| RoAkSoAx | hggdh: maybe is gonna be best to take that out from eucalyptus-common into a new package | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| Daviey | RoAkSoAx, o/ | 00:06 |
| RoAkSoAx | Daviey: ok so I was thinking, what's the purpose of euca-* commands? | 00:07 |
| RoAkSoAx | Daviey: are those to be run only | 00:07 |
| RoAkSoAx | on the CLC | 00:07 |
| RoAkSoAx | or on any machine that install eucalyptus-common? | 00:07 |
| hggdh | RoAkSoAx, euca-* could be run remotely | 00:08 |
| hggdh | from a machine external to the cloud | 00:08 |
| hggdh | the hell is that there are euca-* in euca2ools and in eucalyptus* | 00:09 |
| RoAkSoAx | hggdh: uhmmm | 00:09 |
| === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond | ||
| hggdh | RoAkSoAx, nothing prohibits you from installing euca2ools on your laptop and using it there to control an Eucalyptus cloud elsewhere (or EC2) | 00:11 |
| RoAkSoAx | hggdh: ok so as far as I can see the | 00:12 |
| RoAkSoAx | python module euca_admin is only shipped with the eucalyptus source | 00:12 |
| hggdh | yes. It seems to be used by some *other* euca-* -- like add-user, delete-user, and perhaps others -- | 00:13 |
| RoAkSoAx | while euca2ools ships a whole set of euca-* commands that do not use the euca_admin module | 00:13 |
| hggdh | yes | 00:13 |
| hggdh | these seem to be restricted to running under the cloud | 00:14 |
| RoAkSoAx | Daviey: hggdh so what we could do is separate those euca-* commands and moduel into a separate packages and maybe from euca2ools also install them/it as a Dependency | 00:14 |
| RoAkSoAx | hggdh: right euca_admin module seems to be run under the could | 00:14 |
| hggdh | RoAkSoAx, I would like to know *why* eucalyptus split the euca-*, first of all | 00:14 |
| RoAkSoAx | hggdh: because those binaries that use euca_admin seem to be only for the CLC: the source is organized as: /clc/tools/src/euca_admin/ | 00:15 |
| hggdh | before we go and split them. the euca-* admin functions would -- most probably -- be restricted to the CLC, I do not know why | 00:16 |
| hggdh | since -common is installed in the CLC, there is no missing dependency | 00:16 |
| RoAkSoAx | hggdh: whose the contact in eucalytpus for this? | 00:16 |
| hggdh | RoAkSoAx, Dmitrii, or Daniel, IIRC | 00:16 |
| RoAkSoAx | hggdh: right but -common is also installed in the NC,CC,walrus, sc | 00:16 |
| RoAkSoAx | hggdh: nicknames? | 00:17 |
| hggdh | hum | 00:17 |
| hggdh | on the #eucalyptus channel... | 00:17 |
| hggdh | cerealkllr is, I think, Daniel | 00:18 |
| hggdh | deckie is from Eucalyptus, but I do not remember his name... Chris? | 00:19 |
| hggdh | I do not see any that I would associate with Dmitrii, but I do not remember even chatting with him | 00:19 |
| hggdh | RoAkSoAx, another bit of data: I can create an user with euca-add-user, but the user is created disabled, and I cannot see how to enable it :-( | 00:21 |
| RoAkSoAx | hggdh: ok so I guess the best is to separate the euca-* binaries shipped in eucalyptus-common into its own separate package | 00:31 |
| RoAkSoAx | Daviey: ^^ | 00:31 |
| hggdh | RoAkSoAx, I agree. But, for consistency, euca-get-credentials should be in this new package, should it not? | 00:32 |
| RoAkSoAx | hggdh: I believe it should | 00:32 |
| hggdh | and we should add a depends on eucalyptus so that it would be autoinstalled on the CLC | 00:33 |
| RoAkSoAx | eucalyptus-admin-tools probably | 00:33 |
| RoAkSoAx | hggdh: yeah | 00:33 |
| hggdh | probably on eucalyptus-cloud (I guess) | 00:34 |
| RoAkSoAx | hggdh: i guess we should add the depend in eucalyptus-cloud | 00:34 |
| benlake | situation: 6.06 md raid1 + lvm + lilo, worked great for 2 years sans kernel updates... finally decided to update kernel, reboot, hosed. Cannot boot, not even the backup kernel which is awesome. Two things that concerned me when doing updates was for lvm2 and udev. I probably should of known better with lvm2 since its metadata is not backwards compatible and apparently lilo freaked. udev, well, that also caused lilo to freak do to dev | 00:34 |
| benlake | mapping changing on it, it threw warnings, but internet said it was ok to ignore. Long story short, I have a perfectly valid md array and lvm(2?) setup that I can reliably access in rescue mode, but I cannot, for the last 10 hours, get lilo to run so I can install an new/old/different kernel image. | 00:34 |
| hggdh | yeah | 00:35 |
| benlake | if anyone would be so kind, I would gladly buy something off their wishlist as this is killing me. | 00:35 |

