Psi-JackSpamapS: heh, so far, so good. There was a depenancy conflict because it was looking for a slightly newer version of pacemaker-dev, but I think it built the debs. :d00:05
SpamapSPsi-Jack: if it all works out, you should submit it as a backport.00:07
Psi-JackHeh yeah, prolly. :)00:08

droogieI've just installed iRedmail following their instructions and I encountered a problem. I know this is perhaps not the correct channel to ask the question, but I'll try anyway. Everything except phpldapadmin works fine. The problem with phpldapadmin is that it is unable to base dn and thus object navigation is broken. I've verified the dn I use to login with in slapd.conf and it is correct. I can search the ldapdatabase using phpldapa08:39

Psi-JackI installed cman even though I'm using pacemaker, but it still gives a dlm: not installed rc status.12:57
Guest56018I have found an AMI with Ubuntu 10.04 installed, it is EBS and i configured everything. The performance is on c1.small13:10
Guest56018What can i do to increase the performance to e.g. c1.xlarge13:10
Daviey"performance"?13:10
Guest56018http://aws.amazon.com/de/ec2/instance-types/13:11
DavieyGuest56018: You essentially want to upgrade your instance to a higher spec?13:11
Guest56018Amazon is offering different performance types for their virtual machines.13:11
Guest56018Thats right, but with the current data on my volume13:12

RoyKhi all. I have this machine used as a number cruncher - it seems the kernel is leaking memory somehow. See http://pastebin.com/ZFbxG3Ni for free/slabinfo/ps. any idea what may cause this?13:31
=== ivoks is now known as ivoks_away
Psi-JackHmm interesting.13:35
Psi-JackI upgraded to the PPA for lucid-cluster for pacemaker stuff, which got me dlm controld for it all, but the ocf:pacemaker:controld does not have the parameter for "daemon".13:36
pmatulisRoyK: why do you say there is a leak?13:36
Psi-JackHeh, interesting. Though the ocf:pacemaker:countrold doesn't have the "daemon" paremeter, it checks the resource-name instance for if it has [gG][fF][sS] or [dD][lL][mM] in it to determine if it's a gfs or dlm instance. ;)13:46
smoserGuest56018, your big issue is with architecture. the largest you can go in i386 is c1.medium.13:49
smoserIf you want to move to c1.medium, its easy.13:49
Guest56018wow, nice! OK; i have to make a whole new AMI (like ubuntu 64bit), and do everything again13:50
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
smoseryou stop the instance (ec2-stop-instances), and then start the instance with a new --instance-type (ec2-modify-instance-attribute --instance-type c1.medium <iid>) , ec2-start-instances13:51
ttxhggdh, kirkland: ping me when around. need status on server-maverick-uec-testing and server-maverick-uec-liveusb13:51
Guest56018Thank you, very helpful! Do there exist different package versions of 32 and 64 bit? I use apache, php, exim4 and so on13:52
smoseri have never tried it, but it may be possible for you to boot an i386 root filesystem on an x86_64 arch, you'd have to get the x86_64 modules installed in the root filesytem though.  (you probably dont want to do this)13:52
Guest56018I cannot migrate my 32 bit EBS to a 64 bit AMI13:52
smoserwell, maybe you coudl. its just not goig nto be easy or ideal.13:53
smoserhttp://uec-images.ubuntu.com/server/releases/10.04/13:53
smoserthose are our released AMI ids.  we should have refreshed ones later today.13:53
smoserjust pick a x86_64 instance, basically everything will be the same unless you have some arch specific code.13:53
Guest56018OK understood everything! Thank you!! I do it from scratch again with your AMIs and hope that everything that worked in the 32 bit now works again13:54
smoserthere really is very little "works on i386 doesn't on x86_64"13:54
Guest56018Final question: This is one possibility to "scale up". Another possibility is to scale up with multiple instances and a load balancer. i have now 5 instances running of one AMI. but where do i have to attach my EBS volume to?13:55
Guest56018i don't have RDS nor S3, only an apache website with CPU-needing programs on it.13:55

RoyKven going through just this chapter, I got the impression that the book is geared for the newbie (or wannabe) Linux server administrator.

