell, is it possible to indicate a
preference as to which IP stack is used?
The destination has today enabled IPv6, however, the route via IPv4 is still
a faster route so would like to use IPv4 in preference but do not wish to
simply drop the IPv6 stack as the routing / speed may well improve over
time.
Hello,
I am interested in playing with IPv6, and see from the website that I
should have this on my VPS already. But it doesn't appear to be
autoconfiguring.
,----
| cripps:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
| auto lo
| iface lo inet loopback
|
| auto eth0
| iface eth0 inet static
| address 212.13.194.37
| netmask 255.255.254.0
| gateway 212.13.194.1
|
| iface tun0 inet static
| address 10.0.0.1
| netmask 255.0.0.0
| cripps:~# /sbin/ip -6 addr show dev eth0
| 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
| inet6 fe80::216:3eff:fe14:af00/64 scope link
| valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
| cripps:~# sysctl net.ipv6.conf.default.autoconf
| net.ipv6.conf.default.autoconf = 1
`----
Is the /e/n/i configuration interfering with this somehow? Ideas on
the back of a postcard.
Cheers,
Iain

I am, plus I'm speaking for a little bit within the "Rewiring The
State" talk about Young Rewired State.
Hi,
Is anyone here going to Open Tech 2010 in London tomorrow?
If so I might see you there and we can have an impromptu and unofficial
bitfolk meetup.
I'll be the one with long hair and a red lanyard.
Regards,
@ndy

Hi,
On the afternoon of the 5th September a customer on curacao
attempted to reboot their VPS and encountered an error. They were
then unable to start their VPS at all.
We were also unable to start the VPS, with a very generic "failed"
error message coming back from Xen. Being unable to start the
customer's service, the customer's VPS was eventually moved to
another server.
On further investigation it's proving impossible to create any new
virtual machine on curacao and I believe it's going to require a
reboot to get back into a working state. This needs to be carried
out ASAP since any customer on curacao who shuts down or reboots
their VPS will currently be unable to start it again.
I am therefore about to reboot curacao, starting at 0030Z (01:30am
UK time). Customer VPSes will experience a clean shut down and later
start up again.
I believe the root cause will be a bug in Xen, and curacao is
already scheduled for a major OS upgrade, which will be
accomplished at a later date by moving all of its customers to new
hardware.
The current uptime is 410 days.
Please accept my apologies for the disruption.
Cheers,
Andy
