cbx33and I wanted to install ubuntu12:13
HedgeMagethat is a big problem.12:13
HedgeMagehehe :)12:13
cbx33previously I had windows12:13
HedgeMagethat's a good solution12:13
mhzyeah, Windows rocks!12:13
cbx33meh12:13
cbx33well I have a root partition that was setup12:13
HedgeMagemhz: I meant ubuntu is a good solution :P12:14
cbx33when I installed12:14
cbx33basically I overwrote an ntfs partition12:14
cbx33and that was fine12:14
cbx33I also did the same with a logical partition that used to be ntfs12:14
mhzHedgeMage: yeah, i just could not resist the temptation :)12:14
cbx33and this is uspposed to be mouned at /home/12:14
=== jmolmos [n=leo@pc-2-11-104-200.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu
mhzcbx33: so, what is the issue?12:15
mhzjmolmos: holas12:15
cbx33the problem is12:15
cbx33it refuses to mount it at boot12:15
cbx33even though I can mount it from a knoppix live12:15
mhzcbx33: is it in /etc/fstab?12:15
cbx33and ubuntu obviously mounted it at some point because it creaed the default user there12:15
cbx33yes it is in fstab12:15
mhzcbx33: do you have data in there?12:16
cbx33if I try to mount manually I get mount: /dev/hdc7 already mounted or /home busy12:16
crimsunare you saying / doesn't mount (i.e., the kernel panics), or are you saying that second [logical]  partition isn't automounted?12:16
cbx33the second logical drive will not mount12:16
cbx33not even manually12:16
cbx33I know it's not already mounted 12:16
mhzoh, i see12:16
jmolmosholas mhz 12:16
cbx33and I know the directory isn't busy12:16
crimsunwhat's the output from ``sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdc'' ?12:16
cbx33it's there12:17
mhzjmolmos: en tu lugar de ingresar texto, escribe esto:   /join #edubuntu-es  (y presiona enter)12:17
cbx33/dev/hdc7 2295 6118 30716248+ 83 Linux12:17
mhzhmmm12:17
crimsunand ``mount |grep hdc7'' ?12:17
mhzand the output of  mount?12:17
cbx33it is not mounted12:18
crimsunand its fstab line?12:18
cbx33/dev/hdc7   /home   ext2   defaults   0    112:18
cbx33whoops 12:18
cbx332 for the last number12:19
pygiwhy not 0?12:19
crimsunso I presume you're intending to have a separate /home?12:20
cbx33yes12:20
mhzcbx33: and you say that only 'mount' output gives no mounted point for /home?12:21
crimsunhmm, you /should/ be able to mount over another mountpoint12:21
cbx33the extended partion has a tag of W95 Ext'd (LBA)12:22
cbx33i think it was original extended with windows fdisk utility12:22
crimsunon the off chance that it's your user being logged in, trying enabling root, logging in as root, making sure nothing is accessing /home (using lsof), and then mounting /dev/hdc712:22
cbx33ok12:23
cbx33good idea12:23
cbx33how do i enable root again :p12:23
cbx33never had to do it12:23
cbx33passwd -l root12:23
crimsunno12:24
crimsunsudo -s12:24
crimsunthen passwd12:24
mhzor...12:24
mhzsudo passwd12:24
crimsunI'm pretty sure you don't want to do what -l does semantically12:24
cbx33ok12:24
cbx33crimsun, same message exactly12:27
cbx33and I confirmed nothing is accessing /home12:27
cbx33as I said the funny thing is knoppix will mount it12:28
cbx33and ubuntu obviously did mount it in the past because it wrote my user directory to it12:28
crimsundoes ``dmesg|tail'' offer any clues?12:28
cbx33nope12:29
cbx33nothing12:29
crimsunhow about strace -fF, then?12:29
cbx33what does that do|12:30
cbx33follow forks12:30
cbx33so 12:30
cbx33strace -f mount ....... etc12:30
cbx33ok lots of output12:31
cbx33I'm gonna pipe to a file and pastebin12:31
mhzcbx33: my best tip woul be to boot from LiveCD (gentoo livecd is great and faster) and mount/umount the partition you have issues with12:34
cbx33already done that12:34
mhzand once everything is ok, you edit fstab accordingly12:34
=== LaserJock is now known as Laser_away
cbx33it works fine on live cd12:34
cbx33but not in ubuntu12:34
mhzcbx33: yeah, but ubuntu live cd 'automount' stuff12:35
cbx33it was the knopix live cd12:35
cbx33i manually mounted it12:35
mhzsame :)12:35
cbx33and was able to read off of it12:35
mhzautomounting usally works so magically that we never see issues12:35
cbx33crimsun, http://pastebin.ca/7997212:36
cbx33mhz, it wasn't auto mounted12:36
cbx33i manually mounted it with a simpke mount command12:36
mhzoh, and what if you edit your current fstab, comment the line about /hdc712:37
mhzand mount it manually again12:37
cbx33same thing12:37
cbx33I have manually pointed it to a diferent path12:37
cbx33#12:37
cbx334751  mount("/dev/hdc7", "/home", "ext2", MS_POSIXACL|MS_ACTIVE|MS_NOUSER|0xec0000, 0x8077b50) = -1 EBUSY (Device or resource busy)12:37
cbx33line 164 in the pastebin12:38
mhzcbx33: and what is you format it again?12:38
mhzis = if12:38
=== foxfire [n=foxfire@static24-72-92-91.regina.accesscomm.ca] has joined #edubuntu
cbx33I have already done that12:38
cbx33removed the partition and recreated it12:38
=== Zaire [n=foxfire@static24-72-92-91.regina.accesscomm.ca] has joined #edubuntu
=== mhz scratches his head...why would MS_POSIXACL stuff appear?
cbx33it's the Device or resource busy that' bothering me12:40
cbx33how can I check that12:40
cbx33someone on a forum said something about libdevmapper doing something sometimes12:40
cbx33i dunno12:40
crimsunmore troubling is the /sbin/mount.ext212:40
crimsunwe, um, don't have that.12:40
cbx33y?12:40
cbx33it does the same even if it's ext312:41
cbx33it was that originally12:41
crimsunit shouldn't even be looking for /sbin/mount.ext212:41
cbx33but i recreated the partition in knoppix12:41
cbx33which doesn't do ext312:41
crimsunthat's fine.12:41
cbx33so any further things to check12:42
cbx33it says it's busy12:42
cbx33y?12:42
cbx33hmmm12:43
crimsunsec, let me try something.12:43
=== mhz is not sure /hdc7 has been formted well
cbx33it was formatted by ubuntu install and had data on it12:43
mhzi had similar issues with CF cards12:43
cbx33I have since re formatted with knoppix12:44
cbx33thanks crimsun 12:44
crimsunok, red herring (whew)12:45
cbx33:(12:46
crimsunit's supposed to look for /sbin/mount* first12:46
cbx33ah ok12:46
crimsuncan you pastebin dmesg, too?12:47
cbx33sure12:47

