[Bug 425914] Re: [FFe] CC and NC networking mode is set to 'SYSTEM' by default
In SYSTEM mode, Eucalypus connects instances to the existing LAN by way of a bridge, and relies on existing networking infrastructure (DHCP servers, DNS, etc.) to run them. This is a very basic mode of operation, and is somewhat limited. In MANAGED(-NOVLAN) you get all the bells and whistles Eucalyptus has to offer: EBS, Elastic IP's, the user-data and meta-data service, etc. So much for the rationale. In order to get into MANAGED(-NOVLAN) mode, Eucalyptus needs to have a dedicated subnet for its instances. I've added debconf questions to get networking information from the admin and changed a bit of logic along the way to make Eucalyptus use these settings. In this mode, Eucalyptus will run a few extra services, which will only be exposed to Eucalyptus' internal subnet. -- [FFe] CC and NC networking mode is set to 'SYSTEM' by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425914 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to eucalyptus in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

My primary concern is this: Since the API isn't published nor stable you'd have to have a strict versioned dependency on the samba version against which your package is built. This is not a problem in itself, but it becomes one if someone has your package installed, and we publish a security update for Samba. Given the strict versioned dependency, samba will not be upgraded until your package has been rebuilt against the new samba version and subsequently published (since staying with an old samba version is considered more acceptable to apt than removing your package).

powernowd in server seed
Hi, guys! I'm considering adding powernowd to the server seed, which means that it will be installed by default on server installs (unless you choose the minimal install method located in the Modes menu (press F4 to see it at the bootsplash)). If the installed kernel supports the ondemand scaling governor, powernowd's init script simply tells the kernel to use that. If for some reason the kernel doesn't support this, it falls back to the userspace governor, spawns a daemon that monitors cpu usage and adjusts cpufreq accordingly. The win, of course, is that you'll save power, money, and the rain forest. :) Unless anyone objects, I'll file an FFe for this change, or at least queue it for Intrepid+1. -- Soren Hansen | Virtualisation specialist | Ubuntu Server Team Canonical Ltd. | http://www.ubuntu.com/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam

Sure. Thanks for catching it and pointing it out.
I hear you. All my servers are, in fact, remote. I'm however in the
happy situation that if a machine fails to come online after a
reboot, I can boot up a RAM-based rescue system from whence I can
diagnose the system. I realise you might not be as fortunate.
I'd like to hear more about this ... your own, proprietary, or open
source, or ???
Not my own. It's offered by my hosting provider. They have a web
interface, from whence I can reboot the system, either sending a
ctrl-alt-delete or by pressing the reset button. Both happen
automatically. I have no idea how they implement it. On that
webinterface, I can also choose to have my server boot a rescue system
the next time it starts up. This presumably sets up their DHCP server to
offer this RAM based system to my server, which then goes on to PXE
boot. The RAM based system is Debian Etch, by the way.
My previous hosting provider had a similar service, so I actually
thought this was wide spread.
For these new Hardy servers I'm building, I'm playing with the idea of
booting off of a USB stick, but USB is _slow_ and the read-write
nature of a running system (even just the Xen server host) would
likely cause rapid failure of the USB sticks. My next wild idea was
to build a 3-way RAID1 for the root disk (USB + 2 internal HD
partitions of 2.1GB), sync everything, then pull the USB ... plug it
in weekly to sync up and then yank it again.
Heh :) Well, yes, that would work :)
I was hoping to avoid a situation we had a few months ago where an apt-get
(or some function in a post-install) fixed the grub menu.lst and caused
the server to not be bootable anymore.
I'd very much like to hear more of this incident? Do you remember in
what way the menu.lst was changed?
I understand. The perfect solution for me would be an ssh server in
the initramfs so that I could ssh into the server and take a look
around, reassure myself that the faulty disk has been properly
identified, etc., etc. and then take appropriate action.
yeah, having network smarts and ssh (on an alternate port since you
might not be able to read the ondisk password file?) would be great!
I imagine an initramfs hook would take care to copy /etc/{shadow,passwd}
entries for members of the admin group to the initramfs (possibly
changing their uid to 0 to avoid sudo in initramfs).
This is all very valuable input. It's good to have some leverage when
we engage in the discussion about perhaps getting this functionality
pushed back into hardy.
My big push to my customers for Ubuntu *is* the LTS feature ... many
of them have been burned by un-supported, and un-upgradable RH systems
(I've got a few 6.2 systems out there still ... ugh). Getting what I
would consider a mission critical feature for a SERVER pushed back
into the LTS server release would be very valuable to the argument
that Ubuntu is Enterprise Ready and willing to add the necessary
features to run Mission Critical applications on.
Thanks for your input.

