[00:04] Hello everyone! I'm using overlayroot, so my rootfs is mounted ro in /media/root-ro/. When I do want to make changes, I do "mount -o remount,rw /media/root-ro/" and make changes below that folder. Recently, that stopped working and I now have to enter "mount -o remount,rw /media/root-ro" (note no ending slash) to make it work. Can anybody please help me figure out why this changed?

[00:08] nacc, trying to resize my root partition to max vdisk size [00:08] realies: sorry, was away. If the 'disk' is GPT labelled you first need to relocate the secondary/backup GPT to end of disk, easiest to do that using "sgdisk -e /dev/vda" [00:08] realies: that is unlikely to be sr0 [00:09] realies: GPT installs master at start of disk, and secondary at end of disk. When you enlarge the enclosing file you have to first relocate the secondary to the new end of disk [00:09] TJ-, https://dpaste.de/ocrk/raw [00:09] i guess it's time for pvresize > lvextend > resize2fs [00:09] realies: right, so now do "partprobe /dev/vda" [00:10] realies: no, we've still got to resize partition 3 :) [00:10] no output of partprobe TJ- [00:10] !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | jk^ [00:10] jk^: ubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used media codecs and fonts for Ubuntu.

I do not run a GUI so can not advise . [00:17] Bashing-om, i use lubuntu [00:21] realies: sorted it... -1 is a count from end-of-disk. Seeing as parted knows there's a 34-sector secondary GPT header I /assumed/ it'd calculate -1 from the end of free space, but it doesn't!

[00:23] realies: if that works you'll need to do "partprobe /dev/vda" to ensure the kernel knows about it, then - finally - "pvresize /dev/vda3; lvextend -l 100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root; resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root; df" [00:25] New size given (2560 extents) not larger than existing size (3846 extents) Run `lvextend --help' for more information.

[00:25] oh :) yes [00:25] realies: "lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root; resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root; df" [00:26] TJ- it worked :o [00:26] realies: Finally :P [00:26] ty so much [00:26] that was a lot harder than i anticipated [00:27] realies: it's an operation no-one does frequently enough to remember [00:28] realies: parted is clever and ultra-dumb at the wrong times, unfortunately [00:34] TJ-, not even sure of the correct order of things anymore... :) [00:35] why is it not documented somewhere online?

[01:15] Hitechcg: sysadmins are working on the 503 issues [01:18] what happened TJ- ? [01:19] i am new to linux. i have cloned an open source project from git in c++ can someone help me with how to start working on that project as i have always used IDE on windows before. [01:19] i486: no information currently, but it's being dealt with [01:20] TJ- what broke? [01:20] Welcome uzumaki [01:21] hey TJ :D [01:21] uzumaki: if you've cloned a project the 1st thing is to change into the project directory. If you did, for example, git clone https://domain.com/project.git you'll have a new directory "project" so "cd project" then list the files there with "ls -al" [01:22] uzumaki: All terminal/shell commands on Linux are CaSe SeNsItIvE and almost all commands are all lower case [01:23] uzumaki: file and directory names are also case sensitive on almost all file-systems, except for NTFS and vfat/exfat [01:23] i am familiar with basic command line so i have no problem in that actually i was hoping to find help with compiling and starting applications and cpp files [01:24] uzumaki: well, that is usually very project-specific. It depends on which build tooling the project's developers chose [01:24] and how to @ any specific person in IRC? lol i am new to IRC too [01:25] uzumaki: usually there'll be a README file in the root of project with some details [01:25] uzumaki: tab-completion for names in most IRC clients [01:26] TJ- thanks i'll look into it [01:27] uzumaki: as I said in the sysadmin channel, ##programmers and/or ##c++ might help as well [01:27] uzumaki: ooops, typo! ##programming [01:28] sure, i'll join them all too [01:32] Hi!

[01:38] doux: Yes [01:38] TJ-: thanks [01:38] doux: the usual way to do it is to mount the rootfs to the chroot directory, bind-mount proc sys dev dev/pts, chroot /target and "mount -a" to read and automount from fstab [01:39] TJ-: ah, a little more complicated than just chrooting in... [01:40] doux: e.g. "sudo mkdir /target; sudo mount /dev/sda3 /target; for n in proc sys dev dev/pts; do sudo mount --bind /$n /target/$n; done; sudo chroot /target" then "mount -a" and do what you need to do === Amm0n| is now known as Amm0n [01:41] TJ-: Thanks for that!

[02:33] yes [02:33] how to tl-wn8200nd insatlling [02:34] ganbat: its been a while since ive actually installed wifi adapters, ubuntu should already configure for one like that, a tp-link, what version of ubuntu are you using...

