[01:07] <johnfg> hi guys
[01:08] <johnfg> is there a way to get my xfce4-terminal to open in the same place on the desktop?
[01:08] <johnfg> I looked at preferences, but didn't see that choice (maybe i missed it?).
[01:11] <sarnold> many X applications let you give them parameters like -geometry 800x800+0+0 to stuff it at specific size and place

[09:34] <friendlyguy> morning
[09:35] <friendlyguy> still fighting with that vm...: ran out of space on /boot, cleaned old kernels manually from /boot, did a apt --fix-broken which went through nicely. after that i ran an upgrade and watched it fill up boot with very old kernels again
[09:36] <friendlyguy> its 18.04.4 lts... but has been dist upgraded several times
[09:37] <friendlyguy> i saw it try to download even a 3.13 kernel
[09:38] <friendlyguy> lordievader: are you around by any luck? :) you did help me a lot yesterday
[10:17] <tomreyn> 3.13 is not available on ubuntu 18.04 LTS for sure. unless you installed it from elsewhere or an ubuntu release upgrade faield in the middle, or you're working on a container and don't actually manage your kernel.
[10:17] <tomreyn> friendlyguy: ^
[10:18] <friendlyguy> hi there! well, its not a container. its a vm
[10:18] <tomreyn> this gathers some basic info on apt:  sudo /bin/true && cat &>/tmp/aptlog < <(sudo apt-get -y update 2>&1; apt-cache policy 2>&1; sudo apt-get -syV full-upgrade 2>&1;); nc termbin.com 9999 </tmp/aptlog && rm /tmp/aptlog
[10:18] <tomreyn> add this for basic OS info: nc termbin.com 9999 < <(lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version,cmdline};echo "Session: $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ($XDG_SESSION_TYPE)";echo Shell: $SHELL)
[10:19] <friendlyguy> thats what happend during upgrade: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6QwFrZyDnD/
[10:20] <tomreyn> dpkg --purge     this 3.13 kernel
[10:21] <tomreyn> to see what's installed:   dpkg -l | grep ' linux' | nc termbin.com 9999
[10:23] <friendlyguy> https://termbin.com/8z27
[10:25] <friendlyguy> aaand the os info https://termbin.com/zqrj
[10:25] <tomreyn> you have php installed from a PPA. i don't know whether this is a supported upgrade path for this PPA
[10:26] <friendlyguy> installed is: https://termbin.com/lag5
[10:27] <tomreyn> 4.15.0-76 is running, purge all but 4.15.0-76 and 4.15.0-64
[10:28] <tomreyn> then ensure sufficient disk space is available on all relevant mounted file systems, then    sudo apt -f install && sudo apt -V upgrade && sudo apt -V full-upgrade
[10:29] <tomreyn> also purge linux-cloud-tools-virtual-lts-xenial
[10:29] <tomreyn> and linux-tools-virtual-lts-xenial
[10:37] <dsofeir> Hello, I am trying to get the ubuntu 18.04 cloud image to run on KVM on CentOS 7 and having no luck. I can resize the image, setup the cloud-init iso and start the VM however the console does not work and the machine does not get an IP address via DHCP.
[11:00] <friendlyguy> tomreyn: currently trying that
[11:01] <friendlyguy> i removed all non 76 kernels and files from boot (deleted from filesystem), but once i run a purge it fills them up right away again
[11:03] <tomreyn> friendlyguy: i don't think dpkg -P would fill up /boot if that's what you're saying
[11:05] <dsofeir> Could anyone help me? I am trying to get the ubuntu 18.04 cloud image to run on KVM on CentOS 7 and having no luck. I can resize the image, setup the cloud-init iso and start the VM however the console does not work and the machine does not get an IP address via DHCP.
[11:07] <friendlyguy> i did a apt purge for the linux-cloud-tools
[11:07] <friendlyguy> (the xenial ones)
[11:08] <friendlyguy> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bkKTvGFGDx/
[11:13] <tomreyn> dsofeir: does DHCP work with other VMs? by "console", do you mean VGA console or serial console?
[11:14] <tomreyn> friendlyguy: right, apt purge ia not dpkg --purge
[11:14] <dsofeir> tomreyn: Yes, DHCP works when I use a CentOS cloud image in the same Ansible playbook. I mean serial console
[11:16] <tomreyn> dsofeir: i don't really know about how the cloud images are configured or setup but unless it's said anywhere that a serial console will work out of the box i wouldn't expect that to be the case
[11:19] <dsofeir> tomreyn: fair enough. Although the machine not getting any address via DHCP makes no sense. Do the cloud images still use cloud-init
[11:22] <tomreyn> dsofeir: i don't really know, have never used those.
[11:22] <tomreyn> my guess is "yes"
