RoAkSoAxkirkland: this is what I wanna do: First, have a loadbalancer that is listening in the network. Then start a webserver that will tell the loadbalancer "This is my IP address, register me". 3. Loadbalancer will grab the IP and add the webserver to its config.00:12
RoAkSoAxkirkland: so, as far as I understand, uec-component-listener, would be my listener in my first step, correct?00:13
kirklandRoAkSoAx: right, that's the listening piece, that handles registering a new component00:18
kirklandRoAkSoAx: see also the debian/*publication*00:19
kirklandRoAkSoAx: that's what broadcasts to the network that "i'm a eucalyptus thing, up and ready to be registered"00:19
LowValueTargethow do i run apt-get to only include security updates00:21
RoAkSoAxkirkland: awesome. That would be my webserver announcing that they are up and running and ready for registration...00:21
RoAkSoAxkirkland: now, how are the registration scripts in debian/registration/{cluster,common,node,etc} used or "called" whenever the listener obtains a broadcast00:22
RoAkSoAx(and I do believe those are the ones that actually register the nodes into the cluster, correct?)00:23
coofbarif I can choose between xen-hvm and xen-pvm for a linux guest - which one should I use?00:28
LowValueTargetare there any other secure alternatives to puppet?00:28
bluethundrI have added some of the repos that I saw on launchpad.net but every time I add one the result is the same : Could not resolve 'mirrors.ccs.neu.edu' or whatever.. what am I doing wrong here? http://pastebin.com/2HzVMnq700:35
RoAkSoAxkirkland: i got how it runs the scripts, with ACTIONS_DIR. Now, however, if i *just* compile uec-component-listener.c and run it, and then from another server, i just send a avahi broadcast, it should work right?00:37

lyraeHi. Ubuntu desktop detected my NIC and internet worked fine, but the server edition didn't. what can i do01:36
slacksterlyrae: 10.04 the both of them?01:39
lyraeslackster, correct01:39
lyraethe server gave error during DHCP configuration. so i clicked to skip and set it up later01:40
slacksterdo you have more than one NIC?01:41
slackster(just looking for something simple)01:42
lyraeslackster, no01:42
lyraeit's also a netbook, if that matters any01:42
slacksterare you trying to connect wirelessly?01:43
lyraeslackster, yes01:44
slacksterhave you installed a desktop environment?01:44
lyraeslackster, gui? no01:44
lyraei don't think the server edition comes with one anyhow01:45
slacksterit doesn't01:45
lyraeright01:45
slacksterbut it would make connecting wirelessly easier01:45
slacksteryou have to do it all manually01:45
slacksterthe reason it didn't connect is it doesn't know what to connect to, and if there is authorization/password required01:46
slacksterlet me see if I can find someting..01:46
lyraeslackster, but i dont even think it detected a NIC01:47
slacksterthis should get you started: http://www.wirelessdefence.org/Contents/LinuxWirelessCommands.htm01:47
lyraelet me show you a screenshot first, and tell me if it looks right (will be able to make it work)01:48
lyraeof iwconfig01:48
slacksterlyrae: what are the results of ifconfig? do you see somthing like "wlan0"01:48
lyraenot for ifconfig, for iwconfig yes01:48
lyraeshowing you screenshot, one sec01:48
lyraeslackster, http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/5117/photogp.jpg01:49
slacksteruse wlan001:50
slackstersee my previous link01:50
lyraeslackster, i am. thank you01:51
slacksternp01:51
lyraeslackster, the first part didnt work. tryijng out second one (manually)01:53
slacksteryou need to do something like "iwconfig wlan0 essid [wirelessnetworkname]01:55
lyraei tried. still trying. one sec01:55
slacksterthen iwconfig key [key]01:55
slacksteretc01:55
slacksteriwconfig wlan0 key [key]*01:55
slacksternot something you have to worry about with a netbook01:56
slacksterif I were you I would just install desktop edition, then kill gnome when you don't want it01:58
slacksterwith something like sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop01:59
