kirklandlifeless: any reason why bzr commit doesn't use sensible-editor?01:44
lifelesskirkland: you're assuming it doesn't.01:45
lifelesskirkland: do you have EDITOR set ?01:45
kirklandlifeless: i'm pretty sure it doesn't ...01:45
kirklandlifeless: ah, but sensible-editor does one more nice thing ... it runs select-editor01:46
kirklandlifeless: such that you don't get dumbed into using nano01:46
kirklandlifeless: and sensible-editor then DTRT with EDITOR01:46
lifelesskirkland: ok, so I've checked. We don't run sensible-editor at the moment.01:46
kirklandlifeless: twould be really nice :-)01:46
lifelesshowever we do check EDITOR and BZR_EDITOR01:46
lifelesswe generally avoid depending on os-specific helpers01:47
kirklandlifeless: yeah, but all the other good debian tools use sensible-editor, if it's available01:47
lifelesskirkland: e.g. if EDITOR isn't set, we try editor, vi, pico, nano, joe01:47
lifelesskirkland: so arguably, if you have EDITOR set to something you don't want to use.... thats a bug in your config.01:47
lifelessI'll check that sensible-editor meets our needs though01:48
lifelesskirkland: we need an editor that does not return until the file is changed01:48
lifelesssensible-editor doesn't specify what it does in this regard01:49
kirklandlifeless: well, it's more that default Ubuntu uses nano01:49
lifelesskirkland: does default Ubuntu set EDITOR ?01:49
kirklandlifeless: which is fine and dandy, i guess, as we're trying to be the distro for the masses01:49
kirklandlifeless: but nano sucks so badly for non-newbie users01:49
kirklandlifeless: so we hacked sensible-editor to do something really cool in Intrepid01:50
lifelesskirkland: why doesn't default ubuntu set EDITOR to sensible-editor ?01:50
kirklandlifeless: basically, ask you to select your editor the first time01:50
kirklandlifeless: circular dependency, i think01:50
lifelesskirkland: meh, solvable01:50
kirklandlifeless: but that's a decent question01:50
kirklandlifeless: kees do you know why we don't?01:50
lifelessif $EDITOR == sensible-editor, ignore $EDITOR01:50
lifelesskirkland: specifically, man select-editor claims that EDITOR wins over SELECTED_EDITOR01:51
lifelesskirkland: *and* bzr chooses vi before nano if EDITOR is not set01:51
lifelessso it seems to me that EDITOR must be set, and set to nano.01:51
lifelesschanging it to be set to sensible-editor would seem to make this all nice and lovely - for more than just bzr01:52
kirklandlifeless: cool, let me check on that01:52
kirklandlifeless: doesn't appear we set EDITOR01:53
kirklandlifeless: i have a pending patchset for bash, i'll test and tuck that in too01:53
lifelesskirkland: ok, so to confirm:01:53
lifelessyou don't have EDITOR set01:54
lifelessand bzr is showing you nano ?01:54

