[01:02] <tarvid> puzzling over dhcpd
[01:02] <tarvid> the version I have is isc-dhcpd-4.1.1-P1
[01:03] <tarvid> there is a howto for dhcpd3 - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/dhcp3-server
[01:04] <tarvid> do I just pretend it is dhcpd3?
[01:37] <twb> OK, when I want something to permanently appear on shell logins (i.e. /etc/motd), and not be deleted by any fancy-pants auto-rewriting motd junk, where do I put it?
[01:37] <twb> /etc/motd.tail?
[01:43] <qman__> that used to be the case
[01:43] <qman__> but recently an update killed my motd on all my lucid servers
[01:45] <twb> For now I have manually put it in both motd and motd.tail, since apparently there's no /usr/sbin/update-motd and simply logging in again doesn't trigger the pam-based update-motd gank
[01:45] <twb> (The purpose of the message is, perhaps ironically, to remind sysadmins that this machine doesn't deal with rebooting properly.)
[01:46] <qman__> heh
[01:46] <qman__> mine broke a few weeks ago but I haven't had time to look into it
[01:47] <qman__> my systems barely qualify as multiuser though, so it's not a big deal, just annoying
[01:49] <twb> It's the library server at a prison :-(

[02:15] <chrismsnz> Hi, we're running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on some supermicro servers, and we're having some stability problems when the servers come under load
[02:16] <chrismsnz> if the problem is triggered (sometimes due to high memory usage) the system/kernel appears to go into some sort of zombie mode where it's still accepting network connections but not responding to anything
[02:17] <chrismsnz> leaving them to time
[02:17] <chrismsnz> out
[02:17] <chrismsnz> If I were to investigate this problem further, what is the best way to start collecting data on this failure to provide the maximum information for filing a bug
[02:39] <qman__> it may not be a bug at all, if the servers are simply running out of memory
[02:39] <qman__> it would make perfect sense that the kernel could accept connections, but then have the application unable to do anything
[02:40] <chrismsnz> in most cases I've seen the OOM killer has been activated
[02:40] <twb> chrismsnz: responding to ping but not doing anything else is normal behaviour when its resources are exhausted
[02:40] <qman__> setting proper limits would solve the problem
[02:40] <twb> chrismsnz: particularly if it's e.g. thrashing swap instead of simply OOM-killing
[02:40] <twb> qman__: unfortunately it's... nontrivial to set per-proc RAM limits
[02:40] <qman__> or finding out why you're running out of memory
[02:42] <chrismsnz> yeah
[02:42] <chrismsnz> I will investigate
[02:42] <lifeless> ulimit is goo
[02:42] <lifeless> d
[02:42] <lifeless> also consider making sure your swap is only large enough to hold a few seconds IO
[02:43] <chrismsnz> Swap is configured to be 50% of RAM
[02:43] <lifeless> (that is, big enough for truely unused pages to page out, but small enough you can't get completely wedged)
[02:43] <chrismsnz> 8gb RAM 4 GB swap
[02:43] <lifeless> chrismsnz: thats going to -hurt-
[02:43] <lifeless> unless you've got a 1GB San or something
[02:44] <chrismsnz> other servers are configured as 4gb RAM 2 gb swap
[02:44] <qman__> it doesn't scale like that
[02:44] <lifeless> so, ask yourself what you want the swap to hold
[02:44] <qman__> said servers have the same disk bandwidth
[02:44] <qman__> the same disk seek times
[02:44] <twb> FWIW I don't use swap at all
[02:44] <qman__> so they should have the same swap
[02:44] <qman__> also, that
[02:45] <twb> Under 2.6, default swap behaviour is so shit that it's not helpful
[02:45] <qman__> unless the server is ancient and can't be upgraded, I don't use swap anymore
[02:45] <chrismsnz> I think that revisiting the swap configuration is probably a good idea
[02:46] <qman__> and I don't make any swaps bigger than 1GB
[02:46] <chrismsnz> the swap usually sits with 500mb of pages in it with the memory not even close to being full (minus buffers/cache)
[02:46] <chrismsnz> that's probably a good place to start
[02:47] <chrismsnz> I also recall configuring our high memory servers (36gb +) to be very stingy with swap via the swappiness tweakable in /proc
[02:47] <twb> Wow, swap is actually used in normal operation?
[02:47] <twb> (...of that box)
[02:47] <chrismsnz> twb: I believe rarely used pages are swapped out as a matter of process
[02:48] <chrismsnz> and the freed ram used to power io cache and buffers
[02:48] <twb> chrismsnz: only if vm.swappiness is high or whatever
[02:48] <chrismsnz> it's 60/100 by default on ubuntu
[02:48] <chrismsnz> I have zero'd it before given certain workloads and high memory systems
[02:49] <chrismsnz> perhaps I'm placing too much trust in the kernel to swap out unused pages
[02:49] <chrismsnz> and should lower this value
[02:49] <chrismsnz> here is the current memory usage of an identically configured server
[02:49] <chrismsnz>              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
[02:49] <chrismsnz> Mem:          7994       7744        250          0       1019       3490
[02:49] <chrismsnz> -/+ buffers/cache:       3234       4760
[02:49] <chrismsnz> Swap:         4767       1238       3529
[02:50] <chrismsnz> as you can see... swap is being used even though there's 4-5gb of free memory
[02:50] <twb> I dunno man
[02:51] <TheEvilPhoenix> i think you shouldnt be pasting into here
[02:51] <TheEvilPhoenix> :P
[02:51] <chrismsnz> sorry
[02:51] <chrismsnz> thanks for your help i'll bbl
[02:51] <qman__> my file server still has a swap because I set it up long ago
[02:51] <qman__> said swap is 0 used
[02:51] <qman__> current uptime is 21 days, but it's been up much longer than that in the past
[02:53] <qman__> granted it's using ~1.5GB instead of ~4GB (out of 8GB)
[02:53] <qman__> but I've not seen it swap since back when it had 2GB in it
[02:56] <qman__> IMO, if a server spends any measurable amount of time swapping under normal load, something is wrong
[02:56] <twb> http://paste.debian.net/123300/
[03:03] <q_a_z_steve> How do I go about setting up a linux server with the ability of providing a network boot option to clients on the LAN?
[03:07] <lifeless> you need a tftp server for that

