[00:02] how can i re-activate my ssh server? seem to have mistakenly uninstalled it. i think i reinstalled it now [00:09] Gallomimia, if openssh-server is installed, so it should work normally (I guess service activation happens when the package is installed) [00:09] hehe === Telg is now known as Telgalizer === Telgalizer is now known as Telg [00:17] waoo awesome :P [00:17] I see a {crypt}x value for the userPassword field in an ldif file for an ldap; what does that mean?

What should I do? [03:55] Are there any 2.7 backports? Or do I have to build python from source? [04:01] There are PPAs that have it, but as with any PPA, check who's PPA it is and decide if you trust them. [04:03] I need to install python 2.7 on lucid. What's the best way to do this? [04:05] stoned: There are PPAs that have it, but as with any PPA, check who's PPA it is and decide if you trust them. [04:05] ScottK: is PPA upload access discretionary? [04:05] twb: anyone can have their own PPA. You just need to sign the Ubuntu Code of Conduct, that's all. [04:05] ScottK: i.e. if I "own" a PPA, can I delegate upload rights to additional people, who maybe you (a user of the PPA) don't trust? [04:06] You can tell who had upload rights. [04:06] What's a PPA? [04:08] I have to also setup mod python for apache for 2.7 [04:08] Should I build from source? [04:09] stoned: why do you need python 2.7 on lucid? [04:09] The server we have where everythign is hosted is lucid [04:09] The client needs to host something that requires 2.7 apparently [04:09] 2.6 is what comes w/ lucid [04:09] Say to them that this is non-trivial. [04:09] I can't. I have to get this done. [04:09] Ask them if it is worth the investment, or if they'd prefer to fix/test their app to work with 2.6 [04:10] I have had this argument with customers before [04:10] For something as deep in the core as python, it will be a headache to backport it to lucid. Best is to fix their app, middle is to upgrade the VPS to 12.04; worst is to try to backport newer python to lucid [04:11] I could backup and restore the sites/db etc. on a new server install [04:11] If it was an "edge" package, the order might be different. [04:11] however, our ip will change [04:11] And they use their own DNS to poitn to our server [04:12] And having them do that takes almost 4-6 weeks (it's a global corporation and paperwork etc.) [04:12] Anyway, deciding on which path to choose is up to the customer; you just need to make them aware of the costs & risks of each choice [04:13] Ok. Thanks. [04:13] I let my CEO know. He will talk to them himself. [04:14] Worst case scenario, we built a new vps for them on new ubuntu [04:14] they should just let us handle the domain but blah [04:14] You might point out that 10.04's already two years into its five-year EOL [04:15] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_estimation [04:17] If you use that technique, you give a biiiiig number for the worst case to demonstrate how iffy the backporting can be [04:18] Like ½/2/14 days [04:18] I always do that [04:19] I learned from my mentor that if it takes 10 hours to do something, tell them 60 best case scenario. [04:19] I mean I get you. [04:19] Haha, that's just inflation [04:19] Heh. [04:19] Well I don't do any billing so I dunno [04:19] I just job it [04:20] I give three-point estimates to my management, who will either make the decisions or bundle it with other estimates and pass the decision up to the customer [04:20] I am reading it [04:20] intersting article [04:20] thanks [04:20] It's really no harder than single-point estimates, and it gives management a lot better understanding on your confidence level for a given task [04:22] Of course its important to understand that "worst case" is also ONLY an estimate. It only covers the "known unknowns" as Cheney put it [04:22] how come your nickname is twb [04:22] It's just an MIT-style username. [04:23] Initials?

