lil_cainis there any way to see what packages depend on a given package?00:09
ajmitchapt-cache rdepends package00:11
lil_cainah, cool, thanks00:13
FFF666someone reads what I white?01:25
FFF666Can I ask something about UEC?01:27
FFF666hi, I have installed and configuring the UEC following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/CDInstall.01:38
FFF666I can run an image and login it via ssh, but only from the pc that I've the cloud controller.01:38
FFF666The problem is that I can't ping or login ssh the image from a pc of the LAN.01:38

ubottuFFF666: It's a weekend. Often on weekends the paid developers and a lot of the community may not be around to answer your question. Please be patient, wait longer than you normally would or try again during the working week.02:08
FFF666uu, ok I'll ask tomorrow02:14

amstanhey guys, have you ever experienced a system freeze on high file transfer speeds04:44
amstanon either gigabit ethernet or local hard to hard drive04:45
SpamapSamstan: I have, but only with unreliable hardware. ;)06:35
netritiousHi, I extended a volume group spanning two soft raid devices (/dev/md0 and /dev/md1).  I want to reduce the volume group by removing /dev/md1 and tried using 'vgreduce raid /dev/md1' which returns 'Physical volume "/dev/md1" is still in use.' I'm stuck and can't seem to figure it out. I'm using Hardy Server i386. http://pastebin.com/hkQ4D68A08:27
ivoksnetritious: if you want to reduce the size, you have to unmount the partition08:38
ivoksreducing the size of filesystem isn't as simple as extending08:38
netritiousivoks: Thank you. I knew I was missing something. Will give that a try.08:40
sorenivoks: He's wanting to remove a pv from a vg, not reduce the size of a filesystem, I think.08:50
sorennetritious: You probably want to look at pvmove. It lets you move the used PE's from one PV to another.08:50
sorennetritious: So, in your case, you'd run "pvmove /dev/md1".08:51
sorennetritious: When that's done, you should be able to run your vgreduce command.08:51
netritioussoren, ivoks: My system still is not cooperating with me. http://pastebin.com/iHjqYPhB Where to go from here? Maybe detach the drives physically from the system and then try again?08:56
ivoksback :)08:58
netritiouswb ivoks :)08:58
ivokssoren: well, he should reduce fs before reducing lv/vg, right? :)08:58
ivoksnetritious: you can't unmount partitions you are using :)08:59
ivokspvmove is good suggestion08:59
ivoksnetritious: let's start from begining09:00
ivoksnetritious: you have volume group that uses /dev/md0 and /dev/md1, right?09:00
netritiousivoks: yes, and ty for your patience :)09:00
ivoksphone09:01
netritiousnp..I'm here all night09:01
sorenivoks: Well, maybe. Depends on whether they'd all fit on the single md device.09:02
netritiousWould more detail help?09:03
sorennetritious: Yikes, not pvremove. pvmove.09:04
netritioussoren: ok, I think I have some explaining to do. :)09:05
netritiousI have five drives; 1x160GB IDE that is LG 'system'. Then there are 4x1TB drives. sda and sdb make up /dev/md0 which I added a few days ago. sdc and sdd make up /dev/md1 which I added about an hour ago.09:07
ivoksok09:08
netritiousI initially created LG raid on /dev/md0 and extended it to /dev/md1 (just an hour or so ago)09:08
netritiousI performed 'umount -a' which has unmounted LG 'raid' which is on /dev/md0 and /dev/md109:09
ivoksand now you want to take /dev/md1 out of LF?09:09
ivoksLG09:09
netritiousout of LG 'raid' yes09:10
ivoksthen what soren said09:10
ivokspvmove09:10
ivokspvmove -v /dev/md109:10
netritiousk..will try now, and again thanks for your patience...I am really new to mdadm and lvm.09:11
ivoksvgreduce raid /dev/md109:12
ivokspvremove /dev/md109:13
ivoksthat should be it09:13
sorenWhat's an LG?09:13
ivokslogical group, probably :)09:13
sorenAnd what's that really?09:14
sorenAn LV or a VG?09:14
ivoksor south korean manufacturer :)09:14
ivoksVG09:14
netritioussoren: you're right..I should have used VG09:14
