Davieyhggdh, what was 10.55.55.8?00:07
hggdhDaviey, this was (I expect) your SC00:08
DavieyRoAkSoAx, It's not entirely clear... Technically it should be someone from ~ubuntu-members, as i don't think we had an ack to add it00:08

hggdhSpamapS, it is just shy of 1900 here, and my wife is already unhappy...00:38
SpamapSDaviey: I'd be willing to bet sysvinit is FTBFS then00:38
Davieyyeah :)00:38
DavieySpamapS, did you test build before submitting the debdiff?00:39
SpamapSDaviey: probably not given that I only changed shell scripts00:39
Davieyfair enough :)00:39
Patrickdkyay, I got login :)00:40
SpamapSDaviey: might be something that was dropped in 2.6.3800:41
twbLast time I looked, portmap was done in upstart as at 10.04...00:47
SpamapSportmap is an upstart job yes00:47
SpamapSbut shutdown is not in upstart :(00:47
SpamapSso sysvinit has to stop portmap00:47
twbEr, don't you mean "portmap should have a `stop on' line"?00:48
SpamapSit has that now00:48
twbHum, OK00:48
Patrickdkone little fix, corrects 4 failed, but I doubt the *little* fix is proper :)00:48
SpamapSstop on unmounted-remote-filesystems00:48
Patrickdk#72808800:48
twbI'm *so* sick of upstart, man00:49
SpamapStwb: the issue is that portmap must not be killed until all NFS filesystems are unmounted00:49
SpamapStwb: its not so much upstart as the half-completed migration to it that is frustrating00:49
twbYes, EXACTLY00:49
SpamapStwb: basically the migration isn't really done until everything that isn't a traditional network service is upstartified.00:50
twbAfter nearly four years and stuff still isn't migrated properly00:50
twbHell, halt(8) is called from rc0.d still00:50
SpamapSI think there's been a lot of resistance and moaning about it but its not going anywhere so its time for us to just get'r'done00:51
Patrickdkheh, you should see the postfix vs upstart thread on that maillist :)00:51
SpamapStwb: Its likely that will be a topic of discussion for UDS-O00:51
Patrickdkthey are cursing upstart cause it must monitor something to tell it's active00:52
SpamapSPatrickdk: I'm trying hard to stay out of that.00:52
twbSpamapS: surely 12.04 will be running systemd?00:52
SpamapStwb: that would be suicidal00:52
SpamapStwb: maybe 12.10 and later..00:52
SpamapStwb: but dropping systemd in now would be WORSE than when upstart was dropped in during Karmic00:52
twbIt'll be funny if Debian 7 releases with a complete systemd migration and 12.04 is still half-upstart, half-sysvinit00:53
SpamapSI do hope that we have upstart 2 w/ the state based interface so we can drop the wait for state hacks before 12.04 ...00:53
SpamapStwb: thats the point.. 11.10 should have a major push to complete the migration to upstart.00:54
twbHas remnant said whether he'll continue developing upstart at google?00:54
SpamapSHe's just dropped upstart 1.0 yesterday00:54
SpamapSas in.. published00:54
twbThat's not necesarily a "yes" :-)00:54
SpamapSand he did that as a sort of hand off to us so he can focus on 2.000:54
SpamapSUpstart seems to be a key part of what he's doing there.00:55
SpamapSbut, he can neither confirm nor deny that00:55
twbFlipping corporations :-/00:56
SpamapSwell either way... its arguably highly reckless to just go switching inits *now*00:57
Patrickdkno one doing the raid1 tests?00:58
SpamapSbetter the devil we know. if upstart 2 scks or never lands.. so be it.00:58
SpamapSPatrickdk: I'd do them but my bandwidth is complete crap :-/00:58
SpamapShard enough just upgrading to the latests python 2.7 :-/00:59
SpamapStwb: I have to agree that I'm tired of mopping up the upstart mess tho00:59
twbEspecially when I see pere's insserv work in Debian01:00
SpamapSbut I do see a clear path to it being finished01:00
twbSince that made the boot time significantly less, and didn't impact me as a user at all01:00
hggdhDaviey, you can go to bed... uec-publish-tarball now works :-)01:02
patdk-lapI'll try, but dunno if I have any time01:02
Davieyhggdh, pah01:03
SpamapStwb: I have to wonder how much of that has been influenced by upstart itself.01:03
twbI think it certainly precipitated interest, but I don't think the innserv methodology was in any way derived from upstart01:04
twbI mean, it looks at LSB headers and computes an ordering -- it's more like make than upstart01:05
SpamapSnot derived, but certainly the existence of upstart and its perceived deficiencies has driven systemd development01:05
hggdhPatrickdk, I was going to do the raid1, but got stuck with euca01:05
twbOh sorry, I thought you were talking about insserv, not systemd01:05
SpamapSI imagine it has also encouraged insserv work to improve things so that they have a compelling argument against upstart01:06
hggdhPatrickdk, if you can run them, I would be in your debt01:06
* hggdh is getting to owe a lot of people around01:06
SpamapStwb: I was making a giant leap.. loop closed now ;)01:06
SpamapStwb: the main point is just that any time an early leader falters, it encourages the new players who don't have to deal with all the mistakes of the first implementation01:09
patdk-laphggdh, don't worry, I will collect :)01:09
SpamapStwb: upstart has found many of the really big potholes .. and systemd and insserv and others have been able to see it fall into those and can avoid them01:09
twbLike fortran01:09
twbDidn't insserv predate upstart?01:10
SpamapSthis is funny.. may laptop on my lap is behind a bunch of plants.. if I'm doing a download and hold it high up in the air.. it speeds up from 512kbit to 2Mbit01:10
twbSpamapS: what would be funny is if you were using cat5 and that happened01:11
SpamapSs/funny/scary/01:11
SpamapSinsserv wasntreally going where upstart was... but yes.. it was leading, and it was passed01:12
SpamapStwb: I'm not exactly attached to upstart forever. I just think if it was going to be replaced in ubuntu, it needed to happen in 11.0401:14
twbI totally admit that insserv's goals are conservative01:15
twbBut at least it met them without giving me stress :-P01:15