| rnigam | any comments on setting up bridge network for kvm guests anyone? | 00:44 |
| rnigam | ubuntu-server is the host and the guest | 00:44 |
| pmatulis | rnigam: did you try the ubuntu kvm docs? | 00:46 |
| rnigam | pmatuils: Going through them but I must confess don't have an indepth networking knowledge. | 00:59 |
| rnigam | So my network admin has given me a set of ips that I can use for vm's i am creating | 01:01 |
| rnigam | Do I still need a bridge? | 01:01 |
| rnigam | according to the ubuntu kvm docs | 01:02 |
| rnigam | eth0 must be set manual and br0 must have static address with bridge_ports=eth0 set! so does this mean all my vms traffic will pass through the br0 interface? | 01:04 |
| w1k3d | I would like to use the EBS version of Ubuntu 10.10 for Amazon EC2. Does that VM have the entire OS stored on EBS (i.e., will stuff I install be persistent)? | 01:07 |
| pmatulis | rnigam: you want a bridge if you need to be able to contact the guests from an external host (ex: ssh into the guest) | 01:11 |
| pmatulis | w1k3d: no, the OS will not reside on the EBS volume. to do that, you need to do some special trickery | 01:13 |
| w1k3d | pmatulis: How can I put everything on EBS? | 01:13 |
| w1k3d | or, be able to save the modified image | 01:15 |
| erichammond | w1k3d: Yes, The OS will reside on the root EBS volume if you are running an EBS boot instance. Your entire file system will persist except for (by default) things under /mnt which is the ephemeral storage. | 01:15 |
| w1k3d | oh, i see | 01:15 |
| erichammond | "will persist" = through stop/start cycles, but not (by default) if you "terminate" the instance. | 01:16 |
| w1k3d | i wasn't sure if "EBS" instance meant that there was just an EBS volume mounted or if it meant everyting was on EBS. | 01:16 |
| w1k3d | what's the difference? | 01:16 |
| ddbt86 | good day, is there someone willing to help me setup a VPS for Ruby on Rails? | 01:17 |
| ddbt86 | or at least answer some questions about the process.. | 01:17 |
| erichammond | w1k3d: I don't understand the question. When you run an EBS boot instance the root file system is on an EBS volume. | 01:17 |
| pmatulis | w1k3d: sorry, i thought you were using UEC | 01:18 |
| w1k3d | ok, that's what i wanted | 01:18 |
| w1k3d | but why will terminating cause me to lose my data? | 01:18 |
| erichammond | w1k3d: If you "terminate" the instance, then EC2 deletes your EBS volume (by default). If you "stop" the instance, the volume is still there and you can "start" the instance again. | 01:20 |
| w1k3d | ah, i see. That's quite tricky naming. | 01:20 |
| w1k3d | thanks | 01:20 |
| erichammond | w1k3d: It is possible to keep your EBS volume around if you modify some instance attributes before terminating, but it's rare you want that. | 01:21 |
| erichammond | w1k3d: I wrote some related info here: http://alestic.com/2010/01/ec2-instance-locking | 01:22 |
| Patrickdk | isn't the normal way to back it up to s3 if you wanted to keep it? | 01:23 |
| === rn is now known as rnigam | ||
| KurtKraut | pmatulis, w1k3d, a t1.micro is fully hosted and bootable in a EBS image. | 01:42 |
| erichammond | Patrickdk: It is possible to create EBS snapshots of any EBS volume (including the root EBS volume on an EBS boot instance). EBS snapshots are stored in S3 (eleven 9's of reliability). | 01:43 |
| patdk-lap | I totally dont get google | 01:50 |
| patdk-lap | something keeps accessing my webserver, from a google owned ip block | 01:50 |
| patdk-lap | but it's not googlebot or something | 01:50 |
| patdk-lap | it has no ptr for the ip, and that is odd for google | 01:50 |
| patdk-lap | but it does several hundred http connections per second | 01:50 |
| patdk-lap | today from ip's 72.14.194.17 and 72.14.194.18 | 01:51 |
| KurtKraut | patdk-lap, nmap on those IPs outputs something useful? | 02:17 |
| benlake | so while booting, lvm dies complaining about a pv it can't find and the system drops into busybox | 02:19 |

| patdk-lap | All filtered. | 02:25 |
| lifeless | benlake: hmm, I'm not sure | 02:34 |
| lifeless | benlake: the lvm master command should be present | 02:34 |
| benlake | lifeless: sadly, it is not | 02:35 |
| EvilPhoenix | anyone know why postfix can't send email, and generates this error when trying to send via CLI? postdrop: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file or directory | 02:46 |
| patdk-lap | you really messed with the config file pretty good | 02:48 |
| patdk-lap | and messed up master.cf | 02:48 |
| * EvilPhoenix grumbles | 03:00 | |
| EvilPhoenix | the original sendmail package that was packaged with ubuntu didnt work either | 03:00 |
| ScottK | The postfix package as shipped has no such problems, so the configuration or something else has been changed. | 03:01 |
| EvilPhoenix | i've run dpkg-reconfigure on it 8 times | 03:02 |
| EvilPhoenix | still seems to be f'd | 03:02 |
| EvilPhoenix | the issue occurred with the out-of-the-box sendmail package which postfix replaced | 03:03 |
| EvilPhoenix | any idea how i can fix this? | 03:03 |
| ScottK | Purge it (sudo apt-get purge postfix), make sure any residual files in /etc/postfix are removed, then reinstall postfix. | 03:03 |
| ScottK | You can't install postfix and sendmail packages at the same time. | 03:03 |
| EvilPhoenix | i know that | 03:04 |
| EvilPhoenix | this issue was already existent prior to apt-get purge sendmail; apt-get install postfix | 03:04 |
| roasted_ | I changed my DHCP range on my Ubuntu server, but when I PXE boot systems to it, it grabs the old range. What do I have to change for PXE to use the new range? | 03:37 |
| twb | EvilPhoenix: that sounds like one of postfix's spool directories is buggered (e.g. doesn't exist, or bad ownership/permissions) | 03:40 |
| twb | EvilPhoenix: #postfix would probably have a better idea | 03:40 |
| EvilPhoenix | twb: strange thing is it happens on a Debian Squeeze box too, which makes me thing its a more global issue, like f'd disk images or something | 03:48 |
| EvilPhoenix | twb: i'll take a look there later, thanks | 03:50 |
| roasted_ | nobody familiar with pxe boot? | 03:51 |
| twb | roasted_: the ubuntu server is the DHCP and TFTP server? | 03:55 |
| roasted_ | twb, yes | 03:56 |
| roasted_ | Im using LTSP. The clients PXE boot to it and pulls down the Ubuntu image accordingly. | 03:56 |
| roasted_ | I'm setting up a test environment here at home, but I use 1.X here at home so I wanted to change the third octet of 0's to 1's so I could get through the gateway etc. | 03:57 |
| roasted_ | But now that I did that, when I PXE boot, it's still looking for 0.X | 03:57 |
| roasted_ | So I got to wonder if I needed to edit a PXE file to for 1.X usage since I changed the range. | 03:57 |
| twb | I don't know what you mean by "0.x" and "1.x" | 03:59 |
| roasted_ | 192.168.0.X vs 192.168.1.X | 04:00 |
| twb | You shouldn't use either of those, because EVERYONE uses them | 04:01 |
| roasted_ | that's the point | 04:02 |
| roasted_ | Im setting up a test environment here. at home. | 04:02 |
| roasted_ | I use 192.168.1.X, so I WANT to use that to mesh up with the network. | 04:02 |
| roasted_ | But with 0.X I'm unable to get through the gateway. I cant install updates, etc. | 04:02 |
| roasted_ | So I swapped my DHCP range and IP on the server to be 192.168.1.X but the PXE boot still pulls 192.168.0.X addresses | 04:03 |
| twb | Er, DHCP and PXE do not work across gateways | 04:03 |
| roasted_ | well when I have a static IP of 192.168.0.254 (it assigned this by default with LTSP) I cant get external access | 04:03 |
| roasted_ | and I want external access... | 04:03 |
| twb | But if you're getting a DHCPACK in 192.168.0/24 from the DHCP server, it's because you haven't reconfigured it properly | 04:03 |
| twb | roasted_: you cannot simply statically assign an address at random and have return packets routed back to you | 04:05 |
| roasted_ | I think Im missing a file | 04:05 |
| roasted_ | because I need a gateway, right | 04:05 |
| twb | No | 04:05 |
| twb | You need to reconfigure the router to handle 192.168.0/24 as well as 192.168.1/24 | 04:05 |
| twb | If you add a gateway, you packets will get out, but the response packets will never get to you because your router won't know you exist | 04:06 |
| roasted_ | I'd rather just switch to 1.X since I may have to do it at work anyway when I most the setup there | 04:07 |
| roasted_ | so I'd like to learn how to swap the entire range | 04:07 |
| twb | I'm not stopping you | 04:07 |
| roasted_ | how would I do it in ubuntu alone, taking pxe out of it | 04:09 |
| roasted_ | change the DHCP range that is | 04:09 |
| twb | That depends what DHCP server you're using | 04:09 |
| roasted_ | Im using ubuntu for the dhcp server. | 04:09 |
| twb | Ubuntu ships several. | 04:09 |
| roasted_ | dhcp3 | 04:10 |
| twb | Dunno | 04:10 |
| roasted_ | how do I find out what Im using | 04:10 |
| twb | netstat -nlp, look at what is LISTEN on the UDP bootps port | 04:10 |
| twb | Which is port 67 | 04:10 |
| kieppie | hi guys. I'm looking for details on kernel versions: server, generic, virtual, preempt. where an I find details & differences re each? | 04:16 |
| roasted_ | so does anybody know how to change the dhcp scope in ubuntu? | 04:17 |
| Datz | kieppie: there's stuff out there. I really haven't found too much. but there's this dated piece: http://www.serverwatch.com/tutorials/article.php/3716396/Ubuntu-Server-Kernel-Comparisons-and-Implementation-Issues.htm | 04:19 |

