| 13:18 | tmc | has anyone here done this before? |
| 13:18 | adamg | how do you mean disable it |
| 13:19 | tmc | well |
| 13:19 | tmc | im actually trying to do this howto |
| 13:20 | tmc | http://www.qmailrocks.org/remove_db.htm |
| 13:20 | tmc | basicly stop the service, rename a couple things |
| 13:20 | tmc | i did everything on there except the postfix or w/e, and i rebooted, and exim is still running on port 25 |
| 13:20 | tmc | so now |
| 13:21 | tmc | im trying to do that howto page over, and the /etc/init.d/exim is acting funny |
| 13:21 | tmc | it doesnt give me the syntax when i run it with nothing |
| 13:21 | tmc | 3nter:/etc/init.d# ./bind |
| 13:21 | tmc | Usage: /etc/init.d/bind {start|stop|reload|restart|force-reload} |
| 13:21 | tmc | 3nter:/etc/init.d# ./exim |
| 13:21 | tmc | 3nter:/etc/init.d# |
| 13:21 | tmc | see what i amena |
| 13:21 | tmc | err mean |
| 13:22 | tmc | any ideas? |
| 13:22 | tmc | please? |
| 13:23 | adamg | update-rc.d exim remove |
| 13:23 | adamg | will stop it running at boot |
| 13:30 | tmc | update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/exim exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force) |