crimsunis hdc1 your / ?12:51
cbx33yes12:51
cbx33i can try removing and recreating the partition again if you want12:51
crimsunplease12:51
cbx33oh and I can quite happily mount hdc612:52
cbx33it is the boot parition for the fedora install12:52
crimsunif it's not a geometry issue, the only thing I can think of is some sort of attribute{,s} that prevent it being mounted?12:52
cbx33just rebooting then I'll check flags etc12:53
cbx33can someone give me a quick line for mke2fs to create the filesystem12:54
crimsunmkfs.ext3 /dev/hdc712:56
cbx33ok12:56
cbx33something interesting here12:56
crimsunit /should/ error12:57
cbx33/dev/hdc7 is apprently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here12:57
crimsunright.12:57
cbx33good/bad ?12:57
cbx33consistent12:57
crimsunwell, it's bad, but at least it's consistent.12:57
crimsuncan you ``umount /dev/hdc7''?12:57
cbx33not mounted12:58

crimsunshould be fine.01:02
crimsunGoogle reveals only corner cases01:04
crimsunrather unhelpful01:04
cbx33i know01:04
crimsunthat's just odd, colour me puzzled01:05
crimsunhow about ``mount -o remount,rw /home'' ?01:05
crimsunthere's some strange kernel<->mount interaction here.01:06
crimsun"EBUSY: Source is already mounted. Or, it cannot be remounted read-only, because it still holds files open for writing. Or, it cannot be mounted on target because target is still busy (it is the working directory of some task, the mount point of another device, has open files, etc.). Or, it could not be unmounted because it is busy."01:07

