Guest1970Hello, is there a channel for people hoping to learn to contribute code?01:16

lantech19446I'm running ubuntu in a hyper-v instance as a web server and it's seeing 30% processor usage at practically no load any ideas on decreasing processor usage01:29
sarnoldlantech19446: try running perf top to see what it's doing01:32
lantech19446sarnold: having an issue with it it tells me to install perf from certain packages but then can't find those packages but thanks for the advice i'll get it sorted and do that asap01:36
sarnoldlantech19446: maybe an apt update && apt upgrade and reboot, to get new kernel?01:37
=== tony is now known as Guest2071
lantech19446sarnold: it's on 5.13 and the linux-tools were supposed to be for 5.13 but i'm running ansible right now to do all the upgrades01:43
sarnoldlantech19446: the perf tools are supplied by packages related to the exact kernel package you're running, eg linux-tools-5.4.0-91-generic or whatever01:46
sarnoldlantech19446: my guess is your system booted a while ago, there's been kernel updates published, the packages for the kernel you're currently running have been removed from the mirrors because they've been replaced, and now the old ones aren't available any more..01:47
lantech19446right I'm running 5.13 and the linux tools were 5.13.0-053100 or something generic but it was definitely for the right kernel01:47
sarnoldthat's a funny version number01:47
lantech19446I don't remember precisely what the last 4 or 5 were but it was something like that01:48
sarnoldit's about three digits more than I expected :) see eg https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/5.13.0-22.22  -- all those are 5.13.0-22 kinds of things01:48
lantech19446sarnold: after running all the upgrades it said to just get linux-tools-generic which are actually on version like 5.4 but it's installing now01:50
weshhello?01:51
sarnoldlantech19446: hrm... yeah, linux-tools-generic *should* do it, but if your kernel comes from a different package entirely, it might not be properly matched up01:51
lantech19446and now we're back to the other error. I don't have time to reboot it right now I leave in 4 minutes this will become a job for tomorrow01:51
sarnoldgn8 :)01:52
lantech19446I did find out that I wrote my updates playbook correctly though01:52

dqtjyI'm using Ubuntu 20.04. All of the sudden when I go to a specific website, the browser just says "unable to connect" as if I gave a bad url. `dig sitedomain.com +short` shows 0.0.0.0,  and I can access the website just fine on another device in my network. Why is the url resolving to 0.0.0.0?  There is no entry for this domain in my hosts file.03:01
dqtjy`dig sitedomain.com @8.8.8.8 +short` shows two (correct) IPs.03:01
dqtjyThe output of `sudo ss -lnp '( sport = :53 )'`  (  https://termbin.com/oaph )   shows systemd-resolve, and if I look up the PID, it's "systemd+"03:04
sarnolddqtjy: I suggest putting the domain name in https://dnsviz.net/ -- it does a great job of explaining a lot of common dns issues03:05
webchat31alright this has been driving me crazy for hours, how do I decompress a PLAIN .tar (no gzip or anything) using several cores?03:29
webchat31my problem is I have around 20 gigs of data composed of lots of tiny files that come packaged in .tar, when I try to extract them on a kaggle instance they take too long and the instance expires and fails.03:29
webchat31I can extract them and recompress them using another method on a live instance, but the "saved" instances expire too fast on regular .tar. So if there's some alternative format I can use for faster decompression that'd be good too.03:29
webchat31I can't put the data on Mega and use the megacmd tool too cause of the 5GB bandwidth limit03:29
sarnoldwebchat31: do you have the memory to decompress them to a shmfs mount rather than disk? if not, maybe try to add an eatmydata to it, to try to disable the sync syscalls from tar?03:39
sarnoldwebchat31: is this one single tarball with a million little files in it? or is it a million little tarballs with a handful of files in each?03:39
webchat31sarnold: It's one single tarball with lots of folders with lots of files in them. I wish to preserve the directory structure too.04:01
webchat31And no I don't think I have enough RAM for that04:02
sarnoldwebchat31: dang. then try the eatmydata approach04:02
webchat31Will do right now.04:03
