[00:24] <torment> i guess ill try installing with a btrfs root and taking a snapshot and rolling back
[01:36] <torment> wow this is not like zfs :)
[01:37] <torment> 'btrfs subvolume get-dafault' lol
[03:11] <shang> hi all, I re-install maas on 12.04, ran all the updates, but now my enlist entry is not there anymore.
[03:11] <shang> If I put it back manually, it tells me that it cannot retrieve the preconfiguration file
[04:59] <roaksoax> torment: there is a fix on the queue waiting to be released
[05:01] <torment> i re-installed today, and maas-dhcp failed
[05:01] <torment> couldnt boot nodes
[05:03] <roaksoax> precise, queantal?
[05:03] <torment> maas server is quantal
[05:04] <torment> i figued out btrfs in a vm tonight, so ill try to install a base 12.10 tomorrow snap it and install maas let it burn and snap back
[05:05] <roaksoax> torment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1067929
[05:05] <torment> yes i ran into that today
[05:06] <torment> i did the workaround - i didnt get the error above - but i didnt get a working dhcp
[05:06] <roaksoax> yeah there's a couple fixes to DHCP also in the queue
[05:06] <torment> i have 13 nodes on 2 blade servers to play with
[05:06] <torment> using impi
[05:06] <torment> the ipmi seems to work well so far
[05:07] <roaksoax> Daviey: up already?
[05:07] <roaksoax> torment: awesome!
[05:07] <torment> whos the ipimi guy?
[05:07] <torment> if i give maas the root account it renames them to maas
[05:08] <torment> does it make a new acct?
[05:08] <roaksoax> torment: I am
[05:08] <roaksoax> torment: and yes it makes a new account
[05:08] <roaksoax> torment: we have ipmi autodetection/configuration
[05:09] <torment> so if the ipmi has an maas user acct does it recreate it if i give it root in the maas webui?
[05:09] <torment> i've reconfigured these blades quite a few # of times
[05:10] <roaksoax> torment: so maas creates a temporary account during enlistment, once you accept&commission, it will create the account it will use later on for deployments during the commissioning process
[05:11] <torment> ive only ever added them by hand
[05:11] <roaksoax> torment: so if the machjines have been enlisted, and commissioned, you can change the IPMI account you want to use for each machine, and won't be changed by maas
[05:11] <torment> is it able to delete the old maas user with 'whatever password' and make a new one
[05:11] <torment> thats what im asking
[05:12] <roaksoax> torment: everytime the machine is enlistment/commiussioned it creates a new password
[05:12] <torment> right, but i've had to reinstall my maas server like 3 times today
[05:12] <roaksoax> torment: so if you remove the machine from the maas clusgter, then the user will ramin
[05:12] <roaksoax> remain
[05:12] <torment> so if it loses that password...
[05:12] <roaksoax> torment: maas creates the password again
[05:12] <roaksoax> for the machines
[05:13] <torment> so it uses root permissions in ipmi to set passwords to a new password for the maas user
[05:13] <roaksoax> torment: again, during the commissioning is where the maas user for IPMI is created, and granted a pssword. If you remove and reinstall MAAS server, that means that you need to enlist/commission the machine again, that means that a password for IPMI maas user is recreated
[05:14] <roaksoax> torment: yes, we access the bmc
[05:14] <torment> ok
[05:14] <torment> im just trying to get to the juju point
[05:15] <roaksoax> torment: right, so simply enough, you should be able to 1. install maas. 2. enlist/commission machines 3. configure juju environment. 4. deploy
[05:15] <torment> i've installed ubuntu 12.10 MAAS 3 times yesterday
[05:15] <roaksoax> torment: if ipmi is detected correctly, it will be configured accordingly, and you should not have to do anything
[05:15] <torment> i've ventured into #btrfs to allow me to snapshot a base server OS
[05:16] <torment> then apt-get install maas after snap
[05:16] <roaksoax> right, TBH i haven't really test the DHCP stuff
[05:16] <roaksoax> cause i use external DNS/DHCP
[05:16] <torment> right
[05:16] <torment> there are a lot of changes i have to make
[05:16] <torment> internal
[05:18] <torment> what are you doing to reset?
[05:18] <roaksoax> torment: how are you confuring dhcp though?
