hallynsarnold: scalability-junk: iiuc you want to be able to preseed a virt-install install?  if so the key there is to manipulate the iso ahead of time to add the preseed file01:24
hallynyou can look at lp:ubuntu-qa-tools vm-tools/vm-new for an example01:25
scalability-junkhallyn: yeah I wanted to do something like with the vmbuilder -> no setup -> boot.sh sort of thing01:26
scalability-junkI dislike the preseed file so (worked with it and it's just bad) :D01:27
hallynheh01:27
hallynyeah it doesn't usually treat me too well01:27
scalability-junksyntax is nothing to like01:28
scalability-junkbut back to virt-install is there a way to not go through the install, but have a ready vm ? like with vmbuilder?01:28
scalability-junkor is that only possible with a premade .img which is used then?01:28
hallynno the install is how it works01:28
hallynwould cloud images be useful to you?01:29
hallynyou can wget them, qemu-nbd+mount to modify them as needed, then clone themwhen you need...01:29
scalability-junkyeah but working on implementing openstack on a few boxes anyway, but being able to do it with other tools should be great01:30

cariboupeople, I'm back at investigating Bug #106684509:05
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 1066845 in nova "nova-novncproxy is not running; Suggest: novnc should be Depends" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/106684509:05
caribouit's marked as fixed in Raring, but I still see novnc being a Suggest: rather than a Depends: on Raring. Am I missing something ?09:05
jamespagerbasak, thanks for testing that09:12
jamespagecaribou, lemme take a look09:12
rbasakmorning jamespage!09:12
rbasakNo problem09:12
rbasakjamespage: could you please mark bug 1156223 as release critical? I don't want to forget about it. Getting some dupes.09:14
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 1156223 in postfix "postinst fails due to missing main.cf" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/115622309:14
jamespagerbasak, I raised a raring task - it will appear on the bug tracking report now09:16
rbasakthanks!09:16
jamespagecaribou, hmm- no I see it as suggests still as well09:19
cariboujamespage: ok, then I'm not crazy.09:19
jamespagecaribou, the problem is that neither websockify or novnc are in main09:19
jamespagecaribou, so if we switch to recommends they have to be promoted09:20
cariboujamespage: oh, I see I didn't think about that09:20
cariboujamespage: one workaround is to use --install-suggests09:20
jamespagecaribou, yeah09:21
cariboujamespage: ok, I'll see what I can do, thanks for checking09:21
jamespageits less than ideal - the package should just work when installed09:21
jamespagecaribou, I don't think we can fix this for released versions of ubuntu09:21
cariboujamespage: and I guess it's a bit too late to MIR novnc now09:22
jamespagecaribou, I was just looking at that09:22
jamespageyolanda, I'm looking that that raring/openstack/juju bootstrap issue again09:35
jamespageit would appear that none of the runcmd section of the cloud-config actually gets run.09:36
jamespageyolanda, hmm - but if I delete all of the instance data in /var/lib/cloud/instances/* and reboot, it does the right things09:40
jamespagehow odd09:40
jpdsjamespage: I thought bits of the cloud-archive depended on universe packages?09:43
cariboujamespage: are all the openstack dependancies need to be in main ?09:44
jamespagejpds, not that I am aware of09:44
sanderj_Do anyone know what's the benefit of having raid 60 compeard to raid 55 ?09:44
jamespagecaribou, for any of the current core openstack projects, yes09:44
jamespagecaribou, actually ignore me09:45
yolandajamespage, quite strange09:45
yolandadoes it happen with all raring images?09:45
jamespagecaribou, nova-novncproxy is in universe so there is no reason those suggests can be promoted to depends09:45
cariboujamespage: How could I ever ;-)09:45
jamespagelemme do that now09:46
cariboujamespage: good, that'll fix Bug #1076442 as well09:49
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 1076442 in nova "nova-novncproxy has a missing dep on websockify" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/107644209:49
thyrantHey, I need a solution where my server handles user files. The students have laptops available which they use to login and they recive files and folders related to the user. When they logout it is saved to the server. What is this called?09:53
jamespageyolanda, if you would be so kind - https://code.launchpad.net/~james-page/nova/fixup-novncproxy-depends/+merge/15489409:55
jamespagejpds, I stand corrected09:57
jamespagejpds, some universe packages are in the cloud-archive09:57
jamespagebut we maintain the same rules about main->universe depends09:57
jamespagei.e. anything from universe in the CA won't get the same level of security support as stuff in main for example09:57
cariboujamespage: thanks for that. Do you want me to do the SRU for Precise ?10:03
jamespagecaribou, that would be helpful - yes please10:03
jamespagehey pcarrier!10:03
cariboujamespage: ok, will do10:03
cariboujamespage: my only question is how SRU to the U.C.A are handled ? same as for regular packages ?10:04
jamespagecaribou, just do the one in quantal - we have a process that detects updates for the uca and lets us know10:04
jamespageits largely automated10:04
cariboujamespage: ok10:05
cariboujamespage: pls, can you add a Quantal task on the bug, I don't have the rights for that10:05
jamespagecaribou, already has one!10:06
cariboujamespage: ah, sorry didn't check10:06
cariboujamespage: I'm puzzled; which branch should I use for the Quantal SRU ?10:10
cariboujamespage: lp:~openstack-ubuntu-testing/nova/quantal-folsom-proposed ?10:10
jamespagecaribou, oh-gods - there is an out-of-date SRU inflight10:10

