| lkthomas | hey guys | 03:10 |
| lkthomas | when I see number of processes on server, it shows around 420 processes running | 03:11 |
| lkthomas | while the loading on each CPU doesn't go more than 5% and it's 16 cores | 03:11 |
| lkthomas | how could I judge if I need to buy more servers in this case ? | 03:11 |
| PryMar56 | lkthomas, do you count kdmflush ? ignore those processes | 03:23 |
| lkthomas | PryMar56: so how could I count it correctly ? :P | 04:04 |

| smb | jamespage, I know smoser has been actioned with this. But I am wondering whether this needs a bit more attention, given that its a regression in Precise and even worse one that causes issues with running clusters. (bug 1185756) | 08:12 |

| mojibake8 | vedic: i did a search, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2003543 | 10:04 |
| mojibake8 | 2nd post says: install display manager or click the link in the 2nd post which asks you to modify bash_profile | 10:05 |
| vedic | mojibake8: I have updated runlevel to 5 already but still it starts in terminal mode | 10:05 |
| vedic | mojibake8: That doesn't help | 10:14 |
| vedic | I have added "[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec startx" to .bashrc file but doesn't work | 10:15 |

| caribou | jamespage: I'm trying to figure out what needs to be passed in authorized_keys/known_hosts between the controller and each compute node | 10:19 |

| caribou | jamespage: the one where relation-set(known-hosts...) explodes with "argument list too long" on the O/S side | 10:20 |
| jamespage | caribou, the base64 encoded parameter gets to be to long | 10:20 |
| jamespage | caribou, indeed | 10:20 |
| caribou | jamespage: yep, that one | 10:20 |
| caribou | jamespage: so right now, the whole file gets encoded in base64. | 10:20 |
| jamespage | caribou,you need to fragment the keys and hosts on the relation from the nova-cloud-controller side, and re-assemble them on the remote side | 10:20 |
| jamespage | nova-compute in this case | 10:20 |
| caribou | jamespage: so one relation-set/get for each line in each file ? | 10:21 |
| jamespage | caribou, that would make sense | 10:21 |
| caribou | jamespage: ah, that helps; I was not sure if the whole file needed to be passed | 10:21 |
| jamespage | caribou, well it does right now because that's how its been coded | 10:21 |
| jamespage | you would need to implement code on both sides of that relation | 10:22 |
| caribou | jamespage: this is the additional info I'm after : do we need to pass the complete files or only part of each one is suficient | 10:22 |
| jamespage | caribou, that's not really the right question | 10:22 |
| jamespage | caribou, you need to assemble a complete file on the compute nodes - how its gets passed is up to the charms | 10:23 |

| Patrickdk | vedic, so? did you try #ubuntu | 11:14 |
| vedic | Patrickdk: I have removed lighdm and just added shell script in .bashrc to start startxcfe4 | 11:14 |
| vedic | Its works now but without login manager | 11:14 |
| Patrickdk | vedic, it's out of scope, that is gui stuff, not -server stuff | 11:15 |

| stetho | Hi all. Does anyone know if there's a way that during a PXE install (or other method) using a KickStart file I can specify the install of a different kernel (3.2.0-56-generic in this case) and make it the default for grub to boot from? I'm currently scripting an apt-get install of the kernel and then rewriting the grub config with cat and I think I'm just asking for trouble doing this BUT I can't see a better way. Any suggestions? | 11:54 |

| patdk-wk | tom, how do you mean, right place? there is no *supported* php 5.4 on 12.04 | 15:50 |

| hallyn | oh, i see | 15:56 |
| hallyn | i think the bug should be marked as affecting tar as well, as a query about backporting the xattr support... | 15:57 |
| hallyn | though i assume it's a feature and so not possible | 15:57 |
| tom[] | patdk-wk: i understand about canonical not including 5.4 in 12.04's packages. what i mean by "right place" is, do y'all think this is a good choice? is there ant consensus on using Ondřej Surý's ppa when you need 5.4 on a 12.04? | 15:57 |

| hallyn | pls assign the precise tar task to me | 16:01 |
| patdk-wk | and then, do you think he will maintain security updates for you | 16:01 |
| hallyn | (or i'll do it in a few mins) | 16:01 |
| patdk-wk | personally, I wouldn't even think about pushing 5.4 onto 12.04, with it being in 14.04 currently | 16:02 |
| patdk-wk | you just upgrade to 14.04 lts, and get security updates for 5years on it | 16:02 |
| tom[] | patdk-wk: you already answered my next question | 16:02 |
| tom[] | i was nervous about 14.04's newness and its hype about openstack | 16:03 |
| patdk-wk | I know atleast in my ppa, I sync security updates as much as possible | 16:03 |
| patdk-wk | I haven't had any real issues with 14.04 | 16:03 |
| patdk-wk | just a few minor things, that aren't production impacting | 16:03 |
| tom[] | but i guess i should be less nervous of that than of unsupported builds | 16:04 |
| patdk-wk | well, there are like 2 security issues a year, generally with php | 16:04 |
| patdk-wk | enough to be concered about | 16:04 |

