| josePhoenix | Hello all | 00:58 |
| josePhoenix | I just updated apport (which I assume is part of the default set of packages?) and the service was unable to start afterwards. Should I be worried? | 00:58 |
| josePhoenix | Hmm. It looks like it's disabled now, but then shouldn't it not try to start the service at all? >.> | 01:00 |
| SpamapS | josePhoenix: can you explain why you think it wsa unable to start? | 01:00 |
| josePhoenix | SpamapS: I just did apt-get upgrade and saw the following lines in the output: | 01:02 |
| josePhoenix | "Setting up apport (1.23-0ubuntu4) ..." "start: Job failed to start" "invoke-rc.d: initscript apport, action "start" failed."" | 01:02 |
| josePhoenix | When I tried 'service apport start', I got "start: Job failed to start" | 01:03 |
| nonsenso | josePhoenix: anything useful in syslog? | 01:07 |
| josePhoenix | It looks like exactly this bug from April in terms of errors. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/767498 | 01:10 |

| josePhoenix | Yup, 1.23-0ubuntu4 | 01:13 |
| josePhoenix | I'm going to try purging and reinstalling the package | 01:13 |
| josePhoenix | Nope, still failed. | 01:14 |
| josePhoenix | Hm. The latest version of the package seems to be installing a script broken in the same way described on that launchpad bug | 01:19 |

| Resistance | how can i tell apt-get/aptitude to *not* upgrade a package using a backports PPA? | 03:35 |
| SpamapS | Resistance: pinning | 03:37 |
| Resistance | SpamapS: how do i pin the php5-* packages then? | 03:37 |
| * Resistance backported php from oneiric to natty, but doesnt want to update php on this particular server *unless* the update comes from the main repos (i.e. not the ppa) | 03:37 | |
| Resistance | other software exists in the ppa which needs to remain installed, so removing the PPA isnt an option | 03:38 |
| SpamapS | http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html is pretty good | 03:38 |
| SpamapS | Resistance: basically you would list it in /etc/apt/preferences | 03:38 |
| SpamapS | Resistance: man apt_preferences | 03:38 |
| Resistance | thanks | 03:39 |
| Resistance | will aptitude honor the pin as well? | 03:41 |
| * Resistance uses aptitude over apt-get | 03:41 | |
| SpamapS | Resistance: I don't, so I don't know. | 03:44 |
| qman__ | I think a better solution in your case would be to install the package, then remove the PPA | 03:58 |
| qman__ | if you don't want any updates from that PPA, it'll just keep your version because it's newer | 03:58 |
| Resistance | well since its my own PPA of backports... | 03:59 |
| Resistance | broder said use one PPA for staging, another for deployment | 03:59 |
| qman__ | if you pin it it won't update at all, which works, but you then have to manually update again later | 03:59 |
| Resistance | (which would of course eliminate this issue altogether) | 03:59 |
| Resistance | s/said/recommended to/ | 03:59 |
| qman__ | also a good plan | 04:00 |
| Resistance | well this way i dont flood the deployment ppa with failed builds xD | 04:00 |

| caribou | I have a question for the Ubuntu virtualization team :-) | 13:17 |
| caribou | or any member of that team | 13:17 |
| drt24 | caribou: in general ask the question rather than asking to asks (I am not a member of that team though) | 13:33 |
| caribou | drt24: I don't want to sound rude, but the last time I asked, it just got lost in the flow of the conversation | 13:33 |
| caribou | I'm dealing with a bug on vmbuilder that I'm able to reproduce | 13:33 |
| caribou | I 'heard' rumors that vmbuilder was being phased out | 13:34 |
| caribou | I wanted to check that before pushing the bug further | 13:34 |
| drt24 | caribou: yes that tends to happen, sorry. | 13:35 |
| caribou | drt24: oh, don't worry I do miss a lot of stuff too | 13:36 |