I'm rusty. === lordcirth_ is now known as lordcirth [02:59] masber, there's a guy here who implies that setting collectl.conf fixes it: https://sourceforge.net/p/collectl/discussion/696865/thread/24979ba5/ [03:00] lordcirth_, yes I saw that they didn't specify which fixes... I also checked collectl documentation about the config file and could not find anything [03:00] lordcirth, I also tried collectl -sD --dskfilt nvme0n1 which didn't work [03:03] lordcirth, this works in centos out of the box. I checked the configuration files and they both same on ubuntu and centos [03:03] so it has to be something else [03:03] something specific in ubuntu [03:04] masber, is the version of collectl the same? [03:04] good point, let me check [03:04] lordcirth: beat me to it [03:05] centos --> collectl V4.3.0-1 (zlib:2.061,HiRes:1.9725) : ubuntu --> collectl V4.0.4-1 (zlib:2.068,HiRes:1.9726) so ubuntu is slightly more recent [03:05] ah no sorry [03:05] centos is more recent [03:06] that may explain [03:06] masber: upgrade to 17.10 [03:08] masber: try adding this line to /etc/collectl.conf DiskFilter = /cciss/c\d+d\d+ |hd[ab] | sd[a-z]+ |dm-\d+ |xvd[a-z] |fio[a-z]+ | vd[a-z]+ |emcpower[a-z]+ |psv\d+ |nvme\d+n\d / [03:10] TJ-, no luck [03:11] TJ-, sorry it works!

[09:19] xorg quite surely [09:19] lotspsychje: [09:19] lotuspsychje [09:20] ok [09:22] hi everyone, i am connecting to server through ssh . I've run command to start an ongoing process. If I cancel ssh connection does the process also stops? [09:23] you need to use "screen" command for such cases [09:30] diskin, ok thanks i will take a look [09:31] !screen | maret [09:31] maret: screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [09:42] it took me hours to figure out all the quirks of systemd but now I definitely know more [09:42] however, it also sprouted a certain hate for systemd... lol [09:42] I'm inside my home machine with ssh. If I would have logged in using a shell it would have automounted my partitions. How do I do this via ssh? [09:45] @Fire-Dragon-DoL, I would like to see it as an extension for init [09:46] I still struggle to understand the whole startup. There is init.d, systemd, but there is also the `rc` script which i don't remember the exact name [09:46] oh and there is the `service` command [09:48] This is just for sysvinit backwards compatibility if I remember it right.. [09:55] yeah I guessed it was because of that [09:55] still, very confusing [09:55] and the instructions on web are so updated [09:55] I didn't know systemd was the one that should be used [09:55] I like the dependency and grouping system though [09:56] that will simplify my server setup a lot [09:57] ssarah, what partition is it not mounting? [09:58] all of them. normally on a graphical login they all mount [09:58] or they mount as i click on them in thunar [09:58] you can say "sudo mount -a" to mount what is in /etc/fstab [09:58] if i run thunar through ssh -X it will tell me im not authorized. if i run sudo thunar it will not list the partitions [09:58] ssarah: as long as they are listed in fstab, all your filesystems should be mounted either way [09:59] they are not listed in fstad [09:59] im using xubuntu, mind you [10:00] you can say "sudo mount /dev/ /// causative, i know, but like i said, on a graphical login it will list all available partitions and then mount them for you (after you if you click on them via the desktop or thunar i believe) [10:02] ssarah: are these fuse-mounted things? [10:02] im using thunar remotely via ssh -X [10:03] hey [10:03] how od I oopoen README.md file [10:04] .md has strange code [10:04] it's markdown [10:04] language [10:06] We can't get you ilfpott_ . What's the issue? Shed more light. [10:06] ilfpott_, apt-cache search markdown <- pick one ? :) [10:07] hateball, I'm not sure what your question means. [10:08] ssarah: I mean that if you log in graphically, click say... an NTFS-partition, that'll use fuse to mount the partition in your user context and not using fstab [10:08] i have no idea what the standard behaviour on xubuntu is [10:08] ssarah: and so it would not get auto-mounted when you log in through a non-graphical shell [10:09] so hateball, can i trigger the fuse mount via shell ? [10:09] ssarah: sure, "fusermount" [10:09] ssarah: likely there is a config saved for it that autoruns on GUI session start [10:10] $ fusermount: missing mountpoint argument [10:12] yes, you'd need to know what and where to mount, hence why I said there's probably a config saved by the GUI that you could look at [10:12] or just add em to fstab [10:12] you happen to know where that file is? [10:12] That works also :D [10:12] ssarah: Sorry no, I use KDE with kio, it's not the same as gnome or xfce which uses gvfs I think? [10:13] Hi all. I tried to update mariadb on ubuntu 14.04. After the update, maria wouldn't start. [10:13] but like Ben64 says, make a permanent mount in /etc/fstab and it doesnt matter where you login from [10:13] howdy [10:13] Now when I try to do 'service mysql start', the prompt just hangs [10:13] are apt-get update zesty updates done with? [10:13] doing a grep -r fusermount on my home [10:14] I've got a feeling that I might have more thatn on mysql client installed. How can I check this? [10:14] bobdobbs, try service mysql status or go do a tail -f on the log file [10:15] ssarah: at one terminal, I'm trying to start it. From the other term 'service mysql status' returns "post-start process 13548" [10:15] ssarah: I'll check the log file. (last time I checked it was pretty bare) [10:16] /var/log/mysql.err is empty. [10:16] ssarah: I'll see what else is happening in the log directory [10:16] I think you should also ask for help in #mariadb [10:17] ssarah: sure thing. But I suspect that this is an ubuntu admin issue [10:17] Shawn|C2Duo: zesty is eol, you need to upgrade to artful [10:17] ssarah: there's another dir: 'var/log/mysql'. It has a sing file: error.log. That log just shows a successful shutdown [10:18] nothing really there: https://hastebin.com/xusaziwune.pl [10:18]
