Canadian1296Okay, I just installed ubuntu server (yes, this question belongs here.) and I need to connect it to my wifi network to update the packages. It is a WPA network, and I can't seem to connect. I brought down eth0, and brought up wlan0. I read in a guide I needed to install wpaservices. As I have no connection I got the .deb on a memory stick, but I cant install it since it's dependancies need to be updated as well.07:51
twbCanadian1296: one moment07:53
Canadian1296twb: okay thanks :)07:53
twbhttp://paste.debian.net/157275/07:53
twbNote that you cannot perform the initial netboot/d-i install over a WPA network; WEP is OK, WPA is still in the works (at least as at 10.04)07:54
twbwpaservices is not a valid package as at Wheezy or Oneiric.07:56
Canadian1296twb: I have the wpasupplicant (sorry I used the wrong name in the first one) deb on a memory stick as I have no Internet connection to use apt-get, but wpasupplicant has unmet dependancies that I also can't get.07:56
twbThen you need to get them07:57
twbEither borrow an install CD or do apt-get install --print-uris wpasupplicant to find out what packages to install07:57
Canadian1296And yes I used the wrong name before. I'm running natty and it was actually wpasupplicant. Would the easiest way be to set up a unprotected network just to upgrade, then switch to WPA?07:57
twbThe latter assumes you have a working package list already; you might not07:58
Canadian1296twb: the installation is brand new and has never had a net connection.07:58
twbCanadian1296: probably yes.  Easiest would be to just get a 20m ethernet cable and plug it in for a while07:58
Canadian1296Alright, I'll try that then. Thanks for your help :)07:58
Canadian1296I'm going to want a wired connection once I start using the server anyways, I was just going to use wifi so I can have it in a different room to set up.08:00
twbCanadian1296: what you should do is set it up enough to have sshd installed, then leave it and do the rest of the install remotely08:01
twbIf you were still doing the install, that would be done by picking the "network-console" udeb when prompted in an expert (priority=low) install.  If you're already booting off the install, just apt-get install openssh-server.08:02
Canadian1296I already have the openssh server and lamp installed as I selected them during install.08:03
Canadian1296I just need a net connection to get things going08:03

linociscoHow to setup squid proxy server with Two Internet lines of different ISP to failover?13:19
rbasakjamespage: I think I need to remove the Replaces lines. The Conflicts/Replaces presumably exist for an upgrade path. In the case that somebody is upgrading but requested libopenmpi1.5, I don't think we should consider that an upgrade path, and it should just break on the conflicts. So I think I should remove all the Replaces lines, but keep all the Conflicts, and add any Conflicts that aren't already there from the Replaces I'm removing. Does this13:20
rbasak seem sane?13:20
med_rbasak, it would/could still use LXC. It's a solution for Redstone/Moonshot systems. It is still perfectly valid for ARM Server to be pure OpenStack with LXC.13:41
rbasakmed_: so you're thinking of one nova-compute proxy per node, each of which deploy multiple LXC "bare metal" instances?13:41
med_truthfully I'm still noodling the idea.13:42
med_but a nova-compute proxy, yes.13:42
rbasakAs an alternative, how about one nova-compute controller that deploys true bare metal non-LXC instances?13:43
zulyes please :)13:44
rbasakI think the integration point would be the same. Reasons are that I'm not sure about how to manage instances that don't want to share on LXC, that security between LXC instances and LXC-to-host is weak, and potential instance breakage because an LXC environment isn't quite perfect yet.13:46
rbasakNot that I have anything against LXC, but I'm not sure we need it in this case.13:46
rbasakI've been working on automated ARM metal deployment and I have that sussed.13:46

rbasakOne fundamental limitation though is that you're limited to the number of nodes. This may lead to under-utilisation which is one of the benefits of Openstack. I suppose it depends on expected workload and use cases.13:48