| 15:06 | @caker | yup |
| 15:08 | dataw0lf | Hey, couple my friends told me you were pondering putting Ubuntu on Linode, and I'm pretty active in the Ubuntu community, thought I'd come in here and throw my $.02 in. |
| 15:08 | --- | ---> Shaun [~ndci@ip68-111-70-41.oc.oc.cox.net] has joined #linode |
| 15:08 | @caker | dataw0lf: yeah, I'm going to provide one fairly soon. I might be getting to it this weekend, actually |
| 15:09 | dataw0lf | caker: awesome, did you have any particular questions about the distro ? |
| 15:10 | @caker | dataw0lf: not really. Obviously this will be a non-X install. I imagine that won't be that much of a problem, but I haven't tried Ubuntu yet (the disc I burnt to test it out was hosed) |
| 15:10 | --- | <<-- david [~dcoulson@muffin.davidcoulson.net] has quit (Ping timeout: 480 seconds) |
| 15:11 | dataw0lf | caker: Nah, it shouldn't be a problem, although Ubuntu does have a focus toward Gnome development and desktop usage. |
| 15:11 | @caker | dataw0lf: is it possible to rootstrap an Ubuntu install? |
| 15:11 | dataw0lf | caker: Hm, let me see if the deb package is in the repos. |
| 15:11 | @caker | dataw0lf: if I could run the install process under UML, it would be easier, too. But my usual method of installing onto a physical box and coping it off isn't that much of a problem |
| 15:12 | dataw0lf | caker: Yeah, it supports rootstrapping. |
| 15:12 | @caker | dataw0lf: joy :) |
| 15:12 | dataw0lf | caker: it's kind of in the 'Ubuntu' methodology, as well. Ubuntu doesn't have a root user by default. |
| 15:13 | @caker | dataw0lf: so I've heard. That will conflict with how my distro wizard works (basically, makes a copy of a template install, and then changes the root user's password for the user to log into for first access) ... |
| 15:14 | adamg | could you not create a root user? |
| 15:14 | dataw0lf | caker: Well, it's all based around a sudo methodology, Ubuntu uses the Debian installer, so when you set the 'root' password during the install, it is actually just a user with sudo privileges. |
| 15:14 | @caker | adamg: yeah, but Ubuntu is a sudo only distro (first of its kind, I believe) |
| 15:15 | adamg | well a user called root then that is just a regular user with sudo privs |
| 15:15 | @caker | dataw0lf: the distro wizard modifies the root entry in /etc/[passwd|shadow] directly |
| 15:16 | @caker | adamg: I thought of that, but that would be very confusing |
| 15:16 | dataw0lf | caker: ah, that could be a problem, unless your 'first' user was a named root. |
| 15:16 | | * caker yells out HACK |
| 15:16 | dataw0lf | It's easy enough to create a root account, obviously. (passwd root should do it) |
| 15:16 | @caker | yeah |
| 15:16 | dataw0lf | Honestly, I've done so myself. |
| 15:16 | adamg | or you would have to modify your deploy routine to set the password for a user other than root |
| 15:16 | @caker | ok. I'll just have to break users out of the "do everything as root" habit with Ubuntu |
| 15:17 | adamg | a habit I need to get out of |
| 15:17 | dataw0lf | heh, I'll admit prefixing everything with sudo is pretty tedious. |
| 15:17 | tierra|h_ | well, if the user chooses Ubuntu, they do so with that knowledge |
| 15:17 | --- | User: *** tierra|h_ is now known as tierra|h |
| 15:18 | tierra|h | if that's what Ubuntu is aiming for anyway |
| 15:21 | dataw0lf | Yeah, but all the hardcore Ubuntu guys I know just add a root account anyway. |
| 15:23 | dataw0lf | my main attraction to Ubuntu was the Python focus, honestly. |
| 15:24 | dataw0lf | Plus they (Canonical) offers 'bounties' for Python scripts. |
| 15:25 | adamg | I think will stick to debian/gentoo |
| 15:26 | dataw0lf | For server usage I still use Debian (and FreeBSD). |
| 15:29 | adamg | I think I will be putting debian on everything I set-up from now on |
| 15:30 | @caker | Ubuntu's advantage is a much more frequent release schedule, and I imagine much more recent packages |
| 15:30 | adamg | true, debian stable is getting rather outdated |
| 15:31 | dataw0lf | Yeah, Ubuntu has some very good packages as far as desktop use is concerned. |
| 15:31 | dataw0lf | As well as great support for Apache 2. |
| 15:31 | dataw0lf | But, like, I don't think they have the php5 as a package, with some other things some people think is key. |
| 15:32 | adamg | the only thing that puts me off debian, 2.6 and uml is the tls issue |
| 15:34 | tierra|h | that's an issue with every distro isn't it? it's just debian is trying to move into just using tls? |
| 15:34 | @caker | Woody is so old, it doesnt' have an NPTL enabled libc |
| 15:35 | tierra|h | err, yeah, meant nptl |
| 15:35 | dataw0lf | heh, yeah, I noticed that, caker. |
| 15:35 | adamg | is the same problem in testing? |
| 15:35 | dataw0lf | Nah. |
| 15:35 | @caker | adamg: testing and unstable DO have NPTL enabled libcs |
| 15:36 | @caker | Out of all the distros, .deb based ones have the divert advantage, and handle it the best way, IMO |
| 15:37 | adamg | at least I can use testing and 2.6 then |
| 15:37 | @caker | right |
| 15:37 | dataw0lf | caker: I agree. |
| 15:37 | dataw0lf | apt-get/dpkg combo is pretty win. |
| 15:37 | @caker | Woody needs other things to work well under 2.6 (back-ports psutils, for example) |
| 15:38 | @caker | Woody's top gets pretty freaked out under 2.6 |

| 15:38 | adamg | cool means I can look at using 2.6 with debian for the new project, since it works better with some of the apps I will be running |
| 15:38 | @caker | ugh .. only 22% through the first reject file for cfq-ts and 2.6.10 |
| 15:39 | adamg | ouch |
| 15:39 | @caker | it's the biggest of the bunch, though |
| 15:39 | adamg | still not good |
| 15:41 | adamg | how is cfq looking on the hosts which have been restarted recently |
| 15:42 | @caker | Good, although I expect this version to perform waaaay better. cfq-ts on those hosts was based on cfq-ts v7 or so. This one is v21 |

