lunaphytethe config for debconf is within the config mechanism debconf uses for everything, including itself00:00
tarpmanone eats one's own dogfood, etc ;)00:00
lunaphytelike slapd's db section for cn=config within cn=config :P00:00
lunaphyteyeah00:00
lunaphytewhat a great find, thanks00:00
tarpman:)00:00
lunaphytenow i want to know why i don't recall ubuntu asking me those two questions during install00:01
lunaphytei guess i'll have to od a new install to know for sure.  it's been too long to recall with confidence if that's actually what happened, or if i am just dumb00:01
tarpmanI don't think you'd be prompted for frontend or priority by default00:02
lunaphytei wish it would.00:02
lunaphytehow would anyone ever know?00:02
lunaphyteoutside of pure coincidence, like this00:03
tarpmanno idea00:03
tarpmanI learned about debconf when I needed preseeding00:03
tarpmanI think that's probably how most people get exposed00:04

fricklerjamespage: any chance to update ceph in xenial based on this: https://www.spinics.net/lists/ceph-devel/msg29225.html ? not completely official release, but IMHO much better than 10.0.2 and you won't want to release xenial with a development release of ceph anyway, or do you?09:38

coreycbddellav, re: barbican and use of python-ldap315:02
* ddellav nods15:03
coreycbIt seems like ldap3 is the way to go in the future for python ldap clinet use since it supports python 315:03
coreycbddellav, the problem is there's a mix of openstack packages (and non-openstack packages) using python-ldap which is already in main15:03
ddellavso we DO in fact need an MIR for ldap315:03
ddellav?15:03
coreycbddellav, well they'll want one ldap client in main so it'd be python-ldap or python-ldap315:04
coreycbddellav, I think at this late point in the cycle we should revert barbican to using python-ldap, and see about MIRing python-ldap3 earlier in the next cycle15:05
ddellavcoreycb ok15:07
coreycbddellav, the patch looks pretty trivial to revert it15:07

achianghi, using the ec2 ami locator service: https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/16:41
achiangafter reading docs, it's not clear to me if i can use an hvm:ebs-ssd on a t2.micro16:41
achiangdoes anyone know?16:41
achiangor am i forced to use the hvm:ebs instance type?16:42
achiangah, ok. re-reading this page http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/RootDeviceStorage.html16:43
achiangseems like ebs-ssd is fine; the only thing that is incompatible would be the instance-store type16:43
hallynstgraber: that sounds bogus:17:09
hallyn It appears that the pam_systemd plugin is not present due to pam_cgfs.so being in the pam session plugin configuration in /etc/pam.d/common-session.17:09
hallyn""17:10
stgraberhallyn: yeah, I wonder if libpam-systemd got removed from his system somehow17:13
hallyni'm d/ling new desktop image to try in any case17:18
hallyn(unity won't show up in lightdm as an option for me - desktop team blacklisted me)17:19
coreycbhallyn, for that qemu patch you backported yesterday, can that be considered fixed for qemu-kvm as well?17:24
hallyncoreycb: qemu-kvm is in precise only....  was thinking i'd leave that open until the precise sru is done17:32
hallynbut either way17:32
hallyni have it in my sru file so i won't forget it.  Really the "proper" but less helpful thing is to mark it invalid but confirmed for precise target17:32
coreycbhallyn, ok I saw it's been deprecated17:33
coreycbhallyn, thanks so n/a unless precise which it's currently not targeted to fix for as far as I can see17:34
hallynpretty sure i'll sru it to prcise, just haven't set the targets17:34
coreycbhallyn, ok, thanks17:34
hallynstgraber: just updated a unity vm, can't reproduce the inability to get admin rights17:44
hallynlemme try removing the pam-systemd line17:45
stgraberhallyn: I know we briefly had a bad cgroup-lite which was causing libpam-systemd to be removed if the user didn't look closely at upgrade time, that may be what caused this for him17:45
hallynoh wait, i was testing xenial, not trusty with ppas. sigh17:46
hallyn(trusty wouldn't have pam_systemdi guess)17:46
stgraberI thought it did17:50
randymarsh9hello18:27
randymarsh9what is the simplest way to transfer files to clean ubuntu installation18:27
randymarsh9install FTP?18:27
Deepsscp/sftp18:28
randymarsh9does scp come with ubuntu?18:28
Deepshttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/TransferFiles18:29
sarnoldyes, though you may need to install openssh-server on one of the machines18:29
randymarsh9ssh is already enabled18:32
randymarsh9i'll do the scp18:32
randymarsh9thank you both18:32
randymarsh9does ./tmp/ get cleared out every reboot?18:41
sarnoldit depends on what your current working directory is :) /tmp gets cleared, yes, but others may not18:42
randymarsh9hm lets see18:44

