| StrangeCharm | manually trying to set up an encrypted lvm, grub is giving me an error at boot. what am i likely to be doing wrong? | 01:34 |
| twb | StrangeCharm: LTS or 9.04? | 01:49 |
| StrangeCharm | twb, 9.10 | 01:49 |
| StrangeCharm | RC | 01:49 |
| twb | Oops, yeah | 01:49 |
| twb | Wait, 9.10 is still in RC? It's nearly 2009-11! | 01:50 |
| StrangeCharm | i think the release is in 4 days | 01:51 |
| ScottK | On Thursday | 01:53 |
| StrangeCharm | either way, twb did you have some tips? | 01:53 |
| twb | StrangeCharm: sorry, I was just triaging | 01:54 |
| StrangeCharm | lts>9.04>9.10RC ? | 01:54 |
| ScottK | Nope. Sorry. | 01:55 |
| twb | LTS is currently 8.04. | 01:55 |
| ScottK | StrangeCharm: The most recent LTS is 8.04. It was followed by 8.10, 9.04, and on Thursday, 9.10. | 01:55 |
| ScottK | The next LTS will be 10.04. | 01:55 |
| twb | non-LTS releases are for people with more faith or more time :-) | 01:56 |
| StrangeCharm | i am aware. i was facetiously remarking on triage priorities | 01:56 |
| StrangeCharm | or more need for immediat efeatures | 01:56 |
| StrangeCharm | does / have to have the boot flag? | 01:58 |
| ScottK | twb: I disagree. I don't think non-LTS releases are any less stable and the improvements more than offset the amount of time it takes to upgrade, but YMMV. | 01:59 |
| twb | ScottK: well, for example, I do not want to have to deal with LDAP's config moving into the database | 01:59 |
| ScottK | Right, I can understand that one. | 01:59 |
| twb | That is, not until some other bugger has ironed out the big problems | 01:59 |
| ScottK | Yeah. | 02:00 |
| ScottK | That's a particular special case for staying with LTS. | 02:00 |
| twb | StrangeCharm: the boot flag isn't necessary for GRUB, as long as GRUB is installed into the MBR (which is very, very likely). | 02:00 |
| twb | ScottK: also, I'm talking about mission-critical servers. Obviously for a workstation or a SOHO fileserver, non-LTS releases would be "stable enough" | 02:01 |
| StrangeCharm | twb, what would determine whether it was? | 02:02 |
| twb | StrangeCharm: if grub was installed by grub-install or by debian-installer, then it's in the MBR | 02:02 |
| ScottK | twb: For my use cases they have been pretty equally stable. I have two production servers on Hardy and a test server on Karmic and they all just work. | 02:03 |
| StrangeCharm | twb, so that's the default behaviour of the install disks? | 02:03 |
| twb | StrangeCharm: yes. It is extremely unusual to install Grub into a partition's boot record. | 02:04 |
| twb | I only mentioned it for the sake of accuracy (pedantry) | 02:04 |
| twb | ScottK: granted. | 02:05 |
| StrangeCharm | so the boot flag have to be one /boot at all? will the boot flag be problematic? | 02:06 |
| StrangeCharm | under what circumstances would grub say that it couldn't find the disk in question? | 02:08 |
| twb | StrangeCharm: boot a live CD, and pastebin the output of "parted -s /dev/sda print" and "lvs". | 02:14 |
| twb | It'll need to be a live CD with LVM support, so try CentOS instead of Ubuntu Desktop if you have it. | 02:14 |
| twb | Or just write the equivalent data by hand and pastebin that. What I really want to know is the partition layout and the LV layout | 02:15 |
| twb | Grub ignores boot flags entirely AFAIK, so as long as it's the first thing the BIOS bootstraps (i.e. it is in the MBR, not a partition boot sector), boot flags on partitions are totally irrelevant. | 02:16 |
| StrangeCharm | can i just describe the partition layout in words? | 02:18 |
| StrangeCharm | twb http://pastebin.com/d301080a3 | 02:25 |
| skuld | I have a second hard drive in my system. When I had fedora I did something that "joined" my two hard drives together so linux saw them both as one drive. How do I do that again? | 02:37 |
| twb | skuld: if you do this the naïve way, a failure on either drive will destroy your filesystem. | 02:40 |
| skuld | oh, well, I'm backing up my critical stuff | 02:41 |
| twb | skuld: it would be better to either make it a separate partition or logical volume, and make a new filesystem on that partition/LV and mount it somewhere. | 02:41 |
| qman__ | skuld, it's called RAID, and the configuration to use depends on what you're looking for | 02:41 |
| skuld | the problem is, I need the extra space on the second hard drive for my /var/www | 02:42 |
| twb | Yes, ideally if you are concerned about individual drive failures, you should get two or three (or more) equal-sized drives and RAID them. However, this is unlikely to be useful if you're e.g. adding a 200GB drive to a system which currently has a single 80GB drive. | 02:42 |
| twb | skuld: are you using LVM currently? | 02:42 |
| skuld | I think so. is there a way to check? | 02:42 |
| qman__ | if you don't know, you probably aren't | 02:43 |
| qman__ | but a 'sudo fdisk -l' should tell you | 02:43 |
| twb | skuld: does /proc/mounts refer to /dev/mapper/foo-bar or /dev/foo/bar, or does it refer only to /dev/sdXN ? | 02:43 |
| skuld | I saw the option when I installed Ubunto, but I don't remember if I chose it or not | 02:43 |
| twb | StrangeCharm: OK, your partition layout looks OK. | 02:43 |
| twb | StrangeCharm: what is the exact error that grub emits? | 02:44 |
| skuld | http://pastebin.com/f1385fd5e | 02:44 |
| qman__ | skuld, you're definitely using lvm | 02:44 |
| twb | StrangeCharm: I'm guessing it can't find /boot because the bit in the MBR is broken. But it might be that the code in /boot can't find root. | 02:44 |
| skuld | ok | 02:45 |
| qman__ | I don't remember the lvm commands to list volume groups and expand them and whatnot | 02:45 |
| twb | skuld: what you want to do is create a PV on the new disk (which appears to already have been done), then add that PV to your existing VG, then create an LV on that PV, then make a filesystem on the new LV, then mount that LV on /var/www. | 02:45 |
| twb | qman__: "lvs" | 02:45 |
| twb | qman__: oops, VGs is "vgs" | 02:46 |
| qman__ | ah | 02:46 |
| qman__ | for the sake of simplicity I generally don't use LVM, but it certainly is useful and allows for some really neat tricks | 02:47 |
| twb | LVM is great if you expect to change your mind later | 02:47 |
| skuld | wow...that sounds complicated LOL | 02:47 |
| twb | This happens a lot in my case, because most of my customers continue to use the same server for years, upgrading it piecemeal over time. | 02:48 |
| skuld | I know how they feel. If I had the money.... LOL | 02:49 |
| skuld | and I know I'm going to want to add a couple of TB drives when I can afford it | 02:50 |
| twb | Well, for example you might have deployed with 20GB disks seven years ago, and upgrade to 1TB disks right now. LVM allows that to happen with less downtime. | 02:50 |
| twb | If they had lots of money, they'd be more likely to replace the entire box every three years :-) | 02:52 |
| StrangeCharm | twb, i think the error is that it can't find the disk 'disk not found', or words to that effect | 02:53 |
| skuld | I know I'd love to do that. I'm still running on a PIII | 02:54 |

