pabelangerjust because I am curious, how come http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04.2/release/ doesn't actually contain 12.04.2 images?00:16
pabelangerlooks like 12.04.3 was uploaded into it today00:17
sarnoldsmoser: see pabelanger's question about http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04.2/release/ containing 12.04.3 ...00:24
Darkstar1is it adviseable to change files like passwd and group to 600?00:40
sarnoldDarkstar1: no, that's what shadow is for00:40
Darkstar1I don't understand what you mean00:41
sarnoldDarkstar1: passwd used to contain the hashed passwords in addition to all the other data currently in passwd; but as offline brute-force attacks against the hashed passwords became more commonplace, the 'shadow' system was created to keep the hashed passwords in mode 640 files, reducing the availability of the hashed passwords00:42
sarnoldbut ls -l, ps aux, and other utilities all benefit from having user-readable passwd00:43
Darkstar1Ok00:43

TheLordOfTime12.04 server is still supported right?01:06
TheLordOfTimei'm getting issues on an OpenVZ VPS when installing iptables-persistent and i'm not getting any good output from the breaking apt-get installation01:07
TheLordOfTimeis there a way to get more than just this:01:07
TheLordOfTimedpkg: error processing iptables-persistent (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 101:07
sarnoldTheLordOfTime: I don't think openvz guests get to use iptables do they?01:09
TheLordOfTimesarnold, afaict they should be allowed to.01:09
TheLordOfTimei can check with the provider, but it's not my openvz setup01:09
TheLordOfTimesarnold, i know that i've been able to use iptables on openvz guests before on other providers01:09
TheLordOfTimeso maybe it's different between providers01:09
TheLordOfTimesarnold, the fact i was able to put a POSTROUTING entry into the nat table makes me think there *is* iptables access01:11
Darkstar1just a qq: http://askubuntu.com/questions/223944/how-to-automatically-restart-tomcat7-on-system-reboots the script in the accepted answer will run tomcat as the user that calls the script right?01:12

sarnoldDarkstar1: that'll start /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/startup.sh as root01:19

jasondotstarevening.01:19
TheLordOfTimeby opening an HTTP listener on a given port, rejecting it, and then later ACCEPT-ing it in iptables01:19
sarnoldTheLordOfTime: thanks for the correction :)01:20
TheLordOfTimeand that did as expected: blocks the traffic, and accepts it01:20
Darkstar1sarnold: Figured as much. I don't think so but I'll try the script now.01:20
jasondotstarhey, I'm looking to contribute to the ubuntu effort. I'm a linux admin. is there a place I can help here?01:20

jasondotstarsarnold thanks. is there a place where I can do some configuration management stuff? I've heard cool stuff abt juju01:23
thurstylarkDoes anyone know how how to get a ubuntu (12.04+) to bind to an Open Directory hosted by a Mountian Lion server? Is it possible?01:24
Darkstar1sarnold: problem is if I try to run tomcat as a created user (with no home and no shell) I get propmted for password still.01:25
sarnoldjasondotstar: yeah, juju looks cool. I haven't used the newer go-based version yet, but the old stuff was cool and the new stuff has more features. :) check out #juju, there's lots of friendly folks there who can help you write charms, debug installations, etc01:25
jasondotstarsarnold ack.01:25
jasondotstarsarnold are you guys maintaining the ubuntu infrastructure here? or answering questions abt ubuntu server stuff here? or both?01:26
sarnoldjasondotstar: this channel is mostly for people developing server components, but we do help users with questions as well01:26

