jsheerenhi there09:10
jsheerenquick question about running the cloudimages on an openstack platform and specificaly io performance differences between stock xenial and stock trusty with a xenial-lts kernel installed through apt09:10
jsheerenare there differences in the kernel options?09:11
jsheerenthe xenial cloud image with kernel 4.4.0-24-generic has almost 2 times better IO performance than the trusty cloud image with the xenial-lts 4.4.0-34-generic kernel09:11
jsheerenwhich i find surprising as i would expect the same performance09:11
jsheereni already asked in #ubuntu-kernel but it's rather quiet down there ..09:11

ilivjsheeren, you're probably gonna be better off taking a look at deb src files where I guess you could see how both kernels were compiled10:46
rbasakcoreycb, jamespage: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2016-August/016812.html11:00
coreycbrbasak, would you mind pointing them to the mitaka review queue for the cinder question?   I need to figure out why I'm not getting ubuntu-devel emails (I'm subscribed).  and I'm headed out of town right now.13:18
rbasakcoreycb: sure, but where is that?13:19
rbasakcoreycb: it's ubuntu-devel-discuss BTW, not ubuntu-devel.13:19
coreycbrbasak, sorry, xenial review queue - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+queue?queue_state=1&queue_text=13:19
coreycbrbasak, ah so maybe I'm not subscribed13:19
rbasakAh, thanks. I assumed it was a special cloud archive thing13:20
rbasakIt'll go back to UCA Trusty after landing in Xenial, right?13:20
coreycbrbasak, thanks for doing that, yes that's correct13:20
rbasakOK, thank you for confirming13:21
rbasakjgrimm, nacc: so a squid3 merge looks pretty involved. I'm definitely not going to finish it today, and in any case I have doubts about pushing it in due to FF etc. But I can hand it over to nacc to continue? It won't be wasted work either way because we'll land it eventually whatever we decide. And the git workflow makes a handover really easy I think.14:56
rbasakAlternatively if we don't want to land it this cycle then I can hold on to it.14:56
jgrimmrbasak, lets pass it along14:57
jgrimmwill be good test of it being easy handover too. :)14:57
rbasakI like that last aspect :)14:57
rbasaknacc: OK, so https://git.launchpad.net/~racb/ubuntu/+source/squid314:58
rbasakI've done deconstruct/3.5.12-1ubuntu8 without reconstruct, but please check it. The reason is that ~ubuntu-server-dev has a previous upload, so I manually rebased the newer imports onto that. Not sure the auto-reconstruct would have handled that.14:58
rbasakMy master branch is my current work in progress towards a logical (incomplete). It have an empty diff (except for update-maintainer and changelog) to old/ubuntu.14:59
rbasakIt *should* have.14:59
rbasakBut it is far from the minimal logical because of the extensive Ubuntu-specific changes wrt. maintainer scripts and migration paths.15:00
rbasakNote also my message in  https://git.launchpad.net/~racb/ubuntu/+source/squid3/commit/?id=279b24d284429fcf9d93767ebe11f4688fc477fd please - I didn't manage to fully match up all changes - perhaps because of a difference in interpretation.15:01
rbasak(and two "previously undocumented" commits too)15:01
xnoxsmb, hi!15:31
smbxnox, yeees?15:31
xnoxlibvirt FTBFS on s390x, because python is not available, and we comment out build-depends on python. My guess is that it is only transitevely installed on all other arches.15:31
xnoxsmb, do you mind if I upload "build-depends: python:any" patch? or do you use some fancy server team git stuff to manage libvirt uploads?15:32
smoserrbasak, around ?15:32
xnoxsample build log at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/279853280/buildlog_ubuntu-yakkety-s390x.libvirt_2.1.0-1ubuntu3.0~ppa1_BUILDING.txt.gz and trivially reproducible by rebuilding current libvirt package from yakkety on s390x15:33
xnoxi'm not sure where/what/how/why dropped python2.7 dep on s390x though =( maybe i should investigate that.15:33
smoseri'm looking at cloud-init packaging... https://git.launchpad.net/cloud-init/tree/debian?h=ubuntu/devel15:33
smbxnox, at some point we added a git tree but I can re-import the change there later15:34
smoseri think i'm kind of forced into having cluod-init.install and grub-legacy-ec2.install because i have the 2 packages (or at least something needs to deal with copying the right files to the right package dir).15:34
smoseri dont like listing things explicitly in https://git.launchpad.net/cloud-init/tree/debian/cloud-init.install?h=ubuntu/devel15:34
smbxnox, but was that yakkety?15:35
xnoxsmb, yes yakkety only. Just today.15:35
smoserbut i need to have the first 2 lines there , or some other way make tools/21-cloud-inig.conf get into /etc/rsyslog.d and the profile.d file too.15:35
xnoxsmb, i'm maintaining a small patch on top of libvirt in my ppa, hence i've noticed.15:35
smbxnox, because the uplaod I did show build ok15:35
smoseri can shorten that to lines 1 and 2 and then 'etc/* lib/* usr/*' but that is still les than ideal. is there an easier way ?15:36
smbxnox, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/2.1.0-1ubuntu315:36
xnoxi just rebuilt that on devac02 in sbuild and it fails.15:36
* xnox pokes chroots to find ways.15:36
xnoxsmoser, sure you can avoid install files.15:36
