zzz2009I am setting up a server, the system has 4 500Gb drives, I am thinking of setting them up as a raid 0 which should give me about 2Tb of disk.00:39
zzz2009I was thinking of partioning: 100mB ext2 - /boot, 100Gb ext4 - /root, 100Gb ext4 - /var, 1Tb ext4 -/home00:39
zzz2009Is his a reasonable setup, for a mail/samba/apache server?00:39
zzz2009There are no local users.00:39
zzz2009possible global shared space,00:39
debio264I just installed slapd on Karmic and I have no idea what the admin password is00:39
debio264dpkg-reconfigure slapd doesn't set it anymore, it would seem00:39
yann2zzz2009, no, it is not :)00:40
debio264so I'm not sure how I should procede00:40
yann2with the raid0, the first disk failure would make you lose all your data00:40
yann2use raid5 at least, raid10 if you care about performance00:40
zzz2009OK, but it gives me the largest sapce + best speed00:41
zzz2009sapce = space00:41
yann2yes00:42
yann2just be aware that you lose one disk, you lose everything, and disks tend to fail regularly ;)00:43
zzz2009raid5 gives me about 500-600Mb which leaves me wondering00:43
yann2? no it will give you 1.5TB00:43
zzz2009how soon an upgrade will be needed?00:43
yann2why would you want 100GB for /root ?00:43
zzz2009I am missing something, when I tried to setup a raid 5 I wound up with about 550Gb,00:44
yann2with 4 disks in raid 5, you would lose one disk :)00:45
zzz2009sorry /roo should be just /, I was typing what i was thinking not what i meant.00:46
zzz2009/roo = /root , I need to learn to type00:46
yann2the rest seems fine, just dont put it in raid 0 ;)00:46
yann2I wouldnt use raid5 neither if the mailserver is going to be used a lot though00:47
yann2depends on your usage I guess00:47
yann2gotta go, good night!00:47
zzz2009thanks yann200:47
zzz2009f not raid 5 what then00:50
yann2raid1000:51
yann2but you need hardware that supports it (not sure you can do a soft raid 10?) and you would have only 1TB all together00:51
qman__you can do soft raid 1000:53
qman__but raid 5 performs pretty well, only really high traffic servers will need more performance than that00:59
qman__it depends entirely on the level of activity you expect00:59
qman__number of users, number of emails, files on the samba share, etc...00:59
ninnypantsI had wemin 1.45 installed on my server using port 10000 and I unstalled it but when I try to install 1.49 it says that port 10000 is already in use why  is this?01:07
=== Claw_ is now known as Claw6
twbRAID5 has better read and worse write speed than RAID10, I heard.01:28
twbninnypants: we don't support webmin here, sorry.01:28
twbninnypants: it would be reasonable to assume that something is already using that port.  ss or netstat will tell you what it is.01:28
JanCif you want remote admin over HTTP for your site, install AjaxTerm behind SSL with server + client keys  ;-)01:29
twbjavascript isn't http, grumble01:36
twbDo those web-based terminal emulators just do a normal socks5 tunnel over 443?01:37
twb(Or whatever; I've yet to find a box that I couldn't do ssh/putty -oPort=443 twb@foo.edu from.01:38
twbI'm forced to deploy webmin at work because of our retarded business model, where the customer pretends they can administer their own server.  AFAICT all they really need is a way to add and remove users, which could surely be done better by configuring libpam-ldap correctly or something.01:39
twbThey also make me install ubuntu-desktop on servers, because "they're used to Microsoft SBS, so we need a GUI on the server in case they connect a monitor to it"01:40
twbSo these boxes are sitting here starting mDNS and shit like that when they boot, sigh...01:40
ninnypantstwb: the feedback that net stat gives is udp        0      0 *:10000                 *:*                                 13040/perl01:41
JanCtwb: if you break things with something like AjaxTerm, at least you can be sure it's your own fault, webmin will do that without your help  ;)01:41
twbninnypants: which says that a perl process (PID 13040) is using it.01:41
twbJanC: I *really* do not need to be convinced that webmin is utterly, utterly the wrong thing.01:41
