[00:21] <CaptainShiner> Can anybody recommend a fast/stable RDP client for Ubuntu?
[00:26] <sarnold> CaptainShiner: 'remmina' is in main, that's gotta count for something, but there's a handful of questions like this at askubuntu.com, so perhaps it isn't best for everything :)  http://askubuntu.com/questions/148159/remmina-remoteapp-over-rdp
[00:31] <CaptainShiner> Thanks for your help sarnold
[00:32] <CaptainShiner> I did try it, wasn't impressed with performance. I'm forcing myself to use ONLY  Ubuntu to become more familiar, but I still have to connect to some Windows VM's and whatnot
[00:32] <CaptainShiner> I'll live though. Isn't 'unuseable', just not as buttery smooth as the native RDP in Windows.
[00:35] <keithzg> CaptainShiner: Personally I quite like KRDC, but then again, I run KDE :)
[00:47]  * keithzg may be biased...never entirely like GNOME-style apps. Of course, the upside of Linux is that you can run whatever app you want in whatever desktop environment you want, and the worst that's likely to happen is it might look a bit ugly ;)

[01:44] <cheese1756> How to I run the btsync Ubuntu server package as a non-root user?
[01:45] <sarnold> I can't find any information about btsync in any supported ubuntu distribution..
[01:46] <cheese1756> The packages are only unofficial for now
[01:49] <sarnold> cheese1756: you'd need to set the listening port to something above 1024
[01:50] <sarnold> cheese1756: and store the pidfile someplace you have write privileges
[01:50] <cheese1756> sarnold, Ah, thank you
[01:50] <sarnold> reminds me a bit of tahoe-lafs .. wonder how well it'll work out
[01:54] <Senor> How can i install vedio card for ubuntu-server version 12.04
[01:55] <Senor> How can i install vedio card driver for ubuntu-server version 12.04
[02:05] <PryMar56> Senor, my ubuntu-server uses uvesafb
[02:09] <Senor> uvesafb?
[02:11] <Senor> PryMar56: I need dowload uvesafb from somewhere ,then install it ?
[02:12] <Senor> PryMar56:Is it for text command line mode?
[02:12] <PryMar56> yes
[02:12] <PryMar56> Senor, install ubuntu-server, then run tasksel and choose one of the desktops
[02:12] <PryMar56> if you want a full GUI
[02:14] <PryMar56> Senor, ubuntu-server runs very sweet and stable in text mode with 300-500 packages
[02:19] <Senor> I do not want a GUI,just command line is ok
[02:50] <Senor> PryMar56:Is there manual for that?
[02:51] <PryMar56> Senor, did you start with the ISO called ubuntu-server? its a very easy install
[02:51] <PryMar56> I think I put `text` on my grub cmdline
[02:52] <PryMar56> yea, `cat /proc/cmdline ` shows that
[02:54] <Senor> PryMar56:yes,I have installed it use ubuntu-server iso
[02:55] <Senor> PryMar56:If I only need command mode ,no gui, need I install driver for vedio card ?
[02:56] <PryMar56> Senor, no driver needed.. it will use a frame buffer driver which is provided
[02:56] <Senor> PryMar56: well
[02:56] <PryMar56> /lib/modules/3.0.0-17-server/kernel/drivers/video/uvesafb.ko
[02:57] <sarnold> Senor: try adding vga=ask to your kernel command line, if the framebuffer stuff doesn't work
[02:57] <Senor> PryMar56 : the problem is my command line is in disorder ,not regular
[03:04] <Senor> sarnold:it just put the command line at the middle of one line?
[03:04] <sarnold> Senor: somewhere in the kernel command line where it cannot be mis-parsed.. middle, beginning, end, whatever :)
[03:04] <sarnold> just be careful where you put..
[03:15] <Senor> I mean the shell command line ,not kenel boot command line
[03:31] <zipper> I suppose this is less of an Ubuntu-specific question, but it couldn't hurt to ask if someone here knows. If I have a dial-out modem on my computer, would it be possible, in theory, to use it to extract caller-ID data from my home phone line?
[03:33] <xlaire> hello
[03:33] <xlaire> is ubuntu server can be installed on usb?
[03:35] <zipper> Yes, but it might require some tinkering if your computer's BIOS doesn't support booting from a USB device
[03:35] <xlaire> it does support
[03:35] <xlaire> ty for answering my question
[03:36] <Senor> continue with my topic
[03:38] <zipper> xlaire: A quick search on Google will bring up some guides on how to "burn" an .iso file to a flash drive
[03:39] <xlaire> no install the OS ubuntu server on USB instead on a hard drive
[03:40] <zipper> Oh, I see
[03:40] <zipper> Just a moment, I'll find a link for you
[03:40] <xlaire> nice
[03:42] <zipper> xlaire: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-installing-ubuntu-linux-on-a-usb-pendrive/
[03:44] <xlaire> ty
[03:45] <zipper> Not a problem
[03:45] <xlaire> how come to find this and i didnt find
[03:45] <xlaire> lol again ty
[03:49] <zipper> I can find things on Google better than most
[03:51] <Senor> why it  now prompt at the middle of one line?
[03:51] <Senor> like this :                                              localhost~:

[10:03] <bicyus> ;-) hello hello!
[10:12] <hackeron> hey, I have this in my /etc/init/myserver.conf file < http://pastie.org/8009349 - but for some reason, when I run service myserver stop it says stopped but the puma process remains running. Any ideas?
[10:30] <rbasak> jamespag`: I've filed bug 1187722.
[10:31] <jamespag`> rbasak, thanks for investigating that issue
[10:31] <jamespag`> had me stumped
[11:32] <Senor> my wireless nic is not lighting ,is this due to no driver found for it?
[11:33] <rbasak> I'm not sure server people will really be able to help you with wireless NICs. Try #ubuntu?
[12:20] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[12:50] <yolanda> zul, we are having a problem with ceilometer and kombu, our kombu version is updated, and makes ceilometer crash, should we refresh the kombu package?
[12:50] <zul> yolanda:  whats the problem first?
[12:50] <yolanda> zul, take a look at openstack-metering, conversation there
[12:52] <zul> yolanda:  er...ok ill have a look
[12:52] <yolanda> great
[12:52] <yolanda> i did a fix also for connection, they changed the database parameter in config
[12:53] <zul> k
[13:48] <bicyus> guys, have MAAS server on 13.04 and 5 nodes ready to be deployed with 12.04.
[13:48] <bicyus> if i want to use Ubuntu Cloud Archive on these nodes, do i need to ssh in and add the repository manualy?
[13:52] <zul> bicyus:  yes for now
[13:53] <bicyus> ok
[13:55] <bicyus> i thought maybe it was done with  "source: 'cloud:precise-updates/grizzly'" on juju openstack.conf
[13:55] <bicyus> thanks zul ;-)
[13:59] <Psi|4ward> anyone have apache 2.4 running on 13.04?