SpamapSlifeless: oh good :)02:35
lifelessSpamapS: haproxy1.4 for lucid interest you?02:35
SpamapSlifeless: as in, a backport?02:36
lifelessyes02:37

lifelessha proxy 1.3 cannot do close-mode02:38
lifelesscanonical admin team02:38
patdk-lapspamaps, I probably did something wrong02:39
patdk-lapor, I hope I did :)02:39
lifelessSpamapS: without close mode, persistent connections show up as single sessions regardless of requests sent over them02:40
lifelessSpamapS: which breaks the concurrency limit02:40
lifelessbecause connection != request02:40
lifelessand haproxy explicitly says it doesn't see the requests beyond the first one (in 1.3)02:40
lifelessSpamapS: this is hindering our load normalisation for launchpad02:40
patdk-laplifeless, adjust your keepalive settings?02:41
patdk-lapif you have keepalive off, only one request per connection is allowed02:42
lifelessI know this02:42
lifelesspatdk-lap: sorry, I don't mean to be negative02:48
lifelesspatdk-lap: its more complex than that - we have 4 tiers talking http02:48
patdk-lapna02:48
patdk-lapjust wondering if it's something I'm missing :)02:48
lifelessapache (load balanced) to squid (load balanced) to haproxy (load balanced) to 80 appserver threads02:49
patdk-lapthat seems like a mess02:49
lifelessapache handles the SSL02:49
lifelesssquid does caching02:50
lifelesshaproxy does load limiting02:50
lifelessbut, 1.3 can't do it well enough to let us move to single threaded appservers. 1.4 can.02:50
lifelessif we reconfigure things in front of haproxy we may make it work for a bit, but if someone makes a mistake, we'll have a horrible failure mode02:51
lifelessI don't like horrible failure modes.02:51
lifelesspatdk-lap: why do you say a mess? we serve a fair few hits daily03:10
patdk-lapI've never liked using apache proxy, or reverse squid cache03:15
patdk-lapI keep removing them to speed things up03:15
lifelesspatdk-lap: do your sites run SSL ?03:16
patdk-lapyep03:16
lifelesshow many application servers do you have?03:17
patdk-lap203:17
lifelesswhat do you use to syncronise your SSL session cache03:18
patdk-lapnothing, I don't need to03:18
SpamapSlifeless: re the 1.4 build.. that makes sense. since haproxy is in main .. it should be an easy sell for backport to lucid03:18
lifelessthen whenever a client switches application server, they will renegotiate. Thats up to 6 seconds from nz.03:18
lifelessSpamapS: how do I go about making it happen03:18
patdk-lapbefore they had some kind of apache squid apache thing, using 48 servers, 8 squid servers03:19
patdk-laplifeless, they don't switch application servers, unless their ip changes03:19
patdk-lapsince I have a limited amount of that, I just balance by ip instead of load03:19
SpamapSlifeless: realistically I'd be shocked if the package from maverick didn't build w/o changes on lucid03:19
lifelesspatdk-lap: depends on the client, and if they have /any/ network interrupts.03:19
SpamapSlifeless: so an upload to the PPA that you guys use would probably be the only thing necessary.03:20
patdk-lapnetwork interrupts shouldn't change their ip03:20
lifelesspatdk-lap: you're pinning clients by the *client* ip ?03:20
patdk-lapsure03:20
lifelesspatdk-lap: in which case, roaming clients - e.g. folk at UDS - will suffer regular SSL renegotiation.03:21
lifelessI mean, its your call how you do it. And I"m sure you solved problems you had.03:21
