| sarnold | Jack: but the directory appears to be in /home/teamspeak/ | 02:10 |

| Jack | oh okay i have never had a problem before and it let me do it weird | 02:11 |
| Jack | Thank you | 02:11 |
| Mead | why would installing a CLI utility require installing x windows? | 06:33 |
| sarnold | some programs can do different things via X but don't dynamically load the various libraries | 06:35 |
| sarnold | sometimes it's just a package provides both commandline and graphical tools and therefore requires the graphics libraries to make sure the program works rather than dies. | 06:36 |
| Mead | this is frustrating, cause I'm trying to keep the ubuntu-server footprint really small to allow for me to pass on more resources to my VM's | 06:41 |
| sarnold | make sure you've got a gigabyte or two of space for swap so unused memory can be shoved to disk | 06:45 |

| xok | hello all... | 10:33 |
| xok | I've got a PXE boot server with preseed configuration file in place... | 10:34 |
| xok | is there a chance for automatic installator (throug d-i ) to dynamically alocate physical disks and partition them?. | 10:35 |
| xok | I mean not to provide the actual names in the preseed.cfg file... | 10:35 |
| TafThorne | xok: is that something the whole Metal as a Service stuff deals with? (which isn't PXE) but is Ubuntu related. | 11:05 |
| TafThorne | It might be possible to use PXE to do something similar but I am not that big a user of it. The MaaS thing just popped into my head while I read what you were asking. | 11:06 |
| Aison | any body experienced with overlayfs here? | 12:04 |
| maswan | A little bit, but only for singularity-container use | 12:04 |
| Aison | I merged a readonly lowerdir with a rw upperdir and workdir | 12:05 |
| Aison | the strange thing is now, that only the root of the merged dir is writable | 12:05 |
| Aison | all subdirectories are not | 12:05 |
| Aison | even as root | 12:05 |
| maswan | not much clue there from me, sorry | 12:06 |
| maswan | other than possibly somthing about shared | 12:06 |
| Aison | ok :-) | 12:10 |
| Aison | ok, it looks like a bug with nfs as lowerdir | 12:14 |
| Aison | is there an alternative to overlayfs? | 12:14 |