lyraeyea i might because this isn't working02:01
lyraei can't even iwlist scan. says netowrk is down02:01
lyraebut installing regular ubuntu with a DE adds more stuff to it02:01
lyraewanted to keep the netbook ... 'light'02:02
slacksterjust stop gdm when you don't want it02:02
lyraebut it comes with a bunch of other packages too02:02
lyraemaybe i could try plugging the netbook to an ethernet cable during installation02:03
lyraedo an update and see if wireless work02:03
slacksterinstall gnome-lite (think that's available) on top of the server install then02:03
lyraeslackster, or xfce?02:04
slacksteroh.. looks like gnome lite is a FreeBSD thing02:04
slacksterlyrae: you could.. I don't know if you're trying to avoid excess packages or what.02:05
slacksterbut yes xfce is light02:05
slacksterthere is a netbook edition of ubuntu also.. I haven't looked at it though02:05
lyraeyes i was trying to avoid as much as possible. but its alright. ill try xfce02:05

twb"pointer record (RFC 1035) - Pointer to a canonical name. Unlike a CNAME, DNS processing does NOT proceed, just the name is returned. The most common use is for implementing reverse DNS lookups, but other uses include such things as DNS-SD."06:11

NonpythonIf my server's IP is 69.175.115.18, what do put as my PTR record?06:21
twbNonpython: if you don't know what to put, you probably don't need a PTR record.06:22

soren"the package" == python-cloudservers. cloudfiles is a different kettle of fish.13:42
soren..and my sponsor is reluctant to change it.13:42
sorenPython packaging policy says that the module name should be used for the package name.13:42
sorenSince we didn't (thank goodness!) change the module name (i.e. you still do "import cloudservers" to use it), the correct package name is "python-cloudservers".13:43

sh1nyryoohki, when you get to grub, press e on the kernel line and remove "quiet splash" from that line ( it's at the end )18:21
ryoohkish1ny: this is an apt-get issue18:21
ryoohkish1ny: it has nothing to do with booting18:22
danliipmatulis: No. But actually, I just got it working. I just booted with the older kernel still left in grub... Thanks anyway. :)18:22
sh1nyryoohki, i thought you said you can't get a shell after boot ?18:22
ryoohkish1ny: wrong person18:22
sh1nyah sorry, ryoohki18:23

ryoohkidanlii: normally it's in /etc/inittab but ubuntu does it differntly18:35
ryoohkidanlii: try looking at /etc/default/rc-sysinit and /etc/init/*tty*18:35
ryoohkican anyone share a pristine /etc/apt/sources.list from a u.s.a. system?18:36
jpdsryoohki: For?18:36
sh1nyryoohki, http://paste.ubuntu.com/435657/18:37
sh1nyit's from bulgarian just replace bg.archive with archive18:37
sh1nyand it will work18:37
ryoohkijpds: i used apt-cdrom which overwrites /etc/apt/sources( rather than make use of "#" commenting)18:37
billybigriggeranyone familiar with tweaking nfs?18:37
ryoohkibillybigrigger: a little.  what's the problem?18:38
jpdsryoohki: For which release, sorry?18:38
sh1nyryoohki, other than that it's stock sources.list18:38
ryoohkijpds: 10.0418:39
JanCthe default archive points to servers in the UK, maybe there are faster servers in the US ?18:39
jpdsJanC: Yes; I'm getting at that. ;)18:39
jpdsryoohki: http://paste.ubuntu.com/435662/ should be fine.18:39
billybigriggerryoohki, what is a good speed for an nfs transfer over gige network? transfers are from sata/sata disks18:40
axisysi had to use ethtool to force the interface to full duplex because the old switch at work does not support autoneg.. how do I make sure this change survives the reboot ?18:40
billybigriggerryoohki, nautilus is reporting 62mb/s just wondering if i can squeeze anymore out of it18:40
ryoohkibillybigrigger: i don't know18:40
CitrateDoes anyone have experience with installing xen on 9.10?18:41
jpdsryoohki: The ANL mirror is based near Chicago, if you want a geographically closer mirror I can make suggestions.18:42
ryoohkiso it's look like there is no u.s.a. pristine sources.list for 10.04 since i have a bulgarian one and an edited on18:45
ryoohkish1ny: thanks18:45
