[00:00] <casey> I'm logged in as 'casey'
[00:00] <arrrghhh> you have to be su'd as some user...
[00:00] <casey> hence why ls ~ resolves to /home/casey
[00:00] <arrrghhh> regardless, i am not an expert here.
[00:00] <arrrghhh> i would suggest you either remove it
[00:00] <arrrghhh> or blow it all away and start over.
[00:00] <arrrghhh> good luck.
[00:00] <casey> no, you don't have to be su'd to any user - su == Switch User.
[00:00] <casey> I'm just /logged in/ as casey, not su'd to anything else.
[00:00] <arrrghhh> my point is you have to be running the commands as SOME user.
[00:00] <arrrghhh> yeesh.
[00:00] <casey> yes.
[00:01] <arrrghhh> so i'd say those are your options
[00:01] <arrrghhh> remove the encryption
[00:01] <arrrghhh> start over, don't encrypt.
[00:01] <arrrghhh> good luck
[00:01] <casey> lol, ok.
[00:01] <casey> wonder what other features are going to bite me like this.
[00:02] <arrrghhh> i wonder what else you glazed over during the install?
[00:04] <casey> don't blame me because something deemed stable enough to be an installer choice is unstable.
[00:04] <arrrghhh> casey, you seem to be blaming everyone but yourself.
[00:04] <arrrghhh> the truth is, the installer gave you the choice
[00:04] <arrrghhh> you made the choice to encrypt your /home.
[00:04] <arrrghhh> nothing is broken with it, encryption works great.
[00:05] <casey> clearly it is broken.
[00:05] <casey> I can't rm anything nor copy anything new in.
[00:05] <arrrghhh> i don't know, i've never encrypted my /home.
[00:05] <arrrghhh> all i know is a LOT of other people use it, without issue
[00:05] <arrrghhh> you seem to be using it without your own knowledge of using it, which is odd.
[00:05] <casey> and I'm not the one claiming it to be worthy of an installer choice in a distribution deemed suitable for server deployment.
[00:05] <casey> yep, I'm pretty sure it was the default.
[00:06] <arrrghhh> and i'm pretty sure you didn't read any of the questions it asked
[00:06] <arrrghhh> surprised you got it partitioned correctly.
[00:06] <casey> in any case it doesn't matter, if it's a selectable option, it should WORK.
[00:06] <arrrghhh> it does work, for a lot of people as i stated.  not sure what your issue is, sorry.
[00:06] <arrrghhh> i'm out.
[00:06] <casey> you're making a lot of fucking negative assumptions and accusations about me
[00:06] <casey> grow the fuck up
[00:07] <casey> perhaps the encrypted idea seemed good at the time, and it worked up until now, I really don't remember.  That's not the point.
[00:08] <casey> the point is the server is broken now, for no apparent reason.
[00:08] <casey> do you remember every detail without question about how you set up some random server in the past?
[00:08] <casey> if not, is it fair for me to blame the distributions problems on you?
[00:19] <three18ti> casey, I totally had a smartass comment for you, but you quit. :(
[03:04] <ubuntu_> does anybody know or have worked with the dns software ldapdns is that equivalent to dns with dnssec or was there some other objective to uses ldap with dns ?
[03:16] <CanAnon__> hey guyss...... Anyone have a sec to help me out
[03:17] <CanAnon__> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyone at all?
[03:29] <CanAnon__> herrowww?
[03:38] <phillw> hi, any admins about for the mailing list?
[03:38] <CanAnon__> i donno
[03:39] <CanAnon__> i need samba help :\ no one answered :\
[03:40] <phillw> CanAnon__: i'm not the best on samba, but I do know where to find the pages on it; if that would help?
[03:40] <CanAnon__> well basically I cannot figure out why my samba share only works when an SSH connection is open
[03:40] <CanAnon__> I just want it to work without that :\
[03:41] <CanAnon__> if that makes any sense
[03:41] <phillw> CanAnon__: have you had a good read of https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html ?
[03:42] <CanAnon__> yessir
[03:43] <phillw> samba is not my favourite subject, sadly I do not have my notes with me (I'm on holiday).
