[04:03] Thanks [04:14] just for a sanity check, i ran diff -rqd /dir1 /dir2, and it didnt report anything, this means that those directories are EXACTLY the same byte for byte?

[15:27] p1l0t: I guess you can with mod_rewrite? [15:27] what about ports.conf? [15:27] That defines on which ports you want apache to listen [15:27] Wait, with ip addresses, do you mean clients or servers? :) [15:36] I want to server a different document root to the internal network than the outside world [15:38] But I was hoping to use the same port just on different addys example 8.8.8.8:80 and 10.1.0.1:80 but would that be a problem since its the same port or does it not matter since the ip addresses are different [15:38] p1l0t: So you have two different IP's on the server, right? [15:38] Will you use two different hostnames for the sites? [15:39] Oh wait, come to think of it no, lol. because I have a router before the server :P thats why I got confused [15:39] p1l0t: Ok, so you just want to add a vhost [15:39] p1l0t: http://www.debuntu.org/2006/02/22/7-virtual-hosting-using-apache-2 [15:40] Yeah I will be forced to use two different ports I think [15:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html [15:40] Unless I installed a second network card [15:40] p1l0t: No, you don't [15:41] http can serve different sites on the same port for ages [15:41] I want to learn these things [15:41] p1l0t: Than read the links I just gave you :) [15:41] wilco [15:42] Jeeves_: thanks BTW [15:43] yw [15:43] Although I changed the 8.04 to 10.04 and it still worked ;) [15:47] OH so I could do like admin.mysite.com to a different document root...

Maybe it is not configured right. [16:48] it is, i've been using this for a long time [16:49] the one thing that seems to fix it is to bind to the localhost instead of the network ip, but even then. i've had times where it binds to the network address without problem [16:49] like i said, if i start it manually it binds [16:49] so it's not binding that's the problem [16:52] jdstrand: ping [16:52] jdstrand: the openjdk packages you want me to test are from https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa ?

[17:15] theacolyte: I can't tell if that is capitalized because it is a proper name for something, or just the first word of your sentence. [17:16] Are you being serious? [17:18] theacolyte: yes entirely. You joined and said "Likewise open has stopped owrking at random" [17:19] And what does a capital L have to do with the question? [17:19] theacolyte: is Likewise a project, or were you continuing a sentence from a previous conversation? [17:19] http://likewiseopen.org/ [17:19] thank you [17:19] It's AD authentication for Ubuntu [17:19] Sorry, I read that totally wrong [17:20] Yeah sometimes its just hard to be clear in short text messages. :) [17:20] I figured out how to fix it at least temporarily which buys me some time to figure out what's happening [17:21] wow, $225/incident for support! [17:21] haha, really? I didn't even get that far [17:21] I'd stick to good ol' ubuntu auth [17:22] yeah I'm no help there, though in the past I've setup winbind+samba to integrate with AD [17:23] hehe, in likewise's defense, it IS a lot easier than winbind +samba [17:23] hehe [17:24] Metroid, the original, was easier than winbind + samba. [17:25] if I remember right, likewise setup was literally one line [17:25] theacolyte: until it didn't work anymore. ;-) [17:26] theacolyte: does the thing have any logs? maybe /var/log/syslog ? [17:26] oh, conviently it looks like doing an upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 seems to disable it [17:27] doh [17:30] RoyK: hey [17:48] hggdh: ping [17:48] how can i troubleshoot an upstart job, huh, not starting upon boot? it runs ok manually [17:49] hggdh: can you nominate 579584 and 603363 for lucid for me?

[18:27] smoser: nfs-common i think [18:28] smoser: so broken system is missing that maybe [18:31] ok. pmatulis so, it seems to me that [18:31] - autofs recommends nfs-common so you should get that on install of autofs in lucid [18:31] - autofs is a sysvinit job === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [18:32] - statd is a upstart job [18:32] that leads to a race condition where the sysvinit job used to run much later in boot, but now, because there are very few sysvinit jobs, it runs very early. [18:33] the comment there will probably fix the issue, but the real fix is to get autofs to an upstart job so it can properly depend on 'started statd' [18:34] k, i thought autofs was an upstart job [18:34] smoser: what is the easiest way to check? [18:34] smoser: symlink to upstart-job (very non-intuitive) [18:35] ?