jpdsryoohki: Well, you can use us.archive.u.c, but that's based in London.18:45
sh1nyryoohki, you're welcome18:46
ryoohkijpds: i just want an unedited one from a u.s.a. install18:46

mcasi just unpack the deb and copy the binarys to the right place19:31
mcasi use mc for that19:31

sh1nyhey binBASH ! :)19:34
sh1nyTheravadan, http://hwraid.le-vert.net/19:35
binBASHI fixed the cloud yesterday btw.19:35
binBASH:)19:35
sh1nygreat !19:35
binBASHreinstalled the cloud master then it worked fine19:35
sh1nyis it better than centos ?19:35
binBASHmuch19:35
binBASH;)19:35
sh1nywhat i never get to wrap my brain around is19:36
sh1nywhat happens if one node goes down19:36
sh1nyand can i run the nodes on top of let's say heartbeat or rhcs cluster19:36
sh1nyso i get failover and stuff19:36
binBASHnode is just a normal server19:36
sh1nyyes, but when it fails, then what ?19:36
binBASHthen the image is gone ;)19:37
sh1nyexactly :/19:37
sh1nyTheravadan, and also are you sure you're not trying to install a 32bit binary on a 64bit os ?19:37
Theravadanmcas, heh "rpm2cpio package.rpm | cpio -dimv" worked but I'll follow sh1ny's advice preferably then use the files in the .rpm package as plan B19:39
sh1nyTheravadan, i got it working on 2 servers with LSI raids just fine19:39
Theravadansh1ny, the .rpm file contains a 64 bit binary which worked19:39
binBASHsh1ny: The hardest thing here is, my provider restricts usage of ip addresses.19:39
binBASHthey are bound to the mac address of the eth019:39
Theravadansh1ny, what did you get working exactly? megacli?19:39
sh1nyTheravadan, i even did configure the raid with it and it didnt make things blow up the sky19:39
sh1nyTheravadan, yes :)19:39
binBASHso I have a non standard Eucalyptus setup here19:40
mcasTheravadan: i use some debs for my way but have some dependencies which won't work19:40
binBASHone dhcpd per node19:40

Theravadansh1ny, that's a bonus.. how did you get megacli? download it from lsi?19:40
sh1nyTheravadan, nope, from that site i gave you19:40
Theravadansh1ny, nice ok investigating19:40
sh1nyTheravadan, i installed jaunty packages on karmic and they worked fine, not sure with lucid, but you could try the debian/squeeze ones19:40
sh1nyTheravadan, still better than rpm's19:41
Theravadansh1ny, i have a brand new lsi card so we will see19:41

binBASHso if node goes down with eg. webserver it's np19:46
sh1nybinBASH, ah, so you'll loadbalance with that ? :)19:46
sh1nyhm good thinking19:46
sh1nyTheravadan, and i'd recommend using gdebi to install stuff like that19:46
sh1nyTheravadan, dpkg does less checking and more breaking :)19:47
Theravadansh1ny, ok thx19:47
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: let's discuss it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow so I can draft what I was thinking a little bit better19:47
sh1nybinBASH, unfortunately i can't get away like that :(19:47
binBASHsh1ny: Sad ;)19:48
sh1nybinBASH, and i think i'll go straight for a cluster and not a cloud19:48
SpamapSRoAkSoAx: sounds good.. I'm still looking at HAproxy and how feasible it is to do with it, what I was originally thinking to do w/ IPVS (which may prove too complicated, given the IPTUN requirement)19:48
binBASHsh1ny: Well we host some sites of gettyimages.com19:48
binBASHand they want cloud structure.19:48
sh1nyuhm no databases involved ?19:48
binBASHsure19:49
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: for what I know, HAProxy implementation is like IPVS DR implementation, so that means, in the same network19:49
sh1nybut they're not on the cloud ?19:49
ryoohkidoes anyone here have a pristine copy of a u.s.a. /etc/apt/sources.list from a fresh install of 10.04 i can get a copy of?19:49
* sh1ny hides19:49
binBASHsh1ny: they'll be in the cloud19:49
binBASHbut replicated19:49
sh1nyaha19:50
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: now, we need to define if we want a layer 4 or layer 7 loadbalancing. If it is layer 4, it might be faster (IPVS), if we go for layer 7 (HAProxy), it would not only mean loadbalancing, but proxying19:50