lifelessdoesn't mean there aren't more issues present :)03:21
patdk-lapya03:21
patdk-lapthe biggest issue I found we has03:22
patdk-lapwas duplication of caches between all the servers03:22
patdk-laplimiting it to less servers, fixed that hugely03:22
lifelessI would graph invalid ssl attempts - they will mostly be folk that have roamed trying wha they think is their existing session.03:22
lifelesspatdk-lap: we'd need stupid-big caches to cache our data set03:25
lifelesspatdk-lap: - its 300GB -03:25
patdk-lapnothing wrong with that03:25
patdk-lapbut having the same stupid big cache on 40 servers03:25
lifelessif you had no locality of reference, yeah it would be a waste03:25
lifelessyou'd get lots of cold-cache reads03:25
patdk-lapya03:25
patdk-lapmy issues was more, 500gig working set, 4gig ram, 48 servers03:26
patdk-lapbasically everything was a cold read03:26
lifelessthat would blow03:26
patdk-lapand wasting ram for squid03:27
SpamapSThe working set that is entirely popular is quite rare.03:27
lifelessits mythical :)03:27
patdk-lapif there where no webcrawlers :)03:27
lifelessas flickr say, their peak time lasts all week :)03:28
patdk-laphmm, this makes me wonder alittle03:28
patdk-lapcause I didn't think about it too much03:29
patdk-lapthe 2 servers  I replaced that whole mess with have 18gigs ram each in them03:29
patdk-lapbut I run vm's on them, and the *webservers* only have 2gigs ram each03:29
patdk-lapdoing more with less03:29
patdk-lapdefently a cache issue03:29
patdk-lapless nfs hits iwth less servers hitting it up03:30
SpamapSpatdk-lap: web crawlers are an easy case to handle. In a previous life we simply had our HTTP aware load balancer send all crawler user agents to a single server that we didn't mind going slow. ;)03:31
SpamapSpatdk-lap: and we also heavily focused on making If-Modified-Since function properly.03:31
patdk-lapoh, I have never had an issue for my websites03:32
patdk-lapit's hosting other peoples sites03:32
SpamapSNever did convince anyone that we could make old pages hand out expires headers since they changed less frequently. :)03:32
patdk-lapwhere you shouldn't be modifing their stuff, to fix that :)03:32
patdk-laphmm, I wonder how you would handle google these days though03:34
patdk-lapsince they rate you based on crawl speed also03:34
patdk-lapor page load time03:34
SpamapSIf their stuff is crap, you shouldn't be modifying it.  you should be making money off it :)03:37
SpamapSpatdk-lap: most of the time giving google a dedicated server meant FASTER load times. :)03:41
patdk-lapheh03:41
patdk-lapI dunno, I seem to always get hit by google, msn, and yahoo at the same time :(03:41
SpamapSpatdk-lap: and since 90% of the pages would give back a 304 ... they wouldn't even consider the cold, unchanged reads. :)03:41
patdk-lapdoesn't really bother me03:42
lifelessSpamapS: I wonder if I can impose on you to try a lucid rebuild03:42
SpamapSThough I do have to admit.. we had nearly 100GB of memcached available..03:42
lifelessSpamapS: while I know how, I'm primarily focused on driving timeouts down03:43
SpamapSlifeless: sure, if it works I'll propose it as a lucid backport03:43
lifelessSpamapS: \o/ thanks03:43
SpamapSlifeless: as I'd expect.. latest haproxy builds fine on lucid.. can you give me the 2 line summary for why it is worth backporting to lucid so I can put it in the lucid-bacports request?03:54

