[00:34] <artillerytx> Hey guys for some reason i keep getting this error sent to my e-mail - http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m167e03fe
[00:34] <artillerytx> how can i get rid of it
[01:10] <sanmarcos> is there a tool to redetect hardware ?
[01:20] <joejc> i have a stupid question: if u all have servers why is no one seeding the torrent
[01:23] <sanmarcos> joejc: bandwith isnt free
[01:23] <sanmarcos> most poeple dont seed
[01:24] <joejc> im not asking for 100% but maybe like 1kbps from everyone
[01:25] <joejc> most torrents with no seeders suk is that true for ubuntu server?
[01:30] <joejc> if ubuntu server isnt worth ur time(to respond to me) or ur bandwidth(to seed) why tf are 187 people here?
[01:32] <qman__> the torrents are most effective right around release time
[01:33] <qman__> the rest of the time, the http mirrors are fast, so most people don't seed the torrents
[01:34] <joejc> torrents = 100% guarantee of perfection, i dont like checking md5s
[01:40] <sanmarcos> joejc: yep
[01:40] <sanmarcos> but burning a DVD gave me failed verification don't know why
[01:40] <sanmarcos> stilled used the DVD
[01:40] <joejc> i use usb
[01:40] <joejc> i like perfection
[01:41] <joejc> failure is for the week
[01:42] <joejc> perfection is for the weekend and my time off XD

[05:58] <Sandra_> hi...
[05:58]  * genii makes more coffee
[05:59] <Sandra_> i have problems to run dpkg-reconfigure libpam-ldap ...doesn't do nothing...somebody know about this problem?
[06:00] <ball> I mustn't drink coffee right now.
[06:00] <ball> That would be a recipe for disaster ;-)
[06:22] <twb> Sandra_: you need ldap-auth-config
[06:24] <twb> aptitude install ldap-auth-config ldap-utils
[06:24] <twb> auth-client-config -a -p lac_ldap
[06:25] <Sandra_> thanks, i got that, but i dont know if nss and pam is running...when i try to config with dpkg-reconfigure libpam-ldap, does not show me nothing
[06:27] <Sandra_> how i can know if is working and configurate again?
[06:31] <Sandra_> hi twb, the second command hwt is for?. I got error Error in creating temporary file
[06:33] <twb> Sandra_: are you root?
[06:35] <Sandra_> yes
[06:35]  * genii shivers
[06:48] <twb> I dunno, then
[07:25] <Sandra_> hi, i delete pam and nss, but when i try to install again it look like is installed but does not create the files and forldes pam.d...How I can reinstall completelly pam and nss?
[07:27] <ScottK> purge, don't remove.  If you just remove a package it leaves the config files.  If you remove them by hand, it assumes you don't want them anymore.
[07:28] <Sandra_> tahnks, i will try again with purge and then re-install
[07:35] <artillerytx> someone was telling me that there are some UPC management tools built into ubuntu server already
[07:35] <artillerytx> UPS
[07:35] <artillerytx> whichever
[07:36] <Sandra_> whow...now i got something worst ...i try to access like root or my account and i got PAM critical error
[07:36] <Sandra_> i can not access to the server now, maybe is because i deleted the pam.d folder?
[07:36] <Sandra_> how i can recover it now?
[07:37] <twb> You deleted pam.d?
[07:37] <twb> That's about the dumbest thing you can do
[07:37] <Sandra_> can I recover a folder deleted with rm?
[07:38] <twb> By reinstalling your OS, or by restoring from the backups that you make every morning
[07:38] <twb> artillerytx: nut is the tool typically used to talk to a UPS from unix
[07:38] <artillerytx> twb: oh okay a
[07:39] <Sandra_> i dont have backup from the OS
[07:39] <twb> Sandra_: then you have learnt an important lesson about the value of backups
[07:42] <Sandra_> but i suppose there is some way to recover it or i can access to the sistem in someway, i have problme with the AM password
[07:42] <Sandra_> PAM
[07:50] <mattt> Sandra_: what you trying to do?  why did you remove pam?
[07:52] <Sandra_> because I tried to reconfigure with dpkg and i couln't so i though if i desinstall that I could install and confgure properly :S
[07:59] <Sandra_> sorry i was disconected
[08:07] <Timmy2Tall> waddup bitches
[08:25] <Sandra_> im getting this error pam_start() failed, error 26 ..somebody kow how recover it?
