[00:10] <delinquentme> hey all ... what tool do I use to write into a file?  .. just a plain text file
[00:11] <LifeIsGood169> nano
[00:11] <LifeIsGood169> vi
[00:11] <delinquentme> LifeIsGood169, I mean to run a command to write it .. and not open it to examine it
[00:11] <LifeIsGood169> example:    sudo nano (file name here)
[00:11] <LifeIsGood169> oh
[00:11] <sarnold> echo? sed? awk? perl?
[00:11] <LifeIsGood169> lol I know nothing
[00:11] <sarnold> depends how you want to modify the file, really.
[00:12] <delinquentme> I want to add a source to  /etc/apt/sources.list  with a single command
[00:13] <sarnold> you should probably be using /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ _instead_, but you could do that with echo "deb http://blah/ blort foobar" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:13] <delinquentme> echo "something" > file
[00:13] <sarnold> delinquentme: > overwrites. >> appends.
[00:13] <delinquentme> sarnold, nice!
[00:13] <sarnold> delinquentme: but _please_ do look at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, it's there to help make these things easier. :)
[00:14] <sarnold> .. echo "foo" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deliquent.list    :)
[00:15] <delinquentme> sarnold, and those will be available just the same?
[00:15] <LifeIsGood169> Where can I go for lvm support? the channel #lvm is unresponsive.
[00:16] <delinquentme> and sarnold do I want a .list or a .list.save?
[00:16] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: here is ok, but the linux-lvm is the holy grail.
[00:16] <sarnold> LifeIsGood169: just try asking? it might work.. :)
[00:16] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: what's up?
[00:16] <sarnold> delinquentme: .list. apt will only use files that end with .list.
[00:16] <sarnold> delinquentme: (that's .list -- ignore my periods that end the sentences...)
[00:17] <delinquentme> echo "deb http://http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu lucid/" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/R-lang.list
[00:17] <delinquentme> its a new file so dont need to append and I think i look good
[00:18] <sarnold> delinquentme: you've got two "http://" in there -- otherwise looks good.
[00:18] <delinquentme> its telling me permissions denied even with sudo??
[00:18] <delinquentme> sudo echo "deb http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu lucid/" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/R-lang.list
[00:18] <LifeIsGood169> @xnox test
[00:19] <LifeIsGood169> how do you reply?
[00:19] <sarnold> delinquentme: that runs the 'echo' as root, but not the > file redirect. hehe.
[00:19] <sarnold> LifeIsGood169: type the name, type :, keep typing :)
[00:19] <sarnold> LifeIsGood169: some clients let you type the first few characters and then hit 'tab', but not all.
[00:19] <LifeIsGood169> xnox: hello?
[00:19] <delinquentme> so a sudo after >
[00:19] <LifeIsGood169> It doesn't seem to go bold?
[00:20]  * xnox is confused..... LifeIsGood169 just type your question and all of us can ponder about it.
[00:20] <delinquentme> > sudo /etc/apt/sources.list.d/R-lang.list     sarnold
[00:20] <LifeIsGood169> ok
[00:20] <LifeIsGood169> I'd like to setup a single volume group across multiple pv's. My first hd: sda{1,2,5} = linux, extended, linux lvm. My second hd: sdb{1,2,5} = linux, extended, linux swap. How do I set aside the system files & swap space on 1 hdd? & partition everything else as a volume group? I need help understanding the current default partitions. I have no idea why my second hard drive: sdb{1,2,5} = linux, extended, linux swap.
[00:20] <LifeIsGood169> I have a picture of 'fdisk -l' if it helps: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc217/lalabby/hdds.png
[00:20] <sarnold> delinquentme: I'd just start a new root shell as "sudo -s", then run the 'echo foo > bar' command as you did before -- then control+D to exit the root shell
[00:20] <shanemeyers> you can't use the sudo after the > in the redirect, you can do the following though:
[00:20] <shanemeyers> echo "deb http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu lucid/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/R-lang.list
[00:20] <sarnold> LifeIsGood169: presumably xnox sees it bold if he has bothered to configure -- or not unconfigure -- his highlighting. :)
[00:20] <sarnold> shanemeyers: oh, neat.
