[08:14] <scyld> Hi ! I Just wonder. I have to 12.04 ubuntu servers. On first /usr/bin/w shows hostnames in FROM column. On second there is an IP address. Both servers have resolving working OK and I can resolve IP addresses with `host`. Is second server misses some packages or what? The difference is only one. First server uses bind named as dns server, the second is using dnsmasq. Please help :)
[08:14] <scyld> s/I have to/I have two/
[08:24] <scyld> hah, found the answer ;)
[08:25] <zubairahmed> would you like to share scyld?
[08:28] <scyld> Sure. Entries in FROM column shown by /usr/bin/w are not resolved – I checked that using tcpdump, they are taken from /var/log/wtmp. Resolving and putting them in wtmp is done by sshd where I have `UseDNS no` on second server :)
[08:29] <DarkStar1> Morning all. I am trying to redirect all http traffic to https and have this setup http://fpaste.org/132677/04240311/
[08:29] <DarkStar1> The http still does not redirect
[08:30] <zubairahmed> nevermind scyld
[08:30] <DarkStar1> I have enabled mod rewrite and can't think of what else I am missing
[08:30] <scyld> https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RewriteHTTPToHTTPS
[08:30] <scyld> DarkStar1: ↑↑
[08:30] <scyld> zubairahmed: ??
[08:31] <zubairahmed> I am an idiot. scyld
[08:32] <scyld> cool
[08:32] <scyld> so bye
[08:50] <DarkStar1> didn't work
[11:26] <HackeMate> hello
[11:32] <lordievader> Hey HackeMate
[12:09] <brontosaurusrex> should there be minidlna in 14.04 ?
[12:10] <lordievader> !info minidlna
[12:10] <lordievader> !info minidlna saucy
[12:10] <lordievader> !info minidlna precise
[12:12] <brontosaurusrex> !info minidlna trusty
[12:12] <lordievader> brontosaurusrex: That's the first one ;)
[12:12] <ogra_> sudo apt-get installl devscripts; rmadison minidlna
[12:12] <lordievader> !info minidlna trusty-backports
[12:13] <ogra_> that will give you all info at once
[12:13] <ogra_> so you dont need to poke the bot 100 times ;)
[12:13] <lordievader> brontosaurusrex: It's in trusty-backports.
[12:13] <brontosaurusrex> ok
[12:14] <lordievader> ogra_: Seems like a nice tool, thanks.
[12:15] <ogra_> :)
[12:15]  * lordievader goes and fidlle with rmadison.
[12:15] <brontosaurusrex> do i want "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-backports main restricted universe multiverse" in sources.list ?
[12:16] <lordievader> brontosaurusrex: Looks about right.
[12:16] <brontosaurusrex> thanks
[12:31] <brontosaurusrex> exit
[13:44] <Perkol> Why php have apache in deps?
[13:51] <jrwren> Perkol: it doesn't, libapache2-php does.
[13:52] <jrwren> Perkol: Depends: libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4) | libapache2-mod-php5filter (>= 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4) | php5-cgi (>= 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4) | php5-fpm (>= 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4)
[13:52] <jrwren> that pipe means or, so to get php via the php5 package, you need one of those. apache, cgi or fpm
[14:04] <jamespage> zul, I pushed a minor fix to the ceilometer branch btw - missing api_paste.ini for the api daemon
[14:04] <zul> jamespage: ok cool
[14:04] <zul> jamespage: i need to see whats needed for horizon
[14:08] <jamespage> zul, ack
[14:09] <jamespage> I saw lots of xstatics coming over
[14:09] <zul> jamespage: yep
[15:43] <shredding> Can someone give me a hint, why logrotate gives errors of the pattern: error opening /var/www/typo3conf/ext/core/Classes/ContentProvider/Logs/1398685036.txt.5.gz: No such file or directory
[15:44] <shredding> logrotate is correct, the file is not there, but i thought the idea is that logrotate creates it.
[16:02] <GeekDude> Getting this problem "sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found" when trying to add a ppa. Everyone says to install "python-software-properties" "software-properties-common", but neither is helping me
[16:04] <jpds> GeekDude: it should be in the latter.
[16:05]  * GeekDude tries again 
[16:05] <GeekDude> jpds: huh. Seems to have worked this time
[16:50] <hallyn> zul: could you in your copious spare time post a ping on https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10490  ?
[16:56] <zul> hallyn: not even copious anymore, but yeah
[16:57] <hallyn> zul: thanks (i don't have an account on that bugzilla;  if you don't have time i can create an account to do th eping)
[17:08] <bfisher-fleig> i'm looking to setup a home vpn
[17:08] <bfisher-fleig> i provisioned an old laptop with ubuntu 14.04 desktop, but it seems to hibernate
[17:09] <bfisher-fleig> will ubuntu server remainly available barring crashes?
