| RootChaos | so i'll wait for the lts release to come out | 00:00 |
| RootChaos | like with 7.x | 00:00 |
| RootChaos | etc. | 00:00 |
| sbeattie | um, err, 10.04 LTS ought to be out tomorrow. | 00:00 |
| soren | sbeattie: Today, really. It's Thursday already. You guys are just behind. :) | 00:01 |
| RootChaos | that's good news... just hope our bandwidth to SA holds up with the seacom cable maintenance... we've been having poor internet access from upstream providers running mostly on seacom | 00:01 |
| sbeattie | soren: based on sleep patterns I'm still on tuesday. So nyah! | 00:02 |
| RootChaos | perhaps our TENET mirror will have it sooner than later | 00:02 |
| RootChaos | anyways | 00:02 |
| RootChaos | thanks guys | 00:02 |
| soren | sbeattie: Based on time aged during this release cycle, it's 2014 for me, probably. | 00:02 |
| sbeattie | RootChaos: You could um start prefetching now | 00:02 |
| RootChaos | 10.x LTS RC ? | 00:03 |
| RootChaos | hhmm | 00:05 |
| RootChaos | would it be easy to upgrade from the RC to the release version ? | 00:05 |

| mathiaz | ahasenack: I was wondering what you thought about the drop of cn=localroot,cn=config in slapd in lucid | 00:41 |
| mathiaz | ahasenack: and not using SASL mapping anymore | 00:41 |
| ahasenack | mathiaz: no strong opinion either way, because the client when using ldapi doesn't even see this | 00:41 |
| mathiaz | ahasenack: instead I just use directly the sasl name for root in the olcAccess rule | 00:41 |
| mathiaz | ahasenack: it seems to be simpler | 00:42 |
| ahasenack | mathiaz: I just hope they never change the way this sasl DN is constructed :) | 00:43 |
| mathiaz | ahasenack: :) - we'll another olcAccess rule then :) | 00:43 |

| ScottK | +1 for that from me. | 03:46 |
| twb | http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie | 03:46 |
| kzman | is the ftp and windows filesharing download speed alike? | 03:48 |
| twb | I don't understand the question. | 03:48 |
| kzman | do they have FTP and Windows filesharing the same download speed? | 03:50 |
| twb | I don't understand the question. | 03:50 |
| kzman | which is more efficient? | 03:51 |
| twb | What is "windows filesharing"? | 03:51 |
| kzman | when i share files in a windows network (samba on linux) | 03:51 |
| twb | You mean CIFS? | 03:52 |

| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, ping | 04:23 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: howdy | 04:23 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: we're trying to get your testdrive uds session scheduled | 04:23 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, howdy :) | 04:23 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: looks like it'll be on the desktop track | 04:23 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, yeah that's what i was wondering | 04:24 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: it might get renamed, or something | 04:25 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, but which one are we gonna use: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/testdrive/+spec/server-maverick-testdrive-frontend-gsoc or https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/testdrive-gtk/+spec/server-maverick-gsoc-testdrive-frontend | 04:25 |
| kirkland | but it should be an open forum for collecting ideas | 04:25 |
| RoAkSoAx | to pass the info from one to another | 04:25 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: we/you won't have to implement all of them, for sure | 04:25 |
| ScottK | RoAkSoAx and kirkland: Not sure if you've already got it covered, but maybe a session on getting onther flavors integrated into testdrive. I know there are Kubuntu people interested in that and probably other flavors too. | 04:25 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: but it would be nice to drum up some community around this | 04:25 |
| kirkland | ScottK: agreed; that's part of what RoAkSoAx should be doing this summer as part of his GSoC project | 04:26 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, of course. That's what i was thinking. That's why at first I said goals and first get a PyGTK and then the garage/car approach. | 04:27 |
| ScottK | Great. | 04:27 |
| kirkland | ScottK: rough story-board looks something like http://people.canonical.com/~kirkland/testdrive-wizard.html | 04:27 |
| kirkland | ScottK: where the "flavor" field would be Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Mythbuntu, etc. | 04:27 |
| RoAkSoAx | ScottK, you mean have a Testdrive PyQT interface? | 04:27 |
| ScottK | RoAkSoAx: That would be nice, but I was starting with being able to use different flavors in test drive. | 04:28 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, and yes, one of the features is to be able to testdrive other flavors... that's something that Im gonna start working on right after having the modularization finished | 04:28 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: so if you can get PyQT going, that's great, but PyGTK comes first; I think ScottK just means getting Testdrive able to download and test other Ubuntu flavors | 04:28 |
| ScottK | In line with what kirkland just pointed out. | 04:28 |
| RoAkSoAx | ScottK,^^ | 04:28 |
| ScottK | Yeah. | 04:28 |
| kirkland | ScottK: great, we're in sync | 04:28 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: if your modularization goes well, bolting on a PyQT interface should be easy for someone else to contribute | 04:28 |
| RoAkSoAx | ScottK, btw.. can I bother you with python code review? in a few days for advice in the way how am implementing the OO? | 04:29 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, yes that;s the idea... it should be possible now btw... | 04:29 |
| ScottK | kirkland and RoAkSoAx: I would suggest consulting with someont like rgreening_ who worked on the USB creator split to make sure you start with a design that will be easy to add a different front end to. | 04:29 |
| ScottK | He's been through it before and can give good advice on laying a foundation for expansion. | 04:30 |
| === rgreening_ is now known as rgreening | ||
| rgreening | yep | 04:30 |
| rgreening | :) | 04:30 |
| RoAkSoAx | ScottK, yeah indeed that;s why I decided proposed to modularize the code | 04:30 |
| RoAkSoAx | rgreening, ok then I;ll bother you for some code review/advice then in a few days | 04:31 |
| ScottK | rgreening: BTW, you pinged earlier. I'm here now. | 04:31 |
| rgreening | sounds good RoAkSoAx | 04:31 |
| kirkland | rgreening: excellent, you'll be at UDS? | 04:31 |
| rgreening | ScottK: I figured it out. | 04:31 |
| rgreening | kirkland: yep | 04:31 |
| kirkland | rgreening: cool, would be nice if you could join us for a session on Testdrive then | 04:32 |
| rgreening | kirkland: I'll be bugging the server guys lots while im there :) | 04:32 |
| rgreening | kirkland: sure thing | 04:32 |
| rgreening | kirkland: you have a blueprint up for that? | 04:32 |
| kirkland | rgreening: ack, https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/testdrive-gtk/+spec/server-maverick-gsoc-testdrive-frontend | 04:33 |
| rgreening | Im getting into some real kvm server work now at the office. and building lots of vm's .. so Ill pick lots of server brains at uds :) | 04:33 |
| kirkland | hmm, link broken | 04:33 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, so i shall migrate the info already posted in https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/testdrive/+spec/server-maverick-testdrive-frontend-gsoc | 04:34 |
| RoAkSoAx | to https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/testdrive-gtk/+spec/server-maverick-gsoc-testdrive-frontend | 04:34 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: oh ... hmm, sorry about that | 04:34 |
| ScottK | kirkland and RoAkSoAx: Small nit for your mockup: Kubuntu and Kubuntu Netbook Remix are two separate ISOs/subflavors. They are just built from the same seed set (unlike Ubunut/UNE) and so may not have appeared on your list. | 04:34 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: yeah, please converge on one | 04:34 |
| kirkland | ScottK: thanks ... this was an html napkin ;-) | 04:35 |
| ScottK | Sure. | 04:35 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, you already proposed https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/testdrive/+spec/server-maverick-testdrive-frontend-gsoc so, I guess we should have everything in there instead of the one in https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/testdrive-gtk/+spec/server-maverick-gsoc-testdrive-frontend | 04:35 |
| kirkland | ScottK: i'm going to try and get IS and the cdimage guys to give us a good manifest | 04:35 |
| rgreening | I suggest drop the gtk | 04:35 |
| rgreening | to remain FE agnostic :) | 04:36 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: yes, please just make sure there's just one blueprint | 04:36 |
| RoAkSoAx | rgreening, the gtk is part of the GSoC project | 04:36 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: move all the pertinent info to one | 04:36 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: subscribe me to it | 04:36 |
| rgreening | ah | 04:36 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: mark the other one "superceded" | 04:36 |
| rgreening | okies | 04:36 |
| RoAkSoAx | rgreening, but the modularization will allow us to have the other front ends | 04:36 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, will do | 04:36 |
| rgreening | cool | 04:36 |
| kirkland | rgreening: yeah, RoAkSoAx is tasked with putting a GTK frontend on it for Google Summer of Code | 04:36 |
| kirkland | rgreening: in doing so, he's modularizing it such that another FE can bolt on easily | 04:37 |
| kirkland | rgreening: we're interested in your advice/review of that | 04:37 |
| rgreening | well, I may be able to help getting a qt/kde up and running | 04:37 |
| rgreening | yep | 04:37 |
| kirkland | rgreening: and if you want to put together the qt FE in parallel, that would be great ;-) | 04:37 |
| RoAkSoAx | awesome then :) | 04:37 |

| rgreening | me 2 | 04:38 |
| rgreening | yeah. 1 line to launch a vm.. I run for coffee while it syncs :) | 04:38 |
| kirkland | rgreening: saved me many, many hours this release cycle, doing ISO testing | 04:39 |
| kirkland | was *way* worth the couple of hours it took to write | 04:39 |
| rgreening | kirkland: we need to figure out how to integrate checkbox into it to automate testing :) | 04:39 |
| kirkland | rgreening: and the secret agenda is that it gets people using and testing KVM without really knowing it ;-) | 04:39 |
| kirkland | rgreening: kvm-autotest is how ;-) | 04:40 |
| rgreening | heh. tru dat | 04:40 |

| rgreening | ha | 04:56 |
| twb | What would that be on Ubuntu, vpnc? | 04:56 |
| rgreening | one of the vpn sw supports the cisco client iirc | 04:57 |
| rgreening | not vpnc though I think | 04:57 |
| twb | Awesome, there's also openconnect, which has a Description that talks about a *different* Cisco VPN protocol | 04:57 |
| twb | rgreening: I did aptitude search ~dcisco~dvpn | 04:58 |
| jpds | twb: network-manager-vpnc ? | 04:59 |
| rgreening | twb: Cisco vpn has a few varieties... | 04:59 |
| twb | jpds: presumably that's a wrapper for people dumb enough to run NM | 04:59 |
| rgreening | did customer provide any settings/options required? | 04:59 |
| twb | rgreening: there's some auth details further down the page. | 05:00 |
| rgreening | vpnc may do it.. depending on requirements | 05:00 |
| twb | Oh, and they gave me a .pcf file, which is probably the equivalent of openvpn's cert files. | 05:03 |
| rgreening | possibly | 05:03 |
| twb | Haha, no, it's just an ini file | 05:03 |
| twb | I hate customers | 05:03 |

