[01:27] <jak2000> hi all, how to fix: https://imgur.com/a/3DpEANH    any advice?  thanks
[05:27] <cpaelzer> good morning
[06:25] <punkgeek> why I get this error? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5zNcjDbRJQ/
[08:53] <jamespage> coreycb: http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/ubuntu-server/cloud-archive/rocky_versions.html up and running
[09:39] <tomreyn> how do i get the currently in use nameservers on 18.04?
[09:40] <tomreyn> this is ubuntu server / systemd-networkd
[09:43] <tomreyn> "systemd-resolve --status" - got it.
[09:43] <TvL2386> just found that out :)
[09:44] <TvL2386> you won :)
[09:53] <Checkmate> Hi is there any way to block brute forcing files on the server or website?
[11:11] <eugenio> Hi in the 18.04 server installer I cannot find the RAID choice at the disk partition stage, am I wrong? I need to install a software raid, how can I solve
[11:20] <rbasak> eugenio: use 18.04.1, or see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes#Server_installer
[11:24] <Ussat> Has the issue with the 18.04.1 not showing all repos been fixed ?
[11:25] <rbasak> Ussat: do you have a bug reference?
[11:26] <Ussat> I saw it here yesterday, but I dont, sorry :(
[11:28] <Ussat> I mean, its not a huge deal for me, I can always continue to use the 18.04 iso and just update from that for my builds
[11:35] <tomreyn> I'm trying to use a quem-KVM hosts' VG as a KVM pool as discussed here https://serverfault.com/questions/352641/how-can-i-use-the-hosts-lvm-vg-as-a-kvm-pool
[11:36] <tomreyn> but the existing volume group doesn't have a device node such as /dev/vg-main, so i don't know what to use as --target
[11:37] <tomreyn> ubuntu doesn't create device nodes for VGs, or does it?
[11:37] <tomreyn> this is an 18.04 host
[11:37] <eugenio> rbasak, I have already tried with the 18.04.1, but I had the same problem
[11:37] <rbasak> tomreyn: look in /dev/mapper/
[11:37] <tomreyn> rbasak: no VGs there
[11:38] <tomreyn> just LVs
[11:38] <rbasak> tomreyn: oh, right
[11:38] <rbasak> You want to know what VGs you have?
[11:39] <tomreyn> i know which VGs i have
[11:39] <tomreyn> i need to know what to provide to the --target parameter to the pool-define-as command to use the existing VG
[11:40] <rbasak> I'm not aware that VGs have ever had device nodes. That seems odd to me. All the commands I've ever used just take VG names.
[11:40] <tomreyn> apparently, other systems (redhat'ish, i guess) do have device nodes for volume groups. i would not know how to create one using mknod, otherwise i'd just do that
[11:41] <tomreyn> look at the serverfault link i posted
[11:41] <rbasak> Does it work if you give it the plain name without a path?
[11:42] <tomreyn> i didnt try, but then i dont see how pool-define-as would know that this is an LVM2 VG
[11:43] <tomreyn> on the serverfault.com post, the person asking has a VG named "vg_fluke", and needs to use --target /dev/vg-main
[11:43] <tomreyn> on the serverfault.com post, the person asking has a VG named "vg_fluke", and needs to use --target /dev/vg_fluke
[11:43] <rbasak> I wonder if you can create the storage pool directly defining it by XML which might include the type.
[11:44] <tomreyn> hmm maybe '--type logical' actually means 'LVM2 VG'
[11:44] <tomreyn> editing the XML yould also work, maybe
[11:48] <rbasak> cpaelzer: I'll take ahasenack's bind9 review. I think you've taken the other two?
[11:49] <tomreyn> gnah, ok, --type logical == LVM VG, and it was as simple as: virsh pool-define-as --name my_vg_name --type logical
[11:50]  * tomreyn thinks too much
[11:50] <cpaelzer> rbasak: yes
[12:16] <ahasenack> rbasak: when you have a moment, could you please check the ndctl and pmdk import? It's behind in cosmic. I think you mentioned we would have to update the snap on the bastion host to have this automatically done, since these are universe packages
[12:17] <rbasak> Sorry, you mentioned that already. I'll add a card to remind myself.