IN documantation is said that "-" option will "Provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in directly.". But this is not the case for me on 12.04. When I am loging in directly with the user I have a different $PATH when I am login in with "su - user" [10:21] ARTSIOM: the - assume the new users enviornment [10:22] ARTSIOM: eg: su artsiom just switches user to artsiom, but keeps the current users environment, su - artsiom changes to the user as if you had logged in as that user [10:23] ikonia: but this is exactly what is not working for me. When I am loging in with artsiom directly I have a $PATH variable, which differs from the one I get when I login as "su - artsiom" [10:24] what is the path variable for both [10:26] when I am login in directly I get $PATH which is defined in /etc/environment, when I am login in with su I get - "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games" [10:27] where is /usr/local/games etc set, in your .bash_profile (for example) [10:27] sounds like it's not running a login shell [10:29] /usr/local/games etc, is not set in users's .bashrc and .profile files [10:30] where is that set then ? [10:31] it is defined in /etc/login.defs, but I have no idea why it is loaded when using "su - user" [10:33] I am not even sure that it is really loaded from /etc/login.defs and not from somewhere elese [10:35] quite surprised by that [11:19] hm... with encrypted home, google tells me there's an --encrypted-home flag to useradd, but that doesn't seem to be the case for precise [11:22] RoyK: doesn't core utils have to be built linked against a certain set of libs for that [11:23] no idea - I just want to create a set of users on this new precise install, and I want their homes to be encrypted, so I'm looking for an easy way [11:26] I have problem with installing ubuntu 12.04 server using usb keyboard [11:27] anoman: hm... has worked for me a few times... perhaps BIOS is set to USB legacy? [11:28] not that that should matter [11:28] just guessing [11:29] I have try but not working [11:30] please check if usb legacy is set in BIOS - it might help to change that setting's status [11:33] when entering the BIOS settings to run normally, but when it entered the keyboard is not detected in ubuntu [11:33] but did you check that setting?

I guess it might not be possible [16:49] i can't find anything on google either [16:49] check the meta package and see what it installed [16:53] if on the server u only installed nfs-kernel-server then see whether that pulled in anything else [16:53] apt-rdepends [16:53] or u can search for rpc .. dpkg -l *rpc* === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte === matsubara-lunch is now known as matsubara [17:28] zul: hello. Are we tracking bug #920197 ? [17:29] Launchpad bug 920197 in swift "webob last stable version 1.1.1 response header bug" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/920197 [17:29] nijaba: now we are [17:30] zul: thanks :) [17:34] hmmm MaaS's python script will hang if u've already have an OS installed rather than starting anew. For some reason it tries to use "maas" user to configure postgres but it never prompted to set that up or grant it privileges nor does it state what credentials it is trying to use so you end up with a Traceback and it does not exit. Not cool [17:34] will have to run it with strace [17:35] evening [17:36] anyone that knows how I can have ubuntu /etc/skel include a symlink, public_html -> /var/www/$username ? or should I script that somehow? [17:38] RoyK, i think that's easier done with apache directive: UserDir public_html ? [17:38] nathwill: doesn't work too well with homedir encryption ;) [17:39] should do [17:39] as the user will decrypt it [17:39] while logged in, obviously, but not after logging out [17:39] since that will umount the user's filesystem [17:39] for obvious reasons [17:39] * RoyK just checked [17:39] ah, I see what you mean [17:40] hrm [17:41] nathwill: less point of having homedir encryption if it's mounted all the time [17:41] yeah, agreed [17:42] i'm wondering if you can get /etc/default/useradd to run scripts... [17:42] looking now... [17:42] because putting this in /etc/skel i don't think is going to work since the target is different per user [17:42] yeah, agreed [17:44] so... i'm seeing discussion of some concept of dynamic symlinks that will create the target if it does not exist... [17:44] may be worth investigating [17:46] only other thing i can think of is a cronjob... :( [17:49] nathwill: or a wrapper script [17:49] royk, yeah... [17:49] damn - should have been a trigger for a custom script in useradd [17:52] zul: would you mind looking at and considering sponsoring http://people.canonical.com/~serge/dialog.debdiff ? [17:52] hallyn: sure [17:57] hallyn: make sure you submittodebian :) [17:57] Daviey: did [17:58] \o/ [18:42] on