TechnicusI have tried following this turorial: < http://mydebian.blogdns.org/?p=148  >, but the machine will not start and VirtualBox provides me with this message: "Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Video Surveillance System. Configuration error: Failed to get the "MAC" value (VERR_CFGM_VALUE_NOT_FOUND).

TechnicusI have been trying connect a Ubuntu Desktop host and a Ubuntu Server VirturalBox gest on the same machine with no success.  I have been chatting on the #openssh channel and #vbox channel, I have tried the tutorial: < http://mydebian.blogdns.org/?p=148 >, and other suggestions . . . but I am obviously overlooking something very critical.  I don't know what to do at this point.02:09
TechnicusHow can I get this to work?02:10
twbSorry, I don't support vbox.  Ubuntu recommends KVM and libvirt.02:13
nandemonaiTechnicus: Can the machines ping each other?02:19
nandemonaiAnd openssh-server is installed on one or both?02:19
TechnicusOpenSSH-Server is installed on the server.02:20
twbnandemonai: From the error he initially reported, it sounds like vbox is borking at the bridging level, irrespective of the guest OS configuration02:20
nandemonaiJust saw the above post.02:21
nandemonaiTechnicus: That's a virtualbox issue for sure. How are the network interfaces configured in Virtualbox?02:22
TechnicusI am trying to figure that out.02:23
twbThere is probably a vbox channel02:23
nandemonaiTechnicus: Bridged, NAT, host only etc. Something isn't set right. I'd check the virtualbox forums and google your specific error.02:23
TechnicusThe host has an adapter called vboxnet0.02:23
twbUnless it's vbox ose it's not really our problem02:23
twbOh, apparently there is no longer an "OSE"; there is just normal (open source) vbox, plus a proprietary Oracle "plugin"02:25