| billybigrigger | hey all, for some reason apache's access.log has stopped being written to since oct 16...i restarted apache, created some traffice and still nothing is being written to my access.log, i've checked my site settings in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/xxxxxx and they are all set to log to my access.log | 03:24 |
| billybigrigger | running 9.04 server in a vm if that helps | 03:24 |
| billybigrigger | i haven't done any messing around with settings for this server for months...but i guess that doesn't rule out an update and i overwrote a config file somewhere right? | 03:25 |
| twb | Have you turned on unattended upgrades? | 03:30 |
| twb | (I really hope they're still off by default.) | 03:30 |
| skuld | okay, so I think I have the second hard drive ready to be added to the Volume Group...I think. | 03:54 |
| skuld | well, maybe not. I don't see sdb1 anymore | 03:55 |
| twb | skuld: this disk *is* connected internally, right? | 03:55 |
| twb | LVM's probably not appropriate for an external HDD that you're gonna be plugging and unplugging. | 03:55 |
| skuld | yes, it shows up fdisk -l, just no info... | 03:55 |
| twb | No info where? | 03:55 |

| skuld | no, this is an internal HDD | 03:56 |

| twb | I have accidentally create a LVM snapshot and filled it to 100%. | 05:23 |
| twb | Now "lvs" and "lvremove /dev/foo/bar-20090909" both tell me it can't read a block of 4096 at points 0 and $bignum for /dev/foo/bar-20090909" | 05:24 |
| twb | This means I can't remove the old snapshot, which makes me worry that something more than it just being 100% full has happened. | 05:24 |

| soren | twb: Something does seem to handle that. | 07:45 |
| soren | Let me just check real quick. | 07:45 |
| twb | soren: ah, but are you sure it's not just a coincidence that your test picks the right LV first? | 07:48 |
| twb | i.e. a negative result alone isn't conclusive that the problem is fixed | 07:48 |
| soren | twb: I'm not testing. | 07:48 |

