| MagicFab | hi all | 00:21 |
|---|---|---|
| MagicFab | I am creating a small bash script to be invoked from cron. Where would a sysadmin expect to find such a file ? | 00:21 |
| SpamapS | MagicFab: if its tied to a deamon, then /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/lib. If its tied to a user, I'd recommend putting it in their home directory, $HOME/bin works. | 00:23 |
| SpamapS | MagicFab: I sould say, /usr/local/lib/daemon-name not /usr/local/lib directly | 00:23 |
| MagicFab | not, it's just a regular maintenance task - check if XYZ exists, then do ABC | 00:24 |
| MagicFab | /usr/local/bin is what I thought but yes, the guide mentions /home. tx.! | 00:24 |
| MagicFab | SpamapS, thank you | 00:26 |

| clusty | caution: screen can do that? | 15:22 |
| caution | yep | 15:22 |
| clusty | my screen does not show anything | 15:22 |
| jpds | caution: "man screen" has the details. | 15:22 |
| caution | it has colours too | 15:23 |
| caution | I don't think my screen version is new enough | 15:23 |
| clusty | i am wondering if it's normal for parted to take 10h to resize a 1TB mostly empty partition by 1 MB | 15:23 |
| jpds | caution: You'd probably be better off just using byobu though. | 15:23 |
| caution | ah thanks! | 15:25 |
| jpds | clusty: You have to customize screen to make it do those things, it doesn't do anything by default. | 15:25 |
| clusty | baf | 15:25 |
| caution | looks like I was probably using byobu instead of screen | 15:25 |
| caution | or does screen end up looking like that too? | 15:25 |
| clusty | it fills like it's missing the spot with me. I am using screen as a NOHUP replacement | 15:25 |
| clusty | not as a terminal divider | 15:26 |
| clusty | launching stuff that takes a long time over ssh | 15:26 |
| clusty | and don't want them dieing when my ssh does | 15:26 |
| clusty | and nohup is annoying to use | 15:27 |
| jpds | caution: screen end up looking like that? | 15:27 |
| caution | alias screen='byobu' | 15:27 |
| caution | anything wrong with setting that alias? | 15:27 |
| jpds | caution: byobu is just screen with fancyness added. | 15:27 |
| caution | is it a separate version of screen or does it reconfigure screen? | 15:28 |
| jpds | The latter. | 15:28 |

| saravanan | Hi all :) | 19:21 |
| saravanan | i need to know if | 19:21 |
| saravanan | ubuntu server is a best match for virtual appliances to be run on cloud. | 19:22 |
| saravanan | ?? | 19:22 |
| saravanan | hi all | 19:28 |
| saravanan | i got few doubts in xen | 19:28 |
| saravanan | on ubuntu server | 19:28 |
| saravanan | is there any there awake? | 19:33 |
| ChmEarl | saravanan, search archives at xen-users@lists.xensource.com and see how to custom build pv_ops kernel and xen 4.0 on lucid or karmic | 19:36 |
| saravanan | Hi ChmEarl , | 19:37 |
| ChmEarl | saravanan, I've done it all in 3 hours or less: install OS, config for xen, config to build, build Xen, build kernel, install | 19:37 |
| saravanan | is ubuntu server a better option than centOS / fedora for virtualization? | 19:38 |
| ChmEarl | saravanan, if you want the latest+speed+efficiency | 19:38 |
| saravanan | could you please point me to such implementation references on XEN | 19:39 |
| ChmEarl | fedora has packages for dom0 and hypervisor if you hunt for 3rd party repo | 19:39 |
| saravanan | i need to support hypervisor too. | 19:40 |
| ChmEarl | saravanan, search archives at xen-users@lists.xensource.com (mailing list) | 19:40 |
| saravanan | so does ubuntu doesnt support ? | 19:40 |
| ChmEarl | saravanan, ubuntu has no packages, but is the best platform to build and runn | 19:40 |
| saravanan | and could you please suggest some tools/techniques to create virtual images? | 19:42 |
