[00:07] <DenBeiren> i'll be looking into it tomorrow with a fresh mind,.. 02:00 here atm
[00:07] <sarnold> DenBeiren: not a bad idea. good luck. :)
[00:07] <DenBeiren> tia
[00:24] <hehe> fixed
[00:24] <hehe> sarnold: I missed some server blocks
[00:24] <hehe> now works
[00:24] <hehe> ::)
[00:27] <sarnold> hehe: excellent :)
[00:29] <hehe> its like a girl

[00:31] <hehe> omg so simple :D
[04:43] <rostam> HI is there a support for systemTap on ubuntu? thx
[04:43] <freeflying> rostam: Depends on what do you mean by support
[04:44] <rostam> freeflying,  debian package to start with.
[04:44] <freeflying> rostam: Then yes
[04:44] <rostam> freeflying,  thx
[04:45] <freeflying> rostam: There also are articles on wiki you may refer to
[04:45] <rostam> freeflying, thank you.
[04:45] <freeflying> Np
[06:38] <lordievader> Good morning.
[07:08] <dodgerblue> hello, I have a question about timers on 12.04 - I can't seem to get the high resolution timers working
[07:09] <dodgerblue> I enabled CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS in the kernel, yet /proc/timer_list displays 3 clocks for each of the 4 cpus, each clock having 4000000 nsecs freq
[07:09] <dodgerblue> I am running on an Intel i5
[07:10] <dodgerblue> grepping dmesg for "/dev/rtc" or "high resolution" yields nothing
[07:12] <dodgerblue> any suggestion of related things I could look at, or how I can debug this is very much appreciated, thanks!

[08:49] <[gnubie]> [OT] any recommended enterprise SSD that is fully supported by smartmontools? thanks.
[09:22] <ServerSage> Hey folks, a few hours ago I ran 'sudo do-release-upgrade' and things were flying along.  About 10 minutes ago it go to the mdadm stuff and has hung on "Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin".  The load is 0, no CPU is being used, and there is no drive IO.  What does one do when this happens?  This is going from 13.10 to 14.04.
[09:27] <xnox> ServerSage: known bug, fixed in trusty-proposed. You are using grub1 still?
[09:27] <ServerSage> xnox: It would appear so.  I'm looking at the grub2 upgrade page right now.
[09:27] <xnox> bug #1285312
[09:27] <xnox> ServerSage: ^
[09:28] <ServerSage> That was actually the page that lead me to the upgrade page.  Hehe.
[09:28] <xnox> =)
[09:29] <xnox> ServerSage: in this current state you may want to kill mdadm postinst process, fetch mdadm from trusty-proposed and install that, and redo do-release-upgrade.
[09:29] <xnox> ServerSage: or upgrade to grub2.
[09:30] <ServerSage> xnox: I'll just upgrade to grub2.  I didn't realize it wasn't an automatic upgrade.  I can think of no reason to *not* upgrade at this point.
[09:30] <xnox> indeed.
[09:33] <ServerSage> That was the ticket.  Upgraded to grub2, and blamo - it's now past the mdadm stuff.
[10:07] <DarkStar1> Hi all. I setup anonymous upload for vsftpd server and created a subdir in ftp root dir. Now I want all files uploaded into that directory to have group rw perms
[10:07] <DarkStar1> How can I do this?
[10:53] <soren> DarkStar1: I'm pretty sure vsftpd lets you set a umask, doesn't it?
[10:54] <soren> DarkStar1: Ah, no, you want this: chown_upload_mode
[10:54] <soren> The file mode to force for chown()ed anonymous uploads. (Added in v2.0.6).
[10:54] <DarkStar1> soren: I saw the setting for local users. but not for anon
[10:55] <DarkStar1> soren: thanks
[10:55] <soren> np
[11:33] <pmatulis> morning
[11:34] <lordievader> Hey pmatulis, how are you?
[12:57] <Tazmain> hi all how do I get apache2 to redirect a url to another with a different port ?
