Arch Linux on VirtualBox network problems - networking

I've installed ArchLinux with VB on MacOS. I have network problems, I cannot resolve addresses. When trying pacman -S htop for example I get the following error :
:: Retrieving packages from extra...
error: failed retrieving file 'htop-1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from mir1.archlinux.fr : Could not resolve host: mir1.archlinux.fr; Name or service not known
warning: failed to retrieve some files from extra
error: failed to commit transaction (download library error)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
If I ping mir1.archlinux.fr I get a response. I'm running Network in Nat Mode.
PS: If I run In Bridge Mode I have no problems.
Can someone help me fixing this problem?

Nevermind... disabling ipv6 fixed the problem.!

Check your /etc/resolve.conf or even change for opendns/google DNS.
Then check any domain like:
dig http://stackoverflow.com
finally:
pacman -Syu

Hiveserver2: could not start ThriftHttpCliService

I'm attempting to enable SSL on hiveserver2.
I can run in the default binary mode fine. http mode works no problem. As soon as I enable SSL through hive-site.xml, i'm faced with the following error.
ERROR [Thread-28] thrift.ThriftCLIService: Error starting HiveServer2: could not start ThriftHttpCLIService
java.net.BindException: Address already in use
There is nothing using any of the ports, prior to starting hiveserver2. Checked with netstat -tupln
Ports i've configured in hive-site.xml are
hive.server2.webui.port 11002
hive.server2.thrift.http.port 11001
hive.server2.thrift.port 11000
and invoking hiveserver2 via the service /opt/hive/bin/hive --service hiveserver2 &
O/S ubuntu (on kubernetes)
Hive version 3.0.0
Any help greatly appreciate. Google search for problems with ThriftHTTPCliService came up short.
For anyone that come across this post.
I upgraded to Hive 3.1.0, along with the metastore schema.
This fixed the issue, although unsure as to the underlying cause.

Vagrant & Virtualbox in Windows 10; Error renaming connection

I tried to run a vagrant setup using the latest versions of Vagrant VirtualBox and windows 10 (latest update):
Vagrant 1.8.6
VirtualBox 5.1.8 r111374 (Qt5.5.1)
If I set in my Vagrant file
config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.33.10"
I get this error:
Error renaming connection:
Cannot rename this connection. A connection with the name you specified already exists. Specify a different name.
Sofar I tried installing/removing both vagrant and virtualbox, I even downgraded and upgraded.. Restarted my compuiter several times, switched off my proxy, followed every crazy hack out there but I always get that error.
I even went to regedit and deleted all the related keys there but no success!
The output of the console:
vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Clearing any previously set network interfaces...
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
Command: ["hostonlyif", "create"]
Stderr: 0%...

VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter

After some deep researching on this issue, I finally found two things that should be done:
I cleared existing VM machines and deleted those folders C:\Users\{user}\.VirtualBox and C:\Users\{user}\VirtualBox VMs restart the computer.
Whenever I changed the IP address of the machine, I run vagrant halt && vagrant reload && vagrant up --provision
This fixed the issue.

