| ion | Left to right: open /var/log/foo for appending and replace fd 1 with it; replace fd 2 with a copy of fd 1. At that point, both file descriptors point to the file. | 00:01 |

| tanepiper | yea thats better, no horrible output on the idle server screen now - thanks :) | 00:01 |
| djszapi | How can I checkout the bazaar codebase, what is the VCS url ? | 08:12 |
| djszapi | http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/CompilingUpstart - http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/ContributingCode - did not find the information here. | 08:12 |
| plautrba | djszapi: On the first page is: 1. Get the code. Libnih is a utility library used by Upstart. -> bzr branch lp:upstart | 08:23 |
| plautrba | djszapi: web frontend is here https://launchpad.net/upstart | 08:23 |
| djszapi | plautrba: that is just change the branch, but does not checkout the repository... | 08:23 |
| djszapi | no, webinterface is not enough for hacking... | 08:23 |
| plautrba | bzr branch FROM_LOCATION [TO_LOCATION] | 08:23 |
| plautrba | Create a new branch that is a copy of an existing branch. | 08:23 |
| djszapi | 10:23 < djszapi> plautrba: that is just change the branch, but does not checkout the repository... | 08:24 |
| plautrba | djszapi: have you tried it? | 08:24 |
| plautrba | lp:upstart is existing launchpad branch and you probably want local copy of that | 08:24 |
| djszapi | k, it does not work | 08:25 |
| djszapi | which port does it use ? | 08:25 |
| plautrba | it works for me http://fpaste.org/YwdF/ | 08:27 |
| djszapi | glad to hear, but it does not help anything for me. Please try to answer my question, I am newbie at bazaar and I do not even like it. | 08:28 |
| plautrba | sorry, i can't help you with bazzar, i use only three commands (branch, pull, diff) but try http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/bzr.dev/en/tutorials/using_bazaar_with_launchpad.html | 08:31 |
| djszapi | pfff | 08:31 |
| djszapi | it is not about frikking bazaar | 08:32 |
| djszapi | come on I need the information which port it uses | 08:32 |
| plautrba | $ grep bzr /etc/services | 08:32 |
| plautrba | bzr 4155/tcp # Bazaar version control system | 08:32 |
| plautrba | bzr 4155/udp # Bazaar version control system | 08:32 |
| djszapi | we have got a secure enough proxy, only http is enabled. | 08:32 |
| djszapi | ty. | 08:32 |
| djszapi | so I cannot checkout... | 08:33 |
| djszapi | so I cannot work on it then... | 08:33 |
| plautrba | djszapi: you can allways use tarball and apply patches | 08:35 |
| djszapi | where can I download the tarball of HEAD master ? | 08:35 |
| plautrba | not sure if there is tarball of HEAD master but there is tarball of last release | 08:37 |
| djszapi | :)))) | 08:39 |
| djszapi | funny. | 08:39 |
| djszapi | there is no http way in case bazaar to clone. | 08:40 |
| djszapi | it is silly enuff. | 08:40 |
| djszapi | A general way about a git repository: http/ssh/git/ protocol availability. | 08:42 |
| djszapi | btw, last release does not really contain the updated codebase... | 08:42 |
| djszapi | nor the libnih stuff... | 08:42 |
| djszapi | logging.c fex. | 08:43 |
| plautrba | there are 6 commits in upstart after release, it's not so much work to download patches from lp and apply them locally | 08:45 |
| djszapi | pfff | 08:45 |
| djszapi | no sorry I am not gonna spend my times with things I should not deal with. | 08:47 |
| djszapi | I am just skippign this "patch is welcome" thingy. | 08:47 |
| plautrba | it's like, sorry i locked my door so i can't go walk your dog ... | 08:48 |
| djszapi | maybe that is why this software is abandoned | 08:49 |
| djszapi | and no contributors apart from Scott. | 08:49 |
| cchildress | hi all. i'm having trouble getting vsftpd and upstart to play nice. whenever i issue the "restart," "stop," or "status" commands on vsftpd, I get teh error "unknown instance" | 14:32 |