[03:08] <Tommy_nmw> lifeless: sorry bro

[03:43] <chrismsnz> twb and qman__: what does 'cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness' say on those systems if you don't mind my asking?
[03:44] <chrismsnz> I just went to check out the crashed server - there was some sort of kernel debug output on the screen, it was too verbose for me to read and the system was unresponsive so I could not properly read it
[03:46] <twb> 60 on the one I pasted
[03:47] <chrismsnz> twb: thanks. Time to start auditing my applications

[05:57] <maxagaz> hi
[06:45] <maxagaz> how to get the MAC of a remote machine ?
[06:46] <trapmax> eg. arp -a <ip>
[06:50] <jmarsden> maxagaz: ping it and check your arp table afterwards, or do something like ssh user@remotemachine.example.com /sbin/ifconfig
[07:00] <maxagaz> thanks
[07:04] <twb> jmarsden: itym "ip n"
[07:07] <jmarsden> twb: For a machine on the same subnet, sure, you can do that, if you remember all the ip subcommands.  I remember arp, it has been around longer and is portable to windows and old BSD boxes etc etc, which ip n is not.

[08:40] <Daviey> jamespage: I'm right in saying there is no point in a bouncycastle merge?

[08:40] <Daviey> groovy.
[08:41] <jamespage> I wanted to get the unit testing enablement back into debian - then we can just sync
[08:41] <jamespage> the changes that have been made in Debian are the last set of Ubuntu changes - but not all of them
[08:41] <Daviey> jamespage: ah, dandy
[08:48] <shal3r> How to enable remote root login on lucid? I'm getting "Please login as the ubuntu user rather than root user"
[08:49] <twb> shal3r: root logins are allowed by default.
[08:50] <twb> shal3r: you simply can't using single-factor authentication, because root doesn't have a password.
[08:57] <shal3r> twb, i know it's not allowed by default. I'm looking for way to enable it because i need to add this server to my backup system
[08:59] <twb> Use multi-factor auth.
[09:00] <Daviey> shal3r: check /etc/ssh/sshd_config for PermitRootLogin.
[09:02] <twb> Daviey: wait, isn't it without-password by default?
[09:03] <twb> Ah, as at lucid it is "PermitRootLogin yes" by default.
[09:03] <Daviey> twb: Yeah.. i'm assuming he's already set a passwd.
[09:04] <twb> So he SHOULD NOT set a password, but should instead use multi-factor auth (passphraseful SSH keys), since password-based authentication sucks donkey balls.
[09:04] <Daviey> agreed.
[09:05] <Daviey> !root | shal3r
[09:05] <Daviey> (i hate factoids btw)
[09:05] <twb> Daviey: they exist to save me retyping the same thing each time :-P
[09:05] <Daviey> \o/
[09:05] <maswan> twb: I'm not going to argue stronly for passphraseful ssh keys, since automation might want passphraseless keys. You just have to remember that security then is a strict tree, where anyone compromising the root will get control of all downstreams servers
[09:06] <Daviey> (ssh-agent)
[09:06] <twb> maswan: granted, although a passphraseless key is back to single-factor auth, i.e. you lose
[09:07] <Daviey> less of a loss than passwd based auth IMO.
[09:07] <twb> Now, fun fact
[09:07] <Daviey> ooo
[09:07]  * Daviey moves to the edge of his seat.
[09:07] <twb> If you have access to the private SSH key, you can brute force its passphrase as fast as you like, WITHOUT ever contacting any server that uses it in its authorized_keys file.
[09:08] <maswan> twb: If you are going to insist on two-factor auth, you should have two independent factors. Like ssh key to login and password to sudo, imho.
[09:08] <Daviey> maswan: tools like rsnapshot etc, i don't believe can use sudo.
[09:08] <shal3r> i'm using key file + IP filter for this
[09:10] <maswan> Daviey: Yeah, there are exceptions, especially when you need automated systems. But then the master server that has direct and automatic root access to all the clients should require strong auth (and not run any random vulnerable services either)
[09:11] <twb> Daviey: strictly, they can, but it's a fucking pain
[09:11] <twb> And probably even harder if their use of sudo wasn't NOPASSWD:
[09:13] <Daviey> interesting.. i should look at doing that.. i've always just used root for that.
[09:14]  * Daviey spies jamespage going on a Debian ITP spree.
[09:14] <jamespage> just catching up with myself :-)
[09:14] <twb> Daviey: I use root with rrsync

[09:16] <twb> (That's in ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys, you understand.)
[09:16] <Daviey> mendel_: There are 3 main types of people here, server developers and sysadmins; and those that cannot make up their mind and call themselves devops.  The combined knowledge here is enough to take over the world. so try,

[09:17] <twb> mendel_: this is a bad place to ask about proprietary solutions.
[09:18] <mendel_> but as server guys some of you must have experience with it.. that's why I try
[09:19] <twb> tesseract probably has its own channel, too
[09:33] <lynxman> Daviey: devops == can't make up their minds? hah :)
[09:38] <Daviey> lynxman: :)
[09:39] <lynxman> Daviey: I guess you're right... can't make my mind about it

[10:07] <jamespage> howz that?
[10:08]  * jamespage goes for coffee
[10:13] <Daviey> jamespage: I want a coffee.
[10:13] <Daviey> and a pony.
[10:13]  * jamespage gets his thermos out 
[10:13] <jamespage> could be a while tho - quite a few hours to your house :-)
[10:14] <jamespage> can't help with the pony
[10:17] <jamespage> lynxman: might not be to bad - rather a heated debate going on about systemd on debian-devel ATM
[10:17] <lynxman> jamespage: oh... systemd :)
[10:17] <jamespage> so my ITP's might not get that much attention
[10:17] <lynxman> jamespage: I need to subscribe to debian-devel, now that I think of

[10:22] <lynxman> RoyK: if you run "ps aux" it has a "Start" column that gives you a rough idea of the process start time
[10:23] <RoyK> ps -eo pid,lstart,cmd was a bit more precise :)
[10:23] <lynxman> MACscr: Xen drives will show as xvdaN as far as I know