smbxnox, weird...15:37
* smoser secretly hoped xnox would jump in :)15:37
xnoxsmoser, dh_auto_install --destdir=debian/cloud-init15:37
xnoxthat would run "make install" into your "main" package to install everything.15:37
xnoxthen you just need obscure-package.install to install things there.15:37
xnoxor some such.15:38
xnoxsmoser, see $ man dh_auto_install15:38
smoserok..15:38
smoserand then i can just in install: target or something copy the files to debian/cloud-init ?15:38
xnoxhuh?15:39
naccrbasak: will review it asap15:39
xnoxsmoser, normally, when one has multiple packages upstream built system installs everything into debian/tmp, rather than the main package.15:39
xnoxhere we redirect upstream built system to still install into debian/<main-package> straight away, because the bulk should be there.15:40
xnoxno need to write any .install files for the main package then.15:40
xnoxsmoser, rm debian/cloud-init.install15:41
xnoxsmoser, cat >debian/rules <<EOF15:41
xnoxoverride_dh_auto_install15:41
xnox    dh_auto_install --destdir=debian/cloud-init15:41
xnoxEOF15:41
xnox(add colon, and tab) -> done15:42
xnox..15:46
xnoxsmb, found the culprits - why you no like s390x!!!! =)15:47
* xnox shakes fist15:47
smoserxnox, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23070530/ seems to work for me15:49
smoseris that how you woudl do it ? or would you suggest a different makefile target for doing the install of those files15:49
smoseractually, that seems to result in ignorning of grub-legacy-ec2.install15:50
xnoxsmoser, something like that. grub-legacy-ec2.install should still be run....15:51
xnoxsmoser, does grub-legacy-ec2.install -> installs things from debian/tmp currently? or just from arbitrary places?15:52
smoserfrom debian/15:52
xnoxso should be fine.15:52
smoserhttps://git.launchpad.net/cloud-init/tree/debian/grub-legacy-ec2.install?h=ubuntu/devel15:52
smoserwell, the package ends up with only http://paste.ubuntu.com/23070539/15:53
rbasaksmoser: just catching up. I'm not sure I follow what you want or the reason for your dislike of what you have, so shall I leave it to xnox? :)15:53
xnoxsmoser, mv debian/grub-legacy-ec2.install debian/ec2-init.install ?15:54
smoserrbasak, well, i dont like listing directories for cloud-init as it made me miss some files15:54
smoserthat were installed by setup.py into directories not listed there.15:54
xnoxsmoser, looks like you renamed the package, but didn't rename .install file to match, no?15:54
smoserxnox, no.15:54
smbxnox, tis not that I not care, but if the build ain't broken for me I won't fix it15:54
rbasaksmoser: do you know about dh_install --fail-missing?15:54
smoseri should probably drop the ec2-init package entirely15:54
smoserrbasak, well, yeah. thats another option.15:55
xnoxsmb, so python2.7 is transitive dependency of systemtap-sdt-dev and zfsutils-linux which are arch qualified on all arches, but s390x.15:55
xnoxpython2.7 is needed for apidocs build, and without builddeps on systemtap-sdt-dev/zfsutils the build fails.15:56
rbasaksmoser: sorry, I know I'm not giving you completely coherent answers at the moment. I need to spend some time understanding your question better, but I need to run to a meeting. And then I'm off for a week :-/15:56
xnoxsmoser, you say that things from "grub-legacy-ec2.install" did not install into the package, yet the package you showed in the pastebin is "ec2-init" rather than "grub-legacy-ec2".15:56
smoseroh.15:57
smoseryeah15:57
smoseri suck.15:57
smoseri dpkg -c the wrong file15:57
smoserxnox, thank you for your time.15:57
smbxnox, hm I guess zfsutils-linux would be a good s390x candiate. It just was not done before and I was a bit in a hurry to bead ff15:59
smbbeat even15:59
xnoxsmb, quite. I'll build with xfsutils and systemtap-sdt-dev enabled on s390x, make sure things still work, and then probably upload.15:59
xnoxgood thing i actually started to dig into where the transitive python2.7 dep comes from on !s390x16:00
smbxnox, ack ok. and I sync it up with the git tree after that16:00
xnoxsmb, deal! =)16:02

jonahpatdk-wk: and a lot of errors about pam_systemd.so...19:02
patdk-wkso what your saying is dovecot doesn't work, cause your pam stack is screwed19:02
patdk-wkwhy is your pam stack messed up?19:02
jonahpatdk-wk: yeah something like that - but it does work intermittently...19:02
jonahpatdk-wk: I don't know why it's screwed but it would be great if I could fix it somehow...19:02
patdk-wkalso, what is up with that username?19:02
jonahpatdk-wk: yeah with the hyphen in there? weird eh?19:03
patdk-wklast I knew, domainnames aren't used used for usernames19:03
patdk-wkwell, you configured it that way :)19:03
patdk-wkI know I didn't19:03
patdk-wkand it doesn't come that way19:03
jonahpatdk-wk: yeah that's true, but I didn't screw that pam stack or whatever, that's always been messed up!19:03

spajderixI've recently updated my server from 14.04 to 16.04 and have an issue with openvpn. Whenever I try to start via /etc/init.d/openvpn start, it says it is initiated via systemctl, but nothing happens. When I try systemctl start shade, it then says that openvpn is running, but there is no process. Whenever I try systemctl start openvpn@mynetname, it then says it failed to start because of external command21:36