ivoksi'm not sure you'll be able to move everything09:14
ivoks#09:14
ivoks  PV Name               /dev/md109:14
ivoks#09:15
ivoks  Allocatable           yes (but full)09:15
sorenI'm very confused by all of this:09:15
sorennetritious: You have 1 160 GB drive and 4 1 TB drives, and then you speak of sda, sdb, sdc, and sdd. I'm not sure how to map the drive sizes to the device names.09:16
soren...especially since there are 5 drives, but only 4 device names mentioned.09:16
ivokssoren: he has two volume groups09:16
ivokssoren: 160GB is system, 1TB are /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 in raid VG09:16
sorenAlso, if an "LG" really is a VG, it doesn't really make sane that a "umount -a" unmounts an LG that is called raid.09:16
ivokssoren: http://pastebin.com/hkQ4D68A09:17
* soren doesn't get it at all :)09:18
ivoks'pvdisplay' is relevant part :)09:18
sorenAh, there's and sde as well.09:19
soren...which is the 160 GB drive.09:19
ivokssoren: in system VG09:19
netritioussoren: correct09:19
ivoksso, ignore it :)09:19
netritiousexactly :)09:19
sorenOh, and "raid" is the name of the volume group?09:19
netritiousApologies for the confusion09:19
netritioussoren: yes09:19
sorenYou don't unmount volume groups.09:19
sorenSo this makes no sense: 08:09 < netritious> I performed 'umount -a' which has unmounted LG 'raid' which is on /dev/md0 and /dev/md109:20
ivoksof course, it's not mounted at all09:20
sorenivoks: Precisely.09:20
ivokssoren: it probably unmounted LVs on raid VG09:20
sorenivoks: You don't mount LV's either :)09:21
ivoks:p09:21
sorenYou mount filesystems on LV's.... and the VG doesn't care either way.09:21
sorenAnyways...09:21
netritiousAh, more confusion from me again..I unmounted /mnt/storage which is mounted on /dev/mapper/raid-storage09:21
sorennetritious: I stand by my instructions, nevertheless. "pvmove /dev/md1" (add a -v for more info, if you please).. then do "vgreduce" like you did.09:21
ivoksthere we go :)09:21
soren...and then pvremove if you're feeling bored.09:22
netritioussoren: http://pastebin.com/jGgFy9ce09:26
netritioussoren: 'system' is a volume group and 'raid' is a volume group, and nothing is mounted on a logical volume in volume group raid. So I'm still missing something.09:29
netritiousivoks: You had just come and gone... http://pastebin.com/jGgFy9ce09:30
Jeeves_Anyone here with clue where to report broken jigdo images on the releases mirrors?09:31
sorenJeeves_: #ubuntu-release, probably.09:31
sorennetritious: Could you try "pvdisplay -m /dev/md1"?09:32
ivoksi guess he has a filesystem of 2TB on /dev/mapper/raid-storage09:33
ivoksnetritious: when you added /dev/md1, did you extend logical volume and filesystem to 2TB?09:33
Jeeves_soren: Thanks09:33
netritioussoren: http://pastebin.com/1eHhQnNv09:33
ivoksbackups?09:34
sorenivoks: Do you still have the first pastebin thing open? It's expired so I can't go and see.09:35
ivokssoren: nope :/09:35
ivoksoh, wait...09:35
ivokssoren: http://pastebin.com/eYpAUkSz09:36
sorenivoks: Great, thanks.09:36
sorenOh, that just had pvdisplay :(09:36
sorennetritious: Can't help you. You've spent all the space on md1 on an lv called "backups".09:37
netritiousI am trying to look in my bash_history to find all the commands I've ran and in what order09:37
ivoksif you don't need backup, delete that LV :)09:38
sorenThat's not really important, is it?09:38
netritiousno, backups has nothing in/on it...was what I intended to remove from the volume group 'raid'09:38
ivoksnetritious: you can't remove disk which is filled with data, without losing that data09:38
netritiousThere is nothing in 'backups'09:39
ivoksnetritious: then delete that LV09:39
sorennetritious: Oh, hang on.09:39
sorennetritious: You just want to remove that lv? Nothing else?09:39
sorennetritious: You don't actually want to remove md1 from the vg?09:39
netritiousyes, just that LV, not 'storage'09:39
netritiouswait, let me be more specific..09:40
sorenYes, please :)09:40
ivoksbut that's not what you said before :)09:40
