[00:38] how do I start or run jetty from the cli? headless [00:39] 1st hit when i look for a howto [00:39] https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/how-to-install-jetty-on-ubuntu-18-04/ [00:40] you might need to forward the port in your firewall?

I am running Ubuntu 18.04 on a Lenovo Thinkpad that I put to sleep over the weekend, which is normally no problem and I can resume work on mondays with more than 50% of battery left. This weekend was different, though and the machine was off. Turning it on resulted in a black screen and a frozen keyboard (after grub etc) so I [07:10] hard-reset and started recovery mode. There I wanted to see the "system summary" which caused it to "started discard unused blocks" .. how long does that usually take, because it's been sitting there for 20 mins at least now with no sign of progress ... [07:13] ".. machine was off.." means that the battery apparently ran out of energy so the laptop was forced to turn off over the weekend [07:13] analogical: why, what's wrong with it?

It seems to load through the splash screen, but then it just goes black and does nothing.

[08:17] (there seems a difference, for example, between "jetty" as an env var versus "jetty9") [08:24] nsaunders: in that case I believe JETTY_HOME=/usr/share/jetty9 [08:27] I'm not sure why Ubuntu would offer a jetty9 package that doesn't set an env var that might be required to work, but it probably has something to do with Java being really weird [08:27] huh https://pastebin.com/PR4mWpMd there's a webapp directory there.. [08:28] I think you are supposed to use it via an init script or service [08:28] possibly the variables are all correct that route [08:29] yeah, that's what I find odd. I'd expect a script to have this configured unless I'm very much misunderstanding [08:31] this jetty thing is low on documentation [08:31] here's somebody's writeup on how they use it: https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-jetty-java-http-server-on-debian-10/ [10:03] Hi Guys. anyone alse facing issue of broken wifi after latest updates on 20.04 ?

You should check to make sure it is [14:58] leftyfb, that's great from client-side, but security on my server rejects connection after n failed attempts [14:59] i think there's a bug report for this for ubuntu dev [15:01] RoseBus: did you check to see what PasswordAuthentication is set to? [15:02] i'm using Synology NAS, by default passwordauthentication is the only method available, it is not changeable from the GUI [15:03] leftyfb, in fact, if i mv ~/.ssh ~/.ssh_bak [15:03] then i connect ssh with the same command it works [15:04] RoseBus: ok, so ssh in and add your public key?

I already have a working Davmail server, which I'm using with Thunderbird to fetch mail from my company exchange server. I really would like to migrate from Thunderbird to Geary, but I can't set up the client. For some reason the imap server configuration used for thunderbird is not working in Geary. I know that people are using geary with Davmail, but I can't f [19:40] please? [19:42] Neffscape: btw irc has line length limits, you were cut off at "but I can't f" [19:43] @sarnold […] I can't find a guide to configure it. Can you help me [19:43] 21:40:46 - Neffscape: please? [19:43] Neffscape: do you get any error messages from geary? [19:43] Neffscape: does your server log any thing relevant? oftentimes server logs are more detailed than client logs [19:45] Yes it says that "localhost" is not the correct imap server address. But it's the same address I'm using with thunderbird. The only difference is that Thunderbird lets me choose custom ports for the imap server. Geary don't. [19:45] (doesn't... sorry for my bad English) [19:47] Neffscape: does sudo ss -ntlp show your imap server on localhost as you expect?

[20:06] which ubuntu lts version is the most compatible and reliable for servers? [20:07] nesoi, 18.04 and 20.04 [20:07] see the releasenotes [20:07] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes [20:07] release notes don't tell the story of how compatible and reliable people find them in the real world [20:07] @oerheks I think it's not geary itself. I think Geary is relying on GOA for this kind of operation. And GOA doesn't allow to configure custom ports. [20:07] 18.04 LTS is steady, and reliable with HWE [20:08] for imap accounts [20:08] !hwe [20:08] The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [20:08] nesoi: if you're asking the question, then 18.04 is probably your better choice [20:08] HWE?