[19:27] it should just not mount the dumb drives [19:27] and boot [19:27] well, the way to fix it is to boot rescue cd or usb drive [19:27] then, for filesystems you dont need to boot, do: [19:27] nobootwait [19:28] you want to add that to the 'options' [19:28] hrm [19:28] (see man fstab) [19:28] right [19:28] so if I add nobootwait ureadahead won't crap out? [19:29] or rather it fstab won't [19:29] i think they're unrelated [19:29] the other issue is I think the disk is drbd so it's not even mountable yet [19:29] considering they aren't synced [19:52] smoser: where is nomountwait [19:53] er nobootwait [19:53] i looked at man mount and nothing [19:53] man fstab === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [20:06] smoser: it's not in there [20:06] smoser: that snippet of upstart goodness for debugging purposes, where do thos lines go? [20:06] ah. sorry, pmatulis [20:06] just put that in a "/etc/init.d/debug-me.conf" [20:06] or any upstart job really. [20:06] wait [20:06] in /etc/init/debug-me.conf [20:07] also, you can pass on the kernel command line '--verbose' or '--debug' [20:07] and upstart responds [20:07] webPragmatist, what is not there ? [20:07] any reference to v [20:07] nobootwait [20:08] sommer: do you have any idea what section "Add Persistent Log Entries to Job Definition Files" is talking about on http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Debugging ? [20:09] hm.. [20:09] $ dpkg -S /usr/share/man/man5/fstab.5.gz [20:09] mount: /usr/share/man/man5/fstab.5.gz [20:09] $ dpkg-query --show mount [20:09] mount 2.17.2-0ubuntu1 [20:09] pmatulis: seems like it's talking about how to use upstart to save log files [20:09] $ man fstab | grep noboot [20:09] hold up the boot for these; ``nobootwait'' which can be applied to non- [20:09] pmatulis: do you have a more specific question [20:10] sommer: it's saying by simply creating a file in tmp this is going to help, i don't see how [20:10] well, you can't really review files in /tmp [20:10] as next boot they're going to be cleaned [20:11] right... maybe /var/log would be better [20:11] you shouldn't put stuff in /tmp that you want to see later. [20:11] right. or /root or something. [20:11] maybe /tmp is just an example? [20:11] well its a bad one :) [20:11] ya, don't disagree with that :-) [20:12] wow, those nicks are similar [20:12] webPragmatist, so, if you missed the above my 'man fstab' on lucid definitely does have 'nobootwait' [20:13] i see… i don't ahve access to proper ubuntu mans i guess [20:13] is there ubuntu mans online [20:13] sommer: i don't get the basic idea, how does one connect upstart to that log file? [20:13] oh, did I get drug into another conversation? :-) [20:13] i think i messed up [20:13] he he [20:14] kirkland, what gives, why is this wrong: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man5/fstab.5.html [20:14] pmatulis: from what I understand you'd just add a redirect to your upstart job: echo "Debug Message" >> /tmp/upstart [20:14] smoser: what's wrong about it? [20:15] pmatulis: in other word I don't think upstart itself is connected to the file, but the paticular upstart scirpt is [20:15] well, 'man 5 fstab' for me gives me something from mount, not from loop-aes-utils [20:16] bummer: [20:16] $ apt-get install loop-aes-utils [20:16] .. [20:16] Adding `diversion of /usr/share/man/man5/fstab.5.gz to /usr/share/man/man5/fstab-orig.5.gz by loop-aes-utils [20:17] webPragmatist, you may be successful trying 'man fstab-orig' [20:17] kirkland, how does that determine what package should give a man page ? [20:17] in the case of a diversion or conflict [20:17] smoser: that manpage was extracted from that deb [20:18] smoser: the script crawls through all debs in the archive, and extracts manpages from them [20:18] yes. [20:18] and what does it do when 2 debs conflict on a man page, or one dpkg-diverts another [20:19] 'mount' and 'loop-aes-utils' both provide that man page. loop-aes-utils diverts 'mount' version [20:19] smoser: last write wins [20:19] smoser: it just untars the debs, does not install them [20:19] smoser: loop-aes-utils was probably updated more recently than mount [20:20] y. bummer. [20:21] smoser: do you have a better suggestion? [20:21] webPragmatist, http://paste.ubuntu.com/464670/ if you 're still interested [20:21] i have no better suggestion. [20:22] smoser: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manpage-repository/+bugs [20:22] smoser: please file a bug, if none of those describe the issue [20:22] smoser: it's similar to Bug #544332 [20:22] Launchpad bug 544332 in ubuntu-manpage-repository "man pages not showing up for commands affected by update-alternatives" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/544332 [20:22] yeah [20:22] i saw that . [20:22] its similar. [20:23] smoser: and Bug #336328 [20:23] Launchpad bug 336328 in ubuntu-manpage-repository "sh links point to bash instead of dash" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/336328 [20:25] fixing either of those would likely fix this [20:25] i'll just comment in 336328 [20:40] today's cd image doesn't boot, is that what daviey mentioned earlier about syslinux being broken? [20:40] it claims "Unknown keyboard in configuration file" [20:41] I'm haveing an issue trying to install on a server, it won't install grub2, it asks me to insert the disk labeled blahblahblahlucidlinxblahblahblah into drive cdrom, I'm installing from a USB cd rom because the server