[03:06] <codepython777> I've to provision 10 bare metal servers - what is a good way to do this, apart from installing by hand and then running a install script for installing what i need.
[04:06] <vbotka> codepython777, you might want to take a look at ansible
[04:06] <vbotka> https://launchpad.net/~ansible/+archive/ubuntu/ansible
[04:06] <vbotka> https://launchpad.net/~ansible/+archive/ubuntu/ansible
[04:10] <jak2000> vbotka know about sshkeys?
[04:11] <codepython777> vbotka: I am using ansible - but I need an easy way to apt-get ansible and then run the playbook - assuming i have baremetal
[09:11] <mowthegrass> trying to install 12.04, after system installation i can only see memtest in grub
[09:11] <mowthegrass> any idea why ?
[12:40] <frickler> jamespage: coreycb: can we still get python-keystoneauth1=2.4.1 into xenial? it was in yakkety for a short time, but has been superseded there by 2.7.0. the latter probably is too new for mitaka, though
[12:40] <coreycb> frickler, we likely can if there are some high priority bug fixes
[12:41] <jamespage> coreycb, tbh if its a point release ontop of 2.4, we can push it through under the micro release exception that the SRU team can grant whenever now
[12:41] <coreycb> jamespage, yes
[12:41] <coreycb> jamespage, frickler: we'll work on that
[12:42] <frickler> ah, I already had a bug open for it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/python-keystoneauth1/+bug/1586900
[12:45] <coreycb> frickler, thanks!
[13:02] <jayjo_> Is there a way to validate json documents in the command line?
[13:12] <jamespage> ddellav, coreycb, cargonza-holiday: made the decision to move OpenStack things to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStack
[13:12] <jamespage> from out of ServerTeam
[13:13] <coreycb> jamespage, seems like a better place these days
[13:14] <coreycb> jamespage, what ever happened to the 36 months of support for LTS+2 release?  is that still happening?
[14:22] <skylite> im trying to use pv remotely like this> ssh user@host "pv dump.sql | mysql -u -p" but the pv progress bar does not show up. How can I see it?
[14:22] <jrwren> skylite: add -t to ssh command to allocated a tty.
[14:23] <jrwren> err, to allocate a tty
[14:24] <skylite> jrwren brilliant thx
[15:24] <jayjo_> my ec2 instance has begun running very slow. I tried stopping and starting it in case it was an issue of the host... are there some easy checks to see what's going on?
[15:30] <patdk-wk> vmstat, iostat
[15:31] <frickler> has anyone seen this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/17597189/ I'm getting similar errors if I try to do tab completion on a systemctl command
[15:32] <coreycb> ddellav, jamespage: ci update: nova newton - patches dropped/rebased, neutron mitaka - opened bug/patched out new test that landed and is failing, aodh mitaka - updated to install new aodh-data-migration tool, designate liberty - uploaded dh-python != fix to wily review queue
[15:40] <kirkland> hggdh: hrm, that's really weird!  it is completely GPLv3...
[15:41] <kirkland> hggdh: I have not idea...
[15:44] <hggdh> kirkland: yeah. But gnome-software center thinks otherwise :-)
[15:44] <kirkland> hggdh: I have no idea why;  if someone figures out why, I'm happy to go and fix it :-)
[15:45] <hggdh> heh
[16:31] <coreycb> beisner, nova 2:13.0.0-0ubuntu5~cloud0 is ready to promote to xenial-proposed
[16:31] <coreycb> that is, mitaka-proposed
[16:34] <beisner> hi coreycb, promoted nova 13.0.0-0ubuntu5~cloud0 -> mitaka-proposed re: bug 1576093
[16:34] <coreycb> beisner, thanks sir
[16:34] <beisner> coreycb, yw sir
[16:47] <Impaloo> Anyone uses ruby-switch(1) here?

[17:49] <ikonia> presseed ?
[17:50] <ikonia> preseed
[17:52] <codepython777> ikonia: is there something better than pxe, preseed, ...or anything that is not 20 years old and painful to use?