| cchildress | if i issue the "start" command it tells me vsftpd is started/starting, and gives a pid | 14:32 |
| cchildress | but then "sudo status vsftpd" immediately after gets "stopped/waiting" | 14:33 |
| cchildress | like it says it's starting, but doesn't get started | 14:33 |
| cchildress | any ideas? maybe i'm doing something wrong? | 14:33 |
| JanC | cchildress: do you use "expect fork" or "expect daemon" ? | 14:45 |
| JanC | it sounds like apport is looking at the wrong PID | 14:45 |
| JanC | upstart I mean | 14:45 |
| cchildress | JanC: not that i'm aware of | 14:52 |
| cchildress | i'm not even sure what expect is haha | 14:52 |
| JanC | "man 5 init" explains all stanzas you can use in upstart jobs | 14:53 |
| cchildress | i'll check on that | 14:53 |
| JanC | basically you tell upstart that there will be 1 or 2 forks to follow | 14:54 |
| JanC | (in future versions this should become more flexible) | 14:54 |
| cchildress | i'm sorry, but i'm not sure that i follow you | 14:54 |
| cchildress | i know what a fork is, but what is meant by upstart following them? | 14:54 |
| cchildress | all i really want to do, is be able to start or stop vsftpd | 14:55 |
| cchildress | that's all | 14:55 |
| cchildress | right now i can't seem to do either | 14:55 |
| JanC | it needs to "follow" the forks to know what the PID of the actual running process is | 14:55 |
| cchildress | ok | 14:56 |
| cchildress | yes that makes sense | 14:56 |
| cchildress | so are you saying that i'm getting the "unknown instance" error because it's not following the forked process correctly? | 14:58 |
| cchildress | ok so i read through that manpage...but what am i supposed to make of it? | 14:59 |
| cchildress | sorry i must seem pretty slow but i feel like i'm trying to do something so simple | 15:01 |
| JanC | cchildress: it seems like vsftpd has an upstart job in Ubuntu 10.10, if you want I can put it on a pastebin for you | 15:02 |
| cchildress | what would i do with that? place it in /etc/init? | 15:02 |
| cchildress | and wouldn't that already be installed on my system when i installed vsftpd? | 15:02 |
| JanC | are you using Ubuntu 10.10 ? | 15:03 |
| cchildress | JanC: no, i believe i'm sticking with 10.04 for now | 15:04 |
| JanC | cchildress: is there a vsftpd.conf in /etc/init/ ? if not, 10.04 was still using a sysvinit script in /etc/init.d/ | 15:05 |
| cchildress | fwiw, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1588568 | 15:07 |
| cchildress | yes, there is a vsftpd.conf in /etc/init | 15:07 |
| JanC | that you on the forums? | 15:09 |
| cchildress | so i see how i can keep it from running...but not how to check the status or stop it from the command line | 15:09 |
| cchildress | no, just someone who has similar problems | 15:09 |
| cchildress | i'm just trying to figure out why the standard "sudo service vsftpd stop | 15:11 |
| cchildress | won't work | 15:11 |
| cchildress | and why i can't check on the status | 15:11 |
| cchildress | is there something wrong in the script or conf? or am i doing something wrong? | 15:12 |
| JanC | vsftpd seems to start/stop/status/etc. fine on my 10.10 system | 15:13 |
| JanC | did you change anything in the configuration of vsftpd? | 15:13 |
| cchildress | no | 15:14 |
| cchildress | i have avoided that because i don't want to break things | 15:14 |
| JanC | no debug info in log files? | 15:15 |
| cchildress | the vsftpd.log in /var/log is blank | 15:16 |
| cchildress | what other log file can i check? there is not one for upstart | 15:17 |
| cchildress | i'm at such a loss >.< | 15:27 |
| cchildress | i loved the good old init.d scripts haha | 15:27 |
| JanC | can you start vsftpd manually? | 15:29 |
| cchildress | this thread has teh same problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10361956 | 15:34 |