| saravanan | or virtual appliances. | 19:42 |
| ChmEarl | saravanan, xen tools (xm) and debootstrap/chroot does it all | 19:42 |
| ChmEarl | saravanan, nearly all distros have xen aware netboot installs | 19:43 |
| saravanan | ChmEarl, what open source tools used for creating virtual appliances for vmware? | 19:46 |
| ChmEarl | saravanan, you are wasting time. Do you want to run xen on Ubuntu or not? | 19:49 |
| saravanan | thats wat i am confused about, | 19:49 |
| saravanan | i need ti support xen,kvm, vmware and hypervisor | 19:49 |
| saravanan | whichever supports these i wil go for it. | 19:50 |
| saravanan | i need to design the infrastructure fr the same. | 19:50 |
| saravanan | so i am researching on the Server OS | 19:51 |

| allquixotic | Hi -- I would like to connect to libvirt remotely using an encrypted channel, so I've been using SSH so far. But virt-manager wants to login as root always. I want to disable logging in as root to reduce attack surface on the server. Any idea of a workaround to this? | 22:11 |
| qman__ | any system that does need to log in as root over SSH should be using strong, well-guarded keys to authenticate, not passwords | 22:12 |
| qman__ | significantly reducing the attack surface | 22:12 |
| allquixotic | qman__: I'm already using public key authentication, but it's even more secure to prevent root logins over SSH at all. | 22:14 |
| qman__ | of course, and it's even more secure to not allow remote logins at all ;) | 22:15 |
| qman__ | it's a tradeoff, security versus convenience | 22:15 |
| qman__ | if you need more protection, I'd suggest blocking direct connections to that server from the internet, and instead using SSH tunneling to a computer at the gateway | 22:16 |
| allquixotic | I'm not looking for something that extreme. My question is about alternative ways of authentication for libvirt. | 22:16 |
| allquixotic | Right now, libvirtd is the only service that *requires* a root login over SSH on the box. For anything else, I use SSL with trusted certificates. | 22:17 |
| allquixotic | I see just now that virt-manager allows you to create a connection to libvirt with SSL and X509 certs... hmm... I guess my question now is how to set that up on the server. :) | 22:17 |

| benedikt | how do i create a virtual hard drive in libvirt/kvm ? | 22:44 |
| hallyn | in, or for? you generally use qemu-img | 22:46 |
| hallyn | qemu-img create -f qcow my_hd.img 10G | 22:46 |
| benedikt | bah, i meant for :) | 22:47 |
| hallyn | Then you can mostly 'virsh edit <vm_name>' and copy-paste the disk section to hook in the new disk | 22:47 |
| hallyn | heh, just making sure :) | 22:47 |
| benedikt | vi!? This has to be fixed | 22:49 |
| hallyn | doesn't it just use $VISUAL? | 22:49 |
| benedikt | probably | 22:50 |
| hallyn | so replace it with ed and be happy :-) | 22:50 |
| allquixotic | benedikt: if you can get libvirt connected to virt-manager, you can create the HDD graphically... although I don't think virt-manager is yet as flexible as virsh, so YMMV. | 22:50 |
| benedikt | i was thinking more along the lines of emacs :P | 22:50 |
| hallyn | yeah i dont' know that you can use virt-manager to hook in virtio disks yet, in particular | 22:51 |
| benedikt | allquixotic: i connected with virt-manager but it doesn't seem to have any 'add hardware' features | 22:51 |
| allquixotic | I just asked a question about libvirt though; I'm setting up mine so that it only allows clients with signed X.509 certs (signed from the local CA) to connect | 22:51 |
| allquixotic | benedikt: Which version of Ubuntu? | 22:51 |
| benedikt | allquixotic: lucid | 22:51 |
| allquixotic | Same here... 10.04.1 Server | 22:51 |
