lynxmanzroysch: yeah I think00:01
lynxmanSpamapS: ping, whenever you have 5 mins, upstart question00:01
cjs226anyone setup nat on an ec2 instance?00:02
SpamapSlynxman: fire away, but I really do only have 5 minutes00:02
lynxmanSpamapS: cool, will take 3 :)00:03
lynxmanSpamapS: trying to setup an upstart job for a process that was using an init.d wrapper, and I need to user the wrapper (it's python calling to internal functions)00:03
SpamapSlynxman: you can have an upstart job with no actual running process to track.. just use pre-start to call the 'thing start' and pre-stop to call the 'thing stop'00:05
lynxmanSpamapS: like this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/667787/00:05
lynxmanSpamapS: smoser suggested the expect fork, right now the upstart job hangs indefinitely as it is, I guess it's due to that00:05
SpamapSFor that, I'd just drop the expect fork, and move the script to pre-start script00:06
SpamapSThe upstart job will work like a place holder for boot/shutdown...00:06
SpamapSbut otherwise will get out of the way.00:06
lynxmanSpamapS: cool, was just a bit concerned of using pre-start instead of start00:06
lynxmanSpamapS: thanks :)00:06
SpamapSlynxman: its a little obtuse, but works wonders for getting things into upstart without fully migrating them. :)00:08
SpamapSbtw, your start on is *WAY* too verbose00:08
SpamapSjust start on runlevel [2345]00:08
lynxmanSpamapS: hehe yeah we were discussing it with smoser last Friday so I wanted to be safe00:08
SpamapSboth of those events are guaranteed to happen before runlevel 200:08
lynxmanSpamapS: cool, will reduce that as well00:08
SpamapSplus this way when you go from runlevel 1 -> 2 .. it will actually get started back up.00:09
smoserso what does 'status' show for a job that has no job ?00:09
lynxmanSpamapS: neat00:09
lynxmansmoser: I guess "nothing to see here, move along"00:10
smoserand why would you not want upstart to correctly track a pid ?00:10
smoserhow would it know if the thing died ?00:10
SpamapSsmoser: its start/running but no pid00:10
smoseri'm generally curious00:10
smosergenerally and genuinely00:10
SpamapSsmoser: because upstart cannot correctly track most pids00:10
SpamapSThey've come up with a good plan for that finally.00:10
lynxmanSpamapS: when are we switching to systemd?00:11
* lynxman hides00:11
SpamapSinstead of 'expect fork' it will be 'expect exit' .. which will watch for the parent's fork, but then wait for it to exit.00:11
zroyschlynxman:  http://pastebin.com/kWFtcb3000:11
SpamapSsmoser: tracking pids is over rated, some services actually do it all by themselves. ;)00:12
SpamapSanyway00:12
SpamapSI'm late.. good luck!00:12
lynxmanzroysch: out of ideas then, you definitely have something weird going on there...00:15
zroyschwell i do have the data backed up00:15
zroyschi guess i could just start over from scratch00:15
lynxmanzroysch: if that's an available option I would go for it, and make both fd this time ;)00:16
lynxmanzroysch: software raid gets confused way too easily00:16
zroyschlynxman: i've never run into this problem before.00:28
lynxmanzroysch: me neither :)00:30

JRWRHaving a issue with nginx 1.0.5, php-fcgi with php-fpm over a socket is using its cache a little to aggressive, it seems that ALL requests are being send to the same file, which is the one cache file that was made with the first request, my configs http://pastebin.com/RND2E9fY http://pastebin.com/vxbHZf3W http://pastebin.com/xKaKAAgH01:06
twbIs your PHP app sending the appropriate cache-related header fields?01:06
JRWRmy first test was apc.php01:07
JRWRbut if i do apc.php first01:07
JRWRthen do test.php01:07
JRWRit will show what apc.php sent to nginx01:07
twbDunno, then01:07
twbYou could try #nginx and/or ##php, too01:08
JRWRhttp://survivorzero.com:82/apc.php then http://survivorzero.com:82/test.php01:08
JRWRtest.php doesnt exist01:08
JRWRand its showing the contents from apc.php01:08
twbhttp://paste.debian.net/126447/01:09
JRWRis the only cache file01:11
JRWRhttp://pastebin.com/aLkPwh8p01:11
JRWRno matter what you call it will serve that file01:11
JRWRwhats fun is that d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e = md5("")01:12
JRWRthats the hash its stored in the cache01:12
JRWRso... i dont think the cache has a clue to what the request URI is01:12

