plmTJ-: any good news? :)00:26
TJ-plm: I have an 18.04 armhf LXD container running. I'd need to do a lot more tests to discover any potential problems though.00:27
plmTJ-: hmm good. Can I to do the same with 16.4?00:28
plmTJ-: do you have a simple tutorial to me replicate here with 16.4?00:28
plmTJ-: so reaaly works with LXD arm on x86_64 =D00:29
plm*really00:29
TJ-plm: I'll do some thorough testing because Stefan indicated some tooling may have problems. Once it seems OK I'll publish a script to automate creating the local hybrid image00:29
plmTJ-: great TJ- =D00:30
plmTJ-: do you think that tomorrow until afternoon do you will publishthat script?00:31
TJ-plm: so far what I had to do is copy in the x86 systemd package contents, and the supporting libraries00:31
plmTJ-:  will be great have a simple  way to run a full ubuntu armhf on x8600:31
TJ-plm: if you want to help test it I'll publish it via a git repository so you can pull it in and test also00:32
plmTJ-: of course00:32
plmTJ-: please, after you publish the script, just tell me git repos urls I I can test it.00:32
plmTJ-: can I use 16.4 in my test?00:33
TJ-plm: I'll write the script to handle whatever base container(s) you prefer.00:34
plmTJ-: great =D I'm glad for that ;)00:34
plmTJ-: I need to go now. What is the git repos url do will put the script? So tomorrow early I will check and test it00:35
TJ-plm: basically it fetches both the x86 and arm images for the same release, exports and extracts them, copies files from the x86 into the arm, adds qeum-arm-static, repackages it then imports it as a local LXD image  that you can then create containers from00:36
TJ-plm: I'll send you info via the memoserv here on freenode00:36
plmTJ-: momoserv is like as private message?00:36
sarnold"private"00:37
TJ-plm: yes. server will tell you there are messages when you log-on, or whilst online00:37
plmTJ-: all right00:37
plmTJ-:  thank you!00:37
plmTJ-: see you later00:37
TJ-plm: then you can use "/msg memoserv read new" to read them00:37
plmTJ-: all right00:37
wrcan i have a GUI with xfce4 on a ubuntu 16.04? installed xfce4 and lightdm but user doesnt login, what am i missing?02:24
sarnoldwr: you may have better luck in #ubuntu02:25
wrsarnold, i mean ubuntu server 16.0402:47
sarnoldwr: hmm that would indeed be a more awkward question.. #ubuntu folks are more accustomed to starting from *something* and #ubuntu-server folks aren't accustomed to doing gui things beyond their laptops.. :)02:48
sarnoldwr: well, okay, the Usual Troubleshooting checklists.. what happens? what do you expect to happen? do you get error messages in the log files or dmesg?02:49
wrsarnold, yes but i need to test a thing and use webmin02:49
wrsarnold, i did a fresh install of a minimal ubuntu server 16.04, then i added xfce4 for a test, but on login wasn't logging in, havent looked on dmesg yet, by the the way the ubuntu is on a virtual machine02:51
sarnold"wasn't logging in" -- did you get a specific error message? from getty? gdm? lightdm? whhat?02:52
wrsarnold, no error, how do you install xfce4 on the server from core ubuntu? maybe i missed a package02:56
wrsarnold, i just did a apt-get install xfce4 lightdm on server maybe missed something, no?02:58
sarnoldwr: hrm. that's a pretty good starting point. did xorg get installed too?03:00
wrsarnold, didnt install that package, need that one too i guess03:00
wrsarnold, xorg is there03:09
sarnoldwr: when the machine comes up do you get a getty-style prompt to login or an xdm-style window to log in?03:09
wrsarnold, forgot to say to on login have error "failed to start session", i get this https://imgur.com/Vc0QRGO03:19
wr*too03:26
sarnoldwr: hmm, good luck. I dunno much about the gui-land once you've already gotten that far..03:27

cpaelzerrbasak: since I saw you around, if you have a few minutes for that MP of yesterday08:47

ahasenackgood morning12:10
ahasenackcpaelzer_: rbasak: fwiw, mps are indeed switching automatically from approved to merged after an upload migrates. I remember we were wondering about that a while ago. Maybe it even wasn't working a while ago, but it is now12:25
cpaelzer_hi ahasenack12:26
ahasenackhi ahasenack12:27
ahasenacker12:27
cpaelzer_hehe12:27
cpaelzer_thanks for the info that they auto-merge12:27
cpaelzer_that is nice12:27
=== cpaelzer_ is now known as cpaelzer
rbasakahasenack: I think the reason it didn't work before was because the importer had stopped12:39
ahasenackcould be12:40
ahasenackrbasak: is https://code.launchpad.net/~paelzer/ubuntu/+source/virt-manager/+git/virt-manager/+merge/356334 on your radar again, given cpaelzer's comment and latest change?12:46