[09:21] <_21h_> hi all
[09:21] <_21h_> i have trouble with dhcp3-server
[09:22] <_21h_> client discovering dhcp server, server offering ip, client requesting and no DHCPACK as reply
[09:27] <twb> You mean DHCPDISCOVER (from client), DHCPRESPONSE (from server), followed by a DHCPREQUEST (from client)?
[09:28] <_21h_> yes
[09:28] <_21h_> there no DHCPACK after DHCPREQUEST
[09:29] <_21h_> client just requesting ip again
[09:30] <_21h_> DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to <IP_ADDRESS> port 67 interval 8
[09:30] <_21h_> DHCPOFFER of <IP_ADDRESS> from <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:30] <_21h_> DHCPREQUEST of <IP_ADDRESS> on eth0 to <IP_ADDRESS> port 67
[09:30] <_21h_> DHCPREQUEST of <IP_ADDRESS> on eth0 to <IP_ADDRESS> port 67
[09:30] <_21h_> and this again again again...
[09:36] <twb> There is not supposed to be a DHCPREQUEST
[09:36] <twb> It indicates that your client is refusing to use the IP allocated to it by DHCPOFFER
[09:39] <_21h_> Client-Ethernet-Address 00:14:2a:aa:25:44 (oui Unknown) [|bootp]
[09:39] <_21h_> 17:33:38.009594 IP (tos 0x10, ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 328) <IP_ADDRESS>.bootps > <IP_ADDRESS>.bootpc: BOOTP/DHCP, Reply, length 300, xid 0x3b5f3bbd, Flags [none]

[09:39] <_21h_>    Server-IP <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:39] <_21h_> i think its reply to client
[09:40] <twb> Actually... the fact that it's DHCPREQUESTING with .99 is weird.
[09:40] <twb> Maybe your lease time is ridiculously small?
[09:41] <_21h_> 7000
[09:41] <twb> seconds?
[09:41] <_21h_> its max-lease-time
[09:42] <_21h_> default-lease-time 600
[09:42] <twb> Well, I'm out of idea
[09:42] <twb> *ideas.
[09:42] <twb> Try hassling the ISC people in their channel?
[09:43] <_21h_> say their channel
[09:44] <twb> I've no idea what it is
[09:44] <_21h_> :)
[10:10] <_21h_> i found problem
[10:10] <_21h_> disk full
[10:13] <ttx> heh
[10:14] <twb> Ha
[10:14] <twb> I hate that
[10:15] <twb> Like one time I had a RHEL box take 30 minutes to boot -- turned out that the actual problem was that /etc/sysconfig/network/thingy-eth0 was owned by a user that didn't exist anymore
[10:16] <twb> And the start scripts tried to use ls programmatically (stupid), which resulted in it being stat(2)ed, which resulted in libnss trying to talk to an LDAP server on the network that wasn't up yet, and taking ages to time out (due to hard binding).
[12:23] <quizme> i am using an image from Canonical, which replaces vi with vim.  How can i change back to classic vi ?
[12:24] <pmatulis> quizme: an 'image'?
[12:24] <Viltapi> try removing vi and vim with apt-get and then install vi again?
[12:25] <quizme> pmatulis nm
[12:25] <quizme> apt-get remove vi vim; apt-get install vi  ?
[12:27] <Viltapi> quizme: yeah that's what i would do
[12:28] <quizme> viltapi: it's not finding vi as package
[12:29] <Viltapi> quizme: what about that vim which you installed?
[12:29] <twb> quizme: vim is the default vi implementation on Ubuntu
[12:29] <twb> quizme: you can install nvi, and make vi a symlink to it using update-alternatives(8)
[12:29] <quizme> i hate vim
[12:29] <twb> You could also install busybox and alias vi to "busybox vi"
[12:29] <quizme> nvi...
[12:30] <quizme> what's busybox ?
[12:30] <twb> quizme: use "apt-cache show busybox" to find out.
[12:31] <Bilge> Imagine using vi to edit documents
[12:31] <twb> I use ed.
[12:31] <Bilge> The year is 2009
[12:31] <quizme> twb: that did it.  .  nvi rules
[12:31] <twb> vi is for wankers with expensive glass ttys
[12:32] <Bilge> Cool story bro
[12:32] <quizme> hehe
[12:33] <quizme> I use vi to edit Microsoft Word documents
[12:33] <quizme> j/k
[12:36] <pmatulis> quizme: vi can do more than vim?  why do you want to remove it?
