bobslaedeHi. Im trying to set up some virtual hosts, using libvirt, kvm and qemu and following all guides on the ubuntu website. I used ubuntu-vm-builder to create the guest and everything seemed to work just fine. However i cannot connect to this new guest, and it seems that its not getting an IP thru the default NAT setup. Also I cannot connect to the console via virsh13:41
sorenbobslaede: "virsh console" is only for text consoles. Use virt-viewer instead.13:45

bobslaedesoren: sorry for the delay. This is a headless server14:00
sorenbobslaede: So?14:07
bobslaedesoren: no X14:18
sorenbobslaede: Is it headless or is it X-less?14:19
bobslaedesoren: both14:22
sorenbobslaede: So you're not going to be at its console when you're doing this anyway.14:23
sorenbobslaede: again: virt-viewer is your friend. Run it on your desktop.14:23
bobslaedesoren: i dont have any access at all to the guests14:23
bobslaedesoren: also, my desktop is a windows machine14:24
sorenbobslaede: Then you're screwed.14:24
sorenout-of-the-box at least.14:24
bobslaedeI do have access to the servers console14:24
sorenYou can set up a serial console in the guests or whatnot.14:25
sorenbobslaede: I thought you said it was headless?14:25
bobslaedesoren: thru virsh console?14:25
bobslaedesoren: well, i can connect a screen to it14:25
bobslaedesoren: its just not at my current location14:25
sorenit's really quite simple. qemu (and hence kvm) emulates a framebuffer. To look at a framebuffer, you need something that can show graphics.14:26
sorenLike, say, a monitor.14:27
bobslaedesoren: which should work thru ssh no?14:27
sorenmonitors? No, they require VGA cables.14:27
sorenOr similar.14:27
sorenMy knowledge may be slightly outdated.14:28
bobslaedesoren: does it matter if im connected to the server thru ssh, or at the console?14:28
sorenAll I'm saying is that the solution to your problem is virt-viewer. You can use other VNC clients, but you need to do your own connection forwarding and whatnot.14:28
sorenbobslaede: Depends on what you want to do. If you want to look at the framebuffer of one of your VM's, it certainly helps to in an environment where such a thing can be easily represented. This could be a modern Linux desktop, like Ubuntu, or maybe Windows if you're happy to do your own ssh+vnc connection plumbing (and generally endure using it).14:30
bobslaedesoren: so in order for me to access a guest system, i need something with direct access to the guest, X, and virt-viewer (or whichever vnc client)14:30
sorenbobslaede: What do you mean "direct access to the guest"?14:30
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
bobslaedesoren: since the guest apparently doesnt have an ip address14:31
sorenbobslaede: Yes, but what does "direct access to the guest" mean?14:31
bobslaedesoren: on the host system i suppose, since i wouldnt have access to any guests from outside of the host14:32
sorenbobslaede: You're not really answering the question. You're asking me to verify this: "so in order for me to access a guest system, i need something with direct access to the guest, X, and virt-viewer (or whichever vnc client)". I can't do that when I don't understand what you mean by "direct access".14:33
sorenbobslaede: You don't have to be logged into the host machine.14:33
sorenbobslaede: You need a) a vnc client, and b) way to connect to the guest's vnc port.14:34
sorenbobslaede: The guest's vnc port is on the host.14:34
bobslaedesoren, but the guest doesnt have an IP, or anyway to connect to it?14:34
soren13:34 < soren> bobslaede: The guest's vnc port is on the host.14:34
sorenbobslaede: The guest doens't run a vnc server. The hypervisor does.14:35
bobslaedebut shouldnt the hypervisor then be able to connect to the console? Im asking here because i cannot find any info about libvirt or any of this on google, theres only the default guides, none answer my questions14:36
sorenLet's start over.14:36
bobslaedealright :)14:37
sorenYou want to log into the guest.14:37
sorenRight?14:37
bobslaedeYes, which Ive created with ubuntu-vm-builder for libvirt14:37
sorenDoesn't matter.14:37
sorenIts network is screwed, so you can't use ssh.14:37
sorenSo you want to connect to its console.14:37
bobslaedeSeems like it14:37
bobslaedeExactly14:37
sorenYou (wrongly) assume you should use "virsh console".14:37
sorenI tell you: 12:45 < soren> bobslaede: "virsh console" is only for text consoles. Use virt-viewer instead.14:38
bobslaedebut is a text console not enough?14:38
bobslaedethere is no X on the guest aswell14:38
sorenbobslaede: What happened when you tried?14:38
bobslaede'error: no valid connection'14:39
sorenAnd no, a text console is not enough, because 13:26 < soren> it's really quite simple. qemu (and hence kvm) emulates a framebuffer. To look at a framebuffer, you need something that can show graphics.14:39
bobslaedealright, sorry, wrong error before14:40
bobslaede'Failed to connect to the hypervisor'14:40
sorenThat sounds like a different problem.14:42
sorenBut it really doesn't change the fact that you need a vnc client.14:42
sorenQEmu emulates a framebuffer.14:42
bobslaedeYeah14:43
sorenOn real hardware, even if you decide to just show text, the monitor still shows it as pixels. Same here.14:43
bobslaedesoren: so then i would still need X on the host, or a vnc viewer on my windows desktop?14:44