[03:43] <CanAnon__> ah thanks anyways
[03:43] <CanAnon__> i appreciate the effort
[03:44] <phillw> CanAnon__: then go raise a question at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=339
[03:44] <phillw> I'd have helped if I had my books with me, the people there do not bite.
[03:44] <CanAnon__> haha thanks
[03:46] <phillw> they're real nice people, you are in safe hands.
[03:50] <r0llz>  When I connect via wireless and use dhcp automatic I cannot connect to my smb network shares, if I choose dhcp address only I can connect to the shares, but no longer have internet access
[03:50] <r0llz> When I connect via wireless and use dhcp automatic I cannot connect to my smb network shares, if I choose dhcp address only I can connect to the shares, but no longer have internet access
[03:51] <r0llz> oops
[03:52] <r0llz> im totally stumped
[03:53] <CanAnon__> hmm
[03:56] <r0llz> what other information other than IP comes from dhcp?
[03:56] <CanAnon__> DNS
[03:56] <CanAnon__> what is your resolv.conf look like?
[03:56] <CanAnon__> does*
[03:58] <r0llz> any help with the dir structure for that file?
[03:59] <CanAnon__> well is the resolv.conf blank?
[04:00] <r0llz> you are dealing with a linux noob and I apoligize in advance, what directory would I find that file in
[04:01] <r0llz> I have a search going now
[04:13] <r0llz> the contents of my resolv.conf are
[04:13] <r0llz> # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
[04:13] <r0llz> #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
[04:13] <r0llz> nameserver 127.0.0.1
[04:16] <SpamapS> ugh
[04:16] <SpamapS> I hate that new scheme
[04:17] <SpamapS> r0llz: it gets put into /var/run/nm-dnsmasq.conf
[04:18] <SpamapS> r0llz: also why are you using network manager on a "server" ?
[04:19] <r0llz> I was directed here when I brought up smb from #ubuntu, this is a laptop and I am trying to get stronger with my linux skills.  However connecting to my windows network shares is important
[04:21] <r0llz> the contents of that file are
[04:21] <r0llz> server=192.168.0.2
[04:21] <r0llz> that is the address of my router
[04:25] <r0llz> i would be happy to raise my query in a diff chan if it's more appropriate
[04:29] <SpamapS> r0llz: no this makes sense
[04:29] <r0llz> SpamapS, cool
[04:30] <SpamapS> r0llz: have you tried connecting to your windows shares with the .LOCAL domain?
[04:31] <SpamapS> r0llz: as in,  //servername.local/sharename ?
[04:33] <r0llz> so for me //solfs.local/e: would be the syntax, where would I use that, from a term
[04:34] <SpamapS> hrm n/m actually
[04:34] <SpamapS> if you can't browse to those in your file manager then .local isn't going to make a difference
[04:35] <SpamapS> r0llz: I"m not sure why people referred you here.. we're server wonks.. we don't use these "GUI" things ;)
[04:36] <r0llz> SpamapS, ok...back to google?
[04:37] <SpamapS> r0llz: well I'm not saying that. Its just that this is really a problem with NetworkManager
[04:37] <SpamapS> r0llz: if you type 'ping servername' does it return an IP and ping it?
[04:39] <three18ti> where do I find that groovy login screen that ubuntu installs when you install it by cd?
[04:40] <r0llz> aosmooth@ubuntu:~$ ping solfs
[04:40] <r0llz> PING solfs (69.16.143.24) 56(84) bytes of data.
[04:40] <r0llz> ^C
[04:40] <r0llz> --- solfs ping statistics ---
[04:40] <r0llz> 23 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 22176ms
[04:40] <r0llz> aosmooth@ubuntu:~$ ping //solfs
[04:40] <r0llz> ping: unknown host //solfs
[04:40] <r0llz> the ip it returns doesn't make sense to me
[04:41] <three18ti> http://paste.scsys.co.uk/206135
[04:41] <three18ti> like ^ that
[04:53] <r0llz> when I tried the connection with addresses only again the ping command doesn't resolve an ip address
[04:55] <r0llz> but the browser works to connect to the shares
[06:11] <BuenGenio> please HELP!