| med_ | a lot of pink slips at Canonical the past few days. | 16:38 |
| nacc | med_: ok | 16:38 |
| nacc | med_: this is a support channel :) | 16:39 |
| patdk-wk | that supports pink slips? | 16:39 |
| nacc | trees and dye | 16:40 |
| nacc | i guess? | 16:40 |
| med_ | erm, this is the #ubuntu-server channel. Not really a support channel as per se. It's a "community" channel and that community includes a lot of Canonical and ex-Canonical. | 16:45 |
| med_ | Ie, the title says "Discussion and support" for instance. | 16:45 |
| nacc | med_: right, i agree with you, sorry | 16:47 |
| nacc | med_: so not sure why you brought up something about canonical | 16:48 |
| skits | I am using 16.04 (64)server: Trying to find out if there is a difference in how 16+(tried 04/10) handles webserver naming/ips as compared to 14(04/10). I loaded up 14.04 on my test server and have no issues with vhost displaying dns (16+ seems to only display public ip) but 16+ seems to only display the public ip. Any info, links, or pointers on the subject specific to only 16+? | 17:14 |
| nacc | skits: a few follow-on questions -- do you mean that if you run a process (say dig) on your 14.04 server, you get differnt results than the same server with 16.04? | 17:16 |
| nacc | skits: or is it specificaly only having some difference in behavior with vhosts? | 17:16 |
| skits | Right now it seems to only really affect how it displays ip/dns in user browsers and its ability to trigger webapp functions(based on dns). Everything else functions just fine. Only vhost seems to be affected directly | 17:18 |
| nacc | skits: and which webserver are you using? | 17:18 |
| skits | I tried both nginx and apache. I am more familiar bar far with apache but the basic setup on nginx to test is easy enough just to test results. | 17:21 |
| nacc | skits: ok, i'm not super familiar with vhosts ,let me do some self-education | 17:21 |
| skits | Copy, thank you for your time nacc. | 17:22 |
| nacc | skits: so ... what do you see as the end user? can you clarify the bugginess you see? | 17:22 |
| nacc | skits: like a concrete example -- I navigate to http://whatever.com and it doesn't work, or it redirects and fails or somethinfg | 17:22 |
| skits | I can only see public ip and iterations such as 00.00.00.00/this page or 00.00.00.00/this/page | 17:23 |
| nacc | skits: ah, you can't get to them by hostname at all? | 17:23 |
| skits | http://67.205.132.87/solder/repo/ might be helpful | 17:23 |
| skits | host name instantly deflects to ip (such as solder.storagedragon.com or storagedragon.com or repo.storagedragon.com) | 17:24 |
| nacc | skits: ah, and you expect it to stay as hostname? | 17:24 |
| skits | Correct. If it does not then it weill not trigger certain web apps or differentiate between the subdomains | 17:26 |
| nacc | right, that makes sense | 17:26 |
| nacc | so i'm guessing this might be a change in behavior in apache2 (but not sure) -- you went from 2.4.7 to 2.4.18 (or so) | 17:27 |
| skits | That very well could be. I am using apache2 atm but it was also present in nginx which is why I asked here(ubuntu) first. | 17:27 |
| nacc | sure | 17:28 |
| nacc | i mean, i'm not sure that it's an ubuntu thing (in that, afaict, the vhost stuff is all in the webserver(s)) | 17:28 |
| skits | I was thinking so, was hoping it was an easy thing within ubuntu that would fix both at the same time. I will delve deper into the newer version apache/nginx then. Thank you sooo much for your time nacc! | 17:29 |
| nacc | skits: np, stick around here, there are often more experienced people than I :) | 17:30 |
| nacc | teward: --^ maybe you know or know where to look | 17:30 |
| skits | I used to live in these channels but was on hi-aitus for a year. I just never had to ask questions much. lol | 17:31 |
| nacc | skits: not a problem, just need to think about it a bit, you should be able to find the apache changelogs online (i wouldn't necessarily use the debian/ubuntu package ones, but hte upstream ones) | 17:32 |
| nacc | skits: that it happens with nginx as well seems odd, but i'm not sure how that works | 17:32 |
| nacc | skits: i'm assuming the vhost configs have thigns like ServerName and ServerAlias set, etc? | 17:33 |
| skits | Ya, thats why I actually had to ask. lmao. Was sure how to word my question for google to pull out relevant results. lmao | 17:33 |
| nacc | skits: and i wonder if the apache logs say anything? | 17:34 |
| skits | Nothing relevant to this. Just errors for other stuff since events won't trigger properly without correct name. lol | 17:35 |
| nacc | skits: ok | 17:35 |
| skits | Might even be how my registrar is forwarding dns! brb. Gonna check cname/a records and see. | 17:35 |
| nacc | skits: yeah, that could be | 17:36 |
| skits | grrr, I am so sorry for wasting time. It was an issue with godaddy (Never normally use their nameservers, just their domain names). the rest shoudl be an easy fix. thank you! | 17:52 |
| skits | Uhg, I cant wait till my names expire and I can take them elsewhere. lol | 17:52 |

