squisherrbasak, jamespage: I pushed some more changes to bcache-tools, and I think it's ready for a release. It should be all prepped, but it's not tagged yet (waiting for feedback from you guys first)03:01
DonRichieCan somebody give me a link to a tutorial how to make an ubuntu guest ready for a virtio network adapter? Googling confuses me at the moment since the tutorials I find refer to the configuration on the kvm host itself03:15
DonRichieAm I done by installing libvirt-bin and then enabling virtio for the adapter on the KVM Host system?03:17

pvloshello guys, I read that a backport for apache may be released for <apache2.4 versions regarding the logjam attack10:18
pvlosis there any ETA for the packages?10:19
pvlosI am using 12.0410:19
bekkspvlos: Which CVE is it?10:25
pvlosbekks: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2015/CVE-2015-4000.html10:25
=== Wiched is now known as Guest17537
bekksWell, 2.2 is currently in needs-triage. So no need to backport 2.410:27
bekksThe link can be found in your link :)10:27
pvlosbekks: I know but the 'needs-triage' may stay forever10:29
bekksAs for every bug. There is no guarantee that a bug will be fixed.10:29
pvlosbekks: the bug is critical though10:30
pvlosis there any way to fix the issue withou the backports?10:31
pvloswithout^10:31
bekksWhich makes it very likely that it will be fixed, but still no guarantee10:31
pvlosi see10:32
bekksAnd since 12.04 (and 2.2 with it) are supported until 2017, it is not likely that a backport isneeded. Instead, 2.2 will be fixed.10:32

lukasa_Hey all: does the cloud archive repository lag behind the cloud-archive staging PPA?13:57
lukasa_Because the cloud archive Kilo staging PPA contains a fix for libvirt that does not appear to have made it to the package source that is added by apt-add-repository cloud-archive:kilo13:57
jamespagelukasa_, it will get there - the staging PPA is a holding area for entry in the stable update process14:20
jamespagelukasa_, those updates are in proposed - http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/ubuntu-server/cloud-archive/kilo_versions.html14:22
jamespagejust pending some testing14:22
=== Wiched is now known as Guest16452

jamespagelukasa_, normally minimum of a week14:49
jamespagelukasa_, those ones colided with last weeks summit - apologies14:49
lukasa_jamespage: No worries, it happens. =) Just wanted to make sure I understood what was happening. For testing we can temporarily use the kilo-staging PPA. =)14:50
jamespagelukasa_, use the proposed pocket14:50
jamespageadd-apt-repository cloud-archive:kilo-proposed14:50
lukasa_Ah, much better idea, thanks!14:51
jamespagelukasa_, that way you will use exactly the same binary as we release to updates14:51
jamespagelukasa_, i've just kicked off the testing - if that succeeds, I'll push through today14:58
jamespagemean't to be taking two days off :-)14:58
lukasa_That's extremely kind of you jamespage, thanks so much. =)14:58
jamespagelukasa_, no problemo14:58
lukasa_In return, I promise to ask you no further questions for a week or so14:58
lukasa_(If only because I'm on holiday myself. ;) )14:58

turambarhi, any experts on pxeboot here? :)15:09
turambari want to know if it is possible to provide a kickstart file on the server that provides the netboot infrastracture via its local filesystem instead of an url15:10
rbasakHow would a booting machine get to the local filesystem on the boot server?15:18
Ameuruxthe question is not clear15:20
arykleinis there any good reason why ubuntu cloud image comes with grub-legacy instead of grub2?15:44
arykleinis there any good reason why ubuntu cloud image comes with grub-legacy instead of grub2?15:45
geniiaryklein: Ask whoever provided the images, Like Amazon or whoever it is15:46
arykleingenii: I got it from https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/15:47
arykleingenii: so this is the reason why I'm asking it here15:47