jamespageit got superceeded by an security sru10:11

Davieyjamespage: splendid11:53
jamespageDaviey, hmm - although I see adam already did something in the ci branches11:53
jamespageDaviey, but I think for security updates when we have an inflight proposed branch we should keep going with the existing proposed11:54
jamespagerather than cut a new 2012.2.3+stableXXX release11:54
Davieyjamespage: hmm, it's just as easy to cut a new release?11:58
Davieyjamespage: why not go for the latest ?11:59
jamespageDaviey, well we are either tracking point releases or not12:00
jamespageI'd rather stick with the point release and include security fixes12:00

jamespageyolanda, can you make sure that you have up-to-date charm16:01
george1how do i as a question?16:01
jamespageyolanda, the code looks ok to me - it does a grep for the codename in the ppa uri16:01
george1did i print that !ask | george! ?16:01
jamespagezul, +116:02
jamespagegeorge1, just ask it16:03
george1what is the meaning of the "!" mark in front of ask and of patience?16:04
jamespagegeorge1, it instructs ubottu to do something16:04
george1where do i learn about ubottu?16:04

LargePrimehello.  I would like to add a few SSH users to my ubuntu server.  best practice advice please?16:14
LargePrimesorry for typo16:14
jamespagezul, can I be a real PITA - its actuall a new upstream release for the CA16:15
george1LargePrime: check /home/* permissions16:16
zuljamespage:  grr16:16
zuljamespage:  annnnnnd now16:17
jamespagezul, +116:17
jamespageI'm assuming it has built OK in raring right?16:17
jamespagezul ^^16:17
zuljamespage:  yep16:18
LargePrimegeorge1:  I am looking for a way to generate the /home .ssh dir and set permissions or several users at a time16:18
LargePrimegeorge1:  I am looking for a way to generate the /home .ssh dir and set permissions for several users at a time16:18
LargePrimesorry16:18
LargePrimealso adding the SSH keys to the authorized keys would be cool too16:19
george1that comes from the client16:20
zuljamespage: yep16:20
jamespageLargePrime, check out ssh-import-id16:20
jamespagemight help16:20
RoyKLargePrime: make it in /etc/skel ?16:20
jamespage(well so long as SSH public keys are stored in launchpad - but I think you can make it use an arbitary host)16:20
LargePrimegeorge1: I assume a admin can generate keys an send to clients16:21
LargePrimeRoyK:  jamespage  checking that out.  i am a noob at this16:21
jamespageLargePrime, users should generate their own keys16:21
RoyKLargePrime: everyone starts out as noobs ;)16:21
george1jamespage: probably you can send users a script doing that, but I'm a beginner, too16:23
RoyKgeorge1: better tell the users how to do it - that way they may even learn something ;)16:23
LargePrimejames, why should users generate thier own keys?16:23
RoyKLargePrime: because you normally want to set a password on that key16:24
LargePrimebesides altruistic learning?16:24
RoyK(or some might want to do that)16:24
george1LargePrime: sorry, last message was for you not for jamespage. because it is a security issue. private key should be private, and how can you keep it private if you generate it on other systems and then you send it to the user over some network?16:25
LargePrimei imagine we should assume other secured networks/systems can exist.16:26
george1LargePrime: come on, they should generate their keys just as they should choose their passords16:27
LargePrimeok, i defer to you.  Also it seems no good tool to do it my way.16:28

