zetaDoes ubuntu server need as much swap as there are ram ? (it is the default!) Thinking of resizing the swap from 32 GB  (on a 40 GB SSD) because I'm running out of disk space on root07:38
sarnoldzeta: 1 or 2 gigs would be best07:39
sarnoldif you need more swap than that then there's something wrong with the amount of hardware you're using for the job :)07:40
JanCor just use swap files instead07:43
sarnoldalso fine choice07:44
sarnoldthe defaults are terrible though, no two ways around that07:44
JanCthe defaults are so that you can suspend, I guess, but that's probably less useful for most servers...07:45
zetawanted to double check because of the default07:47
zetathere might be use cases for hibernation, but I'm not using it07:48

nea1hi, I have a Cloud Image based server, where I configured a bridge (br-mgmt) and after rebooting I haven't found a single error in the logs, but br-mgmt is down - `systemctl restart networking` solves the Problem, anyone with an idea what could be wrong?10:15

cpaelzerit was actually good for 2 weeks, but one of the dependent dep8 failed due to OOM11:56
cpaelzerthanks to apw this got a test on a bigger machine and migrated now11:56
cpaelzerapw: btw - is there any flag that coreycb / zul could add to d/t/* mark this test to need more ressources ?11:57
apwcpaelzer, nope, this is a per package hint server side11:58
cpaelzerapw: is the hint you added persistent now ?12:00
apwcpaelzer, yes12:04
zulfrickler:its been fixed in zesty12:06
fricklerzul: looks like it at least would need another sync into ocata UCA, then. getting a fix for Newton, which we are currently deploying, would be even better12:26
zulfrickler: yeah i might add it to the next SRU cycle thats probably going to happen this week12:27

BlackDexhello, i'm trying to fix my own ipv6 router/tunnel/gateway13:22
BlackDexi have a server which has an ipv6 subnet13:23
BlackDexon that server i created a inet tunnel mode sit13:24
BlackDexi created a v4tunnel on the client side13:24
BlackDexthat all seems to go well13:24
BlackDexi can connect13:24
BlackDexi can even ping a local ipv6 on the server and get response13:25
BlackDexbut if i want to ping to google on ipv6 for instance it stops13:25
BlackDexi allowed forwarding in the v6 iptables, if i add logging i see the request is getting there13:25
BlackDexalso tcpdump shows this13:26
BlackDexbut it is not passing the request, like it is not routering it or something13:26
BlackDexi also have enabled the net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding13:26
BlackDexso what am i missing?13:26

rbasakcpaelzer: I can set the upstream AppArmor task to Invalid. But I can't do anything with the other two.13:47

BrianBlaze420good morning14:50
BrianBlaze420I am curious if there is a "fully updated" iso of older versions of ubuntu server14:50
BrianBlaze420I am looking for ubuntu 8 LTS updated as much as it could be and am curious if such things exist?14:50
BrianBlaze420upon further looking up it seems that Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS is the final version :)14:55

OerHeksBrianBlaze420, there is no fully updated server iso, you * could *  do the old-releases trick, just for testing15:03

drabanother problem I'm getting with preseeding is if I'm trying to reinstall a box that had disks with raid on it16:05
drabit seems like mdadm will detect the raid and set the device up, at which point the installation fails because "resource is busy"16:05
drabI have to get onto another console, dd the MBR/kill the raid, and then reboot/re pxe and it works16:06
drabgoogling around it seems people have had a similar problem and are basically doing the same with a d-i early command, but that seems kinda nasty...16:07
drabdoes anybody know fo a better solution?16:07
drabthis is basically a similar problem to the one I was asking the other day with the installer failing because there was no "root" partition defined, which is just a symtpom of not wiping the disk and repartition but trying to reuse what's there16:08
patdk-wkyou can reuse what is there16:09
patdk-wkbut you still have to label to the installer what partition is should be installed with what16:09
patdk-wkassign root, boot, swap, maybe home, var, usr, ...16:10
drabpatdk-wk: that's the thing, I don't want, these disks were from another system. And in pretty much all the cases I have I don't care about reusing16:15
drabquite the opposite, I wish there was just a "nuke" option16:15
drabthat stopped asking so many questions and just simply wiped and reinstalled everything completely disregarding what's there16:15
patdk-wkthere is16:15
drabI knwo what you're talking about, doesn't work for me it seems, maybe I'm doing something wrong16:15
drabI think I know*16:16
drabd-i partman/confirm , partman/confirm_nooverwrite16:17
drabis that what you had in mind?16:17
drabalso to make matters worse with preseeding it seems the ubiquity installer doesn't honor a whole bunch :(, but I guess that's not a ubuntu-server problem16:19