=== lifeless_ is now known as lifeless
geniiaryklein: From what I can find, it's due to an issue between Xen Hypervisor and Grub216:02

gartralhey all, I'm working colaboratevly on a server backend with someone and I've been wondering; is it possible to share a proccess, or control there of, to a group of people like you can files?16:29
sarnoldgartral: shared tmux or screen sessions17:31
sarnoldgartral: it's perhaps not as easy/transparent as sharing files, but it works well enough17:31

baggar11When did linux-generic-lts-vivid drop?19:03
baggar11Am I seeing it right, that it dropped on the 21st?19:03
baggar11for 14.04...19:04
sarnoldlooks like the 20th to me https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-lts-vivid19:04
baggar11sarnold: thanks, wasn't sure if it was the proposed date or the updates date on the 21st19:05
sarnoldthe "full publishing log" shows 2015-05-20 17:13:35 PDT -- presumably it'll localiz e to your timezone if you visit https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-lts-vivid/+publishinghistory19:05
broderis it possible to access a copy of the archive in s3? we were hoping to point some of our servers at one of the new in-vpc s3 endpoints19:10
broder(i see $region.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com, but it looks like that points at ec2 instances)19:10
sarnoldbroder: I suggest checking in #ubuntu-mirrors -- I know some of the aws mirrors were on s3, but there were reliability issues, I don't know if they have been addressed or replaced with ec2 instances..19:12
broderah, cool. will do - thanks!19:12
sarnoldit seems like it's been a while since I've heard reliability complaints there.. hehe19:12
broderi've been trying to piece together what happened from email archives. it looks like it was originally s3, but i suspect they moved to ec2 because something something snapshot consistency19:13
tyler_wy1ieo/ has anyone here who's used fai configured their grub? i'm running into some snags trying to fix it19:33
gartralsarnold: the issue with shared tmux/screen is that it's a huuuge security hole... I don't want the other members to run programs as the dedicated user..19:58
gartralsarnold: if I wanted to do what you were suggesting I would have just given them an SSH key for the user19:59
gartralalso I have an edge-case issue that I'm unsure how to reslove.. I have a code base that I need to import from a *VERY* old backup, we're talking 5-1/2 inch floppies, I happen to HAVE a 5-1/2 inch floppy drive so that's not a problem... the problem is there's hundreds of files and they're all upper-case, how can I squash-case them without doing it file by file, by hand?20:03
* gartral makes a mental note that he should have used better punctuation there...20:06
sarnoldgartral: try mount(8) option shortname=lower20:07
gartralsarnold: already tried, i got no data transfered20:08
sarnoldoh :(20:08
jdstrandsarnold: that is an interesting idea. I would going to suggest rename(1p)20:08
jdstrands/would/was/20:08
sarnoldgartral: you can probably also configure sudo to let your pals run a few specific commands as a specific user..20:08
gartralsarnold: I have them safely on the HDD, I just want a move command that'll squash-case20:08
sarnoldjdstrand: heh, that was goiong to be my suggestion if the mount option didn't work :)20:09
jdstrand:)20:09
gartraloh dear god this is going to be fun compiling later, it's partially written in f***ing LISP20:10
gartralcan GCC even handle in-line lisp? >.<20:11
sarnoldyou may have better success getting emacs to do C :)20:12
* sarnold runs20:12
gartralLOL20:12
gartralo.o ok, never mind... whoever wrote this was a bloody genius... there's a LISP parser, written in C, in the code to handle the Lisp in-line... I now feel wholy under-qualified to even touch these disks20:14
gartralan-e-way how would I go abuot squash-casing these?20:19
jrwrenis it gnu common lisp?20:26
tonyyarussogartral: What was wrong with the rename suggestion?21:11
* genii ponders rename 'y/a-z/A-Z/' 21:24
innohello, i maintain an ubuntu vps for my blog, which i command from a mac via ssh21:33
innoi'd like to backup and move my production site to my local mac, make changes and then upload back to production the changes21:34
innoi'm trying to setup an rsync deal, but was wondering if that's the way to go, or should i use scp21:34
innoor... ?21:34
innoi'm kinda new to all of this21:34
sarnoldrsync is awesome, definitely beats scp individual files or re-copying everything needlessly21:34
sarnoldno need to run an rsync daemon though, just rsync -e ssh ... is sufficient21:35
sarnold(and probably the -e ssh isn't even needed these days)21:35
sarnoldconsider also using git; a local and remote repository, so you can just pull changes when you make them; thishas proven popular on e.g. heroku21:35
innoyeah, i'm looking at git as well for this and currently have the site dir as a git repo as well21:36
innoi'm using ghost for the blog and it requires turning off the ghost service before doing anything with the database, so i'm not sure yet how to handle that21:37
innowith the git solution21:37
innowith the rsync one, i wrote a script i run on my mac that ssh's into the vps, stops the service, rsyncs everything, and then starts the service again21:37
innoi modified the sudo config so that a password isn't required over ssh when starting and stopping the service for my user21:40
innois this the right approach?21:40
innoand should I set a delay after the call to stop the service to make sure it stops before running the rsync command (the next line in the script)?21:40
=== _thumper_ is now known as thumper
sarnoldit's probably fine if it's a single-purpose system21:40
sarnoldplease promise me you're using ssh keys rather than passwords though :)21:40
sarnoldthere may be a way to use e.g. status <foo> to find out if the service is still running or not21:41
innohaha, i am using ssh keys to connect, although it used to ask me for passwords for sudo commands until i made that change21:42
innois there something else i need to do?21:42
innoah, that would be awesome to check for the service status and then run the rsync21:42

