[00:00] <Bitwise> I'm trying to set up courier but I get /usr/lib/courier/imapd.pem already exists. when I try to install courier-imap-ssl but if I delete it the output I receive is regarding a dead sym link. What should I do to properly deal with this?

[00:42] <sheptard> sarnold: shouldn't need to

[00:42] <sarnold> hey sheptard :)
[00:42] <sheptard> sarnold: hoihoi
[00:42] <Bitwise> http://pastebin.com/jmWT98T0 Any takers?
[00:42] <jrwren> same exact message from root shell started via sudo -i
[00:43] <sheptard> jrwren: assuming the filesystem is ext3/4?
[00:43] <jrwren> yes, ext4
[00:43] <sarnold> Bitwise: rm /usr/lib/courier/imapd.pem  ?
[00:43] <sheptard> Bitwise: ^
[00:44] <sarnold> oh, maybe one of those 'directories' is a symlink...
[00:44] <Bitwise> rm: cannot remove ‘/usr/lib/courier/imapd.pem’: No such file or directory
[00:44] <sheptard> jrwren: I'd just sudo su; resize2fs /dev/derpderp

[00:45] <sarnold> Bitwise: ls -ld /usr/lib/courier/imapd.pem ?
[00:45] <jrwren> sheptard: indeed. googling gives me results with folks having issues with SD cards on raspberry pi :)  I don't think those are LVM backed
[00:45] <Bitwise> ls: cannot access /usr/lib/courier/imapd.pem: No such file or directory

[00:49] <Bitwise> sarnold, I think it will help to mention that I did rm -f /etc/courier/imapd.pem while trying to set up courier previously.
[00:52] <sarnold> Bitwise: how about ls -l /etc/courier/imapd.pem  ?

[00:54] <raid1ubuntu> hello i am unable to install ubuntu server 12 lts x64 on a host-based raid1 array
[00:54] <raid1ubuntu> the curses-based setups hangs when i say apply partitioning
[00:54] <sarnold> Bitwise: that's all so confusing; the postinst script appears to run this program if the /etc/courier/imapd.pem doesn't exist: mkimapdcert
[00:55] <sarnold> Bitwise: you could try running that as root and see how well that works, then re-try install?
[00:55] <raid1ubuntu> cat /proc/mdstats goes into resync ... takes several hours until it finishes, and the setups is still frozen after successfull resync
[00:56] <Bitwise> sarnold, it seems I forgot how to Linux.
[00:56] <sarnold> Bitwise: haha :)
[00:56] <Bitwise> I switched the parameters of ls -s
[00:56] <raid1ubuntu> i had to reboot because the system hung and now it wants to resync again on applyng partitioing (tried it 2 times again, it always hangs, and starts to resync again)
[00:56] <Bitwise> Fixing that allows me to reinstall courier.
[00:56] <sarnold> Bitwise: oh! ln -s ?
[00:57] <sarnold> Bitwise: I -hate- ln. I can never keep the argument order in tact.
[00:57] <Bitwise> Yes, I tried to create the symlink so that it would work.
[00:57] <sarnold> or intact either. :)
[00:57] <sarnold> Bitwise: I'm just surprised the various ls -ling didn't show it..?
[00:57] <raid1ubuntu> Is there anyone who knows what to do?
[00:59] <Bitwise> sarnold, I did. That's how I realized it.
[00:59] <sarnold> Bitwise: sigh :) sorry I missed it. hehe.
[00:59] <Bitwise> It's no problem. I appreciate the help. :-)
[01:07] <jrwren> i wonder if resize2fs is failing because teh system thinks the filesystem is dirty and needs unmounting and fsck
[01:12] <jrwren> anyone aware of an online fsck for ext4 ? :)
[01:13] <hitsujiTMO> jrwren: remount ro?
[01:16] <jrwren> is that allowed?
[01:16] <jrwren> I mean, I know I can remount ro, but can I remount ro, run fsck -y and then remount rw ?
[01:16] <jrwren> I've never thought of doing that. I'm going to try it :)
[01:16] <hitsujiTMO> yup
[01:16] <jrwren> thanks hitsujiTMO
[01:17] <jrwren> i've been doing this too long to have never done that. where can I send the thanks hitsujiTMO ? :)
[01:17] <hitsujiTMO> you can fsck a unmount or readonly filesystem. so remounting ro should be safe
[01:19] <Bitwise> It seems reinstalling courier doesn't replace /etc/courier with fresh files. Am I missing something here?