[13:18] <utlemming> smoser: k, so we'll hit this after the block of meetings then
[13:18] <smoser> yeah
[13:18] <smoser> or... we can be ready and start it during.
[13:18] <smoser> the tests take a while to run
[13:19] <smoser> basically, try to have the tests ready to go, just waiting on the published-ec2-daily.txt file
[13:19] <utlemming> that sounds like a prudent plan
[13:25] <smb> smoser, hm... there seems to be hope that you get back xvda for oneiric. I think upstream just accepted that patch...
[13:26] <smb> (we just should be glad that ec2 does not use hda* for pvm...)
[13:27] <utlemming> smb: do you have the commit for that?
[13:28] <smb> utlemming, not yet. Just got an email from Konrad, saying he pulled two of my three patches
[14:14] <dassouki> where does ubuntu-server store mono ?
[14:15] <jpds> dassouki: /usr/lib/mono ?
[14:17] <dassouki> jpds: thanks i guess the issue is that the installer can't find it, and i'm trying to follow the suggestion to use pkg-configure to find it http://paste.pocoo.org/show/442216/

[15:42] <chris_99> could anyone explain the advantages of using LVM when installing
[15:42] <chris_99> or just using a std. filesystem
[15:42] <patdk-wk> heh?
[15:43] <patdk-wk> you can't compare those two
[15:43] <patdk-wk> the advantages of using LVM vs partitions, you can though
[15:43] <chris_99> sorry yeah
[15:43] <chris_99> vs. partitions i meant
[15:44] <patdk-wk> partitions have to be a continous solid chunk of disk space
[15:44] <patdk-wk> LVM it can be fragmented, split over several disks, or even moved between disks
[15:44] <patdk-wk> they can also be snapshot to make backup easier
[15:44] <chris_99> hmm, so theres no disadvantages to using
[15:44] <chris_99> like the FS's won't be any slower?
[15:45] <patdk-wk> another layer of indirection?
[15:45] <chris_99> yeah
[15:45] <patdk-wk> not measurably
[15:46] <patdk-wk> well, if you have snapshots existing, then it can noticably slow thing down
[15:49] <chris_99> i'm basically installing on several blades, each can only have one physical disk
[15:49] <chris_99> so maybe LVM isn't the best option in this case?
[15:52] <patdk-wk> hmm?
[15:52] <patdk-wk> using lvm or not, greatly depends what you plan to do with the system down the road
[15:53] <patdk-wk> do you need to make consistant backups of the fs? use lvm
[15:53] <patdk-wk> will you want to shrink/grow the size of it, use lvm
[15:53] <patdk-wk> otherwise, probably not worth using lvm
[15:53] <chris_99> i'll give it a shot, as i like the idea of making backups at specific time points
[15:54] <chris_99> will be interesting to learn a new tool anyway
[15:54] <chris_99> appreciate your advice!

[19:39] <philsf> hi, I'm used to installing debian and ubuntu on desktop-like hardware  and I'm trying to install on a DELL R710  for the first time. I'm puzzled that the four HDs appear as one device (sda) apparently set by hardware RAID. I'd like to manage each HD individually, how can I do that?
[19:40] <Riz> Via the raid utility
[19:40] <philsf> I'm familiar with mdadm, but I don't know how to access the hw raid
[19:40] <Riz> Watch the console as the server boots, it's ctrl+e or something like that
[19:40] <Riz> You can then manage your disks
[19:40] <Riz> Or isntall dell open manage
[19:41] <philsf> Riz, are you familiar with this set? is this the default?
[19:41] <Riz> Typically, unless otherwise stated. Dell will send the server preconfigured.
[19:41] <Riz> I'm not sure what they default to for the 710's...likely a raid 5 setup.
[19:42] <philsf> forgive my ignorance, what does this dell open manage do?
[19:42] <philsf> I don't think I have a manual, only some CDs, and no PDFs within
[19:43] <Riz> http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/svradmin/6.5/en/CLI/HTML/index.htm
[19:43] <Riz> Openmanage will let you work with the raid card, lets you do your virtual disks, replace drives and what not
[19:43] <Riz> with that said, it's far better to use hardware raid vs software
[19:43] <Riz> IMHO that is
[19:45] <philsf> and hw RAID is accessible through Ctrl-E in boot?
[19:45] <Riz> Something like that, watch the console, it'll tell y
[19:45] <Riz> a
[19:46] <philsf> it is, but it mostly let's me configure NIC stuff
[19:46] <philsf> iDRAC6 config utility, is that it?
[19:48] <Riz> yup
[19:48] <Riz> Erm, wait
[19:48] <philsf> oh, found it. It's Ctrl-R, instead
[19:48] <philsf> thanks!
[19:48] <Riz> no, iDRAC is your managment card, another very usefull thing
[19:48] <ppetraki> philsf, you'll see multiple "tabs" for virtual disks and physical disks
[19:49] <ppetraki> philsf, not the worlds greatest UI
[19:49] <philsf> ppetraki, yup, I see that now, in a tree-like UI
[19:49] <ppetraki> philsf, are you sure you want to do this?
[19:49] <philsf> ppetraki, why not? should I use all HDs as one single device?

