hallynin an SRU-friendly way00:08
hallynfor natty there would have been no way (so good thing we got it in), but hopefully lucid's kernel hasn't changed too much00:08

mr_orangeim trying to install a gui for my server but it tells me that it is unable to locate the package. Can someone tell me how I can fix this?02:27
patdk-nbtwb, I think google just uses that to verify you are the owner02:29
patdk-nbcause only the owner can change dns02:29
twbSo they're reinvented DNSSEC?02:29
twbAlso, presumably that hash is *not* a shared secret?02:30

Roxyhart0hi there, sombody know why dhcp3-server doesn't start at boot time? is there any bug?07:16
cmdbbqhello, i am setting up a server from the commandline (there will be no GUI) over ssh and I have some questions about adding a user. I ran adduser myusername and set a password with passwd then logged in as that user, but it complained of no home directory. so i logged back in as root and created a home directory /home/myuser and set myuser as the owner with chown. now when I log in i am presented with just a $, preceded by no text a07:28
Roxyhart0ther is someconfiguration that you indicate which kind of shell or c shell the user is going to use. I think it is correct that you are seen07:30
twbdid you use "adduser" or "useradd"?07:33
cmdbbqah yes, my mistake, useradd07:34
twbDo not use useradd, for this reason07:34
twbuseradd is a low-level command; adduser is a high-level command that creates /home and everything else it should do.07:34
cmdbbqok, should i delete the user/directory and use adduser to recreate or will this create conflicts?07:35
twbRecommend you deluser fred, delete the home dir, and then adduser fred.07:35
twbIf it was me I might clean it up by hand, but it's not worth talking you through it07:35
cmdbbqok cool thank you very much :)07:35
twbThe reason your shell was $ was because 1) you didn't get the dotfiles from /etc/skel, and 2) your shell was probably /bin/sh not /bin/bash.  Using adduser will fix both.07:36
cmdbbqtwb: everything works as expected now, I appreciate the education07:37
twbNo problem07:38

Davieyjamespage: yeah, i saw the comment on the bug report.. Have you integrated it, and some mild testing?09:53
jamespageDaviey: yes - it passed my simple 'Hello World' wsgi test case for both python 3.1 and 3.2 versions09:53
jamespageDaviey: want me to propose it?09:54
jamespageDaviey: and feel free to give brutal feedback on my conditional patch application in debian/rules :-)09:54

Davieyjamespage, whilst i look at that, have you seen bug 745946 in any of the recent jenkins tests?09:57

jamespageDaviey: those two instances where seen during beta-1 I think09:59
Davieyjamespage, If smoser agrees, might mark it fix released later.. It could have been infrastructure breakage rather than platform.10:01
Davieyjamespage, What makes you think the patch might be incompatible with mod_python?10:02
jamespageDaviey: thats what Graham from upstream indicated; description on patch is based on his comments10:03
jamespagesomething todo with threading and mod_python not following the rules :-)10:03
Davieyah10:05
jamespageDaviey: Does it look OK to you?10:19
Davieyjamespage, well - i have a feeling that you can't call it source format 3.0 (quilt) with that.10:20
Davieyjust trying to check.10:20
jamespageDaviey: ack - thanks for your help :-)10:20
Davieyjamespage, it seems functional!  And nicely done... just trying to check somthing10:21
Davieyjamespage, I've not had to have condtional patches before since the new world order of 3.0 (quilt).10:21
Davieythe problem is, dpkg-source -x, doesn't give you what will necessarily build.  It's a convention that with 3.0 (quilt) that is the case.10:22
Davieyjamespage, Half balancing 'getting it done' and the other half wondering if the patch should contain the condition.10:22
Davieyjamespage, hmm, has the patch author already done that?10:25
Davieyjamespage, usage of #if PY_MAJOR_VERSION == 3 && PY_MINOR_VERSION >= 2 ?10:26
Davieyie, if python = 3.2:10:26
jamespageDaviey: well there is some conditional code for 3.210:26
jamespageDaviey: I would be more concerned where there is no condition for 3.2 on code - I think that is where the problems might lie.10:27
Davieyjamespage, yeah... i just wondered if that was /safe/ code that didn't need conditioning10:29
Davieyjamespage, http://pb.daviey.com/Im3W/ - probably easier to view!10:29
Davieylines starting, 18? DaveWal - is the new patch10:30

