[00:00] <WACOMalt> yeah I went into each file and nothing but trusty listed beside them
[00:01] <JanC> my guess would be you either installed a .deb not from an external repository, or you removed that repository afterwards
[00:01] <drab> can you disable all 3rd partyr repos and try an update again?
[00:01] <WACOMalt> how do I do that?
[00:01] <drab> just sudo mv /etc/apt/sourced.list.d/ /etc/apt/sourced.list.disabled/
[00:02] <drab> and re-run apt-get update
[00:02] <JanC> and then run sudo apt update
[00:02] <JanC> or apt-get
[00:02] <JanC> probably apt-get i  :)
[00:02] <drab> apt is actually nicer, I'm just too used to type apt-get still
[00:03] <drab> nicer progress bar at least :)
[00:03] <drab> also I don't think apt history is removed often if at all, its' so tiny,can't remember rotation poilcies
[00:03] <drab> so you should still have something in /var/log/apt/
[00:03] <drab> can you please check history.log?
[00:03] <OerHeks> maybe apt-get dist-upgrade is more fun .. libc update lately and kernels...
[00:04] <drab> it should tell you what you installed
[00:04] <drab> OerHeks: yeah the thing is, it shouldn't ask you to remove it, which is what is happening here
[00:04] <JanC> maybe check that log around 7-5 months ago
[00:05] <WACOMalt> argh. sorry to do this to you guys but I have to run. I'm going to have to fix this tomorrow, something came up
[00:05] <WACOMalt> I'll be back!
[00:05] <WACOMalt> thanks for the help thus far
[00:06] <JanC> the requested libc versions mentioned in the pastebins are not normal for Ubuntu 14.04
[00:08] <OerHeks> bitcoin thingy.. box can be hacked too
[00:09] <JanC> well, any of those could be rogue; like I said those are just filenames and there could be anything behind them
[00:10] <JanC> so the one named "bitcoin" is no more suspect than the other ones
[00:12] <JanC> and in any case, I would expect that scammers make sure they wouldn't be detected that easily  :P
[00:13] <JanC> usually this sort of crap is the result of stupid enterprise companies  ;)
[00:13] <JanC> at least IME
[01:25] <drab> are ppl around here running kvm on ubuntu-server by any chance? it seems overall cumbersome
[01:25] <drab> for one any documentation I found, including on the ubuntu wiki, seems outdate, referencing 8.04 and stuff
[01:25] <drab> and the default ubuntu-vm-builder breaks badly
[01:27] <drab> even the official kvm doc page references 7.04 under the ubuntu section
[01:37] <OerHeks> good start https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM
[01:46] <drab> OerHeks: that's what I've been following and had a lot of rpoblems with
[01:46] <drab> the ubuntu-vm-builder seems broken
[01:46] <drab> never complete no matter which combination of paramters I try
[01:48] <drab> and if I use virt-install that again isn't completing cleanly or it seems to require a great deal of hacking around with VNC and ssh tunnelling to do an install from CD
[01:49] <drab> I'm trying to get pxe install going, but no luck there either so far
[01:50] <drab> also --os-variant with virt-install stopped at ubuntuprecise... which looks suspicious
[02:24] <Mead> what is the best way to restart a system via SSH?
[02:27] <drab> eeer, what's that supposed to mean?
[02:27] <drab> how would you restart a local system?
[02:28] <drab> Mead: ssh isn't special, you restart it the same way you'd restart a local system
[02:28] <Mead> ok, how to I restart fromt he cli?
[02:30] <drab> Mead: https://www.google.com/search?q=how%20do%20I%20restart%20a%20system%20via%20ssh&*&rct=j
[16:37] <adrian_1908> I have a question about Nginx + PHP-FPM, but I thought I'd ask here instead of the specific channels. If the Nginx worker runs as `www-data` and the FPM pool as e.g. `cms-user`,  can I just give ownership of the website directory to `cms-user` or do I need to involve `www-data` for some reason?
[16:39] <adrian_1908> The way I see it `cms-user` would be what the CMS uses to run PHP scripts and hence to handle files, so wouldn't that user alone suffice as owner?
[19:50] <blackflow> I've got remote unlocking of encrypted root working with dropbear. None of the askubuntu or similar articles for search of "ubuntu unlock root on boot" or similar, were correct, it's far simpler today. I'd like to contrib an article to server wiki. Please let me know where do I start.
[19:51] <blackflow> I know how to edit wikis, just please point me to (official?) section/pages where I can add such content.
[19:52] <blackflow> somewhere here, if I'm not mistaken?  https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/
[20:31] <Mead>  why do I have a "virbr0" interface when i run ifconfig when it isn't in /etc/netowrk/interfaces file?
[20:32] <blackflow> Mead: created by libvirtd I think, you've probably got virtualization set up?
[20:33] <Mead> I'm working on it, all the packages are there
[20:34] <Mead> interesting
[20:38] <Mead> I installed ubuntu-server last night and I'm confirming I did everything  right before I stat trying to build actural VM's.  that that virbr0 was unexpected
[20:55] <blackflow> Mead: technically, it's not needed. You can shut down the daemon and run VMs through custom scripts launching qemu-system-x86_64, and have whatever networking configuration you need.
[21:01] <Mead> nice
[21:52] <dn`> is there by chance a kernel param that I can set while using the ubuntu-installer (net) via preseed to sent the output/or log at least to a remote syslog?
[22:10] <Erick3k> hello
[22:13] <Erick3k> ubuntu randomly gets stuck https://i.imgur.com/BZucMiY.png
[22:13] <Erick3k> after restart
[22:13] <Erick3k> any idea why?