twbIf you want a giggle, run lintian on the deb sometime01:41
twbI think they manually build it with ar and tar01:41
JanCtwb: in reality, checkinstall probably...?01:42
twbShrug01:42
JanCanyway, webmin breaks Debian/Ubuntu, so don't use it01:44
twbwebmin breaks other systems, too01:46
JanCI have no experience with that  ;)01:46
twbAre you a chef/puppet fan?  At one point, we considered writing a web UI for it, i.e. basically it looks like webmin, but it writes manifests.01:46
twbBut we didn't have the budget for it01:46
ninnypantswhat is a good one to use then?01:52
twbThere are no good web administration tools01:53
twbOfficially Ubuntu recommends e-box, but I'm unimpressed with it01:53
ninnypantsis there a decent one that handles mysql?01:57
blak111phpmyadmin?01:58
StrangeCharmusing the karmic server RC, after attempting an install with encrypted lvm (and an unencrypted /boot in a normal partition), grub tells me 'error: no such disk'. what have i done wrong?01:59
twb"decent" and "mysql" don't belong in the same sentence02:00
twbStrangeCharm: boot a live CD and reinstall grub02:00
twbStrangeCharm: you can also ask #grub, but tell them you're using grub legacy (I assume 9.10 still doesn't use grub2).02:00
StrangeCharmtwb, is there a live environment on the server disk?02:01
StrangeCharmactually, i seem to recall that 9.10 did use grub202:01
twbI think there is; issue "rescue" at the boot: prompt.02:01
twbPersonally I tend not to use d-i for rescue purposes.02:02
StrangeCharmtwb, looks like grub2 is default: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910overview#GRUB%202%20by%20default02:02
twbI have had the most luck with the CentOS 4 and 5 live CDs, since they have LVM and md RAID support pre-installed, as well as openssh-server (though it doesn't start by default).02:02
twbOK, good to know.02:02
StrangeCharmis there a command i can give grub to ask it to boot a cd, or should i just reboot?02:03
twbYou need to rebot02:04
twb*reboot02:04
twbPersonally I am completely fed up with grub02:04
twbNowadays I deploy extlinux where I can02:04
StrangeCharmwhat's extlinux got over grub?02:05
twbStrangeCharm: it works in some md RAID failure modes that grub completely shits itself for02:06
twbBecause extlinux doesn't write an internal table of disks -- it just bootstraps the disk it booted from.02:06
twbThis is extremely useful when e.g. sda is dead and the BIOS "helpfully" renames sdb to sda, so that if the MBR on sdb tries to bootstrap (hd1), it will fail because there's only an (hd0) now.02:07
ScottK9.10 uses grub2 for new installs, but not upgrades.02:08
maxagazhow to apt-delete the cache ?02:09
StrangeCharmthis si a fresh install02:09
StrangeCharm*is02:09
StrangeCharmtwb, what's a command for installing grub2?02:12
smoserkirkland, i put the euca2ools build up in my ppa now, but haven't tested it yet.02:13
ScottKStrangeCharm: If it's a fresh install of karmic, you have grub2.02:14
StrangeCharmScottK, agreed, but it's not booting, so i want to make changes such that it will02:15
ScottKRight, but that's nothing to do with installing02:15
StrangeCharmScottK, twb's instructions were to reinstall grub. do you recommend a different course of action?02:17
ScottKI see. I missed that.02:18
ScottKNo, I don't have any specific recommendations as I haven't had to troublshoot it yet.02:18
zulsmoser: go to bed :)02:23
twbStrangeCharm: you need to mount / and /boot (e.g. /mnt/target and /mnt/target/boot) and then say grub-install --root-directory /mnt/target02:31
twbIf you're lucky, grub-install will work02:31
twbIf not, you have to run grub by hand and piss about02:31
StrangeCharmthough, that is made difficult by the fact that / requires lvm and dm-crypt, which you've said are not installed02:32
paul_whippIs it sensible to use AWS/Ubuntu server to host websites?02:32
twbStrangeCharm: you'd need to anna-install them or whatever, then02:33
twbStrangeCharm: although d-i might be smart enough to do that on its own02:33
StrangeCharmanna-install? d-i?02:34
twbdebian-installer (d-i) is the technology the Ubuntu server install CD is based on.02:34
twbanna-install is d-i's equivalent of apt-get install.02:34

