azbyinsarnold, what is /etc/timezone used for? it contains the textual zone info on a single line.00:06
azbyincopying over /etc/localtime worked fine and every new process gets the correct time, but this file still has the old zone mentioned. will this need to be overwritten as well?00:07
alllexsarnold: unfortunetly I do not have xterm on my working server install; I tried iconv " for i in 'iconv -l | less | sed 's/.\{2\}$//' | less'; do iconv -c -f $i -t utf8 /FILEPATH/"  unfortunetly my bash skills are poor; could you help me to write a valid expression?00:13
sarnoldalllex: oh! silly me. I'd not noticed that /etc/timezone no longer has the zone data from /usr/share/zoneinfo/ itself.00:16
sarnoldalllex: I'm sorry I gave you bad advice.00:16
azbyinsarnold, nevermind. i peeked into /var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.postinst00:17
sarnoldalllex: the zoneinfo files have a compiled description of offset from UTC, and at specific times what to change the offset to...00:17
azbyinit is simply echoing the zoneinfo into /etc/timezone00:17
azbyinsarnold, was that ^^ for me? if yes, i know what the zoneinfo files are :)00:18
sarnoldazbyin,alllex: *sigh* nickcollides in my brain :) sorry both.00:18
azbyinhaha00:19
alllexnevermind, :-)00:20
sarnoldalllex: got it?00:20
azbyinalso, the recommendation is to copy over /etc/localtime instead of a symlink as some progs apparently *may* try to modify /etc/localtime and they will end up modifying the olson tzdata00:21
sarnoldazbyin: yikes :)00:21
alllex:-)00:21
azbyinindeed! anyway, the default is always to have that as a regular file. also noticed that the postinst actually creates a copy /etc/localtime.dpkg-new and then mv's the file to /etc/localtime00:22
azbyinprobably to ensure the tzdata file actually exists before making a symlink to a non-existent file00:23
sarnoldazbyin: probably also to avoid funny problems with filesystem races and loss-of-power.. a mv ought to be atomic, but opening, truncating, re-writing, and closing a file isn't atomic...00:25
Nicolas_Leonidashi, after changing the modem eth0 doesn't come up00:47
Nicolas_LeonidasI looked at /etc/netwrork/interfaces, it's all normal eth0 is set to auto and dhcp00:48
Nicolas_Leonidasright after ubuntu starts to run the port on modem stops blinking as if this cable is disconnected00:48
Nicolas_Leonidaswhen I do ifconfig I don't get an IP, any ideas?00:48

histoWhy are you trying to add a key for the official repo?01:20
Alysumbecause I got a BADSIG and I deleted the key - need to readd it01:20

histoNicolas_Leonidas: is your router set to dhcp?01:28
Nicolas_Leonidashisto: It is01:28
Alysumstill hangs - could it  be because I deleted it so it has nothing to compare it with ?01:29
histoNicolas_Leonidas: Does ifconfig show a link?01:29
Nicolas_Leonidashisto: it shows eth0 and Local Loopback, eth0 has HWaddr, but no inet addr, no mask, , it says UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:150001:31
Nicolas_LeonidasI wish I could copy and paste but that server is not connected to network so I can't ssh01:31
histoNicolas_Leonidas: if you run dhclient  does it obtain an ip or error?01:32
Nicolas_Leonidaslet me try that01:32
histoNicolas_Leonidas: also what if you statically assign an ip within the routers network range and proper gateway etc... does it work?01:33
sarnoldAlysum: hrm. I was able to re-install the key in ~one second...01:34
sarnoldAlysum: 'host keyserver.ubuntu.com' shows two IPs.. I wonder if one or the other of them times out for you?01:34
sarnoldAlysum: can you ping keyserver.ubuntu.com ?01:34
Alysumok I need to find somewhere where I can download the 437D05B5 key then add it manually01:35
Alysumsarnold: I can telnet  keyserver.ubuntu.com 8001:35
Nicolas_Leonidashisto: dhclient eth0 is still running no output yet,I haven't tried the static IP address, I will try it01:35
sarnoldAlysum: and when you try to interact with the server there, you get the results you expect? or errors? or _sometihng_ to show you've connected at least? :)01:37
histoNicolas_Leonidas: Did you change the cable when you changed the modem? Does the modem show a link light and the nic card show a link light?01:37
Nicolas_Leonidashisto: I did not change the modem, the link light goes dead after ubuntu starts and tries to configure virtual network devices01:37
Nicolas_Leonidasboth on modem and server01:37
Nicolas_LeonidasI see an option to flush dhcp cache, maybe I should try that?01:38
Nicolas_Leonidasdhclient eth0 still running, is this normal?01:38

sarnoldAlysum: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5566546/01:40

histoNicolas_Leonidas: When you say you upgraded your internet connection what exactly does that mean?01:41
histoNicolas_Leonidas: You said you changed the modem also???01:41
Nicolas_Leonidashisto: that means they took my modem, gave me a new one, and my connection is faster now, 50MBPS Down 10MBPS up baby01:41
sarnoldMBps and not Mbps? :)01:42
Alysumsarnold: thanks - turns out it was a firewall issue....I thought I only needed port 80 open but hkp uses something else!01:42
sarnoldAlysum: aha! :D01:42
Nicolas_Leonidassarnold: yes, THAT!01:42
sarnoldNicolas_Leonidas: _drool_ :D01:42
histoNicolas_Leonidas: Do any other ports ont he modem work with other PCs?01:42

Nicolas_Leonidasiphone and printers use the wifi as well01:43
Nicolas_Leonidasdhclient eth0  stopped with no output01:43
Nicolas_Leonidashisto: so see when I Restart the machine, lights start blinking then ubuntu starts and they both die01:44
Nicolas_LeonidasI'm looking at modem logs, it doesn't seem like that server has reached the modem for requesting a dhcp lease01:44
histoNicolas_Leonidas: try one of the cables and ports that is known working on the ubuntu machine01:44
Alysumanyway thanks!01:44
histoNicolas_Leonidas: sounds like a bad cable to me.01:45
Nicolas_Leonidashisto: did that, just to make sure the cable is working, it was working with PS, now Ubuntu is using that cable, and PS is running fine with what Ubuntu was using01:45
