[00:47] hello! if I have a vm running via a qemu disk image, and if this can be mounted with the qemu-nbd command, you should then be able to chroot to that env and run passwd on a user, no? [00:49] CrazyGir, forgot the root password? ;) [00:50] anyway .. yeah .. you should be able to chroot it and change the passwords [00:51] Or init=/bin/sh [00:53] Kiall: nope, I made a clone of a vm I don't have any passwords to [00:54] twb: how do you mean? [00:56] did I lose the attention? :P [00:56] That's how you break in from the bootloader [00:57] I'd have to figure out making grub available via the serial console [00:58] which I haven't done, and would probably be helpful [00:58] more hurdles though [00:58] >< [00:58] I tried the method I described but it did not seem to work [00:58] It's documented in /etc/default/grub ffs [01:00] w00t [01:01] yea, this chroot method does not seem to work through qemu-nbd [01:01] Yeah, people who emulate VGA tty instead of ttyS0 are dumb [01:01] hah [01:02] I hated having to go to a console in an app transfering video data over the network via a broken and bloated protocol, simply to get the ip of a BSD VM [01:03] >< [01:03] I don't understand why all vm technologies seem to be unable to provide the IP of a virtual nic, but that is something else entirely [01:05] twb: are you referring to the GRUB_TERMINAL parameter in /etc/default/grub? [01:05] CrazyGir: I don't remember; I don't use grub [01:06] In extlinux it's just "CONSOLE 1" [01:07] ah: GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --speed=115200 --unit=0 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1" [01:07] for reference, from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto [01:07] what do you use twb? [01:09] extlinux. [01:09] sounds like the issue is the command isn't runnable on the host system [01:09] why not just edit the shadow file directly? [01:10] twb: interesting [01:10] patdk-lap: I am not (yet) familiar enough with how passwords are handled in ubuntu [01:10] I would feel comfortable with that on openbsd :) [01:11] can you run update-grub manually in some way? [01:11] I guess I should go the passwd file route [01:12] patdk-lap: how is that done? [01:12] not possible on openbsd as they are stored in a db :) [01:13] once you mount the fs [01:13] just edit /etc/shadow [01:13] remove the second item between the :'s [01:13] hey - anyone think they can help me out? im trying to generate screenshots using php, xvfb, and firefox. I can run it just fine through the terminal but I can't get shell_exec("DISPLAY=:1 firefox &") php to work - i did shell_exec("whoami") and its the same user. makes no sense to me as to why this would happen [01:13] so it would be, username:password:.....:...:...:... [01:14] just copy the string from another shadow file [01:14] /etc/shadow is blank O.o [01:14] well, that is no good [01:14] is passwd blank? [01:14] maybe? good question [01:15] * CrazyGir tests [01:15] no [01:16] I have a feeling the admin who built the VM emptied it and uses ssh keys for login [01:16] is there a /etc/shadow- file? [01:16] ..or something weird [01:16] Anyone know why crontab might hang? Not the scheduler, but the command for editing / viewing? [01:16] josePhoenix, it's having issues launching your editor? [01:16] no, crontab -e seems to work [01:17] maybe I'm misremembering what it does :x [01:17] ah [01:17] crontab -l is what I was looking for.. but I'm still no closer to figuring out why this script hangs [01:17] there is, and ls reports 856 bytes, but the file appears empty in vim [01:18] ah, I see [01:18] >< [01:18] I guess I'll just make a temporary file. Installing from stdin seems to be causing problems [01:29] anyone know what differences i can have between shell_exec in php and the terminal? [01:29] im using the same user [01:29] :( [01:29] i can open up xclock just fine with shell_exec [01:29] but i cant open firefox [01:39] maybe i can figure it out but how can i run a command so that ./ is a certain dir [01:39] ./ is pointing to /home/dummy/public_html when it should be pointing towards /home/dummy/ [01:39] im sure someone knows how to do that [01:41] hmm nevermind [01:41] was thinking ~ [02:07] hi, i got an error on a package when trying to upgrade. I don't need the package, so is there any way to just remove the package and skip it? [02:07] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [02:40] Anyone know of a good way of managing services with the CLI? In particular the issue is that some services are still running as SysV and other Upstart services. You can no longer use just sysv-rc-conf. And