[13:04] <InFierno> vhost :)
[13:06] <Tazmain> InFierno, vhost ? So what setup a redirect under apache2/sites-enabled  ? I tried that I keep getting a error saying the page does not exist
[14:36] <DonRichie> If I establish a connection via tcp. Which numbers are the Source and Destination port numbers? The port for the destination "Client->Server" ist clear. But which Source port the Client uses and on which ports the Server answers?
[14:37] <rbasak> smoser: I see utopic daily images, but they're not listed in http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/daily/streams/v1/com.ubuntu.cloud:daily:download.json
[14:38] <DonRichie> Client->Server Source-Port: ? Destination-Port: App Port e.g. 80 for http ;;;   Server->Client: Source-Port: ?, Destination-Port: ?
[14:38] <rbasak> Do you need to amend your simplestreams generation stuff with knowledge of utopic?
[14:41] <smoser> rbasak, pushed to know about that. not sure it will actually fix the problem completely. utlemming would be able to watch that through thou.
[14:41] <rbasak> smoser: thanks!
[14:43] <smoser> rbasak, it looks (in local test here) that that will get data generated. next time that runs.
[14:43] <smoser> bad smoser for hard coding ubuntu releases. :-(
[14:45] <rbasak> OK. Thanks!
[14:45] <rbasak> smoser: use distro-info. That gets SRU'd every cycle.
[14:45] <rbasak> (well, distro-info-data does)
[14:45] <smoser> rbasak, yeah, i'm not sure why i didn't do that there.
[15:30] <BLZbubba> got a major major bug here in 14.04 - it is installing a package called "biosdevname" by default
[15:31] <BLZbubba> who is able to fix this?
[15:31] <BLZbubba> this is going to hose a lot of people
[15:34] <BLZbubba> looks like el7 has the same broken behavior, ugh
[15:34] <BLZbubba> at least they don't have upstart
[15:35] <ogra_> BLZbubba, send flowers to redhat ... iirc it was their idea
[15:35] <ogra_> https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/appe-Consistent_Network_Device_Naming.html
[15:38] <mdeslaur> BLZbubba: what's wrong with biosdevname?
[15:49] <ogra_> mdeslaur, all the scripts that work based on guessed dev names will break
[15:49] <K4k> Anyone know why I might be getting a message about needing to be +i in #ubuntu all of a sudden?
[15:52] <fun> :)
[15:52] <fun> why is ubuntu on +i?
[15:52] <K4k> yes
[15:52] <fun> and also any idea how I can check berkley db version?
[15:52] <K4k> I see that too
[15:52] <mdeslaur> ogra_: well, that's the real problem :)
[15:53] <ogra_> we should have kept aliases in place ;)
[15:53] <fun> or do they have channel  on irc?
[15:54] <fun> ???
[15:54] <fun> :)
[15:55] <fun> o well u seems as mad as ubuntu
[15:55] <fun> :D
[16:03] <Scunizi> I'm trying to create a txt file of just directory names and the subdirectory names that are underlying starting at a specific directory in my /home. No file names. Any suggestions welcome.
[16:04] <lordievader> Scunizi: Something with find and filtering for folders?
[16:05] <Scunizi> lordievader: or a ls command of some sort.. that's what I'm trying to figure out.  any ideas?
[16:06] <lordievader> Scunizi: [1] tells me -type d is an option for find. [1] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-find-a-directory-linux-command/
[16:08] <Scunizi> lordievader: interesting I"ll give it a play.  my google-fu failed me this morning with this.
[16:49] <BLZbubba> mdeslaur: biosdevname is renaming all the interfaces from eth0.  it's tolerable if it is optional, but it is a horrible default setting
[16:49] <mdeslaur> BLZbubba: why is it horrible? it now matches the actual label on your server's port, and the device name no longer changes arbitrarily when you replace hardware
[16:49] <mdeslaur> BLZbubba: it's an improvement
[16:50] <mdeslaur> BLZbubba: you can boot with biosdevname=0 as a kernel parameter if you don't like it
[16:56] <patdk-wk> mdeslaur, if it did it reliably, sure
[16:57] <patdk-wk> but it keeps renaming everything to rename2 or rename3
[16:57] <mdeslaur> patdk-wk: have you filed a bug about that?
