[09:01] <Yamakasi> Hi Guys
[09:02] <Yamakasi> I'm wondering if there is some centralized way of user management when you have server that you need to admin and let people login to. Would Ldap help me here ?
[09:14] <greppy> Yamakasi: probably.
[09:14] <Yamakasi> greppy: okay, but how ?
[09:14] <greppy> Yamakasi: that I don't know for sure, I've never set it up :)
[09:15] <Yamakasi> greppy: okay, you don't manage that much servers ?
[09:16] <greppy> not currently, just a handfull and not ones that have common users, besides myself.

[09:39] <pokds> Hello all, just a simple question, is posix ACL support enabled by default on ubuntu server 12.04.2 LTS using LVM?
[09:43] <xnox> pokds: LVM is not a filesystem, hence doesn't have ACL. The default filesystem on 12.04.2 LTS (with or without LVM) is ext4 which does support posix ACL by default.
[09:44] <pokds> xnox: ok I get it, thank you very much for the answer.
[09:44] <RoyK> posix ACLs have been supported for gods know how long...
[10:08] <rbasak> Supported, yes. But not enabled, if you mean user_xattr in /etc/fstab (AFAIK).
[10:09] <rbasak> (nor acl in /etc/fstab)

[11:46] <Pac_Man> hi
[11:47] <Pac_Man> anyone?
[11:49] <Koheleth> is 12.04.2 LTS ok with php 5.4.16?
[11:51] <RoyK> Koheleth: AFAICS, 12.04.2 uses 5.3.10
[11:52] <RoyK> Koheleth: did you install 5.4 from a ppa?
[11:53] <Koheleth> yeah I can see its 5.3.10 just got a client who wants the latest release, would it make it unstable?
[11:53] <Koheleth> clients eh, never happy
[11:56] <jamespage> yolanda, not sure I get "RET=$($client -h 2>&1 > /dev/null)"
[11:56] <jamespage> I think that will always be empty no?
[11:56] <yolanda> jamespage, if that fails it should be failing
[11:57] <yolanda> the tests i mean
[11:57] <jamespage> yolanda, but I don't see how that detects the failure
[11:57] <jamespage> all that does is run the client and redirect all output to /dev/null
[11:59] <yolanda> if the call gives an error it should be sending output to RET, am i wrong?
[12:00] <jamespage> yolanda, not with "2>&1 > /dev/null"
[12:01] <jamespage> that redirects all output to /dev/null
[12:02] <yolanda> mm, so i have this in all the tests
[12:02] <jamespage> yolanda, you should really be checking the return code
[12:02] <jamespage> yolanda, yeah - I just looked at the quantumclient one again
[12:02] <jamespage> sorry - I should have spotted that
[12:02] <yolanda> i think i also have it in other merged tests, i was wrong then
[12:03] <jamespage> yolanda, this one is OK I think - https://code.launchpad.net/~yolanda.robla/quantum/havana/+merge/167230
[12:04] <jamespage> yolanda, you do something similar when checking the python import
[12:04] <yolanda> yes
[12:04] <jamespage> but as you print output when it fails the test does fail
[12:05] <jamespage> yolanda, for the clients you need to check the return code
[12:05] <jamespage> anything other that 0 indicates some sort of failure
[12:06] <yolanda> jamespage, i tested that with the ceilometerclient and if the test for client is giving failure, it's giving error anyway
[12:07] <yolanda> but best way is to do something like that? result=$(command_to_test 2>&1) ???
[12:09] <jamespage> yolanda, no
[12:09] <Pupeno> Does anybody know about a saas third party service that would parse my logs and give me some info, like awstats?
[12:11] <jamespage> yolanda, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5751419/
[12:11] <RoyK> Koheleth: heh - I'd give the client a small VM for that use to avoid having to install non-lts packages on the server
[12:13] <yolanda> ok, i'll modify my tests for the clients. However, maybe by chance, but my checks were also failing if for example i use an incorrect option instead of -h, or i try to call an unexisting client
[12:40] <RoyK> anyone that knows if iscsi multipath can utilize all links for a single read or write request? For instance copying 50GB in or out of the SAN
[12:40] <RoyK> or is this implementation specific?
[12:56] <spidernik84> hello there. Any decent kvm webgui to suggest? Managing it via virt-manager over X forwarding is kinda... slow
[12:56] <RoyK> spidernik84: works well if you have decent internet access :)
[12:57] <spidernik84> indeed. Not so much if you are trying to reach a kvm host in Sydney... from Sweden :o)
[12:57] <spidernik84> and it needs many dependencies
[12:57] <RoyK> otherwise, perhaps try freenx
[12:58] <andol> spidernik84: Why would you do the x-forwarding, instead of running virt-manager locally?
[12:58] <RoyK> that's more of a remote desktop thing, though
[12:59] <spidernik84> andol: do you use it via ssh?
[13:00] <jpds> spidernik84: Yes, standard, qemu+ssh://hostip/system connection.
[13:00] <jpds> spidernik84: ie, virt-manager on your computer can connect to libvirtd on the remote host
[13:00] <spidernik84> in my case, root access via ssh is disabled on the remote host
[13:00] <spidernik84> it would be nice to use it. I guess I just need to add the right groups
[13:00] <jpds> spidernik84: Doesn't have to be root, just has to be a user in the libvirtd group.
[13:02] <spidernik84> do you see any limitation in virt-manager? Would you consider it enough for vm administration?
[13:03] <jpds> spidernik84: Decide that for yourself. :)
[13:03] <spidernik84> :)
[13:03] <jpds> Does everything I need it to do.
[13:04] <spidernik84> jpds, perfect, thanks
[13:04] <spidernik84> still kinda slow but I guess it's not really its fault
[13:04] <spidernik84> more a connection speed
[13:05] <andol> spidernik84: You couldn't find anywhere further away from Sweden than Sydney to place the servers? :-)
[13:06] <spidernik84> :D
[13:06] <spidernik84> it's doing some cdn-like stuff

