[01:35] Hey, I am installing ubuntu server 10.10 and I am wanting it to be a mail server as well what option should I choose for the mail configuration? can anyone help me [01:46] New bug: #765367 in xinetd (main) "xinetd fails to parse config files with comments when HUPped" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/765367 [01:53] if you have a backup system where a client backs up to a central server, what do you then do if the client gets compromised? [01:56] Tukanfan: push or pull? [01:56] push, because clients is often behind NAT [01:56] Using what, rsync over ssh? [01:56] yep [01:56] Learn about rrsync [01:56] will google that [01:57] It's in /usr/share/doc/rsync/scripts/rrsync.gz [01:57] okay === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [01:57] For example, I allow managers to upload to /var/www as root with command="/usr/local/bin/rrsync /var/www/",no-agent-forwarding,no-port-forwarding ssh-rsa [their hash] [their email address] [02:03] so you execute that command on the server or client side?

[02:27] $manager is asking me [02:27] im 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? [02:29] twb, I think google just uses that to verify you are the owner [02:29] cause only the owner can change dns [02:29] So they're reinvented DNSSEC? [02:30] Also, presumably that hash is *not* a shared secret? [02:31] http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2010/03/dns-verification-ftw.html [02:31] I doubt it [02:33] Presumably this is for that "analytics" stuff? [02:33] Where you put js into your HTML to make it spy on GUI browser users [02:50] Oh, apparently this is to allow us to remove content from google's cache [02:50] FSVO content = "whoops, that's accessible externally?" [02:55] OK, I get it now. I talked to $coworker about it [03:22] anyone know of a a good irc widget [03:28] emacs [03:28] :) [03:41] hmm, launchpad seems to be back to it's normal forever slowness again :( [06:25] So the kernel is OOM-killing apache2 and mysqld. [06:25] But upstart restarts them... I'm not sure that is the Right Thing in these circumstances. [07:16] hi there, sombody know why dhcp3-server doesn't start at boot time? is there any bug? [07:28] hello, 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 a [07:30] ther 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 seen [07:33] did you use "adduser" or "useradd"? [07:34] ah yes, my mistake, useradd [07:34] Do not use useradd, for this reason [07:34] useradd is a low-level command; adduser is a high-level command that creates /home and everything else it should do. [07:35] ok, should i delete the user/directory and use adduser to recreate or will this create conflicts? [07:35] Recommend you deluser fred, delete the home dir, and then adduser fred. [07:35] If it was me I might clean it up by hand, but it's not worth talking you through it [07:35] ok cool thank you very much :) [07:36] The 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. [07:37] twb: everything works as expected now, I appreciate the education [07:38] No problem [07:47] i just installed dhcp-server, however when i boot it doesn't start automatically.

Have you integrated it, and some mild testing? [09:53] Daviey: yes - it passed my simple 'Hello World' wsgi test case for both python 3.1 and 3.2 versions [09:54] Daviey: want me to propose it? [09:54] Daviey: and feel free to give brutal feedback on my conditional patch application in debian/rules :-) [09:56] heh [09:57] jamespage, whilst i look at that, have you seen bug 745946 in any of the recent jenkins tests?

It could have been infrastructure breakage rather than platform. [10:02] jamespage, What makes you think the patch might be incompatible with mod_python? [10:03] Daviey: thats what Graham from upstream indicated; description on patch is based on his comments [10:03] something todo with threading and mod_python not following the rules :-) [10:05] ah [10:19] Daviey: Does it look OK to you? [10:20] jamespage, well - i have a feeling that you can't call it source format 3.0 (quilt) with that. [10:20] just trying to check. [10:20] Daviey: ack - thanks for your help :-) [10:21] jamespage, it seems functional! And nicely done... just trying to check somthing [10:21] jamespage, I've not had to have condtional patches before since the new world order of 3.0 (quilt). [10:22] the 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] jamespage, Half balancing 'getting it done' and the other half wondering if the patch should contain the condition. [10:25] jamespage, hmm, has the patch author already done that? [10:26] jamespage, usage of #if PY_MAJOR_VERSION == 3 && PY_MINOR_VERSION >= 2 ? [10:26] ie, if python = 3.2: [10:26] Daviey: well there is some conditional code for 3.2 [10:27] Daviey: I would be more concerned where there is no condition for 3.2 on code - I think that is where the problems might lie. [10:29] jamespage, yeah... i just wondered if that was /safe/ code that didn't need conditioning [10:29] jamespage, http://pb.daviey.com/Im3W/ - probably easier to view! [10:30] lines starting, 18?

