mgw1Corey: thanks for your help, I'll let you know if/when I figure it out.00:10
Coreymgw1: No worries, I'd be curious to hear.00:10
Coreymgw1: #debian-boot on OFTC may be a decent resource as well for this.00:10
AustnealHello!00:22
* Austneal pokes qman__00:22
CoreyAustneal: Get your dovecot issue sorted?00:31
AustnealI have not >.<00:31
CoreyAustneal: What's the issue?00:32
Austnealpostfix is working beautifully though00:32
CoreyAustneal: It does that. :-)00:32
AustnealI cant authenticate with dovecot00:32
CoreyAustneal: What do the logs say?00:32
Austnealone moment, ill pull it up00:32
CoreyYay.00:32
Austnealhttp://pastebin.com/LVw22cbh00:33
Austnealthe error about unknown user being "root" was expected00:34
Austnealthere isnt actually a "root"00:34
CoreyAustneal: That's... less than helpful.00:35
Austnealhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixVirtualMailBoxClamSmtpHowto <= this is the tutorial I was following00:35
CoreyAustneal: You're not showing me a dovecot authentication failure. Or anything from dovecot at all, really.00:35
CoreyAustneal: /join #postfix, then type !tutorial and press enter.00:35
AustnealOk... that didnt help :P00:36
Austnealthat tutorial didnt actually work. qman__ helped me straighten everything out00:36
CoreyAustneal: Exactly. Most tutorials are crap. :-)00:37
AustnealI suspect theres another .conf file thats messing things up00:37
CoreyAustneal: You have yet to provide any dovecot logs. Is it even running?00:37
AustnealI believe so00:37
Austnealwill double check00:37
Austnealits running00:37
CoreyAustneal: doveconf -n to a pastebin.00:38
Austneal...thats a lot of info00:39
CoreyAustneal: That's the dovecot running config.00:40
Austnealhttp://pastebin.com/kzGKa08g00:40
CoreyWell we found your problems.00:40
CoreyThose warnings are correct. :-)00:40
Austnealthe tut was crap? xD00:41
CoreyAustneal: Fix that up, and see if that helps.00:41
qman__yeah, and you have two identical passdb blocks00:41
qman__get rid of one00:41
CoreyThere are no externally sourced conf files,merely /etc/dovecot/passwd.00:41
Austnealso just replace the obsolete statements with the ones it shows, yeah?00:41
CoreyAustneal: That's a good start. :-)00:42
CoreyAustneal:  doveconf -n > dovecot-new.conf, then edit dovecot-new.conf00:42
CoreyWhen happy,copy it to dovecot.conf, restart dovecot.00:42
Corey(Why yes, I did spend many years running mailservers, why do you ask?)00:42
Corey(I've also got a salt state file that'll do the entire mail configuration dance for me, yay)00:43
Austneal:P00:43
Austnealqman__ Im not seeing two passdb blocks00:44
Austnealbut it is actually showing that in that output....00:44
Austnealhm00:44
CoreyAustneal: You may be sourcing multiple files. I'd proceed with my plan outlined above. :-)00:45
qman__or grep -R for passdb00:45
Coreyhttp://pastebin.com/awshapd6 is mine.00:47
Corey(Salt fills in the missing credentials in the mysql bits at runtime)00:47
CoreyEr, at render time rather.00:47
Austnealthere are 18 conf files in the conf.d directory....00:57
Austnealcould be any one of them >.<00:57
qman__grep00:57
qman__specifically, grep -R passdb /etc/dovecot00:58
qman__it will tell you which files contain it and on what lines00:58
CoreyAustneal: That's nutty. I'd blow the directory out, build a unified dovecot.conf from dovecot-net.conf, and call it a day.00:59
Austnealhttp://pastebin.com/nNza0qQY00:59
qman__that's the debian way, and it follows that it is the ubuntu way01:00
Corey*shudder*01:00
Corey"Guess which one of the 15 included files is causing you issues!" is a crappy game.01:00
Austnealwell... I dont want to just delete them01:01
CoreyAustneal: mv /etc/dovecot/conf.d /etc/dovecot/conf.bak01:01
Austnealit wont still read from conf.bak?01:02
qman__no01:02
Austnealsweet01:02
qman__the includes are listed in the main config file01:02
qman__you will have to comment them out01:02
qman__or start fresh01:02
Austnealthe hell... its still showing 2 passdb01:02
Austnealtheres only one .conf file now...01:03
qman__you have to reload to make changes take effect, but before you do that, save the output to a file01:03
qman__and make that the main conf file01:03
Austnealsave dovecot -n to a file?01:04
qman__yes01:04
qman__mv /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.bak; doveconf -n > /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf01:04
qman__then edit it and remove the redundant block, make needed changes, etc01:05
qman__then reload01:05
Austnealdone01:06
Austneal doveconf: Error: ssl enabled, but ssl_cert not set01:06

