[04:39] <luna> morning
[06:03] <chiefkief> just curious what do you guys use for storage? ive heard good things about synology, but curious about any others
[06:07] <lotuspsychje> chiefkief: storage is a wide concept, maybe elaborate what kind of ubuntu server storage you need and whats it gonna be used for?
[06:08] <chiefkief> I would just like a file backup, and a way to download books on my tablet from my server
[19:13] <sergiodj> ahasenack_: curl reuploaded, FWIW
[19:13] <sergiodj> if you can take a look at it tomorrow, it'd be great
[19:14] <ahasenack_> ok
[22:11] <gimzmoe> I have a PXE cluster that I boot from a nfsroot, however I think I get into trouble where the kernel version doesn't match the updated version.  apt upgrade recommend "apt --fix-broken install" but that fails trying to remove old linux-image-generic version "dpkg: too many errors, stopping"... I imagine I'm doing something naughty with the updating but I'm not sure
[22:14] <tomreyn> "dpkg: too many errors, stopping" is a pretty clear indicator of something naughty going on, yes
[22:15] <tomreyn> you can't wildly mix kernels versions / builds and ubuntu releases, in case that's something you're doing
[22:18] <gimzmoe> I run several pxe-nodes, but they get their kernel from the tftp... I don't syncronize updates... but maybe I must?
[22:21] <gimzmoe> any idea how I can correct the current problem>
[22:22] <tomreyn> which kernel are you booting (cat /proc/version), which ubuntu version is installed?
[22:23] <tomreyn> "lsb_release -ds" for the latter
[22:25] <gimzmoe> /proc/version  = 5.15.0-70-generic, Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
[22:27] <tomreyn> this doesn't seem entirely wrong, if the kernel is an ubuntu one.
[22:28] <gimzmoe> dpkg: linux-image-5.15.0-58-generic: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested:
[22:28] <gimzmoe> the nfsroot has a very old one it's trying to ditch
[22:28] <tomreyn> maybe apt is failing to remove the linux-image-generic package because it is not actually installed, or not fully? if so, install it first of all.
[22:29] <gimzmoe> I don't think it is
[22:31] <tomreyn> if you can't install the old version, there are --force-... options to dpkg. but you should prevent running into this situation in the first place.
[22:32] <gimzmoe> installing linux-image-5.15.0-58-generic works, but apt wants to install linux-image-unsigned-5.15.0-58-generic
[22:34] <gimzmoe> oh oops... /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub :)
[22:36] <gimzmoe> well that must have been unrelated... :(
[22:39] <tomreyn> in case you'll need more assistence with this, it will be tremendously helpful to provide more shell commands and output
[22:39] <tomreyn> personally, i won't be able to help more for now, though (bed time soon)
[22:40] <gimzmoe> you did a bunch, I think I'm on track to fix it
[22:40] <gimzmoe> g'nite and thanks again
[22:40] <tomreyn> you're welcome
