Italian_PlumberI'm trying to connect my windows xp machine directly to an ubuntu server with a crossover cable.  I thought this was going to be easy.  It doesn't appear to be.  When I configure the server with a static IP with a netmask, I get "eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device ... SIOCSIFADDR: No such device"00:32
Italian_PlumberI'm hoping the fix for that is something that's obvious to someone with more experience than I.00:33
Italian_PlumberIt also says "SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device" and "Failed to bring up eth0"00:35
uvirtbotNew bug: #619540 in samba (main) "package smbclient 2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3.5 failed to install/upgrade:" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/61954000:41

Italian_Plumberwell I figured it out... for some reason my two network cards are eth3 and eth401:04
Patrickdkdid you change cards or motherboards?01:05
Patrickdkubuntu remembers the id's of the cards, and assigns new numbers for new cards01:05
Italian_Plumberthe hard drive is from another machine... that could be it.01:06
Italian_Plumbernow however I think my problem is that my crossover cable isn't really a crossover cable01:06
Italian_Plumbermm... I dunno... the definitely have different wiring between the two plugs01:08
Italian_Plumberwhew... I rebooted and eth0 is now eth3...01:17
Italian_Plumberer... I mean eth3 is now eth001:17

ND-moviehey, can someone help me out with PPTPD server?01:19
ND-moviei'm having a problem with it. :(01:19
mase_wkND-movie: no one knows if they can help you because you haven't told us the problem01:19
ND-moviea fair point01:19
ND-moviebasically i'm having trouble getting the darn'ed thing to work right, i have it all set up, but i'm getting errors when it tries to handle dhcp01:20
ND-moviehere's pastebin01:22
ND-moviehttp://pastebin.com/31qdtXsp01:22
ND-movielike i can communicate with the VPN server, its not refusing the connection01:23
ND-moviebut *shrug*01:23
ND-moviei think i have the internal and external IP's set up incorrectly01:23
ND-moviexxx.xx.31.59 i have set as my internal (which is the IP of my server)01:23
ND-movieand i have 192.168.1.1-254 set as my external01:23
ND-moviethats probably the wrong idea, i'm guessing?01:24