webchat31The stupid thing is tar is only using 1 core anyways04:03
webchat31I'm not sure if something like 7zip will decompress faster because of multicore04:03
sarnoldI'd honestly expect a plain tar to go at disk speeds04:04
sarnoldeven with just one core, that's all it has to do: read header off file; read that amount of data and write to disk. read header, read file, write file. read header, read file, write file. etc etc04:05
webchat31I see04:12
webchat31This might confirm my other suspicion that the process is actually limited by the upload speed of the saved instance, since I think the "output" folder actually uploads to some Google Cloud thing, which would explain the error message04:12
dqtjyI am still struggling to figure out why one particular domain fails DNS04:14
dqtjylookup on my machine. I don't know if it's because of a recent update or04:14
dqtjy what. `systemd-resolve --status` contains this line  `DNS Domain: ~.  `  and IDK if that's right04:14
webchat31sarnold: Any idea how to upload the files quicker (without having the throughput die due to there behind millions of files) while also not having to spend 10+ minutes on a GPU instance decompressing them every time I need to use the data?04:14
webchat31I think I might just try to split the dataset up into several extracted portions04:14
webchat31It'll be a pain but that's probably my only choice at this point04:14
sarnoldwebchat31: ooof, if you're unpacking to a directory that's actually just writing to a far away network filesystem, or fuse mount, or something, yeah, that could be pretty painful04:15
webchat31Yup04:15
sarnoldwebchat31: does the google cloud thing have a tar ingest mode or something? *maybe* there's an API tool you can use to feed it a gigantic blob of data in one go, to avoid doing millions of little things04:16
sarnoldwebchat31: at least I think I've seen various s3 APIs accept zip files. I think. That was ages ago, and amazon, but encouraging.. :)04:17
webchat31Actually I think if I find a file upload service with a size limit big enough I can use their dataset importing thing from a remote URL... Previously the dataset was only on GDrive and Mega which was incompatible with that service04:17
webchat31I'll try zipping it and uploading it somewhere04:18
sarnoldmaybe stuff it right into an s3 bucket?04:18
sarnoldtime for me to run, have a good night, day, etc :)04:19
webchat31Thanks for all the help, you too!04:19
webchat31These guys claim a 50gb upload limit https://jirafeau.kennesaw.edu/04:19
webchat31Time to put that to the test O:304:19
sarnoldhah, my guess.. not gonna go well :)04:19
sarnoldhave fun :)04:20
webchat31tyvm! you too04:20

jorgeGood night! I am trying to compile the latest linux kernel in Ubuntu 21.10 and I an get an error message when I try the command "make menu config".The output is:05:02
jorgeHOSTLD  scripts/kconfig/mconf05:02
genii-core!mainline05:02
ubottuThe kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds05:02
dqtjyI removed the symlink at /etc/resolv.conf (it was replaced by Network Manager), disabled and stopped systemd-resolved, and added `dns=default`to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, and then rebooted, and I one website still resolves to 0.0.0.0.  I have no idea why05:20
klausfiendpersonally (and i'm not recommending this necessarily) but i loathe all of those "smart" automatic DNS configurators; we just stood up anycast and use a resolv.conf that's controlled by config management05:40
dqtjyI don't know enough about it to have an opinion, but the feedback/general sentiment for systemd-resolved has been overwhelmingly negative.  In any case, I've disabled it and I'm still experiencing a dns failure for one specific domain.05:48
dqtjyIRC has always been my last resort so I'm at a loss05:49
klausfiendthe fight to manage DNS resolver behavior on Linux is an especially crowded field. you have the traditional way — add static entries to /etc/resolv.conf and call it a day — but you also have resolvconf, NetworkManager, systemd, and DHCP clients all competing to deliver an incredibly basic configurable. if you're not worried about internal domains, i would just point things at 1.1.1.1 or 4.2.2.2 or 8.8.8.8 or another similar public 05:52
klausfiendS service and call it a day.05:52
dqtjyonce I disabled resolved and removed the symlink at /etc/resolv.conf, it looks like Network Manager placed one there automatically. It contains `search home` as the first line. Should I remove that?05:55