=== ivoks_away is now known as ivoks
iceflatlinethesheff17, gotcha, thanks much.15:35

iceflatlinehggdh: small home svn and web server - nothing too killer.  First time with VMware though...15:38
patdk-wkiceflatline,  what are you going use it for?15:41
patdk-wkhmm, web could use some mem, all depends15:41
patdk-wkvmware is good at swapping mem though15:41
MTecknologyiceflatline: I had my first web server on about 16MB RAM - It didn't go fast.. but it worked - now I'd suggested a minimum of ~64MB for Ubuntu server + Nginx15:41
MTecknologyno.. it was 8MB..15:42
MTecknologyI think, I know I decked it out15:42
patdk-wksmallest I could get ubuntu server to use was 24megs ram :)15:42
iceflatlinepatdk-wk: thanks. I've got plenty of sys mem, so would prefer to avoid swapping if I can. I was considering bumping virtual mem to 102415:42

hggdhsmoser: I agree, but I would still like to run (for a test) 1.316:13
ttxsmoser: that is quickly becoming our common position16:13
Psi-JackIs it even possible to run clvm without cman?16:38
smoserHey. i'm looking for suggestions...16:43
Psi-JackSuggestion: Ask your question.16:44
smoserI have been running, for quite a while, tests from lp:~smoser/+junk/ec2-test16:44
smoserthat really needs to move to the ubuntu-on-ec2 project or somewhere, but ignore that for the moment.16:44
smoserwhat i'm looking for suggestions on is that it creates logs of the test results.16:44
smoserI'd like to store those logs somewher other than my laptop :)16:45
smosera bzr branch along side of the test suite, seems to be a reasonable place, but the logs are somewhat large (I currenlty have 86M of logs)16:45
GPsi-Jack: I'm pretty sure no16:46
smoserthey're text, so they compress well, but compressing them before checking them in means that a.) they're less useful and b.) they're binary blobs in a revision control system.16:46
GPsi-Jack: I worked w/ cman a lot w/ my old job, and I'm pretty sure clvmd has to use cman for locking16:46
smoserhggdh, i think that you are checking in logs larger than that, though, is that right ?16:46
GPsi-Jack: I'll just have a quick look16:47
Psi-JackG: Actually, I just did. Just that the ubuntu clvmd init script checks for /etc/cluster/cluster.conf and cman_tool status, but cman communicates through openais and dlm_controld for /everything/, which I already have pacemaker bringing up dlm_controld and it's of course using openais.16:47
Psi-JackErr... clvmd communicates through...16:48
Psi-JackSo far though, now that I took out those initial checks in clvmd, it's running and appearing to function without cman at all.16:50
Psi-JackIt's just like people think gfs2 requires cman to work, because of gfs_controld, but it's not required, as I'm initiating gfs_controld from pacemaker. ;)16:53
GPsi-Jack: well the reason for that is because it's the only solution that Red Hat officially supports (why people think it's the only way)16:53
Psi-JackYep. :)16:54
Psi-JackPacemaker's definitely come a looooooong way.16:54
Psi-JackAs has it's documentation, for once I finally understand it!16:54

smoserhm..17:16
smoseris that true ?17:16
hggdhwell, I am playing it safe, so I save *all* logs17:16
smosera bzr push should send the repo, not the checked out files, and the repo may be compressed for you17:16

hggdhoh17:17
hggdhbloody hell, I forgot that bzr does a good part of it17:17
hggdh:-(17:17
smoseris there reason for me to compress (ie, create a .tar.gz) before checking something in ? will that gain me anything ? versus checking in a large bunch of text files17:17
smosergit does a fantastic job. i really dont have any experience with bzr in this regard.17:18