guest9876543210I'm not aware of Spanish server room, I'd suggest to ask for help there ...02:59
PleceboI'm having some issues with Raid. I have a raid6 array and all of my drives all of a sudden went to spares. mdstat reads this: http://pastebin.com/c8Li0hHj I've tried rebootin and reassembling the array, but don't want to mess anything up the best I can get is 5 devices to try to assemble, but I need at least 6.03:02
guest9876543210Placebo : do you have critical datas on your RAID array ?03:10
Pleceboguest9876543210, I do, loosing it would be bad03:14
McWineyn00b Q: I want to put my wife's teaching docs online for her to access from home/school/wherever... Most files are on ubuntu server box right now. Is WebDAV the way to go here?03:15
PleceboI assembled the array with: mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md0 /dev/sd{b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i}03:15
Pleceboand it started with 6 devices03:15
guest9876543210Placebo : and ?? what's wrong then ?03:16
Pleceboguest9876543210, there are 8 devices, and I can't add the other two03:16
Pleceboguest9876543210, also, now one of the 6 is marked as Failed03:17
Plecebonew mdstat http://pastebin.com/CcrgJQs403:17
guest9876543210Plecebo : it might worth to test your HDs, using smartmontools03:19
Pleceboguest9876543210, I can do that, do they need to be tested one at a time?03:20
Pleceboalso, should I take my raid array offline?03:21
guest9876543210Plecebo : yes one disk at time (2mn per disk), you can leave your RAID on03:21
guest9876543210sudo smartctl -t short /dev/sda03:22
guest9876543210then after 2mn :03:22
guest9876543210sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda03:22
guest9876543210for each HD ...03:22
Pleceboguest9876543210, ok, i'll do that and report back, thanks for your help *fingers crossed*03:23
Pleceboguest9876543210, what am I looking for? how will I know there is a problem?03:25
guest9876543210Plecebo : you'll see errors in the last lines03:26
guest9876543210Placebo : you can run to know to number of hours your HDs have been up :03:29
guest9876543210for sda :03:29
guest9876543210sudo /usr/sbin/smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda | egrep '^  9' | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f1103:29
Plecebo/dev/sdb looks clean http://pastebin.com/sCFPcESs03:31
Plecebo8851, is that minutes?03:32
guest9876543210in hours03:32
Plecebooh hours? nice03:32
Plecebolol03:32
guest9876543210nearly 1 year03:32
Pleceboseems about right03:33
Plecebothats about how long i've had them, nearly always on03:33
guest9876543210due to RAID (1) crash, I now change HDs before 30 000 hours (3 years)03:34
guest9876543210between 20 000 and 25 00003:35
guest9876543210Plecebo : it might worth to check your HDD temp too :03:36
guest9876543210sudo hddtemp /dev/sd[a-l]03:36
guest9876543210mine have often failed because of high temp03:37
Pleceboguest9876543210, I know I recently moved them to a hotter part of my house and I was copying data to them when the array crashed03:37
Plecebo/dev/sdc looks ok http://pastebin.com/vxpFKmTd03:37
guest9876543210yeap03:38
Pleceboguest9876543210, between 34C and 41C03:39
Pleceboat the moment03:39
Plecebobut now I know how to monitor them03:39
guest9876543210FYI : 47° has always killed my HDs03:40
Pleceboguest9876543210, well seeing as how its a lot cooler today then it was the day the crashed i wouldn't be surprised if they hit something that high03:41
Pleceboguest9876543210, thanks a bunch for your help03:41
guest9876543210Plecebo : you're welcome .. help each other ;-)03:42
Pleceboguest9876543210, yea, i'm writing down these commands so i'll know next time and someday can pass on the info :)03:42
guest9876543210Plecebo : I've installed a MediaWiKi on my server, so I can record all theses usefull commands and access them from anywhere with www connection, I use it everyday as I can't recall everything ;)03:44
Plecebosdd looks good http://pastebin.com/90HPtcdj03:44
Pleceboguest9876543210, that is a great idea03:45
Pleceboguest9876543210, as long as your server is up eh?03:45
guest9876543210Plecebo, do you mean uptime ?03:45
Pleceboguest9876543210, if your MediaWiki is on your server and your server is what you are trying to fix... could be an issues03:46
guest9876543210opps, yeap, that's what I first type .. as long as your server is alive ;)03:46
guest9876543210it was on this server I have experienced a RAID crash :(03:47
PleceboMaybe I could keep tomboy notes and have them sync with ubuntuOne03:48
guest9876543210lost 1 week / 15H/day typing invoices and so on ...03:48
Pleceboguest9876543210, ewww no fun there03:48
guest9876543210Now backups are daily03:48
Pleceboguest9876543210, at least it wasn't two weeks LOL03:48
guest9876543210(they were wekkly before)03:48
Plecebosde looks ok http://pastebin.com/UkspLJaj03:50
guest9876543210Plecebo : I haven't yet found how to use UbuntuOne (neither understood what it can do)03:50
guest9876543210sdi sdh sdg might be the culpits03:50
guest9876543210(as they're shown as _ instead of U in mdstat)03:51
Pleceboguest9876543210, I have only begun to use it, I think eventually they want it to be like a roaming profile in the cloud... but I think there are some kinks before they get there03:52
Pleceboguest9876543210, yea my suspects as well, testing f now03:52
guest9876543210FYI : I don't use anything that RAID1 for my sensitive datas now : 2 HDs in use, 1 for spare03:53
Pleceboyea, I should consider moving mine around a bit03:54
Plecebore-thinking03:54
hallyn<shrug> I'm using ecryptfs over Ubuntu One, bc I keep switching laptops etc.  No problems so far, after 2-3 weeks of heavy daily use03:55
hallyncourse all it takes is one snafu on the backend :)03:55
hallynas sidekick users know03:55
Pleceboguest9876543210, most of my 6TB is used for ripped copies of movies I own that I could easily replace (just take me a few months to re-rip them)03:55
Plecebohallyn, you are happy so far?03:55
hallynvery03:55
hallynI install a new laptop, hook into ubuntu one, wait a few mins, and everything is there03:55
hallyn(bouncing between lucid and maverick)03:56
Plecebohallyn, i've used it for the music stuff, but there is so little space i usually pull it off right away03:56
guest9876543210Plecebo : for the ripping thing datas, I use RAID5 (never tried the 6 level) as I don't care datas03:56
hallynagain, i suspect i"ll get bitten at some point.  but then i have backups on several laptops, implicitly :)03:56
hallynPlecebo: i want quick syncs, so i don't put music on there03:56
hallynnot yet anyway03:56
hallynif I could do priorities, "sync this first", then I might start03:57
hallynmaybe i should hop over to #ubuntuone and suggest that :)03:57
PleceboSDG seems fine http://pastebin.com/QbUXawbV03:57
Plecebohallyn, yea the distributed idea of it is nice03:57
guest9876543210Plecebo : yeap no error shown yet03:57
Pleceboguest9876543210, its hard to move around 3TB of data though while you restructure everything03:58
guest9876543210Plecebo : I know ... :(03:59
Plecebohallyn, priority would be nice I havent heard but excited to see what the devs have in store for 10.1003:59
guest9876543210Is one of you good with Virtual Machines ? (JeOS & vmbuilder)04:00
PleceboSDH looks fine http://pastebin.com/mZGZPQHr04:00
Pleceboguest9876543210, havent played around with it yet, but i'm interested. I'm considering attempting a small office install with ebox towards the end of sept and want to divide up the server a bit04:01
Pleceboguest9876543210, but like I said, not tried playing with it yet04:01
guest9876543210Plecebo : I'm trying right now .. but it seems I have to read a lot ... not able to start a VM yet04:02
PleceboSDI looks ok... http://pastebin.com/PGeKNUR804:03
guest9876543210Plecebo : once you've tested all drives, try to remove then re-add sde1 to md004:05
guest9876543210mdadm /dev/md0 --fail /dev/sde1 --remove /dev/sde104:07
guest9876543210mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/sde104:07
guest9876543210and watch the raid re-construction04:07
guest9876543210watch cat /proc/mdstat04:08
guest9876543210try to do this for the other drives after (but as i told : never tried the RAID6 level)04:08
Pleceboguest9876543210, it added e as a spare04:08
guest9876543210Plecebo : maybe because of the --force you typed04:09
Pleceboguest9876543210, and it doesn't seem to be rebuilding either04:09
Pleceboguest9876543210, could be04:10
guest9876543210from the last mdstat you sent, sde1 if marked as FAILED04:10
guest9876543210so, try to remove & re-add04:10
guest9876543210(without force)04:10
Pleceboguest9876543210, remove and readd the array?04:11
Pleceboguest9876543210, mdstat now doesn't have b and c either, so let me try to readd them04:11
guest9876543210Plecebo : remove sde1 from array then re-add it (see previous commds I've sent)04:11
Pleceboguest9876543210, when I tried to remove/re-add sde1 using the commands you gave they were added back as spares04:12
guest9876543210arg ...04:12
Pleceboguest9876543210, adding sdb and sdc with the same command added them as spares as well04:13
guest9876543210hmm ..04:13
guest9876543210it seems you need 4 drives for RAID604:15
guest9876543210as the array already contains 4 valid drives, I think that's why they are added as spare04:15
Plecebofrom what i understood raid6 is like raid5 with the ability to lose 2 drives04:16
guest9876543210I'd try a mdadm --assemble --scan04:16
Pleceboso my 8 drive array should be able to assemble with 6 drives04:16
Pleceboit says my array is active and it can't be restarted04:17
guest9876543210I suppose this array is only for datas (no boot nor OS on it) ?04:18
Pleceboguest9876543210, just data, correct04:19
guest9876543210so you can stop the array then re-assemble it04:19
guest9876543210sudo mdadm --stop /dev/mdo04:20
guest9876543210then04:20
guest9876543210sudo mdadm --assemble --scan04:20
Plecebomdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 5 drives and 3 spares - not enough to start the array.04:21
PleceboLMAO04:21
Plecebocloser though04:21
Plecebomaybe if i alter the mdadm.conf and restart04:21
guest9876543210what is your mdstat right now ?04:22
Pleceboguest9876543210, it says again that all of my drives are spares (S)04:27
guest9876543210all the 8 ?04:28
Pleceboyea04:28
Plecebomd0 : inactive sdf1[0](S) sde1[10](S) sdb1[9](S) sdc1[8](S) sdd1[6](S) sdi1[3](S) sdh1[2](S) sdg1[1](S)04:29
guest9876543210and if you try to assemble the array you're told not enough drives ?04:30
Plecebomdadm --assemble --scan04:31
Plecebomdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 5 drives and 3 spares - not enough to start the array.04:31
guest9876543210Plecebo : Sorry, I'm a bit confused, I really don't know what to do ...04:43
Pleceboguest9876543210, ok well thanks for the effort, ill keep plugging away here trying to see what I can come up with04:44
=== oubiwann-away is now known as oubiwann
Pleceboguest9876543210, oh no, i think i might have goofed05:46
guest9876543210?05:46
PleceboI removed and recreated the array05:48
Pleceboand it started rebuilding05:48
guest9876543210but it failed at the end ... that's it ?05:48
Plecebobut then I got freaked out that I wasn't able to mount the array, which i've been able to do in the past05:48
Pleceboand then two of the drives failed out of the array05:49
Pleceboand the sync stopped05:49
Plecebobut im worried that when I created the array I overwrote the superblock05:49
guest9876543210arg, sincerely I'm not a that good mdadm user, but I think that overwriting the superblock was probably a bad idea05:50
Pleceboyea I'm thinking the same05:51
guest9876543210I think it's time to think : go for a new mdadm aventure and forget your past array datas ...05:52
Pleceboguest9876543210, maybe, but i'm not at that point yet05:56
guest9876543210courage is a good thing ! :)05:57
guest9876543210I'm trying the 4th installation of a Virtual Machine on this server ...06:00
Plecebowell the info i'm seeing leads me to believe i'll be fine, if I can get the array to rebuild06:01
PleceboI'm shutting it down for a bit and i'm going to try to cool things off in here then have it rebuild again06:01
Plecebogood luck with your vm project, i'll be back in a bit06:01
guest9876543210hi all, anyone used to JeOS & vmbuilder ?06:47
alex88where does trasmission save torrent files?06:48
Andre_Gondimalex88, ~/Downloads06:52
alex88lol..i already created that dir..so i didn't search in there :) thank you :)06:54
Pleceboguest9876543210, gah! it won't rebuild because two of my drives keep failing07:55
guest9876543210Plecebo, your array should be ok with 6 drives out of 808:07
guest9876543210just remove the bad ones and keep only the good ones08:07
Pleceboguest9876543210, but the array keeps wanting to sync08:08
Pleceboso it won't stay online08:09
guest9876543210do you mean on its mountpoint ?08:09
eagles0513875|2hey guys is it bad practice if you have a raid 1 array to have swap also mirrored?08:09
guest9876543210eagles0513875|2 : it works but it is a better idea to have a separate swap on each drive08:10
eagles0513875|2i have one main drive and one drive which is mirrored onto08:11
gentooxereagles0513875|2: what guest9876543210 is trying to say is: you don't want to mirror your swap08:12
eagles0513875|2O_o08:13
eagles0513875|2doh08:13
guest9876543210eagles0513875|2 : do you mean you have only a / and a swap on the drive and the whole drive is mirrored (using mdadm) to another one ?08:13
eagles0513875|2guest9876543210: exactly i have the primary drive and using mdadm its mirroring / and swap :(08:13
gentooxereagles0513875|2: you want 2 swap one on each disk08:13
eagles0513875|2ok so it being mirrored is ok gentooxer08:13
gentooxereagles0513875|2: it doesn't harm anything08:14
guest9876543210gentooxer: it seems you haven't created your RAID array at system install ...08:14
eagles0513875|2isnt it better to have swap mirrored just in case one needs to rebuild the array they will have the swap partition already there08:15
guest9876543210sorry, this was for eagles0513875|2 ..08:15
eagles0513875|2and guest9876543210 i did create the array at system install08:15
gentooxereagles0513875|2: the swap is only temporary data like ram08:15
gentooxereagles0513875|2: its garbish after a reboot08:15
eagles0513875|2arent you up the creek though if you have to rebuild the array08:16
gentooxereagles0513875|2: why bother an mirror it?08:16
guest9876543210eagles0513875|2 : datas in swap file are erased after a reboot08:16
eagles0513875|2ok then i guess ill re install again :(08:16
eagles0513875|2so what would you guys mirror08:16
eagles0513875|2the bios boot partition and /08:16
gentooxereagles0513875|2: Ah I see, you have the option to mirror partitions not the whole disk08:17
eagles0513875|2just partitions08:17
eagles0513875|2i have 2 mirrors using mdadm08:17
eagles0513875|2they are /dev/md0 and md108:17
gentooxereagles0513875|2: so your RAID doesn't even see the swap, so you are save at rebuild ...08:17
eagles0513875|2md1 is the swap08:17
eagles0513875|2and md0 is the / partition08:17
guest9876543210eagles0513875|2 : you should create your partition at install, mark them as RAID, then create the RAID array(s)08:17
eagles0513875|2guest9876543210: i did08:17
gentooxereagles0513875|2: just erase md1 and create 2 seperate swap08:18
guest9876543210eagles0513875|2 : you just have to delete your md1 and create swap on each drive instead08:18
eagles0513875|2humm ok08:18
gentooxereagles0513875|2: but you don't need to reinstall08:18
eagles0513875|2im new to creating raid arrays in linux08:19
eagles0513875|2this was my very first one tbh08:19
guest9876543210eagles0513875|2 : it doesn't hurts to have swap mirrored (my first server was like this and it has always run fine)08:19
guest9876543210eagles0513875|2 : just not the best way to go ...08:19
eagles0513875|2guest9876543210: humm k :(08:19
gentooxereagles0513875|2: you can deactivate the swap with sudo swapoff08:20
gentooxereagles0513875|2: unmount the swap08:20
eagles0513875|2ok08:20
gentooxereagles0513875|2: an create 2 new partitions08:20
eagles0513875|2why 208:20
gentooxerwith sudo swapon the system searches for your swap and activates it08:20
guest9876543210eagles0513875|2 : one on each drive ;)08:21
gentooxereagles0513875|2: because of the 2 disks08:21
eagles0513875|2ahhh08:21
eagles0513875|2primary disk has swap on it already08:21
gentooxereagles0513875|2: or do you have RAID on a single disk?08:21
eagles0513875|22x2tb hdds08:21
eagles0513875|2raid 108:21
eagles0513875|2thats kinda pointless though08:22
eagles0513875|2to have it on one disk there is no redundancy08:22
gentooxereagles0513875|2: so you create 1 swapspace on each disk08:22
eagles0513875|2ok08:22
gentooxereagles0513875|2: you can use the space of md108:22

