adam_gzul: jamespage Daviey just sent 4/5 merge proposals to folsom branches of lp:~ubuntu-cloud-archive. the cinder branch @ lp:~ubuntu-cloud-archive/ubuntu/precise/cinder/folsom doesn't seem to want to play. if you could approve, ill upload to staging and get precise-folsom/proposed in-sync with quantal-proposed. need to figure out whats up with the cinder branch ,or do it manually00:36
zuladam_g:  merge propsal url?00:39
paco1sarnold: thanks for the link00:53
sarnoldpaco1: was it useful?00:54
sarnoldpaco1: or was something else more useful in the end? :)00:54
paco1i changed the value for 300s (5mn), but for the moment i dont see any change in my slave dns server00:55
sarnoldyou'll have to wait at least until it's timed out its old data, right?00:55
paco1the timed out before i changed the value?00:57
paco1the value that i'have had was 604800 (7days), and i changed it for 300s(5mn)00:58
sarnoldpaco1: soooo, in seven days, it ought to start slaving every five minutes.01:05
sarnoldpaco1: maybe teardown and re-create the slave in the meantime? :)01:05
sarnoldpaco1: (that _might_ be as easy as restarting the slave; I don't know that level of detail.)01:05
adam_gzul: are you unable to branch from lp:~ubuntu-cloud-archive/ubuntu/precise/cinder/folsom too?01:06
zullemme check01:06
zuladam_g: interesting....nope01:07
adam_glame01:09
paco1sarnold: but i read that the "dig @server axfr" command from the master server, able to start the transfer immediatly...like it doesnt do....01:11
sarnoldpaco1: do the acls allow it?01:12
paco1sarnold: yes01:12
sarnoldpaco1: is there anything interesting in the logs?01:12
paco1in the master server log it says: "zone entreprise.com/IN/bd: loaded serial 2013010701" | zone entrprise.com/IN/bd: sending notifies (serial 2013010701)01:16
sarnoldcool, can the slave receive the notify?01:16
paco1immediatly despues el rndc reload del master....no01:18
paco1i you want, i can do named-checkconf -p of my 2 servers01:20
paco1http://pastebin.com/zFyq9KG6 > master | http://pastebin.com/xqPzGtTh > slave | http://pastebin.com/RUsV7gDP > dig exemple.com | http://pastebin.com/3JpyL2VF > dig -x reverse01:25
paco1sarnold: if you can see my config, to see if there is a problem, thanks!01:27
sarnoldpaco1: sorry, I don't see anything that stands out.01:31
paco1sarnold: my config countered well....01:33
syncsyshow can I change the port to 80 from 8080 in tomcat.? I have read many google results but I never find the .xml files in the said directories in ubuntu (latest version)01:35
sarnoldsyncsys: dpkg -L tomcat7 | grep xml  ought to narrow down the options01:37
syncsysthanks. works. but i wonder why $ sudo locate server.xml01:38
syncsyslocate: can not stat () `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db': No such file or directory01:38
sarnoldyour locate database never gets rebuilt, the cronjob (/etc/cron.daily/mlocate) appears to run only if you're on wall power if the powermgmt-base package is installed..01:40
sarnoldsyncsys: sudo sh /etc/cron.daily/mlocate  ought to rebuild the database01:41
syncsysthanks again.!    it was in /etc/tomcat7/server.xml       i changed port to 80. services tomcat7 restart        still opening on 8080 and not 8001:43
syncsyssarnold, <Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1"01:44
sarnoldsyncsys: hah, looks like tomcat7 doesn't report much in the way of errors if sometihng else has port 80 bound already. does netstat -anp | grep :80 show something else listening on 80?01:46
sarnoldsyncsys: check /var/log/tomcat7/catalina* log files, I found this: java.net.BindException: Permission denied <null>:8001:47
