cpaelzerjamespage: the new combo of dpdk 18.11 + ovs 2.11 has issues using the dpdk data path - error: "could not add network device dpdk0 to ofproto (No such device)"06:38
cpaelzerjamespage: I need to check if that is a build/link/... issue or if the new combo (again) needs to configure the devices slightly different06:38
lordievaderGood morning07:36
cpaelzerhiho lordievader07:36
lordievaderHey cpaelzer07:37
lordievaderHow are you doing?07:37
cpaelzerfighting the cold, but good :-)07:37
cpaelzerand you lordievader?07:37
lordievaderDoing good, bit tired.07:37
cpaelzerjamespage: I found the issue, too-many-libraries :-)07:56
cpaelzerjamespage: I will need a fix in DPDK packaging to drag in at least one mempool implmentation07:56
cpaelzeruntil then in case you are testing as well, you need to install librte-mempool-ring18.1107:56
cpaelzerthe library becoms so flexible with alternate implementations that a linked app only binds the interfaces but none of the drivers07:57
cpaelzerwe knew that for PMDs but that creeped into mempool as well now07:57
cpaelzerjamespage: I have a PR up for the DPDK packaging and a temporary fix in my testing (installing the lib as needed for 18.11-4)08:15
cpaelzerjamespage: let me know if you need anything more on this - I'll restart the testing cycle and let you know once I have a complete result08:15
cpaelzerjamespage: FYI I see traffic runnign through OVS 2.11 + DPDK 18.11 now which is encouraging08:19
cpaelzerjamespage: also the OVS fix to the config will be updated08:52
cpaelzerI'm test building in my PPA if it works I'll submit a v2 upstream08:52
cpaelzerand then also push to the packaging branch of OVS08:52
nekowaiidesuHi all, I'm wanting to clone a lot of laptops over network with a windows image. they're all the same model laptop. Is there any easy way to do it with Ubuntu as a 'server' machine?09:34

raddyHello Everybody12:22
raddyI have done file system cleanups yesterday on my Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS12:24
raddyAnd have reclaimed about 45GB of space12:24
blackflowcongrats!12:25
raddyBut tomcat is showing that it cannot touch catalna.out file because of lack of free space12:25
Ussatwhen you say you did cleanup, what do you mean ?12:26
raddyI checked with lsof -nP | grep '(deleted)' | less and could not see the files I have deleted in it12:26
raddyI deleted lot of files12:26
blackflowraddy: to which filesystem does it output? a tmpfs perhaps?12:26
raddyNo.12:27
raddy"/opt"12:27
TJ-raddy: is the problem lack of free space, or lack of free inodes?12:27
TJ-raddy: try "df -i "12:27
raddy"/opt" only I have did cleanup as well12:27
raddyTJ-: You were so true, inodes have become full12:29
raddyWhat can I do know ?12:29
TJ-raddy: too many small files then12:29
TJ-raddy: you've probably got something creating lots of small (possibly temporary?) files12:30
raddyYes12:30
=== philroche_ is now known as philroche
raddyThere is no option other than deleting files ?12:31
raddyI have actually cleared as much as I could12:31
blackflowbackup data, reformat fs for larger number of inodes, restore from backup12:32
TJ-raddy: its not possible to add inodes after file-system creation, but you might be able to mount another file-system where the small files are being created12:32
raddyTJ: Could there be any possibility for the inodes to be held even if not shown in lsof ?12:34
raddyShall I try rebooting ?12:34
blackflowlsof is just for open files. inodes are taken by all the files on the fs.12:35
TJ-raddy: I doubt it, 'df' reports the inodes in-use. Unless there are a LOT of small files unlinked but not yet deleted12:35
raddyCan we find unlinked but not yet deleted inodes ?12:37
TJ-raddy: only the regular way, "sudo ls -l /proc/[1-9]*/fd/ | grep deleted"12:40
cpaelzerjamespage: OVS tests are complete13:04
cpaelzerall that can work worked fine13:04
cpaelzersome old use cases were deprecated and now removed, those won't work for obvious reasons13:04
cpaelzerjamespage: there will be a DPDK 18.11-5 which fixes the two issues I found (both being dependencies)13:04
cpaelzerjamespage: do you want to wait until 18.11-5 is trying to sync (so we can remove the libipsec build-dependency)13:06
