rnigamHello Everyone please look at this thread and help me out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10542465#post1054246500:38
hallynkim0: packages built in ppa00:52
* hallyn out00:53
thesheff17_rnigam: I just ran your vmbuilder command on my machine...it worked with no problems....it looks like it is isolated to maverick.00:54
thesheff17_I would suggest putting the debug level really high for libvirt or using lucid.00:55
thesheff17_I can't find anything on the web that has that same error.00:55
rnigamtthanks thesheff1701:00
rnigamthesheff17: could you do a virsh --version on your machine and tell me which version of virsh and libvirtd is running01:03
thesheff17_rnigam: I built maverick w/ lucid as the underlying os....so strange that doesn't work for you on 10.10  my version is: 0.7.501:03
rnigamthsheff17: I see. how can i change the debug level? and how will that help?01:06
thesheff17_rnigam: first check out /var/log/libvirt/qemu/vmName.log and see if there is anything else in there that will give you more info about virsh start not working01:07
thesheff17_rnigam: /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf contains the log level stuff.01:08
thesheff17_rnigam: I'm just shocked that no one else has that error...usually google gives me the answer pretty quickly...maybe the debug level will give you/us more insight into what is wrong.01:09
rnigamthesheff17: qemu: could not open disk image /root/vmimages/mav-vm2/ubuntu-kvm/tmpBYvUD4.qcow2: Permission denied01:14
rnigamthis is from the logs01:15
thesheff17_rnigam: can you paste your xml01:15
thesheff17_pastebin the xml from /etc/libvirt/qemu/vmName.xml01:15
thesheff17_rnigam: are you using an SELinux kernel?...just looking on google for some fixes.. what does ls -la   /root/vmimages/mav-vm2/ubuntu-kvm/tmpBYvUD4.qcow2 say...is that file even there?01:20
rnigamthesheff17: heres the xml :  http://paste.ubuntu.com/578124/01:21
thesheff17_rnigam: looks good.... you are using virsh start as root correct?01:23
rnigamyup01:23
rnigamand yes thatmfile is present there.01:24
rnigamactually that file gets created when i run the vmbuilder command01:25
rnigamthe qcow2 disk file01:25
thesheff17_rnigam: right I just wanted to make sure it is getting created correctly...my permissions on my files is -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1238958080 2011-03-05 13:30 /mnt/vm/vm021/ubuntu-kvm/tmpqyXQXh.qcow201:25
thesheff17_does yours match that?01:26
rnigam-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 627376128 2011-03-09 14:20 tmpBYvUD4.qcow201:28
thesheff17_/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf contains username to run the service as...can you check that this is root.01:29
rnigamyou mean the userid variable?01:31
thesheff17_I have user = "root" and group = "root"01:32
rnigameverything in that file is commented out and hence default values are being used. I am not sure what defaults are. LEt me make those changes in mine and try again ! it might take some time to get back.01:32
rnigamare there any other flags in that file turned on for you?01:33
thesheff17_rnigam: yea yours might be a little...since mine in lucid.01:33
thesheff17_different01:33
rnigamother than user and group?01:33
thesheff17_rnigam: that is the only thing that isn't commented out in that file...you aren't running SELinux kernel are you?01:34
rnigamnope01:35
rnigamno se linux01:35
thesheff17_rnigam: ok...not sure what it could be...permission denied should not happen if you running it as root.01:37
thesheff17_rnigam: to just test try just doing chown 777 filename and see if it will start.01:37
rnigamya i am recreating a vm again to check if anything changes after changing those options !01:38
rnigamthesheff17: In case i forget, thanks so much for all the help.01:43
thesheff17_rnigam: np....I know how hard it is to find help for virsh/kvm sometimes.01:44
thesheff17_rnigam: not that I have helped much :)01:44
rnigamthesheff17- Great news.. you helped me enough02:00
rnigamit works02:00
rnigamturns out those two variables needed to be set in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf02:01
thesheff17_rnigam: excellent02:01
thesheff17_rnigam: I'm on vacation next week but if that is the default problem you/I should file a bug for it.02:02