[01:23] <sarnold> Bitwise: if you apt-get purge courier it'll clear all the configs, then a fresh apt-get install should put them back
[01:25] <Bitwise> Saved the day again!
[01:33] <jrwren> hitsujiTMO: i was hoping I could force remount readonly like kernel does when there are disk errors.
[01:33] <jrwren> I get mount: /mnt is busy
[01:34] <hitsujiTMO> jrwren: with ? sudo mount /mnt -o remount,ro
[01:34] <jrwren> yup
[01:34] <jrwren> well, mount -o remount,ro /mnt
[01:35] <jrwren> I'd think -o before device
[01:37] <hitsujiTMO> jrwren: try adding the n flag
[01:39] <jrwren> its not my root fs, shouldn't need it, but I'll try
[01:39] <hitsujiTMO> jrwren: you may have to kill anything that has a file open with fuser
[01:39] <jrwren> same thing.
[01:40] <jrwren> yeah, the fuser/lsof thing is the same as unmounting.
[01:40] <hitsujiTMO> altho i'm sure i've done this with / but on debian tho
[01:40] <jrwren> i'm in ssh, but any way I can remote an alt+sysreq+U ?
[01:40] <jrwren> or make that syscall or something?
[01:40] <sarnold> did you use the sysrq "emergency readonly remount" thing?
[01:40]  * sarnold ^5s jrwren 
[01:41] <jrwren> I did not.
[01:41] <jrwren> but I want to.
[01:41] <sarnold> jrwren: hehe, I meant it as a question to hitsujiTMO -- I'm a bit happy you thought of the same thing
[01:41] <hitsujiTMO> jrwren: echo "command key" > /proc/sysrq-trigger
[01:41] <sarnold> jrwren: that'd be echo u > /proc/sysrq-trigger
[01:42] <sarnold> 's' first if you want to sync
[01:42] <hitsujiTMO> sarnold: hmm, not sure was a few years back
[01:42] <jrwren> this is getting into crazy territory. I think I'll wait until I'm done reading from that FS.
[01:43] <sarnold> I was terrified for my first offline filesystem resize :) trying to do it while online is just amazing to me..
[01:44] <jrwren> this isn't a first for me.
[01:44] <jrwren> its a first for half online fsck
[01:45] <hitsujiTMO> resizing an ext partition "should" be trivial enough to be able to do it even when its dirty.
[01:45] <hitsujiTMO> afterall, i don't think it creates any new inodes
[01:45] <Bitwise> I'm here in this guide: http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/#config-simple-imap how do I test to make sure everything is working properly? xD I previously set up roundcube but now when I go to log in it says "Connection to storage server failed."
[02:02] <jrwren> hitsujiTMO: i'm getting the error for some reason. I wish I knew why
[02:03] <jrwren> in this case I mean the resize error.
[02:15] <Bitwise> Nevermind, I didn't restart the services.
[04:18] <Bitwise> Hi. If I'm using Postfix and Courier (I installed postfixadmin to make it a bit easier) shouldn't I be able to log into RoundCube with the users I create in postfixadmin?
[04:23] <tonyyarusso> Bitwise: Can users log in via IMAP with desktop clients and just not Roundcube, or not at all?
[04:25] <Bitwise> Not at all as far as I know. I can't seem to figure out what the user/pass is supposed to be or which db it's in.
[04:40] <tonyyarusso> Bitwise: Can you pastebin your courier config, minus any sensitive bits?
[04:42] <Bitwise> tonyyarusso, Which file exactly?
[04:46] <tonyyarusso> Bitwise: do you have an /etc/courier/authdaemonrc ?
[04:48] <Bitwise> tonyyarusso, Yes, http://pastebin.com/GWEJC7vi
[04:49] <Bitwise> I'm trying to follow this: http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/#top
[04:50] <tonyyarusso> Okay, and then an /etc/courier/authmysqlrc I take it?
[04:53] <tonyyarusso> This tutorial puts them in a database called maildb
[04:53] <Bitwise> authmysqlrc: http://pastebin.com/9JC2cGjL
[04:56] <tonyyarusso> So yeah, see if you have anything in the users table of the maildb database
[04:58] <Bitwise> tonyyarusso, Last I checked there were no entries but at the same time I thought adding a user from postfixadmin would add a user in maildb.