[20:51] TeTeT: this is about the bug you folks opened -- 765275 -- the interface capture shows errors and RSTs flowing [20:51] TeTeT: errors == ICMP dest unreachable [20:52] hggdh: 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 ours [20:52] hggdh: as the labs equipment has been used for different clouds already [20:53] hggdh: 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 test [20:54] TeTeT: 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 RST [20:54] TeTeT: packet 1367-1368 in the capture [20:54] hggdh: yeah, it looked to us like some other host would reply? [20:55] it might, even (if there is another one with the same IP, which would be bad in a different way) [20:55] anyone 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.com [20:55] hggdh: wouldn't the instance be having the front-end as router and thus reaching the right metadata service [20:55] but the point is something/someone sent a RST on the line [20:56] yes [20:56] rriggin: take a look at /etc/resolv.conf [20:56] hggdh: we used 'sudo tcpdump port 80' and nothing wsa seen from the front-end [20:57] hggdh: same as with 8773 [20:57] joy, joy, there we go again... now on tornado watch, probably soon to tornado warning :-( [20:57] hggdh: good luck! [20:57] resolv.conf shows an entry for "nameserver 127.0.0.1" and and enty below it for "search domain.com" [21:00] TeTeT: so it sounds like another machine is answering [21:02] hggdh: 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 default [21:06] dhclient.conf does have a supersede domain-name "domain.com" in it. could that cause the issue? [21:09] hallyn: was at lunch, whats up? [21:09] TeTeT:resolv.conf shows an entry for "nameserver 127.0.0.1" and and enty below it for "search domain.com [21:09] TeTeT:dhclient.conf does have a supersede domain-name "domain.com" in it. could that cause the issue? [21:09] rriggin: weird, if it appends domain-name.com [21:12] TeTeT: 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. [21:13] rriggin: as it points to your localhost for DNS, what server is running there? Probably misconfigured bind? [21:13] TeTeT: dnsmasq [21:13] rriggin: what's the output of dig +short www.google.com @127.0.0.1 from the server [21:16] TeTeT: all dig requests come back with only 127.0.0.1 [21:16] rriggin: guess you need to check your /etc/dnsmasq.conf then and see what's happening. Unfortunately I know next to nothing of its proper configuration [21:17] TeTeT: thanks though.

[21:27] Hey guys. Is there a preferred way to install django on my ubuntu server= [21:27] ?* [21:32] ChrisBuchholz: you'll get security updates and such with 'sudo apt-get install python-django' .. you will still need to configure your webserver to access it tho.

[21:34] <|TurBo|> i see their is some choices and would want the best for my box [21:35] <|TurBo|> ? [21:35] <|TurBo|> would love some input on this [21:36] <|TurBo|> since it seems that webmin isent the best choice? [21:36] !webmin [21:36] webmin 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 to [21:36] |TurBo|: to my knowledge there is none [21:36] !ebox [21:36] ebox 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/eBox [21:36] security relate [21:36] <|TurBo|> hmm [21:36] <|TurBo|> thanks alot [21:37] <|TurBo|> ill checkit out [21:37] ebox is horrible [21:37] it's the *other* option :) [21:37] <|TurBo|> lol [21:37] guntbert: what is the point of using such apps [21:37] |TurBo|: ebox is in no way a replacement for webmin [21:37] <|TurBo|> hmm [21:37] personally I think all are horrible [21:37] <|TurBo|> is freepbx any good ? [21:37] patdk-nb: true [21:38] I was never ecstatic about webmin.. [21:38] koolhead17: for the parttime admin they provide an easier way around the system (even a full time admin might not know every corner...) [21:38] but 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 reso [21:39] <|TurBo|> is it possibel to do this in a good way ? [21:39] its a lot easier to tell somebody "click DNS, then 'restart'" than "ssh.. no EHS-EHS-AYCH box12" [21:39] SpamapS: true [21:39] hggdh: found another prob in UEC 11.04: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/596257/ [21:40] hey TeTeT [21:40] hi koolhead17 [21:40] * koolhead17 is happy with the natty beta2 [21:40] * patdk-nb wonders why you would need to restart dns :) [21:40] <|TurBo|> lol [21:41] patdk-nb: haha [21:43] i would never recommend any one to use web interface for administration though :) [21:44] SpamapS: hallyn has pushed a libcgroup branch: lp:~serge-hallyn/ubuntu/natty/libcgroup/upstart-jb [21:44] SpamapS: you're feedback would be most appreciated [21:46] just encountered a problem with the recently updated language-selector-common package, specifically in ec2 but it may affect other platforms as well [21:47] a fresh maverick install, updated & upgraded to the latest packages, leaves dpkg in a bad state, the error is...