[06:11] <BuenGenio> our Dovecot randomly, about once a week, stops being able to authenticate

[07:19] <mafiya> hey, i just started setting up MAAS, i have 7 VirtualBox VMs provisioned (6 clients, 1 server) The server seems to be setup I added all of them to MAAS via the web console, they state "Commissioning" but are still unable to connect properly, and VBOX states fatal: no bootable media found. Does anyone know a fix for this?
[07:20] <bigjools> can the VMs see the DHCP server?
[07:21] <mafiya> yes they were able to see the DHCP server during setup of MAAS (when i added them to the controller)
[07:21] <bigjools> so they auto-enlisted ok?
[07:21] <mafiya> yes
[07:22] <bigjools> cool -ok  so you rebooted them to commission and now they can't get a boot image
[07:22] <bigjools> sounds like they are not pxe booting now
[07:23] <bigjools> I am not familiar with virtualbox unfortunately
[07:26] <m4fiya> well it doesn't seem like there should be a problem, i have them setup to boot from network as default
[07:28] <m4fiya> does anyone know if this is a current problem, or one that can be fixed easily?
[07:31] <SpamapS> mafiya: I believe there is an ephemeral image that has to finish downloading before anything works..
[07:31] <SpamapS> mafiya: note that there is a #maas channel as well :)
[07:32] <m4fiya> I have one client that isn't saying FATAL: No bootable media found, but its been like that for the past 10-15min
[07:34] <m4fiya> SpamapS, there doesn't seem to be anyone there to help at the moment
[07:35] <bigjools> I am there
[08:05] <soren> Daviey: Where is the infamous cloud archive located? The CloudArchive wiki page doesn't say, and all I can find is a staging PPA under ~ubuntu-cloud-archive.
[08:13] <soren> Daviey: iz sekret?
[08:19] <Daviey> soren: no, not secret.. I'm publishing a blog post today.. there was an enforced hiccup due to a datacentre relocation
[08:20] <soren> Daviey: Any chance you could reveal the not secret URL now? :)
[08:21] <Daviey> soren: you are an eager beaver :)
[08:21] <Daviey> one moment
[08:22] <soren> ta very much
[08:59] <koolhead17> hi all
[09:04] <jstephan> hey, i have a little problem and maybe someone can help solving it... i use multiple loadbalanced apache servers, now i would like to store the logs on an central statistic host, my idea was to use logrotate to copy the current file to the nfs share adding some tags like the host, any idea on how to do that?
[11:35] <mld> jstephan: read man logrotate? the postrotate directive might just be what you are looking for.
[11:37] <RoyK> Hi. A week or so back, someone here - _ruben? xnox? - posted a link to a new, fixed mdadm package for bug 942106 - anyone here that has the link to that package?
[11:38] <xnox> RoyK: it's been promoted to precise-updates
[11:39] <xnox> RoyK: it's also in quantal.
[11:39] <xnox> RoyK: simply update. The top most changelog entry will stay as 'precise-proposed' since we copy from proposed to updates without rebuilding.
[11:40] <RoyK> xnox: thanks
[11:41] <jstephan> mld, okay, thx, i will have a look
[12:01] <zul> good morning
[12:30] <zul> jdstrand: hey can you check cinder please?
[12:31] <zul> Daviey: can you do me a favor can you seed openvswitch please/
[12:32] <jdstrand> zul: yes, it is at the top of my list for this morning
[12:33] <Daviey> zul: ok
[12:34] <Daviey> zul: which package?
[12:35] <zul> Daviey: openvswitch
[12:38] <alex88> hi guys, adding an init script to /etc/init/ and setting start on startup is enough?
[14:21] <zul> Daviey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1160879/
[14:27] <stgraber> hallyn: hmm, looks like lxc-start-ephemeral regressed recently... I used to be able to run it fine as non-root, now it's printing a lot of error messages...
[14:34] <jdstrand> hallyn: hi! would you mind taking a look at bug #1040033?
[14:36] <jdstrand> hallyn: the title is somewhat misleading. it seems there are problems when using qcow2s on quantal. it is readily seen when installing oneiric VMs.
[14:36] <jdstrand> (for me)
[15:23] <otkrick> Hello, world !!!
[15:52] <stgraber> hallyn: pushed the lxc-start-ephemeral fixes to the packaging branch
[15:52] <BlackPanx> is debian's squeeze kernel compatible with ubuntu lucid ?