permalac_hi, amb looking for a landscape(canonical), spacewalk(red hat), xCat (not-debian) suitable alternative for my .deb based infrastructure. Does anyone know any server-management solution with web-based frontend which supports .deb systems? thanks14:45
sorenbobslaede: You can put the VNC client whereever you want.14:46
jribpermalac_: umm isn't landscape such a thing?  Maybe ebox?14:46
jrib!away > dendrobates14:47
ubottudendrobates, please see my private message14:47
sorenbobslaede: I can't really say putting anything on a Windows desktop is a good idea, but a vnc client on a server also doesn't sound good.14:47
bobslaedesoren: i will try a viewer on windows14:49
permalac_jrib: it is the thing, but it cost like 30k a year. And there is no way to link unsupported machines. And most of my machines will have no support cause we have some libraries done by ourselfs. :(14:51
jribpermalac_: does ebox do what you want?  Don't really know much about either14:53
permalac_jrib: ebox , as I see , and if nobody else replays, it's a suite to manage services, almost like  webmin. What am I looking for is a system manager, like puppet, cfengine or chef, but with web-based frontend. Something to be able to delegate some administrative tasks to others on the corporation.14:57

_rubenjust out of curiosity, why use racoon and not strongswan/openswan/etc? they tend to be much more user/admin friendly15:44
_rubenif it stopped working without you changing anything, perhaps the remote end changed something :)15:45
Rabooohh15:46
Raboowell i choose racoon, cause i thought it was the easier method15:46
_rubenracoon is very low-level15:47
Rabooso which is best, strongswan or openswan15:47
_rubenneed to define every detail "by hand"15:47
_rubenmatter of personal preference really .. i prefer openswan, but must also admit i never used strongswan ;)15:47
_rubenboth are forks of the old frees/wan15:48

javatexanhowdy all20:32
pwnguinquentusrex: well, alt+sysrq+e seems to have fixed part of it20:32
pedahzurtheyranos: no reference off the top of my head, but in my (somewhat limited) experience, Postfix has been easier to configure.20:32
pwnguinsilly question: what log files are deleted on reboot?20:32
theyranospedahzur: i've heard that too, which is why I'm considering the switch.20:33
* theyranos will now go read the postfix manual20:33
pedahzurtheyranos: How complex is your setup? You may be able to configure everything you need for Postfix just from the Debconf install questions. :)20:33
javatexanwhere is the ubuntu custom error page for apache2 on ubuntu server?  Is it just the apache default or...\\20:33
_rubentheyranos: a rather common response to such a question is: use whichever you are (currently) most comfortable with20:34
nakhlawipwnguin: that depends on the logrotate configuration. Also syslog configuration.20:34
pwnguinnakhlawi: i know dmesg is gonna dissapear20:34
pwnguincd20:34
pwnguinwhoops20:34
pwnguinjavatexan: check /usr/share/apache2/error/20:34
_rubentheyranos: if you're used to exim and know how to tell it to do what you want it to do, why bother switching to an alternative?20:34
theyranospedahzur: Not very. It's the primary MX for my domain. Messages get dumped in a dovecot maildir.20:34
theyranos_ruben: While I've been using exim for several years, I still get hopelessly confused every time I try to change even the slightest thing about its configuration. So the idea behind possibly switching is hoping to find something easier to manage.20:35
_rubentheyranos: ah ok, that's a pretty valid point then ;)20:36
pedahzurtheyranos: Yeah, sounds pretty easy.  I'd install postfix, answer the basic questions, and see how far that gets you.  You can always 'apt-get remove --purge' if you want to start over.20:36
theyranospedahzur: Fair enough.20:36
_rubenif you got the resources, you could setup 2 vms, one with exim and one with postfix, try to configure them identically (the way you want), and see which works best for ya ;)20:36

