[Bug 512200] Re: LXC does not work with lucid host and lucid container

2010-02-01 Thread sweetsinse
Thomas Bechtold and friends, the lxc-ps command i think is buggy, and
the -n flag doesnt work, try using --name instead.  the output you are
seeing is NOT inside the container, it is the same as what you would see
if you simply typed ps.  if the process was running in a
container/cgroup you would see the container name next to the process,
like this:

c...@ph1 ~ $ lxc-ps --name guest-personal-tony
CONTAINERPID TTY  TIME CMD
guest-personal-tony  4281 ?00:00:01 init
guest-personal-tony  4318 ?00:00:00 syslog-ng
guest-personal-tony  4319 ?00:00:00 syslog-ng
guest-personal-tony  4370 ?00:00:00 crond
guest-personal-tony  5768 pts/300:00:00 login
guest-personal-tony  5769 pts/300:00:00 bash
guest-personal-tony 25747 pts/300:00:00 su
guest-personal-tony 25748 pts/300:00:00 bash
guest-personal-tony 25851 pts/300:15:27 python
guest-personal-tony 31858 ?00:00:00 dhcpcd
guest-personal-tony 32503 ?00:00:00 git-daemon

another way of seeing the processes is to look at the cgroup itself:

c...@ph1 ~ $ cat /vps/var/cgroup/guest-personal-tony/tasks
you will see a list of pids running within this cgroup

cgroup is a psuedo filesystem, and everything you can do with
containers/LXC can be managed by manipulating/echoing values into the
files within a mounted cgroup.  if you create a folder in a cgroup, you
effectively begin a hierarchy of groups/aggregated processes, each with
their own limits; notice that once you make a folder in a mounted
cgroup, all the device files automagically appear inside it, ready to be
manipulated.  each process on the system must belong to one and only one
node in the hierarchy.  read this for a better understanding:

http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/cgroups.txt

to use lxc-console, you must enable tty's inside the container with this
configuration option:

lxc.tty = N

where N is the number of tty's you want the container to have.  lxc-*
tools will connect a pty in the host to a tty in the container.  the
container is responsible for runny a getty or some kind of handler on
the tty.  if you enable 3 tty's, you can lxc-console into the container
3 independent times.  i use an autologin binary and some agetty options
to autologin as root anyone entering from the host.

bodhi.zazen, im not sure if ubuntu has the latest lxc-* tools, the -d
problem you having could be related to that, because i run all my
containers with that option.  however, i have noticed my container's (i
can't confirm this for ubuntu based containers yet) networking does not
come up right away for interfaces that are DHCP based on a bridge.  i
tried setting the bridge forward delay to zero:

brctl setfd bridge name 0

but that doesn't seem to help, and i'm still investigating this.

also this probably should be handled more gracfully on lxc-*'s part, but
the resource busy is a consequence of killing the lxc-start process,
and thus the cgroups dont get cleanup up properly.  make sure you kill
the process lxc-start STARTED, i.e. /sbin/init (it will be the pid+1 of
lxc-start), and not lxc-start itself

2010-01-29 Thread sweetsinse
to elaborate on the resource busy issue... you need to remove/kill the
running processes from the cgroup in order to remove the folder.

view the tasks with:

$ cat /cgroup/ubuntu-lucid/tasks
all the pids assigned to this cgroup

$ kill -15 all the pids assigned to above cgroup

most processes should die, unless it was pid one in the container, then
it will need a kill -9.  after that you can:

$ rmdir /cgroup/ubuntu-lucid

so long as there are no more nested directories under /cgroup/ubuntu-
lucid.

[Bug 512200] Re: LXC does not work with lucid host and lucid container

2010-01-28 Thread sweetsinse
there could be other problems, but you need to define a config file with
lxc-create (the -f option).  specifically you need the option:

lxc.rootfs = wherever you just debootstrapped

to be defined.  otherwise, the rootfs will be the shared with the host.
anything that is not defined in the config file is shared with the host
(network stack, hostname, resources, etc) specifically in the rootfs
case, newer revisions of lxc-* tools will not even allow you to get as
far as you did (sharing the rootfs doesnt make sense for a system
container).  see this thread for more details:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1382823

i will rebuild the package from debian to mirror the dependencies in the

also according to people on the mailing list this package:

https://gutefee.massey.ac.nz/moin/Python/3D?action=AttachFiledo=viewtarget
=python-visual_5.11-1_i386.deb

was built from karmic sources with build-dep/buildpackage'ed into a
working jaunty package for himself, and he claims it works perfectly.
however, i could not get that package to work with a vanilla jaunty
install, nor the official package on a vanilla karmic install.

same result/sigsegv on both.

tried the build-deps thinking maybe the package was simply missing
something in the deps, even tried rebuilding the package that way, same
result, segfault.

since the guy that made those packages got it to work, it seems there is
just a missing dependency or something.

