[00:01] <ikonia> zurich: you can't run raid 5 on 2 disks
[00:01] <jiboumans> hey smoser, are you around per chance? It looks like I'm running into this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ec2-ami-tools/+bug/672986, although I have the updated package installed. (lucid, 1.3-45758-0ubuntu1)
[00:01] <ikonia> zurich: you need to replace the failed disk to start the array for a rebuild
[00:02] <jiboumans> smoser, specifically: $ sudo blkid /mnt/tmp/ami-x86_64/image /dev/sda1
[00:02] <jiboumans>  /mnt/tmp/ami-x86_64/image: UUID="b47c47d0-214f-49b1-8e03-140d6f67a43e" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
[00:02] <jiboumans>  /dev/sda1: LABEL="cloudimg-rootfs" UUID="74aad503-152c-47e8-8f1d-cd7254872276" TYPE="ext3"
[00:20] <jiboumans> smoser: it looks like the fix was in the .1 package, which I missed. according to the bug, it should have made it into multiverse, but didn't.. there's a newer backports version available though that i'll try next
[00:22] <jiboumans> it's asciibetically lower though: 1.3.49953-0ubuntu1~lucid1 vs *** 1.3-45758-0ubuntu1
[00:27] <smoser> jiboumans, you're saying the uuid isn't getting copied ? where does your ec2-ami-tools come from?
[00:27] <smoser> (apt-cache policy)
[00:27] <jiboumans> smoser: https://gist.github.com/f750112981dd64bbb78b
[00:29] <smoser> i would think that you should see the -updates version (1.3-45758-0ubuntu1.1 )
[00:29] <smoser> which pro bably has a fix in it.
[00:29] <jiboumans> indeed, the 1.1 has the fix, the 1 doesn't
[00:29] <smoser> but the multi-verse package is higher upstream version but no fix for that.
[00:30] <smoser> my suggestion would be either
[00:30] <jiboumans> smoser: i have lucid/updates in my sources.list, so i'm confused too
[00:30] <smoser>  * ditch -backports
[00:30] <smoser>  * use https://launchpad.net/~awstools-dev/+archive/awstools
[00:31] <jiboumans> smoser: you mean the natty backport doesn't have a fix? i'm confused.
[00:31] <smoser> natty backport?
[00:32] <smoser> the -backports does not have the fix.
[00:32] <smoser> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ec2-ami-tools
[00:32] <smoser> look at the dates on the lucid packages and you'll see.
[00:32] <smoser> if you ditch -backports, purge the thing, get the -updates version, you should get a good version.
[00:35] <jiboumans> smoser: it looks like i don't have lucid-updates/multiverse, and that's the problem of not finding the update
[00:35] <smoser> that *would* be still less than the -backports version
[00:36] <smoser> so you will need to get rid of it from backports
[00:36] <smoser> (sorry for that)
[00:36] <jiboumans> smoser: got it. although note the 1.3. vs 1.3- in the version, which is why i think the 'older' version got selected
[01:21] <quantalrabbit> trying to debuild php5-5.3.10 for precise and failed pretty far along the build process.  getting the following error: "debian/setup-mysql.sh: 44: debian/setup-mysql.sh: USER: parameter not set" then build exits with status 2.  Any help greatly appreciated.
[01:23] <TheLordOfTime> uh...
[01:23] <TheLordOfTime> what's wrong with 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4?
[01:23] <TheLordOfTime> !info php5 precise
[01:23] <TheLordOfTime> quantalrabbit, ^
[01:24] <xnox> quantalrabbit: exact command line parameters & output would be appreciated in a pastebin.
[01:24] <TheLordOfTime> also, what's wrong with the version in precise right now...?
[01:26] <sarnold> (and how did you fix the "binary file contents changed" error?)
[01:26] <quantalrabbit> TheLordOfTime: There's a regression from 5.3.8 whereby output from workers does not get logged to php-fpm.log even when catch_workers_output is set.  https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61045
[01:26] <TheLordOfTime> quantalrabbit, do they have an upstream patch?
[01:27] <TheLordOfTime> quantalrabbit, better question: does a bug for that issue exist in ubuntu?
[01:27] <quantalrabbit> TheLordOfTime: I think it is fixed in the latest version of PHP 5.3.15+
[01:27] <TheLordOfTime> (if so, i'll see if I can't SRU that patch in)
[01:28] <TheLordOfTime> ... wait did i just volunteer to take yet ANOTHER SRU under my wing...
[01:28] <quantalrabbit> TheLordOfTime: sorry, I don't if a but for that issue exists.  i'll try google and see if i can find out.
[01:28] <TheLordOfTime> ... crap...
[01:28] <quantalrabbit> TheLordOfTime: you're a good man.
[01:28] <TheLordOfTime> quantalrabbit, if one doesn't exist, file one and link it here.
[01:28] <TheLordOfTime> quantalrabbit, just another random tiresome job for me to add to the pile