smoserwell, i dont think svn diff would work anyway :) (its bzr)17:18
smoser:)17:18
RoyKk17:18
smoserbut yeah, i am just wondering if there is *any* benefit to doing it.17:19
hggdhand, in my case, every new log upload is a Brand New Directory, so no diffs17:19
smoserat first blush, it seems like you're compressing something, so that will smaller.17:19
hggdhsmoser: I can try17:19
smoserhggdh, but even the new directory may be compressed.17:19
smoserie, you could store *everything* in .bzr in a packed/compressed format17:20
hggdhright now I tar -cz every thing I upload17:20

smoserfiguring out what you *want* to do is probably a good place to start :)17:54
n0a1iashaha, im not into programing, in taking cico classes and im gonna be a computer engineer, so is there anything i would need for that?17:55
squidlysmoser: that only place to start really.. unless you want a server there doing nothing except warming your house and using more power17:55
smosercico == cisco ?17:55
n0a1iaswel im am cold....17:55
webwurstn0a1ias: and here is the link regarding ubuntu-server http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ :)17:56
n0a1iasyes, im on a netbook with a small keyboard, sorry17:56
mickster04n0a1ias: yeah, when my room gets cold I play some games to make it warm me upD17:56
n0a1iasha17:56
smoserif you're interested in networking, there are loads of things you can do. you could run an VPN on it, play with routing, learn ipv6.17:56
webwurstn0a1ias: you could setup a webserver yourself as a start http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/httpd.html17:57
n0a1iasi like the idea of vpn, but i use my home network for experimentation.17:58
squidlyand that is just for starters17:58
n0a1iaswell here, lets start at the begining17:59
n0a1iaswhat is a server?17:59
webwurstn0a1ias: pls read the server-guide and ask what you dont' understand ;)18:00
n0a1iasok.18:00
mickster04 n0a1ias again this isn't a kindergarten of servers....18:00
webwurstn0a1ias: you know wikipedia?18:00
n0a1iasi know18:01
n0a1iasyea, i know what a server is, im just putting the deffinition out there so i can find out what i what it to do18:01
shaunon0a1ias, wrong way around imho.  if you decide it's a hammer now, you're just going to bend a lot of nails18:02
shaunofigure out what you want to do, and then worry about getting the tools to play along18:02
n0a1iasisnt that what im doing? i think i might go for a shh but im not shure btw18:03
mickster04n0a1ias: you really don't have any need of a server therefore it is a waste of electricity18:04
webwurstn0a1ias: yeah, just do it http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html18:04
mickster04n0a1ias: you can install normal ubuntu on older hardware too, or look at things like puppy linux18:04
squidlypick something to learn and learn it18:04
n0a1iasi know but i want a server, if for no other reason than that im still doing it18:05
n0a1iascould i have it do multiple things?18:06
mickster04n0a1ias: if you want to install a frontend onto the server (a gui) you may aswell install ubuntu and install the server type packages oontop of that#18:06
webwurstn0a1ias: do it! and then ask if it does not work18:06
mickster04n0a1ias: of course18:06
n0a1iasok thanks, im going with shh, and a proxy server18:06
mickster04n0a1ias: have fun18:07

