[01:39] <designbybeck> Anyone use Boot Repair? It has been a long time since I've used it. I'm trying to help someone remotely with it, and it is asking for a password. I don't remember it ever asking for a username and password.
[01:40] <mrjohnson> i did a couple days ago. i don't remember needing a password to do stuff with it :-/
[01:40] <deltab> secure boot?
[01:42] <deltab> or the sudo password to install it?
[01:44] <designbybeck> it is just a login screen with Other
[01:44] <designbybeck> and then Login

[03:16] <StupidDanbo> Well 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.
[03:17] <StupidDanbo> so once again, there was nothing in /var/log/syslog during the time of the crash.
[03:25] <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.
[03:26] <guiverc> StupidDanbo, 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/box
[03:27] <StupidDanbo> I don't know.
[03:29] <StupidDanbo> Sorry to bring it up. I should try figuring this out another day. I've been awake way too long.
[03:29] <guiverc> yes on my keyboards it uses PrintScreen (but it says SysRq on the key itself on 6 keyboards within reach)
[03:30] <sarnold> StupidDanbo: 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 tool
[03:30] <StupidDanbo> "prt sc" above "sys rq"
[03:31] <StupidDanbo> kernel.sysrq = 176
[03:32] <StupidDanbo> I think that means.... reboot/poweroff, remount read-only, and sync command.
[03:34] <StupidDanbo> I'll write that down for later. but at least I'll know what keys to press properly this time.
[03:35] <sarnold> cool cool, I did the math on mine, 176, and came to the same conclusion: reboot, remount, sync
[04:44] <EtherMan> Anyone 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 :/

[05:15] <ckb> hey guys, I'm having a hard time making mongo a service.
[06:16] <ckb> How do I see why a service is failing to start?
[06:19] <rfm> ckb, "systemctl status whatever.service" will show any log messages, plus I think if any conditions failed
[06:20] <ckb> rfm: System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
[06:21] <ckb> Failed to connect to bus: Host is down
[06:21] <rfm> ckb, is this WSL2?
[06:21] <ckb> yes :(
[06:22] <ckb> It's definitely 20.x
[06:22] <rfm> ckb, 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)
[06:24] <ckb> rfm, mongod runs flawlessly
[06:26] <rfm> ckb, 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 help
[06:26] <ckb> rfm, I appreciate the insight
[06:28] <rfm> ckb, there's another channel #ubuntu-on-windows which specializes in WSL, perhaps ppl there could help (if anybody's awake this late!)
[06:29] <ckb> rfm, perfect. thank you so much\
[06:30] <ckb> rfm, part of me just says to go with EC2 right now
[06:31] <ckb> rfm, is there anyway I can see the logs of this start up?
[06:31] <ckb> always [fail]
[06:32] <rfm> ckb, 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.
[06:33] <rfm> ckb, 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 something
[06:35] <rfm> ckb, anyway we are dangerously offtopic for #ubuntu, and I'm quitting for the night.  Good luck.
[06:41] <ckb> Vbox costs?
[06:41] <EriC^^> vbox is free
[06:41] <ckb> Oh
[06:45] <ckb> VBox is a free VMware?
[06:46] <ckb> this makes this much easier then
[06:59] <ckb> Thank you, fellas

[07:38] <ckb> WSL is the worst :X

[13:39] <stemid> what 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)"
[13:44] <CarlFK> stemid: some sort of ipv6... not sure if that helps, bout all I got.
[13:45] <stemid> yes, but it's ipv6 and ipv4
[13:45] <stemid> it doesn't make sense
[13:52] <cbreak> ipv6 addresses can contain ipv4 addresses
[13:53] <cbreak> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address#Transition_from_IPv4
[13:59] <stemid> had to re-create all the old mysql grants with ::ffff: prefixing the old IP
[13:59] <stemid> weird. maybe there is some setting that can solve that.
[13:59] <stemid> but short term I'll just re-create the grants.
[14:00] <stemid> since these ubuntu servers have ipv6 addresses that are not used I thought this was something with ubuntu ipv6 disrupting mysql.
[14:00] <stemid> but I have no idea
[14:00] <stemid> I tried disabling ipv6 completely, the ipv6 addresses disappeared, same issue though.
[14:00] <stemid> so it's probably something about mysql.
[14:12] <cbreak> you disabled ipv6 on the server?
[14:12] <cbreak> because it seems that the server is the one doing the rejecting

[15:42] <stemid> cbreak: yes but the workaround for now is just to create new grants with ::ffff: prefixing every old IP.
[15:42] <stemid> so I will ignore the ipv6 in the OS

[16:40] <impermanence> one of the other devops engineers on my team is saying he couldn't find a package for such a version on xenial...?

