rbasakAnything else is your responsibility (you put them there...)00:00
apb1963I see00:00
apb1963well, back to the grindstone for me.  Thanks again!  Happy Thanksgiving if appropriate :)00:01
rbasakThere are also cases where multiple packages share a configuration directory00:01
rbasakOr a package drops configuration in for another package in its configuration directory.00:01
rbasakAnd then it becomes impossible to remove the directory on purge because stuff will be missing upon reinstall, etc.00:01
apb1963well.. i'm of two minds on the matter... there's something to be said for "clean up after yourself", but I think there needs to be a third option... like... superpurge or something.00:03
rbasakI can understand why you want it. But that doesn't make it easy to implement :)00:05
apb1963nothing worthwhile is ever easy :)00:09
rbasakWe don't really think about servers like that any more anyway.00:10
rbasakPut it in a container. Rather than purging the package, throw away the container :)00:10
ubuntu_padawanhi I have a ubuntu server setup on a usb drive that i want to create a backup iso of and also use a copy of that drive to load in virtual box whats the best way to go about creating an iso of the thumb drive ?16:35
tomreynubuntu_padawan: why an iso?18:42
tomreynpersonally i'd just create a raw disk image. it won't fit ona dvd anyways18:45
tomreynif you still insist on n iso, there are the following tools: linux respin, systemback, linux live kit (i have no experience with either).18:47
ubuntu_padawantomreyn, hi want to be able to use it in virtual box as well18:47
tomreyna raw disk image is fine for that18:48
ubuntu_padawanoh can they be loaded the same way as iso's never used um before in virtual box18:49
tomreynhttps://www.howtoforge.com/using-raw-devices-in-virtualbox-vms18:50
tomreynpart 3 is what matters, unless you have a raw disk image file, then you can just use that, i think18:50
ubuntu_padawancheers tomreyn ill check that out!18:50
tomreynubuntu_padawan: keep in mind that the vmdk file created on this how.to is just a translation layer - it accesses the actual hard disk. so don't use that hard disk elsewhere while you use it in virtualbox18:52
tomreyn...or you will loose data18:53
ubuntu_padawandont quiet understand whats the difference between that and .vdi ?18:54
tomreynjust a different format18:55
ubuntu_padawanah i was hoping to have something a bit more robust that i can load on virtual box on a windows machine18:56
ubuntu_padawanso if i created to raw disk copies one for virtualbox and one as a back up that should be fine so long as virtualbox is the only program that access the vmdk?18:59
tomreynubuntu_padawan: the how-to i pointed you to explains how to use an existing raw disk as a backing storage for a virtualbox VM. if you use it this way, you must ensure that only one system uses it at a time. alteratively, you can create a raw disk image (a copy of your existing storage), in VDI file format, and use that in virtualbox.19:22
tomreynthat, too, can only be used in one system at a time. but since it's a copy of the original storage, you could use the original storage and the VDI image of it at the same time.19:23
apb196316.04 LTS: setup a DNS server to authoritative, but I'm having several issues.  The first one that needs resolving is what dig says: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: REFUSED, id: 222219:26
apb1963 named.conf.options here: https://pastebin.com/TCvvkwCV19:26
ubuntu_padawanyeah ive had a look at it and as you siad it seems no different than the way i use virtual disk. the original will be a live server on a different machine, and the copy will be loaded via virtual box for testing purposes, so i dont break my live server  thanks for the info19:26

SlingI used the installer to automatically partition my disk with a boot partition and a single partition with the rest using LVM, I notice that sda1 is /boot, sda2 is an extended partition with sda5 as first logical partition in sda2 (and as LVM pv), does it skip sda3 and sda4 because there can be 2 more primary partitions?22:28
mike-zalwhy do I have /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser and other similar profiles in apparmor on server, when this is minial, fresh instalation?22:28