[19:50] <ppetraki> philsf, well, if you have a sizable cache on the controller, performance, and if battery backed, data integrity
[19:51] <ppetraki> philsf, and dell will support you, soon as you say the words "MD" they'll give up on you
[19:51] <philsf> ppetraki, what if I need to remove one disk? how would I substititute it
[19:52] <adam_g> smoser: hey
[19:52] <ppetraki> philsf, the chassis has drive beaconing, it'll blink the bad disk for you
[19:52] <smoser> i'm looking at that first hunk
[19:52] <ppetraki> philsf, err, the slot that is
[19:52] <philsf> ppetraki, sorry, that's not what I meant
[19:52] <smoser> hostname = cloud.get_hostname()
[19:52] <philsf> with my mdadm background, I was planning to use the 4 available HDs in two batches of RAID1
[19:52] <adam_g> smoser: ok
[19:53] <smoser> if that was None, then wouldn't 'fqdn = cloud.get_hostname(fqdn=True)' == None?
[19:53] <ppetraki> philsf, sure ok
[19:53] <philsf> ppetraki, I was hoping I could do the same with the hw controller
[19:53] <ppetraki> philsf, it had better be able to do that :)
[19:53] <smoser> as the only way it returns None is if local-hostname isn't available
[19:54] <philsf> ppetraki, so what exactly are you recommending me *not* to do? I'm confused
[19:54] <philsf> ppetraki, not to use mdadm, you mean?
[19:54] <ppetraki> philsf, the question to ask is what do you gain from using md? To me the answer is "portability".
[19:55] <smoser> oh. wait. i'm reading it wrong, adam_g
[19:55] <smoser> sorry
[19:55] <adam_g> smoser: fqdn = cloud.get_hostname(fqdn=True) only when local-hostname is available, otherwise use other means
[19:55] <philsf> ppetraki, I will gladly use whatever controller Dell wants me to use. I just don't like this default linear config
[19:55] <ppetraki> philsf, oh, I didn't know it was linear, that controller should atleast be able to do RAID 0/1
[19:55] <philsf> sorry, raid5
[19:56] <smoser> so then my only sisue at this point, adam_g is that local-hostname on eucalyptus is an ip address
[19:56] <philsf> ppetraki, what I have now is 4x140GB disks, and 1x408GB raid5 virtual drive
[19:57] <lifeless> SpamapS: hi
[19:57] <ppetraki> philsf, *looking up specs*
[19:57] <philsf> I can't tell from this config utility if this already has mirroring configured for the disks
[19:58] <ppetraki> philsf, so which PERC do you have?
[19:58] <adam_g> smoser: is it an ip or a string constructed like ip-192-168-5-1?
[19:58] <smoser> an IP
[19:58] <smoser> which is then turned into a string by cloud-init
[19:58] <philsf> ppetraki, perc i/6
[19:58] <smoser> (right after your 'if fqdn' statment)
[19:59] <ppetraki> philsf, ah ok
[19:59] <ppetraki> philsf, so it appears to support every RAID level under the sun
[20:00] <ppetraki> philsf, and has 256M cache
[20:00] <adam_g> smoser: sec
[20:00] <philsf> good. I know raid5 allows mirroring, but I never used it. does it always have mirroring, or is it optional?
[20:01] <ppetraki> philsf, RAID5 is distributed parity, can tolerate 1 fault and operate in a degraded state
[20:01] <adam_g> smoser: better? http://paste.ubuntu.com/647593/
[20:02] <adam_g> smoser: actually, ill rework it in a bit
[20:02] <philsf> hmm, I think I know understand how this is broken down: 4x140GB disks would totalize 560GB, but I have a 408GB virtual disk. that leaves around 150GB for a parity "disk" and probably some hidden rescue partitions
