|---|---|---|
| apb1963 | I see | 00:00 |
| apb1963 | well, back to the grindstone for me. Thanks again! Happy Thanksgiving if appropriate :) | 00:01 |
| rbasak | There are also cases where multiple packages share a configuration directory | 00:01 |
| rbasak | Or a package drops configuration in for another package in its configuration directory. | 00:01 |
| rbasak | And then it becomes impossible to remove the directory on purge because stuff will be missing upon reinstall, etc. | 00:01 |
| apb1963 | well.. 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 |
| rbasak | I can understand why you want it. But that doesn't make it easy to implement :) | 00:05 |
| apb1963 | nothing worthwhile is ever easy :) | 00:09 |
| rbasak | We don't really think about servers like that any more anyway. | 00:10 |
| rbasak | Put it in a container. Rather than purging the package, throw away the container :) | 00:10 |
| ubuntu_padawan | hi 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 |
| tomreyn | ubuntu_padawan: why an iso? | 18:42 |
| tomreyn | personally i'd just create a raw disk image. it won't fit ona dvd anyways | 18:45 |
| tomreyn | if 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_padawan | tomreyn, hi want to be able to use it in virtual box as well | 18:47 |
| tomreyn | a raw disk image is fine for that | 18:48 |
| ubuntu_padawan | oh can they be loaded the same way as iso's never used um before in virtual box | 18:49 |
| tomreyn | https://www.howtoforge.com/using-raw-devices-in-virtualbox-vms | 18:50 |
| tomreyn | part 3 is what matters, unless you have a raw disk image file, then you can just use that, i think | 18:50 |
| ubuntu_padawan | cheers tomreyn ill check that out! | 18:50 |
| tomreyn | ubuntu_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 virtualbox | 18:52 |
| tomreyn | ...or you will loose data | 18:53 |
| ubuntu_padawan | dont quiet understand whats the difference between that and .vdi ? | 18:54 |
| tomreyn | just a different format | 18:55 |
| ubuntu_padawan | ah i was hoping to have something a bit more robust that i can load on virtual box on a windows machine | 18:56 |
| ubuntu_padawan | so 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 |
| tomreyn | ubuntu_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 |
| tomreyn | that, 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 |
| apb1963 | 16.04 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: 2222 | 19:26 |
| apb1963 | named.conf.options here: https://pastebin.com/TCvvkwCV | 19:26 |
| ubuntu_padawan | yeah 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 info | 19:26 |

| Sling | I 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-zal | why 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 |
