[00:09] <SpamapS> zul: is the sru tracker working?

[00:20] <pickett> wireless card
[00:21] <nertil> ah ok
[00:55] <tazmania> good morning folks.  I have previously installed ubuntu server 10.04 on a flash drive.  However, the drive failed on me yesterday with mainly mount errors on /root and other directories.  I have tried to use fdisk, fsck, e2fsck, and mke2fs to fix the superblocks with no luck.  What else can I do?  I am able to see the files on the flash drive when I plug it into another ubuntu desktop.
[00:58] <zul> SpamapS: i think its in the processing of being moved ill look at it in a bit
[00:59] <mil132> I have a strange problem... ESXi reports that the server is useing more than its provisoned storage, but when I go into ubuntu, it reports useing less than 10%
[01:13] <zul> SpamapS: give it half an hour its resyncing the database
[01:59] <zul> SpamapS: ok its updated
[02:18] <rnigam> Just created a new kvm guest. Tried to do a virsh shutdown 'vm1' but no response. Infact the guest doesn't seem to react to any command. Any ideas anyone?
[02:19] <rnigam> host is a ubuntu server 10.10 and guest 10.04
[02:21] <pmatulis> rnigam: start or destroy don't do anything?
[02:24] <rnigam> pmatulis: Start and destroy work. Just checked. Wonder why shutdown doesn't
[02:24] <thesheff17> rnigam: I believe I have the same problem...I usually just do shutdown -h now inside the virtual machine.
[02:34] <rnigam> thesheff17: someone at virt tells me it might be because acpid is not supported/cconfigured for the guest. No power control support enabled at the start up ! Wonder if we could do it in the xml config file !
[02:35] <rnigam> Also I now have a different prob... I tried to login to the console after following the thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1159220 and the guest froze on the "connected to domain vm1" screen now
[02:35] <rnigam> nothing works!
[02:35] <pmatulis> rnigam: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/220938
[02:35] <thesheff17> rnigam: yea I just confirmed it
[02:35] <thesheff17> rnigam: with 10.04 on 10.04
[02:36] <thesheff17> there is also a bug where I have to change raw to qcow2 everytime...I'm sure there is another bug for that :-/
[02:37] <thesheff17> ah let me try this acpid package...and see if it works.
[02:42] <thesheff17> rnigam: ah never mind I was just impatient..it works fine on 10.04 w/ 10.04 I'm using vmbuilder  to build the instance and it does have that stuff in the xml file and acpid installed by default.
[02:44] <thesheff17> I pass it packages 'wget cron vim ntp ntpdate ssh xvfb build-essential linux-headers-virtual locate vpnc acpid clamav chkrootkit rkhunter puppet' during install...it has been a long time since I looked at my custom script.
[02:48] <patdk-lap> how can I tell if a fs is ext2/3/4?
[02:49] <thesheff17> patdk-lap: /etc/fstab if it is mounted
[02:49] <patdk-lap> heh?
[02:50] <patdk-lap> fstab has nothing to do with if it's mounted
[02:50] <patdk-lap> fstab only contains what you tell it
[02:50] <thesheff17> patdk-lap: well right :)
[02:50] <patdk-lap> so completely useless
[02:51] <patdk-lap> looks like ext3
[02:51] <twister004> hi guys... i have an ubuntu 6.10 server.... I have some crons running on it(data backups)... how can i determine if these cron jobs completed successfully
[02:51] <twister004> logs in /var/log/syslog doesn't say if the cron completed
[02:52] <rnigam> thesheff17: Did you try  changing the setting in the guest xml config for getting the acpid running? is it working smoothly now?
[02:53] <thesheff17> rnigam: yea make sure you have acpid installed and that part of the xml file about <features> <acpi/> </features>
[02:53] <twister004> guys.. i need cron logs inorder to send out emails once backup cron jobs have completed
[02:57] <thesheff17> patdk-lap: file -s /dev/sdc1 should tell you :)
[02:57] <twister004> what is the easiest way to send cmd line emails using ubuntu?
[02:57] <twister004> i have sendmail installed
[02:59] <patdk-lap> LUKS encrypted file, ver 1 [aes, xts-plain:sha512, sha1] :)
[03:00] <rnigam> thesheff17: That particular entry has been there all the while. How do I install it using virsh.?
[03:00] <rnigam> is it possible?
[03:00] <thesheff17> rnigam: you have to get inside the vm...then apt-get install acpid or do it when you build the vm.
[03:01] <rnigam> thesheff17:I am not getting the console also to the guest ? any suggestions on what all I can try out?
[03:01] <thesheff17> rnigam: I actually have never used the console..I have either used ssh or virt-manager. I'm looking to see if I can get in my mv through the console command.
[03:01] <thesheff17> rnigam: I have used virsh...just not the console command.
[03:04] <rnigam> thesheff17: I am running a server edition of ubuntu that doesnt have GUI display
[03:05] <rnigam> virt-manager or virt-viewer would not work I believe !
[03:05] <thesheff17> rnigam: true..I have a ton of ubuntu desktops laying around.
[03:08] <rnigam> thesheff17: Anyway we can specify the ipaddress for the guest while creating it?
[03:08] <thesheff17> rnigam: yea of course
[03:08] <rnigam> i used vmbuilder !
[03:08] <rnigam> while creating it
[03:10] <thesheff17> rnigam: http://paste.ubuntu.com/577294/ here is my very long command I use a script to build all the params.
