[03:23] <drab> sarnold: no worries, thanks for prodding him
[07:21] <lordievader> Good morning
[08:09] <gheorghe_> sarnold i can't find bug ID atm. so this means the patch will never be uploaded to the packages list?
[08:38] <frickler> gheorghe_: you could create a new bug, similiar to e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/neutron/+bug/1696133
[08:39] <frickler> jamespage: btw., will uca-newton still be updated even though yakkety seems to be eoled now?
[08:39] <jamespage> frickler: it will yes
[08:41] <linuxlove> how can i know how much is my volume for /
[09:11] <dpb1> df -h
[13:29] <silentcuboid_> Newbie here. problem getting for example "[" and "]" in terminal. Ubuntu server 17 in VBX on windows 7 bootcamp host on macbook pro. macbook keyboard swedish layout. Swedish characters works in terminal. ctrl + alt + 8 usually for "[" no it is "esq"-insert mode i guess.
[13:30] <silentcuboid_> right alt+8 worked
[13:30] <silentcuboid_> sry to bother
[15:37] <drab> trying my luck again, any recommendation to redirect ports on a lan to transparently proxy stuff other than NAT'ing with iptables?
[15:38] <drab> right now I'm doing transparent proxying using iptables REDIRECT target hosting the CF on the GW box
[15:39] <drab> but REDIRECT only works for localhost and I'd like to move the content filtering to another box and then do the same for dns too so that it enforces the internal DNS (as opposed to just drop outgoing requests to port 53)
[16:47] <hashwagon> If I edit /etc/hostname or use systemctl set-hostname why do I manually need to update /etc/hosts? Otherwise I get "sudo: unable to resolve host myhostname"
[16:52] <rbasak> hashwagon: the system needs to know how to resolve its own name
[16:52] <rbasak> Usually that's done in /etc/hosts
[16:55] <hashwagon> I know it's just interesting that I need to manually edit it. * I realized I type systemctl, meant hostnamectl. Anyways with centos hostnamectl does it all in one command. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
[16:55] <rbasak> I'm not sure how the fedora family handles self name lookups
[16:56] <rbasak> The Debian family uses /etc/hosts, which AFAICT hostnamectl isn't defined touch.
[16:56] <hashwagon> I see, thanks rbasak
[16:56] <rbasak> cloud-init has some functionality to fix /etc/hosts with manage_etc_hosts, but this doesn't apply to non-cloud
[16:57] <rbasak> Is the hostname the fqdn in fedora land?
[16:57]  * rbasak doesn't recall
[17:02] <ahasenack> if your hostname can be resolved by appending the "search" or "domain" bits from /etc/resolv.conf to it, then you don't need it in /etc/hosts
[17:02] <ahasenack> that's how it works
[17:02] <ahasenack> andreas@nsn7:~$ hostname -f
[17:02] <ahasenack> nsn7.lowtech
[17:02] <ahasenack> andreas@nsn7:~$ grep nsn7 /etc/hosts
[17:02] <ahasenack> andreas@nsn7:~$
[17:02] <ahasenack> it's a matter of dns configuration
[17:02] <ahasenack> if your hostname is made up and not registered with dns, then you need an entry in /etc/hosts
[17:04] <rbasak> That's true, but I'd say it's wise to have your system able to look itself up without a network connection anyway.
[17:05] <rbasak> I've always put it in /etc/hosts even if it is available in DNS for this reason.
[17:05] <rbasak> Otherwise maintenance with the network down is a PITA.

[18:00] <sarnold> drab: see if this helps?
[18:27] <hehehe> hey people
[18:27] <hehehe> how about using this for canonical and ubunti foundation https://buffer.baremetrics.com/ ? :)
[21:00] <Epx998-> never a dull day
[21:00] <Epx998-> Today deploy ub14 by hand for a build farm that has no unattended setup
[21:08] <drab> sarnold: that's pretty cool, bookmarked it for the future, but not sure it's something I want to use right now because as far as I understand it would require modifications in the proxy code
[21:09] <drab> ie the content filter would have to open the socket with IP_TRANSPARENT
[21:18] <Epx998> I have a dumb question
[21:19] <Epx998> If I convert a server from dhcp to static, aside from the interfaces file - should i disable any paticular service?
[21:20] <drab> no, there's no dhcp client service to begin with
[21:20] <drab> it's triggered from the interfaces file
[21:20] <Epx998> Reason I ask, I forgot to add my nameserver entry to the interface file and noticed /etc/resolv.conf mentions the resolvconf stuff
[21:21] <Epx998> ok let me add the dns junk and reboot
[22:07] <sarnold> drab: re: modifications, that might not be hard, and might even be something e.g. the squid team would accept patches for
