kieppie1hi guys. I have a sort query. I have a list of IP's I'd like to sort in sequence, but 192.168.0.100 preceeds .10 preceeds .104:12
kieppie1what argument can I use to put them in order?04:12
WinstonSmithkieppie1: try -g04:15
WinstonSmithor -n04:15
kieppie1did try numeric. found an eventual solution: sort -t . -k 1,1n -k 2,2n -k 3,3n -k 4,4n04:16
kieppie1thanks anyway04:16

LinSkyratewhats best vmware server 2 or virtualbox on ubuntu 8.04 Hardy?09:33
=== cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson
greppyLinSkyrate: that's going to depend on your goals, I prefer virtualbox personally09:41
LinSkyrategreppy: oki.. just downloaded it.. i wil give it a run09:41
LinSkyrategreppy: how can i install virt box with dependencies? i use dpkg -i but that fails on deps09:43
greppyLinSkyrate: use apt-get install instead of dpkg, that will grab the dependancies.  or you can try 'sudo apt-get -f install' to see if it will fix what it needs09:52
LinSkyrategreppy: jupp.. but i need to set the repo for hardy09:53
greppywhy not use lucid?09:55
greppyLinSkyrate: why not use 10.04 aka lucid?09:56
LinSkyratebecause im running other things that demands 8.0409:58
greppyouch :(09:59
LinSkyratebut what package is this in : libxcursor1 (and a lot of others that are missing?09:59
LinSkyratei get this error: Avhenger av: libxcursor1 (> 1.1.2) men skal ikke installeres Avhenger av: libxrandr2 (>= 2:1.2.0) men skal ikke installeres Avhenger av: python2.5 (>= 2.5) men skal ikke installeres Anbefaler: libhal1 (>= 0.5) men skal ikke installeres Anbefaler: libpulse0 men skal ikke installeres Anbefaler: libsdl-ttf2.0-0 men skal ikke installeres Anbefaler: pdf-viewer10:02
greppyno idea what the errors mean ( since I only read english ) bt I think it is complaining about versions not being available10:05
LinSkyrategreppy: the version is ok but miss all that installed to go on10:06
LinSkyratedo i need ubuntu-desktop installed?10:07
greppyyou might10:07
EricJif my norwegian is correct, something depends on libxcursor1, but that it cant be installed.10:08
greppymy box with virtualbox running on it is in another building right now, so I can't really check.10:08
LinSkyrateEricJ: it just says that it needs this installed but i have not done so10:09
RoyKLinSkyrate: run LANG=C apt-get ...10:09
EricJLinSkyrate: so if you just try to explicitly install those dependencies?10:09
LinSkyrateEricJ: jupp10:10
LinSkyrateim installing ubuntu-desktop to see if it contains all that10:10
EricJOh dear.10:10
LinSkyratehe he10:10
RoyKLinSkyrate: erm - that probably won't help10:10
RoyKLinSkyrate: which version is this?10:10
LinSkyrateRoyK: 8.04 Hardy10:11
RoyKoh10:11
RoyKcould you try Lucid?10:11
LinSkyrateRoyK: i need that version for a stable Ulteo10:11
RoyKwhat's an ulteo?10:12
LinSkyrateUlteo is VDI10:12
LinSkyrateVirtual Desktop via web10:12
RoyKthen you're probably talking about a desktop installation, right? if so, strictly speaking, this is the wrong channel...10:13
LinSkyrateim going to make a simulation for some money people, and they need to see some eyecandy to put the money on the table for my projects10:13
RoyKI wonder why they still stick with 8.04, though10:13
RoyKit's not getting newer, and the eyecandy will be better with Lucid10:14
LinSkyratethey have a 3.0 version, but thats to new and buggy10:14
LinSkyratecan i do a command line upgrade to Lucid?10:15
LinSkyrateim sitting remote for this server10:15
RoyKdo-release-upgrade10:15
LinSkyrateRoyK: ??10:16
LinSkyratejust that?10:16
RoyKcheck /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades first10:16
RoyKthat should be set to Prompt=lts10:16
RoyKand yes, just that :)10:16
LinSkyratewill it not get me up to 11.04 then?10:17
RoyKit'll take you to the next LTS, meaning 10.04 Lucid10:17
RoyKor if Prompt=normal, it'll take you to the next release, 8.1010:17
LinSkyrateRoyK: will do that, but must finish ubuntu-desktop install first as i already started that10:20
LinSkyrateRoyK: its says No new release found?10:35
LinSkyratei changed to lts10:35
RoyKerm...10:37
LinSkyrateRoyK: should i put anything else there than lts?10:37
RoyKcan you doublecheck the version? lsb_release -a10:37
RoyKno, lts is fine10:37
LinSkyrateRoyK: shit.. this release are in 11.04 for some reason10:39
RoyKheh10:39
RoyKI've seen some rather messy dependency issues in 11.0410:39
LinSkyrateRoyK: can i downgrade do Lucid?10:40
RoyKreinstall10:40
LinSkyrateto10:40
LinSkyrateæsj10:40
RoyKjau10:40
LinSkyratethats shitty its a remote server10:40
RoyKdidn't you say it was running Hardy?10:41
RoyKit doesn't upgrade all on its own...10:41
LinSkyratemust have mixed the cds10:43
LinSkyratebecause this should be 8.0410:43
LinSkyratedid a plain server install yesterday10:43
RoyKI thought you were talking about some virtual installation?10:45
LinSkyratenope10:45
LinSkyratethats inside10:45
RoyKok10:45
LinSkyrateits not virtual.. its a controlpanel for virtual desktops10:45
RoyKok10:47
RoyKand you don't have something like a BMC/IPMI/ILO/ILOM/ALOM in the machine so you can control it remotely?10:49
LinSkyratenope... :(10:49
* RoyK likes SuperMicro's IPMI - supports installing a server from local ISO images :)10:50
RoyKtook me 20 minutes to install four Lucid servers at once (a quad thing - four mobos in 2U)10:51
LinSkyratedont have that in this machine10:51
LinSkyratestill get the missing libs when installing virtbox 410:52
DavieyRoyK: Using ext4?10:53
RoyKyeah10:54
RoyKwhy?10:54
DavieyRoyK: previously ext4 has suffered from slow installation, due to the fsync's between every operation.10:57

