sonicwindI'm reading about usb-c and Thunderbolt 3... very confused, but wondering if Ubuntu supports these yet?00:55
oerhekssonicwind, i believe so, maybe not hot pluggable..01:11
sonicwindthanks01:11

Unicorn_Princesstest04:39
Unicorn_PrincessSorry about that. Anyway, just popped in her to mention that the software update for ubuntu 18.04 LTS opened a window asking me to choose a method for toggling between national and Latin mode. And before that, it asked me to choose what to do about a 20auto-update file, that was supposedly altered on my machine. these are really weird questions for what is normally an uneventful process. there should04:43
Unicorn_Princessprobably be some extra text explaining why they're there04:43
Unicorn_Princess(for the record, I never manually altered the 20auto-update file that's somewhere in /usr/ or something, but I think I did change the auto-update settings in software center maybe)04:45

Olivier[m]👋07:10
Olivier[m]How are you all?07:37
blackflowOkay, how the hell does this thing work. How does clock sources work in VMs. I've turned off all ntp/timesync in a VM to see if kvm-clock sourced from the host would be enough. The host (is a host, of course, of course) has ntp active.10:16
blackflowTurns out.... the VM has been SHUT OFF for a few days.... Turns out, time's off. what the f. it's been off. what fell out of sync if the VM was off.10:16
blackflowtimedatectl shows "RTC time" one second ahead of universal/local. so.... what was tracking universal/local, while the VM was off, that it drifted for one whole second.10:17
lotuspsychjeblackflow: can this help in any way? https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/83934/how-do-i-prevent-time-drift-in-a-debian-guest-on-a-centos-kvm-host10:33
blackflowlotuspsychje: not quite. I know how that part works. That's why I'm totally failing to understand how can a VM that has been shut off for days, drift at all. The VM wasn't running, there's no memory location kept for its virtualized clock. The host has been rebooted several times since.10:35
lotuspsychjeblackflow: last answer say heavy cpu can make it drift too10:35
oerhekstime for +R10:36
blackflowlotuspsychje: but _what_ drifts if the VM was off? :)10:36
lotuspsychjeblackflow: how about this: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/avoiding-clock-drift-vms10:36
lotuspsychjenot sure how offline happens..10:40
lotuspsychjebad sync maybe?10:40
lotuspsychjeit cant work if its off right10:40
blackflowprecisely, and time on the host is correct.10:40
lotuspsychje##networking might know this one10:41
blackflowOh I think I know what it is, and I have to research this further to confirm. The system clock on the host is NOT synced back to hardware until reboot. VMs get time from hardware for their own system clock. host's system clock might be correct because it's syncing via ntp, but that doesn't update hardware and thus VMs don't have the corrections.10:41
lotuspsychjethat sounds logical10:42
blackflowIf so.... incredibly stupid and someone should be fired for that desing. Hell, no, sent to quartz mines for the rest of their lives.10:42
lotuspsychjelol10:42
blackflowand you know who taht is? I'm using systemd-timesyncd on the host.......  :)))10:43
lotuspsychje:p10:43
blackflowgonna go back to openntpd for a while, see how that works.10:44
lotuspsychjebbl smoked salmon salad a la lotus10:44
blackflowYUMMY10:44
lotuspsychje:p10:44
jink:D10:44
blackflowokay assumptions half-confirmed. restarting timesyncd on the host automagically corrected the time in the VM.10:48
blackflowhrm.... no, not openntpd. chrony. openntpd on linux doesn't do constraints apparently. so no advantage there.10:53

daftykins:D12:09
daftykinsabout to be some 33 deg C heat tomorrow and no AC in this place, so i'm going to escape south to visit a friend and his wife12:10
BluesKajgood move :-)12:13
BluesKajour house became practically unbearable in the heat waves that started 10 yrs ago here, so we installed an AC unit...works quite well. It makes our living space much more comfortable.12:16
daftykinsmmm i'd love one, though normally it's only a few days a year that are only slightly challenging - and the ground floor is fine due to having several feet thick granite walls12:20

lotuspsychjethat resulted fast18:17
lotuspsychjelow support & rising trolls are the worst18:19
Bashing-omLost interest in supporting qwebircXXXX - he does not seem to put a lot of effort into the learning curve .18:20
naccyeah, it was weird18:21
naccand honestly, it's weird they were putting a GUI on a tensorflow machine18:21
oerheksthis is wanna make me stop helping qwebirc dudes, if they don't change the name, they are fake18:21
lotuspsychjethe weird thing is, sometimes 1 is real out of them18:21
lotuspsychjehow can we filter properly..18:21
oerheksask them to change name, and wait18:21
naccit's also really hard to help them over multiple days without a distinct nick18:22
lotuspsychjethats true for sure18:22
lotuspsychjewe should complain on qweb itself, they need to force usernames fill in18:22
lotuspsychjelemme check that site18:24
naccoerheks: i pinged the ops18:26
lotuspsychjethey are playing with each other again18:26
oerheksnacc,  thanks, i just ignore that dude, and his ip from now on, i have a list :-D18:28
naccoerheks: yeah i do too, but for everyone else18:28
oerheksi would love to write my own python program, that recognize ip/nicks and some marking/info details, but then again, that violates GDRP18:30
oerhekssort of plugin for hexcaht18:30