max3how can i get an install of ubuntu-server that has nothing except what i need to run postgres?19:33
max3i tried the minimal install but it's still about a gig. how does ubuntu-mini-remix get it down to 200mb?19:33
sarnoldmax3: maybe start with the cloud images?19:33
tewardalso consider: the mini remix isn't an officially supported project ;)19:34
tewardso it's not an Ubuntu official project19:34
max3sarnold, teward i understand that but i'm just wondering if anyone knew how it's accomplished19:34
max3sarnold, sorry these cloud images are what? already virtual appliances? ova is some sort of standardized vm right?19:35
sarnoldmax3: deborphan/orphaner scripts can help remove uneeded 'leaf' packages..19:35
max3sarnold, which of the cloud images should i download?19:37
sdezielmax3: when I need something minimal, I start with a debootstrap then add a kernel+grub. This takes around ~500MB19:37
sarnoldmax3: I think I'd start with disk1.img version19:37
max3sarnold, i'm planning on running this in virtualbox so it should be the ova file right?19:38
sarnoldmax3: ah, if vbox can do ova, yeah19:39
max3i wish i could get tiny core linux to work19:42
max3it even has a postgres package but i can't the database cluster up because of missing libraries19:42
max3sarnold, i don't think these cloud images can just run on virtualbox?19:58
sarnoldmax3: oh :(20:00
Deepsmax3: an alternative approach might be to create a postgres docker container from the ubuntu package, which you can then run on a number of different minimal platforms20:00
max3Deeps, when you say minimal platforms you mean systems that have docker installed?20:03
Deepsmax3: yes, e.g. photon by vmware20:05
max3lol so many different layers of abstraction20:05

camjac251Hello21:45
mybalzitchhi21:45
RawPeacocksup camjac25121:45
camjac251Would anyone be able to help assist me with X11? I'm running 14.04 with an X11 server to xshell and xmanager. I ran mythtv-setup over ssh and opened up the x11 window. but the problem is the keys are messed up and mouse clicks dont register. the 1 key would show something like w when pressed, F1 would show as 1. So it would be off by 1 above to the right on the keyboard.21:46
camjac251I'm using a full qwerty keyboard, US, Installed Ubuntu 14.04.4 Server today with that chosen as my locale21:47
camjac251I tried looking up like wrong keybinds, wrong keys for x11, on google hoping to find some thread with a similar issue and a guide on how to change the x11 keyboard locale, but wasnt able to find anything helpful, the guides there were how to add custom layouts :/21:48
camjac251meaning I'd map every key by hand myself21:48

LuisMhi folks22:01
LuisMlook that flaw in Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS x64 right now: i've just hit "shutdown now" over ssh with root account "sudo su", and in the first tty screen the root account is exposed with shell, then the machine isn't going to shutdown..22:01
LuisMwtf?22:02
tarpmanLuisM: it switched to single-user mode, exactly as you told it to. what were you expecting?22:03
tarpmanLuisM: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/en/man8/shutdown.8.html -> If no option is specified, the default action is to  bring  the  system down into single-user mode.22:03
LuisMok, with logged with root account?22:03
LuisMlooged with root account*22:04
tarpmanLuisM: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man8/sulogin.8.html -> If the root account is locked, as is the default on Ubuntu, no password prompt is displayed and sulogin behaves as if the correct password were entered.22:05
LuisMhmm, now i see22:06
LuisM;)22:06
LuisMthat behavior is controlled22:06
tarpmanLuisM: even if you lock the root account... unless your disks are encrypted, someone with physical access to your server can just reboot it and boot with "init=/bin/sh"22:06
tarpmanLuisM: so protecting the server itself is still crucial.22:07
LuisMyeah, absolutely22:07
Gaming4JCI have 4 drives, what is the best method for backing up stuff? RAID6, RAID0 (two drives for CORE os, the other two rsynced user files separately), or a Union FS such as Gluster, MergerFS, etc.23:06
Gaming4JCresearching this has left me more confused than before I started23:06
Gaming4JCxD23:06
RawPeacockalright so I'm trying to follow this guide http://www.kiloroot.com/add-ubuntu-14-04-lts-server-to-a-windows-active-directory-domain-fullest-integration/ and I'm unable to verify on the last step23:10
sarnoldGaming4JC: have you considered zfs yet? :)23:10
Gaming4JCsarnold, I did, but the licensing issue bothers me. I like GPL :P23:11
RawPeacock14.04 successfully joined the domain using my domain admin credentials, but when I look at other posts using similar methods (ie: https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/80336-join-ubuntu-14-04lts-to-a-windows-domain-using-pbis-open) I notice a few incongruencies23:12
tewardhate to be the obvious harbinger of IT doom, but relying on RAID or a filesystem to do a backup on its own, without taking a full backup as a separate copy of data, sounds iffy23:13
tewardjust sayin ;)23:13
RawPeacock#1 being that I have no lightdm configuration file /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf , but reading has indicated that that's only necessary on desktop environments not serverside23:13
RawPeacock#2 being that my server never had the session sufficient pam_lsass.so line in  /etc/pam.d/common-session , so I added it at the bottom of the file with the recommended parameter of session [success=ok default=ignore] pam_lsass.so23:15
RawPeacockI've attempted to verify just *how* connected I am to my AD by going into my phpIPAM page and seeing if I could add a domain user, which it does successfully, but I'm unable to search on the utility using my domain admin account, and still unable to login using a domain account via ssh23:18
sarnoldRawPeacock: do you have any error messages in /var/log/auth* that might indicate why the sshd logins didn't work?23:19
RawPeacocksarnold, I'm trying to connect on port 22 on my PuTTY utility but according to this log it's indicating that ssh2 port 61576; unable to authenticate [preauth]23:28
RawPeacocklet me try a different account that's specifically added to the linuxadmins group23:29

RawPeacockhere's my slightly edited log http://paste.ubuntu.com/15411484/23:37
sarnoldRawPeacock: does the /etc/pam.d/sshd file either include the proper account and session lines for the new pam module, or include files that do?23:44
RawPeacocksarnold, I don't believe so no, going over my notes on the installation of the phpIPAM component  http://paste.ubuntu.com/15411556/23:54
sarnoldRawPeacock: and how about the common-account, common-auth, common-session files?23:56
