Phaneshello00:39
Phaneswhere is the ubuntu maintainer and developer channel00:39
tewardPhanes: the general development channel is #ubuntu-devel, but if you're trying to reach the maintainer of a specific package, filing a bug is more useful00:53
tewardanything under the Server Team's purview, we can poke here00:53
Phanesteward, im building a new distro so was looking for a doc that outlined the considerations made when deciding the components of the system and how they'd be implemented01:00
Phanesor a channel to spray questions into01:01
tewardPhanes: not sure what kind of support you'll get from Ubuntu with that, just saying.01:06
Phaneswhat01:07
Phaneswhy01:07
tewardthere's really no specific channel I can direct you to for that...01:07
tewardbecause there's more than just the "maintainer" and "Developer" aspect01:07
Phanesif it is worth a damn, they'll have documented it01:07
Phanessurely01:10
tomreyni would bet that not all stretegic documents are open for the general public.01:14
tomreyn*strAtegic01:14
tomreynthere are those blueprints on launchpad, however, but that's mostly drafts.01:15
Phanessurely they're not just hoping good will somehow makes engineering happen01:15
Phanesplease tell me canonical is smarter than that01:16

Genk1hello folks09:59
Genk1I have a basic question. I want to synchronize two web repertories /var/www on server 1 and /var/www on server 209:59
Genk1I have choosed to use unison for two-direction synchro feature10:00
Genk1my problem is how to figure out the best strategy to deal with permissions in such situations ?10:00
Genk1do I have to set www-data as an ssh account in both servers ?10:01
Genk1Do I need to setup a new account who has r/w access to /var/www ? and use it for the synchronization ?10:01
Genk1what kind of stuff do people choose in such situations ?10:02
Genk1some documentation suggest to use sudo ?10:03
Genk1is this a healthy way to deal with such problems ?10:04

ziyourenxiangbetter to use a new account and keep www-data read only (assuming your web server is running as www-data)10:25
maxbunison sounds like a bad idea because it inherently requires human interaction to resolve in which direction changes need to be propagated10:32
Genk1ziyourenxiang, OK thanks for your advice11:35
Genk1maxb, you're some how right but can you suggest a better option ?11:36
Genk1maxb, I was thinking about distrubuted FS like Gluster and CEPH but it seems to me that it's a little bit complex to manage11:37
ziyourenxiangother possibilities: if all your content are public then just mirror one of your web server from the other web server using wget or similar12:14
ziyourenxiangor use rsync driven by one side12:14
ziyourenxiangor follow any number of tutorials you can find to use git to 'publish'12:15
tomreynNFS would have been an option, but he left12:34

MASMsomeone here, i have a problem with mdadm resync, the speed y so slow, '  finish=95954.6min speed=168K/sec '15:04
PosterIn my experience, slow resync with mdadm is generally caused by moderate/high IO to the device in question15:16
MASMwhen i start sync all system, the speed decreased, but i cancel the resync of mdadm and speed of hard disk get normal right now15:43
MASMi change the dev.raid.speed_limit_min15:44
MASMand it didn't change anything15:45
PosterThere is a finite amount of bandwidth available to each device that makes up your mdN ; if you are writing to either the md or any other partitions on the physical disk, all contribute to the total amount of bandwidth to the device15:47
MASMPoster: you mean that will be the connector of the raid that is damaged?15:55
MASMwhen i start the sync all speed decrease in both disk, but when i stop, i check speed in both but it is ok15:56
lordievaderMASM: What Poster means is that the available bandwidth of the drives is shared over the sync action and any other action it performs. Hence the speed dwindles if a sync action is going on.15:58
Vamp898Hi there. I used this guide to setup SSSD on Ubuntu 14.04 https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/sssd-ad.html and everything works perfect. But when i use the exact same guide for Ubuntu 16.04, i can join the AD, i can use getent to get user ids and groups and so on, everything works almost fine. Everythig except logging in (no matter if i use su,15:58
Vamp898 ssh or an DM) does work. Login as an user does not work (i type the password an then get "System error". When i switch user with root it works, but i also get there "su: system error"15:58
Vamp898I tried this on a completely new/fresh Ubuntu 16.04 installation15:59
MASMlordievader: the only solution is?, restart in security mode, and do it?15:59
lordievaderMASM: What? There is no solution, this is a hardware limitation. Each drive has a maximum bandwidth...16:00
MASMlorddievader: but "speed=168K/sec" is so slow, i saw in internet that the speed is more than this :S16:01
lordievaderMASM: Oh, it could very well be that mdadm limits the sync speed in order to keep the raid usable.16:02
PosterI don't think it's that low by default16:03
Posterif you really want it to speed up, consider booting into single user mode to allow the resync to be (more or less) the only thing accessing the disks16:03
MASMthe problem is hosting :S and don't see directly16:05
MASMi have a server dedicate16:06
MASMit is possible?16:06
PosterI don't understand the question or solution you are proposing16:07
MASMsorry, English isn't my native lenguaje, to consider booting into single user mode, is posible if i have a server dedicate, if the server isn't here with me?16:09
MASMthe ssh will work?16:10
Postersingle user mode has no network connectivity, you would need console access16:10
Posterwell, you could start it I think16:10
Posterbut generally console access is what you would need16:10
Postereither via KVM switch or if your system is virtualized, via whatever virtualization manager16:10
MASMPoster: i understand.16:12

jgeanyone used chrony before? I'm trying to figure out how I would query another client for stats17:07
jgelooking for an equivelant of ntpq -p17:08
soopanyone familiar with the official ubuntu mail-filter howto (spamassassin/amavis/postfix)?17:25
tomreynwhere is that?17:45
soophttps://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/mail-filtering.html17:51
soopthere17:51
tomreyni guess my question already indicated that i am not familiar with it.17:54
jgenvm, looks like chronyc -h someip tracking does what I want17:56

ws2k3my ubuntu machine has a gigabit nic and is connected to a gigabit switch but it still shows 100Mb/s what can this be?21:43
mybalzitchfailed autonegotiation, bad cable would be my guesses21:45
soopare you sure your port is gigabit?21:56
ws2k3soop yes22:01
ws2k3soop i probarly need to find the source of the issue on the cisco switch22:01
JanCcan be a driver issue too22:09
patdk-lapcan be most anything22:12
patdk-lapevery wire must work, and configs set to autodetect22:12
patdk-lapor you dont' get gigabit22:13
JanCI've seen a NIC fall back to 100 or 10 Mbit/s depending on the kernel (& thus driver) version used22:13
JanCor Gbit/s22:14
compdocit does need all 8 wires in the connectors. if you made any of the cables, then you are likely the cause22:29
ws2k3compdoc they are not self made connectors just patch cable from factory so unlikeley the issue is in the cable22:33
patdk-lapunlikely? I receive lots of bad patch cables22:59
patdk-laplike 100 bad black patch cables, I don't use black ones anymore22:59
patdk-lapfunny only black, the grey, blue, green, red, where all fine23:00