g0rd0ndamn, since upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04 the serial console redirection seems not to work anymore09:08
eagles0513875binBASH: back09:22
g0rd0ndamn, i fiddled with menu.lst and grub hangs now haha... will have to revert from recovery... sucks09:40
eagles0513875g0rd0n: hope u took a backup of it09:47
g0rd0ng0rd0n: no, but i remember what i changed... so as soon as i mount the boot partition i can modify the file09:48
g0rd0nbut still i wonder why console redirection doesnt work anymore09:48
g0rd0ncause the parameters were not changed in the kernel line09:48
g0rd0nsame as the old kerne09:48
eagles0513875g0rd0n: 8.04 used grub109:48
eagles0513875if im not mistake09:48
g0rd0nyes, i still have grub109:48
g0rd0nit doesnt get upgraded09:48
eagles0513875ya 10.04 uses on a clean install grub209:49
eagles0513875no it doesnt09:49
eagles0513875!grub2 | g0rd0n09:49
ubottug0rd0n: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10.  For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub209:49
eagles0513875that will tell ya how to upgrade09:49
g0rd0ni know, but i failed clean installing, cause my video redirection doesnt support framebuffer09:49
g0rd0ni tried upgrading grub2, but it doesnt work... he doesnt like the boot partition09:49
g0rd0ni followed the instructions on that page09:49
g0rd0ni dont remember the exact error message, but i googled and it looks like grub2 wants the boot partition to start on block 63 which mine apparently does not09:53
g0rd0nbut thats ok, i can live with grub109:53