| stgraber | if we only support 14.04 on 12.04 and won't support 14.10 on 12.04, we may consider just setting the setuid flag again in a SRU which would be a quick and dirty fix for this | 16:17 |
| stgraber | and likely much more easier than backporting the tar change (I also have the concern that busybox's tar likely doesn't support those flags so LXC will need to do some detection...) | 16:18 |

| sarnold | Havenstance: compress the files with gzip? | 17:11 |
| Havenstance | Except wireshark doesn't have the features I want anyway | 17:11 |
| Havenstance | I want to be able to see how much data a particular IP has used over say a 30 day window | 17:12 |
| Havenstance | then I'd open wireshark and capture the packets coming from that machine. | 17:12 |
| Havenstance | So maybe I'm looking for something to use in conjunction with wireshark | 17:12 |
| sarnold | Havenstance: ah you want something completely different then :) | 17:13 |
| Havenstance | well, just something that would capture the packets but rather log the mbps usage? | 17:13 |

| jonascj | Hi all. I run an sftp server (using openssh) ans users are chrooted to /srv/sftp/{username}. What is the prettier solution for this setup regarding the users home directory and the creation of /srv/sftp/{username} (these users only have sftp access, no shell access): 1) to specify /srv/sftp as base dir during user creation and specify an empty skeleton dir (e.g. no files copied to the new home dir), or 2) manually create /srv/sft/{usernam | 17:16 |
| sarnold | jonascj: check out adduser(8) -- the bit about /usr/local/sbin/adduser.local looks useful to you :) | 17:18 |
| jonascj | The end result should be the an empty /srv/sftp/{username} directory. What the users homedir (in /etc/passwd) is doesn't really matter to me. In openssh matching I can chroot to /srv/sftp/%u or %h. I just have to choose the optoin based on whether I set the users homedir to /srv/sftp/{username} or if I set it to something else | 17:19 |
| jonascj | sarnold: thanks, but adduser isn't that great for commandline adding users (from a script), is it? | 17:19 |
| jonascj | or do adduser function just like useradd if I want to? normally one just does "adduser joe" and then you are asked a series of questions (password, room number etc.) | 17:20 |
| zul | jamespage: looks like git is on dep wait for utopic | 17:20 |
| sarnold | jonascj: you can provide e.g. --gecos command line options to specify many things.. I'm not sure if it'll skip prompting entirely or not though... | 17:21 |
| jonascj | sarnold: then I think I'll have to go with the useradd command instead of adduser :) | 17:23 |
| jonascj | since it is automatic creation of triggered by something | 17:23 |
| sarnold | jonascj: makes sense :) if you're already scripting it up, a bit more to create new directories isn't the worst thing :) | 17:24 |
| jonascj | it looks like --gecos disables any interactive part of adduser, but then why user adduser vs. useradd? | 17:25 |
| sarnold | jonascj: for the automatic and cheap /usr/local/sbin/adduser.local execution :) | 17:25 |
| === lazypower-travel is now known as lazyPower | ||
| jonascj | sarnold: oh, and adduser.local holds commands which are run every time a user is added? | 17:26 |
| sarnold | jonascj: yeah | 17:27 |
| jonascj | sarnold: okay, point taken. that could be useful in some situations. | 17:27 |
| sarnold | jonascj: yeah, more useful if you're doing the creating by hand. if you're already scrpiting it up, not as magical :) | 17:28 |
| SpamapS | smoser: --include-xattrs=* ... don't you just love GNU people? "What? You turned on a feature, AND you want it to actually default to being .. on.. when you turn it.. on? CRAZY" | 17:28 |
| jonascj | but really I was just more interrested in the "sematics" of the situation. If the users homedirectory have no special meaning (e.g. it holds no profile informaiton like .profile or .bashrc etc.) should I just set it to /tmp to emphasize that it holds no persistent files. | 17:29 |
| smoser | SpamapS, yeah, i figured that part out. | 17:29 |
| sarnold | jonascj: I'd make sure that only the user in question owns the directory and has write access to the directory. | 17:30 |
| smoser | the fun part is going to be getting that fixed in 12.04 consumption. (ie, 12.04 systems using 14.04 roots) | 17:30 |
| sarnold | jonascj: that assumption is baked into thousands of programs, it'd be best to not screw that one up :) hehe | 17:30 |
| jonascj | sarnold: Then I might as well use the -m option of useradd (to have the homedir created) and "-b /srv/sftp". How then should I ensure that the newly created dir is empty? Specify my own skel-directory ? or empty out the /etc/skel dir? | 17:32 |
| sarnold | jonascj: I'd probably go with the own skel directory, that feels more flexible for long-term modification | 17:32 |
| xtbman | sarnold it worked! :) | 17:35 |
| sarnold | xtbman: nice :) | 17:35 |
| jonascj | sarnold: thanks - those a great suggestions :9 | 17:36 |
| jonascj | * :) | 17:36 |
| sarnold | jonascj: have fun! :) | 17:36 |
| jonascj | hmm, the folder to which sftp users are chrooted needs to be owned by root | 18:02 |
| jonascj | so if I decide to chroot them to their home (/sftp/srv/{username}) then their home needs to be owned by root... | 18:02 |
| jonascj | I do not know if I can put additional ACL on top of that to give the users permission again. | 18:03 |
| jonascj | I know I need to get ACL up and running at some point because normal sftp users should be chrooted to /srv/sftp/{username} but sftp admins should be chrooted to /srv/sftp and have read and wirte access to the /srv/sftp/{username} folders... | 18:04 |
| RoyK | jodh: seems strange. we're using sftp with rssh at work, and users' homedirs are definetely owned by the users' themselves | 18:15 |
| patdk-wk | yep | 18:16 |
| patdk-wk | if you want to use openssh chroot, you have to chroot to a like /home | 18:17 |
| patdk-wk | you could replace ssh with like, proftpd and use the sftp module | 18:17 |
| patdk-wk | you could use a custom sftp program | 18:18 |
| patdk-wk | you could go apparmor crazy :) | 18:18 |
| qhartman | anyone know how to force the order of resolv.conf entries via modification of the /etc/network/interfaces file? | 20:20 |
| qhartman | I'm looking for something like modifying the dhclient.conf config and adding a "prepend domain-name-servers", but I don't know how to change that file with the curtin installer. | 20:21 |
| SpamapS | smoser: so should we expect tarballs w/ xattrs soon on cloud-images.ubuntu.com ? | 20:39 |
| SpamapS | utlemming: ^ ? | 20:40 |
| utlemming | SpamapS: shortly. I just merged the chnage in | 20:40 |
| SpamapS | utlemming: w00t | 20:40 |
| smoser | again, SpamapS it' would have been nicer if you did this 3 weeks ago! | 20:41 |
| smoser | (but thanks for raising it now) | 20:41 |
| SpamapS | smoser: I agree. I did actually test trusty. Just not with nagios. | 20:42 |
| SpamapS | Or the other 3 binaries that use the feature. :-P | 20:42 |
| smoser | SpamapS, what are the other 3 binaries ? | 20:47 |
| SpamapS | smoser: arping, gnome-keyring-daemon ... something else | 20:48 |