| soren | twb: I'm looking at code. | 07:48 |

| twb | Forgive me, I deal with a lot of stupid people, so I tend to assume the worst | 07:49 |
| soren | Yeah. I know the feeling :) | 07:49 |
| soren | twb: Can you give me the output of "blkid -o udev -p /dev/mapper/<the snapshot>" as well as "blkid -o udev -p /dev/mapper/<the "real" lv>"? | 07:50 |

| soren | Oh. | 07:52 |
| soren | Let me check one of those, then.. | 07:52 |

| twb | That I did not expect | 08:01 |
| alvin | Why is /etc/fstab no longer by-uuid, but by-label by default? Can it give problems? (root device is sometimes no longer found on an ubuntu-server here) | 08:01 |
| twb | alvin: hey, man, hold up! I'm only just working out why by-uuid is evil and dodgy! | 08:02 |
| twb | :-) | 08:02 |
| alvin | twb: lol, I joined at the right moment | 08:02 |
| alvin | So, why is it evil? | 08:03 |
| soren | It's really not. | 08:03 |
| alvin | Something must be different. On the same server, Jaunty always boots and karmic does not. (Sometimes the root drive is not found, sometimes it's the network) | 08:04 |
| alvin | I'm currently suspecting the 'by-label', but there's no proof yet. | 08:04 |

| alvin | (I'm totally wrong. The default is not by label, but just the path /dev/mapper/vg0-home for example) | 08:07 |
| twb | Does karmic include the insserv migration? | 08:07 |
| alvin | twb: just a moment. Testing this... | 08:08 |
| twb | alvin: do you get as far as busybox? If you do break=bottom and inspect stuff, is it any different? RTFS by diffing /usr/share/initramfs on the two hosts? | 08:08 |
| soren | twb: The problem is not uuid based mounting. The problem is that apparantly the thing that's supposed to make sure the snapshot-origin takes precedence over the snapshot when making that symlink is failing. | 08:08 |
| soren | twb: uuid based mounting is a good thing. Really. The alternatives are much worse. | 08:08 |
| twb | soren: yeah, I know | 08:08 |
| twb | soren: I'm just being grumpy | 08:08 |
| alvin | twb: You're right. It's the same UUID! | 08:09 |
| twb | Having said that, I spent some time recently waiting for bootdegraded=true type failures due to the huge long default timeout | 08:09 |
| soren | alvin: Of course it's the same UUID. Otherwise it wouldn't be a snapshot. | 08:09 |
| alvin | soren: But then I can't mount the snapshot by UUID? | 08:10 |
| twb | alvin: right | 08:10 |
| soren | alvin: Right. | 08:10 |

| twb | If there are two people in your office called "Zippy", you can't refer to them both just as "Zippy" without causing confusion. | 08:10 |

| Bilge | Where does aptitude get its package descriptions from? | 12:18 |
| heath|work | apt-cache more than likely | 12:22 |
| pmatulis | Bilge: when you perform an update the files that are updated are placed under /var/lib/apt/lists. the apt tools use these files to determine what packages need to be upgraded. they also contain package descriptions | 12:27 |
| pmatulis | Bilge: do an update and then enter that directory and do 'ls -ltr' | 12:27 |
| Bilge | I see | 12:29 |

| Bilge | But I doubt it given that these files could be called anything and are generally all over the place | 12:30 |

| alvin | elyezer: no, just $ sudo apt-get install dovecot-postfix | 15:19 |
| ttx | smoser: I think its normal to not have any ephemeral if your image is taking up all the space | 15:19 |
| ttx | i.e. running a 2G image over a 2G allowance -> no space | 15:19 |