rnigamman... I thought this was the easiest part. Yes we must file a bug02:02
rnigamtheres another bug that we need to file... or rather a request for a patch02:03
rnigamwhen we undefine an image... it doesnt remove the qcow2 files and doesnt free other resources.02:04
rnigamit would be great if we can achieve that with undefine rather than doing manually !02:04
rnigamthesheff17: what do you think about the request? please comment !02:05
thesheff17_rnigam: I would love that as well02:12
thesheff17_rnigam: my python script does it for me...basically just have a huge wrapper around vmbuilder & virsh.02:12
rnigamya02:13

Roxyhart0somebody know how to upgrade samba in ubuntu? i tried with apt-get upgrade samba but is doesn work03:57
EvilPhoenixRoxyhart0:  define "upgrade" because the repositories are not always cutting-edge up to date04:01
Roxyhart0i have samba 3.4.5 and I want to upgrade to 3.5.x04:02
Roxyhart0as I am having problems with windows 7 clients and aparently samba 3.5.x solve it04:02
EvilPhoenixwhich version of ubuntu server?04:03
EvilPhoenix10.04? 10.10?04:03
EvilPhoenixOLDER?04:03
Roxyhart0not 9.1004:03
EvilPhoenixdidnt say 9.1004:04
EvilPhoenixi said 10.1004:04
Roxyhart0but i read the version 10.04 still come with samba 3.4.504:04
EvilPhoenix10.04 has samba 3.4.7 on it from what I can tell04:04
EvilPhoenixlemme check my 10.10 system04:04
EvilPhoenix10.10 has samba 3.5.4 on it04:05
EvilPhoenixis upgrading your distribution an option?04:05
Roxyhart0maybe, but is could be risky as I am running file server here...04:06
Roxyhart0also I am not sure if 10.10 has so much bugs?04:07
EvilPhoenixI cant vouch for it as i stick with LTS releases (and never use samba)04:08
EvilPhoenixalthough FYI, you should always keep backups even when you arent upgrading your system04:08
patdk-lapI guess samba isn't in backports?04:08
EvilPhoenixpatdk-lap:  didnt see it in there04:09
EvilPhoenixand out of curiosity... patdk-lap, do you support the use of backports updates in a production system?04:10
EvilPhoenixs/system/environment/04:10
patdk-laproxyart0, you do know you have like only a month left before 9.10 is dead?04:10
EvilPhoenixoh that too04:10
patdk-lapEvilPhoenix, depends04:10
patdk-lapsome things yes, most things no04:10
patdk-lapbut for something like that, I would just download samba from backports and install04:11
EvilPhoenixRoxyhart0:  you should probably consider upgrading anyways, what're you using right now, 9.10?  you should definitely upgrade the distro (MAKE BACKUPS FIRST) because its going to die very soon (end of life)04:11
Roxyhart0yes i need to do...but what is the version supported, is not 10.04?04:12
patdk-lap10.04 will be supported for 4more years04:12
EvilPhoenixthe version that has 3.5.x samba is 10.1004:12
patdk-lap10.10 will be for another year04:12
EvilPhoenixits also supported (and recent, as well as stable from what I can tell)04:12
patdk-lapmost of my samba servers are 10.0404:13
Roxyhart0well I will try to update at least to 10.0404:13
patdk-lapone is still 8.0404:13
EvilPhoenixRoxyhart0:  FYI, 3.4.7 is whats in the 10.04 repositories04:13
Roxyhart0but i know there are someway to install samba 3.5.x in 10.04 ...but i dont know the procedure04:13
EvilPhoenixRoxyhart0:  to get 3.5.x, you'll need 10.10, as I dont see 3.5.x in the repos (including backports)04:13
patdk-lapwhat about 3.4 doesn't support win7?04:13
EvilPhoenixRoxyhart0:  possibly compiling from SOURCE04:13
EvilPhoenixwhich is a pita04:13
patdk-lapI haven't had any issues with windows 7 and my samba's04:13
Roxyhart0i didn time ago samba 3.4.5 for ubuntu 9.0404:14
EvilPhoenixRoxyhart0:  but i'll betcha patdk-lap knows more about samba than i do, you should talk to him04:14
Roxyhart0but i dont remeber how04:14
Roxyhart0patdk, what version of samba and ubuntu do you have?04:15
patdk-lapRoxyhart0, ask something I didn't just answer04:15
Roxyhart0you said about your ubuntu verison, but what is the match with your samba versions and are all of them working with windows clients for printing? as my problems is sharing printers04:19
patdk-lapmy samba version is whatever is in ubuntu 10.0404:19
patdk-lapand I haven't had an issue printing04:19
patdk-lapthe wife and me both used a printer via samba in win704:20