[15:53] <BlackPanx> i'm trying to update my ubuntu's repository with debian's squeeze
[15:53] <BlackPanx> that has latest kernels for vserver
[15:53] <BlackPanx> ubuntu lucid has squeeze/sid in cat /etc/*version
[16:11] <xnox> BlackPanx: no, it isn't.
[16:12] <xnox> BlackPanx: you are better off using one of the kernel-ppa's or backporting a kernel yourself the one you need/want from a next ubuntu release.
[16:12] <xnox> BlackPanx: join #ubuntu-kernel, there were some plans to make newer kernels available on LTS/previous releases.
[16:12] <BlackPanx> xnox okay i'll go with compiling latest kernel myself probably
[16:13] <BlackPanx> since we need kernel with vserver patch
[16:13] <xnox> BlackPanx: there is a special package which makes it easier on debian -> as in it generates nice debs compatible with the rest of the stack
[16:13] <BlackPanx> and latest kernel for that is 2.6.38 which is pretty old.
[16:13] <xnox> BlackPanx: then just do that.
[16:14] <BlackPanx> probably best idea from all the information i got on the other channels also.
[16:15] <xnox> BlackPanx: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[16:15] <xnox> BlackPanx: pick any you like install and off you go =)
[16:16] <BlackPanx> well
[16:16] <BlackPanx> i have lucid
[16:16] <BlackPanx> on all servers mainly
[16:16] <BlackPanx> and there's 2.6 kernel
[16:16] <BlackPanx> only
[16:16] <xnox> BlackPanx: there is 2.6.38 compiled for natty.
[16:16] <xnox> BlackPanx: which should be easy to upgrade to.
[16:16] <BlackPanx> i'll try downloading the oneiric one, copy specs file, apply patch for vserver on that 3.2 one, and compile
[16:17] <xnox> ok.
[16:17] <BlackPanx> 2.6.38 is the kernel i use now and it's totally unstable
[16:17] <BlackPanx> we are getting regular kernel crashes
[16:17] <xnox> oh, ok. I thought you *wanted* 2.6.38 sorry =)
[16:17] <BlackPanx> no no
[16:17] <BlackPanx> i need latest or at least as late as it can be :)
[16:18] <BlackPanx> it shouldn't be a problem if i compile kernel 3.2 and put it on lucid right ? even though it's not rly in repository
[16:18] <BlackPanx> i'd use oneiric's specs since that version has 3.2 kernel
[16:18] <xnox> BlackPanx: don't remove the other kernels, just in case.
[16:18] <xnox> BlackPanx: use precise kernel, it will get 5 years of security updates.
[16:18] <BlackPanx> i compiled 3.0 kernel myself before and it seems pretty stable...
[16:18] <BlackPanx> Linux vs102 3.0.24-vs2.3.2.3-black #3 SMP Tue Mar 20 14:39:47 CET 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux vs102 ~ $ uptime  18:18:49 up 153 days,  3:42,  1 user,  load average: 1.33, 1.40, 1.14
[16:19] <xnox> BlackPanx: which you'll need to copy/recompile or even not, if it has the patches you want.
[16:22] <BlackPanx_> sorry webchat crashed
[16:22] <BlackPanx_> you suggest precise's kernel for my lucid ?
[16:22] <BlackPanx_> to compile that one
[16:24] <SJr> Hmmmm opening a file over an sshfs mount seems to cause weird reading issues.
[16:24] <xnox> BlackPanx_: yes, because it will receive security updates for the next 5 years and is newer than oneiric.
[16:24] <SJr> It's a CSV file and in hex I expect to see 31, 65, 2b, 31. But what I get in Java and seemingly open office is 31 65 3f
[16:25] <SJr> I don't know what the next character is in java
[16:25] <SJr> Java also for some reason thinks it's some weird unicode character
[16:25] <SJr> I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts. IF I open the file on another machine it reads correctly.
[17:50] <adam_g> jamespage: ping?
[17:52] <Daviey> adam_g: hey's on hols
[17:52] <Daviey> he's*
[17:52] <Daviey> adam_g: If i wanted to do some changes to deployer.py, how do you do it without running it against bare metal?