[04:58] <Bitwise> Also, I now can't log into phpMyAdmin. My username was 'mail' for some reason.
[04:59] <tonyyarusso> If there are still not entries, then the next step would be to look at the postfixadmin config
[05:02] <Bitwise> No clue why but I suddenly can't connect to MySQL through socket ... (2)
[05:12] <Bitwise> Okay, I'm not getting the SQL error anymore.
[05:14] <Bitwise> tonyyarusso, I logged in as root on phpMyAdmin and I see the problem. I have like three different db's that contain user tables.
[08:45] <zetheroo> if I am exporting something via /etc/exports is it possible to view all instances of that export being "imported" on other machines on the network!?
[09:01] <shauno> zetheroo: /var/lib/nfs/rmtab is a good start (but can contain stale entries if clients don't disconnect cleanly)
[09:02] <Shain> I am unable to connect to my DHCP home network. I can see my network card. I can ping local host, and I believe I have /etc/network/interfaces configured correctly.
[09:07] <zetheroo> shauno: great thanks! Is there any way to kinda clean up the file to show only current listings?
[09:21] <shauno> zetheroo: not easily, it's maintained by rpc.mountd, so it may just replace anything it still believes to be true
[09:22] <shauno> (man rpc.mountd being where this file & behaviour are documented)
[09:24] <zetheroo> ok ... and this is the easiest way to see where these exports are being mounted to ..
[09:26] <shauno> I actually just found 'showmount -a' via the same manpage, which I was unaware of.  but it gets its data from the same file
[12:56] <stemid> so /etc/cron.d/hourly is like 0 * * * * ?
[12:56] <stemid> I mean /etc/cron.hourly is like 0 * * * * ?
[12:57] <stemid> I put a script in there, named it foo-bar and made it 0755, tested to run it manually and it worked. but crond never runs it.
[12:57] <stemid> it's 13:57 here now so I think it should run soon, if it's equal to 0 * * * *
[12:58] <stemid> I placed it in there 3 hours ago though
[13:01] <stemid> nope, nothing. I even did while sleep 1; do ps auxww|grep cron; done and I could see no hourly run. and now server time is 14:01
[13:02] <stemid> made a more traditional cron in /etc/cron.d/foo-bar now 0       *       *       *       *       root    /etc/cron.hourly/foo-bar
[13:03] <stemid> cron is usually not this hard ;)
[13:19] <toyotapie> Hello, I am trying to diagnose a memory usage problem with a non-repo app. pmap shows that 65404K is used by '[ anon ]', how can I find out what the 65404K is being used for ?
[13:54] <raid1ubuntu> i cant setup grub on my raid1 array (MBR) is this possible in general? or do i have to install it on e.g. MBR of /dev/sda ?
[13:55] <RoyK> raid1ubuntu: sw raid?
[13:55] <RoyK> raid1ubuntu: anyway - it should work well
[13:55] <RoyK> just install grub on both disks (if it's sw raid)
[13:55] <raid1ubuntu> RoyK: host based (intel embedded raid server technology ii)
[13:55] <RoyK> raid1ubuntu: using that setup myself
[13:55] <RoyK> raid1ubuntu: then it's probably fakeraid. better not use it
[13:55] <RoyK> better use md raid
[13:56] <raid1ubuntu> its md raid
[13:56] <xnox> RoyK: intel matrix raid, managed by mdadm is actually ok.
[13:56] <RoyK> oh - didn't know that
[13:56] <xnox> RoyK: ditto ddf. all others are crap and thus only supported by dmraid =)
[13:56] <RoyK> raid1ubuntu: I'm using mdraid mirrors for boot on serveral servers - works like a charm
[13:56] <raid1ubuntu> RoyK: ubuntu setup automaticall detected it.  and now wants to install grub on /dev/md126
[13:57] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: installing grub onto /dev/md126 is correct.
[13:57] <RoyK> that's wierd. I thought grub should go to the host drives
[13:57] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: i had success with UEFI booting off intel matrix raid with mdadm, but not with BIOS/mbr.
[13:57] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: install on MBR (yes/no) in setup, i select yes
[13:58] <xnox> RoyK: no, the motherboard knows about the fakeraid array and thus has options to boot of the raid.
[13:58] <RoyK> xnox: ok - never used fakeraid
[13:58] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: yeah, that's correct -> but my motherboard didn't like it and failed to boot =(
[13:58] <raid1ubuntu> if i select NO it asks me for a device
[13:58] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: you should install into MBR.