linociscohi all07:23
linociscohow to setup/install ubuntu mail server for windows outlook clients ?07:24
linociscohi all07:30
twbWell, you have three choices.  First, deploy a normal SMTP/IMAP setup and work out how to make outlook talk IMAP.  Second, deploy a propriatery MAPI server like Zimbra CS.  Third, deploy a webmail server and tell your users to suck it up and use a web browser instead of outlook.07:34
twbOh, and of course fourth, just get rid of Windows.07:35
linociscotwb:  are you answering me ?07:36
twblinocisco: yes07:36
jamespagemorning07:36
linociscotwb: thanks. Let me tell you have i have done. I have installed postfix. I have done dpkg-reconfigure postfix and enter settings. telnet myserver.org 25 and ehlo myserver.org is fine. what else I do ?07:37
linociscotwb: some said that I need to install dovecot and nmap to check ports.07:38
twb25 is SMTP07:38
twbIf you want them to be able to read mail (IMAP) as well as sending it (SMTP), you need an IMAP server -- dovecot is one07:38
twbIMAP leaves mail on the server; you could use POP3 instead, which downloads it to the desktop, but that is usually not what you want07:39
twbRather: if you're an ISP you probably want POP3, if you're a corporation you probably want IMAP.07:40
linociscotwb: Let me recall theory, If I use IMAP,  all mail clients must be always online with ubuntu mail server. Otherwise, they can't read email if LAN cable or WIFI link is disconnected. Right ?07:41
ersitwb: He just wants a local server (He's been here for a while) and that server does not have internet connectivity.07:42
ersilinocisco: Well, setup both POP3 and IMAP and switch if users are being silly07:42
twblinocisco: with IMAP, the mail stays on the server.  Users can only access it when they are have access to the server.07:42
linociscoersi: thanks eris. you always read my mind. knew half of my problems. thanks for coming07:42
twblinocisco: with POP3, they download it to their desktop or laptop, which means if their laptop explodes -- no more mail.  If they change laptop -- no more mail.07:43
linociscotwb:  can we have a settings to leave a copy of mails on server even though if we use POP3, right ?07:43
ersilinocisco: It's one of the things I'm good at, I can't always help with particular stuff - but my memory works wonders sometimes :P07:43
ersilinocisco: Yes, there is one such setting - but I wouldn't recommend using it. POP3 is a dumb protocol, and leaving copies on the server usually ends up in tears07:44
ersilike.. some silly user whining about three thousand duplicates because Outlook is a piece of.. goo.07:44
twblinocisco: you can, yes07:45
twblinocisco: the other problem is that outlook is REALLY SHIT, and AIUI only works properly if you use MAPI, which is Microsoft's mess alternative to IMAP07:45
ersiIMAP <307:46
twbEven if the users are on Windows, I would probably try to get them onto tbird07:46
linociscoersi: twb: I am not thinking only outlook. May Be thunderbird or any mail clients that will work on windows. because most users are always sticked to windows. But it would be nicer to work with Microsoft outlook because we already paid for office suite.07:47
twbtbird sucks pretty hard as well, but probably not as bad as outlook07:47
ersilinocisco: You can cache mail locally with IMAP, and make both Outlook shitpress and Thunderbird save copies locally in them and keep it on the server07:47
ersiMail is hard, let's go shopping :-)07:47
twbmail is only hard because users won't learn mutt07:47
twbSorry, let me rephrase07:48
twbmail is only hard because users07:48
ersiAmen.07:48
linociscoersi:  you are funny. btw, let's get down to nitty gitty. other than postfix package. what else should I install ?07:48
twbFirst thing we do, let's kill all the users07:48
ersilinocisco: I usually use postfix with dovecot. Other than that, nothing more is needed - besides sasl-auth stuff07:49
twbersi: ldap would be nice07:49
ersiyeah, but not absolutely necessary :)07:49
twbI also rolled out prayer, mainly because it was not PHP.  It looks OK if you tell it to use the cambridge "theme"07:49
ersibut yeah, indeed07:49
twbIt's no gmail, but OTOH it actually works in w3m and lynx07:50
ersiI'm more of a roundcube kind of guy07:50
twbroundcube is PHP, so automatic fail in my book07:50
twbhttp://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/~dpc22/prayer/07:51
linociscoersi: namely please. dovecot-posfix or dovecot-common or ?? what ? please specific name please!!07:51
ersimeh, it's fancy and users love it07:51
ersilinocisco: Yes and yes07:51
twbMy job is to prevent users from having what they want.07:51
ersiI'm not actually a sysadmin or have any kind of infra responsibility07:52
ersiI'm hired to break stuff :)07:52
twbI'm not allowed to set up nessusd yet :-/07:52
linociscoersi:  yes and yes ?? only two packages (dovecot-postfix and dovecot-common ) ??07:53
twblinocisco: either just dovecot-postfix, which will try to set it up for you, or if that fails, then dovecot-imapd and postfix07:53
twbFor me, dovecot-postfix did completely the wrong thing, so I just threw it out and did it right.  dovecot-postfix is only about twenty lines of config files anyway07:54
linociscotwb: so what is better? exim or courier or  .. ?07:54
twblinocisco: "dovecot-postfix" is a wrapper package.07:55
ersilinocisco: Nothing is better. It's a subject of taste.07:55
twbdovecot is fine; postfix is fine.07:55
ersiPick one, stick with it until you're mad about it or got time to tinker07:55
twbdovecot and postfix are the ubuntu recommended choices07:55
ersican't go terribly wrong with dovecot+postfix mix07:55
ersiI like that combo07:56
linociscotwb: thanks bro.  postifx = MTA , dovecot is for = IMAP+POP3 , right ?07:56
twblinocisco: yes07:56
twbI like postfix, especially compared to sendmail or exim.  Dovecot I pretty much just installed and then left alone, and it hasn't caused any trouble07:57
twbI'm still using procmail instead of sieve, tho07:57
twbPostfix is the LDA07:57
linociscotwb: thanks bro. I will google how to edit in dovecot to work with windows mail clients . If I failed, I would come back07:57
linociscotwb: that is another thing I dont know. what is procmail ?07:57
twblinocisco: also try #dovecot and ##windows07:58
ersilinocisco: It's a filtering software, sorta07:58
twbprocmail is a thing where you can say stuff like "all mail from jerry, put in the jerry folder"07:58
ersilinocisco: Not necessary, you can look at it after setting up postfix+dovecot if you got the need :)07:58
twbSieve is basically the same except it's built into IMAP07:58
twbMeaning that the MUA can do it, whereas ~/.procmailrc requires a shell account and knowledge of vi07:59
linociscomy second mail questions is concerning office deployment08:08
linociscolinocisco: in my remote offices, they used government ISP internet connection which allows only 8080 and 443 ports.

