[00:00] <lunaphyte> the config for debconf is within the config mechanism debconf uses for everything, including itself
[00:00] <tarpman> one eats one's own dogfood, etc ;)
[00:00] <lunaphyte> like slapd's db section for cn=config within cn=config :P
[00:00] <lunaphyte> yeah
[00:00] <lunaphyte> what a great find, thanks
[00:00] <tarpman> :)
[00:01] <lunaphyte> now i want to know why i don't recall ubuntu asking me those two questions during install
[00:01] <lunaphyte> i 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 dumb
[00:02] <tarpman> I don't think you'd be prompted for frontend or priority by default
[00:02] <lunaphyte> i wish it would.
[00:02] <lunaphyte> how would anyone ever know?
[00:03] <lunaphyte> outside of pure coincidence, like this
[00:03] <tarpman> no idea
[00:03] <tarpman> I learned about debconf when I needed preseeding
[00:04] <tarpman> I think that's probably how most people get exposed
[09:38] <frickler> jamespage: 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?

[13:17] <sekapiet> hello
[13:17] <sekapiet> i'm looking for help with openstack autopilot
[13:28] <coreycb> beisner, when you get a moment can you promote the following packages to trusty-mitaka-proposed? http://paste.ubuntu.com/15407540/
[13:35] <Hanumaan> how to format multipath iSCSI drive? getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15407534/  if I try to format it and lsof shows this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15407542/ .. how to format the drive .. ?
[13:36] <patdk-wk> you said you are getting an error
[13:36] <patdk-wk> there is no error
[13:38] <sekapiet> is there a channel for ubuntu openstack autopilot ?
[13:38] <Hanumaan> patdk-wk,  sorry did not give the error .. this is the error  "/dev/sdb1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!"
[13:39] <patdk-wk> why are you using sdb?
[13:40] <patdk-wk> you said it was multipathed
[13:40] <patdk-wk> if you want to use sdb, kill the multipath
[13:46] <Hanumaan> patdk-wk, you were spot on .. now is used multipath drive .. which is /dev/mapper/mpath0-part1 ..
[13:46] <patdk-wk> :)
[13:47] <Hanumaan> and it worked.. can you also let me know how to get my own alias working for multipath drive? it usually generates some random names .. and says alias already exists ..
[14:47] <devster31> hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help me with something, I can access a windows 10 share from osx using smb://ip-of-pc/name-of-folder, and the email-password as accounts, but smbclient refuses to let me access the same share on ubuntu
[14:47] <devster31> what could I be doing wrong?
[14:51] <kgirthofer> hey guys I installed ubuntu with lvm for the first time and I don't understand how to resize
[14:51] <kgirthofer> any help?
[14:52] <kgirthofer> vgdisplay lists the drive, it's sda2 and 5 respectively
[15:02] <coreycb> ddellav, re: barbican and use of python-ldap3
[15:03]  * ddellav nods
[15:03] <coreycb> It seems like ldap3 is the way to go in the future for python ldap clinet use since it supports python 3
[15:03] <coreycb> ddellav, the problem is there's a mix of openstack packages (and non-openstack packages) using python-ldap which is already in main
[15:03] <ddellav> so we DO in fact need an MIR for ldap3
[15:03] <ddellav> ?
[15:04] <coreycb> ddellav, well they'll want one ldap client in main so it'd be python-ldap or python-ldap3
[15:05] <coreycb> ddellav, 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 cycle
[15:07] <ddellav> coreycb ok
[15:07] <coreycb> ddellav, the patch looks pretty trivial to revert it
[16:21] <stgraber> hallyn: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2016-March/016329.html
[16:41] <achiang> hi, using the ec2 ami locator service: https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/
[16:41] <achiang> after reading docs, it's not clear to me if i can use an hvm:ebs-ssd on a t2.micro
[16:41] <achiang> does anyone know?
[16:42] <achiang> or am i forced to use the hvm:ebs instance type?
[16:43] <achiang> ah, ok. re-reading this page http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/RootDeviceStorage.html
[16:43] <achiang> seems like ebs-ssd is fine; the only thing that is incompatible would be the instance-store type
[17:09] <hallyn> stgraber: 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.
[17:10] <hallyn> ""
[17:13] <stgraber> hallyn: yeah, I wonder if libpam-systemd got removed from his system somehow
[17:18] <hallyn> i'm d/ling new desktop image to try in any case
[17:19] <hallyn> (unity won't show up in lightdm as an option for me - desktop team blacklisted me)
[17:24] <coreycb> hallyn, for that qemu patch you backported yesterday, can that be considered fixed for qemu-kvm as well?
[17:32] <hallyn> coreycb: qemu-kvm is in precise only....  was thinking i'd leave that open until the precise sru is done
[17:32] <hallyn> but either way
[17:32] <hallyn> i 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 target
[17:33] <coreycb> hallyn, ok I saw it's been deprecated
[17:34] <coreycb> hallyn, thanks so n/a unless precise which it's currently not targeted to fix for as far as I can see
[17:34] <hallyn> pretty sure i'll sru it to prcise, just haven't set the targets
[17:34] <coreycb> hallyn, ok, thanks
[17:44] <hallyn> stgraber: just updated a unity vm, can't reproduce the inability to get admin rights
[17:45] <hallyn> lemme try removing the pam-systemd line
[17:45] <stgraber> hallyn: 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 him
[17:46] <hallyn> oh wait, i was testing xenial, not trusty with ppas. sigh
[17:46] <hallyn> (trusty wouldn't have pam_systemdi guess)
[17:50] <stgraber> I thought it did
[18:27] <randymarsh9> hello
[18:27] <randymarsh9> what is the simplest way to transfer files to clean ubuntu installation
[18:27] <randymarsh9> install FTP?