TheLordOfTimePatrickdk_, heh01:28
TheLordOfTimeor until someone tells ikonia about it, in either of those cases you get beat up :P01:28
Darkstar1sarnold: thanks I already read that one. But want to use a normal startup script. Looks like I'll have to use it in the end :)01:30
sarnoldDarkstar1: I was thinking you'd modify the startup script to use the -user ..01:35
Darkstar1sarnold: except I always get asked for a password. but the user can't login01:35
sarnoldDarkstar1: what prompts you for the password? o_O01:36
Darkstar1sarnold: su -c "$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh" noone <====== when I run the script I get prompted for password because of this line01:38
sarnoldDarkstar1: check out the startup.sh file -- does it use 'jsvc' to start tomcat?01:39
Darkstar1nope01:40
sarnoldDarkstar1: can you pastebin that startup.sh?01:41
sarnoldDarkstar1: (the pastebinit package can make that easy :)01:41
Darkstar1http://fpaste.org/35331/01:43
Darkstar1that's from catalina.sh which the startup sctript calls01:43
sarnoldman that's gross. :)01:45
sarnoldDarkstar1: how about changing your su line to: su username --shell /bin/sh -c "/path/to/tomcat/home/bin/startup.sh"  ?01:51
sarnoldDarkstar1: perhaps $TOMCAT_HOME doesn't work in that location. and perhaps you need a shell for the command to be executed at all.01:52
sarnoldif your user doesn't have a shell, you may need to specify one here.01:52
Darkstar1sarnold: going to try out the daemons.sh : http://fpaste.org/35332/ which apparently can use jsvc01:53
sarnoldDarkstar1: oh yes! that's better. then you can just use --tomcat-user right there :)01:55
Darkstar1hope so01:57
* Darkstar1 crosses his fingers01:57
Darkstar1sarnold: getting a Cannot set group id for user 'apache-tomcat' with that.01:59
Darkstar1Error validating user 'apache-tomcat'01:59
Darkstar1it would seem creating a user with no home and no shell is problematic01:59
sarnoldDarkstar1: yeah, I'm not -too- surprised. set the home to the data directory and shell to either /bin/false or /bin/sh ..02:00
sarnoldDarkstar1: did you provide a primary group id in the passwd file too?02:00
Darkstar1sarnold: also su username --shell /bin/sh -c "/path/to/tomcat/home/bin/startup.sh" <== prompts for passwd02:01
Darkstar1that was executed from command line02:01
Darkstar1sarnold: no I didn't modify the passwd file when I created the user02:02
Darkstar1but it created one02:03
sarnoldDarkstar1: just to check, you are running that 'su' command as root, right?02:03
Darkstar1no02:03
sarnoldaha :)02:03
sarnoldrun it as root :)02:04
Darkstar1sarnold: thanks02:06
Darkstar1I was able to run the daemons command which uses jsvc and runs tomcat as the other user02:06
sarnoldDarkstar1: nice.02:07