[03:10] <rnigam> thesheff17: vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite maverick --flavour virtual --arch i386 -o --libvirt qemu:///system --ip x.y.z.a --hostname 'ubuntu-vm1' --cpus 2 --mem '2048' --rootsize '8192' --swapsize '1024' --mask x.y.z.a --bcast x.y.z.a --gw x.y.z.a --dns x.y.z.a
[03:10] <thesheff17> rnigam: I use --firstboot to inject my SSH keys into the virtual machine...then I can ssh right into it.
[03:11] <rnigam> ahh i see !
[03:12] <thesheff17> rnigam: http://paste.ubuntu.com/577295/ my boot.sh with my key removed.
[03:13] <thesheff17> rnigam: I'm still looking at the console stuff...I would like to get that to work...one day I may not have a GUI :)
[03:13] <rnigam> thesheff17: that's one ugly way of creating vm's. We need to quickly work on writing config scripts that can do it !
[03:14] <rnigam> to work around the paramters easily !
[03:14] <thesheff17> rnigam: I build my virtual machines through a python script.
[03:14] <thesheff17> that generate that huge long command
[03:14] <rnigam> ya i was writing a shell script now
[03:18] <thesheff17> rnigam: I'm also starting to look into http://www.eucalyptus.com/ I have done a ton of work with boto on the EC2 cloud...and the boto EC2 library is great.  I have used virsh and vmbuilder for years now though with great success.
[03:21] <rnigam> thesheff17: interesting. I would love to experiment some stuff over the ec2 cloud.
[03:22] <rnigam> for now I have to go. Thanks for all your help. See you around.
[03:22] <cn1209> hello. I'm currently trying to reduce the size of my ubuntu-server. It's a VM and unfortunately the size has been allocated so I can't reduce it. Is there a way to backup an entire image of the server using something like dd backup that would create a backup image smaller than the actual server HD size? (only used space)
[03:22] <thesheff17> rnigam: see ya
[03:26] <thesheff17> cn1209: are you using virsh?
[03:27] <cn1209> thesheff17: No. I'm using VMWare ESXi
[03:28] <thesheff17> cn1209: haven't used vmware ESXi...though there should be a tool to do it build into vmware.  I used to use vmware 1.x free version and there was a command to shrink the virtual machine when it was off....not to many people here actually use vmware anymore.
[03:30] <thesheff17> twister004: I use this perl script to call sendmail from the command line: http://paste.ubuntu.com/577300/
[03:31] <cn1209> thesheff17: Unfortunately the image has been set to a certain size. So I believe the only way would be to shrink it within ubuntu. With that said, I wonder if I make a backup image within ubuntu; is the backup image going to be only the size of the used space and not the entire physical drive size?
[03:33] <twister004> thesheff17: sendmail is not running on the machine.... I have an exchange server in the same subnet(windows)... can I use some mail client to relay messages through this server?>
[03:33] <thesheff17> twister004: yea sendmail support a relayhost param...can you not run sendmail?
[03:33] <twister004> thesheff17: whenever I use cmd line to send mail.. I get the following message when I execute 'mailq'
[03:34] <twister004> il paste the error
[03:34] <thesheff17> cn1209: I would just backup the valuable data and re-create the vm with the drive size you want...that would be the safest option.
[03:35] <twister004> thesheff17: http://pastebin.com/QPH4caNV
[03:36] <cn1209> thesheff17: That'll work. Was just trying to skip that process :). But that will get the job done. thanks
[03:36] <twister004> thesheff17: any idea what's going on??
[03:37] <thesheff17> cn1209: look at the vmware ESXi shrink command
[03:37] <thesheff17> cn1209: what I would do inside the vm is wipe the rest of the drive with 1's using dd then try to use shrink.
[03:39] <smoser> hggdh, i'm sorry.. i was wrong about karmic.  karmic don't have a kernel inside the images so the quick trick I tried (just putting a /boot/grub/menu.lst in the image) is not sufficient
[03:39] <thesheff17> twister004: I would watch the /var/log/mail.log I bet the relayhost isn't working correctly
[03:41] <twister004> thesheff17: its the same error on the logs
[03:42] <thesheff17> twister004: have you configured sendmail?  I would also try postfix if you are not familiar with sendmail.
[03:43] <twister004> thesheff17: how can i use postfix to send mail via cmd line?
[03:43] <twister004> :D
[03:43] <twister004> i dont know much about postfix
[03:44] <thesheff17> twister004: postfix I believe still uses sendmail..to send yea...I don't know a ton about this...just enough to send emails using that perl script.
[03:46] <thesheff17> twister004: so try apt-get install postfix and add relayhost = xxx.xx.xx.xx /etc/postfix/main.cf restart postfix and try that perl script and see what the logs say.

[08:50] <jdepi> Hi all, a small question: I noticed that ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS has quite old libvirt versions (libvir 0.7.5) which lacks many functions, like managedsave or snapshotting.  What's the recommended way to get the latest versions there?
[08:51] <jdepi> ((ubuntu 10.10 has libir 0.8.3 which incorporates snapshotting etc))
[08:52] <nijaba> jdepi: first look into backports to see if the version you want is there
[08:52] <jdepi> I'm a little concerned to run critical VMs on a non-LTS version...  What is your opinion about this?