| 17:14 | rafx | need help...all the config dialogs (curses) have funky looking characters for borders rather than the straight lines. i think these chars are whats causing screen to lockup. this only happens on the linode upgraded to sarge, and i'm using same locale on all my boxes (en_US) |
| 17:15 | @caker | rafx: which kernel? |
| 17:15 | rafx | latest-2.4, about to reboot to 2.6 to try it out too |
| 17:16 | @caker | rafx: yeah, since 2.6.9-bb4, UML has a re-written console codebase |
| 17:16 | rafx | it basically causes woody->sarge upgrades to freeze now |
| 17:16 | mikegrb | what does echo $TERM say? |
| 17:16 | rafx | it says linux |
| 17:16 | @caker | rafx: does this happen over ssh, Lish, or just in screen? |
| 17:16 | rafx | Lish |
| 17:16 | rafx | lemme check ssh... |
| 17:17 | mikegrb | you might try "export TERM=screen" and see if that hels in lish |
| 17:18 | mikegrb | especially if it works okay via ssh |
| 17:18 | rafx | aha! it only happens in Lish, ssh is fine |
| 17:18 | rafx | i was going insane over this problem today |
| 17:19 | mikegrb | try the export TERM=screen |
| 17:19 | rafx | ok |
| 17:20 | @caker | I think the console-rewrite fixes that |
| 17:20 | rafx | mikegrb: yep, that fixes it. export TERM=screen works |
| 17:22 | mikegrb | :D |

| 18:15 | @caker | I've had a few requests for a Lish feature to inject some io tokens, with perhaps a restriction per hour, or something... Sounds like a good idea |

| 18:19 | adamg | hopefully cfq will allow you to losen up the io limiter |
| 18:20 | @caker | either way, the deficiencies in the token-limiter will be there until the io-watchdog stuff comes along |
| 18:20 | @caker | oh .. that reminds me. I need to port the limiter to 2.6.11. Lots of stuff moved around in UML since 2.6.10 :/ |

| 18:39 | @caker | yeah, lemme do a query and see if anyone is using it :) |

| 18:40 | adamg | anyone actually set it in a config profile? |
| 18:40 | @caker | make that three, out of active accounts |
| 18:40 | fo0bar | that question came up as I noticed yum updating lvm... I'm not sure why someone would really desire lvm on a uml instance |
| 18:40 | fo0bar | but it would require initrd functionality |
| 18:41 | @caker | fo0bar: well, esp since someone can resize |
| 18:41 | fo0bar | exactly |
| 18:41 | @caker | fo0bar: the same question came re: raid support in the Linode kernels |
| 18:41 | fo0bar | hehehehe |
| 18:41 | @caker | fo0bar: my answer was that stuff might be useful for staging/testing environments |
| 18:41 | fo0bar | "I want to do RAID1 over 2 images that reside in the same directory on the host" |
| 18:42 | @caker | Yup |
| 18:42 | adamg | i remember someone asking that, did seem rather pointless |
| 18:42 | @caker | But, for example, the bridging support in the Linode kernels I use -- I have a Linode Image that I do host development in |
| 18:44 | fo0bar | ooo, just had a legitimate though |
| 18:44 | fo0bar | thought |
| 18:45 | adamg | all your other thoughts illeagal then |
| 18:45 | @caker | bastard thoughts |
| 18:45 | fo0bar | I don't trust caker, so I want to have my root partition be encrypted, and use 2.6's dmcrypt, but that would require an initrd which would ask for my password on console before it accessed the encrypted root partition |
| 18:47 | adamg | heh |
| 18:47 | @caker | I sometimes have a hard time realizing why an initrd would be needed for that. Couldn't that be accomplished with a normal image with the needed binaries? |
| 18:47 | @caker | It's been a long while since I've done initrd stuff |

| 18:50 | fo0bar | I can't remember the specifics, but say you have an encrypted filesystem on /dev/ubda... you do something like "be_paranoid /dev/ubda /dev/i_am_paranoid" -- that util asks for a decryption key, then remains in memory to access /dev/ubda on a block level, and decrypt on the fly to /dev/i_am_paranoid |
| 18:50 | fo0bar | then you mount /dev/i_am_paranoid like a normal device |
| 18:51 | fo0bar | the problem comes when you have a root filesystem, you must do all this in an initrd, then pivot_root so that new filesystem becomes / |
| 18:51 | @caker | ok, so it saves you a ubd device slot |
| 18:52 | fo0bar | no, you ubd partition is encrypted at a block level, and that utility just decrypts/encrypts on the fly, and maps to a virtual device |
| 18:53 | @caker | Just like apache and certs if you don't save your keys |
| 18:53 | @caker | Which would be a PITA for reboots |
| 18:53 | adamg | or if you just dont use a key |
| 18:55 | fo0bar | caker: yeah, well, you have to input something... because you can't save your key/passphrase (if all of your paritions are encrypted, where are you going to put it? cmdline? that would defeat the purpose because caker is evil and can read your cmdline) |
| 18:56 | fo0bar | but yeah, you would have to enter the passphrase at each boot |
| 18:56 | fo0bar | which would be impractical here |
| 18:56 | @caker | but I/evil-BOFH could capture your phrase, too |
| 18:56 | fo0bar | true |

