[00:28] 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] wasn't sure if it is safe to just delete the folder or something simple [00:57] what is the most lightweight gui for ubuntu server when installing one on top of a base command line install? [00:58] was trying LXDE but this install on my VM is just totally borked and think it's "destroy vm" time lol [03:33] anybody online? === root_ is now known as Guest88964 [04:44] I have a question Does anyone know how to get ubuntu 18.04 back to using dns from dhcp lease instead of systemd === root_ is now known as Guest41325 === jhebden is now known as ec0 [06:14] 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] when i run "lxc list", it doesn't display any output and the terminal prompt becomes idle [15:37] RoyK: which problem? Do you have a link please? [15:47] rbasak: the one about the new installer not supporting raid/lvm/fde/iscsi etc [15:59] RoyK: I see. Thanks. [16:47] 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] 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] well ive just been using watch sensors [16:48] but when you log in, now you get a quick little readout. [16:49] madLyfe: if you're using that for monitoring current system uses I would not trust it [16:49] I'd much sooner trust the various outputs of various commands, or zabbix/munin/nagios to report proper values [16:49] especially if you want somewhat realtime tracking [16:49] 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] sensors is ok? [16:50] lmsensors covers 10% of what should be monitored [16:51] or less [16:51] 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] my servers are just dual processor SM boards that mine XMR [16:54] well, if you want to monitor a system, don't just look at the hardware - most of the issues are in software [16:55] ^ this [16:55] 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] it gave me temp/fan speed/and watts though. [16:58] 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] and to be frank that little 'system info' readout is basically pulling data from what other commands go and check anyways [17:04] 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] madLyfe: [Zabbix] PROBLEM: Server imploded due to lack of monitoring - please call [17:08] for munin and zabbix [17:09] munin is very simple to setup [17:09] just try it [17:10] zabbix is a bit harder, but far better in terms of scalability and what it can monitor [17:10] apt install munin [17:10] and it just works - and then just add whatever plugin you need [17:47] TESTING TESTING [17:55] TESTING TESTING TESTING TESTING [18:02] specialtr4: please test elsewhere [18:02] I am maintenance [18:02] You cannot talk here right now [18:02] This channel is under maintenance [18:03] Sorry for the inconvenience. [18:03] !ot | specialtr4 [18:03] specialtr4: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [18:03] I know the rules. Thank you very much. [18:03] I am maintenance [18:03] This channel is not open right now [18:03] I am sorry, but you cannot talk here right now [18:04] I have a job to do [18:07] Special are you here? [18:07] sure am [18:07] We do the usual, right? [18:07] yes. We are just doing a basic maintenance run here [18:07] That is all they requested. [18:08] Ok the [18:08] then [18:08] Lets get this show on the road [18:08] Any problems yet? [18:08] not much [18:08] but I barely started lol [18:09] How was the movie last night? [18:09] Not as good as I expected [18:09] oh, thats a shame [18:09] TESTING TESTING [18:09] MAINTENANCE UNDERWAY [18:11] In 20 minutes, we should go on break. [18:11] I agree [18:11] my stomach is growling [18:12] Sorry [18:12] NO WORRIES [18:53] that was slightly weird [18:54] that's an understatement :) [18:55] tomreyn: he has been trolling many #u channels with this testing and pretending to be a Canonical person [18:55] do you think keepalived would be easier to configure with ansible or with k8s ? [18:55] i see [19:07] RoyK: there needs to be 2 servers for munin? [19:09] im confused [19:13] madLyfe: nope [19:32] 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] madLyfe: munin is a nice start to monitoring - zabbix is in my opinion better, but it takes a bit more to setup [19:40] heh im not even sure what to do with it. [19:47] madLyfe: just install it and try [19:56] the install was easy [21:33] 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] something more flexible - that reconnects if network was down or something
