=== madsa is now known as Guest30808 === madsa_ is now known as Guest32742 [02:39] is backports really needed for servers ? [02:43] depends what packages you need :P [02:46] hehe [02:46] RoyK: 1-0 [02:48] RoyK: but not many packages in there ? [02:55] there isn't much worthy of backporting yet [02:55] the older it gets, the more items get put into backports [02:56] backports also don't get security patches [03:05] 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] well, this is #ubuntu though [03:20] I'm aware of that === JanC_ is now known as JanC [05:53] 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] a second later I see: disconnect from unknown[96.57.19.234] [05:54] the full line is: postfix/smtpd[20890]: disconnect from unknown[96.57.19.234] [05:58] anyone got by chance a fix/hint regarding: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1569925 I’m facing the same ;/ [05:58] Launchpad bug 1569925 in systemd (Ubuntu) "Shutdown hang on 16.04 with iscsi targets" [High,Confirmed] [06:17] wuhuhu, I fixed it ;-) [06:18] *trying to narrow down the “fix* [06:19] the issue is that the network intereface gets shutdown to early, but iscsi thingie stil needs it [06:19] since the interface is started in initramfs for me, it was good enough to remove the interface from /etc/network/interfaces [06:19] but that’s nt really pretty [06:38] Good morning === ashleyd is now known as ashd [10:04] hello everyone, can anyone help me regarding squid3 basic authentication from internet, which is behind NAT. [12:26] 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] …apt-cache search linux-image output doesn't look promising, did i overlook something? [12:31] 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] rbasak: aye, thanks [12:33] faekjarz: I was going to suggest the linux-generic-hwe package, but I guess that's not what you need? [12:35] blackflow: hmm, it points to the latest 4.8 (check), but what does hwe stand for? [12:51] …found it, btw, hwe stands for hardware enablement [12:59] you will want hwe [12:59] cause 4.8 will go unsupported soon [12:59] so you will have to upgrade to what comes after 4.8 [18:25] is anybody doing something "magical" with write caching to allow backups with no downtime? or is it just a crazy idea? [18:25] 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] 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] patdk-lap: yap, I have added it, it's only 2G [19:40] RoyK: ^ [19:41] 2G what? === madsa is now known as Guest86528 [21:08] hi, is there a way to check which pci dev-id a network interface is ? [21:08] i.e. what does eth0 map to [21:08] (trying to identify nic's) [21:09] ah... lshw has it [21:09] my bad [22:56] hey guys. How can I fix this issue with dependencies on my locales when trying to install tmux? https://pastebin.com/Q35vgvhz [22:57] and when I do apt-get -f install I get this: https://pastebin.com/Lf7HfmgX [22:57] which is more than a little scary to be frank [23:02] WACOMalt, is this on Zesty? [23:07] WACOMalt: what exactly did you do before that... [23:08] 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] and how do I check my ubuntu version :X [23:08] I think its 14.04 server LTS [23:11] OerHeks: yes just confirmed I am on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS [23:14] it looks like you added third party repositories for some other release then [23:16] https://pastebin.com/raw/7GxqHuFX [23:16] that's my apt/sources.list [23:16] I dont see anything fishy [23:16] lsb_release -d [23:16] already found it, thanks :) [23:16] 14.04.5 LTS [23:18] what sources are in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [23:20] JanC: https://pastebin.com/raw/8M3R2EGL [23:21] looks like everything is for trusty [23:22] except for btsync maybe? [23:22] (also, those are just filenames, of course) [23:29] JanC: went into btsync and all the others in text editor [23:30] all say trusty [23:30] any idea how I can force it to reinstall locales or whatever it's hanging on? [23:31] not until you find out what is causing this really [23:32] well, maybe find out if you have any packages installed that don't come from these repositories [23:39] that's why I'm here, for help finding out what's causing this [23:39] I'm completely out of my depths [23:43] 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] previously, I dont know. like Is aid it was likely 6 months ago [23:47] currently, tmux [23:51] WACOMalt: I assume you're not storing logs for that long, are you? [23:52] WACOMalt: anything in /var/log/apt ? [23:52] especially history.log(.x.gz) [23:55] 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] at one point yes. I was using x-server forwarding [23:57] WACOMalt: I assume you ddi an apt-get update and evreything is ok? [23:57] do you have anything in /etc/apt/sourced.list.d/ ? [23:59] https://pastebin.com/raw/8M3R2EGL [23:59] supposedly they are all intended for trusty
