[00:13] <redneckJEDI> hello, first time user here. have stoopid question.
[00:14] <redneckJEDI> 1) am i in a chat room and is anybody there?
[00:14] <shauno> you are, we are
[00:14] <redneckJEDI> fantastic.  i might not suck at this!
[00:15] <redneckJEDI> question will follow the preceeding line:
[00:15] <redneckJEDI> sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f backend.example.com.ldif
[00:15] <redneckJEDI> what in the WORLD does EXTERNAL -H do?
[00:18] <redneckJEDI> i ask at the risk of exposing my noobish skill.  :)
[00:19] <shauno> I have precisely zero exposure to ldap, so all I could do is parrot the man page; but generic advice would be that if no-one replies, wait around a while - people do peek it, but not on a constant basis
[00:19] <redneckJEDI> understood, thank you
[00:20] <shauno> but I would check "man ldapadd" to see how it explains what -Y and -H are expecting  (I don't have it installed).  it's always a good start
[00:20] <redneckJEDI> maybe EXTERNAL is part of the internal working of LDAP because the man pages don't show up for EXTERNAL explicitly.  must be buried in another man page
[00:20] <redneckJEDI> will do that.  maybe i missed something
[00:21] <redneckJEDI> your inspiration is much appriciated
[00:35] <mgw> I'm building a package. Depending on the order of dh_installinit and dh_installdeb, the /etc/ files are either always updated or never updated. What I want is for dpkg to ask whether to replace if and only if both files have changed. I thought this was default behavior for conffiles. Any suggestions?

[05:41] <villf> can any one help me or guide me on how to get my server to boot normally and not in degraded raid mode?
[05:47] <hitsujiTMO> villf: are you on a live cd now?
[05:48] <villf> no i am booted in degraded mode
[05:49] <hitsujiTMO> villf: what type of raid?
[05:49] <villf> i believe its raid10 software raid
[05:50] <villf> i think i was first getting a md10 not found error before, but now i have the option to boot in degraded raid mode
[05:50] <hitsujiTMO> villf: ok. can you boot a live cd
[05:50] <villf> okay brb
[06:06] <villaf> im booted in live cd now

[06:23] <villaf> is there any way i can somehow clone the data off that raid onto 1 500gig ssd drive?
[06:23] <hitsujiTMO> villaf: i presume none of the drives are attached via usb?

[06:24] <villaf> i have two 2 tb usb 3.0 drives attached to the server now, internally i have 4 500 gig sata drives
[06:24] <hitsujiTMO> villaf: which drivers are involved in the raid?
[06:25] <villaf> you mean drives? i think all four 500 gig western digital drives
[06:25] <hitsujiTMO> drives*
[06:25] <villaf> raid 1-0 or raid 10

[06:53] <villaf> im able to boot in degraded mode and run apache and web server and all
[06:55] <hitsujiTMO> villaf: might be best to recreate the raid0 on /dev/sda1 + /dev/sda2. then it my work.
[06:56] <villaf> how do i do that
[06:56] <hitsujiTMO> villaf: do you know what params were used to create the raid in the first place? is it documented?
[06:57] <villaf> i have no documentation
[06:57] <villaf> is there anyway we can tell if i boot it in degraded mode?
[06:58] <villaf> when booted in degraded mode i have access to the local filesystem
[06:58] <hitsujiTMO> villaf: not that i know of.
[06:59] <hitsujiTMO> villaf: if you come back in a few hours there's a few peeps that me be able to help better than i can.
[06:59] <villaf> is there anyway i can like mount the array in live cd
[07:00] <villaf> and clone the data onto a clean 500gig ssd?
[07:00] <villaf> and just boot from the ssd with no raid?

[07:05] <hitsujiTMO> villaf: sorry missed the option ^
[07:05] <villaf> yay! i see it

[07:07] <hitsujiTMO> villaf: ok. you would need to change partitions in fstab and the grub config in /boot (boot is in one of /dev/sd[abcd]1)
[07:08] <villaf> for the ssd?
[07:08] <hitsujiTMO> villaf: yup
[07:08] <hitsujiTMO> villaf: i have to sign off for a bit. good look
[07:08] <villaf> i have no idea how to do that
[07:09] <hitsujiTMO> villaf: get your data first anyway. thats the most important bit

[11:48] <psivaa> it is roughly 32MB overhead that is being used in the smoke tests.

[18:10] <hallyn> sarnold: hm, no;  did useradd previously hang or something?
[18:10] <hallyn> does /etc/subgid show up in /proc/locks?
[18:10] <hallyn> oh i see:  line above that says "useradd: existing lock file /etc/subgid.lock without a PID
[18:11] <sarnold> hallyn: oh cool! I've not seen /proc/locks before.
[18:12] <hallyn> sarnold: well i don't see anything in dmesg, but it sure looks like a previous usermod/userad mustve crashed
[18:12] <sarnold> hallyn: any idea what would lead to a crash in usermod/useradd?
[18:13] <hallyn> no.  i thought we were pretty well protected
[18:13] <sarnold> same here
[18:13] <hallyn> rechecking termlog

[18:14] <hallyn> oh that came after the first lockfile
[18:16] <hallyn> <shrug>  cani reproduce?
[18:16] <sarnold> I haven't tried
[18:18] <hallyn> well this is messed up.  ec2 host cant' fidn any nfs packages
[18:21] <sarnold> hallyn: in a saucy VM I installed nfs-kernel-server without trouble. it obviously takes more than that alone..
[18:23] <hallyn> sarnold: yeah ditto.  also can'tn reproduce it with 'for i in `seq 1 10`; do sudo usermod -w 90000-99000 ubuntu'
[18:23] <sarnold> hallyn: well, alright, thanks for giving it a look. I'll keep an eye out to see if more like this show up..
[18:24] <hallyn> sarnold: now really i guess usermod should remove the empty lock file if it exists.
[18:24] <hallyn> sarnold: 'touch /etc/subgid.lock; usermod -w 99000-1000000 ubuntu' will never recover without manual intervention.  not sure if that's wanted
[18:25] <sarnold> hallyn: it feels like cleaning up after stale locks is expected these days, but I understand the hesitation..

[23:12] <kermit> how can i make apt install things without worrying about some unrelated broken dependancies?
[23:13] <sarnold> kermit: what do you mean?
[23:14] <bekks> kermit: if you do so, you would break your box.
[23:14] <bekks> kermit: dependencies and the unability to ignore them being broken saves you from breaking your box.
[23:15] <bekks> kermit: Whats the actual problem leading to your question?
[23:15] <kermit> not being able to install things with apt is fairly broken..  http://pastebin.com/M0RpwNVH    i dont want it to touch my pidgin setup, i want to keep the version i'm using.
[23:16] <sarnold> how on earth did you get your system so broken in the first place? o_O
[23:17] <bekks> o.O
[23:17] <bekks> Wow, that looks broken far beyond messed up pidgin deps.
[23:17] <sarnold> I mean, I can appreciate juts wanting to leave all that mess alone and getting bcrypt installed, but .. wow.
[23:20] <sarnold> kermit: my first thought it abusing the equivs package to build up some fake packages with matching version numbers, but .. I don't think that would work well, since you want the real packages installed.
