[00:46] how do I set the sensors command to default Fahrenheit? [00:46] -f, says in the manpage [00:47] I know but how do I set that to be the default? so I don't have to run -f [00:47] write a wrapper around the sensor command so it transparently calls -f [00:48] How do I do that? [00:48] I have a app that tells me if my server gets too hot, and I need it to be in F not C [00:49] and I can't edit the app code to change the command [00:49] strange app, I thought sensors has defaulted to emitting celcius for the twenty-something years I've been using it [00:49] UnexpectedEOF: what app? [00:49] Zabbix [00:52] UnexpectedEOF: then your support question is with zabbix [00:53] I am asking here because it would be nice that I also don't need to run the -f ppram [00:53] *pram [00:53] UnexpectedEOF: 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 aliases [00:54] ok [04:02] rbasak: Thank you mc was perfect [04:02] is saving me from a lot of typing === m1dnight1 is now known as m1dnight_ === cpaelzer_ is now known as cpaelzer === calcmandan_ is now known as calcmandan [15:18] Hi guys, what is this : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=auto rhgb quiet numa=off transparent_hugepage=never elevator=noop"' [15:18] and do we have crashkernel=auto on ubuntu 20 ? [15:33] Hamidreza: crashkernel is used when you want to automatically save kernel dumps in a case of unexpected events. [15:34] dasm, what about rhgb ? [15:35] is this parameter work for ubuntu 20? [15:35] rhgb = 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. [15:36] dasm, so it is working for ubuntu or not? [15:36] rhgb will hide this info during boot? [15:37] Hamidreza: 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 works [15:38] dasm, can you say what is other parameters? [15:38] like: quiet [15:38] numa=off [15:39] and elevator=noop [15:40] quiet = 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] numa=off it disables NUMA support [15:40] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-uniform_memory_access [15:41] Here I found pretty verbose description of elevator=noop: https://lonesysadmin.net/2008/02/21/elevatornoop/ [17:35] anyone have experience installing autodesk license manager (flexlm) on ubuntu server? [17:48] UsQUE: might want to keep in mind: Ubuntu isn't a supported OS by them officially, so you might have problems ;) [17:48] for FlexLicenseManager [17:52] teward, problems in what? not much I can't handle :P [17:53] ERR:NODETAILS [17:53] just that it's not officially supported by that company/product [17:53] I known :) [17:54] just want to try it and see how it goes in my test env [18:21] teward, do you known how to startup script on ubuntu server at boot? :) [18:23] i know a few different ways from old style rc.local to special @reboot cronjobs to full SystemD service units that execute a script at boot [18:27] teward, there mentioning this: Open /etc/rc.d/rc.local script as root and enter license server start up command in it. [18:27] sounds the rc.local method most easy method ? :) [18:29] thats 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 deprecated [18:32] teward, what is the best way to do nowdays ? [18:32] via /etc/init.d/ ? [18:32] systemd units. [18:32] init.d is old too (that's sysvinit/upstart) [18:34] any guide? [18:34] how to do it the new way? :D [18:34] feeling old now :P