[15:06] <hXm> hi
[15:06] <hXm> after a apt-get upgrade it says i should reboot
[15:06] <hXm> what can happen if i dont?
[15:07] <Pici> hXm: You normally see that after a kernel upgrade. If you don't reboot you'll just be running on the older kernel.
[15:07] <hXm> else updated packages will be run up to date?
[15:08] <Pici> Yes.
[15:08] <hXm> ah, i have fear of reboot
[15:09] <hXm> is a dedicated server and not sure if it will run again
[15:09] <hXm> self paranoia
[15:09] <Pici> Thats a lot of paranoia.
[15:11] <hXm> haha yes :)
[15:19]  * genii ponders ksplice
[15:25] <RoyK> hXm: if glibc is updated, it should be rebooted as well. see /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs
[16:19] <mgriffin> did someone see sinnernyx asking about unattended install of mysql-server-5.5 packages? the problem was he didn't set DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
[16:21] <jamespag`> smoser, are you aware of any odd issues with cloud-config not running on raring?
[16:22] <jamespag`> I've just seen it happen on 5 nodes out of 6
[16:22] <jamespag`> all big hardware
[16:22] <jamespag`> the 12 virtual machines worked just fine
[16:23] <smoser> jamespag`, no.
[16:23] <jamespag`> smoser, logging into the machine and running start cloud-config fixed it up
[16:23] <smoser> can i see a failed system ?
[16:25] <jamespag`> smoser, yes
[17:16] <smoser> jamespage, it seems to me that this just has to be a upstart bug
[17:16] <smoser> :-(
[17:17] <smoser> cloud-config just isn't starting
[17:17] <smoser> and it is:
[17:17] <smoser> start on (filesystem and started rsyslog)
[17:18] <smoser> and rsyslog is : rsyslog start/spawned, process 1656
[17:18] <smoser> and rsyslog upstart job is: start on filesystem
[17:19] <smoser> so if rsyslog is running, then 'filesystem' has to have occurred, and rsyslog is 'started'
[17:20] <jamespage> smoser, bah humbug
[17:20] <jamespage> it sometimes starts
[17:20] <jamespage> seems OK on smaller hardware (maybe less race potential)
[17:24] <smoser> i'm asking slangasek
[17:24] <smoser> in ubuntu-devel
[17:24] <smoser> but that little snippet above seems logic-error free to me
[17:45] <smoser> jamespage, well, we found the root of the issue (i think)
[18:03] <railsmagnet> If my server has more than 1 IP address available .... do I need to those IP addresses to the network interface ... to be able to use them ?
[18:05] <RoyK> railsmagnet: why more IPs?
[18:06] <railsmagnet> multi IP hosting .... I have multiple rails app running
[18:06] <railsmagnet> for example myapp.com  points to an IP
[18:07] <railsmagnet> and my anotherapp.com points to 2nd IP
[18:07] <RoyK> if it's just web, you can use virtualhosts in apache
[18:07] <RoyK> otherwise, just assign multiple IPs to the same NIC
[18:08] <RoyK> "up ip addr add x.x.x.x/y dev eth0"
[18:08] <RoyK> in the interfaces file
[18:09] <sarnold> railsmagnet: that's mostly useful if you're hosting TLS secured sites..
[18:09] <RoyK> sarnold: TLS/SSL traffic can be used over same-ip connections as well with HTTP
[18:10] <railsmagnet> oh okay. so should I just add the line  "up ip addr add x.x.x.x/y dev eth0"  to the interfaces file
[18:11] <railsmagnet> and then do ifup -a ?
[18:12] <sarnold> RoyK: yeah, but SNI support isn't ubiquitous (yet)
[18:14] <RoyK> afaik it works on most stuff except elderly IE versions
[18:14] <RoyK> railsmagnet: no, just run the command as written without the "up"
[18:17] <railsmagnet> what is Y ? netmask ?
[18:20] <jcastro> roaksoax: hi! http://askubuntu.com/questions/288681/juju-with-maas-error-file-provider-state-not-found
[18:28] <railsmagnet> RoyK, I had 2 NIC on the machine so I add the additional IP to eth1
[18:28] <railsmagnet> is that a bad idea ?
[18:28] <RoyK> should work
[18:29] <RoyK> but no need to complicate things if the bandwidth on eth0 is sufficient to handle the load
[18:29] <RoyK> y is the number of bits in the netmask, as for 255.255.255.0, y=24
[18:29] <railsmagnet> ah okay. thanks
[18:39] <roaksoax> jcastro: done
[18:41] <SpamapS> utlemming: most annoying thing about automated cloud image updates it that they are _WAY_ too frequent.
[18:42] <SpamapS> utlemming: I am downloading a new cloud image every 3 days. :p
[18:43] <utlemming> SpamapS: that's a better problem than six months for a new image
[18:44] <SpamapS> utlemming: agree that up to date automated images are good. Not sure if 3 days is the right interval tho. :-P
[18:44] <SpamapS> it would help if my connection to cloud-images.ubuntu.com wasn't suffering 91% packet loss
[18:45] <jcastro> I thought it was ~3 weeks not 3 days
[18:45] <jcastro> following the kernel releases no?
[18:45] <utlemming> SpamapS: it shouldn't be three days...last week was an anomoly. There was a bug in the testing framework that I fixed which caused a set to be promoted and then the set that happend this week. That shouldn't happen again. What was happening is that one of the tests was time out waiting on EC2 to fire up 40 instances.
[18:46] <utlemming> jcastro: that is correct, it should be about ~3 weeks. This set is an anonomoly.
[18:46] <SpamapS> utlemming: I have been seeing them every few days for a few weeks now... certainly once per week.
[18:46] <SpamapS> http://paste.openstack.org/show/38150
[18:47] <SpamapS> perhaps pass that along to IS? seems quite unhealthy.
[18:47] <jcastro> hey lodgeit!

[18:48] <sarnold> lol
[18:48] <utlemming> SpamapS: done

[18:49] <jcastro> hey! We have a charm for that!
[18:49] <SpamapS> yourmom
[18:49] <jcastro> SpamapS: this will make you laugh. IS updated the nyancat charm to include the tarball instead of pulling from git.
[18:49] <SpamapS> jcastro: well it has to be stable!
[18:49] <jcastro> that thing needs to be _predictable_!
[18:50] <SpamapS> we can't just run rough shod over the pillars of good system administration
[18:50] <utlemming> SpamapS: IS says that Level3 treats ICMP traffic as unimportant, so your packet loss isn't trust-worthy.
[18:50] <SpamapS> makes sense
[18:51] <SpamapS> utlemming: well I got about 600kbit and I have 20Mbit available here.
