davmor2Morning all08:17
davmor2I miss JamesTait's morning greetings he so has to have a bot in place for next year08:18
brobostigonmorning boys and girls.08:18
knightworkehlo brobostigon , czajkowski08:18
brobostigonhello knightwork08:18
knightworkWatching a youtube video on how to get my simcard out of my Oneplus one.08:20
knightworkit slid off the simcard cassette and is now stuck inside the device08:20
brobostigoneeeek,08:21
knightworkyep , the thing needs surgery now.08:22
brobostigonoh dear, good luck.08:22
knightworkbrobostigon: should work if I slide a plastic card into it to "guide it out".08:23
knightworkafter that i'm kinda done with the oneplus i think.08:23
knightworknext phone will probaly be a huawei or something.08:24
nucc1when i see stories like this, i kinda feel glad i stick to the well-known brands :p08:37
nucc1although my sony xperia z3 was a crappy build too — screen fell right off after about 3 months — poor glue job08:37
nucc1and sony support is practically non-existent.08:40
diploMorning all08:50
diploAnyone fancy helping with a mail issue I'm having, "timed out while send Mail From" 442 error, it was just just one domian recieinb email from08:51
diplonow 2-308:51
diploAnything to look out for ?08:51
nucc1port 25 working?08:59
nucc1or is the mail client configured with the correct port?08:59
nucc1and TLS or Starttls ?08:59
diploFrom what I can see it can be related to the sending server thinking you're spam but we're not in any blacklists09:05
nucc1timed out suggests a network issue09:07
diploYeah I thought the same ( Sorry issues with line herre, keep getting disconnected )09:08
diploYeah receive 100's of other mails, just ttwo domains so far that are an issue09:08
diploAnother thing I've just read is about MTU's being different on router / mail server09:09
nucc1that shouldn't matter09:09
nucc1TCP has a way of dealing with that.09:09
nucc1if your internet is ADSL, you almost always have a lower MTU than the typical09:09
nucc1there's only a problem with MTU if your MTU is bigger and there is a misconfigured router in the way that is not sending ICMP messages informing your router09:10
nucc1diplo: try sending a small test email with no attachments. see if that goes through.09:11
diployeah it's from remote mail to my clients, my emails go to them fine, it's just from two domains09:11
diploBut those 2 customers are huge and want top make sure I've checked everything my end first before approaching them09:13
nucc1you can't receive emails from 2 domains, or you can't send emails to those two domains?09:15
diploReceive09:15
nucc1if the problem is receive, then the problem is at your end.09:15
diploAnd I can receive, it's sporadic 4.4.2 messages they get, some emails come through others don't09:16
nucc1take some network captures on your mail server and see what's happening09:16
diplo100's of other emails come through fine each day09:16
diplohehe, just reading a post about that right now09:16
diploRebooting my router brb can't deal with this lag09:16
nucc1tcpdump -i any -s0 -w /var/tmp/smtp.cap host <mail-server-ip> and port <mail-port>09:16
diplok thanks09:18
nucc1that will generate a file in /var/tmp/smtp.cap which you can view in wireshark09:18
nucc1you run that capture, and send a test email (it's easier to see what's happening if there's no tls)09:19
* bashrc_ also has a mesh icmp issue, which is probably firewall related09:19
nucc1if you know the source IP of the smtp client from which the email will arrive, it's also easier to follow the relevant tcp stream09:19
nucc1bashrc_: what issue?09:19
bashrc_at the weekend I was trying to set up batman adv. I could see the test peer via avahi, but couldn't ping it09:20
nucc1likely firewall doesn't allow icmp yes — which is a bit of a silly thing to do anyway09:21
bashrc_indeed the default firewall is pretty strict. Is there a port for icmp?09:22
diplok thanks09:24
nucc1bashrc_: icmp is a layer 3 protocol. no ports.09:25
bashrc_ah. So can it be blocked via firewall?09:26
nucc1yes, a sensible firewall should have a checkmark that says "allow icmp"09:26
nucc1Windows Firwall blocks icmp by default too09:26
bashrc_almost certainly I don't have that, so will need to check09:26
* bashrc_ is using iptables09:26
nucc1i never figured out how to allow icmp except by disabling the damn thing09:26
bashrc_I have an ultra strict firewall which blocks all the things, and then I selectively open only the needed ports09:27
nucc1ping is icmp-type echo-request and echo-reply09:28
nucc1probably wiser to allow all icmp09:28
bashrc_yes09:28
nucc1some people think that disabling icmp improves security, but it doesnt.09:28
nucc1disabling icmp is like shooting the internet in the foot09:28
nucc1people can still detect that your server is live by opening a connection to port 80, 443, 25, etc09:29
bashrc_for the regular internet server I do disable icmp (I don't need it), but for mesh being able to ping is useful09:29
nucc1especially for the internet server, you shoudl enable icmp09:29
nucc1icmp is the mechanism via which clients detect mismatch on MTU and workaround it09:29
nucc1when a client sends a packet that is too big, the router is supposed to send an ICMP Fragmentation-Needed packet09:30
nucc1the receiving client then knows to use smaller packets.09:30
nucc1If firewalls drop this icmp, the connection will eventually fail, because the packets aren't making it through, and the client is not being told09:30
nucc1and like i said, disabling icmp does not make you "invisible" on the internet.09:31
bashrc_in my case disabling icmp on the internet server doesn't have any deleterious effects. It's been running for years that way09:32
nucc1you might not realise it09:33
