Server maintenance
« on: August 26, 2014, 08:00:11 pm »

The server will be down for some time in the next few hours for maintenance. TeamSpeak, IRC, and other services will not available during the maintenance. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

lavakill, that was caused by the teamspeak server being down. That error will not show again. It will say something short like "Cannot query TS status" in the future.

Everything seems to be running again, apart from some config issues. In about 7 hours, our provider will be doing some hardware maintenance, interrupting power to our server for ~10 minutes, but we need to shut down the server before that and restart things after that so it might take a bit longer.

As for the maintenance done: enlarge user home dir disk, upgrade ubuntu to 14.04, datacenter power maintenance. The Ubuntu upgrade was painful, because VMware tools caused unjustified out-of-memory messages which broke the entire installation somewhere halfway, requiring for recovery. Let us know if there is anything that does not work as expected.

Servers shutdown for the power maintenance. I hope all applications on W8 start correctly, as I wasn't able to login properly in time I decided to shut it down from the login screen, as to prevent other possible damage due to a sudden powerloss.

It seems that power is restored and the server is booted/booting up again :)