[16:57] <patdk-wk> yes
[16:57] <mdeslaur> what's the bug#?
[16:58] <patdk-wk> #1315218
[16:59] <patdk-wk> some kind of concurrency race condition
[16:59] <patdk-wk> causing a rename to fail, so it just leaves it in an odd state
[17:00] <mdeslaur> patdk-wk: if that's happening to you on 12.04, it has nothing to do with biosdevname
[17:00] <patdk-wk> no, didn't say biosdevname had anything to do with it
[17:00] <patdk-wk> the interface renaming does
[17:00] <patdk-wk> and 12.04 also renames interfaces, for it's persistant naming
[17:00] <mdeslaur> yes, that's normal, because it's matching mac addresses
[17:01] <patdk-wk> it's just, with 14.04 and biosdevname it happens a lot more often
[17:01] <patdk-wk> the failure is more consistant
[17:01] <patdk-wk> where in 12.04 it wasn't, as it was unlikely interfaces moved around that much
[17:01] <patdk-wk> till I did all those swaps and moves on my nic's atleast
[17:02] <patdk-wk> but the fix, is likely to be the same for both
[17:02] <xibalba> is `denyhosts` pkg no longer in the 14LTS repo?
[17:03] <mdeslaur> patdk-wk: I don't really understand...the behaviour you describe in the bug is perfectly normal and expected
[17:03] <mdeslaur> you definitely don't want a nic that got changed to assume the name of the nic it replaces
[17:03] <patdk-wk> that interfaces are named rename2 and rename3
[17:03] <mdeslaur> yeah, that's normal
[17:03] <patdk-wk> no, it's not
[17:03] <patdk-wk> if I say, I want this mac address to be eth1
[17:03] <patdk-wk> and this other mac to be eth2
[17:04] <patdk-wk> I would expect that to be the case
[17:04] <patdk-wk> not for it to be called, rename2
[17:04] <mdeslaur> patdk-wk: how are you setting that?
[17:04] <patdk-wk> 70-persistant-net.conf
[17:04] <patdk-wk> ubuntu set it up itself
[17:04] <patdk-wk> I removed eth0
[17:04] <patdk-wk> so then on boot, eth1 is now eth0, and eth2 is eth1
[17:05] <patdk-wk> and ubuntu fails to rename them how it used to be
[17:05] <patdk-wk> cause it cant rename eth0 to eth1, cause eth1 exists
[17:05] <patdk-wk> so it gets hung as rename2
[17:05] <patdk-wk> but eth1 gets renamed to eth2
[17:05] <patdk-wk> why this happens for 14.04, I dunno
[17:05] <patdk-wk> cause there is no naming conflict
[17:06] <patdk-wk> or, I'm assuming the rename conflict is the issue
[17:06] <mdeslaur> you shouldn't get ethX names at all with 14.04
[17:06] <patdk-wk> ya, on 14.04
[17:06] <patdk-wk> I should have, em0 and em1
[17:06] <mdeslaur> right
[17:06] <patdk-wk> but I get em1 and rename3
[17:06] <mdeslaur> but that's because you've removed em0, right?
[17:06] <patdk-wk> no
[17:06] <patdk-wk> new install on a new system
[17:07] <mdeslaur> you install 14.04 on a new system and one of your nics is called rename3?
[17:07] <patdk-wk> the whole udev renaming just doesn't seem to be as stable as it should be
[17:07] <patdk-wk> yes
[17:07] <patdk-wk> I had 4 nics in that system
[17:08] <patdk-wk> em0 em1 p5p0 and p5p1
[17:08] <mdeslaur> OK, I'll change your bug from "udev" to "systemd" because the udev package no longer exists.
[17:08] <mdeslaur> ok, so they got proper names
[17:08] <mdeslaur> then what, you rebooted and they change by themselves?