| bildz | we just spent 30k on support | 19:22 |
| bildz | they better NOT be laying off people | 19:22 |
| bildz | at least their ISCSI guy!!! | 19:22 |
| nacc | bildz: ? | 19:31 |
| bildz | nacc: hey | 19:41 |
| nacc | bildz: hiya! just seeing if there was any server stuff you needed; or just general commentary there :) | 19:43 |
| bildz | nacc: i actually do need some server asstance around IBFT and how horribly UNDOCUMENTED it is and apparent lack of debian support | 19:49 |
| nacc | heh | 19:50 |
| nacc | bildz: what kind of environment? what OS? | 19:50 |
| bildz | so I have redhat installed and will be scouring through dmesg | 19:50 |
| bildz | nacc: 16.04 LTS, pure storage, and MAAS :D | 19:51 |
| nacc | bildz: ok, so 16.04 guest with iscsi root? | 19:51 |
| bildz | correct | 19:51 |
| bildz | 24 Cisco B series M4's | 19:52 |
| nacc | bildz: and what is happening in the guest? no root detected? | 19:52 |
| bildz | going to be standing up MAAS + juju | 19:52 |
| bildz | nacc: correct | 19:52 |
| nacc | bildz: does it have network? | 19:52 |
| nacc | bildz: when it fails to find root, that is | 19:52 |
| nacc | does it drop you to a shell? | 19:52 |
| bildz | we haven't been able to find any iscsi targets | 19:52 |
| bildz | even with a fully installed operating system | 19:52 |
| bekks | Do the M4's support IBFT? | 19:53 |
| bildz | yes | 19:53 |
| bildz | http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/gui/config/guide/2-2/b_UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_2_2/b_UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_2_2_chapter_011111.pdf | 19:53 |
| nacc | bildz: oh so even within a non-iscsi root guest, you can't see iscsi disks? what command did you try? | 19:53 |
| bildz | iscsistart -b | 19:54 |
| bildz | iscsi -n "should pull the IQN from the hardware" | 19:54 |
| bildz | iscsistart -n | 19:55 |
| nacc | i don't see an iscsistart -n option in 17.04, let me spin up a 16.04 | 19:55 |
| nacc | bildz: if you use iscsiadm and run discovery, does it work? | 19:55 |
| bildz | tried iscsiadm, but can do it again if you have some guidelines | 19:56 |
| nacc | bildz: does iscsistart -b report any errors? or just nothing? | 19:56 |
| nacc | bildz: something like | 19:56 |
| nacc | iscsiadm -m discovery -p ip:port | 19:56 |
| nacc | where ip and port are the iscsi portal | 19:56 |
| bildz | one sec we'll check | 19:58 |
| bildz | making some notes of what RHEL is seeing right now so we can attempt to port | 19:58 |
| nacc | sure | 19:59 |
| nacc | i don't have a ton of experience with iscsi root (yet) but i wrote the new support in curtin for iscsi non-root disks | 20:00 |
| nacc | so i have been playing with iscsiadm and tgt quite a bit | 20:00 |
| bildz | oh nice! | 20:00 |
| bildz | well I will be happy to keep you in the loop with our progress | 20:00 |
| bildz | im documenting for a blog | 20:00 |
| nacc | bildz: that'd be great, as i'd like to make this all a bit easier (i also found it quite painful) | 20:01 |
| bildz | i couldn't agree more | 20:01 |
| bildz | i love hardware, said nobody ever | 20:01 |
| nacc | :) | 20:01 |
| bildz | 2.0-8734 is the version of iscsiadm on 16.04 | 20:03 |
| bildz | RHEL is at 6.8 | 20:03 |
| bildz | ubuntu cannot read the firmware off the hardware | 20:04 |
| nacc | ah | 20:04 |
| nacc | so a driver issue? | 20:04 |
| nacc | i'm not sure at what level the ibft support is supposed to be implemented, tbh | 20:05 |
| bildz | i know | 20:05 |
| bildz | im working if I can just build a new ramdisk with a more current version | 20:05 |
| bildz | wondering* | 20:05 |
| nacc | bildz: which 16.04 kernel are you using? 16.04.1 (4.4) or 16.04.2 (4.8)? | 20:06 |
| bildz | 4.8 hwe - edge | 20:07 |
| nacc | bildz: ok | 20:07 |
| nacc | bildz: do you get an error in dmesg indicating it can't read the ibft data? | 20:07 |
| bildz | checking | 20:08 |
| bildz | doesn't look like any dmesg errors | 20:09 |
| nacc | bildz: anything in /sys/firmware/ibft ? | 20:13 |
| bildz | we're building IBFT now | 20:22 |
| nacc | bildz: ok | 20:27 |
| nacc | bildz: my understanding is the kernel puts the ibft data it finds in /sys/firmware/ibft | 20:27 |
| nacc | and i *think* that might exist regardless of the ibft driver, but i'm not sure | 20:27 |
| bildz | ill be around though, nacc | 20:31 |
| bildz | thanks for your help! | 20:31 |
| nacc | bildz: np, and ping me anytime for iscsi help | 20:59 |

| yotux | I have an ubuntu server running lvm using lvm snapshots a good backup method? | 23:31 |
| sarnold | it may be useful but it's not backups | 23:31 |
| sarnold | or do you mean that you would use that computer as a backup target from other computers? | 23:32 |
| yotux | I'm running owncloud / alfresco at the moment had I use rsync to backup those directs up along with mysql dumps | 23:33 |
| yotux | I was looking to add kvm to the server and need to resized some lv and I can across lv snapshots... | 23:33 |
| sarnold | just meditate on this a bit and it'll probably become clear :) https://twitter.com/leyrer/status/847816162557689857 | 23:33 |