qman__it shouldn't be, I just told you to create it01:07
AustnealI know :/01:07
Austnealit has the first 2 lines, then nothing01:07
qman__I guess it's fortunate you have it in a pastebin then01:07
Austnealidk, when I type in those commands, thats what it does01:09
Austneal:/01:09
qman__it does now because you reloaded dovecot's config with an empty one01:09
qman__that's why you needed to do it before reloading01:10
qman__but you have the old config in that pastebin link, just copy it back in01:10
Austnealbah, now dovecot wont start01:12
qman__did you edit it to remove the warnings? they're not valid config syntax01:12
Austnealok... going to just dig through it01:13

Austnealmade some changes.... lets see how they work now >.<01:23
Austnealrunning out of things to look for...01:33
CoreyAustneal: Again, what do the logs say?01:37
AustnealOo01:38
Austnealthis might be something....01:38
Austnealhttp://pastebin.com/NvdQKUst01:39

Austnealthat would be a postfix issue, yeah?03:22
echosystmi need to migrate a website to a different server. i was thinking i would set up a tcp proxy on the new server pointing back at the old server, update DNS, wait until it has propagated, migrate the data, turn off the old server and proxy.06:01
echosystmone problem with this is that using iptables with NAT for the proxy, the old server will never see the real IP of the requests, which is important for session management.06:02
echosystmcan anyone recommend a better alternative?06:02
vedicHi, I have a quad core 8 threads xeon server with 8GB RAM and ubuntu 10.04 installed. I want to upgrade the OS to 12.04 . But doubt I have is that I have few services running on it like: ssh, postgresql 8.4 with pgbouncer. Will the entire setup remain functioning if I upgrade to 12.04? or it will break. I am taking backup though06:31

vedicHey friends, I am curious to know what will happen to ssh access to remote server if I upgrade Ubuntu server 10.04 to 12.04 ?12:43
koolhead17vedic, it will get restarted/upgraded & you will be able to access the remote server afterwards12:45
vedickoolhead17: I have sshd configured to run on non standard port and it has public/private keys setup. I hope that won't affect the server12:49
koolhead17vedic, technically pkg  should ask if the config file should be overwritten, but better double check12:50
vedickoolhead17: I see12:51
vedickoolhead17: Btw, if I install kvm on 10.04 LTS (and don't upgrade it to 12.04), does that matter if I install 12.04 to guest machines? I see somebody has filled a bug previous on this issue12:53
koolhead17vedic, i would advise you to upgrade it :)12:54

hallynsmoser: is using backport lxc packages acceptable for that?14:19
smoserprobably not. i dont think juju otherwise enables backports.14:20
smoserso you verify that that is true at least. and known.14:20
smoserand non-trivial to fix i'm guessing14:20
hallynyes, you need to do some extra steps to enable nested lxc14:20
hallynsmoser: if you detect you're inside lxc - I assume that is a container you didn't control then?14:21
hallyn(basically you have to change the aa_profile and hooks in the first level container, then change the lxcbr0 config in the second container)14:22
smoserhallyn, juju probalby does control the creation of that container14:22
smoseror at least in some cases i think it would14:22
hallynbut you're in cloud-init so you don't know14:22
hallynsmoser: anyway yeah we can aim to make it more flexible later, for now it's reasonable14:23
smoserhallyn, maybe you could comment in that review teling them how they could create the container to support installation of lxc14:25
hallynwill do14:25
hallynok, done.14:32
hallynsmoser: again probably nothing wron gwith taking the patch as is now, and i can float a patch later for cloud-init to detect whether it is set up properly so that lxc install should succeed.14:33
smoseroh. the patch is for juju, not for cloud-init.14:35
smoserso the solution would be for juju to just create containers more usefully.14:35
hallynthen yeah.14:36