[17:10] <StolenToast> can't you just turn off hibernate?
[17:16] <zubairahmed> w
[17:20] <bfisher-fleig> StolenToast thanks! I'll try that
[17:38] <qhartman> Just started using some Trusty HVM images on ec2, and my syslog is getting flooded by messages like this: http://pastebin.com/iMbJXQdS
[17:38] <qhartman> Is there anything to be done about that?
[17:38] <qhartman> My googling hasn't returned anything that seems relevant
[17:50] <qhartman> aha, finally found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1304001
[18:38] <HackeMate> i am in my server using ssh and this message apears: PAM service(sshd) ignoring max retries; 5 > 3
[18:38] <HackeMate> what is that?
[18:39] <StolenToast> I'm logged in to my server at another computer and it is preventing me from editing some files
[18:39] <StolenToast> I can't get to the computer though
[18:39] <StolenToast> how can I kick "me" off?
[18:39] <patdk-wk> hackemate, can be ignored
[18:39] <StolenToast> kill their tty process?
[18:39] <patdk-wk> or you can fix it by limiting login attempts in ssh to 3 instead of 5
[18:40] <sarnold> StolenToast: eh? what error messages are you getting?
[18:40] <StolenToast> trying to start byobu it tells me ERROR: [/root/.byobu] is not writable by the current user
[18:41] <StolenToast> I am the corerct user though and check the dir permissions
[18:41] <StolenToast> *checked
[18:41] <StolenToast> also there is free space
[18:41] <StolenToast> that's happened to me before
[18:41] <sarnold> StolenToast: what's byobu? why does a user account need write access to something in the /root/ directory? that seems very strange
[18:42] <StolenToast> '/root' is just the "root" (root in name only) user's home directory
[18:42] <StolenToast> I thought that was how ubuntu worked
[18:42] <StolenToast> and byobu is a wrapper for tmux
[18:42] <StolenToast> adds a few features
[18:43] <sarnold> StolenToast: well, sure /root is just root's HOME, but .. what user are you? or what permissions are on /, /root, and /root/.byobu?
[18:44] <StolenToast> my user is root and the owner is root and it has rwxrw-rw- permissions or something similar
[18:45] <StolenToast> ubuntu1204:~# ls -hal | grep .byobu
[18:45] <StolenToast> drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4.0K Sep 10 13:09 .byobu
[18:45] <StolenToast> ubuntu1204:~# whoami
[18:45] <StolenToast> root
[18:45] <sarnold> StolenToast: so, if byobu is a tmux wrapper, can you then use 'byobu attach' to re-attach it?
[18:45] <StolenToast> running 'byobu' is equivalent to attach
[18:46] <StolenToast> yeah if I run it I get the same error
[18:47] <sarnold> hmm. well, if another process has it open and thus keeping you from using byobu (seems odd...) then you -could- kill that other task but probably that' dalso kill whatever is running inside of it
[18:50] <teward> does `apt` actually read the content of debian/ NEWS files and then notify users about the change(s) in the NEWS file when the source is a PPA?
[18:51] <teward> s/apt/apt-get/
[18:51] <sarnold> teward: iirc apt-changelog thing reads contents from changelogs.ubuntu.com -- no idea if that server hosts PPA changelogs but it seems unlikely to me
[18:51] <teward> sarnold: okay, that explains it...
[18:52] <StolenToast> sarnold, I can't think of anything I'd be doing to that directory
[18:52] <StolenToast> which is why this is kind of odd
[18:52] <teward> sarnold: nginx in Debian synced the confs with upstream (there had been a delta) and it breaks fastcgi backends, and apt-get doesn't throw a notice
[18:52] <teward> maybe because it's not checking the NEWS file for each package individually and only looking at changelogs.ubuntu.com?
[18:52] <teward> (cc: rbasak)
[18:52] <sarnold> StolenToast: try fuser /root/.byobu, that might show what's going on
[18:53] <StolenToast> '/root/.byobu:        31572c'
[18:53] <sarnold> teward: I wouldn't expect it to, apt just orchestrates package upgrades
[18:53] <StolenToast> not sure what that means
[18:54] <sarnold> StolenToast: hmm, that just means process 31572 has that directory as its current working directory. shouldn't affect anything.
[18:55] <StolenToast> I can see the user who is also running byobu when I do 'w'
[18:56] <StolenToast> byobu is designed for multiple concurrent users, though
[18:56] <StolenToast> and it's never been a problem before
[18:57] <kirkland> StolenToast: are you running byobu as root?
[18:57] <kirkland> StolenToast: how did you become the root user?
