[00:51] <coreycb> jamespage, beisner: when one of you get a chance, can you promote sahara to trusty-mitaka proposed?
[02:21] <hallyn> arges: hey, do you have a qemu-bisecting script out there?
[02:22] <helpwth> im going insane. i have moved all my folders over to my ssd. i have done a grub install and i have done a grub update and i have changed the UUID of fstab and it still says "loading OS error no such device" uuid of old HDD entering rescue mode. can someone please help
[02:31] <TJ-> helpwth: in the GRUB rescue> shell now?
[02:32] <helpwth> yeah
[02:35] <TJ-> helpwth: try "ls" and see what device nodes you see
[02:36] <TJ-> helpwth: if you're good at guessing, then try to find GRUB's files by checking each of the "(hdX,msdosY)" nodes with "ls (hdX,msdosY)/" and looking for boot files
[02:37] <TJ-> helpwth: if there's a separate /boot/ file-system, you'll see vmlinuz-<version> and initrd.img-<version> there; if /boot/ is in the root file-system you'll see all the standard / directories such as /bin /usr /var /etc /dev ...
[02:38] <TJ-> helpwth: also, check what GRUB's idea of where it's root file-system is with "set" and check 'root=' and 'prefix='
[02:39] <beisner> o/ coreycb  yep will do
[02:42] <arges> hallyn: https://github.com/arges/qemu-bisector havne't used it in a while
[02:44] <sarnold> how have I never seen nproc before??
[02:44] <sarnold> that's awesome
[02:45] <TJ-> sarnold: I find that browsing things like "dpkg -L coreutils | grep bin/" and then exploring man-pages can be very enlightening :)
[02:45] <cagmz>  I set a PS1 variable in my .bashrc, and it shows up when I SSH, but if I record the terminal using script(), it looks like I have two prompts; my original and my custom PS1. how do I fix this? I'm using my linux box through SSH
[02:46] <sarnold> TJ-: trouble is, I did most of my manpage exploring in the 90s :)
[02:47] <TJ-> sarnold: time to retro it :)
[02:47] <sarnold> TJ-: souds like fun
[02:48] <sarnold> cagmz: look slike that happens default out of the box too; itlooks fine with 'cat typescript' though
[03:01] <helpwth> tj dtill here?
[03:05] <hallyn> arges: awesome, thx
[03:22] <TJ-> helpwth: popping in and out
[03:22] <helpwth> i got frustrated and downloaded live cd on a usb. updated grub and installed grub. in the boot/grub.cfg it shows the right UUID... but when i restart and press C at the grub menu it STILL shows the old HD UUID
[03:23] <TJ-> helpwth: you've got other devices connected and the system has the boot loader on one of them, not the one you think and is booting from that other device
[03:23] <helpwth> ive since ran sudo grub-install /dev/sda and it made the boot/grub
[03:24] <helpwth> but when i restart the boot/grub is gone
[03:24] <helpwth> like i twas nevver made
[03:27] <hallyn> arges:
[03:27] <hallyn> "# - ensure autologin to root from ttyS0
[03:27] <hallyn> how exactly do you do that?
[03:28] <sarnold> pitti may have something stealable in the autopkgtest prepare-vm things
[03:28] <hallyn> in the old day syou'd put bash in /etc/inittap or something :)
[03:28] <hallyn> hm, yeah
[03:29] <hallyn> though actually i may not need that - i don't need to login to do stuff ,just need to check that it booted
[03:29] <hallyn> so i can just have expect wait for a login prompt with timeout
[03:29] <hallyn> i think
[03:32] <hallyn> yeah 'close' seems to then kill the task so all's good
[05:43] <lordievader> Good morning
[08:10] <loli1> hello
[08:10] <loli1> I have a problem wig logrotate and anacrontab
[08:10] <loli1> myabe you can help me
[08:13] <loli1> I have a set of logs that I want to rotate every day at 23:59. So, I created the rules in /etc/logroata.d/myLogs, and added in CRON, that a 23:59, execute lorotate of that path. THE PROBLEM: is that ANACRONTAB executes all /etc/logrotate.d/ at 00:00. So what happens is: at 23:59 "myLogs" are rotated by CRON, and then at 00:00 are rotated again!!!! How do I solve this?? I onyl want to rotate those logs, and only those, at 23:59
[08:26] <yossarianuk>  Is anyone aware of any good bare metal backup solution that works with windows, mac and linux ?
