antdedyetIs setfcaps in Ubuntu?02:26
somerville32Is it a package?02:27
antdedyetsomerville32: No. It's part of the linux kernel capabilities framework. I am testing different methods of privisioning a tap device for use with kvm. setfcaps is  not in libcap-bin or any other package that I can find.02:32
* antdedyet submitted the question to launchpad's answers section02:49
fujinYou must have the Reductive build library in your RUBYLIB.02:59
fujinergh02:59
antdedyet'lo dendrobates03:06
dendrobatesantdedyet: hi03:07
* antdedyet is searching for setfcaps in Ubuntu03:08
antdedyetNothing I've found so far in Ubuntu is both properly creating & provisioning a user owned tap device that can be used with kvm.03:16
antdedyets/creating \& provisioning/creates \& provisions/03:17
dendrobatesantdedyet: hmm, I don't use tap with kvm, but I'll look into it.03:21
antdedyetdendrobates: a basic test to run, which fails shortly (before the qemu/kvm window pops up) for me and at least for someone on the community docs is this: 'kvm -net nic -net tap -hda foobar.img -boot c'03:26
antdedyetreplace whatever's proper after the tap ...03:26
antdedyetI have tunctl also that I found with uml-utilities, but kvm won't use the device I've setup with it, using 'sudo tunctl -b -u myuser'03:28
antdedyetI tracked it down to being that the tuntap kernel driver had NET_CAP_ADMIN capability required since sometime around 2.6.1703:29
antdedyet'setfcaps' is to add the capability for any user to on the system to use tun/tap devices to some degree.03:30
antdedyetBut I never found setfcaps and that's where my testing stopped about 5 minutes ago.03:31
dendrobatesI use tap for vpn's without needing setfcaps.03:35
dendrobatesit is probably something else.03:35
antdedyetdendrobates: There is also the ownership and mode of /dev/net/tun  ... In the beginning, I changed it's mode from 0660 to 0666.03:39
dendrobatesantdedyet: are you using gutsy?03:41
antdedyetdendrobates: hardy daily ... :)03:41
antdedyetdendrobates: and of course, on the only machine my processor has the kvm extensions03:42
nealmcbantdedyet: I'm very glad to hear your thoughts and experiences - exactly what errors are you getting?  I've run into tap/kvm problems also but attributed them to never actually bringing my network down and making my regular eth0 into a bridged device or something like that, so the tap could work with it03:44
nealmcbmy testing is on gutsy03:45
nealmcbe.g. "can't add tap0 to bridge eth2: Operation not supported" - which i think was because at the time my main network device (eth2) was not bridgeable03:47
nealmcbusing directions like this:  http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/~djw/qemu.html03:49
dendrobatessoren just updated kvm, there may be a regression.03:50
antdedyetnealmcb: I have a multiple scenarios that I have been through. Testing one at a time, with the outcome of none of them working, I started by setting up a bridging interface slaved to either of my outgoing ethernet connections, one is cabled, the other wifi (which I use most of the time and really wanted to use - FUD aside). Also an evdo ppp interface at times.03:53
antdedyetnealmcb: basic error was this:03:53
antdedyetwarning: could not open /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation03:54
antdedyetCould not initialize device 'tap'03:54
antdedyetnealmcb: I followed those directions too, but started with this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/kvm then moved on to for networking input: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM03:56
antdedyetdendrobates: running an update now03:56
dendrobatesit was a couple days ago, so you are probably using the newest one, but it has not been tested yet.03:57
antdedyetdendrobates: ah yes, I got that one I believe: 5503:57
antdedyetsoren asked me to let him in on what I came across since I have amd hardware03:58
antdedyetalthough, I don't think this is cpu specific.03:59
dendrobateshe uploaded 56, maybe it has hit the repo's yet.03:59
antdedyetdendrobates: ahh, ok. I use mirrors.kernel.org ... let me change my repo.04:00
nealmcbantdedyet: have you tried gutsy?04:05
antdedyetnealmcb: I don't have a gutsy box with kvm cpu extensions. I could test qemu with a bit of setup, but I haven't done that yet.04:07
nealmcbright - I forgot that04:07
nealmcbbut qemu would be an interesting test04:07
antdedyetI don't see 56 on mirrors.anl.gov either.04:07
* antdedyet nods04:07
antdedyethmm: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/misc/kvm-source04:08
antdedyetIs there somewhere I'm not looking at to find the 56 package?04:16
* antdedyet doesn't see it in deb sid either ... 04:16
* antdedyet shrugs04:31
* antdedyet stretches ... I can't wait to install Ubuntu on more client machines. :)05:19