[08:53] <nijaba> jdepi: if it is not, then you have 3 choices: 1-upgrade to 10.10, 2-wait until next LTS(12.04), 3-Mess around with packages
[08:53] <nijaba> jdepi: I would have the same concerns as you
[08:53] <jdepi> thanks :-) but not very comforting
[08:54] <nijaba> jdepi: but only if I know I won't be upgrading that machine in the next 12month
[08:54] <jdepi> nijaba: i don't quite understand what you want to say?
[08:54] <nijaba> jdepi: non LTS versions are as stable as LTS ones, they just have a shorter life cycle
[08:54] <jdepi> aha
[08:54] <jdepi> ok, sorry, of course
[08:55] <jdepi> nijaba: it's 'just' a VM host, which will run our business's mail server (W2003-DOMINO) as a KVM
[08:57] <nijaba> jdepi: I see...  try to discuss whith hallyn when he is around, as he has been doing most of the KVM/qemu maintenance since 10.04
[08:57] <ClaudiuT> grr, I'm not seeing 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN after running ehlo mail.mydomain.com on telenet

[09:00] <jdepi> nijaba: thanks, i'll try
[09:02] <nandemonai> Tried checking the logs ClaudiuT?
[09:10] <jdepi> nijaba: backports doesn't offer me an upgrade for libvirt :-( so i'll upgrade to 10.10

[09:41] <memoryleak> hi there
[09:42] <memoryleak> hwo can i force aptitude to remove mysql-server including config and databases?
[09:42] <memoryleak> i want to restore the state wher it was out of the box before i touched mysql package
[09:45] <joschi> memoryleak: `aptitude purge` should do the trick
[09:46] <memoryleak> but it doesn't
[09:46] <memoryleak> still have /var/lib/mysql/* and /etc/mysql/*
[09:46] <memoryleak> and after reinstall it doesn't ask for a new root password
[09:47] <memoryleak> if i remove theme manually, mysql doesn't start after reinstall because of missing configuration (it doesn't create a new config)
[09:48] <memoryleak> so is there a way to fix this?
[09:49] <joschi> sounds like a bug to me
[09:49] <joschi> have you checked the launchpad bugtracker for the mysql-server package?
[09:49] <joschi> if there's no bugreport for this, you might want to create one
[09:51] <memoryleak> it seems that other ppl have this issue too
[10:07] <brontosaurusrex> hi, how would i go about dns and international chars in domain names? for example where do i park a domain : čubuntu.si for example?
[10:15] <Daviey> brontosaurusrex, can you clarify what you want to do?
[10:16] <Daviey> brontosaurusrex, You want to do something with a nameserver, or a parking provider?
[10:17] <brontosaurusrex> Daviey: well, it appears i have to park it to some dns provider, and it appears that i have to use punycode encoding , would that sound right?
[10:17] <SpamapS> Daviey: this squid problem seems to be mostly due to restart being a really, really awful command in upstart. :-/
[10:21] <Daviey> brontosaurusrex, yes... and example of this http://☃.daviey.com which is really xn--n3h.daviey.com
[10:21] <Daviey> SpamapS, urg
[10:22] <Daviey> SpamapS, We haven't had as many hits as 12.1... Does this mean that it doesn't hit everyone?
[10:23] <SpamapS> Daviey: the problem is that the 'restart' command that is used doesn't actually reload the new squid.conf
[10:23] <SpamapS> Daviey: so its a problem, I think, thats been ticking away like a time bomb waiting for an SRU..
[10:23] <SpamapS> Daviey: once people have installed 12.1 *and* stopped/started the service, all is well.
[10:23] <Daviey> SpamapS, so does this need an upstart SRU to do that, or do we need to work around it?
[10:24] <SpamapS> There's no fix for upstart.
[10:24] <brontosaurusrex> Daviey: right, any weirdness i can expect with apache and virtual hosts?
[10:24] <Daviey> brontosaurusrex, no
[10:24] <SpamapS> Daviey: no we need to fix the squid maintainer scripts to call stop/start instead of restart
[10:24] <brontosaurusrex> Daviey: cool, thanks
[10:24] <Daviey> brontosaurusrex, the browser sends the normal domain, not wacky chars :)
[10:24] <Daviey> SpamapS, ah
[10:25] <brontosaurusrex> Daviey: i should define the host as whacky or as 'normal' in apache?
[10:25] <SpamapS> Daviey: bug 726348 was opened a bit ago to address that... but it hasn't been triaged yet.
[10:25] <uvirtbot`> Launchpad bug 726348 in squid "squid's maintainer scripts call start/stop directly instead of using invoke-rc.d" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/726348

[10:25] <brontosaurusrex> ok, ty :)
[10:25] <SpamapS> Daviey: I think I'll go ahead and submit a fix for that.
[10:25] <Daviey> brontosaurusrex, not that i have tried putting punycode there... it /might/ work..
[10:26] <Daviey> SpamapS, Rockstar!
[10:26] <SpamapS> Daviey: unfortunately I think we've cocked up a few peoples' servers quite nicely with this circus. :-/
[10:28] <Daviey> SpamapS, Yeah, kinda embarrassing.. :)... but to be fair, i found it quite hard to reproduce the behaviour myself
[10:28] <Daviey> and 12.2 worked fine for me :/
[10:28] <Daviey> and... seems to have worked for lots of others, otherwise they would have reported it again
[10:28] <Daviey> AIUI the bug reports are for those going from 12->12.2 ...