| soren | alvin: For what? | 15:38 |
| soren | alvin: Eucalyptus? | 15:38 |
| alvin | No, "sudo mountall --debug" | 15:38 |
| alvin | the mountall script runs, (without success), and hangs somewhere. I'm supposed to send it SIGUSR1, but nothing changes. | 15:38 |
| ttx | smoser: could we fix it from inside, like detecting both formats ? | 15:39 |
| alvin | I can create a log until SIGINT | 15:39 |
| soren | alvin: It's supposed to let mountall know that all your network interfaces are up. | 15:40 |
| smoser | ttx, arguably no | 15:40 |
| ttx | smoser: I see what you mean | 15:40 |
| alvin | soren: ow, they are. I'm running the script within ssh | 15:40 |
| soren | alvin: I'm not saying they aren't. | 15:40 |
| smoser | in the bug there, there would be no way that that data was not intended. | 15:41 |
| soren | alvin: I'm just answering your question. | 15:41 |
| alvin | soren: thx, in that case, I will give the output of the command with Ctrl+C at the end. | 15:41 |
| smoser | ttx, you could, say, though "if i'm in eucalyptus, then the data is not correctly decoded, so i decode it now". | 15:41 |
| smoser | the problem with that is a.) in theory we can't tell if we're in euca versus we're in ec2 (but we can, so that coudl be worked around) b.) that logic fails to work anymore if you fix euca | 15:42 |
| ttx | mdz: ping | 15:42 |
| soren | smoser: Is this massively different from the ephemeral storage thing? | 15:43 |
| soren | smoser: In that case, you wanted to go around and detect stuff and just deal with it, so that either UEC or EC2 could change whatever they wanted and stuff would still work (I'm still curious of the details of that | 15:44 |
| smoser | i think i can fix the storage without knowing "am i in euca or ec2" | 15:44 |
| === Falc\ is now known as Falc | ||
| soren | )... In this case, why not just try to base64 decode it, and if that succeeds, go ahead and do with what your normally would have. | 15:44 |
| smoser | i know you will say "good enough", but its not | 15:44 |
| ttx | soren: that would screw up someone sending base64 encoded userdate, I guess | 15:45 |
| ttx | userdata | 15:45 |
| soren | ttx: Not really. | 15:45 |
| smoser | because of the case, that in a fixed eucalyptus, the user provides you with base64 encoded data | 15:45 |
| soren | ttx: If they're using it for something, they can still query it, and get the right stuff. | 15:45 |
| soren | It's not like we're chaning anything in the meta-data service. | 15:45 |
| smoser | which is then re-encoded, and decoded (correctly), resulting in encoded data that would correctly decode, but shouldn't | 15:45 |
| ttx | smoser: yes, that was my point. | 15:46 |
| soren | Right. This is just like you wanting to mount stuff that the user may not want mounted. | 15:46 |
| stas | zoopster: thx, but that didn't help | 15:46 |
| smoser | right. ttx. thats the case (possibly unlikely) that is impossible to detect | 15:46 |
| zoopster | stas: where are you stuck? | 15:46 |
| ttx | smoser: I think we need to parallelize efforts | 15:47 |
| smoser | soren, yes, its obviously similar. i think there is enough data to correctly do mount. | 15:47 |
| stas | zoopster: I got a pc and the gw, both can ping each other, but pc gets no nated | 15:47 |
| smoser | ttx, the user data needs to be fixed in eucalyptus | 15:47 |
| smoser | it affects *all* instances that run inside | 15:47 |
| soren | Well.. | 15:47 |
| smoser | empheral storage argubably only affects ours | 15:47 |
| smoser | ok, well, thats not true... | 15:48 |
| soren | all instances that expect user-data passed from a file. | 15:48 |
| smoser | or from the command line | 15:48 |
| smoser | either way | 15:48 |
| SyL | anybody getting this error when starting an instace? | 15:48 |
| smoser | if they expect user data you're hosed | 15:48 |
| soren | Virtually /every/ image will expect the ephemeral storage. | 15:48 |
| SyL | err... nevermind | 15:48 |
| ttx | smoser: no doubt it should be fixed inside eucalyptus | 15:49 |
| smoser | soren, by default, you're hosed on that. in euca even "fixed" | 15:49 |
| soren | smoser: That does not compute. | 15:49 |
| smoser | because default setting is 2G "storage" for an instance. and our images are 2G. thus you get 2G /,and will have no filesystem mounted at /mnt | 15:49 |
| smoser | if you do anything larger than 2G - ~600M populated root, operations to fill up /mnt you're done. | 15:50 |
| smoser | but that fixable with config | 15:50 |
| ttx | smoser: I think eucalyptus needs to work on a fix and we need to have an image-based workaround | 15:50 |
| soren | smoser: I'm having trouble following you. I need more punctuation :) | 15:50 |
| ttx | smoser: so that we can make the best choice | 15:50 |
| zoopster | stas: if you do the steps outlined in the ufw Masquerading of the serverguide you will have a fully working nat - https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html | 15:51 |
| soren | smoser: The code to handle the automatic mounting thing... does that exist yet, or has it yet to be written? | 15:52 |
| smoser | soren, if you fire up a UEC instance of m1.small with no configuration changes to your server, you will have 2 partitions '/' (/dev/sda1) and swap (/dev/sda3). /dev/sda1 is 2G, and is /. we have ~ 600M on /. | 15:52 |
| soren | Right, ok. | 15:53 |
| smoser | if you change your configuration to make that 4G, then you'll end up with /dev/sda1 of / of 2G, the swap, and 2G /dev/sda2 | 15:53 |
| smoser | soren, yet to be written. | 15:53 |
| soren | Ok. | 15:53 |
| smoser | but i think fairly easy | 15:53 |
| stas | zoopster: yes, thats the first page i got googleing, I followed the steps but still nothing | 15:53 |
| soren | smoser: I would very much like to see it. | 15:53 |
| elyezer | when using postfix and dovecot for each user@domain.com I need to create a new user?? | 15:53 |
| soren | And /dev/sda2 is the expected for i386 images, right? | 15:53 |
| SyL | anybody getting this error when starting instances in eucalyptus. [RemoteBootstrapperClient:SystemClockTimer] ERROR java.nio.channels.UnresolvedAddressException | 15:53 |
| soren | elyezer: Depends. | 15:54 |
| ttx | smoser: so by parallelizing I mean we need to forward the issue upstream and we need to have a workaround ready, then make the best choice if/when both are available | 15:54 |
| smoser | if /etc/fstab contains /dev/sdb && not exists /dev/sdb && exists /dev/sda2 && /dev/sda2 is ext2 filesystem, then modify /etc/fstab, replacing sdb with sda2 | 15:54 |
| smoser | only do the above on first boot. | 15:54 |
| elyezer | soren: on what? | 15:54 |
| smoser | ttx, i realized what you're saying. | 15:54 |
| soren | elyezer: Well, first of all, is user@domain.com an alias? | 15:54 |
| ttx | kirkland: could you take care of the "forward the issue to eucalyptus and pressure them for a minimal fix" part ? | 15:54 |
| elyezer | soren: no | 15:54 |
| soren | elyezer: Or should it have its own, separate mailbox? | 15:55 |
| zoopster | stas: then you likely missed something...you'll need to do some troubleshooting to find where the issue is and then pose a more specific question | 15:55 |
| ttx | smoser: it might be too late to change eucalyptus now, so we might switch in damage-control mode | 15:55 |
| smoser | soren, does that logic above seem safe? (it does have to be modified to be arch specific on ec2) | 15:55 |