[17:08] <patdk-wk> except for the random rename3 one
[17:09] <patdk-wk> has happened on two systems, then I removed biosdevname to fix it
[17:09] <patdk-wk> then I had the issue on 12.04
[17:09] <patdk-wk> for 12.04, I just went in and undid all the mapping
[17:09] <patdk-wk> so atleast my systems could boot
[17:09] <mdeslaur> that's weird
[17:10] <patdk-wk> ya, something I should dig into
[17:10] <patdk-wk> but I have no mind set to do that, and not much knowledge of where to start
[17:10] <patdk-wk> as I normally care to find where the issue is, exactly
[17:11] <mdeslaur> there doesn't seem to be any other bugs about that issue, so perhaps it's related to something about your hardware configuration
[17:11] <patdk-wk> 12.04 are all vmware systems
[17:11] <patdk-wk> 14.04 where all read hardware, as I haven't started moving it into production yet
[17:11] <patdk-wk> real
[17:12] <mdeslaur> huh
[17:32] <xibalba> how can i login to root w/out a password? i copied my public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, but its still asking for a password on root, where no password is set
[17:34] <lordievader> xibalba: Does ~ refer to /root or to some user's home dir?
[17:34] <xibalba> root, yes
[17:34] <lordievader> xibalba: Is root login allowed in the sshd config?
[17:35] <xibalba> it is set as : PermitRootLogin without-password
[17:35] <xibalba> which i presume means keys are Ok
[17:35] <xibalba> reading the output on my client side of ssh -v
[17:36] <xibalba> oh well thats funky...my authorized_keys file is gone
[17:37] <xibalba> well that was a stupid issue
[17:37] <xibalba> resolved
[17:37] <lordievader> xibalba: Good to hear :)
[17:37] <xibalba> weird, i touched, then cat >, then chmod 600, logged out, tried key, no worky, check again, file gone
[17:37] <xibalba> gremlins are in the system
[17:38] <lordievader> Perhaps it was written to your standard user
[17:38] <xibalba> my 8192 key size is rediculous :)
[17:39] <patdk-wk> depends on it's usecase
[17:39] <xibalba> my personal shell boxes
[17:40] <xibalba> takes a few seconds to login
[17:41] <xibalba> i couldn't find the denyhosts pkg in the ubuntu14lts repo
[17:42] <xibalba> do you guys know of something else to use in its place?
[17:43] <lordievader> xibalba: Fail2ban.
[17:43] <xibalba> k
[17:45] <xibalba> hmm, trying to remembe rthe config for keys only
[17:46] <xibalba> PasswordAuthentication no
[17:47] <xibalba> coolio
[18:07] <sarkis> what does it mean when i see a version as 1:5.3.5-foobar in dpkg?
[18:07] <sarkis> 1: specifically
[18:08] <sarnold> sarkis: that's an epoch; it's introduced when version numbers of the underlying package have changed drastically enough that the packager needed to pick a new version number that is strictly larger than all the others
[18:08] <sarnold> sarkis: it is often introduced when a package switches from yyyymmddhhmm versioning to x.y.z versioning
[18:11] <patdk-wk> or if one wants to override the default ubuntu package
[18:11] <patdk-wk> like in ppa's
[18:12] <sarnold> hadn't thought of that. that seems a bit drastic compared to package pinning, but won't rely on setting up package pinning on each host..
[18:22] <patdk-wk> package pinning is too annoying for me
[18:23] <patdk-wk> I would have to pin the package on all of my systems
[18:23] <patdk-wk> easier to pin it in the ppa :)
[18:23] <sarnold> :)
[19:19] <rostam> hi I have installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The issue is I am not able to download any package from launchpad. I keep getting 403 error. Any help greatly appreciated. thx
[19:30] <patdk-wk> why would you be downloading stuff from launchpad?
[19:35] <rostam> patdk-wk I am trying to install "saltstack"
[19:42] <rberg_> rostam: did you add the ppa?
[19:43] <rberg_> eg 'apt-add-repository ppa:saltstack/salt'
[19:50] <rostam> rberg_, : yes I did add the ppa, and changed and add export https_proxy, I still get the same error.
[19:51] <rberg_> did you add it with apt-add-repo? or manually? I am trying to figure out if ther emight be a typo or something..