I don't know if Upstart has a CLI tool where you can set what services start at boot. Any thoughts? [02:43] Or is this just an understood difficulty with a 'headless' server until there is consistency in terms of boot scripts? [02:45] That's something I've never found a satisfactory answer to [02:45] I've seen people recommending editing the upstart scripts to prevent start-on-boot [02:51] josePhoenix: Thanks. Sounds like I wasn't missing something then. I take a look at what you said though. [02:51] hansin: yeah, if you find a convenient way to manage upstart services, I'd like to know xD [02:52] josePhoenix: Sounds like a deal! Though don't have the coding skills to make my own. [02:52] But if I find something... [03:17] Hmm [03:17] What does the setgid bit on a file do? [03:18] ah [03:18] hm. I want to use setgid folders... [03:18] but not setgid files [03:19] seems like chmod should have a shortcut for setting permission bits that mean different things for files and folders [03:19] I want folders to be +x +S, but I don't want all the files in them to be executable... [03:20] use +X [03:21] ahhh ta [03:21] That's just a chmod feature, right? Not an extra bit? [03:23] Actually, that doesn't do quite what I want. Is there something for setting +s on directories, but not their contents? [03:33] josePhoenix what was the original question? [03:37] has anyone offered up SUID or SGID? [03:38] lickalott: I think I just need to be a bit more selective [03:38] I was trying to setgid on a directory and its child dirs [03:39] but chmod -R g+s ./foo/* sets +s on files as well, which I don't want [03:39] take out the -R [03:39] yeah, I figured [03:39] -R will do the folder AND all the contents [03:40] but that's still not what you want? [03:40] Well I wanted subfolders, but not files within those subfolders [03:40] ahhhhh [03:40] probably have to do a find [03:40] ./foo/bar/baz/ but not ./foo/bar/baz/quux.txt [03:40] find directories and exec chmod +s [03:40] yeah... maybe a find + xargs [03:41] Well, it's part of a provisioning script, so I know exactly which dirs I'm creating [03:41] so I'm just adding the chmod there [03:42] maybe do foo manually, then cd into is, ls -d | xargs chmod +s {} [03:42] i'd have to play, but that should work [03:44] *it [03:47] -D not -d jose [03:47] okay thanks :] [03:48] did that work? [03:48] logging into my rig now [03:49] also take the brackets out [03:51] worked for me [03:51] might have issues with spaces in filenames [03:51] make sure you try it [03:52] spaces in file names? [03:57] thought he didn't want files to be chmod'd [04:27] well, directory names [04:29] can't happen unless this is a samba share right? if one were to mkdir Some Docs, you'd end up with 2 folders [04:30] not if you mkdir "Some Docs" [04:30] in linux, everything is valid [04:31] just needs to be properly escaped [04:31] touche' [04:32] also, mkdir Some\ Docs [04:32] guess i just wouldn't expect that from a *nix person [04:32] ordinarily no [04:33] but it is possible, so you want to have that test case especially before you integrate it into a script [04:34] one thing I run into a lot [04:34] ripping music off CDs [04:34] with question marks in the names [04:34] and then windows doesn't know what to do with it on the share [04:36] Have an interesting/strange issue with Oneiric server. [04:36] Is there a setup for Ubuntu 11.04 desktop/Server that is similar to Active Directory? I know Sambad is similar but does it have a GUI? [04:37] Is 11.04 server an LTS? [04:37] It wont get past GRUB, black screen then my moniter goes to sleep. However, if I boot into recovery then resume normal boot then it works. [04:37] reya276: No. [04:37] 10.04 is LTS [04:39] reya276, basically no to all of the above [04:39] i'm with you qman__. Never thought about music... [04:39] samba can do a hybrid of NT domains and 2003 security [04:39] and openLDAP can do a user directory [04:39] but that's about it [04:39] samba 4, if/when it ever gets stable, is going to be full AD compatible [04:41] ok well that is good enough. I'm not looking to use Ubuntu with windows servers. I'm actually trying to setup Ubuntu server/desktops on its own as a server/network [04:41] then what you're after is openLDAP [04:41] and possibly kerberos [04:41] cool, thanks. I can get that from the repos right? [04:41] yes, but it's pretty complicated to get going [04:41] make sure you find a good guide on it, not sure if the server guide is up to par on that yet [04:42] nah, nothing is ever complicated as long as their is something to read then its all good [04:42] thanks.