[01:29]  * TheLordOfTime points at the stack of 20 triage-related things he is currently working with behind the scenes.
[01:30] <TheLordOfTime> ... and i'm about fed up with php5 right now, since this patch keeps FTBFS (not the one you're referencing)
[01:33] <quantalrabbit> TheLordOfTime: i probably don't know php5 in any depth close to you but seems like you're the caretaker.  thank you for your work!
[01:33] <TheLordOfTime> under no circumstances call me the caretaker of php5
[01:33] <TheLordOfTime> i'm just a member of the server team, and i'm not the only one who works on php5.
[01:33] <TheLordOfTime> call me caretaker of nginx if you want, nginx's support team LOVES that i know what i'm doing with it...
[01:33] <quantalrabbit> ok, pardon my mistake
[01:34] <TheLordOfTime> i personally hate php5...
[01:34] <TheLordOfTime> but i will SRU it if i must...
[01:34]  * TheLordOfTime glares evilly at the php5 source code.
[01:34] <TheLordOfTime> (this is the daily "glare at php5 for being evil" part of my day)
[01:35] <quantalrabbit> haha.  i hate php5 too.  and the god-awful drupal code i've inherited.
[01:37] <TheLordOfTime> actually that's a good question, is the server team autosubscribed to all  php5 bugs?
[01:40] <quantalrabbit> TheLordOfTime: Looks like someone already reported this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/999969  Should I create another one?
[01:40] <TheLordOfTime> nah, i'll subscribe to this.
[01:41] <quantalrabbit> TheLordOfTime: thanks!
[01:41] <TheLordOfTime> just mark that it affects you and subscribe, i'll work on it probably tomorrow
[01:42] <quantalrabbit> TheLordOfTime: marked affectation.
[01:46] <quantalrabbit> TheLordOfTime: apologize if this a rude question... i'm guessing that a stable release update is a long process.  what are the chances that php5 for precise will be updated in the near future (2 months)?
[01:53] <sarnold> quantalrabbit: with the SRUs I've seen done so far, it seems to depend strongly upon how much testing is done by those affected by the bug...
[01:53] <sarnold> quantalrabbit: if you haven't seen this yet, give it a quick read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
[01:54] <sarnold> quantalrabbit: I've seen some get deleted, and the work thrown away, if no one gets around to testing it within 105 days... and I've seen some go through in ~week.
[01:54] <quantalrabbit> sarnold: thanks for the insight
[07:40] <koolhead17> YAY we are still alive!!
[07:52] <oracle> installed server 12.10 last night and chose ecryptfs for home directory, but now, when i try to ssh into the box with private key, i get access denied (public key) and i must restart sshd before I can login remotely.  Im guessing that it's because my authorized_keys file is not readable by sshd due to ecryptfs?  when i log in to restart ssh im obviously opening the encryption. anyway around this?
[08:07] <SpamapS> oracle: I believe you can have auth keys in the dir underneath the ecryptfs mount
[08:08] <oracle> yes, just read that on ubuntuforums, but it's been working a few times before I restarted the box
[08:08] <oracle> im now baffled as to why it was working at all directly after installation
[08:10] <oracle> after install, I continued configuring it remotely, using priv/pub key and it was all working, then i configured nfs and restarted the box, and no longer get in unless im actually logged in at the console
[14:59] <TheLordOfTime> SpamapS, ping
[14:59] <TheLordOfTime> if you're around :P
[14:59] <Hilarie> Got a question, I am running ubuntu server 12.10, running off of a USB stick, with a 2tb external HDD connected via USB2.0, I about an hour ago, transferred a massive amount of data, around 200gb, at what I am guessing was a bit faster then the HDDs speed because it slowed down after a bit, now the free -m is still showing, around 700mb in the buffer (not cache)
[15:00] <Hilarie> I am worried that if I have a power outage, I will lose, a random part of that data, why would that much be staying in the buffer?
[15:05] <xnox> Hilarie: did you run $ sync
[15:05] <xnox> ?
[15:06] <Hilarie> just type in sync?
[15:10] <xnox> Hilarie: yes. any user/root.
[15:10] <Hilarie> did it, right when I asked, buffer amount didn't change :/
[15:11] <xnox> Hilarie: sure. that's fine, it is ok to keep that stuff in buffers as well as on disk.
[15:11] <xnox> Hilarie: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man1/sync.1.html
[15:11] <xnox> Hilarie: sync guarantees that it is on disk. If you want to recover ram you can do this:

