lordievaderGood morning07:31
zioprotohello ubuntu folks08:38
zioprotomy monitoring system is not happy because of these errors in kern.log https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/170544708:38
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1705447 in linux (Ubuntu Zesty) "misleading kernel warning skb_warn_bad_offload during checksum calculation" [Medium,Fix released]08:38
zioprotothis happens on Bare Metal08:39
zioprotoI guess I can safely ignore them ... is anyone else hitting this stuff ?08:39
jamespagecoreycb: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/horizon/+bug/1677207 seem familiar to you? I'm not sure our flush cache/upgrade bits are working in the horizon pacakges.09:57
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1677207 in horizon (Ubuntu) "dashboard not workable after upgrade from newton to ocata" [High,Confirmed]09:57
zioprotogood... some Ocata bugs are popping up before I start my upgrade :)10:04
coreycbjamespage: ah, is it memcache do you think?11:49
hehehehey hey12:17
heheheif I am making new sftp user - chrooting it to images directory and using strong password is all that I need?12:17
hehehe:)12:17
hehehejust a user who can upload images via www :D12:18
jamespagecoreycb: I don't think so12:18
heheheMatch Group sftp_users - whats that for ?X11Forwarding no   AllowTcpForwarding no ChrootDirectory /images12:19
heheheok I see whats up12:29
hehehe:)12:29
heheheits to catch users to whom following commands apply12:29
hehehehowever in my cases, dirs are owned by root:www-data lol12:29
hehehecan I use Match user somehow instead of a group?12:30
heheheso I add 1 more user to www-data group :)12:30
hehehemm anyhow now I see that entire path have to be root:root13:18
hehehebut my php app required group write read access13:18
hehehevia group13:18
rbasaknacc: "debian/changelog must exist in source packages"13:50
rbasakLooks like that's only just become a requirement.13:50
rbasakInteresting for us.13:50
naccrbasak: where is that?15:12
rbasaknacc: lastest Debian policy change.15:26
rbasakSent to devel-debian-announce15:26
naccrbasak: ah15:27
naccrbasak: I mean, beyodn perhaps adding it to the linter, what do you expect to chagne?15:28
rbasaknacc: I mean that we're assuming that it exists when importing historical packages.15:46
rbasakBut I suppose if it did in practice, then we're OK. Hence interesting rather than a problem.15:46
naccrbasak: ah ok15:47
naccrbasak: yeah, I think we just would't see any versiosn15:47
naccrbasak: which would mean orphans15:47
naccperhaps we'd fail to tag too15:47
naccnot sure15:47
naccrbasak: is your schedule pretty full today, or do you think you'll be able to get to ay of the reviews?15:48
rbasaknacc: seems unlikely, sorry. Do you have any small ones you can point out that I can try to tackle when I find a few minutes here and there?15:59
naccrbasak: no it's fine, just gauging my own expectations16:00
lol768https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW states that "By default, UFW allows ping requests"16:02
lol768the minute I do an "ufw enable", I can no longer ping6 the server, or ping6 out from it16:03
naccrbasak: the only one that definitively you need to review is the queue change16:22
naccrbasak: was cjwatson's suggestion that we add a Git-Ubuntu: field to the DSC?17:43
naccrbasak: i see dgit adds a Dgit17:43

drabhello .o/18:12
sarnoldhey drab :)18:12
drabI'm considering doing something "different" for our centralized home dirs and hoped to hear some opinions18:13
drabbasically right now we have a standard ldap + nfs shares, users auth against ldap and pam_mount mounts their homedir18:13
drabhowever as I've been moving stuff to containers nfs is a pita becuase the userspace version is awfully slow and the kernel version won't run in a container18:14
drabthere's also the problem that a network blip and/or issue with the nfs server freezes up the clients very badly18:14
drabI've read that may be fixed using soft rather than hard mounts with nfs tho18:15
drabin any case, as I was trying to help some folks with a samba share, I came across some links wondering if I could use samba for homedirs...18:15
drabit turns out there's some largish university campuses doing homedirs on samba as it can be interoperated with windows too, but generally I've not seen a lot of setups like that and wondered how crazy of an idea it is18:16
nacci mean, i'd expect to see some similar caveats a la network blips18:16
nacci'm not sure how resilient samba is to long outages18:16
sarnoldsoft mounts definitely help nfs clients18:17
drabI've no experience with samba so wondering if: a) is it performing alright compared to nfs? (will test of course) 2) is it crazy to put homedirs on it coupled with ldap?18:17
naccand/or how it reconciles remote changes onn the server18:17
naccdrab: +1 on soft, though18:17
drabtbh the most appealing part of this is avoiding to run kvm so that I can run nfs-kernel-server18:18
drabright now I'm 99% lxc with the exception of the nfs server, requiring kvm18:18
draband that means handing off the infra to people requires them to know how to deal with that too which isn't terribly hard but does add some complications18:18
drabso if I could be 100% lxc using samba for homedirs that would be, in the larger picture, quite a win18:19
drabbut I don't want of course to ruin it for all the users by making their experience terrible18:19
naccdrab: in theory, could your VM be a privileged container?18:19
drabnacc: the thing is, that doesn't really solve the isolation issue... I've had nfs locking up on the server and taking down the whole thing18:20
naccdrab: ah sure18:20
naccdrab: yep, i can see that happening :)18:20
drabso even if I could do a privileged containres, which I guess would solve having kvm18:20
naccyeah, if you need isolation, then that's a different issue18:20
drabI don't quite feel comfortable given everything else going on on that box18:20
naccyep18:20
drabyeah, but you're right, that would solve my kvm issue18:20
sarnolddrab: are you sure the samba mounts _would_ be allowed?18:20