patdk-lapat work, I use a win2003 machine for a print server04:21

lnx-usrAny kvm virtualisation guru's in here?10:00
Jeeves_Guru is a big word :)10:01
lnx-usronly 4 letters.....10:02
lnx-usrAnyway, I've been wanting to give spice a try10:02
lnx-usrIs there an easy way of doing this on ubuntu10:02
twbI'm not sure simulation of electrical circuitry is what people normally mean by "virtualization"10:03
lnx-usr@twb SPICE is a "new" high end remote protocol designed to work with kvm virtual geust systems10:04
lnx-usr2d acceleration and stuff like that10:04
lnx-usrIt's really good, i've tested it about 2 years ago and it was working great then.10:05
lnx-usrso I'm not talking about spice-ng10:05
lnx-usr;-)10:05
twb"2d acceleration"?  As in, a GUI?10:05
lnx-usrhttp://spice-space.org/10:05
lnx-usrHardware assisted 2d playback10:06
twbLame10:06
twbVMs shouldn't have a GUI any more than the dom0 should10:06
lnx-usrtwb are you really going to asume you know every use case?10:06
twbOnly the important ones10:07
lnx-usrSPICE is mostly designed to host virtual desktops10:07
twbdesktops are lame, too10:07
lnx-usrHigh performance 2d graphics using a remote protocol10:07
soren*chuckle*10:07
twbDunno what's wrong with NX-compressed X1110:08
lnx-usrA lot10:08
lnx-usrIt's an "in guest" protocol10:08
lnx-usrthat means it's a service running inside the guest10:08
twbSo what you're saying is that your VMs are not only GUIs, but they're not unix GUIs10:09
pnunnlnx-usr: sounds intersting.. we use KVM here for servers, but are looking at pushing into desktops..10:09
lnx-usrNo thats not what I'm saying, allthough it's true... ;-)10:09
twbIs bind9 still best practice for hosting ones domains?10:10
twbI'm going through the debtags list and stuff like maradns sounds interesting10:10
lnx-usrAnyway, I'm implementing Desktop virtualisation systems based on vmware view a lot10:10
lnx-usrI'd like to be able to give my customers the choice of using ubuntu, kvm with spice10:11
twbvmware can FOAD.  I wasted the best part of a week trying to make SCO4 work with it.10:11
lnx-usrI can't right now10:11
lnx-usrWhat vmware system?10:11
pnunnlnx-usr: be interested to hear how you go with this. Doesn't seem to be much in the way of software on the link you gave.10:12
twbUnforunately, it was vmware-server.  We weren't confindent esxi could be tricked into working with our existing backup infrastructure.10:12
twbs/backup/DR/10:12
lnx-usrWhy would you use SCO  anyway10:12
twblnx-usr: because the shitty ERP system was written for it twenty years ago10:13
lnx-usrVMware server is not the way to go10:13
twbIt's like saying "why are banks still using AIX"10:13
lnx-usrKind of like saying "why use desktops..."10:13
twbYeah10:14
lnx-usrlol10:14
twbCustomers should FOAD, too10:14
lnx-usrAnyway, what does your backup system look like10:14
lnx-usrend users should FOAD.....10:14
twbIt's basically cron, ssh, lvcreate --snapshot and rsync10:15
lnx-usrAh10:15
lnx-usrThat wont work on vmware esxi10:15
twbNot without buggerizing around with undocumented vmware calls10:15
lnx-usrWhere are the vmdk's stored?10:16
lnx-usriscsi?10:16
twbin the dom010:16
twbesxi is just a broken linux dom010:16
lnx-usrNope, esxi is not linux10:16
lnx-usresxi has it's own kernel10:17
twb"Up through the current ESX version 4.1, a Linux kernel is started first,^[5] and is used to load a variety of specialized virtualization components, including VMware's 'vmkernel' component."10:17
joschitwb: esx != esxi10:17
lnx-usrAlmost no linux userspace anymore10:17
lnx-usrAs I understand you are not using central storage10:17
twbThey only have ten users10:18
twbThe server is the centralized storage10:18
joschitwb: esx is (was) a rhel based hypervisor. esxi doesn't run the linux kernel anymore10:18
lnx-usrIt's like saying Netware is DOS because dos is booted first10:18
twbjoschi: hum, I thought the only difference was esxi's dom0 didn't have a shitty GUI10:18
lnx-usrOnly the console system was based on Linux10:19
lnx-usrThis made it easier for vmware to implement userspace stuff10:19
joschitwb: no, they actually strapped the linux parts away10:19
lnx-usrNow most things moved to vmkernel space10:19