[15:11] <xnox> sync && echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
[15:12] <Hilarie> Oh, I thought if it was buffer, it didn't exist on disk yet, and if was cache it was on disk, but stored in ram
[15:12] <Hilarie> Isn't the kernal alot smarter then I am, and will drop it if needed?
[15:13] <TheLordOfTime> everyone: yeah, ignore uvirtbot` regarding 999969, its whining about what i did.  apparently when i was sruing the fix for 1014044 nobody mentioned 999969, so it missed being marked as "fixed".  just showed upt oday :P

[15:19] <Hilarie> Not a problem
[15:20] <Hilarie> I just read a buffer doesn't exist on disk yet
[15:20] <Hilarie> still freakin me out a bit
[15:20] <xnox> Hilarie: yes, kernel is smart - it does recover ram as of when it needs to.
[15:20] <xnox> Hilarie: well drop caches with command I pasted, it is safe to run.
[15:21] <Hilarie> well then it did zero it out

[16:27] <rsd> Hello
[16:28] <rsd> I am having a trouble making saned listen to the tcp4 port, it listens only on the tcp6 one
[16:28] <rsd> 12.04 (ubuntu)
[16:28] <rsd> then I found out that If listen to a port tcp4 or tcp6, the same port cannot be opened on the other ipvX protocol
[16:28] <rsd> is this right?
[16:29] <rsd> for example:
[16:29] <rsd> netcat -6 -l 656
[16:29] <rsd> and then (another terminal): netcat -4 -l 656
[16:29] <rsd> the second will fail
[16:29] <rsd> even if I change the order
[16:30] <rsd> can someone enlight me :)
[16:32] <TheLordOfTime> SpamapS, erroneous ping, i forgot to say nevermind.
[16:32] <TheLordOfTime> SpamapS, was going to ask you to sponsor a debdiff, but hten i noticed the bug in question was already fixed by an SRU that i had already had approved/processed
[16:32] <TheLordOfTime> :P
[16:32] <SpamapS> ah
[16:39] <TheLordOfTime> SpamapS, remember the SRU for bug 1014044 / bug 1006738 ?  999969 was an earlier bug than 1014044, but it was never caught.  Apparently, the SRU for 1014044 fixed 999969, if it hadn't been the same upstream patch, i'd've asked you to poke a debidff through sponsoring ;)