foo-nixI apt-getted roundcube, and noticed that index.ph in /usr/share/roundcube is owned by root (which is the the indexfile /var/lib/roundcube/index.php (docroot) links to). Why isn' t this www-data?13:53
foo-nix*index.php and the same goes for .htaccess13:53
foo-nixthe reason I ask this is that I get a "SoftException in Application.cpp:296: UID of script "/var/lib/roundcube/index.php" is smaller than min_uid"13:54
foo-nixwhich is of course true if the owner (and group) are root13:55
lynxmanfoo-nix: that looks like a packaging issue13:59
lynxmanfoo-nix: I don't see it on the bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/roundcube14:00
lynxmanfoo-nix: you would like to fill a bug for it? :)14:00
foo-nixlynxman, sure, but I have no experience with ww-related packages14:03
foo-nixi.e. which install roundcube, squirelmail, phpmyadmin, etc14:03
sommermorning, and happy Monday14:03
lynxmanfoo-nix: ooh I see14:13
lynxmanfoo-nix: well your guess is right, it should be www-data, I'll try to reproduce the problem later and see if I have the same issue as you14:13
foo-nixlynxman, unfortunately, after chmodding I have the same problem, I will restart apache now14:14
foo-nixalthough I wouldn't understand why :P14:14
lynxmanfoo-nix: hmm what story do the logs say?14:14
foo-nixoh, same error14:15

