[00:42] <a1fa> how does one report outage to ubuntu.com?
[00:42] <a1fa> it looks like the ports.ubuntu.com is down
[00:42] <a1fa> it went down while i was pulling an upgrade from the ports server :(
[00:43] <sarnold> a1fa: try us.ports.ubuntu.com, that's currently up and responding to me. perhaps it's part of a planned pile of hardware moves that are expected to take all weekend; I have'nt seen a list of affected services, though...
[00:44] <a1fa> sarnold : i cant change it, its part of a script ;( maybe i can put it into the hosts file
[00:44] <sarnold> a1fa: :( worth a shot, 91.189.91.11 for me...
[00:44] <a1fa> same here
[00:45] <a1fa> i'll put it into hosts file an dhopefully the script recovers
[00:45] <a1fa> otherwise, i need to do this from scratch
[00:46] <a1fa> nope, system locks the /etc/ file :( i am screwed
[00:47] <sarnold> a1fa: can you throw a dns recursor in the middle that you can configure to lie? pdns-recursor can be configured to serve a handful of hosts from /etc/hosts ..
[00:47] <a1fa> i could i suppose, i need to reconfigure a man in the middle gateway
[00:48] <a1fa> funny, / is rw, yet /etc/ is read only
[00:48] <a1fa> yet /etc is not a mount point
[00:48] <a1fa> and etc is not a symlink
[00:50] <a1fa> ewww ;( /dev/root is write protected
[00:50] <a1fa> oh well
[00:54] <a1fa> was there an annonouncment posted somewhere?
[00:57] <sarnold> a1fa: ah, sorry, my mistake, that was some QA hardware. I suspect this wasn't planned.
[00:57] <a1fa> looks like ubuntu.com is down now too
[00:57] <a1fa> and its back up
[00:58] <a1fa> and down again
[00:59] <a1fa> it looks like certain /24 segments are down
[01:07] <pmatulis> some canonical services are down.  folks aware
[01:09] <a1fa> ^^^
[01:09] <a1fa> no sheet
[01:09] <a1fa> :*
[01:10] <a1fa> they need to stop letting interns make network changes
[01:10] <a1fa> and ports is back now
[01:10] <a1fa> finally
[01:10] <a1fa> i think when they took down ubuntu.com someone finally realized they screwed up
[01:12] <a1fa> so mad
[01:14] <sarnold> "power problems" at one of the data centers
[01:15] <a1fa> lies :)
[01:15] <a1fa> get that interns head on the podium
[01:15] <sarnold> lol
[01:16] <a1fa> i am surprised they dont have power backup
[01:16] <a1fa> we have batteries + diesel generators
[01:16] <a1fa> in our datacenters
[01:24] <jkitchen> every datacenter has that.
[01:25] <jkitchen> mostly it's a matter of how much redundancy is involved and how long they can be online without grid power and where their replacement fuel comes from and how fast it shows up and such
[01:26] <a1fa> i am just saying it is highly unlikely it was power, unless they are hosting this thing in the philipines
[01:26] <a1fa> i had a dc in new jersey that lost power during sandy and was down for 7 days
[01:27] <a1fa> we had armed guards watching our diesel tanks, and we never lost power
[01:28] <a1fa> we lost power feed from the grid, but we made our own power for 7 days with armed guards watching the tanks
[01:30] <pmatulis> a1fa: you said that already
[01:31] <a1fa> had to re-word it, it did not sound right
[01:31] <a1fa> sarnold : where did you read this thing about power?
[01:31] <sarnold> a1fa: internal irc
[01:32] <a1fa> interesting
[01:33] <a1fa> the route never changed
[01:35] <a1fa> i guess they only lost certain racks
[01:35] <a1fa> 91.189.88.132 responded during the outage, 88.140 did not

[01:39] <a1fa> i wonder how much infrastructure is there between those two hosp
[01:39] <a1fa> hops
[01:43] <a1fa> sarnold do you know?
[01:43] <sarnold> a1fa: no idea, sorry
[01:44] <a1fa> surely it's a load balancer
[01:45] <a1fa> or not
[01:45] <a1fa> it looks as if they exposed this infrastructure to the internet, with no firewalls infront of it

