mybalzitchboy 24.04 server sure acts weird. I'm installing some stuff via apt and its multiple minute timeouts on things like ipp-usb.service is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it.00:05

mjt0ka package in main can't recommend a package in universe, right? how about suggesting it?04:14
mjt0kahasenack: heck, that was.. hackish (/me looking at dbbefcf538bfd3d) :)05:37
mjt0kahasenack: at this point I think it's better to split them by driver, each driver in its own package, - the way how eg redhat does it..  Or just drop gluster entirely :)05:38
mjt0kahasenack: if I knew about that stuff, I'd definitely import the changes and used them as a base for further refinements in that area, it's easier to do that in debian than when importing into ubuntu05:44
mjt0kahasenack: I suggest we merge some things to debian to have some syncronisation point, so to say - for both samba and qemu, - and work from there.  I wont make package-rearrangement changes for now.  Next I suggest creating separate -gluster packages and maybe -ceph too (dunno what's up with that one in ubuntu)06:36
fricklerceph in noble is in a bad state because they decided to use a development version from git in order not to lag behind later, but since then they're fighting with the build chain being broken07:26
mjt0kceph is also 64bit-only these days. Ok.07:47

sebbohHello.  Over at work I've got a Ubuntu Server 24.04.  It's connected to our Windows domain..  I am going to set up a cronjob to copy a file from a SMB server.  Years ago, I might have used `smbclient`..  What should I use today?  I can only access the share using a domain user.  (I can probably get away with storing the password on disk if need be, it's an application account..)15:58
sebbohI think there is some `smbmount` or `mount.smb` or something, too?  But that may be overkill16:00
rfmsebboh, smbclient still exists, plus mount.cifs.  I think there's a way of putting the credentials in a file readable only by root and naming that in the mount options, but I haven't looked at it for a long time    16:09
sebbohok, thank you!16:21
rfmsebboh, if you're still here, it occured to me how I'd probably do it:  put the mount in /etc/fstab and include the "x-systemd.automount'  option to have systemd mount the file system when it's used, and optionally the x-systemd.idle-timeout to have it unmounted after the cronjob finishes.19:55
rfmsebboh, or you could handcraft a mount unit instead of using fstab and systemd-fstab-generator, but I like having all the mount specifications in one file19:56
sdezielsebboh: for a `cifs` mount, you can indeed put the credentials in a root-only file and the use `credentials=/etc/samba/user-creds.secrets` or similar in your `/etc/fstab` options19:58
rfmI thought it was something like that, thanks for checking19:59
sebbohah, thank you both!20:42