Rabooi have some servers running ntpd and the time still drifts off for some strange reason07:10
Raboontpq -p shows that there is no offset or jitter..07:11
Raboontpdate -q shows a offset of 19 seconds07:12
sgranif the offset and jitter are actuall 0, then you're not connected07:12
sgranthere is always some offset and jitter07:13
Raboook07:13
Raboothen why does it list some servers?07:13
Rabooand why doesn't it reconnect?07:13
sgranyou're looking for a '*' at the start of the line in ntpq -p output - that will tell you you're actually syncing07:13
Raboook07:13
sgranit lists the servers it's trying to sync with07:14
sgranusually the st column has a high number, like 16, if you're not syncing07:14
Rabooyeah i got 1607:14
sgranyou want a low number (<=3) for it to be considered a good host for syncing07:14
sgranthis can be anything - a firewall might be blocking ntpd but not ntpdate (ntpd uses source port 123, ntpdate uses a high source port.  Some firewalls think this is bad and drop ntpd)07:16
sgranor the server you're trying to sync from is itself out of sync07:16
Rabooi use public07:16
sgranfirewall?07:16
Raboohttp://pastie.org/827637607:16
Raboonope07:16
Rabooif i stop ntpd07:17
Rabooand run ntpdate against  0.se.pool.ntp.org it works07:17
Rabooit fixes the time.. and I start ntpd again and after a while it drifts again07:17
Raboois there something wrong with my ntp.conf?07:18
sgranrun 'tcpdump port 123 -s0 -A -vvv -n' ; restart ntpd.  Pastebin 60 seconds of output07:20
sgranI'm on the train, so I may drop off but I'll look when I get connectivity again07:20
Raboook cool thanks07:22
Rabooohh crap07:26
Rabootcpdump listens on wrong interface07:26
Rabooi have to specify bond007:26
Raboosgran 0 packets captured07:31
Raboo5 packets received by filter07:31
Raboo0 packets dropped by kernel07:31
sgranRaboo: what I suspect and am asking tcpdump to confirm, is that you are sending traffic out and not getting a reply because of some network device dropping traffic with a low source port07:33
sgransince no traffic is leaving your machine, I now am considering your machine to be the thing stopping the traffic07:33
Raboowhy does ntpdate set the time correctly against same servers then?07:33
sgranbecause it is a different program, and uses a different source port, and runs as a different user and ...07:34
sgranthere's lots of things that could cause the difference07:34
Raboook07:36
sgrando you use any RBAC like apparmor or selinux?07:36
sgranDo you have host based firewall rules?07:36
sgranif you strace ntpd, do you see it trying to make outbound connections?  Do you see it succeed or fail?07:37
sgranthese are the sorts of things I'd consider07:37
Raboook07:37
Raboowell there is a firewall since this is not a public ip.. But I didn't think it would block outgoing traffic..07:38
Rabooand iptables is not running locally07:38
sgranif I were you, I'd start by trying to get a capture of ntpd traffic.  This involves the tcpdump above, and looking for traffic going out but not coming back in07:41
sgranthat will tell you conclusively where to start07:41
sgranif traffic goes out and comes in, you have a bad peer or a config problem.  If it goes out but not in, you have a firewall problem.  If it doesn't go out, you have something like an RBAC or local firewall problem07:42
Raboosgran ok i will start with strace07:42
Rabookan i run ntpd as root?07:43
sgranyou don't want or need to do that07:44
Raboook so i can run strace as ntp user07:45
Rabooas ntp it says "must be run as root, not uid 107"07:46
Rabooah it's a option to specify user07:50

disposablerbasak: the version in repositories isn't the newest (it's actually pretty old). my only experience is with chef and that installs around 40MB of stuff. it has a dependency on ohai, which is a daemon that runs every couple of minutes and scans system info (devices connected, IPs, etc). In my case, ohai was continuously spinning up disks that i wanted in standby so that bit was annoying but otherwise i would not go back to managing servers 08:35
rbasakdisposable: 40MB really is not significant for most users, or can you give me an example of where this is a problem for a significant number of users? I can't speak for chef, but I know that in puppet you can configure the automatic update interval, or turn it off entirely. Surely chef can do that too? puppet 3 is in Saucy, BTW. Not old!08:37
rbasakI have no problem with anyone who disagrees. But I don't think it's reasonable to recommend against chef and puppet to others, when in fact most of the world uses these tools.08:42
disposablerbasak: i did not recommend against anything. merely pointed out that for one-off configuration of multiple servers, they're overkill. especially if you have to learn them.08:46
disposablerbasak: since you use puppet, i'd like to know a few things. does the free version come with any king of web interface?08:46
rbasakNo. You must learn the DSL.08:47
disposablerbasak: s/king/kind08:47
rbasakYou can easily run it serverless, though.08:47
rbasakpuppet apply <file>08:47
rbasakThat will do a one off run, and "make it so".08:47
disposablehow does puppet set IPs? does it just use 'ip' or are there modules for persistent changes in /etc/network/interfaces?08:49
rbasakhttp://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html lists the built in resource types available. I don't manage IP from puppet (I don't personally think that makes sense). But you could do it by just maintaining /etc/network/interfaces as a file managed by puppet, though, using the "file" resource type.08:51
rbasakOh. There is a sutiable type available: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#interface08:51
rbasakHmm. Only for Cisco switches though!08:52

