[04:11] <pankaj> I know that sed and awk are streamline editors. What are the most important uses of them in programing world?
[04:43] <pankaj> Can anybody please tell me the most important usage of sed and awk in the programming world. What amazing and important things can I do with them?
[04:54] <ChmEarl> start reading code & make files, then it will become clear
[13:03] <zioproto> I have a question about the Ubuntu packaging of Openstack Cinder
[13:04] <zioproto> coreycb or jamespage are you guys around here ??
[13:04] <coreycb> zioproto: hi
[13:05] <zioproto> hi coreycb
[13:05] <zioproto> do we meetup in Sidney ?
[13:05] <zioproto> I am doing a change in our cinder, version 2:9.1.4-0ubuntu1~cloud0
[13:05] <coreycb> zioproto: no but i think james will be there
[13:05] <coreycb> zioproto: ok
[13:06] <zioproto> because puppet is not the best tool, but is what we have at the moment, I need to test our puppet code to start with the cinder.conf provided from the packaging
[13:06] <zioproto> so I delete my cinder.conf
[13:06] <zioproto> and I do
[13:06] <zioproto> sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" install --reinstall cinder-common
[13:06] <zioproto> I think this should be the right way to restore the original cinder.conf file
[13:06] <zioproto> from the package distribution
[13:07] <zioproto> but I noticed that the package scripts require database access, that is not present yet in the cinder.conf file
[13:07] <zioproto> I get this error
[13:07] <coreycb> zioproto: yes that seems like it should do it
[13:07] <zioproto> https://pastebin.com/QUaNNegp
[13:07] <coreycb> zioproto: ok taking a look at the package
[13:08] <zioproto> to my understanding the packages scripts try to do something in the database during the package installation, giving for granted that info to access the database are in cinder.conf
[13:08] <zioproto> of course I just added these info to cinder.conf and I was able to finish the package installation
[13:08] <zioproto> I could not test what happens on a fresh install
[13:09] <coreycb> zioproto: ok we actually removed execution of 'cinder manage db-sync' in pike packages
[13:09] <coreycb> zioproto: we were setting up an sqlite db by default
[13:11] <zioproto> ok I see
[13:11] <zioproto> maybe I ended up in a corner case
[13:12] <smoser> hallyn, i've not used in a long time. you did you use the livecd or the d-i ?  upgrade ? fresh install ?
[13:12] <zioproto> so if this is removed in Pike I guess we are fine
[14:58] <hallyn> smoser: fresh install, server cd
[15:01] <smoser> hallyn, i'd have to look. you install from preseed or something ? or interactive
[15:05] <drab> hi .o/ and welcome to odd question of the week
[15:05] <drab> who wants to play?
[15:06] <drab> 10K for "cups"
[15:07] <hallyn> smoser: interactive
[15:07] <drab> eeer, pam even, not cups
[15:07] <drab> trying to get pam_mount to work
[15:08] <drab> I found a bug in launchpad I can't get around, but it makes pretty much pam_mount useless
[15:08] <drab> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libpam-mount/+bug/117736
[15:08] <drab> sarnold: ^^^ this seems to be a security thing, maybe you have a sense of what could be done?
[15:09] <drab> the talk page for pam_mount on arch has some more info, but their workaround doesn't work
[15:09] <drab> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Talk:Pam_mount
[15:09] <drab> I'm suspecting the way ubuntu and arch integrate with systemd is different, hence the issue
[15:43] <tafa2> what is going on with the repos?
[15:44] <tafa2> all my servers on diff providers in different DC's are super slow fetching apt update and upgrades?
[15:44] <tafa2> even different countries?
[15:45] <Ussat> Just finished a few hrs ago updating my systems, did not notice slowness
[16:22] <zioproto> coreycb: is anyone on this dnsmasq security problem that emerged today ?
[16:22] <zioproto> coreycb: ubuntu cloud archive ships his dnsmasq package that needs to be patched asap
[16:22] <Ussat> I dont use that on any of my systems, but herd all about it
[16:22] <zioproto> coreycb: https://security.googleblog.com/2017/10/behind-masq-yet-more-dns-and-dhcp.html
[16:24] <zioproto> for the dnsmasq in xenial there is already a patch
[16:24] <zioproto> 2.75-1ubuntu0.16.04.3
[16:24] <zioproto> this is from http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security/main amd64 Packages
[16:24] <zioproto> but cloud archive has
[16:24] <zioproto> 2.76-4ubuntu0.1~cloud0
[16:24] <zioproto> and I think this version does not have the patch
[16:24] <zioproto> jamespage: heads up also for you :)
[16:24] <zioproto> because dnsmasq runs on the network node
[16:25] <zioproto> using remote code execution vulnerability any user of the cloud could exploit the network node
[16:30] <jamespage> zioproto, coreycb: ta
[16:34] <jamespage> zioproto: xenial/mitaka, xenial/ocata and xenial/pike updates are in the pipe; need to sort out newton
[19:03] <coreycb> beisner: hello sir, can you promote dnsmasq - 2.76-4ubuntu0.1~cloud1 to newton-proposed? this is for https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3430-1/
[19:04] <coreycb> jamespage: zioproto: fyi ^
[20:20] <zioproto> thanks ! it is already night here in Europe, I guess we will patch tomorrow first thing in the morning
[20:21] <zioproto> at the moment I still see 2.76-4ubuntu0.1~cloud0
[20:21] <zioproto> I am using http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/newton/main amd64 Packages
[20:30] <beisner> hi coreycb - ack re: dnsmasq thx
[20:30] <coreycb> beisner: thanks