[19:52] <tgm4883> This could be the completely wrong way to go about this, but is there a sales@canonical.com email address? I'm trying to get some info on landscape, and talked with some british lady at the end of april, but she has forgotten to email me the information
[19:52] <sarnold> rostam: I don't think apt-get uses the http_proxy environment variable, I think you need to set its proxy manually -- see apt.conf for details
[19:53] <rostam> sarnold,  thanks
[19:55] <sarnold> tgm4883: I believe this is the easiest way to get ahold of someone http://www.ubuntu.com/management/contact-us
[19:55] <tgm4883> sarnold: yea I did that, and that is how I got the original call from sales
[19:55] <tgm4883> I just want the info that we had discussed though :/
[19:55] <sarnold> tgm4883: oh :(
[19:55] <tgm4883> I suppose I could try that again
[19:56] <tgm4883> I think that they just forgot about me. I'm west coast USA, so when I talked to them it was like 6:00 PM their time
[19:56] <sarnold> we really ought to have someone over on our side of the world :)
[19:57] <tgm4883> yes, you would think there would be someone in the boston office at least
[19:58] <tgm4883> oh well, just filled out that form again, we'll see what happens
[19:58] <sarnold> thanks tgm4883
[20:10] <Lightsword> for provisioning a server I need to script the download of a file only available through a torrent, what would be the best way to do that?
[20:11] <bekks> Lightsword: Setup an ubuntu server and script your download?
[20:12] <Lightsword> bekks yeah, just wondering what the best torrent client for command line would be and if there is one that can autoterminate after downloading a single file
[20:12] <sarnold> Lightsword: hrm, it feels like there used to be 'dumb' bittorrent clients that could run just on a dumb terminal..
[20:13] <sarnold> Lightsword: I know you can configure rtorrent to quit after downloading but it may not run without a pty to connect to. :/
[20:14] <Lightsword> right now I'm trying to get it to work with transmission-cli but not sure how to have it auto-terminate
[20:15] <Lightsword> don't want it to be running in the background
[20:17] <roadmr> hello folks! I'm doing a utopic server installation over the network (pxe), but it's failing because it thinks mirror/suite is "trusty". I'm not setting mirror/suite in my preseed so maybe this is borked somewhere in the server daily image?
[20:18] <bekks> roadmr: current daily is trusty, actually.
[20:20] <roadmr> bekks: oh that would explain it :) that's odd though because the image already calls itself utopic: rsync://rsync.cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/ubuntu-server/daily/current/utopic-server-amd64.iso
[20:20] <roadmr> bekks: but I defer to your knowledge, if this is known/expected I can wait, just thought I'd mention this in case it's a bug that needs action
[20:21] <bekks> Why would that be an error at all?
[20:21] <sarnold> it makes testing utopic a little harder.. :)
[20:21] <bekks> There are no repos for utopic until now, arent they? :)
[20:21] <roadmr> bekks: 1) I download and try to install a utopic image, 2) it fails because it thinks it's trusty, 3) i can't really install
[20:22] <sarnold> at least some packages have already diverged, e.g. mariadb-5.5...
[20:23] <roadmr> bekks: again, at this point it's not a big deal, but it may be as simple as changing some strings from trusty to utopic in the image
[20:23] <bekks> That wont help, as long as there arent repos for utopic.
[20:24] <Lightsword> transmission-cli has a flag for running a script when it finishes downloading, is there a script that does the equivalent of ctrl-c to end the running application in the shell?
[20:25] <sarnold> Lightsword: there is probably an easier way to get it to die, but if you can't find one, pkill transmission-cli  will probably do it
[20:26] <roadmr> bekks: where will the utopic repos be when they become available?
[20:26] <bekks> On the official server, I guess.
[20:26] <sarnold> bekks: they've been live for a while http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
[20:27] <bekks> Neat :)
[20:29] <bekks> Time to setup a test vm and fire up do-release-upgrade -d :)
[20:30] <sarnold> or try out the daily isos? :)
[20:31] <bekks> :P
[20:35] <rberg_> Lightsword: aria2 is something to look at as well
[20:41] <Lightsword> rberg, I think that works
[20:48] <illsci> hey whats up...