[12:24] <ahasenack> thanks
[12:32] <rbasak> ahasenack: you need sponsorship for bind9 I think?
[12:32] <ahasenack> rbasak: correct, I do
[12:43] <rbasak> ahasenack: pmdk/ndctl should be up to date now and I think should stay up to date (whitelist has made it to the running importer service)
[12:43] <ahasenack> rbasak: just checked, they are, thanks
[12:53] <ahasenack> rbasak: nacc found an old MIR for protobuf for me the other day: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/protobuf-c/+bug/801735
[12:53] <ahasenack> it was accepted, the package made it briefly into main, then back into universe
[12:53] <ahasenack> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/protobuf-c/+publishinghistory very odd
[12:53] <ahasenack> (wrt to the new bind9 delta)
[15:00] <cryptodan_mobile> how would get an updated lamp stack on ubuntu server 14.04.2 i need php5.6 or newer
[15:02] <whislock> cryptodan_mobile: The general recommendation would be to update to a newer LTS release that includes 5.6 or newer by default.
[15:03] <cryptodan_mobile> i cant ubuntu server 14.04.2 is stable as all others produce the aacraid issue
[15:04] <whislock> And which issue is that?
[15:05] <cryptodan_mobile> the raid controller dropping and being unable to boot
[15:06] <whislock> Given that I've used aacraid extensively on Ubuntu of many versions, I would ask if you've opened a case with Microsemi.
[15:06] <whislock> Because sticking with 14.04 isn't going to be viable for long. It only has about nine months of support left.
[15:06] <cryptodan_mobile> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1777586
[15:07] <cryptodan_mobile> that bug
[15:07] <cryptodan_mobile> goes all the way back to 14.04.5 kernel 4.4 and newer
[15:10] <whislock> I assume you've tried updating the card's firmware, and setting the I/O scheduler to noop?
[15:13] <cryptodan_mobile> ive tried the noop no impact, and still trying to find out how to do the upgrade via floppy or cd the card is on the dell pe4600 motherboard
[15:14] <whislock> Because honestly, if you're specifically sitting on the 14.04.2 kernel, you're already out of security support for that kernel.
[15:14] <whislock> Which I understand is less important than a running system, but still hardly ideal.
[15:14] <cryptodan_mobile> i know
[15:14] <whislock> If it's an integrated storage controller, I think it's a BIOS update. Let me dig into the Dell docs.
[15:14] <simion314> hi all, is it ok if I ask a question about the mysql-server here even if I am having issues on a Kubuntu 18.04 dev machine?(not a server)
[15:15] <whislock> cryptodan_mobile: Perc 3/Di?
[15:15] <cryptodan_mobile> yes
[15:16] <cryptodan_mobile> its funny the bug only presents when i start i/o on the system. installs nicely but as soon as i do updates the driver takes a dump
[15:16] <whislock> cryptodan_mobile: It's going to be floppy based. Does it have a removeable memory card on the controller?
[15:17] <whislock> simion314: Can try to help, no promises. :)
[15:17] <cryptodan_mobile> it hs a floppy drive
[15:17] <whislock> cryptodan_mobile: Can you PM me the service tag for the system so I can pull the right docs?
[15:19] <cryptodan_mobile> whislock: https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/servicetag/8llqq41/drivers
[15:19] <simion314> whislock:  thank you, so the scheduled dist-upgrade hanged on the mysql-server package, now dpkg,apt and attempting to restart or start mysql will hang in the terminal, attempting to fix the dpkg error I get this  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wKNcb4HTXq/   but the dpkg does not exit
[15:20] <whislock> simion314: I can't promise that anything I have you do won't eat your data.
[15:21] <simion314> whislock: I also noticed in some output that mysql package post install scripts are erroring are hanging
[15:21] <whislock> cryptodan_mobile: I think there's an option that doesn't require a floppy.
