[06:38] <cpaelzer> jamespage: 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] <cpaelzer> jamespage: I need to check if that is a build/link/... issue or if the new combo (again) needs to configure the devices slightly different
[07:36] <lordievader> Good morning
[07:36] <cpaelzer> hiho lordievader
[07:37] <lordievader> Hey cpaelzer
[07:37] <lordievader> How are you doing?
[07:37] <cpaelzer> fighting the cold, but good :-)
[07:37] <cpaelzer> and you lordievader?
[07:37] <lordievader> Doing good, bit tired.
[07:56] <cpaelzer> jamespage: I found the issue, too-many-libraries :-)
[07:56] <cpaelzer> jamespage: I will need a fix in DPDK packaging to drag in at least one mempool implmentation
[07:56] <cpaelzer> until then in case you are testing as well, you need to install librte-mempool-ring18.11
[07:57] <cpaelzer> the library becoms so flexible with alternate implementations that a linked app only binds the interfaces but none of the drivers
[07:57] <cpaelzer> we knew that for PMDs but that creeped into mempool as well now
[08:15] <cpaelzer> jamespage: 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] <cpaelzer> jamespage: 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 result
[08:19] <cpaelzer> jamespage: FYI I see traffic runnign through OVS 2.11 + DPDK 18.11 now which is encouraging
[08:52] <cpaelzer> jamespage: also the OVS fix to the config will be updated
[08:52] <cpaelzer> I'm test building in my PPA if it works I'll submit a v2 upstream
[08:52] <cpaelzer> and then also push to the packaging branch of OVS
[09:34] <nekowaiidesu> Hi 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?
[09:50] <jamespage> cpaelzer: ack
[09:50] <jamespage> coreycb: starting a run on oslo.*
[11:03] <zamba> i'm having problems installing ubuntu server on esxi hypervisor
[11:03] <zamba> when trying to boot the regular iso, i'm just presented a grey-purple screen.. it seems like some kind of graphics error
[11:03] <zamba> because i can make out something in the background that was supposed to be there
[11:03] <zamba> the live installation iso accepts no input when i'm supposed to select my language
[11:18] <ahasenack> good morning
[12:22] <raddy> Hello Everybody
[12:24] <raddy> I have done file system cleanups yesterday on my Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
[12:24] <raddy> And have reclaimed about 45GB of space
[12:25] <blackflow> congrats!
[12:25] <raddy> But tomcat is showing that it cannot touch catalna.out file because of lack of free space
[12:26] <Ussat> when you say you did cleanup, what do you mean ?
[12:26] <raddy> I checked with lsof -nP | grep '(deleted)' | less and could not see the files I have deleted in it
[12:26] <raddy> I deleted lot of files
[12:26] <blackflow> raddy: to which filesystem does it output? a tmpfs perhaps?
[12:27] <raddy> No.
[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 well
[12:29] <raddy> TJ-: You were so true, inodes have become full
[12:29] <raddy> What can I do know ?
[12:29] <TJ-> raddy: too many small files then
[12:30] <TJ-> raddy: you've probably got something creating lots of small (possibly temporary?) files
[12:30] <raddy> Yes
[12:31] <raddy> There is no option other than deleting files ?
[12:31] <raddy> I have actually cleared as much as I could
[12:32] <blackflow> backup data, reformat fs for larger number of inodes, restore from backup
[12:32] <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 created
[12:34] <raddy> TJ: Could there be any possibility for the inodes to be held even if not shown in lsof ?
[12:34] <raddy> Shall I try rebooting ?
[12:35] <blackflow> lsof 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 deleted
[12:37] <raddy> Can we find unlinked but not yet deleted inodes ?