| JanC | hm, that looks like vsftpd forks one more time than expected? | 15:35 |
| cchildress | maybe, but i don't know enough to say | 15:37 |
| cchildress | i'm surprised that others haven't reported this problem | 15:37 |
| JanC | do you also see the different PIDs like in that forum post? | 15:37 |
| cchildress | my setup is pretty generic | 15:37 |
| cchildress | i just checked through every running process...there is no vsftpd running | 15:39 |
| JanC | so you start it, and then there is no vsftpd in ps output? | 15:39 |
| cchildress | yeah | 15:39 |
| cchildress | it gives me a pid, but i immediately check taht pid and nothing is running | 15:40 |
| cchildress | it's like it's saying "ok i'm running here" but then silently failing or something | 15:40 |
| JanC | but did you check for a vsftpd with another PID like in that forum thread? | 15:42 |
| cchildress | yeah | 15:42 |
| cchildress | not a single instance of vsftpd is running | 15:42 |
| cchildress | even though the start command doesn't generate any errors | 15:42 |
| JanC | do you have a listen option in /etc/vsftpd.conf ? | 15:45 |
| cchildress | listen=yes | 15:45 |
| cchildress | local_enable=yes | 15:45 |
| cchildress | write_enable=yes | 15:45 |
| cchildress | strange little problems like this drive me nuts | 15:50 |
| JanC | cchildress: what happens when you run vsftpd from the command line? | 15:54 |
| cchildress | 500 OOPS: config file not owned by correct suer, or not a file | 15:56 |
| cchildress | i think we have a winner here... | 15:56 |
| cchildress | fwiw, /etc/vsftpd.conf is root:root | 15:56 |
| cchildress | /etc/init/vsftpd.conf is also root:root | 15:57 |
| JanC | sounds right | 15:57 |
| cchildress | so i don't know why it's complaining that the owner isn't right | 15:57 |
| cchildress | i think i found my problem | 15:59 |
| JanC | did you start vfstpd as root? | 15:59 |
| cchildress | yeah i found my problem | 15:59 |
| cchildress | vsftpd was failing to launch because "use_ssl" was enabled in /etc/vsftpd.conf | 15:59 |
| cchildress | yet there was no rsa cert | 15:59 |
| cchildress | so i commented out the line | 16:00 |
| cchildress | and now it runs fine | 16:00 |
| cchildress | for some reason, vsftpd never gave an error or even errored on the log, when run by upstart | 16:00 |
| cchildress | only by manually running it as root did i get the error about ssl | 16:00 |
| cchildress | so frustrating! lol at least it works now | 16:00 |
| cchildress | thank you very much for patiently helping me, JanC | 16:02 |
| cchildress | btw, i'd like to report this as a "bug", since vsftpd gave no errors. would i report this bug to the upstart team, or vsftpd team? | 16:03 |
| SpamapS | cchildress: just vsftpd I think. upstart already has a feature planned to log the output of jobs, but for now the programs need to handle their own error logging. | 16:53 |
| SpamapS | cchildress: if vsftpd doesn't have a "check my configuration" option then I'm not sure we can do much. | 16:53 |
| cchildress | fair enough | 16:54 |
| cchildress | if upstart is already planning to log job output, then the "bug" will get fixed in time anyway | 16:55 |
| cchildress | so i'll just leave it be. thanks for the info | 16:55 |
| SpamapS | cchildress: its one of those things I'm really excited about for the future of upstart. :) | 16:58 |
| SpamapS | Because I'm silly like that | 16:58 |
| cchildress | yeah but that's an important feature! | 16:58 |
| SpamapS | state rewrite.. mmm.. ok.. but log my job output to a ring buffer.. SWEET | 16:58 |
| cchildress | for instance, if upstart had logged job output, i'd have known what teh problem was in the first few minutes...not after a half hour of head-scratching | 16:58 |
| cchildress | but anyway yes that sounds like a great feature | 17:00 |