twbIt's quite a lot harder to exploit bugs in sendfile(2) than in a PHP webapp07:05

uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 728167 in cloud-init "failure on apt-get update should be warning" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/72816712:14
smosermainly, should failure of 'apt-get update' result in not running 'apt-get install <packages here>' where the user specified packages to run.12:14
smoseror should it just continue on, and warn that the update failed.12:14
Davieysmoser, I don't fully understand the issue...12:37
Davieysmoser, "the exception raised on failed 'apt-get upgrade' inside the cc_apt_update_"  Is that a typo? s/upgrade/update/g' ?12:38
smoseryes12:39
smosertypo12:39
Davieyahh12:39
smoserand now fixed12:40
DavieySo if it fails to update the cache, still try and install packages?12:40
smoserthank you for reading12:40
Davieysmoser, If that is so.. on the cloud images there is a pretty good chance the cache will be stale, compared to a traditional server install.12:42
Davieymarking the packages for installation might be a better solution?12:42
m_tadeu_I'm trying to run a command in a remote server and, dispite I'm sure the file is there, it says "no such file or directory". What is happening in this case?12:42
smoserDaviey, the cache will be stale, but not invalid12:43
smoseroh wait.. yeah i fthere is a package in -updates you might be giong ot fail that too12:43
Davieysmoser, True, but what happens if the packages are not still in the pool?12:43
Davieysmoser, I wonder if the cloud images initial apt cache should be based on the release pocket only?12:44
smoserwell, i was thinking that you'd get the one form the original release (not -updates)12:44
smoserbut you're right12:44
smoserso what are you suggesting ?12:45
DavieyIf the shipped cache is of the release pocket, install should always work12:45
DavieyIf apt update works, great12:45
Davieyelse they'll get the option next time they do update12:45
DavieyThere is a risk they'll not get -security packages on first run though12:46
Davieym_tadeu_, need more information to help really12:47
Davieym_tadeu_, what command are you trying to run?12:48
m_tadeu_Daviey: I'm accessing a remote server using ssh. I have a binary in /usr/local/fop2/fop2_server...when I "sudo /usr/local/fop2/fop2_server" it says file does not exist12:48
m_tadeu_I even tryed to go to the dir and run it there....the file is there but bash says it doesn't exist12:49
smoserDaviey, shipped cache is of release pocket + point in time snapshot of -updates and -security12:49
Davieym_tadeu_, ls -al /usr/local/fop2/fop2_server <--- that shows it?12:49
m_tadeu_keep in mind that I'm even using tab for autocomplete12:50
m_tadeu_Daviey: -rwxr-x--x  1 root root 6585775 2011-03-03 12:06 fop2_server12:50
Davieysmoser, That is my point... release pocket packages will be there for the life of the image..   -updates and -security is variable12:50
smoserright.12:51
smoserbut what happens if12:51
smoser *package in -release12:51
smoser * package in -update [in cache]12:51
Davieym_tadeu_, That is _odd_12:51
smoser * newer package in -update [not in cache], so referenced deb is now gone12:51
smoser * apt-get install package12:52
smoseri think it fails because it sees that the version in its cache in -updates is newer than in -release12:52
Davieym_tadeu_, Are you sure that is the file that can't be found, or is that trying to execute another binary?12:52
smoserand tries to get it12:52
Davieysmoser, hmm12:52
dravekxcan someone explain to me how to create a cron job? I have one, but not sure how to make it run.12:52
hallynivoks: bug 726461 sure sounds familiar :)  do you have anyone using ocfs on lucid who does not have instability?12:52

uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 726461 in openssh "sshd on lucid causes kernel panic" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/72646112:52
Davieysmoser, If you shipped the apt cache of just the release pocket, the packages in the pool should be there for the life of the image.12:53
ivokshallyn: i have no problems12:53
m_tadeu_Daviey: I have no idea, since it's a binary file, not a script. but I'm guessing if it would run another file it would be on the same dir....and now I'm on that dir12:53
ivokshallyn: let me see :)12:53
smoserDaviey, right.12:53
hallynivoks: really?12:53
smoserbut the apt-cache is just the apt-cache that the build was done on12:53
hallynivoks: ok, then maybe i'm just unfairly prejudiced12:53
smoseri *could* selectively clean it, yes.12:53
Davieysmoser, Yeah... that is what i was thinking12:54
smoseroh12:54
smosershoot12:54
smoserheres why that doesn't work12:54
Davieysmoser, so you attempt to update, but if that fails you then know you can still install packages that will succeed12:54
smoserif you do that, and then run 'ubuntu-bug installed-package' where installed-package came from -updates12:54
smoserit will say "not an ubuntu package"12:54
smoserand you're confused12:54
ivokshallyn: lol... this does look familliar, but i wouldn't blame ocfs2 yet12:55
Davieym_tadeu_, Sorry, i have no experience with that binary.  The best i can direct you to is googleing for that binary name and the error message12:55
Davieym_tadeu_, hopefully that will help12:55
Davieysmoser, hmm12:55
m_tadeu_Daviey: tryed that before comming here :)12:55
Davieysmoser, hmm12:56
ivokshallyn: i've had problems with iscsi, though12:56
Davieysmoser, I guess this matters more for post release images, rather than natty final12:56
smoserDaviey, so i actually had to do some work to make this all work the way it does... we rename the cache files so they match the mirror that we select on boot.12:56
Davieysmoser, BUT, this is just to cater for failure when initial update fails12:57
smoseryes.12:57
smoserso maybe if update fails, just tag for isntallation and warn12:57
smoserbut what sucks about that is that in most cases, it *would work*. (most packages don't have updates in -updates)12:58
Davieysmoser, yeah.. i don't know how to mark for installation in apt-get, but aptitude is easy to do that.12:58
ivokshallyn: otoh, do_filp_open is a function in fs/12:58
smosersurely there is some way. i will just dig a bit.12:58
smoserthanks.12:58
Davieysmoser, Keep us posted on what you do.12:59
hallynivoks: in the past that sort of oops signature wouldve convinced me aufs was to blame, but that seems not involved here13:00
smoseroh yeah, i'm sure you're on the edge of your seat :)13:00
smoserthe real key is for the update to not fail13:00
zulhmmmm?13:00
smoser(and it shouldn't we've got local mirrors)13:00
smoserbut it could still fail in the case of user added repositories13:01
Davieysmoser, Good point13:03
smoseri'm thinking try and fail13:04