[10:29] <SpamapS> Right, I've even tried loading up a squid proxy with 5 big downloads.. the restart seems to work. The only confusing thing is that it doesn't run squid w/ -N .. so the bug is still present even after upgrade
[10:29] <Daviey> SpamapS, Those that upgraded from 12.1 would have already restarted squid, hence got the new upstart conf :)
[10:29] <SpamapS> Daviey: well, not restarted... they'd have had to do a stop/start
[10:29] <LyonJT> Hey all!
[10:30] <SpamapS> Daviey: keybuk explained that restart is used to do basically a forced respawn.
[10:30] <LyonJT> Could someone please help me with setting up postfix & dovecot?
[10:30] <SpamapS> Daviey: its not supposed to start a new job file (which is really, really weird and totally different from sysvinit scripts)
[10:30] <Daviey> SpamapS, oh yeah
[10:30] <Daviey> SpamapS, ho hum
[10:32] <Daviey> SpamapS, you should surely be asleep?  TZ fun?
[10:32] <SpamapS> Daviey: still chasing the jetlag dragon

[10:48] <SpamapS> Hrm.. so I'm basically reverting squid v 2.7.STABLE7-1ubuntu12 at this point.. I wonder if that will reintroduce bug 552360

[11:56] <dougiebear> I am setting up a system using 6 servers (4 Ubuntu, 2 Windows). There will be 3 people accessing the machines. What is the best way to manage user accounts / passwords to keep in sync between all six machines?
[12:38] <speakman> hi folks! Not sure this is really the right channel, but I guess there's a few RAID gurus in here. I'm having two OCZ Vertex 2 120GB SSD disks in RAID0 (striping!) as my only system disk. But sometimes (randomly afaict) it can't assemble them corrently at boot. Ubuntu asks me if I'd like to start the system degraded, how that's possible on striping.. :)
[12:39] <speakman> According to dmesg, both sda1 and sdb1 (which becomes my md0) is found, but still it doesn't assemble them on boot.
[12:40] <speakman> Running mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 manually from busybox have no trouble assembling them.
[12:40] <speakman> Any ideas?
[12:42] <SpamapS> speakman: are they both partition type FD?
[12:53] <speakman> SpamapS: yepp, linux raid autodetect
[12:53] <speakman> It does work too, but it's fails randomly. About two out of three times I have to reboot and try again.
[12:55] <speakman> Sometimes I think it might need a tiny delay somewhere in the boot process. But I'm not really sure where to put it. And how.
[12:55] <SpamapS> weird
[12:55] <speakman> yes, very
[12:56] <SpamapS> the kernel should be handling that IIRC.. i wonder if we do something silly w/ mdadm to foil that
[12:57] <speakman> Running "mdadm --assemble /dev/md0" from the busybox prompt which shows up if boot fail, it has no problem assembling my raid setup.
[12:57] <speakman> dmesg also tells me both disks (and partitions) are present
[12:58] <SpamapS> yeah so i wonder if we are doing something odd like storing a stale config in the initrd
[12:59] <speakman> it's a fresh install of ubuntu maverick. Every setup has been made during installation.
[12:59] <speakman> not sure what you refer to as stale config?
[13:13] <speakman> hm.. isn't configfs built into ubuntu kernel?
[13:18] <SpamapS> speakman: yes, but you could have a conflicting mdadm.conf
[13:18] <SpamapS> speakman: you may want to report this as a bug
[13:18]  * SpamapS notes that mdadm has a *lot* of bug noise and needs some serious triage love.. :-P
[13:19] <speakman> :(
[13:19] <speakman> SpamapS: but how could mdadm.conf be conflicting? I can find only one entry in there.
[13:19] <speakman> wanna see it?

[13:20] <speakman> ?

[13:21] <SpamapS> speakman: no I'm just speculating

[13:21] <smoser> i will build a -proposed for karmic for you hggdh (should have done that yesterday)

[13:55] <hallyn> zul: i was about to ask smoser the same thing :)
[13:55] <Jeff_C_Linux> i try to dpkg -i --force- but it still kills with that error
[13:56] <SpamapS> Jeff_C_Linux: ok, well the message is just a warning. Its just telling you that it will be stopped at a different runlevel than the original author intended.
[13:56] <Jeff_C_Linux> now the old one will not run I can not install the new one
[14:01] <Daviey> smoser, Can you run the meeting today? :)
[14:02] <SpamapS> smoser: can you run the EU parliament today?
[14:08] <RoAkSoAx> morning all
[14:19] <bogeyd6> How can I set my server to automatically reboot every 2 hours? (Don't ask why, its weird, I know)
[14:20] <patdk-wk> crontab -e, 0 */2 * * * reboot
[14:20] <_ruben> a cronjob oughta do that task .. tho it wouldn't look at the uptime
[14:20] <bogeyd6> i think i need to use /sbin/shutdown and not just shutdown
[14:21]  * patdk-wk wonders what is so horribly wrong with it, that it needs a 2 hour reboot
[14:21] <patdk-wk> it's like worse than windows :(
[14:21] <bogeyd6> nothing is wrong
[14:21] <bogeyd6> its by design :)
[14:21] <bogeyd6> this is what i had in crontab * */2 * * * shutdown -r now
[14:22] <bogeyd6> but,  09:22:00 up 17:57,  2 users,  load average: 0.41, 0.42, 0.39
[14:35] <CharlieSu> Is it possible to use avahi-daemon to have two local hostnames?   box.local and other.local on the same server?