syncsysit should not as it is a fresh vps install. let me check01:47
sarnoldlooks like tomcat7 drops privs before binding to port 80, perhaps that's a mistake in the config?01:47
syncsyssarnold,  netstat -anp | grep :80 shows nothing01:48
sarnold.. or perhaps the intention is to always use a proxy if you want it on 80?01:48
paco1sarnold: I leave, I shall see the continuation tomorrow, thanks for your help01:50
syncsysyes......Caused by: java.net.BindException: Permission denied <null>:8001:50
syncsys        at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint.bind(JIoEndpoint.java:391)01:50
syncsyswhy is that?01:50
sarnoldpaco1: good luck :) if you've got time, I'd be curious to hear the solution...01:51
sarnoldsyncsys: binding low ports (<1024) requires root privileges (capability CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE)01:51
paco1sarnold: ok, no problem ;)01:52
syncsyssarnold,  I was aware but I nano the server.xml file by sudo and restarted tomcat by sudo also... I didnt grasped the privileg thing01:52
syncsyssarnold,  tutorials say i need to AUTHBIND=yes01:53
sarnoldsyncsys: yay, that's it!01:55
syncsyssarnold,  i think on tomcat instal A new user "tomcat7" with primary group "tomcat7" will be created.01:55
syncsysand everything is done by that user. which is not root01:55
sarnoldsyncsys: edit /etc/default/tomcat7 -- you'll find AUTHBIND at the bottom. uncomment it, change it to "yes", and restart tomcat.01:55
syncsysso no port allow. which is contrary to apache201:55
syncsystheres no default in /etc01:56
decciI am facing an issue installing Ubuntu 12.04 on compellent SAN. I did it for CentOS 6.3 and it went fine. here is the complete picture: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1508279/01:57
decciWhen I try to install ubuntu 12.04. The installation cannot see the SAN storage device as shown http://tracker.webtechnologyfocused.com.au/ehw/volumesnotdetected.jpg01:57
syncsyssarnold,  do i need to install authbind first?01:57
decciI have attached lscsci output too..any idea what could be the fix?01:57
sarnoldsyncsys: probably; authbind was just installed for me when I ran "apt-get install tomcat7"01:58
syncsyshm. so i need to do that manually01:58
syncsyssarnold,  no it coundnt be. if you are using ubuntu01:58
syncsysi did the same. apt install tomcat701:58
sarnoldsyncsys: http://pastebin.com/dSDst7n101:59
syncsyssarnold,  oh. i already have authbind. but no /etc/default folder01:59
sarnoldsyncsys: and that's very odd...02:00
sarnoldroughly 38 packages on my system "own" /etc/default (dpkg -S /etc/default) -- not sure how yours went missing02:01
syncsysstrange. now i see default folder. i just did apt-get install authbind02:01
syncsysReading package lists... Done02:01
syncsysBuilding dependency tree        Reading state information... Done  authbind is already the newest version.02:01
sarnoldsyncsys: do you have an /etc/default/tomcat7 file?02:02
syncsysyes. i do now.02:05
syncsysnot before. i think some configs messed up02:05
syncsysnow its ok. runingon  8002:05
sarnoldwoot :)02:06
syncsysmy last mission , should I choose to accept, is to link the two websites domain dns with the vps and tomcat (each directory for each domain)  . I did that with apache2 httpd once. i think thats also called binding. but dont know how to do that in tomcat02:07
syncsyssarnold,  am I correct?02:09
sarnoldsyncsys: sorry, I don't know that much tomcat; it was easy to install and fiddle with ports, but actually configuring the thing is something else entirely :( sorry02:11
syncsysoh ok02:11
syncsysno problem02:11
syncsysyou helped alot already02:11
syncsysthanks sarnold  :)02:12