dqtjywelp, tried that and restarted network manager, nothing05:56
dqtjynvm restarting network manager overwrote that change 🤦05:57
klausfiendyeah, welcome to wrestling all the stupid crap that modifies your resolver config06:04
dqtjybut I don't get it, there's nothing in the resolver conf, just "search home \n nameserver $ROUTERIP "06:06
dqtjythe only thing that has been succesful is using dig w/ a public nameserver to get an IP addr, and putting that into /etc/hosts manually06:06
dqtjybut that's so dumb06:06
DarkTrick**Q** @ ubuntu-bug: Is there an automated way to change the username for the files being uploaded?06:22
chilukuploaded via what ? apport-bug? ubuntu-bug?06:28
chilukignore me...06:28
chiluk@DarkTrick... probably not a quick way..  You could grep/sed... and submit manually I guess06:29
DarkTrickchiluk, ubuntu-bug06:30
DarkTrickchiluk, thank you!06:30
chilukI'm surprised your username is being captured at all06:30
DarkTrickit's inside the logs06:30
chilukyeah... that was the only way it would be getting captured.06:31
DarkTrick(I'd say this is actually a privacy problem...)06:31
chilukmaybe... but if you are logged in to launchpad to submit the bug.... people already know it was you who submitted it.06:31
DarkTrickchiluk, sure, but only if you launchpad name is your full name06:32
DarkTrickchances of having a full-name user name on your PC is higher, I gues06:32
DarkTricks06:32
chiluktrue.06:33
alkisgdqtjy: if it's just one domain that's wrong, then it's possible that the problem is in the dns server you're using, not in your resolver. Did you try dig with the nameserver you're using?06:51
dqtjythe name server specified on my machine is the router's IP.06:53
dqtjyomg wow06:53
dqtjyOK, so on the command line  I was using 1.1.1.1, which works successfully, but I just realized the router DNS is set to 1.1.1.3/1.0.0.3, which filters for malware/pr0n etc06:54
dqtjybut I just retried using 1.1.1.3 on the command line... and no, it doesn't work.06:54
dqtjyThis... makes no sense06:54
dqtjyThen why does it work for other devices?06:54
dqtjyThe DNS server on both my phone and router is set to 1.1.1.3/1.0.0.3, yet my phone browses that domain just fine.06:55
alkisgIt may have a fallback mechanism to search e.g. google's dns when the primary one fails, dunno06:56
alkisgYou'd need to do some packet capturing to be sure06:56
dqtjythis is driving me nuts06:56
dqtjyI think you might be right alkisg07:00
dqtjyI've been testing with some other domains and I think that's happening. Somehow my phone is just using another name server if 1.1.1.3 doesn't work07:01
dqtjyI'm so confused, ugh, then why even have the ability to set a ns if it won't even stick to it07:02
alkisgThat's an android issue though, not an ubuntu issue ;)07:02
dqtjy* dqtjy has joined #android07:03

BluesKajHi folks13:20
POQDavidHi i been trying to mount a nfs storage for backup and when i transfer large files it hangs and stops responding i managed to get it a bit better by lowering rsize and wsize by half the default size but still doesnt look stable how i can fix the problem with my mount13:24
Thomas25grub seems very slow, like 500ms latency13:25
Thomas25when i look at the EFI partition from other systems, it seems different. Grub files seems to be not populated. Is that normal?13:26
EriC^^Thomas25: basically just shimx64.efi and grub.cfg13:26
Thomas25when i look from other OSes, that's what i see13:26
Thomas25i.e. i wanted to edit grub config from another os13:27
EriC^^Thomas25: if you mean the menu, it's actually in /boot/grub/grub.cfg , that grub.cfg in the efi partiiton is just to point to the rootfs and set $prefix to find the menu13:28
Thomas25so the extremely minimal grub mounts the actual root and reads the config from there13:28
EriC^^Thomas25: you're not supposed to edit it by hand though as changes will go, you want to edit /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d/40_custom and run update-grub13:28
EriC^^yeah13:29
EriC^^it sets prefix and finds the modules and whatnot, otherwise you land in grub rescue>13:29
Thomas25i had win11 + mac installed on this, booting via clover bootloader.13:29
Thomas25after installing ubuntu that's gone. the system won't even boot unless i specificall select ubuntu efi from BIOS boot selector13:30