Wilco_Hello everyone09:40
netritiousivoks: Apologies for the confusion..still a n00b with lvm...09:41
Wilco_Guys we are going to deploy around 100 Ubuntu Server in virtualization - which ubuntu server would you go for? 9.10 or 8.04.4 LTS?09:41
ivoksit's easy partition -> PV -> VG -> LV -> FS09:41
Wilco_i need to understand how stable is 9.10 vs 8.04.409:41
sorennetritious: It's much easier if you explain what you want to achieve rather than what you think you need to do to achieve it.09:42
sorenWilco_: Why?09:42
ivoksWilco_: real question is what do you need server for09:42
ivoksservers09:42
ivokscoffe09:42
sorenWilco_: There's a new LTS coming out on Thursday. You may want to wait for that.09:42
Wilco_we are building some kind of service which mostly run tomcats09:42
sorenPlease accept my condolences.09:42
Wilco_so im going to have like 100 VMs running tomcats09:43
Wilco_the question which ubuntu to use09:43
ivoks10.04 :)09:43
Wilco_i need something super stable09:43
ivoksoh, 8.04 then09:43
netritioussoren: k, I want to remove /dev/md1 from logical group 'raid' and create another volume group just for /dev/md109:43
ivoks:)09:43
ivoksbut it has old tomcat09:43
sorennetritious: Why?09:43
Wilco_we are going to use the tomcat from tomcat web site09:43
ivoks10.04 should be stable09:43
Wilco_and the java vm from sun09:43
ivoksthen use 8.0409:44
Wilco_ok09:44
sorenivoks: Hm? why?09:44
netritioussoren: I don't want to span the logical volume across /dev/md0 and /dev/md109:45
ivokssoren: cause it's 'super stable' :)09:45
Wilco_i noticed that 9.10 when installed installs EXT 409:45
Wilco_is ext 4 stable enough ?09:45
ivoksyou can change that to any FS you want09:45
Wilco_these will be production servers so i really need something that wont dye on me09:45
Wilco_dye=die09:45
Wilco_yeah09:45
Wilco_i was just suprised when i saw it default to ext409:46
sorennetritious: Why?09:46
ivoksthe issues i have with 9.10 on servers is upstart09:46
netritioussoren: Why not?09:46
Wilco_explain ?09:46
Wilco_i use VMware to run the ubuntus and they load up pretty fast09:46
netritioussoren: is that a bad idea?09:46
Wilco_even vmware-tools works fine09:46
sorennetritious: Maybe. Hence the "why"?09:46
Wilco_soren: would it be wise to use the latest LTS09:47
Wilco_coming on thu ?09:47
sorenWilco_: Usually, yes.09:47
Wilco_hmm09:47
Wilco_dilemmas dilemmas09:47
sorenWilco_: You can install it now and start testing.09:47
sorenWilco_: No need to wait.09:47
netritioussoren: It just makes sense to me to only have to deal with one volume group per raid device.09:47
Wilco_soren - our machines are very simple. a tomcat, java jdk, apache, some php and thats it09:48
sorennetritious: Ok. Well, if that's wha tyou want, that's fine. I just don't see the point.09:48
ivoksWilco_: on 9.10, nfs is started before network, for example09:48
Wilco_ivoks: thats lame - dont you get a timeout here?09:48
ivoksit's not the problem for services09:48
soren9.10 had a lot of problems like that. They should all have been addressed in 10.04.09:48
ivoksproblem is when your /home is NFS :)09:49
Wilco_hehe09:49
Wilco_and in 8.04 its ok ?09:49
ivoksthen boot fails09:49
ivoks8.04 and 10.04 are ok09:49
Wilco_great.09:49
Wilco_ok - another issue that im puzzled with is MYSQL Enterprise 5.1 - (not the one that comes off the ubuntu) - do yo uknow if its runs in 64bit on ubuntu 8.04?09:49
ivoksi would suggest 10.04 then09:49
ivoksjust make sure your app works with php 5.309:50
Wilco_they have a weird matrix09:50
Wilco_of supported OS09:50
Wilco_but they are vague on ubuntu09:50
ivoksdon't know09:50
ivoksi never understood people that but mysql... :/09:50
ivoksbuy09:50
netritioussoren: To be completely honest I probably don't need LVM at all...I'm really not doing anything with it unless I span the two RADI1 devices, correct?09:50
sorennetritious: The awesomeness of lvm is not just that you can dynamically resize LV's, but also that you can have a VG that spans multiple LV's. Unless you're expecting to move one of the raid sets to another machine, I just don't see the point in splitting them into two VG's.09:50