[12:36] <quizme> pmatulis: i don't like learning new things.
[12:37] <quizme> pmatulis: actually, i was having trouble with indentation with vim.... i'm just not used to it.
[12:37]  * pmatulis thought vim is entirely backwards compatible with vi
[12:40] <quizme> pmatulis: when i pasted text into vim, it added an extra couple of spaces each line.  so my text ended up being indented along a diagonal...
[12:41] <pmatulis> k, i've had that happen too
[12:41] <pmatulis> but i didn't think it was vim-specific
[12:42] <pmatulis> quizme: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Toggle_auto-indenting_for_code_paste
[12:43] <pmatulis> just a simple matter really, thanks for the tip!
[12:44] <quizme> :pmatulis: thanks
[12:46] <stas> hi guys, anyone's using zfs on fuse?
[13:45] <juxta> I'm seeing some weird modprobe lines in my syslog periodically, I'm trying to work out what might be causing them. I've pastebinned them here http://pastebin.com/d36f2ca54. I don't use xen at all, so I'm trying to work out what might be trying to load that module...
[15:36] <refnumzx> i am getting a [ 3660.842831] dansguardian[16216]: segfault at a7 ip b7d5c5eb sp bfec58bc error 4 in libc-2.9.so[b7ce5000+15c000] from dansguardian in jaunty. anyone know how to fix this?
[15:47] <ScottK> refnumzx: What version of dansguardian and what version of libclamav do you have installed?
[15:48] <refnumzx> i have the version that shipped with jaunty. nothing custom.
[15:50] <refnumzx> dansguardian <IP_ADDRESS> and liclamav5? not sure how to check for that
[15:51] <refnumzx> libclamav6.
[15:59] <refnumzx> i'd really like to try and run the 2.10 series. but i can't get it to compile, nor can i find deb for it.
[16:17] <\sh> hmm...which version of drbd is being used 0.7 or 0.8? (regarding the kernel modul)
[16:18] <\sh> (add: jaunty here)
[16:19] <\sh> ok...version 8
[16:29] <refnumzx> so i am trying to compile dansguardian.  libpcre doesn't seem to be available. during configure. and apt-cache search doesn't revewal anything promising. ideas?
[16:34] <mathiaz> ttx: hey
[16:35] <mathiaz> ttx: thanks for reviewing my cim-schema merge
[16:35] <ttx> mathiaz: np
[16:35] <Kira> Has a recent security update disabled dynamic SSH tunnel by default?
[16:35] <mathiaz> ttx: I'd like to do that kind of practive more often.
[16:36] <mathiaz> ttx: I've got another package lined up (sblim-cmpi-base) - can I ask you to review the update too?
[16:39] <Kira> I have a Jaunty server at a data center and I connect to it though SSH, using the -D option so I can use it as a SOCKS5 proxy. It's been working almost flawlessly in the past, but I keep getting "open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed" today, since I applied some updates.
[16:54] <Kira> I'm starting to suspect that the Great Firewall of China has defeated SSH tunneling.
[16:57] <refnumzx> heh. al i need is for dansguardian to work on jaunty. other then that. china can firewall all it wants.
[16:58] <Kira> What's dansguardian?
[16:58] <refnumzx> a web content filter.
[16:59] <Kira> seriously, something is messed up.
[16:59] <refnumzx> i know it keeps segfaulting on me. like crazy
[16:59] <Kira> Has my SSH keys been cracked or what...
[17:00] <refnumzx> what is happening with your connection?
[17:01] <Kira> My SSH session works find as long as I don't make a tunneled http request.
[17:01] <refnumzx> what happens then?
[17:03] <Kira> as soon as my web browser makes an http request, which is supposed to be tunneled through my SSH session, my SSH session becomes unresponsive to keyboard input, until the http request is declared timed-out by the web browser + about one minute of idle time.
[17:05] <Kira> at which point I see messages like "channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed" in my SSH session.
[17:08] <Kira> Which makes me wonder if the connection is being prohibited at my local machine or at the Ubuntu server.
[17:12] <refnumzx> kira: have you changed hostnames or usernames or something. might be a possibiity.
[17:14] <Kira> refnumzx: switching hostname seems to work
[17:15] <Kira> (there are two domain names pointing to my server)
[17:15] <Kira> work... not
[17:15] <refnumzx> ah. well, glad it worked.
[17:16] <Kira> I get SOME responsiveness and tunneled traffic.