[20:31] sudo apt purge snapd [20:32] my concern is OS updates (or any updates) to production without testing [20:33] are snapd updates guaranteed not to break anything? [20:34] nesoi, do you want paid support? [20:34] lolz [20:35] oerheks: no, but if not then why force updates that could break things? [20:35] to create a market for paid support?!?! [20:36] nesoi: no, snap updates can break things too -- https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/lost-config-state-access-after-chromium-snap-is-refreshed/14650/3 [20:36] right, so that's my point: automatic updates to a production machine seem like a bad idea [20:37] true [20:37] always roll out on a test server. [20:37] the same server you test your backups on ;-) [20:38] and you can hold snap updates, to a conveniant time. [20:38] at least with snap you can schedule when you'd like that to be https://snapcraft.io/docs/keeping-snaps-up-to-date [20:38] so you aren't stuck with solely apt purge snapd [20:38] but if you'd rather control your entire infrastructure, snap is probably not (yet?) for you [20:39] oerheks: what backups? [20:39] softwarecenter > installed > (snapname) > permissions # often gives tons of options, mic/webcam/disk/networking [20:40] mic / webcam are not really germane to these servers :) [20:40] is ubuntu really focusing on the desktop?

[21:25] dpkg: error processing package mysql-server (--configure): [21:25] dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [21:26] gpg: keyserver send failed: Server indicated a failure [21:26] That what I'm getting when: gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys 11111 [21:27] oerheks my system memory usage is below 80% though [21:27] my swap is almost 100% though [21:28] Mibix, seen that, with a vpn service and irc bouncer [21:28] dont have vpn or a bouncer running :/ [21:29] well, cron has insufficient memory to do the job. [21:29] im confused though [21:30] if my physical memory is only at 80% what do i need to change [21:30] I can add more ram sure but I am not sure that will help [21:30] 100% swap sounds like some service is under heavy load [21:34] is there an easy way to cehck oerheks? [21:34] Mibix: check what is using the memory [21:35] top thing is sabnzbd [21:35] at 1.2gb [21:37] seems like it's a one-off trial? https://www.newshosting.com/usenet/partners/sabnzbd/ [21:37] plus does it require CC to even enter? that's not FOSS and nowhere near :)) [21:38] heh that didnt free up much of the swap shutting it down either [21:38] Mibix: what does 'free -h' look like right now? [21:39] total used free shared buff/cache available [21:39] Mem: 23G 13G 1.2G 4.0G 9.0G 6.1G [21:39] Swap: 2.0G 1.9G 133M [21:39] Mibix: ok, 6G available, you should be good now [21:39] heh i mean it was like that before [21:40] you dont really know that, did you try 'free -h' at the time of the cron error? [21:42] Mibix: for your swap to have 2G in it, it means at some point linux found that there's not enough memory to run smoothly [21:48] 'tis what happens when we get these "wonderful" new "features", like auto-mem management (APIs, or whatever); back in the day it was simple AND standard: software ITSELF had to be not only memory-aware, but also courteous to (various) other systems [21:48] no i guess ill just grab some more ram though lol [21:49] yea, take it all [21:49] "it'll be fine" [21:50] I'm pushed to use some mail client. I used to use in 90s Kmail, what's good today? [21:51] like imagine a news reader (text!!) taking up 1.2 GIGABYTES, yo.. what is that; like 90% of it some advertising-systems and product placement, telemetry and who-knows-what [21:51] can' [21:51] can't support that kind of whatever it is [21:51] lol this pc3-10600R is so cheap [21:51] i should just get 96gb [21:52] heh. :) [21:53] "tools" allowing every-nobody to form a team and put out some software, blah [21:57] sony data breach, yahoo hack.. and NO repercussions - nobody responsible; i had lost like a business account w/Yahoo that set me back.. whatever, i've never recovered from that - and then TWO YEARS later, they admit it had been a hack, meh. [21:59] when was it like ~10 yrs ago [22:00] tucked me into their fake safety net, when i didn't know any better [22:02] Mibix: it could be something else, it's odd that much ram is being filled up maybe some program has a memory