[00:48] <Shirakawasuna> Hi all! I'm looking to deploy ubuntu to 10-20 servers  - most for building a small cluster, one for running a website. I'm running into an issue of not knowing which option to choose for making this a somewhat automated process (installation + management of the software). Any opinions on using MAAS vs. cobbler vs. FAI vs. anything else?
[00:48] <jkitchen> Shirakawasuna: I use foreman and puppuet to manage about 30 physical servers and 70 VMs
[00:50] <Shirakawasuna> jkitchen: cool
[00:51] <Shirakawasuna> jkitchen: Would you recommend reading anything outside of the official docs for those tools?
[00:51] <Shirakawasuna> I'm very new to administrating more than one or two computers
[01:11] <jkitchen> I'd recommend reading all sorts of things
[01:12] <jkitchen> you might also want to evaluate other config management tools like chef, cfengine, etc
[01:12] <jkitchen> depending on your needs / preferences
[01:12] <jkitchen> they're all a bit different
[01:12] <jkitchen> foreman/puppet is just what I use
[01:32] <Shirakawasuna> jkitchen: cool, I'll look into chef and cfengine as well
[01:32] <Shirakawasuna> thanks!
[01:32] <jkitchen> Shirakawasuna: you're welcome, good luck!
[01:32] <jkitchen> you might also want to hit up some local devops meetups
[04:49] <njbair> I'm trying to install the Event MPM for Apache, but apparently I've got some incompatible modules installed. Any way to tell what those are?
[04:50] <jkitchen> njbair: logs?
[04:50] <jkitchen> apachectl -t
[04:50] <jkitchen> etc
[04:51] <njbair> jkitchen: well apparently it has to do with APT, not Apache itself
[04:52] <jkitchen> oh, apt is saying incompatible modules?
[04:52] <njbair> apache will let you use buggy modules, but APT won't
[04:52] <njbair> well no
[04:52] <njbair> it's just silently falling back to the prefork MPM
[04:52] <njbair> even though I've installed apache2-mpm-event
[04:54] <njbair> wait
[04:55] <njbair> it's not APT
[04:55] <njbair> it was the a2enmod and a2dismod scripts
[04:55] <njbair> I was working off of a crappy doc
[04:55] <jkitchen> ok
[04:56] <jkitchen> I'm not really sure how ubuntu's apache selects an mpm to be honest :D
[04:56] <jkitchen> looks like it sets a /usr/sbin/apache2 symlink
[04:56] <njbair> the blog I was reading made it look like all you had to do was install the correct MPM package
[04:56] <jkitchen> in theory, yes.
[04:57] <njbair> well you also have to a2dismod mpm_prefork, then a2enmod mpm_event
[04:57] <jkitchen> ah ok
[04:57] <njbair> those scripts have conflict resolution
[04:58] <njbair> they look for enabled modules that are flagged as unstable with the mpm in question
[05:18] <CryptoKing> can someone give us a hand with ubuntu server, i tried to set up static ip but something went wrong how do i get my dhcp working again
[05:20] <lickalott> CryptoKing paste the content of /etc/network/interfaces (pastebin)
[05:20] <CryptoKing> can not ssh in
[05:21] <CryptoKing> i will paste bin what i changed to make it static, i think i know where i went wrong
[05:21] <CryptoKing> http://pastebin.com/KuSqCqBC
[05:22] <CryptoKing> so i think  eth0 should of been eth1 on this machine
[05:22] <lickalott> I'm guessing that you didn't backup the original interfaces file?
[05:23] <lickalott> where is the server located?
[05:23] <lickalott> CryptoKing ^
[05:23] <CryptoKing> thats why its blank :(
[05:24] <CryptoKing> na i didnt
[05:25] <CryptoKing> any hope with out doing a fresh install ?
[05:25] <lickalott> do you have physical access to the machine?