smoserhte bzr repo is tracking the directories. i just created the tarballs to see what size they would be themselves.18:14
smoser(ie, if i checked them in).18:14
smoserso, the checkout is 7.4 + 3.2*2 = 13.8 M.18:14
smoserthe tarballs would be 1.8M18:15
smoserand the .bzr dir is 4.1M18:15
mickster04is there a non-caching proxy for ubuntu?18:15
smosermickster04, i would guess that you could turn caching off on squid or robably any other proxy.18:16
smoserhggdh, when i checked those tarballs into a new repo, the .bzr dir was 1.9M.18:17
smoserso, this is just "initial state", but the .tar.gz checkins do benefit you at least there. maybe later in repo life you'd get better delta storage.18:17
mickster04smoser: well lasst tim i tried when a user was denied access it still mention cache rather than proxy18:17
smoseri really odnt have any experience with it, sorry. it just would seem like you could set the cache size to 0 or very low and essentially kill it18:18
mickster04smoser: yeah thats what i thought. i wonder if theres a way of testing it18:19
tynotpor favor, fresh 10.04.1 server install. setup local ip, sn & dns (off-site). can ping everywhere, but dns not working. couldn't download any packages. help?18:19
smosertynot, your /etc/resolv.conf has a dns ?18:20
tynoton a macbook pro in the same local network. best way to term into it to check?18:21
tynotsmoser, i thought i entered it.18:22
smoser'term into it' ? ssh ip.address18:24
mickster04smoser: does mac have an ssh server?18:24
smosermy guess is that you put in a bad dns server, or cannot reach the dns server.18:24
smoseri have no idea. but my guess is yes.18:24
squidlyyes it does18:38
mickster04squidly: what does?18:41
zulsmoser: there isnt a <name>-initrd-virtual anymore in maverick?18:46
smosersilly you18:46
smoserthat was gone in lucid18:46
smoseruec-publish-tarball is what you want to use.18:46
zulsmoser: its in the readme though18:46
smoserwhat README ?18:47
smoserdoes it not say optional ?18:47
smoserhttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-on-ec2/vmbuilder/automated-ec2-builds/annotate/head%3A/README.files ?18:47
zulah yes...i didnt read that part18:47
smoser:)18:47
lifelesssmoser: not sure what you're asking18:56
smoserwell, basically, hggdh is checking into a bzr repo a bunch of .tar.gz files that contain a directory full of logs (text)18:58
smoserhe's doing that in an effort to save disk and bandwidth18:58
smoseri had hoped/thought that it not actually save .bzr/ space or bandwidth, and thus he could simply check in uncompressed text logs.18:59
smosermy test shows that bzr does an OK job (gets some compression) but not a great job.  in the initial commit the .bzr directory is smaller by checking in .tar.gz files than by checking in dir/*.txt files.19:00
smoserbefore testing it, i was asking you if checking in .tar.gz files was pointless.19:00
smosermy test did only initial check in, i'm not sure if future commits would see better deltas with text than with tar19:00
smoserthat all make sense ?19:00
lifelesschecking in .tar.gz is pointless19:01
lifelessit is in fact counterproductive because zlib fucks with the data so that its extremely hard to compress it further19:01
lifelessbzr and git use the same underlying compressor; we do different things on top, but I'd expect pretty similar results19:02
smoserbzr did better out of the gate than .git did.19:02
smoserbut git repack came away ahead19:02
smoseragain, this is only after the initial commit.19:03
lifelesssure19:03
smoserits not completely counterproductive, as my numbers show above19:03
lifelesssmoser: du -sh .bzr is often an inaccurate count19:03
lifelessparticularly if you're trying to assess bandwidth and space over time19:04
axisysanyone know the ubuntu channle name for ubuntu virtualization talk ?19:04
smoseraxisys, either here or ubuntu-cloud19:04
lifelessif you want to measure active storage you need to exclude .bzr/repository/{obsolete-packs,upload}19:04
axisyssmoser: i think it something like #ubuntu-virt.. or something.. i forgot19:05
smoseraxisys, http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com/msg04352.html19:05
axisyssmoser: no wonder :-)19:05
axisyssmoser: thanks19:05
axisyssmoser: i was trying to go to #ubuntu-virt.. should have redirected me to #ubuntu-server .. may be it did and I did not pay attention19:06
smoseraxisys, it did19:07
smoseryou're here :)19:07
axisyssmoser: i usually login to #ubuntu-server by default.. may be that is why i did not notice.. thanks19:07
axisysi have a laptop with intel core 2 duo 2.4ghz, 8gb ram and 750gb hard drive.. i want to setup my private cloud in here while still have gnome (after all this is my laptop) .. what path is recommended for that ?19:09
axisysshould i install desktop and then use vbox to install ubuntu cloud ?19:09
axisysor should i do desktop + kvm and do the cloud using kvm ?19:10
axisystoo many choices.. :-)19:10