[17:16] <Kira> but it's really slow.
[17:17] <refnumzx> i duno about speed. if the connections works, ssh tunneling works.
[17:17] <Kira> Has the Great Firewall gained some deep packet inspection capability so advanced that it can guess tunneled http traffic without cracking the keys?
[17:18] <Kira> (theoretically, it should be nonsense, I know)
[17:26] <refnumzx> uh. no idea.
[17:44] <refnumzx> i saw a bug report about dansguardian, and a release was supposedly fixed.  release. but i can't find the appropriate deb files.
[17:45] <refnumzx> ideas? compiling latest dansguardian is beyond my skil.

[19:40] <KillMeNow> john_doe, i am assuming that your users are local accounts on the box>?
[19:43] <clusty> mm_work, what is that if i dare ask?
[19:48] <mathiaz> zul: could you write up an MIR for puppet?
[19:53] <\sh> mathiaz: puppet in main? sounds google^Wpromising ;)
[19:54] <mathiaz> \sh: puppet is used in a number of places and google is maintaining in debian/ubuntu
[19:54] <mathiaz> \sh: so it seems that it's a good candidate to push in main
[19:55] <mm_work> clusty: it shows bad login attempts.  Like 'last' shows valid logins.
[19:55] <\sh> mathiaz: yepp...I've chosen puppet, too, over cfengine
[19:55] <mm_work> I would just like to see if someone is trying to ssh into my box or not.
[19:55] <mm_work> Im just surprised that its not enabled by default.
[19:55] <clusty> mm_work, ohh ok. why not grep /var/log/auth ?
[19:56] <clusty> you get there all possible logins
[19:56] <mathiaz> \sh: how long have you been using puppet?
[19:57] <mm_work> clusty: thanks, I forgot about that.  And yep, looks like someone is trying a dictionary attack.
[19:57] <\sh> mathiaz: started last year...I'm integrating it now with FAI
[19:57] <mathiaz> \sh: isn't there an overlap between FAI and puppet?
[19:57] <clusty> mm_work, i used blacklist for that
[19:57] <clusty> mm_work, i think :D
[19:58] <clusty> mm_work, the ipchains one seemd very complicated. I used the one that write stuff in hosts/deny
[19:58] <clusty> hosts.deny
[19:58] <clusty> bad news is that i dont think you can kill apache access for example (stuff has to support tcp-wrappers)
[19:59] <\sh> mathiaz: not in the general meaning of configuration management...FAI has a softupdate task, but this is not what you really want when you have different network areas for deployment and production (like native vlan on a trunk for deployment, and your production vlans can't reach your deployment vlan)..you would need a second FAI instance..and there is puppet or cfengine much better...FAI e.g. uses cfengine, too, softupdate is something special for
[20:00] <mathiaz> \sh: forgive the simple question, but what is the role of FAI in all that then?
[20:00] <clusty> mathiaz, my man :D. I was looking into FAI just now :D
[20:01] <\sh> mathiaz: fully automatic deployment...
[20:01] <clusty> mathiaz, works ok for ubuntu server?
[20:01] <mathiaz> \sh: right - so FAI is used up to the point where the puppet client can be run?
[20:01] <mathiaz> \sh: IOW FAI provides the same functionilities as cobbler?
[20:01] <\sh> mathiaz: that's the idea
[20:02] <\sh> mathiaz: dunno what cobbler is...but FAI is more solaris jumpstart...much faster d-i preseed or kickstart/autoyast
[20:03] <mathiaz> \sh: faster *than* d-i preseed?
[20:03] <mathiaz> \sh: ok - cobbler is something similar than FAI - https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/
[20:04] <\sh> mathiaz: yes...I d-i preseed jaunty, and it took on a normal server 10 minutes...the same install with fai 3 mins
[20:04] <\sh> (jaunty server)
[20:04] <mathiaz> \sh: does FAI skip the installer?
[20:04] <mathiaz> \sh: and uses debootstrap directly?
[20:05] <\sh> mathiaz: yes...it untars a debootstrap directly on $target partitions (which os partitioned before that)
[20:05] <\sh> mathiaz: and it works with more then debian alike OS...
[20:05] <\sh> mathiaz: SLES 9 -> via autoyast deployed: 30 mins...with FAI: 10 mins (including YUM package manager and YUM repos)
[20:05] <mathiaz> \sh: does FAI provide the same step than the installer?
