[00:12] <mgw> TJ- thanks!
[00:34] <treesloth> What's the proper way to write an upstart script for a server program that forks 6 times,  I can track the pids
[08:09] <cocoa117> can tcpdump been used to listen for traffic is not intented for the host it sitting on?
[08:14] <andol> cocoa117: Yepp, tcpdump puts the network device in "promiscuous mode". Of course, you still need to get the traffic somehow, like using a hub or a smart switch with port mirroring.
[08:24] <tomixxx3> hi, i'am installing ubuntu 12.04.04 in order to deploy openstack on it.
[08:25] <tomixxx3> which software packets should i select to install in the console installation procedure?
[08:25] <cfhowlett> !openstack
[08:26] <tomixxx3> kk ty
[08:26] <cfhowlett> !cloud
[08:27] <cfhowlett> tomixxx3, see the download page: http://www.ubuntu.org.cn/download/cloud
[08:28] <tomixxx3> cfhowlett: do you mean NOT openstack and NOT cloud?
[08:30] <cfhowlett> tomixxx3, i'm not the expert ... sorry but I can't provide more practical advice.
[08:30] <tomixxx3> kk, no problem. just wanted to know if your "!" is meant as "NOT"
[08:30] <cfhowlett> no that's the invocation for ubottu's factoids
[08:31] <cfhowlett> !ubuntu
[08:31] <cfhowlett> see what I did there?
[08:31] <tomixxx3> oh ok, ty :-)
[09:45] <makara> hi. One of my servers has changed IP address
[09:45] <makara> I tried ping broadcast `ping -b 192.168.4.0` but it gets hung up with three address
[09:46] <makara> es
[09:46] <makara> and there should be about 80 hosts on the network
[09:48] <makara> i see, most hosts ignore broadcast pings
[09:56] <shorts> Hey, I'm new to Ubuntu server and I'm in the process of setting it up. For the hostname, should I enter the FQDN for a server connected to the net? TIA.
[09:57] <makara> shorts, no just a name
[09:57] <shredding> what's the "*.d" in /etc/*.d directories short for?
[09:57] <shorts> so for example its my first server so I could just use server1 right?
[09:58] <makara> shorts, yeah
[09:58] <shorts> cool. thanks guys...
[09:58] <makara> shredding, sometimes there's a single config file, and sometimes its easier to split them up into separate files
[09:59] <makara> shredding, so .d means directory
[09:59] <shredding> ah, interesting.
[09:59] <shredding> i thought it was daemon.
[09:59] <shredding> thanks
[09:59] <shorts> shredding: thanks for the info. will check that out later
[09:59] <shredding> shorts? Which one?
[10:00] <shorts> Oh... sorry.. you may have been replying to somebody else...
[10:07] <shorts> My second question is... I'm obviously in experimental stage but I'm being asked for partitioning method. I'm using Virtual Box to set this server up for possible production deployment. Should I choose "Guided - use entire disk" or Guided - Use entire disk and VVM and does either choice hinder my possibility making an image for deployment?
[10:10] <shorts> After reading about LVM, I'm thinking that using the entire disk would be the safest as my virtual disk is dynamic? Am I doing this wrong?
[10:11] <mardraum> yes, using virtualbox in production is doing it wrong.
[10:12] <mardraum> and if you are experiementing like you say - experiment!
[10:12] <mardraum> experimenting*
[10:13] <shorts> mardraum: So is there a good way to experiment and get it right and then deploy?
[10:13] <mardraum> testing, validation, documentation?
[10:15] <shorts> OK... I'm just going to use entire disk. Seems stupid to use dynamic partitioning within dynamic partitioning
[10:16] <shorts> mardraum: Thanks
[10:17] <mardraum> the default using lvm is generally considered safe.
[10:18] <shorts> mardraum: would that have been detected based on the fact that I am using a virtual machine?
[10:18] <mardraum> no
[10:18] <shorts> OK thanks
[10:18] <mardraum> lvm has nothing to do with virtual machines
[10:19] <shorts> I guess I will continue with my experiment and learn from my mistakes
[10:19] <mardraum> reading is good too :p
[10:19] <shorts> :) Thanks
[11:17] <hyp3rkyd> hi all, I am trying to use a folder in /media which contains a shared folder (this is an ubuntu guest server 12.04 inside a MAC OS host) and I do not have the appropriate permissions. Only root can access the folder and I have tried to chown the folder or change permissions chmod -R 777 but the access remains the same. any ideas ?