eagles0513875i changed the file in /etc/motd but after logging in to the system again it did have the message i gave it09:58
qman__eagles0513875, the motd is now automatically generated with a series of scripts10:00
eagles0513875qman__: how are you supposed to for instance put a legal disclaimer on the motd10:01
eagles0513875ahhh wait10:01
eagles0513875motd isnt what i want10:01
qman__located in /etc/update-motd.d/10:01
eagles0513875how can i put a legal disclaimer or have one pop up when someone tries to login to the machine and or ssh into the server10:01
qman__SSH has its own banner setting10:02
qman__I don't recall off the top of my head where the local terminal banner setting is10:02
eagles0513875ok10:02
eagles0513875not necessarily terminal10:02
eagles0513875gets a login screen in kubuntu would it be posisble to get the disclaimer from a remote server prior to logging into that server?10:02
qman__if you want a message at a graphical login screen, you'll need to investigate kdm for kubuntu and gdm for ubuntu/xubuntu10:04
qman__as for remote logins, if you're using SSH, you want the 'banner' directive in the sshd_config10:05
qman__bear in mind, however, that many SSH clients ignore the banner anyway10:07
qman__so you will want your legal disclaimer in the motd as well10:07
eagles0513875ya im noticing that10:08
eagles0513875:) ssh banner set :)10:10
eagles0513875qman__: would i need to create another script and put the motd message there10:13
qman__yes, or modify an existing one10:14
qman__the scripts are rc style, smaller numbers execute first10:14
eagles0513875ok10:14
eagles0513875:) this is gonna be interesting never worked with bash scripting much but im eager to learn10:15
qman__well, yours should be simple10:15
qman__start with a shebang, #!/bin/bash10:15
qman__and then echo "disclaimer" or cat a file containing it10:15
qman__then chmod +x10:16

