[00:14] <keithzg> This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but does anyone know of a decent way to wait for, and be notified of, specific events on a serial port? Say for instance when you get a RING?
[00:15] <holstein> script an email?
[00:16] <hitsujiTMO> keithzg: is anything using that serial port?
[00:16] <sarnold> keithzg: select() on the filedescriptor, and then read from the port when it's ready?
[00:16] <sarnold> (noting that I have no idea if select() works on serial devices... I suspect it does..)
[00:18] <keithzg> hitsujiTMO: Yeah, things are using the serial port, my officemate is trying to catch specific events so he can try and debug what's being passed between two things.
[00:20] <keithzg> sarnold: Aha, yeah that sounds like it might work. Although I think my officemate is leery of having to actually write something to do this with, was hoping for something prefabbed, heh.
[00:20] <hitsujiTMO> keithzg: i'm not an expert on this but afaik anything accessing a serial interface will lock the interface
[00:24] <hitsujiTMO> keithzg: personally i'd look into some sort of man in the middle attack or a splitter cable
[00:43] <pao> Good Day Everyone, I have a problem with an old ibm eserver xseries 225 using ubuntu server 12.04 at first boot it will only show blank screen after grub and when I hard reset it it will show grub and boot ubuntu and fallback to busybox, when I exit busybox it will load the server and run normally.
[00:46] <hitsujiTMO> pao: edit the grub entry and remove "quiet splash" from the linux boot line. his should at least give you a move verbose output so you can see the problem
[00:52] <pao> ok thanks hitsujiTMO
[02:34] <pao> Anyone here using old ibm eserver xseries 225 with 12.04?
[02:46] <pao> I have a problem on ioc1 after Attached SCSI disk and it will fallback to BusyBox? Using IBM eServer xseries 225 but after exiting busy box the server will load normally?

[02:55] <TheLordOfTime> can someone help me translate iptables ICMP rules into ip6tables ICMP rules?
[02:56]  * TheLordOfTime is trying to duplicate his ruleset that he has in iptables so it works in ip6tables as well
[02:56] <TheLordOfTime> these are the icmp rules i have for v4: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6753999/
[02:57] <TheLordOfTime> if there's any i should have but am missing (for a standard desktop system firewall) please let me know
[03:05] <Patrickdk> hmm, unlike ipv4, there are a LOT MORE icmp6 types
[03:09] <pao> here my some of my dsmeg output when it falls to busybox http://paste.ubuntu.com/6754041/
[03:11] <TheLordOfTime> Patrickdk: so basically, i should just allow all ICMPv6 types?
[03:12] <Patrickdk> you could
[03:12] <pao> my dmesg all the fallback will occur at line 307 http://paste.ubuntu.com/6754046/ using IBM eServer xseries 225 maybe scsi drive problem? or something else?
[03:13] <Patrickdk> want to see mine?
[03:13] <TheLordOfTime> Patrickdk: if you want to share :)
[03:13] <Patrickdk> I'll warn you it's short and floppy
[03:13] <TheLordOfTime> at this point i just need the icmp ruleset
[03:13] <TheLordOfTime> that's better than having none :P
[03:14] <Patrickdk> isn't there a *wide* pastebin somewhere?
[03:15] <Patrickdk> http://pastebin.ca/2540658
[03:17] <TheLordOfTime> that's a lot of rules o.O
[03:17] <Patrickdk> not really
[03:18] <Patrickdk> ip6tables -L -nv | wc -l == 1228 lines
[03:18] <TheLordOfTime> :P
[03:18] <Patrickdk> and that is on a *simple* firewall
[03:19] <ruben231> hi guys ia hve install apache2 on my ubutnu server but i accidentalyl dleted the  default index.html adn index.php <-----------------how do i resolve this gusy somehow
[03:19] <Patrickdk> ah, the more complex one doesn't make it much more, only 1445 lines
[03:19] <Patrickdk> it's just the basic 800 or so, that makes it a lot
[03:19] <TheLordOfTime> mhm
[03:20] <TheLordOfTime> the ICMP is what i'm really kinda worried about, because this system has pretty much every other port already blocked with a REJECT rule at the end of the INPUT table
[03:21] <Patrickdk> it's so much easier if you make it it's own chain
[03:21] <Patrickdk> AllowedICMP6 :)
[03:46] <TheLordOfTime> Patrickdk: indeed

[11:14] <hXm> hi, does not exist an official package for use google drive?
[11:16] <ikonia> ask google
[11:16] <cfhowlett> hXm, not for linux/ubuntu    ask #google
[11:17] <hXm> but in google I saw there is a community version called grive but not in official repository
[11:17] <cfhowlett> hXm, and what does that tell you?
[11:17] <cfhowlett> hXm, nevermind; rhetorical.  short answer; google promised official client.  still waiting on that.
[11:17] <hXm> how trustable that package is, but I think is not so popular, so I will ask @google
[11:18] <cfhowlett> hXm, if it didn't come *from* google they likely won't support it.
[11:18] <hXm> thanks for your respond, cfhowlett  included the question

