| daftykins | yay done at last :P | 00:28 |
|---|---|---|
| penguin42 | hehe | 00:29 |
| daftykins | didn't take that long naturally, just #ubuntu support delays me :> | 00:31 |
| daftykins | midnight of monday morning is the new time \o/ | 00:31 |
| wizzkidd | penguin42: hi, are you still around? i just managed to boot from my usb at last. lol | 01:33 |
| penguin42 | heyhey | 01:33 |
| penguin42 | wizzkidd: However back a few hours ago you thought you'd just lost two or three files and that's an easy fix, but then we figured out that everything was segfaulting left and right | 01:34 |
| wizzkidd | penguin42: indeed, so I guess the path I need to go down, and do with some assistance with is, reinstalling over the top? is that possible? | 01:34 |
| penguin42 | wizzkidd: Why over-the-top rather than nuke and start from clean? | 01:35 |
| wizzkidd | penguin42: tbh I have installed and configured so much, and really didnt want to start from fresh :/ | 01:35 |
| daftykins | wizzkidd: long drive out to it, was it? :( | 01:35 |
| penguin42 | wizzkidd: That might be tricky unless you've got /home on a separate partition and it's still risky | 01:36 |
| wizzkidd | penguin42: i have a backup of home :) | 01:36 |
| penguin42 | wizzkidd: OK, so nuke it and reinstall home | 01:36 |
| wizzkidd | *gulp* | 01:37 |
| wizzkidd | a question a little off track... i've previously installed xrdp and xfce onto ubuntu server 15.10 and can rdp from my windows machine to the serverf fine. In the past I made sure that I had installed the "ubuntu-desktop" package as a pre-req assuming this is probably vital (or contains vital packages) for the xrdp to work. Does anyone know if "ubuntu-desktop" is required for xrdp to work (bearing in mind that I use xrdp with t | 01:44 |
| daftykins | that's a bit of a shotgun approach | 01:45 |
| daftykins | ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage that contains all the cruft like libre-office and so on | 01:46 |
| daftykins | but you have a remotely hosted server and you're installing GUI components? i would not be doing that :) | 01:46 |
| wizzkidd | daftykins: its not remotely hosted, its my own physical machine, although i hardly physically use it, i tend to use web gui's and ssh as much as possible | 01:52 |
| daftykins | so when you said you couldn't reset it earlier, it was just in another room? | 01:53 |
| wizzkidd | daftykins: I was at work, so yeah. I was asking in order to see if I could learn something new, as you do :) | 01:54 |
| wizzkidd | daftykins: i found it hard to lessen the amount of urgency in my voice(typing) lol | 01:54 |
| daftykins | experiment on non-vital systems XD | 01:56 |
| wizzkidd | daftykins: agreed!! | 01:56 |
| wizzkidd | daftykins: although we all learn from our mistakes. I'm in the process of rebuilding the physical, but also rebuilding a VM too :) | 01:57 |
| daftykins | sounds like a plan, i nearly said if it were a VM there'd have been a method of control | 01:58 |
| wizzkidd | daftykins: If i screwed up again in the future, I'm hoping that with the VM, I can possibly V2P it which hopefully would speed up the rebuild process (should it ever need to be done AGAIN) | 01:59 |
| daftykins | that sounds pretty odd an approach to me | 02:00 |
| daftykins | run the services in a VM, snapshot prior to doing risky things | 02:00 |
| daftykins | or backup often :> | 02:00 |
| wizzkidd | daftykins: yes, of course I will snapshot as and when. But im talking about a way to do DR on the physical server in the shortest time frame | 02:01 |
| wizzkidd | if the VM dies, thats no big deal cause I can roll back | 02:02 |
| daftykins | well if you really cared, you'd have a reliable disk setup with some redundancy | 02:03 |
| wizzkidd | i have zfs setup for raid0 and my backups save to that location | 02:06 |
| daftykins | RAID 0? you've got to be kidding | 02:06 |
| wizzkidd | sorry, RAID1 | 02:07 |
| daftykins | i'm going to sleep now, DR has nothing to do with that setup :> | 02:07 |
| wizzkidd | ok | 02:07 |

| wizzkidd | hi i recently performed a reinstallation of ubuntu 15.10 over the top of my current 15.10 install which I was having problems with. I'm just reinstalling some of the programs I had previously, however I think my previous OS had a newer kernel, uname -r shows me "4.2.0-040200-generic" but I think when I compile anything, it is using the currently installed kernel which is "4.2.0-18-generic". Can anyone assist me out of this sti | 20:50 |
