keithzg...or not; it won't even boot the installer then. Hrmm.00:48
hallynpmatulis: hey - that box you had htat wouldn't boot after launching a lxd container, was it launched from a cloud image by chance?00:59
neon_v0idHey, everyone. I have a small issue with my Ubuntu server. I recently uninstalled the Mumble server I was running on it, and now I keep getting mail about the "murmurd" start-stop-daemon. That /usr/sbin/murmurd can't start because there's no such file or directory. How can I get my server to stop trying to run murmurd at startup?01:20
tarpmanneon_v0id: 1) purge the package (vs just removing it) - the initscript is a conffile, therefore not removed unless you purge. 2) file a bug - the initscript should not try to start a daemon that isn't installed01:28
neon_v0idtarpman, thanks. I've run the purge and hopefully I wont get any more mail messages about mumble/murmurd :)01:35

hallynpmatulis: can you check whether removing /etc/network/interfaces.d/* and putting the eth0 definition in /etc/network/interfaces fixes it for you?03:50
hallynit fixed it for me at any rate03:51
pmatulishallyn: i copied contents of .d/eth0 into interfaces file and moved eth0 out of the way. rebooted fine. did 'lxc launch ubuntu:' and rebooted. same problem as before04:12

pmatulishallyn: there appears to be some kernel module problems, dunno04:14

amigoo89hey guys, I am currently running an ubuntu VPS machine. For a few days/weeks already, when I want to access my server either via HTTP or SSH, it starts to load for the FIRST TIME very slow, like if it is sleeping/standby. As soon as the machne woke up, it works properly and fast. what could be the reason for it?10:50
vagarwal_I see that oddjob-mkhomedir is available in xenial but not in trusty. Is there an alternative or a backport available for oddjob-mkhomedir in trusty?11:01

saftblandarnThat solved it. Thanks!12:35
cariboujgrimm: FYI, vsftpd is now uploaded & into the archive12:58

jamespagecoreycb, hey paramiko 1.16 is not backporting for the UCA - needs some extra deps13:43

coreycbjamespage, on it13:43
jamespagecoreycb, oh for next cycle we should consider how the archive re-org thing can help us remove more delta with debian13:44
jamespagecoreycb, bd's that don't translate into runtime depends can still be in universe...13:44
coreycbjamespage, I need to catch up on the archive re-org13:45
coreycbjamespage, that is interesting13:45
jamespagecoreycb, it could really help us13:45
coreycbjamespage, yeah, so we could potentially drop a lot of BDs from main?13:45
jamespagecoreycb, that will have happened anyway13:46
jamespageno action required13:46
coreycbnice13:46
jamespagecoreycb, we can re-add a load that we manage via delta13:46
coreycbjamespage, it seems like something we can naturally assess perhaps as we work through merges next cycle13:47

macskayhi guys, i have a ubuntu 14.04 lts server and it takes a long time to respond to commands, such as up to 20 seconds when using "ls -al" for a small directory.15:03
macskayUsing "ls" only is done immediately. I tried rebooting but then my server didnt come back.15:03
macskayIt seemed an error in mounting the partition but checking the drive's smart values didnt show any faults.15:03
macskay I rebooted in "recovery mode" and all commands are executed right away (even "ls -al")15:03
macskaywhen mounting the partition and using "chroot /mnt" the repsonse time goes back up again. What could that be?15:03
macskayI tried "top" and "dmesg" but noghint shows up in there15:03
ppetrakimacskay, what does strace say?15:04
macskayone sec ill jhave a look15:04
rbasakmacskay: if you've rebooted dmesg is lost. Check /var/log/kern.log.15:04
ppetrakimacskay,  strace -t -f -s 4096 {CMD} &> logfile15:05
ppetrakishould tell you were it's spending its time and be pretty verbose about it15:06
macskayppetraki: Here's the logfile: https://www.refheap.com/117490, rbasak /var/log/kern.log was last changed 3 days ago15:08
rbasakI don't know but it sounds like some kind of local corruption or hardware fault to me.15:09
rbasakHave you forced an fsck?15:09
macskayhm not that i know of no, should I do one?15:10
rbasakI would.15:10
macskaythe strange thing is, why would it be ok in the recovery mode?15:10
rbasakA reboot might have cleared an underlying problem.15:11
rbasakEspecially for a hardware fault.15:11