vedicHi, I am upgrading my server from 10.04 to 12.04 . I have sshd configured with public/private key . Just want to note the things how to protect from not getting locked out when this upgrade completes. Server is at remote location16:16
vedicI am thinking of making "no" to RSAAuthentication and PubkeyAuthentication in sshd_config . Also root authentication allowed till I get the system upgraded. What else I should take care? Should I remove Protocol from 2 to 1?16:18
vedicProtocol 2  # HostKeys for protocol version 2      HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key      HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key16:18
vedicI think the host keys will change while upgrade16:19
patdk-wkvedic, why?16:20
patdk-wknormally you just upgrade16:21
patdk-wkand that is that16:21
patdk-wkif you get locked out, someone rebooted the server during the upgrade or other very bad thing16:21

vedicI am trying to access remote system using ssh but its giving permission denied. Password is correct. I think I have missed something while removing pub/private key infra from sshd_config.

dv81i inspected the difference, but can't really tell ;P17:25

mgwSo, yesterday I was trying to PXE boot the precise installer with a local mirror for packages. So far, the installer is still failing to pick up the mirror host from the kickstart. I've tried to use both IP and a resolvable hostname for the mirror to no avail. Anybody have any ideas?17:26
mgwd-i mirror/http/hostname string 10.x.x.x17:26
mgwd-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu17:26
sarnoldmgw: did you rule out the preseed being ignored completely?17:27
mgwlooking in syslog on console 4 reveals that it is doing a wget on us.archive.ubuntu.com17:27
mgwsarnold: it behaves very differently if I leave off ks=….17:28
mgwfrom the boot options in my pxelinux.cfg/default17:28
mgwe.g., it appears to be using the network configuration options from the kickstart17:29
sarnoldmgw: is the kickstart overriding the preseed?17:29
mgwIs there a distinction? I'm giving the url of the preseed in ks=17:30
mgwaha17:30
mgw*places foot in mouth*17:31
mgwin syslog: kickseed: Unrecognized kickstart command: d-i17:31
sarnoldmgw: we're stepping way out of my familiarity, but I thought the kickstart-support was different than the original debian preseed support..17:32
mgwsarnold: perhaps so, it looks like there's a ks= and a file= option17:34
mgwI'm changing to file=17:34
dv81sarnold, Pici, this is the first one it asks: http://pastebin.com/1dk4HQs217:35
sarnolddv81: most of the changes are cosmetic, in comments. if you -do- accept the maintainer's version, you should add back the lines you've added, 54 through 58.17:37
dv81ok17:39
dv81sarnold, also whats your take on this: http://pastebin.com/yzR6gk4N17:39
sarnolddv81: yikes, I'm surprised you're being prompted for that.17:40
dv81sarnold, is this showing a diff on /var/run/grub/menu.lst vs /tmp/file16Svmu ?17:41
dv81sarnold, yeah its not something im liking17:41
sarnolddv81: yeah, and the /tmp/ version has _more_ entries than the /var/run/ version. I'm confused.17:41
dv81^^^ and is that diff that the kernal to boot is being replaced with the new one?17:42
uvirtbotdv81: Error: "^^" is not a valid command.17:42
sarnolddv81: it looks like your version might be missing the "## ## End Default Options ##" marker and the "### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST" marker, but I really don't know enough here to suggest the right course of action. keeping what you've got feels 'safest', but that's an odd diff.17:43

dv81sarnold, this is from a fresh 10.04 install, upgrading the the next LTS17:45
dv81i can only presume ubuntu has a massive testing regime for this kinda thing17:46
dv81and thus you would think all the defaults are sane ones17:46
sarnolddv81: did you do the upgade via do-release-up(grade?)(date?) -- or did you use apt-get dist-upgrade?17:46
sarnolddv81: it's not -that- fresh of an install though, you've got some custom configuration in the sysctl.conf ...17:47
mgwsarnold: so are ks and preseed even intended to work together? Or is it an either/or?17:59
sarnoldmgw: I'd guess XOR; I think KS is to help out the folks who might already have a workflow around KS from RHEL deployments17:59

