install graphite +statsd ....getting error unknown carbon-cache - graphite

I am following these instructions(https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-graphite-on-an-ubuntu-14-04-server)
to install statsd and graphite, but am running into below stated problem. Seems like this is not a graphite issue but python issue. Does anybody know how to resolve this?
~/build > sudo service carbon-cache start

twisted.python.usage.UsageError: Unknown command: carbon-cache

I was following the same instructions and encountered the same problem.
Moving or removing the /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/twisted directory also resolved the issue for me.
You can use for example the following command to change the name of the problematic directory:
mv /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/twisted /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/twisted2
Then use sudo service carbon-cache start again
Background
I had the same issue on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine. Some investigation indicates that there are two virtually identical areas for twisted plugins on my machine.
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/twisted
and
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/twisted
I am not sure where these two areas originate from. Perhaps one comes with the distro and the other is created through a manual pip install twisted that I may have done at one time. I suspect that the /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ area gets populated with content when I install packages using pip. So this problem my eventually be attributed to users (e.g. me) installing twisted via pip and via the apt package system.
In any case, a diff through these areas showed that the carbon related files were installed into the /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ area. dpkg -L graphite-carbon also indicates that the package files go into the /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ area.
However, when the carbon start script is run is appears that /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/twisted/plugins area is used leading to the plugin not being found.
I assume that this issue is related to the modules search path. As can be seen below the /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ comes before the /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ in my default path.

for some reason twisted was messing up something with graphite.
read on the internet that manually removng twisted solves the problem.
Tried it and it works now
just did
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/twiste*

undefined reference to `sec_set_context' during mpi4py install

I am installing mpi4py using pip using the command pip3 install mpi4py, on a centos7 system.
I get this error:
/glade/u/apps/ch/opt/openmpi/4.0.5/intel/19.0.5/bin/mpicc _configtest.o -L/glade/u/apps/ch/opt/python/3.7.9/gnu/9.1.0/lib -Lbuild/temp.linux-x86_64-3.7 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags,-R/glade/u/apps/ch/opt/python/3.7.9/gnu/9.1.0/lib -o _configtest

failure.
removing: _configtest.c _configtest.o
error: Cannot link MPI programs. Check your configuration!!!
----------------------------------------
Does anybody have any tips?
In this case on Cheyenne's HPC cluster, you will likely need to add these arguments to your compilation/link commands -L/opt/pbs/lib -Wl,-rpath,/opt/pbs/lib -lsec or reload the ncarcompilers module.
Nevertheless, I recommend you reach out to CISL's helpdesk at NCAR for any similar problems you encounter on our system as there are dedicated teams of people to help users resolve issues like this.

Openstack placement-status upgrade check giving not initialized error

I am trying to install openstack Wallaby on Ubuntu 20.04. I already installed Keystone and Glance and they work as expected. But after I installed Placement and tried to verify it using 'placement-status upgrade check' I constantly get the same error.
Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/oslo_upgradecheck/upgradecheck.py", line 196, in run
return conf.command.action_fn()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/oslo_upgradecheck/upgradecheck.py", line 104, in check

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/oslo_config/cfg.py", line 2543, in find_file
raise NotInitializedError()
oslo_config.cfg.NotInitializedError: call expression on parser has not been invoked
Is this normal at this stage or am I doing something wrong here?
I already checked the database connections (user and password work and database is made). And I also checked the username, password and url options in keystone_authtoken in placement.conf but I can't find what's wrong.
I also encountered this problem with Wallaby on Ubuntu 20.04. I solved it with installing Placement from PyPI instead of Ubuntu package manager so far. You should consider how implement starting Placement automatically if you install Placement from this instruction.
Install and configure Placement from PyPI
https://docs.openstack.org/placement/wallaby/install/from-pypi.html
I had the same problem so changed to Victoria, same issue. Digging about in the docs though I found the issue. The command that populate the database looks similar for Keystone, Glance and Placement but for placement the command should be 'su -s /bin/sh -c "placement-manage db sync" placement'. Notice that for placement it is 'db sync' not 'db_sync' as it is for the others. I created scripts, well actuall am using ansible and just cut and pasted between them and my guess is you have done the same. Basically as it does not run the database is empty hence the error.

