tarpmanwonder how you ended up with that installed00:00
Guest65463Dunno00:00
Guest65463Know anything about setting up VNC? This server is on my DMZ, i can connect to it from another linux install on the home network00:00
Guest65463can't access via WAN even though I have port forwarding on the incoming router00:01
tarpmanif you can connect to it from another system on the LAN, then VNC isn't the problem, but networking ;)00:01
tarpmanI have to go, hopefully someone else can help. good luck00:01
Guest65463thank you tarpman00:03
hehehehi00:39
hehehe:)))00:39
heheheI have to say vulr is awesome00:39
hehehethey run whole lot on qemu00:39
hehehecan simply attach new iso and say null windows user passwd in case u forgot it00:39
heheheand snapshots are free00:39
heheheis there some web stats00:41
heheheas to when channel is most active?00:41

sarnoldit wouldn't be too hard to build a scraper for https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2017/06/21/00:42
heheheyes00:42
heheheand least active users are klined for 3 days :D00:42
hehehewould be fun00:42
hehehesarnold: is your friend here sometimes too? the one who can explain very well00:43
heheheI was reading some material on sales and terms they use influence how one approach it, I say same applies to coding00:44
heheheterms used to visualise stuff can influence how one operate with it00:44
hehehefor example if u use this https://sitecdn.adespresso.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/sales-funnel-chart.png in a street fight u may get badly beaten00:45
heheheas it implies some pause, stages00:45
hehehe:)00:45
dpb1hehehe: who needs vulr when you can use lxd. :)00:45
hehehewhat is lxd?00:45
dpb1https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/introduction/00:46
heheheyes oki00:46
=== MAbeeTT_ is now known as MAbeeTT
dpb1greatly simplifies my day-to-day of testing linux distros, etc00:46
heheheI think subgraph uses them?00:47
hehehelxd or similar00:47
hehehevultr is online vps provider, sure local server is cheaper00:47
dpb1sure, not the same00:48
hehehedpb1: what about co location?00:48
hehehethat is probably cheap00:48
heheheand them other folks can access machine easier00:49
hehehethen00:49
dpb1yup, I use lxd corrently more for dev/test00:49
sarnoldhehehe: no, but some blog posts http://bert-hubert.blogspot.com/00:50
hehehealso while I am yet to be good at coding - lxd visual also directs approach  in a certain way00:50
hehehesince often `complex` tasks are approach using a specific framework, instead of intuitively enacting most efficient solution at that moment00:52
hehehe*approached00:52
sarnoldhehehe: you may enjoy http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html00:53
hehehequote `When you choose technology, you have to ignore what other people are doing, and consider only what will work the best.00:55
hehehereplace technology with life00:55
hehehe:)00:55
hehehesarnold: well I can reply to that article - few points - many words are used to make proposed worldview appear as fact - economics - economise , do we have to economise or not? :D00:57
hehehethe whole idea with constant distruptions may not be what it seems @ startups00:58
hehehe Blub is good enough for him, because he thinks in Blub.01:02
hehehesarnold: yes idea is to think not in C or Python - simply see what is wanted and tool01:02
hehehewhat about go?01:05
hehehemany say go is cool01:06
patdk-lapit's a pretty complex game01:06
patdk-lapattempting to capture territory and all that01:07
sarnoldlevel 1 is too easy and level 2 is too hard01:07
hehehethe whole thing about competition - money supply is limited by issuers - competition need not to be present, customers demand can simply select who is wanted :D01:08
hehehesarnold: I think coding is only hard cause its taught in a hard way01:09
hehehefor example one man goes to toilet to pee, he pees and go - another is though that in order to pee you have to bow to sun 20 times, then sing a song01:09
heheheand then pee :D01:09
hehehemechanics veiled in mental constructs01:10
