[05:13] <kinghat> did wireguard get ported back to 18.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-117-generic x86_64)?
[10:10] <tomreyn> there's wireguard-dkms
[10:11] <tomreyn> which i thnk should work with the vanilla kernel.
[10:47] <Blueking> anyone into sas controller hba/raid and sas expanders ?
[10:48] <Blueking> tried google for sas expanders, if it's possibly to connect multiple pc's to one sas expander... if have a big cabinet with two systems  two mobo with their own hba card   can both connect to same expander card ?
[11:52] <tomreyn> this sounds like a ##hardware question to me.
[13:26] <kinghat> tomreyn: wireguard-dkms?
[14:20] <tomreyn> kinghat: yes?
[14:25] <kinghat> does the hwe kernel come with it?
[14:26] <tomreyn> ...-dkms packages allow you to build kernel modules for different kernel versions from source, all automatically.
[14:27] <tomreyn> and i think the in-kernel changes needed are in both the vanilla 18.04 kernel and the hwe ones, if implemented differently.
[14:27] <tomreyn> that's from memory, though, you may want to cross check this yourself.
[19:02] <slave_blocker> when i run the following code on a local raspi no problem. When i run it on the vps it throws me AssertionError... Any ideas why? i need to create a user and set it's password in a script.

[19:09] <tomreyn> looks like a programming question

[19:18] <hammer065> Hey, I want to install Ubuntu Server 20.04 on a machine. I want to have a RAID 5 and full-disk encryption, but when trying to install it, the installer crashes
[19:20] <hammer065> The legacy installer is able to install Ubuntu Server 20.04 successfully, but it fails to boot as it doesn't ask for a LUKS password and falls into the Busybox initramfs shell
[19:23] <locknet> hammer065, is your ISO integrity good?
[19:23] <locknet> do a checksum
[19:24] <locknet> if you are on linux can check with sha256sum and compare with Ubuntu's page SHA256 hash
[19:28] <tomreyn> hammer065: also make sure you're using the 20.04.1, not 20.04(.0) installer, or update subiquity live.
[19:32] <tomreyn> laundry: also, the release version can matter.
[19:33] <laundry> Does anyone know how to view logs of a failed autoinstall?Is there a kernel flag I need to pass to make it interactive so I can view the log file after a failure?
[19:33] <laundry> I am using Server 20.04-1
[19:33] <laundry> If that is what you mean tomreyn
[19:33] <tomreyn> right
[19:34] <tomreyn> do you know about when it failed?
[19:35] <laundry> I'm attempting to use packer to create a template for Proxmox, and I'm using 'curtin' to disable swap, but autoinstall is super new, and not many examples are out so I think I'm screwing something up there... Can I post it on pastebin and share the link here?
[19:35] <tomreyn> if it failed late and you can access the target storage by other means, you should find logs on the target root file system at /var/log/ (look for 'suboquity', 'curtin', 'installer' there)
[19:35] <tomreyn> * 'subiquity'
[19:36] <tomreyn> https://paste.ubuntu.com is preferred around here.
[19:38] <laundry> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ztmrZryCjF/
[19:38] <laundry> Excuse the bad quality, I'm just trying to get it to work currently
[19:38] <laundry> Is there any way I can use preseed instead? Autoinstall doesn't seem too advanced yet...
[19:39] <laundry> Also, I will attempt to pause the VM and extract the files, but no promises...
[19:39] <tomreyn> you can also ssh to it
[19:39] <laundry> Any way to get the ip during installation? and default login?
[19:40] <tomreyn> hmm, i don't remember, it may be discussed somewhere on discourse.ubuntu.com
[19:41] <tomreyn> i'm not sure there's proper documentation, yet (or will be).
[19:41] <tomreyn> if you really prefer preseed, there's still the mini.iso, well hidden somewhere.
[19:41] <laundry> I'm honestly just trying to get something work with packer
[19:42] <laundry> (or better yet, know a better OS to use for creating a local kubernetes cluster, that would be much obliged :) )
[19:43] <laundry> I might have to just use CentOS 7
[19:43] <tomreyn> mini.iso would be in netboot here http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/
[19:46] <tomreyn> https://www.aerialls.io/posts/ubuntu-server-2004-image-packer-subiquity-for-proxmox/
[19:49] <tomreyn> laundry: serial console should also work
[19:50] <tomreyn> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1235723/automated-20-04-server-installation-using-pxe-and-live-server-image
[19:52] <tomreyn> documentation, sourced from https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/introduction/11322 , is at https://ubuntu.com/server/docs
[19:52] <laundry> tomreyn: Thank you!!!
[19:52] <laundry> the first link looks promising
[19:52] <laundry> I would ideally want to use LVM, but if I have to, I'll use direct
[19:53] <laundry> I'll most likely create a thread for help if I still need it
[19:53] <laundry> Unfortunately, I am out of time right now to do this stuff, but I will attempt to report back at a future date
[19:53] <laundry> Thank you very much tomreyn :)
[19:53] <tomreyn> you're welcome. i don't see why you can't use LVM.
[19:54] <tomreyn> make sure you report a bug, if any.
[20:04] <QUESTION2> ok... so i leave out the assert . How can i ask if a user has any password ?
[20:06] <tomreyn> man passwd, look for --status
[20:07] <tomreyn> is this even about ubuntu?
[20:29] <QUESTION2> ...
[20:30] <QUESTION2> i managed to set up a user with a password in an ubuntu 18.04 vps.
[20:30] <QUESTION2> when i try to sftp into it it tells me :
[20:30] <QUESTION2> subsystem request failed on channel 0
[20:30] <QUESTION2> Connection closed
[20:33] <znf> So maybe someone has an idea about this - I've replaced mobo/cpu on a server that has some DVB-S cards in
[20:33] <znf> After the replacement, I can see the cards with lspci
[20:33] <znf> I have the drivers compiled/installed, the drivers were working fine before replacement
[20:34] <znf> Now if I lspci -vk, I don't see any driver attached to those cards
[20:34] <znf> I tried to modprobe it manually, I can see it in lsmod
[20:34] <znf> But, still... nothing
[21:45] <tomreyn> znf: anything in dmesg about it?
[21:45] <tomreyn> secureboot enabled by chance?
[21:49] <znf> nothing, no secureboot
[21:49] <znf> heck, UEFI is not enabled at all, it's in legacy
[22:18] <tomreyn> znf: maybe the code you compiled was optimized to a certain CPU vendor or generation?
[22:19] <znf> tomreyn, yeah, but I recompiled the driver
[22:21] <znf> and rebooted
[22:23] <tomreyn> i don't have an immediate explanation then, based on the level of details that's available. (and i don't want to spend more time on it either.)
[22:30] <znf> my only guess is that those boards have a molex connector for extra power
[22:30] <znf> and something's wrong there with it...
[22:34] <znf> but why would it still show up in lspci, then
[22:36] <oerheks> it shows up in lspci, but would not work in HD ,...
[22:36] <oerheks> seriously, what makes you think it will work without proper power?
[22:36] <znf> I don't know if it doesn't have "proper power"
[22:37] <znf> I'm saying that the only reason I could think of is that something happened to that molex connector
[23:36] <znf> the reason I can't check is that it's a remote system and nobody can check it until tomorrow, so I was just wondering...