| kieppie1 | orly? reinventing the wheel much rather than rtfm? i.e. does the virtual refer to the kernel suited for virt hosts or clients (diff totally undocumented)? I know server is for server & generic suitable for desktops. | 04:45 |

| joeskil | TheInfinity: And thanks. I really didn't think of the DB dumping.... | 11:11 |

| kim0 | hehe | 12:36 |
| hallyn | kim0: virt-viewer widget I don't know what to do about offhand. We can look at libvirt and vmtools and virt-viewer and see if we need spice-enabled versions | 12:36 |
| hallyn | kim0: so do you think we should stick with the versions in ppa for now? | 12:37 |
| hallyn | all the better of so, one thing less on my todo list | 12:37 |
| kim0 | hallyn: in a ppa is fine for me | 12:37 |
| hallyn | you mean what is now in ppa is fine? | 12:37 |
| kim0 | but we can sync to latest stable 0.8 release ? | 12:37 |
| hallyn | that's what i was asking | 12:37 |
| hallyn | ok, i'll do that | 12:37 |

| Daviey | lool, Hmm... I think you need to talk to the kernel team, but keep smoser in the loop. | 15:11 |
| Daviey | lool, I don't think smoser modifies the kernel from what they build for him. | 15:11 |
| blackxored | hello guys | 15:12 |
| thafreak | Morning server peeps | 15:12 |
| lool | Daviey: I moved to #ubuntu-kernel already, thanks for confirming though, appreciated | 15:12 |
| thafreak | quick survey...anyone using anything for automation/config management? i.e. something like puppet? | 15:12 |
| Daviey | lool, i should have looked :) | 15:12 |
| blackxored | I've had an asterisk setup in the past, didn't lasted because of management, now the buzz about web conference has found its place again, and I want to setup something for web conference. What do you recommend? Fast is the dominating point here. | 15:12 |
| thesheff17 | thafreak: allot of people are using puppet now. | 15:13 |
| blackxored | any web meeting software or "go for asterisk anyways" will do it | 15:13 |
| thafreak | thanks thesheff17 | 15:14 |
| blackxored | thesheff17: there's also chef, which it's a personal preference because it's configuration is a ruby DSL ;) | 15:14 |
| thafreak | yeah, I shy away from ruby syntax :) my brain just doesn't grok it yet... | 15:14 |
| blackxored | thafreak: ok, then puppet yourself ;) | 15:15 |
| thesheff17 | yea I'm also a python guy so I haven't used chef or puppet | 15:15 |
| thesheff17 | puppet has its own syntax but is also ruby | 15:15 |
| thafreak | I remember seeing something about ubuntu server and cobbler...wasn't sure if something other than puppet was more "official" for ubuntu | 15:15 |
| thafreak | anyone know if there's articles on the official server wiki's for this area? | 15:16 |
| thafreak | like there is for postfix and ldap | 15:16 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: bug #731922 fixed :) Should build now though | 15:18 |
| uvirtbot | Launchpad bug 731922 in testdrive "testdrive's local uec-image testing broken" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/731922 | 15:18 |
| RoAkSoAx | thafreak: http://zulcss.wordpress.com/2011/01/19/using-cobbler-on-ubuntu/ | 15:18 |
| thafreak | is cobbler comparable to puppet, or does it try to solve a different set of problems | 15:19 |
| thafreak | i.e. is it apples to apples, or apples to oranges | 15:20 |
| RoAkSoAx | thafreak: puppet afaik is used for remote configuration management, while cobbler is a provision service (remote installation) | 15:20 |
| thafreak | ok...I thought they were slightly different...cobbler works with kickstart right? | 15:21 |
| RoAkSoAx | thafreak: yes | 15:21 |
| thafreak | so you'd probably use both cobler and puppet together then....cobler to get the initial install, then puppet to configure the server for specific tasks? | 15:22 |
| thafreak | Also, I found on the main wiki, it really only talks about puppet | 15:23 |
| RoAkSoAx | thafreak: correct cobbler + puppet | 15:23 |
| thafreak | so, I'm guessing that's got the most support...or atleast the most motivated wiki authors | 15:23 |
| RoAkSoAx | thafreak: wikipage link? | 15:23 |
| thafreak | https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/remote-administration.html | 15:26 |
| RoAkSoAx | thafreak: yes that's correct. cobbler has been included in the current development release of Ubuntu (Natty) that is due in a month | 15:27 |
| thafreak | Cool... | 15:28 |
| thafreak | speaking of natty, anything amazingly new on the virtualization front? | 15:28 |
| lool | Daviey: Is there another kernel I can swap in? | 15:30 |
| lool | Daviey: maybe -server, or -generic? | 15:30 |
| lool | Daviey: Will this "just work" with latest EBS images? | 15:30 |
| RoAkSoAx | thafreak: hallyn is your guy for those sorts of questions | 15:30 |
| thafreak | I'm setting up a new vm host...debating on going bleeding edge or staying back with lucid | 15:30 |
| blackxored | so anyone? | 15:30 |
| * lool tries linux-image-server | 15:30 | |
| blackxored | thafreak: lucid for vm hosts, even debian or centos ;) | 15:30 |
| thafreak | cool...thanks RoAkSoAx | 15:30 |
| blackxored | anyways | 15:31 |
| blackxored | noone has a clue about my web conference question? | 15:31 |
| RoAkSoAx | Daviey: howdy!! What do you think about separating the euca_admin tools into a different package? | 15:31 |
| thafreak | yeah...I'm using lucid at work for our vmhosts and I like it, but at home...I'm feeling a little dangerous | 15:31 |
| blackxored | thafreak: then go for xen in natty ;) I bet you wouldn't want to be dangerous in the rest of your life ;0 | 15:31 |
| thafreak | blackxored: what do you mean by web conference excatly...like phone conference room via a web browser? | 15:32 |
| thafreak | I already use xen on lenny/squeeze at other places...I really like that as well...I was looking for more like the new SPICE stuff...something new | 15:33 |
| blackxored | thafreak: for a little background, I told before I had an asterisk setup and softphones, and management broke the thing up, now they want something on a conference nature setup fast, so I was wondering which path to follow | 15:33 |
| thafreak | like conference calls via voip phones/conference room phones? | 15:33 |
| blackxored | thafreak: I'm building a lucid image for xen4 using xen-tools, but no clue on what to put on it yet | 15:34 |
| thafreak | I think asterisk is still technically king...and there are packages for ubuntu in the repos, but I've been meaning to try out freeswitch for a long time | 15:34 |
| blackxored | thafreak: assume so, the priorities are only "fast setup, multi-user conference support" | 15:34 |
| phoenixsampras | Help !! how to install ubuntu server on XEN CITRIX? | 15:34 |
| lool | Hmm the vm doesn't come up anymore :-( | 15:35 |
| blackxored | thafreak: had a bad time with asterisk from the repos, can't recall if it was ubuntu or debian, but defintely had nightmares about it | 15:35 |
| thafreak | well, I remember that freeswitch is technically superior...it was designed by former asterisk devs | 15:35 |
| thafreak | and it comes with conference room by default in the sample config...and it can do HD audio conference calls | 15:35 |
| blackxored | remember the priorities? what do you think? fast setup, multi-user conference | 15:35 |
