erichammond-X preserve extended attributes00:00
erichammondI'm a huge rsync fan, but there were enough special cases, that I start to wonder if I got them all.00:01
erichammondA generic tool like this should do the right thing for all edge cases users are likely to come up with.00:02
mdlueckHas anyone ever heard of start_daemon not backgrounding processes? Suddenly one program trying to use that to start its daemon find the script hanging at the call to start_daemon and the daemon is responsive.00:09
RoAkSoAxzul, found why I couldn't run the hook and now I can, and it was something related to the apt cache, but now im doing something different to test the hooks and works including the staging00:10
zulRoAkSoAx: sweet00:11
RoAkSoAxanyways i'll work on it/test and then bother you for review :)00:11

sabgentonwhat is the command to rebuild device.map00:54
jpdssoren: update-grub ?00:54
jpdssabgenton: ^--.00:54
smosererichammond, i'm just familiar with rsync, and its one command, not 2. so i don't have to check both sides of the pipe00:55
smoserbut, regarding sparse, and acl, and hard links you're definitely right.00:55
erichammondsmoser: That's fine. Just make sure you pack in enough options to really duplicate the contents.00:55
smoseryeah00:55
sabgentongrub 2 is a pain it didn't make the autodected boot entrys right00:55
sabgentonnow I have grub entrys that are useless00:56
sabgentonhave to make one in /etc/grub.d/40_custom I guess00:57
sabgentonoh wait I think it looks at fstab00:59
sabgentonand it was wrong at the time00:59
sabgentonwill try again00:59
zoran119hi02:52
zoran119i have a ubuntu server (8.04 lts) running as a vm on hyper-v and almost every day the clock gets stuck in a 5 second loop...02:53
zoran119any idea what could be causing the problem?02:53
cefzoran119: are you running ntpdate or ntpd int hat vm? vm's usually don't need to sync their time, just the host02:56
cefzoran119: it's the only thing that comes to mind at the moment02:56
maxagazhow can I can kill such process: root     19294  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S    Feb28   0:00 [nfsv4-svc]03:40
twbmaxagaz: that's a kernel thread.03:41
maxagazknowing that kill -9 doesn't work03:41
twbThe square brackets mean "I'm the kernel"03:41
twb(IIUC)03:41
maxagaztwb, okay03:41
maxagaztwb, what can I do then ?03:41
maxagaztwb, it was set by someone else...03:42
twbrmmod nfs or something, might get rid of it.03:42
twbWhy do you need to get rid of it?03:42
maxagaztwb, I suspect it to be responsible of lags on the machine03:42
maxagazrmmod nfs03:43
maxagazERROR: Module nfs is in use03:43
twbmaxagaz: why do you suspect that?03:46
maxagazactually, it seems better since I've unmounted to directory in /tmp03:47
twbI have a network of 8.04 clients and an 8.04 server.  Users and groups (above 1000) are centralized in an OpenLDAP RFC 2307 database.04:30
twbNow, I need all users to have access to floppies, i.e. to be in the floppy (25) group.04:30
twbHow do I do that?  The floppy group isn't in LDAP, it's in flat files on each host.04:30
persiatwb: Fiddle /etc/nsswitch.conf and stick it in LDAP?04:35
twbThinking laterally, I wonder if I could just use a udev rule to "chgrp users /dev/fd0".04:37
twbAny old bodge will suffice, but for my own sanity I'd like it to be the least-worst bodge.04:38
persiaWell, of course.04:38
persiaudev rule either means manual management or a local package.  LDAP swich means manual management *and* LDAP config.  Which is less headache?04:38
twbI should add that the client machines are all netboot from a single image04:40
axisysi have two disks mirrored .. looking for procedure to upgrade to next release, for example lucid when it is available in apr, and failover back to older release..04:47
persiatwb: That's why "local package".  You deploy something that adds an entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and includes your rule (or split in two packages if you like), and then you can update all the machines by tweaking that package, rather than by changing all the netboot images.04:48
axisysi solaris i break the mirror, while system is running, upgrade the in inactive disk - the detached one from mirror, and reboot from that ..04:48
axisyss/i solaris/in solaris/04:48
axisysif the upgrade breaks any os, i switch back to the orig disk04:49
axisysso one reboot for each is the only outage04:49
axisysis there something similar available w/ ubuntu server ?04:49