| caribou | depends on the activity in the room | 13:36 |
| soren | caribou: Noone's actively maintaining VMBuilder, no. It gets the odd bug fix, but that's it. | 13:47 |
| caribou | soren: ah, ok. | 13:47 |
| caribou | soren: the bug I'm working on involves file system corruption when using -raw devices | 13:48 |
| caribou | soren: I'll see if I can identify the portion of code involved | 13:48 |
| soren | hallyn: The changelog says: "Fix default network autostart symlink disappearing on upgrade", but it's really quite the opposite. It re-appears even if you've removed it. | 13:48 |
| caribou | soren: what is the alternative to vmbuilder these days ? | 13:51 |
| soren | caribou: IIRC, http://live.debian.net/ | 13:53 |
| caribou | soren: thanks I'll give it a look | 13:54 |
| soren | hallyn: Or am I confused? | 13:54 |
| soren | hallyn: HAving the link reappear used to be the problem. Did that get fixed and now you're trying to fix a new problem that appeared? | 13:55 |
| hallyn | soren: historically, if you removed the symlink it would always reappear, bc the symlink shipped as a file part of the pkg | 14:00 |
| soren | hallyn: Right. | 14:00 |
| soren | hallyn: I thought that was what you were fixing, but I gather that has been addressed earlier? | 14:01 |
| hallyn | then i thought i fixed it, but i did it wrong, so that it disappeared for anyone upgrading from old version | 14:01 |
| soren | I see, ok. | 14:01 |
| hallyn | iow, it maintained the link if it exists, | 14:01 |
| hallyn | but as part of the upgrade, the file went away, so it never existed at postinst time | 14:01 |
| soren | Right. | 14:01 |
| jason00 | hello | 14:02 |
| hallyn | so for anyone who upgrades now from oneiric to precise, it should do the right thing. | 14:02 |
| jason00 | should my system not re-generate the NICs if I delete 70-persistent-net.rules and reboot? | 14:02 |
| soren | hallyn: When did this change land? (the one that solved the link constantly reappearling) | 14:02 |
| soren | jason00: yes | 14:03 |
| soren | jason00: Oh, wait. | 14:03 |
| soren | jason00: No. | 14:03 |
| jason00 | are you sure? I was... literally... positive it would. | 14:03 |
| jason00 | did I whoopsie? :( | 14:03 |
| soren | jason00: Sorry, yes :) | 14:03 |
| jason00 | IM CONFUSED | 14:03 |
| soren | jason00: No, I was just confused. I got the numbers mixed up. | 14:03 |
| jason00 | :P | 14:03 |
| hallyn | soren: i'm at the wrong laptop right now to check the changelog. it was very recently though | 14:03 |
| hallyn | i think last friday | 14:04 |
| soren | hallyn: In precise? | 14:04 |
| soren | hallyn: Or somewhere else as well? | 14:04 |
| hallyn | yes - i'm SRUing it eventually | 14:04 |
| soren | hallyn: Ok, let me think this through. My input yesterday was based on my (wrong) assumption that it was the originial problem you were adressing. | 14:04 |
| jason00 | soren: I deleted the 70-persistent-net.rules file and rebooted hoping it would regenerate. It regenerated my onboard NIC, but not my PCI NIC. I did however just run sudo ifconfig eth0 up and I see it again... | 14:04 |
| hallyn | but so far only in precise | 14:04 |
| jason00 | I wonder if I reboot now that it's up if it'll repopulate its entry in the 70 persistent file? | 14:04 |
| hallyn | soren: why, are you having trouble with the new package? | 14:05 |
| soren | hallyn: Haven't tried it. It's just a slightly different problem, so I want to make sure my suggestions were sound. | 14:06 |
| soren | hallyn: I hadn't realised you had already uploaded it, so I was reviewing the debdiff. | 14:06 |
| hallyn | oh, i see | 14:07 |
| hallyn | if you're upgrading from an old version, it'll detect that symlink is htere (or not), and recreate it when pkg deleted it; if from newer version (i.e. henceforth) it'll just let it keep existing | 14:08 |