[17:59] <nome> hi... how can i turn off computer with ubuntu server like power off by terminal??? I used: halt, poweroff, shutdown -P, shutdown -h ... and os is turn off but fan on cpu is still working... so howto turn off computer by terminal?? in debian halt is working
[18:01] <adam_g> Daviey: bootstrap somewhere
[18:02] <adam_g> Daviey: like ec2
[18:02] <adam_g> Daviey: it only requires a running juju environment
[18:03] <Daviey> adam_g: yeah, thanks
[18:03] <adam_g> Daviey: it could definitely use some fixes to better handle those failures. i added a retry mechanism in there somewhere, i think only to calls to 'juju status', but i think it needs to be applied to all calls to juju
[18:04] <adam_g> (in case thats what you are thinking of fixing:)
[18:15] <nome> ??
[19:05] <nome> no idea on my questions?
[19:20] <TheLordOfTime> nome:  we might not have seen your questions
[19:21] <TheLordOfTime> i know i dont see your questions on my scrollbacks...
[19:26] <RoyK> !ask | nome
[19:29] <hallyn_> jdstrand: I'm out today, but will take a look (at bug 1040033) tomorrow.
[19:29]  * hallyn_ out
[19:29] <jdstrand> hallyn_: thanks, have a nice day :)
[19:30] <hallyn_> jdstrand: thanks :)  you too

[19:38] <nome> Royk: hi... how can i turn off computer with ubuntu server like power off by terminal??? I used: halt, poweroff, shutdown -P, shutdown -h ... and os is turn off but fan on cpu is still working... so howto turn off computer by terminal?? in debian halt is working
[19:38] <nome> Royk: it was my question
[19:40] <RoyK> poweroff should work
[19:40] <RoyK> if it doesn't, probably some ACPI things are broken
[19:41] <nome> RoyK: maybe ... so how can repair it?
[19:41] <RoyK> file a bug
[20:10] <metap0d> Hi everyone, I just setup an Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 (64bit) and set a static IP on my network of 192.168.5.8, when I try to ping the server by the IP address I always get a reply, however when I try to ping it by its hostname there is like a 10% chance I get a reply.
[20:10] <arrrghhh> metap0d, what are you using for DNS?
[20:16] <metap0d> arrrghhh: I have two entires in my /etc/networking/interfaces for nameservers, they are both virtualised DNS servers on this subnet
[20:16] <arrrghhh> metap0d, and all your clients use the same DNS servers?
[20:17] <arrrghhh> and the 192.168.5.8 server is in that DNS?
[20:41] <jdstrand> zul: commented in 1031359
[20:41] <zul> jdstrand: k thanks
[20:50] <arrrghhh> i guess nickserv is back
[21:47] <Daviey> roaksoax: hey, can i have a merge proposal against lp:~ubuntu-archive/+junk/sync-blacklist for bug 1033660 please?
[21:48] <roaksoax> Daviey: sure, hold on
[21:49] <Daviey> roaksoax: i don't think i need to remove the package, doing a straight sync should be fine.
[21:49] <roaksoax> Daviey: i think we do, i tried to sync it unsuccessfully
[21:51] <Daviey> roaksoax: redhat-cluster-suite should be removed?
[21:51] <roaksoax> Daviey: it is just a meta-package
[21:52] <Daviey> roaksoax: what issue did you get syncing?
[21:53] <roaksoax> let me try again
[21:54] <roaksoax> Daviey: syncpackage: Error: Source package redhat-cluster is blacklisted.
[21:56] <roaksoax> Daviey: i cannot propose it for merging given that it is in +junk
[21:56] <roaksoax> Daviey: but i have linked it to the bug report
[21:56] <Daviey> ah, ffs.  damn +junk... ok, i'll sort it, thanks
[21:57] <roaksoax> Daviey: thank you
[22:00] <Daviey> roaksoax: merged
[22:00] <roaksoax> Daviey: thanks
[22:10] <Daviey> roaksoax: I just did a sync, now the blacklist is cleared
[22:10] <roaksoax> Daviey: cool thanks
[22:11] <roaksoax> i also did syuncpackage :)
[22:12] <Daviey> roaksoax: damn it, you beat me... https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/quantal-changes/2012-August/007512.html
[22:12] <Daviey> :)
[22:12] <roaksoax> hehe :)