ppetrakimacskay, a lot of ldap timeouts15:13
macskayyeah15:13
macskayi installed ldap yesterday, but removed it again15:13
macskayit kept timing out15:13
macskayeven though i deinstalled it15:13
ppetrakiI don't know how you uninstalled it, but it still looks like it's part of the auth stack15:14
ppetrakia fsck is a good idea, start from a sane place15:15
macskaysudo apt-get remove --purge slapd15:15
ppetrakimacskay, it looks like you're going to have to manually remove ldap from the auth stack. theres a lot of "im trying to connect to localhost over socket and nobody is there to receive"15:21
ppetrakimacskay, port 389 is ldap15:22
macskaythat might actually be the problem, because it started lagging after I "removed" ldap15:22
ppetrakimacskay, so opinion is find a decent howto on ldap and reverse the steps15:22
* ppetraki is not fluent in auth anymore15:23
macskayhm yes that seems about right15:23
ppetrakihope that helps15:23
macskayi'll try that15:23
macskayand keep you posted if it helped or not15:23
macskaythanks !15:23

DammitJimis there a fix for the samba - badlock bug? I am on 14.0417:20

DammitJimok, so we are looking at about a week17:22
DammitJimthanks!17:22
sdezielDammitJim: if you could test the -proposed packages that would be ideal17:23
DammitJimsdeziel, when something like this comes up, what page should I be looking at?17:23
DammitJimsdeziel, I'm going to try to because I know it might require me to make other changes17:23
randymarsh9hello17:23
randymarsh9what's a good command line browser?17:24
DammitJimlynx17:25
sdezielDammitJim: those versions upgrade are very infrequent. I don't know if there is a official communication channel for those but the -server mailing list might be a good place to look at17:25
DammitJimah! server mailing list17:26
sarnoldrandymarsh9: I prefer w3m, I think it does a better job with tables. none are entirely pleasing.17:39
randymarsh9DammitJim: seems to be the most popular choice17:40
randymarsh9sarnold: will give that a try, thanks17:40

randymarsh9sarnold: dang i can even scroll with my mousoe17:44
randymarsh9mouse*17:44
randymarsh9good stuff17:44
sarnoldoh yeah, and I have a vague memory of that getting annoying when you just want to select/paste like a normal application..17:45
sarnoldrandymarsh9: w3m-img can even load images into xterms and other similarly-featured terminals. scary.17:46
randymarsh9sarnold: i did "apt-get install w3m-img", it downloaded and installed but when i type w3m-img into my terminal and hit return it says "command not found"17:53
randymarsh9what am i doing wrong?17:53
naccrandymarsh9: doesn't htat just install the extension? the command is still w3m17:54
naccafaict17:54
randymarsh9nacc: it very well may. i have no idea how to use it though17:57
randymarsh9do i need to use a different ssh client for images to load?17:57
randymarsh9or can i still use putty17:57
sarnoldthe -mouse- works over an ssh via putty??17:58
RoyKiirc no18:03
RoyKbut I think it might work with kitty18:03
RoyKand then there's this new ubuntu-on-windows thing that might be worth trying18:04
RoyKrandymarsh9: the command is w3m, not w3m-img18:06
RoyKor perhaps w3mimgdisplay18:07
randymarsh9sarnold: in w3m it does. i can click links and even scroll using the mouse wheel18:07
randymarsh9RoyK: on 0.62 it is working18:07
RoyKrandymarsh9: then possibly xming is doing that18:07
sarnoldrandymarsh9: crazy. I didn't really expect that to work via putty. :)18:07
randymarsh9using screen18:08
randymarsh9dont know if that has anything to do with it18:08
sarnoldhaha, that is also surprising :)18:08
randymarsh9sarnold: actually no i take that back, if you are using screen it won't scroll but if you just launch w3m from terminal in putty then it does18:11
randymarsh9if you have a screen session open then it just scrolls up your terminal18:12
=== unreal_ is now known as unreal
randymarsh9RoyK: i tried w3m-img thinking that will load the images18:14

RoyKafaics, it's not part of that package18:14
RoyKtry dpkg -L w3m-img18:14
sarnoldrandymarsh9: I really don't think images are going to load via putty. it uses xterm extensions to draw them.. I'm stunned the mouse even works.18:15
RoyKsarnold: with xming, it should work well18:15
sarnoldRoyK: heh is that still a thing? :)18:15

randymarsh9sarnold: xterm is an ssh client for unix systems?18:18
RoyKno...18:19
RoyKit's a terminal18:19
sarnoldrandymarsh9: no. xterm is a terminal emulator.18:19
sarnoldrandymarsh9: windows doesn't really have an equivalent, or at least not explicitly..18:19
randymarsh9sarnold: command prompt?18:20
randymarsh9that would be my guess18:20
RoyKterminals are abstracted in the unix world, and has a truckload of functionality hardcoded into cmd and the likes in windows18:20
sarnoldrandymarsh9: except cmd.exe is .. well, like xterm glued together with bash. sortof.18:20