[15:26] <Jeff_C_Linux> is there a way to fix this error:  openfire stop runlevel arguments (0 1 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (1) : It keep bonking my install of openfire
[16:08] <progre55> hi guys. I was upgrading some packages on a remote server, and after a reboot, I get "connection refused" when trying to connecto to ssh.
[16:08] <ivoks> almost got a heart attack
[16:08] <ivoks> The following packages will be REMOVED
[16:08] <ivoks>   vim
[16:08] <ivoks> progre55: maybe it's still booting
[16:09] <progre55> there was a package called "login" on the list.. so I'm thinking it has something to do with that?
[16:09] <progre55> ivoks: it has been more than half an hour now..
[16:09] <progre55> I can ping it, but cannot ssh
[16:09] <ivoks> progre55: then something went wrong with booting
[16:09] <ivoks> progre55: no open ports?
[16:10] <SpamapS> ivoks: The following NEW packages will be installed because they are better than vim:
[16:10] <SpamapS> emacs
[16:10]  * SpamapS would like to let the record show that he is a vim  user ;)
[16:10] <progre55> ivoks: nope =(
[16:10] <ivoks> progre55: then something went wrong with booting
[16:10]  * progre55 is a vim user, too
[16:10] <progre55> ivoks: sux =( I'll never try upgrading production servers again.. ever1
[16:11] <progre55> !
[16:11] <ivoks> prodcution servers have ipmi
[16:11] <progre55> ipmi?
[16:11] <patdk-wk> ipmi is good
[16:11] <ivoks> yes, serial over lan
[16:11] <ivoks> or some other lights out management
[16:11] <ivoks> lets you easily fix anything
[16:12] <patdk-wk> ipmi/ilo/drac/....
[16:12] <progre55> hmm.. I'll try asking our service provider if they have ipmi
[16:12] <ivoks> but if you haven't heard of that, then it probably isn't configured :)
[16:12] <progre55> oh, no it's not )
[16:13] <ivoks> maybe your service provider knows better
[16:14] <ivoks> if it's in datacenter, you might just get lucky :)
[16:14] <patdk-wk> even if it's not enabled, your should be able to tell in lshw if it's installed
[16:14] <progre55> yeah it is in a datacenter.. and one of the datacenter admins promised to physically drive there and try restarting it..
[16:15] <ivoks> restarting probably won't help
[16:16] <ivoks> you need someone that understands 'white text on blank screen'
[16:16] <ivoks> black
[16:16] <progre55> patdk-wk: I dont see anything related to the keywords "ipmi" running lshw =)
[16:16] <progre55> ivoks: yeah the guy does.. and hope he's kind enough to try fixing it =)
[16:16] <ivoks> progre55: what server is that? dell, sun, hp?
[16:17] <patdk-wk> me neither, let me check what it's called
[16:17] <ivoks> home made?
[16:17] <progre55> honestly, dont know.. I just have remote access to it
[16:17] <progre55> ivoks: not home-made though, it's a hosting by cybercom
[16:17] <progre55> hosted by*
[16:18] <patdk-wk> hmm, lshw doesn't show it, how strange
[16:18] <patdk-wk> ipmi-locate :)
[16:19] <progre55> let me try that..
[16:19] <progre55> or.. are you just kidding? =)
[16:19] <patdk-wk> no
[16:19] <patdk-wk> IPMI Version: 1.5
[16:19] <patdk-wk> IPMI locate driver: DEFAULT
[16:19] <patdk-wk> IPMI interface: KCS
[16:19] <patdk-wk> seems I have 4 interfaces to ipmi in this system
[16:19] <progre55> oh.. well, I dont even have that command, so I'm guessing, no ipmi for me then =)
[16:20] <patdk-wk> well, you have to install the ipmi package
[16:20] <patdk-wk> it's in freeipmi-tools
[16:21] <ivoks> openipmi-tools
[16:21] <patdk-wk> I had issues with openipmi on this system
[16:21] <ivoks> ups
[16:21] <ivoks> i don't use it at all
[16:22] <patdk-wk> I mainly use it to monitor fan/temp/volts
[16:23] <patdk-wk> ah, here is a way without installing anything: dmidecode --type 38
[16:24] <progre55> so, if it says "FAILED" on all the points, does it mean ipmi is not installed? )
[16:24] <patdk-wk> most likely
[16:24] <ivoks> ipmi is a device; you can't really install it
[16:24] <ivoks> you need to buy it :)
[16:24] <progre55> well I mean, attached
[16:24] <progre55> or, set up
[16:24] <patdk-wk> ivoks, depends
[16:24] <patdk-wk> motherboard must have support
[16:25] <patdk-wk> some motherboards the ipmi stuff comes as an extra addon, but most times it's built in if it's supported
[16:26] <ivoks> on supermicro, it can be installed later
[16:26] <ivoks> EOD :)
[16:27] <progre55> well, thanks guys, appreciate
[16:27] <progre55> I'll go convince the management to buy ipmi =)
[16:28] <azertyy> hello there
[16:28] <patdk-wk> ilo2 if you want to be really lazy :)
[16:28] <azertyy> i can't ssh to my server
[16:29] <azertyy> this is the error what i got : ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
[16:29] <azertyy> during the authentification session
[16:41] <oneseventeen> I have a new volume mapped to a certain location... how do I get all the specific details to add it to fstab?
