[00:16] I'm about to take control over a zone entry for a domain which is currently delegated to a DNS server outside my control. I've been advised to use named-xfer to make a backup of the zone, but that tool doesn't appear to exist in Ubuntu. Was it replaced, or am I not looking properly? [00:20] Does anyone know about Google Apps for email and what happens if you switch hosting companies? [00:26] Sattvic: Not sure I understand what you're asking, since Google Apps is hosted with Google. Switching hosting companies doesn't make sense to me in that context. What do you really mean? [00:27] My static html files are on a shared server. I am using Google apps to host my email by pointing my MX mail records to them. But now I want to switch web hosting providers and I want to know how that will effect my email [00:29] Sattvic: Well, that depends on who controls your DNS. If you only change the CNAMES for your web space, the MX records will not be affected, but if your hosting company controls the DNS, make sure that they don't "help" you by changing everything. [00:29] I'm going offline, back in about 30 minutes. [00:30] I will be using zoneedit for my DNS management - will this manage MX records too them? [00:31] owh: There is no named-xfer in bind v9. named itself can do the same thing named-xfer used to do. This is mentioned in http://www.bind9.net/manual/bind/9.3.2/Bv9ARM.ch06.html === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [01:23] soren, smoser: Is there any way that vmbuilder might somehow remove /dev/null and other /dev files?

[03:28] where do i set the defaultroute? [03:32] In shorewall's config files, I would think, or if not, in /etc/network/interfaces as usual on any Ubuntu server.

[10:03] morning [10:03] I've got an issue regarding partitions that need resizing on a live production server (yes, kill me later). http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8412551#post8412551 - I could really do with some help in this [10:11] AlexC_: Sounds like you actually need to move hundreds of gigabytes around on the platters. I don't see you have any options other than shutting the entire thing down, and rebuilding the new desired layout on a new physical drive, then swapping out the physical drives [10:11] ouch, not what I wanted to hear :P [10:13] well, let me throw this out there: [10:14] resize sda9 to be smaller, say by 10gb. Mv sda8 and sda7 below sda9 (to fill the new space I've just created) and then expand sda6 into the space that sda6 and 7 used to take? [10:15] That would give me, 6gb extra for /var [10:15] better, because it reduces the "move partition" dataset to 2.8G [10:16] do you believe this would be viable? [10:16] oh, sda8 is tiny [10:16] not 2.8G, less than a gig [10:16] yes it's /tmp and sda7 is swap [10:17] that seems a lot more viable [10:17] as you can probably tell - this entire partition table is messed up. I'm not sure what the installer did when I first did it, but to start with, / was 500mb =) [10:17] so I've had to do something like this few months back [10:18] The key thing here is to not be moving the start of any large partition, because that will force a full data-copy from one location on the disk to another [10:18] quick question, obviously I'm going to have to disable swap which is fine - but how will the kernel handle an unmounted /tmp partition? [10:20] The kernel shouldn't care. But userspace stuff might well [10:20] ok, well I can shutdown most if not all services [10:21] Still, you seem to have enough space on / that it should be able to get by with /tmp living on the root partition for a little while [10:21] ah, yes - that'll do it [10:21] Just remember to set the permissions properly on the /tmp mountpoint after you've unmounted it [10:22] how'd you mean? [10:23] I mean, the permissions on the underlying mountpoint will likely not be the proper ones for an active /tmp directory [10:23] Because once mounted, it is the permissions on the mounted device which matter [10:23] oh right, yes [10:24] Thought for the future: I don't see any reason for partitioning so aggressively at all - not if everything's on the same underlying disc anyway [10:25] true [10:29] maxb, silly question, how do I actually get /tmp on /? Simply unmount and remove entry from fstab, then kernel should just start using /tmp on /? [10:33] The kernel doesn't really use /tmp [10:33] Use lsof +D /tmp to get an idea of what processes you'll need to stop / kill [10:33] check and rememember the current permissions [10:33] unmount and reapply permissions [10:34] update fstab just in case, I guess [10:49] maxb, how about http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8412551#post8412551 ?