[12:27] <hello123> hey fellas
[12:27] <hello123> i succeeded :D
[12:27] <hello123> now enjoying 20tb
[12:27] <hello123> hdd
[12:42] <osso> good morning
[12:45] <osso> can someone help me? downloaded the ubuntu server 12.04.3, and am trying to install an "IBM x3200 m2", but the following message appears: graphics initialization failed / error setting up gfxboot
[12:46] <osso> someone?
[12:51] <osso> alguém pode me ajudar? baixei o servidor ubuntu 12.04.3, e estou tentando instalar um "IBM x3200 m2", mas aparece a seguinte mensagem: Inicialização gráficos falhou / error criação gfxboot
[13:20] <osso> problem solved "<osso> can someone help me? downloaded the ubuntu server 12.04.3, and am trying to install an "IBM x3200 m2", but the following message appears: graphics initialization failed / error setting up gfxboot", type "help" and enter - there only continue installation and be happy ^ ^!
[13:29] <osso> someone has a tuturial how to configure the "ubuntu server 12.04.3" to spend?
[13:30] <ikonia> to spend ?
[13:34] <osso> ikonia: to pass me *
[13:35] <patdk-wk> hmm?
[13:35] <ikonia> spend to pass you ?
[13:35] <osso> someone has a tuturial how to configure the "ubuntu server 12.04.3" to pass me?
[13:35] <patdk-wk> my wife handles all that kind of stuff
[13:35] <ikonia> osso: what is it you want to do ?
[13:35] <ikonia> to pass you, I'm sorry I don't understand what you want
[13:36] <ikonia> what is it you are trying to make it do ?
[13:36] <osso> ikonia 'm installing ubuntu as a proxy / firewall and I need a tutorial
[13:36] <ikonia> ahh ok, so you want a http proxy ?
[13:36] <osso> yes
[13:37] <ikonia> have a search for squid3 proxy - there are tutorials on the squid website
[13:38] <osso> the configuration is too complicated?
[13:38] <ikonia> it shouldn't be, but you'll need to have a look at the examples to see if it is too complicated fro you
[13:38] <ikonia> for you
[13:40] <osso> ikonia thanks, i'll take a look, just a doubt: is gaphical mode or not?
[13:40] <ikonia> no, there are no graphical utilities for it
[13:41] <osso> ikonia ok
[13:41] <osso> thanks
[13:42] <Atw> Is it critical to update openssl on the server to 1.0.1f ? 12.04 LTS came running 1.0.1
[13:49] <mdeslaur> Atw: all security issues were fixed in the 1.0.1 in 12.04 LTS
[13:49] <mdeslaur> Atw: so no, not critical at all
[15:07] <hallyn> zul: are you touching libvirt today?
[15:11] <zul> hallyn:  no
[15:12] <hallyn> zul: ok, i may push the fix for bug 1285995
[15:13] <hallyn> jdstrand: do you see any problems in the patch attached to bug 1285995?
[15:13] <zul> hallyn:  ok cool im still waiting for 1.2.2 :)
[15:13] <hallyn> where is our bot?
[15:23] <jdstrand> hallyn: is this not the same as the patchset that debfx sent up for 'Allow access to filesystem mounts' (that was accepted)?
[15:24] <hallyn> jdstrand: where was that?
[15:24] <jdstrand> the libvirt list
[15:24] <hallyn> I don't see it in git
[15:24] <jdstrand> from debfx on Jan 26th
[15:25] <jdstrand> hmmm, it was ACKd, maybe they didn't commit it
[15:25] <jdstrand> I have to step into a meeting now
[15:25] <hallyn> ok, thx
[15:26] <hallyn> no that patch is longer
[15:50] <jdstrand> hallyn: it is longer, but it seems like it would fix this issue no? debfx sent that patch up so Debian could have it, and iirc got others from upstream to look at it
[15:52] <jdstrand> hallyn: oh, I see-- I gave a conditional ack based on other upstream comments
[15:52] <jdstrand> and those didn't come
[15:52] <jdstrand> so someone should maybe poke upstream about it
[15:54] <hallyn> jdstrand: i've poked
[16:00] <hallyn> jdstrand: ok, running qrt against the patch from the mailing list
[16:27] <zul> Daviey:  i need to bug you when you are available
[16:29] <xpistos> Hello All. I have a NFS share that was not mounted and something got copied to a local version of the folder. I have remounted the folder so the NFS is back in place, but I need to get the files that are on the local version of the folder. How can I do that?