histoNicolas_Leonidas: did you switch ports on the modem?01:45
Nicolas_Leonidashisto: yeah, it sounds kinda hardcore, I didn't even know you can turn off a light on a modem with software :)01:45
Nicolas_Leonidashisto: hmmm no, let me try that, I might have accidentally though01:46
histoNicolas_Leonidas: Was ubuntu working prior to this modem switch?01:46
Nicolas_Leonidashisto: it was01:46
histoOkay well it has to be hardware then01:46
histoIf the software didn't change the only thing you changed was hardware01:47
genii-aroundNicolas_Leonidas: Are  the TX and RX fields of ifconfig showing any traffic at all?01:47
Nicolas_Leonidashe took the old modem/routher away otherwise I would have used the same modem to see01:47
histogenii-around: He has no link period01:47
histoNicolas_Leonidas: did you see if the port is dead on the modem?01:47
Nicolas_Leonidasgenii-around: 0 for eth0, some for loopback01:47
Nicolas_Leonidashisto: changed the port, changed to a port that was just working no difference01:47
genii-aroundNicolas_Leonidas: Does sudo ifconfig -a show an eth1 or eth2 that maybe it was plugged before?01:48
Nicolas_Leonidasgenii-around: no just eth0 and lo01:49
genii-aroundHm.01:49
Nicolas_Leonidasis loopback a normal thing for an OS to make? windows does that too probably right?01:49
Nicolas_Leonidasthat just makes localhost and 127.0.0.1 and such work correct?01:49
genii-aroundHave you tried a crossover cable?01:50
Nicolas_Leonidasgenii-around: no why would I try that? the cable is working I switched it with another computer01:51
genii-aroundNicolas_Leonidas: Because some older adapters can't automatically tell how the cable is wired01:51
genii-aroundI had this issue before with many Ovislink modems01:52
Nicolas_LeonidasI'll try that after everything else fails because I'll have to move the server closer to the modem01:53
sarnoldNicolas_Leonidas: does any other device plugged in at the server show a linklight?01:53
genii-around( eg: straight-through 568B - no go, x-over 568B - worked )01:54
Nicolas_Leonidassarnold: any device plugged in the server or router?01:54
sarnoldNicolas_Leonidas: plugged into the router, but at the server..01:54
sarnold(does that entire run of cable and port on the router _work_)01:54
Nicolas_Leonidassarnold: I'm sorry I don't understand the router has 4 ports, 2 of which are connected they have linklights blinking, this ubuntu server is also connected but not blinking01:55
Nicolas_Leonidasit stops blinking at boot01:55
sarnoldNicolas_Leonidas: if you unplug the server and plug in a laptop, does the laptop work?01:56
Nicolas_Leonidassarnold: I did that and it worked, but let me try again one more time01:56
sarnoldhunh.01:56
histoI'm guessing bad connection on a cable end01:57
histoHas to be01:57
genii-aroundIs the modem bridged and using PPPOE login on each client? Bell for instance allows 3 MAC only this way, 4th fails.01:57
histoUbuntu didn't change the modem did01:57
histopossibly the cable got bad from being moved etc...01:57
histoit has a bad end most likely01:57
jetolehey guys. does anyone know what kind of hardware / driver issue would cause a permenant uninterruptible state on a process where, according to ps wchan, the process is in the syscall lock() ?01:59
jetoleer I mean fork()01:59
Nicolas_Leonidassad to report that it does in fact work with laptop02:00
sarnoldNicolas_Leonidas: woo. that's a help. can you throw a crossover between the laptop and the server?02:01
genii-aroundNicolas_Leonidas: What are the IPs of the other boxes attached? eg: LAN type IP or outward facing type IP?02:01
genii-around( if outward facing types, likely the bridged situation and the servers MAC is not allowed because too many concurrent logins )02:02
Nicolas_Leonidasgenii-around: LAN type, 192.168.2.24 on this windows02:02
genii-aroundNicolas_Leonidas: OK.02:02
Nicolas_Leonidassarnold: good idea let me see if I have one02:02
sarnoldNicolas_Leonidas: (gigabit cards won't require crossover, they do that automatically..)02:03
Nicolas_Leonidassarnold: wow that's cool02:04
jetolesarnold: I don't think that's a spec of gigabit cards, though most do, but I think what you're referring to is MDI/MDI-X02:04
sarnoldjetole: no kidding? I thought it was part of the spec of gigabit..02:05
jetolesarnold: I said I don't think so I'm not sure but MDI/MDI-X is the term for auto detect and adjust for crossover02:06
Nicolas_Leonidasok so laptop connected to server worked, they both get IPS, there is traffic in TX and RX02:07
Nicolas_Leonidascan we conclude it's not the cable, nor the NIC of the server?02:07
lifelessjetole: gigabit uses all pairs in all directions I believe02:07
lifelessjetole: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1000BASE%E2%80%91T#1000BASE-T02:07
sarnoldNicolas_Leonidas: do you get the 169 auto-config addresses? or is one host handing out dhcp? or ..02:07
lifelessjetole: so MDI/MDI-X doesn't make any sense at all, thats 100Mbit and below.02:08
jetolelifeless and sarnold: it's a sad day when you don't learn something new. cool02:08
sarnoldjetole: indeed, and today I learned two new things :) gigabit does, but in a different way than 100. haha. :D02:09
jetolenow we just need to apply this to USB micro so I can stick my android foot up the !@# of all my iPhone co-workers02:09
Nicolas_Leonidassarnold: not quire sure what's happening one is a mac laptop, it says using DHCP, IP 169.254.178.29 the server has an ipv6 ip no ipv4 apparantly02:09
jetoleNicolas_Leonidas: 169.254 is a anycast02:09
jetoleI think for bonjour02:09
jetolemDNS02:09
jetoleer... not anycast02:09
jetole... well maybe. don't know but yeah, it' for bonjour02:09
genii-aroundIt's fallback when no dhcp server02:09
Nicolas_Leonidaswhy didn't occur to me to restart the modem at all?02:10
lifelessjetole: 169.254 is zeroconf, for DHCPless networks.02:10
sarnoldNicolas_Leonidas: ok. I was worried that perhaps one of them was _also_ doing dhcp and making a royal mess.02:11