tewardpowersj: ohai18:39
powersjteward: hi18:39
tewardpowersj: thanks again for your triage work on NGINX bugs, but when the error is 'nginx.conf missing' it's able to be considered Invalid, because that's not a package issue, usually a system-specific issue but not a bug and easy to work around18:40
powersjteward: ah that makes sense. Sorry I have a habit of moving to incomplete to let the user try to fix that and get back to us.18:41
tewardpowersj: no problem :)18:41
powersjDid you already fix that up?18:41
tewardpowersj: there's also a few other cases as well to point out18:42
teward"address in use" as "cannot bind to :80" is also an Invalid18:42
tewardand I think a few others that *should* already be caught by the apport hooks I wrote18:42
tewardprobably gonna have to update them after the merge18:42
tewardpowersj: and yep I did18:42
tewardand provided the workaround18:42
powersjok, thanks for that list I'll add those to my notes18:42
tewardpowersj: no problem, hope you don't mind me poking18:43
teward:)18:43
powersjteward: please do :) appreciate it18:43
tewardI should probably document NGINX-specific bug triage things on the wiki18:43
teward'cause there's a few cases that are known to show up occasionally but aren't package issues18:43
teward(and especially show up on VPSes built from a premade KVM or OVZ image)18:43
tewardpowersj: far be it for me to tell the Canonical Server Team what to do, but... :P18:44
powersjhaha18:44
tewardi do appreciate the triage work though, it helps me quickly weed out the evil ones18:44
tewardand then focus on actual bugs18:44
tewardcurrent focus: nginx merge from Debian18:44
tewardnow that the several hours of evil PIE-failure debugging is fixed heh18:45
tewardbut first, my midterm studying needs done.18:45
powersj:) good luck18:45
tewardmeh not really that hard18:46
tewardjust have to 'start over' like we did for 14.04 and build the delta from scratch again18:46
tewardgiven the radical changes to the packaging it's easier to rebuild than merge18:46
tewardthe core issue was the fPIE/fPIC compile evils, but now that that's been fixed in Debian, yay less delta for me :P18:46
teward(but never an issue except for the merge heh)18:47
tewardas for the midterm, blah18:47

jgrimmits pretty free form as long as we don't go crazy with clutter / desire to keep updated & relevant20:43
tewardjgrimm: where would i put that?  just under the Server Team?  Until we get a buttload of NGINX issues that deserve a whole page, I think shoving it into DebuggingServer will work.  So I'll go poke there.  Probably deserves its own page somewhere in the triage guide, or a link to that page heh20:49
jgrimmteward, off the main Ubuntu Server page there is a section for "Packages of Interest" to link their own pages.  Just offering that up if there's enough useful info to put in its own page.20:50

tewardat some point this is going to become infinitely long, so I'll have to move it to its own 'Package of Interest' page heh21:08
powersjkeeping that my cut-and-paste page :)21:08
tewardpowersj: i give two separate canned comments, depending on which case we see, feel free to adjust as you wish (same for all other Server Team people).21:09
tewardbut it will at least indicate of course the status to set, why we set it, and how someone should respond if they still think it's a bug.21:09
tewardAnd since i'm subbed to ***every*** nginx bug for all notices, even if the bugs are closed as INvalid or such, I'll see the alerts xD21:09