SpamapSRoAkSoAx: hm thats interesting.. the way I was reading it its more like a traditional proxy19:50
binBASHtheir main demand is to have much cpu power, for video processing19:50
sh1nywell i still think i'll try cloud over cluster, when i get my hands on enough hardware :P19:50
binBASH:)19:50
binBASHsh1ny: You run mysql?19:50
mathiazSpamapS: RoAkSoAx: IIRC the use case is layer 7 http loadbalancer19:51
sh1nyi got a book on xenHA with heartbeat ( for free from the author ) and it doesnt seem so hard, so i should be able to apply it to eucalyptus nodes :P19:51
sh1nybinBASH, not if it's up to me19:51
sh1ny<- pgsql fan :/19:51
SpamapSRoAkSoAx: The biggest difficulty with using IPVS in the cloud is that they will not necessarily share physical LAN or even the same subnet.. so we have to assume that a loadbalancer <-> server connection must be established. With HAproxy, that is natural.. with IPVS.. IPTUN has to happen first.19:51
binBASHok ;)19:51
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: and for example, in case we want to add a second loadbalancer in HAProxy, (for failover) we need to use keepalived, which can be used aswell with IPVS19:51
sh1nybut my company has a "homegrown" software19:51
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: indeed19:51
sh1nysomething like ERP19:51
binBASHok19:51
sh1nythat's just baddly written and uses mysql19:52
Theravadansh1ny, did you use anything other than megacli from that link?19:52
SpamapSmathiaz: yeah, I think we got side-tracked w/ IPVS because of the persistence discussion, but HAproxy has excellent support for persistence.19:52
sh1nyso i'm forced to :P19:52
binBASH:))19:52
RoAkSoAxmathiaz: if we want layer7 loadbalacing, HAproxy is our solution19:52
binBASHHow you achieve HA there sh1ny?19:52
binBASHusing mysql cluster?19:52
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: indeed, I'd also think that if we need specialized HTTP loadbalacing, we should go for HAProxy19:52
sh1nyuhm no HA for it atm19:52
mathiazSpamapS: RoAkSoAx: we're looking at providing an image that could do the same thing as AWS Elastic Load balancing19:52
sh1nythey still havent optimized their db calls19:53
sh1nyso they create a mess19:53
RoAkSoAxmathiaz: the loadbalancing is not the issue. The issue is autoscaling features19:53
SpamapSmathiaz: yes I think that was also lost in the discussion we had19:53
Theravadanmathiaz, eucalyptus hq is just down the street from me19:53
SpamapSmathiaz: looking into that tho, we have to create a tool to automatically edit haproxy's configs..19:53
Theravadani could knock on their door for you19:53
sh1nyand i told them no HA until they fix the damn 99.9 loadavg every 3-4 hours :P19:53
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: I was thinking on autoregistration of a webserver to a loadbalancing domain, and when that happens, loadbalancer (HAProxy) adds it automatically its config. I need to look into HA Proxy first though19:54
sh1nyTheravadan, not really, tho megacli-status should work19:54
SpamapSRoAkSoAx: seen this: http://code.google.com/p/scalr/ ?19:54
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: since I don't really know how healthchecking works in HAProxy.19:54
mathiazRoAkSoAx: elastic load balancing doesn't provide auto scaling19:54
mathiazRoAkSoAx: auto scaling is another component19:55
=== Russ is now known as Russ|Out
SpamapShttp://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/ ....19:55
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: scalr insteresting will look at it.19:55
SpamapSElastic Load Balancing can detect the health of Amazon EC2 instances. When it detects unhealthy load-balanced Amazon EC2 instances, it no longer routes traffic to those Amazon EC2 instances instead spreading the load across the remaining healthy Amazon EC2 instances.19:55
sh1nySpamapS, which doesn't mean it launches new instances ? :)19:56
RoAkSoAxmathiaz: I do understand that, but as nijaba mentioned, a feature that is really desired is autoscaling because customers are asking for it19:56
SpamapSyeah not quite auto-scaling19:56