| smoser | so i'd be willing to even put a comment in the /etc/fstab that we use that says "this is going to possibly be modified" | 16:01 |
| soren | smoser: I think it's perfectly reasonable. I just wanted to know if this was going to be "that sort of argument" again. | 16:01 |
| smoser | and if that comment is not present, then not do it. | 16:01 |
| smoser | soren, i am seriously interested in making it not break. | 16:01 |
| smoser | in any case. | 16:01 |
| soren | Then fix eucalyptus instead. | 16:01 |
| smoser | i dont like software that works if you hold your mouth right. | 16:01 |
| smoser | so, you're correct with your euca suggestion. | 16:02 |
| soren | Maybe someone doesn't want the extra space mounted, and has been using amd64 images on Eucalyptus and has been quite happy that this extra space did not get mounted. | 16:03 |
| soren | I don't know. In "that sort of argument" I didn't think it was necessary to have examples. | 16:04 |

| ttx | mdz: basically prevents userdata from workin in Eucalyptus in general | 16:07 |
| mdz | ttx, ... | 16:07 |
| ttx | mdz: do you think we can still fix it inside eucalyptus | 16:08 |
| ttx | mdz: or should we prefer a broken workaround in ec2-init | 16:08 |
| ttx | mdz: I was planning to parallelize both efforts | 16:08 |
| ttx | mdz: and see how disruptive each is | 16:08 |
| mdz | ttx, has it regressed or has it never worked? | 16:09 |

| TeLLuS | stas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICMP_Time_Exceeded | 16:11 |
| smoser | ttx, it is not. | 16:11 |
| smoser | the alestic images do it. | 16:11 |
| stas | TeLLuS: yeah, i got it, but why im getting ttl exceed? | 16:12 |
| smoser | and it is not just "a script". it is all possible user data. customizing an instance via user data is *major* functionality in ec2 | 16:12 |
| TeLLuS | stas: Maybe a loop or routing error that cause the packet ttl to count down to 0 | 16:13 |
| ttx | mdz: so should we pursue both tracks in parallel or is one of them not a possibility anyway ? | 16:13 |
| TeLLuS | stas: try traceroute | 16:13 |