harushimoCan I install maas on a VM?22:48
harushimoI've been doing that last couple times22:48
sarnoldhey harushimo :) I thuoght of you when this got pasted around the other day: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/cloud/install-ubuntu-openstack22:49
harushimoI did22:50
harushimoI couldn't get passed step 322:50
harushimoI needed to redo my VMs again22:51
harushimohehe22:51
harushimoits an experiment22:52
sarnoldd'oh :)22:52
speedyhi22:52
harushimosarnold: any tips?22:55
sarnoldharushimo: you should be able to do maas in a vm, though that does mean your VM needs to be configured properly to allow the vm guest to do all the raw networking it wants to22:56
sarnoldso it can't do NAT and that kind of stuff around the vm22:56
harushimosarnold: I've  been following http://marcoceppi.com/2012/05/juju-maas-virtualbox/22:57
marcoceppiharushimo: that guide is pretty out of date now22:58
harushimomarcoceppi: any tips22:58
marcoceppiharushimo: it's much better to use libvirt and qemu since MAAS can actually use that as a power type22:58
harushimomarcoceppi: do you have some instructions on that22:58
marcoceppiharushimo: not really, there are some on the MAAS website but they are kind of incomplete. I can do a blog post tonight if you'd like about it22:59
harushimomarcoceppi: that would be great22:59
harushimomarcoceppi: I can't get pass step 3 on that documentation22:59
harushimomarcoceppi: I've been trying to install openstack so I can install cloud foundry23:00
marcoceppiharushimo: well you're going to want something more than VMs23:01
harushimomarcoceppi: oh really?23:01
marcoceppiharushimo: yeah, I mean eventually23:01
harushimomarcoceppi: I agree..sorry this for my dev purposes23:02
harushimomarcoceppi: I would need more than VMs23:02
marcoceppiharushimo: how are you deploying cloud foundry?23:12
harushimomarcoceppi: It will be done through openstack23:15
harushimomarcoceppi: I need to install hypervisor which is openstack and I install over that23:16
marcoceppiRight right, no worries. Okay, I need to fix my MAAS machine but once that's sorted I'll start on the blog post/video23:17
harushimomarcoceppi: thank you so much23:18
harushimomarcoceppi: companies are going this route. I want to be learn the technology and sell myself too23:19
harushimomarcoceppi: I'll continue to experiment23:19