[12:40] <TJ-> raddy: only the regular way, "sudo ls -l /proc/[1-9]*/fd/ | grep deleted"
[13:04] <cpaelzer> jamespage: OVS tests are complete
[13:04] <cpaelzer> all that can work worked fine
[13:04] <cpaelzer> some old use cases were deprecated and now removed, those won't work for obvious reasons
[13:04] <cpaelzer> jamespage: there will be a DPDK 18.11-5 which fixes the two issues I found (both being dependencies)
[13:06] <cpaelzer> jamespage: do you want to wait until 18.11-5 is trying to sync (so we can remove the libipsec build-dependency)
[13:06] <cpaelzer> OTOH the extra build-dep isn't too bad, we could as well upload OVS as-is
[13:06] <ahasenack> rbasak: 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] <cpaelzer> jamespage: what would you prefer?
[13:06] <ahasenack> I *think* not
[13:06] <ahasenack> as long as I explain it in the sru template
[13:06] <cpaelzer> ahasenack: no you don't
[13:06] <ahasenack> ok
[13:06] <ahasenack> thx
[13:07] <cpaelzer> IMHO: that is what the "other comment" section in the SRU template is for
[13:07] <rbasak> ahasenack: no
[13:07] <rbasak> The only thing I ask for is something to make it clear it's deliberate.
[13:07] <ahasenack> good
[13:12] <raddy> Hello Everybody
[13:13] <raddy> If 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 ?
[13:16] <raddy> Please do someone reply
[13:16] <lotuspsychje> !patience | raddy
[13:20] <cpaelzer> jamespage: 18.11-5 is prepared as of now
[13:21] <cpaelzer> jamespage: ping me to discuss when and in which form we upload OVS 2.11 then
[13:36] <coreycb> jamespage: i'll work through the latest openstack clients shortly
[13:53] <cpaelzer> jamespage: as promised DPDK 18.11-5 just hit Debian builders
[14:34] <jamespage> cpaelzer: excellent - I'm all up for a snapshot upload of ovs as soon as that hits disco
[14:34] <jamespage> coreycb: ok - oslo's all done
[14:37] <coreycb> jamespage: alright! i'm going to start on the clients now
[14:39] <cpaelzer> jamespage: 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 fixups
[14:41] <cpaelzer> jamespage: openvswitch packaging git updated
[14:41] <cpaelzer> jamespage: I'll ping you once I see DPDK 18.11-5 fulyl built in disco-proposed
[14:44] <jamespage> coreycb: ok starting at 'a' and working down the list of core projects
[14:44] <coreycb> jamespage: ok
[16:02] <jamespage> coreycb: progress so far - https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/3517/+packages
[16:03] <coreycb> jamespage: nice!
[16:37] <coreycb> jamespage: i almost have all the clients built. working through a neutronclient test error: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/3584/+packages
[16:37] <coreycb> jamespage: i'll check your ppa this afternoon and pick up where you left off on core packages
[16:58] <jamespage> coreycb: doing keystone now - might fit one more in before I have to eod
[17:34] <muhaha> how to disable powersaving ? I have attached monitor with hdmi, but after a while -> monitor is disconnected. Thanks
[17:36] <beowuff> I'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. :/
[17:45] <Draggor> Hey 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?
[17:46] <jamespage> coreycb: ok I got to mistral but I skipped *-dashboard
[17:46] <jamespage> everything uploaded to disco
[17:46] <coreycb> jamespage: ok sounds good, thanks!
[17:46] <jamespage> coreycb: I'll pickup any leftovers in my am tomorrow
[17:46] <coreycb> jamespage: ok. i'll keep you posted.
[17:47] <jamespage> ta
[17:53] <Draggor> And, is it possible to use something like FiraCodeMono on just a raw terminal?
[18:26] <sdeziel> muhaha: not sure that will do it but I'd try adding "consoleblank=0" to the kernel boot args
[18:27] <muhaha> sdeziel 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 enough
[18:29] <sdeziel> muhaha: 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 details
[18:30] <Deihmos> is there an app that will give me the system resources used over a specific time
[18:30] <sarnold> Deihmos: performance copilot is in the archives
[18:31] <sarnold> Deihmos: I've heard good things about https://github.com/Netflix/vector but never tried it myself
[18:33] <sdeziel> Deihmos: there is also netdata when you can configure the retention period (default is 1h IIRC)
[18:33] <sdeziel> s/when/where/
[18:39] <stoiss> do anyone know how to make a headless computer have a higher resolution for a dummy monitor ?
