yolanda_jamespage, you there?09:52
jamespageyolanda_, yes09:52
yolanda_ok, looking at your mp comments09:52
yolanda_about creating a home directory for the user09:52
yolanda_looked at the charmhelpers call for the user09:53
yolanda_if no password is provided for the user, it doesn' create home directory09:53
yolanda_so that's why i created it directly on charm09:53
yolanda_what do you think is the best approach for it?09:53
yolanda_jamespage, sent comments on the mp10:05
jamespageyolanda_, ah10:11
jamespageyolanda_, OK - in that case I'd use the mkdir function from the core helper10:11
jamespageit does everthing you do in that function in one call10:12
yolanda_i just wrote some comments in general for the MP10:12
yolanda_also for the other topics10:12
jamespageyolanda_, ok responded10:20

rostamhi do I have to run "/etc/init.d/networking restart" anytime I modify the /etc/network/interfaces file? thx12:14
k4vhi i would like to update php in 12.04 to the latest php 5.3 could you recommend a ppa?12:15
cfhowlettk4v, suggest you look for a php channel and ask them12:16
andolrostam: If you want the changes to come into play, yes.12:19
rostamandol,  I heard that script is becoming deprecated...12:20
andolrostam: Well, at least that is the simple answer. Depending on the change you can also get around it by using ifup, ifdown, manually running ifconfig, etc12:20
andolrostam: I guess that is possible, source?12:21
rostamandol,  how I can make sure eth0 to be default route gateway?12:21
andolrostam: Aside from having it defined in /etc/network/interfaces? Well, you can always manually set (default) route using the route command.12:22

makarawe're looking for an alternative to Hyper-V?14:35
mardraummakara: I guess since you are asking here, you have a question about qemu/kvm ?14:37
makaramardraum, well it seems kvm isn't a solution14:37
makarait just runs in ubuntu server14:38
mardraumjust?14:38
makarawhat's the difference between this and Proxmox, SolusVM, etc14:38

makarawe might need to run Windows machines, yes14:40
mardraumyou don't seem to know what you want.14:40
andolmakara: Well, if you want to be able to run Windows VMs you'd rather have something like KVM than OpenVZ (or LXC) in the bottom.14:41

sander^workWhen doing an dist-upgrade of ubuntu 10.04.. should I choose yes when it prompts me to install grub2?14:44
andolsander^work: Unless you have a specific reason not to, yes.14:44
makarasander^work, yes, but you're better off doing a fresh install from such an old version14:44
sander^workandol, makara: I'm not upgrading the os version.. and how do I know if I already have grub2? Because thats one reason to not install it it seems.14:45
makarasander^work, then don't14:47
makarajust upgrade whatever you need upgraded14:47
sander^workmakara, so the safe bet is always to not install grub2?14:47
makarasander^work, you could haven't issues booting up14:48
sander^workmakara, Are you saying I could have issues booting up, if I install grub2?14:48
makaraactually I see it was available since 9.1014:48
sander^workmakara, the default choice is "no", to not install grub2.14:49
makarajust do it14:49
makarait'll be a learning experience14:49
makarawhat you got running on the server?14:49
makarawill you be able to boot from a live CD if something goes wrong?14:50

roadmrhello folks! is this the right place to ask about/report problems with one of the ubuntu cloud images? (saucy cloud image for vagrant is broken)15:41
rbasakroadmr: yes, this is the right place.15:43
roadmrrbasak: thanks! something seems wrong with the virtualbox guest modules on that image (http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/vagrant/saucy/current/saucy-server-cloudimg-i386-vagrant-disk1.box). Attempts to access /vagrant once the VM is up result in kernel oopses and no access15:44
roadmrrbasak: FWIW, both raring and trusty images work fine15:44
roadmrrbasak: this is easy to reproduce using a simple vagrant file and, say, a trusty host system, I can file a bug with a repro case if needed15:45

rostamHi I am setting up a local mirror using debmirror. There is a python pkg, autobhn which I install it manually using "pip install autobhn" How could I include that in my local mirror using debmirror? thx18:34
UchM0ndcan anyone give me good guide how to setup pptp server on ubuntu18:37
sarnoldrostam: debmirror will mirror just debian packages. if pip uses http to download the packages, you might be able to cache it with squid, but it wouldn't be a self-contained mirror ... you might also be able to find a pip mirroring tool18:38

jrwrenzerick: iirc it is a debian/ubuntu thing. see apache.conf instead of Include conf.d/* it says conf.d/*.conf20:03
zerickjrwren, since apache 2.4.6 is ignoring the include on apache2.conf20:05
jrwrenthat has not been my experience20:08
zerickup to this version, actually, in recognizes, only for new symlinks, the *.conf extensions, I see it preserves older links (which makes sense, though)20:11

ubottuwebmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.20:33
semiosisalso fwiw if you're not already familiar with sendmail, you might want to try using postfix instead -- it's much nicer imho20:35
LrdArcbut i don't see postfix option on webmin20:36
semiosismy advice, drop webmin, drop sendmail.  postfix docs are good & the config files are easy enough to edit.20:37

Rick129Hi. I really don't understand the load average of htop. What counts towards the load average? On my 8 core, 32gb ram server I have sometimes >8 load average although cpu usage is only 40-50%. Why is that?21:42
PiciRick129: "System load averages is the average number of processes that are either in a runnable or  uninterruptable  state.   A process in a runnable state is either using the CPU or waiting to use the CPU.  A process in uninterruptable state is waiting for some I/O access, eg waiting for disk.  The averages are taken over the three time intervals.  Load  averages  are  not  normalized  for  the  number of CPUs in a system, so ...21:43
Pici... a load average of 1 means a single CPU system is loaded all the time while on a 4 CPU system it means it was idle 75% of the time."21:43
Picifrom `man uptime`21:43
Rick129Pici: thanks. So when only one 1 core is 100% and load is >5 this is most likely disk IO?21:44
Rick129-one21:45
PiciRick129: yes, high load usually points to some sort of IO issue.21:46
Picirather, when load > cores21:47
Rick129Pici: do you know how I can debug IO issues?21:50
=== thumper is now known as thumper-afk
PiciRick129: Thats a pretty big question.  You can use things like iotop to help figure out where the bottlenecks are, but solving them can be tricky.21:52
Rick129Pici: thank you. I have 2 VMs via KVM running, but they should't use a lot of IO. Weird. Guess I have to do a little bit of research21:53
semiosisgeneral answer to "how do i solve io problems?" is "use SSD" imho ;)21:56
semiosisRick129: check the cpu wait time %wa in top -- that indicates processes waiting for io21:57