sarnoldno wonder so many programs smell like someone peed all over them01:11
hehehewhat about folks who create new languages? they probably are more fluid with coding?01:13
heheheyet programming often is collective sport so one dude writing fluid genius something yet can next coder easily to extend this code and modify it/01:14
hehehebtw who here likes cooking? I plan to dry tomato and store them in oil for entire year :D01:16
hehehecooking is a programming too - you have to select ingredients and combine them well01:17
heheheelse all you make is spaghetti :)01:17
sarnoldhehehe: oh yeah. I like cooking. :) or more to the point I love eating good food...01:22
hehehewell eating is more like apt-get install :D01:23
hehehealbeit I admit u can eat in many creative ways01:23
heheheany ideas why windows updates take ages to install? :D01:31

cpaelzerhi lordievader, busy but good07:16
cpaelzerlordievader: how are you?07:16
lordievaderDoing good here :)07:16

zetheroois it normal that smtp port 485 needs to be manually opened?08:36
andolzetheroo: That all depends on your firewall policy, if it's all open or all closed by default.08:39
zetheroosorry 46508:40
zetheroosmtp ssl port08:40
zetheroowell I haven't done any manual configurations of the firewall08:40
andolzetheroo: Same answer, even if the questions makes a bit more sense now :)08:40
andolzetheroo: Perhaps you could do a pastebin of the output from the command "iptables -L -v" ?08:42
zetheroosure08:42
andolSince you haven't done any manual configuration it shouldn't be any sensitive in that output.08:42
zetheroohttps://pastebin.ubuntu.com/24915684/08:42
andolzetheroo: Everything is wide open there, so nothing which needs to be open.08:43
zetheroook08:43
andolYou might need to configure your MTA to explictly listen on port 465.08:43
zetherooit's just that I am getting a 'Could not open SMTP Port' error from a Dokuwiki plugin, and I have port 465 selected as the outgoing mailserver port08:44
zetherooI have configured ssmtp on this server08:48
andolNow I'm confused :) Is the plan to have the dokuwiki-plugin use the ssmtp on localhost?08:49
zetheroome too ... usual protocol is to have ssmtp setup on our servers so they can mail out ... but then the admin of this wiki instance wants their wiki to send mail from another account ... so I to am confused now :P08:50
zetherooThe dokuwiki smtp plugin has it's own config in dokuwiki ... I didn't think it had anything to do with the servers MTA setup08:52
zetherooapparently this plugin 'will contact a configured SMTP server directly to send emails'08:53
zetherooperhaps I can configure an additional account in ssmtp which matches the dokuwiki plugin account info08:55

ahasenackcpaelzer: got a minute? I have a question about #1657646. Or are you having lunch?12:05
cpaelzeralready back12:05
cpaelzergiev me 2 min to close out something12:05
ahasenackok12:05
cpaelzerthen I'll read into the bug12:05
ahasenackcpaelzer: tl;dr I changed the title, and then read comments #13 and #1412:06
cpaelzerok more thna 2 min :-/ but with you soon ahasenack12:11
ahasenacknp :)12:11
cpaelzerahasenack: now I'm with you12:26
cpaelzerahasenack: I already read the comments this morning12:26
ahasenackcpaelzer: did you read those comments?12:26
ahasenackok12:26
ahasenackso here is my question12:27
ahasenackit feels like a bug the fact that I can create thin pools without the package12:27
ahasenackbut after a reboot they are not there if I do not have the package12:27
cpaelzerack12:27
cpaelzereither refuse to create or work12:27
ahasenackright12:27
ahasenackdo you know the history of that package split?12:28
ahasenackor any reason why it's split?12:28
ahasenackyou seemed to know from memory that you had to install it12:28
cpaelzerjust did more with it in the past, but I don't know why it is split right away12:29
cpaelzerahasenack: well I know12:30
cpaelzerahasenack: component mismatch12:30
cpaelzerahasenack: lvm2 is in main12:30
cpaelzerthin-provisioning-tools is not12:30
ahasenackdoes it come from the same source?12:30