StrangeCharmtwb, i take it that you won't be able to give me info about fixing grub?02:55
twbStrangeCharm: what more information do you need?02:56
StrangeCharmwell, i'm at a grub rescue prompt. i think i know why it isn't booting: it's looking at the wring disk. i want to tell it to load the grub config from the right disk, then try booting with that.02:58
twbAsk #grub02:59
twbI can't be arsed going through that now02:59

fahadsadahHave an Ubuntu Server box, with remctl-client08:08
fahadsadahThis box already has Kerberos configured.08:08
fahadsadahIt does not have rDNS.08:09
fahadsadahTo fix this, it is in a VPN.08:09
fahadsadahWith the KDC.08:09
fahadsadahWhich has rDNS.08:09
fahadsadahThe KDCs VPN broke.08:09
fahadsadahSo, I added to /etc/hosts on the client box, kdc.ip.address.here kerberos08:10
fahadsadah(so, basically, no rDNS for my box)08:10
fahadsadahremctl: GSS-API error initializing context: Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information, Server not found in Kerberos database08:10
simplexiofahadsadah: kerberos dosent know any server named "kerberos" , try edit hosts file and add full domain name08:14
simplexionot that i know its the problem, its my best quess based on information given08:14
fahadsadahThe FQDN is in there too.08:14
fahadsadahAlso, server not found in Kerberos database usually refers to the KDC not finding a machine account for my box.08:15
fahadsadahThere is one, and I can successfully kinit/kadmin as it with /etc/krb5.keytab08:15
simplexioso something changes between configurations, which caues that kerberos server dosent regonize client anymore08:18
fahadsadahThanks, I'll have to look into this further.08:18

simplexiooff course then dont forget root partition passphrase11:59
StrangeCharmsoren, what about the question stated thus: i am experiencing a problem. given my experience that ubuntu generally 'just works' should i expect that it's an actual bug, or that i'm doing something wrong?12:00

sorenStrangeCharm: I don't know. What's the problem?12:00

sorenStrangeCharm: Are you sure? Perhaps it just doesn't echo anything. Try typing your password and hitting return, ignoring the fact that there is no feedback.12:04

sorendid we merge that?13:00
kirklandsoren: not for karmic, i don't think, pitti thought it was a little too invasive13:00
kirklandsoren: we'll have it for lucid, of course13:00
kirklandsoren: and as far as the *real* problem goes, I think kees or jdstrand or mdeslaur might take a look at getting hibernate working with encrypted swap for lucid, perhaps13:00
kirklandsoren: i'm trying to lean on them about it, at least13:01
sorenkirkland: I'm not sure how that would work?13:01
kirklandsoren: there's a few propositions13:01
kirklandsoren: currently, we're randomly generating a swap key every boot (at least in the default enc swap setup, if you enc home)13:01
sorenkirkland: right.13:01
kirklandsoren: we could opportunistically wrap that random key when you login, in PAM13:02
kirklandsoren: and store the wrapped key in LUKS13:02
kirklandsoren: we could do that for at least a couple of users13:02
sorenI thought about that, but how would that work for resume?13:02
kirklandsoren: allowing any one of the valid, logged in users this boot to resume from hibernate13:02
kirklandsoren: we'd need to teach initramfs to obtain that password, and unwrap the LUKS contents13:03
kirklandsoren: there will necessarily be a password prompt on resume13:03
sorenkirkland: You don't know if there's anything to resume before you decrypt it, so you have to always ask for the passphrase..13:03
kirklandsoren: hmm, on cold boot?13:04
sorenUnless of course you store a bit on the root filesystem saying that there's stuff to be resumed.13:04
sorenkirkland: Yes.13:04

fooerr, I mean't 8.0413:05
foomy bad13:05
sorenAh.13:05
kirklandsoren: yeah, one of the key design goals is *not* to prompt for any password on boot13:05
fooerr, I mean 9.0413:05
kirklandsoren: push that auth all the way back to GDM (or PAM as the case is)13:05
fooheh, wow... I think I even wrote it wrong on the CD13:05
fooAny thoughts? Google-fu is failing me13:06
sorenkirkland: In a perfect world, we'd collect login credentials early enough to be able to use it for this, and then cache them and pass them to gdm.13:06
sorenkirkland: In that case, there'd be no problem prompting for the password.13:07
kirklandsoren: hmm, interesting13:07
sorenkirkland: We already ask users for their password. What we want to avoid is asking *twice*.13:07
soren:)13:07
kirklandsoren: in the encrypted LVM setup you mean?13:08
sorenYes.13:08
sorenIt would require being able to fire up X with a login screen without a rw filesystem.13:08
soren...but that's hardly on-topic for this channel :913:11