[15:21] <whislock> cryptodan_mobile: https://downloads.dell.com/scsi-raid/PE4600_RAID_FRMW_LX_R168389.BIN
[15:21] <whislock> cryptodan_mobile: That's a Linux-executable binary that should get the job done.
[15:21] <whislock> https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/driversdetails?driverId=DYPXK
[15:22] <whislock> simion314: Are you worried about retaining the data in the database?
[15:23] <simion314> whislock: a bit, I mean it may take me a while to restore it, are you thinking on attempting an apt purge ?
[15:23] <whislock> simion314: No, I'm thinking of running a mysql_upgrade --force
[15:23] <whislock> But I can't promise that that won't be destructive. :(
[15:24] <simion314> whislock: ok, it is test data so is not important to keep it
[15:24] <whislock> You can give it a try.
[15:24] <whislock> And then try to restart the mysql service, and see if things go better.
[15:24] <simion314> whislock: the problem is dpkg is still running there in terminal, if I kill it then I get all those lock files
[15:25] <whislock> Oh, nasty.
[15:25] <whislock> So dpkg is just frozen, huh?
[15:26] <rbasak> If it's hung please report the output of "ps axf" or similar.
[15:26] <simion314> whislock: I get Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) while connecting to the MySQL server
[15:26] <simion314>  same if I try to run mysql
[15:27] <simion314> rbasak: I am not sure if is frozen or waiting for something
[15:29] <simion314> rbasak: here is the output you ask, thanks https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/K6qdyS6Zy2/
[15:30] <whislock> Looks like it's actively working with mysql.
[15:31] <simion314> whislock: it is waiting on the post install scripts
[15:32] <rbasak> simion314: check /var/log/mysql/error.log, but my guess would be that your MySQL installation is broken somehow.
[15:33] <simion314> btw /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.7.postinst conf is empty, is this normal ?
[15:36] <simion314> rbasak:  I found this in the error.log https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zN4rVsPvCr/ mayb ethat lock file is the problem, or just a sympthom, I do not know it's absolute path so  I will search for it
[15:38] <cryptodan_mobile> how would i update the firmware i bashed it and extracted the files and ran the only file with setup in it and im getting typeset found errors
[15:41] <whislock> cryptodan_mobile: "bashed" it?
[15:41] <cryptodan_mobile> bash filename.bin
[15:42] <whislock> And what did it extract?
[15:42] <cryptodan_mobile> a bunch of files that should allow you to flash the firmware
[15:42] <whislock> Pastebin a listing?
[15:43] <cryptodan_mobile> once my ssh connects
[15:45] <cryptodan_mobile> http://termbin.com/kv9h
[15:45] <whislock> And what error did it give you?
[15:47] <simion314> rbasak: I rebooted, then I go in mysql from CLI all works, then if I try to run apt it tells me to do the reconfigure -a thing ro fix the not closing properly issue, the reconfigure runs the mysql post install script and hangs there and mysql stops working, could it be a packaging issue?
[15:50] <cryptodan_mobile> it now updating
[15:51] <cryptodan_mobile> i assume its complete when it returns me to a prompt with no errors
[15:52] <whislock> One assumes!
[15:54] <cryptodan_mobile> i have a newer hp proliant ml350 coming to replace it but one cpu and no drives will be awhile till i get drives and the cpu
[15:55] <whislock> With the new firmware, I'd try a newer kernel. See what happens.
[15:55] <cryptodan_mobile> it booted up lol
[15:55] <whislock> It's a start. :P
[15:57] <cryptodan_mobile> yup
[15:59] <cryptodan_mobile> now how to tell the firmware version from cli
[15:59] <whislock> arcconf GETCONFIG 1, iirc
[16:03] <cryptodan_mobile> ive tried that but nothing prints
[16:05] <TJ-> cryptodan_mobile: it might be reported in dmesg when the driver loads
[16:08] <cryptodan_mobile> looks like it didnt update
[16:14] <whislock> What's the reported version?
