ShellcatZerowhat is the proper place to set the TERM variable? It is currently set to xterm-256color in my .zshrc file, but this overrides GNU screen and tmux causing problems, since they both require TERM=screen.01:52

jamespagecpaelzer: good morning!09:22
jamespagecpaelzer: would you have time for a peek at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1754015 ?09:22
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1754015 in libvirt (Ubuntu) "nova-compute-kvm does not pull ipxe-qemu on non-amd64 archs" [Undecided,New]09:22
cpaelzerhi jamespage09:24
cpaelzerdid that get the libvirt tasks just minutes ago?09:24
cpaelzerI don't have any updates in my mail (yet) - just want to ensure I'd have got that without your ping09:25
cpaelzerreading now09:25
cpaelzerjamespage: please think with me while I pass through the bug updates :-)09:27
cpaelzerjamespage: step 1 I agree to coreycb on comment #1/#209:27
cpaelzerreading further ...09:27
jamespagecpaelzer: it did - I just added them09:27
cpaelzerok, makes sense then jamespage09:28
cpaelzerTL;DR: a recommends is the correct dep from the qemu packages09:28
cpaelzerI'll update the bug09:28
jamespagecpaelzer: I was a bit confused as to why on x86 we Depend, but on arm we only recommend?09:29
cpaelzerjamespage: TL;DR x86 needs it to work, ppc/arm only needs it to enhance09:29
cpaelzereven on x86 there would be cases it could be a recommend09:30
cpaelzerbut the general history on this was a depend on x86, so that is kept for compat09:30
cpaelzerif we would follow the depend/recommend definition hard also x86 would become a recommend09:30
cpaelzerOTOH - nobody complains that pulled in on x86, while on arm/ppc there are way more cases this isn't needed09:31
cpaelzerjamespage: ^^09:31
cpaelzerI'd update that on the bug - ok?09:31
jamespageyes thanks!09:31
jamespageI guess if its needed for openstack operation we can pull it in via the charm anyway09:31
cpaelzerjamespage: bug updated, fix dep in nova-compute-kvm or charm would be my suggestion09:34
cpaelzerI'll track the discussion if any arises09:34
cpaelzerthanks for the ping jamespage09:34
jamespagecpaelzer: actually I like nova-compute-kvm09:34
cpaelzerjamespage: I tihnk you are supposed to "like nova-compute-kvm" by your Job :-P09:37
jamespagelo09:38
jamespagecpaelzer: do I need ipxe-qemu-256k-compat-efi-roms as well? or is ipxe-qemu enought?09:40
jamespagemy brain can't remember09:40

adachi there15:23
adacI'm following this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/198003/set-default-kernel-in-grub/224708#22470815:24
adacbut no matter which number I set in GRUB_DEFAULT it always boots me the newest kernel15:25
adacany ideas?15:25
naccadac: did you run `update-grub` after?15:26
adacnacc, yepp15:27
naccadac: did you check the generated file? (/boot/grub/grub.cfg) ?15:27
TJ-adac: what does "grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg; grep GRUB_DEFAULT= /etc/default/grub" show ?15:28
adacTJ-, nacc  https://gist.github.com/anonymous/34c54264871a990690ca3b8b75285d4915:29
naccadac: that reads as GRUB_DEFAULT is unset15:29
naccadac: grep GRUB_DEFAULT /etc/default/grub15:29
naccadac: oh sorry, misread the gist15:29
adacis set to 515:29
TJ-adac: which one do you want to be the default15:29
adac4.4.0-112-generic15:29
adacTJ-, ^^15:30
adacshouldn't the number be 5 for that?15:30
TJ-adac: GRUB_DEFAULT="Advanced options for Ubuntu>Ubuntu, with Linux 4.4.0-112-generic"15:30
adacTJ-, so It doesn't work with the number?15:30
adacmean when I set the number to 515:31
adacI need to add this string?15:31
TJ-adac: yes, but it's easier to use the name since numbers can change... you'd want =6 for the same entry15:31
naccTJ-: gnulinux-4.4.0-116-generic-advanced-e1b951ba-b110-4a81-bf51-23d82e6c92c515:31
adacTJ-, ok that is true15:31
naccis technically a better choice (less prone to string changes)15:32
adacTJ-, still wondering why the number won't work15:32
adacI try now to reboot with this15:32
TJ-adac: especially with sub-menus involved using numbers is a pain, whereas using names is understandable long after it is set, e.g. I have GRUB_DEFAULT="Advanced options for Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS>Linux Mainline-RC for Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS>Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS, with Linux 4.16-rc3-pci_bridge" (2 levels of sub-menu)15:32
adacTJ-, ok I see. Yes I try it out now like this. lets see15:33
adacTJ-, ok now it doesn't boot up anymore at all :D15:34
adachttps://gist.github.com/anonymous/09bd217831753d5a017c481af6b8d34b15:35
adacthis was correct or?15:35
TJ-adac: you sure seem to be good at breaking GRUB :D15:35
adacTJ-, totally :D15:36
adachow can I set this back in a rescue shell?15:36
adac:D15:36
adacmodifiy the generated one or?15:36
adac*generated file15:36
TJ-adac: see what this reports: "grep 'set default=' /boot/grub/grub.cfg" that should match GRUB_DEFAULT=15:36
adacTJ-, is this correct what I have generated? see above15:37
TJ-adac: always set it in /etc/default/grub, then do "sudo update-grub" which writes /boot/grub/grub.cfg based on /etc/default/grub15:37
jamespagecoreycb, cpaelzer: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server-dev/ubuntu/+source/nova/commit/?id=072a1d449e1e37e2a5233f25b7d6568b84b842bc look ok?16:04
cpaelzerjamespage: yes I think so16:05
jamespagedone16:06
jamespagecoreycb: I committed the same fix to the stable/pike branch but I think we can wait until the next point release before uploading16:12
fricklerjamespage: not directly related but nova folks seemed to strongly suggest to drop 17.0.0 and use 17.0.1 instead16:36
jamespageyeah I saw that - I'll ask coreycb nicely :-)16:36
coreycbjamespage: frickler: yep saw that as well, planning to do that today16:37
jamespagecoreycb: ta16:37
fricklercool, thx16:39
coreycbjamespage: thanks for the nova fix16:40
