UnexpectedEOFhow do I set the sensors command to default Fahrenheit?00:46
mybalzitch-f, says in the manpage00:46
UnexpectedEOFI know but how do I set that to be the default? so I don't have to run -f00:47
mybalzitchwrite a wrapper around the sensor command so it transparently calls -f00:47
UnexpectedEOFHow do I do that?00:48
UnexpectedEOFI have a app that tells me if my server gets too hot, and I need it to be in F not C00:48
UnexpectedEOFand I can't edit the app code to change the command00:49
sarnoldstrange app, I thought sensors has defaulted to emitting celcius for the twenty-something years I've been using it00:49
leftyfbUnexpectedEOF: what app?00:49
UnexpectedEOFZabbix00:49
leftyfbUnexpectedEOF: then your support question is with zabbix00:52
UnexpectedEOFI am asking here because it would be nice that I also don't need to run the -f ppram00:53
UnexpectedEOF*pram00:53
leftyfbUnexpectedEOF: you can make an alias for your user to call sensors with -f. But if zabbix is calling the binary directly, it's not going to use any aliases00:53
UnexpectedEOFok00:54

HamidrezaHi guys, what is this : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=auto rhgb quiet numa=off transparent_hugepage=never elevator=noop"'15:18
Hamidrezaand do we have crashkernel=auto on ubuntu 20 ?15:18
dasmHamidreza: crashkernel is used when you want to automatically save kernel dumps in a case of unexpected events.15:33
Hamidrezadasm, what about rhgb ?15:34
Hamidrezais this parameter work for ubuntu 20?15:35
dasmrhgb = redhat graphical boot - This is a GUI mode booting screen with most of the information hidden while the user sees a rotating activity icon spining and brief information as to what the computer is doing.15:35
Hamidrezadasm, so it is working for ubuntu or not?15:36
Hamidrezarhgb will hide this info during boot?15:36
dasmHamidreza: i can only talk based on ubuntu desktop experience (i don't have server handy), when you're booting up your machine, it hides menu, shows spinning circle, and it works15:37
Hamidrezadasm, can you say what is other parameters?15:38
Hamidrezalike: quiet15:38
Hamidrezanuma=off15:38
Hamidrezaand elevator=noop15:39
dasmquiet = hides the majority of boot messages before rhgb starts. These are supposed to make the common user more comfortable. They get alarmed about seeing the kernel and initializing messages, so they hide them for their comfort.15:40
dasmnuma=off it disables NUMA support15:40
dasmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-uniform_memory_access15:40
dasmHere I found pretty verbose description of elevator=noop: https://lonesysadmin.net/2008/02/21/elevatornoop/15:41
UsQUEanyone have experience installing autodesk license manager (flexlm) on ubuntu server?17:35
tewardUsQUE: might want to keep in mind: Ubuntu isn't a supported OS by them officially, so you might have problems ;)17:48
tewardfor FlexLicenseManager17:48
UsQUEteward, problems in what? not much I can't handle :P17:52
tewardERR:NODETAILS17:53
tewardjust that it's not officially supported by that company/product17:53
UsQUEI known :)17:53
UsQUEjust want to try it and see how it goes in my test env17:54
UsQUEteward, do you known how to startup script on ubuntu server at boot? :)18:21
tewardi know a few different ways from old style rc.local to special @reboot cronjobs to full SystemD service units that execute a script at boot18:23
UsQUEteward, there mentioning this: Open /etc/rc.d/rc.local script as root and enter license server start up command in it.18:27
UsQUEsounds the rc.local method most easy method ? :)18:27
tewardthats the old way and I wouldnt use rc.local anymore for that.  Because it executes everything as root, so unless you NEED it to run as root you shouldn't.  But that's a bit beyond the original question you asked, if they say to do that i'd follow *their* guide at least until rc.local is fully deprecated18:29
UsQUEteward, what is the best way to do nowdays ?18:32
UsQUEvia /etc/init.d/ ?18:32
tewardsystemd units.18:32
tewardinit.d is old too (that's sysvinit/upstart)18:32
UsQUEany guide?18:34
UsQUEhow to do it the new way? :D18:34
UsQUEfeeling old now :P18:34