[00:21] <LifeIsGood169> sarnold: ah
[00:21] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: eh.... you actually have only two partitions.
[00:21] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: the 1st one has the / and most of the install.
[00:21] <LifeIsGood169> xnox: ah in the picture?
[00:21] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: the 2nd one indicates end of "primary" partitions and start of "logical" partitions.
[00:22] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: the 5th one is actually just your _other_ partition with swap on it.
[00:22] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: see "Disks" app to help visualise this.
[00:22] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: and read about partition tables on wikipedia.
[00:23] <xnox> note that formating & creating pv's will delete all your data on that space.
[00:23] <LifeIsGood169> xnox: so is sdb important? or can I erase it? Only sda1 matters?
[00:23] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: huh. wait. sdb means it's a second HDD, sda is the first HDD.
[00:23] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: I don't know what data you have on them.
[00:24] <LifeIsGood169> xeon: idk either. Can you look at this picture of 'fdisk' ? http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc217/lalabby/hdds.png
[00:24] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: but what _you_ think is first/second HDD, is not necessarely what your computer (which order) they are in.
[00:25] <LifeIsGood169> xnox: that is ok... everything should be 'erased' except the current ubuntu opperating system
[00:25] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: can you show output of $ sudo mount?
[00:26] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: also to paste text from console it's easier to pipe the output to `pastebinit`
[00:26] <LifeIsGood169> xnox: no important information was present when I first installed.... I'm just trying to figure out if Ubuntu's default space usage - grabbed some of the second HDD for swap
[00:26] <LifeIsGood169> ok
[00:26] <xnox> also $ sudo lvs and $ sudo pvs
[00:27] <xnox> and $ sudo vgs
[00:27] <xnox> will help you.
[00:27] <xnox> but first disk has a primary partition (probably boot partition) a logical partition with lvm pvs.
[00:28] <LifeIsGood169> xnox: http://paste.kde.org/606200/
[00:28] <xnox> second disk has a primary partition (probably with a linux installation) and a logical partition for swap.
[00:28] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: what I said above is right.
[00:28] <LifeIsGood169> xnox: ahhhh... that might be an old ubuntu 9.04 install.... now I understand... I didn't get it
[00:28] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: note that currently you are booted of /dev/sda, which is in LVM.
[00:29] <LifeIsGood169> xnox: so it is useless just an old hdd with some data I missed... thought they were all blank
[00:29] <xnox> LifeIsGood169: mount the /dev/sdb1 and see what's that. $ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
[00:29] <xnox> I think my job is done here ;-) read lvm2 howto from tldp
[00:29]  * xnox off to sleep
[00:30] <LifeIsGood169> xnox: thank you so much
[01:11] <smoser> erichammond, fyi, http://cloud.ubuntu.com/ami works now
[01:11] <uvirtbot`> New bug: #1078530 in qemu-kvm (main) "upstart job fails to start under lxc" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1078530
[01:11] <smoser> and its under code that ben and I can change.
[01:11] <smoser> (where as before, as you probanbly noticed, i basically said "yeah, that sucks")
[01:33] <erichammond> smoser: yay
[01:37] <erichammond> smoser: How are these rows sorted?  http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/  It looks alphabetical by region except for ap-southeast-2
[01:39] <erichammond> smoser: This is still missing ap-southeast-2: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/precise/current/
[02:01] <cr3> is there something that enables me to easily provision different virtual environments (lxc, kvm, virtualbox, etc.) using a common interface?
[02:11] <sarnold> cr3: have you seen juju yet?
[02:12] <sarnold> cr3: https://juju.ubuntu.com/
[02:12] <sarnold> cr3: it provides a nice layer over aws or openstack or lxc or maas and makes deploying services on them straightforward
[02:13] <sarnold> I don't know if they have a kvm+qemu provider interface yet, but it feels like one would make sense
[02:24] <cr3> sarnold: I'll have another look at it and consider what it might take to have a kvm+qemu provider interface if it doesn't have one yet, thanks!