| fbc-mx | I need to install an UBUNTU server inbetween by router and may lan to limit connects to certain IPs and to give internet to only certain machines, etc. What software could I load for this purpose? I already have an ebox setup running on a server and could stick another nic into it to serve this purpose as well. | 16:23 |
| TeLLuS | stas: or after, but someone running runing the firewall could probably provide more information, I just added a similar thing to a firewall to stop 80.82.120.X from trying all passwords, I just added a routing loop for it | 16:24 |
| heath|work | if I edit visudo do I need to restart for changes to take? | 16:24 |
| fbc-mx | I've heard of some floppy based distros doing this kind of stuff, but I would like something highly recommended by the ubuntu community. | 16:24 |
| KurtKraut | fbc-mx, you should try Squid and ufw (uncomplicated firewall) | 16:25 |
| fbc-mx | KurtKraut, great, let em see if I could find some howto's.. thanks | 16:26 |
| KurtKraut | fbc-mx, if you're doing this as a job, I suggest you to buy books about Squid and books about iptables (firewall) | 16:26 |
| fbc-mx | KurtKraut, It's my dad's shop and we are just a small company of 15 or so. I just need something that I can keep certain machines off of internet and others with limited Instant messaging access. | 16:28 |
| heath|work | oh cool sudo !! | 16:28 |
| fbc-mx | KurtKraut, you block msn-messenger ip ranges, and crap like that for certain macs. | 16:29 |
| simplexio | fbc-mx: iptables (firewall ,NAT ) is in linux kernel, Squid can do all kind stuff to net traffic (like proxy, deny some traffic based it content etc, i dont really know it). all other programs what you are speaking are pretty much user interfaces for iptables | 16:29 |
| KurtKraut | fbc-mx, Squid and iptables (or an easier variant, ufw) will do the job. But as I said before, there are books that teach this stuff better than the howtos online. | 16:30 |
| simplexio | fbc-mx: then all you need is smallest ubuntu installation and few iptables rules | 16:30 |
| magnetic__ | fbc-mx: if you already have eBox you can also use the firewall and proxy modules | 16:31 |
| simplexio | and maybe add NAT configuration there with dhcp server to give clients ip addre based on nic MAC and build rules from there, possibilities are not endless but allmoust | 16:31 |
| fbc-mx | simplexio, KurtKraut, great... thanks.. I just found some great HOwto's specific to ubuntu on UFW. KurtKraut, yes, I would like to download the ebooks on squid and ufw from that book publisher with the animals on the cover ( I can't remember their name) | 16:32 |
| fbc-mx | magnetic__, yeah except that their documentation stinks, and can't find any information about what to do after I load the modules. | 16:32 |
| simplexio | umm.. how about loading those modules and then checking is there some way to confgiure them | 16:35 |
| simplexio | offcourse, dont do that on office hours. and first make somekind fallback plan if you dont get it to work, like backup systems and restore plan first | 16:36 |

| mdz | kirkland, ttx, so does that mean we can close the ec2-init task? | 16:44 |
| ttx | mdz: yes, fixing it is not desirable if we fix it postrelease | 16:44 |
| ttx | mdz: since the ec2-init fix introduces a bug for specific cases | 16:45 |
| mdz | ttx, we only need to fix it in ec2-init OR eucalyptus, right? | 16:45 |
| ttx | yes | 16:45 |
| mdz | in which case I say we should fix it in eucalyptus | 16:45 |
| kirkland | mdz: i agree -> eucalyptus is where the fix belongs | 16:45 |

| heath|work | JanC: so I can keep quotas accurate with uploaded files | 17:10 |

| heath|work | I was trying to use php's own chown() function, but I may have to end up using exec() in which I could do that | 17:12 |
| JanC | if your webserver needs to run a script that can run that as root, then configure sudo specifically to allow running that exact command and nothing else | 17:13 |
| JanC | I mean, allow www-data to only run that command as root | 17:17 |
| heath|work | that's what I have www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/chown | 17:18 |
| JanC | I'd suggest you also limit the parameters ;) | 17:19 |