bimberi#kubuntu01:14
cbx33i just tried mounting with the -f option01:14
cbx33and it mounted01:15
bimberiargh, there was supposed to be a /j before that01:15
cbx33but on closer inspection it didn't mount01:15
cbx33mtab said it was mounted01:15
cbx33but i created a dir01:15
cbx33unmounted, which it complainedabout anyway01:16
cbx33and the dir was still there01:16
cbx33well I'm stumped too01:18
cbx33my plan is to do the following01:18
cbx33move the fedora boot partition out of the extended partition and to a nother parition on the disk with dd01:18
=== bluekuja [n=andrea@ubuntu/member/bluekuja] has joined #edubuntu
cbx33then remove that extended partition altogether01:18
cbx33and recreate as necessary01:18
cbx33make sense?01:18
crimsunyep01:19
cbx33it's just difficult cos the fedora parition is lvm01:20
cbx33and so I have to modify the fstab cos the boot partition will have moved01:21
cbx33but01:21
cbx33oooh01:21

cbx33ok I'll have to sort that out when I get home11:59
cbx33unfortunately she uses a windows system most of the time as she needs fireworks/dreamweaver12:00
cbx33and she currently uses outlook express12:00
cbx33I plan to install thunderbird tonight12:00
cbx33and setup gpg12:00
ogragreat :)12:00
cbx33cos otherwise LP won't be able to verify the key12:00
cbx33and hence can't sign the CoC12:01
ograLP will verify the key against the keyserver12:01
cbx33yes12:01
cbx33but they send you an encrypted email12:01
ograoh, thats new :)12:01
cbx33if now I wanted to transfer her secret key to another computer12:02
cbx33what would I do?12:02
=== ogra signed his CoC before LP existed
cbx33heh12:02
highvoltageogra: by fax? ;)12:02
ograhighvoltage, nah, by mail sent to mako :)12:03
cbx33heh12:03
cbx33how do I move her key?12:03
jsgotangcoi sent it via fax before hahaha12:03
jsgotangcocbx33: move? you mean move to another machine export it12:04
cbx33yes12:04
cbx33does export export the secrect key12:04
jsgotangcoif you indicate so12:04
cbx33ok i think i found it here12:05
cbx33  gpg --export-key (thekey) > mykeyfile.gpg  gpg --export-secret-key (thekey) >> mykeyfile.gpg12:05
cbx33then import 12:05
cbx33gpg --import mykeyfile.gpg12:05
jsgotangcoprofit12:05
cbx33profit?12:06
highvoltagei think i sent it by fax to mako too, but not sure if he received it, i didn't get a response back. that was like, just before LP though.12:06
ograits also helpful to burn it to a CD and lock that somewhere12:06
cbx33ok12:06
cbx33from that you can generate revokes yes ?12:06
ograso if your machine crashes you have a backup ... 12:06
RobinShephearddaft question, has anyone seen the madduck blog about the tension between debian and ubuntu http://blog.madduck.net/debian/2006.05.24-ubuntu-and-debian12:07

ograhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperSummitParis/Photos04:46
RobinShepheardahh, I can see he used some imagination for some of the names ;)04:46
RobinShepheardI wish I could have made it, maybe next year04:48
RobinShepheardogra, if I want to run a command over ssh eg 'ssh serveradd top' can I run it and grab the output in python, and if so where would I find it??04:49
RobinShepheardwould it be part of the twisted framework??04:49
ograno idea, i never used twisted04:49
RobinShepheards/serveradd/server address/04:49
ograbut the output of ssh should generally go to stdout04:49
RobinShepheardahh ok, as I am trying to learn python I am trying to re-write stuff I did in perl, and a utility for finding process id's on a remote server is the latest routine needed04:51
RobinShepheardthen it will kill said pid04:51
RobinShepheardI would put python on the server but you can only install python if you have installed x on sco and we don't want x on our server04:52
ograwhat a strange policy04:52
RobinShepheardthe server runs our accounting database and it is an unnecessary load and makes it a bit easier for a user to fiddle if they got access to the server room04:53
RobinShepheardso we have no X system, problem is the default vol package for python has a dependancy on one of the x libraries for some reason04:54

ograwe dont fit well if it comes to specs it seems ... somehow there is always a point where we clash and just upset each other ... 05:45
ograbut i need to find a solution for the SCP spec now 05:45
ograbut i refuse to write up every single step how to implement a standard dbus servise ... ian mailed mdz, so we'll see what happens ...05:46
ogra(i'd just ask another reviewer, but i dont want to upset ian even more ...)05:47
ograwhat makes me angry is that he agreed to just review the part that was required, but then dissed the whole spec ...05:48