[13:58] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: of /dev/md126 device.
[13:59] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: ok, but that fails
[13:59] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: and in firmware configuration (ctrl+I on boot) make sure it's marked as bootable.
[13:59] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: yeah =/ works with UEFI just fine though....
[13:59] <RoyK> xnox: what would be the difference between using fakeraid and ditching that altogether for plain mdraid?
[13:59] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: in that case try installing onto a partition, instead of mbr e.g. /dev/md126p1
[14:00] <RoyK> xnox: why not the host drives?
[14:00] <raid1ubuntu> ok i will try it
[14:00] <raid1ubuntu> i have installed the whole OS on the raid1 array
[14:00] <xnox> RoyK: different ondisk format and different sets of events / controllers.
[14:01] <xnox> RoyK: if you install to the host drives, you can hose the intel-matrix-raid on disk format.
[14:01] <xnox> (cause our grub is big and uses extended area i believe)
[14:01] <xnox> RoyK: then again if all fails, one can try that....
[14:02] <RoyK> xnox: but what are the advantages of using fakeraid instead of just mdraid?
[14:02] <xnox> RoyK: plus motherboard bios/firmware sees and checks assembled array and tries to boot that.... not the underlying disks.
[14:03] <xnox> RoyK: in my experience fakeraid resysncs faster, and you can migrate it offline using firmware tools only - preboot.
[14:03] <xnox> (e.g. replace and rebuild a spare or failed drive)
[14:04] <xnox> RoyK: plus it works for dual boot installations as one can have windows on the same array with linux.
[14:04] <RoyK> that's inded a plus
[14:04] <xnox> RoyK: whereas with mdadm one can't install windows on top of it.
[14:05] <xnox> RoyK: people say that "intel firmware sends better/faster notifications about failed drives" but i'm skeptical about that =)
[14:05] <RoyK> guess I'll stick to old md for the moment
[14:05] <RoyK> that or zfs
[14:09] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: please have a look: http://picpaste.com/Photo_2014-02-20_15.07.12-1-f4s7bAFm.jpg  i have no idea what to do
[14:09] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: i tried /dev/md125 ..126 and md127 for grub but it always failed. i tried also /dev/sda
[14:10] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: it says something about "... disk not found" in dmesg (see picture)
[14:10] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: have a non-raided bootloader elsewhere.
[14:10] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: or just use stock mdadm instead of intel-raid.
[14:10] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: do you need/must use intel-raid, or can you use any raid?
[14:11] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/advanced-installation.html
[14:11] <raid1ubuntu> i could use software-raid but i guess its slower than the intel one, right?
[14:11] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: no depends yes
[14:12] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: using raid, you are taking a penalty hit anyway. With raid1, your write is always the slowest of the two drives and reads are upto 2x faster.
[14:12] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: given processing / physical limitations it's a bit longer that slowest drive to write, and a bit less than 2x read gain.
[14:12] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: the difference between mdadm vs fakeraid is negligible.
[14:13] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: yeah i know, i just mean raid1 on software is slower than raid1 host based, thats what i guess, otherwise the raid controller would make no sense^^
[14:13] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: ..... intel matrix raid controller is software based, it's just software compiled on the rom on your motherboard. It's not actually server-grade hardware raid controller.
[14:14] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: maybe i just only need to fix the "disk not found" problem
[14:14] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: you could use dmraid.
[14:14] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: why are you using mdadm with intel raid?
[14:14] <xnox> mdadm with intel raid is not well supported yet.
[14:14] <raid1ubuntu> i am not sure if it is intel matrix raid
[14:15] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: what does this say $ mdadm --detail-platform
[14:15] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: you can execute it from tty2 for example
[14:16] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: if you are not sure what you are doing, stick with mdadm using linux software raid. It uses kernel md features and is very fast and reliable.
[14:16] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: i have this board in this 1he server: http://ark.intel.com/products/29871/Intel-Server-Board-S5400SF
[14:16] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: i don't care what the board is, I care what the userspace detects it as =)
[14:18] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: it says mdadm: imsm capabilities not found for controller: /sys/devices/..........
[14:18] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: in that case..... i'm not so sure what you are setting up or how.
[14:18] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: cause you are not using fakeraid.
[14:18] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: lspci says: Intel Corporation 631xESB/632xESB SATA RAID CONTROLLER
[14:19] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: typically, you'd boot into firmware and setup raid arrays as you wish. Have you done that?
