zagabar_Hello.02:33
zagabar_I have an ubuntu server and I recently got vnstat. Then I saw that my server is like constantly sending data. Approx 200 mb per hour is transmitted. Almost nothing is reiceved. I have no idea what this transmission is. How can I check it? It is a command line only serve.r02:34
CBebopI have an issue with Lighttpd not being able to use port 8002:37
CBebopsaying it is in use02:37
CBebopbut I have no processes using port 80 and I cant find why it would be in use02:37
lamontkirkland: interesting - 'twould appear that the issue was windoze vs self02:37
CBeboponly happened after a reboot, used to work just fine, I am using Ubuntu Server 10.0402:37
jeffesquivelzagabar_, iptraf ?02:38
CBebopI dont have a lot of experience with this, but lighttpd is set up correctly as far as I know, and works fine if i specify a different port like 8102:38
pmatulisCBebop: so something else may be bound to port 80, please investigate02:40
jeffesquivelCBebop, can you try doing telnet localhost 80  on a terminal on your server?02:41
CBebopnetstat -lntp showed nothing bound to port 80 is why I came here, I coulndt find much online but I most likely wasnt using the right words02:42
jeffesquivelCBebop, how about telnet localhost 80 ?02:43
CBebopconnection refused02:44
jeffesquivelCBebop, hmm... do you have the error message provided by lighthttpd?02:45
CBebopone sec02:45
CBebopjeffesquivel: 2010-03-28 20:45:44: (network.c.345) can't bind to port: :: 80 Address already in use02:46
jeffesquivelCBebop, really strange02:49
CBebopI know =/02:49
jeffesquivelCBebop, what about lsof -i :80 ?02:49
CBebopWoa02:50
CBeboprtorrent 1369 cbebop  146u  IPv4  24225      0t0  TCP 192.168.1.141:56440->180.190.169.26:www (ESTABLISHED)02:50
CBebopThat shouldnt be using that port at all02:50
CBebopI wrote the config file myself02:50
CBebopKilled rtorrent, re-ran the lsof command with no response and still port 80 lock from lighttpd startting02:52
jeffesquivelCBebop, yep, that seemed like an a connection to a remote 80 port02:52
jeffesquivelnot the local one02:52
CBebopAhh02:52
FireCrotch_CBebop: are you sure you don02:53
CBebopThat would make sense, a tracker connection02:53
FireCrotch_'t have a rogue apache or something?02:53
CBebopApache shouldnt be running, I disabled it on start (Ubuntu installed it when i upgraded from 9.04)02:53
CBebopits not in the process list at all02:53
jeffesquivelCBebop, could it be that you have the port used but on ipv6?02:54
CBebopMaybe, inadvertantly02:54
CBeboplet me double check for ipv6 stuff in lighttpd02:55
jeffesquivelCBebop, I just read that lighthttpd first binds to port 80 on ipv4 and then on ipv6 addresses02:55
jeffesquivelCBebop, it may bind correctly on the first and then fail on the other one... and the error is the same02:55
CBebopI removed ipv6 from the config file and it started fine from the init.d script. I wonder why it just suddenly broke. Must have been an update to ligttpd that I missed.02:57
jeffesquivelCBebop, so it is working now/02:57
jeffesquivel?02:57
CBebopI should pay closer attention. THank you very much for your help jeffesquivel and FireCrotch_02:57
CBebopYeah02:57
CBebopBinds ipv4 just fine02:57

Sam-I-Amhmmm04:14
Sam-I-Amanyone here notice ldap is STILL broken in lucid?04:14
Sam-I-Amglad to see no ones bothered to fix that in oh... 7 months since i reported the bug04:15
twbIsn't that because it's an important bug?04:15
Sam-I-Amyeah thats why it gets ignored :)04:15
twbWhereas some gnome icon being misaligned by 2px gets priority #104:15
Sam-I-Ambut i bet if there was a problem with EC it'd get some attention04:15
twbHa04:15
Sam-I-Amno offense, but this being an LTS release you'd think people would want to fix these server-related bugs04:16
Sam-I-Amglad i'm not the only one who feels this way04:16
Sam-I-Amtold my ubuntu lucid box to use ldap and now i'm locked out04:16
Sam-I-Amoh, and i cant even get into grub anymore because someone broke that too04:16
twbI'm only using Ubuntu because 1) apparently, the customers ask for it by name; and 2) it's still better than CentOS.04:16
Sam-I-Amso i had to boot off the damn CD04:16
Sam-I-Amwell, hardy LTS was pretty damn solid04:16
Sam-I-Amhad to backport a few things, but the general stuff worked04:17
Sam-I-Amoh, apparently i dont get to see what happens when my machine boots anymore... instead i get some splash screen which runs at what feels like 9600 baud on a framebuffer device :/04:18
twbThere's apparently this "plymouth" crap that tries to start X during boot or something04:19
Sam-I-Amyep04:20
Sam-I-Ami tried removing it... and bad things happened04:20
Sam-I-Amnone of the standard methods i know to turn my console back to 80x25 acually work04:20
Sam-I-Ameither it gets ignored or it doesnt boot04:20
twbOh, because it's loading vga16fb04:22
twbI had that problem, too.  In the end I removed the video card and used serial04:22
twbIt's REALLY annoying, because on my hardware all it does is switch from an 80x25 I can read to an 80x30 I can't.04:23

uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 423252 in sudo "NSS using LDAP on Karmic breaks 'su' and 'sudo'" [Unknown,Confirmed]04:25
Sam-I-Amtheres my bug... reported before karmic was released04:25
twbSam-I-Am: use "files ldap" not "ldap compat".04:26
twbSam-I-Am: does the problem magically go away?04:26
Sam-I-Amtwb: ldap needs to be first...04:29
twbSam-I-Am: why?04:29
Sam-I-Amso root can be in ldap04:29
twbOh, I missed that point.04:29
Sam-I-Amyeah, security policy says centrally managed root accounts... except for an 'emergency' password04:29
twbI'm amazed that *ever* worked04:30
Sam-I-Amwasnt a problem until karmic04:30
Sam-I-Amand even then i can log in as root fine, its just none of my users can use sudo or su04:31
twbHave you taken this upstream, to Debian?04:31
Sam-I-Amso if you dont enable your root account in ubuntu before configuring ldap, you lock yourself out04:31
Sam-I-Amdebian doesnt seem broken04:31
twbOK, so what is different between Debian and Ubuntu wrt. nss or sudo?04:32
Sam-I-Ami... wish i knew04:32
twbYou can find out from the PTS pages04:32
Sam-I-Ambest i can tell this is a regression problem with whatever version of glibc ubuntu uses04:32
twbe.g. http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/sudo.html04:32
Sam-I-Amyeah, i dont think this is sudo specific04:32
twbAt the bottom of the page is an "ubuntu" section with a link to the diffs04:32
twbSam-I-Am: so check nss the same way04:33
Sam-I-Amsince the error message comes out of the kernel04:33
Sam-I-Amor something deep within04:33
twbWhere's the kernel message there?04:33
Sam-I-Amthis thing...04:34
Sam-I-Amsetreuid(ROOT_UID, user_uid): Operation not permitted04:34
Sam-I-Amis something very deep in the OS04:34
Sam-I-Amsince su gets the same error04:34
twbUm, that's not a kernel message (as in printk/dmesg)04:34
Sam-I-Amso not really kernel, but definitely base libraries04:34
Sam-I-Amyeh04:35
twbsetreuid(2) is a system call04:35
Sam-I-Amyeah, thats what i meant04:35
Sam-I-Amso anything that uses it gets bonked04:35
Sam-I-Amwhich is why i dont think its specifically sudo or su related04:35
twbIs the UID of the root account in LDAP 0?04:36
Sam-I-Amyes04:36
Sam-I-Amand right now i dont even have a root account in ldap04:36
Sam-I-Amfor testing04:36
twbThen I'd say you need to investigate pam, nss and/or libc.04:36
Sam-I-Ami'm trying to get libnss-ldapd working here04:37
Sam-I-Amwhich might eliminate nss04:37
twbnss will still be needed, but if it works then you know the fault is in libnss-ldap04:37
Sam-I-Amof course, i kinda hoped someone with a bit more experience than me with the ubuntu internals would have looked at this bug04:37
twbYou could also try #openldap for ideas04:37
Sam-I-Amsince it effectively renders lucid DOA for anyone with enterprise/centralized auth04:37
twbWell, here we do not put root in ldap, because that would be stupid.04:38
Sam-I-Amwhy?04:38
twbIt would mean that a network failure would turn into a boot failure04:38
Sam-I-Amit should use the local account if ldap fails04:38
Sam-I-Amthats how it works here04:38
twbSo you have *two* accounts with UID=0?04:39
Sam-I-Amyep04:39
twbSuggest you look at sash, which does something similar, but strictly within the flat files04:39
twbSee if it is broken, maybe04:40
Sam-I-Amwell, right now i have no root account in ldap04:40
Sam-I-Amso theres only the local account04:40
twbBut yeah, the way I would do it would not be to have a root account with a password in LDAP, but rather to use ssh keys everywhere, with puppet to add/remove keys from /root/.ssh/authorized_keys04:40
twbSam-I-Am: is nscd installed?  If so, it might be caching the LDAP account04:41
Psi-Jack-puppet?04:41
Sam-I-Amnot using nscd04:41
Sam-I-Amit causes other problems in general04:41
twbSam-I-Am: nod.04:41
twbPsi-Jack-: cfengine NIHd by ruby wankers04:42
Sam-I-Amalthough people have reported its a 'workaround'04:42
twbSam-I-Am: I think they're on acid04:42
twbInstalling nscd should BREAK things, not fix them.04:42
Sam-I-Amyep04:42
twbI suspect more likely is that they installed nscd and then broke it, but nscd kept it working for a little while04:42
Sam-I-Ammeh04:48
twbSam-I-Am: let me know if you figure it out04:52
twbI'll probably be migrating to 10.04 in about three years :-/04:52

