NautilusI have a 12.04LTS VPS, the fs was in read-only mode so I rebooted. When it was coming back up it detected fs problem(s). I hit the "F" to fix them. Is there a way for me to tell if something is messed up now?04:13
Nautilusanyone awake that can helkp me with making certs? Per https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/certificates-and-security.html#generating-a-csr I've made a self-signed root cert, made a key with a passphrase and am trying to make a key w/o a passphrase for daemons. The message I'm getting is that it must be 4 to 8191 characters.04:53
Nautilusoh wait, nm, it's asking me the passphrase for the root cert04:54
Nautilussorry. that worked of course04:55

cornernotehi, i have an ubuntu server and it doesnt send cron output to an external email account05:58
cornernotein "crontab -e" MAILTO=me@my.com05:58
cornernotebut it gets sent to root, not me@my.com05:58
Dicerollhi... i ve got a problem since the last update on 13.10 : vsftpd won't start anymore... when i launch it manually it said : 500 OOPS: munmap08:16
Dicerollany clue ?08:16
Dicerollnothing in /var/log/vsftpd.log08:16
twbDiceroll: does it say anything interesting before that?08:17
twbmunmap is the opposite of mmap(2) -- a syscall that lets a program slurp a file into memory08:17
Dicerollnope... at least not where i looked08:17
Dicerollhow can i safely remove the current linux-image and revert to the previous one (i ve only ssh access to the box)08:20
Dicerollis it ok if i remove with : apt-get purge and then just restart ? i mean is it safe to do that (cause it sounds pretty ugly) ?08:23
twbDiceroll: if you're using grub, I vaguely remember there is a command like "on the next boot, default to <this>"08:26
twbYou can just purge the current kernel, but make triple sure that grub.cfg ends up with the default you expect08:26
twbOh, wait, if you're *running* the kernel at the time, don't remove it.08:26
Dicerolli do indeed08:27
twbIf you can't find the grub thing, you could also try kexec-tools08:27
Dicerollok i'll try the grub thing08:27
twb(Although lately vendors have been disabling kexec by default -- I don't know if ubuntu has yet.)08:27

hallynsmb: hi15:30
smbhallyn, re-hi15:30
hallynsmb: i did some testing with nested qemu.  My findings:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/6987525/15:30
hallynsmb: is there an existing kernel bug you have open to track this?15:30
hallynmaybe I should use https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/127853115:31
smbor potentially bug 120845515:32
hallynsmb: I consider this one very important.  nested kvm worked will in precise.  I'ts been on the decline, and doesn't work in trusty.  Do you have time to look into it, or is this a spare-time thing?  (If you dont' then I"ll dig into kernel causes)15:32
jamespagecoreycb, afternoon15:32
jamespagere you merge for neutron15:32
hallynsmb: no, that one seems different,15:32
jamespagelooks generally good - however you needed to target the branch you checked out for the MP15:32
jamespagelp:~ubuntu-server-dev/neutron/icehouse15:32
hallynit may be same root cause in the end, but it's i386-only15:32
jamespageI resubmitted against the right one for you15:32
hallynI'm not saying jodh is less important :)15:32
smbhallyn, Yeah, you say it hangs15:33
smbhallyn, Oh wait15:33
coreycbjamespage, ok thanks I'll take a look15:33
jamespagecoreycb, zul provided a bit of feedback as well re bug tracking15:33
smbhallyn, 32bit kvm in Trusty kernel has some issue even without second level15:33
smbhallyn,  bug 127853115:34
smbhallyn, too many tabs... I meant 126890615:35
hallynsmb: right15:35
hallynsmb:  I could be wrong, but am claiming that is less important15:35
smbhallyn, But that would be a host on T issue... So S host15:35
hallynsmb: all of my testing has been 64-bit only15:35
coreycbjamespage, ok I'm adding the bug# to the changelog.  thanks for reviewing!15:36
jamespagecoreycb, np15:37
smbhallyn, Ok, I think you add a new class maybe15:37
zulhallyn:  so libvirt 1.2.2...its suppose to be out the next week right?15:37
zulhallyn:  oh wait im not on holiday next week never mind :)15:37
smbhallyn, Ok, and bug 1278531 was actually for that.15:38
hallynsmb: eh, it's worse than that15:38
hallynzul: lucky you :)15:38
hallynsmb: so it's actually only qcow2 that has a problem (maybe).  But ubuntu release is irrelevant15:38
hallynsmb: it's purely to do with kernel version15:38
hallynprecise host with saucy kernel hangs with 100% cpu just like a saucy host does;  precise host with trusty kernel fails to boot qcow2 just like trusty does15:38
smbhallyn, Well I would think anything with qcow2 would be in the qemu code...15:39
hallynsmb: well it may be differnet root cause, but yeah.  ok so i'll track it there.15:39
hallynsmb: i'll spend some time this week digging.  if you have time to look into it pls keep me uptodate15:39
smbhallyn, Let us use you bug to put info in15:39
smbhallyn, *your I meant15:40
smbhallyn, what kind of system are you using for your tests? amd of intel cpu?15:40
hallynsmb: intel cpu (vostro laptop).  i originally ran into it on my intel cpu server (precise userspace with trusty kernel)15:42
hallynsmb: i'll add the info to that bug in a few mins - thx15:42
smbhallyn, ok.15:42