| thafreak | Well, fast setup will depend on you really...for me, I'd probably end up going with asterisk, cause I know the syntax of the configs much better | 15:36 |
| thafreak | freeswitch may take me some time to figure out | 15:36 |
| blackxored | it's also my case | 15:37 |
| thafreak | I don't think I ever setup a conference room on asterisk though....I'm pretty sure it's there and possible, but I don't remember...been a while | 15:37 |
| thafreak | That and asterisk changes their config syntax every version or so...and I think they're up to 1.8 now | 15:38 |
| compdoc | asterisk wouldnt be the best way | 15:38 |
| compdoc | it makes a great phone system | 15:38 |
| thafreak | compdoc: you seem to be a former asterisk admin too :) what do you use these days? | 15:39 |
| compdoc | I use asterisk in a virtual machine for my own office/home | 15:39 |
| compdoc | I would think there would be something better for conferences - some sort of online social media kind of thing | 15:41 |
| thafreak | ah, I too have asterisk in a vm for the home office... | 15:42 |
| thafreak | i've had "figure out freeswitch" on my todo list for a few years now...I've just never had the time | 15:42 |
| thafreak | and things with xml configurations usually put me off (part of the reason I hate tomcat) | 15:43 |
| remix_tj | joeskil1: | 15:43 |
| remix_tj | what about the paste? | 15:44 |
| Daviey | lool, sorry, was AFK.. I don't think the tradional kernels are as xen friendly | 15:50 |
| Daviey | lool, you really need to talk to smoser or smb i think | 15:50 |
| rnigam | Hello everyone, I just did virsh undefine vm1 for a kvm guest vm1. How do I remove any images that might have been left behind? or does undefine command takes care of the image as well? Using Ubuntu MAverick - Server edition | 15:50 |
| Daviey | RoAkSoAx, well.... that was what i intiially suggested... but now thinking about it, is there any benefit? | 15:50 |
| lool | Daviey: Am I supposed to hang in -virt for this? | 15:50 |
| lool | Daviey: Or is this the right channel? | 15:50 |
| Daviey | lool, I think it's a lucky dip between -server or -cloud... we don't even know when to switch :) | 15:51 |
| Daviey | lool, smoser is away today.. smb might be the best person... i'll follow in -kernel :) | 15:52 |
| lool | thanks! | 15:53 |
| blackxored | BTW is asterisk from the repos working??? | 15:56 |
| DigitalFlux | Hi Guys | 16:00 |
| Disconnect | anyone know the debconf magic to cause it to write a new partition table to a blank disk during installation? I've already got http://pastebin.com/LuZ5J09c set but it still prompts. (it doesn't prompt to overwrite the existing, so a rebuild works, but on the initial blank disk I get the "write changes to disks?" prompt) | 16:00 |
| DigitalFlux | A quick question about ubuntu-vm-builder | 16:00 |
| ivoks | hm... vlan package should be installed by default | 16:00 |
| DigitalFlux | as far as i understand, when i use it to create a new kvm guest, it just downloads the distro image .. like say a lucid JeOS iso | 16:00 |
| DigitalFlux | does it do that everytime i create a new guest ? or this iso is stored somewhere ? | 16:01 |
| Disconnect | DigitalFlux: you don't understand very far :) it installs the individual packages from the repo each time. you probably want a local repo, or at least a caching proxy. | 16:01 |
| DigitalFlux | Disconnect: It creates the whole filesystem from packages ? | 16:02 |
| * Disconnect is migrating from the increasingly-broken ubuntu-vm-builder to foreman w/ netboot installs. (Try uvb on an lvm some time, it'll create all -sorts- of fun.) | 16:02 | |
| DigitalFlux | Disconnect: no "images" included ? | 16:02 |
| patdk-wk | that is what the *installer* does :) | 16:02 |
| patdk-wk | the cd is nothing more than a collection of packages | 16:02 |
| Disconnect | yah, what he said. thats the 'builder' part of "ubuntu-vm-builder" | 16:02 |
| * DigitalFlux should look carefully at the name of software releases from now on .. :) | 16:03 | |
| Disconnect | lol | 16:03 |
| DigitalFlux | Disconnect: foreman/puppet is super cool i know, i'm just experimenting with some of the kvm features .. | 16:04 |
| Disconnect | this isn't windows, you don't have to do a full hardware-specific install and then try to scrape the serial numbers off to make it 'generic' :) | 16:04 |
| DigitalFlux | Disconnect: so i wanted just a quick kvm installation .. | 16:04 |
| * patdk-wk does netboot installs also, they are the best :) | 16:04 | |
| DigitalFlux | OK OK guys, don't push me more to start a foreman installation :) | 16:04 |
| patdk-wk | I don't use foreman | 16:05 |
| Disconnect | yah it is pretty nice, it talks to libvirt to set up storage, talks to isc dhcpd/bind (UGH) to do netbooting and dns, then off it goes. fighting some issues but right now my problem is the automated part doesn't automate very well. (it won't write a new blank partition table w/o prompting) | 16:05 |
| patdk-wk | just pxe boot to the installer, and apt-cacher-ng :) | 16:05 |
| DigitalFlux | Did the foreman supported Ubuntu in the first place ? | 16:05 |
| DigitalFlux | or this is a new addition ? | 16:05 |
| RoAkSoAx | Daviey: yes... the euca_admin tools can be run from any hosts with the keys configured and I don;t think admins would like to install eucalyptus-common for just the tools | 16:05 |
| Disconnect | always has afaik. its just another os, foreman is all ruby and doesn't particularly care. (iirc they have support for ms dhcp/dns servers in the smart-proxy as well) | 16:05 |
| DigitalFlux | Disconnect: Oh, and where does cobbler fit in this scenario ? :) | 16:06 |
| DigitalFlux | Disconnect: for the partitioning/automated installation, it uses kickstart or preseed ? | 16:06 |
| Disconnect | no idea, last time i experimented with cobbler it was (ugh) centos about 5 years ago. it was .. damaged. (but then again, pretty much everything was at the time. it just had a sort of violent-tendencies damage that we eventually gave up on) | 16:06 |
| DigitalFlux | Disconnect: I think i faced this problem with kickstart before | 16:06 |
| Daviey | RoAkSoAx, Well that is true | 16:07 |
| DigitalFlux | Disconnect: cobbler seems to have made it to natty | 16:07 |
| Daviey | RoAkSoAx, I have no preference either way, if you want to do it - crack on. | 16:07 |
| Disconnect | good for them? | 16:07 |
| DigitalFlux | Disconnect: that kickstart problem is an unresolved bug till now AFAIK | 16:07 |
| Disconnect | i'm preseeding. | 16:07 |
| Daviey | RoAkSoAx, Might want to raise a bug, that it's bloating your system, just for wanting to use the python module etc | 16:07 |
| Disconnect | http://pastebin.com/LuZ5J09c | 16:07 |
| DigitalFlux | Disconnect: hmm, let me get you my totally no-human-intervention preseed config | 16:08 |
| Disconnect | does it work on zero'd disks? this one will work fine if i do a rebuild (existing partition table gets overwritten) | 16:09 |
| RoAkSoAx | Daviey: Given that the euca-* tools and the euca_admin module are now shipped in eucalyptus-common, we should just probably create a package called eucalyptus-admin-tools that include nboth the binaries and the pyton module, to not introduce 2 new pacakges, and just keep them in one | 16:09 |
| Daviey | RoAkSoAx, I agree with that. | 16:11 |