lifelessjetole: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_configuration_networking#Address_selection02:11
Nicolas_LeonidasI have done some relatively advanced things such as bind9 on this ubuntu server, I wonder if there is another file like /etc/network/interface to look at to see if I have changed anything02:12
jetolelifeless: I'll take your word for it. I don't know the specifics or care though... isn't bonjour zeroconf? anyways. I know it's useful on those nets where they use some protocol for people who can't get a IP and don't know how to use packet capture02:13
jetoleNicolas_Leonidas: I don't work on those nets02:13
Nicolas_Leonidasthe problem starts in boot with "starting configure virtual network devices" I can see the linklight going dead right then02:16
Nicolas_Leonidaswhat is a virtual network device do I need one?02:16
jetoleNicolas_Leonidas: ip -o link ls02:17
jetolewhat do you see?02:17
Nicolas_Leonidas1: lo: <LOOPBACK, UP, LOWER_UP>02:18
Nicolas_Leonidas2:eth0: <NO-CARRIER, BROADCAST, MULTICAST, UP>02:18
jetolehuh @ NO-CARRIER02:18
sarnoldcurious :) and yet it link lights with the laptop..02:19
jetoleI missed your original question but with a up state and no carrier on eth0 it means one of a few small issues, cable unplugged, module not loaded... actually the nic shouldn't appear without the module so not that, broken module or broken hardware02:19
jetoleNicolas_Leonidas: sorry, what is the problem you're having?02:20
Nicolas_Leonidasjetole: I posted with more details here  http://askubuntu.com/questions/261332/no-network-on-ubuntu-server-after-changing-the-modem Alysumit just hangs02:20
jetolebtw, I know re-posting isn't the best etiquette but no reply on my original question yet. what can cause a D state on a process where it's the fork() syscall ?02:21
jetoleNicolas_Leonidas: let me look02:21
Nicolas_LeonidasI basically got a new modem today, and ubuntu server doesn't connect to the network, cables are all fine, the router's linklight turns off for the ubuntu server on boot02:21
jetolehave you tried with another computer? The model connects via ethernet. Right?02:22
Nicolas_Leonidasjetole: tried the same cable with a laptop it worked02:22
Nicolas_Leonidasit does connect via ethernet right02:22
jetoleand the computer connects fine to other systems that aren't the modem?02:23
Nicolas_Leonidasyou mean like one computer to another computer on LAN?02:23
jetoleyeah02:24
jetolewell... stop02:24
jetoleyou're connecting eth0 directly to the modem. right?02:24
Nicolas_Leonidasjetole: I am right02:24
jetoleok. so eth0 works fine with other devices?02:24
jetoleconnected to a switch or cross connected to another system, etc?02:24
Nicolas_Leonidasjetole: correct02:25
Nicolas_Leonidaswhen I cross connected it worked fine02:25
jetoleconnect the system to the modem via Ethernet, unplug the power from the modem, count from 1 mississippi - 10 mississippi and when the modem is done booting run: ip link ls dev eth002:25
jetoleand look for no-carrier02:25
jetoleoh... after 10, plug the modem back in. I forgot that part but should be obvious02:26
Nicolas_Leonidasok so I will be disconnected from here, see you guys in a bit02:27
jetoleNicolas_Leonidas:02:28
jetoleif you don't come back I'll assume everything worked well :-)02:28
jetolegood luck02:28
Nicolas_LeonidasBy the way one time an ISP gave me a modem with 4 ports, that had a hard coded limit of one02:28
sarnoldheh02:28
jetoleNicolas_Leonidas: could have had the option to have more enabled via the ISP's end02:29

trevorjSup guys, how do I get Quantal to see OpenStack charms for Quantal?07:08
trevorjI see some in the ~openstack-ubuntu-testing area but I can't seem to find documention on the 'openstack-origin' option07:09
trevorjFor instance, keystone is not in the main charm store repo for Quantal07:10
trevorjgot it07:16
trevorjI used cs:~openstack-ubuntu-testing/keystone07:16
trevorjIs there documentation for this anywhere? As far as where the official quantal openstack charms are?07:17
trevorjJust want to make sure I'm not using some random outdated set of charms, etc07:17
trevorjHmm, seems rabbitmq-server from that repo for quantal actually just throws me a pleasant assertionerror with no string attached07:33
jamespageDaviey, zul: review appreciated - horizon is broken in raring right now - https://code.launchpad.net/~james-page/horizon/g3-compress/+merge/15050207:39
jamespagetrevorj, you can just use the charms for precise with quantal07:40
jamespagetrevorj, OR you can use the openstack-origin to select the folsom cloud archive and deploy openstack folsom on 12.0407:40
jamespagetrevorj, there are some docs somewhere07:40
jamespagetrevorj, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuCloudInfrastructure07:42
trevorjjamespage: Yeah, I've seen those docs07:45
trevorjjamespage: I meant ones specifying how to say, get it working on quantal07:45
trevorjjamespage: cs:quantal/keystone does not exist07:46
trevorjjamespage: same with mysql and others07:46
jamespagetrevorj, I'd branch the precise charms locally and the deploy them to quantal07:46
jamespagetrevorj, but you are quite right - that does need fixing up in the charm store as well07:47
* jamespage makes a note to sort that out07:47
trevorjjamespage: ty, I figured the precise charms wouldn't run on quantal, but that's fantastic to hear07:47
jamespagetrevorj, they have to because of the cloud-archive07:48
jamespagewhich allows Folsom (and soon Grizzly) to be deployed in 12.0407:48
trevorjWonderful07:48
trevorjI would just use precise but the screen output on my blades is all black (radeondrmfb)07:48
trevorjI can fix it manually with nomodeset or an updated kernel, but that's a pain for many servers. I'm just now getting into Juju and MaaS, so additional configuraton is one hurdle I need to handle after I get this dev stack up and running.07:50
jamespagetrevorj, please raise a bug for that - I've heard a few murmurings about the server boot experience and I feel it needs some attention -  feel free to subscribe me to the bug (james-page in LP)07:52