Roxyhart0 hi there i am trying to install moodle, i just download the files .tgz but when i try to uncompress using the command tar -zxvf moodle-weekly-19.tgz i got error that the file is not format gzip. any idea?05:59
ivoksfile moodle-weekly-19.tgz06:04
Roxyhart0yes, i just see i can do apt-get moodle, but i am not sure if it can work fine. anyone have experience installing moodle?06:06
ivoksi don't see why it wouldn't work06:06
Roxyhart0im trying now thanks06:09
* persia has recently seen a number of .tgz files that were actually uncompressed tarballs.06:15
ivoksprobably web server is doing decompressing06:19
twbivoks: if you mean when clicking in firefox, it'll be firefox, not the server sie06:20
twb*side06:20
ivoksyou think?06:20
twbivoks: because of Accept-Encodings: gzip06:20
twbFirefox thinks the file coming back is gzipped only because it said it supported gzip06:20
ivokshm... yeah06:20
twbYou won't see that fail with e.g. wget06:21
twbivoks: oh, and also because the server returns application/x-gzip or whatever for .tar.gz06:21
ivokstrue06:21
ivokslucid is looking macish06:22
persiaActually, in at least one case, the decompression had happend prior to it being posted on the website (I spent some time investigating with the person posting the artifact).  Probably the same cause, but don't always blame your browser.06:22
twbI was just commenting on server vs. browser06:23
ivoksdoes w3m supports it?06:23
twbw3m sends Accept-Encodings: gzip ..., but midori doesn't06:23
ivoksprobably, /lib/libz.so.106:23
twbI know this because occasionally my proxy (polipo) will feed the gzipped file to midori and I get garbage onscreen06:24
skritecan someone reccomend an easy how to for getting postfix to allow a user to send via smtp from a computer not on our lan?06:37
skritehaving an awful time with it06:37
twbskrite: you want SMTP/SSL on the submission port (587).06:38
twbI don't know the details06:38
twbThat or become an open gateway and hope for the best until you get RBLd.06:39
skritetwb, i think i need port 2506:39
skriteRBLd?06:39
twbblacklisted06:39
skriteah, ok06:39
skritethen yes !06:40

skritethanks06:41
skritethis is insane07:36
skritei have gone through the examples on the ubuntu wiki about a half dozen times, and still not getting it to work07:37
skritejust doesn't seem like this should be this difficult07:37
|Mike|what07:37
|Mike|struggling with sasl ? :D07:38
skriteyeah, still struggling07:39
jiboumansmorning08:07
soreno/08:10
skritehey08:11
skritedo i need to have the full domain name as my host name?  like  machine.mydomain.com ?08:17
lucid_intervalskrite: do you mean for postfix?08:17
skriteyes08:17
lucid_intervalskrite: you need to tell postfix which hostnames to "receive mail for" - i.e. consider as local machine08:18
lucid_intervalthis can be one or more hostnames - can include your FQDN (machine.example.com)08:18
skriteall the ones listed as mydestination?08:19
lucid_intervalskrite: what is mydestination?08:20
lucid_intervalskrite: yes. whatever is listed as mydestination08:20
lucid_intervalbut your hostname is ONE of those values.08:21
skriteok08:21
lucid_intervalskrite: and you MIGHT list all of the values under mydestination in /etc/hosts08:21
lucid_intervalskrite: in the simplest of cases, your hostname = machine.example.com, mydestination will be just that08:22
skriteok. i am a little confused here.  The machine name with the prefix of the domain.   like our machine is  server.mydomain.com  so when i log in, my prompt looks like server #   however, the mail domain is mail.ourdomain.com08:24
skritethe hostname of the machine is server08:24
lucid_intervalskrite: then your case is a little more involved. mydestination should include ALL the hostnames in the SMTP context that this postfix instance will consider local08:25
skriteand the same with the /etc/hosts ?08:26
lucid_intervalskrite: strictly speaking it has NOTHING to do with /etc/hosts or DNS or hostname08:26
skriteok08:26
lucid_intervalskrite: if an incoming SMTP connection has a To/CC/BCC email address that is _NOT_08:27
lucid_intervalskrite: one of the values in mydestination, that is considered non-local and the08:27
lucid_intervalskrite: request is effectively a relay request. All email addresses that end in values in mydestination08:27
lucid_intervalskrite are considered "local" and therefore _NOT_ relay requests08:28
skritewhoa, so i don't want to include them if i am trying to set up an account client that is not within the LAN?08:28
skritenot on the local network or local machine, i mean.08:29
