SpamapSzul: every time I do bug triage I'm reminded that we REALLY need to go over the mysql maintainer scripts and figure out why they never seem to work right. ;)00:15
ewookSpamapS: that sounds like a great idea. who thought using service for managing it a better idea? ... *grumbles*00:23
SpamapSewook: service isn't allowed in maintainer scripts. ;)00:24
SpamapSewook: I actually think there's a race condition in /lib/init/upstart-job .. but smarter people may disagree or feel its not as important as I do.00:24
ewookwell, count me out of the smarter part :P00:25
mdeslaurSpamapS: oh, please please please! :)00:25
ewookI thought you were talking about the package in general00:25
mdeslaurSpamapS: every security update, I see the massive amounts to failed to upgrade bugs that get filed00:25
SpamapSmdeslaur: I think there are two problems. One is that we aren't trusting dh_installinit ... the other is, I think, the upstart-job race condition.00:35
SpamapSbut.. we'll see... I've added it to my todo list. :)00:35

Dravekxwhat's the difference between 10.10 and 10.10LTS ?01:25
PiciDravekx: 10.10 is not an LTS release.01:26
Pici!lts01:26
ubottuLTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04)01:26
Dravekxahh.01:26
PiciLTS releases come out every two years. So: 6.06, 8.04, 10.04, etc.01:26
DravekxPici, thx01:27
PiciDravekx: sure01:27

StrangeCharmi'm trying to use the partition manager on the install disk. i can't seem to set my /boot partition as bootable. what am i doing wrong?15:37
Dibbler___hello , can someone that has hands on experience with this matter , if there are noticable speed differences when installing ubuntu completely encrypted , i need to set up a remote unmanaged pc which at some points may contain sensitive data ..16:12
Dibbler___i am mostly worried about overhead when doing things like unpacking a few gigs of rar or 7zip files16:13
ikoniaDibbler___: sorry, not following what your asking16:14
Dibbler___humm , ok ,16:15
Dibbler___i am installing a new copy of ubuntu server , i am considering the option of encrypting the whole thing when enstalling16:15
Dibbler___since thes erver will be standing somewhere ... public.16:15
Dibbler___installing sorry16:16
Patrickdkdepends on the cpu16:16
Patrickdkbut even my cellphone does aes256 at 24MB/sec16:16
Dibbler___it's a crappy 1 core athlon at 1.2 ghz16:16
Patrickdkmost real cpu's these days should give you a good 100MB/sec16:16
Patrickdkoh, that is going be lie 30MB/sec16:16
Patrickdkand I dunno why you would ever worry about rar or 7zip16:17
Dibbler___meh16:17
Patrickdkeven if you used raw disk without anything, those would still be unbearably slow16:17
Dibbler___well anything basically16:17
Dibbler___i was juat taking it as an example16:17
Dibbler___any file transfers16:17
Patrickdklike I said, it will cap out at 30MB/sec16:17
Patrickdkyou have to pick if that is usable for you or not16:18
Patrickdkwhat drive you putting in it?16:18
Dibbler___old pata 80 gig16:18
Patrickdkso that will crap out at 50-60MB/sec16:18
Dibbler___yes16:18
Patrickdkso as long as you don't use the cpu for stuff, you wouldn't notice16:19
Dibbler___so that won't be the bottleneck anyway16:19
eagles0513875|2ikonia: is there anything out of the ordinary i need to do to my Maildir if i create a new user and move my current users Maildir to another home folder? or should it work out of the box for me with out any tweaking?16:19
Dibbler___that's why i take unrar as an example16:19
Dibbler___so i would assume i would get ... meeh 15 mb/sec16:19
Patrickdkunrar will use 95% cpu16:19
Dibbler___instead of 3016:19
Dibbler___than thats fine16:20
Patrickdkunrar on that system, would only get 15mb/s maybe, without encryption16:20
ikoniaeagles0513875|2: just copy it16:20
eagles0513875|2ok16:20
Dibbler___so the encryption would only give 5% overhead then16:20
Patrickdkcause unrar is slow16:20
Dibbler___and stuff like ... idk parity chacking16:20
Patrickdknow if you tested it with fast encryption, like lzo or something, then the drive would slow it down (or encryption)16:20
Dibbler___would cap put at 3016:20
Dibbler___so i'd have 50% speed for that..16:21
Patrickdkparity chacking?16:21
eagles0513875|2also ikonia are all new users created with an encrypted home dir or by default they dont have an encrypted home dir?16:21
Dibbler___which would be fine i guess16:21
Dibbler___thnx for the info16:21
Dibbler___parity checking16:21
ikoniaeagles0513875|2: have you encypted the file system ?16:21
eagles0513875|2no16:21
eagles0513875|2just a simple ext4 partition  no file system encryption16:21
ikoniaeagles0513875|2: then no16:21
eagles0513875|2ok16:21
eagles0513875|2thanks16:21
Dibbler___things that arren't cpu intensive16:22
Dibbler___thnx for the opinion Patrickdk16:24
Dibbler___ill install both and check the difference16:24
Patrickdkyou mean like md5/sha?16:24
Patrickdkthose are somewhat cpu intensive16:25
Dibbler___whatever the default is ubuntu server uses when installing16:25
Dibbler___i haven't looked into it in detail tbh16:25
Patrickdkheh? why do you care about it when you install ubuntu16:26
Patrickdkthat will be a one time thing16:26
Patrickdkso if it takes weeks, why do you really care?16:26
Dibbler___what ?16:26
Dibbler___you asked me what type of encryption16:27
Patrickdkno I didn't16:27
Dibbler___i told you , the default on install16:27
Dibbler___<Patrickdk> you mean like md5/sha?16:27
Patrickdk"parity checking"16:27
Dibbler___ah16:27
Patrickdkor did you really mean to use parity bits? those are so unreliable16:28
Dibbler___i meant whatever quickpar does16:28
Dibbler___par216:28
Dibbler___par16:28
Patrickdkrs encoding16:28
PatrickdkI've never cared to benchmark that16:28
Dibbler___i get full drive speed on that on my regular computer16:29
Dibbler___so i wan't expecting overhead16:29
Dibbler___wan't16:29
Dibbler___wasn't16:29
=== squishy is now known as squishynothere

