[00:28] <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.
[00:29] <AirstrikeIvanov> wasn't sure if it is safe to just delete the folder or something simple
[00:57] <AirstrikeIvanov> what is the most lightweight gui for ubuntu server when installing one on top of a base command line install?
[00:58] <AirstrikeIvanov> was trying LXDE but this install on my VM is just totally borked and think it's "destroy vm" time lol
[03:33] <Vicnorfski> anybody online?
[04:44] <casoe84dk> I have a question Does anyone know how to get ubuntu 18.04 back to using dns from dhcp lease instead of systemd
[06:14] <casoe84dk> I have a question Does anyone know how to get ubuntu 18.04 back to using dns from dhcp lease instead of systemd
[09:17] <ice9> when i run "lxc list", it doesn't display any output and the terminal prompt becomes idle
[15:37] <rbasak> RoyK: which problem? Do you have a link please?
[15:47] <RoyK> rbasak: the one about the new installer not supporting raid/lvm/fde/iscsi etc
[15:59] <rbasak> RoyK: I see. Thanks.
[16:47] <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?
[16:48] <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.
[16:49] <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 …
[16:50] <madLyfe> sensors is ok?
[16:50] <RoyK> lmsensors covers 10% of what should be monitored
[16:51] <teward> or less
[16:51] <RoyK> or perhaps less - usually, the issues you see, are on the operating system level
[16:52]  * RoyK started using netsaint around 1999 and switched to nagios when it was released and has ditched that stuff for munin/zabbix later
[16:53] <madLyfe> my servers are just dual processor SM boards that mine XMR
[16:54] <RoyK> well, if you want to monitor a system, don't just look at the hardware  -  most of the issues are in software
[16:55] <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
[16:57] <madLyfe> it gave me temp/fan speed/and watts though.
[16:58] <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
[17:04] <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
[17:07] <RoyK> madLyfe: [Zabbix] PROBLEM: Server imploded due to lack of monitoring - please call
[17:08] <madLyfe> for munin and zabbix
[17:09] <RoyK> munin is very simple to setup
[17:09] <RoyK> just try it
[17:10] <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
[17:47] <specialtr4> TESTING TESTING
[17:55] <specialtr4> TESTING TESTING TESTING TESTING
[18:02] <tomreyn> specialtr4: please test elsewhere
[18:02] <specialtr4> I am maintenance
[18:02] <specialtr4> You cannot talk here right now
[18:02] <specialtr4> This channel is under maintenance
[18:03] <specialtr4> Sorry for the inconvenience.
[18:03] <tomreyn> !ot | specialtr4
[18:03] <specialtr4> I know the rules. Thank you very much.
[18:03] <specialtr4> I am maintenance
[18:03] <specialtr4> This channel is not open right now
[18:03] <specialtr4> I am sorry, but you cannot talk here right now
[18:04] <specialtr4> I have a job to do
[18:07] <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.
[18:08] <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
[18:09] <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
[18:11] <specialtr4> In 20 minutes, we should go on break.
[18:11] <serminet> I agree
[18:11] <serminet> my stomach is growling
[18:12] <serminet> Sorry
[18:12] <specialtr4> NO WORRIES
[18:53] <tomreyn> that was slightly weird
[18:54] <blackflow> that's an understatement :)
[18:55] <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
[19:07] <madLyfe> RoyK: there needs to be 2 servers for munin?
[19:09] <madLyfe> im confused
[19:13] <blackflow> madLyfe: nope
[19:32] <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
[19:33] <RoyK> madLyfe: munin is a nice start to monitoring - zabbix is in my opinion better, but it takes a bit more to setup
[19:40] <madLyfe> heh im not even sure what to do with it.
[19:47] <RoyK> madLyfe: just install it and try
[19:56] <madLyfe> the install was easy
[21:33] <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?
[21:45] <danrik> something more flexible  - that reconnects if network was down or something