Theravadansh1ny, http://hwraid.le-vert.net/ubuntu/pool-jaunty/megaclisas-status_0.5_all.deb ? that seemd to work but it's megaclisas-status19:56
mathiazRoAkSoAx: right - auto scaling is much bigger and requires other components to be in place first19:56
sh1nyTheravadan, yes yes, that one, sorry i am lazy on typing details :(19:56
mathiazRoAkSoAx: (ex all the monitoring infrastructure)19:57
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: healthchecking in regular cluster solutions, such as ldirectord or ipvsadm can also be done in several ways and in several degrees, if the healthchecking fails, the webserver is removed from the loadbalancing cluster19:57
SpamapSbut later on that page..19:57
SpamapS"Auto Scaling with Elastic Load Balancing19:57
SpamapSLet’s say that you want to make sure that the number of healthy Amazon EC2 instances behind an Elastic Load Balancer is never fewer than two. You can use Auto Scaling to set these conditions, and when Auto Scaling detects that a condition has been met, it automatically adds the requisite amount of Amazon EC2 instances to your Auto Scaling Group."19:57
sh1nySpamapS, if you're ready to spend money on a cloud, i'd recommend using rightscale with amazon, the guys over there are really nice and they saved me a lot of headache :)19:58
=== Russ|Out is now known as Russ
RoAkSoAxmathiaz: for example, if I wnated to implemented autoscaling in a regular cluster implementation (either keepavelid+ipvsadm or ipvsadm+ldirectord+pacemaker), the only thing I need to do is when webserver is started, it needs to tell the loadbalancer that it is up and running and ready to receive load, then loadbalancer would add that server to the loadbalancing domain19:58

Theravadansh1ny, do you have a BBU? I want to see if it's actually running and caching writes.  megacli -AdpAllInfo -a0 says it's there but not sure how to see if it's caching.. i can call the manufacturer19:59
SpamapSsh1ny: you can do commercials, as long as they work like the commercials in The Invention of Lying .. "Coke.. its really just brown sugar water, but a lot of people drink it. Thats right, COKE, Its really famouse."19:59
sh1nyi don't have a BBU :/ i did turn read cache on tho19:59
sh1nyTheravadan, megacli -LDInfo -LAll -aAll19:59
sh1nyTheravadan, i believe that's what you're looking for20:00
RoAkSoAxmathiaz: in *regular* clsuter infrastructure, the monitoring (healthchecking) is already implemented... whjy implemente something else from scratch if it is already there... we can just adapt it for our needs or extend its functionality20:00
sh1nySpamapS, :D :)20:00
sh1nynote taken :))20:00
sh1nyTheravadan, ok i lied, seems i have turned on the write cache without a BBU20:01
uvirtbotNew bug: #582443 in openssh (main) "Syslog socket missing from chroot." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/58244320:01
sh1nyTheravadan, i'll go cry in the corner20:01
sh1nyTheravadan, http://paste.ubuntu.com/435695/ :F20:01
RoAkSoAxmathiaz: so for example, in ldirectord+ipvsadm+pacemaker, ldirectord is the one who determines if the webservers are ready to receive load or not, in case the healthcheck failed, it tells IPVS that the server is not to receive load, and is removed from the node list that will receive load.20:02
RoAkSoAxmathiaz: that moniutoring is done in various ways, One way is just check if port 80 for example is open, another way is that it checks for a fail accessible through HTTP, other way is request specific data content in a file of the webserver20:03
cybrocopHi All. I wonder if someone has gotten Eucalyptus to work on 10.04?20:03
sh1nycybrocop, i believe binBASH had, unless he's been lying to me !20:03
cybrocopIt is driving me crazy for a week now.20:04
sh1nyhm, sounds like my girlfriend20:04
SpamapSRoAkSoAx: UP/DOWN checks are easy. I think what Mathias is discussing is more collective checks. "If total system load is at 80%, spawn X instances"20:04
cybrocop:)20:04
cybrocopI get it installed OK and all seems fine, but when I try to create Windows 2003 images and try to upload them, I get this weird error...20:04