ivokshave one VG or don't have VG at all09:51
ivoks(in this case)09:51
netritioussoren: I'm trying to account for that exactly...in the event this old hardware gives out on me.09:51
Wilco_ivoks: we need to for support purposes09:51
sorennetritious: Then you would take one of the raid sets and put in one box and the other raid set in another?09:51
netritiousthe drives are new, but the motherboard/ram/cpus are 8+ years old09:51
ivoksWilco_: still... :)09:52
netritioussoren: can't until I get more hardware09:52
sorennetritious: I'm asking..09:52
sorennetritious: If your server exploded, would you move one of the raid sets to one machine and the other raid set to another?09:53
sorennetritious: Or would you move them both to the same box?09:53
netritioussoren: very possibly09:53
netritiousthe first09:53
sorennetritious: Ok. Then just split them. You're just losing a lot of flexibility that way, but ok.09:53
netritioussoren: I just want the option09:53
netritioussoren: splitting them makes it less flexible in the event I have to move to two different machines? Just trying to make sure I understand.09:55
netritioussoren: or are you saying I have less flexibility with LVM in general by not spanning across the raid devices?09:56
sorennetritious: No, splitting them means that you now have to worry about where your data is kept.09:56
sorennetritious: One of the great things about lvm is that you just have a great big blob of storage and don't need to worry about where the data is.09:56
sorenYou just say "hey, I need an LV that's 40009:57
sorenGB for my databases" and it gives it to you.09:57
sorenIt may span multiple PV's or not. You don't need to know.09:57
sorenYou just know that you get a blob of storage you can use.09:57
sorenIf you want to extend it later on, you just do.09:57
soren...and that may expand it into another pv. You don't need to know.09:58
sorenIf you split them, you always need to consider whether you're good on space on this VG or if you'd rather put it on the other VG or whatnot.09:58
netritioussoren: that makes sense09:59
netritioussoren: that was kind of my point about using LVM in the first place...It's probably not needed with what I think I want out of it, but on the other hand if I need to move each volume group to two different servers and then span across more physical or RAID devices it would be optimal to split it now..I'm guessing at that of course.10:00
netritiousbut 'sotrage' and 'backup' have distinct purposes, but atm 'storage' is acting as both, which is why I wanted to add more drives in the first place10:01
Wilco_guys any of you use landscape to manage patch management on multiple ubuntu servers10:06
Wilco_we are considering getting it so we have a baseline of patches across all servers10:06
RoyKWilco_: we have it on test, considering it10:07
RoyKit seems to have its limitations, but looks good nevertheless10:07
Wilco_i only need it to patch the servers :)10:07
Wilco_have you tried it ?10:07
Jeeves_We've tried it10:08
RoyKWilco_: for just patching servers, landscape might be overkill :)10:08
Jeeves_Couldn't really find an advantage over our existing Nagios, Munin, and 'apt-get upgrade' strategy.10:08
Wilco_Jeeves_:  apt-get upgrade is an issue10:09
Jeeves_Wilco_: How?10:09
RoyKthere's stuff like cron-apt10:09
Wilco_because in different times you may not have the same patch level across servers10:09
Wilco_i must have all my servers using the same updates10:09
lil_cainjust update them all at the same time.10:09
stgraberunattend-upgrade configured to update everything + a nagios check to make sure there isn't any package "blocked" by dpkg is usually working perfectly fine10:09
Jeeves_Wilco_: Than you should always apt-get upgrade at the same time10:09
RoyKWilco_: landscape is convenient for that, yes, especially with a large number of servers10:10
Wilco_but on production critical servers you sometimes cant10:10