_Techie__ruben, it asks to save the file both in firefox and IE22:16
_Techie_ill give firefox portable with socks a stab22:16
pedahzurehcah: Yeah, that's setting up dynamic DNS and DHCP on your local box.  Is that what you want?  Or are you setting up http://www.dyndns.com/22:17
_Techie__ruben, okay, portable firefox via socks usign ssh is workign22:17
qman__ehcah, there are two kinds of dynamic DNS -- one kind is to have an internet-based subdomain service like dyndns point to your changing IP, this kind does not require BIND at all22:17
ehcahI'm fairly sure this URL is what I need?22:17
qman__the other kind is to dynamically set local DNS to all your DHCP clients on the LAN22:17
qman__which does require BIND, and is probably what you're following a tutorial for22:18
ehcahqman: You have me thinking now.22:18
_ruben_Techie_: clear the caches of your browsers then, or do a force reload (ctrl-f5 i think)22:18
qman__if you're using dyndns, all you need to do is wget the URL they give you at regular intervals22:18
ehcahI'm trying to replicate a different service I tried.22:18
ehcahThe other service was using Open DNS on Fedora.22:19
ehcahI liked it.22:19
qman__I use afraid.org22:19
ehcahRegardless, I'm 3/4 down the path I started.22:20
ehcahI just wasn't sure I was going to create files in the right directory.22:20
qman__what I'm getting at, is that these are two completely different things22:20
qman__so what are you after, exactly?22:20
ehcahEverything to this point has been mostly editing, not net new.22:20
ehcahAccessing my box through URL like ACME.homelinux.com22:21
ehcahOr something like that.22:21
qman__then you don't need BIND at all22:21
ehcahYou're killing me.22:21
qman__you just need a dynamic DNS service like dyndns or afraid.org22:21
qman__and a simple wget script at regular intervals22:22
ehcahUsing their client?22:22
ehcahoh.22:22
qman__the BIND tutorial is for using DNS on your LAN, instead of things like hosts files or netbios22:22
qman__yeah, or their client22:22
qman__there are a number of ways to update it22:23
ehcahhost access is what I wanted my lan. Ie. router.mylan.com22:23
qman__I do the wget route with a script in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/22:23
ehcahor brother7440n.mylan.com22:23
pedahzurapt-cache search dyndns will give you a list of clients that come with ubuntu.22:23
qman__so you want internal DNS, or from the internet?22:23
qman__because they're separate22:24
qman__also, you shouldn't use .com22:24
qman__not unless you own that domain name22:24
qman__it'll cause problems22:24
qman__use something like .lan22:24
ehcahI know, but thought I needed both if I'm using my server for DHCP and other lan services.22:24
ehcahMy telco gateway only provides internet connectivity.22:25

