droogiei've created a kvm image using vmbuilder. After the image got created I added a new lvm volume for it. Now I'm trying to convert the .qcow2 image to that blockdevice using 'qemu-img convert -O raw input.cqow2 /dev/vg/lv' and qemu throws an error: qemu-img: Error while formatting '/dev/vg/lv', anybody got any suggestion?01:59

smoserRoAkSoAx, well, i suppose ideally both.02:13
smoserif you have some "profile" or some way that I indicate "this is a uec image", then you can easily do both. i don't mind if i have to say "--uec" or the equivalent.02:13
RoAkSoAxsmoser: I was thinking exaclty on the same thing. THe other way is to do a 'file uec.img' and determine if it is a UEC image, if all offcourse have the same output02:27
smoseri dont really care about auto determining.02:29
smoseri dont mind passing an arg that indicates what it is.02:29

smoserthanks for your work, and great job.02:51
smoserif i can nit-pick, then one thing i would really like to see is to do time stamp detection on the .img and -floppy files being newer than the tarfile02:51
smosersince you're using qemu-img backing store, you could then avoid the 'tar -Sxvzf' again, which is time consuming.02:52

intelliant[12:03] <intelliant> Hello! [12:03] <intelliant> Is this a good place to discuss ldap client auth issues/ [12:03] <intelliant> ? [12:04] <intelliant> I am authenticating an ubuntu LTS 10.04 desktop client against a centos based openLDAP server following this guide - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication#Notes%20for%207.10%20and%20later07:35
intellianthey! sorry for the copy/paste ^^ ? but i hope the request is understood ?07:36
twbintelliant: and what isn't working?07:41
intellianttwb: the client authentication throws me out randomly07:42
intelliantI was doing this for an ltsp-cluster setup on 10.0407:42
twb"randomly" as in it works sometime?07:42
intelliantyes it did work once 4 days ago and yesterday again it kept on dying on me07:42
intellianti did nt change a thing07:42
intellianteven the package db seemed to be broken for some reason so I have actually trashed the entire setup and am starting anew07:43
intelliantwanted to know if the link above was the correct method to do client auth07:44
intelliantor is there a better and proven way07:44
intelliant?07:44
twbclient auth should simply be "sudo aptitude install ldap-auth-client"07:44
intelliantokay will try this as well this time and keep you posted07:44
twbThe pam part is automatic as of 10.0407:45
intellianttwb: what's your timezone ?07:45
twbThe nss part would still need to be done by auth-client-config(8), so I guess you'd also need to call it.07:45
twbintelliant: Australia/Melbourne.07:45
intelliantphew so only a few more hrs07:45
intellianttwb: i am a complete novice at ubuntu but may call myself a medium hand at linux and opensuse07:48
intellianttwb: so should i make the changes to  /etc/auth-client-config/profile.d/open_ldap  and then execute  auth-client-config -a -p open_ldap07:49
intelliantor do something differently?07:49
twbintelliant: you're using 10.04?07:49
intelliantyes07:50
twbOK, what I do is:07:50
twb1) Install ldap-auth-config and ldap-utils; 2) run "auth-client-config -plac_ldap -tnss"; 3) add "bind_policy soft" and "pam_lookup_policy yes" to /etc/ldap.conf07:51
intelliantand using server edition for installing ltsp-root server and alternate for appserver as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSP-Cluster07:51
twbYou only need (3) if you're using slapo-ppolicy(5) on the LDAP server.07:51
intelliantany changes in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf ?07:52
intelliantI am not using SSL, TLS etc as of now07:52
twbintelliant: those are the only changes I make to the client07:53
twbInstalling ldap-auth-config should automatically configure ldap.conf and .secret07:53
intellianttwb: thanks for sharing your notes and guidance07:55
intelliantI shall revert with my results07:55
twbIf you can, you should also update that documentation page you were reading07:55
intelliantyes, once i achieve success, will do so, till now I am only confused by all the random results07:56
cemchey guys. I have problems installing a 10.04.1 amd64 server on a HP ProLiant DL385 G608:11
cemcI'm using an usb stick which I created with the Startup Disk creator from another 10.04 desktop install08:12
cemcthe server has 3xHDDs in RAID5, so ubuntu sees one sda. I boot from the usb stick, install ubuntu, everything seems fine08:12
cemc(nothing fancy, / partition, some swap and /opt). then I reboot, remove the usb, but the server won't boot, it's just "Attempting Boot from Harddisk", that's it08:13