[20:07] <\sh> mathiaz: means? it boots a fully functional linux..starts a perl process, which runs some tasks, where you can hook in
[20:07] <\sh> mathiaz: it's more a deployment framework...ever seen empirum for windows installations?
[20:08] <mathiaz> \sh: the installer takes care of setting a lot of different part of the system (language, boot, etc..)
[20:08] <mathiaz> \sh: I wonder if FAI covers all of the quirks that the installer support
[20:08] <\sh> mathiaz: ah in that meaning...no that you do for yourself...like writing the preseed file...but more easier or more complex then preseed files...
[20:09] <mathiaz> \sh: and none of the installer component are called.
[20:09] <mathiaz> \sh: does FAI take care of PXE/dhcp, etc...?
[20:09] <\sh> mathiaz: none..well I use some debconf magic to get some e.g. non-interactive sun-java* license agreement, but that's only defining a file with the debconf preseeds for the package and a class file for the host
[20:10] <\sh> mathiaz: you install your own dhcp and your own tftp...and no, it doesn't deal with the management, that's what I'm writing now for FAI with django
[20:10] <\sh> http://www.sourcecode.de/content/fai-djangofied
[20:10] <mathiaz> \sh: ok - you may wanna have a look at cobbler - it does cover that part as well
[20:11] <mathiaz> \sh: cobbler can "import" an release and configure pxe/tftp/dhcp automatically
[20:11] <mathiaz> \sh: and then you add host to it and it will bootstrap the installation with the right files.
[20:12] <mathiaz> \sh: I'm not sure if cobbler has a web interface though
[20:12] <\sh> mathiaz: well...can you add your asset management as cmdb to it?
[20:12] <RoAkSoAx> mathiaz, it does have a web interface
[20:12] <RoAkSoAx> though I don't know its complete functionality
[20:12] <\sh> or better to say: your cmdb is the only base of knowledge ... and you need to tell your deployment tool to use this data
[20:12] <\sh> and that's easy to accomplish with FAI, as a framework for it...
[20:13] <mathiaz> \sh: right - it depends which cmdb you're using
[20:13] <mathiaz> \sh: I don't know how pluggable cobbler is
[20:13] <\sh> mathiaz: HP openviews e.g. or Idoit, or CAs
[20:14] <\sh> mathiaz: right:) I couldn't do it with RHN or kickstart or d-i preseed or autoyast :) that's why I choose FAI, which is more debian
[20:15] <\sh> mathiaz: e.g. the city of munich uses FAI extensively for their school it infrastructure deployment :) gonicus implemented a web ui for it (for this special case, it's named gosa) and they do OS deployment all over their area..
[20:16] <genii> I used to hate debian-installer preseed because of lack in documentation. But I don't mind it so much now.
[20:16] <mathiaz> \sh: right - I saw the FAI module when I looked at gosa
[20:17] <mathiaz> \sh: my main issue with gosa is that the ACL are stored in the objects rather than using the native openldap ACL
[20:17] <\sh> mathiaz: lycos had all their servers deployed with it...many cluster guys are doing it..just check out http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/q-answers.html ...
[20:18] <\sh> mathiaz: yes..but this is special to gosa...nothing to do with FAI :) but you are free to do what you want with it:) you can plug it into any infrastructure...my hobby fai project is to install windows ;)
[20:18] <\sh> just like empirum is doing it or altiris
[20:19] <mathiaz> \sh: right - I was disgressing from the topic of FAI above ;)
[20:19] <mathiaz> \sh: it has nothing to do with FAI

[21:05] <T-Hawk> hey ppl... recently amavis started sending me updates every 3 hours like this: bayes: synced databases from journal in 0 seconds: 298 unique entries (717 total entries)
[21:05] <T-Hawk> i've looked in the cron job, and in amavisd-new-cronjob and it should pipe stdout to /dev/null, anybody know how i can get rid of these messages?
[21:05] <T-Hawk> i don't get any output if i run the cronjob by hand either, it's only when cron is running it
[23:06] <Xlrr8> Hey Guys,  I have a question... I just came from #ubuntu and a really helpful guy there suggested that i ask my question here.  I've got a dell gx620 64bit box with 8gb of ram.  Its running ubuntu 9.04 64bit.  Can someone tell me why it's only addressing 3.4 gb of ram according to gnome system monitor and also according to /proc/meminfo ? I found a thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1061673 however, it doesn't look like t
[23:20] <infinity> Xlrr8: Looks like that thread describes your problem exactly.