[14:19] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: yes i have created one big array with two disks
[14:19] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: then during installation, you should _not_ setup any raid.
[14:20] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: if it asks you to activate things say yes.
[14:20] <raid1ubuntu> in the curses-based setup it tells me that it has detected sata-raid hardware, i select with yes and in manual partioning its there with the raid1 array
[14:20] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: during install select "use full disk, use lvm" (default option) and select only one drive -> that raid1 array.
[14:20] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: yeah so just install onto that.
[14:21] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: if i select this, its only showing up the usb-stick i am installign from
[14:21] <xnox> raid1ubuntu:  in manual partitioning do not enter "configure software raid menus" and don't change anything there.
[14:21] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: yes, i know, i just select this
[14:21] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: can you try Trusty Tahr 14.04 installer? i think it may have a fix for that.
[14:22] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/
[14:22] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: i am on 14.04, 12.04 freezed when i said do partioning now
[14:23] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: this is a screenshot of 12.02 but it is the same on 14.04
[14:23] <raid1ubuntu> http://picpaste.com/Photo_2014-02-20_02.32.07-1-CS2Wqwz5.jpg
[14:24] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: the setup detects the (at boot time controller-setup-) configured array by itself
[14:24] <tych0> hi hallyn, i'm having a problem with lxc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6965608/ just seems to hang
[14:24] <tych0> FWIW i can run the command manually and it works fine
[14:25] <tych0> so it is something about the environment, i suppose
[14:25] <hallyn> tych0: which release are you on?
[14:25] <tych0> hallyn: trusty
[14:26] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: the device, at grub-installer installation time would be called /dev/mapper/isw_<letters>_<name> (where name typically is Volume0)
[14:26] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: i am now finishing the installation without boot, try to boot into the system from install, and then try to setup grub on the raid again, if that fails, i will remove the controller-raid1 disable the controller an go with software raid as you mentioned, i think this can be set up in the setup too?
[14:26] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: not md*
[14:27] <hallyn> tych0: I'm guessing it' related to bug 1166841
[14:27] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: yeah, but to do software raid, you will need to change in firmware -> remove raid arrays, mark drives as non-raid.
[14:27] <xnox> (or something like that)
[14:28] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: yes, i know thats what i meant with  "remove the controller-raid1" hehe
[14:28] <tych0> ah, hm
[14:28] <tych0> my $LANG is en_GB on this box
[14:28] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: /dev/mapper/isd_letters_name ... ok i will look
[14:28] <tych0> well, en_GB.UTF-8
[14:29] <hallyn> tych0: when the lxc-create is hung,c an you confirm that locale-gen is running?
[14:29] <tych0> hallyn: yes, although it'll take me a few minutes to get back there, but i can do that
[14:29] <hallyn> tych0: well, just setting yoru LANG to en_GB.UTF-8 in the script may fix it
[14:30] <tych0> ok, will do
[14:30] <hallyn> there is some sort of hornet's nest lurking in the locale stuff, but I don't know what's going to come of it
[14:34] <tych0> :-)
[14:39] <pmatulis> raid1ubuntu: mdadm in 14.04 will include fakeraid support.  dunno if that is available and working yet
[14:39] <pmatulis> (dmraid no longer used)
[14:43] <xnox> pmatulis: well i should write the status report about htat.
[14:44] <xnox> pmatulis: let me mail it out.
[14:44] <pmatulis> xnox: thanks, mail destination?
[14:44] <xnox> pmatulis: ubuntu-devel probably.
[14:52] <raid1ubuntu> my server got 32gb ram how big should the SWAP partition be ?
[14:53] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: default - 32gb if you want suspend/hybernate to have a chance at working
[14:53] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: i use 32GB swap with 32GB of RAM on my desktop =)
[14:53]  * xnox ponders if can class myself as server....
[14:55] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: for a always-up server with no hibernate required ?
[14:55] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: you still want swap.... e.g. when i'm running big databases they use swap as disk-cache thus speeding up IO
[14:55] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: the machien is going to be hosted in a data-center of my university (yeah i really managed to get them host my server :D)
[14:56] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: things go blazingly fast if you can store 10GB of data in ram and move it about.
[14:56] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: i presume you have like terabyte drives that 32GB of swap is peanuts and a big performance gain.
[14:59] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: ok i will use 64gb
[15:00] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: the setup does not offer any raid-menus on partioning screen (i have disabled the controller and want to go for soft-raid now) any idea how to enable them?