502 Bad Gateway Nginx & Chef Server

I've upgraded my chef server. Then I ran chef-server-ctl reconfigure successfully.
However, when I ran chef-server-ctl test, I got error:
Encountered an error attempting to create client pedant_admin_client
Response Code was: 502
502 Bad Gateway
nginx/1.4.4
Can anyone help me?
tl;dr
sudo chef-server-ctl upgrade
WARNING: my org was preserved, but your results may vary
I ran into this too. I suspect an unexpected. "apt-get upgrade". For me all checks pass in status.
chef-server-ctl status
but this failed
sudo chef-server-ctl test
I ran this for more details (beware thousands of lines of output ;- )
sudo chef-server-ctl tail
and found this gem: (note the ".." in the path indicating a path misconfig)
2015-08-24_23:00 mkdir: cannot create directory '/opt/opscode/embedded/service/rabbitmq/sbin/../var': Permission denied
I then ran this and it worked
sudo chef-server-ctl upgrade
Ran into the same thing: Here is what I did to solve the problem.
Chef has logs but a lot of services. Check which one is failing
chef-server-ctl status will indicate what is down.
Go look at that log under
/var/log/chef-server/<problem-service>/current
My particular problem was
2014-09-27_17:33:32.41439 FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Invalid argument
2014-09-27_17:33:32.41441 DETAIL: Failed system call was shmget(key=5432001, size=4050755584, 03600).
2014-09-27_17:33:32.41442 HINT: This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared memory segment exceeded your kernel's SHMMAX parameter. You can either reduce the request size or reconfigure the kernel with larger SHMMAX. To reduce the request size (currently 4050755584 bytes), reduce PostgreSQL's shared memory usage, perhaps by reducing shared_buffers or max_connections.
Thus all I needed to do was chef-server-ctl reconfigure
problem solved

Strange Vagrant error message: 'Unable to create a host network interface'

I have a Vagrant machine based on VirtualBox that has some problems (see Vagrant crashes depending on physical network). Now I tried running it on another piece of hardware (with OS X Mavericks), and got the following error message:
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
Command: ["hostonlyif", "create"]
Stderr: VBoxManage: error: Unable to create a host network interface
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component Host,
interface IHost, callee nsISupports
Context: "CreateHostOnlyNetworkInterface (hif.asOutParam(),
progress.asOutParam())" at line 64 of file VBoxManageHostonly.cpp
What does this mean?
For the error to appear I run
$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
[default] Clearing any previously set forwarded ports...
[default] Creating shared folders metadata...
[default] Clearing any previously set network interfaces...
… and then it crashes. Any ideas?
Oh, by the way: It's Vagrant 1.3.5 and VirtualBox 4.1.18.
sudo /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox/VirtualBox restart
worked for me, see https://coderwall.com/p/ydma0q
The popular answer seems to be modprobe vboxnetadp (for Linux) or /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox/VirtualBox restart (for Mac).
However, the fix for me was to add myself to the vboxusers group and relogin.

Devstack - Changing IP address after installation

I have devstack installed on a ubuntu 12.04 and I could get logged into Dashboard , Now I changed the IP of my ubuntu machine. After changing the IP, I couldn't log into Dashboard anymore
I gets the following error message. I can see my old IP in the error message.
ConnectionError at /auth/login/
HTTPConnectionPool(host='OLD_IP_ADDRESS', port=35357): Max retries exceeded with url: /v2.0/tokens (Caused by <class 'socket.error'>: [Errno 113] No route to host)

'/opt/stack/python-glanceclient',
'/opt/stack/python-cinderclient',
Is there a documented procedure available to change the IP address manually ?
My New IP doesn't have connection to internet so I wouldn't be able to redeploy devstack
Thanks guys for your answers..
I missed to update my answer, I fixed that issue in an easy way.
Solution is first run unstack.sh and then run stack.sh once more. It will do the necessary fix. Since I haven't made much progress with Devstack after installation it makes me more confident to run stack.sh
For the second time when you run stack.sh its not needed to connect to internet, So my issue is fixed.
Feel free to share your thoughts on this.
You will need to change the IP address hard-coded in OpenStack configuration files generated by devstack. They are stored in /etc/ and elsewhere.

Here's a few steps I've taken to get back online.
backup the answers file...
cp packstack-answers-20130417.txt packstack-answers.txt-SAVE
replace ip addresses...
sed -i '/s/10\.10\.248\.11/10\.32\.70\.10/g' packstack-answers-20130417.txt
Delete the cinder loopback devices, installer fails if it exists
losetup -d /dev/loop0
List what's left mounted via the loop.
losetup -a
rm /var/lib/cinder/cinder-volumes
Now rerun the deploy scripts
packstack --answer-file=packstack-answers-20130417.txt
Fix up other IP addressing concerns with nova-manage in the CLI.
Should work from here.