[01:47] <a1fa> squid reverse proxy
[01:50] <a1fa> sarnold : can you pass a message to them
[01:50] <a1fa> sarnold : some things are still down
[01:51] <a1fa> sarnold : ie, https://help.ubuntu.com/community
[01:51] <sarnold> a1fa: heh, yeah, there's quite a lot down at the moment
[01:51] <a1fa> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/
[01:51] <a1fa> its also exponsing all their infrastructure
[01:51] <sarnold> a1fa: there's extensive monitoring in place with end-to-end service checks for nearly everything; it'll all show up..
[01:52] <sarnold> heh, the wiki worked for me. I wonder why..
[01:52] <a1fa> maybe i am cached to a bad server

[04:39] <leif_> greetings

[06:53] <HiddenDjinn> can you set postfix to handle multiple domains without setting the hostname each time in /etc/hostname?
[07:04] <andol> HiddenDjinn: That really depends what you want to do, but most likely the solution involves virtual_alias_domains alt. mydestination.
[07:05] <HiddenDjinn> andol, ok...
[07:07] <andol> HiddenDjinn: Also, running your own mail server really isn't the thing one wants to do without reading a bit of documentation...
[07:07] <HiddenDjinn> andol, read a few docs, a few more guides, just had that particular question
[07:07] <HiddenDjinn> andol, following a guide on it
[07:08] <leif_> morning from denmark
[13:16] <goc> hello lads and gals i have a problem, im running ubuntu 13.10 and i have installed lamp, everything is fine and running but the problem is i cant find the root apache2 folder
[13:16] <goc> its not in /var/www
[13:16] <goc> not in /home and my cfg file i empty
[13:16] <goc> hope someone can help me, thanking you in advance
[13:17] <goc> also i am new to linux switched yesterday from windows had enough of it im amazed with linux as i am confused
[14:06] <sabgenton> what is in $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND  and how do you get it to exist?
[16:16] <HiddenDjinn> where does mail typically log its activity?
[16:30] <HiddenDjinn> ok, i think i have a problem
[16:31] <HiddenDjinn> i can receive mail fine, but other mail hosts are refusing to talk to postfix so that i can send a test mail
[16:54] <hypoclone> hello room can i get anyone to help with installation and configuration of postfix on 12.04?
[16:56] <hypoclone> i need help installing and configuring postfix on 12.04 can anyone help please
[16:56] <a1fa> anyone familiar with wpa_supplicant here?
[16:56] <a1fa> this thing is so confused
[16:58] <hypoclone> hello i need help installing and configuring postfix on 12.04 can anyone help please
[16:59] <qman__> it is very well covered in the server guide, please read it first
[17:01] <adej> i need help installing and configuring postfix on 12.04 can anyone help please
[17:03] <adej> does anyone care to help installing and configuring postfix on 12.04 can anyone help please
[17:04] <qman__> adej, please stop spamming the channel and read the server guide, that topic is extremely well covered in it
[17:05] <adej> qman am not spamming i am new  to irc and i need help aint that is what this is about
[17:07] <qman__> adej, I see five repeats in the last half hour, that is spamming; postfix is the main mail server used on ubuntu and it is covered in great detail in the server guide, which is in the topic
[17:08] <qman__> if you have a more specific issue that is not covered there, then come back and ask
[17:24] <Beatstreet> when I created a software RAID during OS install I had to select "physical volume for RAID" on the drive I was using as part of the RAID
[17:25] <Beatstreet> if I want to later format the drive
[17:25] <Beatstreet> just to clean the drive and then readd to RAID
[17:26] <Beatstreet> I see commands for formatting like "sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1"
[17:26] <Beatstreet> but what is the command if it's not an ext3 device but rather a RAID device?
[17:26] <qman__> "physical volume for RAID" is just a partition type, which is different from a normal linux filesystem partition
[17:27] <qman__> if you want to erase the disk, you should zero it, not create a filesystem
[17:27] <Beatstreet> the drive is having issues and I was hoping a reformat might clear it up - last try before replaceing
[17:28] <qman__> it won't