How do I remove it?13:45
hggdhRoAkSoAx, I am the readiest I can ever be ;-)13:45
hggdhand good morning13:45
RoAkSoAxhggdh: morning ;)13:46
RoAkSoAxhggdh: alright fire everything up13:46
ivoksKurtKraut: dpkr -r --ignore-depends=<package>,...13:46
ivoksKurtKraut: dpkg, of course :)13:46
RoAkSoAxhggdh: i'll prepare a config for you to  use. btw. Those servers support suspending right?13:47
ivoksKurtKraut: or... dpkg -r --force-depends libapache2-mod-wsgi13:47
hggdhRoAkSoAx, I believe they do, never had to try it before13:47
hggdhRoAkSoAx, and, right now, they are all under powernap control and grasp13:48
KurtKrautivoks, it worked, thanks!13:48
RoAkSoAxhggdh: what are we gonna do is change the config to how it was originally and see what happens13:49
Disconnectanyone else running into an issue where you can't enable pxe at all on kvm vms? if pxelinux loads (even with localboot 0, localboot -1, localboot 0x80) it says "Booting from local hard drive" and then cycles immediately back to dhcp/netbooting.. I'm suspecting its cuz they use virtio but if I cancel netbooting before that ('n' to netboot, 'q' to quit) they boot fine..13:49
RoAkSoAxhggdh: please change the config on the servers running powernap to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/574975/13:49
RoAkSoAxand sudo service powernap stop && sudo service powernap start again to make sure that the changes made effect13:50
RoAkSoAxhggdh: and then tail -f /var/log/powernap.log13:50
RoAkSoAxand let's let eucalyptus figure out what to do13:50
hggdhok13:52
hggdhRoAkSoAx, interesting. The machines are up, but unresponsive13:54
RoAkSoAxhggdh: what should happen though is that powernap will always detect /sbin/init and will never do any action by itself. So, since eucalyptus decides to poweroff and stuff, eucalyptus will just send a command to the NC's and they will suspend of poweroff13:55
RoAkSoAxhggdh: any logs/ both eucalyptus/powernap?13:55
hggdhRoAkSoAx, not right now, having to reboot the CLC13:56
hggdhRoAkSoAx, the CLC is unresponsive13:56
RoAkSoAxoki13:56
hggdhRoAkSoAx, I am assuming that all other config options are good as they are now13:59
hggdhand I have restarted powernap on the NC, waiting for the CLC to finish reboot13:59
RoAkSoAxhggdh: ok ;)14:03
kriswaloHi, my ubuntu server "crashed"/froze/"disapered from the network" a couple of days ago so I had to physically reboot it to be able to reconnect to it. Now I got my connection back up, but I'm not able to run a python script I have that's supposed to run and manage transmission for me. I get 401: Unauthorized user. Can someone help me?14:04
hggdhRoAkSoAx, OK. I have now to restart the NC, since whatever happened has already happened -- the CLC cannot see any regions available on the NC14:04
RoAkSoAxhggdh: ok so I'm assuming that PowerNap itself has not suspeneded the NC's since the ProcessMonitor tracks the init daemon which will always be present in the process table.14:05
RoAkSoAxhggdh: can you show me powernap logs from any NC aswell as eucalyptus logs where it shows what it is doing with powernap (if it is sending wakeup signals and stuff)14:05
hggdhRoAkSoAx, I think it had done so _before_ I restarted it, and the euca tables got confused14:05
hggdhRoAkSoAx, will do, as soon as system is back up14:06
RoAkSoAxok14:06
patdk-wkstill working on that?14:06
RoAkSoAxpatdk-wk: wer are just about to start14:07
hggdhRoAkSoAx, well, guess what...14:12
hggdhRoAkSoAx, now the CLC does not contact the NC14:12
hggdhnot even to start14:12
ivokshallyn: http://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-users/2010-September/004686.html14:12
RoAkSoAxhggdh: can you ssh into the NC?14:13
hggdhRoAkSoAx, yes. But Euca (on the NC) is reporting apache2: symbol lookup error: /etc/eucalyptus/axis2/services/EucalyptusNC/libEucalyptusNC.so: undefined symbol: rampart_print_security_processed_results_set14:13
RoAkSoAxhggdh: ahh!1 that's the same error I was experiencing. But, wasn't that fixed already?14:14
hggdhso we cannot really test -- we need the NC to register sanely at least once :-(14:14

sorenDaviey: Or thereabouts. I didn't actually count them.14:50
iggisoren: heh, fair enough. I will have to live with virt-manager+x11 forwarding unless you know a better way14:51
hallynDaviey: (just curious) meaning he got back to you and said that, or that you thought I was casting random blame left and right?  :)14:51

hallynDaviey: I'm having some trouble with the build-depends being insufficient, tbh.14:52
hallynhm, or, no, something went wrong on thsi system.  feh.14:52
iggisoren: virt-manager and connecting to nodes turned out to be a pain last I tried. I could only get it working via SSH and that required a password for every action. I supposed PSK, but never had that working right with virt-manager.14:53
iggisuppose*14:53