cpaelzerno12:30
ahasenackI see12:30
ahasenackis that also why we can't make it a Recommends?12:31
cpaelzeryes12:31
cpaelzeryou sometimes find delta that downgrades recommends to suggests because of that12:31
cpaelzerbut12:31
ahasenackwould this be a Foundations bug?12:31
cpaelzerin this case even Debian only holds a suggest12:31
ahasenackI'm tempted to rephrase the bug, and assign it to lvm212:32
ahasenackbut who would get it then?12:32
cpaelzerahasenack: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2 see the subscriptions on the right12:34
ahasenackfoundations12:34
cpaelzerisn't too important who will get it - is it?12:34
cpaelzerif it is the correct further triage then do it12:35
ahasenackyep, thx12:35
cpaelzeryou can still subscribe(assign us if we want to handle it12:35
cpaelzerahasenack: I'm parsing through history of the package if there could be a hint how to improve12:35
ahasenackthings that come to mind other than changing the dependency are too intrusive12:36
ahasenacksomething to spit out a message when a thin pool is provisioned, essentially, if the tools package isn't installed12:36
cpaelzerconfig options sound interesting --with-thin=internal --with-thin-check=/usr/sbin/thin_check12:37
cpaelzerwhat would happen without the check defined12:37
ahasenackdon't know, I haven't used thin pools before coming across this bug12:38
ahasenackcpaelzer: I'll rewrite the bug description and change the package, and maybe do some experiments12:43
ahasenackcpaelzer: thx for the discussion12:43
cpaelzerabtraction FTW - I lost track of the thin check on like the 8th level12:50
cpaelzeranyway it is certainly not "trivial"12:50
ahasenackheh12:50
cpaelzerahasenack: did you check which part misses the thin check?12:51
cpaelzerahasenack: is it a init script or the binary itself?12:51
cpaelzerand if you found it - if it is by Debian/Ubuntu we own to fix it12:51
cpaelzerahasenack: otherwise it might be a valid upstream bug report12:51
cpaelzerahasenack: with the focus on "please reject to create if not all req's are around"12:52
ahasenackyeah12:52
ahasenackI just saw the think_check error when I tried to run "vgchange -a y" manually12:52
ahasenackthat is what complained about the missing script12:52
ahasenackI think it's fair to say some initscript/systemd job calls vgchange -a y at some point12:52
cpaelzeryes12:53
cpaelzerahasenack: the init script does /sbin/lvm vgchange -aay --sysinit12:54
cpaelzeris that equivalent?12:54
ahasenacklet me check the second "a"12:54
cpaelzerwould it provike the same error12:54
cpaelzerit is also the vm binary with vgchange as an arg12:55
ahasenackthat is ok (lvm vgchange)12:55
ahasenackThe -aay option should be12:55
ahasenack              also used during system boot so it's possible to select which volumes to activate using the activation/auto_activation_volume_list settting.12:55
ahasenack"a" is auto12:56
cpaelzernacc: before I file a bug you might point me diretcly to what I'm missing14:10
cpaelzernacc: git merge-changelogs lp1604010/old/debian lp1604010/old/ubuntu lp1604010/new/debian14:10
cpaelzernacc: works fiine from git14:10
cpaelzergit+ssh://git.launchpad.net/usd-importer14:10
cpaelzernacc: but fails from the snap complaining there is no merge-changelogs14:10
cpaelzerfirst confusion almost got me as there also is "sudo apt install git-merge-changelog" but that again is something different14:11
cpaelzerI couldn't find it anywhere under the "git ubuntu" scope - maybe you renamed it or did a bigger change to it I missed14:12
cpaelzer?14:12
cpaelzernacc: uh that could now be "hidden" under git ubuntu merge finish - is it?14:13
cpaelzernacc: yeah that was it, the wiki really needs an update in that regard14:18
cpaelzernacc: I'll file you a bug listing what I think to be changed instead of messing it up right away14:18
ahasenackcpaelzer: ok, lvm2/docker bug reworded and with a simpler test case14:34
ahasenackcpaelzer: the moment you create a thin pool LV, vgchange stops working, both to activate or deactivate a VG14:34