[18:28] <Deeps> scp/sftp
[18:28] <randymarsh9> does scp come with ubuntu?
[18:29] <Deeps> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/TransferFiles
[18:29] <sarnold> yes, though you may need to install openssh-server on one of the machines
[18:32] <randymarsh9> ssh is already enabled
[18:32] <randymarsh9> i'll do the scp
[18:32] <randymarsh9> thank you both
[18:41] <randymarsh9> does ./tmp/ get cleared out every reboot?
[18:42] <sarnold> it depends on what your current working directory is :) /tmp gets cleared, yes, but others may not
[18:44] <randymarsh9> hm lets see
[19:33] <max3> how can i get an install of ubuntu-server that has nothing except what i need to run postgres?
[19:33] <max3> i tried the minimal install but it's still about a gig. how does ubuntu-mini-remix get it down to 200mb?
[19:33] <sarnold> max3: maybe start with the cloud images?
[19:34] <teward> also consider: the mini remix isn't an officially supported project ;)
[19:34] <teward> so it's not an Ubuntu official project
[19:34] <max3> sarnold, teward i understand that but i'm just wondering if anyone knew how it's accomplished
[19:35] <max3> sarnold, sorry these cloud images are what? already virtual appliances? ova is some sort of standardized vm right?
[19:35] <sarnold> max3: deborphan/orphaner scripts can help remove uneeded 'leaf' packages..
[19:37] <max3> sarnold, which of the cloud images should i download?
[19:37] <sdeziel> max3: when I need something minimal, I start with a debootstrap then add a kernel+grub. This takes around ~500MB
[19:37] <sarnold> max3: I think I'd start with disk1.img version
[19:38] <max3> sarnold, i'm planning on running this in virtualbox so it should be the ova file right?
[19:39] <sarnold> max3: ah, if vbox can do ova, yeah
[19:42] <max3> i wish i could get tiny core linux to work
[19:42] <max3> it even has a postgres package but i can't the database cluster up because of missing libraries
[19:58] <max3> sarnold, i don't think these cloud images can just run on virtualbox?
[20:00] <sarnold> max3: oh :(
[20:00] <Deeps> max3: 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 platforms
[20:03] <max3> Deeps, when you say minimal platforms you mean systems that have docker installed?
[20:05] <Deeps> max3: yes, e.g. photon by vmware
[20:05] <max3> lol so many different layers of abstraction
[20:43] <beisner> coreycb, ok, proposed voluptuous @ mitaka uca  ... and the rest of http://paste.ubuntu.com/15407540/ too.
[20:43] <coreycb> beisner, thanks :)
[20:51] <coreycb> EmilienM, that will include the new sahara version ^
[20:51] <EmilienM> coreycb: cool
[21:11] <devster31> any idea why rsync isn't working between a local hdd mounted on /mnt/usbhdd and an autofs mounted smb share?
[21:45] <camjac251> Hello
[21:45] <mybalzitch> hi
[21:45] <RawPeacock> sup camjac251
[21:46] <camjac251> Would 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.
[21:47] <camjac251> I'm using a full qwerty keyboard, US, Installed Ubuntu 14.04.4 Server today with that chosen as my locale
[21:48] <camjac251> I 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] <camjac251> meaning I'd map every key by hand myself
[22:01] <LuisM> hi folks
[22:01] <LuisM> look 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..
[22:02] <LuisM> wtf?
[22:03] <tarpman> LuisM: it switched to single-user mode, exactly as you told it to. what were you expecting?
[22:03] <tarpman> LuisM: 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] <LuisM> ok, with logged with root account?
[22:04] <LuisM> looged with root account*
[22:05] <tarpman> LuisM: 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.
[22:06] <LuisM> hmm, now i see
[22:06] <LuisM> ;)
[22:06] <LuisM> that behavior is controlled
[22:06] <tarpman> LuisM: 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"
[22:07] <tarpman> LuisM: so protecting the server itself is still crucial.
[22:07] <LuisM> yeah, absolutely
[23:06] <Gaming4JC> I 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] <Gaming4JC> researching this has left me more confused than before I started
[23:06] <Gaming4JC> xD
[23:10] <RawPeacock> alright 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 step
[23:10] <sarnold> Gaming4JC: have you considered zfs yet? :)
[23:11] <Gaming4JC> sarnold, I did, but the licensing issue bothers me. I like GPL :P
[23:12] <RawPeacock> 14.04 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 incongruencies
[23:13] <teward> hate 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 iffy
[23:13] <teward> just 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 serverside
[23:15] <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.so
[23:18] <RawPeacock> I'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 ssh
[23:19] <sarnold> RawPeacock: do you have any error messages in /var/log/auth* that might indicate why the sshd logins didn't work?
[23:28] <RawPeacock> sarnold, 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]
[23:29] <RawPeacock> let me try a different account that's specifically added to the linuxadmins group
[23:37] <RawPeacock> here's my slightly edited log http://paste.ubuntu.com/15411484/
[23:44] <sarnold> RawPeacock: 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?
[23:54] <RawPeacock> sarnold, I don't believe so no, going over my notes on the installation of the phpIPAM component  http://paste.ubuntu.com/15411556/
[23:56] <sarnold> RawPeacock: and how about the common-account, common-auth, common-session files?