lnx-usrMy advice would be this: Use vmware esxi, use SAN storage (even if it is something like Nexenta, ubuntu with iscsi target or freenas), mount the vmware vmfs filesystem via iscsi on your backup server and backup from there10:21
twbThat sounds way too "enterprisey" to me10:22
lnx-usrok10:22
lnx-usrthen use esxi with the vma10:23
twbWhere "enterprisey" means "expensive and crap"10:23
lnx-usrOr move to KVM, headless Virtualbox or Xen. But please don't use vmware server10:23
twbvmware-server doesn't work on 10.04 anyway10:23
twbI can't remember why, I think it was a problem with the NIC going spastic10:23
lnx-usrVMware server is the crappiest product vmware ever made10:23
=== zul_ is now known as zul
twbI'd have used kvm but it makes sco koops10:24
lnx-usrI use ESXi, vsphere and workstation on a daily basis. And I mostly like them.10:24
twbYeha but you also like GUIs10:24
lnx-usrYeah, I also use KVM quite  a bit, never liked xen tough10:25
twbI like kvm and lxc best10:26
twbBy 12.04 LXC will be kickass10:26
lnx-usrlol10:26
twbMaybe LCR will even be ready10:26
lnx-usrLCR?10:27
lnx-usrnew to me10:27
twbMaybe it's CXR10:27
lnx-usrsorry, they must not have a gui yet10:27
twbLinux Checkpoint/Restart10:27
twbAllows you to suspend and resume arbitrary processes/process groups, maybe move them between hosts10:27
lnx-usrMust be a stupid project, I don't see screenshots..... ;-)10:28
lnx-usrKind of like "live migration for applications"10:29
twbyeah10:29
lnx-usrSounds awesomely cloudy googly like10:29
twbWikipedia actually directed me to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_checkpointing10:29
twbBut for LXC, it would mean the ability to migrate domUs between hosts (and suspend them prior to restarting the dom0) without needing to emulate a full computer (a la kvm)10:33
lnx-usrless overhead is always better.10:33
twbLXC is about as efficient as a chroot10:34
twbBut it's a lot leakier than kvm at the moment10:34
twbNeeds more work in the kernel10:34
lnx-usrbtw TWB, if I where you I'd look into using ESXi with the "Vmware vSphere 4.1 command line interface"10:35
lnx-usrIt's a commandline interface you can install on a linux system and use it to script esxi10:35
twbMeh10:36
twbI'm not really interested in vmware until they start using copyleft licenses10:36
lnx-usrOk10:36
lnx-usrWell I guest I'm going to have to build SPICE myself10:37
twbckpt.wiki.kernel.org is what I was thinking of10:37
lnx-usrYeah I found that to10:38
lnx-usrI'm going to eat now10:38
lnx-usrNice talking to you10:38
twbLXC and Linux-CR are lightweight enough that I expect e.g. a smartphone to put each "app" in its own container, and to suspend/resume them individually.10:51

kim0- win7 seems to work well with vnc12:42
kim0- once installed qxl drivers, windows seemed to have become a bit unstable (crashed a couple of times)!12:43
kim0- I cannot connect using spicec at all "Warning: Invalid mode"12:43
kim0- I just found out about http://www.spice-space.org/download/gtk/ .. a gtk client, unsure how it compares to spicec!12:44
kim0hallyn: that's all, if that client is the official or better one, perhaps if you can build it, I'll try connecting with it as well12:44
\shhmm...how do we attack the problem that authbind (which is used by tomcat6) still doesn't support ipv6? eventually this patch could help us here: http://toroid.org/ams/etc/authbind-ipv6-support12:55
kim0hallyn: someone on #kvm mentioned to check this patch http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg50244.html13:01

hallyndunno13:31
hallynis that what people said to use?13:32
kim0well people are not too responsive13:32
hallynok.  i *was* going to build spice-qemu as a separate package today.  Do you think testing the new client is more urgent?13:32
kim0hallyn: I think so yeah, since currently spicec is not connecting at all13:33
hallynok13:33
kim0at least in my case13:33
hallyngot some unrelated testing to do, but I'll go retest my current packages right now, and then try out that new client.  bbl13:33

Ryan_LaneI'm trying to make an apparmor policy for memcached, and memcached fails to start because setrlimit is restricted. I can't seem to find a way to allow the process to use setrlimit unrestricted. is this possible?18:06
Ryan_Laneit looks like I can enforce a stricter rlimit only18:06