Sam-I-Amapparently there is a debian bug for this...04:56

osmosiswhy does the lucid installer, when creating a software raid, create a separate /boot that is not on the raid?05:53
twbosmosis: there's a guided install option for software raid now?05:55
osmosistwb, not part of guided partitioning, but it does have it in the installer without having to drop to the CLI. Its part of the "manual partitioning" option.05:55
twbUm, manual partitioning is manual.05:56
twbIt shouldn't be doing anything you don't tell it to05:56
osmosistwb, yah i see. it was guided LVM. not raid.06:10
twbosmosis: the bottom line is that bootloaders historically have trouble with LVM and md RAID (except RAID1).06:12
twbEven now, it is flaky to do it.06:12

RoyKCromulent, then what is it, really? I don't get it...10:57
twbRoyK: it's a way to rent time on big iron, like you used to do back in the 60s.  The only difference is that now it's an HPC cluster instead of an actual big iron.10:58
twbRoyK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing10:59
RoyKwell, it sounds like virtualisation to me10:59
RoyKI've read that10:59
twbRoyK: it leverages virtualization, but for a different goal.11:00
twbIf you have one server and one VM, it would be meaningless to deploy cloud infrastructure.11:00
twbThe point of cloud computing is when you have >>1 hardware node and >>1 VM.11:01
RoyKwell, of course :)11:01
RoyKI was just thinking if cloud in-house computing could be a neat replacement for something like XenServer11:02
RoyKwe have like five machines with 30 VMs11:02

Cromulentits just removing the setup from the application developer and putting it in the OS developers hands / cloud layer developers hands11:11
Cromulentthat is why you have technologies such as OpenMP11:11
Cromulentor MPI rather11:11
maxagazwhat does the last '2' means in fstab: "/dev/sdb1 /mnt/extra ext3 defaults 0 2" ?11:12
* RoyK throws maxagaz a "man fstab"11:13
RoyKhm. ic. is it possible to have redundant cloud controllers as well?11:18
Cromulentprobably - I don't run my own cloud though so you'll be best off waiting for someone else to confirm - it would seem like a large oversight to not allow them though if you ask me11:21
nucc1how can i set my server's hostname permanently?11:33
jeffesquivelnucc1, change it on /etc/hostname then on /etc/hosts then $ sudo hostname new_hostname11:38
vishalbelsareI have a question regarding EBS. If I have use a Ubuntu EBS Boot AMI, i.e. the root disk is EBS based, do I incur the IO charges for EBS just for using that instance too? or is this applicable only to EBS volumes mounted on a running instance?11:39

