Curly_QHello folks.02:46
Curly_QUbuntu has a     sudo reboot      and a     sudo poweroff     command.02:47
Curly_QIs there a sleep mode to ensure that Ubuntu can be remotely controlled in sleep mode?02:47
mybalzitchno02:48
Curly_QPower off means that the machine needs to be mechanically turned on.02:48
Curly_QI suppose I could program a device that starts the machine.02:50
Curly_QThere are some devices that do this by way of telephone.02:50
Curly_QThe other thing is can Ubuntu control the BIOS settings remotely?02:52
Curly_QI suppose it would depend upon the type of the machine.02:53
Curly_QWhich means that the BIOS settings would require the machine to reboot.02:54
mybalzitchyou'll want to look at wake on lan02:54
Curly_QI do lots of computer repair and data recovery, but never remotely.02:56
Curly_QI was spoiled by Windows GUI and now like to use the Command Prompt. It is much more rewarding to use.02:58
Curly_QMore homework but worth the effort.02:59
Curly_QMy server is Apache2 Headless. Nice machine. i38603:00
Curly_QI am using Wily  version 15.10  <------<   Nice.03:01
Curly_QThe one thing I don't understand is that if I purchase an expensive 64 bit machine will I have to change all of the software installed to 64 bit?03:04
Curly_QIf I install a 64 bit Ubuntu server will the same software work?03:05
mybalzitchI'm mostly sure you can run 32bit software in a 64bit userland03:05
Curly_QI am sure there are exceptions there.03:06
Curly_QI use VBOX on all of my 32 bit Windows machines and run Debian and Ubuntu servers.03:07
Curly_QI know that 64 bit box will work faster with VBOX.03:07
Curly_QIf there were a 128 bit machine, I would purchase it in a heart beat.03:08
Curly_QSolaris and UNIX are a different story.03:10
Curly_QThe issue is that most programmers program with the current technological compilers and it is 16    32    or    64 bit. Programs vary.03:15
Curly_QAny ways Mybalzitch thanks for the input. You have a strange nickname.  :)03:16
Curly_QI suggest    sudo apt-get  install Scratch Them     hehe03:18
patdk-lapya, use wake-on-lan or ipmi for poweroff/on03:18
Curly_QDon't forget to    sudo apt-get to update     it.03:18
patdk-lapheh?03:19
Curly_QPatdk-lap interesting. I will Google that. Thanks.03:19
* patdk-lap wonders where you can even purchase a 32bit machine03:19
patdk-lapit's been a rather long time since they made cpu's that didn't do 64bit03:20
Curly_QPatdk I have a large collection of computers in my home basement. They just sit there.03:21
Curly_QThe nice thing about Ubuntu is that it still accomodates the older machines. If not you can still download the older versions of Linux or Ubuntu.03:24
Curly_QI have used Red Hat Linux years ago. It was nice.03:26
Curly_QIt came with a floppy disk to install it.03:27
Curly_QPartitioning the disk was fun though.03:28
Curly_QThe floppy disk was a DOS Windows disk. Strange with vmlinuz    file.03:30
Curly_QOh whell, those were the old days,03:33
Curly_QPatdk where are you from?03:34
Curly_QI am from Massachuestts  U.S.A.03:34
Curly_QI guess that everyone here is asleep.03:35
Curly_QHave a nice day folks. Sleep well.03:36

HyllegaardHi.07:34
HyllegaardMy problem is that having just installed ubuntu and the openstack single server, I am not able to reach any of the ip's listed in the openstack status.07:34
HyllegaardHi. I am having problems accessing the ip adresses listed in openstack status, on a freshly installed single server.08:16

bonzibuddyhello16:39
bonzibuddymy ubuntu server 14.04 keeps printing stuff on the console asynchronously, when i'm logged in over ssh16:39
bonzibuddy"fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer [preauth]"16:40
bonzibuddyseems to be related to ssh and potentially brute force attempts16:40
bonzibuddyultimately i dont want those printing to my ssh session.... its really messes up ncurses based things16:40
bonzibuddyhow do i disable that???16:41
andolbonzibuddy: Are you seeing that in a (physical) console or in a ssh terminal session?16:44
bonzibuddyandol: ssh terminal session16:44
bonzibuddyit seems to happen to any logged in user16:46
andolbonzibuddy: Hmm, in that case I'm not sure, but it might an option to tune alt. remove the /dev/xconsole entry in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf16:46
bonzibuddyandol thx! I will look into that.  seems to be what I'm after16:48
* andol is not entirely sure to what extent /dev/xconsole connects to ssh terminal sessions.16:50
bonzibuddythis server is running syslog-ng and seems to have similar rules16:51
andolAhh, then it might make more sense :)16:51
andolI just assumed a default 14.04 install.16:51
tyuihi there17:16
tyuihow to check what happen to a process in a specific time ?17:17