[05:25] <CryptoKing> yeah
[05:25] <lickalott> i can send you the content of a "fresh" interface file
[05:26] <CryptoKing> thanks you would save me alot of time
[05:26] <lickalott> I actually had the same issue.  Ended up just setting it in my router as "preferred" and it dished out the same IP all the time
[05:26] <lickalott> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6581969/
[05:26] <CryptoKing> yeah, i got the static working with my order machine
[05:27] <CryptoKing> and with out thinking just copied the same into new vi
[05:27] <lickalott> always, always, ALWAYS make a backup before you mess with system files.  i learned the hard way....(rebuild)
[05:27] <CryptoKing> on new rig
[05:27] <lickalott> ahhh
[05:27] <lickalott> been there
[05:28] <CryptoKing> i didnt even think about looking at device name
[05:28] <CryptoKing> i just assumed with was eth0
[06:17] <lickalott> anyone still here?  Still looking for a good image/backup option.  i've tried FSarchiver but can't get it to install.  CLonezilla is a pita beacuse I don't want to have to reboot everytime I want an image. (plus no one knows how to successfully get it installed on a system) and dd is just too much.  i don't want the ENTIRE content of the drive, just whats used.
[06:32] <KLVTZ> I'm having trouble creating a virtual host on my Ubuntu 13.10 OS. I have created added the proper line to my hosts file. I have added the corect conf file to sites-available folder and symbolically to the sites-enabled folder. I have added the proper scipt in them and have restarted. I can use the virtual host as an address but it redirects back to my localhost. The url keeps the proper virtual host but it renders the /var/www/index.p
[06:32] <KLVTZ> I can provide any documentation or scripts necessary
[06:33] <cfhowlett> KLVTZ, it sometimes (well, frequently ...) happens that this channel is quiet.  If no response is a reasonable amount of time, please return to #ubuntu and post your query
[06:33] <KLVTZ> Thank you, but I was formally told that #ubuntu was not proper
[06:33] <KLVTZ> they asked what the point of ubuntu-server is if no one bothers going to it
[06:34] <KLVTZ> i understood that I upsetted the person :/
[06:34] <KLVTZ> But thank you for the fast reply.
[06:35] <mmazing> so KLVTZ - don't mind that bullshit from the other channel, even in the MOTD it says that server versions are supported in #ubuntu
[06:35] <mmazing> people in linux help channels (many times) were born with too many sticks in their ass
[06:39] <mmazing> so by the way, could you go to pastebin, or another site that you can paste text into and give us the conf file in sites-available for the vhost you are trying to set up?
[06:43] <KLVTZ> Thanks man! I will do that right now
[06:44] <KLVTZ> And I do know they are a bit touchy but I don't want to upset anyone xD
[06:48] <KLVTZ> @mmazing here it is http://pastebin.com/9AK2YyDG
[06:52] <mmazing> try changing to <VirtualHost *:80> instead of what you have
[06:52] <TJ-> KLVTZ: What do you get from "sudo apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS"
[06:54] <KLVTZ> I'm going to do mmazing recommendation and then ill do yours TJ -just give me one minute -thank you
[06:56] <mmazing> and .. just in case you aren't doing this, are you "service apache2 restart" after editing conf files in sites-available/sites-enabled ?
[06:58] <KLVTZ> @TJ- this is interesting: http://pastebin.com/6B32PmCM
[07:00] <KLVTZ> i just use the rest and now its say laravel.dev is not found
[07:00] <KLVTZ> restart*
[07:01] <mmazing> take out the "ServerAlias" line
[07:01] <mmazing> and restart again
[07:01] <TJ-> KLVTZ: <VirtualHost *:80> should do the trick, as mmazing said
[07:03] <KLVTZ> @mmazing, I removed the ServerAlias and restarted. It renders my /var/www folder and not my /var/www/laravel etc etc folder
[07:05] <TJ-> KLVTZ: ServerAlias won't affect this; that is just an alternate name for the vhost. Remove the "NameVirtualHost" option, the re-run the config check
[07:06] <mmazing> TJ-: i was thinking that the "laravel.dev is not found" was causing apache to not start, i guess it was a warning
[07:06] <TJ-> mmazing: My next question to KLVTZ is show us the output of "cat /etc/hosts"
[07:07] <TJ-> mmazing: KLVTZ The default host is getting the requests for 127.0.0.1 which you'd expect... because the VHOST is incorrect
[07:09] <KLVTZ> So you want a cat of of my hosts?