[12:57] Oh /lucid! [12:57] Erm.. Yeah, that's unfortunate. [12:58] soren: in terms of targeting things for lucid, I'm worrying first about the things we are doing for the first iteration (alpha 2) [12:58] we'll be re-juggling priorities at that point anyway [12:58] I think we have enough to do for alpha 2 already [12:58] Ok. [13:02] ttx: that reminds me, what should we do with java-library-fixes? [13:03] mdz: it's reasonable to target it to post-alpha2, I'd say alpha-3 [13:03] you already have euca-remote-registration and eucalyptus-karmic-retro work to do for alpha 2; do you think java-library-fixes is doable as well? [13:04] ok, let's leave it un-milestoned then [13:04] mdz: those are all "good to have" fixes for LTS rather than new features [13:04] ttx: bug-zapping is milestoned for alpha 1(?!) but has no spec yet [13:05] mdz: yes, kirkland targeted it, I think the idea was to have it started early in the cycle [13:05] mdz: though it could be considered "completed" by the end of the cycle [13:06] depending on whether the spec covers just the process setup or the zapping sessions as well. [13:06] ttx: I don't even know what work is involved since there is no spec or work items [13:09] mdz: kirkland should work on that one when UEC testing is fixed. Should be unmilestoned until you get more info [13:10] mdz: I just thought we wanted to have everything spec'ed by the end of last week, not just the stuff for alpha 2 (which AIUI is yet to be completely defined)?

[14:13] hello [14:13] hey === ogra_ is now known as ogra [14:14] right, what I did was split /dev/sda9 up to make another 50gb partition. What I then did was 'dd if=/dev/sda6 of=/dev/sda10' to copy the old /var over to the new partition. However when doing an 'fsck -n /dev/sda10' it came up with filesystem errors regarding inodes. So, I did 'mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda10' and 'cp -ar /var /vartmp' (mounted /dev/sda10 as /vartmp) [14:15] however - while files do seem to be in the new /var, some things aren't. I don't think a 'cp' is the best way to do this. How else can I copy the older (smaller) partition data to the newer, larger one?

[16:10] ttx: no diff on perms [16:10] ttx: it doesn't look like the $CLEAN var is being passed [16:10] ttx: as if i remove the $CLEAN = 1 test, it does remove the files [16:10] arh, more upstart mysteries [16:11] then it's a regression... we should hold that -proposed release [16:11] kirkland: if you pined pitti, you should ask him to pause [16:11] pinged [16:12] maybe it's the bashism [16:12] ttx: i think it's a shell bashism [16:12] [ "${CLEAN}" = "1" ] && rm -f /var/lib/eucalyptus/CC/* [16:12] vs. [16:13] [ "${CLEAN}" = 1 ] && rm -f /var/lib/eucalyptus/CC/* [16:13] "1" works [16:13] 1 doesn't work [16:13] ttx: i think that's all there is to it [16:13] * kirkland tests some more [16:13] ttx: yup [16:14] ttx: that's it [16:14] kirkland: what's your opinion ? we probably shouldn't release 7.3 without a way to CLEAN the cc env, imo [16:15] ttx: yeah, i agree [16:15] * ttx grumbles [16:15] ttx: i know .... [16:15] ttx: it takes so long to get all parties to agree on an SRU [16:15] two options, fast-tracking a 7.4 with only the one-liner fix [16:16] or do a complete 7?4 [16:16] 7.4 [16:16] I prefer the one-liner option [16:16] since I'd like long testing of the rampart/ memleak fix [16:16] ttx: well, if we release 7.3 as is, it's at least 1 week before -updates users get this CLEAN restart fix [16:17] ttx: okay, i'll upload a 7.4 with this one-liner fix [16:20] ttx: is mathiaz working today [16:20] ttx: i'd like him to ack this simple change [16:20] kirkland: he should [16:20] ttx: cool [16:21] ttx: http://paste.ubuntu.com/331811/ [16:21] ttx: i'd like to upload that to karmic-proposed now [16:21] ttx: and ask pitti to hold off on promoting 7.3 [16:24] kirkland: do you have the power to reject it from -proposed, as an AA ? [16:25] ttx: yes, I think so, but we're not supposed to touch our own uploads [16:25] ok [16:26] ttx: hrm ... [16:32] any canonical reps here?