trevorjjamespage: will do; I'll put it in tomorrow.07:53
trevorjTis 3am here ;)07:53
trevorjSomething else to note, I had to disable avahi-daemon in the generic preseed for MaaS because my DNS domain is 'lan0.beast2.locsol.local', ie it ends in .local07:54
trevorjI see a few bugs have been opened for this already, I'm just not sure if there's a better way I'm missing?07:55
trevorjThe problem is all nodes but the initial juju zk node cannot resolve the initial zk node's fqdn07:57
trevorjI know I can remove [NOTFOUND=return] in nsswitch.conf, or use say 'files dns mdns4' in place, but as I said I still need to figure out a good way of doing additional configuration per node with MaaS+Juju07:58
jamespagetrevorj, hmm07:58
jamespagetrevorj, lemme think about that - I'll post something back in channel here (have to duck out for a bit)07:59
trevorjjamespage: no prob, I'll check back. Thanks!07:59
trevorjI was thinking of patching avahi-daemon to have a blacklist-domain option08:01
trevorjwhere I specify a root domain (in my case, locsol.local) and any subdomains of that domain will not be handled by avahi08:01
trevorj(subdomains and that domain I mean)08:02
trevorjThat way standard .local mDNS still works08:02
TheLordOfTimecan anyone suggest an easy-to-setup-and-deploy DNS server solution, one which I can configure via a GUI or web interface?08:08
trevorjTheLordOfTime: powerdns08:08
TheLordOfTimetrevorj, part of the repos?08:08
trevorjTheLordOfTime: no, http://www.powerdns.com/content/downloads.html08:09
trevorjTheLordOfTime: it really just uses a mysql backend08:09
trevorjTheLordOfTime: really nice for more 'dynamic' dns installs08:09
trevorjTheLordOfTime: I haven't used it for years, but it had a nice web interface ~5 years ago08:10
TheLordOfTimeideally, ease-of-configuration is what i really need...08:10
TheLordOfTimewhether CLI or gui/web based08:10
trevorjTheLordOfTime: so, not bind? ;)08:10
TheLordOfTime:P08:11
trevorjTheLordOfTime: if it's a real small install, I use dnsmasq08:11
trevorjTheLordOfTime: just depends if you just need to host a few A records or need something more elaborate08:12
Davieyjamespage: looking08:12
TheLordOfTimemulti-zone A, CNAME, etc.08:12
TheLordOfTimetrevorj, ^08:12
trevorjthen check out powerdns ;)08:12
trevorjthey've got a deb on the download page08:12
trevorjWow, folsom is much nicer than essex. Wow.08:27
trevorjI still have to catch up on using quantum/cinder, lots of work ahead08:29
=== smb` is now known as smb
jamespagetrevorj, quantum is supported in the charms from folsom onwards08:34
jamespagetrevorj, quantum-gateway is the extra bit08:34
trevorjjamespage: awesome, ty08:58
trevorjjamespage: lots to learn, last I played with openstack was when cinder and quantum were broken git repos heavy in development08:59

trapniiiWhy is "mailutils" package depending on Postfix? I just want /bin/mail to forward outgoing mails to the real mail server and not install postfix locally.10:48
trapniiiany ideas ?10:48
maxbtrapniii: it's not, it's depending on any MTA10:50
rbasaktrapniii: you can use nullmailer for delivery to a smarthost with a queue, or msmtp for immediate blocking delivery to a smarthost without a queue. If you install one of them at the same time as instlaling mailutils, then postfix won't be required as they both provide "mail-transport-agent" as maxb explained10:57
maxbAlthough I've had problems with nullmailer in the past (possibly fixed in current versions, not sure). I wonder if a minimal postfix isn't the better option.10:59
Davieyrbasak: Have you looked at http://www.monkey-project.com/ ?11:05
* rbasak looks11:05
Davieyrbasak: i wondered if it had hyperscale value over apache2 or nginx11:06
rbasakInteresting11:06
rbasakI'm wondering what it gives over nginx11:06
rbasakIt says it's optimised for Linux, which I suppose is something11:06
rbasakIt's certainly interesting, but I don't feel that their website gives me anything compelling. I don't know of anyone feeling nginx pain, so not sure what they resolve.11:07
Davieyrbasak: yeah, that sound accurate11:08
rbasakI do appreciate the existence of multiple options though. I dislike monocultures. So good for them, and I hope they are around if/when we do feel nginx pain11:08
rbasakThen again, even a small performance improvement would make a big difference at hyperscale. But I don't think we're at a point where that would make a difference quite yet.11:10
rbasakIt might be interesting for some of our hyperscale performance guys11:11

maxbmae_tae: Your question needs more context12:52
mae_taemaxb: subnet 192.168.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.0.0.10 192.0.0.20 } <--- i know that this doesnt work because of the subnet 192.168.5.0 but is this possible to implement in ubuntu?12:56
maxbmae_tae: You've given us a fragment of some sort of configuration file, but not explained what kind of thing you're trying to configure12:57
rbasakmae_tae: I believe so. But not that it's not really a question of Ubuntu. All Linux-based systems will have the same capabilities here12:57
rbasakI'm assuming you're talking about a DHCP server here12:57
mae_taerbasak: yes you're right, i really wanted to give a range of ip different from its network12:58
mae_taeif that is possible in linux12:58
rbasakI'm sure Linux can do it if it's possible. But I wonder how DHCP renewals would work. It might violate the DHCP protocol itself.12:59
maxbIf the machines are able to broadcast DHCP discovery packets and have the server hear and respond to them, why not just keep things simple and give the DHCP server an IP in the appropriate subnet?13:01
mae_taesubnet 192.168.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.5.10 192.168.5.20 } <---- i know this works because those ranges belong to 192.168.5.0 network, but would it possible to assign range of ip's different from its network, if not how can i implement like that, because in pfsense this is really possible13:01