jeffesquivelnucc1, no problem11:50
bronto2i think i somehow unistalled part of ssh server, cant connect to the remote machine, any solutions other than calling the main admin?12:09
jeffesquivelbronto2, do you have any other remote access service (telnet, vnc, etc.) ?12:10
bronto2jeffesquivel, is there something thats enabled by default on ubuntu-server? (only ftp is working)12:11
jeffesquivelbronto2, don't think so12:11
nucc1jeffesquivel, are you familiar with postfix?12:11
jeffesquivelbronto2, are you sure you messed up your ssh? or could it be that your current ip is being blocked by something like fail2ban or denyhosts?12:11
bronto2ok, now if i have to mail the main admin, what is the command to reinstall the entire ssh thingy?12:12
jeffesquivelnucc1, it has been a long time since I had to admin a postfix server12:12
jeffesquivelnucc1, why?12:12
bronto2jeffesquivel, i belive its ssh proble, this is intranet12:12
nucc1jeffesquivel, my problem may be in postfix, or it may be dns. let me explain.12:12
bronto2*problem12:12
jeffesquivelbronto2, ok then12:13
nucc1jeffesquivel, i have a domain hosted on a shared hosting platform, and a linode node to which there is an A-record pointing to a web app running there.12:13
bronto2sudo apt-get remove ssh && sudo apt-get install ssh should fox things?12:13
bronto2*fix12:13
nucc1jeffesquivel, the problem is this: when the linode instance tries to send a message to addresses on the shared-hosted domain, it gets rejected with "sender verification failed"12:14
nucc1jeffesquivel, would it help if i told you the domain and subdomain?12:14
jeffesquivelbronto2, you can try sudo apt-get --reinstall install ssh12:15
bronto2jeffesquivel, thanks12:16
jeffesquivelbronto2, no problem12:16
jeffesquivelnucc1, any more information on what type of verification?12:16
nucc1sender verification12:17
nucc1i can paste the log12:17
jeffesquivelnucc1, I mean, IIRC there are several methods to do sender verification12:17
jeffesquivelnucc1, ok12:17
nucc1jeffesquivel, lemme pm you the link12:18
jeffesquivelnucc1, hmm... let me see if I understand correctly12:22
jeffesquivelnucc1, you have a web app installed on the same server as your postfix12:22
nucc1yes.12:22
jeffesquivelnucc1, and you want your webapp to be able to send e-mail msgs12:22
nucc1it sends the messages alright.12:23
nucc1jeffesquivel, the setup is like this12:23
nucc1the main website is on domain.com12:23
nucc1the webapp is on a linode virtual server: node.domain.com12:23
nucc1when the web app tries to send email to an address@domain.com , the email gets rejected12:23
nucc1jeffesquivel, for the reason in the log.12:24
nucc1jeffesquivel, other email servers seem to work fine. i've tested Yahoo and Gmail.12:24
jeffesquivelnucc1, I see...12:25
jeffesquivelnucc1, well the error message you are receiving (550) usually means that the user you are trying to send mail to doesn't exist (at least not on that domain)12:26
nucc1jeffesquivel, i think it says that the user I am sending the mail as cannot be verified12:26
nucc1and for the life of me, i don't know how to make my postfix instance reply acknowledge the verification requests12:27
jeffesquivelnucc1, well... you see the part where it says: "550 Sender verify failed (in reply to RCPT TO command"12:27
jeffesquivelRCPT TO is the SMTP command which defines the recipient not the sender12:28
jeffesquivelnucc1, you're getting bounced when you specify when you want to send the message to not when you say who you want to send it as12:28
merlijn-quick question, for how long will the 9.10 server release be supported?12:29
nucc1merlijn-, 18 months, i guess12:29
jeffesquivels/when you want/who you want/12:29
merlijn-18 months? desktop even gets 2 years12:29
nucc1merlijn-, lts releases are the ones that get 2 years.12:30
nucc1merlijn-, that is, 8.04, 10.0412:30
merlijn-lts server get 5 years12:30
merlijn-I found that here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/12:30
nucc1jeffesquivel, is it possible that the domain.com mail server rejects the email with a false message? cos the addresses exist.12:31
nucc1i just sent my gmail address an email with the same postfix config.12:31
nucc1jeffesquivel, also, i get confused where it says "status verification failed for root@..." cos that is the user I am sending the email as12:33
nucc1merlijn-, lts releases get 5 years, non-lts releases get 18 months.12:34
jeffesquivelnucc1, hmm... I just read a little bit more about that error message12:36
jeffesquivelnucc1, it is also used to deny relay access12:36
nucc1jeffesquivel, i don't know why it tries to relay...12:37
jeffesquivelnucc1, which means, the machine your sending the mail to thinks you want to use it as a relay server and is bouncing you12:37
nucc1jeffesquivel, is what you read on the net?12:37
jeffesquivelnucc1, yes...12:37
nucc1where's the link?12:38
nucc1jeffesquivel, does that mean that i'm effectively hopeless?12:38
jeffesquivelnucc1, http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1593hq.html12:39
jeffesquivelnucc1, don't think so... gimme a sec12:39
jeffesquivelnucc1,12:43