| twb | Play a different song, then? | 05:14 |
| arrrghhh | lol if it was only that simple. it's not just one song | 05:14 |
| arrrghhh | i haven't been able to get it to play one song. i've tried at least 20 | 05:15 |
| twb | Are you running mpd in the foreground? | 05:18 |
| arrrghhh | not currently, but i've used the --verbose and what is it, --no-damon or something? i believe it just ends. i see the segfault in my /var/log/messages tho. | 05:18 |
| twb | Ideally you want to know what it does BEFORE the segfault | 05:19 |
| twb | Though if I were you I'd probably just say "bugger it, let's use xmms2" | 05:20 |
| arrrghhh | lol really? | 05:20 |
| arrrghhh | can i connect to xmms2 with many different clients? and i'm assuming it's a console-based player? | 05:20 |
| twb | xmms2 is a modular mpd | 05:21 |
| arrrghhh | i really did love mpd on my old ubuntu-server. | 05:21 |
| arrrghhh | whatever it was up to, i guess it was 9.10 before i blasted it all away and installed 10.04 fresh. | 05:21 |
| arrrghhh | all i really want is a music server with a small footprint that just runs as a service... and i need to be able to control it from many different clients | 05:22 |
| twb | Shrug. Your two choices there are mpd and xmms2, and I don't care enough to help you debug the former. | 05:23 |
| arrrghhh | i thought xmms2 was just really a self contained player | 05:24 |
| arrrghhh | hrm. that's unfortunate. i don't understand why it would segfault on libavcodec. | 05:27 |

| twb | From Karmic onwards, there's no qemu, only qemu-kvm. | 08:52 |
| twb | What am I supposed to do if I can't use KVM, and installing the kvm package (which modprobes kvm without asking) causes the kernel to hang completely, due to it fighting with vmware? (And management won't let me remove vmware.) | 08:52 |
| _ruben | file a bug i assume | 08:53 |
| twb | I was afraid of that :-/ | 08:53 |
| twb | For qemu 0.11, I rolled Debian's package into a ppa backport (for hardy). | 08:54 |
| twb | Now I need 0.12, so looks like I'll be doing that again | 08:54 |
| _ruben | does blacklisting the kvm modules help? not sure if blacklisting works for modprobe invokations though | 08:54 |
| twb | I'm a bit scared to try that on a production machine | 08:54 |
| _ruben | that's what test setups are for ;) | 08:54 |
| twb | I can't afford the $300 for a second VT CPU | 08:55 |
| soren | twb: You can blacklist the kvm modules. | 09:07 |
| soren | twb: The upstart job should respect that. | 09:07 |
| twb | soren: hardy doesn't use upstart much :-) | 09:07 |
| soren | twb: Well, you could just comment out the call to modprobe. | 09:08 |
| twb | But any call to modprobe will honour blacklists in modprobe.d | 09:08 |
| soren | I forget if the init script passed -b to modprobe in Hardy. | 09:08 |
| _ruben | twb: but hardy isnt "karmic onwards", so now i'm confused :) | 09:08 |
| soren | It's been a while, after all :) | 09:08 |
| soren | twb: No. | 09:08 |
| soren | twb: Only if you pass -b. | 09:08 |
| twb | Sorry, by blacklist I mean "install foo /bin/true" or so, not "blacklist foo". | 09:09 |
| twb | _ruben: sorry, I'm stuck on hardy but I want (to backport) qemu 0.12. | 09:09 |
| soren | twb: Anyways, commenting out the call to modprobe is perfectly acceptable as well. init scripts are conffiles as well. | 09:10 |
| _ruben | twb: ah | 09:10 |
| twb | soren: yes, but less reliable if some OTHER part of the kvm package tries to modprobe. | 09:10 |
| twb | I'd at least have to use policy-rc.d to prevent it doing it at install time, before I could get to the init script to edit it. | 09:11 |
| twb | Not that it matters much... | 09:11 |
| soren | I didn't think just loading the modules caused problems. I thought it wasn't until you actually ran some virtual machines things started to go South. | 09:15 |
| twb | Oh, sorry, I just remembered | 09:17 |
| twb | It's not kvm + vmware, it's kvm + openvz that makes it hang | 09:17 |
| twb | Or possibly all three together | 09:17 |
| twb | I just like to blame vmware because it's proprietary | 09:18 |
| smoser | erichammond, stuff is on its way up to ap-southeast-1 | 09:23 |