[18:57] <StolenToast> if by root you mean elevated no
[18:57] <StolenToast> root is just the name of the default user
[18:57] <sarnold> StolenToast: well, you could break out strace to find out -why- you're getting the error message you are, sometimes applications try to provide "friendly" messages that are less informative than the OS error codes..
[18:58] <StolenToast> never used strace
[18:58] <sarnold> strace is a beast. awesome tool but a tool of last resort :)
[18:58] <patdk-wk> last? :)
[18:58] <StolenToast> do I just strace a command?
[18:58] <sarnold> strace -o /tmp/output  byobu --whatever-args    -- then look in /tmp/output for what went wrong, normally start near the end of the file
[18:58] <kirkland> StolenToast: did you use sudo become root?
[18:58] <kirkland> StolenToast: if so, you need to use sudo -H
[18:58] <sarnold> patdk-wk: yeah, I'd rather read decent logs first :) hehe
[18:58] <StolenToast> kirkland, I am not a "root" user, just a regular user
[18:59] <StolenToast> which happens to be called root
[18:59] <teward> sarnold: sounds counterintuitive due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/nginx/+bug/1366651 which is caused because Debian updated their configs and removed the delta (the NEWS entry never pops up and there's no notice about that to users upgrading).
[18:59] <teward> sarnold: while it's not really 100% of a huge issue because PPA, it seems a little counterintuitive to not check NEWS entries and such for PPA packages...
[18:59] <StolenToast> I gotta go, thanks for the input sarnold and kirkland
[18:59] <kirkland> StolenToast: good luck
[19:00] <sarnold> good luck StolenToast
[19:00] <sarnold> teward: apt doesn't care :) apt just installs packages. it never does anything about NEWS entries or anything else..
[19:01] <teward> sarnold: what does the actual NEWS entry checks and config conflict checks (if any) in Ubuntu then?
[19:01] <sarnold> teward: nothing
[19:01] <sarnold> teward: the conffile handling is different but NEWS is for humans
[19:02] <patdk-wk> teward you sure? those NEWS entries are always displayed for me
[19:02] <teward> sarnold: humans don't know data in the NEWS field unless the system poses it.  Seems a little counterintuitive that it doesn't actually show that.
[19:02] <teward> patdk-wk: haven't seen it yet for my updates/upgrades in any Ubuntu release with standard updates since Jaunty
[19:02] <teward> patdk-wk: and it doesn't appear to do it at all with PPAs
[19:02] <sarnold> patdk-wk: what the heck am I missing? I have no idea what you and teward are talking about :)
[19:03] <patdk-wk> been for me since I used ubuntu in 7.04 :)
[19:03] <patdk-wk> sarnold, changelog notes
[19:03] <teward> patdk-wk: i think we're on two separate things, I'm on the NEWS entry in human-readable format for major change notices to the sysadmins...
[19:03] <sarnold> patdk-wk: and how do you see them? running apt-get changelog by hand or as part of a normal apt-get -u dist-upgrade ?
[19:04] <teward> (would be nice if changelogs're shown as part of upgrade/dist-upgrade though)
[19:04] <patdk-wk> install apt-listchanges
[19:04] <patdk-wk> every apt-get upgrade/dist-upgrade will show them
[19:04] <patdk-wk> I do that on one system, and always update that system first
[19:04] <patdk-wk> then push to the others
[19:04] <sarnold> patdk-wk: wow never seen that before :) thanks
[19:05] <patdk-wk> :)
[19:05]  * patdk-wk teachs ubuntu dev about ubuntu :)
[19:05] <patdk-wk> it's highly annoying on kernel updates though :)
[19:05] <teward> lol
[19:05] <teward> patdk-wk: useful on non-kernel updates, esp. where things might majorly break
[19:05] <patdk-wk> yep
[19:05] <patdk-wk> caught that php-fpm change with it
[19:07] <sarnold> hehe
[19:07] <teward> would be nice if that were included default, but... *shrugs*
[19:09] <patdk-wk> would be nice to be a built in apt-get option :)
[19:09] <teward> mhm
[19:10] <patdk-wk> ok hmm
[19:10] <patdk-wk> am I on ip4 or ip6?
[19:10] <patdk-wk> looks like 4, so my ip6 is acting up again :(
[19:14] <jrwren> comcast reset my ipv6 leases yesterday for the first time in months.
[19:18] <teward> i wish Comcast would actually GIVE ME a v6 address, i've reset my modem TWICE and still haven't gotten v6 :/
[19:20] <genii> teward: Have you done the check at http://test-ipv6.comcast.net/  ?
[19:21] <teward> genii: it's not a question about the cehck, it's that they aren't giving a v6 address
[19:21] <teward> genii: has comcast rolled out v6 everywhere yet?
[19:21] <genii> Not sure.