sarnolddecci: it might not hurt to try askubuntu.com or serverfault.com, too -- the fact that your macihne reports the names of the stupid thing just baffles me...02:42
sarnoldI'd feel happier if it didn't know anything about the san at all, you know? then it might just be "modprobe this magic" or something.02:42

arrrghhhHey all.  I just got a shiny new 4tb drive... I don't want to boot from it, but how do I properly set it up so I can use all 4tb?03:42
lifelessarrrghhh: partition it with gdisk, not fdisk.03:44
arrrghhhah ha03:44
lifelessarrrghhh: it has to be a gpt partition table for > 2TB disks.03:44
arrrghhhYea, I was reading up on that... Just found gdisk as you mentioned it :)03:45
lifelessarrrghhh: you -may- run into translation issues if you are plugging it into a non-native bus (e.g. USB)03:45

=== dayangkun_ is now known as dayangkun
arrrghhhlifeless, bah.  I'm still doing something wrong.03:54
arrrghhhPerhaps I need more "extents"?03:54
lifelessarrrghhh: I don't know. Whats happening ?03:55
arrrghhhSorry, no segway lol03:56
arrrghhhSo I'm using LVM and it's saying "Insufficient free extents (39429) in volume group 4tb: 76800 required"03:56
arrrghhhHrm.  Maybe that's all that I actually get out of a 4tb disk03:57
arrrghhhIsn't there some 'buffer' Linux creates for bad sectors or something?04:02
arrrghhhand it's a little too generous, so on large drives you adjust it down ?04:02
lifelessno04:02
arrrghhhDamnit I can't think of the term...04:02
lifelessyou're thinking of the relocation map which is internal to the device (and similarly on SSD's)04:02
arrrghhhHrm04:03
arrrghhhYea, maybe it's not for bad sectors04:03
lifelessthere is a bad block layer driver around which /can/ be placed under lvm or as block stacking thing but very few folk use it.04:03
arrrghhhI thought Linux had some sort of a buffer that I adjusted on my larger drives04:03
lifelessthere is a root only allocation group to prevent running out of space, but thats after you get a filesystem04:04
lifelessI suggest that you gdisk it, make one partition, put ext4 on it and see how big it thinks it is.04:04
arrrghhhhum.  Stupid hard disk manufacturers.04:04
arrrghhhwell after gdisk i have 3.6TiB04:04
lifelessIf it's 4TB, its all good, change the partition etc and go for lvm04:04
lifelessso 3.6TiB - Thats TiB vs TB I suspect.04:05
arrrghhhorly04:05
arrrghhhthat's how LVM reports too04:05
lifelessYou have: 4TB04:05
lifelessYou want: TiB04:05

jamespagekoolhead17, http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/ubuntu-server/cloud-archive/folsom_versions.html09:02
jamespagewould indicate that the minor release updates are in staging for the cloud archive but not yet accepted into proposed09:02
koolhead17jamespage: so once it gets accepted it will go to cloud archive which means i can use it 4 folsom. Am i correct?09:04
jamespagekoolhead17, yes09:04
koolhead17jamespage: also its been almost 2 months. Does it takes a lot of time for a bug to get fixed moved to testing and then to main cloud archive after fix?09:05

* koolhead17 bookmarks beta bug-tracker list09:13
jamespagekoolhead17, looking at that bug report I think the openvswitch agent is not impacted by that bug - its specific to the linux bridge agent09:13
koolhead17jamespage: one was because of rootwrap09:13
jamespagekoolhead17, openvswitch + quantum works just fine - I've tested it *alot*09:13
koolhead17jamespage: you have some doc you would like to share. i want to test/try/document it on our wiki09:14
jamespagekoolhead17, so I followed the quantum docs for 'shared provided gateway'09:15
koolhead17jamespage: i have a blueprint to work on, remember09:15
jamespageand used https://github.com/EmilienM/openstack-folsom-guide/blob/master/scripts/quantum-networking.sh09:15
jamespagekoolhead17, this is now all encapsulated in the nova-cloud-controller, nova-compute and quantum-gateway charms in the charm store09:16
jamespagewhich is how we are testing quantum in the CI lab now09:16
koolhead17jamespage: i would have used Juju if i had a way to use it inside proxy09:17
jamespagekoolhead17, on hardware using maas?09:18
jamespageor virtually?09:18
koolhead17jamespage:  standalone without MAAS09:18
koolhead17i have some 8 GB server and wanted it to use 4 testing09:19
jamespagekoolhead17, which provider tho?09:19
koolhead17jamespage: standllone09:19
koolhead17*standalone09:19
jamespagekoolhead17, yeah - but thats not a provider for juju09:19
jamespagedo you mean LXC?09:19
jamespagelocal provider09:19
koolhead17ya09:20
koolhead17local povider09:20
jamespageOK - so quantum does not work on the local provider09:20
jamespageneither do some of the other charms09:20
jamespagekoolhead17, its a squeeze but you might want to try using MAAS with KVM virtual machines in your server09:21
koolhead17jamespage: have not tried MAAS+Juju yet.09:21
koolhead17seems like i will have to give it a try09:21
jamespagekoolhead17, its not really for production but was used during development - there is a virsh power management option I think09:22
jamespagekoolhead17, you can then configure the squid-deb-proxy that maas will install to use you proxy infrastructure09:22
jamespagejuju will used that automatically09:22
koolhead17jamespage: i will try to get whole openstack working in traditional way as of now09:23
koolhead17to get hold of it09:23
jamespagekoolhead17, that is the best way to learn it of course!09:23
koolhead17once i have idea about espacially quantum i will try it out09:23
koolhead17juju/MaaS09:23
jamespagekoolhead17, if you want to ping me with quantum questions once you have had a go using the docs feel free09:24