lynxmanfoo-nix: /var/lib/roundcube...14:15
lynxmanfoo-nix: then you're talking also about the index.php in /usr/share/roundcube14:15
foo-nixyeah14:16
lynxmanfoo-nix: is there anything in /var/lib/roundcube? there should be right?14:16
foo-nixthe index.php is linked there14:16
lynxmanfoo-nix: is the link made by root?14:16
foo-nixlynxman, I think so, I don't really know how linking works with userrights14:17
foo-nixwait14:17
foo-nixhttp://imagebin.org/15805314:18
foo-nixlynxman, that's a listing14:18
lynxmanfoo-nix: okay but that's the one in /usr/share/roundcube14:18
lynxmanfoo-nix: what's the content of /var/lib/roundcube14:19
foo-nixlynxman, wait, I just chmodded the files to www-data14:19
foo-nixinitially most of them were roor:root owned14:19
foo-nix*root:root14:19
lynxmanfoo-nix: if they were there must be a reason behind it...14:20
foo-nixlynxman, I think so, but then why do I get this error?14:20
foo-nixand why wouyld an index.php be owned by root?14:20
lynxmanfoo-nix: must be something else related14:21
lynxmanfoo-nix: I would need to dedicate some time to try to reproduce it14:21
foo-nixlynxman, I don't know much about how to configure www-packages and where ubuntu puts stuff14:21
lynxmanfoo-nix: I would recommend you though, uninstall the package "apt-get purge packagename"14:21
lynxmanfoo-nix: and then install it again, don't chown anything14:22
lynxmanfoo-nix: copy/paste the problem into Google, see if someone else had it as well14:22
foo-nixlynxman, yes, I find it disturbing to do so, either :)14:22
lynxmanfoo-nix: since I'm sure there's something else involved, never installed roundcube myself so... :)14:22
foo-nixlynxman, others also have it, but they don' t state the owners of the files and moreover none installed from portage14:22
foo-nixlynxman, thank you very much14:23
foo-nixI have guests arriving in a bit more than 30 minutes14:23
lynxmanfoo-nix: no problem, let me know how the purge and reinstall goes14:23
lynxmanfoo-nix: oops, hurry up then ;)14:23
lynxmanhehe14:23
foo-nixso I will be less availiable14:23
foo-nixlynxman, but if you would like to have some info, feel free to e-mail me at herbert@fmf.nl14:23

nandemonai;)14:28
nandemonaiMight help, sounds related.14:28
foo-nix"Sounds like a good idea but unfortunately the packaging of RoundCube (and I'm guessing a lot of other stuff) hasn't caught up with the change yet. When I installed RoundCube it with Aptitude it, of course, went in owned by root."14:31
foo-nixthanx14:31
SpamapSThere should be nothing wrong with a web app being owned by root. Did I miss something?14:33
=== Adri2000 is now known as Guest87619
SpamapSOh, suphp.. or "the worst idea ever" ;)14:34
foo-nixSpamapS, suphp runs these scrips ar the file owner14:34
foo-nixSpamapS, it sounds uite secure if you ask me.14:34
foo-nix*quite14:34
foo-nixSpamapS, this allows for a website to own it' s own file14:35
foo-nixmakeing sure the one site can' t fiddle or piggy-back on the other site (' s security issue)14:35
patdk-wkhmm, you want to run roundcube per user?14:35
SpamapSshared hosting is a fail14:35
patdk-wkwhy not run it per server, and be done14:35
SpamapSWe have KVM to solve this problem for us now.14:36
foo-nixAre you suggesting to install a new server each time you setup a new site? Or some virtualserver configuration? That' s complete overkill14:36
patdk-wkI would put shared hosting on a different box, than the email server14:36
SpamapSyes14:36
SpamapSfoo-nix: its a single command. :)14:36
foo-nixSpamapS, rm -rf ~/  is also a single command14:37
foo-nixSpamapS, I like the idea of virtual machines14:37
foo-nixSpamapS, but I also like the idea of not having too much of them.14:37
SpamapSfoo-nix: w/ appropriate config management you can manage thousands of them at once.14:38
SpamapSThey're as easy to manage as processes now, and without all of the hacks that we built around isolating processes from eachother over the last 20 years.14:39
foo-nixSpamapS, sure, but that doesn' t make virtualhosts bad14:39
SpamapSno, it makes virtualhosts obsolete. obsolete still has value.14:39
SpamapSjust like ipv6 should, some day, make nat obsolete. :)14:40
foo-nixSpamapS, anyhow, the server of my university does it the vhost way :)14:40
SpamapSI would say that suphp/suexec should have options for refusing to run as root.14:40
foo-nixI'm not going to allow php scripts to run as root from a http-request14:41
SpamapSfoo-nix: we're actually working on a system for making deploying and managing a service like roundcube as easy as 'apt-get install roundcube' ..14:41