jeffesquivelI just tried to do the same thing your server is doing but manually (telnet to port 25)12:43
nucc1yea12:43
jeffesquivelthis is the message I get12:43
jeffesquivel550-Message rejected because (vertex.tellantservices.com) [201.191.183.183] is12:43
jeffesquivel550 blacklisted.12:43
nucc1whew!12:43
jeffesquivelbut now, that's my IP12:43
jeffesquivelyou should try from your server to see if that's the case for your IP too12:43
jeffesquivelmost probably, it is12:44
nucc1jeffesquivel, vertex.tellantservices.com is not 201.191.183.183 !12:44
jeffesquivelnucc1, I know...12:45
jeffesquivelnucc1, that's why I told you that you should try from your server12:45
jeffesquivelnucc1, most probably your server's ip is blacklisted too12:46
nucc1hey, how do i specify recipienet address?12:46
jeffesquivelRCTP TO:12:47
jeffesquivelnucc1, http://www.earthinfo.org/example-smtp-conversation/12:47
nucc1lol. too many unrecognized commands. connection closed... lemme google for a quick tutorial :d12:47
nucc1jeffesquivel, here's what it told me: rcpt to: fanen.ahua@tellantservices.com 550-verification failed for <fanen@vertex.tellantservices.com>12:50
nucc1no such user here. sender verify failed.12:51
jeffesquivelnucc1, well.. good news, you're not blacklisted... it's just me :-)12:51
nucc1jeffesquivel, i'd have been puzzled, cos its a relatively fresh install :d12:51
nucc1with a new IP :d12:52
nucc1jeffesquivel, the message is quite confusing though. it says 550-verification failed for fanen@vertex.tellantservices.com12:53
nucc1which to me means that vertex.tellantservices.com did not acknowledge that it knew such a user12:53
jeffesquivelnucc1, did you used fanen@vertex... as your MAIL FROM:  ?12:54
nucc1jeffesquivel, yes.12:54
jeffesquivelnucc1, what happens if you use a different domain on your MAIL FROM:?12:55
nucc1jeffesquivel, let me use the main domain now.12:55
jeffesquivelI mean something which doesn't has tellantservices.com in it12:55
nucc1ha ha. ok. tellantservices.com just told me 451 temporary local problem... please try later12:56
nucc1jeffesquivel, it says 550 currently not permitted to relay through this server12:58
jeffesquivelnucc1, really weird... you changed just the MAIL FROM not the RCTP TO, right?12:58
nucc1jeffesquivel, yeap12:59
nucc1wonder why it doesn't say that for tellantservices.com domains.12:59
nucc1i mean vertex.tellantservices.com12:59
nucc1and since it's a shared host, our options seem quite limited12:59
jeffesquivelnucc1, the weird thing is that tellantservices.com shouldn't be trying to relay anything when receiving mail to @tellantservices.com addresses13:00
nucc1so it's a craptastic mail config on a shared host. explains why some people despise shared hosts...13:00
nucc1and leaves me unable to explain why stuff isn't working.13:00
nucc1:(13:01
jeffesquivelnucc1, yeah, I don't like not being able to understand stuff... he hehe13:01
jeffesquivelnucc1, hmm... let me try something from a different IP... gimme a sec13:02
nucc1ok. i'm here :)13:02
jeffesquivelnucc1, so I guess you have previously send an e-mail to fanen.ahua@tellantservices.com from some other service and it works ok, right?13:08
jeffesquivelactually, I should be able to try that13:09
jeffesquivelnucc1, yep... just as I thought13:10
jeffesquivelnucc1, tellantservices.com is misconfigured13:10
nucc1jeffesquivel, that is my actual email, which works.13:10
jeffesquivelnucc1, I cannot send e-mail to it even from my regular gmail account13:10
jeffesquivelnucc1, I just tried to send a message and it bounced me with the same message we are getting13:11
nucc1jeffesquivel, hmmm. maybe i should propose we close that account. use google apps for email, and host the website on linode altogether.13:12
nucc1oh boy.13:12
jeffesquivelnucc1, sounds like a good idea... he he13:13
jeffesquivelnucc1, did you tried to send an e-mail to that account from another account? did it worked?13:15
jeffesquivelnucc1, anyway, back to your original problem... I think it may be possible that tellantservices.com thinks it is also the mail server for vertex.tellantservices.com (don't know if that's even possible, I'm just guessing)13:19
nucc1jeffesquivel, we've been using it as office email,13:19
nucc1jeffesquivel, yes, i suspect that. but there's no way to fix that...13:19
nucc1that i can think of :(13:19
nucc1i'm actually looking at the pricing for google mail now13:20
jeffesquivelnucc1, yep... agree with you on that one13:20
nucc1jeffesquivel, googleapps wants to sell you the whole shebang for $50/user/year. which is just overkill.13:21
jeffesquivelnucc1, but it is free if you have less than 50 users13:21
nucc1jeffesquivel, it doesn't say so. i know it used to be that way.13:22
jeffesquivelnucc1, gimme a sec13:24
nucc1jeffesquivel, i really appreciate your time and assistance13:25
jeffesquivelnucc1, http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/group/index.html13:25
jeffesquivelnucc1, I think that's the link to the standard edition which should still be free13:26
nucc1it was only showing me the business page :)13:26
nucc1yes, seems to.13:29
nucc1i'll recommend a move in the next meeting.13:29