[05:18] <roaksoax> configuring*
[05:18] <torment> are you reinstalling the whole OS? or is there a special treat apt-get remove line
[05:18] <torment> my first install went ok
[05:18] <torment> i did the maas install from DC
[05:18] <torment> CD
[05:19] <torment> it didnt install maas-dhcp
[05:19] <torment> i installed that through aptitude
[05:19] <roaksoax> torment: sudo apt-get remove --purge maas && sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
[05:19] <roaksoax> torment: and then sudo apt-get install maas
[05:19] <torment> dpkg-reconfigure maas-region-controller
[05:19] <roaksoax> torment: so you need to install maas-dhcp, and use https://maas.ubuntu.com/docs/maascli.html#cli-dhcp
[05:19] <torment> yes i did
[05:20] <torment> i had all 13 nodes in ready today
[05:20] <torment> but juju would not bootstrap -- but i had the '5 minutes to recheck maas images' thing
[05:20] <roaksoax> torment: right, so that's only matter of fixing the upstart job
[05:20] <torment> tell me more :)
[05:22] <torment> it seems the error in the web page is something in the DB that juju doesnt like
[05:22] <roaksoax> i'm hoping to have that fix released today
[05:22] <roaksoax> torment: can you show the output?
[05:22] <torment> im not at work now
[05:23] <roaksoax> torment: ah! so yeah, when you can just pastebinit and show it and I'll be able to tell you more of what might be going wrong
[05:23] <torment> and ill have to reinstall the nasty that i've done to the maas server at this point
[05:23] <torment> ok
[05:24] <torment> sudo apt-get remove --purge maas && sudo
[05:24] <torment>                   | apt-get autoremove --purge
[05:25] <torment> i've tried pretty much to this today
[05:25] <torment> it doesnt go well for me
[05:25] <torment> does it really work for you?
[05:25] <torment> can i apt-get install maas after a base server install?
[05:26] <roaksoax> torment: yes you can
[05:26] <torment> this is why im going to try using btrfs on my root
[05:27] <torment> this blades have horrible console access
[05:27] <torment> do you know if ubuntu has vnc install access like fedora
[05:28] <torment> i did the aptitude purge on maas -- and rabbitmq wants to die
[05:28] <torment> it's neat that they want to chang passwd often
[05:29] <torment> but it screws up uninstallation
[05:30] <roaksoax> how so?
[05:30] <roaksoax> can you pastebin?
[05:33] <torment> not at work, and will be installing fresh again when i get in
[05:33] <torment> but if i get one, ill letchu know
[05:34] <roaksoax> torment: i just installed maas, then sudo apt-get remove --purge maas && sudo apt-get autoremove --purge (selected to purge database), and reinstalled maas again, and everything seems just fine
[05:36] <torment> when does it change passwords from maas
[05:36] <roaksoax> torment: for the IPMI? that's during commissioning
[05:39] <torment> when i try to remove maas - it removes rabbit mq - it tries to connect and it says wrong passwd
[05:39] <roaksoax> torment: forget about that, it should not really affect on reinstallation
[05:39] <roaksoax> but i wonder what could have gone wrong there
[05:40] <roaksoax> torment: oh, for the juju stuff, did you add your SSH key to maas?
[05:40] <torment> it hangs when i remove
[05:40] <torment> because its trying to connect to the DB
[05:40] <torment> to remove the DB
[05:40] <torment> i havent gotten juju working yet
[05:40] <torment> this is pure maas
[05:42] <torment> this is pure bs until i get you pastebins or whatever
[05:42] <roaksoax> ok
[05:42] <roaksoax> yeah withouthem wont be able to tell for sure
[05:42] <torment> i'll be happy to work with yo tomorrw -- what are your hours
[05:42] <torment> timezone or whatever
[05:44] <torment> right
[05:45] <roaksoax> right now it is 7.45 am
[05:45] <roaksoax> for me
[05:46] <torment> ok, i can figure that out
[05:47] <roaksoax> alright
[05:47] <torment> id like to make this work
[05:47] <roaksoax> anywyas, im off to breakfast
[05:47] <roaksoax> torment: it should be pretty straight forward
[05:47] <torment> eat it up!