[21:48] guntbert: the complete output of what? apt-get upgrade? [21:49] SpamapS: the are not, [21:50] SpamapS: buffer overflows, both of them i believe [21:50] [ ! grep "^cgroup" /proc/mounts &> /dev/null ] && { stop; exit 0; } [21:50] semiosis: the command from which you showed us one line ^^^ [21:50] double negatives are bad in english *and* shell script. :) [21:50] semiosis: but please use a pastebin! [21:50] SpamapS: no problem, i can fix that [21:50] grep -q is your friend [21:50] all pre-start's are run with set -e [21:51] so I usually like to use test || { stop; exit 0;} ... [21:51] jbernard: keep in mind I'm not filtering my review at the moment.. you might be ok with it "as is" [21:53] But yeah, I'm surprised the ! &&'s haven't bit you .. I'd think [ ! grep ... ] && foo would mean if it does find what its looking for it would exit 1 [21:54] SpamapS: no problem, ill clean that up [21:54] SpamapS: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=615987 [21:54] Debian bug 615987 in libcgroup "CVE-2011-1022" [Grave,Fixed] [21:54] jbernard: I'm testing right now if that actually is true [21:56] \o/ [21:56] rabbitmq-stomp is now built in natty!

[21:58] SpamapS: build dep [21:59] SpamapS: needed to symlink an erlang library into the expected /usr/lib/erlang location [21:59] guntbert: anyone can reproduce this error by creating an EC2 instance from ami-cef405a7 (the official 64-bit maverick image in us-east-1 for ebs-root) and do apt-get update, then apt-get upgrade [21:59] fun [22:00] guntbert: which worked fine until this afternoon [22:01] semiosis: in that case I suggest you file a bug report (although I don't know against what package) - the actual error is reported in lines 629,630 [22:01] jbernard: also no []'s [22:03] guntbert: how about package language-selector-common? [22:04] semiosis: good idea :-) (I obviously was not thinking straight) [22:04] guntbert: been there myself, thanks for the help :) [22:04] semiosis: :) [22:05] jbernard: what shell syntax is that { } stuff?

That way I ahve a permanent record [22:30] hallyn: sounds good, just pop the upstart patches off the top and you're good to go [22:30] hallyn: does it still work w/o the upstart job to make sure it starts at the right spot in the boot? [22:30] hallyn: good plan. :) [22:31] SpamapS: no [22:31] SpamapS: so it wont' play nice with libvirt [22:31] hallyn: that sux [22:31] jbernard: will do [22:31] SpamapS: yeah... [22:31] hallyn: libcgroup is still in universe right? [22:31] yes [22:31] hallyn: worth it I think to fix the bug then [22:32] as much as I'm tearing your shell script apart.. its fairly straight forward as an upstart job goes. :) [22:32] drat [22:32] lemme translate for SpamapS [22:32] "it's a pretty trivial upstart script to write. You just messed up so badly, it make sme want to facepalm" [22:32] :) [22:33] http://lolpics.se/pics/482.jpg [22:34] weird, 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 in [22:35] you, sir, have a pending review [23:08] jbernard: 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 mounted [23:08] I'll just leave a comment by the code, rather than remove it now [23:16] SpamapS: (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] or would that be lp:~serge-hallyn/ubuntu/natty/libcgroup/upstart3 :) === robbiew is now known as robbiew_ [23:44] hallyn: just update the branch you submitted for MP [23:44] hallyn: Still wading through a few other things [23:45] SpamapS: hm, ok - i wasn't sure if htat would muck up your review [23:47] hallyn: yes the review is active basically forever [23:47] sure, but do your comments get targeted at specific revisions? [23:47] hallyn: 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 it [23:48] yes my comments will show above revisions pushed [23:48] so if I comment now, and then you push, your push will come after the comment