[17:52] <ikonia> whats wrong with pxe and preseed ?
[17:52] <ikonia> you can use it with image based deployment too
[17:54] <codepython777> ikonia: is there an easier way? I've not used them, but the way they are designed looks ... not nice
[17:54] <ikonia> codepython777: they are really really easy to use
[17:54] <ikonia> doesn't take long to setup
[17:55] <codepython777> ikonia: in preseed, can i use my own ansible playbook - to play at the end?
[17:55] <ikonia> codepython777: sure thing
[17:55] <ikonia> codepython777: once the box comes up and deploys just run the playbook
[17:55] <ikonia> codepython777: you could even put that in as a "post" script
[17:55] <codepython777> cool
[17:55] <codepython777> Let me try preseed
[17:56] <ikonia> first few times, you'll screw it up
[17:56] <ikonia> don't worry about it
[17:56] <ikonia> once you click with it, you'll fly
[17:56] <jrwren> codepython777: maas is very good and open source.
[17:56] <jrwren> codepython777: http://maas.io
[17:57] <ikonia> you like maas ?
[17:57] <jrwren> its come a long way ;]
[17:57] <ikonia> no doubt, it just still feels immature and lacking features
[17:57] <jrwren> what kind of features?
[17:58] <jrwren> i use it for a specific case, it works well for my case. I can see how it may not work well for other cases.
[17:58] <ikonia> so for example how it doesn't depend on the underlying platform technology it does it's "own" thing
[17:58] <ikonia> I may give the current version a try
[17:58] <ikonia> I just don't see what it has over say foreman
[17:59] <jrwren> i'm not sure what that means.
[17:59] <jrwren> it does depend on "underlything platform technology" afaict. Being a string of words, we might expect different things from "underlyhing platform technology"
[17:59] <ikonia> maybe it's time to give it another try and see where it is "now"
[18:00] <ikonia> is it still run by canonical ?
[18:00] <jrwren> it looks very similar to foreman to me. I've not played with theforeman. Maybe I should.
[18:00] <jrwren> yes, it is still run by canonical
[18:01] <ikonia> foreman does physical/virtual has plugins for providers such as dhcp providers, dns providers etc etc
[18:01] <ikonia> I'll give maas a spin now with the current build
[18:05] <codepython777> checking out mass
[18:06] <codepython777> jrwren: In my case, I will have to provision one machine with mass, and then PXE boot the 10 machines?
[18:07] <ikonia> think of mass as a manger/wrapper for pxe in your example
[18:07] <ikonia> once the machines are booted maas can be used to manage them
[18:08] <jrwren> codepython777: yes.
[18:13] <codepython777> jrwren: what is a good place to get suport on mass? (mailing list? here?)
[18:18] <jrwren> codepython777: askubuntu, #maas
[18:19] <mowthegrass> Hello , Has anyone tried to set grub password on 12.04. I need some help. I did set up superuser to /etc/grub.d/40_custom however the system on its boot just drops to an shell where user manually
[18:19] <mowthegrass> needs to enter the password to boot
[18:19] <Xin> type in
[18:19] <Xin> iamrediculous
[18:20] <mowthegrass> while trying to add --unrestricted as menuentry argument it just boots to memtest
[18:21] <mowthegrass> i did try out the solution provided by Alain Regura (http://askubuntu.com/questions/499264/how-to-set-up-grub2-password-in-an-easy-way) it works well for 14.04
[18:22] <mowthegrass> but not on 12.04
[18:23] <rattking> yeah the grub password behaviour completely changed between 12.04 and 14.04 :(
[18:24] <mowthegrass> rattking:documentation on them are not very clear https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Passwords
[18:25] <mowthegrass> while i try to user --users in 12.04  every reboot i just need to take up a console and manually type in username/password to boot the system
[18:26] <mowthegrass> TIMEOUT in /etc/default/grub just ticks down and then drops to shell where i need to just enter the passord to boot the system