Thomas25then in the grub edit, i can point to the efi of either win11 directly and it boots13:30
EriC^^probably it used some efi file, is there nothing in the efi partition anymore?13:30
Thomas25or load clover, a second bootloader, and then i can boot mac13:30
Thomas25EriC^^ no they are all there13:31
EriC^^oh ok13:31
EriC^^so you want clover as the default efi loaded13:31
Thomas25everything is there, it's just bios can't pick one and it can't boot13:31
Thomas25EriC^^ actually yeah13:31
EriC^^Thomas25: sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 999913:31
EriC^^it should still be in the list, all you have to do is change the bootorder13:31
Thomas25https://termbin.com/fzxy13:32
EriC^^seems gone13:33
Thomas25no it's there13:33
EriC^^try "sudo ls -lR /boot/efi | nc termbin.com 9999"13:33
Thomas25i've booted it :)13:33
EriC^^i mean in the list13:33
Thomas25https://termbin.com/fpb313:34
Thomas25so now, by default bios tries to load /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi13:35
EriC^^ok, last command "df -h /boot/efi"13:35
Thomas25it was working fine from what i've understand and it was loading clover before13:35
Thomas25but now it's confused13:35
EriC^^just get the device name e.g /dev/sda1 or whatever13:35
EriC^^Thomas25: no worries13:35
Thomas25nvme1n1p113:35
Thomas25this is the ssd where my actual EFI lives. (ubuntu is in nvme0)13:36
EriC^^sudo efibootmgr -c -w -l \\EFI\\CLOVER\\CLOVERX64.efi -L "Clover" -p 1 -d /dev/nvme1n113:36
EriC^^that should add it to the uefi list13:37
EriC^^try "sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999" to confirm13:37
Thomas25albeit typo https://termbin.com/26mo13:38
EriC^^that typo wont fly :D13:39
Thomas25yeah i just noticed the critical typo13:39
Thomas25:)13:39
EriC^^sudo efibootmgr -B -b 0000   to delete13:39
Thomas25cannot efit/13:39
Thomas25edit?13:39
EriC^^nope13:39
Thomas25holy sh1t, that's insane, why? :)13:40
EriC^^probably the way uefi firmware thingie is13:40
POQDavidis rsize=32768,wsize=32768 too low ?13:40
EriC^^would be nice to edit though13:41
Thomas25hmm now it looks missing in the efibootmgr -v13:41
Thomas25i wanted to verify the number13:41
EriC^^great, rerun the -c command to add it back13:41
Thomas25looks good i think https://termbin.com/y0sx13:42
EriC^^yup looks good13:43
Thomas25shit didn't boot again13:43
Thomas25let's see if the entry is still there13:43
Thomas25when i just let it try to boot, it resets.13:44
Thomas25i have to get into the boot mgr of bios to boot ubuntu13:44
Thomas25clover is gone from the list again13:44
Thomas25do we have to commit the changes somehow?13:44
EriC^^aha13:44
EriC^^i think you've switched the microsoft efi files so that it boots ubuntu instead?13:45
Thomas25i was switching MS boot files because otherwise clovre wouldn't boot13:45
Thomas25that was a trick i was doing before installing ubuntu13:45
EriC^^i see13:46
EriC^^ok, seems the file is gone now13:46
Thomas25maybe while we are at it we can just try to run win11 via KVM? (looking forward to trying that) hehe13:46
Thomas25what file?13:46
EriC^^try 'sudo cp /boot/efi/efi/clover/cloverx64.efi /boot/efi/efi/microsoft/boot/bootmgfw.efi'13:46
EriC^^bootmgfw.efi , it's gon13:46
EriC^^*gone13:46
Thomas25i `mv` it to bootmg something .original13:46
Thomas25i can boot it manually via grub, i tried it13:46
EriC^^yeah13:47
Thomas25but note that efibootmgr does not list clover again!13:47
EriC^^is this an hp laptop?13:47
Thomas25is that normal?13:47
Thomas25nope, it's a desktop13:47
EriC^^ok13:47
Thomas25but i must note that i cannot enter the BIOS screen right now, don't know why. it seems frozen just a black screen13:47
EriC^^why not replace bootmgfw.efi with the clover one so it boots13:47
Thomas25luckily i can get into boot manager via F813:47
Thomas25we could but isn't it kinda weird? i don't know how EFI firmware runs these13:48
Thomas25but moving it to another folder and all of its config in another folder13:48
EriC^^you were doing it before though no?13:48
Thomas25nope13:48
Thomas25i was just making windows not bootable13:48
Thomas25so bios would load clover13:48
Thomas25and from there i can chose win or mac13:49
EriC^^oh13:49
EriC^^and how does grub find windows13:49
EriC^^you added a custom entry?13:49
Thomas25nope13:49
Thomas25it found and added it when installing i think13:49
Thomas25not sure13:49
EriC^^cause its used to looking for bootmgfw.efi13:49