[20:02] <philsf> does that sound correct?
[20:03] <ppetraki> philsf, it really depends on your application, do you value read perf over write perf?
[20:03] <ppetraki> yup
[20:04] <philsf> ppetraki, TBH I don't expect much traffic here, so I'll probably operate on very low demand, given the cpu availability
[20:04] <philsf> ppetraki, this will become some mail and webservers, mostly
[20:05] <philsf> I'd like good write performance, for mail access and maybe an FTP/SMB in a forseable future
[20:05] <philsf> ppetraki, does that mean I should trade raid5 for, say, raid1?
[20:05] <ppetraki> philsf, then I'd take RAID 10 over 5
[20:06] <philsf> ppetraki, and will Dell support frown if I change this default?
[20:08] <lifeless> SpamapS: I have a call with flacoste now, then Lynne and I go see the midwife from 930 (its 800 now) till 1030. Anytime outside those constraints.
[20:08] <ppetraki> philsf, perhaps, a RAID 10 is considered a "mirrored strip" or RAID 0 + 1. So you could concat two of your disks, and mirror them, giving you 280G
[20:09] <ppetraki> philsf, RAID 1 would limit you to the size of the physical disk, so 140G mirrored. Do you have any spares?
[20:09] <ppetraki> philsf, ideally this should be planned around a spare or two, resident in the chassis. Unless you like running down to the datacenter :-)
[20:10] <RoAkSoAx> Daviey: haven't yet worked on them I'm working on ensemble atm
[20:10] <ppetraki> philsf, the easiest config to manage would be a RAID 1 (140G) with two hotspares
[20:11] <ppetraki> philsf, I'm pretty sure the dell firmware automagically puts the spare into service, check the docs
[20:11] <RoAkSoAx> Daviey: i wanna finish some stuff with ensemble first and then will look at the cobbler stuff
[20:12] <ppetraki> philsf, also, when you go the vdisk route, the firmware will watch for physical disk problems and report back via the admin tool. less work for you
[20:12] <Daviey> RoAkSoAx: okay.. great stuff.
[20:12] <philsf> ppetraki, sounds brilliant
[20:12] <ppetraki> philsf, and you get to know which disk is in which slot :-), unless you plan to write serial numbers down on the front of each cage
[20:12] <philsf> goodbye mdadm :)
[20:13] <ppetraki> philsf, at least in this case, I love it and it has its place
[20:13] <philsf> ppetraki, as I said earlier, I don't think the performance demand will require much fiddling, for me to choose raid 10 over 5. and this default setup seems sound and provides me the best space offer for the buck
[20:14] <philsf> ppetraki, I was just worried that it might be raid0, with no mirror, but I hadn't done the math then.
[20:15] <philsf> ppetraki, thanks very much for the clarifications, and the pointers
[20:15] <ppetraki> philsf, Dell usually defaults to some sort of HA setup, better to provide "safe" defaults then get a customer call about lost data
[20:16] <philsf> will see now the link on performance
[20:17] <philsf> hmm, writes are really much faster. sounds good to me
[20:19] <jnsl_> this might be more of a apache question, but nonetheless.. can i rewrite urls in a folder from site.com to site-com ?
[20:20] <philsf> ppetraki, thanks again, will sleep on all that