Psi-JackOkay, so when I try to setup in /etc/network/interfaces, a bond, I have bond_mode, bond_miimon, bond_downdelay, bond_updelay, and slaves directives defined, but it never ifenslaves the interfaces specified in slaves.17:14
cemcanybody here any experience with RAID0 on SSD for / ?17:15
Psi-Jackcemc: Using Raid on SSD is by itself not smart with current tech.17:16
cemcbecause of no TRIM ?17:16
cemcor are there other considerations?17:16
Psi-JackEspecially because of that, but SSD has a limitation on how many times it can write, too, and raid causes extra writing.17:17
cemcraid0 too ?17:17
Psi-JackYes17:17
cemcI see17:17
Psi-JackYou would basically blow both of them up at the same time. heh17:17
eagles0513875|2patdk-wk: wowie never thought an encrypted home directory would create so much havock17:18
cemcPsi-Jack: thanks17:20
cemcPsi-Jack: same thing with LVM? say I have 2x80GB SSDs and I do a big 160GB LV ?17:23
cemcI guess only TRIM won't work here, right?17:24
Psi-JackThat should work, actually. Using mirror, striping, or spanning lvm.17:24
Psi-JackBut of course, mirror would have the same basic effect of raid0.17:25
RoyKstriping is a little like russian roulette...17:25
cemcbut will I have TRIM there?17:26
cemcwould*17:26
Psi-Jackcemc: As far as I know, yes.17:26
Psi-JackHowever you might have to take the vg offline to run TRIM.17:27
cemcto "run" TRIM ?17:27
Psi-JackSeems you know very little about SSD. heh17:28
cemcwell not that much, indeed17:28
cemcwith having TRIM I meant like with ext4's discard17:29
cemcnot 'manual' TRIM17:29
cemcwhere I have to run some tool to do it17:29
cemcor some script (wiper.sh?)17:29
Psi-JackHmmm, with that, I wouldn't know, then.17:30
cemcas I understand it, if you have ext4 on top of a sda, and use discard, the kernel tells the drive to TRIM directly. but if you have LVM under it ?17:30
Psi-Jackyeah, I doubt it would work.17:31
cemcit probably wouldn't make sense, so you'll have to do it 'manually', like running some script to do it, even with offline VG17:31
cemcor offlined raid, from maybe a livecd or something17:31
cemcbut I don't like the idea of having to run some 'experimental' script that would potentially destroy the LVM or RAID stuff (by accident :) )17:32
cemcyou could also dump the data to a hdd, then wipe the disks clean, and redo everything, like every 6 months or so (this is a desktop we're talking about). but that's meh ;)17:35