maxodoes anyone here know about running ubuntu server virtually on top of windows? is this feasible/a good idea?14:22
twbRunning ANYTHING on top of Windows is likely to be a bad idea.14:23
twbAt least for production purposes.14:23
maxotwb: here's my requirements: I want to set up a server with Trac and SVN for development purposes. In-house we use .NET a lot so it would be good to have the server running as a staging server also. But I'm not sure what the best way of combining all this is?14:24
twbDrop apache2, trac and subversion directly on Windows?14:25
twbI dunno; if you're doing .NET you're probably already fucked.14:25
Jeeves_twb: :)14:26
maxoI'd like to have a linux server tho :-)14:26
twb(de Icaza's mania notwithstanding)14:26
maxo... but I don't know how :-(14:26
twbmaxo: deploying  it on real hardware will be less hassle, IMO14:26
maxoI've been using virtualbox but I don't know how well it scales in a server environment14:27
twbI'm a bit biased against virtualbox because it tries to be hand-holding desktop-in-desktop GUI wank, and I'm only interested in command-line server-in-server roles.14:27
twbThat and the bits Sun wrote after they bough vbox tend to be non-Free software14:28
elb0wmaxo I have done it14:28
maxo I don't know though whether it can all be automated. Like at the moment I have to start it up, click a start button to start the system etc.14:28
maxoelb0w: how did you do it?14:28
elb0wusing sun virtual box14:28
elb0wbut since it was small I ended up buying a netbook and loading it14:29
elb0wI didnt like sharing the resources14:29
twbmaxo: well, if vbox is running on Windows, you'd have to ask ##windows about how to automate it14:29
maxoI've got ubuntu server running on vbox on my windows desktop machine and it runs fairly nicely. but a server is a different matter I would have thought14:29
elb0wwhy?14:29
elb0wDepends on the load14:29
elb0wYou tell the vbox how much resources you are going to give it14:30
elb0wIt wont go over that14:30
twbWell, you don't care about tunnellling AIGLX to the guest OS with a server14:30
twb(Stupid compiz users...)14:30
maxobut I mean in terms of automation. and also port forwarding is a bit of a concern14:30
elb0whey compiz-fusion + beryl gives nice effect :o14:30
twbmaxo: just set it up in bridged mode.14:30
twbelb0w: I really *REALLY* don't care.14:30
elb0whahaha14:30
twbif you want nice effects, go drop some acid and stop hogging the cycles14:31
maxotwb: but what if I send a request for port 80 to the host system (windows) - how does it know whether to connect to a process listening on port 80 in windows or the ubuntu guest in vbox?14:31
twbmaxo: just set up a network bridge14:32
twbmaxo: then your VM will present itself (mostly) as a separate host, at the IP layer.14:32
twb(Obviously it's not separate at the 802.3 layer)14:33
elb0whey twb have you played with the UEC?14:33
twbNope14:33
elb0wk14:34
maxowhat about kvm or xen? I'm looking at them and they look a bit more enterprise-seriousy than vbox?14:34
twbDepending on whether you want zones or full emulation, I would recommend either LXC or KVM.14:34
twbI am right-royally sick of OpenVZ and Xen for zones.14:35
maxowhat are zones vs. full emulation?14:36
twbA zone/jail is where some resources, particularly the kernel, are shared with the host OS.14:36
twbAs a cute example, I can run dhclient3 in a jail that has its own networking stack and process table, but shares the filesystem with the host OS.14:38
twbBut more practically, you'd often use zones to give idiot PHP coders their own sandboxes in which to break their own copies of apache, without breaking those in the other sandboxes.14:38
elb0wyou mean php scripters14:40
twbWhatever14:40
elb0whaha14:40
elb0wphp is so messy, I dont get how people use it14:41
twbAnyone that thinks HTTP is a better transport than NeWS for thin clients.14:41

elb0wok im so confused at this point. I brought down all my nodes on my cloud and the instance is still up14:41

ghostlineshi all, i'm trying to understand what's an acceptable label string for amanda backup, the config file says DailySet1[0-9][0-9]*$   I don't understand what *$ means14:43
elb0wthat they still enforce IE14:43
elb0wmy old job my boss got reemed out by IT for using firefox14:43
maxotwb: does kvm support full bridging as well? because I'm looking at its documentation now and it seems to say that you can give a virtual os an IP address, but you can only connect to that IP from the host system. but the instructions all seem rather dense, I'm getting worried how difficult this might be to set up!14:48
twbmaxo: kvm does, but it's a pain in the arse14:48
maxoI'm feeling a bit stuck then - I want to set up Trac and SVN on ubuntu with the beauty of a couple of apt commands, but I also want access to a windows environment for asp.net. hmmm14:49
Jeeves_maxo: Just drop your second requirement :)14:51
maxoJeeves_: that would make things easier. but our development is predominantly on .NET14:52
Jeeves_maxo: Why? :)14:52
maxothat was how it was set up when I started the job. and actually, coming from an open-source background, I've kinda been won over by it14:53
maxothere's a huge amount of in-house code on .net14:53
sherrmaxo: VirtualBox works well - use it to host Ubuntu - at least test/try. It will be fine.14:54
twbsherr: in what way is it better than every other virtualization solution?14:55
twbsherr: or have you just tried one, and are spouting subjective fanboyism?14:55

jasonmchristosread i mean16:05
sherrI think md raid1 or raid5 is a good idea - put LVM on top.16:06
pmatulisjasonmchristos: no, not from installation (although that would be a good thing to have)16:06
ninjixsherr: agreed16:06
pmatulisjasonmchristos: boot with live cd and configure manually16:06
sherrBut I know LVM does mirroring - just never used it. My worry would be that it is not redundant like MD "mirroring" (raid1). But I might be wrong.16:07
pmatulisjasonmchristos: multi-sided mirroring is special16:07
gregcoitis it true that jaunty server support ends in October 2010?16:07
jasonmchristospmatulis: special , how so?16:07
pmatulissherr: what do you mean?  mirroring is mirroring16:07
pmatulisjasonmchristos: normal mirror is 2 sided.  with lvm you can have more than that16:08
jasonmchristosthats what i thought mirroring implies redundancy16:08
jasonmchristospmatulis: well since its not a default option i am going to have to experiment, for now im just using 1 hd i already have the server setup and am trying to get it to serve my printer16:09

