[02:39] <rizonz> is backports really needed for servers ?
[02:43] <RoyK> depends what packages you need :P
[02:46] <rizonz> hehe
[02:46] <rizonz> RoyK: 1-0
[02:48] <rizonz> RoyK: but not many packages in there ?
[02:55] <patdk-lap> there isn't much worthy of backporting yet
[02:55] <patdk-lap> the older it gets, the more items get put into backports
[02:56] <patdk-lap> backports also don't get security patches
[03:05] <RoyK> patdk-lap: well, I guess that may be true for ubuntu, being a wee bit bleeding edge for most sysadmins. It's quite nice with debian, where the standard track is rather on the conservative side
[03:10] <patdk-lap> well, this is #ubuntu though
[03:20] <RoyK> I'm aware of that
[05:53] <Elzington> I'm looking at my syslog, and see: connect from unknown[96.57.19.234] ... is this a connection attempt, or is this a successful connection from that IP address?
[05:54] <Elzington> a second later I see: disconnect from unknown[96.57.19.234]
[05:54] <Elzington> the full line is: postfix/smtpd[20890]: disconnect from unknown[96.57.19.234]
[05:58] <dn`> anyone got by chance a fix/hint regarding: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1569925 I’m facing the same ;/
[06:17] <dn`> wuhuhu, I fixed it ;-)
[06:18] <dn`> *trying to narrow down the “fix*
[06:19] <dn`> the issue is that the network intereface gets shutdown to early, but iscsi thingie stil needs it
[06:19] <dn`> since the interface is started in initramfs for me, it was good enough to remove the interface from /etc/network/interfaces
[06:19] <dn`> but that’s nt really pretty
[06:38] <lordievader> Good morning
[10:04] <zeus123> hello everyone, can anyone help me regarding squid3 basic authentication from internet, which is behind NAT.
[12:26] <faekjarz> Hey there! I'd like to receive kernel updates, but i use the non-default 4.8 on 16.04. Is there a metapkg like linux-image-generic that points to a latest 4.8.0 kernel? (4.8 is required because it seems to have the ACS override patch applied / useful IOMMU groups)
[12:27] <faekjarz> …apt-cache search linux-image output doesn't look promising, did i overlook something?
[12:31] <rbasak> faekjarz: if you don't get an answer here, try asking in #ubuntu-kernel. Also there might be more people who know on a weekday.
[12:32] <faekjarz> rbasak: aye, thanks
[12:33] <blackflow> faekjarz: I was going to suggest the linux-generic-hwe package, but I guess that's not what you need?
[12:35] <faekjarz> blackflow: hmm, it points to the latest 4.8 (check), but what does hwe stand for?
[12:51] <faekjarz> …found it, btw, hwe stands for hardware enablement
[12:59] <patdk-lap> you will want hwe
[12:59] <patdk-lap> cause 4.8 will go unsupported soon
[12:59] <patdk-lap> so you will have to upgrade to what comes after 4.8
[18:25] <drab> is anybody doing something "magical" with write caching to allow backups with no downtime? or is it just a crazy idea?
[18:25] <drab> so basically turn some knob that stops writes to going to disk but just put them in cache, run a snapshot of the disk, flush writes to disk/re-enable writing as usual
[18:26] <drab> I realize that during the window of the snap if something happens you're screwed, but it's a risk I'd be willing to take in a few scenarios I need to deal with where I don't have slaves to take backups and don't want to stop services/block writes
[19:40] <rizonz> patdk-lap: yap, I have added it, it's only 2G
[19:40] <rizonz> RoyK: ^
[19:41] <RoyK> 2G what?
[21:08] <tekk> hi, is there a way to check which pci dev-id a network interface is ?
[21:08] <tekk> i.e. what does eth0 map to
[21:08] <tekk> (trying to identify nic's)
[21:09] <tekk> ah... lshw has it
[21:09] <tekk> my bad
[22:56] <WACOMalt> hey guys. How can I fix this issue with dependencies on my locales when trying to install tmux? https://pastebin.com/Q35vgvhz
[22:57] <WACOMalt> and when I do apt-get -f install I get this: https://pastebin.com/Lf7HfmgX
[22:57] <WACOMalt> which is more than a little scary to be frank
[23:02] <OerHeks> WACOMalt, is this on Zesty?
[23:07] <JanC> WACOMalt: what exactly did you do before that...
[23:08] <WACOMalt> this has been plagueing me for so long I have no idea what I did as it was like half a year ago
[23:08] <WACOMalt> and how do I check my ubuntu version :X
[23:08] <WACOMalt> I think its 14.04 server LTS
[23:11] <WACOMalt> OerHeks: yes just confirmed I am on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
[23:14] <JanC> it looks like you added third party repositories for some other release then
[23:16] <WACOMalt> https://pastebin.com/raw/7GxqHuFX
[23:16] <WACOMalt> that's my apt/sources.list
[23:16] <WACOMalt> I dont see anything fishy
[23:16] <JanC> lsb_release -d
[23:16] <WACOMalt> already found it, thanks :)
[23:16] <WACOMalt> 14.04.5 LTS
[23:18] <JanC> what sources are in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[23:20] <WACOMalt> JanC: https://pastebin.com/raw/8M3R2EGL
[23:21] <WACOMalt> looks like everything is for trusty
[23:22] <JanC> except for btsync maybe?
[23:22] <JanC> (also, those are just filenames, of course)
[23:29] <WACOMalt> JanC: went into btsync and all the others in text editor
[23:30] <WACOMalt> all say trusty
[23:30] <WACOMalt> any idea how I can force it to reinstall locales or whatever it's hanging on?
[23:31] <JanC> not until you find out what is causing this really
[23:32] <JanC> well, maybe find out if you have any packages installed that don't come from these repositories
[23:39] <WACOMalt> that's why I'm here, for help finding out what's causing this
[23:39] <WACOMalt> I'm completely out of my depths
[23:43] <drab> WACOMalt: what were you trying to install? generally speaking if you get to the point of running apt-get with -f something failed previously to install
[23:47] <WACOMalt> previously, I dont know. like Is aid it was likely 6 months ago
[23:47] <WACOMalt> currently, tmux
[23:51] <drab> WACOMalt: I assume you're not storing logs for that long, are you?
[23:52] <drab> WACOMalt: anything in /var/log/apt ?
[23:52] <drab> especially history.log(.x.gz)
[23:55] <drab> also is this a server install? assume so since this is -server, but why the gnome packages? did you put a gui on the server?
[23:55] <WACOMalt> at one point yes. I was using x-server forwarding
[23:57] <drab> WACOMalt: I assume you ddi an apt-get update and evreything is ok?
[23:57] <drab> do you have anything in /etc/apt/sourced.list.d/ ?
[23:59] <JanC> https://pastebin.com/raw/8M3R2EGL
[23:59] <JanC> supposedly they are all intended for trusty