[13:15] <yolanda> jamespage: https://code.launchpad.net/~yolanda.robla/charms/precise/glance/ceph_alternatives/+merge/201771
[13:16] <hitsujiTMO> sander^work: encrypted with what? luks?
[13:16] <sander^work> hitsujiTMO, It's the default ubuntu way of encrypting root partition.
[13:17] <Patrickdk> default ways change
[13:17] <hitsujiTMO> sander^work: http://askubuntu.com/questions/63594/mount-encrypted-volumes-from-command-line
[13:18] <hitsujiTMO> sander^work: thats for luks, ubuntus default
[13:18] <sander^work> Patrickdk, it's in the latest ubuntu 13.10
[13:19] <Patrickdk> yes, but you didn't specify a version, so how would we know
[13:19] <sander^work> Understand.
[13:22] <sander^work> How do I figure out the encryption string to use for decryption? I suppose it's stored somewhere encrypted with the root password?
[13:22] <Patrickdk> no, that is not possible
[13:23] <Patrickdk> when you encrypted it, you would have had to memorized it
[13:23] <cfhowlett> sander^work, if you could figure out the encryption string that would rather defeat the purpose, no?
[13:24] <hitsujiTMO> sander^work: you find it out by discovering the cure to amnesia
[13:25] <sander^work> I think I didnt write down the encryption string when I installed the os. But it promted me that I also could use the root password some way. But maybe i've misunderstood.
[13:26] <cfhowlett> sander^work, you did indeed.
[13:26] <sander^work> cfhowlett, hitsujiTMO Patrickdk: How does the os then decrypts it?
[13:26] <Patrickdk> you type in the decryption password
[13:26] <cfhowlett> !encryption
[13:27] <Patrickdk> wrong factoid
[13:27] <sander^work> I don't when I boot the os.
[13:27] <Patrickdk> then you don't have an encrypted root
[13:27] <hitsujiTMO> sander^work: you either type in the password, or insert the usb containing the key depending on how its set up. by default its a password
[13:30] <sander^work> I crossed off for encrypted disk when I installed the os. I probably only have an encrypted home dir then?
[13:30] <Patrickdk> sounds like it
[13:30] <sander^work> How do I decrypt that then?
[13:30] <sander^work> Same way?
[13:31] <Patrickdk> ubottu just posted the url
[13:31] <sander^work> Ok, thanks!

[16:22] <strixUK> afternoon all.  i have a problem with / on an md (raid1) + lvm volume on a fresh install of server 13.10.  i've traced things as far as udev, but i have no idea how udev works or where to look next
[16:23] <strixUK> the specific problem is that lvm says it can't map the root volume (possibly because the raid array isn't yet ready), so i get dumped to an initramfs shell.  the box boots okay after 'vgchange -ay' and ^D.
[16:24] <strixUK> can anybody help diagnose udev, or recommend a channel that might be able to?
[16:48] <claytonk> Interested to know how others are managing vmware-tools on their server fleets
[16:48] <claytonk> The vmware package repos don't keep up with the latest kernel releases
[16:49] <claytonk> could write a script that updates from the ISO but this seems clunky
[17:02] <hitsujiTMO> claytonk: you reffering to the kernel modules within vmware-tools?
[17:02] <claytonk> yes
[17:03] <ikonia> claytonk: they normally either a.) use a supported long term distro that doens't change kenrel version b.) have a central managment server thats pushes out the vmware install
[17:03] <ikonia> claytonk: what version of linux are you using ?
[17:03] <claytonk> trying out open-vm-tools
[17:04] <claytonk> we're running 12.0.4.4 LTS
[17:04] <hitsujiTMO> I install vmware tools alright, but generally go without those specific modules. They don't provide anything I need. They should build with kernel 3.2 if you need them
[17:04] <jrwren> that is 12.04.4
[17:04] <claytonk> yup
[17:04] <ikonia> claytonk: with the LTS standard kernel or the enablement stack ?
[17:05] <zul> jamespage:  https://code.launchpad.net/~zulcss/nova/ftbfs-jan14/+merge/201600
[17:05] <claytonk> enablement stack
[17:05] <ikonia> so that's why it's causing you a problem then
[17:06] <ikonia> as it's jumping to bleeding edge kernels, when vmware tools targets long term / stable distros
[17:10] <claytonk> ikonia: reading up on the enablement stack now