Wilco_i gonna have like 200 servers in a year10:10
Wilco_i need ORDER :)10:10
* Jeeves_ gives Wilco_ cfengine and autoapt.pl10:10
Wilco_Jeeves_: what are these?10:10
Wilco_scriptz?10:11
RoyKWilco_: landscape costs $150 per server (though less for non-commercial and less with many servers). with 200 servers, I'd say it might be worth it10:11
Wilco_yeah they giviing me superb price10:11
* stgraber is managing something between 600 and 1k Ubuntu servers (mostly Ubuntu containers with vserver/openvz + some vmware/kvm VMs + some physical hosts)10:11
Jeeves_Wilco_: cfengine is a scriptinglanguage which allows you to configure servers out of svn10:11
Wilco_price is not the issue10:11
lil_cainI'd just use puppet, or cluster-ssh.10:11
Jeeves_autoapt.pl install's software when you want it, and configures it unattended10:11
RoyKWilco_: then go for it - less hassle than using cfengine and the likes10:11
Wilco_ok10:11
Wilco_ic10:11
Wilco_thats great support here guys :)10:11
Wilco_stgraber:  how do you patch your 1000 servers?10:12
Wilco_does anyone here have some script that hardens an ubuntu server?10:12
Wilco_or at least checks that its hardened?10:12
Jeeves_Nope10:12
RoyK'harden'?10:12
Wilco_security10:12
Wilco_scans the os10:12
Wilco_turns of what ever requires turns off10:13
stgraberWilco_: bcfg2 (similar to puppet) which make sure package lists + files match what we have in our repo every hour + unattended-upgrade at fixed time every night for the upgrades + munin/nagios to make sure everything is consistent (including package version)10:13
RoyKit should be pretty decent out of the box10:13
Jeeves_Wilco_: It doesn't start anything that you didn't install :)10:13
RoyKWilco_: so long as you don't install unneeded stuff, it should be quite hardened by default10:13
ivoksWilco_: and you buy support, pih... :)10:13
ewookWilco_: there's tons of ways to do that.10:13
Wilco_i just install openSSH server10:13
RoyKufw enable might help too10:13
RoyKWilco_: and fail2ban10:14
Wilco_ic10:14
ewookWilco_: propper iptables setup, rkhunter and fail2ban and patching is a good start.10:14
Wilco_ok10:14
ewookand I see some already said that :P10:14
Jeeves_Did rkhunter stop whining about ssh allready?10:14
Wilco_i wont be using iptables - gonna use vShield Zones10:14
ewookJeeves_: no :)10:14
Wilco_i'll check rkhunter and fail2ban10:15
Jeeves_ewook: Than it still sucks :)10:15
ewookJeeves_: or, depends what the wining is about :P10:15
Wilco_stgraber: very intresting10:15
ewookJeeves_: you meen the blacklisted sums?10:15
ewookmean10:15
Jeeves_ewook: No. The root-login stuff.10:15
Wilco_stgraber: what happens when a new kernel releases - do you update it too ? dont you restart the server in this scenario ?10:15
ewookJeeves_: I've never seen that one on a ubuntu.. or so I think.10:16
Wilco_stgraber: you said "our repo" - you have your own repository ? and if so why ?10:16
ewookWilco_: yes you do. but that is planned maintenence to take down a server :)10:16
lil_cainJeeves_: What root login stuff?10:16
Jeeves_lil_cain: 'You are allowing a root login! That is very dangerous!'10:16
lil_cainWilco_: If you're managing >3/4 machines that run anything non-standard, it's worth having your own repo.10:16
ewookJeeves_: there's no root enabled in my configs10:17
Wilco_ok10:17
Wilco_i dont.10:17
ewookJeeves_: so you might wanna check your setup :P10:17
Wilco_i just use ubuntu main10:17
stgraberWilco_: as I said, most of these are containers, containers use the host kernel and don't have their own. For physical and VMs, we upgrade the kernel and we have hooks in /etc/kernel.d/ to send e-mail in cases where there's a custom module that need manual building + maintenance window. For others, it really depends on the support contract we have with the customer regarding security, in some cases we reboot, in some cases we wait for anot10:17
Wilco_very simple10:17
lil_cainJeeves_: Ah. I always thought that was a stupid default on the part of Ubuntu.10:17
Wilco_stgraber: nice10:17