| hallyn | (and if upgrading from one of the last few, broken, versions, it recreates it) | 14:08 |
| soren | hallyn: Instead of enumerating all the broken versions, you should use dpkg --compare-versions. | 14:09 |
| soren | Well, not "broken", but ykwim. | 14:09 |
| hallyn | thanks, that sounds nicer | 14:10 |
| alex88 | hi guys, how can i reinstall a package with apt-get? | 14:10 |
| hallyn | i'll look it up and change it - though i was sort of hoping it would be reasonable toremove that bit after awhile :) | 14:10 |
| hallyn | apt-get install --reinstall pkg | 14:10 |
| soren | hallyn: Actually, you can fold that into the first conditional ("if -z $2") | 14:10 |
| soren | hallyn: So you'd replace "if -z $2" with.. | 14:11 |
| jason00 | wow. I'm super confused. | 14:11 |
| jason00 | my other NIc entry is still not in 70 persistent net rules :( | 14:12 |
| jason00 | can I just copy the first and swap the eth # and mac addr? | 14:12 |
| soren | jason00: Sure. | 14:12 |
| hallyn | soren: yeah, sounds good. (yesterday i just wanted to keep things split to think things through clearly :) | 14:12 |
| jason00 | I'm baffled as to why its not coming back. maybe I need to delete the entire file now that I have the interface up. | 14:12 |
| jason00 | har har har | 14:12 |
| jason00 | that may be it... | 14:12 |
| soren | hallyn: Sure, and that's fine. Feel free to keep it that way, if it helps you grok it going forward. | 14:13 |
| soren | hallyn: As for when we can drop it: The first upload to precise+1. | 14:13 |
| soren | hallyn: You can make a comment to that effect in the file itself. | 14:13 |
| hallyn | soren: and why exactly is that? there's a rationale spelled out somewhere? | 14:14 |
| soren | hallyn: Working on it :) | 14:14 |
| hallyn | :) | 14:14 |
| soren | hallyn: We support upgrades from LTS to LTS. | 14:14 |
| soren | hallyn: ...and we support upgades from the release immediately preceding the LTS to the LTS. | 14:15 |
| soren | hallyn: ..and we sort of support upgrade from anywhere in the dev cycle to the final release. | 14:15 |
| soren | hallyn: This problem only existed during the precise dev cycle. | 14:15 |
| ogra_ | "sort of" | 14:15 |
| soren | hallyn: Do you disagree? | 14:16 |
| soren | hallyn: So the only situation where you cuold reasonably see this is when you're upgrading from mid-cycle precise to final precise. | 14:16 |
| soren | hallyn: Hence, the first upload to precise+1 doesn't need to worry about it. | 14:16 |
| hallyn | soren: meaning that before upgrading to the LTS, you're supposed to do a dist-upgrade first? | 14:18 |
| hallyn | if that is the case (as i recall reading) then that (removing it at first p+1 upload) does make sense | 14:18 |
| soren | hallyn: Yes. | 14:19 |
| jason00 | hmm, whats the command for rebooting dhcp service? I thought it was sudo service dhcp3 stop/start etc | 14:19 |
| patdk-wk | dhcp3-server | 14:20 |
| jason00 | unrecognized service | 14:20 |
| patdk-wk | maybe your using dnsmasq? | 14:20 |
| jason00 | no idea? | 14:20 |
| jason00 | Its a pretty vanilla install | 14:20 |
| patdk-wk | hpow should I know\ | 14:20 |
| patdk-wk | you mean the dhcp client? | 14:20 |
| jason00 | I'm setting this up as a server. I didn't do anything other than install ubuntu and fog + ltsp, which both use dhcp | 14:21 |
| jason00 | I'm just not sure I can get them to play nice on the same box with 2 NICs | 14:21 |
| zul | good morning | 14:22 |
| hallyn | soren: now the q is only whether I can remember that reasoning in a few months :) (i'll write it down to add as comment to the src on next upload) | 14:24 |
| hallyn | soren: thanks | 14:24 |
| soren | ogra_: Do you disagree? | 14:25 |
| soren | ogra_: On the "sort of"? | 14:25 |
| ogra_ | soren, well, no, but the sort of actually means that we dont really care in some cases for dev -> final updates | 14:25 |