SpamapSthe problem is poorly defined in the description.. I wrote that a while back and forgot the details19:11
ivokswell, it's not:19:12

jbernardi say if it works to your satisfaction, then lets try to get it into natty. It's certainly loads better than the current version20:29
hallynso with those changes the package is good for me20:29
hallynjbernard: yup, works for me, let's do it20:29
hallynthat is, the package works for me, let's try to get it into natty :)20:30
jbernardawesome20:30
hallynmaybe we should ask for more guinea pigs:20:30
hallynhi all, does anyone here use libcgroup?20:30
hallynjbernard: is there an open bug for the security issue?20:34
jbernardbts or lp?20:35
hallynjbernard: or, did we decide you can just dput bc you're in universe?20:35
hallynlp20:35
hallynto tie the bzr tree to20:35
jbernardi have not seen an lp one20:35
hallynwell, let me know if you need anything from me20:35
rizzuh_laptopI have a Lucid VM that is configured only with root, sudo is installed but apparently there's go group to it. How do I configure it and allow a user to use sudo, so I can disable root?20:36
jbernardhallyn: i will need someone to upload, i don't have that ability20:36
hallynjbernard: oh, hey, i may actually have those20:37
jbernard;)20:38
hallynjbernard: though it wouldn't hurt to have someone else look at it (who wasn't part of writing it)20:38
hallynin fact,20:38
hallynmaybe SpamapS would be a good one -20:38
hallyngiven the upstartification20:38
jbernardi do agree20:38

hggdhTeTeT: ping20:50
TeTeThggdh: hi, how can I help?20:50
hggdhTeTeT: this is about the bug you folks opened -- 765275 -- the interface capture shows errors and RSTs flowing20:51
hggdhTeTeT: errors == ICMP dest unreachable20:51
TeTeThggdh: very confusing - how can there be a dest unreachable, the redirect on the clc worked just fine. We sort of thought another cloud install would interfere with ours20:52
TeTeThggdh: as the labs equipment has been used for different clouds already20:52
TeTeThggdh: to be honest we gave up on this for now and just went with plain kvm - but if you have a good idea I can give it a test20:53
hggdhTeTeT: I am not sure yet. But -- for example -- there is a TCP/IP open against 169.254.169.254:80, and this is immediately replied with a RST20:54
hggdhTeTeT: packet 1367-1368 in the capture20:54
TeTeThggdh: yeah, it looked to us like some other host would reply?20:54
hggdhit might, even (if there is another one with the same IP, which would be bad in a different way)20:55
rrigginanyone know why my domain name is automatically getting added at the end of anything I request? For example nslookup www.google.com actually tries www.google.com.domain-name.com20:55
TeTeThggdh: wouldn't the instance be having the front-end as router and thus reaching the right metadata service20:55
hggdhbut the point is something/someone sent a RST on the line20:55
hggdhyes20:56
TeTeTrriggin: take a look at /etc/resolv.conf20:56
TeTeThggdh: we used 'sudo tcpdump port 80' and nothing wsa seen from the front-end20:56
TeTeThggdh: same as with 877320:57
hggdhjoy, joy, there we go again... now on tornado watch, probably soon to tornado warning :-(20:57
TeTeThggdh: good luck!20:57
rrigginresolv.conf shows an entry for "nameserver 127.0.0.1" and and enty below it for "search domain.com"20:57
hggdhTeTeT: so it sounds like another machine is answering21:00
TeTeThggdh: yep, though we couldn't figure out where it came from :( and I find it weird that a remote host answers when I thought all the traffic would go through the CC by default21:02
rriggindhclient.conf does have a supersede domain-name "domain.com" in it. could that cause the issue?21:06
SpamapShallyn: was at lunch, whats up?21:09
rrigginTeTeT:resolv.conf shows an entry for "nameserver 127.0.0.1" and and enty below it for "search domain.com21:09
rrigginTeTeT:dhclient.conf does have a supersede domain-name "domain.com" in it. could that cause the issue?21:09
TeTeTrriggin: weird, if it appends domain-name.com21:09
rrigginTeTeT: really throwing me for a loop because I have the config files setup the same way they are on the current server that is working properly.21:12
TeTeTrriggin: as it points to your localhost for DNS, what server is running there? Probably misconfigured bind?21:13
rrigginTeTeT: dnsmasq21:13
TeTeTrriggin: what's the output of dig +short www.google.com @127.0.0.1 from the server21:13
rrigginTeTeT: all dig requests come back with only 127.0.0.121:16
TeTeTrriggin: guess you need to check your /etc/dnsmasq.conf then and see what's happening. Unfortunately I know next to nothing of its proper configuration21:16
rrigginTeTeT: thanks though.21:17