[16:34] <smoser> utlemming, on azure.... do you happen to know what might be running 'start networking' ?
[16:34] <utlemming> smoser: the images are configured to autostart eth0
[16:35] <smoser> how?
[16:35] <utlemming> smoser: look in /etc/network/interfaces
[16:35] <utlemming> "auto eth0"
[16:36] <smoser> right. but nothing should run 'start networking'
[16:37] <smoser> but something is
[16:39] <utlemming> why do you say so?
[16:40] <smoser> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5752208/
[16:41] <smoser> can i get console (ttyS0) output on those ?
[16:41] <utlemming> yup, call MS support
[16:42] <smoser> hyperscale!
[16:44] <utlemming> lol
[16:49] <smoser> this is part of why it takes 120 seconds to come up on boot
[16:49] <smoser> as seen https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/walinuxagent/+bug/1189521
[16:54] <utlemming> smoser: ack, digging on this
[16:54] <smoser> so, i'm not sure why networking gets run.
[16:55] <smoser> but it takes 2 minutes to boot because dhclient fails on the dhcp response
[16:57] <utlemming> smoser: I'm firing up a precise instance to see if that is the story there too.
[16:58] <utlemming> smoser: RTNETLINK answers: File exists
[16:58] <utlemming> smoser: that is from /var/log/upstart/networking.log
[16:58] <smoser> well, thats because it does.
[16:58] <smoser> :)
[16:59] <utlemming> smoser: here's a potential working hyptothesis: walinuxagent starts on runlevel 2. It setups up its own DHCP client listening on port 63. If the agent and dhclient try to run at the same time, that could cause the failure.
[17:00] <utlemming> smoser: also of note, 12.04 instances _have_ dhclient running.
[17:00] <smoser> the agent's dhclient shouldnt affect anything really.
[17:00] <utlemming> if both bind attempt to bind on port 68?
[17:00] <smoser> and as seen in /var/log/network-interface-eth0.log, dhclient fails well before walinux runs
[17:02] <smoser> so i'm pretty sure that waagent's dhcp is what is actually bringing up networking (such that you can ssh in), but i'm not sure what is running 'start networking'
[17:03] <utlemming> smoser: I just don't know where in the code that could be happening
[17:04] <smoser> i dont know either.
[17:04]  * smoser tried to ocnfigure my 13.10 with statick networking (rather than dhcp) and it seems DOA
[17:11] <utlemming> smoser: on my instance I see a 15 second difference between when the agent did its work the networking started. After putting a comment, I can see that the DHCP socket for the agent should have closed 14 seconds before the networking start was issued. So my hypothesis, as you stated, is wrong
[17:11] <smoser> i tihnk something down the failsafe path is doing it
[17:11] <smoser> but i dont know what
[17:14] <utlemming> smoser: bingo. See line 1739 http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[17:14] <utlemming> smoser: If I am following the code right, it flaps the connection a few times
[17:14] <smoser> pastebinit failed :)
[17:14] <smoser> or your copy and paste did
[17:14] <utlemming> smoser: user error, try http://paste.ubuntu.com/5752320/
[17:15] <smoser> but that actually shouldn't cause 'networking' job to run
[17:15] <utlemming> smoser: the first call is at line 2473, which does a flap for no reason, other than to give the instance a name of 'localhost.localdomain'
[17:16] <utlemming> smoser: right...and it doesn't explain why the if status shows down
[17:17] <smoser> well, if shows down because dhclient failed
[17:17] <smoser> its a stupid state
[17:17] <smoser> it just knows that *it* didn't bring it up
[17:17] <smoser> so its down from its perspective
[17:17] <smoser> (well, it tried and it failed)
[17:19] <hallyn> anyone know what scratchbox-devkit-qemu is?
[17:20] <smoser> Scratchbox is a framework to help developers with cross-compilation of Linux software
[17:21] <smoser> (but other than that, no)
[17:21] <hallyn> interesting - thanks
[17:21] <adam_g_> zul, any chance you can take a look at the 2013.1.2 grizzly branch update proposals?