NCommanderhallyn: ping, I think there's a serious problem with your cgroups/lxc03:45
NCommander^implementation03:45
uvirtbotNCommander: Error: "implementation" is not a valid command.03:45
* NCommander facepalms03:46
lifelessNCommander: whats aup?03:46
NCommanderlifeless: so lxc uses/requires cgroups to make sure containers are separate from each other, right?03:46
lifelessyes03:47
lifelesskey component of the implementation03:47
NCommanderlifeless: right, but then why does LXC work if cgorup namespaces are unavailable? (they were removed with 39(?))03:47
lifelesshttp://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=a77aea92010acf54ad785047234418d5d68772e2 ?03:48
NCommanderThe replacement is clone_process, but that's not enabled by default and there's no way to get cgroups to use them with cgconfigparser03:48
NCommanderlifeless: as it stands, I think cgroups aren't being properly used, but LXC doesn't emit a warning or error (aside from a misleading message in lxc-checkconfig)03:49
lifelesshmmm03:49
lifelessI think this is out of my expertise ;)03:49
NCommander(this is true on i386/amd64 as well)03:50
twblxc is just a thin shim around cgroups03:50
lifelessso I think ns_cgroup isn't needed03:50
NCommandertwb: right, but namespaces areno longer available03:50
lifelessand never really was, it was a convenience03:50
twbBut a default lxc configuration will not virtualize much at all -- e.g. no namespace (containerization) for the filesystem, network stack, etc.03:50
NCommanderlifeless: no, they were replaced with clone_instance03:50
NCommanderwhichis a mounting option when you create the cgroup (there is no way ot specify the necessary flag via cgconigparser)03:51
lifelessI see your point03:51
lifelesslike I say, we've reached the edge of know-how.03:51
NCommandertwb: lxc-checkconfig says namespaces are 'required' although if clone instances are enabled, it says 'enabled' with a new line03:51
lifelessNCommander: can you file a bug @ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc ?03:52
lifelessNCommander: serge is pretty active there03:52
NCommanderlxc-stop appears to be broken like this03:52
twblxc-stop is probably broken for unrelated reasons03:52
NCommandertwb: lxc-stop works properly if clone_children is set on the cgroup instances03:53
twbOf course my experience is limited to .32 so I may be talking bullshit03:53
lifelessNCommander: thats extremely interesting03:53
NCommanderI got lxc-stop to work after a few tries. No idea why03:57
lifelessNCommander: so it 'works' first time for me, always has (though it whines but actually does its  thing)04:01
lifelessNCommander: but the lack fo power-off means that processes don't go down quite as they might expect04:01

rickjaruizslow server 10.04 in hyper-v vm, can anyone help?05:49
rickjaruiznvm, thank you google05:57
twbrickjaruiz: what was the issue?06:03
twbRather, what was the cause and the fix06:03
rickjaruizdisable the frame buffer module: edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf and add the following line:  blacklist vga16fb06:04
rickjaruizevery line to be drawn for a page refresh06:05
twbGod damn I hate that module06:05
twbAnd I hate that it's on by default06:05
twbAll it gives you is 80x30 instead of 80x25, it's not even useful when it DOES work :-/06:05
rickjaruizanyway to turn off before installation?06:06
twbrickjaruiz: during lucid install, no.  Post-install and I *think* in newer d-i installs, yes06:06
rickjaruizor during installation06:06
twbThere's a bug in the lucid installer that prevents all documented techniques from working06:06
rickjaruizyeah it makes install take twice as long06:06
twbOh, also of course you can do the install via serial instead of VGA06:06
rickjaruiz11.04 installed in 10 minutes and 10.04 installed in 2006:06
rickjaruizim running it as a virtual machine in hyper-v06:07
twbIf Microsoft's virtualization technology can't emulate a COM port, it ought to be scrapped.06:07
rickjaruizhow can i get a remote gui file access?06:08
twbI don't know or care; GUIs are not a server issue.06:08
rickjaruizor whats a good way to transfer files between serveres06:08
rickjaruizi new to linu06:08
rickjaruizlinux06:08
twbSFTP.06:09
rickjaruizhow do u install in server?06:09
twbOr scp, which is pretty much the same thing.06:09
twbBoth are components of SSH06:09
rickjaruizso just udo apt-get install openssh-server?06:09
rickjaruiz*sudo06:09
twbrickjaruiz: if you have not already done so, you should read the ubuntu server guide (mentioned in /topic)06:09
twbrickjaruiz: yes.06:09
rickjaruizi mgoing through it and asking questions at the same time06:10
rickjaruizhelps me remember06:10
twbOK06:12
rickjaruizbut yeah so much to learn from that guide06:12
rickjaruizi have to take it in sections06:12

