[02:57] <MzR_Massey> Good evening - anyone have an idea about enabling gnome with plesk running alongside it
[03:21] <lotuspsychje> MzR_Massey: you want to run gnome on -server?
[03:22] <MzR_Massey> Yeah, as to install software for managing a live stream through the server,  but, wasn't sure if that and plesk would run along side eachother
[03:22] <MzR_Massey> I have icecast2 running smoothly, but want to add an auto-dj program eventually,
[03:23] <lotuspsychje> MzR_Massey: there is a plexmedia snap if you like
[03:24] <lotuspsychje> but running gnome from server, not sure thats gonna be the ideal situation on server
[03:24] <MzR_Massey> alright
[03:25] <MzR_Massey> The server does have 32GB of  RAM + 12 Cores, (its a dedicated, unmanaged server)
[03:25] <lotuspsychje> not sure how others do it, if they want a GUI but perhaps something lighter as desktop
[03:26] <MzR_Massey> Yeah I don't mind a lighter platform
[03:26] <lotuspsychje> MzR_Massey: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/how-to-install-a-gui-on-ubuntu
[03:27] <lotuspsychje> MzR_Massey: or https://linuxconfig.org/install-gui-on-ubuntu-server-18-04-bionic-beaver
[03:28] <MzR_Massey> I'm running  16.04 version of Ubuntu
[03:29] <lotuspsychje> oh right
[03:29] <lotuspsychje> well its the base howto, i guess its gonna be a bit the same
[03:30] <lotuspsychje> MzR_Massey: the end of 16.04 aproaches closer now, if you want to setup something more longtime, maybe consider 18.04 or 20.04?
[03:31] <MzR_Massey> would an upgrade from ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 mess up much?
[03:35] <lotuspsychje> MzR_Massey: well a good aproach for LTS upgrade is doing it before it goes EOL, and reading the releasenotes on the LTS you upgrade to
[03:35] <lotuspsychje> !18.04
[03:35] <lotuspsychje> MzR_Massey: in the releasenotes you will always find yourself the new changes and the problems that could arise you need to think about
[03:36] <lotuspsychje> it depends on the admins services and installed packages aswell
[03:38] <MzR_Massey> how long is the 16.04 supported till?
[03:39] <lotuspsychje> !eol
[03:40] <lotuspsychje> april 2021 + ESM support
[03:40] <lotuspsychje> but i assume you wont go ESM paying after eol?
[03:40] <MzR_Massey> yeah no
[03:47] <MzR_Massey> thanks for your help lotuspsychje
[03:48] <lotuspsychje> welcome MzR_Massey
[04:32] <fretegi> good evening
[04:32] <fretegi> gonna sound stupid i know... forgive me
[04:33] <fretegi> trying to do a backup of a data dir on a fileserver.. backup media is simply an external hdd connected directly to the server.  i cannot seem to get rsync to preserve owner/ permissions.
[04:34] <fretegi> rsync -av -h --progress /source /destination
[04:34] <fretegi> run as root
[04:35] <fretegi> why isnt the owner being picked up with the -a flag?
[04:46] <fretegi> figured it out... NTFS does not support unix permissions...
[06:12] <icey> hey jamespage: how would you feel about carrying pyopenssl in the cloud archive again?
[07:57] <icey> jamespage: also - regarding https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-archive/+bug/1836709 - should we just mark Stein wontfix, as the UCA doesn't seem to actually carry openvswitch, and disco is wontfix?
[08:39] <geodb27> People : hi ! I'm stuck with partman complaining that "Device /dev/sda2 excluded by a filter" at installation. Here is what I want to do : install a new vm (vmware) with a preseed I made. The preseed I use was used before with 18.04 without any problem. So, what has changed between these two versions as for partman's preseed ?
[08:57] <jamespage> icey: UCA does carry OVS
[08:58] <jamespage> odd
[08:58] <icey> jamespage: do we have branches for it somewhere else then?
[08:58] <jamespage> shows fix committed
[08:58] <jamespage> no
[08:59] <jamespage> icey: the branch structure aligns to ubuntu releases - when a release EOL's but there is still a related UCA pocket I just use that branch - so ubuntu/disco for stein
[08:59] <jamespage> ceph is the same
[08:59] <icey> jamespage: k
[09:00] <icey> jamespage: I'm guessing I just got thrown off by the bug being marked fix-committed but not being able to see anything on the matching ubuntu branch
[09:00] <jamespage> yeah that is odd I agree - apologies
[09:00] <jamespage> it was probably me after all
[09:59] <albech> anyone running bareos-client on 20.04? i seems that the bareos repo only support 18.04
[11:06] <Maik> albech: i found a german how to, they use the release for 18.04 on 20.04: https://plustech.de/installation-von-bareos-auf-ubuntu-20-04-focal/
[12:14] <geodb27> Anyone here to help me with d-i partman with lvm preseed ?
[12:18] <geodb27> https://dpaste.com/DZGSRJJ8N This is the relevant part of my preseed file. I know for sure that the preseed file is used since some things like ip, domain, ntp server and so on are correct after the install process. However, the partitioning described in the preseed file is not respected and I can't figure out why.
[13:14] <albech> Maik: cheers... will have a look
[13:19] <Maik> you're welcome