Picityui: What do you mean?17:19
tyuii got a process which goes off  on saturday17:20
tyuii would like to know why that process gone down like that ?17:21
Picityui: look at your logs.17:21
tyuiwhere exactly ?17:21
tyuii can't find /var/log/messages on ubuntu17:21
Picityui: You might find something in /var/log/syslog  but your process might not be configured to log using syslog.17:23
tyuiso where i can find it ?17:24
Picityui: it completely depends on what you are running.17:24
tyuiit's an program perl17:25
tyuiok thanks17:26
tyuibye17:26
BluekingTJ- hello again :)19:08
BluekingTJ- you talked about making script to fix mine net issues related to dhcpdiscover,dhcprequest,dhcpoffer, dhcpnak  problem19:09
TJ-Blueking: oh, yes, how far did you get with that? Last I recall I suggested enabling debugging mode and capturing the log when the lease expires19:35
RoyKTJ-: I think he has a wireshark dump of it19:40
TJ-RoyK: it's the dhclient debug log I asked Blueking to collect19:41
TJ-dhclient fires events into a shell script and we can hook into those events to over-ride actions19:41
RoyKhe should have that as well19:42
RoyKhe gave me some log yesterday, but I was a bit tired19:42
TJ-Some terrible ISP there!19:46
RoyKTJ-: the interesting part is that I have the same ISP and my internet connection has been stable for >5Y19:54
TJ-right, but are you using static IP?19:54
RoyKso it may be the problem is somewhere else19:54
RoyKI have a static IP with DHCP19:54
TJ-also, are you seeing the same short DHCP renew times19:54
RoyKso has Blueking now19:54
RoyKI'm just using the router they gave me - he put that in bridge mode, so there's the diff19:55
TJ-right, and the issue is the ISP DHCP server is NACK-ing the renewal so the lease/address gets withdrawn on the client, then it asks for a fresh lease and gets the same IP back in a new lease19:55
TJ-I was wondering about router MAC registration being an issue19:55
RoyKthey don't have proper ipv6 - so you need to setup 6rd with the router in bridge to make that work19:55
TJ-as I recall we were dealing with IPv4 only19:57
RoyKyeah, but the main reason to use bridge mode on that router thing is to make ipv6 work19:58
RoyKwith 6rd19:58
RoyKI haven't tried it yet19:59

coreycbjamespage, ddellav, I'm fixing up the mitaka CA build failures for ryu and cinder (i386 issues).  I think I have both fixed but cinder might take a little longer since it has some new non-i386 failures on xenial.  I'm going to see if RC2+new deps fix those issues up.20:50
=== bleepy_ is now known as bleepy
rbasakhallyn: quick question, not really work related. What's the recommended way for me to get a shell running in its own cgroup? Should I be using cgm like its manpage example or something else?21:51
rbasak(on Xenial)21:51
rbasakGoogle seems to suggest many things. It's not clear to me what is deprecated, etc.21:52
hallynrbasak: good question.  i think we should ask pitti if there is a proper systemd way to do it21:53
hallyncgm imo is the easiest way still, but since we're trying to drop cgmanager...21:53
rbasakThanks, I'll ask in #ubuntu-devel since pitti isn't here.21:54
hallyn+121:54
BluekingTJ-  back22:05
noobadminhi, people, I need help bringing up a new bridge interface. I'm on 16.04 and I edited /etc/network/interfaces to add 'br0' using dhcp and set 'bridge_ports em0', when I bring it up with 'ifup br0' it works but I lost connectivity22:12
noobadminand I can see on the router a lot of 'arp who-has' and 'arp reply' but nothing else... can somebody help me a bit? I don't know what else to check22:13
Bluekingcan I pm u or u disabled it ?22:14
BluekingTJ- ?22:14
noobadminI'm not sure, I'm not use to use irc... lets try22:14
JRWRWhat would be the best method to combine the free space of 4 servers into once filesystem over a network? all three have different drive sizes but in total it would be 15TB and would like to be able to add new servers in at any time, no redundancy needed since its bulk data that can be easly replaced22:16
JRWRI have experimented with aufs/nfs mounts and it was OK but I found the rr modes where not very roboust22:17
sarnoldJRWR: sounds like ceph, gluster, or maybe hdfs (less likely, depends upon what you're doing with it)22:19
JRWRmostly just bulk media storage, nothing too fancy22:20
sarnoldJRWR: note that ceph appears to be insanely picky about full storage targets. do not let that happen.22:20
sarnoldJRWR: alright, skip researching hdfs then.22:20
JRWRgluster looked pretty good but the auth methods are lacking, noticed it was IP only22:20
JRWRI'm fine with that but how well does it handle load balancing the files across the systems22:21
sarnoldceph allows you to define maps that say which storage targets in which drives in which servers in which racks in which datacenters on which continents get your data22:22