tyskahello guys14:30
tyskasomeone who uses UEC is online?14:30
ttxtyska: yes14:53
tyskattx: how can i assign a real ip address to a vm instance of my cloud? is this possible?14:55
uvirtbotNew bug: #548883 in samba (main) "package samba-common 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/54888314:57
ttxtyska: define "real IP address"15:01
ttxtyska: public IPs are assigned through VNET_PLUBLICIPS in eucalyptus.conf15:01
ttxI mean, VNET_PUBLICIPS15:02
tyskattx: i need a IP that is reachable from any computer in the Internet, and not just the computers on the subnet of a LAN15:04
tyskattx: did you understand?15:04
ttxtyska: the CC will assign public IP addresses from its public-facing network interface. If that is connected directly to the Internet, then it will serve reachable addresses...15:06
ttxOtherwise you'll have to do some NAT15:06
ttxso that the address from the VM can be reached through another one15:07
tyskaand with nat i just put the NAT rules on the CC right?15:08
RoyKcan I mix amd and intel machines in a cloud, possibly at different speeds, and the cloud will balance it all as best as it can?15:09
ttxRoyK: by cloud you mean... UEC ? EC2 ?15:10
ttxtyska: again, depends on where you put your CC. The machine doing NAT needs to be reachable15:10
RoyKuec - that is - I thought they were the same15:10
tyskayes, understand15:11
ttxRoyK: you can mix, however, eucalyptus counts in "cpus", it does not look into how fast they go15:11
RoyKok, so tossing in an old P4 1,8 might be disasterous ;)15:12
ttxRoyK: so if you have a very slow quad-core and a very-fast 8-core, it will still see 12 "cpus"15:12
ttxRoyK: I think so, haven't tried :)15:12
RoyKic15:12
FF666hi15:12
FF666is this the chanel for ubuntu eucaliptus?15:13
edmooregreetings. I hope this question does not stretch the scope of this channel too much: We've a bunch of old boxes lying around for our small research group - a webserver, a fileserver, email, some other bits and bobs. Someone advised me to consolidate them all into a bunch of virtual machines on a single box, and that seems to be The Done Thing (tm) nowadays. But I don't understand why, for our needs, just running each of those things natively di15:13
edmooreon a single ubuntu server wouldn't be a better idea?15:13
ttxFF666: yes, there is also #ubuntu-cloud, but here is alright15:13
FF666ok15:13
ttxedmoore: segmenting is good, so that an upgrade of one doesn't kill the other.15:14
ttxedmoore: but in the end it's a question of how much resource you can throw at it15:14
ttxsince running them in multiple VMs will use more resources15:15
RoyKwhat sort of storage do you guys use for eucaliptus?15:15
edmoorewe might be able to stretch to a new dell r710 with a couple of xeons and maybe 12GB of ram. It'll have a long upgrade path hopefully.15:15
ttxedmoore: VMs have another advantage, you can move them around15:15
edmooreso I guess the real advice is: unless you actually should virtualise (eg our actual number crunching machines), then you should really consider virtualising?15:16
edmooresorry typo: unless you actually *shouldn't* virtualise, you should15:16
ttxedmoore: I'd say that, yes (but I'm biased)15:17
RoyKis virtualising number crunching machines really a good idea?15:17
RoyKI mean, is the overhead so low it makes sense?15:17
edmooreRoyK: that was a typo, i meant to say unless you actually *shouldn't* (eg our crunching machines), you should15:17
RoyKheh15:18
* RoyK has no plans on virtualising the number crunching machines here15:18