KE1HAIs there any known problems / bugs affecting 11.04-Server and Samba? I've been tryng to setup a simple share for hour, and its just not happening, even with SWAT06:37
Gxt4Evening.. Is there a way to have initrd get all ip's from dhcp servers before doing it's iscsistart ?06:41

ttxDaviey: about my rootwrap, I think I'll have to defer to Essex, I'm a bit busy atm07:23
ttxDaviey: on the plus side, this will allow to generally discuss security improvements at ODS07:24
ttxDaviey: and nobody strictly asked for it in MIRs afaict07:24
ttxDaviey: thoughts ?07:24
Davieyttx: Well nova MIR hasn't been ack'd yet07:26
ttxDaviey: sure but that wasn't part of it -- anyway, I commit to doing it for Essex, so would be in LTS07:26
DavieyBut yes, apparmour and sudo limitation seemed more favourable to me, but i understood i was overuled on that.07:26
Davieyttx: How much work is involved forking what we had before?07:27
ttxDaviey: I'm almost done with the wrapper -- the devil being in the "almost"07:27
ttxDaviey: also I feel a bit uncomfortable pushing it now07:27
Davieyttx: Having the proof-of-concept published somewhere would allow it to be mentioned in docs.07:28
ttxDaviey: first shot is at https://code.launchpad.net/~ttx/nova/privsep207:28
ttxbut I can't really spend more time on it this week(s), and would like to have it properly testcased07:29
ttxso to do it right, I need more time -- and that time would allow us to discuss how to do it07:29
Davieyttx: Where will this live eventually, packaging branch? contrib/ in upstream or a core part of upstream?07:29
RoyKmorning07:30
Davieyhey RoyK07:30
ttxDaviey: if we follow what I started, it will live in bin/nova-rootwrap in nova + contrib filter files in Nova.07:30
ttxagain, some discussion around it at ODS sounds like a good idea07:31
ttxI need to work on the registration site now07:31
Davieyttx: Why did you start it from scratch?07:31
ttxDaviey: as opposed to ?07:31
Davieyforking what we used to use07:31
=== Guest69853 is now known as Ard1t
ttx(1) because there is no way I can write security code in C right and (2) I'd like it to live in Nova07:32
Davieyok, thanks07:32
ttxso that someone adding a sudo command can fix the file07:32
Davieyttx: Thanks for letting me know.07:32
ttxDaviey: that was the result of a discussion with mdeslaur, fwiw07:32
ttxanyway, I prefer not to rush security code :)07:33
Davieyi'll catch up with mdeslaur regarding this, hopefully today.07:33
ttxDaviey: I think it's better to discuss how it's best done, and implement it with plenty of safeguards in essex07:34
Davieyttx: yah07:34
ttxrather than adding one more branch merge proposal to our FF queue07:34
ttx(deadline for feature merges being Monday)07:34
ttxIf I had one more week I would probably have done it07:34