| axisys | how do I make the change so it survive the reboot ? | 18:41 |
| garymc | If i have 2 web servers on the same outside IP I can only assign one of them to port 80, how do i get to the other from the outside too? | 18:48 |
| Reepicheep | axisys: you may want to ad it to the rc.local file | 18:48 |
| Reepicheep | garymc: connect to the port the other is listening on.. "http://server.domain.name:81" where 81 is the port number | 18:50 |
| axisys | Reepicheep: i was wondering if i can add it to /etc/network/interface file | 18:51 |
| Reepicheep | I'm not aware of a way to set it in the interface file. But that doesn't mean that there isn't one | 18:52 |
| Reepicheep | I know you can set stuff like MTU in the interface file. I just have never see speed & duplexing set there | 18:53 |
| Reepicheep | I don't see anything in the interfaces man file either | 18:54 |
| genii | You can use some post-up directive in the interfaces file to run whatever command you want, ethtool, whatever | 18:54 |
| axisys | genii: sweet! | 18:55 |
| axisys | genii: thanks | 18:55 |
| genii | np | 18:55 |
| axisys | genii: i was looking for the post-up dir .. should I just create it under /etc/network ? | 18:57 |
| garymc | Reepicheep: so i assign port 81 to the other server? | 18:57 |
| genii | axisys: directive, not directory. So in /etc/network/interfaces some stanza under eth0 for instance like: post-up /somewhere/somecommand -options -to -that -command | 18:58 |
| axisys | genii: sorry | 18:58 |
| axisys | /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz is pretty helpful | 18:59 |
| Reepicheep | garymc: you can assign it what ever port you choose. you probably just don't want to put it on a standard port used by other services | 19:00 |
| Reepicheep | and possibly above 1024 depending on what user starts the web server | 19:00 |
| Reepicheep | I just pulled port 81 out of the air | 19:01 |
| axisys | genii: do I need to mention the device w/ ethtool when doing post-up for the stanza of that interface? | 19:03 |
| axisys | genii: post-up /usr/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off .. like this ? | 19:03 |
| genii | axisys: Whatever command you normally run like earlier you put: ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off is what you put again | 19:03 |
| genii | (with full path however, like you had just above) | 19:04 |
| axisys | up /usr/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off .. seems to be right syntax.. i just found out there is no post-up.. up is what run the command .. there is only pre-up and post-down.. just an fyi | 19:05 |

| garymc | and I get nothing | 19:07 |
| Reepicheep | garymc: make sure you also configure the web server on the host to listen on port 81 instead of the default port 80 | 19:07 |
| garymc | ahhh ok | 19:08 |
| garymc | how do i do that? | 19:08 |
| Reepicheep | and make sure that you have it allowed through the host based firewall if you have a firewall running | 19:08 |
| Reepicheep | garymc: what web server are you using? | 19:09 |
| garymc | apache | 19:09 |
| Reepicheep | and what is the other web server on the same host? | 19:09 |
| garymc | ?? | 19:10 |
| Reepicheep | the one that is already listening on port 80? | 19:10 |
| garymc | no differnt machine | 19:10 |
| garymc | its a seperate machine | 19:10 |
| garymc | can i make it listen for both ports? | 19:10 |
| garymc | 80 and 81? | 19:10 |
| Reepicheep | you probably don't need to .. it just needs to be setup correctly in the router | 19:11 |
| garymc | Well iforwaded port 81 in the routers firewall to the server I want to access | 19:12 |
| garymc | but when i put ip addy:81 in browser it doesnt work | 19:12 |
| Reepicheep | just set the port nat to forward some high port to port 80 on the second server.. how to do that is probably quite a bit off topic for this channel | 19:12 |

| smoser | you follow that, ttx ? | 19:30 |
| smoser | is it 100% unacceptable to fix this in 9.10 release by changing euca2ools ? | 19:31 |
| smoser | i'll never say something is regression-potential free, but we've fairly clearly identified what is wrong here | 19:31 |
| ttx | smoser: mdz said that if its not a regression it should be fixed in an early post-release update | 19:32 |
| kirkland | smoser: you want me to teach you how to do an SRU? | 19:32 |
| smoser | i dont know if its a regression or not. | 19:32 |
| kirkland | smoser: we'll fix this in an update | 19:33 |
| smoser | actually, i know that it is not | 19:33 |
| kirkland | smoser: i'll show you how :-) | 19:33 |
| kirkland | smoser: this fix does not *have* to be on the released CD | 19:33 |
| smoser | euca2ools was not in jaunty, so it is not a regression. | 19:34 |
| ttx | smoser: and it never worked in a previous kermic release either | 19:34 |
| smoser | and ec2-api-tools in universe can be pointed at euca to work around. | 19:34 |
| smoser | so the, the right answer is "fix in SRU in euca2ools package" | 19:35 |
| smoser | ttx, are you around and able to test something for me ? on UEC ? | 19:35 |
| ttx | around, but not able to test on UEC | 19:36 |

| kirkland | smoser: okay, first, let's get your fixed euca2ools pushed to your ppa | 19:49 |