gondoii'm trying to build a correctly structured repo for some software, but i'm stock on the <release>-updates part.. what is the best channel to get help on this?16:33
jamespagerbasak, thanks for all of your work on openmpi - its been hard work but interesting!16:34
gondois/stock/stuck16:36
rbasakjamespage: no, thank you!16:38
SpamapSgondoi: you may just want to use reprepro instead16:38
SpamapSgondoi: for running your own apt repo.. its really the simplest way16:39
gondoiyeah that's what I'm using16:39
gondoibut here is the scenario16:39
gondoii use unattended-upgrades16:39
gondoiand I want the updates to pull from <release>-updates, but i've currently only have serveragent setup..so my packages aren't getting auto updated16:40
SpamapSgondoi: I don't know anything about unattended-upgrades .. but I'm sure somebody here will16:40
gondoiI've got an idea of how to get it working... but I just want to make sure I'm doing it right16:41
rbasakThe other day I found what is IMHO a simpler way. I dump the debs in a directory and then run "apt-ftparchive packages .|tee Packages|gzip>Packages.gz; apt-ftparchive release . > Release; gpg --yes -o Release.gpg -ab Release". I prefer it because the only state I have to maintain is the debs in the directory, whereas with reprepro I have to worry about the state it has in its database, write a config file and so on.16:42
SpamapSrbasak: thats "old school" :)16:43
=== Ursinha-nom is now known as Ursinha
rbasakSpamapS: it's fundamentally simpler :)16:43
SpamapSrbasak: old school is almost always simpler.. and preferrable. Yours is also idempoetent.16:44
rbasakYeah, exactly!16:44
rbasakThough of course reprepro also has its uses.16:44
caribouwould anybody have an idea to suggest on where to look when 'lxc-create' fails on trying to do 'apt-get install lxcguest', not being able to resolve the archives.ubuntu.com ???16:44
SpamapSI believe reprepro can be setup in a similar way... but I have not played with it much.16:44
caribouI'm in London and my setup, that works fine @home is not able to create new containerzs16:44
SpamapSrbasak: reprepro is good for prototyping and casual "oo I need that package too" work16:45
caribouFYI, exising lxc containers do work fine with the current network setup16:45
rbasakSpamapS: that's what I've been using my way for - eg. rebuild testing where packages should build-depend on the local copy of the package I've just built16:45
SpamapSrbasak: you really should turn that command you just mentioned into a single command and put it in apt-ftparchive so everyone can benefit. :)16:45
* SpamapS notices that its 15 min till the exterminators arrive and he hasn't even moved the turtles outside yet. DOH16:46
rbasakSpamapS: http://paste.ubuntu.com/854222/ :-)16:46
rbasakSpamapS: and for sbuild, I create ~/repo/add as follows: http://paste.ubuntu.com/854224/. Then sbuild --chroot-setup=~/repo/add does the right thing16:47
rbasakerr, --chroot-setup-commands16:47
Cryp71cI have an ssh connection to a server that's also running X. I'd like to turn off X without destroying my ssh connection, is this possible?17:33
raubvogelCryp71c: X has nothing to do with ssh, so you should be able to turn it off17:37
SpamapSCryp71c: your ssh connection to the other machine is not dependent on X17:37
Cryp71c"/etc/init.d/gdm stop" to stop X?17:37
raubvogelThat should stop your window manager17:38
Cryp71craubvogel, ...I'm a bit confused, WM is not X, is it? (though I think X is the graphical environment where your WM runs?)17:42
=== alaing_ is now known as alaing
JanCCryp71c: stopping the dm (display manager, e.g. gdm or lightdm or kdm or ...) should also stop X17:50
Cryp71cJanC, thanks, indeed it did17:56
WALoeIIII've got lucid server images with console-kit-daemon --no-daemon taking up a large amount of memory, seems like this would not be used on a server, can I remove the consolekit package?17:57
Cryp71cIn htop I have a ton of processes that are all related to one another (threads of a parent process, perhaps)? is there a flag to consolidate some of those?18:03
caribou:218:06
JanCCryp71c: at the bottom left it says "F1 help"  ;-)18:06
JanCwhich shows you the keys to hide threads18:07
JanCor colapse parts of a tree (if you use that view)18:08