[16:30] <xpistos> Thanks in advance
[16:42] <Daviey> zul: hey
[19:55] <mgw> can the new lxc userspace tools be used on precise?
[19:58] <sarnold> mgw: I believe they should work, see the mention of "daily ppa" here: https://www.stgraber.org/2013/12/20/lxc-1-0-your-first-ubuntu-container/
[19:59] <hallyn> jdstrand: i'm sorry to bother you, but tbh i just can't decide which patch to take for 9pfs.  between
[19:59] <hallyn> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7012246/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/7012248/.
[19:59] <mgw> sarnold: thanks! that's fantastic
[20:00] <sarnold> mgw: I really enjoyed reading the whole blog series, if you've got a spare hour it would probably be worth reading them :)
[20:00] <hallyn> i guess i'll go with the second.
[20:00] <stgraber> mgw: we also have a ppa:ubuntu-lxc/stable with more stable 1.0 builds for precise
[20:00] <hallyn> (which is the one from the list)
[20:01] <stgraber> note that some features won't work on precise because of the 3.2 kernel (attach and unprivileged containers), however you can use one of the recent backport kernels (3.8 or 3.11) to get lxc-attach working and there's a 3.13 kernel in the kernel team PPA which will even give you working unprivileged containers on precise (I use that on a dozen of servers)
[20:01] <stgraber> sarnold: hey, since you're here, any progress on the cgmanager MIR?
[20:01] <hallyn> I like that the first one sanity checks ctl->def->fss[i]->fsdriver and ctl->def->fss[i]->src
[20:02] <sarnold> stgraber: no, sorry, I've been doing apparmor packaging work that will need an ffe...
[20:04] <psyferre> Hey folks.  So... I did a git reset without remembering an important file I was working on.  Planning to try ext3grep on the offchance I can retrieve the earlier version of the file.  I gather that I need to boot from a livecd so I can get at the umounted root partition.  Is this the best (only?) course of action?
[20:04] <jdstrand> hallyn: I think the 2nd is more futre-proof
[20:06] <sarnold> psyferre: you may also be able to use sysrq "emergency umount" to force it read-only.. but man that's iffy.
[20:06] <hallyn> jdstrand do you see any  point in adding the ->type and ->fsdrive and ->src checks that the first patch does, tothe second test/
[20:06] <psyferre> sarnold: hadn't heard of that... how risky we talkin'?
[20:07] <sarnold> psyferre: files currently open for writing may not be synced, throwing away their contents..
[20:07] <sarnold> psyferre: you coul also do a sync irst, or sysrq sync, but that's also iffy -- it's an advisory thing for the kernel, it may or mayu not get aroud to it.
[20:08] <jdstrand> hallyn: well, that was precisely why I wanted upstream comments. I've not looked at these particular shared files before and how libvirt treats them
[20:08] <jdstrand> hallyn: but, there seems no reason why we can combine them until we get upstream review
[20:08] <hallyn> jdstrand: ok.  I'll combine them and push.  thanks
[20:09] <jdstrand> np
[20:13] <psyferre> sarnold: okay, I'll do a bit of research before I try anything, but the important bits of this machine are all on git - I'm just trying to recover my uncommitted work on a single file.   So, I could do sysrq sync first to minimize corruption of files open for writing, then do an emergency umount of root so I can run ext3grep.  Am I following correctly?
[20:14] <sarnold> psyferre: yeah, I think that's about how I'd try it. keep the livecd idea in mind if ext3grep doesn't get there, perhaps autopsy can help out, but you wouldn't want to install a package that large on the filesystem you're trying to recover from .. so livecd is nice fallback
[20:16] <psyferre> sarnold: Awesome.  Thank you!  You may have saved me a LOT of work. :)
[20:17] <sarnold> psyferre: I sure hope so :)
[20:35] <mgw> stgraber: i'm having all sorts of issues with python3 installing lxc from the stable ppa
[21:37] <pmatulis2> why does trusty have packages samba (4.1.3) and samba4 (4.0.3) ?
[21:46] <kpettit> I just installed ubuntu 13.10 and my NIC's have weird names like p1p1 and p3p1 instead of eth0 and eth1.  Any idea why?