[17:28] <qman__> if you want to check the disk, use smartmontools
[17:28] <Beatstreet> it's not failing read/write on smartmontools
[17:28] <qman__> what sort of issue
[17:29] <qman__> crashing? corrupt data? dropping out of the array?
[17:29] <Beatstreet> the box locks up after the RAID starts and I am seeing errors in smartmontools, no issues with short/long test though
[17:30] <qman__> oh, the tests don't mean much
[17:30] <qman__> the error log is what matters
[17:30] <qman__> if there are errors in the log, it's bad
[17:30] <Beatstreet> ATA Error Count: 12 (device log contains only the most recent five errors)
[17:30] <qman__> yep, time to replace
[17:31] <Beatstreet> no chance it's just a bad sector?
[17:31] <Beatstreet> that I can work around
[17:31] <qman__> nope
[17:31] <qman__> that sort of methodology hasn't worked since drives were sub-10GB
[17:31] <qman__> modern hard disks don't work that way
[17:31] <qman__> if the drive is locking up, and there are errors in the log, it needs replaced
[17:32] <Beatstreet> ok, thanks qman__
[17:32] <qman__> modern drives have some extra space on them they use to remap bad sectors
[17:32] <qman__> once they run out of remap space, it's over
[17:32] <qman__> you might see one bad sector, but that means there were actually at least a few dozen
[17:33] <Beatstreet> sucks - 3TB drives are no cheap
[17:33] <Beatstreet> *not
[17:34] <qman__> yeah
[17:34] <qman__> if it's under warranty, that's good enough to get it replaced
[17:34] <qman__> at least with seagate, I haven't had to do a WD yet under those conditions
[17:34] <Beatstreet> Error 12 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 19422 hours (809 days + 6 hours)
[17:34] <Beatstreet> it's old - got my moneys worth I guess
[17:54] <Clem> Hello, how can I install php5.3 by apt-get install php5-fpm in 12.04LTS?
[17:55] <Clem> It says "The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[17:55] <Clem>  php5-fpm : Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.8) but 5.5.5+dfsg-1+debphp.org~precise+2 is to be installed". What's the matter?
[19:43] <HiddenDjinn> ok, i got postfix working, finally
[20:20] <gyre007> guys I have the following network config, and I'm wondering why when I start the container it doesn't get IP address assigned ? https://gist.github.com/milosgajdos83/7389533
[20:21] <gyre007> this is macvlan in vepa mode....for example if I create a container in veth mode it DOES get an IP assigned automatically....
[20:21] <gyre007> do I need to create separate bridge for this ?
[20:43] <ubun>  I setuped a bind9 server with ubuntu behind my router, the router uses a dhcp server for my lan-network, can I use the DNs server like this way or should he has his own dhcp sever?
[20:52] <BadRobot> Hi, hoping for a bit of help please, I've got 2 nearly ident nginx & php5-fpm configs, the only difference is the document root folder, the URL (it is a sub domain of the working config) and the unix socket name. the root domain config has been working fine for months, but the new subdomain config will not & throws 111:connection refused in the nginx log.  I have an appropriate php5-fpm config in fpm/pool.d for it, am I missing
[20:52] <Thomas_> Hi  Trying to upgrade a server to 13.10 via 'sudo apt-get install update-manager-core;do-release-upgrade -d' but getting error message 'ImportError: No module named apt'. Any help?

[21:17] <logic_prog> I'm runnning a server on ubuntu and need to simulate dropped connections. Is there a linux tool that will randomly close / re-open port 8080 ?
[21:17] <logic_prog> perferably something that does not require running sudo
[22:02] <Thomas_> Hi  I updated to Ubuntu 13.10 and all apache virtual hosts have stopped working? They're all still listed in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled but when visiting any of them I see just the 'It works!' page. Also there are virtual hosts in /etc/apache2/sites-available but if I 'a2ensite something' it says 'ERROR: Site does not exist'
[22:08] <Thomas_> Updated to 13.10 and now get "You don't have permission to access / on this server." when visiting any apache virtual hosts??????
[22:08] <Thomas_> They're all enabled etc.
[22:25] <Rory> Thomas_: What is in /var/log/apache2/error.log (or similar)