twbshred -v is pretty cool08:15
twbPity it's totally useless with a modern filesystem08:15
cemcthen I go erase and recreate the raid5 from the controller menu. If I reboot, it goes on trying to boot from hdd, floppy, network, then reboots and tries again. that's all fine. but then, I try to boot from the stick again and it gives me error: no such dev: (UUID),08:15
cemcand I get a grub rescue> prompt08:15
twbcemc: I bet you've managed to install grub onto the USB key08:15
twbcemc: this is basically caused by grub2 being utterly evil and broken and retarded and I hate it08:16
raywanghello all, how to install posfix without further postinst? e.g. ignore the configuration stage when installing it08:16
twbWhat I do now, is load the installer into memory, then physically remove the USB key before partman starts, so that grub *can't* see the USB key and confuse it with the hard disk08:16
cemctwb: and how do you do that? the machine has 16gb ram, so that would be ok I guess08:17
twbOf course, this is only possible if you're using the netboot installer; the hd installers that want an .iso won't work because they need the .iso to stay visible08:17
twbcemc: loading the neboot media into memory only needs 16MB08:17
cemctwb: I see, but how exactly? what do I put on the usb? never did this before, only with normal iso on the usb stick08:18
twbYou put these on: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/{linux,initrd.gz}08:18
twbThen you point whatever bootloader you have on your USB key at them08:19
=== unreal_ is now known as unreal
raywanghi, all I was trying to install posfix without further postinst , so i append --pending, like dpkg -i --pending postfix.deb  but with no luck08:26
cemctwb: I don't need anything else on the stick, just these two files and syslinux.cfg ?08:28
twbcemc: well, and sylinux' ld.linux08:28
cemcsure, that too08:28
twbBut yeah, that's all08:28
twbThat basically contains enough to get the network working, and then everything else comes down from the networ08:29
=== unreal_ is now known as unreal
cemctwb: and when do I pull out the usb stick?08:29
twbAs soon as the kernel and ramdisk finish loading, you can pull it out08:29
Jordan_Utwb: This bug has nothing to do with grub2, it's a bug in debian-installer which existed with grub legacy as well (which has finally been fixed in debian testing/unstable and Ubuntu Maverick).08:43
Jordan_Utwb: When you get to the last screen of the installer there is a button labeled "advanced". Click that button and select the proper device for grub to be installed to.08:44
Jordan_Ucemc: ^^08:44
cemcJordan_U: yeah, I could've think of that myself... but I didn't think it's a grub thing. now I installed with twb's method, and it seems to work just fine. but just for the fun of it, I'll try that advanced thing08:46
cemcI guess it prefers sda over /dev/cciss/c0d0 ;)08:46
twbJordan_U: I see no tab in d-i, booting with priority=low.08:53
twbJordan_U: are you confusing d-i with ubiquity?08:53
twb(Indeed, IIRC without priority=low, it doesn't even prompt to install grub, it just does it.)08:54
Jordan_Utwb: Yes and no. The bug is in debian-installer code which is shared in ubiquity but the "advanced" button is only in ubiquity :)08:54
cemctwb: it did ask me, I didn't use priority=low (whatever that is)08:54
twbWell, this is -server, so we don't have access to ubiquity.08:55
Jordan_Utwb: Trying to figure out how to do the same from d-i right now.08:55
twbThe real problem is that device.map changes after you remove the USB key.08:55
twbBecause the BIOS temporarily places the USB key at (hd0) to boot the installer08:56
Jordan_Utwb: No, that's not the real problem.08:56
twbIf you say so08:56
cemcbut _something_ gets installed on the hdd too08:56
twbcemc: I assume the stage2 does08:56
cemccould be08:57
cemctwb: but your way worked too, with the netboot thing. thanks!09:00
intellianttwb: ssh server does not get installed by default while installing the server09:07
intelliantchoosing expert mode may allow me to choose but is there any other way after installaiton09:07
Jordan_Ucemc: I can't find a way to change what device grub is installed to from the server installer, which is unfortunate even without this bug. twb's method might be the only way to work around this bug currently with a server install.09:11
cemcJordan_U: I see, not really a problem here. Besides, this netboot install is kinda faster for me, I think09:21
cemcintelliant: apt-get install openssh-server ?09:21