ahasenackunless you install thin-provisioning-tools14:34
cpaelzerahasenack: yeah much better test than reboot14:35
cpaelzerahasenack: thanks!14:35
cpaelzerahasenack: did you check if it is reasonable to report upstream?14:35
cpaelzersounds that way14:35
ahasenacknot yet, just finished updating the bug14:35
cpaelzerwell they might reflect to distro and say "if you enable make it a depends"14:35
cpaelzerbut still worth to ask14:36
cpaelzera safety check on creation would still be nice14:36
cpaelzerthe binary could be broken/unavailable for whatever reasons14:36
ahasenackcreating an actual thin LV also fails14:39
ahasenackmany failure cases14:39
jamespageEmilienM: nearly there - there is a bug in neutron @ pike b2 related to not having the port-security extension enabled; this was blocking testing - I've picked the fix and its working it way through the build system atm14:44
EmilienMcool14:45
ahasenackcpaelzer: should I change the bug status to "new" after having changed the package, so foundations is better aware of it?14:46
cpaelzerahasenack: yes I thnik so, but add a comment why you do so (for proper re-tirage from their POV)14:53
ahasenackdone14:54
cpaelzerahasenack: thanks for the updated description - much more readable14:58
ahasenackwhat is this bugproxy thing anyway? :)14:59
ahasenacksome sort of shared account?14:59
cpaelzerahasenack: the "obvious" blunt solution would be to MIR thin-provisioning-tools and then make it a recommends14:59
ahasenackyep14:59
cpaelzerahasenack: yet since none of us knows the package I can't speak for their code quality14:59
cpaelzerand that is part of the MIR pre-req15:00
cpaelzerat least it has no further non-main dependencies15:00
cpaelzerahasenack: TL;DR bugproxy is a bot on a companies buzilla that maps their internal bugzilla posts to Launchpad15:00
cpaelzerahasenack: and to other projects tracking tools15:00
cpaelzerahasenack:  a bit like LP track remote bug15:00
ahasenackok15:00
cpaelzerunfortunately it sometimes gets confsed - posts on wrong bugs, ...15:01
nacccpaelzer: the snap should have both subcommands now (e.g. git-ubuntu.merge-changelogs)15:15

kyle__Is there something more than just 'do-release-upgrade' you're supposed to do to move from 14.04 to 16.04 on a server?  I ask because every time, I lose all in-kernel encryption and luks encrypted drives, and have to manually install linux-generic-lts-xenial, bounce again, etc to get it going22:50
nacckyle__: why would you install 'linux-generic-lts-xenial' on 16.04?22:51
nacckyle__: that's a 14.04 package22:51
nacckyle__: also what do you mean by 'in-kernel encryption'?22:51
nacckyle__: oh i see, it's there to allow for clean upgrades from the hwe stack, i suppose -- sorry22:52
kyle__The parts of th kernel luks uses for encryption.  cat /proc/crypto.  That stuff.22:52
nacckyle__: but you shouldn't need to manually install it, it should pick it up automatically during hte upgrade22:53
kyle__nacc: Probably.  It was that and linux-image-generic that I had to do when I first came across it.22:53
kyle__It's not a show stopper for me, just an annoyance, so I thought maybe I missed some vital step.22:53
nacckyle__: i think there's something else going on (possibly a bug). /proc/crypto's presence should not be dependent upon which kernel you have installed (i believe they all have crypto support)22:54
nacckyle__: well, linux-generic-lts-xenial and linux-image-generic are rather different packages22:55
kyle__nacc: True.  It could be the linux-generic-lts-xenial package was just an artifact from the server I first saw this on, and not neccesary.22:57
nacckyle__: yeah -- but in any case, do-release-upgrade *should* be sufficient, presuming you weren't dependent on some 3rd party packages, etc.22:58
* kyle__ shakes his head22:59
kyle__We keep that to the barest minimum.22:59
nacckyle__: seems prudent :)23:01
nacckyle__: i guess i'd need to see it in a bit more detail -- that is an upgrade that's in the failed state and see if we can debug it23:01
kyle__I'll pop back in tomorrow with one hopefully.23:02