| ogra_ | (which we actually often dont do, often it is just release noted in the milestone wheer we fixed it) | 14:26 |
| soren | ogra_: Yeah. I would consider the bug valid.. | 14:26 |
| soren | ogra_: ...but probably not worry a whole lot about fixing it. | 14:27 |
| ogra_ | yeah | 14:27 |
| soren | ogra_: hence "sort of" :) | 14:27 |
| jason00 | seems as if 70 persistent net rules is being a brat | 14:27 |
| soren | It depends on teh bug, really. | 14:27 |
| jason00 | only finds 1 of the devices, or 3, but only 2 exist | 14:27 |
| jason00 | it wont find just two | 14:27 |
| ogra_ | just release note it for alpha2 :) | 14:27 |
| hallyn | ogra_: which are you talking about right now? my libvirt snafu, or something else? | 14:28 |
| ogra_ | nothing specific ... just the statement that we support in-dev-release upgrades | 14:29 |
| ogra_ | or dev to final | 14:29 |
| ogra_ | we often dont, even though we try to | 14:29 |
| ogra_ | and just release note the issue | 14:29 |
| hallyn | ok | 14:30 |
| jason00 | sweet | 14:37 |
| jason00 | now its not re-generating 70 persistent net rules | 14:37 |
| jason00 | nice | 14:37 |
| pmatulis | jason00: you erased the file? | 14:40 |
| jason00 | yes | 14:40 |
| pmatulis | jason00: it used to be re-generated on older releases, what are you running? | 14:41 |
| jason00 | 11.10. it regenerated fine about 2 or 3 times. I kept deleting it because each time it populated, it populated the wrong mac addresses. It was rather baffling. Now all of the sudden, it wont regenerate. | 14:41 |
| jason00 | to make things worse, I hit "shut down" instead of restart accidentally. once I hit the power button to turn my server back on, it wouldnt turn on. | 14:42 |
| jason00 | really? | 14:42 |
| pmatulis | jason00: hm, i wouldn't expect it to re-gen on 11.10, maybe that funct. was restored | 14:42 |
| jason00 | if it doesnt regenerate, what other option is there pmatulis ? | 14:43 |
| pmatulis | jason00: copy from another system? | 14:43 |
| jason00 | lol | 14:43 |
| jason00 | thats really the answer? | 14:43 |
| jason00 | hello we removed functionality so plz install another instance to copy it over | 14:43 |
| pmatulis | jason00: dunno if that's the only answer | 14:43 |
| soren | jason00: What do you mean "the wrong mac address2? | 14:44 |
| soren | s/2/"/ | 14:44 |
| pmatulis | jason00: you don't have network so hard to use apt | 14:44 |
| jason00 | soren: the one time I booted up, it populated 3 network cards. 2 of them were incorrect in terms of their mac address. | 14:44 |
| jason00 | the 3rd one was fine | 14:44 |
| soren | jason00: How are they "incorrect"? | 14:45 |
| jason00 | I just want the system to, A, power on since it wont turn on all of the sudden, and B, put in the 2 proper NICs I want to use in the system | 14:45 |
| jason00 | their mac address | 14:45 |
| jason00 | is completely incorrect | 14:45 |
| soren | jason00: Did it just make up random macs? | 14:45 |
| jason00 | what? | 14:45 |
| jason00 | no | 14:45 |
| jason00 | er | 14:45 |
| jason00 | yeah | 14:45 |
| jason00 | I thought you asked if I made them up | 14:45 |
| soren | What are these NIC's? | 14:45 |
| soren | Make/model? | 14:45 |
| jason00 | I'd tell ya if my system didnt shut off and not turn back on... | 14:45 |
| jason00 | one is atheros... | 14:46 |
| jason00 | the other I'm not sure. a 3com of some sort. | 14:46 |
| soren | Do you have the macs? | 14:46 |
| soren | Can I see them, please? | 14:46 |
| jason00 | I'd tell ya if my system didnt shut off and not turn back on... | 14:46 |
| jason00 | it didnt match what ifconfig was reporting | 14:47 |
| jason00 | omg it lives. | 14:48 |
| soren | jason00: It'll pass. | 14:48 |
| jason00 | k, back up and running. still no persistent file. | 14:56 |