donzaif there is request for address which doesn't have subnet defined in ISC DHCPD server I believe server wont offer anything13:18
donzae.g. there is client that wants to renew or extend lease for address 192.0.0.11, and there is not subnet defined for 192.0.0.0/24, DHCP server wont offer anything13:20
donzaDHCP server is authoritative only for subnets you have explicitly defined in DHCPD server's config13:22

jamespagezul, what are we going todo about versioning in the lab?  quite a few projects are being rejected from the PPA's now due to <= current version checking15:21

zuljamespage:  have you had any ideas?15:22
jamespagezul, thats not a solution15:22
jamespagezul, how does the version numbering bit work now?15:22
jamespage2013.1.a11.g59514bf+git201302260501~precise-0ubuntu115:23
jamespage2013.1.a11.g59514bf comes from upstream right?15:23
zulyeah15:23
jamespageand what does .a11 mean? I see the last is the commit15:23
Davieyerr, derived from the git commit - upstream hasn;t standardised on that15:23
zuljamespage:  im not sure about the .al115:24
zuler.. .a1115:24
zuljamespage:  i know why its changing but the a11 means nothing to me15:25
jamespagezul, why does it change?15:26
zuljamespage:  because the projects are standardizing on oslo changes15:26
zuljamespage:  if i do a `git describe` in the tree for quantum i get the following: 2013.1.g3-38-g511ac7615:27
zuljamespage:  so when we run python setup.py sdist the version is grabbed from the git it15:30
zuljamespage: however if we set the OSLO_VERSION before running python setup.py sdist we should be able to get a sane version number15:30
jamespagezul, OSLO_PACKAGE_VERSION might work15:32
zuljamespage: checking15:32
jamespageit overrides everything else in setup.get_version15:32
zuljamespage:  yeah that works15:35
jamespagezul, I think that way we can move back to the 2013.1+gitXXXXXX approach15:35
zuljamespage:  looks good to me15:35
jamespagezul, lemme take a look at o-u-t15:36
zuljamespage:  do you want to add it to the or did...nm15:36

jamespageadam_g, any opinions on the above15:41
jamespage?15:41
zuljamespage:  i think it would be easier just to export OSLO_PACKAGE_VERSION wouldnt it?15:42
jamespagezul, well it would if the sdist was not run a schroot15:42
zuljamespage:  good point15:42
jamespagezul, what differences do you get between sdist and git archive?15:42
zuljamespage:  the shouldnt be any differences lemme check15:43
jamespagezul, egg stuff, AUTHORS Changelog15:44
jamespagenothing that looks like a problem15:45

SynSynWorkLet me see if I can get a 08.04 installer to load, I should have a CD around here...18:36
RoyKor try 10.04 first18:37
CallingPantheri am runnin 8.04 server on this laptop18:38
* RoyK has a vm on hardy running zimbra18:38
RoyKtoo bad support for that goes out in a month or so18:38
CallingPanthermy laptop is so old it won't runn any thin newer and can't runwith gui18:39
SynSynWorkHa.18:39
CallingPantherso CLI only18:40
SynSynWorkYeah, my laptops only 11.10 but I waited a long time to upgrade that.18:40
CallingPanther40Gb hdd and 256Mb Ram18:40
SynSynWorkI have a 333MHz running Gentoo, still.18:40
SynSynWorkI can't remember how much memory it has, but it took weeks to compile everything.  Those were the times.18:41
CallingPantheri forgot what this cpu is.... think like 26618:41
SynSynWorkNice18:41
RoyKgoodie ;)18:42
CallingPantherold toshiba was given to me with winblows 2k18:42
RoyKa raspberry pi will kick that out18:42
SynSynWorkYeah, it's crazy.  My phone is quad-core (1GHz), server is 333MHz.18:42
CallingPantherquickly found new use for it...lol and new OS.....windows free home18:42
* RoyK has a quad-core 1,4GHz in his phone18:43
SynSynWorkI have one Windblows box for testing, everything else is *nix18:43
CallingPantherI ran a webserver for a bit but could only handle 2 connections or it crashed18:44
RoyKwintendo is nice for certain things18:44
CallingPantherI do miss games but hey thats the price you pay for security18:44
CallingPantherOpenArena will do in a pinch...lol18:45
SynSynWorkRoyK, I have the Nexus 4, so it's actually 1.5GHz Quad.18:45
* RoyK only has the S318:46
SynSynWorkI'll admit I play games on the windblown box from time to time, but with Steam's official port to Linux, no more fscking with Wine…I'm happy.18:46
CallingPanthermy internet is not good enough for Steam18:47
SynSynWorklol18:47
CallingPantherout in tha boonies18:47
SynSynWorkThen you don't want to hear about my 105Mbps connection.18:48
* SynSynWork laughs18:48
CallingPantherno offence..... but bite me18:48
SynSynWorklmfao18:48
SynSynWorkI have a friend who lives in the sticks, he had dial up until only a few years ago.18:48
CallingPanthermy mother has 25mbps she is in town... only 45 minutes away18:49
SynSynWorkHis only other option the entire time was Sat.  Sat for down, and still dial-up for up.  Or ISDN (which just isn't worth the price).18:49
CallingPantherI remember ISDN days.....18:50
CallingPantherthen T1s and T3s18:50
CallingPantherThought we were the bees knees back then18:51
SynSynWorklol18:51
CallingPanthernow everyone and their mother is faster than me18:51
SynSynWorkDSL does suck.18:51
SynSynWorkAll around, its just bad news.18:51
CallingPantheron DSL but speed test shows .08/.0518:52
SynSynWorkYup.18:52
CallingPantheralmost dialup18:52
SynSynWorkDamn, do you have the 3.0 or 1.5M plan?18:52
SynSynWorkI _paid_ half of that (~$30) for 25M.  Now I pay $70 for 105M18:53
CallingPanther1.5 not paying 3 times moe when they can't even give me what I am paying for18:53
SynSynWorkDo you know how far you are from the CO?18:54
CallingPantherummm by their reaction.....lightyears.....lol18:54
SynSynWorklol18:55
SynSynWorkFurther you are, the worse service/signal you'll get.18:55
CallingPantherI thihnk it is in town 3 miles away18:55
CallingPanthermy nid to their box is 200yards18:56
SynSynWork3 miles is generally considered the upper limit for acceptable service.18:56
SynSynWorkSounds like your on the edge there18:56
