[01:05] <Mundus2018> What flags would I use with sort to sort this by largest size to smallest? http://termbin.com/ahcu
[01:07] <crazyadm> how do i make a service to start at bootup
[01:10] <crazyadm> anyone know
[01:11] <pmatulis> Mundus2018, change the unit from human readable to kb, then pipe it through the 'sort' command
[01:14] <pmatulis> crazyadm, what release of ubuntu are you using?
[01:14] <Mundus2018> ok
[01:16] <patdk-lap> du -s | sort -nr
[01:20] <Mundus2018> thanks man
[01:32] <crazyadm> pmatulis: Linux ubuntuacer 4.4.0-38-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 6 15:41:41 UTC 2016 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
[01:34] <crazyadm> is there general solution to make services start at bootup
[01:41] <crazyadm> pmatulis?
[02:02] <pmatulis> crazyadm, use the init system that your OS is using. you have kernel 4.4. that sounds like xenial. so systemd
[02:06] <crazyadm> yes what's the command?
[02:06] <crazyadm> turn on and off services at bootup
[02:06] <crazyadm> i don't need details
[02:06] <crazyadm> i don't really care about details, you know
[02:07] <crazyadm> some use init.d some systemd, some systemctl
[02:07] <crazyadm> some rc.d
[02:07] <crazyadm> means nothing to me
[02:18] <pmatulis> i don't know offhand. i would need to google for it. so i won't google for you crazyadm
[02:20] <crazyadm> ok thanks
[02:21] <arrrghhh> hey all.  I had /var mounted on a separate disk, and upon reboot it seems this disk is now not mounting.  I managed to comment out the line in fstab and get the server to boot, but of course basically every application is broken... is it possible to fix this, or is a reinstall my only recourse?
[04:21] <tikund> wtf... I just updated the kernel on my server and it remapped/changed every hard drive dev name
[04:21] <tikund> thankfully I have LOM configured
[04:27] <tikun> ls
[04:44] <tarpman> tikun: that's why it's so strongly recommended to configure everything with uuids these days instead of device paths ... that can happen
[04:45] <tikun> yeah..... that is very true.
[05:10] <krupke> tikun: do you have an LSI hba in your server?
[05:11] <tikun> hp smart array p410
[05:12] <tikun> and an external drive connected via usb, tacky I know but eh. fits the rest of the data center with MyCloud's all over the place.
[05:13] <krupke> does the controller load mpt3sas module?
[05:14] <tikun> it does not
[05:17] <krupke> i upgraded to 4.4.0 kernel and same thing happened.
[05:17] <tikun> looks like it is using hpsa
[05:17] <tikun> really?
[05:17] <tikun> oh wait
[05:17] <tikun> a second
[05:17] <tikun> even the uuid changed!
[05:18] <tikun> even >A< uuid changed
[05:18] <tikun> root partition would have been sdb from the install, but it became sda
[05:18] <tikun> but it is listed in the fstab as a uuid
[05:18] <tikun> so yeah, that's odd. lol
[05:21] <krupke> fstab maps uuid to mountpoint so dev name becomes irrelevant
[05:21] <krupke> still, it's annoying
[05:23] <tikun> it took me a bit to figure out what was even going on, apache wasn't running at first.. I thought it was some networking issue at first, then noticed it couldn't load log paths/www_root paths, then my backup drive was mounted as /, my main raid volume was mounted as my backup drive, it was all messed up
[07:21] <cpaelzer> jamespag`: fyi I found a way to do the l2fwd test in dpdk without killing the network
[07:21] <cpaelzer> jamespag`: I now spawn two virtual non connected networks for a KVM guest and run the test in there connecting the two virtual networks
[07:22] <cpaelzer> test works fine as it was, and no more kills our network by running "too good" doing L2 forwarding from/to the same network
[15:51] <lunaphyte> i'm trying to upgrade from 15.04.  for some reason, do-release-upgrade finds 16.04 [xenial] instead of 15.10 [wily], and then refuses to upgrade.  i don't understand why it's not finding 15.10.  how can i troubleshoot why this is happening and/or how can i tell the system to upgrade to 15.10 instead 16.04?
[15:51] <lunaphyte> http://dpaste.com/1ZJCXR0.txt
[15:51] <nacc> !eol | lunaphyte
[15:51] <nacc> lunaphyte: that's probably why, as 15.10 is also eol
[15:52] <lunaphyte> this must be some new behavior?
[15:52] <nacc> lunaphyte: only update to 15.10 if you intend to immediately update to 16.04
[15:52] <lunaphyte> yes, that's the plan
[15:52] <ogra_> not new, no
[15:52] <nacc> lunaphyte: i don't think it's new behavior at all
[15:52] <nacc> lunaphyte: you are on an eol release trying to upgrade to an eol release
[15:53] <nacc> lunaphyte: the release tools only allow upgrading to released versions
[15:53] <lunaphyte> it sure is.  i've upgraded countless computers over the years many versions behind, by iterating t hrough the upgrade to each successive version
[15:54] <nacc> lunaphyte: possibly using the eol upgrade path?
[15:54] <nacc> lunaphyte: that ubottu provided a link to
[15:54] <nacc> lunaphyte: why are you letting countless computers fall out of support?
[15:56] <lunaphyte> support for what?
[15:59] <lunaphyte> when i point sources.list to old-releases, apt-get update returns a bunch of 404/not found errors
[16:00] <lunaphyte> presumably this is because vivid is not currently provided for at the old-releases url.
[16:03] <lunaphyte> and do-release-upgrade still tries to upgrade to xenial
[16:04] <lunaphyte> i guess it's possible this is a timing thing, and i've just coincidentally never run into it until now
[16:05] <lunaphyte> but that would be a little surprising
[16:08] <tarpman> lunaphyte: could be this is the first time you've been bitten by the support duration dropping from 18 months to 9
[16:08] <lunaphyte> i don't get it though
[16:08] <lunaphyte> so 15.04 is an old release - that's fine.
[16:08] <lunaphyte> then why are there no package repos at old-releases?
[16:09] <lunaphyte> yet they are still listed, and still fully functional at us.archive.ubuntu.com - so which is it, you know?
[16:10] <tarpman> moving them to old-releases is a manual thing. I guess no one got around to it yet
[16:10] <tarpman> no idea about why your do-release-upgrade isn't cooperating though, sorry :|
[16:12] <lunaphyte> it's all good.  i'll see if anyone in #ubuntu-release has any thoughts
[17:01] <hdon> hi all :) does xenial put mysqld's lock file somewhere weird? or does it tell mysqld to use a specific configuration file? i can't start mysqld from the command-line the way i normally would (say, to reset root password)
[17:23] <Braven> I have a multihone server. I only want one of the IF to register in DNS. Is there a way to prevent a IF from registering