sarnoldNahas: hello.18:08
Nahashow do I view or edit the sources list using the terminal?18:08
Nahashi18:09
NahasI'm trying to do an update on 10.04 but it keep on failing when I use the gui and terminal.18:09
NahasHow can I fix that?18:10
sarnoldNahas: to edit, you'd use whichever editor you're most familiar with; for me, that'd be vim, so "vim /etc/apt/sources.lists" -- but vim is baffling if you've never used it before, in which case perhaps nano or joe or jed or emacs would be easier.18:10
sarnoldNahas: are you using do-release-upgrade ?18:10
NahasDon't want to upgrade since 10.04 is lts18:10
Nahasjust want to update the over 300 packages that are there18:11
sarnoldNahas: ah.18:11
NahasI use nano btw18:11
sarnoldNahas: can you pastebin the failure?18:11
Nahasbut can't edit them18:11
G55321<sarnold> I get a grub prompt, I can even change kernel parameters and booting options etc....but as soon as I select a kernel and boot, its just stays there with a blinking line at the top18:12
pmatulis_anyone else not able to install Raring using virt-install?  i have a Raring host and 'virt-install --os-variant=list' only goes up to Quantal18:12
Nahasnot at this moment.18:12
G55321<sarnold> just found out that the only kernel that works is 2.6.38-4518:12
sarnoldNahas: you may need to use 'sudo' to elevate privileges18:13
G55321<sarnold> and I have installed up to 2.6.38.4818:13
Nahasi do that.18:13
sarnoldG55321: check your free disk space18:13

Nahaswish i could18:13
Nahascant do that now18:14
sarnoldre-type the error? :)18:14
Nahasfirst it gives me the error that could say that the server i'm trying to reach isnt there18:15
Nahaslike jm.archive.ubunut.com is there18:16
Nahasi want to switch to the main servers but can't18:17

lickalottthat gave me "no new releases found"18:46
pmatulis_sir lickalott: what is the output to 'lsb-release -c' ?19:01
sh_they folks. I'm trying to create a package from source with checkinstall that I can use on a few identical debian/ubuntu servers. I've added a few extra lines into my Makefile/install area to create some directories in addition to some similar commands already there (mkdir -p). When I checkinstall on the server that I'm creating the package on (in the source tree) everything in my Makefile19:17
sh_tis done correctly. When installing the package on another identical server, not everything in the makefile/install area is run. This must mean that installwatch is not picking up the folders being made when make install is run. any ideas why this may happen?19:17

mdeslaursmoser: hi!19:24
smoserhey. :)19:24
mdeslaursmoser: we need more than a list of releases, raring needs to have a specific configuration19:24
mdeslaursmoser: the cirrus driver no longer works with raring, for example19:24
smoserwell, that could be handled.19:25
mdeslaursmoser: I'll push an SRU soon19:25
mdeslaursmoser: handled in what way?19:25
smoserwell, at least at this point it seems like a simple set of rules works there.19:27
smoserubuntu > hardy : VIRTIO_NET19:28
smoserubuntu > jaunty: VIRTIO_DISK19:28
mgwCorey, sarnold: thanks for your help, I've got it working now19:28
smoserubuntu > raring: VMVGA_VIDEO19:28
mgwthe fundamental problem was using ks= instead of url=19:28
mgwto specify the preseed19:28
mdeslaursmoser: likely either saucy+1 or one of the later ones should switch to SPICE19:29
mdeslaurnot sure which one19:29
mdeslaurbut yeah, I see what you're getting at19:30
mdeslaurI'll think about it, and poke at it19:30
Coreymgw: Glad you got it sorted. :-)19:30
smoseri'm not sure whether or not i like dymanically (based on SRU) removing entries from 'virt-install --os-variant=list | grep ubuntu'19:30
mdeslauroh, having the unsupported versions disappear? yeah19:31
smoserbut, i'm guessing once it drops from "supported" in distro-info, its possibly going to just stop working anyway19:31
smoser(as the mirrors will stop having data)19:31
Coreysmoser: IIRC there's a particular mirror that offers packages for legacy purposes, but once it's out of support there are very few legitimate use cases for using it.19:31
smoserits probably no different here than generic policy on such things.19:31
mdeslaura user can always select "generic linux", or a release close to one that's still supported19:32
smoserCorey, right. but virt-inst probly doesn't say "oh, apt-get update failed... i'll try old-releases.ubuntu.com"19:32
Coreysmoser: I cheat, libvirt nodes are CentOS here. :-p19:32
mdeslaursmoser: I'm liking the python-distro-info idea, thanks19:33
smosermdeslaur, good. i just really hate SRU's everytime sabdfl comes out with a new name.19:33
mgwcan more than one proxy be listed in /etc/apt/apt.conf?19:51
smosermgw, i dont thinks so.19:56
mgwsmoser: thanks, I'll just use a hostname and update dns if the primary goes down19:56
Coreymgw: dns is the easy way to do it, but I've also had multiple systems in failover configuration with keepalived (part of lvs) for when it really matters.19:59
Coreymgw: It comes down to "is this proxy on the critical production path."19:59
mgwCorey: yeah, not really in this case20:01
mgwSo dns should be adequate20:01