eagles0513875hey guys what is needed to do a remote network installation07:49
Davieyeagles0513875: a good preseed :)08:06
eagles0513875? meaning what08:06
Davieyeagles0513875: entirely hands off, or over SSH>08:06
Daviey?08:07
eagles0513875over ssh08:07
Davieyhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OverSSH08:07
Daviey^^ not the best way IMO.08:07
uvirtbotDaviey: Error: "^" is not a valid command.08:07
Davieyhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetworkConsole <-- much better08:08
eagles0513875humm ok08:08
eagles0513875i just dont want to migrate my keyboard nad monitor over to my room where my server is at hence why im askin08:09
eagles0513875Daviey: so i boot the iso or the bootable usb on the machien im currently on right then follow the steps from there?08:10
Davieyeagles0513875: If you are doing this for the first time, and mainly doing it to save time.. you are better off moving the monitor and keyboard.08:11
eagles0513875ok08:11
eagles0513875:-/08:11
twbDaviey: why, because of the 1:1 correspondence with the udeb name?08:12
twbOh, nm, those articles are different.  Thought you were discussing the name of the article08:13
eagles0513875hehe08:14
twbThe overssh version is a pita08:14
eagles0513875last question guys i need to back up my current email server which is running dovecot postfix and spamassassin08:14
twbBetter off just put the mini.iso kernel and ramdisk and preseed in the /boot of the unix system you want to blow away08:14
eagles0513875thing is i need to change disks i bought 2x1tb hdds for raid08:15
Davieytwb: Yeah, suggesting against debootstrap - in favour of using the ssh support within d-i08:15
eagles0513875in regards to my question above relating to email08:15
twbThen you reboot, pick d-i from the grub menu, and it'll load into RAM.  At that point, you have everything in RAM and can blow away the HDD you booted from08:15
eagles0513875i just need to backup the postfix conf file the dovecot config and spamassassin config maildir correct and i should be fine08:15
twbdebootstrap has a whole bunch of hairy edge cases like creating /etc/hosts, and it's a PITA to remember all of them08:15
twbAnd if you're using grub, that's a bloody huge nightmare to install via a chroot, unlike extlinux08:16
greppyeagles0513875: as a general rule, I would back up all of /etc, tar -cfp etc.tar /etc, then save the .tar file where you can get to it.08:18
eagles0513875greppy: why though?08:18
eagles0513875guess it woudlnt hurt08:18
eagles0513875wouldnt08:18
greppybecause there have been times when I have remembered that I needed something AFTER I wiped the disk :)08:19
eagles0513875this disk isnt getting whiped08:19
eagles0513875its going into storage08:19
eagles0513875atm my server only has one 750 hdd08:19
greppyand having groups/passwd/shadow, etc backed up is handy08:19
eagles0513875im putting in or hoping to put in 2x1tb hdd raid 108:19
eagles0513875agreed08:20
eagles0513875:) thanks for your input greppy :)08:20
greppy*nod* still easier to have a tar ball of all of /etc instead of having to shove the drive into another system to get data off of it.08:20
eagles0513875im gonna take my server offline for a sec to check something08:20
eagles0513875guys is it easy to setup raid if i add a 2nd hdd at a later point in time08:38
philipballewwhat option after ifconfig shows me all avaible interfaces not just the up ones08:39
_rubenphilipballew: don't use ifconfig, it's been depreciated for ages, use the 'ip' command instead .. 'ip link' for all interfaces, 'ip address' for all ip addresses on thos einterfaces, 'ip route' for all routes, etc08:54
_ruben'ip help' and 'man ip' for more info :)08:54
philipballew_ruben, ive never even herd of that command. its better?08:54
eagles0513875_ruben: havent heard of that command either08:55
_ruben'ip' offers way more options than 'ifconfig' and is less braindead .. ifconfig for instance can't see multiple ip addresses per interface, only ip aliases, which basically are a nasty workaround to the actual problem08:57
ikoniaifconfig can see multiple interfaces per interface, no problem09:00
twbip's easier to read, too09:03
_rubenmultiple interfaces per interface ? :)09:03
twbhttp://paste.debian.net/126482/09:04
_rubennice example of flaws: http://paste.ubuntu.com/668056/09:04
twbYep09:05
philipballewthis conversation is still goin?09:05
philipballewnice!09:05
twbifconfig's only good feature is that it's available on SUS systems you might have to deal with09:06
twbLike say SCO or Solaris09:06
twbAlthough ISTR they don't have a route(8) that does what you expect, for some reason that functionality is in netstat(8)09:07
_rubentwb: hence lots of people using netstat -r on linxu as well :)09:33
ikoniaI still use netstat -rn for things like the routing table09:33
_rubenyuck09:34
_ruben`ip r` is so much shorter to type and cleaner output-wise :)09:34
ikonianetstat is clean enough and works on all the platforms I use as a standard format09:35
_rubenand netstat -rn is semi-braindead too, doesnt list source ip address for instance :)09:35
_rubenthen again, to each his own :)09:35