qman__yes, but what I'm asking is, do you want to access your box by a DNS name from the internet, or from your LAN?22:25
ehcahI may not be answering you correctly, but both???22:25
_Techie_qman__, lemme try, ehcah do you want other people to be able to use the domain name?22:26
ehcahFunny.22:26
_rubenhmm .. should see if can get working temps on my sysinfo as well .. http://jupiter.ipv6.tun0.nl.ipv4.sixxs.org/phpsysinfo/index.php?disp=dynamic22:26
qman__and you want all your names to be internet accessible, such as router. and brother.?22:26
ehcahKids/wife.22:26
_rubenthen again, time for bed now22:26
qman__because that's incredibly risky22:26
ehcahonly my server.22:26
qman__ok, then you need to do both things22:26
_Techie__ruben, its not hard22:26
qman__the BIND tutorial will provide the local DNS22:26
ehcahand just for vpn or ssh.22:26
qman__and dyndns/afriad.org/etc will provide the internet name22:27
_ruben_Techie_: depends on whether the hardware is supported or not ;)22:27
=== wieshka_ is now known as wieshka
_Techie__ruben, most likely it is22:27
qman__I'd also suggest using two different names22:27
_ruben514minutes left to init the raid volume, should be done by morning .. i hope22:28
_rubenbbl :)22:28
qman__your internet name could be yournetwork.dyndns.com, while your local DNS could be mylan.lan22:28
ehcahIn my last config, everything was .com.22:28
qman__using a .com domain for local DNS can cause problems22:29
ehcahk.22:29
qman__as can any real TLD22:29
qman__don't use .local either, that can cause problems too22:29
qman__but pretty much anything else is okay22:29
_Techie_often people use .internal22:30
qman__you could call it .omgwtfbbq if you wanted22:30
ehcahIf it makes any difference. I actually own the .com domain name that I'm using.22:30
ehcahLOL22:30
ehcahThe .com is not published or active.22:30
qman__you just want it to be distinctly fake, because it doesn't work from the internet22:30
ehcahgot it.22:30
ehcahKnowing that I control if that domain ever goes active, I thought I was safe.22:31
qman__you would be safe, but it's still a good idea not to use it22:31
qman__some applications are dumb22:31
qman__and expect .com to be on the internet22:31
ehcahso is me22:31
qman__even when it clearly isn't22:31
qman__now, if you own your own .com domain, you could have that point to you from the internet22:32
qman__but that's beyond the scope of that tutorial, it's a separate task22:32
ehcahFunny as it sounds, I feel a bit safer with ***.dyndns.com domain rather than a ***.com domain.22:32
ehcahIt is also a different DYN service.22:33
qman__yeah22:34
qman__sorry for the confusion, I simply assumed you were looking for one or the other22:34
ehcahNo worries. I'm the problem as I'm not able to articulate my requirements clearly.22:34
ehcahMy life would be easier if I could just hire someone to do this for me.22:35
qman__indeed22:35
qman__on a related note, if you're serving SSH to the internet, make sure you take steps to protect it, such as a limiting firewall or fail2ban22:36
qman__also suggest using key based auth22:36
ehcahok.22:36
qman__there are bots that constantly scan for and brute force them22:37
ehcahThe other setup I ran for a bit was on Fedora.22:37
ehcahI have had enough trouble learning bits and pieces of Ubuntu.22:38
ehcahI also have 5 desktops running ubuntu, so to me, it only made sense to go full in.22:38
ehcahMy original goal was to replicate WHS.22:38
qman__well, the debian way is quite a bit different from redhat/fedora22:39
ehcahyes.22:39
qman__as I'm sure you've figured out22:39
ehcahBig time.22:39
_Techie_bbs22:40
ehcahEvery box I have is different too.22:40
ehcahhardware wise.22:40
qman__I first tried ubuntu with 5.10 and fell in love with the way it does things22:41
qman__I was never much of a redhat fan22:41
qman__but that's all personal preference22:41
ehcahAgreed.22:41
ehcahand based on one's experiences.22:41
qman__in my opinion, it's worth the effort to learn the differences, because in the end, it'll make things easier22:42
_Techie_that bad update did more than rip apart my php22:45

ghalebhello, I have files in range of 3 to 5 GB on two vpn sites, I would like to use rsync to keep them synchronized, moving the whole file is a heavy process over the internet, is it possible to move only the difference within the file ?23:23
theyranosWhat can cause "ssh main process terminated with status 255"? openssh-server works for the first five or so minutes the server is running, then kicks off any logged in user and dies with that message in /var/log/syslog. If I manually restart with /etc/init.d/ssh start it works for about the same amount of time. I already have ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 in my sshd_config.23:35
pwnguintheyranos: oom?23:36

pwnguinout of memory23:37
pwnguinalthough i guess ssh shouldn't exit in that case23:37
pwnguinas the kernel will straight up kill it23:37
theyranosGot 200 of 512 MB free.23:38
pwnguintheyranos: 255 means that the ssh connection died, not the process you're trying to run23:42
pwnguinthat's about all that you can glean from that message23:42
pwnguinyou can turn on debugging23:43
theyranosoddly, setting LogLevel to DEBUG2 seems to have solved the problem23:43
