[00:05] <adaran> does anyone here use libvirt and do backups of the vms? what's the recommend way of doing that?
[00:05] <adaran> i tried virsh save, but that, so far, has been very slow and unreliable
[00:24] <chewbranca> anyone know if you can create custom users on EC2 and ssh in? I'm using the canonical 10.04 image
[00:28] <jjohansen> chewbranca: sure
[00:29] <jjohansen> once you login in you can use sudo to do the user setup
[00:29] <chewbranca> jjohansen, I mean can I create a new user on a running instance, add a key in authorized_keys and then ssh in?
[00:30] <jjohansen> chewbranca: yes, you need to do it on the running instance
[00:30] <jjohansen> unless you are making your own custom ami
[00:31] <jjohansen> its been awhile since I did it, but it wasn't hard
[00:31] <chewbranca> I'm making a custom AMI, but I'm just trying to setup the account, and then allow people to go and add in their key and be able to connect as that user, adding a deploy user
[00:32] <chewbranca> but I added in the key from my dev box and I can't connect it, getting permission denied public key error
[00:32] <chewbranca> is there anything special I have to do to make it work?
[00:33] <jjohansen> hrmm, I can't remember what I did here
[00:33] <jjohansen> I know I had some problems with login at first and to do something
[00:34] <chewbranca> hrmmm... yeah I'm at the 'had some problems' stage
[00:34] <chewbranca> did everything as per normal
[00:35] <chewbranca> basically building an AMI that is completely setup to run a rails framework I built, and we use capistrano for deploys with a 'deploy' user to connect in with, so I figured I would just emulate that
[00:49] <chewbranca> weird, either a typo or more likely a permissions issue
[00:50] <chewbranca> I ended up just copying the .ssh folder from ubuntu to deploy, chowned it, and now it works fine

[09:57] <bawn> how do i set up an ubuntu server
[10:11] <cybrocop> Hi All. What tool can I use to measure response time for about 30-60 websites that we own.
[10:11] <cybrocop> Is Munin useful for this? I basically need to fetch a web page and see what kind of response time I get.
[12:41] <steffan> 'sudo -d <user>' will delete a users password, does that allow anyone to login without a password, or does it disable logins?
[12:42] <jpds> sudo: invalid option -- 'd'
[12:42] <steffan> jpds: 'sudo passwd -d <user>' sorry
[12:43] <steffan> the manpage is confusing, does using -d disable all logins, or allow logins without a password?

[13:28] <ubottu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit

[14:51] <steffan> if the password on the only user with access too sudo is disabled, what is the solution to fixing it?
[15:00] <RoyK> steffan: reboot in single user mode or boot on a live cd
[15:00] <RoyK> of no root password is set (you need to do that manually) you can get in without a password in single user mode
[15:11] <steffan> RoyK: thank you

[17:14] <ben99`> Hello, world
[17:14] <ben99`> Got a problem with kvm
[17:15] <ben99`> when starting a new vm, I got pci_add_option_rom: failed to find romfile "pxe-virtio.bin" in the logs
[17:15] <ben99`> anyone knows where I can find that file? (not in the whole disk)

[17:31] <RoyK> hi all - I'm trying to move /var from a dedicated filesystem to the root. moving the files with rsync works well, but it seems rsyslogd is keeping files open. rsyslogd seems to be started by init, so I tried to disable respawn, sent init a SIGHUP and killed rsyslogd, but it still respawns. Any idea how to fix this?
[17:31] <RoyK> ben99`: if there's a bug without a know workaround, I guess you're stuck
[17:35] <ben99`> ok, RoyK. And usually, how fast does the community react to such a bug?
[17:35] <ben99`> Is it question of week? More? Less?
[17:36] <RoyK> it depends on the importance, and whether or not you have a support contract with canonical
[17:37] <RoyK> the support contract is not very expensive, and it makes them push your bugs up front
[17:42] <RoyK> but then, if the bug is in ubuntu, it's probably there in other distros as well
[17:46] <ben99`> OK, thanks