twbYou can't do POP3 over webmail08:12
linociscoI mean just to give them access to download emails and read offline like using pop3 clients. So they don't need to open email and wait for slow internet connection to check old mails08:12

cr3hi folks, anyone happen to know whether a patch for CVE-2011-3192 will be backported to Apache versions prior to 2.2.20, 2.2.19 is the latest in the repo.13:49
uvirtbotcr3: The byterange filter in the Apache HTTP Server 1.3.x, 2.0.x through 2.0.64, and 2.2.x through 2.2.19 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a Range header that expresses multiple overlapping ranges, as exploited in the wild in August 2011, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-0086. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-3192)13:49
_johnnyhi. anyone familiar with xinetd and stunnel? i've followed a few "how to"'s, but they all involve wrapping ssl around another connection, rather than binary execution - which i'm having a little trouble with. anyone tried something like this?

hallynwhat is going to break other things?15:12
smoserchanging libvirt15:12
smoseryou risk breaking other working containers15:13
smoserjust to fix something you dont understand.15:13
hallynI don't think so15:13
davros-wtf how can, address 192.168.1.10 not in subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.25515:13
hallynsmoser: there are two ways to provide a correct /dev/ptmx in a container.15:14
hallynof course i can just blame you for insisting on using libvirt-lxc15:14
hggdhdavros-: well, with the netmask being all ones, it makes sense15:15
smoseryou can blame ubuntu for choosing libvirt as the prefered hypervisor interface.15:15
smoserbut blaming me is not going to do much good.15:15
Davieyzul: Was enabling the testsuite in python-dingus viable?15:15
smoseralthough i do agree with the choice to use libvirt15:15
zulDaviey: i totally missed that part15:15
hallynsmoser: it helps me ignore your annoying stmts about 'things i don't understand' :)15:15
hallynanyway i'm off to try stap some more.  bbl15:16
Davieyhallyn: stapping is bad15:16
smoserhallyn, thats reasonable.15:16
smoseri really just dont think that changing a platform to suite an occupant is a good idea.15:16
davros-hggdh, what do u mean all 1's as in "1"92."1"68. etc15:16
Davieysmoser: I hate to do this, but i really do agree with you.15:16
hggdhdavros-: netmask, not IP15:17
just-a-visitorBecause netmask 255.255.255.255 or /32 specifies only 1 IP. You need at least /28 or 255.255.255.240. (In general: 255.255.255.0 will do.)15:17
zulDaviey: not really15:17
Davieyzul: uh?15:18
davros-hggdh, oops15:18
davros-thx15:18
zulDaviey: you asked me about the python-dingus testsuite being enabled and i just had a look at it and my response is not really worth it15:19

smoseroh wait. it never booted, even better.15:23
jamespagenope - it did boot15:23
jamespagephase 5/6 is restart and check then shutdown to complete test15:24
smoseryou mean stop15:24
smoserstop and start15:24
smoseras opposed to reboot, right?15:24
jamespageit booted up first time OK15:25
jamespagetested OK15:25
jamespagebut did not managed the stop/start that well - needed a kick as would not start15:25
jamespageit got there in the end (I think)15:25
smoserwell, did it?15:25
smoserunless initramfs has a timeout before just rebooting, i dont know what would have done it.15:26
jamespageyeah it did - you can see the 'validated keys' message in the log - but it took a reboot15:26
smoserah. so your test suite kicked it.15:26
jamespageand it took a long time to shutdown in phase 615:26
jamespagethats the one15:26
jamespagethats the first time I've ever seen that error tho15:26
smoseris the "i'm going to reboot that instance for you" logged anywhere ?15:27
smoseryeah, its basically "can't find root". blkid /dev/xvda1 never came back.15:27
smoserbut then, according to https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/oneiric-server-ec2/ARCH=amd64,REGION=eu-west-1,STORAGE=ebs,TEST=multi-part-ud,label=ubuntu-server-ec2-testing/lastBuild/artifact/None/amd64/m1.large/ebs/i-ba545fcc/fd0b2556-95c8-4194-a41b-ecb77335c031-terminated.console.txt it never came back up after that.15:28
jamespagethat might be a time issue on collecting console output15:29