eagles0513875i think lunch would fix that soon hehe10:17
qman__heh, it's 5 am where I'm at10:19
qman__bit of an insomniac10:20
qman__but you really shouldn't need any variables, just a simple echo or cat10:20
eagles0513875qman__: your saying i make another script called disclaimer10:20
eagles0513875then call it from the 00-header script10:20
qman__no10:20
qman__create a script called /etc/update-motd.d/92-legal10:21
qman__and it should contain10:21
qman__#!/bin/bash10:21
qman__echo "here is my disclaimer, by using this system blah blah blah give me your immortal soul blah blah blah"10:21
qman__if you want it to appear closer to the top, name it 01-legal10:22
eagles0513875qman__: im trying to add it to the script 00-header10:28
eagles0513875and its not working i did as u said10:28
eagles0513875echo "disclaimer" then it outputs the kernel and ubuntu version10:28
qman__well, that should work10:29
qman__I forget what triggers it to update the actual motd though10:29
qman__I think it's a cron job10:30
qman__no, guess not10:30
eagles0513875cuz im running cat ../motd and its not showing up10:31
qman__a relative path could be the problem10:31
qman__use absolute10:31
eagles0513875its working10:32
eagles0513875i tried to login directly to the server10:32
eagles0513875and it shows up10:32
eagles0513875instead of using ssh10:32
eagles0513875so both ways are working10:32
qman__the other option here is to have it cat a file10:35
eagles0513875ok10:35
qman__in that way, you could have both SSH and the motd point to the same file10:35
qman__so when you need to change it, it changes both10:35
eagles0513875qman__: im using the motd message for ssh in the file /etc/issues.net10:40
eagles0513875then when i login to the physical machine i added the echo u mentioned to the 00-header file10:40
ikonialook in /etc/motd10:48
ikonialook at your ssh config (not sshd_config)10:48
ikoniacheck if it's using a login shell also10:48

garymcHOw DO I find my PoE switch IP address that ive just plugged into my server10:56
_rubengarymc: read its manual? its bound to list the default ip address11:05
_rubenor hope it uses dhcp by default so can just look at your dhcpd logs11:06
garymcyeah im a newbie. It says if you plug into a DHCP server (thats what I plug it into) then type "SHOW NETWORK"11:06
garymcshow network doesnt work11:06