[20:48] <illsci> I'm getting an error trying to use the ubuntu ami's apt repos in aws...  I saw a post online that said there's someone in here that knows who talk to to get it fixed?
[20:48] <illsci> Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_saucy-updates_main_source_Sources  Hash Sum mismatch
[20:49] <illsci> anyone know how to get this fixed...?
[20:52] <sarnold> illsci: are you using apt-cacher-ng?
[20:52] <illsci> no... just apt-get update
[20:52] <illsci> im not sure what that is
[20:53] <sarnold> illsci: apt-cacher-ng is a local cache; I ran it for a while, right up until it started returning corrupted archives all the time :/
[20:53] <sarnold> illsci: you'd probably know if you were running it
[20:54] <sarnold> illsci: thanks, it's being investigated :)
[20:55] <illsci> thanks!
[20:55] <jpds> sarnold: You don't use squid-deb-proxy ?
[20:56] <sarnold> jpds: I use squid-deb-proxy now :)
[20:56] <sarnold> jpds: I miss the handy little stats screen but I love the fact that it doesn't destroy my debs :)
[20:57] <jpds> Who needs debs anyway.
[21:00] <Patrickdk> heh, squid kills so many things
[21:00] <Patrickdk> sarnold, really?
[21:01] <Patrickdk> Ive been using apt-cacher-ng for since I dropped squid years ago
[21:01] <Patrickdk> been working great
[21:01] <sarnold> Patrickdk: acng worked fine for two or three releases and I didn't do much investigation, just switched to squid, and kept going...
[21:02] <dw1> /usr/share/mdadm/mkconf says ARRAY /dev/md1 UUID=xxxxx:xxxxx:xxxxx:xxxxx but the default in /etc/mdadm/mdadmconf set up by my provider is ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 devices=/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1 -- unattended-upgrades warns me about my array UUID not existing in mdadm.conf .. so.. which is better?  the mkconf or the provider one?
[21:02] <dw1> is there any benefit to specifying the level, num-devices and devices explicitly?
[21:02] <patdk-lap> squid kept killing me on 10.04, changed out to apt-cacher-ng, haven't had any issues since
[21:03] <patdk-lap> dwl, to help it autodetect, if you use older version metadata
[21:04] <jpds> Patrickdk: I too switch from apt-cacher-ng (and seen so many problems with it with customers) to s-d-p.
[21:04] <dw1> patdk-lap: hmmm
[21:04] <sarnold> patdk-lap: when you get problems with it, here's the bug to me-too  :) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-cacher-ng/+bug/1234946
[21:09] <patdk-lap> I only have that version installed in one place, here at home
[21:10] <patdk-lap> it's not overly used
[21:30] <illsci> its fixed... thanks!
[21:30] <pmatulis_> anyone else on trusty kvm host failing to have libvirt dnsmasq resolve guest names?
[21:31] <sarnold> pmatulis_: heh, I had that problem, but realized it was because I had taken libvirt's dnsmasq out of resolv.conf ages back and just hard-coded IP address in /etc/hosts. major egg on my face when my co-workers said it all worked for them. sigh. :)
[21:32] <pmatulis_> sarnold: but resolv.conf is not managed directly since precise
[21:35] <pmatulis_> sarnold: on my working saucy host i have static tcp address and dns-nameservers points to a dns server (so resolv.conf points to it).  on my busted trusty i am using dhcp and my resolv.conf contains 127.0.0.1.  at any rate, 'host <guest name> 192.168.122.1' does not work
[21:36] <patdk-lap> sarnold, maybe it's just fixed in 14.04? apt-cacher-ng is 7.26
[21:36] <patdk-lap> so far I haven't seen that issue at all
[21:36] <patdk-lap> any idea how to replicate it better?
