Kiloshi guys, 17:26
inetprogood evening18:18
pavlushkainetpro: good evening :)18:18
inetprooh wow, pavlushka is still alive even :-)18:18
inetprohow are you doing?18:19
pavlushkainetpro:  even there was an earthquake?18:19
inetpronope, you have just been very quiet18:19
pavlushkainetpro: I stopped shaking long before, now I am still.18:19
pavlushkainetpro: https://twitter.com/kokrajhar_town/status/103978210539842764818:24
pavlushkahappens in every 18 years18:26
pavlushkainetpro: I miss you literally, on irc lately18:26
pavlushkaand the people become rare on irc, there must be some explanation, may be chesedo can explain it.18:27
pavlushkaIf I am not wrong, he published a statistical study in Ubuntu may be?18:28
inetproI guess it's partly due to extra functionality that is offered by other clients like slack, mattermost and such18:31
inetprosimple things like responding to a conversation so you can see the thread in full context18:34
pavlushkainetpro: you worked with mattermost server?18:34
inetproI have a local gitlab installation at the office with mattermost for real-time chat18:36
inetproI'm also on the ZATech team on slack, though not always very active there18:40
inetproanother small nicety with both slack and mattermost is that you simply press the up key to edit and correct your last posting18:41
inetproI still wish we could do that with twitter, even if the edit function is only available for a few minutes after a posting18:50
pavlushkacool18:55
pavlushkainetpro: seen maaz or QA?18:58
inetprooh my, no18:58
inetpronot sure whether we still need those anymore18:59
pavlushkainetpro: why? are those resource heavy? or the meeting thing is over?19:00
pavlushkainetpro: not attacking, not personal, so it appears like no community, no new peeps, no passing on!19:01
inetproexactly, we simply don't have the users coming here these days19:01
inetprosad but true19:02
pavlushkainetpro: I recollect your taking a meeting chair silently and later I missed almost every meetings miraculously19:02
inetproway too many distractions19:03
inetpromaybe superfly's fault as well :-)19:05
inetprohim and other peeps now using debian more than ubuntu19:06
inetproI should perhaps also migrate to debian19:07
pavlushkapower cut19:10
pavlushkaSo the user cacooncrunch is gone with his bot, that is maaz.19:11
inetpropavlushka: yep, I guess he gave up on irc19:24
pavlushkainetpro: that was supposed to happen someday but there is no replacement, that's the feature deprecation.19:26
pavlushkainetpro: but hey, its not over yet :)19:26
pavlushkamay be someday someone will provide one. You never know and me too.19:27
pavlushkaagain19:27
pavlushkamay be irc is just on low tide.19:28
inetpromaybe19:36
superflyinetpro: it's always my fault19:54
inetprohaha :-)19:55
inetprosuperfly: glad that you are still lurking here at least 19:56
superflyfolks tend to be on here during my work hours, so I don't get to chat19:56
inetproyou mean on other freenode channels?19:58
inetprosuperfly: while you are here, you mind explaining something for me20:01
inetprohow do packages from repositories in debian eventually land on debian?20:01
inetproI'm specifically looking at something like ovirt-guest-agent at the moment20:02
inetprohttps://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=sourcenames&keywords=ovirt-guest-agent20:02
inetprowith our recent upgrade of ovirt to v4.2 the guest agent is no longer working20:03
superflyPackages get built and then uploaded, usually to unstable. After 10 days or 2 weeks of no issues, those packages get automatically migrated to testing. Once every two years, all the packages in testing are migrated into stable and a release is made.20:03
inetprousing it as was explained at https://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2016-May/039736.html20:04
superflyThe maintainers of the package will do the building and uploading20:04
* inetpro should perhaps have a chat with Vinzenz Feenstra20:04
superflyTotally. Send him an e-mail, I'm pretty sure he'll be happy to help out. I'd say a good 90% of Red Hatters are very friendly and helpful. Probably more, but I gotta be conservative ;-)20:05
superflyinetpro: that post is from 2016 though20:05
superflyinetpro: so things could have changed since then20:06
inetprothe version on his repo is at 1.0.11.320:06
superflyright, I see.20:06
superflyinetpro: what is the problem you're having?20:06
inetprosee: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/evilissimo:/ubuntu:/16.04/xUbuntu_16.04/20:06
inetprosuperfly: I see the version on the debain repositories goes up to 1.0.1320:07
inetprodebian*20:07
superflyyep, in unstrable and testing20:08
superflys/unstrable/unstable/20:08
inetproI'm assuming that even v1.0.12.2 would perhaps work better for us20:09
superflyinetpro: what are you running it on?20:09
inetprowe're still running Ubuntu 16.04 server 20:10
superflyinetpro: The package doesn't seem to depend on particular versions of anything, you can try downloading it and installing it. https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/ovirt-guest-agent/download20:11
inetprowill have to start testing 18.04 asap20:11
superflyIt's always a good idea to start testing as soon as the first point release comes out.20:12
inetprosuperfly: thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that asap in the morning20:13
superflyinetpro: sudo dpkg -i <file>20:13
inetproyeah that makes sense20:13
superflythen run sudo apt -f install afterward to make sure it has everything20:13
inetprogood point, thanks for that as well20:14
inetproinfo about the guest agent (just FYI): https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/internal/guest-agent/understanding-guest-agents-and-other-tools/20:18
inetprodocumentation needs a bit of updating as well, as usual 20:21
inetproHow to install the guest agent in Ubuntu: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/guest-agent/install-the-guest-agent-in-ubuntu/20:21
pavlushkaGood night Za20:21
inetprogood night pav[tab]... oops, too late20:22
inetprosuperfly: the new version doesn't actually fix the issues I'm having 20:59
superflyinetpro: perhaps the more pertinent question to ask then is, "what issues are you having?"20:59
inetprowell, a little research takes me to the heart of it with the following reference 21:00
inetprohttps://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2018-January/086101.html21:00
superflyinetpro: are you seeing the same issues?21:05
superflyinetpro: and did you look at the bug in Red Hat's bugzilla?21:06
inetproby the looks the message above basically summarises the fix, but I just did that and the service is still not starting... but I'm still trying to figure out why21:07
inetprogot it running now21:09
inetproafter doing apt install ovirt-guest-agent --reinstall21:10
superflyhrm, perhaps it was a config problem21:10
inetprothanks for the help21:11
inetprowill have to check it out on a clean install and then figure how I can automate the base install going forward21:12