| janislaw | hello | 09:38 |
| janislaw | I am an average linux user - mostly from user experience | 09:39 |
| janislaw | In a moment our team is buing a new server and I am going to set up a system | 09:39 |
| janislaw | it's amd64 with 64GB of RAM and would be serving basic services for about 20 users | 09:40 |
| janislaw | I am looking for a comprehensive guide to set up the server | 09:40 |
| janislaw | I wonder if you could provide some links | 09:40 |
| twb | I'd avoid speccing hardware to last more than three, or at most five, years. | 09:44 |
| twb | Consider what would, today, be a five-year-old machine. It's probably PATA or SCSI, DDR1, and a Pentium 4 or so. You would have to pay MORE for spare parts than to buy a whole new machine three times faster. | 09:45 |
| twb | Oops, ignore me completely. I read "20 users" as "20 years" | 09:46 |
| janislaw | ;) | 09:46 |
| twb | Because 64GB is pretty overkill for most applications of a twenty-user system | 09:46 |
| janislaw | well, we are replacing an about-9-year-old machine, for which the original admin is long gone | 09:47 |
| janislaw | oh, for an average user | 09:47 |
| janislaw | we will be doing computations which require 4GB+ memory | 09:47 |
| twb | File sharing, printing, and mail would only need 1GB | 09:47 |
| twb | Ah, OK | 09:47 |
| janislaw | almost a cheap, home-blown HPC | 09:48 |
| twb | Nod | 09:48 |
| janislaw | we're considering a queuing system if some users were too agressive on the processor time | 09:48 |
| janislaw | I am looking for a guide to help with such stuff like user quotas, hooks on user creation, packages considered as a must-have | 09:50 |
| twb | Some of that is just ulimits | 09:50 |
| janislaw | ok | 09:51 |
| janislaw | among others, there would be: LAMP, ssh, ftp, svn, bzr and mathematic packages on FORTRAN and Matlab | 09:52 |
| twb | janislaw: /etc/security/limits.conf | 09:53 |
| janislaw | could you recommend http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/ | 09:53 |
| twb | Hmm? | 09:53 |
| janislaw | twb: /etc/security/limits.conf is exactly what I need for the start | 09:54 |
| twb | limits.conf is basically the default values; the sh "ulimit" builtin allows users to voluntarily restrict themselves further. | 09:55 |
| twb | For disk quotas, you want the "quota" package, which requires some extra setup. | 09:55 |
| janislaw | ok! | 10:02 |

| echosystm | anyone here had a play with the cloud stuff? | 11:30 |
| twb | !anyone | 11:31 |
| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 11:31 |
| zorzar | echosystm: which cloud stuff? | 11:32 |
| echosystm | the ubuntu ECS thing | 11:37 |
| echosystm | sorru | 11:37 |
| echosystm | UEC | 11:37 |
| echosystm | ubuntu enterprise cloud | 11:37 |
| zorzar | echosystm: i'm running ubuntu on amazons ec2 | 11:37 |
| echosystm | im interested to know how it works | 11:37 |
| echosystm | the website istn very detailed | 11:37 |
| echosystm | i see a lot of places offering "cloud services" | 11:38 |
| echosystm | but its really just a VPS with ram/storage that can be expanded and contracted | 11:38 |
| echosystm | to me, a cloud service is something like google app engine, not rackspace "cloud servers" | 11:38 |
| echosystm | so, my question, which camp does EC2/UEC belong in? | 11:39 |
| zorzar | "cloud servers" | 11:39 |
| zorzar | the big differenc between a "cloud server" and a normal VPS is that you have an api to spawn and terminate servers and it happens in minutes | 11:40 |
| erichammond | ...and you pay for it in small units like by the hour. | 11:41 |
| echosystm | thats crap :( | 11:42 |
| echosystm | its hardly really a cloud is it | 11:42 |
| echosystm | if someones going to offer me some cloud service, i expect scalability to be automagic | 11:43 |
| echosystm | like appengine | 11:43 |
| zorzar | echosystm: then perhaps you have to rethink your definition of a cloud service | 11:43 |
| erichammond | echosystm: There is no widely accepted definition of "cloud" so it is difficult to say what is and isn't "cloud". EC2 = "Elastic Compute Cloud" and is one of the few services which self proclaimed "cloud experts" would never say is "not cloud". | 11:44 |
| echosystm | the whole idea of the word "cloud" is that you just throw your app out there and it somehow just works | 11:45 |
| echosystm | thats hardly what EC2/rackspace/ etc. provide | 11:45 |
| echosystm | lol | 11:45 |
| echosystm | but anyway | 11:45 |
| erichammond | echosystm: You're free to add your own definition of cloud to the mess :) | 11:45 |
| echosystm | i guess i got my answer, thanks guys:) | 11:45 |
| zorzar | echosystm: np ;) | 11:46 |
| zorzar | echosystm: ec2 does offer autoscaling | 11:46 |
| echosystm | yeah, but its like scaling one VPS, isnt it? | 11:46 |
| echosystm | as opposed to having your app automatically deployed to multiple servers | 11:47 |
| lil_cain | scalability is never going to be automagic. | 11:47 |
| echosystm | it is on app engine | 11:47 |
| lil_cain | It may be easier, but if you want a scalable system, you have to design for it. | 11:47 |
| zorzar | echosystm: you can have your app automatically deployed to ec2 instances | 11:47 |
| echosystm | app engine you just upload to one place, and google works out where best to put it | 11:48 |
| zorzar | echosystm: yeah but app engine has other big limitations | 11:48 |
| echosystm | true | 11:48 |
| zorzar | echosystm: just use the tool that fits best, but just because you can hardly put a nail in the wall with a screwdriver, the screwdriver istn't bad by design | 11:50 |
| \sh | application scalability has nothing to do with the underlaying server...app engine just works like a simple web host .. if they wouldn't have shared storage and shared session management for the apps it wouldn't work as expected... | 11:52 |

