[04:02] <mariano> I got a machine (thinkcenter server) and I would like to use it to learn how to work with various databases. From what I understand, and correct me if I'm wrong, I can install ubuntu server on this machine and then install virtualbox. I can then install various virtual machines (i.e. mysql server, windows server, ect) and run them via a web browser (PHPvirtualbox)? Is this correct?
[04:03] <sarnold> mariano: that sounds like a lot of work compared to just using libvirt and qemu/kvm
[04:04] <mariano> Ok, let me read what libvirt and qemu/kvm are. I'm new to all of this.
[04:15] <mariano> libvirt  qemu/kvm sounds a bit over my head. I'm a noob in all of this.
[04:17] <sarnold> mariano: apt-get install virt-manager, and run it with "virt-manager", it'll provide a much friendlier gui
[04:18] <mariano> So the main OS on the machine should be ubuntu server and dthen run apt-get on there yes?
[04:18] <sarnold> yes
[04:19] <mariano> Ok, perfect. I'll start messing with that stuff. And this will still be a headless option as far as running my guest machines correct?
[04:22] <sarnold> mariano: yeah; to use virt-manager, you'll use ssh -X when connecting to it..
[04:22] <mariano> Thank you so much for the info sarnold
[07:33] <lordievader> Good morning.
[08:10] <fishcooker1> if other user running apt-get dist-upgrade .. how to show progress log of the apting action?
[08:37] <fishcooker> sorry for being disconnected.. how to show log progress of apt-distupgrade action .. in case there are other user doing that action?
[09:10] <jamespage_> zul, hey - can you look at unblocking all of our openstack in wily - I'll have a bit of time tomorrow, but it would be nice to get the current log jam through before we have to work on l2
[11:51] <zul> jamespage: ack
[13:13] <momomo> Whenever I send a file with scp, the maximum speed seems to be around 1.2 MB/s ... why? Is there a way to increase this speed?
[13:33] <JanC> momomo: how fast is the (upstream) internet connection that you use for the system where you send that file from?
[13:58] <momomo> it should be about 10 mps
[13:58] <momomo> maybe I am wrong thoguh
[13:59] <momomo> speed testing
[13:59] <momomo> yes, it's about 9-10
[14:00] <teward> MB per second, or Mb per second?  (One's megabytes one's megabits)
[14:01] <teward> if it's the second one, 1.2 MB/s is about what you'd expect from a 10 megabit upload connection.
[14:01] <momomo> mbps
[14:02] <teward> momomo: speedtest.net?
[14:02] <momomo> yes
[14:02] <teward> they use Megabit not MegaByte
[14:02] <momomo> hmm .. ook so times 8 ?
[14:02] <teward> momomo: 10Mbps (Megabits per second) is about 1.25 MBps (Megabytes per second)
[14:02] <momomo> ook
[14:02] <teward> (Megabits per second) / 8 = MegaBytes per second
[14:02] <momomo> thanks for clarifying :)
[14:03] <teward> momomo: so, 1.2MB/s is as expected for that type of an upload connection speed
[14:03] <teward> now, 10000 Mbit / second... that's fun :P
[14:03]  * teward had access to such a speed for all of 10 seconds xD
[14:04] <teward> momomo: but to answer your initial question about the max speed being about 1.2 megabytes per second.
[14:04] <teward> it's becuase you only have 10Mbit upload speed - that's 1.25MB/s
[14:08] <jamespage> zul, ta
[14:08] <jrwren> i wonder when 10Gbit hardware will be priced for home.
[14:13] <Sling> infiniband is already pretty cheap
[14:16] <jrwren> it is?
[14:49] <funkenstrahlen> Anyone here running btsync 2.0 on an ubuntu server? I need some help setting it up: https://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/40008-sync20-headless-server-instanceconf-how-to-set-the-secret/
[16:56] <hallyn> smoser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11967817/  proposed seabios for wily, any objections/comments?  qa-regression-testing test-qemu.sh passes...
[16:57] <smoser> nothing screams at me.
[16:57] <smoser> i was just a cuople minutes ago reminising about
[16:57] <smoser>  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipxe/+bug/921230
[16:58] <smoser> how was that fixed ?
[16:58] <smoser> oh. you set the timeout to zero.
[17:01] <hallyn> smoser: ok, will pushonce test-libvirt.py completes
[17:01] <hallyn> thanks
[17:19] <smoser> hallyn, since i like to complain about essoterric features not wroking correctly...
[17:19] <smoser> booting qemu with the ovmf bios (for uefi) renders -curses useless.
[17:20] <smoser> that bios goes itno 800x600 mode right away.
[17:22] <fellayaboy> is an ldap server basically a domain controller with active directory in a sense?  is it so you can create and store new users and computers that join a domain and you could administer those users and ocmputers from there?
[17:22] <fellayaboy> is ldap server basically linux
[17:23] <tarpman> fellayaboy: an ldap server is just a database and a protocol for talking to it
[17:23] <fellayaboy> version of domain controller and active directory
[17:23] <hallyn> smoser: uh.  what.  why can't i find edk2 for wily?
[17:23] <fellayaboy> oh okay
[17:24] <pmatulis> fellayaboy: AD is strictly a microsoft product that, among other things, embeds an LDAP-like service
[17:24] <smoser> hallyn, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/edk2 ?
[17:24] <fellayaboy> ok so im familiar with active directory and creating a domain controller in windows server... whats linux equivalent
[17:24] <fellayaboy> pmatulis, oh i see i see
[17:24] <pmatulis> fellayaboy: investigate samba4
[17:25] <fellayaboy> isnt samba just a file sharing protocol?
[17:25] <pmatulis> fellayaboy: about a decade ago, yes
[17:25] <fellayaboy> creates a networe share
[17:25] <teward> it's far more than that now
[17:25] <tarpman> fellayaboy: in addition to samba4, check out freeipa
[17:25] <fellayaboy> could you provide a link of all the other stuff it does..i would google it but i know ill just get lost in the ocean of information
[17:26] <fellayaboy> freeipa thanks tarpman
[17:26] <fellayaboy> ive setup a samba share in ubuntu server 15.04 here at our enterprise...its quite fast and very reliable
[17:26] <pmatulis> fellayaboy: https://www.samba.org/
[17:26] <fellayaboy> works very well with our windows clients
[17:27] <fellayaboy> guys thanks for that information
[17:27] <pmatulis> fellayaboy: note samba4 and samba3 are not the same. the former is a complete rewrite and enables a standalone AD-like thing, replete with its own embedded LDAP service
[17:27] <fellayaboy> very helpful thank you
[17:28] <fellayaboy> i see pmatulis
[17:28] <fellayaboy> so samba 4 and create domain users
[17:29] <fellayaboy> apply some sort of policies to linux machines similiar to gpo?
[17:29] <pmatulis> fellayaboy: normally i would point you to the ubuntu server guide but it has not been updated to samba4 yet
[17:30] <pmatulis> fellayaboy: you really need to take some time, prolly a lot of time, and read the docs
[17:30] <fellayaboy> i meant to say "can samba 4 create domian users?" and can it apply policies to machine objects
[17:30] <fellayaboy> ill go over to samba too..since these are samba related questions  thanks pmatulis
[17:30] <pmatulis> welcome
[17:34] <hallyn> smoser: yeah, but aptitude doesn't find it
[17:34] <hallyn> (or its binary packages)
[18:26] <server-help> Can anyone explain this:  I have a server that hangs on boot and repeats the message 1fUbuntu12.041f.... several times