[08:30] <_BuBU> Hi
[08:31] <_BuBU> probably better place to post my problem :)
[08:31] <_BuBU> I've an issue with openssh after upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04
[08:31] <_BuBU> 2012 Nov 14 09:27:03 srv01 fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer [preauth]
[09:09] <balboah> can I mark the root filesystem dirty manually somehow? I want to force a fsck upon boot since I don't have a boot CD and need to fsck the root mount
[09:15] <balboah> found it, tune2fs -C 38
[09:15] <balboah> but that was a cheating fsck with journaling
[09:16] <maxb> Another option is 'touch /forcefsck' IIRC
[10:10] <nopz> Hi there. i'm running ubuntu server 10.04 and I want to know the io usage by process per day, i know I can use Iotop for that but is there any tool that can sort after a day of monitoring the top io usage process?
[10:11] <nopz> Actually I use iostat -oaP
[10:34] <RoyK> nopz: I don't know any such tool - google led me to http://www.xaprb.com/blog/2009/08/23/how-to-find-per-process-io-statistics-on-linux/
[10:42] <nopz> RoyK, thank you, will see

[11:52] <obelus> Hi, my pptpd service is saying "GRE: Bad checksum from pppd." when I try to connect, this isn't a router issue, as I've tried local it from within the same network too.
[11:52] <obelus> Anyone able to help?
[12:22] <jamespage> hallyn, zul: you guys OK with me uploading a new ipxe snapshot? I'd like to drop our cherry picks
[12:23] <zul> jamespage: i dont have a problem with it
[12:23] <jamespage> zul: OK - I'll give it a poke locally first and then upload to raring
[12:40] <obelus> ;['BG
[12:40] <bananapie> I want to buy stickers, stuffed tuxes and other linux clothing. Other than shop.canonical.com, is there a website where I can buy this and the profits go to ubuntu ?
[12:41] <obelus> Sorry guys. My cat jumped on the keyboard.
[13:27] <obelus> [;p\o0p9
[13:40] <hallyn> jamespage: this is snapshot from upstream right?
[13:40] <hallyn> jamespage: actually, i'm gonna be slicing and dicing that quite a bit in raring (per ppa:serge-hallyn/crossc) to match the new qemu layout
[13:40] <hallyn> but for now it's ok of course
[13:42] <hallyn> jamespage: is your upload going to also by chance fix bug 1025239 ?
[13:45] <jamespage> hallyn, yep
[13:46] <jamespage> upstream snapshot and will close that bug
[13:54] <hallyn> jamespage: \o/
[14:06] <cloudman> anyone had problems with mcrypt causing wsod?
[14:09] <zul> wsod?
[14:09] <cloudman> white screen of death
[14:09] <cloudman> restoring my sites, all seems fine but just get wsod
[14:09] <cloudman> bloody annoying
[14:10] <cloudman> sure mcrypt is responsible
[14:10] <cloudman> getting an error message is already loaded
[14:11] <cloudman> tried commenting out a few but no joy, its all over system
[14:19] <dforthman> Howdy. I'm trying to find an opensource monitoring solution for my small business. Is GroundWork the best solution? Or does anyone know of another one that will do a better job? We are running mainly linux (15) and Mac OS X (6) servers, with 4 Windows servers as well.
[14:28] <hallyn> jdstrand: do you have any objection to libvirt/apparmor always adding rw to "/var/lib/libvirt/**/*.vnc ? (per bug 1069534 )
[14:30] <jdstrand> hallyn: what are the contents of that file? all guests would be able to read each other's .vnc files if we allow that (typically we would add something to virt-aa-helper)
[14:32] <hallyn> jdstrand: my guess is it contains the vnc password
[14:33] <jdstrand> consider me objecting :)
[14:33] <hallyn> jdstrand: so it should be done in virt-aa-helper with the precise filename?
[14:33] <jdstrand> best thing would be a domain specific rule added via virt-aa-helper
[14:33] <jdstrand> yeah
[14:33] <hallyn> ok, thanks.  i'll put a comment there.
