[00:06] <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
[00:07] <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
[00:11] <JanC> IIRC there is also another s390x emulator named 'hercules', but I assume it's slower than qemu even...
[00:12] <Soni> or maybe it's singlecoreing the whole thing
[00:13] <Soni> or maybe there's an "Error: Timeout was reached" in the full log
[00:25] <Soni> okay it's still going
[00:28] <compdoc> qemu is pretty fast on decent hardware
[00:29] <compdoc> I use vert-manager and assign virtual cpus based on need and how many cores the host has
[00:30] <compdoc> 1 to 2 cpus is good for most servers
[00:30] <compdoc> *vms
[00:31] <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
[00:32] <JanC> if you do amd64-on-amd64 it will be fairly close to native
[00:36] <compdoc> on the host, you want as many cores as you can afford
[00:57] <Soni> 10 hours later it's finally installing openssh-server
[01:58] <Soni> maybe we're using bad mirrors or something
[01:59] <Soni> won't know until it's done tho

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

[09:34] <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?
[11:54] <RoyK> computer2000: I've setup similar stuff with just a raspberry pi
[11:56] <computer2000> @RoyK but we already have a lenovo thinkcentre :)
[11:57] <RoyK> can't see why it shouldn't work :)
[11:58] <RoyK> probably overkill in terms of cpu and memory, but then, that's just fine
[12:03] <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
[12:08] <computer2000> @RoyK did you use https://github.com/spanezz/lightdm-autologin-greeter ?
[12:16] <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.
[12:26] <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
[12:27] <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 ;)
[12:28] <RoyK> computer2000: does this computer come with a touchscreen?
[12:28] <computer2000> @RoyK the device is inaccessible and airgapped
[12:29] <computer2000> @RoyK yes it has a touchscreen
[12:29] <RoyK> ok - I just go into paranoia mode whenever I start talking about public computers :)
[12:43] <computer2000> :) public computers should always be the least public possible!
[12:53] <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>
[13:09] <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 :-/
[13:10] <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
[13:11] <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
[13:12] <icey> I'm about 6 hours of other annoyances from tearing down the entire environment :-P
[13:13] <RoyK> just trying to help here :)
[13:13] <icey> for sure, and I'm collecting what I've got on it :)
[13:14] <icey> I do appreciate it, I'm just annoyed by the set of machines at the moment, and then this happened :-P
[13:18] <Soni> adding an extra virtual cpu and getting rid of snapd seems to be helping
[13:19] <Soni> (what's snapd for, anyway)
[13:22] <Aison> any body experienced with isc-dhcp-server? is it possible to not send a global option to a specific host?
[13:23] <Aison> eg. option routers {do not send}
[13:43] <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
[13:47] <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
[13:48] <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
[13:49] <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)
[13:51] <Aison> teward, the problem is, many clients are not under my control. Therefore I have to distribute these static routes per DHCP
[13:52] <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
[13:55] <Soni> how do you make --no-install-recommends permanent again?
[14:02] <Soni> nvm found it
[14:16] <coreycb> icey: victoria-proposed has been promoted to victoria-updates
[14:16] <icey> \o/
[15:17] <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
[16:34] <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/
[17:26] <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 ?
[20:21] <tomreyn> bulle: i'm pretty sure i already did so
[20:21] <tomreyn> what makes you say so?
[20:35] <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)
[20:39] <tomreyn> teward: subiquity
[20:39] <tomreyn> but it may have been a 20.04 pre-release build, i think