jamespagesmoser: one sec - still catching up15:36
jamespagelooks like both eu-west-1 tests that failed failed in the same way?15:36
smoseri think so, other than the i386 did not get -terminated console collected15:37
smoserso we really dont know.15:37

smoserthat ci-info information is printed on 'cloud-init start' job, which should only happen after eth0 is up.  but eth0 does not have a network address.15:38
smoserbut it clearly didn't timeout, as 2.8 seconds or some such in15:39

smoserno17:48
smoser'ubuntu' is what is in /etc/hostname of a clean image17:48
smoserso on first boot, hostname gets set to that, then cloud-init comes by and sets it to the hostname portion of data from the metadata service17:49
adam_gkirkland: sounds better to me. it'll just dump some potentially useful stuff into a directory for users to cherry pick from?17:49
RoAkSoAxsmoser: well I'm installing on bare metal and on first boot, cloud-init is changing the hostname to ubuntuhost17:49

kirklandadam_g: we can haggle over the final placement17:51
adam_gkirkland: sounds reasonable17:51
kirklandadam_g: but the key would be to establish and distribute some best practices, that are immediately usable17:51
kirklandadam_g: without being the be-all/end-all configuration of such tools17:51
kirklandadam_g: at least for now, users would have to opt-in, and enable them17:52
adam_gkirkland: i like that, then any formula can install that package and use the plugins without maintaining them within the formula.17:52
kirklandadam_g: if we get to a point where we have concensus on the monitoring best practices, then we can talk about enabling some of the by default (if we ever get there)17:52
kirklandadam_g: eggggzactly17:52
kirklandadam_g: just putting them *somewhere* would give us a base to improve upon17:53
smoserRoAkSoAx, in oneiric if you just set 'fqdn' to fqdn then you'll be set.17:53
kirklandadam_g: without that, everyone will write and rewrite their own nagios/collectd/rsyslog/ganglia modules and reproduce lots of work17:53
kirklandadam_g: with that shipped base, hopefully they'll start from there, improve upon it, and show us their diffs17:53
smoserRoAkSoAx, but please open a bug.. if it is not set, cloud-init should not go messing things up.17:53

RoAkSoAxsmoser: will do17:54

smoseryeah, that is the thing. since it is not there, cloud-init is falling back to a default. and it should instead fall back to not setting up hostname.18:04
RoAkSoAxsmoser: right, but isn't it possible to check if the hostname has been set on a kernel parameter? If so, it should not try to set a hostname again?18:05
smoserRoAkSoAx, it wont have been set via a kernel parameter.18:05

smoseri'd rather it not, and rathre not solve it that way.18:06
smoserlet me look at fixing in cloud-init.18:06
RoAkSoAxsmoser: the thing here is that when ever you deploy with ensemble, the deployed machine ends up having its hostname as 'ubuntuhost' instead of the hostname that was told to the machine on the kernel parameter18:07
RoAkSoAxsmoser: which means that on first boot, cloud-init changes the hostname from whatever it was set to something that it shouldn't (ubuntuhost)18:07
smoserRoAkSoAx, i understand that.18:08

RoAkSoAxsmoser: righyt, but i *think* it is writing the   /var/lib/cloud/data/previous-hostname with the correct hostname set by the kernel parameter18:09
RoAkSoAxsmoser: i will have to doubel check that18:09
smoserRoAkSoAx, sure, thats fine, but thats only because it finds it there.18:10
RoAkSoAxsmoser: right that's why I'm sauing, during installation the hostname was set, but when cloud-init initializes post-installation on first boot, it changes the hostname when it shouldn't have18:10
smoseri think we're in agreement.18:11
* RoAkSoAx sometimes wonders if he expresses himself correctly :)18:11
smoserRoAkSoAx, can you confirm that it is setting it to the string 'ubuntuhost' ?18:13