| m_tadeu | I'm stuck in initfstab...can anyone tell me how to edit fstab from there? | 21:14 |
| sarnold | m_tadeu: "initfstab"? I'm not sure I've heard of it.. | 21:17 |
| m_tadeu | sarnold: sorry, long day...it's initramfs.... | 21:17 |
| sarnold | m_tadeu: ah, okay; so, you've got a shell? | 21:20 |
| sarnold | m_tadeu: does cat /etc/fstab show you your fstab or the one from the initramfs environment? | 21:20 |
| m_tadeu | sarnold: I'm afraid /etc/fstab it doesn't exist at this point | 21:22 |
| sarnold | m_tadeu: okay; cat /proc/mounts -- do you see your root filesystem mounted anywhere else at the moment? | 21:23 |
| m_tadeu | sarnold: yes...rootfs is mounted in / | 21:24 |
| sarnold | m_tadeu: oh, interesting. I expected /etc/fstab to your fstab in that case. | 21:24 |
| m_tadeu | sarnold: the real root should be a LVM volume and the device is /dev/Root | 21:25 |
| m_tadeu | I changed the volume name, but probable it didn't change fstab | 21:26 |
| sarnold | m_tadeu: hrm, I haven't done LVM before :/ no idea there | 21:27 |
| m_tadeu | sarnold: first time here too | 21:29 |

| keithzg | Hmm. Ran into a bug where logrotate is complaining about mysql, turns out it's a known issue when you've stopped your mysql service . . . and has been around, unfixed, since 2009. Yeesh. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544013 | 23:59 |
| uvirtbot | Debian bug 544013 in mysql-server "mysql-server-5.1: logrotate script cannot handle stopped mysqld" [Normal,Open] | 23:59 |
| keithzg | Wonder if MariaDB solves that :P | 23:59 |