[15:00] <zul> jamespage:  something funky is happening https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/precise_grizzly_keystone_trunk/21/console
[15:46] <jamespage> zul, odd
[15:46] <jamespage> may have been on a restart
[15:46] <jamespage> its has alot of jobs now
[15:56] <jamespage> hallyn, zul: just uploaded ipxe fyi - looked to work OK (and I could see HTTPS support being advertised on boot in KVM)
[15:57] <hallyn> jamespage: cool, thx
[15:57] <hallyn> btw at some point i'm going to have to send out a call for testing on the new qemu packageset, give it a week, and then push it all into raring
[15:57] <hallyn> maybe i'll do that next week.  best not to wait too long
[16:00] <jamespage> hallyn, good idea
[16:17] <wmp> hello
[16:17] <wmp> ii have problem, i havent new logs in /var/log/auth.log
[16:18] <wmp> this can by cause chmod 700 -R /var/log ?
[16:43] <ScottK> Yes.
[16:45] <wmp> ScottK: i give 660 for test and without changes
[16:46] <wmp> nginx and lastlog is update, but auth, kern.log or dmesg not

[19:12] <X-Sleepy-X> hi
[19:12] <X-Sleepy-X> when connected to an ubuntu 12.04 server and type mysql shouldnt it be asking for a password?
[19:13] <hallyn> stgraber: allrighty i've got a userns kernel that builds (only with one config option set :) - will take a break then see how badly it breaks boot
[19:13] <hallyn> uh, not userns,
[19:13] <hallyn> syslogns
[19:14] <X-Sleepy-X> i mean when i type mysql -p it wont log me in
[19:14] <X-Sleepy-X> but when i just type mysql it works
[19:14] <X-Sleepy-X> without a password
[19:14] <X-Sleepy-X> !!
[19:15] <X-Sleepy-X> doesn't seem too safe
[19:15] <SpamapS> zul: sure, its probably just backed up in the queue. But, lucky you, I"m starting a run through said queue in about 30 minutes.
[19:15] <SpamapS> roaksoax: I'll push it to the top of my queue.
[19:15] <zul> sweet...yay lucky me!
[19:15] <SpamapS> X-Sleepy-X: you can connect, but can you do anything?
[19:15] <SpamapS> X-Sleepy-X: type 'show grants'
[19:15] <roaksoax> SpamapS: awesome, thanks!
[19:15] <SpamapS> X-Sleepy-X: I believe by default, you will just have 'usage'
[19:15] <stgraber> hallyn: nice!
[19:15] <SpamapS> X-Sleepy-X: which means you can just connect
[19:16] <X-Sleepy-X> Grants for @localhost     GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO ''@'localhost'
[19:16] <X-Sleepy-X> thats what i get
[19:18] <X-Sleepy-X> SpamapS: you were right
[19:18] <X-Sleepy-X> thx
[19:18] <X-Sleepy-X> :)
[19:35] <Delemas> I'm using apt-cacher with Ubuntu 12.10. It keeps downloading the same package to 99% and restarting i.e. openjdk-6-jre-headless amd64 6b24-1.11.5-0ubuntu1~12.10.1. Any ideas why? Are others seeing this?
[20:19] <Lavvy> Please latest ubuntu ships with openstack, dont understand what it mean?
[20:20] <lifeless> I don't understand your question.
[20:22] <Lavvy> Lifeless,  How do i access horizon after installing ubuntu server iso
[20:22] <lifeless> Lavvy: you need to install python-django-horizon
[20:25] <Lavvy> Lifeless; that is what confuses me, dont really understand what shipping with openstack means.
[20:25] <lifeless> it means openstack is available in the Ubuntu archive
[20:27] <Lavvy> So i have to still install it on my server, with command line?
[20:28] <sarnold> or configure your bootstrapping to install it for you.
[20:28] <sarnold> or see if the maas project's got some easy way to avoid having to type much.
[20:34] <odiv> 'lo
[20:34] <Lavvy> This one is quite tasking unlike the live usb demo we tested, it has good gui and horizon is on http://127.0.0.1, very nice for we windows users. Are they now different ?

[21:59] <zul> SpamapS: sorry about that
[22:00] <SpamapS> zul: where's the centralized tracking bug?
[22:00] <SpamapS> zul: this is way too big to evaluate as a series of patches
[22:00] <zul> SpamapS:  for nova?
[22:01] <SpamapS> zul: yes
[22:01] <zul> SpamapS: there should be one adam_g did the upload
[22:02] <SpamapS> adam_g: ^^
[22:03] <zul> he aint here