sbalneavanything I can do on the fullyautomaticswapserver one?05:57
RobinShephearddoes anyone know what port ltsp uses off the top of their head?? if not I shall go a hunting for the info05:58
sbalneavwhat do you mean, "what port ltsp uses"?05:58
RobinShepheardthat is the port the clients connect to, is it 2205:58
sbalneavLTSP uses a bunch of ports.  22 for ssh, NFS ports for the filesystem, etc.05:58
sbalneavAre you trying to do some firewall stuff?05:59
RobinShepheardI knew about the nfs ports, I was wondering if ldm used the standard ssh port really05:59
sbalneavyes,  22's the one, in that case.05:59
RobinShepheardsbalneav, well sort of, I am working on producing a full load balanced ha-cluster05:59
ograheh06:00
ograhave fun with that :)06:00
RobinShepheardand so I need to use netfilter and iptables to route all the traffic06:00
ograneuralis has written some stuff about it ... i dont have the url anymore, but he's in #ubuntu-devel06:00
sbalneavRobinShepheard: that and #ltsp06:00
RobinShepheardogra, I am sort of cheating, I have the no starch press book 'linux enterprise clusters'06:00
sbalneavSince when did getting info out of a book become cheating? :)06:01
RobinShepheardthe clustering doesn't look TOO difficult at first glance,06:01
sbalneavIf THATs the case, I've been cheating my whole career!06:01
sbalneav:)06:01
=== sbalneav hangs head in shame :)
RobinShepheardsbalneav, well if I was a hardened hacker ;) i would just use the source and man pages06:02
sbalneavMeh, we all read books.06:02
sbalneavreading is a GOOD thing.06:02
RobinShepheardthe book is aimed at redhat so I am having to adapt it a little06:02
ogramdz, any hint what i should do with the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StudentControlPanelCompletion spec ? it wont work if i go on with iwj but i dont want to upset him more by getting it approved by another reviewer who already approved the section ian complains about 06:03
RobinShepheardsbalneav, I love reading and I love books, a bit too much really having spent about 150 in the last 2 months on books06:03
mdzogra: I have an email in my inbox about it which I will read and reply to06:04
ogramdz, you should have two :) thanks 06:04
ograsbalneav, the swap server spec is rodarvus' i dont know if there is still changes needed ...06:06
=== ogra takes a look
ograthere are only two comments that are easily adressed ...06:08
sbalneavI just clarified them slightly right now.06:10
=== ogra reloads
RobinShepheardpygi, the cook book meeting, is that in 2 hours??06:10
ograsbalneav, hmm06:10
ogra"The nbd-server needs to be modified to automatically create a swapfile on the fly if a client connects to it, and requests swap space in the form of a file."06:10
ogradoesnt it get exported as a *device* to the client 06:11
pygiRobinShepheard, probably06:11
ograi think the *file* is only used locally on the server, but through nbd it becomes a bolck device 06:11
ograor am i wrong ?06:11
sbalneavErrm, maybe I've muddled it more. :) Let me check.06:12
sbalneavgimme a minute or two06:12
rodarvusogra, you're right06:12
RobinShepheardpygi, well the fridge say 2 hours but it is quite a bit earlier than usual so I thought I would check06:12

ograerr, wait, swapserver isnt right yet06:46
ograthe difference between swapfiles and devices isnt cearified yet06:47

ograand we should mention somewhere that the minimum to boot without network swap is currently 48MB06:47
rodarvusogra, do you want to update it?06:48
ograas you like ... i can do it06:48
sbalneavI added in the 32 meg target in the rationale06:48
ograsbalneav, yes, but it doesnt talk about the minimum without swap (which justifies why we want to do it at all)06:48
cbx33anyone know any lvm gurus?06:49
sbalneavcorrect.  That should be added.06:49

rodarvus(and I even have a brother living there)08:10

LaserJocksbalneav: Minneapolis? no direct flights from Winnipeg to Paris? ;-)08:17

