[03:42] <LeMike> hi there. I just wrote a plugin for nagios and wait for the mail. there should be one. how can I test my new plugin?
[08:31] <Cactusbiter> Hey
[08:32] <Cactusbiter> Can we circlejerk about mynt for a bit?
[08:32] <Cactusbiter> It's been a while
[09:58] <sveinse> I have a 14.04 amd64 server running on a vmware datacenter. It runs kernel 3.10.0-35 based on the linux-image-virtual. We have problems with the server running *extremely* slow when doing our builds and have thus been debugging this from the datacenter side. The server runs much, much slower than a 12.04 cousin running on the same host, doing the same things. Is there anyone here that have...
[09:58] <sveinse> ...experience similar things?
[10:01] <sveinse> Particularly running qemu processes (qemu-arm-static in our case) seems very slow
[10:15] <rbasak> sveinse: on the surface that sounds like a kernel regression. Maybe try some other kernels? #ubuntu-kernel might be helpful too.
[10:19] <sveinse> rbasak: I'll try an older kernel
[11:02] <lynxman> rbasak: hey o/
[11:16] <rbasak> lynxman: hello! Long time. How's it going?
[12:24] <lynxman> rbasak: very well sir, still hanging around here, idling most of the time ;)
[12:59] <[1]Az> hey guys
[12:59] <[1]Az> whats the best way of setting up a repo so i can test updates before deploying them?
[13:00] <cfhowlett> [1]Az, virtualization
[13:01] <[1]Az> erm
[13:02] <[1]Az> i meant more in a whats the software package and config settings kind of way :P
[13:02] <[1]Az> my google fu is too weak to turn up what im looking for
[13:03] <lordievader> [1]Az: Reprepro is a nice tool for maintaining a repo.
[13:05] <[1]Az> this looks sweet
[13:05] <[1]Az> thanks man
[13:08] <Tazmain> Hi all if I have set ufw to deny an ip why does the auth logs still show that ip connecting ? Is that just the firewall logging it or did my entry not take effect yet >
[13:12] <jdstrand> Tazmain: a) ufw uses connection tracking so it won't clock existing connections and b) rules are order sensitive. the deny rule should come before other allow rules that would otherwise let it in
[13:14] <Tazmain> jdstrand, if the connection that keeps coming in is against ssh where it gets denied wouldn't that be a new connection with the retry ?
[13:20] <jdstrand> Tazmain: yes, which is where you'd want to verify rule ordering
[13:21] <Tazmain> Need to change it, it seems
[13:21] <Tazmain> rule 12 is bad
[13:55] <btorch> anyone here using dell r720s with precise and srvadmin tools ?
[13:58] <hallyn> zul: what problem did you have with the add-cgmanager patch in libvirt 1.2.8?  the unapplied patch had all but the configure part removed, but when i copied the utopic version back in it applied with just a shift, and compiled cleanly.  (wondering if i did something wrong :)
[13:58] <hallyn> btw, storms, may be losing power / soon
[13:58] <hallyn> (in which case, biab)
[13:58] <zul> hallyn: i could have done something wrong
[13:59] <hallyn> ok, qrt running, lessee how it goes then i'll look at the diffs for all the files that patch touches
[15:05] <hallyn> zul: where is the corresponding python-libvirt source?
[15:05] <hallyn> (i've never even looked at how you make that)
[15:06] <hallyn> spose i can just build my own
[15:50] <hallyn> zul: eerror: Failed to connect socket to '/home/tgrBozzk/.cache/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory
[15:51] <hallyn> is there a change you know of in libvirt tha taccounts for this?
[15:51] <zul> hallyn,  not that i know
[15:52] <sudormrf> have a question for you guys, I think the answer is yes, but just want to verify.
[15:52] <hallyn> sigh, refetching the qrt tree.  sometimes that fixes weird issues like this :(
[15:54] <sudormrf> so the question is this.  I am going to install a DE on my NUC server for XBMC.  I am going to create an XBMC user that has standard access rights and will autologin to the DE.  my question is, suppose I have something like btsync running currently (xbmc user does not exist) with user A.  If I have this DE going and getting logged in to by the XBMC user, will the btsync program still run as the different user?  btsync is daemonized.
[15:55] <hallyn> what is a DE
[15:55] <cfhowlett> hallyn, desktop environment = unity
[15:56] <hallyn> ok.  well if btsync is running from an upstart job, you can just make sure it runs as the righ tuser there.
[15:56] <hallyn> (iow i don't know, you should be able to make it do what you want, i've never used btsync or xbmc :)
[15:57] <sudormrf> I won't be installing unity, but yeah.  just want to make sure things like nagios and some of the other stuff it is currently doing would not be impacted.  these are all "services" that are either running as root or running as user A (not sure what the right term to use.  I can type service X start/stop/restart/etc) so I was thinking there shouldn't be an issue, just wanted to verify.
[16:17] <hallyn> yup shouldn't be a prob
[16:43] <sudormrf> hallyn, thanks :)
[17:47] <hallyn> zul: jdstrand: all right now these qrt failures are starting to piss me off.  maybe it's actually the kernel.  trying some more update variations
[17:51] <zul> hallyn: which python version are you using?