rbasakahasenack: I missed it. I'll look at it now.12:49
UssatOK, not enough coffee this am, getting the ubuntu 18.04 live server amd is the correct one right to install server ?12:52
* cpaelzer realized he need to ask ahasenack to ping rbasak more efficiently as direct pings are ignored :-P12:53
sdezielICMP over IRC is notoriously unreliable ;)12:53
rbasakOh, sorry.12:53
rbasakI had only scrolled back to the most recent ping. Didn't realise the highlight in the window was for more pings :)12:53
rbasakping overflow!12:53
cpaelzercan be abbreviated as Powerflow which makes it sound much nicer12:54
rbasakcpaelzer: virt-manager +113:09
cpaelzerthanks rbasak13:09
cpaelzerrbasak: ahasenack: trying to split the external dependency lane I realized this isn't an issue for any of you13:20
cpaelzerwhich makes me reconsider the split being useless for the team13:21
cpaelzerif it is just me I can handle it with a few labels and be good for now13:21
cpaelzerthereby aborted the split of that lane13:21
cpaelzeralthough I cleaned up a few cards that I found hanging around13:21
cpaelzerahasenack: I can confirm that merged is auto-set after leaving it on approved this time13:50
ahasenacknice13:50
cpaelzerahasenack: and I see a time-matching mail of the "Ubuntu Git importer"13:51
ahasenackthings are working! :)13:51
cpaelzerahasenack: so maybe when we wondered in the past that things didn't get merged, the importer was down for a bit13:51
cpaelzermaking it a more reliable service will help on that end as well13:51
ahasenacklet's take that as a hint that the importer could be down13:51

ahasenackone of our canaries :)13:52
cpaelzersprint on canary islands?13:52
ahasenacknot quite :)13:52
cpaelzerthat would have a reasonable distance for you I'd think13:52
ahasenackthere are very nice beaches here within a 400km radius13:53

cpaelzerahasenack: ticket 3465 was still egenrting diff the last time I checked14:22
cpaelzerI set the signoff14:22
cpaelzerbut IIRC there are no good tests we can rely on14:22
kierankHi, we've had our ubuntu 14.04 server x64 preseed break recently with linux-signed-generic-lts-xenial unmet dependencies. Has anyone seen this problem?16:36
rbasakkierank: is it reproducible?16:39
kierankrbasak: yes16:40
rbasakkierank: a possible failure mode is to do with a race condition. Which in theory shouldn't hit the updates pocket, but that's what I want to rule out.16:40
rbasakkierank: hours apart?16:40
rbasakkierank: can you confirm you don't have proposed pockets enabled?16:40
kierankrbasak: no proposed pockets16:41
kierankI don't have a date when it started failing but ~1-2 months ago we did our last preseed16:41
rbasakDo you have the error log?16:42
kierankrbasak: yes, just need to find a way of getting it off system16:42
kierankcan provide the preseed file as well16:43
* kierank sets up ftp server16:43
sarnoldthe pastebinit package and tool may be more convenient16:44
sarnoldthere's also http://termbin.com/16:44
kierankcan't install anything16:45
sarnoldthat's the nice thing about termbin, it can use nc or telnet or whatever you're already likely to have16:45
kierankdidn't know that16:45
kierankvery useful16:46
kierankhttp://termbin.com/5wbv16:46
kierankrbasak: ^16:46
rbasakThanks16:46
rbasakkierank: do you have a shell there available?16:46
kierankhttps://pastebin.com/fcp4XSxb16:46
kierankthat's the preseed16:46
kierankrbasak: only the shell once it fails16:46
rbasakThat's fine.16:47
rbasakWhere it says "but it is not going to be installed", you can request it directly with apt16:47
kierankapt or apt-get doesn't seem to be installed16:47
rbasakIt will be in the chroot I expect.16:47
rbasakIs it /target I think?16:48
rbasakI can't remember if in-target is a binary available to you16:48
rbasakI think it is16:48
rbasaktry "in-target apt-get install linux-signed-generic-lts-xenial"16:48
rbasakHopefully that will give you the same error?16:48
kierankjust exists silently16:49
kierankimmediately16:49
kierankexits*16:49
kierankah errors in the shell16:49
kierankyes same error16:49
rbasaktry "in-target apt-get install linux-signed-generic-lts-xenial linux-signed-image-generic-lts-xenial=4.4.0.31.21 linux-headers-generic-lts-xenial=4.4.0.31.21"16:50
rbasakHopefully you'll see what I'm doing there.16:50
rbasakapt-get will give you more information as to why not.16:50
rbasakAnd you can follow down the tree by continuing to be more specific on the command line16:50
kierankthanks, we are trying this now16:51
