[01:49] <keithzg> Why in the world won't Windows run .exe files from Samba shares if the shares are set to read-only? Is there some weird configuration issue here?
[01:50] <sarnold> keithzg: the user account in question would need read and execute permissions on those files and all needed dlls..
[01:51]  * keithzg smacks his head
[01:52] <keithzg> All this time, I could've sworn that setting the files to be executable was the FIRST thing I did, but nope, apparently not, and that solves it.
[01:52] <keithzg> sarnold: thanks :)
[01:53] <sarnold> keithzg: hehe :)
[03:43] <lenny__> hello I am having an issue with vsftpd. I have it setup to only allow local users to access the server. This works great and I can create directories in the users home folder however I am getting an error when trying to create a folder in my /var/www folder that says "550 create directory operation failed"
[03:53] <lenny__> was being an idiot thought I already gave users access to the folder du :/
[06:30] <fishcooker> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5692792/
[06:30] <fishcooker> why there is no that command
[06:30] <fishcooker> because i refer to this https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/installing-upgrading.html#do-release-upgrade

[09:05] <svbito> hello
[09:13] <svbito> whats the easiest way to install mysql-server 5.6 via puppet?
[09:14] <svbito> the official Oracle .deb does install in /opt and doesn't copy the init-script to /etc/init.d for example
[09:15] <jacobw> svbito: Either install the Oracle package and fix it or fix the package and install it
[09:17] <svbito> jacobw: "fixing" means unpacking, copying stuff to the right location and dpkg-deb --build?
[09:18] <svbito> good idea... I could put my custom stuff in a postinst
[09:19] <jacobw> svbito: The correct thing to do would be to build the package from source, or drop the source in the last source package from Ubuntu and try to build from source
[09:21] <jacobw> svbito: I unpacked last Ubuntu package, dropped in the binaries and fixed the breakages in the init scripts and mysqld_safe
[09:23] <svbito> just the new binaries needed?
[09:24] <svbito> I'll try that out...
[09:24] <jacobw> svbito: The Oracle binaries are built with different options (or the Ubutnu packages assumes the Oracle source is built with Debian specific options, more accurately)
[09:25] <jacobw> svbito: Things will break, the maintainer scripts, the init scripts and the Debian specific stuff like mysqld_safe all assume the binaries were build with the Debian specific options
[09:26] <jacobw> svbito: It's messy and not the right way to do it, but it worked for me
[09:27] <svbito> If mysql shows a "5.6.11" Version, I'm all happy :P
[09:27] <svbito> init script would be trivial to fix
[09:29] <svbito> jacobw: how much hassle would it be to build it from source?
[09:46] <Whir> hi...so I am on a local work machine here..I can easily mount directories from my home server via sshfs to here..my question, how can I disconnect/unmount them? fusermount needs root which I dont have here
[09:47] <Whir> and I dont want to have these @Transport endpoint is not connected@
[09:47] <Whir> allover
[09:55] <Whir> noone?
[09:56] <RoyK> sshfs should work well as a normal user account
[10:00] <basil__> hi I need top open port 9000 UDP on my server (Ubuntu 11.1). Could anyone offer advice pls
[10:04] <Whir> yep RoyK , but I can not close the connection, unmount the folder
[10:04] <Whir> so if the sshfs dies..I have a lot of not connected zombies
[10:17] <RoyK> Whir: perhaps the ssh session timed out because of nat
[10:17] <RoyK> Whir: if so, enable ssh keepalives - add 'ServerAliveInterval 5' to $HOME/.ssh/config on the client
[10:19] <Whir> ya that is true..but eventually I want to close it!
[12:01] <Cay> I'm trying to configure an internal network with 10 rackservers and a switch: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=p43spnkQ Any ideas anyone?
[12:04] <svbito> Is the cable really connected? ethtool can't seem to detect a link...
[12:21] <Cay> svbito, Yeah you are right. ethtool does not detect a link. According to my server host the cables are all connected.
[12:22] <Cay> Could it be some sort of driver error or missconfiguration causing this behavior?
[12:25] <svbito> Cay: your configuration looks good... drivers too
[12:26] <svbito> Cay: em1 and p4p1 connected to the same switch?
[12:26] <Cay> svbito, I'm pretty sure the internal network has it's own dedicated switch.
[12:27] <Cay> em1 should not be connected to that one.
[12:27] <svbito> Cay: and the switch is on? If you have this error with all servers, I would look at the switch
[12:33] <Cay> svbito, I'm glad you say the configuration and drivers look fine. Yeah looking at the switch would make sense I suppose.
[13:02] <svbito> how can I debug my postinst script? I think it does not run...
[13:09] <ScottK> zul: Can python-ceilometerclient be synced from Debian?
[13:10] <zul> ScottK:  no it should be on the blacklist i think
[13:10] <ScottK> Why?