[23:20] <infinity> Xlrr8: dmesg | grep MTRR
[23:21] <Xlrr8> Yes i agree.   The gentelman from #ubuntu suggested that i pipe out dmesg and i do in fact have this line in there :
[23:21] <Xlrr8> [    0.000000] WARNING: BIOS bug: CPU MTRRs don't cover all of memory, losing 4096MB of RAM.
[23:22] <infinity> Xlrr8: Right, well.  Not much I can say about that except "complain to Dell". :/
[23:22] <Xlrr8> I guess i'm wondering if this is a bug ?  Or a hardware limitation that the bios is recognizing the ram, but not passing it along to ubuntu ?  Is that even a possibility ?
[23:22] <infinity> It's a hardware/BIOS bug.
[23:23] <Xlrr8> even though the bios recognizes all 8gb ?
[23:24] <infinity> Yes.  It's not actually setting it all up.
[23:26] <Xlrr8> Ok, i was afraid of that. So i removed 4gb and left in 4gb, The system still only addressed 3.4.  Would it be safe to say that this "bios bug" is simply ignoring anything over 3.4gb ram ?
[23:26] <infinity> Found a few other people with GS620s with the same issue.  *shrug*
[23:26] <infinity> And yeah, that would be a safe assumption.
[23:26] <Xlrr8> bummer ! :(
[23:26] <Xlrr8> Thanks for your help/confirmation ! :)

[05:01] <OvenWerks> Iamthehuman12: with studio controls, when jack is running, we remove pulses ability to see other devices. So if jack is running pulse will see no other device besides jack. The reason for this is that I have found that if pulse can see both jack and other devices as well, there will be xruns because pulse will sync to the device rather than jack.

[11:58] <JadenKorn> Hello everyone.
[11:59] <JadenKorn> I've been trying out the new Ubuntu in the Cloud - 55 minutes trial service, and after almost 30 minutes, I was still unable to properly log in via ssh.
[12:00] <JadenKorn> Every time whenever I want to login, it ends the connection with a "Permission denied (publickey)" message on ssh.
[13:13] <Hussain> hello fine people
[13:13] <Hussain> i am using XCP
[13:13] <Hussain> does anyone know about it
[13:13] <Hussain> as i have some issues
[13:21] <kim0> Hussain: heh .. is that Xen Cloud ?
[13:22] <Hussain> yes
[13:22] <kim0> I used to know about it yes
[13:22] <kim0> in a previous life, I've written a python workflow to automate deployment with it
[13:22] <kim0> however .. how does that relate to ubuntu
[13:23] <Hussain> that doesnt but still i thought that the issue coklud be fixed from here
[13:23] <Hussain> *could
[13:24] <Hussain> i am having issues of connecting the vm's console from the web browser
[13:24] <kim0> Hussain: are you getting the web UI to begin with ?
[13:25] <Hussain> yup im using CGI perl for that
[13:25] <kim0> ?!
[13:26] <kim0> isn't it a browser
[13:26] <Hussain> yes it is
[13:26] <Hussain> the scripting is done using perl
[13:26] <kim0> You're scripting it
[13:26] <Hussain> and CGI for frontend
[13:26] <Hussain> yes
[13:27] <Hussain> that's what i said
[13:27] <Hussain> i wanna access the vm's console from the browser
[13:27] <kim0> from the browser doesn't mean from a script to me

[13:28] <Hussain> is it possible
[13:28] <Hussain> ?
[13:28] <kim0> well .. I have to say that this really shouldn't be discussed in this channel .. perhaps ask in #xen

[13:29] <Hussain> i am having problems installing the socat on xcp
[13:30] <Hussain> the XenAPI module is working fine
[13:30] <kim0> Hussain: The best place to ask seems to be #xen-api
[13:30] <kim0> from http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XCP_Overview
[13:30] <Hussain> okay sure
[13:31] <kim0> cool .. good luck :)

[18:02] <IdleOne> err I meant kim0 :)
[21:39] <ablert> is anyone aware of a public PPA or other repo that contains a more up to date version of the ec2 api tools?

[21:53] <smoser> err... lucid ? maverick ?
[21:56] <smoser> ablert, the maverick version of ec2-api-tools should be very up to date. there is a source rebuild in my ppa.

[10:05] <LimCore> hi
[10:05] <LimCore> how we can get https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/309724 moving?