\shgarymc: /var/log/syslog11:11

garymc_ruben : Thats not showing the Netgear switch11:28
eagles0513875garymc: switches dont provide dhcp11:28
eagles0513875you need a router11:28
eagles0513875to do dhcp and NAT11:28
eagles0513875probably atm you have only one ip which means without a router you cant get any other pcs on ur network  on the internet11:29

eagles0513875humm11:46
eagles0513875what make11:46

eagles0513875oh my12:23
eagles0513875what bothers me though is the short 6 month release cycle12:23

eagles0513875and a stabler system like debian12:23
eagles0513875then a new release every 6 months12:24
alvinSame for me. I often think Ubuntu Server would be better off when based on Debian stable instead of unstable.12:24
eagles0513875i think the dev cycle seriously needs to be revised12:25

sorenhggdh: Are the tests you run against Eucalyptus described anywhere that I can see?14:22
* soren is curious how far OpenStack is from passing those tests at this stage14:23
hggdhsoren: partially on the blueprint, partially in the code. You can get the code from /~uec-testing-scripts-dev/uec-testing-scripts/trunk/14:25
hggdhsoren: basically: hammer down as many instances as possible, on all types and images available; (2) create/attach/allocate/use/reuse volumes14:26
hggdhsoren: er. If you happen to test OpenStack... mind telling me the results? ;-)14:27

hggdhand I would still like to have more ;-)14:28
soren...and sobs.14:28
hggdhwell, if you looked at my personal set of hardware... you would really cry14:29
sorenWell, there's a reason I've taught OpenStack to use user-mode-linux as its backend instead of KVM.14:29
jdstrandhallyn: not a separate bzr tree for Ubuntu, no. Debian uses git iirc and there is the distributed development one for Ubuntu, but that hasn't worked well for me in the past14:29
sorenso I can test stuff on rackspace cloud servers or whatnot.14:29
hggdhsoren: cool!14:30
sorenhggdh: It's not a replacement for full integration testing, of course, but it does a long way in testing OpenStack itself.14:30

binBASHsoren: We measured what cloud processing would cost per customer.14:40
binBASHand it was more expensive.14:40
binBASHI mean, if you buy such a 80K system and you use it for 36 Month it will cost 4000-5000 USD / month.14:41

binBASHsoren: I just looked at Amazon, I didn't check other cloud solution providers.14:45
sorenbinBASH: It depends on storage and memory requirements, too, of course. I all you were doing was adding numbers, so very little need for storage and memory, the smallest instance on Rackspace's cloud platform still gives you access to 4 cores @~2.6 GHz.14:45
sorenbinBASH: And those cost ~$11/month.14:46
binBASHstorage, hmm. 10TB+14:46
sorenWell, that's the thing... Do you need to it all in the same place as you do the processing?14:47

smoserhggdh, for the record "empty console output" , you may have seen this, but we see it on ec215:23
smoseron ec2, though, there is no console output, we believe as a result of kernel bug (or xen hypervisor borkage). here, in eucalyptus, thta is not hte case, i've verified that the console log is present in the /var/lib/eucalpytus/...15:24

papertigersitterbium: you still there?19:06
RoAkSoAxand further along the road we can automate the process of syncing the .tar.gz, uncompressing, and making the disk images for testdrive19:07
smoserRoAkSoAx, well, i'd ideally like it to be easy just like testdrive, and "just work".19:14