george1LargePrime: as I said, I'm a beginner, but I would useradd a user and then i would check itd default groups, and if they need more then i would add them16:30
jamespagezul, 24 mins to build glance - thats better than 25 hours16:30
george1!ubottu help16:31
LargePrimeOne of my desires was to eliminate assword logins16:32
LargePrimepassword* sorry16:32
LargePrimeand just bulk create keys and set them up16:32
LargePrimebut that seems rather diicult16:32
LargePrimedifficult*16:33
george1LargePrime: for that you let them login with a password, then they generate the key and copy its public part to the server, and then you modify the sshd_config to block password usage16:33
george1LargePrime: if you create a large number of keys you need to put them into those systems somehow, so either a connection or going there physically. connection is already done with password from client to server16:34
george1!ubottu help commands16:34
ubottugeorge1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)16:34
LargePrimegeorge1: yes.  understood.  but that seems rather manual and I would need to turn it of and on as i add users and as they get around to doing the taks16:35
yolandajamespage, i have up-to-date charms, i pulled them today16:35
george1LargePrime: it should be possible to turn off passwd login for each user as they generate their keys16:36
LargePrimegeorge1:  with some sort o script?16:36
yolandai'm testing with the origin you told me16:36
george1LargePrime: maybe from that script ..., using local configs16:36
jamespageyolanda, hmm - I just deployed using that origin and it worked fine16:36