[18:39] <sarnold> how did you make the dummy monitor?
[18:40] <stoiss> installed xorg dummy driver
[18:41] <stoiss> i just cant get it above 1360x768 which is really not optimal
[18:42] <stoiss> especially 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 screen
[18:56] <muhaha> sdeziel xset s off -dpms did the trick seems...
[18:56] <sdeziel> muhaha: cool
[18:57] <muhaha> but xset q still shows dpms and screensaving on.. .weird...
[18:57] <sdeziel> muhaha: for some reason, I didn't want x11 related packages on my server back then so I took the kernel boot args route
[19:21] <Deihmos> Why would Ubuntu server with no ui consume more energy than windows 10 ?
[19:53] <rbasak> Deihmos: would it? Depends heavily on hardware, conditions, e tc.
[19:54] <Deihmos> Same software installed. I think it is that samba process constantly using the CPI even with no files being accessed.
[19:54] <Deihmos> I have to look into it
[19:54] <lordcirth__> Deihmos, are you using powertop and/or tlp?
[19:54] <Deihmos> No
[19:55] <rbasak> Is this on a laptop?
[19:55] <Deihmos> Nope desktop
[19:55] <rbasak> In any case, with no GPU driver active it won't be put into any kind of low power mode, etc.
[19:56] <rbasak> You might be better off trying Ubuntu Desktop and then allowing the desktop to shut off your monitor.
[19:57] <Deihmos> Connected to a tv. It goes to sleep with no activity
[19:57] <sarnold> I 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 longer
[19:57] <Deihmos> It isn’t that though. Definitely samba.
[19:57] <rbasak> If you definitely know the answer, then I'm not sure why you're asking the question!
[19:58] <Deihmos> Didn’t know at the time.
[19:58] <rbasak> Ah :)
[19:58] <Deihmos> Samba keeps kicking in the processor for no reason
[20:17] <compdoc> Deihmos, some windows protocols used to be pretty chatty, advertising themselves and all. And samba loves to declare itself browse master
[20:18] <Deihmos> The logging is very minimal. There isn’t a log of anything. In samba.conf logging is set to 0.
[20:18] <compdoc> windows defaults to spinning down drives. not sure ubuntu does unless you install something
[20:18] <compdoc> how do you measure power use?
[20:21] <ironhalik> Hi - 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 interface
[20:24] <sarnold> powertop is a pretty good first shot
[20:25] <Draggor> ironhalik: as far as I'm aware there isn't a dhcp dns only option
[20:27] <lordcirth__> ironhalik, are you sure you need to automatically get DNS? Generally you can just set 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8
[20:28] <ironhalik> yeah, but this is an internal network - with internal DNS caches and resolvers
[20:29] <lordcirth__> ironhalik, what about just using DHCP?
[20:30] <ironhalik> I'll get a random ipv4 address :)
[20:30] <ironhalik> IIRC in etc network interfaces it was possible
[20:30] <sarnold> sometimes your can configure dhcp servers to hand out specific ips for specific MACs
[20:31] <ironhalik> yeah, this would be an option
[20:31] <ironhalik> and would certainly please the network guys :)
[20:32] <ironhalik> I guess I'll use a fully static config - the DNS addresses should change tbh
[21:11] <JanC> or based on "hostname"
[21:40] <coreycb> jamespage: 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.
[21:41] <coreycb> jamespage: and this is where i'm going to leave off for core pkgs: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/3583/+packages
[21:51] <cpaelzer> jamespage: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpdk/18.11-5 is built and in proposed
[21:51] <cpaelzer> jamespage: you could upload the OVS we have prepared along it
