| JanC | Soni: I assume you can find that in qemu documentation :) | 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| JanC | (I never tried to use its s390x implementation) | 00:06 |
| Soni | it's been at "installing kernel" for a while now | 00:06 |
| JanC | do you think it emulates a system with a lot more cores/cpus than the host system? | 00:07 |
| JanC | that would explain slowness for sure :P | 00:07 |
| JanC | IIRC there is also another s390x emulator named 'hercules', but I assume it's slower than qemu even... | 00:11 |
| Soni | or maybe it's singlecoreing the whole thing | 00:12 |
| Soni | or maybe there's an "Error: Timeout was reached" in the full log | 00:13 |
| Soni | okay it's still going | 00:25 |
| compdoc | qemu is pretty fast on decent hardware | 00:28 |
| compdoc | I use vert-manager and assign virtual cpus based on need and how many cores the host has | 00:29 |
| compdoc | 1 to 2 cpus is good for most servers | 00:30 |
| compdoc | *vms | 00:30 |
| JanC | compdoc: for s390x or for other guest hardware? | 00:31 |
| Soni | so maybe our hardware is crap :v | 00:31 |
| compdoc | for most guests | 00:31 |
| compdoc | I run servers in vms | 00:31 |
| JanC | if you do amd64-on-amd64 it will be fairly close to native | 00:32 |
| compdoc | on the host, you want as many cores as you can afford | 00:36 |
| Soni | 10 hours later it's finally installing openssh-server | 00:57 |
| Soni | maybe we're using bad mirrors or something | 01:58 |
| Soni | won't know until it's done tho | 01:59 |

| lordievader | Good morning | 06:55 |
| RoyK | good moaning | 06:56 |
| lordievader | Hey RoyK , how are you doing? | 07:06 |
| RoyK | tired… | 07:07 |
| RoyK | not coronised, though, which is nice | 07:07 |