SpamapSjamespage: I'll give it a whack and see what I come up with. :)16:58
jamespageSpamapS: ack - the run-test.py script and the templates directory should be most interesting16:58
* jamespage thinks that it may need a little refactoring to support SpamapS requirements17:00
SpamapSjamespage: the only requirement I'll have is that I can reboot 2 or 3 times17:00
jamespageSpamapS: a limitation of the current framework17:01
jamespageI think you will need to specialise the templates/run_test  - this is the script that gets injected into the vm17:03
jamespageit only deals with boot -> run tests -> shutdown at the moment17:03
SpamapSjamespage: well technically I'm not shutting down until after a few reboots. :)17:08
jamespageSpamapS: yeah - so that should deal with the 'testing complete' monitoring (which is when the vm shuts itself down)17:11

slybootsHi :)19:24
slybootsAh, okay my server appears to have crashed several tiems now, I've left it running on the console mode and I now have a big page of text but what Im curious is how to I. use this information19:25
slybootsIt looks like a kernel stack-trace? I think..19:25
slybootsOh and Caps and Scroll-lock are blinking on the keyboard19:25
slybootsIncase thats somehow relevent19:26
zulslyboots, take a picture of it and submit a bug19:26
slybootswell, I sort of need to get the system backup now.. and my boss is going to want to know what caused the crash19:26
slybootsSo, Is there any sort of general advice that would be helpful in this situation in prehaps preventing it gain rather than "Yea it just crashed"19:27
patdk-wkwell, unless you know how to read that info, there is nothing we can really do to help you19:31

patdk-wkhardware failing, kernel driver failing, a kern param ran out of stack/mem/...19:32
slybootsIts taking down the entire system so..19:32
patdk-wkwell, I dunno how you want someone over irc to tell you what it is19:32

CrazyGirWinstonSmith: last19:57
CrazyGiroops, sorry19:57
CrazyGirI just spent a little time googling and searching apt but did not find the answer I was looking for.. how does one add the standard man pages to ubuntu-server19:58
SpamapSCrazyGir: sudo apt-get install man-db20:00
SpamapSwhich should be on the default install.. but still.20:01
CrazyGirhrm20:05
CrazyGirthank you :)20:05
JanCalso depends on what you mean by "standard man pages"20:06
JanCe.g. if you need the manpages for the POSIX standard, there is 'manpages-posix' (I find those occasionally useful)20:08
slybootsHm..20:09
slybootsIs there a way to test if a serial console is waiting20:09
slybootsUh.. working even x.x20:09
slybootsI added grub_terminal=serial to the defaults file, ran grub install.. but Im not getting anything on the terminal20:10
Dynamithello i was now i need to setup virtual host i use webmin but forgot how to setup so it work 100% i have setup 2 virtual host now, but one answer for all call's20:10
CrazyGirJanC: by standard, I mean manpages should be on any system you go to20:11
CrazyGirthose manpages ;)20:11
CrazyGirI can barely wrap my head around ubuntu separating them into a package20:11
JanCCrazyGir: embeded systems often remove all manpages  ;)20:11
JanCand AFAIK Ubuntu doesn't separate all manpages in one package?20:12
CrazyGirsure, and embedded systems often build from scratch20:12
CrazyGirand I don't know one/more packages20:12
CrazyGirI'm just a BSD guy and looking at this like wtf20:12
JanC'man-db' contains teh man command & infrastructure20:13
JanCnot the manpages20:13
JanCmanpages should be in their respective packages20:13
CrazyGirhow do you mean respective packages?20:13
JanCthe manpage for bash is in the bash package, etc.?20:14
CrazyGirlike if I am lookingfor into on the syntax for net interfaces..20:14
CrazyGirsure, but the core system?20:14
JanCah, programming manpages?20:14
JanCor about the kernel?20:15
JanCmaybe you want 'manpages-dev'20:15
CrazyGir..only in ubuntu20:15
JanCand/or 'glibc-doc'20:15
CrazyGir><20:15
CrazyGiris there a package that will bring it all down?20:16
CrazyGir:P20:16
JanCI think the BSD people are more "anal" about manpages   ;)20:16
CrazyGirin what sense?20:16
CrazyGirI'm a BSD guy and never had an issue with manpages in Open/Free20:17
JanCe.g. I remember a BSD sysadmin patching the "hier" manpage to reflect the local machine   ;)20:17
CrazyGirthey're there. period.20:17
* CrazyGir shrug dunno about that..20:17
JanCor maybe that was just him  ;)20:17
CrazyGiryea, probably :)20:17
JanCbutstill, IMO utilities that come from the BSDs often have better & more up-to-date manpages20:18
CrazyGiroh yea, for the most page, documentation in linux is atrocious20:19
JanCIIRC he told me patching something in FreeBSD is only allowed if you also fix the manpage (if that's needed)20:19
CrazyGiryea, the OpenBSD devs consider a bug in doc on the same page with security bugs20:19
CrazyGirwhich I would agree with20:20
CrazyGiras they're telling you the wrong thing20:20
JanCCrazyGir: I don't know any meta package that pulls in every possibly useful documentation though20:20
CrazyGiryea20:20
CrazyGirso for typical system docs, manpages-dev?20:20
CrazyGiror 'manpages'?20:20
JanCthey contain other sections in the man system (see the package description)20:21
RoAkSoAxno/win 1720:22
RoAkSoAxarggggghh20:22
JanCI think manpages should be installed by default?20:22
JanCand manpages-dev should be installed when you install a build system20:23