| ahayes | Hello. Anyone have some time/knowledge to help with a multipath (MPIO) boot issue? | 16:19 |
| pmatulis | !ask | ahayes | 16:21 |
| ubottu | ahayes: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 16:21 |
| ivoks | ahayes: what's the problem? | 16:21 |
| ahayes | I've been able to get Ubuntu server installed on a single default LVM partition schemed disk, and then install the multipath-tools and multi-path-tools-boot packages. But booting is now intermittent. I get dropped into the initramfs shell. | 16:21 |
| ivoks | it tells you why it dropped into busybox | 16:22 |
| ahayes | My initial goal was to have the server booting off a multipathed RAID-1 setup with a pair of drives, but I haven't figued that part out yet. | 16:22 |
| ivoks | did you read the message it printed? | 16:23 |
| ivoks | when it failed to boot | 16:23 |
| ahayes | Yes… It tells me it can't find the boot device. It suggests that the roo= is wrong, or the rootdelay= should be specified (longer I assume) | 16:23 |
| ahayes | er.. root= | 16:23 |
| ivoks | and for root= you have what? | 16:24 |
| phoenixsampras | how to setup a ubuntu cloud? lets say 3 servers? | 16:24 |
| ahayes | root is /dev/mapper/ellie-root where ellie is the hostname | 16:25 |
| ivoks | ahayes: so, did you check if it exists when you get dropped into busybox? | 16:25 |
| hallyn | yay - open-vm-dkms is now working | 16:26 |
| ahayes | Sorry… It was the first time I've ever *seen* busybox. I believe it was there, and pointed to /dev/dm-21 | 16:27 |
| Disconnect | (repeat) anyone know the debconf magic to cause it to write a new partition table to a blank disk during installation? I've already got http://pastebin.com/LuZ5J09c set but it still prompts. (it doesn't prompt to overwrite the existing, so a rebuild works, but on the initial blank disk I get the "write changes to disks?" prompt) | 16:27 |
| ahayes | when I eventually 'exit'ed busybox because I didn't know what to do, it then booted. | 16:27 |
| ahayes | So then I thought that maybe the rootdelay was worth exploring. | 16:28 |
| ahayes | Maybe it didn't have the device ready on its initial attempt. | 16:28 |
| ahayes | So I tried modifying /etc/default/grub to have GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rootdelay=90" | 16:29 |
| ahayes | But when I run update-grub, I get a "grub-probe: error: no such disk." | 16:30 |
| ahayes | So that's where I'm at now. | 16:31 |
| ahayes | Credit to Ubuntu team, I've never had a boot issue before, so I find myself with a steep curve. Multipath isn't helping. | 16:32 |
| ivoks | sorry, i have a situation here... bbl | 16:33 |
| ahayes | No worries. | 16:33 |