[05:47] <torment> :)
[05:47] <torment> i have a hard netowrk
[05:48] <torment> im interested to see what yall do for all my crazy net interfaces
[05:48] <torment> internal proxies
[05:48] <torment> i have a lot of fun hacking up the ephemerials
[05:49] <torment> ubuntu and their hate for internal ntp servers
[05:50] <torment> squid-deb-proxy -- needs a cache-peer etc
[06:51] <roaksoax> bigjools:
[06:51] <roaksoax> err
[06:51] <roaksoax> allenap: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1299424/
[06:55]  * allenap looks
[06:57] <roaksoax> allenap: this is the log: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1299433/
[07:08] <allenap> roaksoax: I think it means that the node group ("master") has not been found. Try bin/maas-cli maas node-groups, and use the uuid field.
[07:26] <allenap> roaksoax: Ah, okay. File a bug! :)
[07:27] <roaksoax> allenap: yeah but there seems to nbe aproble
[07:27] <allenap> I don't know what nbe aproble means.
[07:27] <roaksoax> allenap: trying to write what I' seeing
[07:28] <roaksoax> allenap: basically, the master seems to be created without any parameters, so I have to update it using the uuid
[07:29] <roaksoax> allenap: i'll further investigate later but that's what I'm seeing
[07:29] <roaksoax> right now
[07:30] <allenap> roaksoax: I don't fully understand the problem. Is this a regression?
[07:31] <roaksoax> allenap: maybe so, I was simply trying to follow the guide to setup DHCP and it doesn't seem to work that way. I'll futher investigate later
[07:31] <roaksoax> allenap: and let you know
[07:31] <allenap> roaksoax: Cool, okay. Is that the guide that Nick wrote?
[07:31] <roaksoax> allenap: yep
[08:01] <roaksoax> allenap: any thoughts? Oct 23 03:58:49 maas named[933]: error (network unreachable) resolving 'google.com/A/IN': 2001:500:1::803f:235#
[08:15] <allenap> roaksoax: No. Does this relate to a problem you're trying to debug, or did you just spot it in the logs? If the latter, it might be okay to ignore it for now.
[08:16] <roaksoax> allenap: the latter, and might be the DNS setup here might not
[08:16] <roaksoax> allenap: but because of this I cannot even enlist servers :(
[08:17] <bigjools> roaksoax: we at the tables near the cafe if you want to come over
[08:21] <roaksoax>  bigjools will be there in a bit, trying to debug this
[08:23] <bigjools> roaksoax: well we might be able to help :)
[08:25] <roaksoax> bigjools: i
[08:25] <roaksoax> bigjools: i think might be an issue with the network here
[08:27] <bigjools> roaksoax: forgive me for laughing then :)
[08:29] <Daviey> roaksoax: hey
[08:29] <Daviey> roaksoax: Can you add test cases for the SRU's please?
[08:29] <roaksoax> Daviey: ok
[08:34] <roaksoax> Daviey: please, copy the package to raring
[08:35] <Daviey> i did

[10:06] <roaksoax> bigjools: ^^
[10:07] <bigjools> roaksoax: what are you doing?
[10:07] <roaksoax> bigjools: simply upgraded
[10:08] <roaksoax> bigjools: to the new upstream you prepared
[10:08] <roaksoax> for quantal
[10:09] <bigjools> roaksoax: when is it showing that?
[10:10] <bigjools> exactly
[10:10] <roaksoax> bigjools: maas is not running
[10:10] <roaksoax> bigjools: at al
[10:10] <roaksoax> bigjools: i just upgraded and stopped working and that error was shown
[10:10] <roaksoax> the only different that I did was configure DHCP
[10:11] <bigjools> roaksoax: which log?
[10:11] <roaksoax> bigjools: maas.log
[10:11] <roaksoax> bigjools: so I had maas installed from the archives, configured DHCP, then upgraded from -proposed, and that happened
[10:11] <bigjools> roaksoax: let me try the upgrade too, hang on
[10:24] <bigjools> roaksoax: can't recreate here
[10:25] <bigjools> roaksoax: did you poke anything in the DB etc?
[10:25] <roaksoax> bigjools: nope, I'm trying to recreate, but not that I had DHCP configured
[10:25] <roaksoax> s/not/note
[10:27] <roaksoax> an upgrade from a maas without DHCP configure to the -proposed packages works fine
[10:31] <bigjools> roaksoax: I think I need to see your session, I cannot see any problems here
[10:59] <roaksoax> y