| echosystm | ok guys | 12:24 |
| echosystm | ubuntu server has 5 years | 12:25 |
| echosystm | but desktop only has 3 | 12:25 |
| echosystm | (LTS, i mean) | 12:25 |
| echosystm | is it like a subset of the repo has 5 years, while the rest has 3? | 12:25 |
| echosystm | or what | 12:25 |
| echosystm | because ubuntu and ubuntu server obviously use the same repo | 12:25 |
| echosystm | i dont get it | 12:25 |
| lil_cain | Yeah, it's a subset of the repo is on a three year support cycle. | 12:26 |
| echosystm | that sucks :( | 12:29 |
| JanC | echosystm: why? | 12:29 |
| echosystm | would have been nice to have the whole repo on that support cycle | 12:29 |
| echosystm | sometimes on servers you need to install gnome and so on | 12:30 |
| JanC | it's not like those packages will be removed | 12:30 |
| echosystm | yeah but they wont get security updates | 12:30 |
| echosystm | cant have that | 12:30 |
| lil_cain | I have never found a decent reason to install gnome on a server. | 12:31 |
| twb | What about "to convince $boss the hardware is too slow" | 12:31 |
| twb | "Gee, boss, look, after I installed tomcat, we get OOMed every few minutes" | 12:32 |
| twb | "Maybe you should give me $30 to upgrade to 1GiB of RAM" | 12:32 |
| echosystm | small business lil_cain | 12:36 |
| echosystm | they want a GUI | 12:36 |
| lil_cain | use a web thingy | 12:36 |
| lil_cain | !ebox | 12:37 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 12:37 |
| twb | echosystm: rather, they THINK they want bug-for-bug compatibility with MS SBS | 12:37 |

| maek | I have 4 disks, 2 of which I got DD images of, 1 has not partition table and the 4th makes a grinding noise when plugged in. trying to determine is the 3 disks were raid 5 or just concated. | 19:30 |

| jpds | aubre: No, but use a local one. | 20:03 |
| persia | There are a couple, but they are all very slow (because they try to download from lots of places). Manually selecting a nearby mirror is almost always better than the tools. | 20:03 |

| kirkland | dendro-afk: soren: hey guys, doubt you're terribly interested, but thought I'd mention ... I released a new version of byobu last night with a new feature from jbernard, "rcs_cost", a little status applet that estimates cost of the current session in Rackspace | 20:17 |

| soren | kirkland: You can usually deduce the instance creation time by checking the timestamp of /etc/crontab, and of network traffic, perhaps you could add a shutdown script that saves the traffic stats and count that as well? | 20:53 |

| kirkland | soren: fair enough, thanks for the info.... | 20:55 |
| kirkland | jbernard: can you take a look at that ^ | 20:55 |

| soren | If you really care that much about keeping your data safe, torch the bloody thing. | 21:24 |
| persia | soren: Ooh, nifty. I've been using trousers. Mind you, one has to actually generate audio for that, presumably by a random-skip algorithm. | 21:25 |
| soren | persia: Just plug in microphone. The background noise in any environment should provide plenty of entropy. | 21:26 |
| persia | soren: Ah, that's a good source indeed :) | 21:26 |
| Italian_Plumber | hmm... so I'm not srue what my answer is | 21:27 |
| * persia installs randomsound on the machine where the manufacturer *removed* the TPM chip in the newer models | 21:27 | |

| Italian_Plumber | this page http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/how-to-rapidly-clean-wipe-hard-disk-drive/ gives the same command for overwriting with "zeros" and "Random" | 21:29 |