| allquixotic | when I connect to the remote libvirtd using virt-manager (also on lucid), I can create hard disks for kvm graphically | 22:51 |
| allquixotic | it prompts you for the size and image type and all | 22:52 |
| benedikt | allquixotic: where? I didnt see it. | 22:52 |
| allquixotic | benedikt: it was when I first created the VM... although I'd think the same feature would be available with an extant VM | 22:52 |
| allquixotic | provided you shut it down first | 22:52 |
| allquixotic | can't add hardware to a running VM afaik | 22:52 |
| hallyn | benedikt: iirc you switch to 'edit VM' in the top menu of the window where you have the VM's screen up, and on the left there is 'add hardware' | 22:53 |
| allquixotic | ah yes, you have to view the details of the VM | 22:53 |
| allquixotic | then it lists the hardware pieces sorta like how VMware Server / VirtualBox do | 22:53 |
| benedikt | *cough* it might be a good idea to shut down the vm first | 22:53 |
| basso | how can i set a higher priority on a process | 22:53 |
| allquixotic | hehe, you had to shutdown and now you can add new disk? :) | 22:53 |
| hallyn | basso: renice | 22:53 |
| hallyn | (giveit a lower #) | 22:54 |
| basso | thx hallyn | 22:54 |
| hallyn | np | 22:55 |
| benedikt | hallyn: the image i created with qemu-img keeps on growing after i created it | 23:01 |
| hallyn | benedikt: yes, it'll keep growing as you fill it up, up to whatever size you specified | 23:01 |
| benedikt | hm | 23:02 |
| benedikt | meh, thats maybe not a bad idea | 23:02 |
| benedikt | hallyn: is it usable until it has reached the size? | 23:12 |
| hallyn | benedikt: hm? of course. if i understand you correctly | 23:18 |
| benedikt | then it was a classic case of the pebkac | 23:18 |
| hallyn | why? did it break? | 23:19 |
| benedikt | the vm froze when i created the partition with fdisk | 23:19 |
| hallyn | jinkeys | 23:27 |
| hallyn | i've not actually had that happen. Did you add it with the virt-manager gui, or virsh edit, or something else? | 23:27 |
| benedikt | virsh edit | 23:27 |
| hallyn | can you put the output of a 'virsh dump <vm_name>' on paste.ubuntu.com? (or, is it working now?) | 23:35 |
| benedikt | hallyn: i just forced it off and tried again | 23:36 |
| benedikt | http://i.imgur.com/zUwRr.png | 23:39 |
| benedikt | it doesnt look too bright right now | 23:39 |
| hallyn | benedikt: i wanted to see the xml definition of the vm | 23:43 |
| benedikt | i konw, but thats not the problem :) | 23:43 |
| hallyn | oh - what is? | 23:44 |
| benedikt | thats the outbput from mkfs | 23:45 |
| hallyn | what is the problem i meant? | 23:45 |
| benedikt | something is corrupt | 23:45 |
| benedikt | not sure what yet | 23:46 |
| hallyn | Interesting - i've not seen the like | 23:46 |
| benedikt | im trying to create a disk on a different hard drive on the host machine | 23:46 |
| benedikt | its new and completely unused so it might be corrupted, but id have thought mkfs would have shown that when i partitioned it | 23:47 |
| benedikt | when formatting it stops on inode 42 and spits out kernel messages | 23:54 |
| benedikt | crated the disk with virt-manager and attached it with virt-manager this time | 23:54 |
| benedikt | oh wait, it got to inode 63 now | 23:54 |
| benedikt | seems to work much better when i create the vdisk on the same physical disk as the vm | 23:58 |
| allquixotic | I modified /etc/default/libvirt-bin to pass the --listen flag (I want libvirt to listen for SSL) but it won't... any ideas what I need to do differently? | 23:58 |
| allquixotic | it looks like Upstart does not read /etc/default/libvirt-bin | 23:59 |
| allquixotic | because libvirt is still started with `/usr/sbin/libvirtd -d' | 23:59 |
| allquixotic | no --listen | 23:59 |