| ivoks | prove it's not random | 17:29 |
| ahayes | ivoks: Still getting a grub-probe error: no such disk. | 17:29 |
| ivoks | ahayes: in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, there's a line 'set root=' | 17:30 |
| patdk-wk | http://pastebin.com/65ttgfCe | 17:30 |
| ivoks | ahayes: is it /dev/sda? | 17:30 |
| patdk-wk | hehe :) | 17:30 |
| patdk-wk | it feel like a seed(time()) to me | 17:30 |
| patdk-wk | so unlikely to work where I want it, in a cron script | 17:31 |
| ahayes | ivoks: It's '(ellie-root)' | 17:31 |
| patdk-wk | ah, yep: the seed for the random numbers generator (default time(NULL)) | 17:31 |
| ahayes | ivoks: Well.. there are a few, others (for recovery?) are '(hd1,msdos1)' | 17:33 |
| ivoks | what is the multipath device name? | 17:33 |
| ahayes | Well… installing the multipath-tools-boot modified /etc/fstab to point to /dev/mapper/ellie-root | 17:34 |
| ahayes | ivoks: That is a link to /dev/dm-21 | 17:35 |
| Skaag | what virtualization solutions are working well with ubuntu server? | 17:35 |
| ivoks | ahayes: try grub-install /dev/dm-21 | 17:35 |
| Skaag | I mean as a host | 17:35 |
| ahayes | ivoks: /boot and / are separate on this system. Does that make a difference? | 17:37 |
| patdk-wk | hmm, when you boot, are you in grub 1.9 or grub 0.9? | 17:38 |
| patdk-wk | if your in 1.9, then that isn't the issue | 17:38 |
| ahayes | patdk-wk: grub-install -v reports 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 | 17:39 |
| patdk-wk | ahayes, that means nothing | 17:40 |
| patdk-wk | cause it's installed on your system, doesn't mean that is what is installed in the boot sector | 17:40 |
| ahayes | patdk-wk: This install is on a totally fresh system. Ubuntu 10.10 server cd is only one to touch it. | 17:40 |
| patdk-wk | I'm pretty sure it is, but :) | 17:40 |
| Skaag | can I check the ulimit of a process externally? | 17:40 |
| patdk-wk | ok, so grub-install won't fix the issue | 17:40 |
| patdk-wk | where is /boot located? | 17:40 |
| ahayes | more /fstab | 17:40 |
| ahayes | Oops… sec.. | 17:41 |
| ahayes | patdk-wk: /etc/fstab says UUID=big_long_string /boot | 17:42 |
| patdk-wk | and what does the uuid map to? | 17:42 |
| patdk-wk | blkid can help | 17:42 |

| hggdh | RoAkSoAx, so we mark it triaged, and open an upstream task | 17:58 |

| patdk-wk | the package is for lucid | 18:00 |

| patdk-wk | ya, no maverick package has been uploaded to that ppa yet | 18:01 |
| ivoks | ah... | 18:01 |
| cjwatson | I vaguely recall not being worried about keeping access to the machine for that because the maverick backport would be strictly simpler than the lucid one | 18:01 |
| cjwatson | I'll see what I can do ... | 18:02 |
| * ivoks thinks that ahayes is playing with us :) | 18:02 | |
| ahayes | cjwatson: When you talk about pre-seeds in that bug report, would that mean I could have it grab that version during install? | 18:02 |
| cjwatson | ahayes: yes, that's what they're for | 18:02 |
| cjwatson | the point of that is so that we can actually test the package before it's promoted to -updates :) | 18:02 |
| patdk-wk | you could force it on your version | 18:02 |
| cjwatson | patdk-wk: not a good plan | 18:02 |
| patdk-wk | if you download the deb | 18:02 |
| patdk-wk | probably not :) | 18:02 |
| ahayes | ivoks: I'm just amazed that all the relavant people for this issue are here and talking with me. :) | 18:03 |
| cjwatson | I really wouldn't recommend winding grub-pc's version backwards over that particular span of time | 18:03 |
| ivoks | you get that with microsoft support too :) | 18:03 |
| * RoAkSoAx off to lunch | 18:03 | |
| cjwatson | ahayes: I have another task I really ought to be concentrating on, but after that ... | 18:04 |
| ivoks | that was sarcasm | 18:04 |
| ahayes | Since you are here, here's what I was *trying* do do originally: Install onto a RAID-1 pair of disks on the other end of multipath. | 18:04 |
| patdk-wk | ivoks, I got that kind of support before, for exchange :) | 18:04 |
| ahayes | ivoks: I was thinking… microsoft has support?!? ;) | 18:04 |
| patdk-wk | not via ms though, a coworker worked with a former exchange developer :) | 18:04 |
| ahayes | cjwatson: No worries. Do you have a maverick multipath box to test/build on? You are welcome to connect into the one here. :) | 18:06 |
| cjwatson | ahayes: no, but IIRC as I say I decided I didn't need one; I'll get back to you if that turns out not to be the case | 18:07 |
| cjwatson | the bulk of the work for lucid was very very carefully backporting bits of device handling from maverick | 18:07 |
| cjwatson | and then applying a fairly small multipath fix on top of that | 18:07 |
| ahayes | Should I just run lucid? | 18:07 |
| cjwatson | nah, I'll get it fixed for maverick too | 18:07 |
| ahayes | Do you have any comments on installing on RAID-1 over multipath? | 18:08 |
| === dantalizing_ is now known as dantalizing | ||
| cjwatson | ahayes: not really, sorry, it's not my field | 18:10 |
| ahayes | If I install lucid with the preseed file, and boot the installer with disk-detect/multipath/enable=true, then create a couple RAID-1 devices out of /dev/mapper/mpath0 and 1? | 18:10 |
| ahayes | cjwatson: OK. No worries. | 18:10 |
| cjwatson | in theory that should work ... | 18:11 |
| cjwatson | if it doesn't, give me a shout I guess :-/ | 18:11 |
| ahayes | cjwatson: Your preseed file would let me get through the gub install as part of the lucid install. | 18:11 |
| cjwatson | right | 18:11 |
| ahayes | cjwatson: And would I still install multipath-tools and multipath-tools-boot afterwards? | 18:12 |
| cjwatson | I guess so | 18:12 |
| ahayes | cjwatson: OK. :) I will try and let you know how I fare. | 18:12 |
| cjwatson | actually, if you set that up as part of the installer, they should be installed for you | 18:13 |
| ahayes | cjwatson: What do you mean set up as part of installer? | 18:13 |
| ahayes | cjwatson: The boot options? | 18:13 |
| ivoks | ahayes: no | 18:13 |
| cjwatson | no, if you're partitioning multipath devices in the installer, it should know to install multipath-tools/-boot | 18:14 |
| ivoks | you ca preseed the installation | 18:14 |
| ivoks | and if you put that ppa into the preseed, then it will pull it in and install during the installation | 18:14 |
| ahayes | ivoks: You mean the ppa:cjwatson/grub will pull it in? | 18:16 |
| ivoks | ahayes: do you know what preseeding is? | 18:19 |
| ivoks | ahayes: you can automate whole or just part of installation process | 18:19 |
| ahayes | ivoks: No. Not really. I'm readin up on it now. | 18:19 |
| ivoks | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/grub2/+bug/687501/comments/13 is recipe for this ppa | 18:20 |