CallingPantheryeah I know18:57
SynSynWorkWhich wold explain part of the problme18:57
CallingPantherI used to do tech support for a DSL company18:57
CallingPantherdoes not help that I am shooting wireless 100 ft from where the router is18:58
CallingPantherI have a jacked up setup18:58
CallingPantherphone to modem to wireless PC that passes it off to another router in here for the other PCs18:59
CallingPantherand here I was thinking of adding another router to the mix....lol19:01
CallingPantherfor a webserver and email server19:02
CallingPantherwhen you have machines with no purpose you think .....what else can i do here19:03
SynSynWorkRoyK, All of our CDs were desktop (and i386) so downloading now...19:04
CallingPantherwill return when all OSs are installed and updated......cya then19:06
RoyKusing 32bit installs for a server isn't exactly recommended19:09
RoyK(nor are desktop installs)19:09
SynSynWorkRoyK, Got it working… vga=711 nomodeset (which I tried earlier).  The difference this time?  I switched out the monitor, as a last ditch effort.19:10
SynSynWorkYeah those desktop CDs were for other various projects.19:13
RoyKSynSynWork: working with 12.04?19:13
SynSynWork12.04.219:14
RoyKok19:14
SynSynWorkRoyK, Same option I had tried earlier.  Just swapped the monitor out.19:14
SynSynWorkSo clearly it was an issue with the monitor - go figure.19:14
RoyKseems monitor handshake in fb is somewhat dodgy19:14
RoyKI've seen that earlier19:14
RoyKthere should be a "use text mode!" setting19:15
SynSynWorkNo kidding19:15
RoyKespecially if you're through a kvm switch with oldish monitors19:15
RoyKubuntu can't read from the monitor what to do19:16
SynSynWorkWas a standard new-ish Dell monitor, nothing fancy or special.19:16
SynSynWorkI'm not using a cheap, old ass 13incher19:16
RoyKimho using framebuffer on a server doesn't make sense19:16
RoyKwhat would you need it for?19:17
SynSynWorkAgreed19:17
SynSynWorkSerial Console or GTFO19:17
RoyKcan you file I bug?19:17
RoyK"enable text mode by default, please"19:18
RoyKit shouldn't be very hard19:18

br0xenIs this an appropriate place to ask a question about SMTP servers in Ubuntu?22:17
blkperlbr0xen: sure, whats the question22:24
br0xenOk, and please excuse my ignorance, I just haven't done much with email servers... I built a website for a company that was previously relaying email through their exchange server, everything worked fine that way, but then they upped their security and are now demanding that I run my own email server using a subdomain of their main domain as the 'from' address...22:27
br0xenSo, previously we would send email from something like "payments@domain.com", now they say they want me to switch it to "payments@my.domain.com", and they claim that I should be able to authenticate everything correctly... My thought is that since I'm not relaying through the 'official' domain.com, this email will be caught in more spam filters and stuff.22:28
br0xenJust trying to find anyone that might have experience with something like this... If not, I'll keep searching. :-)22:30
blkperlbr0xen: I don't think you need to worry about that, relaying though the "official" domain doesn't make it less likely to get blocked by spam :)22:33
blkperlfilters22:33
br0xenHeh, ok.22:33
br0xenSo, I suppose my next question would be, what route is recommended for setting up an email server, piggy-backed on a web server? It would only need to send email (in fact, preventing incoming email would be a plus, that way we wouldn't need to worry about mailboxes filling up.)22:35
blkperlI think people recommend Postfix https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix22:36
br0xenI've looked into postfix and exim a little bit.22:36
br0xenYeah, that's what I was thinking.22:36
lamontI tend to do everything with postfix, but then, I'm heavily biased.22:36
* blkperl is stuck with sendmail :(22:37
trevorjlamont: me too22:37
trevorjI cannot stand exim's config syntax22:37
trevorjReminds me of m4 macros22:37
lamontblkperl: I remember when I accidentally switched a production mailing list from sendmail to postfix... 2 weeks later someone noticed.22:37
sarnoldsendmail? in the year 2000? wow.22:37
lamontthe "melissa virus" was my postfix win at HP, back when22:38
blkperlconfigs were written in the 90s not going to touch them :)22:38
sarnoldah :)22:38

joel___Hola. I'm looking for some advice on setting up my web server - I've ran into an odd issue. Is this the righ place?22:49
trevorjyup22:49
joel___:)22:49
trevorjWhat's your question, sir?22:50
joel___So, I've created a virtual host for a site, installed the software (Lamp stack) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, moved site files over, and when I navigate to to the domain.com/install.php page it's blank. However, a file with the SAME ownership, grouping, and permissions containing a simple <?php phpinfo(); ?> works fine… Any thoughts?22:52
trevorjjoel___: you're prolly missing a php module22:52
joel___I was thinking my vhosts file is bad, but not sure why one file would show up fine and others not… (seems to be some PHP files, as .txt files show up fine)22:52
joel___Mmm....22:52
trevorjjoel___: enable php startup logging22:52
trevorjjoel___: in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini enable error_log = syslog22:53
trevorjjoel___: also enable showing of errors and startup errors22:53
trevorjjoel___: restart apache2, then try it22:53
joel___error_log = syslog is already set.22:54
trevorjjoel___: you can also try tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log or whatever error log you set your vhost to use22:54
trevorjjoel___: great22:54
trevorjjoel___: install ccze22:54
trevorjjoel___: tail -qF /var/log/syslog | ccze -A22:54
trevorjjoel___: tail -qF /var/log/syslog /var/log/apache/*.log /whatever/other/vhost/logs/you/got | ccze -A22:55
trevorjjoel___: I mean that ^22:55
trevorjjoel___: then go to it, see if you see anything interesting22:55
joel___lol. Right. Ok.22:55