[07:11] <KLVTZ> Here is my new 001-laravel.dev.conf file
[07:11] <KLVTZ> http://pastebin.com/zsNZM2g5
[07:11] <TJ-> KLVTZ: just to be sure that basic name resolution is configured... also "cat /etc/nsswitch.conf"
[07:12] <KLVTZ> @TJ- @mmazing here is a cat of my /etc/hosts  http://pastebin.com/9Lc4E8kq
[07:13] <KLVTZ> @TJ- here is a cat of my nsswitch.conf http://pastebin.com/E9SENWLH
[07:16] <KLVTZ> If the VHOST is incorrect, how should i change the basic name resolution. Or specifically where?
[07:17] <TJ-> KLVTZ: firstly, as you only have "laravel.dev" in /etc/hosts, you should match that in the apache vhost config file "ServerName laravel.dev" - there is no "www."
[07:19] <KLVTZ> THAT DID IT!
[07:19] <KLVTZ> Rain is falling from the heavans
[07:20] <KLVTZ> children are exploding against walls and glitter is zooming through the air
[07:20] <KLVTZ> people will ask who that amazing being is
[07:20] <KLVTZ> an it's TJ!
[07:20] <KLVTZ> but i will also take mmazing!
[07:20] <KLVTZ> damn it was that simple
[07:20] <KLVTZ> xD
[07:20] <cfhowlett> !cookie|TJ-,
[07:20] <cfhowlett> !beer
[07:21] <KLVTZ> TJ I would personally buy you a beer
[07:21] <KLVTZ> if i could
[07:21] <KLVTZ> xD
[07:21] <KLVTZ> Thank you so much!
[07:24]  * TJ- sips the coffee
[07:26] <mmazing> heh it was mostly TJ- :)
[07:26] <mmazing> i'm very tired
[07:27] <TJ-> mmazing: me too... woke up early (3am) and now regretting it
[07:28] <KLVTZ> Where you guys at?
[07:28] <mmazing> i've had a looooong day of family xmas and have had about the last hour of my day to deal with my computer
[07:28] <KLVTZ> I'm in Cal
[07:28] <KLVTZ> Damn. It's 80 here during the day
[07:29] <KLVTZ> i really wish for at least rain :(
[07:29] <TJ-> UK here... 07:28
[07:29] <mmazing> it was 20 F here a few days ago
[07:29] <KLVTZ> Now that's a great time
[07:29] <TJ-> And I'm wishing for sun and warmth... want to swap? :)
[07:29] <KLVTZ> damnn brrrr
[07:29] <KLVTZ> Yeah TJ let's switch!
[07:29] <KLVTZ> My gift for you lol
[07:29] <mmazing> where in cali? LA?
[07:30] <mmazing> im in kansas, i have family in san diego and LA though
[07:30] <TJ-> Ha... as long as you walk both Huskies and bath them afterwards!
[07:30] <mmazing> im ... not a fan of LA
[07:31] <mmazing> my business partner recently moved to where i am from LA, and they are freaking out about how cold it is here haha
[07:33] <mmazing> also, on top of my 14+ hour day of extended family xmas, i came home to my dog having destroyed my front door :\
[07:34] <mmazing> he even had people over to feed/water/let him out
[07:37] <KLVTZ> @mmazing, I'm in irvine at the moment!
[07:37] <KLVTZ> I head back to a slightly colder climate in the High Desert next week'
[07:37] <KLVTZ> at least there, at night, its 15 F
[07:37] <KLVTZ> I would always recommend a person who comes to visit cali to visit northern cali
[07:38] <KLVTZ> its like a different stat
[07:38] <KLVTZ> state8
[07:38] <KLVTZ> Norcal vs Socal
[07:38] <KLVTZ> a huge difference
[07:40] <mmazing> yeah, i've driven a bit in northern california, was nice, the only part i seem to despise is LA haha
[07:40] <mmazing> i even like san diego
[07:40] <mmazing> i lived in boston for 3 years too, it's not the population density, it's the people
[07:40] <mmazing> i can't even describe it
[07:51] <inq> hi
[07:52] <inq> after migrating a php web app i am getting redirect loop error. i have total two htaccess files one for moodle and another for jooml. first htaccess http://paste.ubuntu.com/6582362/ and second file http://paste.ubuntu.com/6582364/
[07:52] <inq> its not my code. i got this app to add some features.