[08:37] <lordievader> If you have ssh/rsync access to windows/mac, dirvish.
[08:38] <yossarianuk> lordievader: not a bad idea - does rsync on windows still require cygwin ?
[08:45] <lordievader> No idea...
[08:59] <jelly> rsync-based scripts like dirvish or rsnapshot are not enough for bare-metal-restore capability even on linux, let alone windows
[09:00] <yossarianuk> bacula has been suggested and that seems to fit the bill.
[09:21] <Sling> bacula can be old and cumbersome but it does the job :)
[11:34] <arges> hallyn: no idea, that script is really old, I bet it could be improved alot
[11:55] <pmatulis> morning
[12:05] <Ameurux> hello
[13:26] <frickler> jamespage: ceph 10.1.0 is doing fine so far, one minor issue would be getting rid of the warnings during installation: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15576472/
[13:27] <jamespage> frickler, hmm - that looks like some sort of debhelper bug
[13:27] <jamespage> please can you file a but
[13:27] <jamespage> bug rather
[13:29] <frickler> jamespage: will do
[13:30] <frickler> jamespage: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15576693/ looks more serious, look at the "Tasks:" output. seems like systemd counts each thread as a task, so the default limit of 512 will be pretty low for OSDs in a larger cluster
[13:30] <frickler> jamespage: I'll do a bug report for that, too
[13:31] <jamespage> frickler, +1
[13:31] <jamespage> I'd like to include as much as possible in my next upload
[13:31] <jamespage> frickler, thanks for the testing btw - nice to have more eyes on ceph :-)
[13:33] <frickler> jamespage: yeah, we did run with the builds from ceph for trusty, but they don't have builds for Xenial yet and having a current ceph version directly from Ubuntu sounds like a better alternative anyway
[13:33] <jamespage> frickler, tbh we track upstream releases pretty closely
[13:34] <frickler> jamespage: in trusty there only is firefly and no hammer
[13:34] <jamespage> frickler, you can get hammer from the UCA
[13:35] <jamespage> frickler, add-apt-repository cloud-archive:kilo
[13:35] <jamespage> for example
[13:35] <jamespage> frickler, add-apt-repository cloud-archive:mitaka
[13:35] <jamespage> mitaka will have jewel in the end
[13:38] <frickler> jamespage: hmm, right, but we are targetting mitaka on xenial now anyway, nicer kernels and stuff ;)
[13:38] <jamespage> frickler, of course
[13:38] <jamespage> frickler, are you covering ceph and openstack?
[13:38] <jamespage> covering/using?
[13:39] <frickler> jamespage: yes
[13:39] <jamespage> frickler, well if you hit any problems with packaging ping either coreycb, myself or ddellav
[13:41] <frickler> jamespage: well, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceph/+bug/1563330 would be nice, and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cinder/+bug/1564812 too ;)
[13:42] <jamespage> frickler, ack
[13:55] <frickler> jamespage: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceph/+bug/1564922 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceph/+bug/1564917 are the new bugs
[14:06] <jamespage> ddellav, ok barbican uploaded...
[14:10] <ddellav> jamespage ok
[15:40] <jamespage> beisner,
[15:40] <jamespage> [   37.408818] cloud-init[2193]: Can not apply stage config, no datasource found! Likely bad things to come!
[15:41] <beisner> wee
[15:42] <beisner> jamespage, https://github.com/ryan-beisner/charm-nova-compute  for cpu passthrough and smt bits that worked @ 15.10
[15:42] <jamespage> [FAILED] Failed to start Raise network interfaces.
[15:43] <beisner> jamespage, i need to revalidate when i can test on ppc64el, then planning to put that review up
[15:45] <tdelam> hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu 14.04-4 LTS and everything is fine, except when I log in to install anything via apt-get nothing exists? I tried apt-cache search mysql for example and the only that comes back is "rsyslog - reliable system and kernel logging daemon" .. i've never seen this before. Any idea why this would be? sources.list seems fine
[15:57] <FuriousGeorge_> hey all
[15:57] <FuriousGeorge_> what would you use to backup a remote server with a 1tb disk that is 95% free
[15:57] <FuriousGeorge_> there was something i used to use but i can't think of it
[15:57] <FuriousGeorge_> more like 99% free
[15:58] <patdk-wk> tar
[15:58] <patdk-wk> rsync
[15:58] <patdk-wk> duplicity
[15:58] <patdk-wk> ....