sarnoldccze?22:55
trevorjsarnold: makes logs readable, colorizes ;)22:55
sarnoldah :)22:55
trevorjsarnold: it's got a memleak though so you can't run it for months (tried that)22:56
sarnoldtrevorj: hahahaha22:57
trevorjWas great when production servers went down due to my own colorized log viewing22:57
trevorjlol22:57
joel___So, hitting my domain.com/butt gives me a not found in my error log (awesome), but it doesn't throw any error when tailing the syslog and navigating to a file that IS in existence (domain.com/install.php)22:58
joel___lol @ CoLoRz22:59
trevorjjoel___: kinda nice isn't it?22:59
joel___Totally22:59
joel___:)22:59
trevorjjoel___: enable showing of startup errors and showing errors22:59
trevorjjoel___: that way it'll actually output something to your browser as well22:59
joel___Mmm.22:59
trevorjjoel___: display_errors and display_startup_errors23:00
trevorjjoel___: they're both off by default in the config23:00
tyson_Hi there, I have an issue with updating my 12.10 ubuntu server with fetching error, can anyone help?23:00
joel___Sure enough, startup_errors was Off (displaying I turned on already). I'll restart.23:00
trevorjtyson_: what do you mean fetching error?23:01
trevorjtyson_: like with apt-get ?23:01
tyson_trevorj: yes, sorry23:01
trevorjtyson_: pastebin the error23:01
trevorjtyson_: er, full output I mean23:01
tyson_trevorj: ok23:01
tyson_trovrj: http://imagebin.org/24825023:03
trevorjtyson_: sounds like your dns isn't working23:04
trevorjtyson_: can you 'dig google.com'23:04
trevorjtyson_: er, dig +short google.com23:04
trevorjtyson_: cat /etc/resolv.conf23:05
trevorjtyson_: do you see any nameserver entries?23:05
tyson_trevorj: I haven't tried as I installed it as a server (black and white)23:05
trevorjtyson_: are they correct?23:05
tyson_trevorj: let me try23:05
trevorjtyson_: hey, it's got colors too ;)23:05
joel___So, apache2 error.log is showing 'caught SIGTERM, shutting down'. It's crashing, then? I'm a bit confused as text files and a phpinfo(); is running fine, but no other *.php files are working.23:06
tyson_trevorj: lol... i meant, I only have the shell sript and I only access it remotly, anyway, I think it's empty23:07
trevorjtyson_: are you using DHCP or static IP23:07
tyson_# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)23:07
tyson_#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN23:07
sarnoldtyson_: two lines?23:07
trevorjtyson_: are you specifying network config via /etc/network/interfaces or via network-manager23:07
tyson_trevorj: good question... I was on DHCP but messed about with it the other day to get a static IP, so it is now on static23:07
trevorjtyson_: rm -f /etc/resolv.conf; echo -e 'nameserver 8.8.8.8\nnameserver 8.8.4.4' > /etc/resolv.conf23:08
trevorjtyson_: try that ;)23:08
tyson_trevorj: knowledge is power.... UP and running, thank you... what was the problem?23:09
trevorjtyson_: you were missing DNS servers as you were originally setup DHCP23:09
trevorjtyson_: when you switched to static you didn't specify any nameservers so after you rebooted you lost your generated dns server list23:09
trevorjtyson_: I asked you to rm the existing copy as if you don't it will auto generate it via resolvconf23:10
trevorjtyson_: it's originally a symlink to a tmpfs file23:10
tyson_trevorj: thank you very much23:11
trevorjtyson_: you can also specify them in /etc/network/interfaces but I always forget if the syntax is plural or not so I just do it the old way23:11
trevorjtyson_: anytime, sir23:11
tyson_trevorj: that is the file I edited to give it a static Ip in the first place23:11
trevorjtyson_: yes it is23:11
trevorjtyson_: you can use dns-nameserver or dns-nameservers in there under the iface if you don't remove the symlink as I asked you to do23:12
trevorjtyson_: I just never remember which of those two it is23:12
trevorjtyson_: so I do it this way23:12
trevorjtyson_: tis all preference23:12
tyson_trevorj: thank you for sorting the problem out but most of all for the explanation.... VALUABLE23:13
trevorjjoel___: sorry, I missed your message23:16
joel___NO, you're good. :)23:16
trevorjjoel___: thats just from you restarting apache223:16
trevorjjoel___: it's also possible your app is die()'ing23:17
trevorjjoel___: you may be in for some php troubleshooting23:17
joel___(how do you guys keep addressing people like trevorj__: ? Typing that manually?)23:17
trevorjjoel___: tab complete ;)23:17
joel___trevorj: BAm23:17
trevorjyeah, IRC is awesome.23:17
joel___trevorj: Yeah, I'm able to drop some PHP in a test file (http://dev2.concrete.ly/test2.php)23:18
joel___But the install.php is just blank…23:18
trevorjjoel___: what app is this?23:18
joel___ClientExec23:18
trevorjah, paid app23:19
trevorjdoes it use some nasty obscurity methods?23:19
joel___Could you tell me if my permissions are correct?23:19
joel___Oh… maybe?23:19
trevorjmost paid apps do23:19
joel___thought it was a free download23:19
trevorjthey usually use something like, crap I forget the name23:19
joel___Aaaah. Interesting.23:19
trevorjjoel___: ioncube is the one most widely used23:20
trevorjjoel___: If you're just looking for helpdesk software and you're just testing one out, I like OTRS23:20
trevorjjoel___: in access.log when you go to the install.php link23:21
joel___trevorj: Figured Ioncube was installed already. Like some sort of 'encryption', but not? Also, I'll check that out. It's more for the billing and server integration aspect23:21
joel___trevorj: Nothing. doesn't show a thing, as the file is there. It's just blank...23:21
trevorjjoel___: can you paste the single line that outputs in access.log?23:21
trevorjjoel___: access.log has to output something, it always does upon http connection23:21
joel___Mmm. One sec (was thinking error.log)23:21
joel___trevorj: 76.27.233.224 - - [26/Feb/2013:23:22:16 +0000] "GET /install.php HTTP/1.1" 200 293 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_2) AppleWebKit/536.26.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0.2 Safari/536.26.17"23:22