[19:21] <teward> i'll ask their support tomorrow
[19:21] <genii> Maybe you have a crappy ipv4-only modem
[19:22] <teward> genii: meh, maybe, but meh
[19:40] <jrwren> do you see them announcing ipv6 if you sniff ipv6 on your connection? are you running dhclient -6 ?
[20:23] <xperia> hi all. i would like to format a new drive with the raiser4 filesystem. how can this be done in ubuntu?
[20:27] <genii> xperia: You need the package reiser4progs  and then use mkfs.reiser4 on it
[20:31] <xperia> genii: thanks a lot. will check it out !
[20:32] <genii> Don't forget to partition it first.
[20:33] <blkperl> can someone on the server team take a look at bug 1124250 NFS w/14.04 is unusable as long as this bug exists
[20:36] <Phibs> anyone know how to tell what gpg I need for an unathenticated package
[20:54] <StolenToast> what would make my server's fs a readonly system?
[20:55] <StolenToast> it happens sometimes
[20:58] <Phibs> StolenToast: underlying storage errors
[20:59] <StolenToast> =
[20:59] <StolenToast> =(
[21:01] <Phibs> StolenToast: is it nfs?
[21:02] <StolenToast> im not actually sure
[21:02] <Phibs> ;)
[21:03] <StolenToast> it's happened before I think just a reboot fixed it
[21:03] <Phibs> well you have to find if its NFS
[21:03] <Phibs> or local
[21:07] <StolenToast> oh its local
[21:13] <StolenToast> i guess it is preventing me from rebooting too...
[21:16] <Phibs> hah
[21:16] <Phibs> haha
[21:16] <Phibs> dat hard dizk
[21:23] <Phibs> hmm
[21:23] <Phibs> anyone using ubuntu-cloud stuff?
[21:34] <Phibs> ubuntu makes me cry
[21:34] <Phibs> a lot
[21:35]  * sarnold hubs Phibs 
[21:35]  * sarnold hugs Phibs, too
[21:35] <sarnold> there there buddy, it'll be alright
[21:37] <StolenToast> yeah it was some inode errors
[21:37] <StolenToast> rebooting the server and letting the checker run fixed the issue
[21:37] <Phibs> uhm
[21:37] <Phibs> that's never good
[21:37] <Phibs> sarnold: so I'm using the cloud archive
[21:37] <Phibs> if I install the cloud keyring, packages from it won't install
[21:37] <sarnold> hey StolenToast -- check your dmesg for sata / scsi errors, they are usually pretty loud and obnoxious and you'll see them right away when there's an issue
[21:37] <Phibs> if I remove the keyring, it works....
[21:37] <Phibs> the fuck does that work?
[21:38] <StolenToast> alright
[21:39] <Phibs> StolenToast: you also want to check smartctl
[21:39] <Phibs> your disk is probably dying.
[21:39] <sarnold> Daviey: ^^^ any idea what Phibs is seeing?
[21:42] <Phibs> would be interesting to figure it out
[21:42] <Phibs> makes no sense to remove the cloud keyring :)
[21:42] <Phibs> that repo syntax hurts my head too
[21:43] <Phibs> deb http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise-updates/icehouse main
[21:43] <Phibs> I wish ubuntu didn't do the pool/dist crap
[21:43] <Phibs> mangina!
[21:52] <Phibs> Daviey: pnig
[21:52] <Phibs> Daviey: ping*
[21:53] <sarnold> Phibs: if Daviey isn't around, utlemming or smoser may also be able to help..
[21:54] <Phibs> utlemming: ping
[21:54] <Phibs> ;0
[22:28] <torrentul> L.
[22:28] <torrentul> :/ *
[22:28] <torrentul> can anybody figure out why my shell script wont work :/ https://torrentula.se/irc.sh
[22:29] <sarnold> torrentul: that's an ELF file, not a shell script
[22:29] <torrentul> oh :/
[22:55] <FFForever> Hey hey. Is there an official way to install PHP 5.4 in 14.04?
[22:57] <sarnold> FFForever: nope, I think you're on your own if you want to use php 5.4
[22:58] <FFForever> sarnold, I don't /want/ to. Unfortunately my legacy app doesn't work for 5.5.
[22:59] <sarnold> FFForever: oww :(
[23:03] <FFForever> I know this is a long shot, but is it possible with an app like EXIM to allow open relay, and proxy the messages to a remote host vist TLS/auth credentials?
[23:03] <FFForever> (of course the server will be limited to intranet/vpn connections only)
[23:04] <sarnold> FFForever: heh, that one is probably doable, exim is pretty flexible
[23:06] <FFForever> Let's hope. Yet another legacy app that in this case refuses to let me a) supply a password, b) use any port besides 25.
[23:07] <sarnold> ugh
[23:07] <sarnold> that kind of cruft will bury us all
[23:07] <sarnold> my condolences :)