Theravadansh1ny, you were faster than support, i see writeback cache is the current policy yay20:05
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: That's actually something that ivoks said as a cool feature for loadbalancing20:05
cybrocop"Image registration failed because the manifest referenced is invalid or unavailable."20:05

uvirtbotsh1ny: Error: "_^" is not a valid command.20:08
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: and well that's totally something different from loadbalacing itself20:08
SpamapSryoohki: in the referenced movie, people aren't able to say things that aren't true.. they haven't evolved lying yet. So they couldn't say "is really delicious" without qualifying it. In that parallel universe, you can't even imply something that is untrue.. so ugly people all dress poorly, while attractive people dress well...20:08
sh1ny ^_^20:08
sh1nysorry uvirtbot :(20:08
SpamapSRoAkSoAx: right, it is in essence a signal for an event engine that should drive actions, because you also want "Total system load is under 40%, reduce instances"20:09
sh1nyTheravadan, actually after looking again my zabbix script is using megasasctl20:09
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: yep. That I think is a work-item for the spec. Another work item is autoregistration20:09
sh1nyTheravadan, i do a megasasctl -H -B and it returns ok if no ouput and "YOU'RE ABOUT TO LOOSE YOUR JOB" if anything gets printed20:09
Theravadansh1ny, how did you get "Disk Cache Policy: Enabled" and why did you say you would cry?20:10
Theravadansh1ny, lol nice20:10
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: because given load 80%, signal can be sent to say "start webserver in domain A, mount point B" and then webserver will start and use autoregistration, and the same will happen if user would like to start another webserver instance manually20:10
sh1nyTheravadan, well usually it's a bad thing to enable write cache with writeback when no BBU, or so i've been told20:10
sh1nyTheravadan, power failure might cause data loss20:10
SpamapSRoAkSoAx: would make sense to copy elastic LB's M.O. with an  elb-register-instances-with-lb compatible command..20:10
Owner_does anyone uses tightvnc?20:10
Theravadansh1ny, oh yeah, that could be bad. so you explictly enabled writeback?20:11
ttxSpamapS: questions about the spec writing ?20:11
sh1nyTheravadan, but i'm relying on that dual power supply i got connected to two separate ups's20:11
ttxSpamapS: for the sync/merging process, I'll let your mentor explain that to you20:11
sh1nyTheravadan, raid6 aint't the fastest thing around :(20:11
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: it will, but if there's a command no "autoregistration" would be needed from the webserver because you would be already passing the parameters to the webserver20:12
RoAkSoAxSpamapS: and telling the loadbalancer to add that webserver you are instancing20:12
sh1nywith that i can get 130Mb/s writes and around 200Mb/s reads20:12
SpamapSttx: I'll prepare any questions and email them to you directly, since I'm sure you are about ready to end your day. :)20:12
sh1nyTheravadan, but unless you have *really* good backups and at least two power supplies i wouldn't recommend it without a BBU20:13
ttxSpamapS: that's a wrong assumption. I surrendered my Tuesday nightlife to my job.20:13
ttxSpamapS: so i'm looking for easy things to do for the next hour and a half, and explaining things is easy :)20:14
sh1nyTheravadan, but i have and i only run virtual machines on that, so restoring takes less than 20 minutes so i don't really care...and for 1 year i had 0 troubles so i'll just go along with this till it works ;)20:14
SpamapSttx: very well then, let me just finish reading.20:14
ttxSpamapS: sure20:14
Theravadansh1ny, my power is stable so I understand20:15
Theravadansh1ny, i have "Disk Cache Policy: Disabled" ... i assume this is referring to the read cache?20:16
sh1nyTheravadan, yes20:17
sh1nyTheravadan, you can enable it with megacli20:17