cpaelzerOTOH the extra build-dep isn't too bad, we could as well upload OVS as-is13:06
ahasenackrbasak: I forget, do I need a separate bug for adding dep8 tests to a package that is being SRUed because of another bug (which is properly mentioned in d/changelog)?13:06
cpaelzerjamespage: what would you prefer?13:06
ahasenackI *think* not13:06
ahasenackas long as I explain it in the sru template13:06
cpaelzerahasenack: no you don't13:06
ahasenackok13:06
ahasenackthx13:06
cpaelzerIMHO: that is what the "other comment" section in the SRU template is for13:07
rbasakahasenack: no13:07
rbasakThe only thing I ask for is something to make it clear it's deliberate.13:07
ahasenackgood13:07
raddyHello Everybody13:12
raddyIf I tar a folder with so many folders and files in it, and delete the folder, all the inodes used by it would be freed ?13:13
raddyPlease do someone reply13:16
lotuspsychje!patience | raddy13:16
ubotturaddy: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/13:16
cpaelzerjamespage: 18.11-5 is prepared as of now13:20
cpaelzerjamespage: ping me to discuss when and in which form we upload OVS 2.11 then13:21
coreycbjamespage: i'll work through the latest openstack clients shortly13:36
cpaelzerjamespage: as promised DPDK 18.11-5 just hit Debian builders13:53
=== jdstrand_ is now known as jdstrand
jamespagecpaelzer: excellent - I'm all up for a snapshot upload of ovs as soon as that hits disco14:34
jamespagecoreycb: ok - oslo's all done14:34
coreycbjamespage: alright! i'm going to start on the clients now14:37
cpaelzerjamespage: ok so since you want to upload "after" 18.11-5 hits disco I'll push a removal of the then no more needed libipsec-dev dependency to the packaging archive together with the other fixups14:39
cpaelzerjamespage: openvswitch packaging git updated14:41
cpaelzerjamespage: I'll ping you once I see DPDK 18.11-5 fulyl built in disco-proposed14:41
jamespagecoreycb: ok starting at 'a' and working down the list of core projects14:44
coreycbjamespage: ok14:44
=== Rotnevlat is now known as Tornevall
jamespagecoreycb: progress so far - https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/3517/+packages16:02
coreycbjamespage: nice!16:03
coreycbjamespage: i almost have all the clients built. working through a neutronclient test error: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/3584/+packages16:37
coreycbjamespage: i'll check your ppa this afternoon and pick up where you left off on core packages16:37
jamespagecoreycb: doing keystone now - might fit one more in before I have to eod16:58
muhahahow to disable powersaving ? I have attached monitor with hdmi, but after a while -> monitor is disconnected. Thanks17:34
beowuffI'm trying to get quassel-core to run in an LXD container and having no luck... Does anyone have this working? Running it manually gives me a  segmentation fault. :/17:36

DraggorHey there!  Where would I find the settings values for the terminal that loads up?  Font, font size, and also the color scheme it seems to use?17:45
jamespagecoreycb: ok I got to mistral but I skipped *-dashboard17:46
jamespageeverything uploaded to disco17:46
coreycbjamespage: ok sounds good, thanks!17:46
jamespagecoreycb: I'll pickup any leftovers in my am tomorrow17:46
coreycbjamespage: ok. i'll keep you posted.17:46
jamespageta17:47
DraggorAnd, is it possible to use something like FiraCodeMono on just a raw terminal?17:53
sdezielmuhaha: not sure that will do it but I'd try adding "consoleblank=0" to the kernel boot args18:26
muhahasdeziel is it something different than dpms ? I just setup crontab: @reboot root sh -c 'xset s off -dpms' > /dev/null 2>&1, but I am not sure if its enough18:27
sdezielmuhaha: it's not an area I know well, sorry. I just remember that I used that arg to avoid a similar issue. See https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.14/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html for details18:29
Deihmosis there an app that will give me the system resources used over a specific time18:30
sarnoldDeihmos: performance copilot is in the archives18:30