mrryanjohnston_ah, it seems like /etc/resolv.conf is getting re-written12:51

smbzul, so today (not sure whether it is because its Wednesday or because I pulled int the virt-host task which added libvirt-bin) bonding comes up ok, though the pbond0 that used to be created is not. PVM seems ok with net. HVM started with xm does fail/hang early trying to do large order allocations of some kind. Started with xl comes up to the point where the IDE emulation wait and resets itself endlessly...14:20

uvirtbotNew bug: #828047 in postfix (main) "postfix init script copies smtp_tls_CApath /etc/ssl/certs to /var/spool/postfix/etc/ssl/certs/etc/ssl/certs" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/82804714:26
CrazyGirhello! I have a 11.04, kvm based VM server with a handful of VMs running. Some should only be accessible via a private network, but not externally addressable, others should get external IPs routed through the VM server. I have the private net working fine (though I did not set this up), and I have seen other systems with a bridge interface setup to allow VMs the ability to hop on the external network/subnet and get DNS pointing at them direct14:33
CrazyGirI'm not sure I fully understand how the bridge and VM server ought to be setup to allow for that14:33
* patdk-wk uses bridges for all of that, private and non-private14:33
CrazyGirguidance / topics to research / etc are all appreciated14:33
CrazyGirpatdk-wk: could you give me an example? is this all configured in /etc/network/interfaces?14:34
CrazyGiror is there VM configuration as well (aside from a VM having brX as its source?)14:34
patdk-wkin my case no, I did it manually14:34
CrazyGirhow do you mean?14:34
patdk-wkvm's would never have a brX14:35
CrazyGirnot as a source if?14:35
patdk-wkmanually = not using a script14:35
CrazyGirpatdk-wk: would you consider /etc/network/interfaces a script?14:35
patdk-wkcrazygir, /etc/network/interfaces is a config for a script, so yes, it's using a script14:36
CrazyGirdoes that configuration (your manual method) persist across reboots?14:36
CrazyGirdo you use puppet for system management at all?14:36
CrazyGircause I don't really see that working if you are leveraging puppet14:36
CrazyGirthat said, I would be curious how you did it14:37
CrazyGirI'm sure I can figure out how that translates14:37
patdk-wkwho said I used puppet?14:37
CrazyGirI'm just going into uncharted territory at this point and unsure how the pieces I understand connect14:37
patdk-wkI don't think puppet even existed in 8.0414:37
patdk-wkit seems to be documented pretty good in the manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking14:37
CrazyGirI didn't say you did, I asked if you did14:37
CrazyGirso using bridges is the way to do this?14:39
patdk-wkusing bridges is an easy way to do it14:39
UrsinhaDaviey: would you be able to generate the list of bugs we have in http://status.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/ubuntu-server/release-bugs.html other than using tags?14:39
patdk-wkdunno if it's the best for your case or not, but generally it's simple and easy, and repeatable14:39
* CrazyGir nods14:39
patdk-wkif you just think of each bridge as a seperate switch14:39
patdk-wkand you plug the vm's into those switchs (bridges)14:39
CrazyGirfantastic, I'll dig a little deeper here and see how well this will fit14:40
CrazyGiryea, that makes sense14:40
CrazyGirbut how to create that in linux does not always make as much sense to me14:40
CrazyGirI would be able to work my way through most all of this setup on OpenBSD with the manpages only14:40
CrazyGirthat doesn't happen in linux for me for some reason :)14:41
* CrazyGir shrug14:41
CrazyGireither way, I'll see where this gets me, thanks patdk-wk14:41
Gxt4the moment i add a second NIC to a system that boots over iscsi , initrd screws me over.  are there docs somewhere on how to force initrd to either pause till both my nics have an ip before continuing with iscsi , or force it to only start "iscsistart" when a particular nic has an ip.14:41
Gxt4i have tried scsi-if=ethX14:42
Gxt4but nada14:42
Gxt4if i stick in the cable in the second nic it's broken.14:43
patdk-wkheh14:43
Gxt4i have tried 3 different systems btw14:43
patdk-wksecond nic was added after the first one? and is normally called eth1?14:43
Gxt4it's the same14:43
Gxt4if i install with eth0 or eth 1 as a primary14:44
Gxt4or if i do an install with only 1 and then add it later14:44
Gxt4even if ubuntu server is instyaled and configured with only 1 nic , the moment i add the second and it has a cable , it fucks up in initrd14:45
Gxt4it gets an ip for the other nic14:45
Gxt4and tried to contact my target14:45
Gxt4through the other interface14:45
CrazyGirouch14:45
Gxt4which is on another subnet and has no iscsi targets14:46
patdk-wkguess the iscsi script grabs first to get dhcp working14:46
patdk-wkdunno, would have to check the iscsi initrd scripts14:46
Gxt4it should wait till all nics are up ..14:47
CrazyGir     you could have it run last?14:47
Gxt4what do you mean Crazy ?14:48
Gxt4Yes , it all works peachy on all systems untill i stick in another card14:48
patdk-wkgxt4, not really, it should know what one is used for iscsi maybe14:48
Gxt4brands?14:48
hallynDaviey: is libcgroup not in the list of packages server team watches?  I don't see new bugs announced here by the bot...14:48
zulsmb: cool i hope to get to it next week at a conference this week14:48
Gxt4well yes14:48
Gxt4@patdk-wk initrd should keep a record of which nic the target is on14:49
smbzul, ack14:49
Gxt4@patdk-wk aparently it doesn't ..14:50
CrazyGirGxt4: can you do a static network configuration14:50
Davieyhallyn: no.. not as yet, you think it should be?14:50
Gxt4@crazy once it's past initrd it's all peachy14:50
Gxt4@ i can configure ip's via dhcp or fixed then14:51
CrazyGirdunno, I'm not a ubuntu guru14:51
Gxt4@ the problems are before os is loaded14:51