| ivoks | http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed | 18:20 |
| ivoks | it's much more than that | 18:20 |
| ahayes | ivoks: OK. I'm grabbing the 10.04.2 amd64 server iso right now. | 18:22 |
| ahayes | ivoks: I think I've seen the preseed bit in the installer before (expert install?) | 18:23 |
| ivoks | ahayes: from experience... preseeding will take some time before you master it :) | 18:23 |
| ahayes | ivoks: Ugh. :) | 18:23 |
| ivoks | once you create preseeding file | 18:24 |
| ivoks | you just add an option during the installation which will tell the installer where the file is (CD/floppy/HTTP...) | 18:24 |
| ivoks | by creating a file that has only stuff that cjwatson wrote in #13, you'll get what you want for this problem | 18:25 |
| ivoks | put it somewhere on the web server and append the preseed 'command' to the installer | 18:25 |
| ivoks | it's just a location where the file is located | 18:26 |
| ivoks | preseed/url=http://10.0.0.1/pressed.cfg | 18:26 |
| ivoks | next step is to remaster the installation CD so that it includes that file and 'command' by default :) | 18:27 |

| RoyK | last I touched a netware 3.12 server, it had an uptime of 4.5 years, only because they had had a power outage at the time it went down :P | 19:22 |
| ahayes | Am creating partitions on mpath0 and mpath1 | 19:22 |
| ahayes | RoyK: Yeah… they did run well in my experience too. | 19:23 |
| RoyK | ahayes: btw, it wasn't NetBIOS, that was Microsoft, NetWare used NCP | 19:25 |
| RoyK | IPX FTW! | 19:25 |
| * RoyK ducks for cover | 19:25 | |
| ahayes | RoyK: Stop. My brain can't handle the flashbacks. ;) | 19:26 |
| RoyK | lol | 19:26 |
| * RoyK can remember those SAP/RIP broadcasts bitching our precious hub-based 10Mbps network quite badly | 19:27 | |
| patdk-wk | heh | 19:28 |
| patdk-wk | I dunno how they can deal with that on cable modem networks | 19:28 |
| RoyK | cable modem networks have a wee issue there - ARP broadcasts on large domains can toast a bad router... | 19:29 |
| ahayes | Should /boot be ext2? | 19:29 |
| patdk-wk | doesn't need to be | 19:29 |
| RoyK | ahayes: ext2 is very safe for /boot | 19:29 |
| RoyK | but it doesn't matter, really | 19:29 |
| RoyK | you won't get the fancy ext[34] stuff you won't need :P | 19:30 |
| ahayes | I saw that it's what the auto-partiion did last time. Just wondered. | 19:30 |
| patdk-wk | grub2 works with ext4 | 19:30 |
| patdk-wk | but grub1 I think ext4 can sometimes confuse it (extents) | 19:30 |
| RoyK | patdk-wk: no need for journalling or extents on /boot, really | 19:30 |
| patdk-wk | royk, generally no, but is kind of nice for when your system is running | 19:31 |
| patdk-wk | if it does crash | 19:31 |
| patdk-wk | but a fsck of /boot is normally fast enough | 19:31 |
| RoyK | patdk-wk: /boot is hardly touched anyway | 19:31 |
| patdk-wk | hopefully :) | 19:31 |
| patdk-wk | mine seems to only crash when I'm touching /boot | 19:31 |
| RoyK | if so, I'd use ext3, less options that might fail, and better tested | 19:31 |
| ahayes | Here we go. Moment of truth. | 19:32 |
| RoyK | just use reiser4 for it all and live an interesting life..... | 19:32 |
| * RoyK prefers boredom to interesting times when it comes to having stable servers | 19:34 | |
| ahayes | Dum dee dum… just waiting for mkfs. | 19:36 |
| RoyK | ext4? | 19:37 |
| ahayes | Yes. | 19:37 |
| ahayes | For /boot and / | 19:37 |
| RoyK | ahayes: how many drives? | 19:37 |
| ahayes | 2 | 19:37 |
| RoyK | k | 19:37 |
| RoyK | any mirroring? | 19:37 |
| ahayes | Yes. 2 drives in Raid-1 | 19:37 |
| RoyK | sw or hw? | 19:37 |
| ahayes | sw | 19:38 |
| * RoyK likes this setup http://pastebin.com/GipEC95B | 19:39 | |
| ahayes | It's /boot / and swap on md0,md1, and md2, on top of mpath0 and mpath1 | 19:39 |
| RoyK | sorry, what's mpath? multipathing? | 19:40 |
| ahayes | Yes. | 19:40 |
| RoyK | erm - I don't get it - you're multipathing to two drives that are mirrored? | 19:41 |
| ahayes | It's all on a supermicro SC417 chassis with three LSI 9211-8i cards. | 19:41 |
| RoyK | how many physical drives? | 19:42 |
| ahayes | It's because the pair of drives are on the SAS backplane like all the others. So they are multipathed. | 19:42 |
| rnigam | Hi i just installed a kvm guest using vmbuilder. When I tried to do virsh start vm1 I get this error: Failed to start domain mav-vm1 | 19:42 |
| rnigam | error: operation failed: failed to retrieve chardev info in qemu with 'info c dev' | 19:42 |
| ahayes | I've got 12 in there now, but it will take 72 2.5" drives. | 19:42 |
| RoyK | ahayes: why aren't you using zfs for this? | 19:43 |
| RoyK | ahayes: it's _very_ much better than anything linux has | 19:43 |
| RoyK | that is, linux has fuse-based zfs, but it somewhat sucks in regards to write speed | 19:43 |
| ahayes | That was my first thought but OpenSolaris/Nexenta is in a bit of flux right now. | 19:44 |
| RoyK | we're on OpenIndiana with some 350TB on four boxes | 19:44 |
| ahayes | I wasn't confident that it would all work out in the long run. And meanwhile, btrfs is coming. | 19:44 |
| RoyK | btrfs has been coming for two years+ and they still don't have anything better than mirroring | 19:45 |
| RoyK | they're 5+ years behind ZFS | 19:45 |
| ahayes | And I like Ubuntu. Especially the lovely #ubuntu-server support. ;) | 19:45 |
| RoyK | ahayes: it's your choice, but without ZFS, you won't be able to detect 'silent errors', which are becoming a bigger problem every year | 19:46 |
| ivoks | RoyK: go to #we_depend_on_oracle's_technology :) | 19:46 |
| RoyK | ahayes: my advice is: Try OpenIndiana, please, I know it works. We're using it in production and have been for quite some time | 19:46 |
| RoyK | ivoks: openindiana is open - it's not controlled by oracle | 19:47 |
| ahayes | This smells like a battle… please… I'm just a lowly guy trying to run multipath. :) | 19:47 |
| ahayes | I'm still waiting to see if grub installs itself.... | 19:48 |
| RoyK | ahayes: sure, but I'm quite sure a Linux-based storage setup won't work remotely as well as a zfs-based one. If you're just in the test phase, please test something that can do ZFS natively | 19:49 |
| ivoks | zfs freeks :) | 19:49 |
| ahayes | Ugh…. Failed. | 19:50 |
| andol | ivoks: Well, once you get a taste of it... | 19:50 |
| ivoks | :) | 19:50 |
| ahayes | [!!] Configuring grub-pc - Unable to install GRUB in /dev/md0 - Executing 'grub-install /dev/md0' failed. This is a fatal error. | 19:51 |
| RoyK | ivoks: would you want to have 350TB on something that doesn't detect data errors, but rather just hope that the drives' CRC is sufficient? | 19:51 |
| ivoks | RoyK: relax | 19:51 |
| ivoks | i was just joking | 19:51 |
| * RoyK is quite calm :) | 19:52 | |
| ahayes | Hmm… I'm looking at logs. | 19:55 |
| ahayes | It says: Is device-mapper missing from kernel? | 19:56 |
| ahayes | And: /pro/devices: fopen failed: No such file or directory | 19:56 |
| RoyK | ahayes: /pro? | 19:58 |
| ahayes | sorry… /proc | 19:58 |
| RoyK | htf do you type …? | 19:59 |
| ahayes | I have to type it in. Can't cut&paste from IPMI console. | 20:00 |