sh1nyTheravadan, http://hwraid.le-vert.net/wiki/LSIMegaRAIDSAS it's here somewhere20:18
zulSpamapS: ttx has no life20:18
sh1nyzul, that was harsh :(20:18
Theravadansh1ny, thx20:19
sh1nybtw Theravadan are you doing this on lucid ?20:20
Theravadansh1ny, yes20:20
sh1nyhm good to know it works, my servers are still on karmic and will be till mid-summer ....lazy and careful on updating20:21
Theravadansh1ny, i understand, it has taken me a month and i still havent migrated over from the old centos server to this new ubuntu server, i'm cautious20:21
Theravadanso glad not to use centos, yech20:22
sh1nyi'm using centos on some virtual guests20:22
sh1nybut i wouldnt install it on the host ....mostly because it will take time for me to get familiar with it20:22
Theravadansh1ny, my problem w/ it is the packages are really old20:22
SpamapSttx: ok so the spec explanation seems fairly straight forward. And from the discussion, as I understand it, the implementation should be stated as work items.. yes?20:23
sh1nyTheravadan, sometimes in ubuntu newer packages might cause a pain20:23
Owner_ok any good free VNC ?? can anyone help me set it up?20:23
sh1nyTheravadan, for example i did a test upgrade on my puppet server20:23
sh1nyTheravadan, so many things went wrong, i don't know even where to begin with20:23
Theravadansh1ny, yikes.. i did a test upgrade from 9.10 and 8.04 to 10.04 without problems20:24
Theravadansh1ny, what kinda problems? package problems, did you have 3rd party .deb's?20:24
sh1nyTheravadan, yes ubuntu itself is fine, just puppet breaks stuff , aaand it has a nasty bug when used with ruby 1.8.720:24
ttxSpamapS: yes.20:24
sh1nyTheravadan, and lucid happens to ship with ruby 1.8.720:25
ttxSpamapS: you should work on those where you are set as "Drafter"20:25
ttxSpamapS: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/+specs?role=drafter20:25
ttx(quite empty now)20:25
sh1nyTheravadan, other than that i don't foresee any problems going 9.10 -> 10.0420:25
ttxSpamapS: I asked Jos to confirm some of those. I think you can safely start with    server-maverick-uds-web20-workloads20:26
sh1nyTheravadan, but there are occasional packages that break backwards compatibility20:26
cybrocopOwner_: try TightVNC20:26
ttxSpamapS: and    server-maverick-uds-cloud-loadbalancing20:26
=== Owner_ is now known as wizardslovak
sh1nyTheravadan, from release to release and depending on how important they are for you, it might cause major pain20:26
wizardslovakcybrocop : i tried i couldnt connect to it20:26
RoyKTheravadan: I have a couple of test systems upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 - works well - I also have a production system on 10.04 - works well20:26
ttxSpamapS: for the others I'll soon confirm who drafts them20:26
RoyKTheravadan: I'd still wait a few months before upgrading critical servers from 8.04, though20:27
TheravadanRoyK well I have no problems going from 8.04 and 9.10 so I'm migrating everything over to 10.04 right now20:29
sh1nyRoyK, well my only 8.04's are the zimbra servers i have and i'm stuck with them until they release zimbra for 10.0420:29
TheravadanI'm aggressive like that, usually it pays off20:29
cybrocopwizardslovak/Owner_: If you installed tightvnc and it can't connect to the server that means there is something wrong with either the network or the server. Did you install a VNC server on the other end and is it configured properly?20:29
RoyKsh1ny: indeed20:29
sh1nyRoyK, we adopted ubuntu instead of debian right after 8.10, so we went the 6 months releases till 10.0420:30
RoyKhttp://karlsbakk.net/top-16-2.png <-- nice box20:30
SpamapSttx: ok, and for the work items.. they don't have any assigned value per-se right? So each one in the burndown is considered equal to another?20:30
wizardslovakwell i installed it and opened ports in ufw and router20:30
wizardslovakstill i am getting "cannot conenct to server" error20:30
wizardslovakalthoutgh when i tried "/etc/init.d/vncserver restart it says it didnt find it20:30
sh1nybut upgrading every 6 months is getting cumbersome20:31