stluHello.11:46
stluI am looking for a tip on how to most efficiently get DNS servers to share information if they are in two different LANs.11:49
rbasakstlu: details?11:50
Rabooanyone good at reading strace?11:50
rbasak!anyone11:50
ubottuA high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll.11:50
Raboohttp://pastebin.com/yJHN1Zcf11:51
Raboomy ntpd doesn't update time. It seems like it doesn't connect to the ntp servers11:51
Raboorbasak i was just about to :-)11:51
Raboobut from what i can see in strace is that it tries to connect to the ntp servers?11:52
rbasakRaboo: if you think it's a network issue, it's easier to isolate using tcpdump. Filter for the right protocol. Eg. "sudo tcpdump -nieth0 port 123 or icmp".11:52
stlurbasak: I'm doing this all under virtualbox, as a learning project.11:53
Davieystlu: If 'information' is zone files, and the DNS server is bind9 - it can do AXFR's itself.11:54
stluDaviey; rbasak:  I read about the option to set a secondary dns, but if there are several Lans (say, like 8 or 9) then that will be a lot of transfers, no?11:55
Davieystlu: Yes, but it's designed to do this.  Only transfers when a zone file is modified11:56
stluI was thinking there might be a proper way to get the DNS in LAN #5, for example, to just point to the other DNS server addresses instead of being a secondary DNS for ALL of them...11:56
Davieyerm11:57
Davieyi think there is some confusion here...  is this for domains under your control?11:57
stluokay then, I was just thinking I might have had a gaping hole in my understanding.11:57
stluIt is true that there won't be many transfers after its up and running...11:58
stluDaviey: this is a learning project entirely under virtualbox, so yes, these LANs are all my creations.11:58
stluIf you'd care to know, I will share the setup with you...12:00
Davieystlu: I mean, are you talking about stlu.com, for example - that you are trying to manage?12:01
Davieyor is this to resolve google.com for example?12:01
stluWell, my bedroom is the domain, so I am managing "myroom.local"12:02
stluLAN #1 is vbox1.myroom.local, a network of virtual machines, with an accompanying DNS server for their addresses.12:03
DavieyAh.. erm. .local is usually not recommended.. that typically uses a different protocol called mDNS or Avahi12:04
stluits actually all going to fall into an address block 172.24.0.0, each DNS and so-called "lan" will have a block of 256 addresses, that I treat as a /24 network.12:04
stlu172.24.200.x is the LAN#1, and 172.24.201.x will be LAN#2, only special thing is seperate DNS servers.12:05
Davieyright.. but i am suggesting you use something other than .local to avoid confusion12:07
stluDaviey: oh, well, I lied.  My home router provides the domain "gateway.2wire.net" so I am not actually using local (but I had other plans to)12:07
stluI actually got the .local idea from a D-Link router that was defaulting to that.12:08
stluI looked at the IANA list of suffixes, they don't have a suffix reserved for LANs like I am making.12:09
Davieystlu: Ubuntu should disable mDNS / Avahi, but not worth risking it whilst learning IMO12:09
stluDaviey: totally agree, if I throw in too much unpredictability I won't gain any knowledge, just a headache.12:09
rbasakWith DNS, you don't usually have a separate DNS server per network. You might have a separate resolver per network, but they don't need anything special apart from being able to route to DNS servers.12:11
rbasakI'd put one DNS server on a single LAN, and if you want to experiment with secondaries, then put than on a LAN that can route to it and use AXFR. Then you'll be learning something closer to what might be used in the real world.12:12
rbasakYou can make DNS as obtuse as you want, but it'd just be prone to problems and I'm not sure that you'd learn anything useful out of it.12:12
rbasakJust make sure that either the LANs can all route to your DNS server, or that they use resolvers that can route to your DNS server.12:13
stlurbasak: hmm12:14

jamespageroaksoax, adam_g, yolanda, zul: updates for havana ca - http://people.canonical.com/~jamespage/ca/havana/12:26

stuxlofIt uses either megacli or megasasctl, I've got megacli running but it keeps returning with an exit code 0x00 when I try to use it, so I guess megasasctl is the proper one14:36
geserit shouldn't matter as ia32-libs installs additional 32bit libraries which can only be used by 32bit apps14:41
jamespageyolanda, horizon tests MP _ test are fine but needs a changelog entry!14:45