| RoAkSoAx | Daviey: you still around? | 20:17 |
| hallyn | kirkland: are you still around | 20:17 |
| hallyn | kirkland: can you re-fire that qemu-kvm i386 build? I can't reproduce it on porter-i386. If it fails again I'll make it not use parallel build and that might help, but I'm hoping it was a transient gcc error. | 20:20 |
| Daviey | RoAkSoAx, ack | 20:32 |
| Daviey | hallyn, build re-queued | 20:33 |
| zul | Daviey: were you able to fix that ipmi problem? | 20:34 |
| Daviey | zul, think so | 20:35 |
| RoAkSoAx | Daviey: could take a look at bug #629234 and re-upload the lucid sru please? | 20:35 |

| zee313 | I hv downloaded googleearth from http://www.google.com/earth/download/thanks.html#os=linux#linux_dl=deb_32 | 21:01 |

| a_girl | can you get in the downloaded file? | 21:02 |
| zee313 | plz solve my problem | 21:02 |
| zee313 | yes | 21:02 |
| enquora | can anyone tell me why map_static is reported as an invalid keyword in my nfs exports file? | 21:03 |
| ScottK | !ask | a_girl | 21:03 |
| ubottu | a_girl: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:03 |
| Patrickdk | strange flood of people | 21:03 |
| ScottK | zee313: Since that pacakge isn't part of Ubuntu, you're probably better off asking the providers of the package for help. | 21:03 |
| a_girl | ScottK: it's more than one question and I'd like to know someone has an hour+ to help me through this | 21:03 |
| ScottK | a_girl: Probably no one has that kind of time to dedicate to you, but if you start asking your questions, the odds are reasonable that someone will have time for most of them if you are patient. | 21:04 |
| lacaferreira | My Squid performs block msn according to the user account, authorized users accessed normally from both a time for another authorized users started receiving the error when trying to login 800488eb. anyone have any idea? | 21:05 |
| a_girl | I've just installed 10.10 with webserver enabled and openssh enabled, but had no connection where it was in the house, so I didn't set up DHCP or internet. I moved it to there there is internet but there's no room for plugs/periferials so I need to access it remotely | 21:05 |
| a_girl | from there, I think I have it | 21:06 |
| a_girl | ScottK: how's that? | 21:06 |
| Patrickdk | doesn't explain much at all, but | 21:06 |
| Patrickdk | did you give it an ip address? | 21:06 |
| a_girl | I did not set it to an ipaddress | 21:07 |
| Patrickdk | if it's not set for dhcp, and doesn't have a static ip, there will be no way to access it | 21:07 |
| ScottK | a_girl: I think the default is to dhcp, so if you've installed ssh server you should be able to boot it with a network connection and just ssh in. | 21:07 |
| a_girl | I tried to ssh into it, but the connection times out. | 21:08 |
| hallyn | kim0: I'm not ignoring you btw, just got spice 0.8.0 package built locally, doing qemu next, then ill push to ppa if it all works | 21:08 |

| Patrickdk | just two lines needed | 21:16 |
| Patrickdk | strange, no dhcp example | 21:16 |

| === jjohansen is now known as jj-afk | ||
| Daviey | hallyn, you are proposing 2011.02.23-368700-0ubuntu1 right? | 22:51 |
| hallyn | yes | 22:52 |
| Daviey | hallyn, well Debian has 1:8.4.2-261024-1 .... the 1: is the epoch, and that trumps yours which is an implied 0: | 22:52 |
| Daviey | so even if yours gets uploaded as is, it's technically a lower version than Debian's current | 22:53 |
| Daviey | even tho yours is a newer upstream version :) | 22:53 |

| Daviey | hallyn, Yes... I'm saying that there is no fear of us getting too far ahead of Debian, meaning we either need to fudge the verison or maintain our own stuff till the end of dawn | 23:05 |
| Daviey | hallyn, We can sync next cycle if/when they caught up. | 23:05 |
| Daviey | hallyn, I think you need to reference that it is a newer version than the one in Debian, incase some does a drive by merge / sync next cycle. | 23:06 |
| Daviey | hallyn, But I think it is /reasonable/ to raise a FFe, with some ambiguity about what the features of new version snapshot - stating you have spent significant time trying to bisect a fix, and the current one is totally unusable. | 23:07 |