[16:42] <compdoc> just emulate whats aleady in fstab
[16:43] <compdoc> you know the /dev/x and the filesystem, etc?
[16:45] <oneseventeen> compdoc: I know it is /dev/sdb1 and is ext3
[16:45] <compdoc> a lot of ppl use the UUID instead, because the /dev/x can change when you add drives, etc
[16:46] <oneseventeen> I guess I'm also curious about what options to flag in fstab for this new volume.
[16:46] <patdk-wk> hell, mine change each reboot (damned usb flash card reader)
[16:46] <oneseventeen> patdk-wk: this is for that iSCSI volume I connected to yesterday.
[16:46] <patdk-wk> blkid
[16:46] <patdk-wk> copy uuid into fstab
[16:46] <patdk-wk> everything else you should probably know
[16:47] <oneseventeen> actually I don't know what the options should be.
[16:47] <patdk-wk> options?
[16:47] <patdk-wk> well, what options did you use when you manually mounted it?
[16:47] <patdk-wk> mount -o xxxxxx
[16:47] <oneseventeen> I didn't use any options
[16:47] <patdk-wk> then just say, defaults
[16:48] <compdoc> do you need fstab for iscsi volumes? been a while since I used iscsi
[16:48] <patdk-wk> compdoc, have to mount them somehow
[16:48] <patdk-wk> and all filesystems should be in fstab, as far as I care
[16:49] <compdoc> last time was when I accidently connected to an iscsi that was already connected to another server - screwed up the volume
[16:49] <patdk-wk> compdoc, fix your iscsi target permissions then :)
[16:50] <Magnus> Hi
[16:50] <patdk-wk> or use a filesystem that is made for that :)
[16:50] <compdoc> naw, I dont really need iscsi, as it turns out
[16:50] <compdoc> too dangerous
[16:51] <Magnus> I am not even sure if this is the best IRC-channel for my questions. Where should I post questions on Ubuntu and ISPconfig 3?
[16:52] <greppy> Magnus: I'd probably aim for the ISPconfig forums or mailing list.
[16:52] <patdk-wk> I can't find ispconfig in ubuntu
[16:54] <Magnus> It's something I found in How-to forge. http://www.howtoforge.com
[16:54] <patdk-wk> hmm, ispconfigs idea of a perfect server and mine conflict
[16:55] <Magnus> I guessed that much: that ISPconfig isn't the good system for everyone
[16:56] <Magnus> I was aiming for a simple webmin system, but since it have been abandoned, I have to find a new.
[16:57] <Magnus> I have found that ISPconfig doesn't update well.
[16:59] <Magnus> Does anyone of You know of SysCP?
[17:00] <greppy> Magnus: if you are looking for a hosting control panel, you might want to take a look at http://froxlor.org
[17:01] <oneseventeen> patdk-wk: any tips on auto-connecting the iSCSI mount?
[17:01] <oneseventeen> apparently adding to fstab doesn't help if the drive doesn't mount... oops!
[17:01] <Magnus> Thanks! Any advice is helpful. The only thing I really need is a good manual of all operations. I hate making a manual myself for anyone else working on the system.
[17:02] <kirkland> zul: ping
[17:03] <patdk-wk> oneseventeen, hmm, in my cases, it always auto-connected on boot
[17:03] <compdoc> I thought the iscsi software automatically conencted to volumes at boot
[17:07] <oneseventeen> patdk-wk: I'm connecting via iscsiadm -m node --targetname {targetname} --portal {portal IP} -l
[17:07] <oneseventeen> do I need to do anything other than that?
[17:07] <oneseventeen> noob question: how do I mount based on fstab?
[17:08] <Magnus> bye
[17:09] <oneseventeen> mount -a
[17:09] <oneseventeen> it was on my screen, just had to read it..
[17:21] <oneseventeen> ouch!!!!
[17:22] <oneseventeen> I set iscsiadm to autoconnect and it attempting autoconnecting to ALL volumes!
[17:42] <hallyn> kirkland: people.canonical.com/~serge/qemu-kvm-0.14.0+noroms-package.tgz is what i'm thinking of uploading
[17:43] <kirkland> hallyn: congrads on the shiny new upload privs :-)
[17:45] <hallyn> kirkland: last i checked they were not yet in effect :(
[17:45] <hallyn> but thanks :)
[17:48] <kirkland> hallyn: i can't look at it this moment, but i will, if you like, before uploading
[17:49] <hallyn> kirkland: thanks.  I assume I need to file an FFE in any case?
[17:57] <kiffa> hi
[17:57] <kiffa> is ubuntu also free for black ppl ?
[18:01]  * RoAkSoAx off to lunch
[18:20]  * hallyn out for lunch
[18:22] <mray> RoAkSoAx: http://robhirschfeld.com/2011/03/08/unboxing-openstack-clouds/ is what I was talking about previously
[18:23] <mray> no reason it has to do OpenStack, it's a framework for bare-metal to bios to provisioned operating system
[18:23] <mray> uses PXE
[18:44] <RoAkSoAx> mray: let's see...
