[Bug 1217933] [NEW] update-grub fails to detect other md OS

2013-08-28 Thread Paul Crawford
Public bug reported: I have a system with two main HDD configured as several md RAID-1 devices and I installed the 32-bit version of 12.04.2 on to one of these partitions (using the alternate installer ISO), with most of the others being user data (e.g. one for /home, another for virtual

Why might it be a mdadm problem? All of the md devices are up and accessible from the 64-bit OS, and the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file appears to match the output of the command ' mdadm --detail --scan' suggesting it is correct. Even if I mount the previous 32-bit systems root partition (that just

2012-05-19 Thread Paul Crawford
It is probably true that this has not been seen much as a bug due to DNS normally being available, hence NIS dependency (if present) being a secondary issue. However, we found that ntp did not recover by itself, so possibly it only tries to find the nameservers once, but will re-try for the time

Yes, it looks very much like the DNS system is broken here, but when I tried to look things up I get Bug #1001189 so overall not impressed with 12.04 so far :( Still, adding some dns-nameservers lines to /etc/network/interfaces is the next obvious thing to try. -- You received this bug

2012-05-18 Thread Paul Crawford
I think this bug should concentrate on the key issue: that ntp (and maybe others?) is being brought up on the wrong event, that is it comes up with the interface, and not with the chosen type of name server. In our case NIS provides user and name server resolution, and ntp comes up before it with

Yes, you are right in that our NIS servers are solaris boxes, and they do support behind-the-scenes DNS lookups as it turns out. It is also true that NIS is depreciated, though a lot of older installations like ours still use it, and for most machines DNS is available and will probably fix our

While I agree that the system should honour the chosen settings (so if you say 'manual time' that is really all you get), I would argue that all systems, desktop and server, should ship with a minimum NTP setup. If the load on the Ubuntu time server is of concern, then you could use the minpoll