[Bug 128803] Re: [Gutsy] very slow gnome startup

2008-02-11 Thread sweetsinse
if you want it free youve got to be willing to spend some time wrestling
with it..

luckily ubuntu has worked very well on the several machines i have
installed it on, for myself and others.  however every single one of
them had quirks, some of which took a LONG time to figure out, and other
less serious ones i have yet to figure out.

the nice part about problems is it forces you to get personal with your
machine and actually learn what the computer is doing rather than simply
looking at a splash screen?

if you can, put ubuntu back on the machine, all updates, then make a
bootchart..  that little program was very useful in diagnosing problems
because it visually attaches the time elapsed to individual processes.
it has allowed me to explore the scripts in my system i did not even
know about.


sudo apt-get install bootchart


the charts (pictures) will be in /var/log/bootchart/

make one of those during the 5 minute wait and maybe we can visually see
the culprit in your specific installation.

another possibility would be to disable usplash altogether, so you can
see the output instead?  an easy way to accomplish this:


sudo apt-get install startupmanager


then look under System  Settings  Start-up Manager
good luck to ya

2008-01-13 Thread sweetsinse
i since ditched feisty and went back to messing with gutsy.  gutsy is in
all a very good developmental release and i hope to see splendiferous
things from hardy.

this time however i installed xubuntu.

i enabled compiz/emerald/NetworkManager, and have not had any of the
problems described herein.  i have read about a bug with compiz that
kills the (gnome?)panels as i described above--i still think this may be
an underlying issue for many.  on my specific machine, i can tell that
all applets/panels are loading, but i just cant see ANYTHING until they
are all completely loaded.  modified bootcharts confirm this.  i have
read that others compiling the most recent versions of compiz do not
encounter this either.

i installed gnome over the top of xubuntu and still the problem
persists.  i may compile compiz from git and see if that takes care of
it, not worried about upgrading to hardy, i always do a clean install.

peace

in fact i triggered 2 'force checks' on my laptop so i rebooted at least
60 times haha

anyway, i have a few interesting things to report.  i am running Gutsy
final with all updates as of 10 minutes ago.

before i say anything about compiz/etc., i wanted to ask/point out a few
things.

first, while looking into this problem i noticed others having their gui
desktop completely freeze after enabling/disabling certain startup apps
and then attempting to press the logout button; additionally, some
experienced this after mysterious errors earlier in the day but did not
notice a problem until they tried to log out.  i encountered this very
thing when attempting to barebone my session down to essentials and
pinpoint this 'slow' boot reason.  i disabled all plugins to compiz
using CCSM, except 'dbus' and 'workarounds'--additionally i disabled ALL
startup options in PreferencesSessions (i will brief upon another
possible bug regarding this in a moment).  under this config i still got
a brief moment (always2sec) of gnome-panels before everything goes
black for 15-20 seconds.  HOWEVER, when i tried to reboot using the
logout button, my computer locked up.  the source of the problem was due
to 'Power Manager' being disabled in PreferencesSessions.  my guess is
the logout button is trying to query said program to try and determine
if 'hibernate' or 'suspend' should be an available option on the logout
screen.  this bug is reproducible simply by disabling 'Power Manager'
under PreferencesSessions, rebooting, and attempting to log out using
the gui button.

second, even though i had disabled ALL startup apps except 'Power
Manager' , bootcharts would sometimes show these apps initiating.  this
may have been because i hard reset my laptop the time before because of
the logout bug i described above.  also i could not figure out how to
disable the deskbar applet at all, but i am confident this has nothing
to do with our issues.

third, not related but someone might want to file a bug rep. in the
appropriate place, nm-applet will occasionally place the 'Wireless key
needed' dialog on the desktop of another user logged in, instead of the
current user.  i was logged in as a regular/desktop user and the dialog
appeared on the poweruser that was logged in.  i had to switch users to
enter the WEP key.

fourth, i noticed this EVERY time in compiz and only once with metacity; 
xsession will try and initialize gnome-volume-manager and gnome-power-manager 
only to by terminated within less than a second and reinitialized by either 
init or getty.  bootchart:
http://sweetsinsemilla.googlepages.com/compizdbus-workarounds-pwrMAN-slow_a.png
which leads to my final ?'ion.