| 18:57 | fo0bar | dmcrypt is more suited for protecting laptops, where you are right in front of the computer when it is powering on |
| 18:57 | @caker | I'd say placing them into a config profile would be a good method, but if the host/Linode was compromised you might as well have unencrypted images |
| 18:57 | fo0bar | and if the laptop is stolen, all they have is a set of encrypted partitions |
| 19:00 | fo0bar | sorry, I've been saying dmcrypt, when I mean dm-crypt |
| 19:00 | fo0bar | no wonder google wasn't giving much |

| 19:00 | fo0bar | http://gentoo-wiki.com/SECURITY_Encrypting_Root_Filesystem_with_DM-Crypt <-- here's how to do it with gentoo |
| 19:00 | fo0bar | which I mean to do on my laptop one day |
| 19:03 | @caker | linbot: weather 19019 |
| 19:03 | @linbot | caker: The current temperature in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is 21°F (6:54 PM EST on January 22, 2005). Conditions: Light Snow Showers Mist. Humidity: 88%. Dew Point: 18°F. Pressure: 29.61 in (1003 hPa). Visibility: 2.5 miles (4.0 kilometers). UV: 0 out of 12 |
| 19:04 | @caker | Snow accumulating 8 to 12 inches. ugh |
| 19:04 | @caker | First time they've closed Philly airport in 9 years, or something |
| 19:05 | alnr | its really sticking here in manhattan |
| 19:05 | adamg | hopefully they will be able to clear it by monday |
| 19:06 | adamg | oh well thats the purchase frame work done, just got the service specific code to do |
| 19:06 | fo0bar | caker: how's 2.6 client support? I noticed it says [experimental] and was thinking of switching my main one over to 2.6 |
| 19:07 | @caker | fo0bar: The experimental label was there to curb /lib/tls tickets, then it was there for a good reason -- 2.6 crashed often due to the bug that was fixed last week |
| 19:07 | @caker | fo0bar: so, I'd recommend it more now than ever. |
| 19:08 | fo0bar | "caker's seal of approval!" |
| 19:08 | fo0bar | thanks :) |
| 19:08 | adamg | first time I used 2.6 when caker first put it out, it scrwed my gentoo images |
| 19:08 | @caker | adamg: I still don't see how that's possible, but ... |
| 19:08 | adamg | neither do i |
| 19:08 | @caker | that was like the first 2.6-um kernel, iirc |
| 19:09 | adamg | yep |
| 19:09 | adamg | i think it was the first 2.6 host as well as it required a host move iirc |
| 19:10 | @caker | I need to suck everything into cvs or the like |
| 19:10 | adamg | yeah I started using svn |
| 19:11 | adamg | has it's uses |
| 19:11 | @caker | a lot of these rejects I'm fixing seem like patch(1) should have been able to find it |
| 19:12 | @caker | I made it as fuzzy as it would go .. I'm doing more manually than I should have to |
| 19:24 | @caker | ooo |
| 19:24 | @caker | -l -- ignore whitespace |
| 19:25 | @caker | nice, that did it -- only a few small rejects to fix now |
| 19:26 | adamg | cool |
| 19:26 | adamg | all those people trying to tidy code by using spaces and tabs |
| 19:38 | @caker | more like the mailing list ate the tabs |
| 19:56 | dataw0lf | any of you guys built Gentoo on Sparc architecture ? |
| 19:58 | dataw0lf | I just ordered a pallet of 1/E+ Ultra workstations, heh, I was thinking of putting Gentoo on em and clustering them. |
| 20:00 | @caker | "a pallet" :) |
| 20:00 | fo0bar | yeah, I've installed gentoo on a U1 before... it's slow, but works fine |
| 20:01 | dataw0lf | caker: yeah, 15 of the buggers :)) |
| 20:01 | dataw0lf | fo0bar: danke. |
| 20:01 | @caker | Previous value when new: $200k, current value: $500 bucks |
| 20:01 | @caker | (including shipping) |
