[00:34] Hey does anybody use ddclient? I have a simple question which I couldn't find the answer to on their website. [00:35] I want to update my IP address since I am running a home server and the IP from my ISP may change. My domain is with godaddy who apparently doesn't offer a straightfoward service to do this. [00:35] After reading on a website I simply changed the dns name servers to ones from freedns.afraid.org [00:36] Anyway, on my godaddy account I changed them to ns1.afraid.org, ns2, ns3, ns4, etc. My question is in the config file for ddclient under the "server" field will simply "freedns.afraid.org" suffice or do I need to explicitly list the dns name servers? [00:36] I had a free subdomain from freedns.afraid.org previously with ddclient running to update my IP and this is how it was configured before so I am assuming it will work. === markthomas is now known as markthomas|away [03:23] how to change the resolv.conf permanently i am change and when restart resolv.conf is empty [03:28] jak2000: do you use /etc/network/interfaces to manage your interfaces? If so, add these lines to the configuration stanzas for your interfaces: dns-nameservers 1.2.3.4 [03:58] teward ok testing [03:58] restarted the virtual server [06:55] Good morning. [08:35] hey guys whats the differnt between DNS server and a DNS proxy? [08:46] arcsky: A DNS server actually resolves urls where a proxy forwards requests to another server (usually caching the replies). [08:49] lordievader: thanks i undertand now [08:49] arcsky: :) === ochoroch1 is now known as ochoroch === denbeiren is now known as zz_denbeiren === Vargos is now known as Pest === zz_denbeiren is now known as denbeiren === denbeiren is now known as zz_denbeiren === JexSys is now known as Faylite [11:58] hmm... where can I report a problem with landscape-client that isn't isolated to one specific release [11:58] (12.04, and 14.04, both have the same problem) [11:59] (and i will do further tests today to confirm === zz_denbeiren is now known as denbeiren [12:05] the new bind9 vuln - USN-2693-1 only references ubuntu 12.04/14.04/15.04 - is 10.04 affected or just no updates available for it as EOL ? [12:06] 10.04 is EOL, so no updates. [12:07] thought so. === denbeiren is now known as zz_denbeiren [12:10] Nobody will have checked whether 10.04 is vulnerable or not. It may not be. But it's certainly vulnerable in a ton of other ways by now. [12:15] agreed. === zz_denbeiren is now known as denbeiren [12:52] hey guys, having some trouble mounting my nfs anyone got any ideas why it's denying me access? [13:03] Amillo: provide more info. configuration, command & output, logs, etc [13:15] Getting someone to take a look at it now, I'll come back if he's unsuccesful - thanks though === hxm is now known as Guest45385 === denbeiren is now known as zz_denbeiren === medz is now known as samsn === baggar11_ is now known as baggar11 === markthomas|away is now known as markthomas === athairus is now known as afkthairus === zz_denbeiren is now known as denbeiren [19:55] Daviey, jamespage, zul: python-neutronclient in UCA Kilo don't work [19:55] needs at least 2.4.0 [19:56] 2.3.11 is too old. [19:56] please look at bug #1479496 [19:56] bug 1479496 in python-neutronclient (Ubuntu) "python-neutronclient 1:2.3.11 doesn't work with Kilo" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1479496 [19:56] in a large network environment, it doesn't work. [19:57] (it worked fine in Juno with the same networks but doesn't in Kilo as something in neutron must be changing & reporting differently.) [19:57] it breaks things consequently as the python-neutronclient library is used by ... neutron, nova, etc. [19:59] med_: Based on what you have said, it must also be true that it is broken in Ubuntu Vivid and neutron upstream has a poor lower version of neutronclient in requirements.txt [20:03] wheeee, useful bug data is useful [20:03] although i typo'd my apport hooks. oops. [20:04] sarnold: rbasak: it's definitely GREAT to have usable debug data for nginx now isn't it xD (lot more 'invalid!' bugs :P) [20:05] Any idea where ast_dp501_fw.bin would be available from Ubuntu's repos? "W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/ast_dp501_fw.bin for module ast" [20:07] hi! I manually installed and succesfully started tomcat8 on ubuntu machine. But I can not see tomcat8 among services. What do I have to do to be able to start/stop/status tomcat8 from "sudo service tomcat8 start"? A manual for dummies would be much of help, thanks! [20:07] med_: If it is easy to reproduce, i'd be tempted to git bisect the client :) [20:07] it's already fixed in