[13:31] <zul> ScottK:  because we dont take the packaging for any of the openstack projects from debian
[13:32] <ScottK> Seems rather counter to normal Ubuntu policy.
[13:33] <zul> ScottK:  it is, debian is focusing on the stable version, we arent
[13:34] <ScottK> In this case though it's the same version.
[13:34] <zul> ScottK:  and they will diverge when a new cinderclient is out again because we are on a faster cadence
[14:25] <rbasak> Daviey: did you manage to look at the ubuntu-server ML moderation queue please? If not, can you take it as an action to get more moderators? I think Evan's email might have been stuck for a week now.
[14:27] <Daviey> rbasak: err, i accepted it
[14:27] <Daviey> a few days ago.
[14:27] <Daviey> rbasak: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2013-May/006614.html
[14:29] <rbasak> Daviey: ah. Sorry. It hasn't appeared in my MTA. I think my mail server dedups messages that also went to me privately :-(
[14:29] <rbasak> s/MTA/MUA/
[14:29] <Daviey> right
[14:30]  * rbasak finds that annoying, since he expects the message to appear in two places.
[14:31] <Daviey> rbasak: I had a multi-user mail server (odd configuration i know!), and that hid messages sent to more than one person.  Had to fix that!
[14:44] <lotia> is there a sysfs equivalent to /proc/filesystems, I want to list what filsystems are supported on a particular machine.
[14:44] <lotia> If anyone has a way to do it from python that would be even better.
[14:51] <rbasak> lotia: I'm not sure. But I wonder if whatever you do will be able to cover filesystems for which kernel modules are available but not loaded.
[15:09] <bugzc> hello
[16:37] <hallyn> zul: do you mind pushing debian-unstable spice + http://people.canonical.com/~serge/spice.debdiff to saucy?
[16:38] <zul> hallyn:  sure
[16:38] <hallyn> qemu 1.5 is just about ready (tests well, just need to retest when i get the qemu-linaro arm patches)
[16:38] <hallyn> zul: thanks
[16:42] <zul> hallyn:  the debdiff fails
[17:09] <LordOfTime> anyone have any idea how I go about diagnosing why I get 'ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer' once, then when I try and reconnect the remote system works?
[17:16] <hallyn> zul: fails what?
[17:16] <zul> hallyn:  fails to apply
[17:16] <hallyn> to debian unstable's spice?
[17:17]  * hallyn doublechecks
[17:17] <hallyn> i just generated it 2 misn before uploading it...
[17:19] <hallyn> zul: just re-tried, worked here...
[17:19] <hallyn> now what's weird is, the update-maintainer bit didn't get saved in the debdiff.
[17:22] <hallyn> zul: does http://people.canonical.com/~serge/spice2.debdiff work?  (against 'pull-debian-source spice' result)
[17:22] <zul> hallyn:  lemme check
[17:35] <zul> hallyn:  use me abuse me with a pipe, done
[17:38] <hallyn> zul: thanks :)
[17:39] <zul> np
[17:39] <hallyn> really oughta ask for spice and spice-protocol to go into the server set
[17:52] <hXm> I like justin bieber
[17:54] <Raimonds> Hi. Might anyone know what I am doing wrong, because when I try to run ubuntu from my USB I get unable to find a medium containing a live file system. Might it be something with that I have USB 3.0, i just read on forums that it can not read MD5sum, but as the post was pretty old, it might not be the case. http://i.imgur.com/OwxOHD3.jpg
[17:54] <Raimonds> I am using universal USB installer.
[17:54] <Raimonds> and my goal is to make ubuntu bootable from USB, so I can use it.
[17:55] <sarnold> Raimonds: you may have better luck in #ubuntu, this channel is more about server-software development..
[17:56] <tash> am trying to send a test snmptrap to my Ubuntu server and see this in the snmptrapd logs: No access configuration - dropping trap.
[17:56] <tash> Any advice?
[17:56] <tash> I have searched online and have tried some suggestions, but still having issues.
[17:57] <Raimonds> sarnold: Ok, thanks [:
[17:57] <sarnold> Raimonds: good luck :)
[17:57] <LordOfTime> anyone have any idea how I go about diagnosing why I get 'ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer' once, then when I try and reconnect the remote system works?
[17:57] <sarnold> tash: do you need to define community strings? or allowed / denied source addresses?
[17:58] <tash> sarnold: well, I'm not entirely sure. I have defined rocummunity <ourstring>
[17:58] <tash> I even tried authCommunity log,execute,net <ourstring>
[18:07] <tash> nvm
[18:07] <tash> think I was just modifying the wrong config file
[18:15] <mojtaba> Hi, I used fusedav to mount webdav, but I got this error message: "PROPFIND failed: Could not read status line: Connection reset by peer" Does anybody know what should I do?
[18:15] <sarnold> mojtaba: is the webdav server on the other side of a NAT firewall/router?