fifth, why do some bootcharts show init starting many gnome-* apps, and other 
show getty?  i viewed subsequent charts and there appeared to be no reason for 
the swapping...not sure the repercussions of this.  lastly, 
gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-vfs-daemon will sometimes be initialized by 
dbus-daemon, other times by getty, and still others by init...  does this even 
matter?  this behaving was very sporadic in compiz but very consistent with 
metacity. some bootcharts:
metacity:

http://sweetsinsemilla.googlepages.com/metacity-noapps-quick_but_freeze.png

compiz:

http://sweetsinsemilla.googlepages.com/gutsy-20071115-7.png
(see bootchart @ #4)

IN SHORT(kinda): i discovered many others to be having problems with the
ubuntu package of compiz.  i think the wrapper script 'compiz' is
sending the wrong params to 'compiz.real'.  i had no problems whatsoever
when using metacity, with the exception of the logout bug, but that is
independent of the window manager.  all bootcharts showed the same boot
times for both metacity and compiz (compiz a few sec longer for obvious
reasons).  basically, all my apps were loading and my desktop was
there, i just couldnt see it until something 'snapped' it back, about
the time it was completely loaded.  the reason the gnome-panels showed
for a brief period was because the window manager (compiz.real) had not
yet been started.  notice on that bootchart above, compiz.real starts
less than 2 seconds after gnome-panel.  i think this may be the problem
for everyones 'slow startup'.  its not really slow, compiz.real is being
mis configured by the wrapper script (compiz) or something along that
line, and the gui environment is temporarily killed when compiz.real is
actualy initiated.

sorry for the lengthy post; i want to solve this ;)

i too have a somewhat slow bootup time;  nothing to the severity of many
minutes, but still, a significant increase when compared to feisty.

i am running a IBM T43 laptop, and also gutsy is installed on a DELL
INSPIRON B130.  same problem with both.

one thing i do notice after looking @ ps output and also xsession-
errors, is that my first error occurs JUST after gnome-panel loads for
the first time (excluding a setuid error thru gtk+ that seems to arise
from dbus?).  on my laptop specifically (T43)---right after i log in---
the top and bottom gnome-panels load very quickly (no BG image yet),
just like feisty.  however, before they are populated with any icons,
the screen/mouse flickers and the panels disappear.  this is when i
experience about 10-20 seconds of heavy disk i/o time as others have
described.

the interesting part about all that is the fact that nautilus is the
very first thing that is loaded after the panels.  others have claimed
no problems when using xcfe or kde, so this (nautilus) seems to be
contributing somehow?  also, i have since read about similar issues
regarding nautilus and gutsy specifically that did not exist in feisty.

until then.

ok.

nice little bootchart program, wouldve been nice if i could have done
this a little easier tho...

anyways i modified the running parameters of the bootchart program so it would 
not stop running when it gdm/init.d was processed, that way we could get a look 
at what all was happening on my T43 during the 15+sec freeze period.  i 
recorded 85 sec. of time, approximately 65 beyond the point where gdm is 
initialized.  like i said before, blank gnome-panels will come up after about 
3-4 seconds (@36sec), then disappear almost IMMEDIATELY (notice how nautilus is 
initialized RIGHT after the panels in the chart).  the heavy disk i/o seems to 
correlate VERY nicely with nautilus activity(until 51sec).  Although the gap 
also matches well with dhcdbd activity--
--i tried a little fix someone posted about automatically setting resolv.conf 
to 0.0.0.0 to avoid dns issues...no change.

am i waiting on my wireless card, before loading background/panel
apps/etc. in this situation?

im trying to gather info from the chart but its somewhat cryptic to my
novice eyes but i hope it will be of some use.

here is a link in case my attachment doesnt work:

2007-11-13 Thread sweetsinse
forgot to add one little thing...soo tired...

i tried disabling gnome-at-visual (in session preferences {assistive
technology/AT}) because the chart showed a strange 2 seconds of zombie
time after login...  but this did not do anything.  also i seem to have
misinterpreted the chart referring to nautilus...the pink areas are
where nautilus seems to be WAITING due to high disk i/o.  the culprit
here seems to be some kind of change in the networking arena from feisty
to gutsy...be somewheres in nm-applet/dhcdbd/NetworkManager.

figure it out party ppl.