| computer2000 | Hi all. I need to setup a mini pc for an outdoor vistor kiosk application that should just show one electron chromium app that lets the user browse through a static website and watch some mp4 videos. Is Ubuntu Server with NODM and OpenBox a good choice for this? | 09:34 |
| RoyK | computer2000: I've setup similar stuff with just a raspberry pi | 11:54 |
| computer2000 | @RoyK but we already have a lenovo thinkcentre :) | 11:56 |
| RoyK | can't see why it shouldn't work :) | 11:57 |
| RoyK | probably overkill in terms of cpu and memory, but then, that's just fine | 11:58 |
| RoyK | seems nodm might not be developed actively anymore according to some sites - if so, lightdm should probably work just fine. I used that for some infoscreens on a pi. It's lightweight enough | 12:03 |
| computer2000 | @RoyK did you use https://github.com/spanezz/lightdm-autologin-greeter ? | 12:08 |
| RoyK | I didn't use that, no, just automatic login with chromium in kiosk mode. the ones that are in production just show a series of web pages, autoconfigured by their MAC-based IPv6 address (no IPv4 used) so that it can be easily managed centrally. hid devices are disabled by blocking the kernel module evdev on these, so no worries there. | 12:16 |
| RoyK | computer2000: if I need console access to the unit, I either use vnc or login via ssh and modprobe evdev to access it manually. everything is locked down to only ipv6 and only a small network segment is allowed remote access (and obviously, there's authentication etc) | 12:26 |
| computer2000 | @RoyK thanks i've just made it work with https://github.com/spanezz/lightdm-autologin-greeter | 12:26 |
| computer2000 | seems pretty straight forward | 12:26 |
| computer2000 | and can use /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart for auto starting stuff after openbox opens | 12:27 |
| RoyK | just enable some security so that people won't get access via a usb keyboard or similar ;) | 12:27 |
| RoyK | computer2000: does this computer come with a touchscreen? | 12:28 |
| computer2000 | @RoyK the device is inaccessible and airgapped | 12:28 |
| computer2000 | @RoyK yes it has a touchscreen | 12:29 |
| RoyK | ok - I just go into paranoia mode whenever I start talking about public computers :) | 12:29 |
| computer2000 | :) public computers should always be the least public possible! | 12:43 |
| icey | has anybody seen something with netplan where a interface that has an address and vlans and is all using static IPs comes up without the vlans getting any addresses> | 12:53 |
| icey | judicious use of `ip link delete` and `netplan apply` has resolved my issue but that's quite frustrating, and seems like it will reproduce the next time I reboot as well :-/ | 13:09 |
| RoyK | icey: I guess filing a bug would be appropriate, then | 13:10 |
| icey | RoyK: I'm honestly not even sure what to include in the bug :-/ | 13:10 |
| icey | I haven't found any log that says anything actually happened | 13:10 |
| RoyK | better start out by listing current versions of things, the config files related and what the output of "ip l l" and similar are after a reboot and I guess you'll get more questions | 13:11 |
| icey | I'm about 6 hours of other annoyances from tearing down the entire environment :-P | 13:12 |
| RoyK | just trying to help here :) | 13:13 |
| icey | for sure, and I'm collecting what I've got on it :) | 13:13 |
| icey | I do appreciate it, I'm just annoyed by the set of machines at the moment, and then this happened :-P | 13:14 |
| Soni | adding an extra virtual cpu and getting rid of snapd seems to be helping | 13:18 |
| Soni | (what's snapd for, anyway) | 13:19 |
| Aison | any body experienced with isc-dhcp-server? is it possible to not send a global option to a specific host? | 13:22 |
| Aison | eg. option routers {do not send} | 13:23 |
| teward | Aison: usually you override that client-side on the specific host | 13:43 |
| teward | rather than rely on the DHCP server to not send a router/gateway address | 13:43 |
| Aison | hmm, the problem here is, that somehow the initramfs of ubuntu is borked | 13:43 |
| Aison | as soon as I send static routes on netboot, it fails | 13:43 |
| Aison | when I omit this option it works. for all other normal booting ubuntu clients static-routes are even required | 13:47 |
| Aison | (what is correct) | 13:47 |
| Aison | maybe I can modify initramfs so that this option is not requested | 13:47 |
| Aison | hmm | 13:47 |
| teward | o | 13:48 |
| teward | i'm still wrapping my head around automated installs / netboots - usually I don't set the static routes via DHCP unless I know what i'm doing and tested in a lab environment | 13:48 |
| teward | usually anywhere that needs static routes I set *after* boot :P | 13:49 |
| teward | (but I do a lot of admin scripting in my system so) | 13:49 |
| Aison | teward, the problem is, many clients are not under my control. Therefore I have to distribute these static routes per DHCP | 13:51 |
| Aison | in almost all cases it is working without any problem | 13:52 |
| Aison | except this "stupid" initrams :D | 13:52 |
| Aison | with nfs boot | 13:52 |
| Soni | how do you make --no-install-recommends permanent again? | 13:55 |
| Soni | nvm found it | 14:02 |
| coreycb | icey: victoria-proposed has been promoted to victoria-updates | 14:16 |

| ddstreet | icey you should now have upload rights to the openstack packageset, via your membership in ~ubuntu-openstack-dev; rafaeldtinoco can help with adjusting the seed/packageset list of specific packages | 15:17 |
| rafaeldtinoco | ddstreet: thakns dan, icey I'll check the list you sent to me this morning and will reply to you once is done. that will likely be done before eow (we're sprinting). o/ | 16:34 |
| bulle | Hi! im trying to figure out how to make the ubuntu-server installer create a raid1 uefi setup for me ? it seems it cant be done ? | 17:26 |
| tomreyn | bulle: i'm pretty sure i already did so | 20:21 |
| tomreyn | what makes you say so? | 20:21 |
| teward | tomreyn: was it with the subiquity ISO or the original debian-installer format installer? | 20:35 |
| teward | (might be relevant) | 20:35 |
| teward | also, bulle: which Ubuntu version are you installing? (also relevant) | 20:35 |
| tomreyn | teward: subiquity | 20:39 |
| tomreyn | but it may have been a 20.04 pre-release build, i think | 20:39 |