hggdhRoAkSoAx, this is similar to what I had before -- I never saw anything different15:19
RoAkSoAxhggdh: for what I know the CC (or CLC) automatically decide what machine to powernap/wakeup15:20
RoAkSoAxso powernap always runs15:20
RoAkSoAxtracking sbin/init which will always be running15:20
RoAkSoAxso powernap by itself will never perform an action15:20
RoAkSoAxso when the cloud decices which NC to powernap, it sends a powernap-now command to the NC, which execs through the powernapd daemon, and performs the action (i.e. suspend)15:21
RoAkSoAxand to wakeup it just sends a WoL15:21
RoAkSoAxcan I see your logs though?15:21
hggdhRoAkSoAx, which logs you want?15:30
RoAkSoAxhggdh: /var/log/powernap.log15:30
RoAkSoAxhggdh: and I believe it is the NC log which shows when eucalyptus tris to wkaeup/powernap the NC's15:30
hggdhRoAkSoAx, powernap.(err|log) are empty15:32
hggdhRoAkSoAx, http://people.canonical.com/~cerdea/nc.log15:34
RoAkSoAxhggdh: that's weird, did since DEBUG=3 in the powernap config15:34
hggdhRoAkSoAx, duh, I had debug=115:35
hggdhrestarted powenap now15:36
RoAkSoAxhggdh: did you use the config settings I gave you?15:36
hggdhRoAkSoAx, see above. All there, but debug was set to 1 by mistake15:37
RoAkSoAxhggdh: ok the log by no means shows that any NC is idled15:38
RoAkSoAxlike it should at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/PowerManagement15:38
bobgI am trying to get sudo-ldap installed in a preseed file. It fails because the prerm script of sudo pkg refuses because there is no root password (it does not know that sudo-ldap will replace it) I have tried preseeding a root password, I have tried setting "export SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE=yes in a preseed early_command.  How can I get sudo-ldap installed instead of sudo in a preseed installation?15:42
_wo_hello15:42

bobg_wo_, its ok, noone wants to admit hanging out here. The first step is to admit you hae a problem15:44
_wo_hehe15:44
_wo_i always feel like a jerk for bursting into a chan and demanding answers to my questions15:45
hggdhRoAkSoAx, even after resetting DEBUG to 3, and 'sudo restart powenap', the logs are still empty15:47
hggdhRoAkSoAx, OK. When nothing else works, power it off, count to 10, power it on again.15:49
RoAkSoAxhggdh: yeah you need to sudo service powernap stop / sudo service powernap start for the settings to make effect15:51
RoAkSoAxI think that's a bug in upstart, isn't it SpamapS ?15:51
hggdhRoAkSoAx, restarted15:52
Disconnectanyone know why d-i isn't accepting the hostname? (dns resolution doesn't work, hoping thats not it..) its set in the preseed, but it still prompts. if i set it in the pxe config it works, but I need to preseed it.. (worst case, I can write it to /etc/hostname before rebooting and let puppet take care of fixing /etc/hosts, but thats a hack and a half..)15:56
RoAkSoAxhggdh: man I now understand what you go through when testing Euca!! hehe15:57

bobgDisconnect, looks fine to me -- I don't set the hostname in preseed16:00
Disconnectthe domain is set correctly in /etc/hosts (with no prompt) it just doesn't like the hostname :/16:01
Disconnectonce this build finishes i'll see what is in debconf. maybe there is something else related..16:01
bobgDisconnect, do you install sudo-ldap in your preseed by any chance? (that's my problem -- I can't get that package to replace sudo in the preseed install)16:02
Disconnectyah i do in fact :) have to hack it with a post-inst script though. hang on i'll pastebin something for you16:03

hggdhRoAkSoAx, I now have entries in powernap.log, but nothing seems to have happened. You want the log?16:32
RoAkSoAxhggdh: sure. what intrigues me is why euca is not reporting anything16:33
hggdhRoAkSoAx, indeed. No euca logs have entries matching 'wake' or 'power'16:34
hggdhRoAkSoAx, http://people.canonical.com/~cerdea/powernap.log16:35
RoAkSoAxhggdh: yeah as expected powernap is running and just waiting for a command from euca16:36
RoAkSoAxwhich never comes16:36
hggdhRoAkSoAx, we can try now with the old settings, and see what happens16:43

Disconnectoops maybe not. it worked once, then prompted. sigh. i'll keep arguing with it.17:07
hggdhRoAkSoAx, with ACTION_METHOD=0 the system went into powersave (so it seems). But euca did not trigger anything visibly17:20
RoAkSoAxhggdh: yeah so for euca the NC is still running17:21
hggdhindeed17:21
bobgDisconnect, my sudo-ldap pressed installed -- thanks17:22
RoAkSoAxhggdh: change ACTION_METHOD=1 and let the machine suspend and we'll see what euca does17:22
hggdhRoAkSoAx, ack17:22
RoAkSoAxhggdh: better yet,m change it to 417:22
RoAkSoAxin case it does not support suspend it will poweroff17:22

RoAkSoAxhggdh: btw.. is the scehduler policy Round Robin or PowerSave?17:27
hggdhRoAkSoAx, roundrobin17:28
RoAkSoAxhggdh: ok so then if we are in roundrobin then powernap should not do any action on the NC's because that should be managed by euca when on SCHEDPOLICY=POWERSAVE17:30

