Linux 4.0 ate my docker images

Jun 13, 2015dropbear4 CommentsprocpsCI, debian, docker, procps

I have previously written about the gitlab CI runners that use docker. Yesterday I made some changes to procps and pushed them to gitlab which would then start the CI. This morning I checked and it said build failed – ok, so that’s not terribly unusual. The output from the runner was:

gitlab-ci-multi-runner 0.3.3 (dbaf96f)
Using Docker executor with image csmall/testdebian ...
Pulling docker image csmall/testdebian ...
Build failed with Error: image csmall/testdebian: not found

Hmm, I know I have that image, it just must be the runner so, let’s see what images I have:

$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE

Now, I know I have images, I had about 10 or so of them, where did they go? I even looked in the /var/lib/docker directories and can see the json configs, what have you done with my images docker?

Sneak peek of top graphs

Jun 29, 2014dropbear8 Commentsprocpsprocps, Programming

Jim has been busy as part of the procps-ng team that looks after top. Basically all the changes you find in top from around 2.7 or so are by him. Not satisfied enough with fixing top, making it faster and showing more fields, he has given us CPU and memory graphs. He also thinks I…

Debian's procps 3.3.9

Dec 16, 2013dropbear1 Commentprocpsdebian, Distributions, Init, Operating system, Pidof, RedHat

While the upstream procps which was released last week has a new pidof, the Debian package will continue to not have that binary and the Debian sysvint-utils package will continue to have that file. That stops any messy procps splits and putting one part into Essential etc. This may mean that one distributions pidof doesn’t…

procps-ng 3.3.9

Dec 3, 2013dropbear1 Commentprocpsprocfs, procps

Procps version 3.3.9 was released today. As there has been some API changes and fixes which means the library has changed again. There is a fine balance between fixing or enhancing library functions and keeping the API stable, with the added problem it wasn’t a terribly good one to start with. Besides the API change,…

pidof moving to procps

Aug 9, 2013dropbear2 Commentsdebian, procps, Softwaredebian, Distributions, Init, Linux, Linux Standard Base, Pidof

pidof is a program that finds the PID of a named program. In some ways it is like a cut-down pgrep found in the procps package. pidof currently sits in sysvinit-tools. There are plans to move all utilities that use the proc filesystem under one package which will make the maintenance of them simpler, which…

Procps-ng 3.38 was released yesterday. Besides the bug fixes,there have been two main enhancements: NUMA and systemd support. top comes with NUMA support which is a soft dependency, meaning that if compilied with the support, top will try to link at runtime to libnuma. The new key presses are ‘2’ and ‘3’ which will show…

Yesterday was a busy Debian day for me with the release of not one but two packages. procps procps version 3.3.6 was released both as an upstream and a Debian package. While there were many bug fixes in this release, the main new feature for it was the top inspect feature. The top inspect feature…

procps-ng 3.3.5

Oct 30, 2012dropbearprocpsApplication programming interface, Linux, Operating Systems, Util-linux

Are you using procps 3.3.4? My suggestion is you don’t! An API change slipped through which mean if you tried to run procps 3.3.5 on libproc 3.3.4 it did strange things. One of those strange things is ps ax crashes. Top looked rather interesting as well. This in turn upsets the boot sequence around mounting…
