| ygk_12345 | how to disable unattended security upgrades through autoinstall for ubuntu 20.04 ? | 09:31 |
|---|---|---|
| andybiker | Is there any documentation on how to change or update your mirrors on a terminal? I didn't install the graphic interface on my server and my xenial mirrors are not suggesting any upgrades | 20:56 |
| andybiker | I am using version 16 | 20:56 |
| RoyK | andybiker: /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:00 |
| andybiker | are the xenial sources still available? | 21:03 |
| andybiker | they don't seem to be | 21:04 |
| TJ- | andybiker: see all the xenial* at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ | 21:05 |
| andybiker | my pc doesn't resolve archive.ubuntu.com. what are the alternatives? | 21:11 |
| andybiker | they need to be 32 bit as well | 21:13 |
| RoyK | resolves from here | 21:14 |
| RoyK | check dns settings | 21:15 |
| compdoc | mine resolves it, but ipv6 | 22:09 |
| andybiker | Thanks RoyK, I didn't have a network device other than the loop interface and it has taken me an hour to find its name! | 22:13 |
| andybiker | I was hoping dist-upgrade would work, but not found | 22:13 |
| RoyK | amurray: ip l l | 22:28 |
| faekjarz | Gidday, mates! :D I have a bunch of code (github/gnif/vendor-reset) which i've successfully installed via "dkms install .". Now, i'm worried that this kernel module might "vanish" on reboot, after an "apt upgrade" kernel update. I know there are dkms hooks - so, where would i put this source code, in order to be build and included in the newly generated initrd automatically? (20.04 LTS, Linux 5.4.0) | 23:08 |
| TJ- | faekjarz: if it is installed via dkms install then the kernel dkms hooks should build that module for new kernel version upgrades | 23:13 |
| TJ- | faekjarz: adding a module into initialramfs is achieved via listing in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules | 23:14 |
| faekjarz | TJ-: i've added "vendor-reset" to /etc/modules - lsmod listed it after "update-initramfs -ukall" and reboot. What's this /etc/initramfs-tools... about? | 23:17 |
| TJ- | faekjarz: you asked "...included in the newly generated initrd automatically?" - that's how | 23:24 |
| TJ- | faekjarz: /etc/modules doesn't do that | 23:24 |
| faekjarz | TJ-: your statement contradicts the documentation (comments in /etc/modules) [20.04], as well as my experience: "This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded at boot time, one per line." | 23:29 |
| TJ- | faekjarz: no, it does not | 23:29 |
| TJ- | faekjarz: modules in /etc/modules are loaded via systemd's init process in the real root file-system. You asked about the initrd, which is the pre-userspace environment built by update-initramfs, which includes modules listed in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules | 23:31 |
| faekjarz | all i did was "dkms install .", add a line to /etc/modules, "update-initramfs -ukall", and reboot - the module is loaded, all right (and works as described) ...sorry, Dunning-Kruger just hit me, LOL ;) | 23:33 |
| faekjarz | i see, the user-space thing, ok | 23:33 |
| TJ- | faekjarz: modules in initrd is only necessarily if they're required to find and mount the real root file-system | 23:34 |
| faekjarz | ok, so where to did "dkms install" copy the source code, in order for it to be considered during the next kernel upgrade? | 23:36 |
| TJ- | faekjarz: it creates links when dkms add/build/install are called | 23:37 |
| TJ- | faekjarz: convention is to put kernel module sources in /usr/src/$module-$version/ | 23:38 |
| faekjarz | oh, ok, so somewhere under /lib or /usr is a symlink to /home/random/devel/moduleName/ ? | 23:38 |
| faekjarz | ls /usr/src/ returned what i was looking for - AMAZING :D | 23:40 |
| TJ- | faekjarz: see "ls -l /var/lib/dkms/*/*/source" | 23:40 |
| faekjarz | the plot thickens! <3 | 23:41 |
| * faekjarz trusts TJ- senpai's expertise now and humbly apologises for his fierce inquiry *giggles* (Thanks, mate!) | 23:43 | |
