[03:54] <rostam> Hi I am trying to compile a package which reqiures a head file from boost library  version libboost1.49.-dev as part of quantal, but my system is on precise (12.04) how could I use that library in precise? thx
[10:47] <swimmer> ok guys just for the records: that workaround that I applied yesterday was *not* applicable for OpenVZ en that's why the whole vps went down after a reboot.
[11:05] <ogra_> well, ask your OpenVZ provider to fix it ...
[11:05] <ogra_> afaik they are legally not allowed to call it Ubuntu if they change the default packages ... iirc thats somewhere in the trademark policy
[11:18] <swimmer> hihi - you mean I should p*ss them off on day 2 already? ;-)
[11:18] <swimmer> I first let them investigate what else I could use to adjust the logging to my liking ...
[11:19] <swimmer> it seems to be a known issue with OpenVZ
[11:24] <rbasak> jamespage: please could you subscribe ~ubuntu-server for ruby-rgen? This is for bug 1271857.

[11:24]  * rbasak wonders where the bot is.
[11:47] <Zorky> Hello. Im having trouble with a PXE server im setting up. The PXE server works. and is able to spit images out. But when i boot into an image. i get to the live version of ubuntu desktop. thats fine. i get an internet connection there. and is able to ping 8.8.8.8 But when i boot ubuntu 12.04 server i get bad archive mirror. like it dosent get a dns
[11:48] <mardraum> are you assigning IP info manually, or using DHCP?
[11:48] <Zorky> using dhcp
[11:48] <mardraum> are the dns servers your dhcp server is giving out legit?
[11:49] <Zorky> giving out dns name. and the server ip. and 8.8.8.8
[11:49] <mardraum> does "host google.com" work ?
[11:49] <Zorky> option domain-name "example.local";
[11:49] <Zorky> option domain-name-servers 10.110.1.10;
[11:49] <Zorky> option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8
[11:49] <Zorky> rebooting the vm
[11:51] <Zorky> i think i just found the error. there was no ; after 8.8.8.8
[11:54] <Zorky> mardraum:  pinging google.com work
[11:58] <mardraum> original problem remains?
[11:59] <Zorky> gonna test with ubuntu server now. have to download 32bit version to test it now
[12:07] <Zorky> mardraum:  it works now :) funny how 1 letter can mess the entire thing up
[12:08] <mardraum> not really. but a good lesson to learn
[12:09] <Zorky> mardraum:  it's weird that it works fine when you are not pxe booting. then i get the 8.8.8.8 dns. but the images dont :S
[13:05] <LeMike> hello. i am puzzled. viewing `ps -e | grep sh` shows me one process with bash. i like to kill all of them but I can't. neither me nor another root is able to `kill 1234 -KILL` or `kill 1234` this one. someone familiar with it ? some ideas?
[13:07] <rostam> hi is there any mechanism that a process can be notified if a usb devices is installed or removed? thx
[13:12] <rbasak> rostam: look into udev (for low level) and the D-Bus "org.freedesktop.UDisks" service (for desktop integration)
[13:13] <rostam> rbasak, thx
[13:18] <rostam> rbasak, I did some googling, I find udev-noify.  This provides gui notification which is not what I am looking for. Any suggestion? thx
[13:20] <rbasak> rostam: you can add your own udev rules set up to run what you want when something happens. You can also write a daemon to receive realtime notifications from udev (eg. "udevadm monitor" does this). I suggest you look deeper into udev and try and understand it.
[13:21] <rostam> rbasak, thanks got it
[13:36] <jamespage> rbasak: done
[13:36] <rbasak> Thanks!
[14:11] <swimmer> rostam: another option could be udevil

[14:31] <zul> jamespage:  f..
[14:36] <zul> jamespage:  fixed
[14:39]  * jamespage goes to make his eyes hurt
[14:40] <zul> jamespage:  hah
[14:40] <jamespage> zul, you need to add the new assets it generated to the branch
[14:40] <jamespage> -1
[14:41] <zul> jamespage:  *sigh* can you take care of horizon, its starting to piss me off