george1LargePrime: or even from the client, in the same script, modify its user .ssh settings, if that is possible. could be less secure? :-?16:39
yolandai'm trying again16:40
george1very well, i found out alone how does ubottu work. now, the big question, maybe i don't have to answer it alone, too: can i contribute to some ubuntu server utility, provided that i know C++ and i am running another linux distribution but i may also run ubuntu server text mode only on a 500MHz 225MB RAM system? can you please suggest such an application or at least tell me where to look?16:41
LargePrimeI dont have a good handle on the security model.  I assume local configs might not be user configable?  But either way there exists no tool for doing this i guess16:41
george1LargePrime: i can't find any way to config passwd usage per user16:44
george1LargePrime: this is bad16:44
LargePrimegeorge1: maybe there is an irc channel for ubuntu server questions like this.16:46
LargePrime</irony>16:46
gdeebleAnyone know if using Serial 2 Network is it possible to push the host serial port to the client via telnet using Ser2net?16:47
LargePrimegeorge1: did you look at this http://www.chrisjohnston.org/ubuntu/ssh-import-id-saves-time-and-hastle16:48
george1LargePrime: man ssh_config speask about ~/.ssh/config and there you can set this. however, it is not clear if the file lives on the client or on the server16:48
LargePrimethat older and those files DNE by default16:49
george1LargePrime: yes, it looks great16:50
LargePrimegeorge1: those DNE by default.  they are generated by any of the SSH tools16:50
LargePrimesorry my fingers have been drinking16:50
george1LargePrime: of course, all users still need to generate their keys and post them (the public part) on launchpad16:50
george1LargePrime: ha?16:50
sarnoldgeorge1: ~/.ssh/config is a client-side configuration file16:51
LargePrimealso in the sever home dir16:51
LargePrimeit cant be client side.  it controls how the server responds?  sarnold ?16:52
yolandajamespage, i'm testing, same problem16:53
sarnoldLargePrime: eh? how?16:53
yolandalet me check if i have latest revisions, maybe there is some cache?16:53
george1sarnold: yes, it is absurd to deny passwd login with a config on the server side. so, LargePrime, write a script that works on the client side and blocks passwd login there. of course, clients can change that if they want. otherwise, you can only block them all from using passwords16:53
george1!es | george16:54
ubottugeorge: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro.16:54
sarnoldgeorge1: what? that's the whole point of the PasswordAuthentication sshd configuration variable.16:54
george1everybody: so, can you help me with any suggestion about any program that i could help develop in text mode on a weak system for ubuntu server?16:55
yolandajamespage, in deployer directory i have revision 240, but it tries to publish revision 24016:55
yolandahow can i remove that caching?16:55
yolandait tries to publish revision 212, sorry16:55
george1sarnold: that one block all users from using passwd's, i believe. am i wrong?16:55
LargePrimesarnold: george1  why is it absurd to control who can and cannot have password login server side?16:55
LargePrimeit seems we have at least one use case?16:56
george1LargePrime: because when ssh reads that file it is already connected16:56
sarnoldgeorge1: if you use a "Match" block you can apply it to certain groups or users or whatever.16:56
george1sarnold: yes, thank you for that! LargePrime you can block individual users from logging in with a root script that verifies that a user has generated his key and then it ads it to sshd_config16:58
jamespageyolanda, hmm16:59
LargePrimegeorge1:  can this be an application you wish to create?16:59
yolandai see a -u option in deployer16:59
jamespageyolanda, deployer -S scrubs zookeeper of charms16:59
george1everybody: very well, it appears that i have no chance for an advice here for a program in C++ to which I could contribute16:59
jamespageI always do a -S -D -T when tearing down17:00
george1LargePrime: that would be a script in bash17:00
jamespagegeorge1, sorry - other than c++ do you have any specific areas of interest17:00
sarnoldgeorge1: there's just not that many C++ programs with a non-graphical but graphical interface....17:00
sarnoldgeorge1: iirc, apt is done in C++...17:00
jamespageand ceph, mongodb17:01
george1jamespage: i know many, but nothing special. please tell me what is in demand right now, first two or three choices17:01
george1sarnold: so there are C++ programs WITH graphical interfaces? i may upgrade my system for Ubuntu, if that is the case17:02
jamespagegeorge1, well; specifically in Ubuntu not much tbh - if you want to do something C++ related I would recommend getting involved in a specific project thats written in C++17:02
gazoomboutlemming: Hi, I'm trying to track down info about the tools used to build the Vagrant boxes released with the cloud images.17:02
gazoomboutlemming: I tried first in #ubuntu-virt and soren directed me here.17:03
george1jamespage: so I should go upstream, right? what language are you using now to program?17:03
koolhead17hi all17:03
sarnoldgeorge1: iirc, nearly the entirety of the KDE stack is programmed in C++17:03
utlemminggazoombo: tools?17:03
jamespagegeorge1, as a distro developer not just one17:03
gazoomboutlemming: yes, what does the release process look like for those boxes?17:03
george1sarnold: so there is demand in programming graphic support in C++? it makes sense, for efficiency17:03
jamespagegeorge1, I touch Java, C, C++, Python, Go but only really from a bugfixing perspective17:04
jamespage(actually Go is streching that a bit)17:04
george1jamespage: but you need ALL of them, is that the problem?17:04
gazoomboutlemming: I found vmbuilder, but it looks like that only targets xen kvm vmw6 and vmserver as hypervisors17:04
sarnoldgeorge1: yeah, C++ feels like a reasonable sweet spot there, C-levels of efficiency are _possible_ but some nice high-level abstractions can come for free.17:04
utlemminggazoombo: well, they are still in beta, so those are dailies only.17:05
utlemminggazoombo: I'm OTP at the moment...can I pick this up in a bit?17:05
gazoomboutlemming: whereas the Vagrant boxes run on virtualbox17:05
gazoomboutlemming: no problem17:05

LargePrimeany suggestions o a server load measuring tool?17:08
LargePrimeload management really17:08
sarnoldLargePrime: like 'vmstat 1' and 'top'? or .. like collectd or mrtg or nagios or .. ?17:09
LargePrimesarnold:  pretend I am a noob17:10
sarnoldLargePrime: hehe, okay, go run 'vmstat 1' in a terminal and look at the block input and output, swap input and output, rates.. those are pretty useful :)17:10
LargePrimethe server told me it is at load 4.  never seen it over 1.517:11
LargePrimeit still at 417:14
LargePrimesarnold:  how can i tell what is using the server?17:14
sarnoldLargePrime: that might not mean much. 'top' or 'htop' will make it easy to see the processes running and which ones have the CPU occupied17:14
LargePrimehow can i tell if i am getting ddosed?17:15
sarnoldLargePrime: depends on the type of dos, stpuid packet floods would show up in ifconfig as huge packet rates17:16
sarnoldLargePrime: some dos attacks induce huge computing problems in servers, those are harder to spot..17:17
LargePrimeassuming stupid.  how i ifconfig?  with ifconfig?17:18
zuljamespage:  yay!17:18
sarnoldLargePrime: just type 'ifconfig' at a prompt, wait a little bit, run 'ifconfig' again, and check the difference in packet counts17:18