|TurBo|hey guys21:33
koolhead17hi21:34
|TurBo|im wondering what web interface would u use on ubuntu server 10.10 64bit for web administration21:34
|TurBo|?21:34
|TurBo|i see their is some choices and would want the best for my box21:34
|TurBo|?21:35
|TurBo|would love some input on this21:35
|TurBo|since it seems that webmin isent the best choice?21:36
guntbert!webmin21:36
ubottuwebmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.21:36
|TurBo|yeah that's what i was thinking to21:36
guntbert|TurBo|: to my knowledge there is none21:36
patdk-nb!ebox21:36
ubottuebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox21:36
koolhead17security relate21:36
|TurBo|hmm21:36
|TurBo|thanks alot21:36
|TurBo|ill checkit out21:37
guntbertebox is horrible21:37
patdk-nbit's the *other* option :)21:37
|TurBo|lol21:37
koolhead17guntbert: what is the point of using such apps21:37
guntbert|TurBo|: ebox is in no way a replacement for webmin21:37
|TurBo|hmm21:37
patdk-nbpersonally I think all are horrible21:37
|TurBo|is freepbx any good ?21:37
koolhead17patdk-nb: true21:37
SpamapSI was never ecstatic about webmin..21:38
guntbertkoolhead17: for the parttime admin they provide an easier way around the system (even a full time admin might not know every corner...)21:38
SpamapSbut it was good enough I could put it on a box that I couldn't support remotely and have the night operator restart services over the phone..21:38
|TurBo|but the issue is that i cba to run gui on server as it is a waiste of cycles, but i want to be abel to admin it from another client without having to use to much of its reso21:38
|TurBo|is it possibel to do this in a good way ?21:39
SpamapSits a lot easier to tell somebody "click DNS, then 'restart'" than "ssh.. no EHS-EHS-AYCH box12"21:39
koolhead17SpamapS: true21:39
TeTeThggdh: found another prob in UEC 11.04: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/596257/21:39
koolhead17hey TeTeT21:40
TeTeThi koolhead1721:40
* koolhead17 is happy with the natty beta221:40
* patdk-nb wonders why you would need to restart dns :)21:40
|TurBo|lol21:40
koolhead17patdk-nb: haha21:41
koolhead17i would never recommend any one to use web interface for administration though :)21:43
jbernardSpamapS: hallyn has pushed a libcgroup branch: lp:~serge-hallyn/ubuntu/natty/libcgroup/upstart-jb21:44

SpamapSjbernard: reading.21:47
guntbertsemiosis: please !pastebin the complete output21:47
SpamapSjbernard: upstartifying it 9 days before release seems a bit.. risky. ;)21:48
jbernardSpamapS: yes, _but_ it fixes two security bugs21:48
SpamapSjbernard: are the bugs related to the boot ordering?21:48
semiosisguntbert: the complete output of what?  apt-get upgrade?21:48
jbernardSpamapS: the are not,21:49

hallynno22:26
SpamapShallyn: exit code of the statement needs to be 022:27
SpamapS&& means it was 0, then you did the stop ; exit22:27

hallynso, two things:22:29
SpamapShallyn: you are not alone. ;)22:29
hallynjbernard: SpamapS : let's push only the security fixes (not the upstart ones) for natty, and queue up the upstart ones for the first week of o-series being open22:30
hallynSpamapS: let me do a merge request for the upstart tree, assign you as reviewer, and you reject it and put all of the above feedback in there?  That way I ahve a permanent record22:30
jbernardhallyn: sounds good, just pop the upstart patches off the top and you're good to go22:30
SpamapShallyn: does it still work w/o the upstart job to make sure it starts at the right spot in the boot?22:30
SpamapShallyn: good plan. :)22:30
hallynSpamapS: no22:31
hallynSpamapS: so it wont' play nice with libvirt22:31

hallynyes22:31
SpamapShallyn: worth it I think to fix the bug then22:31
SpamapSas much as I'm tearing your shell script apart.. its fairly straight forward as an upstart job goes. :)22:32
hallyndrat22:32
hallynlemme translate for SpamapS22:32

hallynweird, this is the first pentadactyl bug I've seen in months.  But when I click on SpamapS in 'choose reviewer', it has deselected the input field, and doesn't fill the input field in22:34
hallynyou, sir, have a pending review22:35
hallynjbernard: it occurs to me, the 'grep "^cgroup" /proc/mounts" check in cgred's init script is redundant.  cgred won't run unless cgconfig has run (and succeeded), so it seems like it's guaranteed that cgroup is already mounted23:08
hallynI'll just leave a comment by the code, rather than remove it now23:08
hallynSpamapS: (I've gone ahead and pushed lp:~serge-hallyn/upstart/natty/libcgroup/upstart3 to start addressing your feedback, but will still re-compare to your feedback on the other tree)23:16

SpamapShallyn: yes the review is active basically forever23:47
hallynsure, but do your comments get targeted at specific revisions?23:47
SpamapShallyn: idea being I can mark it "needs fixing" multiple times then you just re set it to "Ready for review" when you think you've fixed it23:47
SpamapSyes my comments will show above revisions pushed23:48
SpamapSso if I comment now, and then you push, your push will come after the comment23:48