[13:18] Daviey yeah orchestra depends on it but still in universe [13:19] Daviey isnt it in the server seed that would keep it in main? [13:19] RoAkSoAx: ah, good point [13:19] RoAkSoAx: no, it was in main via euca. [13:20] Daviey so i guess it should be on the server seed right? [13:21] RoAkSoAx: yes [13:21] RoAkSoAx: We don't have a server-supported seed by design. [13:22] Daviey right so whats the solution then [13:23] RoAkSoAx: It's small enough to throw it on the ISO this cycle i think [13:29] cool [13:44] hey all. I noticed today a persistent established connection on localhost.localdomain today between mysql and a 40000 port. I haven't noticed this before. Is there a way to figure out what is running that? [13:49] jasonmsp: lsof -i :40000 [13:52] thanks! dovecot is running it. Could it be someone connected via imap? [13:53] <_ruben> dovecot likely has a persistent db connection open [13:53] ive not noticed it before. Usually it is clean when I am connected ssh and the only thing open is my connections to the server [13:54] well, that would depend on the mysql wait timeout setting [13:54] dovecot will open, and keep it open, till mysql closes it [13:54] so if your last login was 5min ago, and the wait timeout is 15min [13:55] so check mysql config? [13:56] hallyn: ping, you about? [13:57] this is only troubling because its been established for over an hour [13:57] I think 1hour might be the default [13:59] no, default is 8hours if not changed [13:59] it's really not an issue and doesn't hurt, unless you limit mysql connections to a very low number [14:00] ok. it was non-standard for me after running the server for a year I've never seen a connection like that open so long.

Not as safe as those are *perceived* to be, but as they are :) [14:29] hallyn: yeah, I think someone somewhere stated that it was usable and ready for 'enterprise' use at UDS and well, it kinda went from there. At least now I'm beginning to see the full scope of the problem and it hurts [14:30] hallyn: Perhaps i'm missing the issue, but i would have expected security to have been the first feature of LXC, not a bolt on to drive towards. [14:30] *boggles* [14:30] NCommander: it *is* ready for enterprise, for certain uses :) [14:31] Daviey: platitudes like that sound nice but dont' jive with how you can get features into the kernel [14:31] i'm sorry that sounds mean, but we had to start with the simpler namespaces [14:31] i set address to 10.0.2.16, netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 restarting network and I get failed to bring up eth0 [14:32] we're not writing an editor. we're affecting performance and changing every aspect of resource finding and access [14:32] hallyn: I'll keep my jive to myself then :) [14:33] hallyn: I'm assuming that all of this is acknowledged by arkose (stgraber) and any other teams that perceive LXC as the new security hotness? (not trying to insinuate stgraber is not up on all this) [14:33] Daviey: also, the original point of the work was not lxc itself, but namespace isolation for checkpoint/restart [14:33] jdstrand: yes. (stgraber will yell if not :) [14:33] part of the problem is that the real tools are the naemspaces and cgroups, [14:34] while lxc is just a tool trying to exploit those for easy use [14:34] the security features which lxc would need to provide root-safe containers haven't made it into the kernel, so there is nothing for lxc to offer. [14:37] * hallyn fears Daviey wont' talk to him any more [14:37] let alone push the spice ffe :) [14:42] NCommander: if you get a few moments to send me an email where you explain the use you were going to have for lxc on arm, please do. === med_out is now known as medberry [14:44] Daviey: is there any reason not to plop the proposed qemu and libvirt merges for oneiric into ubuntu-virt ppa for testing? [14:46] hallyn: go for it! [14:47] create a new PPA tho [14:49] hallyn: you'd cry if you knew :-) [14:49] hallyn: but will do (currently doing 1001 things right now) [14:51] Daviey: new ppa? ok [14:52] NCommander: yup no hurry. Maybe we need a bug against the main lxc man page to have a WARNING at top about containers not being secure [14:52] i'd say we coudl ask jdstrand for help writing an apparmor profile to contain it, but then it'll likely just spuriously prevent package upgrades in containers :( [14:53] Daviey: doesn't look like i can create a new ppa [14:53] hallyn: argh [14:53] hallyn: is there a junky one? [14:54] so nm, i'll use my own then. [14:54] 'daily upstream build' :) [14:54] nothing since jan 2010 [15:01] Am I online? [15:02] Oh, I seem to be [15:06] Ursinha_: Ursinha: you both are :) [15:06] do i need to delete the loopback line for a static ip [15:06] iface lo inet loopback.. [15:06] hallyn: :) redundancy ftw :P [15:07] skulltip: no -- that configures the lo/loopback interface -- you want to leave that alone, always [15:07] you only want to edit lines that are configuring interfaces you're changing (such as eth0, or whichever you're using) [15:12] ok even updated nameserver with static IP and /networking restart.. message about it being deprecated and I can't ping the gateway [15:13] do i need to add a default gateway route [15:17] so, pop quiz. i have a natty box, it ought to be running lucid (lts server). how hard is that to change on an already installed box. can i just change the source, update, and safe-upgrade? === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ [15:22] Ursinha_: no you're not online, get back to work ;) [15:25] damn... the sun, it is hot... and unknown [15:26] Daviey: ping [15:27] Demosthenes: afaik downgrading a box can have hilarious results, your mileage may vary though === otubo is now known as otubo[AFK] [15:27] lynxman: very few real packages installed. [15:28] no X, no desktop apps, etc. [15:28] Demosthenes: still, have in mind that only the upgrade path is tested, and you can find packages that are not downgradable or hard to [15:28] Demosthenes: if you need to do that I'd recommend install another machine with lucid or just keep that one working with natty [15:29] righto! [15:29] otoh, maybe we wait until the next LTS release and upgrade to it ;] [15:30] Demosthenes: that would also be wise indeed [15:32] Demosthenes: the new LTS will rock, just sayin' [15:33] * lynxman can't contain his excitement about Ubuntu-P [15:33] lynxman: hola [15:33] Daviey: ello good sir [15:33] lynxman: on the phone.