lucid_intervalskrite: don't understand what you're asking. I was referring to what is considered a relay08:29
skritethe user has a username and password and a Maildir on the machine, but needs to connect from a mail client not on the same machine08:29
lucid_intervalskrite: request versus request for "local" delivery. There are separate constraints / checks08:30
lucid_intervalskrite: around whether relaying is ALLOWED or not - e.g. AUTH08:30
skriteok08:30
skritethink i get it08:30
lucid_intervalskrite: I get your case now. User has a _LOCAL_ account. But connects with a mail client08:31
skriteright08:31
lucid_intervalskrite: that will make SMTP requests from a remote network location08:31
skriteyes08:31
lucid_intervalskrite: presumably some of those requests will be to send email to _OTHER_ users on this local08:31
skriteactually, no.08:32
lucid_intervalskrite: mail domain (to be "locally" delivered) while other SMTP requests will be to relay emails08:32
lucid_intervalskrite: to other mail domains.08:32
skritethe mail account is actually for a machine that will only need to send via relay. to other domains08:32
lucid_intervalskrite: the mydestination piece specifies what is considered "local" versus "foreign" (non-local)08:32
lucid_intervalskrite: ok. so case 1 may have ZERO requests. you still need to instruct postfix as to what is for "local"08:33
skriteok, so what it considers a relay or not08:33
lucid_intervalskrite: delivery versus "relay". If NOTHING is ever lcoally delivered to users on this box, you should08:33
lucid_intervalskrite: be setting up this postfix as a "smart relay" to relay all mail to the main SMTP host.08:34
lucid_intervalskrite: in that case, this client can also (probably should also) relay via _THAT_ main SMTP host08:34
skriteok testing08:36
skritewhat log can i look in to see why smtp is not happening right? mail.log does not show anything when i try to send via smtp08:43
sherrskrite: what mail server?08:47
skritethe smtp server08:49
lucid_interval_skrite: did you finish testing?08:49
skritewell, sort of, all i am getting from a client is that unable to send check with your network administrator, yadda yadda08:51
skritecheck with the network administrator? i AM the network administrator !08:52
lucid_interval_can you try sending email _locally_ - to see postfix is accepting incoming mail for local delivery?08:52
skriteyes, that is working08:53
lucid_interval_then check from the remote client sending email that should be considered local - for local delivery on the postfix box08:53
lucid_interval_the final part is selectively enabling relaying based on AUTH (since you don't want to be an open SMTP relay)08:53
skriteok08:53
skriteyou mean test from like user1@mydomain.com to user2@mydomain.com?08:55
lucid_interval_skrite: from can be anything. to should be something like user2@mydomain.com - where mydomain.com is in the mydestination list08:56
lucid_interval_in fct you should test all teh different values in the mydestination list08:56
skriteno, i am getting a login failed08:56
lucid_interval_skrite: so here is where the AUTH part comes in. Did you finish setting up the STARTTLS?08:59
skriteyes, i think so.08:59
lucid_interval_skrite: Are you planning on using saslauth directly with postfix or authenticate through dovecot?08:59
skritei am good with either, really, dovecot is our pop client and is working09:00
lucid_interval_skrite: ok. when you do a 'telnet localhost 25' on the postfix box and then type 'ehlo localhost' at the SMTP prompt,09:01
lucid_interval_skrite: do you see STARTTLS and AUTH?09:02
skriteI see STARTTLS but  the lines with AUTH are   AUTH PLAIN LOGIN and AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN09:03
lucid_interval_skrite: cool. that works.09:04
lucid_interval_skrite: take a look atthis page to setup the sasl through dovecot:09:04
lucid_interval_skrite: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixDovecotSASL09:04
skriteok09:04
skritethanks for all this, by the way09:05
lucid_interval_skrite: cool. you're welcome. lots of ppl have helped me too - not least by writing all this awesome FOSS09:06

sorenttx: I don't know if I'm all alone in this, but I really don't care about eucalyptus bug mail. At all. Yet I get tons of it, because ubuntu-virt is subscribed to it.09:24
sorenttx: How would you feel about a ubunt-uec team that is subscribed to all things UEC?09:25
sorenttx: That team, in turn, could be a member of ubuntu-virt (and not the other way around).09:26