DrNick_there is gparted yes, but that requires X11 installed.  you could try 'cfdisk' instead of strait 'fdisk' - it provides a menu driven interface - very easy in my experience17:34
jsalisburyI performed an apt-get dist-upgrade to get to the RC.  Is there a way to force another upgrade even if I'm already at the RC?17:36
DrNick_aside from that though, i normally use lvm for all my volume management, so most drives i stick in a server don't have a partition table as such17:36

smosernekro_, ping regarding 46115620:05
nekro_smoser: I am unable to reproduce the problem. Eucalyptus should handle safe as well as unsafe b64 encoding in the latest upstream.20:10
smoserit absolutely reproduces with current karmic versions20:11
nekro_smoser: I don't know what to tell you.20:11
smoseryou see the stack trace? it looks at least reasonable that it would fail there.20:11
smoserin the code i'm looking at20:12
nekro_smoser: yep. there was an issue at some point. Not sure which revno it was fixed in (a while ago so not sure why you see in with the latest karmic)20:12
smoserwhere do i get upstream revision control from ?20:14
nekro_smoser: lp:eucalyptus/1.620:14
nagappanhi cr320:14
nagappancr3, I'm here :)20:15
cr3can someone recommend documentation about running two dhcp servers on the same network? is it even possible without wrecking havok?20:15
cr3nagappan: cool, now we wait for the gods to answer. I can be the virgin we offer as a sacrifice20:15
nagappancr3, :D20:17
_rubencr3: with which goal in mind? dhcpd supports clustering20:18
cr3_ruben: personally, I'm just curious. nagappan has another use case where he would like one dhcp server to offer static addresses and another dynamic addresses20:20
smoserkirkland, can you reproduce that bug ?  It is as easy as removing 2 lines in euca-run-instances, and then running: ec2-run-instances -k mykey --user-data " << FOO >" ${EMI}20:20
smosernekro_, note, that you have to have patch/fixed euca-run-instances to not double encode data20:21
_rubencr3 / nagappan : how would each dhcp server know whether or not to respond to a request?20:24
calziferhi, i'm trying to run xvfb with jdownloader on my homeserver without x, but how can i connect on the xvfb ?20:24
nagappan_ruben, First DHCP server has to serve based on MAC address20:24
_rubenand i dont see why you cant use a single dhcp server which hands out both static and dynamic leases (since that's what i do at work)20:25
guntbertnagappan: don't use 2 dhcp servers if possible - they tend to get in each other's way20:26
nekro_smoser: I see. yeah I had an older version installed. I can reproduce it now, thanks.20:27
nagappanguntbert, okay20:31
nagappanguntbert, cr3 suggested me to write static ip in /etc/network/interfaces, let me try that out, this is our test system in VMware, after a batch of test is completed, we do reimaging (using Clonezilla)20:32
nagappanguntbert, I have set of scripts which run on each host, probably I can populate the data20:33
cr3nagappan: just to make sure, if you hard code the static IP address in /etc/network/interfaces, you won't need the second dhcp server on the network, right?20:33
nagappancr3, we need it for reimaging by Clonezilla20:34
guntbertnagappan: sorry, I didn't follow - just jumped on the sentence with two dhcp servers - and of course it is possible to have one server to disk out fixed addresses and random ones20:34
cr3nagappan: so hard coding the static IP address might only solve one of your problems but, as suggested by guntbert, you probably shouldn't be running 2 dhcp servers. could you perhaps isolate both networks by vlan or something?20:35
smoseryou could run 2 dhcp servers on one network, but you just want to make sure that for every MAC that the one is going to answer on , the other is going to ignore20:36
qman__yeah, things like clonezilla should generally be done on an isolated network20:36
smoserand vice versa. otherwise you're asking for confusion.20:36
cr3nagappan: if I may speculate, is the problem that you have one dhcp server managed by people outside your team and you need another dhcp server managed by your team for other purposes?20:36
nekro_smoser: I have confirmed that euca-run-instances --user-data works against amazon. I am adding this as an upstream task to fix20:38
cr3qman__: nagappan seems to have two nics per machine, so it should be feasible to isolate cloning to one physical network and the rest to the other more general network20:38
nagappancr3, sure20:38
smosernekro_, it is fairly high priority as a karmic-updates... user-data is generally broken without it20:39
nagappancr3, second dhcp server maintained by our techops team20:39
nagappancr3, fist dhcp server maintained by me, with Clonezilla setup20:39
cr3nagappan: aha! so there's probably a lot of overhead to implementing smoser's approach where you'd have to ask the techops team to specifically ignore each mac address you intend to server statically from your own dhcp server20:40
smoseri suspected that cr3 was correct.  it'd definitely be a pain to coordinate20:41
cr3nagappan: instead, you're probably better off isolating both networks, just using vlans if you happen to have that luxury or physically otherwise. then, both dhcp servers will not conflict with each other20:41
smoseri have done this before, but in a network where the "official" server only responded to known macs20:41
smoserso my dhcp server was free to respond to known macs that the first didn't know about20:42