[21:30] <sw0rdfish> i need a good vps provider with vps' in either .se or .nl
[21:31] <RoyK> why those particular countries?
[21:31] <RoyK> .se spies on you big time, .nl may as well
[21:31] <sw0rdfish> oh damn
[21:31] <sw0rdfish> RoyK... remember me? haha
[21:32] <sw0rdfish> long time no sees man
[21:33] <RoyK> indeed
[21:33] <sw0rdfish> .se vps providers spy on you?
[21:33] <sw0rdfish> I meant any provider but has vps' in .se or .nl
[21:34] <RoyK> according to .se law, all foregn traffic can be spied upon
[21:34] <sw0rdfish> wtf
[21:34] <sw0rdfish> really?
[21:34] <sw0rdfish> holy shit
[21:34] <RoyK> ys
[21:34] <RoyK> yes
[21:35] <sw0rdfish> so i guess i'll have to take .nl

[21:36] <sw0rdfish> else is tere?
[21:36] <sw0rdfish> there*
[21:37] <Amacidia> I'm running 12.10 and I was hoping to take a couple extra 1TB seagates and setup RAID 1 with software. Most of the guides I find talk about fresh installs, but I just want these drives on the side to store data. Can anyone point me to a guide that would assist me in doing this?
[21:38] <Amacidia> Thanks in advance
[21:38] <RoyK> Amacidia: just setup raid-5 or so, it'll be safe enough
[21:39] <Amacidia> RoyK, So just install the drives and reload the os, setup raid 5 during the install?
[21:40] <sarnold> why "reload the os"?
[21:40] <RoyK> Amacidia: use a separate drive for the root, or a mirror, and use the rest for raid-5 or -6
[21:41] <RoyK> it's quite stable

[21:54] <JanC> okay, so you want a VPS in Europe?
[21:55] <sw0rdfish> I might take guntbert_'s recommendation its 4 euros and based in germany
[21:55] <sw0rdfish> yeah
[21:55] <JanC> there are several hosting providers in Germany & France offering cheap VPS...
[22:01] <JanC> e.g. http://www.hetzner.de/  http://www.1und1.de/  http://www.ovh.com/fr/vps/  etc. (and those aren't the cheapest even, I think)
[22:12] <sw0rdfish> nice
[22:12] <sw0rdfish> i know ovh :)
[22:12] <sw0rdfish> omg I might take ovh
[22:13] <sw0rdfish> I didn' think they had cheap vps' they are pretty expensive big server provider
[22:15] <sw0rdfish> dude 14gbp per month isn't cheap... compared to those 4eur or 5usd ones :P
[22:20] <sw0rdfish> hey guys, is an ssh tunnel better than vpn?
[22:20] <sarnold> "better" requires some kind of criteria to judge against :)

[22:30] <HelpMeUbuntu> But I sure can't find it..
[22:30] <HelpMeUbuntu> and neither can Ubuntu 12.04..
[22:30] <guntbert> adam_g: they definitely borked part of the docs
[22:30] <HelpMeUbuntu> maas-cli = command not found
[22:31] <sarnold> can your machines boot 12.04 normally? (perhaps the kernel panic is unrelated to maas?)
[22:31] <sarnold> I know the maas group wanted their docs overhauled recently, I'm not sure how far along that process is yet...
[22:31] <HelpMeUbuntu> Yeah
[22:31] <HelpMeUbuntu> If I load Ubuntu manually that works.
[22:32] <HelpMeUbuntu> Same thing with I try to boot from Media and do a MAAS install and it just shuts off the system
[22:32] <sarnold> no kididng, it's PXE specific?
[22:33] <sarnold> HelpMeUbuntu: you may have better luck in #maas ..
[22:33] <HelpMeUbuntu> Yep
[22:33] <adam_g> HelpMeUbuntu: oh right, i think you might need a newer version of MAAS than what was shipped in 12.04. trying to find a PPA with a backport
[22:33] <HelpMeUbuntu> is it just maas or ubuntu-maas?
[22:34] <sarnold> >30 in #maas, >2 in #ubuntu-maas, I think I know where I'd go first.. :)
[22:34] <adam_g> #maas
[22:37] <adam_g> HelpMeUbuntu: not sure where to get a backport and everyone is probably offline for the holiday already. you might want to consider running 12.10 on the maas provisioning server itself (you can still install 12.04 to the provisioned nodes). MAAS saw some bug changes between 12.04 and 12.10