[18:50] <RoAkSoAx> mray: interesting indeed
[18:50] <mray> I believe next month is when it finally goes open source (apache2) at the OpenStack Design Summit
[18:51] <RoAkSoAx> cool zul will be there
[19:02] <_ruben> holy crap .. find -exec rm {} \; sure doesn't seem to be a very fast solution .. 7.5 hrs and still going .. all it needs to do is delete 3 milion files totalling 17G
[19:33] <hallyn> _ruben: sometimes mkfs is faster :)
[19:35] <_ruben> hallyn: haha, i'll be sure to try that next time ;)
[19:41] <SpamapS> s/sometimes/most of the time/
[19:47] <_ruben> SpamapS: it kinda depends on "certain overheads" to achieve a given goal i guess
[19:49] <SpamapS> _ruben: right, I'd say its at a few hundred files/directories, or a few hundred MB of data where mkfs becomes faster.
[19:49] <_ruben> bugger .. the recovery option on the server cd only offers a busybox shell .. no apt/ssh/whatever
[19:50] <SpamapS> _ruben: you can mount your filesystems and get most of that.
[19:50] <_ruben> SpamapS: not when it's vm with empty disks .. the contents of the disks i'll be transfering off another box
[19:51] <_ruben> (migrating old legacy system from phys to virt)
[19:52] <lifeless> SpamapS: hey
[19:52] <_ruben> i really oughta setup a pxe/nfs environment for stuff like this
[19:52] <lifeless> SpamapS: remember how haproxy didn't need changing to backport ...
[19:52] <lifeless> SpamapS: would you like the bad news?
[19:52] <SpamapS> lifeless: No I'd like you to lie to me, please.
[19:53] <SpamapS> _ruben: all you need is netcat and tar. ;)
[19:53] <lifeless> SpamapS: ok, I'll lie. The CAT repository accepts source format 3, so its all copacetic.
[19:53] <SpamapS> :)
[19:54] <_ruben> ah. netcat (well, nc) *is* there
[19:54]  * _ruben rubs eyes
[19:54] <SpamapS> _ruben: rsync would even be better
[19:54] <SpamapS> lifeless: remind me what CAT is?
[19:55] <lifeless> SpamapS: so yeah, we need a format 1 version for tom to upload to cat - the canonical sysadmin archive
[19:55] <SpamapS> ahhh
[19:55] <lifeless> SpamapS: there are two, and only two, sources for packages in the datacentre - a mirror of lucid, and the cat archive
[19:55] <SpamapS> ahh
[19:56] <lifeless> deploy a package from a ppa in the dc means 'somewhere lamont can copy-source-cross-archive-to-cat'
[19:56] <_ruben> SpamapS: yeah, but that's not avail in the recovery shell
[19:56] <SpamapS> lifeless: while the source format is 3.0 (quilt) .. there are no patches.. so simply changing debian/source/format to '1.0' whould be sufficient.
[19:57] <SpamapS> _ruben: perhaps a better way to do this is simply a live cd.
[19:57] <lifeless> SpamapS: thanks
[19:59] <_ruben> SpamapS: downloading one as well, in case the current netcat/tar would fail ;)
[19:59] <_ruben> 2 very simple but mighty versatile swiss army knives
[19:59] <hggdh> Daviey, there still?
[20:02] <SpamapS> _ruben: about 10 years ago I migrated a box with     # tar --exclude=dev --exclude=proc --exclude=sys -cf - | nc otherbox 9999  .. and the reverse command on the other side.
[20:02] <SpamapS> err.. there's a '/' there too
[20:03] <SpamapS> Though after I finished, i rsynced too, and found 1 file had a bit level error in it.
[20:04] <_ruben> SpamapS: the nc/tar will be the initial conversion, once i get the clone booting, etc, i'll do a last rsync with the various file-changing-services stopped :)
[20:15] <oneseventeen> Does anyone know how to make open-iscsi reconnect to one (and only one) specific iSCSI target on boot?
[20:18] <phoenixsampras> what is a good router software?
[20:19] <highvoltage> phoenixsampras: vyatta
[20:20] <phoenixsampras> easy to config?
[20:20] <highvoltage> depends what you need and what you mean by easy.
[20:20] <phoenixsampras> lets say a webconsole, and just to make a vpn and router for home
[20:21] <highvoltage> hmm, not sure, but hang around, there's bound to be someone in this channel with a good suggestion for that :)
[20:24] <phoenixsampras> yeh, something very for dummies plz
[20:31] <Daviey> hggdh, yes
[20:31] <hggdh> Daviey, I am taking over (actually, already have) sapodilla and soncoya
[20:32] <oneseventeen> is there a way to *really* uninstall/remove all settings for a package?
[20:32] <oneseventeen> I just uninstalled open-iscsi, and upon reinstall it is trying to set up iSCSI targets
[20:32] <oneseventeen> my whole point of uninstalling was to flush any memory of targets as it is tryign to connect to targets that are in use on other production servers
[20:32] <hggdh> oneseventeen, apt-get purge <package>
[20:34] <oneseventeen> hggdh: awesome, that worked perfectly!
[20:35] <hggdh> oneseventeen, glad to be able to help
[20:36] <Daviey> hggdh, free free to have all of them :)
[20:37] <hggdh> Daviey, right now, no need, two of them is enough to play with the newly-available command-line options to euca
[20:47] <Daviey> hggdh, heh
[21:09] <oneseventeen> do any of you use open-iscsi? just trying to sort out how to auto-login to a single target vs. all discoverable targets
[21:21] <Patrickdk> oneseventeen, that I never solved, it mounts all luns, and I never found a way to limit it
[21:21] <Patrickdk> but then, it never bothered me either
[21:23] <oneseventeen> thanks...
