Title: EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE
Post by: Teddy on April 23, 2016, 10:58:29 pm
Hello,

Due to an unforeseeable technical glitch we need to bring down all services and perform emergency maintenance. The downtime is unknown.

Kindly,
Teddy

Bad news we're not able to restore services for some time. An extended downtime should be expected for all services.

Well if I remember correctly, Argonath Minecraft in the past had been hosted by different people/hosts, for example Ben Hells used to host it himself didn't he? No, it wasn't sarcasm...

Almost everything Argonath is currently hosted by Argonath. A few exceptions do exist.

Post by: Teddy on April 24, 2016, 02:02:50 am
Following attempt after attempt we stand at the following:

1) Due to a still unknown error, we are unable to fully regain access to our host.
2) We are not able to gain access to any machine directly in order to start servers.
3) The owner, who can communicate directly with the host, has gone off to bed.

The short of it: Things won't be back tonight.

A wee update:

We're now running diagnostics on the main system to determine what is wrong. We do not yet know what broke, just that something did so we cannot give any estimate to when services will resume.

I * believe * I have identified a cause and currently working on a fix.

After some science and study, we're actually using German input:
(http://images.mentalfloss.com/sites/default/files/styles/insert_main_wide_image/public/kb_germany.png)

The problem is now, the key I need "<" is on a key that doesn't exist on my keyboard. US Keyboard has 12 keys on bottom layout, and German is 13. Even if I change keyboard layout on my side, or input on their end... the key still physically does not exist on my keyboard. ALT Codes also do not work.

Honestly scratching my head at this moment. I have a cert in Linux Administration and I swear this scenario was not in any training I attended :D

Is there a option to change input method from eng to ger? Is there a way to set custom inputs? Sort of like a keybind emulation?

Although that wouldn't really work if copy pasting doesn't..

Tried turning it off and on again?

Title: Re: EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE
Post by: Teddy on April 25, 2016, 02:28:04 am
After nearly a day of downtime we've got almost everything up and running again.

What appears to happen is the main system's update caused a package to corrupt, upon a restart the system refused to turn back on.

After an intervention by the techs and a few extra attempts, we made the system start back up. I of course had a short lived conversation with a tech using the login screen username field which was sort of entertaining.

We then had a problem with the system keyboard layout being different from my own, and it led to hours and hours of attempts to gain access.

Following gaining access, after mostly mixing up an O with an 0... the network manager refused to connect, after yet more work around I was able to restore access and we've now started everything back up.

It seems like when it rains it pours, but we learned from this. One thing led to another problem and things kept collapsing time after time, I almost said fuck it a few times but oi, we got it.

Lessons learned:

- Don't confuse a capital o with a zero.
- Learn french so when you're in a French companies rescue mode you can read it and use it.
- Turning off and on again does not always work... sometimes it doesn't turn back on.