[10:05] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 309724 in pulseaudio "no sound after fast switching between logged in users" [Low,Confirmed]
[10:33] <LimCore> anyone alive?
[11:03] <Hobbsee> no, everyone's dead.
[11:04] <Hobbsee> looks like you'll need to argue that one with pulseaudio upstream
[11:08] <LimCore> yeah I'm doing that.  System wide should fix that.  But it is said to not work in Ubuntu?  I will check hopefully in free time.
[12:24] <Laibsch> Can somebody point out some valid Launchpad script examples?  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugHelper/Dev/python-launchpad-bugs/Examples seems to be outdated at least for the easy to understand example "Mass closing"
[12:24] <Laibsch> I don't always want to use the web interface
[12:24] <Laibsch> Anybody have some easy launchpadlib examples?
[15:28] <snappca> I'm a long time kubuntu user but I've never reported a bug before.  I have a brand new thinkpad t400s that has a lot of issues (mostly with keyboard functions but also docking/undocking).  After reading through the ubuntu webpages related to reporting bugs, I'm still not sure how best to proceed.  I was intending to start with some bugs related to keyboard functions not working.  Should I enter those separately via the LaunchPad interface?  Any help
[15:28] <snappca>  started would be appreciated.  I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask, I honestly haven't used IRC since the 90's.
[15:36] <bac> snappca: yes, please enter your bugs in launchpad separately.  do a search first, to make sure they have not already been reported.
[15:41] <snappca> bac: ok, thanks....I was concerned that reporting hardware specific bugs via the launchpad web interface was not the appropriate way.
[15:43] <snappca> bac:  should I be using a different IRC channel or bug interface since I use Kubuntu?  Or does it matter since these are hardware related bugs and Kubuntu is simply a variant of Ubuntu?
[15:59] <hggdh> snappca, there are kubuntu-specific channels; let me search
[16:00] <snappca> hggd: I blindly typed in #kubuntu-bugs and entered into a channel, but there were only a handful of people in there.  Also I was thinking hardware bugs were ok to talk about in the main #ubuntu-bugs channel
[16:01] <hggdh> snappca, you can go to #kubuntu-bugs for bug information on kubuntu (here we deal mostly with Gnome), and #kubuntu for general help
[16:01] <snappca> hggdh: ok, thanks for pointing me in the right direction
[16:01] <hggdh> snappca, if your hardware is not working with *ubuntu, then there is a bug somewhere, so it is OK to open one
[16:02] <hggdh> snappca, also: #ubuntu-bugs and #kubuntu-bugs usually deal with *triaging* of bug, not with general support
[16:04] <snappca> hggdh: ok, I'll make sure not to clutter the channel with more questions, I appreciate the help though.  Mainly I just didn't want to be cluttering up the ubuntu bug tracker with several separate keyboard function related issues if I was actually supposed to report those via a forum first.  I'm sure once I see how the bug reporting mechanism goes I'll be more comfortable with it.  I'm currently adding my first bug and it is easier than I thought
[16:09] <hggdh> snappca, you did not clutter the channel. You *did* have a question that -- to my understanding -- fully applies here. Also -- please keep in mind a basic rule for bugs: one issue per bug, one bug per issue. You will not be cluttering Launchpad at all
[16:10] <hggdh> snappca, additionally: if you have doubts on how to open the bugs, please do ask (on either of #(k)ubuntu-bugs): we are here to help on this.
[16:10] <hggdh> and, oh, yes, thank you for helping making (k)ubuntu better :-)
[16:11] <snappca> hggdh: glad to see I wasn't off base.  now I'm off to report several minor issues, thanks again for answering my questions
[16:11] <hggdh> welcome
[16:24] <LimCore> bdmurray: system wide pulse audio solves my problem

[20:30] <aguynamedryan> Hello.  cpqarrayd is crashing and throwing up a stacktrace.   I've never reported a bug before, but I notice there is already a ticket (#98820) that looks to be similar to the crash I'm seeing.  I'm running 9.04 server edition and I can't seem to find ubuntu-bug to help me capture error information.  I also can't seem to find anything in my log files that would help diagnose the problem.  I've reviewed the wiki pages ab
[20:40] <aguynamedryan> Hello.  Is anyone around?
[21:02] <mrooney> aguynamedryan: hi!
[21:03] <aguynamedryan> Hello!