What word would *you* choose to describe a server that won't boot when only one of it's (supposedly redundant) members is down?

I'm quite happy that the server doesn't boot if my raid array is broken, actually. Imagine a scenario where the disk controller is flaky. Disk A goes away while the system is running, and is then out of date. You reboot the machine (or perhaps it rebooted itself because the flaky controller short circuited or whatever), and for whatever reason (flaky controller, remember?), the system boots from disk B instead. The changes to your filesystem since disk A disappeared away are not there, and new changes are being written to disk B, and there's no chance of merging the two. This is what I refer to as having a very bad day. There are lots of other scenarios where you really don't want to boot if your RAID array is not in tip-top shape. If the system is already running, it knows something about its current state, which disk is the more trustworthy one, etc. When booting, this is not the case. I value data over uptime. Every time I think it's fixed I seem to learn that it's uh, er, not functional once again. Not acting in the way you want is not the same as not functional. (I'm pretty sure it works fine in 6.06 LTS tho it's been a long time since I tested it.) Nope. It's the same. I've been installing operating systems on RAID1 for my little LAN servers for as long as I can remember. Before Ubuntu it never occurred to me that getting a system to boot a RAID1 with a defunct member was some rocket science. True, it's more difficult than it could be. Dustin has been working hard on getting that fixed in Intepid. Why, pray tell, can't Ubuntu make this Just Work like most every thing else in Ubuntu? Just Work in this context means different things to different people. To me, Just Work means that it above all doesn't corrupt my data. To others, it might mean start the sucker no matter what, so that I can get on with my life. Neither is a malfunction, so both options should be available, but spare me the broken and not functional babble. Would my rant be any better received if I pointed out that this stuff has worked just fine in versions of Red Hat and Windows dating back almost a decade.

In every single answer above you are focused on the fact that it does fine for the use case where you don't want it to boot upon failure. Except, of course, where I don't (as quoted above). I've never said my use case it the only correct one. I'm just saying that there are use cases where the current behaviour is completely correct. As noted in the page [1] linked to by Dustin's blog, that's a valid use case. (A bit hard for a guy like me to imagine. But valid nevertheless.) As I said: I value data integrity over uptime. I'm quite anal with my data. What you don't seem to grasp is that it utterly fails at the other use case where the system needs to boot regardless. I'm completely aware that you want it to do something that it currently doesn't do. I'm merely pointing out that carrying on the way you do is not helping anything. Please try to be constructive. You seem to be declaring that use case as being one that's invalid (evidently because *I* prefer it as you offer no other. I don't know what you mean by offer no other. I'm not going to lie and tell you that Ubuntu does something that it doesn't. It's broken because the second use case doesn't work. And evidently can't be made to work under any circumstances. I'm not going to continue this discussion. I tried to explain that the current state has validity. I tried to explain that other use cases are valid as well, and work has been done to support those. That's hardly saying that it can't be made to work under any circumstance. If it is, we're speaking a very different language, and that just further supports the pointlessness of continuing discussion. Tell me, once again, what word you use to describe a system where a documented valid use case utterly fails? I'm not sure. Not suitable for my needs, perhaps. Not necessarily broken, that's for sure. Let's take a completely different example: It's a completely valid use case to be able to control Ubuntu server using nothing but voice commands. At the moment, that's not supported. That doesn't make Ubuntu server's user interface broken. And no, I'm not saying that wanting to boot with a degraded raid array is as common a use case as wanting to use voice commands to control Ubuntu server. It's just an example. It is not functional. It is broken. Not so. It's working. Simply not in the exact way you want it to. If we applied this terminology more globally, I'm convinced you'd find that *every* single piece of software in Ubuntu (or the entire world) is not functional, but broken. For that (seemingly, to me, more common) use case of wanting the server to do what servers do and run.