[15:00] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: there is no fdisk in F2 console
[15:02] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: follow step-by-steps i've pasted to you earlier.
[15:03] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: go into something else / manual, enter configure raid, configure your raid1, back-out back to "Guided partitioning", select default install and then you'll be offered to install onto configured software raid device.
[15:03] <xnox> https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/advanced-installation.html
[15:05] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: thats what i am actually doing (thx for the link) but there was no free disk.. i managed to fix the problem by selecting the sdba, select delete, cancel (this would take hours) and go back to the setup main menu, and reenter partioning, no i am able to create free disk space .... and NOW there is a raid menu.. *phew*
[15:26] <Dry_Lips> Anyone here using cloudflare? Does it work like a full reverse proxy, so that people will see a cloudflare ip instead of the ip of your server when they ping a domain that uses cloudflare?
[15:26] <utlemming> hallyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6965928  -- did 14.04 introduce a breaking change on QCOW2 compatability with older versions of qemu?
[15:28] <hallyn> utlemming: yeah I saw something in the git changelog tha tmight be relevant
[15:28] <hallyn> (breakfasting, biab)
[15:29] <cfhowlett> !trusty|utlemming,
[15:29] <raid1ubuntu> yay, grub on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
[15:35] <utlemming> hallyn: ping when you get back, if you would
[15:38] <raid1ubuntu> is there a way to skip swap space wiping at the end of the setup?
[15:52] <hallyn> utlemming: so hm.  it looks like it is defaulting to compat=1.1 which i think should be ok...
[15:53] <hallyn> (meaning it's a bug)
[15:53] <hallyn> utlemming: presumably you can try compat=1.0...
[15:53] <hallyn> no that isn't valid
[15:53] <utlemming> hallyn: yeah, I tried compat=0.10 and it failed
[15:54] <utlemming> hallyn: per what I found, you need 0.10 for pre-1.1 versions
[15:54] <hallyn> d'oh.  i missed htat you were on 12.04 for the mount
[15:54] <utlemming> hallyn: yeah, the problem is going form trusty to precise :/
[15:55] <hallyn> utlemming: but 0.10 works everywhere?
[15:55] <utlemming> hallyn: it seems that it works except on precise
[15:56] <hallyn> I see - in your pastebin, that's the same file?
[15:57] <utlemming> hallyn: it is...test.img created on latest trusty build, and then copied to the latest precise build
[15:57] <hallyn> utlemming: please open a bug.  i'll try to reproduce it with upstream qemu git, hand-built as 1.7 and 1.2 trees
[15:58] <hallyn> (so i can file against upstream)
[15:58] <utlemming> hallyn: sure, doing so now
[15:58] <hallyn> thx
[15:59] <hallyn> utlemming: fwiw there are some other qcow2 related bugs in trusty's git whic i need to nail down
[15:59] <utlemming> hallyn: ack, good to know
[15:59] <tych0> hallyn: so locale-gen is not running when lxc-create is hung
[16:00] <tych0> and setting LANGUAGE, LANG, and LC_ALL to en_US.UTF-8 didn't fix anything :-(
[16:00] <hallyn> tych0: please file a bug;  i'll lose track otehrwise
[16:00] <tych0> hallyn: ok, on ubuntu/lxc or just lxc?
[16:00] <hallyn> ubuntu/lxc
[16:01] <tych0> will do
[16:02] <utlemming> hallyn: bug #1282655
[16:02] <hallyn> smoser: do you have the rights to subscribe the server team to slof bugs?  (I don't)
[16:03] <hallyn> utlemming: thanks.  (with lxc 1.0 release coming today it's good timing :)
[16:03] <utlemming> hallyn: lol
[16:27] <raid1ubuntu> xnox: thx for your help!
[16:28] <raid1ubuntu> cu
[16:28] <xnox> raid1ubuntu: are you all installed now?
[16:28] <xnox> =)
[16:28] <xnox> \o/
[16:36] <joshu__> hi using parted for the first time. I have a new attached disk 4GB. If I use the following command: `    parted -s -a optimal /dev/sdb mkpart primary 645 4294` Does that mean that the root partition will be 4GB and be aligned 32K?