[17:52] <hallyn> a home-made 1.2.8-0ubuntu1
[17:52] <hallyn> but i'm also having problems with 1.2.6.  but that sometimes works.  sometimes not.
[17:52] <hallyn> trying now with 1.2.6-0ubuntu5
[17:53] <hallyn> (but without rebooting for new kernel)
[17:53] <hallyn> hm, there's no matching python-libvirt for libvirt-bin in utopic right now?
[17:53] <hallyn> so then i have no idea why my last run failed (with 1.2.6-0ubuntu1)
[17:54] <hallyn> when it previously succeeded in another identical vm (both snapshotted from same lvm parent)
[17:56] <hallyn> d'oh, wrong window
[17:57] <hallyn> retrying :)
[18:32] <miceiken> Hey. So I have a Ubuntu server running SSH with key authentication. That is set up and working fine, and I'm able to log in from my desktop (Windows). However, I set up a new desktop with Ubuntu on it, also CLI, how do I add the ssh key to this one so that I can log in from there as well?
[18:33] <sarnold> miceiken: ssh-keygen a new key on your new desktop, ssh-copy-id to copy the public portion into the authorized_keys on your homedir on the server
[18:39] <miceiken> thanks sarnold, that did it :)
[19:06] <zartoosh> hi I am using ubuntu 14.04, I need to develop a daemon to monitor some of the processes and if they die to log and restart the processes. I was wondering if there is already a utility available which I can use? thx
[19:08] <sarnold> zartoosh: the run-one package includes a run-one-constantly utility that might be useful
[19:09] <zartoosh> sarnold, thanks I have never heard of that.
[19:10] <sarnold> zartoosh: daemontools and runit are other choices, and the linux-ha project has some very nice tools for making real high-availability systems
[19:11] <zartoosh> sarnold, oh great thanks so much.
[19:20] <kriskropd> i need help, 'sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt' doesn't seem to really install mcrypt - i dont know what it does, but magento installer doesn't see it and phpinfo(); only displays the author names but not the actual version info for mcrypt or anything
[19:30] <qman__> kriskropd: you may need to restart apache after doing so for it to take effect
[19:58] <kriskropd> qman__: well, I did that earlier as soon as I installed, but it wasn't adequate enuf
[19:59] <kriskropd> i think i might reboot the whole server in am minute to see if maybe something else needs restarting - its a development vm so i can afford it
[21:20] <DieMilchMachts> hi.
[21:20] <DieMilchMachts> im running an nginx server with the user www-data
[21:21] <DieMilchMachts> now i want to acess the /var/www folder via my username (pi) but i have no write permission
[21:21] <DieMilchMachts> so i tried sudo useradd -a -G www-data pi to add myself to the www-group
[21:22] <DieMilchMachts> when I type "id pi" i see, that I am in the right group
[21:22] <DieMilchMachts> but I still have no write permission to the files
[21:22] <DieMilchMachts> any ideas how to fix them?
[21:59] <hallyn> jdstrand: so I notice you just commented that test-libvirt.py from qrt passes all tests for you.  that's on a utopic system, this week?
[22:04] <jdstrand> I did?
[22:04] <hallyn> heh
[22:04] <jdstrand> I have not run that for ages :)
[22:04] <hallyn> in the dbus apparmor bug
[22:05] <jdstrand> oh the FFe?
[22:05] <hallyn> yeah
[22:05] <hallyn> oh that's trusty?
[22:05] <hallyn> no, ffe
[22:05] <jdstrand> no, I was hasty on that DONE
[22:05] <jdstrand> no, utopic
[22:05] <jdstrand> but I am only going to care if it runs the same
[22:06] <jdstrand> (also, that ffe hasn't been given to the release team yet)
[22:06] <hallyn> ok, i wasn't looking to critise, i'm looking ot regain my sanity :)
[22:07] <jdstrand> yeah, I haven't run it yet. I will tomorrow. I have tested it quite a bit but not with wrt
[22:07] <hallyn> wrt?
[22:08] <jdstrand> qrt
[22:08] <hallyn> ok, thanks, i'll try a few more permutations tonight, but i really don't know what's going on with the failures i'm getting, so look forward to seeing if it works for you
[22:08] <hallyn> thanks - gnight
[22:08] <jdstrand> how did you know I needed a nap?
[22:08] <jdstrand> hallyn: g'night :)
[22:18] <hallyn> hm, what is apparmor perm 'c'
[22:18] <jdstrand> creat()
[22:18] <jdstrand> you need 'w'
[22:19] <hallyn> cool, we have 'w', so he's messing something up - thx
[22:19] <jdstrand> np
[23:42] <sarnold> hallyn: I used 'uvt update' to update my VMs, and one of them now has a corrupted qcow2 image. rebooting my thinkpad still won't let me boot the image: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8254455/
[23:57] <linuxgeek_> hi, on 13.10 server 64 bit with virtualization enabled in the server bios and kvm-ok says ok
[23:57] <linuxgeek_> when i do a apt-get install kvm
[23:58] <linuxgeek_> it says note selecting 'qemu-system-x86' instead of 'kvm'
[23:58] <linuxgeek_> why it does not install kvm?