Simple in this context mostly means discoverable. Even if you have to click through half a dozen wizards and dialogs and stuff, most people find this simpler (more discoverable) than the CLI equivalent. However, clicking through a stack of dialogs, ticking check boxes, etc. might be simple, but it's not easy[1]. Remember that the vast majority of the stuff you do on a computer, you're going to do lots and lots of times, and it's only the first time you're doing it without any prior knowledge. CLI's might be complex and difficult to begin with, but grow simpler and easier the more you use them. GUI's, on the other hand, don't become much easier than they are to begin with, but at that point, discoverability is not key anymore. You still have to go through the same dialogs, tick the same boxes and all that. That's hardly productive. The first time you find out that you want your computer to run a few commands something every 10 minutes, you need to: * Discover cron (to know the mechanism for doing things periodically) * Learn the syntax of a crontab entry (to be able to add your own stuff) * Learn to use a text editor (to actually add your crontab entry) * Learn to write a shell script (to actually get your commands executed) * Learn about the filesystem (so that you can put the shell script in the right place (not necessarily master the FHS, but at least figure out that /tmp is not the right place nor is ~/Desktop). * Learn about file permissions (to set the execute bit on the shell script) This is daunting the first time.

Just to fill in a bit more info: 1. The hw-detect problem should be straightforward enough, so I won't go into much depth about that. 2. The problems involing open-iscsi are many-fold: 2.a. Networking is not configured in initramfs (yet the network is clearly up since we have loaded the initramfs somehow). 2.a.I Debian fixes this by leeching off of nfsroot's networking code. This is rather crappy, and doesn't have installer support (but needs it). 2.a.II The open-iscsi package has code (but doesn't ship the binary, IIRC) to extract the networking info from the PXE firmware (or whereever it resides. I'm not entirely sure). IIRC, the open-iscsi web page explains how to use this. 2.b. Then the network is up, we should be able to mount the root filesystem by doing the usual iscsi stuff to get access to the block devices. This might require some udev support in the initramfs, but I actually don't think so (UUID based mounting ftw!)) 2.c. When the root filesystem is mounted, and hence the network is up, we should be careful as to not nuke it, when we actually finish booting, but we should still let ifupdown configure the network properly (to get bonding running and such). There's probably more, but that should be enough to get started working on it. -- Root on iscsi is not supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237460 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to open-iscsi in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

This is all good stuff, and these changes can get us a long way, but things don't start to get really interesting until we take a step back and consider in a more broad perspective what we want to achieve, and how we can use the tools we have to do it. For Hardy we tried to get postfix and dovecot to integrate with each other by default. For various reasons this never came to be, but it's a rather good example of the kind of stuff we can do because we control are the suppliers of both pieces of software. My ssh-login-to-screen idea a few e-mails ago is another example. It might be silly, but it's an example of thinking outside the confines of single packages, and considering the software stack as more a whole. I absolutely agree with this, and through discussion, things like screen and other software, where appropriate and after thorough review, should be part of Ubuntu Server's default installation. This functionality and integration work is what gets at the heart of what Ubuntu is-- Linux for Human Beings. I wholeheartedly agree. To a great extent, Ubuntu Server is like Debian, but with some patches, a release schedule, support options, and dedicated ressources. This is good, but it could be much, much better. There's a *lot* of potential for improvement. On the other hand, there is a clear need to have an install method for server that is minimal, or platform oriented. Quite true. In our integration efforts we need to also keep in mind that folks might want to use a different combination of packages, so the coupling should be rather loose. Right now, the mini ISO, the alternate CD, JeOS and the current server CD all approach this from different angles, but come close to the same end result (though, IIRC, you end up with a different kernel in each). Alternate and the mini ISO will get you the same kernel. JeOS uses the virtual kernel, and the server CD gets you the server kernel. Additionally JeOS doesn't install standard, AFAIR, but only minimal, but yes, their end result is rather similar. I suggest we have on the server CD a boot option like 'linux minimal' (this has been suggested/implied elsewhere in this thread). This might simply be ubuntu-standard with the server kernel and a note that mentions running tasksel for additional packages (but this will need to be discussed).