| 20:01 | dataw0lf | hehe, yeah, bout right. |
| 20:02 | dataw0lf | I'm going to wait til the xbox drops a little more in price, then I want to cluster like 5 of those for a media center. hehe. |
| 20:05 | @caker | linbot: 2.6-skas? |
| 20:05 | @linbot | http://uml.tuxrocks.com/Patches/host-skas3-2.6.10-v7.patch |
| 20:06 | @caker | linbot: no, 2.6-skas is <reply>http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade/patches/skas3-2.6/host-skas3-2.6.10-v7.patch |
| 20:06 | @linbot | 10-4, caker. |
| 20:06 | fo0bar | we have one server running RHL6.1 left that has not yet been migrated... I assumed it was like a 300mhz machine, 32-64MB ram... something you would typically have at the time of RHL6.1... |
| 20:07 | fo0bar | but no, it's a dual-proc P2 700mhz, 1GB ram |
| 20:07 | dataw0lf | heh. |
| 20:07 | @caker | fo0bar: that's begging to be moved into an UML |
| 20:07 | @caker | oh |
| 20:07 | dataw0lf | you want to hear a horror story? |
| 20:07 | fo0bar | and I tought "wow, this cost a mint when it was first commissioned" |
| 20:07 | fo0bar | must have I mean |
| 20:07 | dataw0lf | the company I just got done consulting for, the lead sys admin was running X + Gnome on his primary server. |
| 20:08 | dataw0lf | So that the server configuration was 'easier'. |
| 20:08 | @caker | what, no SETI screen saver like all the DB and webservers at my previous job? |
| 20:08 | @caker | ^-- common story |
| 20:08 | fo0bar | caker: nah, I proposed using UML to the company... they're trying to get away from shared and smaller-dedicated hosting |
| 20:08 | dataw0lf | no shit, he had the random xscreesaver running on it. |
| 20:09 | @caker | I just know the majority of the 100%-cpu consuming Linodes (which promptly get niced-up) are likely running distributed.net or something |
| 20:09 | dataw0lf | heh, nice is every sys admin's friend. |
| 20:10 | @caker | that will also be a component of the Linode-watchdog thing |
| 20:10 | @caker | (nicing stuff) |
| 20:10 | fo0bar | heh |
| 20:10 | @caker | cfq-ts has awesome io priorities, and works VERY well |
| 20:11 | fo0bar | they have every right to run distributed/seti... of course you also have to provide no more processing power than you advertise |
| 20:11 | dataw0lf | heh, no shit. |
| 20:11 | @caker | I'm hoping to crank up sshd's priority, to prevent me from being locked out of hosts during thrashers. Currently, I keep screen sessions open all over the place to each box |
| 20:11 | @caker | fo0bar: yup |
| 20:12 | @caker | I often log into hosts and discover a few cpu-spinners have been going for quite a while, and no one else has complained, so I'm happy with CPU distribution |
| 20:12 | fo0bar | damnit! |
| 20:13 | fo0bar | now I have the urge to switch over my laptop to dm-crypt |
| 20:14 | dataw0lf | what type of lappy do you have? |
| 20:15 | fo0bar | dell inspiron 5150, 2.66ghz, 512MB, 60GB drive |
| 20:15 | dataw0lf | Nice. |
| 20:15 | fo0bar | yeah, I like it |
| 20:16 | dataw0lf | I just got a 1.7ghz, 512 ram, 40 gig for free, it was pretty swete. |
| 20:16 | fo0bar | it has a nice video card (geforcefx 5200 go), it's relatively light, and if I tweak the power management settings a lot, I can get about 9 hours battery out of it |
| 20:17 | dataw0lf | Nice, I haven't really screwed with this one, just installed Ubuntu on it and got everything working. |
| 20:18 | fo0bar | I have ubuntu on a few desktops... this laptop has gentoo though |
| 20:18 | dataw0lf | yeah, I love Ubuntu for desktop / laptop use. |