plmHi all20:26
plmpeople, why ubuntu recommend to install ubuntu server when try to download it?20:27
plmsorry20:27
JanCplm: what do you mean?20:27
plmpeople, why ubuntu *64 bits* recommend to install ubuntu server when try to download it?20:27
plmare 64 more stable than 32?20:27
JanCyou mean why ubuntu-server is 64-bit by default?20:27
plmsorry for my confuse sentence agaim20:27
plmJanC: yes20:28
CrazyGirmost servers have tons of ram20:28
JanCmost server hardware is 64-bit nowadays20:28
CrazyGirlike 32GB is common20:28
JanCbut if you want 32-bits, it's available too (e.g. for small VMs)20:28
plmJanC: how I know if my server is 32 or 64? just see in setup if is adm64 emt64?20:28
JanCplm: what sort of server is this?20:29
plmmy is EM64T in setup20:29
plmJanC: is a mounted server..20:30
JanCeh?20:30
plmyes20:30
plmsetup show EM64T20:30
RoyKCrazyGir: 32GB is a bit above normal20:30
JanCI mean, what sort of hardware are you using, how much RAM, etc. ?20:30
JanCRoyK: I suppose that depends on what you are doing with your servers  ;)20:31
plmJanC: intel core 2 duo, 3GB ram20:31
RoyKplm: just install from the amd64 iso20:31
JanCplm: that CPU supports 64-bit, but you don't really need it20:31
RoyKJanC: I have a few boxes with 64GB - but it depends of use20:31
plm64 or 32? :-)20:32
RoyKor just 420:32
plmor need I think : if is more than 4gb, use 64, else 3220:32
slybootsHm.. Im confused by this20:32
JanCplm: what are you going to do with it?20:32
RoyKmost webservers will live happily with just 4GB20:32
plmJanC: postgresql database server20:32
slybootsIm trying to log all information related to this kernel crash over Serial..20:32
slybootsNow I know the serial cable works ( by starting a getty session on ttyS0) but the instructions I have for logging dont seem to work20:33
JanCI don't think postgres is (much) faster with 64-it, so maybe better use the 32-bit version then (that uses less memory)20:33
slybootsOr at least, they are for logging into a system over serial20:33
JanC64-bit20:33
CrazyGirwhat is the proper way to _fully_ restart networking (such that all devices reinit/request dhcp if needed/etc)?20:33
slybootsThey all list adding Grub_console=serial to the grub-defaults file20:33
CrazyGirservice networking stop/start doesn't really do that20:33
plmJanC: ok, I will use 32-bit20:34
plmJanC: but i don't have problems too if use 64-bit right?20:34
plmJanC: my question is really when use 32 or 64...20:34
plmif just RAM more 4GB is the case20:34
JanCboth will work20:35
JanCmake sure you use the PAE 32-bit kernel though (it's about 0.05% slower, but offers better security)20:35
JanCor maybe 0.005% slower, I don't know exactly, but isn't really important  ;)20:36
JanCthe PAE kernel can also use > 4 GiB RAM with 32-bits, if you ever upgrade it20:36
slybootsAnyone any idea?20:37
CrazyGirslyboots: serial consoles are a pain in linux :(20:38
JanCCrazyGir: restarting "networking" should work?20:38
plmJanC: for now I will install 10.4 32-bit, because I already using a old 7.4 (feisty) 32-bit. And when I will get a "real" server with 10GB ram I will install ubuntu 64-bit and does dump/import data :-)20:38
CrazyGirJanC: like service networking restart?20:38
CrazyGirhave you tried that? :P20:38
JanCCrazyGir: I have done that in the past  ;)20:39

