JenshaeHi. I am trying to connect remotely to a Ubuntu server. Between me and it, there is a UTM + Windows domain controller. Currently, I can get into it via Windows RDP -> Win terminal session -> Putty -> SSH. Ideally, I would like to have a graphical session via freerdp. Any config / guides that you can recommend to help?12:50
jamespagecoreycb: hey do you have any bionic-proposed updates pending testing? running a regression test now so may as well mark any other bugs pending as tested13:10
jamespageJenshae: erm well13:11
jamespageJenshae: ubuntu server does not come with any sort of graphical environment installed by default that you can connect to13:11
jamespageSSH is the default method13:12
coreycbjamespage: no, nothing in particular. if you're also testing queens-proposed there are security updates that need regression testing.13:15
jamespagecoreycb: I will be doing the UCA next13:16
coreycbjamespage: great, thanks13:16
jamespagecoreycb: np13:16
arunsHey guys, need some help, working on a dedicated backup server running on Ubuntu 18.04 for a client, and cannot connect to an ethernet interface named ens1f1 - it shows up under ip link show and when I do dmesg | grep 'ens1f1' - but not sure how to proceed. If I try to SSH into the machine, I get the following: nc: getaddrinfo: Servname not supported for ai_socktype13:42
arunsSo I presume that I cannot SSH into the machine because it has no network connectivity.13:43
arunsI can bring up the contents of /etc/network/interfaces if needed.13:43
avuaruns: does `ip a` show valid addresses for the interface?14:05
arunsYes.14:08
arunsA static IP of 192.168.111.25 has been set for the interface.14:09
arunsip a shows both 192.168.111.25/24 and 192.168.111.202/2414:09
arunsFor the ens1f1 interface.14:09
arunsDoes that seem correct?14:10
avuhaving two different IPs in the same subnet doesn't seem correct, no14:14
Ussatwhy not ? you can have multiple IP's in same subnet14:19
avusure, if you do it on purpose and set up the system to know which address to use in which case14:22
avusince aruns only mentioned a static IP being configured, I assumed that the second one didn't happen on purpose which leads me to believe that the configuration of the interface is not reflecting what the user wants to achieve14:27
arunsYeah, it's a client server as well, they gave us carte blanche to do what we want but also a limited deadline :/14:32
avuaruns: not sure how that relates. Did you mean to give the machine two different IPs on the same subnet on the same interface?14:35
TJ-Unexpected issue on 18.04 - adding a gretap interface also creates an erspan interface, and then "ip link del XXXX" seems to silently fail for each of the erspan/gretap/gre interfaces that were created. Anyone have experience of this or suggestions on what's going on?16:34
Jenshaejamespage: I did install LXDE and x2goserver, I can connect to it on the LAN. It is routing a connection from a remote site to it that I am struggling with. Is there some sort of config for it to listen to connection from the UTM, etc that I need to do?18:16
JenshaeOh and on an 18.04 note, I couldn't install it via manual partitioning. I ended up using a desktop persistent USB to use gparted, then I could only install 16.04, upgraded to 18.04 and now things like NetworkManager doesn't work.18:18
JenshaeCan't remember the new thing, some nmap config thing that search results are returning?18:19
sarnoldJenshae: there's some known issues mentioned in the release notes that might be related to your partitioning problem https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes#Known_issues18:24
Jenshaesarnold: It was to do with swap space, it kept trying to grab space that I wanted to leave and use in ZFS raid and then it wanted an encrypted space but couldn't mount the partitions I allocated to it after encrypting them. That was raw.18:28
JenshaeI was trying to have Drive 1: 5.5GB for /boot, 10GB for LVM / Raid 5 /root, the rest of the space as a software raid.18:29
JenshaeDrives 2-3, the first partition was LVM swap, then I tried having the first partitions as raw.18:30
nacc5.5 GB /boot ??18:34
tewardum... that's huge18:36
naccand a waste of space in general, I'd think18:36
=== kallesbar_ is now known as kallesbar
nacca 10GB /root is also ... weird18:37
tewardnacc: I can understand a 512MB or 1GB /boot if you don't want to have to autoremove old kernels regularly, but 5GB is obscene :|18:38
naccteward: agreed18:38
UssatI do 2GB18:41
Ussat5 is ...big18:41
jellyI always put a 4GB recovery live .iso in /boot, you don't?18:42
* jelly hides18:42
teward*finds jelly, drags jelly out into the desert, ties them to a pole, then returns, leaving jelly in the desert alone*18:42
teward(just kidding!)18:42
jellyyou can't drag a jelly anyway18:43
naccJenshae: --^ fwiw, those comments were for you :) [not the stuff about jelly, before that]18:43
jellywell they weren't for them as much as about their unusual specs18:44
jelly(grml-rescueboot is neat tho, even if not completely serious)18:45
sarnoldwhen the drives are 10tb fiddling over a few gigs here or there feels a bit funny :)18:46
Jenshaenacc 10GBx4 /root and the 5.5GB /boot is because sometimes for some reason apt will use /boot to temporarily store files + symmetry with the other drives.18:46
naccsarnold: ah, sorry, missed that context18:48
sarnoldnacc: I don't know how large Jenshae's drives *actually* are.. it's just amused me in the past that this problem feels easy enough to address by the application of more money :)18:49
jellyusing raid5 for / seems silly as well, in that case18:49
naccsarnold: absolutely18:49
jellynothing wrong with raid10 or raid118:49
JenshaeWell, in the end I resorted to getting another drives, setting it up as the boot one, nothing interesting, no RAID config, etc. Then just attached the four drives as ZFS pool.18:50