Jeeves_ewook: We allow root-logins by default. Because it makes stuff much easier for us.10:18
ewookWilco_: having your own repo is the same thinging as having a WSUS for windows-machines.10:18
stgraberWilco_: we use the official archive + a ppa + an internal repository for non-distributable packages. "repo" in my previous sentence was refering to a configuration repository describing all "profiles" (package lists, configuration files lists, ...) that's in our case a bzr branch.10:18
Wilco_am i right that the only time you need to reboot the server is when the kernel/drivers update?10:18
Jeeves_Root still doesn't have a password, only pubkeys10:18
ewookJeeves_: well then, it's not rkhunter's fault :P10:18
lil_cainWilco_: when libc6 does as well.10:18
Wilco_ok10:18
Jeeves_ewook: It is, when I tell it not to whine about it and it still does :)10:18
ewookJeeves_: oh. gotcha. :P10:19
ewookJeeves_: I'd be happy if there's a slipstreamed and 'secured' way that it rehashes itself after a apt-upgrade10:20
Wilco_guys maybe its not relevant - a friend of mine asked me to help after he compailned that his server was hacked. i was able to confirm taht his server was hackde (root) - i could see the entire history the hacker did i.e in bash_history10:20
Wilco_however we noticed that teh server loads up with promiscious mode on10:20
Wilco_at boot time10:20
Wilco_any ideas how to turn that off :) ?10:20
Jeeves_Disconnect the server, and use the console?10:20
JanCWilco_: wipe & reinstall the whole thing10:21
Wilco_yeah thats what i told him10:21
Wilco_but it was interswting10:21
ewookI love the word promiscious, it's such a durty word :P10:21
Wilco_to understand10:21
Wilco_the moment redhat starts it says entering promiscuous mode on eth010:21
Wilco_i even tried forcing the network confgiguration to turn of promisucous - no worky10:22
Jeeves_Wilco_: So how many passwords does the hacker have by now?10:22

kirklandcjwatson: around?  rgreening is hitting the same error I saw on Lucid w/ RAID on real hardware;  he's not using RAID, and he's in a VM18:41
kirklandcjwatson: i could use someone with initramfs skills to help debug this and determine if it's release-critical18:41
hggdhkirkland: yes, no prob. I will have to go back to topo2, the one that seems more prone to this failure18:41
kirklandcjwatson: i asked keybuk for help last night, but he said it wasn't his focus18:41
hggdhhum. Lemme check on topo4 logs18:42
rgreeningty kirkland and cjwatson18:42
kirklandrgreening: thank you ...  i think your setup shows this problem even more straight-forwardly than mine18:42
kirklandrgreening: so 1797062656 is size on disk ... is this a sparse image?18:42
rgreeningok. Strange that I upgraded 5 other VM's similarly, and they worked. So, 1/6 times it failed :)18:43
rgreeningkirkland: ya18:43
kirklandhggdh: okay, it's uploaded to ubuntu-virt-ppa; awaiting build18:43
cjwatsonkirkland: not using RAID => different bug, presumptively18:43
kirklandcjwatson: well, unless RAID is not the actual issue at all18:43
cjwatsonthis one looks like it's that the device doesn't show up in time, maybe?18:43
cjwatsontry rootdelay=120 or some such18:43
hggdhkirkland: k. Just keep in mind it may take a few hours to reach the OOM point18:43
cjwatsonnot sure18:43
cjwatsonkirkland: I would recommend not pre-emptively conflating bugs with similar symptoms18:44
cjwatsonconflate them once you know they're the same, by all means18:44

cjwatsonyou can try Keybuk; everyone else will be finishing for the day I think18:45
cemcrgreening: how did you upgrade the VMs from Karmic exactly?18:46
rgreeningcjwatson: that's the thing, I have 1 out of 6 busted VM's. The others have similar setup and only this one failed update from karmic to lucid.. strange. I don't believe I could easily duplicate it. though I can try.18:46

cjwatsonyou could also try mounting it from that.  to me, if this doesn't have any lvm or raid or other funny stuff involved, EINVAL seems to imply that the filesystem is toast18:53