RoyKsh1ny: use LTS releases20:31
sh1nyRoyK, that's the plan, starting with 10.04 ;)20:31
ttxSpamapS: yes, they should be worth 0.5-2.5 days of work20:31
RoyK8.04 is LTS20:31
RoyKsh1ny: 8.04 should probably work well for at least another three years20:31
sh1nyyes, but we decided we will go for 8.10 and 9.04 for many reasons20:31
Theravadanhow do i convert a 10.04 system to LTS, edit a file and have the value be "lts" instead of prompt?20:32
cybrocopRoyK: CPU1 is at 0.3% system utilization. Need to do something about that?20:32
RoyKTheravadan: 10.04 _is_ LTS20:32
sh1nyTheravadan, it's just lts, no need to do anything20:32
RoyKcybrocop: hehe20:32
Theravadansh1ny, so when 10.09 comes out it won't upgrade?20:32
RoyKcybrocop: load varies, but the box chews ash quite well20:32
Theravadanwhat if I wanted a machine to upgrade to 10.09?20:32
RoyKTheravadan: you can set the machine to lts or normal upgrades20:33
TheravadanRoyK got it... that is what I was getting at20:33
SpamapSTheravadan: 10.10 btw. ;)20:33
Theravadanah 10.1020:33
RoyKTheravadan: see /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades20:34
TheravadanRoyK: thx20:34
sh1nyRoyK, when i got hired by my current employer, they had problems with updating debian servers, since we have more than 150 of those, and they wanted latest stuff with auto-updates of security20:34
sh1nyRoyK, so i suggested sticking to 6 monthies till 10.04 then sticking with that for 2 years20:34
RoyKsounds reasonalbe20:35
RoyKreasonable, even20:35
sh1nyaaand they wanted me to replace xen with something and kvm isnt that good in hardy20:35
RoyKis it good in lucid?20:35
sh1nyway better20:36
RoyKwe have a piece of crap xenserver running20:36
RoyKwould be nice to replace that with something proper20:36
Theravadansh1ny, that is what i'm doing, in order to get some new packages i need for bucardo. But I may need even newer packages in the future thus it's nice that I can go off of LTS if I really want to.20:36
sh1nytho i still have to see if it improves with guests that are acting as samba file servers20:36
sh1nyTheravadan, from what i learned20:36
RoyKimho stuff like file servers shouldn't be VMs20:36
sh1nyRoyK, the client is always right :(20:37
RoyKfile servers are i/o intensive, not a VM thing20:37
sh1nyTheravadan, don't go mixing distros too much , well depending on the number of machines you support20:37
RoyKnumbercrunchers are cpu and sometimes memory intensive, not a vm thing20:37
RoyKgeneral stuff like your little webserver or something, that's a vm thing20:38
sh1nyRoyK, well we found out how to make it bearable so it "just works" for now20:38
Theravadansh1ny, yeah that's a headache, in a month or so all systems will be ubuntu 10.04 and i will be happy20:38
RoyKTheravadan: already in a month?20:39
sh1nyi got like 80 ubuntu 9.10's and ~100 debian unstable ( previous sysadmin's work >.> )20:39
RoyKI'd wait a few more if I were you20:39
RoyKsh1ny: Sid??20:39
sh1nyRoyK, no, they were unstable 3 years ago20:39
sh1nyRoyK, i guess now they're something after lenny , not very sure20:39
RoyKSid in production isn't good20:39
sh1nyRoyK, i don't bother upgrading them, because they pop open like can of worms20:40
sh1nyRoyK, i'm just slowly reinstalling them with ubuntu20:40
sh1nyRoyK, it was the situation when i arrived, and to be honest i am having a hard time pushing new technologies + converting all the old crap that i inherited20:41
RoyKSid == unstable20:41
sh1nyyes i know it's bad for production, but it was like this when i arrived20:41
sh1nyso >.>20:41
RoyKwe have a bunch of old fedoras around20:42
RoyKnot good either20:42
sh1nyyea well i should be done with all of those in a year or so20:42
SpamapSttx: could you provide me with some examples of some of the specs that were completed in the last cycle?20:42
RoyKthe old man that installed them has finally accepted, or getting close to, installing ubntu lts instaed20:42
sh1nyi often get "If it's working don't touch it" from customers20:42
sh1nyand it's kinda hard to explain what is "security" and why it matters20:43