edmooreok that's sound advice, thank you very much.15:19
FF666is there any site where I can download an image of ubuntu server with eucaliptus installed?15:22
ttxFF666: not that I know of. Esepcially as it requires at least two machines at this point.15:25
ttxFF666: however installing it from 10.04 beta 1 ISO is not very difficult.15:25
FF666ttx:??, I'll use a virtual machine, so the number of computers is not a problem15:26
FF666I want to know if there is a site where I can find images of ubuntu, like vwmare images15:27
ttxFF666: well, running a virtualization node inside a VM will be... problematic. virt-in-virt isn't working so well.15:28
ttxFF666: you want an Ubuntu server image ? Or an Ubuntu-Server-preinstalled-with-Eucalyptus image ?15:28

mdeslaursmoser: so, does kvm support OVF?15:37

smoserit would be supported more at libvirt or virt-convert level15:37
mdeslaursmoser: oh, is ovf just a description file? I thought it had the disk image also?15:38
smoseryeah, wouldn't that be easy :)15:38
smoserovf is a description file.15:38
smoserand it does define the type of each disk image that is present in the OVA (archive file)15:39
smoserbut makes no restrictions on what that type is15:39
mdeslauroh, I see15:39
smoseryeah.15:39
smoserso the end goal of "heres the ovf, it can be run on any hypervisor"15:40

=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
elb0wso16:04
elb0wI always pictured  a clouds (I know the term is overused) purpose was that if something goes down something else picks up the slack16:05
elb0wIs all the UEC is meant to do is spawn VM's?16:05
ttxelb0w: cloud computing is really "utility computing", power at your fingertips. That doesn't imply redundancy. That's what clusters do. However, redundancy so that the VMs you started actually are guaranteed to run is a welcome addition.16:07
elb0wso UEC is not HA then I take it16:07
ttxelb0w: foer example, Amazon EC2 reserves the right to terminate an instance of yours anytime (last time I read the fineprint)16:07

jeffesquivelhi, I want to start learning about virtualization on Ubuntu Server, any ideas of what a reasonable hardware platform for testing would be?18:05
RoyK^jeffesquivel: the tutorial is quite clear about that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/PackageInstall18:07
RoyK^that's for cloud, though. if you plan to setup a vm or two with virtualbox or something, you don't need that amount of iron18:08
RoyK^brb18:08
sherrjeffesquivel: virtualisation or UEC cloud? You can test virt. on a laptop18:09
jeffesquivelRoyK^, I don't want to get into cloud just yet... I was thinking more like a ubuntu hypervisor (is that the correct term?) running on a server with probably two or three VMs running concurrently18:09
jeffesquivelsherr, virtualization18:10
jeffesquivelsherr, so is it ok for me to just buy the cheapest VT-enabled CPU and just use that?18:11
jeffesquivelI'm asking because I thought maybe the cheapest CPUs don't have some feature which would be nice to include in my testing...18:12
RoyK^you need VP18:14
sherrVT18:15
RoyK^ermm18:15

