StupidDanboWell my next crash happened a lot sooner than I thought. only 3 days later. Alt-PrtScr S U B did not have any effect, nor did Alt-PrtScr R E I S U B. My audio was repeating a fraction of a second loop over and over again. Once again I had to hit the reset button on my case.03:16
StupidDanboso once again, there was nothing in /var/log/syslog during the time of the crash.03:17
StupidDanbo.... oh. I was supposed to hit alt-PrtScr-[and the letter] all at the same time? I thought it was Alt-PrtScr, release, then the letters.03:25
guivercStupidDanbo, the SysRq key varies on box/firmware/keyboard, eg. it's not always the printscreen; current dell keyboards for example use the Insert Key.   Are you using the correct key for your keyboard/box03:26
StupidDanboI don't know.03:27
StupidDanboSorry to bring it up. I should try figuring this out another day. I've been awake way too long.03:29
guivercyes on my keyboards it uses PrintScreen (but it says SysRq on the key itself on 6 keyboards within reach)03:29
sarnoldStupidDanbo: btw check the kernel.sysrq sysctl setting; /etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf on ubuntu is the usual place to configure it, but perhaps it's been set to something else via a different tool03:30
StupidDanbo"prt sc" above "sys rq"03:30
StupidDanbokernel.sysrq = 17603:31
StupidDanboI think that means.... reboot/poweroff, remount read-only, and sync command.03:32
StupidDanboI'll write that down for later. but at least I'll know what keys to press properly this time.03:34
sarnoldcool cool, I did the math on mine, 176, and came to the same conclusion: reboot, remount, sync03:35
EtherManAnyone know if grml-rescueboot would boot the iso by loading into ram and booting from there or will the iso have to remain mounted in the same place? I'm looking for a way to resize the root partition on a VPS so don't have a way to boot off of external stuff :/04:44

ckbhey guys, I'm having a hard time making mongo a service.05:15
ckbHow do I see why a service is failing to start?06:16
rfmckb, "systemctl status whatever.service" will show any log messages, plus I think if any conditions failed06:19
ckbrfm: System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.06:20
ckbFailed to connect to bus: Host is down06:21
rfmckb, is this WSL2?06:21
ckbyes :(06:21
ckbIt's definitely 20.x06:22
rfmckb, oh, then I can't help.  WSL2 although it says it's Ubuntu really isn't (you've hit one of the main differences, no systemd, it uses some Microsoft custom init)06:22
ckbrfm, mongod runs flawlessly06:24
rfmckb, I'm sure it does, it's all in the init scripts (instead of systemd units); I'm sure it could be made to work (probably by writing sysv-init style scripts) but I'm afraid I haven't done that in decades now, so can't help06:26
ckbrfm, I appreciate the insight06:26
rfmckb, there's another channel #ubuntu-on-windows which specializes in WSL, perhaps ppl there could help (if anybody's awake this late!)06:28
ckbrfm, perfect. thank you so much\06:29
ckbrfm, part of me just says to go with EC2 right now06:30
ckbrfm, is there anyway I can see the logs of this start up?06:31
ckbalways [fail]06:31
rfmckb, how is it starting?  If it's a sysv style init script (in /etc/init/?  been too long) you could just run it in a root shell.06:32
rfmckb, an alternative to EC2 (which isn't a bad idea, actually) you could install virtualbox and run a real Ubuntu distribution.  Mind, it's about a full day job figuring out how to turn off HyperV so VBox can run...)06:33
EriC^^ckb: 'cat /var/log/boot.log' might show something06:33
rfmckb, anyway we are dangerously offtopic for #ubuntu, and I'm quitting for the night.  Good luck.06:35
ckbVbox costs?06:41
EriC^^vbox is free06:41
ckbOh06:41
ckbVBox is a free VMware?06:45
ckbthis makes this much easier then06:46
ckbThank you, fellas06:59
ckb<306:59
ckbWSL is the worst :X07:38
ograckb, for ESL questions you could try https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/wsl2/2707:40
ogras/ESL/WSL/07:40
ckbogra, I'm giving up on MS07:47
ograup to you 🙂07:48

stemidI just realized I have two ubuntu 18.04 virtual machines on the same hypervisor, same network driver, different NIC device names. one was upgraded from ubuntu 14 and the other was a fresh 18 install. how can I fix this? the older VM uses eth0 and the newer uses ens16011:43

ahrihi, I'm trying to configure a docker image to use an apt proxy (so I've replaced /etc/apt/sources.list), but the proxy forces https. because of this I can't even "apt update" as I'm told to install ca-certificates, which I can't, because apt won't work :) how can I bootstrap my ubuntu image?