RoAkSoAxsmoser: which ones are the ones desired to testdrive, both?20:03
smoserwell, no releases are available yet that would be suitable.20:04
smoserbut i would suspect that if you test drive stable releases, you'd want to test drive stable uec images.20:04
smoser(once they're there)20:04
smoserbasically, i'd think it would be the same as the other things that you can "test drive"20:04
RoAkSoAxsmoser: yes but for TestDrive itself, what is the main test purpose, daily images?20:05
RoAkSoAxs/test purpose/test target/20:05
smoseri would think that it is no different for uec images compared to "other"20:05
smoserthat make sense ?20:06
smoserthey're just like releases of something else that ubuntu makes.20:06
smoserwhat is "the main test target" for daily ubuntu desktop isos ?20:07
RoAkSoAxsmoser: yes, but the way TestDrive handles it depends on the .manifest and .manifest-daily files20:07
RoAkSoAxwhich one is on releases.ubuntu.com and the other on cdimage.ubuntu.com20:07
smoserso you just want to know "is this thing a released image, or is it a daily" ?20:08
smoseri was unaware of .manifest-daily versus .manifest.20:08
RoAkSoAxsmoser: yes I just wanted to know that since at the end the isos are handled the same way, the onyl thing that would change would be obtaining the manifests20:09
smoserwell, you can easily do it based on the a20:11
smosera.) url20:11
RoAkSoAxsmoser: anyways, so it would be something like: 1. Obtain UEC .tar.gz list automatically and make it avaialble through TestDrive. 2. Sync .tar.gz, and prepare image (untar files). 3. Provide kvm with related parameters. 4. launch image20:12
smoserb.) presense of published-ec2-daily.txt versus published-ec2-release.txt20:12
smoserc.) you could actually just read http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/query/ for clean informatoin20:12
smoserRoAkSoAx, yeah. thats about right.20:12
smoseri'd say you might want to do: 2.5. create qcow2 image using backing image of the .img file (so it stays 'clean') . see man qemu-img and '-b'20:13
RoAkSoAxsmoser: but first of all i'd need a manifest similar to: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/.manifest-daily, which instead of listing ISO's, it will list .tar.gz files20:14
smoseroh.20:15
smoserquery does provide you taht.20:15
RoAkSoAxsmoser: should prolly be in http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/.manifest-daily20:16
RoAkSoAxkirkland: any thoughts? ^^20:16
smoseri'm not terribly opposed to providing that, but /query is the data that we're using elsewhere.20:16
RoAkSoAxsmoser: i think i'd rather have a manifest like those used in cdimage or releases.ubuntu given that will allow for easy integration to TestDrive20:18
RoAkSoAxand allow me to re-use most of the code20:18
RoAkSoAxand just say something like "if it is from uec category, sync .tar.gz instead of iso, and when finished, untar file and prepare image", so that launching would be done easier20:20
kirklandRoAkSoAx: smoser: yeah, i think it best if smoser generated a very similar manifest20:20
RoAkSoAxand whne launching i'd do "if from UEC category, use this custom KVM_ARGS"20:21
smoserwell, i can write the conversion from /query to whatever data format you're getting out.20:22
smoseri just don't want to write more data at this point.20:22
hallynThere are 3 suspiciously similar new samba bugs...  bug #619769, bug #619773, and bug #61954020:27
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 619769 in samba "package samba-common 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: el subproceso script post-installation instalado devolvió el código de salida de error 10" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/61976920:27

hallynbut i can't reproduce...20:27
RoAkSoAxsmoser: having a manifest in http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/.manifest-daily with this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/480079/ would simplify the integration with TestDrive a lot.20:27
hallynanyone see anything obvious why samba-common --configure would suddenly fail for 3 people in different locales?20:28
smoserRoAkSoAx, alright. i'll work on getting that created.20:29
RoAkSoAxsmoser: awesome then. Thanks :)!20:30
zulhallyn: which version?20:36
RoAkSoAxsmoser: btw... DOes http://uec-images.ubuntu.com support rsync?20:38
hallynzul: chasing a gremlin hanging out in my wifi card, need a minute...20:41
zulhallyn: okies20:41
hallynzul: one is Configurando samba-common (2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.1) ...20:41
smoserRoAkSoAx, yes.20:42
zulalso bug number :)20:42
smoserRoAkSoAx, one thing, though, is that the rsync of a .img.tar.gz is not as nice as it is with a .iso.20:42
hallynzul: another was  /var/cache/apt/archives/smbclient_2%3a3.4.0-3ubuntu5.6_i386.deb20:43
hallynzul: bug #s above: bug #619769, bug #619773, and bug #61954020:43
smoseras it is a partition image of a ext4 filesystem rather than a iso filesystem.  each day, the layout of the filesystem varies, and randomly so, while the creation of a .iso is more ordered, resulting in higher rsync friendlyness.20:43

RoAkSoAxsmoser: smoser well by default TestDrive uses rsync to sync the .iso, so I thought that I'd also use to sync the .tar.gz20:43
hallynzul: i dunno, it does look like it's all just 3 ppl having very similar bad luck at the same time20:43
smoseryeah, and that will work.20:44
hallyni just want to make sure i'm not ignoring a much deeper error that'll keep cropping up20:44
smoserthe difference is just that tomorrow you wont get as large a benefit from already having a .tar.gz as you would from having a .iso20:44
hallynheh, there's a php5 bug for SpamapS too20:44
zulhallyn: heh interesting20:45
RoAkSoAxsmoser: TestDrive does, and will do something like: rsync -azP rsync://uec-images.ubuntu.com/uec-images/server/maverick/current/maverick-server-uec-amd64.tar.gz .20:45
smoseryeah. it just wont get as much benefit if maverick-server-uec-amd64.tar.gz was here from yesterday.20:46
smoserand, in that case, you should probably remove -z if you could that'd be better.20:46
smoseras the data is already compressed.20:47