[Bug 231060] Re: packages dnsmasq and libvirt-bin conflict with each other
dnsmasq is a general purpose dns (and DHCP, but let's ignore this for the purpose of this conversation) server. The dnsmasq package installs itself and starts listening on all interfaces. That seems like a reasonable default behaviour for a general purpose caching dns server to me. libvirt uses dnsmasq (the binary, not the service) to provide dns and dhcp services to virtual networks. If you're installing dnsmasq and libvirt-bin alongside each other, you have to work out the conflicts yourself. I'm not convinced there is a reasonable default fix for this case. -- packages dnsmasq and libvirt-bin conflict with each other https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231060 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

You should do your browsing from a workstation, and then use wget or sftp to transfer any files you need to the server. And w3m or similar tools are only one command away with apt-get if you do need them. Let's keep the clutter to a minimum. This seems to be a common theme when it comes to discussing what goes on servers by default and what doesn't. We shouldn't put foo on servers by default, because not everyone needs it, and it's easily apt-get installable if you need it. Well, that might be true, but consider the converse: Some people need it, and it's easily apt-get removable if you don't. which is also true. With the advent of the server seed, I think the time is ripe for us to be slightly (not much, but just a tiny bit) more promiscuous in our choice of what gets installed by default. w3m is a good example of this. You might not use it every day (or even week, month, or year), but the convenience of finding it there when you need it weighed against the space wasted for it while you don't makes it a reasonable candidate for being installed by default, and I'm glad this decision was made at the server team meeting a few days ago, too. Something like screen would fall into sort of the same sorting pile, but I think these are just the starting points. I for one would certainly be open to a discussion about additional tools being installed by default, like chkrootkit, smartmontools, munin-node[1], checksecurity, bzr, etckeeper (I haven't actually looked into this one, but it seems like something we might want to push), ntp[1], etc. This is all stuff that would (begin to) turn the server install from a very basic system on top of which you can install stuff to actually make it useful into something that does that too, but also promotes a set of best practices and such. So far, our only tools for doing that have been inclusion into main and sometimes documentation. We should probably add an install option to the server CD to only install the base system, so that the die hard group of old school admins can keep their Ubuntu systems as small as possible, though.

There's a huge difference between munin-node and ntp on one side, and w3m on the other. Certainly. If that wasn't the case, there wouldn't be much to discuss. :) w3m is client side tool, for local users of server (administrators). Quite right. ntp and munin-node are daemons and, when installed, most of the administrators share those services on network. That's also true. I'm not sure what your point is? As you can see, I totally agree with you regarding w3m, but not over munin-node and ntp. But, I could get convinced if we start offering products, not packages((c) by Rick Clark) :D I suppose that is sort of what I'm suggesting. The current Ubuntu server install is not much more than a minimal set of packages to have a functional system. This is very convenient for some use cases, but at some point, I'd like for Ubuntu server to be much more than that. There's lots of simple stuff we could do, such as install some extra packages by default (chkrootkit, checksecurity, and ntp just to name a few). Slightly more involved things to do is to install various monitoring agents (I'm thinking of munin-node and nagios-plugins, but others might make sense, too) along with a configuration package to hook them into a corresponding server (for munin-node this would be as simple as adding the server's IP to the list of allowed hosts, and for nagios-plugins it would involve setting up an ssh-server and add a pubkey authenticated user to call the plugins). A properly designed directory service could provide transport for these configuration settings. I haven't put a whole lot of thought into this, to be honest, but it seems like an interesting discussion to have. -- Soren Hansen | Virtualisation specialist | Ubuntu Server Team Canonical Ltd. | http://www.ubuntu.com/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam

Re: Moving w3m out of standard
installed even though they can just choose to not turn them on? I would prefer the foundation so I can customize the size, layout, and features how I want them. This is assuming your analogy means I can just point my finger and say sudo apt-get install toilet. Well, if there's only one possible type of toilet anyway, I see no reason to not install it by default. Well, maybe there's another type, but it can only be installed upside down, or it has spikes on it, so they're not really useful alternatives at all. Without the toilet, the house is habitable, but will soon prove to be annoying to almost anyone who attemts to live in it. I think I'm ready to ditch this analogy now and talk about actual packages :) The server itself could have been connected to the internet with a 100mbit fiber line. Also, everyone keeps bringing this up that you'll wish you had it when things go sour but even with my stripped down installs I've never felt that I was lacking any tools on the server when troubleshooting. Well, a) you install a stack of packages on all your servers anyhow, so your available selection of packages is different from everybody else's, and b) this is not just about having tools that will help you get out of a jam. This is about all kinds of useful stuff. I'm too lazy and busy to proofread all this, so I hope I was intelligible and courteous.