[21:23] <oneseventeen> I may just not use iSCSI in linux if that winds up being the case.
[21:23] <oneseventeen> we have about 10 targets on our SAN that each belong to a different server.
[21:23] <oneseventeen> definitely messes things up when my linux server suddenly connects to all targets
[21:34] <pmatulis> oneseventeen: yes, of course you can
[21:34] <oneseventeen> pmatulis: might you know how?
[21:36] <oneseventeen> I'm in the process of uninstalling and starting over from scratch without using an iSCSI volume
[21:37] <oneseventeen> (and just hoping I don't need that extra space)
[21:37] <pmatulis> oneseventeen: simply update the record id for the targets you want
[21:41] <oneseventeen> pmatulis: SWEET!
[21:42] <oneseventeen> I searched the man page for record ID and found how to make a specific target startup automatically.
[21:42] <oneseventeen> just rebooted and it started up just fine.
[21:42] <pmatulis> oneseventeen: keep on truckin'
[21:44] <oneseventeen> seriously... mentioning that I needed to update the record ID helped me find something that I've been looking for all day yesterday and today
[21:44] <oneseventeen> (although, I've only had an hour or so at my desk today, but still)
[22:07] <lamont> lifeless: the -cat repository accepts format 3 packages in that I repackage them to format 1.0 when I upload them...
[22:07] <lifeless> lamont: right, see the haproxy rt I filed.
[22:08] <lamont> joy
[22:08] <lifeless> lamont: mthaddon was asking for haproxy1.4 to be format 1-ised for upload to CAT
[22:08] <lifeless> lamont: but as SpamapS says this should be trivial... perhaps you have a few minutes to do that ?
[22:09] <lamont> 1) dpkg-source -x haproxy_${mumble}.dsc; echo 1 > haproxy-$mumbleish/debian/source/format; repackage
[22:09] <BDaughtry> can anyone tell me what the Glib C is for the latest version. We are thinking of using it for an erp software we are buying. they erp software company needs this info so they can tell us if it will work
[22:09] <lamont> 3.0 formats all unpack to patched source
[22:10] <lamont> ii  libc6                    2.13-0ubuntu4            Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries
[22:10] <lamont> BDaughtry: that's what it says on the natty box I'm looking at
[22:10] <BDaughtry> oh ok thanks alot!
[22:24] <lifeless> lamont: right but I can't upload to CAT, can I ?
[22:30] <lamont> lifeless: I seriously doubt it.
[22:30] <lamont> as in, no/
[22:31]  * lamont is working on some other tickets, but any of the losas has the technology for dealing with the backport, too
[22:32] <lifeless> lamont: right, though spm is off :)
[22:32] <lifeless> lamont: if I can nab a few minutes from e.g. chex, could you step him through it?
[22:32] <lamont> yeah, I remember hearing that
[22:32] <lamont> bah.  what's the ticket number?
[22:34] <lifeless> lamont: 44376
[23:22] <navanjr> can i move my EC2 Instance to UEC?
[23:23] <hggdh> RoAkSoAx, there still?
[23:23] <RoAkSoAx> hggdh: yes
[23:24] <RoAkSoAx> hggdh: what's up?
[23:24] <hggdh> RoAkSoAx, yet another bug on eucalyptus-common (related to the import admin you just fixed, I guess)
[23:25] <RoAkSoAx> hggdh: bug #?
[23:26] <hggdh> opening now
[23:26] <RoAkSoAx> hggdh: oki doki ;)
[23:26] <hggdh> RoAkSoAx, bug 731672
[23:27] <RoAkSoAx> hggdh: that's an easy one
[23:27] <RoAkSoAx> >P
[23:27] <hggdh> RoAkSoAx, and yet another import error from admin, at the end
[23:27] <hggdh> RoAkSoAx, I know :-)
[23:27] <hggdh> Even I could fix this one :-)
[23:28] <RoAkSoAx> hggdh: alrighty I prepare a patch and good timning btw cause I was planning to do another thing to the packaging but wasn't worth it the upload if it was just that tone
[23:28] <RoAkSoAx> hggdh: btw.. try more commands to see if there's any other python module missing
[23:29] <hggdh> RoAkSoAx, that's what I am doing ;-)
[23:29] <RoAkSoAx> :)
[23:29] <hggdh> RoAkSoAx, you notice the additional error at the end?
[23:30] <RoAkSoAx> hggdh: ImportError: cannot import name local
[23:30] <hggdh> yes
[23:31] <RoAkSoAx> hggdh: yeha will deal with it too... I wonder for how many releases was this not available :)
[23:31] <RoAkSoAx> hggdh: i need to file a bug in upstream for them to use the correct python dirs for the modules, they install them in /usr/sbin when they shouldn/t
[23:31] <hggdh> RoAkSoAx, *this* one, IDK. For euca-admin... some ;-)
[23:32] <hggdh> RoAkSoAx, as far as I can remember, upstream for Euca is here -- just "also affects project" on euca
[23:32] <RoAkSoAx> hggdh: this ones are obviosly because we were lacking euca-admin and that;'s what I meant... ("It's been so long that we are just realizing of the missing python modules and stuff")
[23:32] <RoAkSoAx> hggdh: their Makefiles are the ones that should be corrected
[23:33] <hggdh> oh, OK