mickster04apt-get dist-upgrade will update to a newer version of ubuntu right (think 9.10 to 10.04)22:02
panfisti was in here asking about umasks for nfs shares, and i guess the general answer is that the system umask applies to local and nfs file systems22:06
panfistin general, i want an nfs share where all users on my network can collaborate, regardless of group membership22:06
panfistbut, i don't want to change the umask of each system that will compromise a user's own files22:06
panfistso what's the correct (or a good) practice in ubuntu for creating a shared network space where any users are free to read/write each other's files, just in that one space and not in general?22:06

patdk-wknow that you used your 1 question allocation, move along :)22:55
n0a1iasthat way all the info is in the same place22:55

n0a1iasoh, ok22:59
n0a1iasso no.22:59
n0a1iasanyway22:59
n0a1iasi just installed squid23:00
n0a1iashow do i control it?23:00
patdk-wkdepends on your definition of control23:00
patdk-wk/etc/squid/squid.conf23:01
patdk-wkthe squid cgi?23:01
n0a1iasyea the cgi23:01
patdk-wkdunno, I don't use the cgi23:01
n0a1iaswhat do you use? cli?23:01
patdk-wkthe config file :)23:02
n0a1iasit says command not found23:02
n0a1iaswhat is squid used for?23:03
n0a1iaslike i know its for taking pages and saveing them to make internet faster, but how does it make you more secure?23:04
patdk-wkI dunno how it makes you more secure23:04
n0a1iasoh23:05
patdk-wkunless you tell it, never to allow anyone to download exe files23:05
patdk-wkbut that isn't much security23:05
n0a1iaswhy do you use it?23:05
n0a1iaswhy do you use squib?23:07
n0a1iasand if i download it, then dont configure it, will it do anything at all?23:07
patdk-wkit will do some, but not much23:08
n0a1iashmm23:08
patdk-wkI use it to cache the crap out of .deb, .iso, all images, and stuff23:08
patdk-wkgives the work here about a 15% speed boost23:08
n0a1iasi dont understand23:08
patdk-wkI don't know why you are bothering with squid23:09
n0a1iasme either but now i want to know23:09
patdk-wkcause you can totally screw your internet up with it (atleast websites)23:09
n0a1iasso when you need a .iso, you use the cached one and its faster then downloading and saving one?23:10
patdk-wkonly if you already downloaded it before23:10
n0a1iashmm23:10
n0a1iasok well i save all my disks so i guess i wouldnt really use it23:11
n0a1iasthanks for the help23:11
patdk-wknow, caching image files helps everyone though23:11
n0a1ias??23:11
patdk-wkall the pictures on websites people browse23:12
patdk-wkthose are reused a crapload23:12
n0a1iaso those23:12
patdk-wkbut you get into issues there23:12
patdk-wkcan your harddrive seek and load them, faster than you can download them :)23:12
n0a1iasand does it do that with out being configured?23:12
patdk-wkit will, but I forget the default times it uses for them23:12
patdk-wkI have mine set to pretty long23:13
patdk-wkif I download a picture, it goes int othe cache, and it wont bother to ask if it has changed even, for 12hours23:13
patdk-wkby default, I think it's 30min or something23:13
patdk-wkbut it still asks if it changed23:13
n0a1iasoh, ok so i should change that23:14
n0a1iasbut id set it to 6 hours23:14
n0a1iasso to do that i cd into the config folder?23:14
patdk-wkna, you edit the config, and restart squid23:15