| npope | persia: dban then napalm? | 21:37 |
| npope | :) | 21:37 |
| persia | npope: last time I had a need to destroy disks, we used a special device that first soaked them in a strong magnetic field, then electrocuted them, then smashed them onto several spikes, then crushed them into small cubes, and electrocuted them again. The results made handy paperweights. | 21:38 |
| ajmitch | that sounds like fun | 21:38 |
| persia | It was fun, although they only let me press the button once. | 21:39 |
| npope | that sounds like a blast | 21:39 |
| persia | It was about 2 quare meters of dedicated disk destructing machine. | 21:39 |
| persia | Err, 2 *cubic* meters. | 21:39 |
| soren | Every year at CeBIT there's a company (or more) that bring their disk annihilation machine. You can bring you disk and get it destroyed in a number of ways. The one I saw in use had a strong magnetic field and three big spikes that it poked through the disk. If people can get data from it afterwards, they deserve it, IMO. | 21:41 |
| Italian_Plumber | do you have to have some special status on launchpad to file a bug? I don't se ehow to do it | 21:46 |
| MTecknology | Anyone know where to request support for google apps? | 21:46 |
| RoyK | asking google? | 21:47 |
| Insyte | I destroy my disks the old fashioned way: Thermite. | 21:47 |
| MTecknology | RoyK: ya.. I just found gmail forums - might be what I need :) - I can't figure out why logcheck email isn't coming to me - exim logs seem to say that things are being sent just fine | 21:48 |
| soren | Insyte: That's probably overkill. A few hours at 280 degrees celcius in a regular oven should do it. | 21:48 |
| soren | Insyte: (A few hours to make sure it's hot all the way through. | 21:49 |
| RoyK | Insyte: even overwriting them once with zeros will kill stuff | 21:50 |
| RoyK | and you can use them for porn later | 21:50 |
| npope | RoyK++ | 21:50 |
| Insyte | Yes, but thermite is much more fun. | 21:50 |
| lifeless | why bother with the zeros | 21:50 |
| lifeless | shove em in a ceph array, and fill it with porn straight up | 21:50 |
| RoyK | /dev/urandom, then | 21:50 |
| lifeless | Italian_Plumber: you have to be logged in, thats all. | 21:51 |
| RoyK | /dev/porn | 21:51 |
| Insyte | I read an article a while back, I forget where, that basically said all of this "multiple overwrites" nonsense was pointless. | 21:51 |
| RoyK | Insyte: today it is | 21:51 |
| Insyte | No one was able to demonstrate that they could recover data after a single pass of overwrites. | 21:51 |
| RoyK | Insyte: today's drives are so tightly packed, a single overwrite destroys the data | 21:51 |
| kopfweh | is there a boot spash on lucid server or is it just me? | 21:52 |
| RoyK | Insyte: in the eighties and early ninetees, they could find the old data by using electron microscopes | 21:52 |
| Insyte | But PCI mandates that we render retired disks unreadable. I choose to interpret that as meaning: Melt them into a puddle with 4000F thermite. | 21:52 |
| amereservant | I'm curious about better understanding how cloud servers work.... Say I have two computers in a private cloud and I'm wanting to run Apache Server (overkill, I know) and host websites on them, what role does each computer in the cloud serve? Do they both simultaneously run Apache and hold the data? | 21:53 |
| RoyK | Insyte: how boring - just dd a bunch if shit over the partition table and they won't find out | 21:53 |
| Insyte | Boring?!? | 21:53 |
| Insyte | It's a blast! | 21:53 |
| RoyK | wasting good drives | 21:53 |
| RoyK | good for porn | 21:54 |
| Insyte | That's very old school. Isn't the new approach to just store your porn "In The Cloud(TM)"? | 21:54 |
| lifeless | amereservant: there are many deployments you could do | 21:56 |
| amereservant | lifeless: I gotcha. The main thing I'm trying to understand is the role of each computer in the cloud. | 21:56 |
| lifeless | amereservant: the simplest would be two differently configured apaches running different sites, getting the data off elastic mounted volumes, or a cluster fs | 21:57 |
| lifeless | amereservant: a more 'cloudy' approach would be a load balancer, and as many apache instances as you want, all dynamically configured and reading data from elastic / cluster fs | 21:57 |
| amereservant | lifeless: The idea of Cloud Servers/Computing is the computers "share" resources, right? | 21:58 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| lifeless | amereservant: no | 21:59 |
| lifeless | amereservant: the idea is simply that everything is a virtual machine, so you can stop and start and move it around really easily. | 21:59 |
| Insyte | amereservant: Cloud servers are just servers. | 21:59 |
| Insyte | amereservant: You just don't have to manage the infrastructure. | 22:00 |
| Insyte | Nothing magickal. | 22:00 |
| lifeless | amereservant: one consequence of that is that when you need only a fraction of a machine, you can put several vms on one machine [that the sharing], but its not usually a key element. | 22:00 |
| persia | Typically they are short-lived virtual servers with scripted configuration, rather than normal servers, but that's not that different. | 22:00 |
| amereservant | So then it's like a group of VPSs then? | 22:01 |
| Insyte | amereservant: Yes. | 22:01 |
| amereservant | Ahhhh, gotcha. | 22:01 |
| Insyte | With an API for setting them up / tearing them down. | 22:01 |
| amereservant | Yeah, I was seeing them all wrong. | 22:01 |
| amereservant | I was thinking it meant the servers were linked together and collaboratively working to serve content.... | 22:02 |
| Insyte | They can be, but it's not automatic. | 22:03 |
| Insyte | Just like normal servers can be all linked together and collaboratively serving content. | 22:03 |
| amereservant | Yeah, but that's complex I'm sure. A lot of factors and variables in that cookie jar. | 22:04 |
| Insyte | "The Cloud" is a BS term that's used to mean all sorts of things. | 22:04 |
| amereservant | I didn't realize it was also the same as using a machine to run multiple VPSs. | 22:04 |
| Insyte | The more specific terms are SaaS and IaaS. | 22:05 |
| Insyte | It's not *exactly* the same... there's generally a pretty significant software layer on top of that to allow for automatic provisioning / configuring / deprovisioning. | 22:05 |
| Insyte | So a smart IaaS rollout will expand as needed during periods of heavy use and then contract as things ramp back down. | 22:05 |
| Insyte | (To pick a popular example.) | 22:06 |
| amereservant | Insyte: So then what role does something like OpenVZ play? | 22:07 |
| amereservant | Because I was about to look into that and do some experimenting with it. | 22:07 |
| Insyte | That's one of the many technologies that could be used underneath all of the fancy APIs. | 22:07 |
| Insyte | Very approximately: OpenVZ == Xen == KVM == VMWare | 22:08 |
| electro_ | I am trying to register the Walrus service for UEC and I am getting a generic error on the web portal that says "Failed to save! (Check hostname and path.)" Where does it write to? I checked perms on /var/lib/eucalyptus/bukkits and it looks good | 22:08 |
| Insyte | *Very* approximately. | 22:08 |
| amereservant | Right, I've seen the VPS hosting where they offered both OpenVZ or Xen. | 22:08 |
| Insyte | Yeah, that's the software that lets you run virtual machines. | 22:09 |
| Insyte | I assume you're using Ubuntu... If so, KVM is the officially supported virtualization tech. | 22:09 |
| Insyte | Which means it's well tested and works out of the box. | 22:09 |
| Insyte | And Eucalyptus can sit on top of it as a "cloud" API. | 22:10 |
| amereservant | So is that something different/separate from the Cloud part or used "Instead of"? | 22:10 |
| Insyte | "As part of." | 22:10 |
| electro_ | you guys configuring UEC? | 22:10 |
| amereservant | Ahhh, so it's a two-part ordeal then. | 22:10 |
| Insyte | To provide cloud-like services, you need a virtualization layer. | 22:10 |
| Insyte | That can be OpenVZ, KVM, Xen, etc... | 22:10 |
| amereservant | electro_: Nah, I was just trying to better understand how UEC works. | 22:11 |
| Insyte | Heh... more than two, depending on how complex you want to get. | 22:11 |
| electro_ | amereservant: you and me both | 22:11 |
| electro_ | Insyte: have you installed UEC? | 22:11 |
| Insyte | Nope. | 22:11 |
| amereservant | LOL. | 22:11 |
| amereservant | He definitely understands it better than I did. | 22:11 |
| electro_ | I have one right now with a front end running CLC, SC, CC, Walrus, and 4 NCs | 22:12 |
| electro_ | but i cant seem to register the walrus service | 22:12 |
| electro_ | I can add it at the cli with the euca_conf | 22:12 |
| electro_ | but not from the web portal | 22:12 |
| Insyte | amereservant: Walk through the KVM and UEC HOWTOs. You'll understand it a lot better after you've played with it for an afternoon. | 22:12 |
| amereservant | Insyte: Thank you very much! You're explaining it will definitely help me comprehend what it's telling me and not just leave me confused. | 22:13 |
| morrowyn | how do i upgrade from 10.04 beta to release ? | 22:14 |
| amereservant | morrowyn: Just run your updates. | 22:14 |
| morrowyn | apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade should do the trick right? | 22:15 |
| amereservant | I'm not 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure it's not a distribution upgrade. | 22:16 |
| amereservant | Should just need apt-get update | 22:16 |
| mikelifeguard | In /etc/apache/sites-enabled, the filename is 000-default so it is loaded first right? So if I want to put new VirtualHosts in there, I should name the files in order. 000 for the catch-all; 001 for the default, >002 for the rest and so on, yes? | 22:18 |
| RoyK | mikelifeguard: NameVirtualHost should sort that out | 22:19 |
| RoyK | or ServerName | 22:19 |
| RoyK | just put new files in there | 22:19 |
| mikelifeguard | Well, it does matter what order they're in - Apache uses the first matching ServerName, AFAIK | 22:20 |
| amereservant | mikelifeguard: Yeah, that's just the default in the event no other ServerNames are matched. | 22:20 |
| mikelifeguard | ok, right | 22:20 |
| amereservant | mikelifeguard: It will only match the first one if none of the other VirtualHosts match. | 22:20 |
| mikelifeguard | yes, exactly :) | 22:21 |
| mikelifeguard | \o/ | 22:21 |

| === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates | ||
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, like: run testdrive, select any image to run, and see if its syncing or not | 22:22 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: now == lucid's package? | 22:22 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: http://people.canonical.com/~kirkland/Screenshot-Terminal.png | 22:23 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, yes. It doesn't seem to be testdrive issue, but it get's stuck here with no further message: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/424849/ | 22:23 |
| hggdh | RoAkSoAx: just found an issue with testdrive (and, perhaps, the way images are put available): I downloaded Xubuntu desktop, and then run td -- and td clobbered the xubuntu with standard Ubunut | 22:24 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: new code, old cod? | 22:25 |
| kirkland | hggdh: yep, it does that because cdimage calls the images the same thing | 22:25 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, new code... it was working few mins ago... now it doesn't so that's why Im pretty sure its not testdrive issue, it is rsyncing :S | 22:25 |
| hggdh | kirkland: indeed. We should try to find a way out of it | 22:25 |
| kirkland | hggdh: i've been meaning to talk to cjwatson or IS to see if there's something that could/should be done on cdimage's end, or if we need to hack it into testdrive | 22:25 |
| kirkland | hggdh: on target for maverick | 22:25 |
| hggdh | kirkland: I ran the OOM, got them, and am now running the -proposed | 22:26 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, i was planning to add support to list different flavors and syncing them from cdimage | 22:26 |
| hggdh | RoAkSoAx: makes sense, the the basic problem is different images have the same name. If cjwatson buys it (which I hope he does) this can be fixed at the source | 22:27 |
| hggdh | otherwise we have to hack it in (directory structure, probably) | 22:28 |
| kirkland | hggdh: right, i'm hoping it's an easy, non-controversial change on the cdimage server end | 22:28 |
| kirkland | hggdh: if not, we can work our way around it | 22:29 |
| RoAkSoAx | yep, i was just planing on hack the way around it | 22:29 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: so when's your next code drop? | 22:30 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: i'd like to see bits at a time; makes it easier to review | 22:30 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: try to keep it functional, though, all along the way | 22:30 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, anyways, my issue is fixed. Seems it was issue with cdimage. | 22:30 |
| kirkland | k | 22:31 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, I'm just cleaning up a little bit, doing some improvements to the modularization so that you can review it | 22:31 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: great | 22:31 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: we should make a list of "acceptance tests", the things we make sure continue to work, from release to release | 22:31 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: have you tried it with virtualbox yet, for instance? | 22:32 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, not yet... I'm just doing everything with KVM for now. since I wanna first test all the current features with KVM and then do the same with virtualbox | 22:32 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland, would a netbook run virtualbox? It should right? | 22:34 |
| erichammond | smoser: I'm trying to build the EBS boot Karmic/Hardy AMIs and think I'm running into the Lucid download craze today. | 22:35 |