| rbasak | RoAkSoAx: OK, thanks. I'll go ahead with the backport without the fix | 17:01 |
| RoAkSoAx | rbasak: but the bug report is for cobbler 2.3.1-1 while in precise we currently have cobbler-2.2.2 | 17:02 |

| ogra_ | smoser, Daviey, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2011-December/255178.html ... is there any place i could point that guy from the ubuntu-users ML to ? | 17:16 |
| rbasak | RoAkSoAx: please could you review lp:~racb/ubuntu/oneiric/cobbler/security_201112 - it's a bundle of all the security updates for oneiric, including the csrf bug | 17:17 |
| * zul lunches | 17:17 | |
| smoser | is this openstack, ogra_ ? there is a large amount of missing information there. | 17:18 |
| RoAkSoAx | rbasak: will addd it to my todo for today ;) | 17:18 |
| rbasak | thanks :) | 17:18 |
| ogra_ | smoser, thats why i ask here, do you guys have an EC2 support ML or some such ? | 17:18 |
| ogra_ | seems unlikely that he will get the right info (or be asked for the right logs etc) on the ubuntu-users ML | 17:19 |
| smoser | i dont think that is ec2 | 17:20 |
| smoser | but there is an ubuntu-cloud mailing list | 17:20 |
| smoser | which would be more relevant. | 17:20 |
| ogra_ | thanks, i'll point him there | 17:20 |
| smoser | thanks ogra_ | 17:21 |
| jamespage | is it possible to configure multiple network interfaces through preseeding? | 18:01 |
| koolhead17 | hi all | 18:07 |
| tash | hi, trying install Ubuntu server 10.04 on a system that already had a version of Red Hat installed with LVM. During install, it cannot partition the drive b/c an LVM exists. It says I have to remove that first. I don't know how, can someone help? | 18:08 |
| blkperl | tash: i think you want vgremove and pvremove | 18:11 |
| tash | can I run that from the installer though? Or do I have to boot to the hard disk? | 18:11 |
| blkperl | if the installer has a shell and lvm commands yes | 18:12 |
| hallyn | drat. i've managed to make sudo not setuid-root. | 18:12 |
| hallyn | yay, found an open root shell | 18:13 |
| smoser | RoAkSoAx, http://pad.daviey.com/smoser-cobbler-late-command is what i came up with. | 18:21 |
| smoser | looks reasonably usable. other than needing to add a snppiit file. | 18:21 |
| tash | blkperl: do you know which to use first? vgremove pvremove | 18:28 |
| tash | that order? | 18:28 |
| zul | smoser: you might want to change the password while you are there as well | 18:28 |
| patdk-wk | vgchange first :) | 18:28 |
| patdk-wk | to deactivate it | 18:29 |
| tash | patdk-wk: vgchange <drive> or just vgchange? | 18:30 |
| patdk-wk | vgchange -a n volgroup | 18:31 |
| patdk-wk | basically, unmount it first, before you mess with it :) | 18:32 |
| tash | this would be easier if I was not remote ... I don't have a way of connecting remotely and have to walk someone through it | 18:33 |
| tash | so, to find the volgroup, will 'mount' tell me that? | 18:33 |
| tash | hmm, vgdisplay may do the trick to show me that, no? | 18:35 |
| marut | vgdisplay | 18:40 |
| marut | vgs | 18:40 |
| marut | vgscan | 18:40 |
| marut | etc | 18:40 |
| robo_ | what is the expected behavior if i bring up a network interface using an IP address already in use? | 18:50 |
| robo_ | i did that by accident last night and i don't see anything in the error log and it let me do it | 18:51 |
| RoAkSoAx | smoser: cool, I'll look inot it further.. though I also wanna separate the late command template into a common place to be re-used | 18:52 |
| RoAkSoAx | instead of manually adding it to each .py file we create | 18:52 |
| smoser | that makes sense. | 18:52 |
| smoser | which woudl then make *that* thing able to use python dirctly. | 18:52 |
| RoAkSoAx | indeed | 18:52 |
| smoser | i also thought of having just by default running scripts in run-parts order from /var/lib/cobbler/late_command.d | 18:53 |