[17:31] I thought it was only for inter-cluster communication, is that right? [17:57] smoser: pong [17:57] hm... i think i figured out what i was going to ask. [17:57] but i do have one question [17:57] what do the lucid kernels look like for ec2 ? [17:57] they have any changes to karmic in them? [17:58] yeah, I rolled in ext4, and virtaudio [17:58] I uploaded a test kernel last week [17:59] smoser: I still need to finish going through the configs, but the kernel should start showing up as part of the daily builds this week [18:00] smoser: 64bit 2.6.32 test kernel aki-c4c527ad, ari-d8c527b1 [18:00] ok. so the ones that are in the archive now are just karmic, but later this week you'll push "real lucid" [18:00] right? [18:00] right [18:01] apw: was doing some packaging work on it this morning [18:01] so you'll expect that 428692 would be fixed [18:02] bug #428692 [18:02] Launchpad bug 428692 in linux-ec2 "ec2 kernel needs CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y and other config changes" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/428692 [18:02] jjohansen, yep, my test builds are going now [18:02] so those would be turned on. [18:02] smoser: yep [18:02] jjohansen, are those config changes in your branch i took? [18:02] the other part of that bug is "more like -virtual" [18:02] apw: yes [18:02] jjohansen, ok thanks [18:02] ie, pruning of non-virutal related modules [18:03] jjohansen, you happy with the ocntents of your branch, as a first stab -ec2 kernel for lucid? assuming my builds pass now ? [18:03] smoser: I haven't rolled in all the virtual config options but I did grab the ones we have some bugs against, ext4, loop, virtaudio [18:03] apw: yeah [18:03] jjohansen, ack, ok my test builds look ok, so i'll be getting it up shortly [18:04] apw: thanks [18:04] jjohansen, ok... thats good, just wanting it also to be smaller, no reason for lots of drivers in ec2 [18:05] yeah, this first round is bigger than it needs to be, but the configs will get tightened up [18:07] mathiaz: hi! [18:08] mathiaz: i have some questions about eucalyptus clean-restart [18:08] mathiaz: something about this is making powersave not work quite right [18:14] mathiaz: also, i need to talk to you about the uec-testing spec === jdstrand_ is now known as jdstrand [18:28] jpds: thanks.

[18:42] hi all..i have a pc with ubuntu and a brand new install..is possible to use the installed debs via synaptic and install on the fresh install? cause i haven't a high speed internet here [18:44] ok found some in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [18:48] jpds: hurm, I think /cloud/support is aimed more at end-users... I want to find a way to potentially integrate a support offering in to a cloud service [18:57] !firewall [18:57] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo).

[20:28] Folks: what's the state of the art in union filesystems for Karmic? I'm trying to build a USB flash drive for boot, and ideally a union with a RAM disk so that writes don't actually reach the flash. [20:28] ttx: i thought that it would be best to get the fixes we have out now [20:28] ttx: so that we can focus on the next round of fixes [20:28] kirkland: agreed. [20:28] ttx: good ;-) i was hoping we'd see eye to eye on this one [20:29] kirkland: could you file a bug about the missing start/CLEAN=1 ? [20:30] ttx: well, or convert the one i opened to actually say that [20:30] kirkland: we'll have to test if restart / CLEAN=1 as well, dunno how well tat would work [20:30] kirkland: sure. [20:30] ttx: mathiaz is having some hardware issues with his laptop today [20:30] though the race in stop is actually a separate issue from missing start/CLEAN=1 support [20:30] ttx: i was going to sync up with him once he's back online [20:31] ok, see you tomorrow then. [20:31] keep the bugs updated ;) [20:48] https://wiki.edubuntu.org/KernelTeam/ReleaseStatus/Karmic says that aufs is chosen as the union mechanism for karmic, but https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2009-April/005184.html says that it is disabled for karmic. Which is newer? [20:51] Hm, and https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/update-manager-aufs-karmic seems to say that aufs will be supported in karmic.