| erichammond | smoser: Any chance you have a copy somewhere else I could use? | 22:36 |
| hggdh | RoAkSoAx: if it runs KVM, it will run VBox. | 22:38 |
| RoAkSoAx | hggdh, netbooks can't run KVM AFAIK | 22:38 |
| hggdh | RoAkSoAx: still a bit of hope: vBox is not as stringent. But I sort of doubt, though | 22:39 |
| * hggdh does not have a netbook... | 22:40 | |
| RoAkSoAx | hggdh, well I can normally run VBox on machines without VT, which is good for old machines... anyways, I'll just give it a try since I'm gonna take one isntead of my laptop | 22:40 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: definitely | 22:47 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: you can run it along side kvm | 22:47 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: just sudo stop qemu-kvm | 22:47 |
| kopfweh | how can i deactivate the boot splash in lucid server? | 22:54 |
| pmatulis | kopfweh: what version of GRUB are you using? | 23:03 |
| kopfweh | installed lycid lynx right now | 23:03 |
| pmatulis | kopfweh: edit /etc/default/grub. see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 23:03 |
| kopfweh | thanx | 23:04 |
| kopfweh | another question: i have the problem that the boot stops when there is a problem in the fstab and waits till i press s. but this is a little problem for me because i'm using the server with ssh | 23:06 |
| jaypur | how can i upgrade my server to 10.4 with sudo apt-get ??? | 23:06 |
| jaypur | i think it's not working | 23:06 |
| pmatulis | jaypur: don't do that. use 'do-release-upgrade' | 23:09 |
| jaypur | pmatulis, now its working | 23:09 |
| jaypur | thanks | 23:09 |

| MTecknology | I think this is funny.. I get >50 UFW blocks a second from somebody that seems to think that this server has SMTP. They're apparently not even smart enough to check MX records.... Seems like they think changing IP's changes the fact that there's no SMTP server there. | 23:10 |
| pmatulis | kopfweh: what is the error? | 23:10 |
| MTecknology | This has been goin on for weeks, I'm starting to think I should maybe call the offenders ISP which isn't even masked.. | 23:11 |
| kopfweh | pmatulis: i disconnected the datadisk and have an entry in the fstab for the disk | 23:12 |
| kopfweh | pmatulis: i just want it to ignore such errors | 23:12 |
| pmatulis | kopfweh: what is the error? | 23:12 |
| MTecknology | Is there any easy way to add a UFW rule that drops the packet and doesn't log but keeps logging everything else? | 23:13 |
| KristianDK | Hello - is there an amazon image of the new 10.04 available at the moment? | 23:13 |
| jdstrand | MTecknology: what version of Ubuntu are you using? | 23:13 |
| MTecknology | KristianDK: yup | 23:13 |
| MTecknology | jdstrand: 10.04 | 23:13 |
| KristianDK | MTecknology, i couldnt find anything official | 23:14 |
| MTecknology | jdstrand: err... 9.10 on that system - I'll be upgrading saturday | 23:14 |
| kopfweh | pmautils: The disk .... is not ready yet or not present. I get this error during boot and the boot stops there till i press S to skip the error | 23:14 |
| KristianDK | MTecknology, do have any id or something so i can find the image you are reffering to? | 23:14 |
| kopfweh | pmautils: is it possible that such errors are ignored during boot? | 23:15 |
| jdstrand | MTecknology: add an explicit deny rule rather than letting it hit your policy | 23:15 |
| pmatulis | kopfweh: it really depends on the exact error. normally you should not have errors stemming from fstab | 23:15 |
| MTecknology | KristianDK: Give me a minute so I can try to find that email - I thought in the announcement it said that was available | 23:15 |
| jdstrand | MTecknology: that will work going back to hardy | 23:16 |
| MTecknology | jdstrand: how do I do that? | 23:16 |
| jdstrand | ufw deny ... | 23:16 |
| KristianDK | MTecknology, thanks :) | 23:16 |
| MTecknology | KristianDK: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2010-April/000133.html | 23:16 |
| MTecknology | jdstrand: that's it... way too easy :) | 23:16 |
| jdstrand | :) | 23:16 |
| MTecknology | awesome.. | 23:17 |
| MTecknology | KristianDK: I'm gonna run now - any other questions (or if I was wrong) - much smarter people than I in here to answer | 23:17 |
| kopfweh | pmatulis: i know that the problem is that disc for the entry in the fstab is not present. i just want the server not to stop at this error and boot anyways | 23:20 |
| pmatulis | kopfweh: so comment out the line if the disk isn't there | 23:21 |
| pmatulis | kopfweh: or put option 'noauto' i believe | 23:21 |
| kopfweh | pmatulis: but i want it to be automatically mounted on boot when it is connected | 23:22 |
| kopfweh | pmatulis: server 9.10 just ignored the error and booted | 23:23 |
| pmatulis | kopfweh: i see | 23:23 |
| pmatulis | kopfweh: maybe if you paste the exact error | 23:23 |
| pmatulis | kopfweh: what kind of device is it? | 23:24 |
| * pmatulis trots off to the local Lucid release party | 23:26 | |
| kopfweh | pmatulis: 3 usb disks. during boot it stops with a purple screen which says that this usb disk can't be mounted. (because it isnt connected) but my only problem is that the boot stops there and i cannot login with ssh. so i just want to skip this error message | 23:27 |
| tag | --devel-release ? | 23:28 |
| tag | so my 8.04 server is trying to upgrade to intrepid for some reason. | 23:28 |