Davieyhallyn: The rest of us will no doubt have NFI how to triage those issues.14:54
hallynDaviey: when it breaks it can break your whole openstack/uec/ensemble/whatever stack...  it definately seems server related to me.14:55

hallyni have a few more reboot tests to do, biab14:56
Davieyhallyn: added14:57
hallynDaviey: tbh my sense is that libcgroup has fundamental flaws, and for our deafults we would be better off with a simple upstart job that mounts the cgroups14:58
hallynmaybe i should discuss on -devel...14:58
smoserhallyn, did you not author that ?14:58

hallynoh, you mean it *should* be15:01
Davieyhallyn: the flaws and perhaps an upstart job.15:01
hallynok15:02
Davieyhallyn: really your judgement on this matters more than mine, is it too late in the cycle to look at switching?15:03
Davieybased on reward/gain, potential instability and work we already have pending15:03
hallynDaviey: its' past FFE at any rate :).  I don't see where the cgroup-lite package could cause instability, and15:04
hallynI can see a lot of time being spent working around cgroup-bin issues.  And since lxc now depends on it, that tiem will have to be spent15:04
Davieyhallyn: it's not past FFE :)  it's past FF, but with a FFe get out of jail card.15:05
hallynI don't know of anything which actually depends on cgred or cgroup-bin.  They just dpeend on cgroups being mounted15:05

Davieyhallyn: agreed, just thinking ahead.15:58
hallynI don't know who was going to push that button15:58
hallynDaviey: do you know that there are things depending on kvm-pxe?15:59
Davieyusually, kvm falls onto our team :)15:59
hallynbut this is technically 'etherboot'15:59
hallynand it's been kicked by debian15:59
Davieyhallyn: just qemu-common and testdrive15:59
Davieynot checked for reverse recommends tho15:59
hallyni thought qemu-common only suggested it?16:00
hallynanyway my next step was gong ot be to update kvm to recommend ipxe and drop kvm-pxe suggests16:00
hallynsame should be done with testdrive16:00
hallynbut i don't knwo if that's jumping the gun16:00
hallynrmadison -u debian etherboot shows it's out of sid16:01
hallynwhich, iiuc, means it's effectively unmaintained...16:01
Davieyi expect it is16:01
hallynand, i'm growing more and more convinced i want to create cgroup-lite pkg :)16:02
Davieyhallyn: i don't think it's really a feature change, as the contents are just moving into a different package16:02