ericthesysadminI am trying to get ubuntu to connect to an LDAPS AD server and its not working, I have read that I need the security certificate from the windows server installed on the ubuntu server18:14
ericthesysadminbasically im trying to use php-ldap to authenticate a script to the ldaps server18:14
Cryp71cJanC, I see tree view, that helps, but I don't see how to collapse children of a tree entry.18:23
JanCCryp71c: might depend on the version, but here it says you can use + & - for that18:24
JanCbut to show/hide threads, it's just "H"18:25
Cryp71cH works, thanks.18:28
SockPantshello all19:17
SockPantsi'm sick and tired of having to deal with different systems all the time for development, so i'd like to create a well-configured desktop environment on my server that I can connect to securely from any location over internet19:18
SockPantsbut my experience with vnc over ssh over internet and such aren't very good, the response time is usually unusable even with small distances where both parties are connected by a decent connection19:19
SockPantscould that have been due to bad configuration / setup choices or is that generally the case? if so what should I do?19:19
adam_gzul: i think that creation of keystones admin users/tenant/role/etc shouldn't happen in postinst19:20
MyrttiI'd probably not add vnc in the equasion at all and just use X forwarding over ssh19:20
Myrttibut YMMV19:20
zuladam_g: i was looking at this morning and I happen to agree19:20
adam_gzul: or in packaging at all, it should be on the user to decide that stuff. and its not going to work from postinst without environment variables specific to (sometimes existing) configuration19:20
zuladam_g: agreed19:21
rbasakSockPants: you might look into NX. It's commercial but there's a free version too. I haven't tried it recently, but it was leagues faster than VNC the last time I looked19:21
zulkeystone was breaking because of it when i was installing it this morning19:21
SockPantsrbasak: is it secure enough to use  plain or would I still need ssh tunneling?19:21
Cryp71cSockPants, we used NX at our uni to standardize file locality and development environments...when working in the lab it was like working on a local system (though this was a local network environment)19:22
rbasakSockPants: it uses ssh. What I don't like about it is its expectation of taking over your machine with an "nx" account to mediate the connection, weakening the security. But nowadays you can replace with your own keypair so it's not so bad. I know that freenx were working on a way to eliminate the necessity for an nx account entirely, but I don't know if that's usable yet.19:23
zuladam_g: are we any closer to updating keystone in the archive yet?19:23
SockPantsCryp71c: sounds good. I -should- have a similar environment most of the time since my home is connected to ftth and the server is at uni on fiber not 10 km away, but so far it's not entirely as you would expect19:23
zuladam_g: i want the MIR process to get going again19:24
SockPantsrbasak: i'm looking into it, thanks19:24
rbasakSockPants: they once used to provide test accounts where you could log in to their gnome or kde based server directly to see what it was like. I used it over a congested adsl link and it looked good. I don't know whether they still let you trial it that way or not, but the demonstration was very impressive.19:24
SockPantswell it's good to hear of promising new software in remote desktoping because vnc was old and slow19:26
hallynstgraber: RUUUDE!  I can get a fedora 16 container booted such that I can ssh in, but looking at the systemd source, there is simply no way to stop it from mounting devtmpfs over /dev (apart from apparmor forbidding it :)19:28
hallynso, I'm leaving that be for now.  I'll give it one more shot with the apparmor rules19:28
adam_gzul: e4 is tuesday. i was told thats the feature freeze for keystone, can we wait until then? im trying to get this SQL catalog stuff proposed and merged before then19:28
zuladam_g: yeah i think so19:29
stgraberhallyn: and then systemd will explode ;)19:30
SockPantswhat's the best way to start setting up freenx on my server? it has no GUI yet so it would need to virtualize one, or I could just install it, or I could virtualize an entire OS with vbox19:32
hallynstgraber: haha, fortunately, even though the caller of 'mount_one' checks its return value, *it's* caller ignores it :)19:32
hallynso it should go fine19:32
hallyn(until they "fix that bug")19:32
stgraber;)19:32
hallyn(src/selinux-setup.c and src/mount-setup.c in the systemd source...)19:33
hallynall right my eyes hurt.  quick break, biab19:33
rbasakSockPants: personally, I'd virtualise an entire OS19:35

Klavieradam_g, it s default installation,,, when you installed orchestra, did you manually change 'netboot enabled' ??20:07
Klavieror did you manually enable netboot with cobbler_web?20:08