all of my precise virtual machines, I'm getting soft lockups like this: http://pastebin.com/m7ZfhQJB [18:42] not just for nscd, though. for random processes [18:43] hm. ignore me. I seem to be getting them for lucid too [18:57] i am getting "temporary failure resolving '*.ubuntu.com'". i am unsure how to correc this. 12.04 [18:58] smoser: ping [18:59] Ryan_Lane: can you trigger it reliably? [18:59] well, I think it's due to filesystem operations timing out under very high load [18:59] we're using glusterfs underneath the instances, and it is performing terribly [19:00] Ryan_Lane: ext4? [19:00] Ryan_Lane: er...what fs? [19:00] ext4 on the instance, then qcow, then glusterfs, then ext3 [19:01] Ryan_Lane: can you open up a bug in launchpad please than we can get the kernel team to look at it, or even on #ubuntu-kernel [19:01] well, I have a feeling it isn't actually a kernel bug [19:02] smoser: ^^^ [19:02] or utlemming: ^^^ [19:02] and there's so many levels of indirection that I doubt a report is going to be terribly useful [19:02] when we switch off gluster I'll report an issue if we're still having it [19:02] k [19:02] I have a really good feeling gluster is my issue [19:11] hello, having some trouble getting squid3 set up... client machines are supposed to be set to use a proxy for their updates, but I'm still getting a ton of 403 errors whenever they try to use the squid proxy [19:23] veebull: does manually setting the proxy work? if so, are the clients listed under the squid ACL in its config? [19:23] zul, whats up? [19:24] smoser: you mentioned last week at uds that you wanted to see the openstack-ci do some benchmarking on the images, what do you mean by that [19:25] veebull, your squid3 ocnfig is probably just not allowing proxying for those hosts (per its config). [19:25] hallyn: i should have libvirt up tomorrow so you can review and play with it [19:25] RoyK, So far I just have the default setup - I think I need to define an acl for the local lan [19:25] veebull, you can just install squid-deb-proxy, which is taylored to that, or, you could just look at the config that it uses. [19:25] here is the (stripped) version of my acl: http://paste.ubuntu.com/989497/ [19:25] zul: cool, thanks. [19:26] smoser, already have squid-deb-proxy running for the ubuntu-based vms... trying to set up 'regular' squid to work with the RH-based distros [19:26] zul, i meant that if we're running some instances in a per-every-something (commit, day....) then we might as well be running some thing inside those instances, and timing how long that something takes. [19:27] smoser: ah ok [19:27] which would potentially give us insight into a kvm performance enhancement, regression, change... [19:27] (but it will unfortunately be hard to isolate the numbers as we have no way that i know of to get a consistent host environment ... ie, one day 2 guests may go to 1 host, the next to a different one) [19:28] veebull, ah... i suggest just removing the RH-based distros. [19:28] thats the easiest thing to do :) [19:29] smoser, true... but probably not going to happen ;) [19:30] veebull: vi /etc/squid/squid.conf, look for acl [19:30] I've edited their /etc/yum.conf files to point to a proxy @ 'http://192.168.1.1:3128', which is the ubuntu server address on the lan [19:30] veebull: default config is to only allow access from localhost [19:31] RoyK, ah. un commented the line to allow squid to use a disk cache, now I need to set up a lan acl, yes? [19:31] yep [19:31] create an acl for lan [19:32] and set allow on that named acl later [19:32] cool, I'll give it a go. [19:32] veebull: the config file is rather self-explainatory if you try to read it ;) [19:34] yeah... I hate it when people say 'TLDR'... but this may be one of those times. [19:34] more a case of the colors used on the terminal screen I'm on make reading comments very difficult [19:34] on the eyes. [19:35] I was wondering if anyone had any idea's on how to handle nodes that do not appear in the dashboard. I used the enlist feature on Ubuntu ISO, the environment looked like it provisioned, but it hasn't shown up in the MAAS node panel yet. [19:38] is it a risk to have portmap exposed to the internet? [19:38] err rpcbind i guess [19:38] like can it leak anything important? [19:39] veebull: with vim, :set background=dark [19:39] claude2_: historically, portmap has been rather bad, but I don't think much bad has happened the last five years, at last [19:41] RoyK: we've got internal and external interfaces on our NFS clients. I've been searching all day for a way to make it only listen to the internal interface [19:43] claude2_: ufw/iptables is quite easy to use in that respect [19:44] yeah I'm trying to do it without iptables first for political reasons [19:44] I think it uses tcpwrappers as well [19:44] might be more politically correct ;) [19:45]