Can you file a FFe bug explaining the reason why this was introduced and pointing to some of the bug reports that'll be fixed by using it instead of cgroup-bin? [16:20] yup, will do [16:20] attach the debdiff to that bug and I'll then comment that it looks good, I'm using it and see no regression with the new code and that it actually solves a critical bug for me [16:21] great, thx [16:26] Daviey: were you going to push that ipxe from the lp merge proposal? [16:27] hallyn: yep.. it's here [16:27] stgraber: do i file that bug against lxc, or against ubuntu? [16:27] Daviey: oh? rmadison must be lying to me... [16:27] hallyn: assume you haven't touched it since yesterday? [16:27] no i haven't. but ramdison doesn't show me a -ubuntu1 version [16:27] hallyn: no, it's not pushed yet.. but i *am* doing it [16:27] Daviey: ah, ok. great - thanks [16:28] hallyn: it's a patch against libcgroup, so file the FFe against libcgroup [16:28] stgraber: sorry i meant libcgroup not lxc :) ok, thanks [16:29] ok :) [16:44] stgraber: bug 829628 [16:44] Launchpad bug 829628 in libcgroup "[FFE] Add cgroup-lite package" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/829628 [16:46] New bug: #829625 in ntp (main) "package ntpdate 1:4.2.6.p2 dfsg-1ubuntu5.1 failed to install/upgrade: error writing to '': No such file or directory" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/829625 [16:50] hallyn: ok, commented and subscribed ubuntu-release for approval [16:51] New bug: #829628 in libcgroup (universe) "[FFE] Add cgroup-lite package" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/829628 [16:58] stgraber: great thanks - let's hope for the best === medberry is now known as med_out [17:04] RoAkSoAx: howdy! I just uploaded a new powernap that fixes most of the powernap-on-the-desktop issues [17:04] RoAkSoAx: you know, the ones jcastro was complaining about last week :-) [17:05] jcastro: would you mind giving powernap another try on your desktop? [17:05] * jcastro whistles [17:05] jcastro: 2.13 [17:05] jcastro: it should be much better [17:05] sure [17:05] jcastro: i've been running it here at the conference all week with success [17:05] I'll do it on the laptop. [17:05] jcastro: just uploaded minutes ago, so give it an hour or two to build/publish [17:05] jcastro: sweet, thanks [17:05] RoAkSoAx: give it a little testing, if you can [17:05] should I configure it or just run it "stock"? === shymega is now known as Guest77991 [17:23] kirkland: cool will do!!