[21:22] mathiaz: we've decided to fix that in the next upload [21:22] kirkland: IIRC CLEAN=1 is a new feature ? [21:22] mathiaz: i think you added it in 7.2 [21:22] kirkland: well - we've changed the default behavior of the init script, then added an option to fall back to the old behavior if needed [21:23] mathiaz: right, and I'm saying that I don't think the fallback code (CLEAN=1) is quite adequate [21:23] mathiaz: ie, i sometime restart with CLEAN=1 and my /var/lib/eucalyptus/CC is *not* cleaned [21:24] kirkland: ok. [21:24] mathiaz: but sometimes it is [21:24] kirkland: we can fix that in another SRU I guess [21:24] kirkland: now it may be related to upstart? [21:24] mathiaz: yeah, ttx already has another branch going [21:24] kirkland: great - anything else I can help with? [21:24] mathiaz: yes, as a matter of fact [21:25] mathiaz: i'm also working on the eucalyptus upstream merge for lucid [21:25] mathiaz: it seems that they have added a debian/ directory [21:25] mathiaz: this is giving me some trouble [21:25] kirkland: right - they mentioned that at UDS [21:25] mathiaz: when i do a "bzr export" from their 1.6 branch, i get a debian/ in the tarball [21:26] mathiaz: bzr bd -S doesn't like this at all [21:26] kirkland: hm... I kind of understand why [21:27] * mathiaz thinks about a solution [21:27] mathiaz: we could manually create the tarball [21:27] mathiaz: bzr export really should have a --exclude option [21:27] mathiaz: i've been asking the bzr guys this for >1 year [21:27] kirkland: right - but don't you run into problem when you merge the upstream branch in the ubuntu branch? [21:28] mathiaz: oh, well, yeah, that's another part of the problem [21:29] kirkland: let me try something.. [21:29] kirkland: you're still using lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/eucalyptus/ubuntu/ as the branch to work from? [21:29] kirkland: for your lucid branch? [21:30] kirkland: and what's the upstream branch you're trying to merge? [21:33] mathiaz: on the phone with nurmi [21:36] soren: hi! fyi, I'll be working on the libvirt merge today/tomorrow [21:37] jdstrand: Merge with Debian or upstream or both? [21:37] soren: well, both [21:37] soren: upstream just has a couple of things [21:38] jdstrand: You're kidding, right? [21:38] soren: 0.7.2 has almost everything, but needs a few extra bits [21:38] jdstrand: the changelog from 0.7.2 -> 0.7.4 is gigantic. [21:38] soren: oh, gosh, not 0.7.4 [21:38] soren: I meant merge Debian, and apply a couple small commits for the AA driver [21:38] jdstrand: Ah, ok. That's what I meant by "with upstream" :) [21:39] soren: after this merge, it won't be as important that *I* do it [21:40] soren: this one is slightly messy cause 0.7.0 has the sVirt patch and 0.7.2 has it included [21:40] Of course then you'll be TIL and stuck with it forever anyway. [21:40] ;-) [21:40] ScottK: ssshh.. All part of my master plan :) [21:41] heh, maybe I'll 'accidentally' forget the changes to ubuntu15 ;) [21:42] jdstrand: Feel free to comment out the eventtest unit test. I need to poke at that a little bit. [21:42] jdstrand: Without that one, everything should work just fine. [21:42] soren: ok [21:45] mathiaz: okay, back now [21:46] mathiaz: lp:eucalyptus/1.6 and lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/eucalyptus/ubuntu [21:46] mathiaz: i think it's going to be easiest just to create the tarball myself --excluding .bzr and debian/ [21:46] kirkland: ok - thanks. I'll try a couple of things to handle the debian/ directory [21:46] mathiaz: cool, let me know what you find [21:46] kirkland: yeah - that won't solve the case of the merge though [21:47] mathiaz: fwiw ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/331961/ [21:47] mathiaz: i'm trying to document what needs to be done each time i merge [21:47] mathiaz: i have the TODO of merging Eucalyptus into Lucid every Monday, once a week [21:47] * mathiaz oks [21:48] mathiaz: those instructions are kinda broken right now, due to the debian/ wonkiness [21:50] kirkland++ # scripting [21:51] FWIW, the Tahoe-LAFS project is planning our next release to be early enough to get into Lucid: http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-November/003169.html [21:51] kane_: is that an affirmation? :-) [21:52] positive karma for automating tasks, right? :) [21:52] kane_: ah, yeah :-) [21:52] kirkland: seems I got the merge working: [21:53] mathiaz: hrm, what was I doing wrong? [21:53] kirkland: branch upstream-1.6, bzr remove debian/, bzr ci [21:53] kirkland: branch lucid, bzr merge upstream-1.6-nodebian [21:53] mathiaz: oh, that's cheating :-) [21:53] kirkland: well - hopefully upstream will do the same soon ;) [21:54] mathiaz: i talked to dan; he was going to see about removing debian/ [21:54] mathiaz: but no promises right now [21:54] mathiaz: i suggested that he creates a packaging/ dir, and bzr mv's debian to there [21:54] kirkland: ok - so they'll probably do the same thing [21:54] mathiaz: and symlinks to it when they want to build their package or something [21:54] tar zcvf eucalyptus_$VER~bzr$REVNO.orig.tar.gz --exclude .bzr --exclude debian eucalyptus_$VER~bzr$REVNO [21:54] mathiaz: ^ is what i'm doing for now [21:55] kirkland: right - did you add to a get-orig-source rule? [21:55] kirkland: get-orig-source target in the debian/rules file? [21:56] mathiaz: no ... but I will if i can make this work in an automated fashion [21:56] kirkland: and the merge shouldn't be that hard actually - we know which version of the file we want [21:56] kirkland: there isn't any manual editing to be done [21:56] mathiaz: what "file" ? [21:56] * mathiaz tries [22:11] I feel duuuumb. Say I have a user in group X (but is not its primary group) which is the group-owner of folder Y... with 770 permissions I can't access Y with user X. Am I missing something? [22:11] *with user in group X [22:12] Does it have to be that user's primary group in order to access the folder with those perms? That doesn't make any sense to me, but I am often crazy. [22:16] mathiaz: okay, i like your bzr rm debian method [22:16] mathiaz: seems to work well enough [22:17] kirkland: well... [22:17] kirkland: I'm looking at another way [22:17] kirkland: I don't know how things will work for the *next* merge [22:18] kirkland: another option is to merge upstream-1.6 [22:18] I am dumb, relogging in ftw [22:18] kirkland: that will create a conflict with the ubuntu debian/ directory being moved to debian.moved (with upstream in debian/). [22:18] kirkland: then you'd commit the change as is (resolving the other conflict.) [22:19] kirkland: and then move back all the files from debian.moved/ to debian/ [22:19] kirkland: but that doesn't really solve the problem... [22:19] kirkland: it would probably be a bigged mess for the next merge [22:19] kirkland: bigger mess [22:20] mathiaz: yeah [22:20] kirkland: at least here we know what files are from upstream (debian/), and which ones are from ubuntu (debian.moved/) [22:21] kirkland: I think the intermediate branch is the best option [22:21] kirkland: we can construct the tarball from the intermediate branch (upstream-1.6-nodebian) [22:28] I'm unable to SSH into my Ubuntu server anymore, and I suspect it's because of a recent update. [22:29] Automatic updates are enabled and nothing else has changed for the server. [22:29] It's running well, still serving expected content on port 80. [22:29] the only thing that is broken is OpenSSH server. [22:29] currently there's no other way of accessing the server. [22:30] dragon: do you connect to the port, or is the port not open? [22:31] Hi, im installing 9.10 server on my home server. When i get to 'Installing Grub' it just knocks me out and back to the ubuntu installer main menu, any ideas? [22:31] cj, port is open and I get as far as authentication [22:31] cj, both password and public key methods fail. [22:31] cj, actually they don't fail, they go through and then it hangs. [22:31] it reminds me of an old bug that went away in Fedora 3. [22:35] *, http://pastebin.com/d1535ebbd [22:38] dragon: try logging in as root? [22:38] dragon: maybe your home directory mount point is busted? [22:39] cj: as far as I remember, I set root login ot without-password, so that's not expected to work [22:39] cj: root isn't enabled by default on Ubuntu. [22:39] cj: my home directory was a part of /, but I can think of a different unrelated nfs mount point that is broken. [22:39] try rsync? [22:39] -e ssh, of course [22:40] rsync goes through ssh by default... [22:40] oh? maybe I'll start dropping -e ssh in that case. [22:40] kirkland: hm - I may have another solution to merge the upstream branch directly in the ubuntu branch [22:40] kirkland: discussing it currently in #bzr [22:40] mathiaz: okay [22:41] kirkland: so basically you just merge the upstream branch into the ubuntu branch : bzr merge ../upstream [22:41] dragon: rsync might skip whatever point is failing in your login workflow [22:41] kirkland: that will create a conflict with the debian directory with the ubuntu debian/ directory being moved to debian.moved/ [22:42] kirkland: to resolve that conflict: bzr remove --force debian/ ; bzr move debian.moved/ debian/ [22:42] mathiaz: hmm, okay [22:42] mathiaz: i can give that a shot [22:42] kirkland: a bzr st should show no changes being made to the debian directory [22:42] kirkland: now the question is what is going to happen on subsequent merges (when there is a change made by upstream in the debian/ directory) [22:43] mathiaz: i'm perfectly comfortable doing your original suggestion [22:43] mathiaz: in fact, i've already scripted it [22:43] mathiaz: it's working well [22:43] mathiaz: and i've moved on to fighting with debian/patches conflicts [22:44] kirkland: ok - that works as well. [22:44] mathiaz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/331994/ [22:44] mathiaz: wait, that's old [22:45] mathiaz: no, that's right [22:45] kirkland: REVNO=$(bzr log | head -n2 | tail -n1 | awk '{print $2}') - try to use bzr revno instead [22:45] cj: same problem with rsync, so it's not skipping that point [22:45] mathiaz: see lines 4..14 [22:46] cj: i tried `ssh hostname.local ls` earlier, and encountered the same problem.
