[00:47] <greenbarca2001> hi guys, I have a DNS problem that I've spent hours trying to fix
[00:48] <greenbarca2001> I'm trying to make a subdomain and I created the proper DNS entries but I still cannot connect to the subdomain, it's not pinging
[00:48] <greenbarca2001> if someone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated
[03:13] <Marz> i am curious why use ubuntu server over debian?
[03:47] <sveta> Marz: ubuntu will become deprecated and replaced with debian in about a month, if I am not mistaken
[03:47] <sveta> Marz: wait no, sorry ignore it - wrong channel
[03:48] <sveta> Marz: there is a project which phases out ubuntu in favour of debian in the next tab, so it's not related to your question :-/
[03:48] <sveta> Marz: re your question, ubuntu server probably has some more drivers and some fresher packages compared with debian, so it may work better on some hardware on which debian faces problems
[04:26] <Deihmos> I thought they were pretty much the same
[04:58] <qman__> there are quite a few differences, mostly in available software selection, but also kernels, release schedule, etc
[05:08] <sveta> Deihmos: debian moves non-free drivers and software to non-free. this is not available for use during the install process. this means installation on servers with proprietary wifi or ethernet firmware becomes difficult. of course while using debian you get the benefit of knowing what is free and what isn't
[05:08] <sveta> Deihmos: debian is a bit more ancient too - it prefers to have more stability. this means less fresh packages compared with ubuntu. they even go as far as having version, say, 34 of some package, version 38 has an important security related fix, and yet thy don't add version 38 to the debian distribution, instead they patch version 34 to address the security issue
[05:41] <Deihmos> when you log into ubuntu server you get a message with how many updates are available and system load
[05:42] <Deihmos> how can i add that to another install?
[05:57] <Deihmos> got it. message of the day
[09:40] <sera_denoir> looking for some input on configuring rtpg-www on Bionic Server.  I got rtorrent install and confirmed working, used the (very dated) info from here to theoretically get the apache page set up righ https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1376455&p=8710408#post8710408 ... but I can't get a working web page (best I've gotten so far is what looks like a perl script in plain text in my browser)
[10:06] <tomreyn> sera_denoir: the info there is very dated because rtpg-www is. this doesn't mean it can't be ade to work, it most likely can be. did you also consider alternatives? 'flood' (a much newer nodejs based rtorrent web ui) is not packaged, which is a big minus, but apparently it is not too difficult to setup.
[10:08] <tomreyn> sera_denoir: this said, while you keep working on rtpg-www, have a look at the documentation and example configurations it *may* provide (like any package can) in /usr/share/doc/rtpg-www
[10:08] <sera_denoir> tomreyn: i'll look into it.  I figured I'd start with rtpg because it -was- packaged and i did find references, just very dated ones
[10:08] <tomreyn> yes, this may well make sense
[10:09] <tomreyn> i'm not terribly fond of the nodejs / npm ecosystem myself.
[10:09] <sera_denoir> do we happen to know if rtorrent from canonical is compiled with the xmlprc configuration?
[10:10] <tomreyn> rtorrent is in universe, so community maintained
[10:10] <sera_denoir> fair enough, just still not sure if it was compiled with that config
[10:13] <tomreyn> i don't know. but you can have a look at the build logs on launchpad.net, or review the patches applied to it, and review the open bug reports, too. https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/rtorrent https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rtorrent/+bugs
[10:14] <tomreyn> this package seems to be imported from debian by the way, so maybe start your inspection there.
[10:14] <sera_denoir> Thanks ... sorry, this is pretty far outside of my normal experience ... just trying to figure out if i can use what I have already or if i'll need to purge and compile from source ... my gut is telling me  that function is available, but ...
[10:16] <tomreyn> i know nothing about rtorrent or thie web ui really, so can't answer specific questions other than by pointing you to where you may find more info.
[10:17] <sera_denoir> yeah ... i have to say that untouched bug reports dating back 4 1/2 years minimum doesn't encourage me very much ... might look and see if i can find a more maintained option that isn't transmission
[10:22] <tomreyn> according to this debian build log of the same version you have in bionic, they build --with-xmlrpc-c https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=rtorrent&arch=amd64&ver=0.9.6-3%2Bb1&stamp=1526547539&raw=0
[10:24] <tomreyn> and here's the latest ubuntu build log for the bionic version https://launchpadlibrarian.net/358914523/buildlog_ubuntu-bionic-amd64.rtorrent_0.9.6-3build1_BUILDING.txt.gz
[10:24] <tomreyn> also --with-xmlrpc-c
[10:26] <tomreyn> sera_denoir: generally, if you access the packages.ubuntu.com page for a given package like this https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=rtpg-www and notice that all ubuntu version soffer the same version, that's a good indication that you should look for alternatives.
[10:27] <tomreyn> *all ubuntu versions offer the same package version
[10:29] <sera_denoir> yikes ... good to know, yeah
[10:54] <sera_denoir> tomreyn: qbittorrent-nox seems to be everything i need, and really easy ... apt-get, at it to crontab on @reboot ... it packages it's own webui
[10:55] <tomreyn> cool
[10:56] <tomreyn> glad you found a solution which works for you.
[10:56] <sera_denoir> yep, and thanks a bunch for the education!
[20:20] <azx> can i install ubuntu server on my rasberry pi model 3 and use it as a NAS?
[20:20] <azx> or would that be a bad idea and i should buy a standalone nas
[20:20] <azx> or build a new pc for a nas
[20:20] <azx> i want to use ubuntu server to set up a nas somehow but i can'
[20:20] <azx> just buy a nas and install ubuntu server on it
[20:21] <azx> they have their own proprietary nas OS like freenas etc
[20:21] <azx> uh, not freenas but you know what i mean, anything other than freenas is proprietary
[20:22] <azx> and i'm not looking for that freenas or nas os experience i want to have the versatility of ubuntu server
[20:22] <azx> less user friendly and more control to do stuff
[20:23] <azx> i was thinking about buying a intel nuc for my nas but it doesn't have drive bays and im not sure how to set that up since i can't install a raid card on it
[20:27] <tomreyn> azx: generally, you can install ubuntu on many devices. which one you should buy to make a NAS out of it is not the topic of this channel, but we can discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic if you'll join
[20:28] <azx> ok, thank you!
