zetherooI have a raid5 which is 'inactive' after a hard reboot and I can't seem to get it 'active'. I noticed that one of the 6 disks  (the 'spare') has the status 'rebuilding': 09:24
zetheroo       -       8       80        5      spare rebuilding   /dev/sdf09:24
zetherooIs this why the array can't be brought up?09:24
zetherooIf I try to assemble the array I am told that all the disks are 'busy' -> https://pastebin.com/5mnt55mq09:35

J_DarnleyIs there an option in the server installer to use UTC?11:41
J_DarnleyI cannot see it.  If I choose a country with several timezones (like the US) I can only choose one of those TZs.11:43
murmelJ_Darnley: if it's available it should be Etc/UTC11:43
J_DarnleyWhere is "etc" though?11:43
murmelJ_Darnley: idk, with server, I just 'sudo timedatectl set-timezone Etc/UTC'11:46
J_DarnleySo only after installation?11:46
murmelafaik there is no setting in subiquity11:47
J_DarnleyWhat?  Is that the name os the installer program?11:48
murmelJ_Darnley: yes, and btw, I just verified. it's UTC by default (good to know I guess)11:48
J_DarnleySo I need to skip the TZ step11:49
J_Darnleylets see if I can do that11:49
murmelJ_Darnley: oO which iso are you using?11:50
murmelJ_Darnley: as the server iso doesn't ask about TZ11:54
J_Darnleymurmel: ubuntu-18.04-server-amd64.iso12:17
J_DarnleyI need to check something when a new kernel is installed in updates12:17
J_DarnleySo I figured that would be the easiest place to start12:17
murmelJ_Darnley: ahh, that would be good to know beforehand. there should be a ETC/UTC ;) as it still uses d-i12:18
J_Darnleyright, sorry12:18
J_DarnleyAfter creating the username and password I am presented with the option to choose TZ.12:28
murmelJ_Darnley: nice12:29
J_DarnleySince I chose my region as US at the start I get Eastern Central, etc12:29
J_DarnleyIt says if my desired one isn't there I should go back to the choose language step12:29
J_DarnleyDo you know what I should choose there to find utc?12:30
murmelJ_Darnley: eh, just edit it via timedatectl12:30
murmeli tested debian, and during install it offers me my tz and UTC by default, later I guess you can just edit it with that command12:31
znfwhoever designed that idiotic subiquity must be slapped into hell 17:31
znfwho asks for subnet in a CIDR format and then Address when configuring manually17:31
znfwtf backwards ass-logic is that?17:31
hggdhperhaps a bug report would be more helpful? But please be more polite17:32
znfand why the hell does it ask for a user to be created once you select a minimized install where it literally says "where humans aren't expected to log in"17:34
znfand hostname in the same screen, jesus christ17:35
J_DarnleyI forgot to say I "solved" my problem by just selecting any TZ then entering a shell from the installer, chroot, and doing "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata"18:07
J_DarnleyThen I can choose UTC from the text menu there18:07
richdhi, I have an ubuntu server (20.04) with 4 nics, all with static ips.  I have a netplan config that works, but after "netplan try", "netplan generate", and "netplan apply" report no errors, and happily bring up all interfaces correctly, a few seconds will tick by, and 3 of the 4 interfaces get an ip of 169.254.x.y, despite DHCP being specifically set to off.  Does anyone know how to make the netplan 18:08
richdsettings stick for more than 5 seconds?18:08
richdalso, NetworkManager is, and never was, installed18:09
richdsorry, "is NOT, and never was"18:10
znfwould be helpful to see the actual netplan 18:19
sdezielrichd: you can probably disable this auto-assigned IPv4 behavior with the "link-local" param (see https://netplan.io/reference and search for "link-local")18:39
richdsdeziel: that did it.  Many thanks!19:36