chmrrWhy does http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2013/CVE-2013-3567.html list Lucid as EOL and thus not provide an updated package?  Doesn't the server edition of Lucid still have support until 2015?21:03
uvirtbotchmrr: ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that will use it when announcing a new security problem.  When the candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be provided.

Picigood question21:03
sarnoldchmrr, Pici, not all packages in 10.04 LTS are supported for 5 years. at this point, the only packages that are supported by the security team are located here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security/ubuntu-cve-tracker/master/view/head:/lucid-supported.txt21:06
Picisarnold: The 10.04 server that I have here has "Supported: 5y" on puppet's package description.21:07
chmrrWhile that is not unreasonable, that is very much not clear from the desktop EOL notice21:07
Picisarnold: also, that list is the packages that are NOT supported.21:07
Picier, no, I misread.21:08
PiciIts in main in lucid, I'd expect for it to be supported.21:09
chmrrOut of curiosity, what determines what packages make it onto that list?21:09
sarnoldchmrr: I believe it starts with everything on the server CD and then gets extended by a handful of extra packages here or there21:10
G55321 thats why I am upgrading to 12.04 right now :D21:15

FunnyLookinHaterr - it's brainfart time...  Trying to change a default route gateway...  sudo route add -net IPADDRESS default gw     no?  it's saying SIOCADDRT: No such process21:26
sarnoldFunnyLookinHat: no such _process_?21:27
FunnyLookinHatright?21:27
FunnyLookinHatI'm confused as well...21:27
FunnyLookinHaterr ... I meant: sudo route add -net default gw 10.0.0.021:27
sarnoldFunnyLookinHat: I _think_ that's an incorrect combination of modes... if you're setting a route to a network, I don't think you want to give a "default gw" on the line..21:28
FunnyLookinHatsarnold, well, I'm really trying to change the "default" gateway that I see when I run $ route21:28
sarnoldFunnyLookinHat: I think it's either route add -net 10.0.0.0/8 <ip addr>     or  route add default gw <ip addr>21:28
FunnyLookinHat$ sudo route add default gw 10.0.0.0        = SIOCADDRT: No such process21:29
FunnyLookinHatheh - do I have to remove the old default gw first ?21:29
sarnoldFunnyLookinHat: do you have a host route or network route to 10.0.0.0? that's a funny looking host address...21:30
FunnyLookinHatIt's inside a virtualbox VM - 10.0.0.0 is the network for the bridged adapter ( br100 ) that gets internet access from the VirtualBox host21:31
Patrickdkyou mean 10.0.0.0/8? 10.0.0.0/16? 10.0.0.0/24?21:31
FunnyLookinHathttp://hastebin.com/sidurotufi.bash21:31
FunnyLookinHatI mean this  ^   :)21:31
Patrickdkand 10.0.0.0 is a invalid21:31
Patrickdkok, so 10.0.0.0/24 is your network21:32
Patrickdkso what is your host?21:32
sarnoldFunnyLookinHat: what's the IP address of the host's vm-facing routing interface?21:32
Patrickdkifconfig br10021:32
sarnold(what a mouthful. there's got to be an easier way to say that..)21:32
PatrickdkI did it in two words :)21:33
FunnyLookinHatOh wait21:33
sarnoldPatrickdk: lol21:33
FunnyLookinHatYou guys are right - I'm confusing it...  eth0 _should_ be the default gateway21:33
FunnyLookinHatBecause br100 is 10.0.0.1  - lol21:33
Patrickdkheh?21:33
FunnyLookinHatHmm ok - I guess my problem is elsewhere then.21:33
Patrickdk10.0.0.1 would be the gateway for your vm's likely21:33
Patrickdkunless you have doen something really confusing21:34