[17:05] <joshu__> cross posting on #ubuntu
[17:08] <ikonia> joshu__: please don't
[17:08] <ikonia> joshu__: ask in the correct channel please, don't post across the channels
[17:08] <joshu__> ikonia won't do again
[17:09] <ikonia> no problem, thanks
[17:32] <bananapie> Hello, is Linux's pppd daemon, which is used for PPPoE, userspace or kernel space?
[17:50] <joshu__> I'm trying in vain but I can't get the right parted command to create the following root partition: ` 1      32.8kB  4295MB  4295MB  primary`
[17:50] <joshu__> the disk is 4gb (4294)
[18:58] <axisys> how to activate the change in nsswitch.conf? changed from 'hosts: files dns' to 'hosts: dns [!UNAVAIL=return] files'
[19:22] <RoyK> axisys: no change needed, the file is parsed on login
[19:32] <axisys> RoyK: hmm.. ok so I didn't need to reload nscd for all this tacplus sessions.. thanks
[19:55] <tych0> hi hallyn, when i do an lxc-start, i'm getting: lxc-start: command get_state failed to receive response
[19:55] <tych0> any ideas what's up?
[19:56] <hallyn> tych0: again - is this on trusty? lxc from ppa, or from trusty archive?
[19:57] <tych0> trusty archive, sorry
[19:57] <hallyn> tych0: how exactly did you create the container?
[19:57] <hallyn> tych0: can you do 'lxc-start -n <container> -l trace -o outout' and then pastebinit outout?
[19:58] <tych0> sudo lxc-create sudo lxc-create -n juju-bootstrap -t ubuntu-cloud -- -r precise
[19:58] <tych0> although when i install cgroup-lite it seems to work
[19:58] <tych0> hallyn: that's enough of a workaround for me; do you want me to trace it?
[19:59] <hallyn> srgraber: ^
[19:59] <hallyn> tych0: lxc is supposed to require cgroup-lite
[19:59] <tych0> ah
[19:59] <tych0> :-)
[19:59] <hallyn> so until cgmanager is in main, yes you  must have cgroup-lite installed
[19:59] <tych0> ok, cool
[20:00] <tych0> that answers my question, thanks!
[20:00] <vfsm> hi all
[20:01] <hallyn> tych0 - np - ttyl
[20:21] <hallyn> tych0: ok back to your locale issue :)  can you reproduce the issue by just putting the lxc-create command inside a 2-line #!/bin/sh script?
[20:22] <hallyn> tych0: and if so, can you do "env" right above the lxc-create, and pastebin the result?
[20:22] <tych0> hallyn: no i did try that
[20:22] <tych0> but i can do an env right before i run it in the script i'm doing now
[20:22] <hallyn> and it fails that way?
[20:29] <tych0> hallyn: doesn't fail in a plain shell script
[20:29] <tych0> just in our crazy cloud installer script
[20:29] <tych0> so i'll have that run env and post that on the bug
[20:31] <hallyn> tych0: actually i think locale isn't to blame here.  i can reproduce your warnings, without a hang
[20:31] <hallyn> i suspect actually that what you  had
[20:31] <hallyn> was a debconf menu waiting for input
[20:31] <tych0> yep
[20:31] <tych0> that's what i was thinking too
[20:31] <tych0> hung in timzeone
[20:32] <hallyn> but why...  you don't get the debconf when you do it by hand
[20:32] <hallyn> stgraber: is there a way to tell apt-get that it should be non-interactive?
[20:32] <hallyn> (regarding bug 1282657)
[20:33] <tych0> it is already doing dpkg -f noninteractive
[20:33] <hallyn> bug in dpkg?  <shrug>
[20:34] <tych0> that would be really unfortunate :-(
[20:34] <tych0> i had some theory about this a while ago
[20:34] <tych0> i forget what it was
[21:18] <Bitwise> Hi, anyone willing to take a look at my configuration? I'm trying to set up a basic mail server but I think there is something wrong with my dns configuration. (I know asking to asking is bad but understanding me may take some time.)
[21:55] <hallyn> hm.  qcow2 snapshots work fine locally on my trusty laptop...
[22:22] <zartoosh> hi
[22:42] <hallyn> time for some git bisect goodness
[22:43] <hallyn> i should come up with a cool script like arges does
[22:43] <hallyn> except every compile requires manual intervention, so it probably wouldn't work too well
[22:44] <hallyn> arges: actually... have you seen this bug?  if you start kvm with a qcow backin store, it works fine on bare metal, but in nested grub fails to  load the kernel
[22:45] <arges> hallyn: nope. haven't seen that one yet : )
[22:45] <hallyn> (or, it could be weird environments involved - my nested case is trusty in precise's qemu on trusty kernel)
[22:46] <hallyn> (but i'm discounting that since jdstrand has seen similar problems)
[22:51] <Bitwise> Hi, how should roundcube be configured in relation to postfixadmin and the maildb? I'm following this guide: http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/
[22:51] <Bitwise> I'd imagine one login should get into all of those services.