MeatplowThanks RoyK17:11
RoyKMeatplow: that is - don't think I've tried it on 12.04, but running older RHEL/CentOS on similar hardware, so 12.04 should work well17:14
MeatplowRoyK:  -   that seems to be what I've skimmed in a couple support links. as well17:14
RoyKMeatplow: I've tried 10.04 on an r300, and it worked well17:23

LcawteHi, I'm having a bit of a problem with my Ubuntu Server install (13.10)... it's connected to my router via ethernet, but when I boot it gets to "waiting for network connection..." and doesn't manage to pick anything up.

TempesztHi folks.  I've got a 12.04LTS server that I'm running Minecraft server on, and I used "at" to start the server, which is normally rather interactive on the console.  now, however, it's running, but it doesn't have a pts associated with it, and I'd like to be able to control it.  any thoughts or advice?17:55
smoserTempeszt, i'd suggest maybe running it via screen17:57
Tempesztthat's what I normally do, and I didn't know that "at" wouldn't start it interactively within the screen where I set it up.17:57
smoserat wouldn't do that, no17:58

marcoceppi_hey jamespage, how likely is glusterfs MIR to make it for 14.04?18:04
Lcawtepmatulis_: I think I may have worked it out (did some googling, found out about ethtool and tried a couple of different eth<insert number> interfaces, looks like for some reason it decided to change interface) doing some tests now18:04
smbhallyn, I updated the bug as well, could you have a look and sanity check whether I understood the setups correctly. I would go and look into those in more detail tomorrow18:05
hallynsmb: will look, thanks18:06
jamespagemarcoceppi_, that depends entirely on the resourcing in the MIR team18:06
pmatulis_Lcawte: good stuff18:06

hallyncyphermox: stgraber: bug 1205086, does removing --strict-order seem like the right thing to do?22:13
cyphermoxhallyn: well, it will likely fix the problem for the reporter22:16
cyphermoxhallyn: not sure if there is an actual reason why --strict-order is set there22:16
hallynwill it cause problems for anyone else22:16
hallyni'm nto sure either22:17
cyphermoxassuming stgraber is the one who set this up the way it is, I'd wait for his answer :)22:17
stgraberfrom what I remember, strict-order makes dnsmasq query the first server, on failure (NXDOMAIN isn't a failure), it'll then fallback to the next, etc...22:18
stgraberremoving strict-order, makes dnsmasq query all servers22:18
stgraberwhich for most people would mean doubling or tripling the DNS traffic22:18
hallynreally i just don't understand why there isn't a "ping the other servers if first doesn't have an entry for this" option22:19
hallynremoving strict-orer makes it random order right?22:19
hallynnot query-all22:19
stgraberit makes it query all22:19
stgraberunless that changed, dnsmasq changed quite a bit since we dealt with that stuff in 12.0422:20
hallynIn comment #2 (point 2) in that bug, i was going based on documentation i think.22:21
cyphermoxmy bofh brain says the right fix is for that VPN dns to become recursive...22:22
stgraberright, reading current dnsmasq manpage, dropping strict-order should be fine, however this wouldn't solve this bug22:23
stgraberit'd just make it random instead of reliably wrong22:23
hallynwell i did think comment #4 was "the right fix"22:23
hallynright22:23
hallynthough he claims it did fix it for him.  <shrug>22:23
stgraberstrict-order guarantees the dns servers are processed the same way the libc would, without it, the servers are taken in random order, but if the first queries server returns NXDOMAIN the request will still fail22:24
stgraberwell, it could be that the libc resolver attempt the request twice or something along those lines22:24
stgraberand by chance the order is sufficiently random that trying twice is enough?22:24
hallynwhich is NOT sufficient to make that change to the package :)22:25
stgraberright. If the reporter is using a desktop machine, the real fix is to use NetworkManager which will properly setup dnsmasq to only use the VPN dns server for requests relevant to it22:26
stgraberhallyn: ok, so just did some tests. The problem there is clearly that the remote dns server is misconfigured. Trying with mine, I get NXDOMAIN for an invalid domain from a recursive server (as I should) but SERVFAIL for a domain outside the scope of a non-recursive server.22:30
stgraberSERVFAIL causes dnsmasq to query the next server, NXDOMAIN doesn't.22:30
stgraberSERVFAIL is nsd's response when non-recursive. REFUSED is bind's response when non-recursive. Both work with dnsmasq.22:31
hallynso he has a non-recursive dnsd responding as though it was recursive?22:32
stgraberif he's getting NXDOMAIN, yes22:32
stgraberit looks like there's no way of properly turning off recursion in dnsmasq, no-resolv only prevents it from getting upstream servers (so it'll rightfully return NXDOMAIN) and dns-forward-max is meant as a tweak for long resolving chains, not as a way to block recursion22:37
stgraberso my suggestion there is, don't use dnsmasq22:37