FunnyLookinHatI'm runnig devstack, so confusing isn't the half of it :)21:34
sarnoldhehe21:34
FunnyLookinHatIssue is that my instances don't have network access... very strange.  I'm 99% sure it's a routing issue though21:34
PatrickdkI would just slap default gw 10.0.0.121:34
Patrickdkassuming you have nat/forwarding setup on that host machine21:35
FunnyLookinHatwell the VM currently CAN get to the net21:35
FunnyLookinHatthat's the weird part21:35
FunnyLookinHatJust the instances it's hosting ( i.e. nested QEMUs ) can't21:35
FunnyLookinHatAnd I can't install traceroute to find the problem because I have no net access on the instance boxes  :)21:36
sarnoldFunnyLookinHat: check the /proc forwarding sysctls? check the firewall rules to make sure it's doing NAT?21:37
Patrickdkthought we where talking about the nexted qemu's21:37
FunnyLookinHathmm ok21:38
chmrrsarnold: BTW, I'm going to assume that the first line of the lucid-supported.txt file you linked to is also wrong, and should say "Lucid source packages not in this list are unsupported starting May 9, 2015" not "... Apr 29, 2015"21:43
chmrrBecause otherwise it makes even less sense21:43
G55321so, I just found on HP website an updated "critical" update to my network card, but it says that the OS is RHEL, can I still use it under ubuntu? the format of the file is scexe21:43

MasterZuFuif I've got a web app and am going to have several web apps on a virtual ubuntu server installation, would it be better and more secure to have the SMTP server on the same server, or make a new server for it?21:48
thurstylarkI have a fresh install of 12.04 LTS server, and I didn't get to install the ssh server during setup. Now I can't access anything because my moniter says the signal is out of range. Is there any way to fix that blind?21:48
ScottKProbably easier to install ssh bling (assuming networking works)21:53
chmrr*sigh* I guess this server/desktop LTS discrepancy will no longer be relevant after Lucid goes away.21:55
MasterZuFuwould it be better to setup SMTP on the same virtualbox server as my other web services, or create a different install?21:59
ScottKI'd do a different one if it were me.22:00
thurstylarknetwork connected successfully during setup, and i was able to install updates, but i forgot to do the ssh setup22:02

ScottKYou're welcome.22:04

G55321what's the difference between the generic and server kernel types?22:07
G55321I just upgraded my server to 12.04 and a generic kernel got installed instead of the server one22:09

mojtabaHi, I would like to know that, is it possible to use rsnapshot on a shared host?23:29
mojtabaI have not root priviledges on the remote server and I would like to make a full backup.23:30
mojtabaprivilege*23:30
sarnoldmojtaba: it should be possible, though you might need to go to some work to install the rsnapshot and rsnapshot-diff programs into your home directory, and configure your cronjobs yourself..23:32
mojtabasarnold: All configurations needed to be done on the local machine?23:32
sarnoldmojtaba: you'd need to set the configuration file appropriately, of course, but you could do that on the remote machine23:33
mojtabasarnold: Does it need root privileges?23:33
adam_g_smoser, oh, ok. at some point recently the default disk size of m1.tiny got set from 0 to 1(GB). when set to non-zero, nova checks the flavors's disk size vs actual disk and fails if disk > flavor.disk.23:34
sarnoldmojtaba: the program looks smart enough to perform chown operations only if root23:38