[21:04] <aguynamedryan> I figured out I need to install apport to get ubuntu-bug
[21:04] <mrooney> ah okay
[21:04] <aguynamedryan> That was kinda noobish of me, but the wiki pages seem to assume that you know what apport is and that its already installed
[21:06] <aguynamedryan> I was hoping cpqarrayd would put a crash file in /var/crash, but there isn't anything there
[21:07] <aguynamedryan> And the stacktrace that I get on my screen doesn't show me what function cpqarrayd is calling to cause the crash
[21:08] <aguynamedryan> I guess the only real question I have is: should I post a message to ticket 98820, even though I have a different version of cpqarrayd, or should I submit a new ticket?
[21:16] <mrooney> let's see, bug 98820

[21:17] <aguynamedryan> Wow!  Fancy
[21:17] <mrooney> aguynamedryan: so what I would recommend since that bug is so old, is file a new one, and add a comment in the old one saying you weren't sure if it was the same so you filed a new bug and link to it
[21:18] <aguynamedryan> Awesome.  Thanks!
[21:23]  * mrooney waves to BUGabundo
[21:23] <BUGabundo> hey mrooney
[21:58] <hggdh> aguynamedryan, what type of failure are you getting? sigsegv, sigabrt, etc?
[21:58] <aguynamedryan> Looks like a sigabrt
[21:59] <aguynamedryan> I'm just now following the instructions under:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace
[21:59] <aguynamedryan> Before I submit a ticket
[21:59] <hggdh> ah. Please be aware that apport does *not* trap SIGABRTs
[21:59] <micahg> hggdh: that's good to know :)
[21:59] <aguynamedryan> hggdh: Thanks for the confirmation about that.  I was wondering why I was just getting package information when I used ubuntu-bug
[22:00] <hggdh> so... you would probably need to run cpqarrayd manually under GDB, and do the stack trace yourself (thread apply all bt full)
[22:00] <hggdh> micahg, yes... I do not know why it was disabled... sigabrts usually are set by libc on malloc issues
[22:01] <hggdh> and they *still* are (usually) an indication of memory management issues in the appl
[22:01] <hggdh> aguynamedryan, you are welcome, just did not want you to find the hard way ;-)
[22:02] <aguynamedryan> Thanks!
[22:02] <micahg> hggdh: can that be document on the apport wiki page if it isn't already?
[22:02] <micahg> *documented
[22:02] <hggdh> micahg, it should be there, if it is not, then certainly!
[22:09] <micahg> hggdh: doesn't seem to be on there
[22:14] <hggdh> hum
[22:15] <aguynamedryan> Yay!  My first bug report: bug 409060

[22:16] <aguynamedryan> I love that feature!  Thanks ubot4!
[22:19] <hggdh> micahg, do you have a suggestion of where to put it? Right now I am considering adding it at the end of "How to enable apport"
[22:20] <BUGabundo> aguynamedryan: LOL
[22:20] <BUGabundo> I've forgot what my was even about
[22:21] <BUGabundo> or what release
[22:21] <BUGabundo> 6.06 or 6.10
[22:21] <micahg> I think actually it might be better to add another section of what apport will NOT do ;)
[22:21] <BUGabundo> not sure
[22:21] <BUGabundo> been on ubuntu since 5.10
[22:21] <aguynamedryan> Nice!
[22:22] <aguynamedryan> I played around with it back then, but my company ended up going in a different direction for a while.  Now we're exploring our Linux options and I made sure we put Ubuntu on this list
[22:26] <hggdh> micahg, added in
[22:27] <hggdh> (sort of small, I know, but let's see what happens)
[22:28] <micahg> ok
[22:29] <hggdh> aguynamedryan, thanks :-) and also thank you for reporting the bug (which, hopefully, someone with knowledge of the programme will look at, eventually)
[22:31] <aguynamedryan> hggdh: Thanks!  I'm poking around the source right now trying to see if I can figure out what's dying...I'm so happy to be back in FOSS land!
[22:32] <hggdh> way to go, way to go!
[22:32] <aguynamedryan> hggdh: I'm not making any promises ;-)
[22:33] <hggdh> aguynamedryan, we are not asking for promises. The simple fact that you got back to FOSS, and is looking at Ubuntu (and, even in a small way, helping) is already good enough
[22:34] <aguynamedryan> hggdh: It's my pleasure!
[22:34]  * hggdh gratefully bows
[22:35]  * BUGabundo now knows why hggdh complains of his back
