[09:24] <zetheroo> I 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/sdf
[09:24] <zetheroo> Is this why the array can't be brought up?
[09:35] <zetheroo> If I try to assemble the array I am told that all the disks are 'busy' -> https://pastebin.com/5mnt55mq

[11:41] <J_Darnley> Is there an option in the server installer to use UTC?
[11:43] <J_Darnley> I cannot see it.  If I choose a country with several timezones (like the US) I can only choose one of those TZs.
[11:43] <murmel> J_Darnley: if it's available it should be Etc/UTC
[11:43] <J_Darnley> Where is "etc" though?
[11:46] <murmel> J_Darnley: idk, with server, I just 'sudo timedatectl set-timezone Etc/UTC'
[11:46] <J_Darnley> So only after installation?
[11:47] <murmel> afaik there is no setting in subiquity
[11:48] <J_Darnley> What?  Is that the name os the installer program?
[11:48] <murmel> J_Darnley: yes, and btw, I just verified. it's UTC by default (good to know I guess)
[11:49] <J_Darnley> So I need to skip the TZ step
[11:49] <J_Darnley> lets see if I can do that
[11:50] <murmel> J_Darnley: oO which iso are you using?
[11:54] <murmel> J_Darnley: as the server iso doesn't ask about TZ
[12:17] <J_Darnley> murmel: ubuntu-18.04-server-amd64.iso
[12:17] <J_Darnley> I need to check something when a new kernel is installed in updates
[12:17] <J_Darnley> So I figured that would be the easiest place to start
[12:18] <murmel> J_Darnley: ahh, that would be good to know beforehand. there should be a ETC/UTC ;) as it still uses d-i
[12:18] <J_Darnley> right, sorry
[12:28] <J_Darnley> After creating the username and password I am presented with the option to choose TZ.
[12:29] <murmel> J_Darnley: nice
[12:29] <J_Darnley> Since I chose my region as US at the start I get Eastern Central, etc
[12:29] <J_Darnley> It says if my desired one isn't there I should go back to the choose language step
[12:30] <J_Darnley> Do you know what I should choose there to find utc?
[12:30] <murmel> J_Darnley: eh, just edit it via timedatectl
[12:31] <murmel> i tested debian, and during install it offers me my tz and UTC by default, later I guess you can just edit it with that command
[17:31] <znf> whoever designed that idiotic subiquity must be slapped into hell 
[17:31] <znf> who asks for subnet in a CIDR format and then Address when configuring manually
[17:31] <znf> wtf backwards ass-logic is that?
[17:32] <hggdh> perhaps a bug report would be more helpful? But please be more polite
[17:34] <znf> and 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"
[17:35] <znf> and hostname in the same screen, jesus christ
[18:07] <J_Darnley> I 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_Darnley> Then I can choose UTC from the text menu there
[18:08] <richd> hi, 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] <richd> settings stick for more than 5 seconds?
[18:09] <richd> also, NetworkManager is, and never was, installed
[18:10] <richd> sorry, "is NOT, and never was"
[18:19] <znf> would be helpful to see the actual netplan 
[18:39] <sdeziel> richd: you can probably disable this auto-assigned IPv4 behavior with the "link-local" param (see https://netplan.io/reference and search for "link-local")
[19:36] <richd> sdeziel: that did it.  Many thanks!