LaserJockpygi: where is the meeting going to be? and is there an agenda?08:19
pygiLaserJock,1) #ubuntu-meeting, 2)Not sure, probably there is ^_^08:20
sbalneavLaserJock: I got invited to speak at a teachers conference about LTSP, which I had agreed to almost a year ago.  Then Ubuntu Paris came along. :)  It was just easier to organize the Paris trip from minneapolis.  The conference was Friday, and the trip was saturday, so it just made sense.08:22
LaserJockah08:24
LaserJockI just thought maybe you Canuks just liked the US so much ;-) 08:25
sbalneavThe vast majority of us like America, and Americans a lot.08:34
sbalneavIt's just your gorvernments we sometimes take issue with :)08:34
sbalneavHowever, OT for the channel :)08:34
mdzrodarvus: is it not possible to take the decision on xubuntu-desktop/edubuntu-xfce-desktop in advance?08:34
rodarvusmdz, not really - we talked with janimo on the subject, and he was not assured whether it would be needed or not08:35
rodarvusthe general consensus, though, is that it will very likely be necessary to create the new meta-package08:37
mdzrodarvus: if it will be separate, then there needs to be some contingency for keeping them in sync, since it will basically be a derivative of the xubuntu desktop seed08:38
rodarvusmdz, indeed, you're right08:38
mdzrodarvus: my suggestion would be to create a new xubuntu seed with the basic desktop, and have the xubuntu desktop seed and edubuntu xfce desktop seed depend on it08:38
rodarvusI like the idea08:39
rodarvusogra?08:39
rodarvus(are you there?)08:39
rodarvusmdz, though we'd probably need to hear from ogra and janimo if its ok for the two of them08:40
ograrodarvus, now i am08:41
ogra(sorry, had to care for my girl)08:41
=== ogra reads up
rodarvusnp08:41
ograsounds good i dont think there is a problem with a regular seed i merge from xubuntu 08:43
ograthe xubuntu one would only need -desktop ... not the other stuff so thats only one additional file to maintain08:45
ogra(and one additional package indeed)08:46
=== arkan0x [n=arkan0x@pc-6-76-214-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu
ograrodarvus, so we'd do the following: branch the xubuntu seed and modify the desktop part of it, grab the xubuntu-meta source package and disable the generation of everything but xubuntu-desktop and name it edubuntu-xfce-desktop ... 08:47
rodarvusogra, I believe mdz proposed for us to not have duplicated work, in this case (which is a good idea)08:48
ograwe regulary merge the seed with xubuntu08:48
rodarvusso, cooperation with xubuntu would be beneficial08:48
ograi'm a bit worried about space ...08:49
ograthe basic desktop for xubuntu will include more than just xfce i guess08:49
ograin fact we can only get details about it from janimo ... who is MIA since paris08:50

RobinShepheardahh, will it be a requirement to join that one as well then??10:00
pygiRobinShepheard, no, don't worry10:00
LaserJockwell, I was going to say that usually doc team membership usually comes after working in the repo for a while10:00
RobinShepheardok, thought i would just check10:00
LaserJockso it might be nice to get things in the doc team repo10:00
pygiLaserJock, right, but we already worked on cookbook, so we can commit that :P10:01

ograpygi, yes, i didnt know what to do after my argument with iwj about it ... waiting for a sign10:03
pygiogra, lemme try to talk with him if you allow? ^_^10:04
LaserJockso what I'm saying is this, perhaps you should set up your repo but also start it out in the doc team repo so that you can send patches every once in a while to the -doc list so that the doc team can evaluate your abilities of becomeing a team member10:04
pygioki, that's fine LaserJock :)10:04
ograpygi, he wants that we *exactly* describe how to implement a dbus listener that only reacts on a namespace and uses default auth 10:04
pygiogra, why would we want to do that? :-/10:04

HedgeMagebefore you go, anyone who needs/wants commit access to the temp repo please /msg me you name, email address, and desired username10:08
RobinShepheardHedgeMage, will I need commit access? and if I do how do I use it??10:08

pygiah :P11:58
ogramhz, to make edubuntu, first become main developer and get access to the cd build infrastructure ...11:59
Amaranthheh12:00
ogramhz, thats really very tightly integrated into the ubuntu development ...12:00
Amaranthit's mostly just packaging and seeds12:00
ograi cant really distinguish between edubuntu and ubuntu apart from doing the edubuntu seeds (as documented in the SeedManagement wikipage), building the edubuntu-meta package from it, triggering the CD buildd and caring for edubuntu-artwork12:01
mhzogra: okis..12:02
mhzI'll read SeedManagement first then..12:03