the upstream client [20:07] we just need it.... [20:07] https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/python-neutronclient/commit/?id=4b6ed760d4303744907feefd81e60f38ae3750ef [20:07] in UCA [20:08] thanks Daviey [20:09] which means an older client MIGHT work. [20:10] med_: The normal process for UCA updates is to get it fixed in the Ubuntu release that tracks the OpenStack release, in this instance it is Ubuntu Vivid. So a normal SRU then, then a copy to UCA. [20:11] gotcha [20:11] med_: but funnily enough, Ubuntu Cloud Archive isn't a Ubuntu deliverable :)... So you'll need to speak to someone at Canonical for that :) [20:11] (and yes, I'd forgotten that much) [20:11] truestory. [20:13] When locking down the grub2 prompt, I set the password_pbkdf2 line in /etc/grub.d/40_custom and update-grub yells at me. It complains that "password_pbkdf2 is not found" [20:13] I've set this up per the documentation here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Passwords#Password_Encryption [20:14] med_: But if you want to propose it to stable/kilo upstream openstack/python-neutronclient, i can +2 it there... and I can also help SRU it to vivid. :) [20:14] nod [20:14] working on that [20:14] realigning my ducks. [20:14] oh, already fixed in stable/kilo [20:15] which is using 2.4.0 [20:15] unfortunately, vivid didn't update the clients (enough) [20:15] med_: Sadly, *just* missed the neutronclient point release by a few hours... [20:15] (This is another reason point releases suck) [20:16] oh [20:17] med_: There is now stable/kilo branch of neutronclient, doesn't seem fixed there [20:19] Daviey, I see the "Reinstate MAX URI length checking" in a git clone of python-neutronclient in the stable/kilo branch. [20:19] a403265ea1483e53b93bdb2d60493a9a9e1eb0bc [20:19] merges [20:19] 4b6ed760d4303744907feefd81e60f38ae3750ef [20:20] so merged on Mar 11, 2015 [20:21] Wow, the Ubuntu community docs can be so so terribly unclear sometimes [20:22] med_: Ah! you are right [20:23] So.. the minimum versions needs to be 2.6.0 ? [20:24] no, even 2.4.0 works [20:25] * med_ double checks [20:25] yep, 2.4.0 has it [20:25] so I'm fine with a debina/patch that cherrypicks the change or a newer version Daviey [20:29] How do you boot 14.04 in to single user mode? [20:29] I've added "single" to the end of the "linux" line but it just goes to a black screen [20:32] K4k: black-screen probably means you need "nomodeset" as well - the video DRM is not properly supporting mode-setting === markthomas is now known as markthomas|away [21:38] Anyone have recommended specs for a mailserver with dovecot, postfix, squirrelmail and a user management UI? Ubuntu 14.04. [21:39] Was redirected here from #ubuntu, with an opinion 2core 2GB might be enough. [21:41] LewsTherin: for how many users? what kind of mail volume? [21:41] Couple emails a day, about 40-50 users. [21:41] Emails will be deleted once retrieved. [21:42] sounds about right then those specs [21:42] Ok, thanks. [21:42] What about HDD space? [21:42] maybe 5-10GB? [21:42] are the users mailboxes limited by quota? [21:42] you might want to do that with 40-50 users [21:43] Probably won't be. [21:43] Hm, ok. [21:43] It's part of an automation system, so emails probably won't be on there too long. [21:43] well yeah one imap fetch messup and itll be filled with emails :) [21:44] but just keep the mail data on a separate partition at least [21:44] We'll mainly being using POP, due to requirements of the services that will be connecting in. [21:45] Ok, so a 5GB partition for system, 20GB for mail? [21:45] Just guessing here. [21:49] how large can your user's inboxes be with just 20gigs? I've got ~1.5 gigs in my ~/.mail_cache/ at the moment, not sure how much actual storage on the server that requires [21:49] LewsTherin: I don't have as many users, but probably a higher volume per day per user, and I'm running it on a single core with 1GB RAM with no problems at all. [21:50] My particular users are up to about 9GB of disk space at the moment, but that number would vary wildly. [21:50] (Ours are IMAP, keeping stuff on the server permanently) [21:51] If you're POPing everything down within a month or less I'd think 20G should be plenty. [21:53] Ok [21:56] hi guys [21:57] I have to run node js server on a remote ubuntu server via SSH [21:57] I can run it, but once I close the ssh session - the server is down [21:57] screen [21:57] how can I create server daemon [21:58] HikaruBG: you could create an init script, or just run your node js thing in screen, or using nohup. [21:58] either run it with & at the end which sends it to the background, or