Thomas25yeah probably13:49
EriC^^what i'd do is replace stuff as they were13:50
Thomas25so what do you think about clover efi entry is going missing?13:50
Thomas25as they were? i.e. remove grub from efi?13:50
EriC^^on my laptop, it also wont boot ubuntu, before i used to switch the files bootmgfw.efi and change grub to look for a different filename13:50
EriC^^but later i found if you disable the entry via bootmgfw.efi it'll boot ubuntu no problem13:50
Thomas25via efibootmgr you mean?13:51
EriC^^yes, sorry13:51
EriC^^this is what mine looks like, https://termbin.com/dcsf13:51
EriC^^if there's no * next to Bootxxxx it means its disabled13:51
EriC^^works like a charm on this laptop, might work for you too13:51
Thomas25ok13:51
EriC^^if i ever need to remove ubuntu, just re-enable the entry, and everything else is stock13:52
Thomas25yeah i could use that for removing windows update problem13:52
Thomas25but i don't know why it didn't boot when we made that change13:52
Thomas25because it looked lefit13:52
Thomas25legit*13:52
=== thegodsquirrel is now known as theSantasquirrel
EriC^^yeah kinda odd it removed the entry, maybe you have to 'trust' the file manually from the bios or something?13:52
Thomas25so efibootmgr communicates with BIOS to tell commands to EFI for boot entries? it is not on hard drives whatsoever right?13:53
hanswhy doesn't p7zip-full include p7zip-rar ?13:53
EriC^^acer's have that, have to set a bios pass, then you can trust efi files13:53
EriC^^Thomas25: exactly, the uefi list is saved on the nvram in the motherboard13:53
Thomas25i doubt because this was an efi that i was using as my primary boot from that very same location13:53
Thomas25feels like there's something wrong with my bios then13:54
Thomas25entries going missing13:54
Thomas25+ i cannot enter bios screen13:54
EriC^^yeah i dont get why it removed it, and ubuntu is there13:54
EriC^^i'd switch the windows file with clover one then13:54
EriC^^and you can edit grub to look for the new windows file that you name, it wont matter for anything else itll work as usual13:55
EriC^^Thomas25: 'sudo cp /boot/efi/efi/clover/cloverx64.efi /boot/efi/efi/microsoft/boot/bootmgfw.efi'13:56
Thomas25i believe that'd work13:56
EriC^^yeah13:56
Thomas25but not pretty!13:56
EriC^^gotta do what you gotta do :D13:56
Thomas25haha13:57
Thomas25it did work13:58
Thomas25i'm surprised clover didn't find ubuntu automatically though13:58
Thomas25not a big problem with the primer you've given i think i'll figure the exact setup that i want13:58

LarsErikPHi! Question about the netboot-kernel of the focal legacy-installer.. The kernel was last updated 01.02.21; will that ever be updated again? I would really like a kernel that includes this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/189395614:37
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1893956 in linux (Ubuntu Focal) "Intel x710 LOMs do not work on Focal" [Medium, Fix Released]14:37
hansLarsErikP: hmm that's a though one, i remember having a similar issue with Debian netinst, and someone on ##debian-next showed me an easy-ish way to build the netinst from source with newest kernel, unfortunately i don't remember how it was done, but it actually wasn't difficult with the guidance of someone who knew how to do it..14:41
hansLarsErikP: anyway, last time i faced an issue like that, i ended up building the netinst from source (but it was debian, not ubuntu)14:43
LarsErikPhans: would have been really helpful :P14:43
hansLarsErikP: have you tried booting the ubuntu installer from netboot.xyz ? it might boot a newer kernel than the legacy isos, https://netboot.xyz/14:44
LarsErikPoh14:45
hans(it doesn't use the isos at all)14:45
LarsErikPworth a try!14:45
hansand it ask you if you want the legacy installer or the .. modern one, at least for 20.0414:45
LarsErikPhans: do they publish they actual kernel files?14:46
hansnetboot.xyz ? well it list the url to the kernel it loads, right before loading it14:46
hansLarsErikP: btw netboot.xyz currently has a bug with DHCP, if your network doesn't auto-configure DHCP, you'll have to use a bunch of kernel parameters to boot the ubuntu installer (but almost all wifi's have DHCP enabled :P )14:51
LarsErikPhmm.. i kind of just wanted to grap the kernel and initrd.gz for focal..14:52

EldonMcGuinnessI tried to setup a vm, using the 20.04 Ubuntu server image as a backing file and can get a server up.

