[03:01] <squisher> rbasak, 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)
[03:15] <DonRichie> Can 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 itself
[03:17] <DonRichie> Am I done by installing libvirt-bin and then enabling virtio for the adapter on the KVM Host system?
[08:30] <rbasak> squisher: OK, I'll take a look.
[08:35] <lordievader> Goodmorning.
[10:18] <pvlos> hello guys, I read that a backport for apache may be released for <apache2.4 versions regarding the logjam attack
[10:19] <pvlos> is there any ETA for the packages?
[10:19] <pvlos> I am using 12.04
[10:25] <bekks> pvlos: Which CVE is it?
[10:25] <pvlos> bekks: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2015/CVE-2015-4000.html
[10:27] <bekks> Well, 2.2 is currently in needs-triage. So no need to backport 2.4
[10:27] <bekks> The link can be found in your link :)
[10:29] <pvlos> bekks: I know but the 'needs-triage' may stay forever
[10:29] <bekks> As for every bug. There is no guarantee that a bug will be fixed.
[10:30] <pvlos> bekks: the bug is critical though
[10:31] <pvlos> is there any way to fix the issue withou the backports?
[10:31] <pvlos> without^
[10:31] <bekks> Which makes it very likely that it will be fixed, but still no guarantee
[10:32] <pvlos> i see
[10:32] <bekks> And 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.
[13:57] <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:kilo
[14:20] <jamespage> lukasa_, it will get there - the staging PPA is a holding area for entry in the stable update process
[14:22] <jamespage> lukasa_, those updates are in proposed - http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/ubuntu-server/cloud-archive/kilo_versions.html
[14:22] <jamespage> just pending some testing
[14:32] <lukasa_> jamespage: ah great, thanks
[14:32] <lukasa_> Out of interest, do you know what the timeline usually is?
[14:49] <jamespage> lukasa_, normally minimum of a week
[14:49] <jamespage> lukasa_, those ones colided with last weeks summit - apologies
[14:50] <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] <jamespage> lukasa_, use the proposed pocket
[14:50] <jamespage> add-apt-repository cloud-archive:kilo-proposed
[14:51] <lukasa_> Ah, much better idea, thanks!
[14:51] <jamespage> lukasa_, that way you will use exactly the same binary as we release to updates
[14:58] <jamespage> lukasa_, i've just kicked off the testing - if that succeeds, I'll push through today
[14:58] <jamespage> mean't to be taking two days off :-)
[14:58] <lukasa_> That's extremely kind of you jamespage, thanks so much. =)
[14:58] <jamespage> lukasa_, no problemo
[14:58] <lukasa_> In return, I promise to ask you no further questions for a week or so
[14:58] <lukasa_> (If only because I'm on holiday myself. ;) )
[14:58] <jamespage> lukasa_, well until monday nayway
[15:09] <turambar> hi, any experts on pxeboot here? :)
[15:10] <turambar> i 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 url
[15:18] <rbasak> How would a booting machine get to the local filesystem on the boot server?
[15:20] <Ameurux> the question is not clear
[15:44] <aryklein> is there any good reason why ubuntu cloud image comes with grub-legacy instead of grub2?
[15:45] <aryklein> is there any good reason why ubuntu cloud image comes with grub-legacy instead of grub2?
[15:46] <genii> aryklein: Ask whoever provided the images, Like Amazon or whoever it is
[15:47] <aryklein> genii: I got it from https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/
[15:47] <aryklein> genii: so this is the reason why I'm asking it here
[16:02] <genii> aryklein: From what I can find, it's due to an issue between Xen Hypervisor and Grub2
[16:02] <aryklein> genii: ah ok. Thanks for the info
[16:29] <gartral> hey 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?
[17:31] <sarnold> gartral: shared tmux or screen sessions
[17:31] <sarnold> gartral: it's perhaps not as easy/transparent as sharing files, but it works well enough
[19:03] <baggar11> When did linux-generic-lts-vivid drop?
[19:03] <baggar11> Am I seeing it right, that it dropped on the 21st?
[19:04] <baggar11> for 14.04...
[19:04] <sarnold> looks like the 20th to me https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-lts-vivid
[19:05] <baggar11> sarnold: thanks, wasn't sure if it was the proposed date or the updates date on the 21st
[19:05] <sarnold> the "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/+publishinghistory
[19:10] <broder> is 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 endpoints
[19:10] <broder> (i see $region.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com, but it looks like that points at ec2 instances)
[19:12] <sarnold> broder: 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] <broder> ah, cool. will do - thanks!
[19:12] <sarnold> it seems like it's been a while since I've heard reliability complaints there.. hehe
[19:13] <broder> i'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 consistency
[19:33] <tyler_wy1ie> o/ has anyone here who's used fai configured their grub? i'm running into some snags trying to fix it
[19:58] <gartral> sarnold: 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..
[19:59] <gartral> sarnold: if I wanted to do what you were suggesting I would have just given them an SSH key for the user
[20:03] <gartral> also 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?
[20:06]  * gartral makes a mental note that he should have used better punctuation there...
[20:07] <sarnold> gartral: try mount(8) option shortname=lower
[20:08] <gartral> sarnold: already tried, i got no data transfered
[20:08] <sarnold> oh :(
[20:08] <jdstrand> sarnold: that is an interesting idea. I would going to suggest rename(1p)
[20:08] <jdstrand> s/would/was/
[20:08] <sarnold> gartral: you can probably also configure sudo to let your pals run a few specific commands as a specific user..