hallynDaviey: suggested i subcribe you16:08
stgraberok16:09
Davieyhmm, that was in regards to cgroups - that i thought stgraber had an interest in16:10
hallynah16:11
hallynin that case,16:11
hallynstgraber: then i guess Daviey was suggesting i file an FFE bug to create cgroup-lite package16:12
lynxmanDaviey: ping16:12
Davieylynxman: o/16:12
hallynstgraber: which would conflict with cgroup-bin, and just ship an upstart job to mount all controllers separateuly under /sys/fs/cgroup16:12
stgraberhallyn: what would be the difference with cgroup-bin?16:12
Davieyhallyn: Ah, you are quite correct kvm-pxe is only a suggests of qemu-common16:13
hallynstgraber: cgroup-bin reclassifies all tasks, and does so in a racy way16:13
hallynand enables cgclassifyd by default which is pretty heavyweight given that noone uses it16:14
lynxmanDaviey: I've got the swift scripts working, finally, you want a debdiff?16:14
lynxmanDaviey: so bug + debdiff and such16:14
Davieylynxman: hell.. yes.. :)16:14
hallynlxc and libvirt only want the cgroups to be mounted.  They don't want cgroup-bin mucking with things under there.16:14
Davieylynxman: you could propose a branch to the shared packaging branch16:14
Davieylynxman: ~openstack-ubuntu-packagers16:14
lynxmanDaviey: that would be option 216:14
lynxmanDaviey: you prefer a branch? :)16:14
Davieylynxman: well i'd have to turn your debdiff into a branch myself otherwise :)16:15
lynxmanDaviey: alright, branch it is16:15
Davieyrocking!16:16
lynxman\m/16:17
hallynstgraber: (biam, reboot time) if you want convincing, take a quick look at the libcgroup bug list - some are fundamental, and i don't really want to force all lxc users to run that16:18

Davieyhggdh: looks good, is there a branch/debdiff?20:11
hggdhDaviey: there was ;-)20:11
hggdhbut I found there was a problem with my override_dh_auto_install20:12
hggdhand am looking at it now20:12
hggdhdammit20:12
Davieyhggdh: ah.. good stuff!20:12
Davieyhggdh: is it easier to patch, rather than use a rules stamp?20:12
hggdhDaviey: undortunately, no... the build is auto-adding /usr/share/python/runtime.d/*, and this is what kees wants out20:13
hggdhI could simply completely override bloody dh_auto_install, but this seems rather crude20:14

ChmEarl11.10 kernel is now at 3.0.0-8.9.. any chance for it to get to 3.1 anytime before release?20:19
RoyKChmEarl: out of curiosity, what's new in 3.1?20:20
ChmEarlRoyK, its the xen patches I need20:20
RoyKok20:20
RoyKguest or host?20:20
RoyKthat is - is host xen in official kernel at all?20:21
ChmEarlRoyK, yes host/dom0 -- there is a vga patch in 3.120:21
ChmEarlRoyK, some 11.10 users report stable dom0 and nvidia accel driver works normally20:22
RoyKdidn't think xen dom0 would ever make it into the mainline...20:22
* RoyK hasn't really been reading much news about the issue, though, kvm works well20:23
ChmEarlRoyK, its a matter of configuration and setup to get it working with 11.10 kernel20:23
ChmEarlit=xen dom020:23
RoyKis xen dom0 "better" than kvm these days?20:24
RoyKI mean - has anyone tried to compare the two?20:24
ChmEarlRoyK, now that dom0 is in mainline kernel, you could setup kvm vs xen tests and find out in less than 1 day20:25
ChmEarlI satisfied myself that xen is better for my use20:25
RoyKok20:27
* RoyK only uses LTS releases for his servers20:27
CrazyGirChmEarl: in what ways did you find xen better for your use?20:28
ChmEarlCrazyGir,  paravirtual network speed is double for linux guests20:28
ChmEarlin xen20:28
patdk-wkhmm?20:30
RoyKChmEarl: are there/will there be any cluster/failover possibilities in Xen from ubuntu now?20:30
rickjaruizim using "top" with over 1gb used and i dont understand how to check what is using it20:30
patdk-wkthe kvm network couldn't perform?20:30
RoyKrickjaruiz: ps axfv20:30
RoyKrickjaruiz: and 'free'20:30
RoyKrickjaruiz: even though the "used" amount of memory is high, as reported by top, it's usually far lower due to memory used for caching20:31
ChmEarlRoyK, there is a launchpad team to package latest hypervisor for 11.10, but I'm not sure about cluster software20:31
rickjaruizwell there should be nothing running atm20:31
patdk-wkfree -m :)20:31