does not have a cd rom in it, and I don't have a spare available === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [21:24] i successfully log on to my iscsi target from the initiator, but still nothing show up in my fdisk -l on the client. why? === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [21:34] I figured it out :) it's dhclient that keeps changing my ip address on its own [21:35] now if I only knew what was triggering it... [21:35] nothing in the crontab [21:37] WHY I just want my server to stay up all the time [21:42] smoser: ping [21:42] here [21:42] hey, is it possible to pass commandline options to puppetd using cloud-init? [21:43] puppetd runs via upstart ? [21:43] smoser: doesn't look like it [21:43] start-stop-daemon [21:44] i'm particularly looking to set debug, verbose & trace [21:44] sudo apt-get remove dhcp3-client hopefully has solved my problem for good [21:44] looking [21:46] jiboumans, i'm just reading from the packages for puppet [21:46] but it looks to me that /etc/init.d/puppetd reads /etc/default/puppet and respsects DAEMON_OPTS [21:46] you can write that file in a couple different ways. [21:46] smoser: yup.. how do i make cloud-init DTRT in that case? it has it's own puppet: section [21:47] the easiest is in maverick [21:47] smoser: this is tracking down a bug in lucid unfortunately [21:47] i dont know that you can configure that with cloud-config (i doubt it) [21:48] but with cloud-init multi part syuntax you can eiterh write an upstart job that writes that file (and runs before puppetd) [21:48] or you could write a handler and then trigger the handler [21:48] the upstart job propbbaly simpler [21:48] hold on [21:50] smoser: i was also looking for the code that implemented the puppet: directive in cloud-init [21:50] but couldn't find it [21:51] oh cool activity, I'm haveing a problem getting a server installed, when it was trying to install grub it gave me an error like it could't find the cd rom during install and not supprizeingly it wouldn't boot after that, I've managed to get to a grub prompt when the machine boots up, but I have no idea how to go from here [21:52] in lucid it is in cloudinit/CloudConfig.py [21:52] to write that defaults file, you can put content in user-data like: [21:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/464702/ [21:52] oh, impotant detail, I'm using a usb cd rom [21:52] hi, I'm running the 10.04 AWS AMI using an EBS volume for the entire root partition, I'm wondering what the best way would be to mount different parts of the filesystem to separate EBS volumes, any ideas? [21:53] smoser: how does that fit with the rest of the userdata? can i just append your snippet to the end of it? [21:53] i figured that question was coming [21:54] you need mime multipart [21:54] * jiboumans cringe [21:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CloudInit [21:54] thanks, i'll go take a look [21:54] there is a tool linked there 'write-mime-mulitipart' and an example of how to use it [21:59] jiboumans, i've got to run. i hope that should be enough for you. [21:59] smoser: yeah, i should be able to figure it out [21:59] thanks for the pointers smoser! [21:59] i tihnk that will get the file written for you [21:59] you'll want to start your upstart job as early as possible [22:00] because you have to run before puppet [22:00] 'filesystem' will probably get you there. [22:00] 'start on stopped cloud-init' would get you started earlier though. === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [22:42] * ccheney will be pushing his new uec provisioning rewrite to lp later today [22:42] :) [22:42] New bug: #605252 in qemu-kvm "qemu-kvm fails to build from source on armel" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/605252 [22:42] * ccheney thinks its done [22:43] probably some bugs still there to be fixed but its much better than before :) [22:44] has support for mirror selection, partitioning (limited), user account creation in the script now [23:17] what do you guys prefer sshfs or nfs? [23:20] why would doing a sed replace change my symlinks into regular files? http://dpaste.de/OJi5/ [23:22] anybody with admin access to the ubuntu-server team on launchpad around? [23:23] Hypnoz: because sed -i creates a new file, then renames it to the old one [23:25] ahhh [23:25] interesting [23:27] so now i have to make a script to check if a file is real or sym, and only apply the sed if it's real? [23:27] Hypnoz: find may be able to solve it [23:28] so putting an option in find to ignore symlinks, and then doing like a -exec sed... [23:29] yeah somethign like that [23:30] thats shitty. Those are the little things that surprise me sometimes, that sed has been around for sooooooooooo long, and still no one has but a switch in it to ignore symlinks [23:30] since it has such a bad affect on symlinks, you'd think someone would have noticed that [23:31] it does one thing well. :) [23:32] destroy symlinks? [23:32] You start adding crazy features like that and the program becomes a maintenance problem. :) [23:32] kirkland, https://code.launchpad.net/~ccheney/uec-provisioning/branch [23:33] crazy features? and how about we just throw out tac, and turn it into a -r switch on cat? [23:34] is that craaaaaazy too? [23:36] Hypnoz: the only crazy part is that -i doesn't state clearly that it creates new files and renames over top of them. [23:39] * ccheney bbl, headed to hospital [23:42] never a good sign