sarnoldDeihmos: I've heard good things about https://github.com/Netflix/vector but never tried it myself18:31
sdezielDeihmos: there is also netdata when you can configure the retention period (default is 1h IIRC)18:33
sdeziels/when/where/18:33
stoissdo anyone know how to make a headless computer have a higher resolution for a dummy monitor ?18:39
sarnoldhow did you make the dummy monitor?18:39
stoissinstalled xorg dummy driver18:40
stoissi just cant get it above 1360x768 which is really not optimal18:41
stoissespecially since im also running a teamviewer to a ubuntu server ( well a KDE on regular ubuntu ) which in turn runs vmware so i end up with a postage stamp for screen18:42
muhahasdeziel xset s off -dpms did the trick seems...18:56
sdezielmuhaha: cool18:56
muhahabut xset q still shows dpms and screensaving on.. .weird...18:57
sdezielmuhaha: for some reason, I didn't want x11 related packages on my server back then so I took the kernel boot args route18:57
DeihmosWhy would Ubuntu server with no ui consume more energy than windows 10 ?19:21
rbasakDeihmos: would it? Depends heavily on hardware, conditions, e tc.19:53
DeihmosSame software installed. I think it is that samba process constantly using the CPI even with no files being accessed.19:54
DeihmosI have to look into it19:54
lordcirth__Deihmos, are you using powertop and/or tlp?19:54
DeihmosNo19:54
rbasakIs this on a laptop?19:55
DeihmosNope desktop19:55
rbasakIn any case, with no GPU driver active it won't be put into any kind of low power mode, etc.19:55
rbasakYou might be better off trying Ubuntu Desktop and then allowing the desktop to shut off your monitor.19:56
DeihmosConnected to a tv. It goes to sleep with no activity19:57
sarnoldI could also believe that timer resolution etc is set up for low latency and if you wanted to fiddle with those knobs to make it less responsive, it might be able to stay asleep longer19:57
DeihmosIt isn’t that though. Definitely samba.19:57
rbasakIf you definitely know the answer, then I'm not sure why you're asking the question!19:57
DeihmosDidn’t know at the time.19:58
rbasakAh :)19:58
DeihmosSamba keeps kicking in the processor for no reason19:58
compdocDeihmos, some windows protocols used to be pretty chatty, advertising themselves and all. And samba loves to declare itself browse master20:17
DeihmosThe logging is very minimal. There isn’t a log of anything. In samba.conf logging is set to 0.20:18
compdocwindows defaults to spinning down drives. not sure ubuntu does unless you install something20:18
compdochow do you measure power use?20:18
ironhalikHi - quick question, is it possible in netplan, to have a static IP, but get DNS servers from DHCP? Currently with static IP configured, and dhcpv4 enabled, I get an additional DHCP address on my interface20:21
sarnoldpowertop is a pretty good first shot20:24
Draggorironhalik: as far as I'm aware there isn't a dhcp dns only option20:25
lordcirth__ironhalik, are you sure you need to automatically get DNS? Generally you can just set 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.820:27
ironhalikyeah, but this is an internal network - with internal DNS caches and resolvers20:28
lordcirth__ironhalik, what about just using DHCP?20:29
ironhalikI'll get a random ipv4 address :)20:30
ironhalikIIRC in etc network interfaces it was possible20:30
sarnoldsometimes your can configure dhcp servers to hand out specific ips for specific MACs20:30
ironhalikyeah, this would be an option20:31
ironhalikand would certainly please the network guys :)20:31
ironhalikI guess I'll use a fully static config - the DNS addresses should change tbh20:32
JanCor based on "hostname"21:11
coreycbjamespage: i have the client and some more deps in https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/3584/+packages. once dep8 tests pass i'll land those.21:40
coreycbjamespage: and this is where i'm going to leave off for core pkgs: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/3583/+packages21:41
cpaelzerjamespage: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpdk/18.11-5 is built and in proposed21:51
cpaelzerjamespage: you could upload the OVS we have prepared along it21:51