[20:42] <uvirtbot`> Launchpad bug 802985 in eglibc "[lucid] /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 399: arithmetic expression: expecting EOF: "3.0-0-generic"" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/802985
[20:43] <smoser> adam_g, http://paste.ubuntu.com/647621/
[20:43] <lifeless> if we can't build a lucid container in oneiric, we'll be rather wedged lxc wise in the Launchpad team
[20:44] <smoser> but i wonder if we should not just have the cloud do the platform.node() magic
[20:46] <hallyn> lifeless: cjwatson had mentioned a few, I can't remember which was the most palatable
[20:47] <hallyn> lifeless: I guess I've just been creating lucid containers under natty instead :(
[20:48] <lifeless> is there some escalation process I should use to say 'this is going to be very important to us' ?
[20:48] <hallyn> lifeless: ping cjwatson and bump the debootstrap bug up to critical?
[20:49] <lifeless> doing in -devel
[20:49] <hallyn> cool
[20:49] <hallyn> stgraber: are you around by chance?
[20:49] <stgraber> hallyn: yep
[20:50] <hallyn> stgraber: would you mind, when you get a chance, sanity-checking my debdiff for lxc on bug 813075 ?
[20:50] <uvirtbot`> Launchpad bug 813075 in lxc "lxcguest should provide a way to tell if this is lxc container" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/813075
[20:51] <hallyn> stgraber: mainly worried about tossing in lots of new names in the upstart job namespace and in /usr/bin
[20:51] <hallyn> but i think it's overall a very useful feature, so probably worth it
[20:51] <hallyn> everyone wants to know if they're in the matrix
[20:51] <lifeless> red pill, blue pill
[20:53] <stgraber> hallyn: you could probably use "grep -q" but other than that, looks good
[20:54] <stgraber> my current way of doing it is: [ -f "/proc/1/cgroup" ] && grep -vq "/$" /proc/1/cgroup && echo "It's lxc"
[20:54] <stgraber> but it's not always true :)
[20:55] <hallyn> stgraber: right, my main complaint about that is that initramfs or systemd can screw you :)
[20:55] <hallyn> grep -q.  feh i always forget about that :)
[20:55] <hallyn> stgraber: cool, thanks.  Would you mind sponsoring that too?  :)
[20:56] <hallyn> oh,
[20:56] <hallyn> oh nm
[20:57] <stgraber> hallyn: yep, I can sponsor it
[20:58] <hallyn> stgraber: thanks!  the whole shebang with using grep -q is at http://people.canonical.com/~serge/lxc_0.7.4.2-0.3ubuntu4-package
[21:00] <stgraber> hallyn: just wondering, did you check that lxc-is-container is executable?
[21:00] <hallyn> i tested on an ec2 instance...
[21:01] <hallyn> should that being enforced by the packaging?
[21:02] <hallyn> (actuall, i'm guessing that dh_install already makes sure anything in usr/bin gets +x, but i could be wrong)
[21:02] <stgraber> yeah, that's the bit I'm not too sure about :) checking here quickly
[21:06] <stgraber> hallyn: uploaded
[21:07] <hallyn> stgraber: thanks!
[21:08] <hallyn> i must run for a bit, bbl
[21:10] <smoser> adam_g, could you try: http://paste.ubuntu.com/647637/
[21:10] <smoser> and sanity check that too?
[21:13] <adam_g> smoser: sorry, was at lunch.
[21:13] <adam_g> ill test it now
[21:14] <smoser> yeah, take alook
[21:14] <smoser> i will look later or tomororw
[21:41] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: ping?
[21:41] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: pong!
[21:41] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: howdy!! I seek your advice and help with a postrm in cobbler
[21:42] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: heh, sure
[21:42] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: should i branch the latest code?
[21:42] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: i don't think it would be necessary :)
[21:42] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: okay, hit me