trevorjoh wow, it's a 200!23:22
trevorjyour script is not dying with an error23:22
trevorjyour script is showing you nothing with a success code23:22
trevorjthis is an application problem23:22
trevorjjoel___: yes, it requires ioncube23:23
trevorjjoel___: https://www.clientexec.com/members/index.php?fuse=files&view=FileList it says _ioncube.zip23:23
joel___trevorj: Awesome! That's really helpful trevor. I assumed I botched something in the vhost setup. I'll pay more attention to access log.23:23
joel___trevorj: aaah. K. I thought I had that enabled, but I'll double check.23:23
trevorjjoel___: make sure you enable it in the right place in /etc/php/, cli and apache2 have separate configs23:24
joel___trevorj: Mmm23:24
trevorjjoel___: ioncube comes with a php file to test it out23:24
trevorjjoel___: toss that in your webroot and try going to that23:25
trevorjjoel___: also, keep in mind you're running untrusted non open source code ;)23:25
trevorjjoel___: it may require a license, they seem to on their site, but who knows23:26
joel___trevorj: This is making sense. Yeah, they gave me a trial code. So there is some encrypted 'ion cube' stuff i with the php files.23:26
joel___trevorj: Yup - there it is. Ok.23:27
trevorjjoel___: yeah, ioncube instantly makes code undebuggable23:27
trevorjAnyone know where the most up to date cinder charms are for precise-folsom?23:30
trevorjoh weird, it found it this time, nevermind23:31
adam_gtrevorj, lp:charms/cinder should be.23:31
trevorjadam_g: yeah, it gave me a 404 the first time, my fault, thanks ;)23:31
adam_gah23:31
trevorjoh, nevermind, I was in the wrong terminal23:32
trevorjsigh23:32
trevorjHow does everyone here handle post-install configuration when using MaaS+Juju? I used to use scripts specified in the preseed, but is there any better way these days?23:42
trevorjI wrote some scripts to handle iLO configuration like setting server name to hostname, setting network in boot order, setting up standard user accounts, things like that23:43
trevorjIf there's a nice place to put such things in MaaS I'd be happy to submit it in23:44
trevorjI see commissioning-user-data would be a great place for alot of this, besides setting the server name to hostname23:45
sarnolddo you really care about servernames in the maas+juju lifestyle?23:46
trevorjyes, these are iLO server names23:46
trevorjotherwise it's a freaking guess as to which blade is which23:46
sarnoldhehe23:46
trevorjI have to look it up by mac address23:46
trevorjthere's more post install stuff I want to do as well, and I'm assuming the best place for that would be in the preseed23:48
trevorjI've been using salt for deployments in the past23:49
adam_gtrevorj, you can modify the base preseed that is used for all machines. not sure if there is a better way to do it23:49
trevorjadam_g: yeah, I've already done that, it's a tad finicky for my taste though ;)23:49
adam_gtrevorj, by post-install stuff, do you mean things that can be done post-first boot? or during initial provisioning?23:49
trevorjduring post-first boot23:49
trevorjer after23:49
trevorjIs cloud-init a good place for such things?23:50
sarnoldtrevorj: you may wish to also ask in #juju or #maas -- both are a bit more dedicated to the tools at hand23:50
trevorjgreat, ty23:50
trevorjsarnold: I didn't know such channels existed23:50
trevorjsarnold: much appreciated23:50
sarnoldtrevorj: woot :)23:50
adam_gtrevorj, cloud-init would be, but when using juju you have no ability to modify cloud-config that is sent to new nodes23:50
trevorjadam_g: right!23:50
trevorjadam_g: what I'd love to do is setup a salt minion upon first boot23:51
trevorjadam_g: as it seems juju is more meant for services and not deploying configurations23:52
trevorjadam_g: it just sems as if there may be (or should be) a better way to modify the cloud-config that juju sends23:52
adam_gtrevorj, is setting that up something that could be contained in a juju charm? i'm not familiar with the salt architecture.23:52
trevorjadam_g: you know, it could.23:52
trevorjadam_g: and that is what I was looking for, the revelation23:53
adam_gtrevorj, you may want to look at subordinate charms. you may be able to put together a subordinate charm that is deployed alongside the rest of your serivces, that takes care of hooking it up into your salt stack, and have it take care of the lower-level config bits that the principle service probably doesn't care about23:53
trevorjadam_g: wonderful23:54
adam_gtrevorj, theres been discussion about doing similar with subordinates that relate services to existing puppet or chef servers.23:54
tyson_trevorj: a quick question for you... what do I need to access my server from outside my "home" network?23:54
trevorjadam_g: I suppose I should start looking into how juju really works then!23:55
trevorjadam_g: thank you23:55
trevorjtyson_: port forward for ssh23:55
adam_gtrevorj, np23:55
trevorjadam_g: since you seem to know some intricate details on things like this, maybe you'll know an answer to this as well23:56
tyson_trevorj: do I have to do that on my router and modem?23:56
trevorjtyson_: router only probably, unless you are doing some nasty double natting23:56
trevorjadam_g: I had to disable avahi-daemon in my preseed because my internal domains are subdomains of locsol.local23:56
trevorjadam_g: ie, it ends in .local23:57
trevorjadam_g: since my dns domain is lan0.beast2.locsol.local, avahi takes it that it owns the entire .local root domain and returns NOTFOUND23:57
tyson_trevorj: nothing dodgy. I have fiber and it seem weird but I have a modem from BT on the wal connected to a router from Talk talk on it...23:58
trevorjadam_g: is there an existing way to get avahi to not manage subdomains of .local? I was thinking of patching avahi-daemon to have a blacklist-domain option for anything below a certain domain23:58
trevorjadam_g: that way .local would still be handled, just not anything below the blacklisted domain (in my case locsol.local)23:58