[19:56] <nwilson5> if I wanted to run rsync regularly (i.e. every minute) over a directory with thousands of files or hundreds of thousands of files, many of which likely would not have changed, is that going to start taking too long/being too much work for the server. I could make a "smarter" backup strategy over the directory keeping track specifically of what's changed
[19:58] <bekks> Doing so will mess up the rsync sessions.
[19:58] <bekks> You dont want to run rsync that often.
[19:58] <sarnold> nwilson5: yeah you won't like the results of rsyncing every minute; you'd have to go to some effort to only run one rsync at a time, since it'll probably take far longer than a minute to stat all the files ..
[19:59] <nwilson5> ok assumed as much, was thinking of keeping track of all files appended to the directory and have a 'smarter' script that just backs those up.
[20:00] <sarnold> nwilson5: you could use incron to monitor a directory and discover new files and modified files, that'd be less painful...
[20:00] <sarnold> see e.g. http://inotify.aiken.cz/?section=incron&page=doc&lang=en
[20:28] <Free99> hey everyone. I'm trying to write a script that will email on a RAID error, problem is the mail sender is too simple (ssmtp) to send to multiple people simultaneously (or is it?)
[20:29] <Free99> test emails to one user works fine, but the docs say /etc/aliases are not supported... really don't want a full MTA
[20:33] <andol> Free99: Why wouldn't you want to use a full MTA? Unless we are talking an embedded system I really don't see the memory footprint being of much significance.
[20:35] <Free99> it's not the memory so much as that it's a whole new system to learn... ssmtp is great for when I'm the only person who needs scripts to mail notifications, plus no suid voodoo
[20:36] <andol> Free99: The default apt-get postfix install provides a few set of fairly straightforward default. As long as you make sure it only ends up listening on localhost there isn't really that much extra which can go wrong.
[20:36] <Free99> (shrug) andol if it comes down to it, I guess I'll use it, but damn if I'd rather not.
[20:37] <Free99> andol, so would I need to setup an MX record, or could I just have it send using smtp through my company mail server?
[20:38] <andol> Free99: A MX record only matters if you want to recieve e-mail, which I would assume isn't the plan?
[20:38] <Free99> oh, right.
[20:38] <Free99> nope, just send status of cron jobs and such
[20:39] <Free99> still would rather through the company server though
[20:40] <andol> Free99: Then just have postfix use the company server as a relay. There is a debconf option for that during the apt-get install.
[20:41] <Free99> hmm... I'm writing documentation on how to do all this, soup-to-nuts. How would I set the debconf non-interactively?

[21:14] <paco1> hello! i need help to limit the usage of the cpu. I tryed this "* - cpu 90" in "/etc/security/limits.conf", but it doesn't work because my cpus follow to have 200%
[21:35] <genii> !info cpulimit
[21:36] <sarnold> neat, thanks genii :)
[22:43] <paco1> thanks genii
[22:43] <paco1> it works very fine!
[23:07] <genii> paco1: Yer welcome :)
[23:14] <paco1> genii: yesterday i answer how can i avoid the (Too many Open Files) on my ldap servers. i tried "* - nofile 10000" in /etc/security/limits.conf but it doesn't work. Always, ulimit -n give me 1024.
[23:17] <sarnold> paco1: how does your ldap server get started? you might need to throw in a ulimit -n 10000 into an initscript or upstart configuration file
[23:17] <sarnold> paco1: the PAM limits are only applied if a PAM module is called before starting the daemon..
[23:25] <paco1> sarnold: arghhh
[23:25] <paco1> ok
[23:26] <paco1> i'll integrate it in the initscript
[23:26] <paco1> thanks!
[23:27] <sarnold> paco1: oh yes; check to make sure your ldap server doesn't use select(). if it does use select() you'll be in a world of hurt if it goes beyond 1024 file descriptors.
[23:27] <sarnold> paco1: poll() and epoll() are fine though.
[23:28] <paco1> sarnold: where can i check it? in the initscript?
[23:31] <sarnold> paco1: I think most likely to work is objdump -T `which ldapd` | grep select
[23:31] <sarnold> paco1: though reading the source would also work
[23:38] <paco1> sarnold: but i need to activate the debug mode on the slapd process before to run this comand, right?
[23:40] <sarnold> paco1: no, just run it, it ought to work
[23:41] <paco1> it search a.out file "objdump: 'a.out': No such file"
[23:42] <sarnold> paco1: ah sorry, I dont know the name of the ldapd -- replace `which ldapd` with the actual path the ldap daemon you're using
[23:43] <paco1> ah no, me, excuse me, i tried it but: "objdump: 'slapd': No such file"
[23:43] <sarnold> paco1: would that be in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin/ or .. ? be sure to use the right path
[23:45] <paco1> /ur/local/ldap/libexec/, and it is in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ldap.conf