nucc1if your server is not critical, people would just ignore any issues they have with it09:34
nucc1you're not less safe if you enable it09:34
nucc1personally, i use 2-Fa auth, and fail2ban09:35
bashrc_http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-iptables-9-allow-icmp-ping.html09:35
nucc1i only use iptables to block outright abusers.09:35
nucc1bashrc_: ping is not important. it's the other icmp types that are important.09:36
bashrc_in my case I'd just like to test mesh peers with ping09:37
bashrc_I can use batctl ping, but I also want to test layer 309:37

bigcalmGood morning peeps :)10:22
davmor2Morning bigcalm10:23
popeyafternoon10:23
bigcalmSo, back to trying to upgrade these client servers10:25
bigcalmBeing ill last week got in the way a little10:25
popeyclients or servers?10:25
bigcalmServers owned by a client10:25
davmor2popey: their clients, servers10:25
bigcalmClient's servers10:26
bigcalm<jpds> bigcalm: It's more likely that they block port 1137110:26
bigcalm<jpds> bigcalm: Try: hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:8010:26
bigcalmSo I tried this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12106844/ & http://paste.ubuntu.com/12106850/10:26
davmor2popey: keep up it's only been a fortnight since he spoke about it last what's wrong with you ;)10:26
bigcalmIt was last Tuesday10:27
bigcalmapt-get update still fails: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12106878/10:28
davmor2bigcalm: that's like a month in canonical time ;)10:28
bigcalmHeh10:28
davmor2bigcalm: sounds like the system they use is using a bastardised version of ubuntu possibly10:29
popeywell, again, you need the key :)10:29
bigcalm5 weeks to beer train :)10:29
bigcalmpopey: but the import with apt-key didn't work I take it10:30
popeyi just tested that command and it worked perfectly from my machine here10:30
popey(the sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5 )10:30
bigcalmOkay, so I did get the correct format10:31
popeyyes10:31
bigcalmThe client's hosting company is getting in the way with their firewall I guess10:31
popeyhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/12106897/10:31
popeyyou can test that with telnet surely?10:31
popeytelnet keyserver.ubuntu.com 8010:32
awilkinsAt the worst you could get the key manually and paste it into the terminal?10:32
popeythen "GET /" and see what happens10:32
popeyyou should get a bunch of html from cassava.canonical.com10:32
popeyif you don't then probably a firewall or some other nonsense in the way10:32
bigcalmhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/12106909/10:33
bigcalmIt returned HTML, but with a status 40010:34
popeyok, good, so not a firewall issue10:34
bigcalmI get the same response from my machine here10:35
awilkinsResponse is from a squid proxy10:35
popeythere are lots of results on google for "gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=2d)"10:36
popeylike you're receiving a corrupt key10:36
jpdsbigcalm: Can't you just put the key into a text file and copy and paste it into the server?10:36
popeybigcalm: what happens if you just "gpg --recv-key 1054b7a24bd6ec30" ?10:37
bigcalmjpds: it may come to that10:37
popeyyeah, you could just get it from http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x1054B7A24BD6EC3010:37
jpdsbigcalm: Seems like it'll make your life easier10:37
popeydoesn't explain why it fails to get it though10:37
bigcalmguruuser@GRU01DBS01TEST:~$ gpg --recv-key 1054b7a24bd6ec3010:38
bigcalmgpg: requesting key 4BD6EC30 from hkp server keys.gnupg.net10:38
bigcalmIt's sitting there, doing nothing10:38
bigcalmI guess it'll timeout10:38
jpdsbigcalm: Nice hostname10:38
bigcalm:D10:38
nucc1usually those hostnames are derived from a pattern10:39
nucc1sometimes, organisation, department, location, and a serial10:39
bigcalmWhich would make sense for a hosting company10:39
nucc1yea10:39
awilkinsUgh, I hate those hostnames10:42
awilkinsAnd I know they have a purpose10:42
nucc1they are easy to work with once you know the pattern10:42
nucc1it's better than "fancy" names which you have to remember10:43
nucc1somebody tells you we have a problem with the accounting server 03, and you can workout the hostname10:43
nucc1if they all have star names or movie character names etc, then you need a lookup to determine which accounting server is being referred to10:43
awilkinsI say have both... a scheme of boring names for that reason, and memorable names for other reasons10:43
awilkinsI tend to select names that have *some* correlation with the server purpose10:44
awilkinsGods from old pantheons are good :-)10:44
awilkinsLike haephestus for a build server10:44
nucc1memorable names tend not to work10:45
* bashrc_ named one server "Zardos"10:45
* jpds always names his stuff after a theme10:49
jpdsPlenty of "List of" wikipedia pages10:49
popeywe used to use themes10:50
popeywe don't seem to anymore10:50
popeyi blame jpds10:50
jpdspopey: I blame cloud10:50
awilkinsI started using Wikipedia lists of things to name releases in the Ubuntu manner ( Apple, Banana, Clementine )10:51
awilkinsThemed, where possible (for software designed to do things for a surgical classification, particular operations)10:52
awilkins(the one for diseases was great fun)10:52
awilkinsopening with your "Anthrax" release :-)10:52

bigcalmI've gone with the installing keys from files, but apt-get update is still unhappy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12107046/11:04
bigcalmI then wondered what sudo apt-key list would give: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12107047/11:05
bigcalmNot sure where to go from here11:07
popeyfile a support ticket with provider?11:07