[07:52] <inq> please help me to remove this redirect error.
[07:58] <KLVTZ> Your system headers are looping endlessly means somewhere in your app, your file is redirecting. How large is your app?
[07:58] <KLVTZ> Your best bet is to deduct from your current app file.
[07:59] <KLVTZ> I'm pretty sure a .htaccess file is preventing you, unless your rewrite rules are somehow upsetting your request. I'll take a look
[07:59] <KLVTZ> pretty sure it is not*
[07:59] <KLVTZ> pretty sure it is not preventing you.
[08:00] <inq> KLVTZ: app is too larg.
[08:00] <KLVTZ> ok
[08:00] <inq> KLVTZ: how do i solve this redirect loop error?
[08:00] <KLVTZ> First off, you mention that your getting a redirect after you migtated an app?
[08:00] <inq> KLVTZ: this is not my app. i got it to extend further. so i setup test server on rackspace. original web app is on aws.
[08:00] <KLVTZ> migrated*
[08:01] <KLVTZ> And it's working on aws?
[08:01] <inq> KLVTZ: yes firefox and chromium tells redirect loop
[08:01] <inq> KLVTZ: yes. i did not touched aws. becasue that is developed be previous developer.
[08:01] <inq> its working fine on aws.
[08:02] <inq> by*
[08:02] <KLVTZ> Alright. Hmmm and those two .htaccess files are on aws as well?
[08:02] <inq> yes.
[08:02] <inq> it exact copy of aws.
[08:02] <inq> i only changed the ip address.
[08:03] <inq> there were many links for original aws web app in the database too. so i first changed link in database to point to new rackspace. and then migrated the web app.
[08:04] <inq> does changing "localhost" to "actual_ip_address" makes any difference?
[08:04] <KLVTZ> are you on an SSL load balancer?
[08:04] <inq> there is no ssl on original aws web app.
[08:04] <inq> and i dont know what is ssl load balancer.
[08:05] <KLVTZ> check out this
[08:05] <KLVTZ> http://www.localwisdom.com/blog/2012/10/htaccess-ssl-redirect-on-rackspace-cloud-sites/
[08:06] <inq> KLVTZ: but the original website do not ake use of ssl certificates. i checked with the owner. moodle has something inbuild to handle encryption.
[08:07] <inq> i read that article. but we dont have ssl.
[08:07] <KLVTZ> hmmm :|
[08:10] <KLVTZ> can do you try out something? I'm not sure if it will work but put in both htaccess: RewriteBase /
[08:11] <KLVTZ> and then restart server
[08:13] <KLVTZ> brb
[08:14] <inq> KLVTZ: tried rewrite base /. it still gives error this page is not redirecting properly.
[08:15] <inq> KLVTZ: does two seperate .htacces one for  moodle and one for joomla makes it complex and cause error?
[08:20] <KLVTZ> Are those two htacess files in the same directory?
[08:23] <inq> KLVTZ: no
[08:27] <TJ-> inq: Increase the RewiteLogLevel and check the log to see precisely what is being done
[08:27] <inq> TJ-: ok

[13:39] <TitoN> Hi i just got a dell r320 but after completed installation it stops before grub even loads.....it sits on looking for devices
[13:39] <smb> zul, Could you replace your version of ubuntu-xend-probe.patch with the one in my home on chinstrap before the official upload of libvirt-1.2.0 to Trusty, please. That should fix the libxl detection again.
