| ychaouche | hello #ubuntu-server | 08:40 |

| ychaouche | is there a way to show motd again after I login ? | 08:42 |
| ychaouche | run-parts /etc/update-motd/ | 09:09 |
| ychaouche | /etc/update-motd.d/* | 09:09 |
| ychaouche | my next question would be : I'd like to show a static text. What's the proper way to do that ? should I change the configuration in pam ? | 09:09 |

| friendlyguy | hi there! i am wondering about a dependency situation, and how i could resolve it properly: opendistroforelasticsearch depends on elasticsearch-oss. however: i have elasticsearch installed and i'd like it to use that instead | 12:40 |
| friendlyguy | from looking at the feature matrix: elasticsearch includes all functionality that the oss version has to offer. so i dont see why it wouldn't be compatible | 12:41 |
| friendlyguy | whats the right way to try? download the deb and untar / modify control? | 12:51 |
| mgedmin | there's a debian package for overriding dependencies, but I forgot what it was called | 13:56 |
| mgedmin | ah, equivs | 13:57 |
| mgedmin | the way it works, it enerates a trivial .deb with some Provides: ... metadata and then installs that .deb | 13:58 |
| mgedmin | friendlyguy: ^ | 13:58 |
| ychaouche | how do I force the update of the motd message ? | 13:59 |
| mgedmin | sudo update-motd maybe? | 14:02 |
| ychaouche | that package isn't installed by default | 14:07 |
| ychaouche | and the description of the package says : " The functionality formerly provided by this package is now integrated into | 14:07 |
| ychaouche | pam_motd, in libpam-modules. | 14:07 |
| ychaouche | " | 14:07 |
| ychaouche | pam_motd isn't a command though | 14:07 |
| * ychaouche could it be a libexec ? | 14:08 | |
| * ychaouche oh, libexec don't exist anymore ? | 14:12 | |
| * ychaouche what year is this ? | 14:12 | |
| mgedmin | https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/groovy/en/man8/update-motd.8.html | 14:12 |
| mgedmin | says it's compatible with pam_motd | 14:13 |
| mgedmin | (the only way to trigger pam_motd is to log in) | 14:13 |
| mgedmin | (maybe via ssh, maybe on /dev/tty3 etc.) | 14:13 |
| ychaouche | mgedmin, I got you. It's just that reading from the package description I thought I didn't have to actually install it since what it does is already covered by pamd, but since you also say that I can't trigger pamd manually, I guess I have no other option for now. | 14:15 |
| ychaouche | I could just have overwritten /var/run/motd or wherever pamd reads the motd from I guess | 14:33 |
| ychaouche | run-parts /etc/update-motd.d/ > /var/run/motd | 14:33 |
| mgedmin | but /usr/sbin/update-motd does that atomically | 14:35 |
| ychaouche | humm... I think the real problem was that my script was having a syntax error, that's why the /var/run/motd wasn't updated | 14:35 |
| ychaouche | I have uninstalled update-motd, changed my script, logged out and back in, changes are immediatly visible. | 14:36 |
| ychaouche | My first assumptions about motd not being updated automatically were wrong | 14:36 |
| mgedmin | fwiw update-motd passes --lsbsysinit to run-parts; not sure if it matters in practice | 14:37 |
| ychaouche | apparently that only filters what scripts are executed based on filenames and file permissions IIRC. | 14:41 |
| zetheroo1 | Is this for Ubuntu 16.04 as well? https://buy.ubuntu.com/collections/ubuntu-advantage-virtual | 15:36 |
| zetheroo1 | because it just says 'Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Extended Security Maintenance (ESM)' everywhere | 15:37 |
| mgedmin | 16.04 still has regular security support until next April, after which it'll go into ESM too | 15:43 |
| mgedmin | five years since 2016-04 | 15:43 |
| zetheroo1 | mgedmin: afaik ESM for 16.04 ends in 04/2024 | 15:47 |
| zetheroo1 | but the question is if the stuff I linked to is for 16.04 ... | 15:47 |
| mgedmin | yeah, LTS = 5-year support for everyone, ESM extends that to 10 years and requires $$$ | 15:48 |
| mgedmin | I expect that page will change in 2021-04 to mention 16.04 as well | 15:49 |
| zetheroo1 | mgedmin: according to https://ubuntu.com/security/esm '16.04 (Xenial Xerus) will have updates provided for up to three years after the end of the Standard Security Maintenance window.' | 15:50 |
| mgedmin | oh, not 10 years, just 8 years? interesting | 15:50 |
| zetheroo1 | 'Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) and subsequent releases until further announcement will have ESM updates provided for up to five years' | 15:50 |
| mgedmin | at this point I'm pretty sure you know more than I so I'll stop answering ;) | 15:51 |
| zetheroo1 | I don't know ... just trying to put the pieces together | 15:52 |
| zetheroo1 | is EOL the same as end of ESM? | 15:53 |
| mgedmin | I think that's the new terminology, yes | 15:54 |
| zetheroo1 | right | 15:54 |
| mgedmin | (some people might still say EOL and mean the end of regular support) | 15:54 |
| endersending | I am looking for some help. I am trying to install ubuntu 18 server as a guest in Xen/Qemu. The install goes fine, but on boot it dies not being able to find the LVM | 16:23 |
| endersending | I tried to install ubuntu 20 LTS server, and it kept crashes during the install | 16:24 |
| endersending | Has anyone had experience installing server on a VM? | 16:25 |
| mgedmin | yes, a libvirt vm | 16:27 |
| mgedmin | 18.04, installed fine using the live-server iso in virt-manager | 16:29 |
| endersending | mgedmin, did you use the ISO or a vm image? | 16:29 |
| endersending | I tries the ISO | 16:29 |
| endersending | 18 installs, but dies on boot not finding the LVM | 16:29 |
| mgedmin | dunno, I created an lvm partition and let libvirt use it as the virtual disk for the VM; then didn't add another LVM layer in the ubuntu installer | 16:31 |
| endersending | Do you remeber is your virtual disk showed up twice? mine does, one as /dev/xd0 (or something) and the other as a Qemu disk | 16:33 |
| ChmEarl | endersending, this is the Xen from bionic repo? xen-4.11? if so, paste your xl/xen config and `fdisk -l /dev/VG/LV` for your LVM | 16:41 |
| endersending | let me look.. | 16:44 |
| endersending | 4.9.112-32.el7.x86_64 | 16:45 |
| endersending | its Centos as the hypervisor. | 16:45 |
| endersending | my disks are served via fibre channel, so i just give the VM the whole raw disk | 16:46 |
| endersending | not sure how to dump my xen config | 16:46 |
| endersending | fdisk: https://pastebin.pl/view/1dae889e | 16:52 |
| endersending | I am going to try to install again... maybe i can get it to work | 16:54 |
| RoyK | endersending: I haven't used xen for 10 years or så ;) | 16:55 |
| ChmEarl | endersending, why use type BIOS for your xvda1 (1st partition)? make it type Linux (83) and size 2G | 17:03 |
| endersending | ChmEarl, that was the auto config.. can I just put everything on one partition, or do I need a boot partition> | 17:14 |
| ChmEarl | endersending, 1 partition | 17:15 |
| endersending | ok.. If this instll doesnt work Ill try with a different partition config | 17:16 |
| endersending | It installed this time.. I think the difference could have been the first few tries, I reused a VM I had set up for freebsd.. so creating a new one and saying that I am using ubuntu 18, might have solved the problem | 17:17 |
| endersending | Thank you very much for the help | 17:17 |
| endersending | Now I am going to try to create my own open street maps tile server | 17:18 |