TheMagusi tried assembling the raid twice with --assume-clean, so I don't believe any of the data has been touched, just the superblock14:10
TheMagushad a thought of wiping the superblock and assembling, but still uncertain as to the right move.14:10
TheMagusmy drive order was a bit odd, as well, but I am not sure if it can auto-detect that or if there's a way to specify.14:11

TheMaguspossibly; not sure if i have the drive space around for that, though.14:13
podduswell if this data is important I'd suggest you get some HDD space and copy it over14:13
poddusat least if you screw up more now you can go back and start over14:14
TheMagusyeah, I might try to grab a drive later.14:14
poddusI don't really understand this RAID5 setup. is there redundancy? is the information from the failed drive somewhere on the others?14:15

hallynstgraber: but if it hasn't been decided before it needs to go through an approval process i assume14:27
TheMagusit's on my map to get new drives for this soon, but need it to survive until then14:27
smoserhallyn, probably14:27
smoseror , yes14:27
TheMagusheck, I'll order the new ones tonight if I can get it to survive, ha14:27
hallynsmoser: then all you need to is make sure that the root device's blockdev is in the container's /dev14:27
poddusTheMagus: so did the HDD fail or is it a software bug?14:28
hallyn(i think - i'm pretty sure)14:28
podduswas it the same HDD?14:28
TheMaguspoddus: the drive "failed", i think the system overheated, honestly.14:28
TheMagusi don't recall if it was or not14:28
smoserhallyn, what is "the root device"14:28
hallynwhatever device 'mount' says root is mounted from14:29
hallyni.e. /dev/dm-714:29
poddusTheMagus: so you rebuilt the RAID the same as you did now? why do you think the problem is related?14:30
smoserhm...14:30
smoseri dont think that is true.14:30
TheMagusunsure, but I know the ordering of drives is a bit odd so I figured I'd mention it.14:30
TheMagusrather give more information than not enough, you know?14:31
stgraberhallyn: if it was a server related seeded package, it probably would be in the packageset (as cjwatson's script is supposed to do that) or we'd fix the script for it to be. But as I said, I can't see any reason why it'd be in the packageset in its current state.14:35
poddusTheMagus: alright, this RAID5 is too complicated for me to wrap my head around right now. I definitely suggest, if you want to keep your data, to back it up before you do anything else. If you succeed, unless there's a really good reason why you're running a software RAID, I suggest you put your HDDs to better use with a normal rsync backup. or backup the RAID. in any case it's always good to have a backup! :P sorry I can't be of more help.14:37
TheMagusyeah, I was already planning on my backups when it failed :T14:37
xnoxRAID is not a backup solution.14:37
TheMaguswish i had more time, you know?14:37
TheMagusxnox: yup14:38
hallynstgraber: oh, sorry, i misread your first response14:38
TheMagustrying to recover mine so i CAN back it up :T14:38
hallynstgraber: i thought it once went into the packageset so that i could push updates to cgroup-lite when it was part of libcgroup :)14:38
hallynbut maybe it just happened as a result of lxc depending on it at one time14:38
hallynsmoser: meaning you don't think grub succeeds then?14:38
hallynsmoser: you'll also need to give the container write perms to it in the container config's devices.cgroup.allow lines14:39
smoserhallyn, well, my experience was with chroot, not lxc.14:39
smoserbut i woudl have thought if it didnt work in chroot, it wouldnt work in lxc either.14:39
smoserhallyn, just so you know where i'mi coming from, i had this annoyance of not being able to 'apt-get upgrade' in a chroot of a image using 'mount-callback-umount'  at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~smoser/+junk/backdoor-image/view/head:/mount-callback-umount .14:41
smoseri thought it was not easily solved.14:41
poddusTheMagus: if your data is worth anything to you, probably the worst thing to do now is to rush it. that never works. I've tried :)14:41
TheMagusyeah14:41
smoserthen i saw your bug, and thought "Wonderful! someone has this fixsed for me!"14:42
TheMagusotherwise i would have been up all night trying to fix it, poddus14:42
TheMagusthat's why when the two creates didn't work, i stopped and sought help14:42
stgraberhallyn: was probably a one off kind of thing. I'm vaguely surprised that cgroup-lite isn't in the server packageset though14:42
TheMagusin retrospect i should have backed up immediately before trying to repair the raid :/14:42
TheMaguslive and learn so far.14:42
poddushey, that's the only way I ever learned anything14:43
hallynsmoser: in fact bug 1096984 suggests that it should work (the guy said it worked for him with lvm backed partition)14:43