[22:22] <blackflow> Erick3k: randomly but not every time? Enable journal persistence if it isn't already and check the logs on next reboot aftre it freezes like that.
[22:26] <Erick3k> blackflow i reboot and works, i turn off the vm and turn back on and that happens, extremly weird am out of ideas
[22:26] <Erick3k> check this video so you can see what am talking about https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4wHJ6nwLi9BQ0pWU2tRbVVfc2c/view?usp=sharing
[22:28] <blackflow> Erick3k: well then do exactly like I suggested.
[22:28] <Erick3k> ok how can i enable that sorry my ignorance
[22:29] <blackflow> Erick3k: "Storage" option of /etc/systemd/journald.conf
[22:29] <blackflow> check the manpage of journald.conf
[22:29] <Erick3k> k
[22:33] <DarkByD3sign> Evening all, anyone around to ask a security question.
[22:37] <blackflow> Maybe.
[22:38] <Erick3k> blackflow this should do it right https://i.imgur.com/priemZZ.png
[22:39] <blackflow> Erick3k: correct
[22:39] <Erick3k> ty
[22:40] <DarkByD3sign> I've created a VPS from a well known cloud service. I've created my ssh key in putty gen and added it to the details on the cloud service so I can log in. Do I need to edit anything on the server side like in /etc/ssh/sshd_config?
[22:41] <blackflow> DarkByD3sign: once you make sure it works, disable password authentication
[22:41] <Erick3k> blackflow ok now stuck, poweroff and boot on systemrescue cd to get the log?
[22:41] <blackflow> Erick3k: no, reboot again into working system and then check with journalctl
[22:42] <Erick3k> tried reboot still gets stuck https://i.imgur.com/fSg8JWa.png
[22:43] <blackflow> Erick3k: then reboot until you get in
[22:43] <Erick3k> tried power off and start same thing
[22:43] <Erick3k> ok
[22:53] <Erick3k> blackflow 20 reboots and nothing
[22:56] <blackflow> Erick3k: well then try from a systemrescue and see if there's anything in /var/log/messages
[22:57] <Erick3k> k
[23:01] <Erick3k> no messages but kern says https://i.imgur.com/tiPp325.png
[23:06] <Erick3k> blackflow any ideas?
[23:12] <Erick3k> about to give up on this, makes 0 sense
[23:16] <Erick3k> anyone around that can help me with a non booting cloud image?
[23:21] <blackflow> Erick3k: sorry, no idea.
[23:26] <blackflow> Erick3k: though that first screenshot you posted, there are no errors as has been suggested in #ubuntu, those are regular raid modules loading up messages
[23:27] <Erick3k> right but why does it gets stuck after a shutdown and not a reboot?
[23:28] <blackflow> Erick3k: wait, that's not what you originally said
[23:28] <Erick3k> did you see the video i linked?
[23:28] <blackflow> and looking a the timestamp, that's on boot?
[23:28] <Erick3k> you can do a reboot and boots up
[23:28] <Erick3k> once you power it off
[23:28] <Erick3k> it gets stuck forever
[23:29] <Erick3k> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4wHJ6nwLi9BQ0pWU2tRbVVfc2c/view?usp=sharing
[23:29] <Erick3k> check the end of the video
[23:29] <Erick3k> yes
[23:29] <Erick3k> gets stuck next time you power it on during boot
[23:30] <blackflow> and after that you can't boot into the system at all?
[23:30] <blackflow> that link doesn't load, but nevermind
[23:30] <blackflow> doesn't matter, the boot sequence should print out any errors it encounters
[23:32] <blackflow> there's that cgroup message, I don't know if that's a showstopper error or just a warning
[23:38] <Erick3k> it just doesn't go past https://i.imgur.com/BZucMiY.png
[23:38] <Erick3k> no error
[23:38] <Erick3k> no nothing
[23:38] <Erick3k> just stuck there
[23:45] <blackflow> Erick3k: I'm sorry, without an error message, I wouldn't know what could be the cause.
[23:45] <Erick3k> yea same here
[23:46] <Erick3k> yea an Unsolvable Bug i guess
[23:47] <blackflow> Erick3k: you did say that was ubuntu cloud?
[23:48] <Erick3k> yes image
[23:48] <blackflow> which image exactly?
[23:48] <Erick3k> https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/xenial/20170331/
[23:48] <Erick3k> tried older ones, same thing seems to happen
[23:48] <Erick3k> ubuntu 14 works great
[23:48] <Erick3k> so is something on 16
[23:49] <blackflow> eh, afaik that's for containers
[23:50] <Erick3k> am using kvm
[23:50] <blackflow> I don't think that cloud is the right image then
[23:50] <blackflow> I could be wrong. But, why not just use the regular server image, if that's KVM
[23:51] <Erick3k> ummm
[23:51] <Erick3k> you might be right
[23:51] <Erick3k> this looks like the right one
[23:51] <Erick3k> https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04/release-20170330/
[23:53] <blackflow> https://www.ubuntu.com/download/server
[23:54] <blackflow> I blame all this "cloud" nonsense. Everything is called cloud these days. Easy to get confuzzled.
[23:54] <blackflow> and they're all just regular operating systems
[23:54] <blackflow> with the exception of containers not needing their own kernel
[23:55] <blackflow> so the images for containers are made smaller and simpler.
[23:55] <Erick3k> interesting
[23:56] <Erick3k> i just prefer the images save you the install / setup cloud-init time
[23:57] <blackflow> but KVM is full virtualization. containers are just namespaces. that means for KVM you'll need a full blown operating system with a kernel, init, and all that. so, go with regular server images.