[16:41] <impermanence> leftyfb: indeed.
[16:41] <leftyfb> impermanence: and no, 8.3 is not supported on xenial
[16:41] <impermanence> leftyfb: okay.  so would we have to build this from source or?
[16:42] <leftyfb> impermanence: you should upgrade your OS
[16:43] <impermanence> leftyfb: we should.
[16:43] <leftyfb> impermanence: 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.....
[16:46] <cbreak> you could upgrade, or just migrate :)
[16:47] <leftyfb> I'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 container

[17:04] <ptah> is it better to install ubuntu linux on a pc with windows system already installed for dual boot, or to install ubuntu first
[17:04] <ptah> or does it not matter
[17:05] <lotuspsychje> ptah: its easy when you create a new partition on windows first, then let ubuntu setup fill it for you
[17:06] <ptah> lotuspsychje i have windows 8 on a laptop, and im thinking of getting ubuntu
[17:06] <ptah> for dual boot

[17:40] <ham5urg> When 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.
[17:41] <ham5urg> I guess the screen-off-process expects hdmi to be a video-only-with-optional-audio-connection and not a audio-only-connection.
[17:41] <ham5urg> Is this fixable?

[23:21] <meandrain> hi, my ubuntu 20.04 freezes with AMD Ryzen 9 3900 12-Core Processor. Any tips how can I see what the problem is?
[23:22] <meandrain> I had no video card driver, it is a headless server
[23:22] <meandrain> sometimes it freezes once per day, other times after 4-5 days
[23:23] <meandrain> motherboard is:  ASRock B450D4U-V1L
[23:24] <meandrain> the machine also uses nvme samsung drives
[23:24] <sarnold> meandrain: does it have a bmc with serial or emulated serial port?
[23:24] <meandrain> I don't think so
[23:25] <meandrain> I've disabled S6 from bios, but it still freezes
[23:25] <oerheks> any heat problems?
[23:25] <meandrain> no
[23:25] <oerheks> that is what comes in mind first
[23:25] <meandrain> also ram is ok
[23:26] <meandrain> what commands should I run to look for errors ? I am new to linux :)
[23:26] <oerheks> s6 = cstates?
[23:27] <meandrain> yes
[23:27] <meandrain> I have docker running, with this errors, but I don't think that is the problem:   https://dpaste.org/9YqC
[23:28] <meandrain> also this:  https://dpaste.org/bzA0
[23:29] <meandrain> I've found this thread: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196683      so I tried disabling that

[23:30] <meandrain> that is my network card
[23:31] <meandrain> is there a way to enable some kind of kernel dump ?
[23:31] <meandrain> so when it crashes to save some debug info
[23:34] <sarnold> meandrain: oh good idea, try installing linux-crashdump
[23:35] <oerheks> what kernel is the host running?
[23:36] <meandrain> after I tried many times with the one from 20.04.02, I've upgraded an hour ago to 20.10

[23:37] <sarnold> that 5.8 kernel is kinda default on 20.04 for many users, depending upon how they installed it
[23:40] <oerheks> yes, that is oke
[23:43] <meandrain> I just checked, with 20.04.2 I had 5.4.0.66 kernel
[23:44] <oerheks> i would stay on 20.04 LTS, with !hwe enabled
[23:44] <oerheks> !hwe
[23:44] <ubottu> The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[23:44] <oerheks> that , or a fresh install of 20.04 would give 5.8
[23:45] <oerheks> but i like to see what you find, not that many ryzen 9 users
[23:45] <meandrain> I would prefer 20.04 but I don't know how to solve the freeze problem
[23:46] <oerheks> https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/kernel-crash-dump as sarnold suggested
[23:47] <sarnold> oh sweet
[23:47] <meandrain> thank you guys for directions, I'll try that