[16:18] <cryptodan_mobile> Package version: 2.8.1.7692 Installed version: 2.8.0.6082
[16:18] <whislock> Huh. Weird.

[16:29] <teward> rbasak: this was a while back we discussed this, but did we want to switch the non-LTS interim releases so that when we have NGINX in them we track Mainline, or do we want me to stick to stable branch?
[16:29] <teward> I think we had Mainline because it allowed 'newer features' and such to be available for testing in those 9-month releases

[20:38] <cryptodan_mobile> im going to have to try from a live ubuntu session from a usb drive
[20:45] <SlowJimmy> dear freinds, hello! I have reinstalled ubuntu18.04 on my server style home pc... and i kept every partition intact aside from root style folder which i formated and then installed the new installation on...now i want to remount my old partitions and the flders on them like home and /tmp and the like... do i just use rsync to overwrite everything from my backup? do i just use etc/fstab and be done with it? if i do so /fstab editing ...then do i
[20:45] <SlowJimmy> need to remove the pre-existing folders that came with installation? do i just empty them out?
[20:48] <cryptodan_mobile> SlowJimmy: reinstall and on the partitioning side select use as ext4 but dont format and select the mount points that will do it for you
[20:53] <SlowJimmy> too late i already overinstalled
[20:53] <SlowJimmy> what about all the stuff in / that has changed?
[20:53] <SlowJimmy> can i just overwrite with my rsync-style backup?
[20:54] <SlowJimmy> cryptodan_mobile: would an etc/fstab-style manual edit work?
[20:54] <arooni> how can i keep my DISPLAY variable set correctly (needed for x11 forwarding) when i use tmux?  it seems when using tmux from different machines or ssh sessions display variable is different each time
[20:58] <cryptodan_mobile> SlowJimmy: youd need the guiids
[20:58] <SlowJimmy> i got those
[20:59] <SlowJimmy> they show up whenever i boot up from my live-usb
[20:59] <SlowJimmy> it's part of the path name
[20:59] <SlowJimmy> they also come out with bulkid command
[20:59] <cryptodan_mobile> itll be far easier to just reinstall and do the above
[21:01] <SlowJimmy> ok but what does the etc fstab need to find in root for all the mounted folders that are other partitions?
[21:01] <SlowJimmy> like say /home do i need to create such a folder?
[21:01] <SlowJimmy> like an empty folder? hardlink? symlink? no folder? leave the folder that the installer put there?
[21:29] <cryptodan_mobile> SlowJimmy: those would be crested at partition time
 so, he wants the win. so we're just gonna get lunch or something, then hes gonna push me to the ground and tap my ass with his foot so he can claim he "kicked my ass" tbh im going along with it becase I dont wanna lose any teeth
[21:41] <nacc> SlowJimmy: how many partitions do you have? i'd assume only a few

[22:34] <SlowJimmy> cryptodan_mobile:  so best to remove all yet to be mounted partions and the according folders?
[22:43] <cryptodan_mobile> SlowJimmy: so what is mounted currently
[22:59] <cryptodan_mobile> i asked on dell for my firmware upgrade they said install centos or red hat then update
[23:02] <TJ-> cryptodan_mobile: that's crazy!
[23:06] <cryptodan_mobile> so i will once they reply with any version
[23:14] <tomreyn> there are centos live cd images, e.g. CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveGNOME-1804.iso
[23:15] <cryptodan_mobile> yup but its 32bit
[23:16] <cryptodan_mobile> not 64
[23:16] <tomreyn> 32-bit server?
[23:17] <tomreyn> dell actually provides apt repositories for ubuntu to install firmware updates to (some but probably not all moderls of their) servers
[23:17] <cryptodan_mobile> dell pe4600
[23:21] <tomreyn> this seems to be EOL from dell's perspective
[23:23] <cryptodan_mobile> it is trying to update firmware to see if it mitigates aacraid going offline in newer distros

[23:40] <cryptodan_mobile> is there one for the raid controller.  i dont have sasdupie
