[03:34] <Delvien> So I want zfs on root, but in I dont see the option in ubuntu-server installer on 19.10, any easy way to do this?
[03:51] <mybalzitch> I think you need the alternative installer
[04:08] <Delvien> alternative installer is just missing "live" in the name, right?
[04:17] <Delvien> hmm, no zfs option even in alternative, i think its only an option in desktop. Which kinda sucks :(
[07:28] <lordievader> Good morning
[13:55] <mason> Delvien: It's not hard to use the desktop live environment to do a minimal/debootstrap-based install that you can flesh out. Just because you're using the desktop media, you're not in any way stuck with having a "desktop" install. Packages are packages.
[15:58] <bracham> Hey just looking into setting up Livepatch on my home server. I have Ubuntu Server 18.04.3 LTS. Is it just plain not available for personal use on Server?
[16:01] <lordcirth> bracham, seems like 3 personal machines is free: https://ubuntu.com/advantage
[16:24] <bracham> I get the error "invalid or missing Livepatch token". So I'm guessing that server tokens aren't available for personal use.
[16:28] <lordcirth> bracham, did you get a token from the website?
[16:34] <Odd_Bloke> bracham: It is available on Ubuntu Server for personal use. :)
[16:37] <bracham> The token is the long code that the website gives you too attach a machine, correct?
[16:37] <bracham> "Sudo ua attach <token>"
[16:37] <lordcirth> bracham, yes
[16:40] <bracham> The way it's set up I'm assuming it's the one code per account, for three machines. Is this correct?
[16:40] <Odd_Bloke> bracham: Yep, you use the same token across all machines.
[16:41] <Odd_Bloke> bracham: What version of Ubuntu are you running, and where did you find the instructions to use `ua attach`?
[16:42] <bracham> There is a chance I've already registered three times i guess, although those aren't active anymore. Is there a way to deactivate registrations from the Livepatch account?
[16:43] <Odd_Bloke> bracham: If you aren't being told it's because you're oversubscribed then you probably aren't.
[16:45] <bracham> And I'm running Server 18.04.3 LTS. I found that instruction when i signed in at Ubuntu.com/advantage. I did figure out the correct command structure, but that's when it said invalid token.
[16:49] <tomreyn> oh, it says "Initially, this free subscription is available for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS only."
[16:50] <tomreyn> Odd_Bloke: can you confirm this?
[16:57] <powersj> Odd_Bloke, correct, the new UA experience is only available on 14.04 TLS. The livepatch site should have redirected you to get your livepatch token no a UA token
[16:57] <powersj> err tomreyn ^
[17:01] <tomreyn> powersj: thanks. so i guess the link on the "Get Livepatch" button at https://ubuntu.com/livepatch should maybe just point to a different location, such as https://auth.livepatch.canonical.com/ ?
[17:01] <powersj> tomreyn, exactly
[17:09] <tomreyn> bracham: see above
[17:11] <bracham> Tomreyn: was just going through everything and now i run into a new error.
[17:11] <bracham> 019/11/18 17:07:27 error executing enable: cannot enable machine: bad server status 403 (URL: https://livepatch.canonical.com/api/machine-tokens): {"error": "Unknown Auth-Token"}
[17:12] <tomreyn> bracham: did you get a livepatch token befoirehand, though, which, as i understand it, is different to an UA token?
[17:18] <tomreyn> fwiw i filed this at https://github.com/canonical-web-and-design/ubuntu.com/issues/6145
[17:22] <bracham> I was already signed into the Canonical site so as soon as i went to the page you found, it gave me a key. Different from the advantage key.
[17:23] <tomreyn> so there must be a separate issue, maybe powersj can advise
[17:37] <bracham> Ok so instead of copy and pasting the whole command with token from the page you found, tomreyn, i typed the command manually and pasted just token, and it worked.
[17:39] <bracham> Thank you tomreyn!
[17:44] <bracham> And now i found why it didn't work the last time. It appears i was somehow missing the last character is the key.
[17:44] <bracham> Of* the key
[17:46] <tomreyn> hmm, i'm also getting fancy error messages while running the commands provided on https://auth.livepatch.canonical.com/?user_type=ubuntu-user : "sudo canonical-livepatch enable <MY_API_KEY>" returns "cannot locate base snap core: No such file or directory" the first time i run it, then "2019/11/18 18:44:02 error executing enable: Livepatchd error: Snappy kernel-module-control interface not connected!" the second time i do.
[17:46] <tomreyn> in your case it sounds like a copy paste error ;)
[18:44] <bracham> I had to install the Livepatch snap before it would work.
[18:47] <tomreyn> yes, so did i, it's the frist of the two line instructions
[18:47] <bracham> Yup i initially skipped it but then nothing worked lol