naccdrab: nfs lockinng up in the kernel?18:20
drabnacc: yes, basically locking up the machines, doing something bad to the drives, whatever18:21
drabending up impacting all the other containers/services on that box18:21
drabsarnold: based on what I read, it looks like it. this is the best link so far:18:21
drabhttps://sites.duke.edu/linux/cifs-nfs-homes/18:21
drabso it seems the workflow is the same18:21
drabexcept it uses pam_cifs18:22
drabaltho right now I'm using autofs to mount the homes, not even pam_mount18:22
drabbut that should also work with samba no prob18:22
drabexcept that samba requires user/pwd so maybe pam is required in this workflow18:22
drabthe added benefit to using samba over nfs is auth18:22
sarnolddrab: btw i've had success unsticking nfs mounts by bringing up the IP address of the server on an interface, exporting an identically-named filesystem, and umounting18:22
drabgood to know, thanks for sharing18:23
drabI guess I'll take it as a good sign that neither of you called me crazy and begin experimenting :)18:27
drabthat will give me a better sense, the general principle seems fairly simple/standard, I just have no clue how well samba is going to handle disconnections or multiple logins (sometimes ppl forget to log out and their home stays mounted)18:28
naccahasenack: --^ has also been doing quite a bit to get samba up to snuff relative to bug reports18:28
nacche may have further insights18:28
drabthat's another pretty annoying this I found no good solution to... log people out after inactivity18:29
drabok, cool, thanks18:29
drabalways good to be here, you guys are great :)18:29
sarnolddrab: check out systemd-logind for the idle thing.18:30
drabk, thanks18:31
drabbrb18:31
sarnoldmy own experience with samba is decades ago at this point but I recall being massively annoyed at how many bloody authentication types there are. public, share-level security, user auth, etc etc18:31
sarnoldbut if you get to run the server and clients and control them yourself you can probably get something happy18:32
coreycbbeisner: hi, can you please promote horizon 3:11.0.3-0ubuntu3~cloud0 to ocata-proposed? it's a high-priority fix for upgrade from newton->ocata.20:49
beisnerhi coreycb - on that ^20:50
coreycbbeisner: cheers, thanks20:51
drabsarnold: nacc: fwiw found this which seems possibly problematic: https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/344222:12
drabbut stgraber says he has it working so maybe I'm misunderstanding the issue22:12
naccdrab: do you use zentyal?22:12
drabI only need to serve files, not even the DC part, altho it'd be nice to do that later22:12
drabI don't , but it didn't seem zentyal specific, maybe I misread22:13
drabthe problems seemed to be related how samba stores the acls in the security.* namespace22:13
naccdrab: zentyal sets the --use-xattrs bits22:14
naccdrab: but not really sure either22:14
nacci'd try it and see :)22:14
drabheh, I'm setting stuff up nowish, had to deal with some broken hardware and building sorting box frames22:14
drabthe "fun" part of being a charity is that we hold on whatever junk we can get our hands on for the rainy days22:15
drabit's like a flashback 20yrs in my father's garage...22:15
drabI don't think he ever threw away a single screw, everything had to come off before the boards ended up in the bin22:16
naccthat's how my dad was too22:16
nacci had one of his boxes of screws until it got rained22:16
naccsomehow he kept it totally organized by type, size, thread, etc. too22:16
* drab nods22:16
drabI think the first tool I was every introduced to was a labelling machine :P22:17
naccheh22:17
drabnow that it's up to me I just write with sharpies on masking tape lol :P22:18
naccyeah, that's what we do in our pantry, e.g. :)22:18
stgraberdrab: the xattrs stuff is configurable IIRC and my DC is deployed manually through samba-tool, so I'm simply not passing that particular option22:18
drabstgraber: sounds good, thanks for chiming in22:18
drabstgraber: any chance you have an opinion on the craziness of replacing nfs+ldap with samba+ldap for centralized homedirs for a bunch of linux desktops?22:19
stgraberI haven't done either in a while. I used to do that kind of stuff for school districts in a previous life and I seem to remember both being annoying but in different ways :)22:20
naccheh22:20
drabyep, that's exactly where I am... edu charity/school and being annoyed :P22:21
stgraberIIRC we'd usually do nfs on trusted networks where no sharing was needed with Windows and cifs for the rest22:21
drabI guess testing will tell... getting to it22:21
drabyeah, I'd normally do that if it wasn't that I'm trying to get everything into containers22:21
draband nfs-kernel-server won't play nice with it and still be a nuisance to the host if I go with a privileged container22:22
drabsamba would solve that problem, which is quite a plus in this setup22:22
stgraberyeah, and the old nfs-user-server wasn't exactly fun to use :)22:22
drabyap22:22
VillageHello,23:02
Villagewhat's best SMTP server is on ubuntu 16.04?23:03
VillageWhere you can chnge ports?23:03
naccVillage: 'best' is a really ... vague ... term to use. I would think every SMTP server worth using is configurable as to what port it listens onn.23:06
naccVillage: which have you looked at?23:07
VillageI want that Internet Site can send emails via SMTP and email addresses sender by not same..23:08
Villagenow i looking23:08
Villagepostfix23:08
drabpostfix is good23:14
drabpostfix and exim are 2 of the common ones and largely a matter of taste which one you pick23:15
drabpersonally exim would drive me bonkers each time I tried to configure it and always stuck with postfix, but really it's just a personal preference thing23:15
drabVillage: ^^23:15
VillageOk, i have at mind that two of best is postfix and exim23:22
Villagebut i wanna know google smtp not allow send user@gov.us ?23:23
drabwhy do you think it does not?23:27
Villagei don't know need try23:29
oerheksmake sure you leave a copy on your gov.us server :-D23:47
