keithzgSo how does one clear that "New release '13.04' available." notification on a server? I vaguely remember doing so many releases ago, but once again I find myself with many different servers, all upgraded, that are nonetheless informing me they need to be upgraded ;)00:20
qman__there isn't anything to clear, but what you may be getting at is the difference between standard and LTS releases00:35
qman__you can configure which release schedule you want to use00:36
qman__or, alternatively, you can upgrade using 'do-release-upgrade'00:36
codepython777when one uses useradd to create a new user, what is the default password?02:38
qman__there is none03:10
codepython777thanks03:11
qman__the "easy" and defaulted/set up way to add users is with adduser03:11
qman__useradd works but it doesn't do anything for you, you have to specify all options03:11
tohuwWhat is the correct syntax to copy files from a source to a destination, assuming I want all directories and their contents, and if a file in the destination matches the source version, skip it? rsync -av SOURCE DESTINATION?03:33
=== himcesjf_ is now known as himcesjf
tohuwI ask because archive mode reads in the manpage like what I want, but it seems to behave differently; it is apparently re-transferring files I know to be the same (including the path) in the destination.03:34
qman__tohuw, that is the function of the -a switch; if the files are being retransferred, they don't match03:56
qman__you may also want the -H switch, as it reconstructs hard links at the destination, -a does not03:56
tohuwqman__: Thank you. I was able to figure out the mismatch. You were right, of course; they didn't match.03:58

adam_gjdstrand, ping18:24
jdstrandadam_g: hey18:24
adam_gjdstrand, re https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1177830, upstream's patch that you correctly applied to the quantal/folsom package may have introduced a bad regression.18:27
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 1177830 in nova/grizzly "[OSSA 2013-012] Unchecked qcow2 root disk sizes" [Critical,Fix committed]18:27
adam_gjdstrand, https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/118360618:28
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 1183606 in nova/folsom "qcow image support broken in stable/folsom nova compute" [Critical,Fix committed]18:28
adam_gjdstrand, confirming that it affects the quantal package. i hit it now trying to verify our SRU that was rebased to include that fix18:28
adam_g(that fix == the security update)18:28
jdstrandadam_g: ack, so you are asking that I apply this patch for -security and you'll apply it for your SRU?18:30
adam_gjdstrand, not sure how this would be handled. if you are able to repair the regression via quickly -security, i can rebase our SRU to include the additional fix18:31
jdstrandI can do that18:31
jdstranddoes it only affect 12.10?18:31
adam_gjdstrand, yes, i believe the regression only hit 12.10 (folsom)18:33
jdstrandadam_g: I backported this patch to 12.04, has anyone tried it there? what are the exact steps to reproduce?18:34
adam_gjdstrand, i just manually tested that patch against a regressed cluster and confirmed the fix18:34
jdstrandadam_g: sure, is there someway I can test it? what about 12.04?18:34
adam_gchecking essex now, one moment18:35
adam_gyou can test by simply trying to spawn an instance.18:35
jdstrandthat seems odd18:35
jdstrandthat was something I tested18:35
adam_gthe check of qcow image size happens too early18:35
adam_gfor images that have not already been cached local on the compute node18:35
jdstrandwell, I can visually inspect the patch for nova18:36
jdstrandprecise that is18:36
adam_gjdstrand, the bug will go unnoticed if the image has already been booted on the compute node18:36
jdstrandright, I thought I tested for that, anyhoo18:37
jdstrandI can push these out18:37
jdstrandadam_g: I'd appreciate if you could check if essex is affected though18:37
adam_gjdstrand, checking now18:38
jdstrandadam_g: actually, I think it is not affected18:38
adam_gjdstrand, 13.04 should be okay too, i've already verified our SRU that was rebased /w that qcow image size patch18:39
jdstrandadam_g: I remember now. when writing my patch, I noticed the behavior you described18:39
jdstrandessex doesn't have prepare_template18:39
adam_gnop[e18:39
jdstrandso I did this:18:39
jdstrandif os.path.exists(cow_base) and size < disk.get_image_virtual_size(cow_base):18:40
jdstrand12.04 should be fine18:40
jdstrand12.10 I probably just had a cached image and didn't think to remove it18:40
adam_gya. grizzly/13.04 calls prepare_template() appropriately.  looks like quantal / folsom is the only affected18:40
jdstrandadam_g: I'll get that out today18:41
adam_gjdstrand, thanks a bunch18:41
jdstrandadam_g: np, thanks for letting me know and sorry about the regression18:42

irvhow can i allow php applications to use mail() on ubuntu server 13.0419:46
irvdefault LAMP setup19:46
sarnoldirv: iirc, there's two ways, a pear-contraption that does smtp itself, and installing a local smtp server (e.g. postfix or exim)19:53
irvsarnold: the box is only hosting our sites, and it's only 1 or 2 of them that will be needing to send mail20:04
irvso probably a local smtp is fine, but what's the best lightweight one?20:04
irvonly used for sending the mail for that one site or whatever20:04
greppyirv: if all it has to do is send out mail, pretty much any of them will work.  Pick the one that you know the most about or that your team knows the best.  If it is my choice it is almost ALWAYS postfix :)20:05