hallynstgraber: ok, no big deal, i'll get the libcgroup updates sponsored, i just *thought* i remembered not having to14:44
stgraberhallyn: oh, and I remember you saying something about qemu? what source packages would you need for qemu?14:44
stgraberhallyn: it might be that libcgroup is in the packageset on older releases as packageset content is stored per series14:44
hallynstgraber: the source package is 'qemu'.  though it hasnt' made it into r yet.  (assume it's hung in NEW)14:45
hallynhaha, oops, i guess q is 12.10, not 11.1014:46
stgraberhallyn: ok, I'll wait for the new source to be accepted, then I'll poke Colin to update the script (or will myself if I can remember where it's)14:46
hallynstgraber: thanks14:46
TheMagushmm. one thought I am having is since my disk slot numbers are a bit wacky... doing a create with missing, drive 1, missing, drive 3; then adding drive 4 and 5.14:58
hallynsmoser: you're coredev right?  would you mind sponsoring libcgroup updates at http://people.canonical.com/~serge/libcgroup-rm-inits for q and r?14:59
smoserhallyn, yes, i am core dev. i will take a look.15:11
poddusTheMagus: do you know the original configuration?15:25
TheMaguspoddus: yup. The e-mail my server sent me has it even15:34
poddusso wait, your RAID was working without HDDs 0 and 2? which was originally a RAID of 4 HDDs?15:41
TheMaguspoddus: naw, it's a bit confusing, sorry. I have disks in slots 1,3,4, and 515:44

keithzgArghh, I cannot figure out why for a daily cron job that sends an e-mail, the same mail line works on my desktop and not the server.16:39
keithzgIt's literally just cat file | mail -s "subject" $MAILTO16:40
keithzgHow can something so simple be going wrong?16:40
greppykeithzg: path to cat? or the path to the file or the path to mail?16:48
RoyKkeithzg: try full path to mail16:53
RoyKkeithzg: as in 'cat file | /usr/bin/mail ...'16:54
keithzgGood idea; sadly still silently fails.16:55
keithzg...or not?16:55
keithzgah, no, it was the other thing I just did, heh. Installed postfix, which uninstalled exim4.16:56
RoyKkeithzg: is the cron job run? what does the logs say?16:57
keithzgWhatever exactly that changed, that seems to have done it. Even just "cat file | mail -s "Subject" guy@place.com" works now16:57
RoyKkeithzg: I use postfix on most of my installations16:57
RoyKok, great16:57
keithzgYeah I had actually *assumed* that postfix was installed, considering that mail was just *silently* failing, not throwing an audible fit. But I guess it was using Exim4 in the background instead? Either way, works now!16:58
RoyKkeithzg: I've seen the same with exim, never tried to debug it - just found that I wanted postfix, with which everything worked :P17:10