| smoser | or something | 18:53 |
| smoser | early_command.d would also be possible | 18:53 |
| RoAkSoAx | yeah that'd also be like a good idea | 18:53 |
| smoser | then all i have to do is put stuff in that directory rather than modifying | 18:53 |
| RoAkSoAx | smoser: yeah | 18:54 |
| zul | RoAkSoAx: have you thought of moving redhat snippets and ubuntu snippets in their own directories? | 18:55 |
| RoAkSoAx | zul: what I was thinking is just to be: ubuntu_abc_xyz, ubuntu_123_456 and so on | 18:56 |
| RoAkSoAx | zul: but organizing into files sounds like a good idea | 18:56 |
| RoAkSoAx | err into directories* | 18:57 |
| RoAkSoAx | zul: so snippets/ubuntu/orchestra/ too then | 18:58 |
| smoser | RoAkSoAx, i thought i read that there is some provision for using distro specifcik kickstart scripts... | 18:58 |
| smoser | something.. | 18:58 |
| RoAkSoAx | smoser: https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/KickstartSnippets | 18:59 |
| RoAkSoAx | /var/lib/cobbler/snippets/per_distro/$snippet_name/$distro_name | 18:59 |

| uvirtbot | Launchpad bug 901826 in ubuntu "cloud image tarballs have -generic kernel" [High,Confirmed] | 19:03 |
| smoser | RoAkSoAx, right. thats what i read. | 19:03 |
| * utlemming looks | 19:04 | |
| incorrect | is there another kernel i should use for kvm other than -server? | 19:05 |
| smoser | incorrect, you *can* use -virtual | 19:05 |
| smoser | but it may not have everything you want. | 19:05 |
| smoser | its just smaller, less modules and drivers | 19:06 |
| incorrect | just wondered if there was one that would be better suited | 19:06 |
| utlemming | smoser: I'll have a code review shortly for you on that | 19:07 |
| utlemming | smoser: that's a one line fix | 19:11 |
| orudie | how can I update phpmyadmin if i installed it with apt-get ? | 19:12 |
| pmatulis | orudie: what version do you have now and what release of 'buntu are you using? | 19:23 |
| ajmitch | SpamapS: fwiw, I've got a php 5.4.0 rc2 package in progress, waiting on the PPA buildds to tell me how it goes. I based it off the beta2 package in experimental | 19:38 |
| RoyK | orudie: uninstall phpmyadmin and reinstall it from source - see #phpmyadmin for details :รพ | 19:46 |

| hallyn | ahs3: have you had a chance to look at the netcf updates? | 20:36 |
| ahs3 | hallyn: sigh. not yet :(. day job has been getting in the way. do you have deadline you want to meet? | 20:37 |
| hallyn | ahs3: not particularly, it just occurred to me as i was considering doing the MIR. Though I do think the libnl switch will make the difference in debian's libvirt being able to link against it. | 20:38 |
| hallyn | to be clear: ic an't upload to it myself, right? | 20:38 |
| ahs3 | hallyn: ah, good to know. no, you need to be a DM or DD so that you're in the keyring. | 20:39 |
| ahs3 | i'm hoping to get to it tomorrow...but none of this week has gone as planned :) | 20:40 |
| hallyn | ahs3: i know how it goes :) thanks much | 20:40 |
| ahs3 | hallyn: np. sorry for the delays | 20:42 |
| hallyn | Daviey: played with netcf on new precise install, working fine. | 20:44 |
| raubvogel | Anyone doing syncrepl proxy in ldap? | 21:16 |
| baffle | raubvogel: Syncrepl proxy? We use olcSyncProvConfig .. | 21:18 |
| baffle | raubvogel: syncprov I mean. | 21:19 |
| raubvogel | baffle: I want to do this: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html#Syncrepl%20Proxy and am not getting the ldap proxy part of the show | 21:20 |
| raubvogel | Reason is I want the master/provider to push the data to the replicas since master is behind nat | 21:20 |
| kaje1 | I'm getting an error trying to start a VM on my Ubuntu 10.04 server. "Error starting domain: could not remove profile for 'libvirt-672b346a-65d4-41be-96f9-a83ef556efb2'" | 21:22 |