ttxsoren: makes sense, maybe send mail to ubuntu-virt members to propose the disassociation ?09:26
sorenttx: The team consists of all Canonical folks and me and Rick.09:27
sorenttx: I think it's a matter of jfdi.09:28
ttxsoren: I just don't want people (if any) relying on it to get euca bugmail to be surprised by the move09:28
sorenttx: Ok, how about this:09:28
sorenttx: You create ubuntu-uec..09:28
sorenttx: ..subscribe that team to all the relevant packages (eucalyptus, euca2ools, axis2c, rampart, all the java stuff, etc.)..09:29
sorenttx: ...I'll e-mail all the members of ubuntu-virt telling them that if they really do care about UEC bug mail, they should join that other team.09:29
sorenttx: You may want to keep all the java stuff separate.09:30
ttxsoren: ubuntnu-server is already subscribed to those packages... so I don't really see the need for a ubuntu-uec team, tbh09:30
sorenttx: Oh.09:30
sorenttx: You are quite right.09:30
sorenEveryone in ubuntu-virt is already ubuntu-server members.09:31
sorenOh, but they get that bug mail differently.09:31
ttxsoren: yes, that allows them to filter... that's why I prefer to warn about the move before doing it09:31
sorenI'm just fed up to the point where I was about to leave ubuntu-virt, but I really don't want to do that. I feel very close to that team :)09:31
ttxsoren: it all boils down to the purpose of that team09:32
ttxsoren: as the bug supervisor for a number of virt packages, that puts it outside the regular ubuntu-server processes as far as bug review is concerned09:33
ttxso we discussed moving the virt packages into ubuntu-sever as well09:33
sorenIt was meant to consist of people who cared about virtualisation in Ubuntu. It was never really decided whether this membership was supposed to come with special privileges (write access to bzr branches or whatnot), or if it was just a handy way to get more bug mail.09:33
=== sabgenton_ is now known as sabgenton
ttxsoren: if everyone agrees the purpose of the team is about key virt packages and not their downstream application (UEC), then yes, your move makes sense09:36
ttxuec packages are already taken care of in ubuntu-server, so they wouldn't get lost09:36
skritelucid_interval_, YOU ROCK !   successful test after setting up with dovecot auth, thanks !09:38
lucid_interval_skrite: awesome :-)09:39
lucid_interval_skrite: now if you want to know a LOT more about postfix - check out this presentation: http://www.arschkrebs.de/slides/Postfix_Configuration_and_Administration-handout.pdf09:40
skritecool, thanks. certainly will do.09:41
lucid_interval_skrite: and if you ever want to setup a CLIENT postfix server that is allowed to relay based on a TLS certificate: check out this presentation: http://www.state-of-mind.de/assets/postfix_tls.pdf09:41

jayveeso I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 here10:44
jayveewhat's the best way to get Xen working?10:45
jayveethere isn't any xen-enabled kernel in the repo10:45
jayveeis xen considered edwardian or something?10:45
sorenjayvee: Xen is not really supported in Ubuntu. Try KVM instead.10:48
jayveeThat's what I've been using, but I'm quite unimpressed with its performance.10:48
jayveeThis copy of Ubuntu has been installing for the past 30 minutes.10:48
sorenThen you're probably not using kvm.10:49
jayveemodule kvm_amd is loaded, and /usr/bin/kvm is running10:49
jayvee-enable-kvm10:49
sorenjayvee: How are you running kvm? From a command line?10:49
jayveewithin libvirt10:50
sorenjayvee: Through libvirt?10:50
sorenjayvee: Ok.10:50
sorenjayvee: Put the output of "ps -ef | grep kvm" on pastebin10:50

jayveeThis is a desktop install, btw. It's going to be a group of NoMachine servers.10:53
sorenA desktop install? With 512 MB of RAM?10:54
sorenThat's going to be slow even on real hardware.10:54
|Mike|soren: are you from sweden btw?10:54
soren|Mike|: No.10:54
soren|Mike|: Denmark10:54
jayveesoren: http://pastebin.ca/182364910:54
|Mike|Close tho, your nick sounds pretty familair, as if i seen it before *somewhere*10:54
jayveeI shut it down and started it, so the PID changed. :)10:54
sorenjayvee: Well, any further diagnostics is unnecessary: 512 MB of RAM desktop installs will always be slow.10:55
jayveehmm, runs perfectly fast in VirtualBox10:55
jayveeI'd use ubuntu-vm-builder to deploy this stuff, except it keeps crashing.10:55
sorenjayvee: With 512 MB it runs fast in VirtualBox? Seriously?10:56
jayveeyep10:56
ttx|Mike|: soren is a famous golfer.10:56
iLLiZTNothing runs fast on 512 MB10:56
jayveeheck, I even bump it down to 256 MB once it's finished installing10:56