EldonMcGuinnessWell, I figured out how to just create a fullbackup of a VM, that will do for now, but would rather get a better handle on the snapshot bit as I'm sure it is something stupid I'm not getting heh21:00
EldonMcGuinnessfullback while live that is21:00
EldonMcGuinnessWhat I have gotten working is, instead of using a disk with the ubuntu cloudimg as a backer, just copy and resize the ubuntu cloudimg and use it directly.21:03
EldonMcGuinnessThis results in the blockcommit working the way I would think it would, however, can't seem to get how to squash snapshots together. Perhaps I'm just misunderstanding the idea and what it can do21:04
jhutchinsEldonMcGuinness: As I understand snapshots, they are cumulative, so merging them really isn't a valid concept.21:05
EldonMcGuinnessI was thinking of them like git commits, one could squash them into a single commit, as long as they are temporally ordered.21:07
EldonMcGuinnessok cool, thanks for the info.21:07
EldonMcGuinnessnow just have to figure out if I can use a single backing file for many vms without commits changing the basefile21:08
EldonMcGuinnessAt least I got the back working! *small victories*21:08
sarnoldI think qcow2 allows you to have multiple layers of backing files in case you really want to get creative21:10
EldonMcGuinness@sarnold: yep it sure does. What I was hoping I could do would be to make successive snapshots as I'm making changes and if I like the end result squash all of said changes into a single snapshot.21:16
EldonMcGuinnessI mean there's nothing mission critical I just hated seeing a bunch of snapshots, though I guess I could just delete the previous ones.21:17
sarnoldEldonMcGuinness: yeah afaik you can have multiple snapshots, but squashing them together wouldn't necessarily make sense21:18
EldonMcGuinnessYeah I think that's the issue is just my brain isn't quite grabbing it yet21:18
EldonMcGuinnessAgain I think I'm comparing it to commits on GitHub when this is a different beast altogether21:18
EldonMcGuinnessQuestion, let's assume I make four changes and four subsequent snapshots after each change. If I go back and delete the second snapshot, what I still be able to revert to the first or the third?21:20
sarnoldEldonMcGuinness: that's a good question. I sure hope so, otherwise it wouldn't feel super useful to me.21:24

sarnoldI'm not actually sure if you can get there from 20.04 though, since 20.10's been retired21:31
ryaThanks -- if I manage to get it working (instead of the more likely scenario of having broken audio for some period of time), I'll report back on it.21:35
mwhudsonyou definitely _can_ update from 20.04 to 21.10 directly (*cough*) but it's not supported in the same way21:35
sarnoldmwhudson: oh? I figured do-release-upgrade on its own would fail getting to 20.10, and do-release-upgrade -d would jump to jammy directly (probably a bad idea right now)21:38
mwhudsonsarnold: hmm i managed to do it somehow or other21:38
tomreynquoting /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades: #  normal - Check to see if a new release is available.  If more than one new release is found, the release upgrader will attempt to upgrade to the supported release that immediately succeeds the currently-running release21:40

tomreynso next *supported* release that is available after 20.04 (if Prompt=normal) would be 21.04 / hirsute. then you'd need to do to impish (and then, optionally, to jammy(21:44

sinhueHello. I want to upgrade ubuntu 14 to ubuntu 16 and still keep PHP version 5.6. How would I go about this? It always upgrades my php to 722:08
jeremy31sinhue: Ubuntu 14 and 16 are both EOL/unsupported except for ESM22:09
sinhuejeremy31, I know this.22:10
sinhueIf it were any other version, is this possible? to somehow exclude some package from being updated?22:10
sarnoldthe upgrade will fail22:11
jeremy31sinhue: apt mark hold PACKAGE22:11
sarnoldI'm not sure if you're better off running an ancient unsupported system as a whole, because that's nice and obvious to everyone; or if you'd be better served to upgrade the system, uninstall php, build the old one from sources yourself, and run that -- that way at least it confines the "old and busted" to php..22:12
jeremy31I am sure Synaptic Package Manager can force a version of a package, but it will cause issues if something else requires the newer version22:12
sarnold.. but it won't be obvious to everyone at your business that you're running unsupported software, so that's not fantastic22:12
ryasinhue, can you run php from a container?22:12
EldonMcGuinnesssarnold: okay just tried it out, it looks like each snapshot is relative to the current base, even though if you do list the snapshots there is a switch called tree which shows them as being children of each other, so I'm not sure what the deal is with that.22:14
EldonMcGuinnessJust for clarification I created four snapshots each time going in and creating a file. Deleted the third snapshot reverted to the fourth snapshot and it still contained the contents that would have been in the third snapshot.22:14
EldonMcGuinnessSo it looks like these are not incremental snapshots in the normal sense, instead they are incremental from a common base image22:15