RoyKshould be quite ok20:37
hggdhDaviey: I cannot get the $#%@ rules to delete the directory20:37
rickjaruizso in free, im looking at used buffers/cache, for what is really used in memory?20:38
Davieyhggdh: why not delete it in a patch?20:39
hggdhDaviey: how could it be done?20:39
Davieyhggdh: sorry, perhaps i'm missing the issue..20:40
RoyKrickjaruiz: free shows "free" memory as unallocated. unallocated memory is usually not good. memory allocated for caching is good20:40
=== erichammond1 is now known as erichammond
rickjaruizim just kind of confused which one to look at, that tells me how much ram i readlly had left20:41
rickjaruiz*really20:41
hggdhDaviey: kees would like /usr/share/python/runtime.d/ajaxterm.rtupdate *not* to be there; this directory & content is auto-created by dh_*20:41
bernhard2trying to make exim4 dovecot work with TLS but receive this message when i test it: Host did not advertise STARTTLS20:42
hggdhDaviey: I thought I could delete it by overriding dh_auto_install, but it does not seem to work20:42
hggdhDaviey: so... except for this rather small detail, it is ready20:42
RoyKrickjaruiz: -/+ buffers/cache:     188172    186196020:42
RoyKthe latter is the amount of memory not actively in use20:43
Davieyhggdh: It should allow you to remove.. are you expanding the location correctly?20:43
hggdhDaviey: I believe I am, but of course I can be wrong. The branch is at lp:~hggdh2/ubuntu/oneiric/ajaxterm/bug79515920:43
rickjaruizthanks royk20:43
hggdhand I have been looking at this for so long I am probably incapable of seeing the obvious20:44
RoyKrickjaruiz: sorry - how much is free20:44
RoyKwell20:44
RoyKsame thing20:44
mande01Hi, I'm wanting to install a ubuntu on a USB or SD card, and have it run from there. What changes should I make to the install to allow this to work successfully?20:48
mande01P.S. ubuntu server20:48
RoyKmande01: it should work without changes20:50
mande01Is there a way I could get it to run from RAM or stop writting log files?20:52
RoyKmande01: it won't run out of RAM by using an SD card - RAM usage is the same20:57
RoyKeven if you install it on an SD card, or a SAS drive, or an old SCSI drive, or an ATA drive or even a floppy (if you could fit it there)20:58
* RoyK vouches for core memory20:58
mande01Royk: sorr y I'm not making myself clear.21:00
RoyKthen please explain :)21:00
mande01Royk: I want to install the system on an SD card but not have a lot of read or writes going to the card so it will last and be more robust.21:01
RoyKyou can use tmpfs21:01
mande01something like freenas, but having it run from ram21:01
RoyKmeaning a dynamic ram drive21:01
uvirtbotNew bug: #756499 in libcgroup (universe) "cgroup-bin breaks suspend to RAM" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/75649921:01
RoyKmande01: most SD cards have wear levelling in them, so it'll last quite some time21:02
RoyKmande01: and if you make sure the system doesn't log everything very verbose, it'll probably work well for quite some time21:02
RoyKAFAIK wear levelling became standard about 3-5 years ago, perhaps longer21:03
mande01Thanks,21:05
RoyKmande01: generally the root is rarely written to except for logs and swap. you can disable the swap if you like, although it might be a bad idea21:06
RoyKfor the logs, just configure syslog not to log to verbosely21:07
bernhard2Configuring Exim4 to use TLS. Configured 03_exim4-config_tlsoptions but when i restart exim4 and check with:  exim4 -bP | grep tls_21:18