stemidwhat sort of weirdness is happening here? I'm doing mysql -h 10.40.1.58 from 10.40.1.51 and I get this error "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'netadmin'@'::ffff:10.40.1.51' (using password: YES)"13:39
CarlFKstemid: some sort of ipv6... not sure if that helps, bout all I got.13:44
stemidyes, but it's ipv6 and ipv413:45
stemidit doesn't make sense13:45
cbreakipv6 addresses can contain ipv4 addresses13:52
cbreakhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address#Transition_from_IPv413:53
stemidhad to re-create all the old mysql grants with ::ffff: prefixing the old IP13:59
stemidweird. maybe there is some setting that can solve that.13:59
stemidbut short term I'll just re-create the grants.13:59
stemidsince these ubuntu servers have ipv6 addresses that are not used I thought this was something with ubuntu ipv6 disrupting mysql.14:00
stemidbut I have no idea14:00
stemidI tried disabling ipv6 completely, the ipv6 addresses disappeared, same issue though.14:00
stemidso it's probably something about mysql.14:00
cbreakyou disabled ipv6 on the server?14:12

impermanenceone of the other devops engineers on my team is saying he couldn't find a package for such a version on xenial...?16:40
leftyfbimpermanence: 16.04 will be EOL next month16:40
impermanenceleftyfb: indeed.16:41
leftyfbimpermanence: and no, 8.3 is not supported on xenial16:41
impermanenceleftyfb: okay.  so would we have to build this from source or?16:41
leftyfbimpermanence: you should upgrade your OS16:42
impermanenceleftyfb: we should.16:43
leftyfbimpermanence: or just leave the OS that will become EOL in a month with a patched together remote access. It's not like it'll get compromised or anything.....16:43
cbreakyou could upgrade, or just migrate :)16:46
leftyfbI'm building a couple new servers that will be running all my main stuff in LXD containers. That way I can move them between the 2 servers if need be and easily set snapshots and migrate accounts and services to other containers if I need to upgrade the underlying OS of the container16:47

ham5urgWhen I attach a laptop to a hifi-receiver via hdmi, audio is played via the receiver as expected. But everytime the laptop shuts off the monitor (e.g. 5 min. without mouse/keyboard-input) the audio via hdmi is stopped and the laptop starts to continue the audio-output.17:40
ham5urgI guess the screen-off-process expects hdmi to be a video-only-with-optional-audio-connection and not a audio-only-connection.17:41

sarnoldmeandrain: does it have a bmc with serial or emulated serial port?23:24
meandrainI don't think so23:24

oerheksany heat problems?23:25

meandrainI have docker running, with this errors, but I don't think that is the problem:   https://dpaste.org/9YqC23:27
meandrainalso this:  https://dpaste.org/bzA023:28
meandrainI've found this thread: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196683      so I tried disabling that23:29

meandrainso when it crashes to save some debug info23:31
sarnoldmeandrain: oh good idea, try installing linux-crashdump23:34
oerhekswhat kernel is the host running?23:35
meandrainafter I tried many times with the one from 20.04.02, I've upgraded an hour ago to 20.1023:36
meandrainLinux 5.8.0-44-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP23:37
meandrainit did not crashed yet, but it is too soon23:37
sarnoldthat 5.8 kernel is kinda default on 20.04 for many users, depending upon how they installed it23:37
oerheksyes, that is oke23:40
meandrainI just checked, with 20.04.2 I had 5.4.0.66 kernel23:43
oerheksi would stay on 20.04 LTS, with !hwe enabled23:44
oerheks!hwe23:44
ubottuThe Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack23:44
oerheksthat , or a fresh install of 20.04 would give 5.823:44
oerheksbut i like to see what you find, not that many ryzen 9 users23:45
meandrainI would prefer 20.04 but I don't know how to solve the freeze problem23:45
oerhekshttps://ubuntu.com/server/docs/kernel-crash-dump as sarnold suggested23:46
sarnoldoh sweet23:47
meandrainthank you guys for directions, I'll try that23:47
