| 10:40 mgoetze | hm, so, if i want to run an interactive script in class/, i need to make it a .source script so the output will be written to the console, right? |

| 11:02 stockholm | does anyone use kvm with lenny and fai? |
| 11:12 lazyb0y | stockholm: I played around with it a bit. in terms of FAI kvm is just a "normal machine", isn't it? |
| 11:13 stockholm | i dont know yet. aparently it can pxe boot |
| 11:13 stockholm | but there is a bug with lennys kernel aparently: http://groups.google.se/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/d20c7262700e7b1a |
| 11:13 lazyb0y | stockholm: yes, I already did that |
| 11:13 stockholm | we have e1000 network cards |
| 11:14 stockholm | halt, that is wrong |
| 11:14 stockholm | we have broadcom |
| 11:15 lazyb0y | hmm, don't know. when I think about it, I'm not totally sure if I tested this on lenny or on an ubuntu machine |
| 11:17 lazyb0y | so, usually pxe-booting should work (and be independent of the hardware's NIC type) - defintely there are many things that could go wrong |
| 11:18 lazyb0y | what exactly are you traing and were are you failing? |
| 11:19 lazyb0y | What I remember when plaing arojund with this was, that the necessary firmware for pxe-booting the virtual NIC was not in the distribution package because of license issues and I had to download the original sources to get these pxe images |
| 11:19 lazyb0y | http://sprang.de/cms/node/114 |
| Action: h01ger shivers by seeing debian bugs referenced via groups.google.se by a DD ;) |
| 11:19 h01ger | stockholm, there is even the fix in the bts - so whats the deal? ;) |
| 11:20 lazyb0y | h01ger: sometimes, before trying things and wasting time, it can be helpful to ask if somebody else was there already and succeeded or not :) |
| 11:20 h01ger | lazyb0y, that was a dumb comment. RTFbts |
| 11:21 stockholm | h01ger: that was an impolite comment |
| 11:22 h01ger | wasting others people time is impolite as well |
| 11:22 h01ger | but still not a reason to become impolite oneself. point |
| 11:22 stockholm | h01ger: i googled and google liked its own group thing best. |
| 11:23 stockholm | some years ago the bts stoped ranking high on google search results. |
| 11:23 stockholm | (how come?) |
| 11:23 h01ger | stockholm: read your url. it mentions another debian bug. that bug is fixed and the changelog contains the info how to fix it in lenny |
| 11:25 FBI | fai: 3 lange committed revision 5369 to 7 fai: make release |
| 11:27 stockholm | lazyb0y: so i guess one creates a couple of virtual machines on the hosts and installes them when need be. do unused virtual machines eat much memory? |
| 11:28 lazyb0y | stockholm: depends on what you mean with "unused" :) |
| 11:29 stockholm | i read the kvm howto. there they create a virtual machine with |
| 11:29 lazyb0y | stockholm: (and what you mean with memory :) ) |
| 11:30 lazyb0y | with? |
| 11:30 stockholm | gah |
| 11:30 stockholm | i misread: |
| 11:31 stockholm | i thought you allocated a slot for the virtual machine, without actually installing any data |
| 11:31 stockholm | but in fact they do |
| 11:31 stockholm | virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n vm10 -r 512 --vcpus=2 -f ~/vm10.qcow2 -s 12 -c ~/debian-500-amd64-netinst.iso --vnc --noautoconsole --os-type linux --os-variant debianLenny --accelerate --network=bridge:br0 --hvm |
| 11:31 stockholm | wich actually installs the machine from network (or alternatively cd) |
| 11:32 lazyb0y | this looks like booting from iso |
| 11:32 lazyb0y | and it's not plain kvm, but libvirt. which is good to use, but might have different features (and bugs :) ) |
| 11:32 stockholm | that is not what i want. i want to use our fai setup as much as possible and pxe boot |
| 11:33 stockholm | oh. |
| 11:33 stockholm | i did not realize it was not pure kvm. |
| 11:33 lazyb0y | I only pxe-booted with plain kvm and can confirm that it works |
| 11:33 lazyb0y | virt-install is a libvirt tool |
| 11:33 stockholm | the howto is badly titled then |
| 11:35 stockholm | lazyb0y: i found your blog :-) |
| 11:35 lazyb0y | stockholm: you _will_ want to use libvirt for the management stuff as soon as you start doing something serious on servers |
| 11:35 lazyb0y | but for your first checks you'll want to just use the "kvm" program |
| 11:35 stockholm | i _do_ want to do something serious on servers. |
| 11:37 lazyb0y | :) |
| 11:38 lazyb0y | I've not got to get into libvirt yet, it adds a lot of interesting possibilities, but also complexity and additional layers... |
| 11:38 lazyb0y | anyway, that's not really fai anymore now :) |