iLLiZTWhat's wrong with you?10:57
* soren smacks ttx around10:57
|Mike|ttx: lol10:57
iLLiZT:)10:57
ttx|Mike|: it's true !10:57
sorenjayvee: Once it's done installing is a completely different story.10:57
jayveeagreed10:57
jayveeSo you reckon it's a memory thing more than anything?10:58
sorenjayvee: At that point, you don't have a multi-GB disk image as a ramdisk.10:58
iLLiZTKVM is quite awesome anyway10:58
ttxGoogle says he is, it /must/ be true.10:58
iLLiZTI'd rather go with KVM than Xen.10:58
sorenjayvee: Oh, yeah. Totally.10:58
iLLiZTBut Virtualbox is pretty nifty if you want hosted virtualization10:58
henkjanjayvee: i'm running a Xen dom0 on debian lenny10:58
soreniLLiZT: What is "hosted virtualisation"?10:58
henkjanjayvee: with ubuntu domu's10:58
iLLiZTsoren: Virtualbox, VMware Workstation, etc.10:58
soreniLLiZT: How is that different from Xen or KVM?10:59
|Mike|eeuw.10:59
soreniLLiZT: What about KVM is not "hosted virtualisation"?10:59
sorenI've never heard that term.10:59
iLLiZTKVM is hosted virtualization as well.10:59
sorenWhat is /not/ hosted virtualisation, then?10:59
iLLiZTIt's mainly what VMware uses to describe what's not a bare-metal hypervisor.10:59
iLLiZTVMware, Citrix, Microsoft etc.10:59
sorenWhat does that even mean?10:59
FireCrotchsoren: it's a VMWare buzz-word11:00
iLLiZTA bare-metal hypervisor is virtualization without an underlying OS.11:00
FireCrotch:)11:00
iLLiZTYeah11:00
soreniLLiZT: ...which in and of itself is nonsense.11:00
iLLiZTWell, naturally they have some sort of OS11:00
sorenThere's always an OS.11:00
FireCrotchsince the hypervisor itself is the OS basically11:00
iLLiZTBut their OS is used only for virtualization.11:01
iLLiZTAnd nothing else.11:01
sorenWhat difference does that make?11:01
FireCrotchLike I said... buzzword :)11:01
iLLiZTLess overhead, and like FireCrotch says; buzzword11:01
|Mike|soren: go get em, rawwwwwwww!11:01
sorenbah11:01
jayveeAre there any virtualisation solutions that don't use disk images?11:02
jayveechroots don't count ;)11:02
iLLiZTjayvee: You could boot vms from iSCSI.11:02
sorenI'd exchange a bit of overhead for not having a /completely separate codebase/ to do virtually the exact same thing as a proper OS /any/ day.11:02
iLLiZTI don't mind using a server for just virtualization.11:02
jayveeiLLiZT: never touched iSCSI before11:03
sorenjayvee: What's the problem with disk images?11:03
jayveeoh, nothing11:03
jayveejust curious11:03
sorenWhat counts as a "disk image" in your book?11:03
jayveejust cloning a disk image at the moment, and it crossed my mind11:03
blinkizHello. Installed "redhat-cluster-suite" and now I can not boot my machine anymore. Last message at boot is "dlm: Using TCP for communications". Anyone know how to resolve this?11:03
sorenMaybe that's the right question to ask.11:03
jayveedisk image = vmdk, vdi, img, etc.11:04
sorenjayvee: Sure. KVM can use other stuff.11:04
sorenjayvee: It can use a disk, partition, lv, whatever.11:04
FireCrotchso can Virtualbox, I think11:04
jayveeI'm thinking more folder on the hard drive without a filesystem11:04
blinkizI know how to make it go away. Just boot the server with USB stick and remove all deps of redhat-cluster-suite. But heay, I want cman, clvm, nfs and stuff11:05
iLLiZTSo, anyone install 3.1.4 yet?11:05
jayveebut that would require NFS11:05
sorenjayvee: LXC.11:05
jayveebit like what some LTSP setups use, I spose11:05
iLLiZTDefault behaviours have changed a bit11:05
iLLiZTSeems promising.11:05
jayveesoren: interesting โ€” not heard of that11:05
jayveeand there's a libvirt driver11:05
sorenYes.11:05
jayveespeaking of which, I was trying to get libvirt to talk to virtualbox the other day11:06
jayveehad some error11:06
jayveehang on11:06
jayveehmm, wow, it works11:06
jayveeheh, never mind :)11:06
jayveehmm, not as good as I hoped though. doesn't support the libvirt chrome, and doesn't run headless.11:07
blinkizCurrently setting up a new virtualization environment here. One storage server and two virtualization servers. Using iSCSI with cluster LVM. have it working! Pretty cool.11:07
jayveecool, lxc looks awesome11:08
jayveeeven less vm'ish than openvz11:09
jayveedoes it use UML?11:09
jayveeactually, doesn't look like it uses separate kernels at all11:11
jayveesimilar to openvz, from what I recall11:11
blinkizjayvee, yeah, LXC is the future of openvz.11:12
jayveeI presume my kernel already supports it.11:14
blinkizjayvee, yes. You have to ask someone else how mature LXC is. Ask soren11:15