RoyK^positive18:17
RoyK^it's even got a small icon telling if the cpu has it or not18:17
RoyK^but I read somewhere that xen was what made uec possible, or something18:18
RoyK^default install of a node, is that kvm?18:18
sherrRoyK^: I have not looked at UEC much. Interested in virt. but less so in "cloud".18:19
RoyK^afaics UEC is just virtualisation gone large18:20
sherrMy impression was that UEC is based off eucalyptus which is an Amazon compatible AWS layer. But a layer that hides the implementation.18:20
RoyK^sherr: what are you virtualising? servers or general desktop/testing?18:21
sherrAnd Ubuntu's primary ikplementation is KVM. Xen has lost a lot of raction in Ubuntu, Fedora etc.18:21
sherrI am doing servers primarily.18:21
sherrAnd looking to use Xen because most of the available h/w I have available (at work) has no h/w VT.18:22
RoyK^how many VMs?18:22
sherrI have not had such good experiences with KVM either, performance wise.18:22
sherrRoyK^: Not cloud level :-) two or three maybe. I haven't got things running at work yet.18:23
RoyK^sherr: try virtualbox18:23
sherrCurrently, I have a vbox vm on a desktop at home.18:23
RoyK^I use that on my primary (private) opensolaris server with three VMs18:23
sherrWell - 3 actually. 2x lenny, 1x centos (work staging web server)18:24
sherrVBox is great, works well.18:24
jeffesquivelRoyK^, is it possible to remotely manage virtualbox?18:24
RoyK^jeffesquivel: sure18:24
sherrYes. VBoxManage is CLI.18:24
RoyK^jeffesquivel: the OSS version lacks RDP, though18:24
jeffesquivelRoyK^, so... I should be able to install VB even withouth X running on a server?18:24
RoyK^jeffesquivel: but download it form sun and you get RDP console access to each VM, and the rest can be managed through the command line or VirtualBox18:24
RoyK^without X on the server18:25
tyskahello guys18:25
RoyK^just remote X whenever you start VirtualBox18:25
tyskasomeone can help me with UEC?18:25
jeffesquivelRoyK^, sherr, I always thought of VB as more a "desktop virtualisation solution"18:25
RoyK^tyska: ask the question, not whether people can help you or not18:25
RoyK^jeffesquivel: but you can create VMs without X too18:25
RoyK^jeffesquivel: I think that was the initial idea, but it works well for servers too18:26
tyskaRoyK^: i need to explain my problem, if no one is 'listening' i will just waste my time18:26
sherrjeffesquivel: that's because it has a GUI (if desired) that works well. And makes it easy to use.18:26
RoyK^tyska: it usually takes one (long) line - try it18:27
sherrPeople look down on "easy" :-) But time is short sometimes.18:27
* RoyK^ likes easy systems18:27
RoyK^although I think kvm or xen might scale better than vbox18:28
jeffesquivelsherr, RoyK^: ok, I'll look into it too... even so, I prefer KVM + libvirt if possible (because of it being 100% FLOSS)18:28
RoyK^but then, since this box is running opensolaris, nothing else really works18:28
SripaI am unable to upload my kernel using euca-upload-bundle command18:28
RoyK^jeffesquivel: it's your choice entirely :)18:29
SripaIt checks for the bucket name, and never returns..18:29
SripaWhat might be the problem ?18:29
tyskawhen i run euca-describe-availability-zones verbose nothing happens18:29
jeffesquivelRoyK^, sherr: I read sometime ago that there is a feature in newer CPUs which does the virtual to physical page translation in hardware and should improve performance noticeably... do you know anything about it?18:31
tyskai think this problem happened because i had two NIC connected to a HUB that is connected to a DHCP server, in the installation the two NIC'S get dynamic IP, but later i change the configuration of one NIC to static IP18:31
tyskato do a LAN with the nodes in another subnet18:31
tyskanow i've fixed the IP's configuration, but now i have 0000/0000 no free/max on the euca-describe-availability-zones verbose command18:33
tyskasomeone can help me?18:33
sherrtyska: Sorry, no knowledge of UEC.18:34
Sripasherr: got any idea abt mine ?18:34
* sherr thinks UEC might need better support and docs soon. Maybe a seperate channel.18:34
SripaI use eucalyptus installed on centos 518:34
sherrSripa: Sorry - I know little about UEC *or* eucalyptus.18:35
tyskaSripa: see ubuntu-cloud18:35
tyskaSripa: see #ubuntu-cloud18:35
sherrI am vaguely interested, but life is short and I have no business case.18:35
Sripatyska: yeah but that is specific to ubuntu right ?18:36
sherr#ubuntu-cloud - all 5 people .. :-)18:36
tyskaUEC really needs a better documentation18:36
sherrI would assume ubuntu-cloud and UEC and euca are all relevant in that channel18:36
tyskaubuntu enterprise cloud18:37
sherrBut this channel seems to turn into a UEC/Cloud channel a lot anyway ...18:37

smoserand they were using some old debs (probably from hardy)19:32
smoserwhat would be the recommended way to do "auth shadow" ?19:32
smoseri'm guessing its pwauth / libapache2-mod-authnz-external19:34

RoyK^mdadm.conf shouldn't really be necessay - it's stored in the metadata on the drives21:42
sherrRoyK^: I agree. But in my experience, it often seems to be for me.21:42
wack479yes, but if i reboot, it has to be reassmbled without it, correct21:42

mdeslaursoren: yes, it's in main, and gets installed by default21:59

mdeslaursoren: there's a udev rule for it now21:59
mdeslaursoren: I use vmmouse from dapper all the way to lucid22:01
sorenmdeslaur: For a few releases at least you had to put stuff in your xorg.conf to enable it.22:01
mdeslaursoren: yeah22:01
sherrwack479: sorry, there should be one UUID per array22:01
mdeslaursoren: but lucid should get auto-configured with the udev rule22:01
sorenRoyK^: It's a mouse bus that was first used by vmware and then added to QEMu.22:02
RoyK^ok22:02
sorenVMWare has this special port that it uses for communication with the guests.22:03
sorenThat's how they send commands to the vmware tools you install in the guest.22:03
sorenOne of the things they use it for is for sending absolute pointer coordinates to the guest which makes for much nicer pointer integration for desktop environments.22:04
sorenThey also use it to send shutdown events and probaby a bunch of other tidbits.22:04
sorenIt's quite a hack. Especially these days where the hardware help with virtualisation. It violates the usual iopl restrictions in a number of ways. I can't imagine the vmware developers are happy with it these days. They have to special case a bunch of things to account for it.22:06