sarnoldit probably scales up to planets too but to my knowledge no one's tried22:22
JRWRlol22:23
JRWRIm not trying to scale that high, maybe 10 servers at max22:23
sarnoldno interplanetary travel? oh well22:23
JRWRgluster looks like a bitch to configure22:23
sarnoldJRWR: ceph feels like a decent fit, but it'll take you two or three days to work through the docs22:24
sarnoldI haven't read all the gluster docs yet, it didn't feel as 'ready' as ceph to me as far as I have researched it22:24
sarnoldthe filesystem layer of gluster felt weak; apparently gluster's object store layer is decent thuogh22:24
JRWRWell this is not for enterprise at all, right now im using mhddfs but its a little CPU heavy22:25
JRWRon top of NFS exports22:25
sarnoldneat, I've never heard of that. seems like a funny storage design though.22:27
JRWRGreyhole workds the same way22:27
JRWRlooks like gluster can stripe files over servers, thats interesting22:36
sarnoldso will ceph22:37
sarnoldthe fact that greyhole and .. uh the other one .. don't do striping is in fact pretty strange to me :)22:37
JRWRboth are more file routers then anything22:38
JRWRthey overall all the filesystems on top of one another and route based off freespace22:38
sarnoldheh, interesting analogy22:38
JRWRso not really a filesystem22:38
sarnoldI guess the nice thing is that if you lose a server you lose those specific files and nothing else; losing enough ceph nodes to run below your replication levels means you lose pretty much everything22:39
sarnoldbut that's why you tune your replication levels appropriately :)22:39
JRWRI was thinking of just exporting everything over NBD22:42
JRWRand zfs the bitch up22:42
JRWRput small OSes on them and do science22:42
sarnoldSCIENCE!22:43
JRWRlol22:43
sarnoldzfs is -not- a cluster filesystem22:43
JRWRno22:43
sarnoldyou probably know that but I've got to say it22:43
JRWRbut you can raid shit22:43
JRWRand nbd exports block devices over the network22:43
JRWRand do support uneven raid22:44
JRWRnbd vs iscsi22:48
JRWRnow I've really gone down the rabbit hole22:48
sarnold.. and -which- iscsi targets / initiators to use..22:49
JRWRoh noes!22:49
* JRWR now has over 400 tabs open in chrome22:49
JRWRuses CHAP for auth22:51
JRWRholy shit22:51
sarnoldyeah, these things often assume they're running on a trusted storage network22:51
sarnolddifferent switches than the application network22:51
JRWRnope, all these guys are pretty much on the open internet22:55
JRWRso software firewalls for me :322:56
sarnoldipsec or openvpn the things then :)22:57
* sarnold adds another dozen tabs to JRWR's poor chrome22:57
JRWRthats what I had kinda planned on22:57
* JRWR knows how to setup openvpn already :p22:57
ndfwheeyy what a time to walk in22:58
ndfI literally just got my openvpn working22:58
ndf=)22:58
ndf</brag>22:58
JRWRso ill do tiny os installs (15GB) and the rest ill export over iscsi22:58
JRWRthen use ZFS to raid all those bad boys together22:58
ndfyou raiding over the internet through vpn?22:59
ndfdidn't even know you could do that22:59
ndflol22:59
sarnold"can" and "should" are different things of course ;)22:59
ndfhah22:59
sarnoldJRWR: ooh ooh ooh, tahoe-lafs. :)22:59
JRWRI saw that23:00
sarnold(though to be honest I don't know how many people use it.)23:00
JRWRndf I'm taking the storage space of a few servers and combining it23:00
JRWRmaking a poor man's SAN23:00
ndfwell I suppose it fills the gap in the market for realtime remote backup, but it's gotta cost a lot of bandwidth23:00
JRWRmeh23:01
JRWRthey are in the same datacenter23:01
ndfoh ok23:01
ndfwellllll wouldn't it be cost effective to shuffle the racks closer and share a hdd cage?23:02
ndflol23:02
ndfwhere's the fun in that tho eh23:02
JRWRthere are some nifty tools I found23:03
JRWRlike mhddfs that works like a file router based off free space23:03
JRWRthats what I'm currently using23:03
JRWRlikes to get touchy when you abuse it23:05
sdezielJRWR: with ZFS you can always use send/receive to copy your data over the VPN link. Not real-time though.23:07
JRWRya, looking for real time, thats why I was exploring layered filesystems23:07
JRWRAuFS looks pretty nice23:07
sdezielJRWR: for real-time replication, DRBD is pretty impressive and since it runs over TCP, it's easy to tunnel over VPN23:08
sarnoldaufs/overlayfs feel like a stream of issues :/23:08
JRWRlooking for combined, not redundancy23:09
sdeziellike RAID0 over the network?23:09
JRWRpretty much23:09
JRWRthats why i was going to use iSCSI and do soft-raid23:09
sdezielshould work (make sure to use write-mostly for the iSCSI one)23:10
sdezielerr, write-mostly only makes sense for RAID1 ... nvm that part23:13