Disconnectrather, from aptitude (or apt-dater or ..)17:31
RoAkSoAxhggdh: so that means if running ROUNDROBIN then we should either disable powernap or configure it to monitor the Process "init"17:31
Disconnectcan't sudo install it unless you let them use 'env'..17:31
RoAkSoAxhggdh: so that it will never send the machine to "sleep"17:32
hggdhRoAkSoAx, let set it back to monitor init first17:32
hggdhRoAkSoAx, with action-method=417:33
RoAkSoAxhggdh: yes having that would be how powernap default before natty17:33
RoAkSoAxhggdh:17:34
RoAkSoAx[ProcessMonitor]17:34
RoAkSoAx#init = "^/sbin/init"17:34
RoAkSoAxjust uncomment that line17:34
RoAkSoAxwhat will happen is that powernap will never go to sleep because it will always detect the init process17:34

=== paul__ is now known as orudie
=== Visig0th is now known as Visigoth
RoAkSoAxhggdh: let me ask you on question though. If we are in ROUNDROBIN and you manually turn off an NC, will the CLC/CC try to wake it up or will just assume that the node is off/failed or not available17:44
bobghey Disconnect, are you providing your preseed over tftp?  Isn't it too late to provide the network configuration then?  Maybe its ignoring all of the netcfg preseeds because it already configured the network to access tftp17:46
Disconnectit'll get it over http. in pxelinux append "url=http://(our foreman server):3000/unattended/preseed"17:47
hggdhRoAkSoAx, on round-robin it would assume the NC off17:47
Disconnectit says dhcp hostname will override the preseed if it is provided, but dhcp isn't providing a hostname.. (as evidenced by the fact that it takes domain from preseed and then prompts for the "missing" hostname..)17:48
=== hikeonpast__ is now known as hikeonpast
bobgDisconnect, what I am suggesting is that maybe the installer inspects all of the netcfg/ debconf vars (even the hostname) when its first initializing the network.  Then it loads your preseed from the network but it ignores the dbconf values that it has already queried17:51
Disconnectwhat i suspect its doing is: read netcfg from commandline, feed hostname/etc into dhcp client. get response back (including same hostname if present), use hostname, get preseed. if that hostname isn't present on the commandline, it'll come back blank and - for whatever reason - that overrides the debconf entry anyway..17:55

RoAkSoAxhggdh: ok so I'm tryting to reproduce this locally and I can't get it to work... I installed following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/CDInstall20:40
RoAkSoAxand the NC is not detected20:40
RoAkSoAxany ideas on how to resolve?20:40
RoAkSoAxhggdh: however, when doing euca_conf --list-nodes it does actually show the NC IP20:41
hggdhRoAkSoAx, look at /var/log/eucalyptus/registration.log20:44
RoAkSoAxhggdh: registered20:44

hggdhRoAkSoAx, run 'euca-describe-availability-zones verbose', you should have a non-zero value for the limits20:45
hggdhhuh?20:45
RoAkSoAxhggdh: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/575175/20:45
RoAkSoAxhggdh: this is in KVM btw20:45
hggdhyeap, does not seem to be there20:46
RoAkSoAxweird indeed20:46
RoAkSoAxhggdh: ahhh apparently it didn't install the -walrus :S20:48
RoAkSoAxpackage20:48
hggdhheh20:48
RoAkSoAxthat might be it20:48
hggdhit might. But I remember Dustin has to tweak something to run fully virtual20:48
RoAkSoAxhggdh: yeah there's something to change from KVM to QEMU20:49
RoAkSoAxi just don't remnember but, regarless, it should be able to report that the NC is up20:49
RoAkSoAxand be able to connect to the URL20:49
hggdhyes, you should be able to at least see a contact20:49
RoAkSoAxhggdh: ill try to look little deeper to see what might be going wrong20:51
=== NightDragon is now known as GeorgeNada
RoAkSoAxhggdh: daaaaaaaaaah dumb me... same issue as you I think :):P Didn't update to the latest eucalyptus21:16
RoAkSoAxlol21:16