MTecknologyI have a UPS now and the data cable is connected to the server. How can I read information from the UPS?21:15
qman__MTecknology, apcupsd is the only software I know of for that21:16
qman__if your UPS isn't supported by it, and it didn't come with linux software, you're pretty much SOL21:16
MTecknologyqman__: thanks :)21:17
qman__unfortunately there isn't a UPS communications standard in wide use21:17
MTecknologyqman__: anything really simple to follow to start using it?21:20
qman__not really, pretty much have to just read through the configuration file and hope you can tell which model yours is21:20
qman__took me a while to get my backUPS pro working, and after all the effort it doesn't even tell me battery life21:22
qman__it only knows when power is lost and resumed21:23
MTecknologyouch21:23
qman__should have spent the extra $20 on the smartUPS model21:24
MTecknologyWhat did you spend on it?21:24
MTecknologyOurs cost $6521:24
qman__about $150 after shipping21:24
qman__it's a refurb, APC BackUPS Pro 140021:24
qman__it's otherwise a great unit, long live, easy battery replacement, 24v system21:24

superbradi have a question about setting up BIND on my server, the serverguide is a little confusing23:12
superbradi'm following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/dns-configuration.html23:12
superbradabout 4/5 down the page, it says:23:13
superbrad"23:13
superbradNext, on the Secondary Master, install the bind9 package the same way as on the Primary. Then edit the /etc/bind/named.conf.local and add the following declarations for the Forward and Reverse zones: "23:13
superbradthis doesn't make sense.  i had to create files - obviously overwriting won't work to add the secondary master23:14
superbradso do i make new files for the secondary master or insert extra records at the end of the files i already created (e.g., db.mydomain.com)23:15
qman__superbrad, a secondary master is a separate server23:16
qman__so the files you already created would not exist on it23:17
qman__if you only have one server, you only need the primary master configuration23:17
superbradi see ... my vps came with 2 IP addresses, I assumed I would use one for master and one for secondary master23:17
qman__you can, but you don't need to configure it again23:18
qman__the first configuration will listen on both23:18
qman__well, provided it's configured to23:18
superbraddo i need to mention the "slave zone" in the named.conf.local file?23:19
qman__I didn't read through the whole guide so I don't know if it's binding to a specific address23:19
qman__no, that's only for secondaries23:19
qman__if you only have the one server, that part is skipped entirely23:19
superbradk23:20
superbradif you've got a minute, I'm a little stumped on the next part also23:20
qman__sure23:20
superbradi recently got this vps and then got a domain name.  when i bought the domain name, i didn't have a spot to enter the IP address of my server.  how do i hook the domain to my IP?23:21
qman__you will have to do that from the company where you registered it23:22
qman__they should have a web portal where you can configure it23:22
qman__if you want to resolve it yourself, you can have them delegate authority to your server23:22
qman__most places offer the full DNS resolution though, so you wouldn't need to run BIND at all23:22
superbradall i can find in the domain area when I log in at my service provider is textboxes for four nameservers23:25
qman__the only situation I can think of where resolving it yourself would be more advantageous is if you wanted to point subdomains to different IPs23:25
superbradyeah, probably won't be23:25
qman__ok, looking at one of my domains23:27
qman__when I go to the configuration I have two options23:27
superbradi'm using burst.net, in case that helps.23:27
qman__"Update Name Servers" and "Register Name Server"23:27
qman__to run your own DNS, you would click "Register Name Server", give it a name like ns1.yourdomain.com, and type in the IP23:28
qman__if you want the registrar to host it for you, you would have to look elsewhere in the panel23:29
qman__for mine, it'd be "register services for domains"23:29
superbradi'd be fine with whatever way is easiest ... i contacted them on their instant chat, but the guy told me with VPS servers I had to set up my own nameserver23:30
qman__well, since you already went through setting up BIND, might as well just go with that23:30
superbradI don't have any of those options that you mention in my control panel23:30
qman__is your domain registered through the same company your VPS is hosted by?23:31
superbradyeah23:32
qman__well, somewhere there has to be an alternative option to just updating the name servers, which is what you are seeing23:32
=== gnoob is now known as xgorg
qman__I'd contact them and ask where you register a name server23:33
qman__if they don't, they're missing a huge step in the DNS process23:33
superbradyeah, hopefully i get someone more than a sales guy this time ... not very impressed with burst.net so far, other than the price23:33
qman__I've got domains through mydomain.com and byet23:33
qman__both have been good so far23:33
qman__mydomain has a better website, byet's are spread all over a bunch of them and sometimes kind of hoakey23:35
qman__but they make up for it with good tech support23:36
superbradyeah, i'll keep that in mind next time.23:36
superbradi've used godaddy in the past, but they were a little too spendy for vps compared to other options23:36
qman__I don't have a VPS through byet, just shared web hosting23:37
superbradi know they have that section very clear and easy to use in their control setup, i've used it before.23:37
qman__and domains23:37
superbradthanks a billion for your help23:37
superbradmuch appreciated23:37
qman__no problem23:37