[15:08] <rbasak> jamespage: FYI, looking at mysql now. Looks like this one will take me a while.
[15:08]  * rbasak disappears into a corner to work on it.
[15:10] <jamespage> zul, ok - re horizon
[15:10] <zul> jamespage:  thanks
[15:14] <zul> jamespage:  ironic is going to have sqlalchemy problems as well :(
[15:15] <jamespage> zul, oh great
[15:15] <jamespage> when does that all land upstream?
[15:16] <jamespage> zul, horizon done and uploading btw
[15:18] <zul> jamespage:  icehouse-3 i think
[15:19] <zul> jamespage:  requirements repo got updated last week and the gates are backed up
[15:30] <jamespage> zul, fwiw I confirmed bug 1248519 on trusty
[15:30] <jamespage> cinderclient
[15:31] <zul> looking
[15:32] <zul> jamespage:  do you know if the attached review fixes it?
[16:04] <zul> jamespage:  so i was looking at django-compressor and beautifulsoup is optional dependency
[16:07] <jamespage> zul, which bits do we use for openstack?
[16:07] <jamespage> and does the test suite pass without it as a bd?
[16:07] <zul> jamespage:  not sure about the openstack bits, you need a patch that was pushed upstream like 2 hours agao
[16:16] <zul> jamespage:  i think we will be fine with out it
[16:16] <zul> jamespage:  the saucy version didnt have bs installed and i dont think we had any problems with the compression did we?
[16:17] <jamespage> zul, no - it worked OK - but bear in mind this is a distro package, not an openstack package
[16:17] <jamespage> we need to get rid of beautifulsoup in favor of bs4
[16:17] <zul> jamespage:  agreed
[16:17] <zul> jamespage:  lemme try something first
[16:17] <jamespage> zul, ok
[16:20] <zul> jamespage:  http://django-compressor.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart/#dependencies
[16:32] <zul> jamespage:  ok i unerstand this now
[16:32] <zul> jamespage:  upstream django-compressor (in github) use bs4 for python3 support
[16:44] <jamespage> zul, oh
[17:28] <Vasa> is it possible to configure pptp to work in a way that there is a lan-like connection between all the clients? and if so what term do you recommend me to google for? i tried pptp work like lan
[17:28] <hitsujiTMO> Vasa: i assume you mean you want a NAT
[17:30] <Vasa> well maybe, its just i am trying to play games like CIV and i want to avoid the use of stuff like hamachi
[17:30] <Vasa> do you think PPTP can be configured to work that way?
[17:32] <hitsujiTMO> Vasa: are all the clients connecting to the vpn?
[17:32] <hitsujiTMO> Vasa: or are some on the local lan where the vpn is?
[17:32] <Vasa> hitsujiTMO yes but when i tried it, i couldnt see them in the game in the list i assume some ports are blocked?
[17:33] <Vasa> but it works fine in a VPN client such as tunnegle
[17:33] <Vasa> and yes there was ping between the clients in PPTP
[17:34] <hitsujiTMO> Vasa: then you need to set up the pptp clients in bridged mode
[17:34] <hitsujiTMO> wait. forget what i just saud
[17:35] <hitsujiTMO> Vasa: ok, where is the vpn? someones house or a private server in a data center or what not?
[17:35] <Vasa> VPS
[17:36] <Vasa> i am not sure what the problem is tho, ports being blocked?
[17:36] <Vasa> it doesnt transfer all the ports via the tunnel?
[17:36] <hitsujiTMO> Vasa: if you can ping them but the game cannot connect then it sounds like a firewall issue on the host
[17:37] <hazmat> re lxc anyone know what this means.. $ lxc-start -d -n eis-m1 -> lxc-start: Executing '/sbin/init' with no configuration file may crash the host
[17:38] <hazmat> oh.. nevermind.. container wasn't defined..
[18:17] <hxm> i have configured a ldap server, I can add users and so on, but how to create an user that already exists in the machine? when I set up the unix I get the conflict
[18:27] <pmatulis> hxm: don't do that (create same user)
[19:41] <Ryan_Lane2> howdy. in 12.04 I could install cgroups-bin and use /etc/cgconfig.conf and /etc/cgrules.conf. it seems this package now just installs cgroups-lite, and I can't see how to use cgconfig/cgrules
[19:41] <Ryan_Lane2> in 14.04
[19:41] <Ryan_Lane2> what do I need to do to use cgroups in 14.04?
[19:44] <sarnold> Ryan_Lane2: a new cgroup manager is under construction, you can see progress here: https://github.com/hallyn/cgmanager
[19:44] <Ryan_Lane2> right, so I need to use that?
[19:45] <sarnold> Ryan_Lane2: likely, yes; it wouldn't hurt to look into it now, and expect that'll be easiest for 14.04..
[19:45] <Ryan_Lane2> any documentation?
[19:45] <Ryan_Lane2> does it use cgconfig/cgrules or no?
[19:46] <sarnold> Ryan_Lane2: dbus messages, as far as I've read through it so far
[19:46] <Ryan_Lane2> -_-
[19:46] <sarnold> I don't know if it is planned or expected to write compatibility interfaces with the older mechanisms or not..
[19:47] <hxm> pmatulis: but then I will have duplicated users
[19:47] <hxm> shall I remove the system user and create it via ldap?
[20:11] <joshu_> hi what are some suitable ways to monitor an ubuntu server acting as a firewall, dhcp, nat, openvpn? The server is an edge virtual machine for a group of cloud servers. I'm interested in what is recommend to monitor in terms of bandwidth through the ubuntu server (router), the health of the server so that I know if something is going wrong instead of manually logging on to check things...
[20:13] <sarnold> joshu_: monitoring tends to take one of two forms, you've got your nagios-style up/down checks and you've got collectd-style statistics collection. both are useful. also investigate mrtg and munin.
[20:13] <joshu_> sarnold is using a service such as pingdom relevant?
[20:14] <patdk-wk> depends on WHAT you need to monitor
[20:14] <joshu_> sarnold i.e. if pings fail something is wrong...
[20:14] <patdk-wk> nothing you said, in your first post, says pingdom would help at all
[20:14] <sarnold> joshu_: if ping is a good representation of what you care about.. :)
[20:14] <patdk-wk> pingdom is to know, if *random people on the network* has issues talking to you
[20:15] <patdk-wk> the issue is, hell, the kernel can almost completely crash, and ping wil lwork
[20:15] <patdk-wk> you can remove all disks from the server, and ping will work
[20:15] <sarnold> joshu_: the linux-ha folks have piles of monitoring tests for their services that actually check the services are functional. that makes most sense to me..
[20:15] <joshu_> patdk-wk sarnold ok I see what you mean.
[20:17] <joshu_> So if the server is acting as a router/ firewall then I should focus on network related monitoring, but in addition to that monitoring CPU, memory, storage is also important to get an overall picture?
[20:17] <patdk-wk> normally, track connection count, traffic in/out, link status
[20:18] <joshu_> i'll brb
[20:32] <joshu_> back.. patdk-wk and those metrics you mentioned what tool do you use?
[20:32] <pmatulis> hxm: yes, just keep a few key local users, like root and a few who can become root via sudo
[20:32] <patdk-wk> I use munin
[20:34] <joshu_> i'll google it
[20:47] <hxm> miss clicked