[21:43] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: so when purging the package it fails as per bug #805901
[21:43] <uvirtbot`> Launchpad bug 805901 in cobbler "cobbler failed to purge" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/805901
[21:43] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: I changed the cobbler.postrm to:http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/647663/
[21:44] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: however, now it doesn't fail, but it gets stuck and does not return
[21:44] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: log setting -x: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/647661/
[21:45] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: any ideas of why it might be?
[21:46] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: your set -x log looks like it completed, no?
[21:46] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: yes, the set -x log looks like completed, but never returns
[21:46] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: this is what is in /var/lib/dpkd/info/cobbler.postrm : http://paste.ubuntu.com/647664/
[21:47] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: lines 5 and 22 are redundant
[21:48] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: so i don't think you need lines 5 and 6
[21:49] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: if I don't set lines 5 and 6 it fails as per the bug description
[21:49] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: erm
[21:51] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: seems like apache2 is the problem
[21:51] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: i just killed apache processes and the removal resumed
[21:51] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: hmm
[21:51] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: missing configuration?
[21:51] <RoAkSoAx> but got stuck again in "Building database of manual pages ..."
[21:52] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: might be indeed
[21:52] <TREllis> Daviey: have you connected glance to swift before?
[21:53] <TREllis> bah 11pm in the UK
[21:53] <TREllis> anyone setup glance connected to swift backend before?
[21:54] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: yeah it is apache's problem
[22:02] <TREllis> sorted it, no worries
[22:03] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: I think we don't even really need cobbler
[22:04] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: heh, what do you propose in place of cobbler?
[22:05] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: err I meant "cobbler.postrm"
[22:05] <RoAkSoAx> :)
[22:05] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: as it's only there to restart apache, but cobbler binary itself doesn't mess with apache2. Cobbler-web does though
[22:07] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: heh :-)
[22:07] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: right
[22:07] <kirkland> RoAkSoAx: i'd agree witht hat
[22:10] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: hehe
[22:43] <hggdh> hallyn, adam_g: is the test rig available?
[22:44] <hggdh> (need to test UEC on Lucid)
[23:13] <quentusrex> Anyone know of a way to test the system memory without rebooting the machine?
[23:14] <quentusrex> I have a remote box that seems to have faulty memory, but I need to know before I go to the datacenter if it is the memory or if the system has other problems.
[23:15] <lifeless> SpamapS: yo
[23:21] <SpamapS> lifeless: howdy
[23:22] <lifeless> SpamapS: is it too late for you ?
[23:22] <lifeless> midwife ran late; ended up asking for a statistical analysis of $various $options
[23:23] <SpamapS> lifeless: not at all, I've got about 45 min left