sorenIf you know the ip, you also know whether it's ipv4 or ipv6.10:16

twba_ok: just symlink it10:50
twbOr edit the init.d/iptables-persistent script; it's a conffile, so that's allowed10:50
a_oktwb: I already made an normal init.d script just wanted to see if I could do it the ubuntu way and make an upstart job out of it10:51
twba_ok: what you'd do would be to write two upstart "task" jobs, one for up and one for down10:52
twbAnd trigger the latter "start on shutdown" or something10:52
a_oktwb: the think i wanted to do was "service iptables start" to load the rules and "service iptables stop" to flush the rules. I can make one or the other work but not both :(10:54
twbI'm amazingly unenthusiastic about upstart10:55
xamparti have /export as nfs-share. i did "mount --bind /some/other /export/dir", but it doesn't show at remote host10:57
twbxampart: unfortunately the NFS server is implemented in the kernel, and thus doesn't understand most other filesystem things10:58
twbxampart: you can either give up on that, or switch to the (slow, sucky) userspace NFS server.10:58
garymcsoren ok, im just going off what my netgear switch options gives me.10:59
xampartso ext4 is the problem? cause my other (mount --rbind /home/%u/Maildir /export/mail/%u/Maildir) mount works10:59
garymcis there a way of checking the port is 123 as thats what I set in my PoE switch but it isnt registering a time stamp11:00
twbNo, the problem is the NFS kernel server11:00
xampartwhy does my other mount work though?11:01
twbBecause it's not a bind mount?11:01
xampartyes it is11:01
twbHum, maybe you only need to rerun "exportfs", then11:01
twbI can't remember which specific bits NFS doesn't grok11:02
xamparti think it gets run every time nfs-kernel-server gets started11:06
twbWell, it gets magicked at boot11:06
twbBut if you just now ran "mount -obind", you should rerun it11:06
twbHistorically NFS exports only filesystems, not arbitrary directory trees, so you probably want an -r in there, too.11:07
xampartdidn't do the trick11:10

kimdaDoes Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with a HP Proliant DL160 G6 with P410 raid controller? Because I 've tried installing Debian Lenny amd64 on it but after installing I get a blinking cursor and no grub boot screen.12:16
alex88kimda: http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/hp seems ok to 9.04 so i think also with 10.0412:19
smoserRoAkSoAx, well a couple of things might cause the tarball (.tar.gz) or the contents (.img, -floppy) to timestamps other than current.  the downloadinging software you're using might respect/keep the timestamp sent in the http header (generally a god thing).  And then, when you extract, tar will also keep the modification dates that are in the tarball.12:24
smoserboth of those could be "fixed", by just setting the timestamp at the end, but would probably be better to store somewhere what those were, and compare versus them.  if they're not the same as your record says, then assume modified and re-extract.12:25
kimdaalex88: thanks I will try it out12:25

alvinIsn't Gentoo moving away from init? (I liked gentoo's system too.) I forgot the name, but it's not moving to upstart.12:40

alvinI have mixed feelings about upstart. You need to do some things after booting that really should happen automatically. Like restarting libvirt-bin or quasselore ir you run those.13:02
a_okjoschi: ow didn't even know that it was bsd style. I use arch on my laptop and is the easist to configure. but you can easily screw up dependencies. and don't think it has runlevel seperation13:03
a_okalvin: my problem is that I have to many services installed that I most of the time do not need running perminently or might even cause serious problems when they start on auto13:04
a_oktry forinstance updating open-iscsi when your server does an iscsi boot.... It will hang on shutdown13:05

a_okthe problem in this case was more that ubuntu packages try to start services when installing and add them to be booted (what means that why will also be brought down on shutdown what was the problem in my case)13:08

JasonMSPAnyone else have thoughts on FTP access?  Im looking for a solution to provide FTP access for my clients to their /srv/www/folder but I don't want them anywhere else on the system.  VSFTP has been recommended which I've installed but not coming up with a suitable working solution. I don't want to adduser everytime I want to give a new user access to the clients ftp folder.17:14
pmatulisJasonMSP: so allow them to connect with a common user17:15
pmatulisJasonMSP: i think i may have misunderstood you.  each client has their own area?17:16
pmatulisJasonMSP: in that case i don't see why you resist creating a user for each client17:16
JasonMSPpmatulis: each client has their own website I am hosting for them.  Your suggestion may be suitable if the clients are ok with one login, but that may not be the case.17:17
JasonMSPpmatulis:  probably because Im obsessive about organization and giving as little access as possible to any part of the server.  I also have not been able to successfully root them to their folder.  They arrive at their folder but then can cd .. up17:18
pmatulisJasonMSP: well you just need to grok chrooting in vsftpd then17:18
pmatulisJasonMSP: if your clients are savvy-enough an alternative is sftp17:19
JasonMSPpmatulis: SFTP was suggested the other day but from what I have read on the manpages this is even further over my head.17:24
pmatulisJasonMSP: are your clients Windows people?17:25
JasonMSPpmatulis:  i think they will need a gui so if I understand SFTP correctly it is just like sshing into the system?17:25
JasonMSPpmatulis: Mostly apple at the moment, but some windows.17:25
JasonMSPpmatulis:  I can recommend suitable FTP clinents for them.  Thats not a problem.17:26
pmatulisJasonMSP: well setting up chrooted sftp is not hard17:26