Error importing SVN report to git using svn2git

I get the following error when importing an SVN repository to git with svn2git:
fatal: EOF in data (285 bytes remaining)
Does anyone know what this error means?
This is caused by a segmentation fault, there is a branch/tag/ in your repository that is causing it to core.
To get the core files you will need to enable cores:
Uncomment this line in /etc/security/limits.conf
soft core unlimited
Run svn2git, it may take up to 2 hours to get the segmentation fault. Install gdb:
yum install gdb
Analyse the core:
gdb svn2git/svn-all-fast-export core.NNNN
Get a back trace, type:
bt
You should see the branch/tag which caused problems in the back trace. Exclude the branch from processing by updating your ruleset:
match /branches/broken_branch_name
end match
See issue opened with owner of svn2git here:
https://github.com/svn-all-fast-export/svn2git/issues/26
Or even easier, pstack <pid of svn2git> and you will see where it is stuck, then Ctrl + C, add the dud branch to your rule set and start svn2git again.

OpenStack DevStack Fail: installs keystoneauth1 2.12.2, then demands 2.16.0 or better

This is on stable/newton, on Ubuntu 16.04 server.
Error message is:
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 859, in resolve

Before running ./stack.sh, from /opt/devstack as user stack:

keystoneauth1 (2.16.0)
stack#ubuntu-server-openstack:/opt/devstack$
And after:
stack#ubuntu-server-openstack:/opt/devstack$ pip list | ack keystoneauth1
DEPRECATION: The default format will switch to columns in the future. You can use --format=(legacy|columns) (or define a format=(legacy|columns) in your pip.conf under the [list] section) to disable this warning.
keystoneauth1 (2.12.2)
stack#ubuntu-server-openstack:/opt/devstack$
I have also made sure to delete the pip cache rm -rf ~/.pip/cache, but there does not seem to be one for this user.
How can the version conflict be resolved?
I solved this by using the default Vagrant script to set up a new vm under VirtualBox, upon which devstack installed just fine (stable/newton). I then deleted the vm with the problem. I did not find the root cause of the misconfiguration with the python package versions.

New version of OpenSSL causes Plone/Zope to not start

Today's (1 Mar 2016) OpenSSL release has caused the following error when running Plone/Zope
.buildout/eggs/ZODB3-3.10.5-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/persistent/cPersistence.so: undefined symbol: SSLv2_method
It's hard to see what's going on since it's a binary file. I also tried updating to ZODB3 3.11.0 which yields the following traceback
.buildout/eggs/ZConfig-2.9.0-py2.7.egg/ZConfig/loader.py", line 217, in schemaComponentSource
package=package)
ZConfig.SchemaResourceError: could not load package ZServer:
.buildout/eggs/zope.security-3.7.4-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/zope/security/_proxy.so: undefined symbol: SSLv2_method
Package name: 'ZServer'
File name: 'component.xml'
Package path: None
Is there any workaround for this other than reverting OpenSSL?
zope security is a compiled egg, like all the ones ending with -py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg.
As the traceback says, it cannot find anymore a symbol.
Probably you have to recompile it with the new openssl-dev.
I would try (on a development server first):
backup your compiled egg (mkdir eggs-backup && mv `eggs/zope.security-3.7.4-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg eggs-backup/)
rerun buildout
This will recompile your missing egg.
Hopefully it works and hopefully it is the only one linked to that library.
Anyway, dependending on the way you patched openssl you may have a lot of other issues (I am thinking about Python, urllib*, curl, wget, ...)
OpenSSL 1.0.2g by default doesn't build with SSLv2 (because of the recent DROWN attack). You may need to manually build it without OPENSSL_NO_SSL2 flag.
(but in fact you shouldn't do this if you're doing some server-related stuff, there is a serious security reason because of which it was disabled, see https://drownattack.com)
I was able to resolve this by upgrading python to 2.7.10+, and then upgrading Pillow and lxml.