| kaje1 | I think it started after a recent upgrade to some libvirt packages... | 21:23 |
| kaje1 | Anyone else experiencing this? | 21:23 |
| kaje1 | Any suggestions? | 21:23 |
| tash | sighs, I lost my notes on partitioning a drive for ext4 manually | 21:31 |
| tash | fdisk? | 21:31 |
| baffle | raubvogel: Oh, that's not like our setup. | 21:31 |
| baffle | raubvogel: I think we do master master master replication. :) | 21:32 |
| raubvogel | baffle: what I had before was a garden-variety delta syncrepl. And It made sense to me. But I have not wrapped my mind int he syncreply proxy thingie. | 21:33 |
| smoser | RoAkSoAx, have you ever seen this? | 21:35 |
| smoser | i did a precise install from cobbler/orhestra | 21:36 |
| smoser | it got through, disabled netboot, and then it boots, i see a flicker of the selection screen, then "press a key to reboot" | 21:36 |
| smoser | as if its not falling back to the disk | 21:36 |
| smoser | if i select the disk to boot from rather than network, all is well (ie, the disk *does* boot fine). | 21:36 |
| hallyn | ahs3: Daviey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/764276/ libvirt hookup to netcf was as trivial as you'd hope | 21:37 |
| ahs3 | hallyn: very sweet. well done :) | 21:41 |
| hallyn | ahs3: had to make sure that would work before doing the MIR :) | 21:41 |
| hallyn | cause otherwise wouldn't i feel the fool | 21:41 |
| ahs3 | sheesh. details, man | 21:42 |
| hallyn | ahs3: say, now, if i ITP another package, does it ever happen that people jsut happen by willing to sponsor it, or does one always need to basically ping someone directly? | 21:42 |
| === bladernr_ is now known as bladernr_afk | ||
| baffle | hallyn: Oh, netcf + libvirt in Ubuntu? Been waiting for that for a while. :) | 21:43 |
| hallyn | baffle: good to hear :) but netcf won't be built into libvirt until it's in main | 21:43 |
| ahs3 | hallyn: it can always go in the mentors queue. someone may get interested and sponsor it, or you may get impatient and poke someone | 21:44 |
| hallyn | ahs3: ok, thx. i'l lworry about that after MIRs | 21:44 |
| RoAkSoAx | smoser: hardware or VM? | 21:53 |
| RoAkSoAx | smoser: is this with latest cobbler? | 21:53 |
| RoAkSoAx | smoser: if it is a VM, it might be becaus eof the recent change to the PXE file. so in /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/01-<mac-address> change KERNEL chain.c32 to LOCALBOOT -1 | 22:07 |

| kaushal | is there a step by step guide to configure syslog-ng on Ubuntu Server 10.04 and point all clients to this Syslog-Ng server ? | 23:01 |
| === mendel__ is now known as mendel_ | ||
| jmedina | kaushal: why dont you follow the official documentation form syslog-ng? | 23:06 |
| * jmedina prefers rsyslog | 23:06 | |
| kaushal | jmedina: ok | 23:16 |
| kaushal | How is rsyslog advantages over syslog | 23:16 |
| jmedina | syslog is not maintained.... | 23:16 |
| jmedina | rsyslog is the new default syslog daemon in ubuntu... | 23:17 |
| kaushal | ok | 23:17 |
| jmedina | let me give you the link to a canonical document about centralized syslog setup | 23:17 |
| kaushal | how do i configure client to rsyslog ? | 23:18 |
| jmedina | http://www.canonical.com/about-canonical/resources/white-papers/centralised-logging-rsyslog | 23:18 |
| jmedina | and the comparison: http://rsyslog.com/doc/rsyslog_ng_comparison.html | 23:19 |
| jmedina | http://rgerhards.blogspot.com/2007/08/why-does-world-need-another-syslogd.html | 23:20 |
| jmedina | I use rsyslog as client and server, on the client side I use MySQL as log store, and then I use LogAnalyzer for search and analisis | 23:23 |
| jmedina | right now Im generating some reports for a customer | 23:23 |
| jmedina | LogAnalyzer it is a web interface, and it is free | 23:23 |
| jmedina | I mean on the server side.. | 23:23 |
| kaushal | ok | 23:28 |