Ryan_Lanespecifically, apparmor is denying setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, {rlim_cur=20000, rlim_max=20000})18:10
jdstrandjjohansen: ^18:14
jjohansenRyan_Lane: if the profile has a rule setting the rlimit, then it becomes controlled, and the task can only change the rlimit to a value <= what is specified in the profile18:15
zulSpamapS: need a little help?18:15
jjohansenRyan_Lane: if you want to allow the task to change its rlimit, you can raise the value in the profile, and or remove the "set rlimit" rule, and reload the profile18:17
Ryan_Lanethe profile doesn't have it set18:17
Ryan_Lanemaybe base or nameservice does...18:17

RoAkSoAxSpamapS: good louck18:18
RoAkSoAxluck*18:18
jjohansenRyan_Lane: hrmm, you shouldn't be getting a reject message from apparmor unless the profile has it set some where.  It doesn't mediate rlimits unless they are specifically set (or there is a bug)18:19
Ryan_Lanememcached fails to set the ulimit when its profile is enabled, and doesn't fail when it is disabled18:20
jjohansenRyan_Lane: can you see if apparmor_parser -p </path/to/profile> dumps output?18:20
jjohansenRyan_Lane: -p is used to dump the profile after include processing etc, so you get a flattened profile18:21
Ryan_Lanejjohansen: apparmor_parser: invalid option -- 'p'18:21

oneseventeenI'm trying to set up a MySQL server to be connected to remotely, I've set it to bind-to the correct IP but still am not allowed to connect remotely.21:07
oneseventeenI'm assuming this is a user permissions thing, but wanted to double check if there was something else that was common21:07
thesheff17_oneseventeen: you want to make sure your comment out #bind-address           = 127.0.0.121:10
thesheff17_oneseventeen: then you have to create a remote user GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'monty'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass' WITH GRANT OPTION; % means the user can connect from anywhere.21:11
hallynRoAkSoAx: mind you it is possible that the bios simply works with ide as backup and not with virtio.  But your cmdline still seems weird - can you try with if=virtio,index=0 in the last bit?21:11

dravekxi have a phpbb forum. When an admin adds a module from inside phpbb, the ownership is set to user:user instead of user:www-data. how do i fix that?21:27
ivoksthat sounds like a correct behavior21:31
ivoksand you can't make user to change permissions to a group he's not part of21:32
Guest98139or is there a command line client for 'direct connect' aka dc++?21:32
ivoksand you really don't want www-data to own any .php file on your server21:32
dravekxivoks, /var/www is user:www-data. When I copy files and folders via SFTP it also defaults them to user:user. Is that normal?21:34
ivoksdravekx: of course21:35
ivokswww-data shouldn't be owner of any page21:35
ivoksif you give rw permissions to www-data user on, let's say, joomla, you can be sure that your page will get defaced21:36
ivokswww-data runs apache service21:36
ivoksthat user should only have read permissions on files in your web page21:36
ivoksexcept for the files that people upload21:36
ivokssmart CMS systems don't upload files over HTTP; they usually provide FTP/SFTP option for uploading21:37
ivoksgreat example is wordpress or joomla21:37
ivokseven drupal supports upload over FTP21:37
dravekxivoks, ahhh. :) thx.21:37
ivoksdirectorires that www-data usually has rw permissions are something like cache and temporary21:38
ivoksdon't ever give www-data rw permissions on your page21:39
ivoksi can't stress that enough :)21:39
ivoksand if you have multiple clients on your server, always chroot them21:40
dravekxivoks, so secure-wise, it should be root:root or user:user almost always.21:40
ivoksyes21:40
ivokswith read permission for other users21:40
ivoksthat way a security hole in your web application won't allow attacker to overwrite php files21:41
ivoksdownside is that your configuration file, that containes database connection configuration, will be readable by anyone21:42
ivoksthat's why you should chroot your users :)21:42
ivoksno, making that file owned by www-data is not good idea; i've seen joomla websites defaced cause the attacker was able to write into that file :)21:43
ivoksbest approach would be fcgid21:44
ivoksok, that's it... good night ;)21:44