use `screen` and run node.js from there, [21:58] or nohup which is also a slution [21:58] Using screen gives you somehow more control, in case it throws console messages. [21:58] screen means you'd have to deal with it again next reboot; I'd go to the trouble of making an initscript or upstart config file for it, that way you don't have to think of it the next reboot :) [21:58] ^ that [21:59] heheh [21:59] sarnold: unless it needs manual startup, say, because it needs credentials or a pw or something set up, which would be odd but still [21:59] :p [22:00] teward: eh, good point, ssl privkey or something.. [22:00] mhm [22:01] I never dealt with nodejs - what is this thing? [22:01] bekks: another webapp solution [22:01] What is it for? [22:01] web applications :p [22:01] https://nodejs.org/ [22:01] bekks: server-side javascript [22:01] bekks: for folks who just can't get enough callback hell :) [22:01] "Node.js is an open source, cross-platform runtime environment for server-side and networking applications. Node.js applications are written in JavaScript and can be run within the Node.js runtime on OS X, Microsoft Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, NonStop, IBM AIX, IBM System z and IBM i." [22:02] basically server-side javascript for people who want to intentionally torture themselves :P [22:02] Javascript - that crap used for dynamic menus and stuff? === markthomas|away is now known as markthomas [22:02] mhm [22:03] teward: :) [22:03] rbasak: hello! [22:03] long time no talk :P [22:04] for the record, Landscape makes managing 8 Ubuntu Server VMs real simple - one location to rule them all :P [22:04] (+1 for Landscape :P) [22:04] Nice! [22:05] oh that reminds me [22:05] where can i make a bugreport/complaint about it? [22:05] given i'm on LDS, not the cloud service, canonical has no obligation to listen :P [22:05] teward: that landscape thing - how much does it cost to manage my 5 Ubuntu instances at home? [22:06] bekks: zero if you set it up on a server yourself. 10 physical machines, 10 Virtual machines, with the 'free' license - http://askubuntu.com/questions/549809/how-do-i-install-landscape-for-personal-use [22:06] past that you have to pay per system [22:06] teward: Thanks a lot :) [22:06] and I forget how much it is per [22:06] that's a question for canonical sales [22:06] I'd not reach that limit at home :) [22:07] bekks: nor would I, even at work - 6 VMs all managed and accounted for, one central location, soon to be 7 [22:07] teward: And it isnt a big problem to retire an old VM and set another vm in place? [22:09] bekks: you can remove a computer, which opens up its license slot for use [22:09] bekks: http://i.imgur.com/GIhq3qV.png <-- remove computer button right there [22:09] teward: Ah ok - thats good to know. A few of my VMs wont live that long and are replaced by new ones quite regularly. [22:09] it asks if you want to confirm it, and says "Deleting this will remove it from the system, and will free up a license slot for another system." or something similar [22:10] i have two landscape instances i work with... one at work and one for my own systems [22:10] I guess thats a good way to go then. [22:10] bekks: configuration was a pain [22:10] teward: ouch [22:10] i had to use actual SSL certs [22:10] because even when the custom CA certs are validated by the world, landscape-client won't work with it [22:10] (and by 'the world' i mean the test lab I tested it on) [22:11] hence my wanting to bug-report on the client [22:11] Well, that sounds like I want to implement an ansible instance instead [22:11] bekks: probably is, but since my domain is wildcarded... :p [22:12] I'll take a look into both - ansible would be a good deal, since it supports more OS than landscape. [22:12] right [22:12] the enviros i'm in those're all Ubuntu boxes [22:12] VM or physical [22:12] won't help for other OSes [22:13] I have a few other here, like Solaris, Windows, etc. [22:16] mhm [22:22] sarnold: FWIW, I have actually run things in screen on startup using the magic @reboot cron time. An init script would be better for most things though. [22:22] (I've used that to launch my irssi session.) [22:22] tonyyarusso: hah, I've never thought to combine @reboot with screen :) [22:23] You just have to use the right flags for start detached. [22:23] Works well for things that should launch at startup, but that you will be manually interacting with later. [22:26] irssi is a good candidate for that [23:17] urgh i hate it when init scripts do bad pidfile parsing >.< === afkthairus is now known as athairus [23:24] urgh i hate pidfiles >.< there fixed it ;)