RoAkSoAxDaviey: have you found out anythen else about the IFACE problem in the upstart job?21:24
DavieyRoAkSoAx, no21:25
RoAkSoAxDaviey: k that's just weird though21:26
=== NightDragon is now known as Georgenada
RoAkSoAxDaviey: hggdh if a NC is off, should I expect to see any change sin euca-describe-availability-zones verbose ?21:55
DavieyRoAkSoAx, open bug about that21:55
hggdhRoAkSoAx, Daviey: the way I bypassed it was by taking out the instance $IFACE. The issue seem to be that this stanza is called without IFACE being set21:56
DavieyIt is an indication NOT a promise of accuracy21:56
Davieyhggdh, hmm21:56
Davieyguess previously that was allowed21:56
hggdhRoAkSoAx, it should -- most of the times -- show you 0 availab ility21:56
hggdhDaviey, yes, it was.21:57
RoAkSoAxhggdh: "most" hehe the NC is off and the CLC still shows AVAILABILITYZONE|- m1.small0002 / 0002   1    192     221:57
hggdhRoAkSoAx, heh. It should update in a few, on the next contact21:57
RoAkSoAxhggdh: nah i'm thinking might be because of the SCHEPOLICY=POWERSAVE21:58
hggdhindeed22:00
RoAkSoAxhggdh: ok just tested... on POWERSAVE and ACTION_METHOD=0, Euca assumes that node is off and skips its checking22:15
RoAkSoAxhggdh: and the NC is running in PowerSave mode22:17
hggdhRoAkSoAx, even when the NC is *not* yet in powersave?22:28
RoAkSoAxhggdh: looking it simple, When the CC sends the command to Powernap, ti executes the action and goes to PowerSave... and CC assumes that node is sleeping, even tho it is not because the node is running in powersave. If something triggers any of the monitors in the NC and PowerNap detects it, it will wake up (example, if there's console activity in the NC). But the CC will have no clue of this has happened22:32
RoAkSoAxhggdh: however, if the CC needs to run an instance, it will send a powerwake to the NC, which will in trun recover action22:32
hggdhRoAkSoAx, so, even in a rather convolute way, it works22:33
RoAkSoAxhggdh: this of course doesn't consider "What if PowerNap goes to sleep before the CC tells it to?". This however is easly fixable by just adding a ProcessMonitor to sbin/init22:33
RoAkSoAxhggdh: in the perfect world, where powernap/eucalyptus timers are in sync, PowerSave works just fine, which I'm surprised but it is awesome22:33
hggdhyeah. One more thing to check22:33
hggdhRoAkSoAx, we should count our blessings...22:34
RoAkSoAxhggdh: After I finish my review I'll post all the info in the bug and decide what to do (either recommend to tune up PowerNap config after installation, or ship defaults)22:34
RoAkSoAxs/in the bug/in the bug report22:35
hggdhRoAkSoAx, thanks. It might be a good idea to consider it for a release note, perhaps?22:35
RoAkSoAxhggdh: yeah!! We need to consult this with kirkland as well22:36
hggdhroj22:36
mrayis there a trick to using preseed.cfg files with a USB thumb drive? I just want it to pass the file to the installer and go22:58
mrayI've monkeyed around with the syslinux.cfg and no variation of file or preseed/file seems to work22:58
mrayI've read the installer guide section a few times, using the example as my preseed.cfg until I see that it's actually working23:00
mraythumb drive just boots into the regular installer23:00
uvirtbotNew bug: #728752 in squid (main) "package squid 2.7.STABLE7-1ubuntu12.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/72875223:01
RoAkSoAxmray: i think you are looking for something like this: http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/ServerWhole#Preseeded%20Installation23:13
mrayRoAkSoAx: that's pretty close, I've seen that but I really want it to skip the first few steps as well23:14
mrayI want an unattended reinstall23:15
RoAkSoAxmray: maybe cobbler?23:15
mrayI thought preseed was the preferred way to do Ubuntu installs :)23:15
RoAkSoAxmray: my this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UnattendedCD23:16
RoAkSoAxmray: or http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-unattended-ubuntu-network-install23:18
mrayI'd thought about going down that path, maybe instead of thumbdrives I'll go with PXE23:18
mrayyeah23:18
RoAkSoAxmray: yeah that's probably your best option23:18
mraythanks23:19
RoAkSoAxmray: now that you are here, what's the status of zenoss. Have you guys go it working in natty?23:19
mrayRoAkSoAx: I'm no longer with Zenoss, I'm at Opscode23:20
mrayI'm working on Chef23:20
RoAkSoAxpoh idn't know that23:20
RoAkSoAxsorry about that one :)23:20
mrayno worries, I was recruited away23:20
mrayand now I'm working on OpenStack :)23:20
mraywhich tends to trash server installs when it goes awry :)23:21
loolsmoser: oy23:21
loolsmoser: Not sure how much you care about S3 and specifically S3 + FUSE23:21
RoAkSoAxmray: that's cool!! and yeah I know what you mean on the awry side of things ;)23:22
mrayI've got 3 boxes that take about an hour to reimage whenever I hose the Openstack install23:22
loolsmoser: I had a look at the most popular implementation, s3fs, and I've sent the packaging to the Debian ITP; it worked for me albeit slowly, but I've hit a deadend: it is GPL and links to openssl with no easy way to build with gnutls   :-/23:22
mrayso I need to automate it23:22
loolsmoser: I've just finished packaging s3-simple-fuse, and that one is faster and much simpler to maintain (it uses boto)23:23
mrayRoAkSoAx: gotta run, TTYL23:23
RoAkSoAxmray: have a good one23:23
loolsmoser: Would you have any interest in that?23:23
c0nv1ctwhen would it be beneficial to mark a connection rather than a packet in regards to traffic shaping?23:23
loolsmoser: If you'd like to try it out, it just finished building in my PPA23:26
airtonixI'm looking for a way to rename a screen in byobu without restarting the byobu session, is this possible?23:49
