[00:20] <Andreios> I have two servers, 24.04, one in a vm, the other dedicated, on the vm one, I have problems copy paste text in a files I edit via vim, the text gets full of gaps, when I copy about 100 lines. I use zsh. sftp works. What could be the problem?
[05:30] <kenyon> Andreios: always :set paste and then :set nopaste when done pasting
[07:02] <Andreios> kenyon: I have the same /etc/vim/vomrc on both and slways use :set paste
[07:06] <Andreios> It it is always set to 'paste' by config.
[08:25] <PeGaSuS> heelo folks. I know it's not advisable, but what would be the best way to backup a remote server while it is running?
=== JanC is now known as Guest5624
[11:01] <tomreyn> PeGaSuS: it's perfectly fine and common to backup a remote server while it's running. that's if you're talking about backup as in copying reusable/restorable/re-importable data from it to another system, storing it there safely.
[11:01] <tomreyn> !backup
[11:01] <ubottu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup, !borg, and !cloning
[11:03] <tomreyn> nowadays, rsync, borg, restic are quite common for file system backups. you may need to combine this with dumping databases (beforehand, or seperately).

[13:47] <haroon> Hello I'm completely new to ldap. And am following this guide for ubuntu https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install-and-configure-ldap . I'm running into the issue, that the daemon asks for a ldap password, but the password I set during the installation popup doesnt seem to work. I also did a `dpkg-reconfigure slapd` I don't know if that resets the ldap password.
[13:47] <haroon> neither does ldapsearch -x -LLL -H ldap:/// -b dc=example,dc=com dn show any entries, but exits with `no such object(32)
[14:27] <mybalzitch> Restarting the system to load the new kernel will not be handled automatically, so you should consider rebooting. <=== to me this almost reads like we won't change the kernel. "You must restart the system for the kernel change to take effect" is a bit more straight forward and less wordy for me

[18:54] <sarnold> mybalzitch: wow that's clunky -- that's probably worth a bug report, package needrestart
[19:02] <tomreyn> and while at it, don't miss adding a marketing message pointing to livepatch, effectively increasing the size of the previous message.
[19:02]  * tomreyn hides
[19:04] <sarnold> excellent idea!
[19:04]  * sarnold promotes tomreyn to Product Manager
[19:06]  * tomreyn tries to hide better next time
[19:07]  * lotuspsychj3 you can run but you cant hide
[19:12] <rbasak> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/needrestart/+bug/2065863 might be relevant. WHere is that message coming from?
[19:12] -ubottu:#ubuntu-server- Launchpad bug 2065863 in needrestart (Ubuntu Noble) "needrestart causes kernel upgrade messages in motd" [Undecided, In Progress]
[19:13] <sarnold> i found that text string in needrestart, yeah
[19:14] <sarnold> nice bug, hopefully that'll reduce some of the confusion around kernel updates
[21:13] <PeGaSuS> so, my home server seems to enter on a "No route to host" if the router loses internet connection for some reason
[21:13] <PeGaSuS> any ideas?
[21:14] <kenyon> what's the problem?
[21:15] <PeGaSuS> if I try `curl ipinfo.io/ip` I get: curl: (7) Failed to connect to ipinfo.io port 80 after 1305 ms: No route to host
[21:15] <PeGaSuS> if I try `wget ipinfo.io/ip` I get: Connecting to ipinfo.io (ipinfo.io)|34.117.186.192|:80... failed: No route to host.
[21:16] <PeGaSuS> if I restart my home server, all works again until I lose internet connection
[21:17] <patdk-lap> I'm not sure what exactly you want, if your router losses internet, it will not work
[21:18] <kenyon> sounds like it's losing either its route or address if it needs a reboot
[21:27] <PeGaSuS> yeah. and I have no idea why
[21:30] <PeGaSuS> stupid question: how do i find what's the "route" IPv6 to put inside the netplan config?
[22:01] <kenyon> PeGaSuS: you don't. typically, the default route is automatically added when a router advertisement is received
[22:07] <PeGaSuS> but I can set it on netplan. but for now, I'll keep it as it is
[22:33] <kenyon> PeGaSuS: it's better to not set it, and let the router advertisement process work