[18:16] <mojtaba> sarnold: Actually it is on a hosting company (Bluehost)
[18:16] <sarnold> mojtaba: do you have one between your client and the internet?
[18:17] <sarnold> mojtaba: most NAT firewalls have fairly short inactivity timeouts when they reap sessions..
[18:17] <mojtaba> sarnold: I guess I do, because I am in university.
[18:17] <sarnold> mojtaba: can you increase the timeout on idle connection?
[18:17] <mojtaba> sarnold: how should I do that?
[18:17] <sarnold> mojtaba: depends on the firewall..
[18:18] <sarnold> .. but if you're asking, it seems unlikely to be something you have control over? :)
[18:18] <sarnold> maybe you could write a simple program to write a new file every minute or so. and next minute delete the file.
[18:19] <mojtaba> Is this command ok? fusedav -t 60-u username -p password http://www.website.com ~/webdavBluehost/
[18:20] <mojtaba> sarnold: Is this command ok? fusedav -t 60-u username -p password http://www.website.com ~/webdavBluehost/
[18:20] <shauno> you'll want a space after '60'.  pedantic, but so's fusedav
[18:21] <sarnold> thanks shauno :)
[18:21] <mojtaba> sarnold: still I got the same error
[18:22] <sarnold> mojtaba: oh, it happens very immediately?
[18:22] <mojtaba> sarnold: Yes
[18:22] <sarnold> ahhhh.
[18:22] <sarnold> mojtaba: can you navigate to that URL in a browser?
[18:23] <mojtaba> sarnold: sure, it is my website
[18:23] <mojtaba> :)
[18:23] <sarnold> mojtaba: you might need to break out tcpdump or wireshark to find out what's going on. I'm out of ideas, sorry for the initial distraction :)
[18:24] <mojtaba> It has a port number, and when I add that port number to the browser it says the connection was reset
[18:24] <sarnold> oh! yay.
[18:24] <mojtaba> !!!, but I can have access to the files with this port number via nautilus
[18:25] <sarnold> really?
[18:25] <mojtaba> I did not wrote that!
[18:26] <mojtaba> sarnold: Do you know what is going on? why I can have access to my root directory via nautilus but with that address and port number I just got the error "connection was reset" !
[18:27] <sarnold> mojtaba: I don't know. normally testing with another program is the place to start :) hehe
[18:27] <mojtaba> sarnold: Do you know any other program? I just want to have access to that directory via commnad line.
[18:29] <sarnold> mojtaba: I think any webbrowser ought to have read-only access easily enough.. firefox, chrome-browser, w3m, links, lynx, curl, wget... in addition to the more usual approaches of fusedav or gvfs-based access...
[18:29] <hallyn> 1619 root      20   0  4440  316  136 R  99.9  0.0  75:15.66 S20postfix
[18:29] <hallyn> ?
[18:30] <sarnold> o_O
[18:36] <RoyK> hallyn: try a tail -f /var/log/mail.log
[18:36] <RoyK> perhaps something venomous
[18:37] <sarnold> .. but the init start script?
[18:37] <hallyn> RoyK: for nwo it's shut down, cooling down.  will look later
[18:37] <hallyn> yeah
[18:38] <RoyK> if postfix uses that lot of cpu, seems like an infection from something
[20:35] <adam_g> Daviey,  cherry-picked updated SSL certs to fix FTBFS. ready for upload to folsom staging http://people.canonical.com/~agandelman/ca/folsom/2012.2.4_rebase/keystone_2012.2.4-0ubuntu2~cloud1/

[22:10] <josetacos>  using the mini installer everything worked execpt it could not install grub got this error how do i install only grub using the mini installer
[22:10] <josetacos> "unable to install grub in /dev/sda"
[22:11] <sarnold> mmm tacos
[22:11] <sarnold> josetacos: was /dev/sda the correct device? ISTR someone in the last day commplaining that an installer picked the wrong disk for installing grub
[22:12] <josetacos> only have one hard drive in it
[22:13] <paranoids> josetacos: is the hdd bigger than 2tb?
[22:13] <josetacos> no 600gigs
[22:14] <josetacos> during the install i choosed to use the whole drive
[22:16] <paranoids> josetacos: did you create a new partition table with the installer? have you tried to dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda (erase your disk) before starting the installer?
[22:17] <josetacos> i had delete all partitions through gparted before the install
[22:17] <paranoids> josetacos: strange, I've installed 100reds of systems with mini.iso
[22:19] <paranoids> josetacos: when you are in the ubuntu installer have you checked the syslogs (more /var/log/syslog)
[22:21] <josetacos> there was a option i forget what it was that was first but i choose to use the whole disk during the install
[22:22] <paranoids> I've never used the whole disk option... everytime installed via manual partitioning
[22:30] <josetacos> how should i have it manually setup