I'm on lucid [17:45] I have 0.11-0ubuntu1 === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ [17:59] RoAkSoAx: excellent! [17:59] RoAkSoAx: can irc now, if you like [18:00] RoAkSoAx: also, i saw you disabled the initial iso import ... why? are you going to re-enable it? [18:00] kirkland: yes I will re-enable it on release [18:00] kirkland: right now it makes my testing difficult :) (i just disabled it for testing) [18:01] kirkland: but anyways, logging-server is done, the only thing left is make sure the client installs the stuff through the preseed and obtains the keys [18:01] kirkland: the "difficulty" here is that, in case we manually installed ubuntu-orchestra-client on a server, it will configure the client syslog but it won't be able to obtain the keys [18:01] kirkland: unlike if we preseed it [18:02] kirkland: so I was thinking on getting the postinst to check if orchestra server is accessible and obtain the keys if it is [18:02] kirkland: however, this would require to have the keys available over web which is probably not desirable as discussed in austin [18:03] kirkland: so before preseeding it, i simple though it would be better to have a way to do both things [18:03] what do you think? [18:04] pin/win 4 [18:04] arh [18:04] RoAkSoAx: make it configurable then, dude [18:04] RoAkSoAx: actually, it's already configurable [18:05] RoAkSoAx: sweet, is logging working through ssl? [18:05] kirkland: yes logging is working through ssl :D [18:06] kirkland: the only difference is that if we preseed, the client will automatically obtain the keys and start logging with the server [18:06] if we install ubuntu-orchestra-client on anhy other server thjat orchestra didn't preseed, we would manually need to obtain the key [18:07] kirkland: so the real issue is not to make the key publicly available through HTTP [18:08] kirkland: unless we could use the SSH keys to ssh ing and grab the key [18:08] but yet again, if we dont preseed with orchestra, then no ssh keys will be available [18:09] * RoAkSoAx wonders if he is explaining himself correctly :) [18:10] No. Commit seppuku. === pleia2_ is now known as pleia2 === AntORG_ is now known as AntORG [18:40] jdstrand: howdy [18:40] RoAkSoAx: hi [18:41] jdstrand: does this satisfy the rejection reason for kitchen(python-kitchen)? http://paste.ubuntu.com/670291/ [18:42] RoAkSoAx: looks good to me [18:42] jdstrand: alrighty then.

So, I will create a python-orchestra module with "utilities" [19:55] kirkland: this will have the script that generates the encoding of the keys and will generate a command that will install these keys into the deployed machine [19:56] kirkland: so we will import a snippet in the kickstart, this snippet will call the cobbler python module and will return a command in the way of "d-i balblabla" that will actually install the keys [20:07] hello, please advice good vps [20:07] for personal use [20:09] *vps hosting [20:09] linode, slicehost .. ? === mosburn_ is now known as mosburn === Ursinha` is now known as Ursinha === Ursinha is now known as Guest59628 [20:25] Anyone running Ubuntu Server 11.04 have any problems running apt-get install from a shell script?

[20:40] It's a one liner, "E: Unable to locate package apache2" [20:41] Can you create another shell script that does the same thing?

[21:05] When I initially created the mirror, I guess I wasn't paying attention. I created the 2 legs on 2 separate drives and the mirror log on a 3rd drive. The drive with the mirror log failed and now it will not let me recover the mirrored volume. [21:06] From what I am reading on the LVM mailing list archives, this may not be recoverable, but I'm hoping someone here might have a suggestion [21:20] Whew!!! [21:20] Yay!!! [21:20] whow!!! [21:21] Looks like it is recoverable. [21:21] ^^ [21:21] TomasBrincil: Error: "^" is not a valid command. [21:21] Thank freaking goodness! [22:02] Is there a web based administrator for exim4 or dovecot ?? [22:10] ajaxterm? :) [22:37] hallyn: around? [22:39] question.. im setting up exim4 with dovecot (it works 80%).. i want to setup mail for several domains.. This is done within Exim4 ?? [22:40] yes, and maybe dovecot too [22:40] depending on exactly how you want it setup [22:51] I've never done exim, but I've done it on postfix [22:51] and in that case, the multiple domains bit was mostly on postfix [22:51] so I assume it's also on exim [22:52] all depends if you want those domains to be different email boxes or not [22:52] postfix is the Ubuntu favoured MTA over exim4 === Andre_Go` is now known as Andre_Gondim [22:58] Well have about 5 domains.. websites are on the same server too.. what do you mean with different email boxes ? [22:59] there's really two ways to do things [22:59] one is with the server simply accepting mail from all your domains [22:59] but in that case, user1@domaina and user1@domainb are the same user, same mailbox [22:59] what you probably want are virtual mailboxes [22:59] which create separate users and mailboxes for each domain [23:00] is there a more robust pptpd server available.... looking for something that does not store passwords in a plain text file [23:01] (in plain text) [23:01] pr0z0id, that would be chap [23:01] instead of pap [23:02] but really why does it matter? [23:02] if you store a password hash, your normally forced to send the password over the connection for auth [23:02] so both ways the raw password makes it to the server [23:03] yeah, pptp isn't the most secure thing to run [23:04] not in terms of bugs and holes, just design [23:05] switch to l2tp? [23:05] nah, openVPN [23:05] i have openvpn already [23:06] but need support for iOS etc. [23:06] consoles ... that sort of thing [23:06] for ios, your going be stuck with ipsec + l2tp [23:06] hashed or not, guard that password file with your life [23:06] it's just a design limitation [23:08] i hate the idea.. [23:08] that's why i'm looking for something better. [23:08] it's even more evil ios won't let you use certs [23:20] yes would want virtual mailboxes which create separate users and mailboxes for each domain