[23:24] <r4___> im running clonezilla SE on ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32bit machine, i created an image of ubuntu 11.04 64-bit. when i restore the image, the machine cannot boot...(writing what happens)
[23:24] <r4___> what happens when i try to boot...a really fast msg pops up on the screen that reads "error: file not found" and goes away
[23:25] <r4___> i suspect it's a grub problem with the mbr
[23:25] <r4___> because when the image is restored, it tries to install grub from the restored OS but fails and installs grub from the running OS clonezilla SE provides
[23:25] <r4___> i feel that since clonezilla is running a 32bit OS and the image is a 64bit OS that it causes a problem
[23:25] <r4___> does this sound reasonable or could it be something else?
[23:30] <jMCg> r4___: "feel" and "reasonable" doesn't "feel right"
[23:31] <r4___> jMCg: i was right..reinstalled grub from a live enviroment and it booted :)
[23:31] <r4___> crappy issue though... :(
[23:52] <r4___> Does ubuntu 10.04 LTS use grub or grub2?
[23:52] <TenKTech> 2
[23:53] <twb> d-i still asks you with priority=low, but if you ask for grub it pulls in the upgrade compat package :-/
[23:53] <twb> (As at lucid, I mean.)
[23:54] <r4___> hrm...odd issue nontheless.
[23:54] <twb> r4___: perhaps if you described it...
[23:54] <r4___> read up
[23:54] <r4___> oh sorry
[23:54] <r4___> you just joined
[23:55] <twb> Ah, sorry.
[23:55] <twb> Can you pastebin or /msg me the scrollback?
[23:56] <r4___> sure can
[23:58] <r4___> check query
[23:59] <twb> OK; AFAIK grub doesn't care if the OS is 32 or 64-bit.  If the versions in lucid and clonezilla are very different, that could cause problems.  It would be useful to know if (the installed) grub is configured to not display anything, as is the lucid default -- you have to hit shift at exactly the right time to get it to display anything.
[23:59] <twb> Most likely I think is just that clonezilla installed grub incorrectly.