SpamapSJanC: are all of your network interfaces configured in /etc/network/interfaces ?20:55
JanCSpamapS: it's CrazyGir who has the problem20:57
SpamapSyeah I was reading backwards20:57
SpamapSCrazyGir: whats the issue?20:57
JanCI guess network-manager is managing the network then?20:57
adam_gzul: ppa:gandelman-a/puppet-module-rsyslog  there are some test manifests you can run/apply in /etc/puppet/modules/rsyslog/tests20:58
SpamapSwell the 'networking' upstart task is just a thing to run 'ifup -a' .. its not actually managing "networking"20:58

plmpeople, I would like to use postgresql 9.0, but 10.4 LTS has just 8.4.. what you sugest?21:11
plmpostgresql 8.4 is old..21:11
lynxmanplm: I think there's a PPA with 9.0 for Lucid21:12
lynxmanplm: I used one at least :)21:12
plmlynxman: but is stable..?21:12
lynxmanplm: as stable as 9.0 can be21:13
plmlynxman: and secure.. and one apt-get -f dist-upgrade will not break the system?21:13
lynxmanplm: I used it in a prod enviroment, but of course your mileage can vary21:13
plmlynxman: using this PPA, one apt-get -f dist-upgrade will not break the system?21:14
lynxmanplm: it didn't on mine, but again... use at your own risk, I'm not a certifier of any kind ;)21:14
tdelamCan anyone recommend a program I can use to watch a user who is logged via SSH in realtime? I want to set up a few apache things and I need to show him what I am doing and explain it while I do that on the phone.21:15
tdelamI know in freebsd there was a watch tty thing, i just cant find an equiv for UBuntu21:16
plmlynxman: right, I know, just getting information :-) curious.. if the advantage of LTS is just a long support.. so is install 10.4 with PPA postgresql 9 is the sabe of install 11.4 with default 9.0 postgresql :-) not?21:16
plm*same21:16
lynxmantdelam: you can share a byobu session with the other user if you both login under the same user21:16
lynxmanplm: Except that the rest of your OS will reach end of life sooner than the LTS21:16
tdelamlynxman: oh?21:17
lynxmanplm: and the postgres 9.0 ppa is community based, so clearly no support on that one21:17
tdelamoh wait, byobu is?21:17
lynxmantdelam: byobu is a newer "screen"21:17
tdelamIt's not a GUI thing?21:18
lynxmantdelam: it'll setup a virtual TTY that both users can write and see at the same time21:18
lynxmantdelam: nope21:18
tdelaminteresting, I'll try it out on my server first.21:18
lynxmantdelam: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/byobu.html21:18
plmlynxman: right, so in this case use 11.4 with default 9.0 is better.. because I have oficial support of ubuntu for postgresql21:18
tdelamthanks lynxman21:18
kirklandlynxman: tdelam: even better: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Byobu21:18
lynxmanplm: I wouldn't risk it if I were you, unless you plan to replace that server in less than 2 years21:18
lynxmankirkland: oh thanks :)21:18
lynxmanplm: so yes you wouldn't get support for the private PPA but on the other hand you'll get support from the PostgreSQL community anyway21:20
lynxmanplm: so it's not very risque21:20
plmlynxman: right, but for example, using 10.4 with PPA postgres 9.0. in 2012 are there a ubgfix of 9.0... this PPA will receive this update like as another package?21:20
tdelamwow, byobu is awesome21:20
tdelamso simple21:20
lynxmantdelam: it's very nice :)21:20
JanCtdelam: byoby is a very fancy config for screen  ;)21:20
lynxmanplm: if the community maintainer does, yes, and they're very good21:21
tdelamya, tested it out, logged in from work to my server then logged into some other server i have and tried it21:21
tdelamit's exactly what I need21:21
lynxmanplm: worst case scenario you can build your own postgres packages for 9.021:21
plmlynxman: right, I will use 10.4 with PPA :-)21:21
lynxmanplm: it's the safest choice for a prod server :)21:22
tdelamshould work if the user has putty right?21:22
* tdelam doesn't see why not but stranger things happened with windows users21:22
plmlynxman: thanks :-)21:23
lynxmantdelam: yes, should work like a charm, you can resize the byobu window to fit the user with the smallest terminal21:23
lynxmanplm: no problem ;)21:23
tdelami love this and it's only 3 mins of usage21:24

lynxmanMartin Pitt maintains his own PostgreSQL PPA http://www.piware.de/2010/09/postgresql-9-0-final-released/21:34
lynxmanthat's the one I used21:34
JanCMartin Pitt is one of the main Ubuntu developers21:34
lynxmanJanC: sactly, so I reckon it'll be in good shape21:34
JanCso that should be okay, although a company could ask him if he plans to maintain it for the next X years of course  ;)21:35
lynxmanJanC: yeah but PostgreSQL is not affiliated to any company, well maybe except 2nd Quadrant, but it's a community driven corp21:35