[20:08] <gartral> sarnold: I have them safely on the HDD, I just want a move command that'll squash-case
[20:09] <sarnold> jdstrand: heh, that was goiong to be my suggestion if the mount option didn't work :)
[20:09] <jdstrand> :)
[20:10] <gartral> oh dear god this is going to be fun compiling later, it's partially written in f***ing LISP
[20:11] <gartral> can GCC even handle in-line lisp? >.<
[20:12] <sarnold> you may have better success getting emacs to do C :)
[20:12]  * sarnold runs
[20:12] <gartral> LOL
[20:14] <gartral> o.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 disks
[20:19] <gartral> an-e-way how would I go abuot squash-casing these?
[20:26] <jrwren> is it gnu common lisp?
[21:11] <tonyyarusso> gartral: What was wrong with the rename suggestion?
[21:24]  * genii ponders rename 'y/a-z/A-Z/' 
[21:33] <inno> hello, i maintain an ubuntu vps for my blog, which i command from a mac via ssh
[21:34] <inno> i'd like to backup and move my production site to my local mac, make changes and then upload back to production the changes
[21:34] <inno> i'm trying to setup an rsync deal, but was wondering if that's the way to go, or should i use scp
[21:34] <inno> or... ?
[21:34] <inno> i'm kinda new to all of this
[21:34] <sarnold> rsync is awesome, definitely beats scp individual files or re-copying everything needlessly
[21:35] <sarnold> no need to run an rsync daemon though, just rsync -e ssh ... is sufficient
[21:35] <sarnold> (and probably the -e ssh isn't even needed these days)
[21:35] <sarnold> consider also using git; a local and remote repository, so you can just pull changes when you make them; thishas proven popular on e.g. heroku
[21:36] <inno> yeah, i'm looking at git as well for this and currently have the site dir as a git repo as well
[21:37] <inno> i'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 that
[21:37] <inno> with the git solution
[21:37] <inno> with 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 again
[21:40] <inno> i modified the sudo config so that a password isn't required over ssh when starting and stopping the service for my user
[21:40] <inno> is this the right approach?
[21:40] <inno> and 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] <sarnold> it's probably fine if it's a single-purpose system
[21:40] <sarnold> please promise me you're using ssh keys rather than passwords though :)
[21:41] <sarnold> there may be a way to use e.g. status <foo> to find out if the service is still running or not
[21:42] <inno> haha, i am using ssh keys to connect, although it used to ask me for passwords for sudo commands until i made that change
[21:42] <inno> is there something else i need to do?
[21:42] <inno> ah, that would be awesome to check for the service status and then run the rsync
[22:48] <harushimo> Can I install maas on a VM?
[22:48] <harushimo> I've been doing that last couple times
[22:49] <sarnold> hey harushimo :) I thuoght of you when this got pasted around the other day: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/cloud/install-ubuntu-openstack
[22:50] <harushimo> I did
[22:50] <harushimo> I couldn't get passed step 3
[22:51] <harushimo> I needed to redo my VMs again
[22:51] <harushimo> hehe
[22:52] <harushimo> its an experiment
[22:52] <sarnold> d'oh :)
[22:52] <speedy> hi
[22:55] <harushimo> sarnold: any tips?
[22:56] <sarnold> harushimo: 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 to
[22:56] <sarnold> so it can't do NAT and that kind of stuff around the vm
[22:57] <harushimo> sarnold: I've  been following http://marcoceppi.com/2012/05/juju-maas-virtualbox/
[22:58] <marcoceppi> harushimo: that guide is pretty out of date now
[22:58] <harushimo> marcoceppi: any tips
[22:58] <marcoceppi> harushimo: it's much better to use libvirt and qemu since MAAS can actually use that as a power type
[22:58] <harushimo> marcoceppi: do you have some instructions on that
[22:59] <marcoceppi> harushimo: 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 it
[22:59] <harushimo> marcoceppi: that would be great
[22:59] <harushimo> marcoceppi: I can't get pass step 3 on that documentation
[23:00] <harushimo> marcoceppi: I've been trying to install openstack so I can install cloud foundry
[23:01] <marcoceppi> harushimo: well you're going to want something more than VMs
[23:01] <harushimo> marcoceppi: oh really?
[23:01] <marcoceppi> harushimo: yeah, I mean eventually
[23:02] <harushimo> marcoceppi: I agree..sorry this for my dev purposes
[23:02] <harushimo> marcoceppi: I would need more than VMs
[23:12] <marcoceppi> harushimo: how are you deploying cloud foundry?
[23:15] <harushimo> marcoceppi: It will be done through openstack
[23:16] <harushimo> marcoceppi: I need to install hypervisor which is openstack and I install over that
[23:17] <marcoceppi> Right right, no worries. Okay, I need to fix my MAAS machine but once that's sorted I'll start on the blog post/video
[23:18] <harushimo> marcoceppi: thank you so much
[23:19] <harushimo> marcoceppi: companies are going this route. I want to be learn the technology and sell myself too
[23:19] <harushimo> marcoceppi: I'll continue to experiment