| 19:58 adrian15 | Hi all |
| 19:58 adrian15 | Is there anyone from the Ubuntu team ? |
| 19:59 mgoetze | i don't know which ubuntu team you mean |
| 19:59 adrian15 | the launchpad one |
| 20:00 adrian15 | mgoetze: I want to know if you are going to merge my own intrepid branch or not |
| 20:01 mgoetze | i'm afraid you won't get an answer to that sort of question in this channel |
| 20:01 adrian15 | well, going to write emails, will be better |
| 20:01 adrian15 | ok |
| 20:03 mgoetze | in fact we sometimes get the impression that there's noone who cares about working on fai in ubuntu... |
| 20:03 gebi | any ideas why fai won't mount my configdir? (mounting per hand on the client works without problems, and no error messages from fai itself) |
| 20:05 mgoetze | gebi: does the fai.conf in the nfsroot point to the right config source? |
| 20:05 gebi | yes |
| 20:05 gebi | hm... get-config-dir is not even executed |
| 20:05 adrian15 | gebi: If it is a nfs mount try to write hostname instead of ip or viceversa |
| 20:05 adrian15 | well, must go |
| adrian15 (~a1802823@talarn.udl.es) left irc: Remote host closed the connection |
| 20:06 mgoetze | ip is usually safer |
| 20:07 gebi | if i mount with the same nfs command fai would use i works without any problems |
| 20:07 gebi | it seems that get-config-dir from /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/usr/lib/fai is not executed |
| 20:08 gebi | but why? |
| 20:09 mgoetze | i've never heard of the problem |

| 20:47 gebi | ok i've found the problem, my monserver variable is emtpy so task_confdir just returns before mounting the config directory without any notice |
| 20:47 gebi | very nice "feature" |
| 20:48 gebi | putting a monserver=<IP> into the pxeconfig fixed the problem |
| 20:50 mgoetze | uh? |
| 20:50 mgoetze | i've never used a monserver, but don't have any problems mounting the config space... |
| 20:51 gebi | maybe because the example fai dhcpd.conf decleares the variable, beside a few others |
| 20:51 gebi | but i have to use a windows dhcpd so i don't have those vars |
| 20:52 mgoetze | i always wrote my own dhcpd.conf, but i'm not sure what the default fai.conf says, i haven't touched that part |
| 21:01 gebi | hm.. ok i've set -x task_confdir |
| 21:02 gebi | no sign of get-config-dir, the line before define_fai_flags is executed, and the lines below are executed too |
| 21:04 gebi | http://paste.debian.net/34019/ |
| 21:07 mgoetze | kannste auch tagsueber ins irc? MrFai kann dir da bestimmt eher helfen... |
| 21:10 gebi | is jetzt net tagsueber ;) |
| 21:10 gebi | ja ich muss jetzt eh auch weg, werd noch die restlichen probleme angehen und dann mal auf die ml posten |
| 21:10 mgoetze | na der ist meist so bis 18:00 hier :) |
| 21:11 mgoetze | joa ML oder ggf. bugreport, wenn du meinst dass FAI schuld ist |
| 21:11 gebi | ist aptitude eigentlich das setting APT::Default-Release "lenny"; aus apt.conf komplett wurscht? |
| 21:12 mgoetze | ich glaub nicht dass "lenny" da erlaubt ist, probiers mal mit "stable" |
| 21:12 gebi | weil mir rutscht da naemlich udev aus unstable rein |
| 21:13 gebi | und damit tut setup-disk nicht mehr weils udevsettle im neuen udev net mehr als binary gibt |
| 21:13 mgoetze | also bei mir steht "stable" und das wirkt soweit... |
| 21:14 gebi | ok baut grad das nfsroot neu :) |
| 21:15 gebi | es waere eigentlich ganz nett wenn per default ins nfsroot auch das paket locales installiert werden wuerd, damit waeren die ganzen errors am anfang auch weg |
| 21:17 h01ger | file a bug, please |
| 21:18 gebi | and busybox would be nice too to have a initrd useable for debugging |
| 21:18 gebi | h01ger: will do |
| 21:21 gebi | and why i need an extra nfs-root hook to create the initramfs of a 2.6.29-1 debian kernel from unstable |
| 21:25 gebi | mgoetze: it works :), thx for help! |