RoAkSoAxkirkland: ping22:32
kirklandRoAkSoAx: pong22:32
RoAkSoAxkirkland: howdy!! Have a second to discuss powernap stuff ?22:33
lynxmanping Daviey22:34
kirklandRoAkSoAx: sure, wassup22:34
RoAkSoAxkirkland: so I'm working on the client/server thing already22:35
RoAkSoAxkirkland: and first looking into auto-registration for client machines22:36
RoAkSoAxwith powerwaked22:36
RoAkSoAxso that powerwaked will know all the hostnames/mac/ip's of the clients if they register22:36
RoAkSoAxkirkland: now, since you guys worked on that for eucalyptus22:36
RoAkSoAxkirkland: I was wonderingf what's the best way to go here. either 1. Embbed python code for avahi, both on client and server or 2. do as separate components with powerwaked-client-listener and powernap-client-publisher or similar22:37
RoAkSoAxkirkland: and the publisher only uses avahi-publish rather than embbed the code in powernap's daemon22:37
RoAkSoAx1. will involve checking the config file for "AUTO_PUBLISH=y" if y, then publish, otherwise, do not22:38
kirklandRoAkSoAx: hmm22:39
RoAkSoAxkirkland: and 2. will involve publishing using just an upstart script22:39
kirklandRoAkSoAx: you gotta be real careful here, from a security perspective22:39
kirklandRoAkSoAx: imagine that you're running powernap on your laptop (as I am)22:39
kirklandRoAkSoAx: and you go to UDS22:39
kirklandRoAkSoAx: and your laptop is broadcasting that it's a powernap client, hello, i'm ready to be managed ...22:40
kirklandRoAkSoAx: and then someone decides that Andres' machine needs to go to sleep :-)22:40
kirklandRoAkSoAx: i think I'd prefer an approach closer to ssh-copy-id / ssh-import-id22:42
kirklandRoAkSoAx: rather than autoregistration22:42
kirklandRoAkSoAx: for autoregistration, you should use orchestra + puppet/ensemble22:42
kirklandRoAkSoAx: where what you're really doing is federating clients to a server22:42
kirklandRoAkSoAx: that shouldn't be unique to powernap, IMHO22:42
kirklandRoAkSoAx: especially while we're working on other infrastructure in the Platform/Server to do this in a general way22:43
kirklandSpamapS: congrads on getting ensemble into the NEW queue ;-)22:43
RoAkSoAxkirkland: right, yeah I was planning on using avahi to do something like what was done with UEC for auto-registration features, such as: MachineA publishes itself to the network sending its IP, MAC and Hostname. Then powerwaked server obtains that info, and checks the local database if it's already there or not, if not, then just register it by adding the info to the powerwake cache22:43
kirklandRoAkSoAx: sorry, i'm not a big fan of that part of UEC's design/implementation22:44
kirklandRoAkSoAx: i'd hate to see it repeated for powernap :-(22:44
RoAkSoAxkirkland: yeah I guess if using with puppet/ensemble the idea would simply be to interact with some powerwaked API to tell it "Register this machine if it is not already registered"22:44
RoAkSoAxkirkland: yeah I'm also not really fun of broadcasting that info and would rather do a real client/server approach where the client know's who the server is, and tries to register when daemon is started22:45
RoAkSoAxs/fun/fan22:45
RoAkSoAxkirkland: what about the usage of rabbitmq22:52
kirklandRoAkSoAx: what about it?22:53
RoAkSoAxkirkland: I mean, use rabbitmq to do registration, notification to the server, stuff like that22:53
RoAkSoAxkirkland: for i.e. if powernap-client is "managed" then whenever it changes of state, powernap-client sends messages to the server, or noties that's gonna execute and action, or has recover from an action and stuff like that22:54
Eitanhey anybody have some expereince with dl380 g4 servers?23:05
SpamapSEitan: what kind of experience? I used to use them quite a bit but only with centos.23:19
SpamapSkirkland: thanks. :) Hopefully an archive admin is as congratulatory as you. ;)23:20