[21:37] <patdk-lap> I normally update one machine at a time
[22:34] <Kawaiola> Has anyone had any problems connecting to the outside world after setting up a static ip
[22:35] <Kawaiola> I removed the DHCP packages and still can't get out
[22:36] <Ben64> sounds more like a networking problem than an ubuntu problem
[22:37] <Kawaiola> Ben64, Could very well be the ubuntu server I'm building is virtual could that be the issue
[22:38] <Kawaiola> Ben64, I can connect to the server ssh and see it on my network I only have issues connecting to the outside world.
[22:39] <Ben64> yes, could very well be the fact that it is a VM that is causing it. they normally have strange network setups and dhcp is the easiest way to get them working
[22:41] <Kawaiola> Ben64, Hmmmm I wonder if there are other packages I need to remove because I know you can't remove virtual packages you have to remove the packages they are linked too.
[22:42] <Kawaiola> Ben64, You think I need resolvconf?
[22:43] <Ben64> why are you removing a bunch of stuff anyway?
[22:47] <Kawaiola> Ben64, Well when I was looking on the internet they said there is a DHCP client that does DHCP no matter what which explained why my static interface would always fail when I would resart the network interfaces
[22:47] <dw1> how can I suppress the error message from unattended-upgrades about mdadm.conf not containing my raid array?  (the array is defined, but not using UUID that it checks for)
[22:47] <Kawaiola> Ben64, So then I removed the DHCP packages and the static IP took and I could connect to it on my network.
[22:48] <Ben64> ok, but why static ip on a VM anyway
[22:49] <Kawaiola> Ben64, Because it is still a server I will use to host web based applications.
[22:52] <Ben64> you should read more into the guide for whatever you're using to create the VM, I'm sure they have a big section on networking.
[22:53] <Kawaiola> Ben64, I run virtual windows servers and they work great I have dedicated linux servers that are wonderful but trying to make a virtual linux server seems to be difficult haha
[22:53] <Kawaiola> Ben64, yeah I'm doing that right now.
[22:58] <sarnold> pmatulis_: do you have a dnsmasq listening on e.g. 192.168.122.1?
[22:58] <sarnold> patdk-lap: I quite often updated a dozen or so machines at once with my apt-cacher-ng
[23:00] <paco1> hello guys
[23:01] <paco1> on my servers i have 12.04. i migrated from 3.8 kernel to 3.11 kernel. So, how can i clean all from 3.8 kernel? it eats me some disk space.
[23:01] <paco1> thanks very much!
[23:02] <sarnold> paco1: apt-get purge linux-headers-<version> linux-image-<version> linux-image-extra-<version> for each version that you want removed
[23:02] <sarnold> paco1: I recommend keeping at least two versions installed -- at least the version you're currently running, and the newest -- or, if you're running the newest, then the newest and the next newest.
[23:03] <sarnold> having two kernels can help you recover from some kinds of accidents
[23:04] <paco1> sarnold: ok, but i want delete/remove completly the 3.8 kernel, i don't want more actualization of this kernel.
[23:04] <Ben64> then remove whichever packages you deem unnecessary
[23:06] <sarnold> paco1: ah, then you may also wish to remove the linux-source-3.8, linux-headers-3.8, linux-image-3.8, etc. packages
[23:06] <paco1> sarnold: one thing to move on a config file?
[23:07] <sarnold> paco1: more apt-get purge commands
[23:13] <pmatulis_> sarnold: yup
[23:13] <sarnold> pmatulis_: crazy, so it's listening but can't provide reasonable answers? ;/
[23:14] <pmatulis_> dnsmasq    2815 libvirt-dnsmasq    6u  IPv4  18611      0t0  UDP 192.168.122.1:53
[23:14] <sarnold> pmatulis_: do you have lxc and libvirt installed at the same time? I found that gave me real issues in previous releases, I haven't been brave enough to try both again
[23:14] <pmatulis_> sarnold: indeed i do
[23:17] <paco1> sarnold: ok, thanks
[23:18] <sarnold> paco1: you're welcome :) have fun
[23:22] <pmatulis_> sarnold: and the resolution for containers works (dnsmasq server ip being 10.0.3.1)
[23:24] <pmatulis_> stgraber: any idea? ↑
