| AirstrikeIvanov | Hey guys I have a 24GB VM running Ubuntu and despite the filesystem reporting being 5.8GB used, it shows I only have 750MB free space - I was told it's /lost+found but not sure how to empty that out. I don't need to restore the data or anything. | 00:28 |
|---|---|---|
| AirstrikeIvanov | wasn't sure if it is safe to just delete the folder or something simple | 00:29 |
| AirstrikeIvanov | what is the most lightweight gui for ubuntu server when installing one on top of a base command line install? | 00:57 |
| AirstrikeIvanov | was trying LXDE but this install on my VM is just totally borked and think it's "destroy vm" time lol | 00:58 |
| Vicnorfski | anybody online? | 03:33 |

| ice9 | when i run "lxc list", it doesn't display any output and the terminal prompt becomes idle | 09:17 |
| rbasak | RoyK: which problem? Do you have a link please? | 15:37 |
| RoyK | rbasak: the one about the new installer not supporting raid/lvm/fde/iscsi etc | 15:47 |
| rbasak | RoyK: I see. Thanks. | 15:59 |
| madLyfe | when you ssh in to server 18 you get a system information readout. is there a way to call that print out again? maybe watch it? | 16:47 |
| RoyK | madLyfe: there's a lot of software for monitoring things, from munin to zabbix to old nagios/icinga to - well - who knows | 16:48 |
| * RoyK uses munin and zabbix | 16:48 | |
| madLyfe | well ive just been using watch sensors | 16:48 |
| madLyfe | but when you log in, now you get a quick little readout. | 16:48 |
| teward | madLyfe: if you're using that for monitoring current system uses I would not trust it | 16:49 |
| teward | I'd much sooner trust the various outputs of various commands, or zabbix/munin/nagios to report proper values | 16:49 |
| teward | especially if you want somewhat realtime tracking | 16:49 |
| RoyK | usually there's a lot more that should be monitored - what happens with a bad drive, or a dead fan, or a full drive or something filling up your network or … | 16:49 |
| madLyfe | sensors is ok? | 16:50 |
| RoyK | lmsensors covers 10% of what should be monitored | 16:50 |
| teward | or less | 16:51 |
| RoyK | or perhaps less - usually, the issues you see, are on the operating system level | 16:51 |
| * RoyK started using netsaint around 1999 and switched to nagios when it was released and has ditched that stuff for munin/zabbix later | 16:52 | |
| madLyfe | my servers are just dual processor SM boards that mine XMR | 16:53 |
| RoyK | well, if you want to monitor a system, don't just look at the hardware - most of the issues are in software | 16:54 |
| teward | ^ this | 16:55 |
| RoyK | lmsensors won't show you the cpu use - it won't show you memory pressure, swap usage, SMART data from the disks etc | 16:55 |
| madLyfe | it gave me temp/fan speed/and watts though. | 16:57 |
| teward | that's only enough to get the basic info about your fans and temp gagues. the other things you *Really* need to focus on are swap usage, SMART data from disks, memory usage/queues/pressure, etc. | 16:58 |
| teward | and to be frank that little 'system info' readout is basically pulling data from what other commands go and check anyways | 16:58 |
| RoyK | madLyfe: there are plugins for temp/fan etc for the mentioned software solutions. If there aren't, it's trivial to write them yourself, and *ding*, a fancy webui with automatic email alerts if something goes wrong | 17:04 |
| RoyK | madLyfe: [Zabbix] PROBLEM: Server imploded due to lack of monitoring - please call | 17:07 |
| madLyfe | for munin and zabbix | 17:08 |
| RoyK | munin is very simple to setup | 17:09 |
| RoyK | just try it | 17:09 |
| RoyK | zabbix is a bit harder, but far better in terms of scalability and what it can monitor | 17:10 |
| RoyK | apt install munin | 17:10 |
| RoyK | and it just works - and then just add whatever plugin you need | 17:10 |

| specialtr4 | I know the rules. Thank you very much. | 18:03 |

| specialtr4 | This channel is not open right now | 18:03 |
| specialtr4 | I am sorry, but you cannot talk here right now | 18:03 |
| specialtr4 | I have a job to do | 18:04 |
| serminet | Special are you here? | 18:07 |
| specialtr4 | sure am | 18:07 |
| serminet | We do the usual, right? | 18:07 |
| specialtr4 | yes. We are just doing a basic maintenance run here | 18:07 |
| specialtr4 | That is all they requested. | 18:07 |
| serminet | Ok the | 18:08 |
| serminet | then | 18:08 |
| serminet | Lets get this show on the road | 18:08 |
| serminet | Any problems yet? | 18:08 |
| specialtr4 | not much | 18:08 |
| specialtr4 | but I barely started lol | 18:08 |
| specialtr4 | How was the movie last night? | 18:09 |
| serminet | Not as good as I expected | 18:09 |
| specialtr4 | oh, thats a shame | 18:09 |
| specialtr4 | TESTING TESTING | 18:09 |
| specialtr4 | MAINTENANCE UNDERWAY | 18:09 |
| specialtr4 | In 20 minutes, we should go on break. | 18:11 |
| serminet | I agree | 18:11 |
| serminet | my stomach is growling | 18:11 |
| serminet | Sorry | 18:12 |
| specialtr4 | NO WORRIES | 18:12 |
| tomreyn | that was slightly weird | 18:53 |
| blackflow | that's an understatement :) | 18:54 |
| hggdh | tomreyn: he has been trolling many #u channels with this testing and pretending to be a Canonical person | 18:55 |
| gunix | do you think keepalived would be easier to configure with ansible or with k8s ? | 18:55 |
| tomreyn | i see | 18:55 |
| madLyfe | RoyK: there needs to be 2 servers for munin? | 19:07 |
| madLyfe | im confused | 19:09 |
| blackflow | madLyfe: nope | 19:13 |
| RoyK | madLyfe: no, just one, munin server, which is cron-based, and munin-node, which is the client, running at whatever you want to monitor | 19:32 |
| RoyK | madLyfe: munin is a nice start to monitoring - zabbix is in my opinion better, but it takes a bit more to setup | 19:33 |
| madLyfe | heh im not even sure what to do with it. | 19:40 |
| RoyK | madLyfe: just install it and try | 19:47 |
| madLyfe | the install was easy | 19:56 |
| danrik | is /etc/fstab still a go-to way for mounting samba shares? or is systemd preferred nowadays given that network dependency can be specified and such? | 21:33 |
| danrik | something more flexible - that reconnects if network was down or something | 21:45 |
