[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
[02:40] <resno> i am trying to setup bridging on virtualbox to a virtualmachine. when i start the machine i get: "Failed to attach the network LUN (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER). Unknown error creating VM (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER)
[09:29] <matkix> Hey, anyone here know what I need to change in Grub to boot headless ubuntu server?
[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?
[13:06] <mgj> Anyone know the default power management scheme when installing ubuntu server 10.04 on a laptop (connected to AC) ?
[13:06] <mgj> as in: Is there any shutting down power-saving enabled by default?

[14:09] <bogeyd6> RoyK, how is your morning going?
[14:43] <RoyK> bogeyd6: the afternoon is nice, thank you
[14:46] <storrgie> I am trying to access some webcams that are on a remote ubuntu server machine, how can I get them exposed over http?
[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
[15:12] <RoyK> storrgie: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[15:12] <RoyK> storrgie: vlc might do it, btw
[15:39] <MikeSee> where can i find the md5 sum of ubuntu-10.04-server-i386.iso to check against?  my iso doesnt seem to boot past "english > install ubuntu server" just want to make sure i got it all....

[16:37] <Lantizia> Is Install-Recommends turned off when using Ubuntu Server?
[16:37] <Lantizia> Bug 316472 suggests it is with Intrepid
[16:40] <jpds> Lantizia: It is on by default.
[16:40] <Lantizia> How naff
[16:48] <lvh> Hey. Ubuntu Server seems to be focused on EC2 as far as public clouds are concerned. How does interop with Rackspace Cloud work (if at all?)
[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)
[17:16] <ben99`> I'm on lucid
[17:24] <pmatulis> bug #566832
[17:25] <ben99`> I saw these ones... but what should I do?
[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
[20:04] <pmatulis> ben99`: the bug report states the fix has been committed
[21:59] <clusty_> hey
[21:59] <clusty_> i was curious if any of you got ubuntu to talk to a mac though netatalk/AFP
[22:00] <clusty_> cause the linux is unloggable

[22:08] <clusty_> viezerd, mind giving me the line that defines the share?
[22:09] <viezerd> its in Applevolumes.default
[22:10] <clusty_> and the last line of /etc/netatalk/afpd.conf