[17:25] <zul> adam_g_:  done
[17:26] <adam_g_> zul, okay thanks.
[17:26] <utlemming> smoser: I think that this might be a bug in the lease time. Doing a "ip addr del ... dev eth0 & restart networking" yield a message about "Unable to set up timer: out of range". Googling this, I found https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=789601
[17:26] <smoser> utlemming, right
[17:26] <utlemming> smoser: it looks this might be the insanely long lese time
[17:26] <utlemming> er, lease time
[17:26] <smoser> that "out of range" is why it fails
[17:26] <smoser> (well, the first time. i'm not sure if its that our the route-exists the second time)
[17:26] <smoser> but it doesn't really matter
[17:30] <smoser> utlemming, http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=30874&seqNum=3
[17:30] <smoser> that, paired with /var/log/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases having:
[17:30] <smoser>   renew 4 2149/07/17 23:25:05;
[17:30] <smoser>   rebind 4 2149/07/17 23:25:05;
[17:30] <smoser>   expire 4 2149/07/17 23:25:05;
[17:31] <smoser> makes me suspect a off-by-one(ish) error
[17:31] <utlemming> yeah, the max lease should be 2048/07/17
[17:32] <utlemming> so then, obviously I file a ticket with MS....do we need to do something in the meantime? I am curious why this works on 12.04 and not in 13.04
[17:32] <smoser> well
[17:32] <smoser> $ date --date="now + $(echo "2^32 - 2" | bc) seconds" --utc
[17:32] <smoser> Fri Jul 18 00:00:36 UTC 2149
[17:33] <utlemming> per your link, the max lease is roughly 135 years
[17:33] <smoser> so its very close to right.
[17:33] <smoser> well, either that guy's math or bc's is wrong
[17:33] <smoser> and between the two of them, i trust bc
[17:33] <smoser> (and gnu date)
[17:33] <utlemming> right
[18:14] <utlemming> smoser: I just applied, build and tested the RH bug fix, and this is a match.

[18:23] <luminous> hello! if you add an init/upstart script to /etc/init/foo.conf - do you need to do anything else before you can "start foo" ?

[21:04] <utlemming> smoser: negative. I confirmed that it doesn not affect 12.04 or 12.10
[21:04] <smoser> that seems unlikely, dont you think ?

[21:07] <smoser> it would seem like it would *have* to affect quantal

[22:46] <Slyboots> Evening folks.  Im curious anyone had any experiance with this new fs btrfs?
[22:47] <sarnold> Slyboots: at least a handful of folks here have btrfs in their testing setups.. I'm not sure it's quite production ready, but it sure looks promising
[22:47] <Slyboots> Mm, Im just thinking of using it in my home NAS but slightly confused.
[22:47] <Slyboots> I take it you use brfs instead of mdadm for a RAID/LVM
[22:47] <Slyboots> And *not* on top of those
[22:48] <xnox> Slyboots: correct.
[22:48] <Slyboots> Bugger, going to have to start again then heh..
[22:49] <xnox> Slyboots: the installer doesn't offer out-of-the-box setup of raid levels though.
[22:50] <Slyboots> Im sure I can muddle my way though the setup
[22:50] <Slyboots> So brfs is quite like zfs it sounds
[22:50] <xnox> they are similar in many aspects/concepts
[22:50] <xnox> "class" / "generation" of filesystems.
[22:52] <Slyboots> Okay, Well I'll give this a good reading and a tinkering, I was just curiuos if people had used it and if its considered "Safe" enough for general use
[22:52] <Slyboots> I wouldnt put it on a production server of course, but I think for my home NAS it'll do the job :)
[22:54] <sarnold> excellent :) feedback from enthusiastic users is what moves it along :)
[22:54] <Slyboots> :D
[23:09] <jcastro> I use it on my home NAS
[23:09] <jcastro> no problems
[23:09] <jcastro> just make sure you have a newer kernel
[23:09] <jcastro> I use a backported kernel for 12.04
[23:11] <Slyboots> jcastro, hm?
[23:12] <sarnold> jcastro: quantal or raring? .. can you recall off the top of your head what changed between them and precise?
[23:12] <jcastro> the updates to btrfs are in the kernel
[23:13] <jcastro> so you can snag either quantal or raring kernels for 12.04 if you want a new kernel but stable userspace
[23:13] <jcastro> linux-generic-lts-raring and linux-generic-lts-quantal
[23:13] <Slyboots> Ahh..