rbasakEventually you should get something more helpful, like something specific not being available.16:51
rbasakThen we can look into why that is.16:51
rbasakThere is also "E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-signed-generic-lts-xenial" in your pastebin, which seems odd.16:53
rbasakI don't see that package either.16:54
rbasakThat doesn't exist - it doesn't make sense to sign the headers package like that - and I don't see where a dependency on that might be coming from.16:55
Januarywhat should the `ls -1` of `ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-lts-xenial/` look like?16:55
kierank(January is working with me on this)16:56
sarnoldhere's what my home mirror looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PQxfH7RNkt/16:57
rbasakI don't know. Take a look at archive.ubuntu.com?16:57
Januarywe run `rename 's/~.*$/~14.04.1_amd64.udeb/' *` on `ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-lts-xenial` since the ISO seems to be always broken16:57
rbasakThat sounds very wrong.16:58
rbasak"ISO seems to be always broken" -> if it's a bug, then we can look into that, but you can't hack around like that and expect things not to break eventually.16:59
JanuaryWell unsure under which conditions filenames are broken but it was definitely an issue, after switching to 14.04.5 instead of 14.04.4 and removing the hack seems to work now17:12
Januaryrbasak: thanks anyway17:15
sarnoldall sorted?17:15
kierankseems to be sorted, though the server wants to pxe boot first17:16
kierankfixed that and it's good17:16
sarnoldwoot17:17
sarnolddid the failed kickstart https validation cause any trouble?17:17
tewardanyone ever fiddled with a kubernetes cluster on LXD?17:49
tewardand *not* get it to detect the local LXD storage pool even though it's there?17:49
tewardoops solved it, LXD version conflictions17:57
tewardsarnold: did you ever get a response on the ngx_brotli issues you opened?18:38
sarnoldteward: no18:40
tewardthought not :p18:47
tewardbut meh they're probably "not caring"18:47
teward:P18:47
sarnoldyeah. "not my code bug google" or similar18:48
DenBeiren_what package would you advise for transmission?19:55
plmanyone see TJ- today? =D20:20
sarnoldno, he dropped off around the time of the huge netsplits..20:47
malgorathNot sure if I ask this here, but its a start, I have 18.04 installed and trying to get lxc to work and I'm having issues getting it up and running. i keep getting failed to start as the message. I am running this as non-root user as unprivileged21:38
sarnoldanything in dmesg? how about the logs? lxc or lxd?21:39
malgorathI'm using the lxc-start command if that helps21:40
malgorathReally new to lxc, used docker a bit and usually I'm using something like virtual box21:40
sarnolddid you pick lxc for a specific reason? lxd is a lot neater imho :)21:40
malgorathI was told LFCE has a section on the Linux Containers, not sure if its lxc or lxd21:41
rbasakmalgorath: what's the exact command you're typing that fails?21:42
rbasakmalgorath: separately there's #lxcontainers that has the experts. We're a little more generalist here.21:42
malgorathlxc-create -t download -n 100 works fine, then I run lxc-start -n 100 -F21:43
malgorathError I get is: The container failed to start.21:43
rbasakIf you're starting new, I suggest you use the lxc command, rather than the older lxc-* interface21:44
rbasakStart with https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/getting-started-cli/21:45
malgorathah maybe the tut I was using was old21:45
malgorathhttps://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/getting-started/21:45
malgorathah I was close21:45
rbasakIMHO that should be less prominent.21:45
rbasakstgraber: ^21:45
malgorathI missed something or was that to someone else?21:47
malgorathrbasak, thanks for that link, already a big help21:50
rbasakThat was to a colleague to whom I'm giving feedback about the docs having misled you (IMHO) :)21:50
malgorathThanks again ^.^21:53
rbasakYou're welcome :)21:53
treehug88I'm seeing weird errors building gnupg on ubuntu-rolling. Anyone know anything about that?23:47
sarnoldthere's some warnings in the most recent build logs .. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnupg2/2.2.8-3ubuntu1/+build/1532845223:50
sarnoldbut it hasn't been rebuilt for over a month, maybe there's something newly busted?23:50
treehug88seems like it, might be transitory. Just started seeing issues today . Here's an example: https://travis-ci.org/sobolevn/git-secret/jobs/43980725223:52
sarnoldthats a lot of red23:54