[15:58] <patdk-wk> what exactly is it your attempting to do
[16:02] <FuriousGeorge_> patdk-wk: ideally id like to copy what i back up right over my drive like dd, but im thinking that's not possible
[16:02] <FuriousGeorge_> i used to use a program, but tbh i can't recall if it was only for ntfs, that would make an image
[16:02] <FuriousGeorge_> partimage
[16:02] <patdk-wk> sure, but if you do that, it will backup all that extra stuff
[16:02] <FuriousGeorge_> bcouldn't remember name at first.  but idk if that will work
[16:03] <patdk-wk> so you really need to save the disk? not just the files?
[16:03] <patdk-wk> if you really need a dd like image, I would zerowipe your freespace first
[16:03] <FuriousGeorge_> patdk-wk: not really, but i'd like to have something akin to the snapshot i take with my vps if possible
[16:03] <FuriousGeorge_> if it's too hard, then tar w/e
[16:04] <patdk-wk> well, not all vps's expose a block device you are allowed to touch
[16:04] <DirtyCajun> FuriousGeorge_: i just rsync a backup file and exclude boottime folders. does the exact same thing. only change would be UUIDs if yu had to repartition
[16:12] <FuriousGeorge_> DirtyCajun: patdk-wk:  ty
[16:28] <cyphermox> jgrimm: what is the difference in the way one starts MAAS from the CD for a region controller vs. a rack controller, do you know, or can you point me to someone who would?
[16:30] <jgrimm> cyphermox, roaksoax... rharper and he are looking at getting the bits for that ready.
[19:16] <randymarsh9> so is the bash-windows story true or is this an april fools
[19:45] <patdk-wk> randymarsh9, heh? that was days ago
[22:32] <aruns> Hi.
[22:33] <aruns> Silly question, but how do I open a file from terminal?
[22:33] <aruns> I have tried xdg-open, but that does not always seem to work.
[22:36] <hilx> nano filename
[22:36] <hilx> or sudo nano filename
[22:37] <Sling> aruns: what do you mean with 'open' ? view its contents? run it? edit it?
[22:38] <aruns> Sling: Yes, I want to edit it in a text editor.
[22:38] <aruns> My default text editor is Gedit.
[22:39] <Ben64> how did you install ampps
[22:39] <aruns> Command line.
[22:39] <aruns> Apache is fine.
[22:39] <Ben64> can you be more specific
[22:40] <aruns> cd /download/location chmod 0755 Ampps-<version>-<arch>.run ./Ampps-<version>-<arch>.run
[22:40] <Ben64> yeah, that's not supported at all
[22:40] <aruns> Where <version> is the current version of Ampps that I have installed.
[22:40] <aruns> No, Ampps is running.
[22:41] <aruns> I just need to edit the MySQL config file.
[22:41] <Ben64> great, but this channel doesn't support 3rd party stuff, and the ampps website says it's only supported on centos
[22:41] <aruns> No, I just want to know how to open a text file via terminal.
[22:41] <aruns> Onto a text editor.
[22:41] <Ben64> vim /path/to/file
[22:41] <aruns> Oh, OK.
[22:42] <Ben64> or nano, or whatever editor you like
[22:42] <aruns> I can't use Gedit?
[22:42] <Ben64> gedit /path/to/file
[22:42] <aruns> Ah, OK.
[22:42] <aruns> Thanks.
[22:43] <Ben64> so yeah, you should not be doing any of this. by circumventing the normal package process you're going to be missing out on security updates for mysql and apache, not great ideas
[22:44] <aruns> I just wanted to try Ampps out as a LAMP stack configuration server.
[22:44] <aruns> *LAMP stack server configuration
[22:44] <Ben64> that doesn't make sense
[22:46] <aruns> Eh, my machine is 11 years old anyway.
[22:46] <aruns> I don't have any sensitive data on here.
[22:46] <Ben64> so who cares about security?
[22:47] <aruns> Well, it's not my main machine.
[22:47] <Ben64> it's on a network with your main machine, right
[22:47] <aruns> Yes.
[22:47] <Ben64> and it's on internet you pay for, and are subject to the ToS
[22:47] <Ben64> so anything illegal that happens on your hacked server comes back to you
[22:50] <aruns> Actually, I was probably better off installing Apache, MySQL and PHP from command line.
[22:50] <aruns> But I know for next time.