jonascjI would like to reinstall Ubuntu Server 12.04 and I have a mirror raid with two disks and two paritions on each with md0 being sda1 and sdb1, and md1 being sda2 and  sdb2. If I just make sure to untick "format" when I choose partition layout will I then keep my data on those mount points with "format" unticked?17:49
RoyKjonascj: the installer won't reformat md1 unless you do something stupid17:50
RoyKjonascj: make sure you have a backup, though, things sometimes don't go as planned17:50
hallyn_zul: what was the exact command line?17:56
hallyn_zul: you were trying ot exec the container name for some reason17:56
hallyn_d'oh17:56
hallyn_zul: lxc_start - ' ' is initialized17:56
hallyn_i think you did something like "lxc-start -n " " containername17:57
zulhallyn_: ?17:57
hallyn_you passed a space as the container name17:57
zulhallyn_:  oh doh...ill fix that17:58
hallyn_zul: ok17:58
jonascjRoyK: Thank you. I don't know how I forgot it, but I forgot to tell you that on top of the raid I have LVM. So i would like my vg0/root formatted but I would like to keep my vg0/home and vg0/var logical volumes. So during install should I choose to mount /var and /home to those location but untick "format" ?18:00
RoyKjonascj: same rules apply18:00
xnoxjonascj: in installer, enter manual partitioning, activate all raids, activate VGS, then manipulate the volumes as needed.18:02
xnoxjonascj: which ones to keep, which ones to format.18:02
jonascjxnox and RoyK: and we are in agreement on this: those mountpoints for which I uncheck "format" will retain their data?18:03
xnoxjonascj: and set to "do not use"18:08
RoyKjonascj: yes18:16
RoyKjonascj: but keep a backup nevertheless18:17
jonascjRoyK: I will when it matters. I'm just fooling around.18:17
RoyKjonascj: backups are usually most useful for people accidentially deleting their things, or some worm comes in and makes havoc18:17
RoyKjonascj: ok, go on, then :)18:18
jonascjRoyK: atm I'm actually such a big fool that I cannot remember why I have two raid devices. md0 is 2gb and md1 is 998gb and only md1 is part of my LVM. What the heck was I thinking to use those 2gb for :S Can I find out if something is on those 2gbs?18:19
sarnoldjonascj: you might have been trying to fit the /boot partition in the first N gigs of the disk for ease of use with lilo or similar..18:19
jonascjsarnold: you have high thoughts of me :P /boot is however on the LVM root logicial volume. Inside my system which resides on LVM on md1, can I peek at md0 and whatever is on there?18:21
RoyKjonascj: I usually make a small mirror for boot, then a larger one for swap and then something bigger for root - if the system doesn't have more than those two drives, I'll make a larger one for /home18:23
RoyKboot as in /boot18:23
jonascjroyk: sounds reasonable. What I have now is two physical disks and then two mirros. One which purpose I've forgot (2gb) and then one large for LVM on which I have different logical volumes (root, home and var)18:25
RoyKquite possibly the swap on those 2GB18:26
RoyKthe installer should autodetect that18:26
jonascjRoyK: sorry, i forgot swap, I have root, swap, home, and var as logical volumes. I think you are right, I probably intended them for a non-LVM /boot18:27
jonascjbut somehow failed that during install18:27
RoyKjonascj: with current systems, it's not really that important to have /boot on a separate partition18:28
RoyKjonascj: guess it's just bad habit18:28
jonascjroyk: and /boot on non LVM is also not necessary, grub2 handles lvm just fne18:28
RoyKindeed18:29
sarnoldRoyK: /boot on a different partition might -also- be with the idea that it need smirroring but the data partitions might do fine with raid5 or raid6 or raid10..18:29
jonascjsarnold: ah yes :) but not in my setup :P18:30
RoyKsarnold: somewhat, yes, but I never mix data disks and OS disks anyway18:30
RoyKsarnold: IMHO having data and OS on the same drives is bad, having it on the same partitions isn't good at all18:30