RoyKhttp://www.extremetech.com/computing/226280-first-look-hands-on-with-ubuntu-on-windows-1018:21
randymarsh9don't all terminals have bash/some userspace glued with it anyway?18:21
RoyKno, bash is another executable18:22
RoyKsuch as dash or zsh or csh or whatever18:22
RoyKchs is rather old-school :)18:23
sarnold.. or skip running the shell entirely and just start programs directly, e.g. xterm -e mutt   will start mutt directly inthe terminal without a shell first18:23
patdk-wkwhy xterm?18:23
randymarsh9what good is a terminal with no userspace?18:23
patdk-wkjust have the kernel run mutt instead of init :)18:23
* RoyK slaps patdk-wk with a small herring18:24
patdk-wkif your running xterm, you long ago had userspace18:24
RoyKrandymarsh9: everything is userspace18:24
randymarsh9RoyK: i'm confused18:24
patdk-wka *shell* != userspace18:24
RoyKkernelspace is about system calls and so on18:24
RoyKa shell lives in userspace18:25
sarnoldrandymarsh9: each shell brings with it a certain amount of used memory; if you never use it you can save the memory. granted the kernel will swap it out eventually but each one takes one to six megs or so..18:25
patdk-wkuserspace is about privilege separation18:25
randymarsh9ok i have the wrong definition of userspace18:26
RoyKx86/x64 have four privilege levels - most OSes uses two18:26
* patdk-wk lives at ring018:27
sdezielhow about ring -1?18:27
randymarsh9what's the point of bringing bash to windows?18:28
RoyKsdeziel: the über-ring with only gods in it? ;)18:28
randymarsh9does that let me download and run unix programs?18:28
RoyKrandymarsh9: not back - it never was there in the irst place18:28
sarnoldrandymarsh9: so you're not stuck trying to deal with terrible cmd.exe or baffling powershell18:28
ogra_it comes with apt ;)18:28
randymarsh9RoyK: i said bringing bash not back18:28
RoyKdoh - I misread18:29
randymarsh9so i can run w3m on windows if i want to?18:29
RoyKrandymarsh9: the point is that it combines the power of unices with windoze18:29
sarnoldprobably18:29
randymarsh9and lynx and all the other cool programs?18:29
sarnoldgranted those may work today via cygwin18:29
sarnoldbut the new windows personality modes sounds nicer18:29
RoyKrandymarsh9: works well if you really need windows and can't go with linux as your primary18:29
randymarsh9so windows is coming up with a bash emulator of sorts?18:29
ogra_The whole ubuntu archive (theoretically)18:29
randymarsh9except it is much more official than that?18:30
RoyKrandymarsh9: nah - it's an API that translates linux systemcalls to windows' ones18:30
randymarsh9is windows going to let ubuntu do the same thing?18:30
ogra_no, it adds Linux syscall translation to the windows kernel18:30
sarnoldrandymarsh9: in some sense, linux did the same thing two decades ago, first with 'dosbox' then with 'wine'18:31
ogra_then there is an app in the windows store that lets you install a minimal ubuntu system thatships bash and apt18:31
RoyKsarnold++18:31
randymarsh9sarnold: dosbox was a unix thing?18:32
ogra_so you can apt install anything from the archive18:32
ogra_(not everything might run though )18:32
RoyKogra_: and most of it will probably work? ;)18:32
randymarsh9i thought dosbox was created to run old dos programs on new versions of windows18:32
randymarsh9since dos was removed after windows 200018:32
randymarsh9in xp it was no longer there i think18:33
ogra_I'd assume most cmdline tools will work eventually... Including lynx and w3m18:33
sarnoldrandymarsh9: sure, apt-cache show dosbox   :)18:34
sarnoldhunh, initial release in 2002..18:35
sarnoldah there we go, dosemu, initial release September 1992; 23 years ago18:35
RoyKno idea if the initial release was for win or linux, but it seems to run on most things18:35
RoyKsarnold: ah - probably not someone that wanted dos games to run on winnt/os2 :D18:36
RoyKthat is, winnt came in '9318:37
sarnoldhehe18:37
RoyKsarnold: I remember someone trying to show us (at the time I was working a day a week for practice during school) the benefits of winnt 3.1 as a fileserver - how brilliant it was - but then, a wee test comparing simple file copying with that and the current netware (3.12 iirc) showed it was slower by far, about half the speed or so18:40
sarnoldRoyK: yeah, I remember those ancient netware systems fondly.. the nt 4.0 server we had reset every thursday and we never figured out why.18:42