[13:40] <TitoN> I did a raid 1....ended up with 1 virtual drive..... but i asume that is the problem..... maybe i should change ahci to raid instead
[13:40] <zul> smb:  yep
[13:40] <smb> Ta
[13:44] <TitoN> Anyone?
[15:00] <hallyn_> rbasak: i opened bugs 1261416 and 1261419 - not sure how involved you want to be.
[15:03] <rbasak> hallyn_: thanks. It's on my list, though don't know how involved I can get in it. If uvtool needs features to support those use cases, I can certainly look at adding those.

[16:37] <sarnold> hallyn_: did you get your EPERM sorted out? were you starting the program via a strace'd shell / terminal? you might need to grand capbility sys_trace to the tracer..
[16:42] <hallyn_> sarnold: yeah thanks, got past that.
[16:42] <hallyn_> sarnold: i thought things used to be more consistent re EPERM vs EACCES
[16:42] <hallyn_> but when non-root tries to read a roto file i'm getting EACCES...
[16:43] <hallyn_> sarnold: thanks :)
[16:44] <sarnold> hallyn_: tbh the handful of times I thought I understood the EPERM vs EACCES errors, I was probably just deluding myself :) hehe
[16:50] <hallyn_> sarnold: i'm pretty sure it used to be that EACCESS meant lsm denied it

[20:34] <RealKillaz> Hi there guys
[20:35] <RealKillaz> The last couple of months we have been hit very hard by crashes of various servers running ubuntu 10.04
[20:35] <RealKillaz> Some of them in different locations....
[20:36] <RealKillaz> First question: how can I find out why a server crashed in the logs?  We've been looking and searching .. no luck
[20:37] <RealKillaz> Is there like a action plan to follow.... to find out the root cause of the crash?
[20:40] <pmatulis> RealKillaz: study linux-crashdump package
[20:41] <pmatulis> a recent ubuntu server guide has a writeup
[20:47] <lickalott> gents, still looking for backup options.
[20:56] <lickalott> i've messed with FSarchiver, but can't configure because of some blkid issue (no googling will help apparently).  I've done a dd copy but I don't want the entire drive "imaged" when less than 1/2 is actually used, and clonezilla is a little too intrusive (i.e. reboot to get an image).  So I'm looking for help with either other options or to install clonezilla to the hdd.
[20:57] <phunyguy> lickalott, please don't crosspost :(
[21:03] <RealKillaz> pmatulis, looks good thank you... will look into it
[22:56] <lickalott> I can never get answers in here.  I've literally been asking for 3 days and the ONLY person to even say anything was you phunyguy
[22:59] <sarnold> lickalott: check out rsnapshot, rdiff, tarsnap (not free, not locally hosted, but looks neat). check out duplicity
[23:00] <lickalott> I F*ckin love you sarnold
[23:00] <lickalott> thank you!
[23:00] <sarnold> :)
[23:12] <lickalott> really?  that's specifically why I added the *
[23:12] <lickalott> ^^ wasn't towards you sarnold
[23:27] <phunyguy> lickalott: just because you put the *, doesn't NOT make it a swear.
[23:27] <phunyguy> lickalott: so please try to keep it family friendly.
[23:27] <lickalott> rog
[23:28] <phunyguy> lickalott: also, sidenote, did someone else say something to you about it too?
[23:28] <phunyguy> because I didn't see it... wonder what is going on with Freenodeexample.
[23:28] <phunyguy> err accidental paste
[23:29] <lickalott> got a pm from ubottu.
[23:29] <phunyguy> because I didn't see it... wonder what is going on with Freenode.**
[23:29] <phunyguy> oh, ubottu is a bot.
[23:29] <phunyguy> someone probably sent that to you.
[23:29] <phunyguy> that is why I clarified.
[23:29] <lickalott> yeah, someone sent it.  But i'm not gonna call them out publicly.
[23:29] <phunyguy> it's all good.  Just have to keep it clean. :)
[23:30] <lickalott> it's just funny.  i could've not added the * (like most other douches on irc) but i specficially chose to do it to mask the actual word, yet I still get my balls busted over it.  Not a big deal, but there was intent to keep it clean.