gregcoitie: non-server, non-lts support is 1.5 years - are ubuntu serves the same?16:11
jasonmchristosdoes anyone know a good tut to help me configur my cups srver16:12
alvinjasonmchristos: Yes, use tasksel to install cups, and see the CUPS Administration guide on cups.org. The ubuntu-server guide is also possible, but covers only very little and only points you to the cups web interface.16:14
jasonmchristosyeah im on the ubuntu one i added the ort but it doesnt seem to be serving with just that change16:15
jasonmchristosthanks guys although i had to just give it acess i think i will make my print server a seperate box in the near future16:47
djveerHey guys, i'm trying to run a shell script I created based off of ... https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/backup-shellscripts.html   the simple shell script on that page.. didn't change anything other than the backup destination and a few entries to the backup locations. However when I try to run the script with 'sudo bash backup.sh', it gives me ":command not found:" a bunch of times and doesn't seem to run anything.16:49
djveerWhat am I missing?16:49

kindjalIs there any reason to expect a Ubuntu 9.10 netboot install to be different than the ISO install?  Specifically of Ubuntu Enterprise Cluster (UEC)?18:22
kindjalThe netboot install does not offer an "Install Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud" option, you don't get that until you specify install packages (tasksel)... and then you have an UEC (instance) option, a cluster option, and a node option.  Do these differ from the ISO install?18:23

dassoukii have ubuntu server installed; i installed sun's 6 java/jdk19:04
dassoukiI still get a java_home error19:04
dassoukiso in etc/profile i added export path=$path:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16/bin/19:04
dassoukiand i still get the error that java_home is improperly set19:05
dassoukiany ideas on how to trouble shoot this problem ?19:07
wack479hello, i am working with mdadm and was able to create raid, and copy files, but after restart the partition on the raided drives had been deleted, and the raid array was gone. Any ideas what is going on?19:08
Infra-reddassouki: Not sure about JAVA, but shouldn't the path be all capatlized?19:09
Infra-redie PATH=$PATH:....19:10
wack479anyone?19:13
cemcwack479: you mean you don't have /dev/mdX ?19:14
dassoukiInfra-red: it is in the file19:15
Infra-reddunno then... don't do much with Java.  Google might have some help.  First link I found talks about setting up several environment variables and not just your path.19:20

wack479cemc: yes /dev/md0 no longer exists, and when i "fdisk -l" it says19:24
wack479cemc: "Disk /dev/sd*  doesnt containt a valid partition table"19:24
wack479cemc: but partitions were there b4 the reboot19:25
cemcstange19:25
cemcyou sure about that? :)19:25
wack479cemc: yeah, i had been working on it for a while, b/c i had some issues getting it to work, and it ended up being a software glitching with mdadm, the raid was working and mounted19:26
wack479cemc: even did some rsycn backups to the array19:26
sherrwack479: /proc/mdstat <-- first port of call for MD trouble19:26
sherrThen syslog etc.19:26
wack479hey again sherr!19:26
sherrMaybe /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf19:27
wack479mdadm.conf is empty19:27
sherrHey - Should be some indication of the problem somewhere ... :-)19:27
wack479agreed!19:27
cemcwack479: you had autoraid partitions defined on sda, sdb etc?19:28
wack479cemc: yep19:28
cemcwack479: then you mdadm --create ? the mkfs, and mount ?19:28
wack479cemc: yes mkfs ext419:28
wack479i believe19:28
wack479yes it was ext419:29
cemcyou sure you created partitions on sda, sdb etc, and not used the whole disk in --create'ing ?19:29
wack479yes, did it separate using fdisk19:29
cemcthose disks are real disks or some external storage or something else, could've they "disappeared" somehow? or did you active some hardware raid after reboot or something?19:30
wack479created partition, then changed type etc19:30
cemcdid they get reinitialized maybe, I dunno, just guessing19:30
wack479no they are actual drives, and i can seem them from here19:33
wack479no didnt change anything in the bios19:33
wack479thats whats so weird19:34

wack479yes, and yes lol19:36
cellZeroAnyone know of good *nix network monitoring and analysis tools?19:36
cemcwack479: weeeelll... I would probably try to recreate the partitions with the exact same parameters as before, on one disk, and i would try to assemble the array in degraded mode (i'm guessing it's a raid1)19:41
wack479its raid 5 actually19:42