[22:56] <Patrickdk> first, what does any of what you said have to do at all with same random link you found in the internet? expecially that link
[22:56] <Patrickdk> as roundcube is an imap client, it should be configured for your imap server, and has nothing to do with postfixadmin
[22:57] <Bitwise> I'm asking about making one login for all of them.
[22:58] <Patrickdk> for all of what?
[22:58] <Patrickdk> so far I only see postfixadmin and maildb
[23:00] <Bitwise> postfix, postfixadmin, roundcube, courier
[23:00] <Patrickdk> in that case, you just have to make courier work
[23:00] <Patrickdk> and make it work the way postfixadmin expects
[23:01] <Patrickdk> though, I dunno why you want to make life so hard on yourself
[23:04] <Bitwise> Patrickdk, I think my courier configuration is correct.
[23:06] <Patrickdk> then there you go then
[23:06] <Patrickdk> everything uses the same password, time to move on
[23:07] <sarnold> 123456
[23:07] <hallyn> well, apparently it's not the first level qemu.  maybe it's actually the 1.0 qemu on the trusty kernel messing something up
[23:08] <Bitwise> I'm trying to add an mx record with noip.com. I see no reason why I can't use mail.mydomain.tld how do I make mail.mydomain.tld resolve to the same my same server?
[23:08] <sarnold> Bitwise: do not use CNAMEs for MX records.
[23:08] <Bitwise> I'm not.
[23:09] <sarnold> good good.
[23:09] <Patrickdk> hmm, cnames are invalid :)
[23:10] <Bitwise> postfixadmin says Invalid domain mail.mydomain.tld, and/or not discoverable in DNS
[23:10] <Bitwise> I have a feeling the same misconfiguration has also been preventing me from sending mail.
[23:11] <Patrickdk> why would that be valid?
[23:11] <sarnold> what does 'host' or 'dig' report?
[23:11] <Patrickdk> tld is not a valid tld
[23:11] <GrueMaster> Is there a simple fix for the vt=7 issue in grub2 on Ubuntu Server (12.04.3/4) installs?  Not finding a working solution on google.
[23:12] <Bitwise> host says it's not found.
[23:12] <Bitwise> I added the mx record using noip.com. I'm not sure if I did it correctly though.
[23:14] <Bitwise> http://screencloud.net/v/3JYT I edited the goodies out but the rest is the same.
[23:39] <Bitwise> Postfix can't receive. It keeps bouncing off mail.mydomain.tld'
[23:39] <sarnold> anything interesting in the logs?
[23:39] <Bitwise> (excluding the apostrophe, that was a typo)
[23:41] <Bitwise> sarnold, Indeed, http://pastebin.com/dCQP6ePv
[23:43] <sarnold> Bitwise: can that machine still not resolve mail.whatever?
[23:44] <Bitwise> host mail.whatever says not found
[23:46] <sarnold> Bitwise: aha, good, you've got something concrete to troubleshoot. figure out why your MX isn't resolvable.
[23:48] <Bitwise> I honestly have no idea where to start.
[23:49] <Bitwise> In /etc/hosts I have 127.0.0.1	localhost\n127.0.0.1	mail.mydomain.tld
[23:49] <sarnold> use whois to find your authoritative resolvers; use dig or host on each of those authoritative servers in turn to query for your MX and then to query the address of the name returned for the MX
[23:49] <sarnold> you should probably delete that last line -- having 127.0.0.1 reverse-lookup to something other than localhost is probably going to break something.
[23:50] <sarnold> change it to 127.0.1.1 or 127.0.2.1 or something if you must keep it
[23:50] <sarnold> but having a fake entry in hosts is going to make troubleshooting your broken DNS so much arder
[23:53] <Bitwise> $ whois mydomain.tld -> NOT FOUND
[23:53] <sarnold> yikes, time to see how good your registrar's support group is :)
[23:54] <sarnold> either check your domain owner interface or give them a call or something.
[23:56] <Bitwise> When I do a whois on some website it gives me the results for no-ip.org