| kirkland | 1.0+bzr20091007-0ubuntu1.1 | 19:50 |
| kirkland | smoser: and since you're going to send it to your ppa, add a ~ppa1 iterator to the end of that | 19:50 |
| kirkland | 1.0+bzr20091007-0ubuntu1.1~ppa1 | 19:50 |
| smoser | kirkland, if its post release, not terribly worried about that right now. | 19:51 |
| smoser | i need to get the other stuff tested and in | 19:51 |
| kirkland | smoser: hmm, okay; we should prep that upload soon, though | 19:51 |
| smoser | y | 19:51 |
| smoser | yes | 19:51 |
| kirkland | smoser: it shouldn't take but 5 minutes to upload it to your ppa | 19:53 |
| kirkland | smoser: i'll pull from there, test it, and sponsor for you | 19:53 |
| smoser | ok. | 19:53 |
| mathiaz | smoser: is it normal that all UEC instances that I boot have the same hostname (172) ? | 19:56 |
| mathiaz | smoser: same instances of the same EMI | 19:56 |
| smoser | i see that here, mathiaz | 19:57 |
| smoser | i believe that the dhcp server is telling the instance that that is its hostname | 19:57 |
| mathiaz | smoser: I don't think so | 19:58 |
| smoser | where do you think its coming from? | 19:58 |
| mathiaz | smoser: on the CC /var/run/eucalyptus/net/euca-dhcp.conf | 19:58 |
| mathiaz | smoser: there isn't anything related to hostname | 19:58 |
| mathiaz | smoser: I'd guess ec2-init | 19:59 |
| mathiaz | smoser: in /usr/share/pyshared/ec2init/__init__.py | 20:00 |
| mathiaz | smoser: it comes from the metadata service | 20:00 |
| mathiaz | smoser: I guess that UEC metadata service gives out D.D.D.D as the local-hostname | 20:01 |
| mathiaz | smoser: whereas EC2 give a hostname like D-D-D-D.domain.name | 20:02 |
| smoser | yeah, i see that. | 20:02 |
| smoser | ec2: | 20:03 |
| smoser | $ wget http://169.254.169.254/1.0/meta-data/hostname -q -O -; echo | 20:03 |
| smoser | ip-10-242-63-240.ec2.internal | 20:03 |
| smoser | uec: | 20:03 |
| smoser | $ wget http://169.254.169.254/1.0/meta-data/hostname -q -O -; echo | 20:03 |
| smoser | (no output) | 20:03 |
| smoser | actually, the above should have been 'local-hostname' | 20:04 |
| smoser | but still no output on uec | 20:04 |
| smoser | def get_hostname(self): | 20:05 |
| smoser | hostname = self.get_instance_metadata()['local-hostname'] | 20:05 |
| smoser | hostname = hostname.split('.')[0] | 20:05 |
| smoser | return hostname | 20:05 |
| mathiaz | smoser: well - may be boto is doing something | 20:05 |
| mathiaz | smoser: because ec2-init should fail if the output was empty | 20:06 |
| smoser | you're right. | 20:06 |
| smoser | boto is returning the ip addr | 20:06 |
| smoser | and get_hostname taking the first piece | 20:06 |
| mathiaz | smoser: so I guess that's a bug in UEC metadata service | 20:08 |
| smoser | kirkland, you wanted my ec2-init to ppa ? | 20:12 |
| kirkland | where's the fix? I thought it was in euca2ools? | 20:12 |

| jafo1 | Hi all. I got a strange problem with ubuntu 8 lts and softraid. I got 3 raid1 partitions. If I set one disc as fail, at next reboot the rebuild process does'nt start automagically.. I need to start it by hand doing mdadm --manage --add... | 20:36 |
| jafo1 | any hint? | 20:36 |
| jafo1 | (I tweaked the initramfs-tools to let the system boot with degraded array as well) | 20:37 |
| jafo1 | I remember that it was a default to automagically rebuild degraded arrays on boot..I'm I wrong? | 20:38 |
| jafo1 | oopss.. I'm back.. | 20:41 |
| yann2 | sorry for the bump: I am currently using ubuntu hardy with Puppet on quite a few servers, although it is from universe. I am thinking of moving to chef in a close future. What are Ubuntu plans regarding automated deployments and configuration, is one tool going to make it into main for 10.4? | 20:44 |
| jafo1 | I got a problem with mdadm softraid, I cant' get the md arrays automagically start rebuilding at boot time. I got a problem with 3 raid1 array on a hp sata server.. the rebuild starts only by hand with mdadm --manage --add..... | 20:45 |
| jafo1 | can I fix this? | 20:45 |

| yann2 | mathiaz, just out of pure interest, why did you chose puppet over the other solutions? I am still undecided :) | 20:50 |
| mathiaz | yann2: puppet has been around for much longer than chef | 20:50 |
| mathiaz | yann2: the maintainance in debian is good (google is behind) | 20:50 |
| yann2 | ok that makes sense | 20:50 |
| mathiaz | yann2: ubuntu users are more using puppet than chef | 20:51 |