Italian_PlumberIf ubuntu server is based on debian linux, why does the installation for ubuntu fit on a CD, but you need five DVDs for debian?18:45
bventuragood morning!  hey is there a way to use the command line to tell if you need to reboot after applying updates with "aptitude safe-upgrade" ?  the only way I see that now is if I log out and then log back in, its on the MOTD......18:45
Italian_Plumberhttp://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.5/i386/bt-dvd/18:45
patdk-wkItalian_Plumber, I don't see how they have anything to do with each other, as far as that goes18:46
patdk-wkand actually, I normally burn ubuntu to a dvd, not a cd18:46
Italian_Plumberwell who buys blank CDs anymore.  :)18:47

patdk-wkwhy would I waste a dvd for 100megs, when a cd works, and is 3-4x less expensive18:48

dominicdinadahow to remove gnome and xorg from a server without disturbing anything else ?18:51
patdk-wkremove ubuntu-desktop?18:51
dominicdinadayes18:52
patdk-wkthen do it :)18:52
dominicdinadaWell how do you go about doing it without breaking the server install. IE settings for network, shares etc18:52
* patdk-wk wonders what one has to do with the other18:53
patdk-wkif you using gnome things to manage the server, then yes, it will break18:53
patdk-wkthat is your fault for not moving that stuff out first though18:53
dominicdinadaummm wouldnt the auto up interfaces ? not work anymore ?18:53
dominicdinadapatdk-wk: 4tb is way to much to back up18:54
patdk-wkit would, but if your using network-manager18:54
patdk-wkwho said anything about backup?18:54
* patdk-wk runs18:54
dominicdinadaoh just the network files ?18:54
dominicdinadaand samba shares  ?18:54
dominicdinadaok i guess i should ask it like this.18:55
dominicdinadawhen REmoving the gnome desktop. Will it have ANY effect at all on the samba shares. network, hosts, user, etc files ?18:55
patdk-wkmaybe18:55
patdk-wkdid you use network/interfaces for network/hosts/..., or network-manager :)18:56
bventuradominic: just back up your /etc/networking/interfaces file and /etc/samba/smb.comf and everything should be OK18:56
* dominicdinada hands patdk-wk a six shot revolver with one bullet... maybe18:56
dominicdinadabventura:  ok :P18:56
patdk-wkwell, I dunno what you did, or how you configured the server :)18:56
patdk-wkyou won't loose anything by uninstalling18:56
bventuraand if you do those two files I mention should be all you need to get it back18:57
patdk-wkbut if you used it like a desktop, and setup samba shares like a desktop, I wouldn't know18:57
fxhi guys, i wonder if youd be able to give me a quick hand, people at #vsftpd are unresponsive, I need to chroot all users to one directory18:57
dominicdinadait is not a wireless interface but i seem to remember by default prior to the gnome desktop install that the network never auto connected. even though i set it to do so18:57

patdk-wkthat doesn't even fill up half my width :) but it's long and large as hell :)19:00
dominicdinadaoh and i got like 5 other questions also19:05
dominicdinadaWhen you remove the desktop, will it effect the samba server, apache, mysql, php daemons from starting with the machine that was another concern19:05

dominicdinadacould an update have caused the server to set a default bandwidth, I have noticed over the last month that the bandwidth to the server never exceeds 400kbs when before I was reaching 1.5mbps since it is only a local server there is no increased traffic19:20
patdk-wkthe simple answer, yes19:22
patdk-wkan update *could* of done anything :)19:22
patdk-wkis that your issue, 99.999% sure an update didn't cause your problem19:22
dominicdinadai check the logs and nothing to suspect anything otherwise, as it is set to drop almost all external packets not local to the network19:23
patdk-wkfirst, what is the problem?19:23
patdk-wkyou said local server19:24
dominicdinadayes19:24
patdk-wkso I dunno how local server has external packets19:24
dominicdinadai dont trust someone getting past crappy routers19:24
dominicdinadain my router logs there is alot of activity with people attempting to gain access, but it is stopped at the router level. anyhow going from a 1.5mbps connection to maxing at 350kbs makes streaming anything impossible. The cap on file transfers was set to none but 65kbps is unacceptable19:26