leak? [22:03] Mibix: from this thread is sounds like it should barely have some mb's as memory https://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?t=23702 [22:03] oh no sabnzbd isnt using much at all after i restarded [22:04] i restarted it before i posted that memory stuff though [22:05] Mibix: it could be something else other than memory, have a look here at the comments https://askubuntu.com/questions/966496/cannot-fork-for-cron-jobs-but-ulimit-and-ram-looks-fine [22:08] Mibix: for what it's worth, i tried to fill my memory up completely and run a cronjob, it gave no errors, i used dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/shm/mem bs=4M count=1000 to fill it up [22:09] heh [22:09] it only started happening a few weeks ago and i dont remember changing anything [22:14] https://pastebin.com/e1WgexE2 [22:17] Mibix: what does this give "ps aux | awk '{print $1}' | grep root | wc -l" ? [22:19] 370 [22:21] Mibix: doesnt sound like its hitting the process limit [22:22] Mibix: maybe write something that monitors the stuff for a day and when it happens again see the logs [22:25] Mibix: while sleep 300; do date; free -h; ps aux | awk '$1 == "root"' | wc -l; done > ~/memps.log 2>&1 [22:25] Mibix: that should take a snapshot of it every 5mins [22:26] Files remain in Watched Folder [22:26] The "Watched Folder" sometimes fails to delete the NZB files it has processed. [22:26] This happens when other software still accesses these files. [22:26] Some third-party utilities supporting SABnzbd are known to do this. [22:26] We cannot solve this problem, because the Operating System (read Windows) prevents the removal. SABnzbd does try about 10 times with 5 second intervals, but after that it gives up. [22:26] The NZB will not be processed again, unless changed or overwritten. [22:28] Mibix: apparently ps -eLf shows all the threads, so you could also do ps -eLf | awk '$1 == "root"' | wc -l to see root's threads [22:28] (in the monitor/log) [22:28] https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/introduction/known-issues [22:28] i am not even sure its sabnzbd btw [22:28] that was just the program using the most memory at the time i checked [22:28] htop would tell .. [22:29] that 100% swap gave me a clue [22:30] it usually happens on sundays [22:30] which is probably the largest ram day [22:30] since there are a ton of new shows downloading and the most people watching on plex [22:30] ill get some more ram soon [22:46] Hello folks! We're seeing an issue with the official Canonical Ubuntu Cloud AMI's that are published to AWS. There are 2 microsoft repositories defined that result in warnings being logged every time apt is used. How can we report this issue to the appropriate team? [22:52] WesleyTech, 'warnings being logged every time apt is used' can you paste an example? paste.ubuntu.com [22:53] @oerheks will do [22:55] June 22nd 2020 16:34:33Error [22:55] W: Target Packages (main/binary-amd64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-prod.list:1 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft.list:1 [22:57] WesleyTech: could you file a bug here? https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+filebug thanks [22:57] We see this Warning ~10 times in our logs every time we run a deploy due to the usage of apt in our scripts. Will do on filing a bug on Launchpad, thanks! [22:57] microsoft-prod is current, the other one is old? [22:59] I don't know which is current [23:00] https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/ [23:01] disable the old one, by renaming? [23:02] lets see how one can show installed packages from that one .. [23:16] im having trouble getting wow classic to run through wine can anyone help me? [23:32] Bug submitted: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1884673 [23:32] Launchpad bug 1884673 in cloud-images "Duplicate Microsoft repos in Ubuntu 18.04 AWS AMI " [Undecided,New] [23:33] WesleyTech: excellent, thanks! [23:34] you might want to edit your ami id, serial [23:35] WesleyTech, ^^ [23:35] if I've understood amazon correctly, those are the important bits needed to find out what's affected, no? [23:35] region will do? [23:36] try popping us-west-2 into http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/ and see what you get back :) 40 entries.. [23:37] hmm. putting in that ami returns no results..