owhnealmcb: Thanks for pointing me at the ubuntu-jeos-builder script. I'm not yet down to 90 seconds, but I'm at 180, which is a whole lot better than 15 minutes for a copy/paste/fixup or 45 minutes for a bare .ISO install. Now all I need to do is combine the options from the various versions so I can specify the hostname, directory, ip address and not have an opt drive, but so far, so good.08:10
sorenantdedyet: I apparantly never got round to uploading kvm 56.. I'll do that today.08:19
antdedyetsoren: nice!08:23
_rubenany vmware gurus around? .. my ubuntu guest is spamming my sles host with "host clock rate change request" messages .. i've added "clock=pit" to the ubuntu guest's grub but it doesnt seem to make a diff08:23
antdedyethowever, I didn't see anything in the upstream changelog that would lessen the bootstrap aches.08:24
sorenantdedyet: This was about tap devices, was it?08:24
* antdedyet will be happy to test it nevertheless08:24
antdedyetsoren: Yes, it was about tap devices.08:24
sorenantdedyet: Uploading kvm 56.09:12
antdedyetsoren: Spectacular.09:14
antdedyetI've _really_ got to get more clients on Ubuntu so I can develop more with it. It may get difficult to justify why testing out new servers settings takes awhile if they find out I'm running them all inside a Ubuntu virtual machine. :)09:16

sergevnIs it possible to configure your ubuntu server to use the smtp server of your ISP to send mail?10:02
sergevnIf so, is there any good tutorial for this? Searched the web, but cant find a clear and simple tutorial.10:03

avatar_one of the options is, smtp with smarthost, where smarthost is the smtp-server of your  provider10:05

ivokssorry for the meeting :/17:30
* ScottK is curious if anyone has comments on the message I just sent to the Ubuntu Server ML.18:33
sommerScottK: I'm for it... instructions have been added to the Mail Filtering seciton :-)18:45
ScottKsommer: Great.  To answer your clamav question, I haven't had much time for it recently.18:46
ScottKsommer: Now for the fun part is we are about to get libclamav3 in the version that was just released yesterday so we need to worry that library transition first.18:46
sommercool, I was looking at packaging again and remembered the backport project18:47
ScottKOK.  We still need to do it, but we need to fix Hardy first.18:47
sommersure18:47
sommerI also realized that I didn't understand exactly what a "backport" is18:48
sommerI actually backported the new api to the existing source instead of backporting the new package... doh18:48
sommerit was fun though... so I can't complain too much18:48
ScottKsommer: If you can figure the other way around to backport a clamav with the old API, that would solve the whole Dapper problem right away.18:49
sommerScottK: heh... I really don't know that much C :/18:49
ScottKWe can just patch the current clamav to use the old API, upload that to dapper-backports and declare victory.18:49
ScottKWell if you figured it out one way, you ought to be able to do the reverse, right???18:50
sommermmmMMMM... that really doesn't sound too hard18:50
sommerthere's documentation for the other way though :)18:51
sommerI'll do some digging and see where it takes me18:51
ScottKsommer: Cool.  That's solve a huge problem in Dapper.18:54
sommerScottK: another question regarding python-policyd-spf.  The order of execution is postfix filters a message through dkim-milter and python-spf then sends it to Amavisd?18:57
sommeror amavisd scans it first then postfix pipes it through any other "outside" filters?18:58
ScottKsommer: It's a function of how you set up your system.18:58
sommerokay, I docuemnted it the first way18:58
sommertrying to explain how all the peices fit together18:58
ScottKGenerally avamisd-new will run after queue.18:59
ScottKRunning before queue filters can be tricky.18:59
sommerthat's what I was thinking after reading the postfix book and amavisd docs18:59
ScottKPolicy servers will run before queue as will milters (although milters are more complex).18:59
sommercool that's the one part of documenting the postfix+amavisd+spamassassin+clamav+spf+dkim I wasn't quite sure of19:00
sommerthanks... if there are any issues with the mail filtering section you find just let me know19:01
ScottKsommer: Sure.  I guarantee you will have to keep harassing me to look at it.19:11
leonelScottK:  for dapper clamav  as you say to backport the clamav api ..19:31
leonelScottK:  can this be to replace  clamav's   libclamav   with    ubuntu  backported api libclamav ??19:32
ScottKI'd put it a little differently.19:32
ScottKI'd take the current libclamav and patch it to use the old API and backport that.19:33
leonelthis way there won't be   dependency problems ?19:33
ScottKExactly.19:37
leonelcurrent  you mean   dapper's .88  or  new  .92 ?19:40
Centaur5I'm stumped here, my thin clients that have been working for a month just stopped letting me login since Sunday.  The only thing that changed is that I finished setting up a chillispot/freeradius server.19:47
Centaur5I've already tried running the ltsp-update-sshkeys and I do see the client connecting in syslog and I don't see any error messages when login is attempted.19:47
ScottKleonel: It'd be to make the current (still 0.91.2) libclamav look like the 0.8x one to the rest of the packages in the system.19:56
leonelScottK:  Ok i got it ...20:18
ScottKleonel: Just checking to see did you get /msg I just sent you?20:23
leonelyes20:24
ScottKleonel: 0.92~dfsg-0build1 uploaded.  Now we wait for the archive admins.21:38
leonelScottK: great !21:39
leonelScottK: the next is do a merge to hardy then backport to gutsy   right ?21:40
ScottKActually it looks like a sync.  I think Debian has all our needed changes now.21:40
ScottKBecause of the soname change we've got the same problems backporting to Gutsy and Feisty that we've already had with Dapper/Edgy.21:41
* leonel goes to read the diff in merge and sync ...21:41