RoAkSoAxsmoser: btw... cloud init is still failing to import the PPA , but when I do it manually, it doesn't fial to import it18:15
lynxmanadam_g: so far what we've seen is that udev is not mounting properly18:15
lynxmanadam_g: does that ring a bell?18:15
adam_glynxman: im seeing some kind of race here, not sure if its related. but only happens when there is are LVs present18:16
lynxmanadam_g: so looks like its the same one18:16
lynxmanadam_g: or could be18:16
lynxmanadam_g: do you have a bug for that race?18:16
adam_glynxman: no, i just hit it yesterday and worked around it but tried creating some LVs to see if it reproduces, and it does18:16
lynxmanadam_g: so looks like we might be getting somewhere18:16
adam_glynxman: my rootfs is on a raw partition /dev/sda5, i created a VG with /dev/sda7 and a LV.. now boot fails. from what i could tell just now, it looks like pvscan/vgchange was happening before the nodes were created for the PVs in /dev18:17
lynxmanadam_g: which fits with what I'm seeing as well because udev somehow didn't get mounted on time18:18
adam_glynxman: what do you mean by 'udev didnt get mounted on time'18:19
lynxmanadam_g: in my case doesn't get mounted at all, but I think this is clearly the race condition18:20
lynxmanadam_g: udev is needed before it kicks in18:20

jetoleHey guys. Does anyone know how to change the domain name on a system? I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the first domain name listed in /etc/hosts but want to make sure19:16
DavieySpamapS: hah19:17
Davieyjetole: /etc/hostname19:18
jetoleDaviey: no the domain name. not the host name19:18
jetoleaccording to the man page for hostname (man 1 hostname), which I am reading now, the dns domain part of a fqdn hostname is set by calling gethostbyname(2) on the set hostname so if the /etc/hosts file is called before the dns when resolving names then I can change it there19:21
jetoleso I guess I was right, it's /etc/hosts19:21

roboshello: ubuntu in a production environment. Would you go with 11.04 or 10LTS?21:23

Coreyrobos: LTS.21:24
Coreyrobos: Otherwise I'd call you a fool.21:24
roboshah, okay. Double checking :-) thanks21:24
Corey10.04LTS.21:25
lenioswhy do you think there are releases twice a year if you're a fool to go without lts?21:28
patdk-lapmany reasons21:30
patdk-lapbut unless there is something you specifically need in a newer version, using the lts is much better21:30
patdk-lapas your not forced to upgrade it every year21:30
SpamapSCorey: why would he be a fool for running 11.04 ?21:32
medberrysupport life on non-LTS is 18 mo.s IIRC.21:33
SpamapSNobody asked how long the server ies expected to live.21:33
leniostrue medberry21:33
patdk-lapdon't most servers last till the hardware fails? :)21:33
SpamapSOr whether he plans to utilize continuous integration...21:33
SpamapSpatdk-lap: not these days.. they have this thing called virtualization.. ;)21:34
patdk-lapya, I run the vm's the same way21:34
medberryso vzn servers can last longer than the hardware that's running them (via migration)21:34
patdk-laptill the die a horrable death, just it comes less often :)21:34
SpamapSThere are many who simply deploy constantly into test VMs .. and this includes testing on newer versions of the OS.21:35
SpamapSAt my previous company it took 2 years of blood sweat and tears to get rid of RedHat 8.0 because people wanted to keep the same old servers alive until they died.21:35
patdk-lapheh, I was stuck on fc1 :)21:36
patdk-lapcouldn't do much about it, new hardware got rhel521:36
patdk-lapbeen replacing that as I migrate services around21:36
SpamapSThe new model was simple.. maintain config management.. use it to actualize everything.. when a new OS release came out (CentOS 5 in this case) try out all known tests on it, and if they all pass, migrate by re-birthing all services.21:36
SpamapSso I don't know if I'd call him a fool for considering 11.0421:37
SpamapSPerhaps he was just inquiring about the quality of 11.04 vs. 10.0421:37
SpamapSnot the life cycle. :)21:37
hallynstgraber: if/when you get a chance, could you take a look at my proposed fix for 838380?  If there are no problems I'd like to see it pushed after beta release.21:40

jj995I was reading http://serverfault.com/questions/190/zfs-vs-xfs/72743#72743 and saw "using lvm snapshots and xfs on live filesystems is a recipe for disaster especially when using very large filesystems." -- have anybody had good/bad experiences taking snapshots with ~8TB on LVM2?21:42
hallynsoren: it wants to bind-mount the template itself onto the containers /sbin/init.21:43
hallynthe template is under /usr/lib/lxc/tempaltes.  THe contaienr's rootfs is getting set up under /usr/lib/lxc21:43
