[03:57] <blahdeblah> Hoping someone can point me at the right keywords to search on...  I've got an Ubuntu server AWS AMI being built by packer and it works fine, but when it is instantiated into an instance, it comes up with grub-efi-amd64-signed unconfigured because the device id of the boot volume is (obviously) different.
[03:58] <blahdeblah> What this means is that it expects interactive fixing by selecting a new boot device on which to install grub.
[03:58] <blahdeblah> If I just use 'DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive dpkg --configure --force-confdef grub-efi-amd64-signed' it uses the old value, which is wrong.
[03:59] <blahdeblah> However, when I configure it interactively, it automagically works this out and suggests a new (correct) boot device.
[03:59] <blahdeblah> How can I configure it to use that new, correct boot device using the noninteractive frontend?
[04:10] <blahdeblah> Even purging and reinstalling grub-efi-amd64-signed and shim-signed doesn't seem to introduce correct behaviour from the start...
[04:13] <blahdeblah> Looking at the guts of /usr/lib/grub/grub-multi-install it seems like it should be able to work it out based on the mounted /boot/efi and go from there, but the script explicitly sets the debconf prompt to critical.
[04:13] <blahdeblah> I'm reluctant to butcher that script into a custom thing which just overrides all the prompts and tells it to just do it - that feels like an unmaintainable course.
[04:48] <blahdeblah> Best I've come up with so far is to work out the right device name myself and run: echo "grub-common grub-efi/install_devices select /dev/XXXX" | debconf-set-selections --verbose
[04:55] <blahdeblah> Seems to work: echo "grub-common grub-efi/install_devices select $(mount | awk '/boot.efi/ {print $1}')" | debconf-set-selections
[04:55] <blahdeblah> This feels very hacky to me.  Hope someone can suggest something more elegant.
[05:33] <blahdeblah> Hmmm, so it seems https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/modules.html#grub-dpkg is supposed to take care of this.
[05:42] <blahdeblah> Seems like maybe the packer build of this isn't clearing out the cloud-init state to allow it to rerun when a new instance starts?  I would have thought that would be the default, but perhaps the team who maintains them is using an out-of-date config.
[08:54] <Paddy_NI> Hello I am having trouble with an Ubuntu Server install on a mini pc.  I tried assigning it an IP inside "/etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml".  This system does report in "ip addr" that it has the ip address but I still cannot communicate with it.
[08:55] <Paddy_NI> I am wondering if this is because I installed "openresolv" because wg-quick comlained about its absense.  FYI wireguard is not essential here as I was just experimenting.
[08:56] <Paddy_NI> I install openresolv and rebooted. Wireguard seemed to be working perfectly. I then disabled it via "sudo systemctl disable<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and now no internet or lan IP.
[08:57] <Paddy_NI> Or rather have now uninstalled openresolv

[12:08] <luna__> actually did learn something from that
[15:05] <blackboxsw> blahdeblah: I think cloud-init would like a bug on the reproducer steps for that path and the included /var/log/cloud-init.log (or cloud-init collect-logs) as I'm not sure what steps are implied by " AWS AMI being built by packer and it works fine, but when it is instantiated into an instance, " and the end state of said instance. Generally when an instance is created from an AMI a new instance-id is provided by AWS.
[15:06] <blackboxsw> That new instance-id from AWS metadata service tells cloud-init to re-run all configuration which should have handled the setup of said instance.
[15:07] <blackboxsw> If, for some reason the instance-id wasn't changed on the newly created instance, cloud-init would remain completely inert on that final boot
[16:34] <esv> and is that a bug?
[16:57] <esv> hey folks, a customer is trying to install libaws-bin which depends on libasis2019, but they an error message saying it won't get installed, also it says: E: Broken packages
[16:58] <esv> could a install with --force work? any workarounds?
[17:04] <Odd_Bloke> esv: Which Ubuntu release?  And what's the full error message?
[17:31] <esv> it's 2 packages, so I'm going to paste the output for one.
[17:33] <esv> https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/8gkJzVzC29/
[18:20] <Odd_Bloke> esv: I thought the problem was installing libaws-bin?  (And, again, which Ubuntu release?)
[18:28] <esv> 20.04 get the same message for both pkgs
[18:42] <sarnold> hah does apt upgrade actually take arguments like that?
[18:50] <genii> sarnold: Nope


[06:38] <ara> good morning all!
[12:21] <davmor2> fader|away: when you get online can you check something in karmic ubuntu for me please install gwibber (which is still meant to be getting in for social by default) and check out what happens to the notification applet for me please.
[12:48] <fader> davmor2: gwibber shows up in the notification applet for me.  What am I looking for specifically?
[14:10] <davmor2> I get a long lit of names and right at the very bottom I get gwibber
[14:22] <davmor2> fader: I'll take a screenshot it happens after a while and not immediately and it might be down to me minimising gwibber into the applet too.
[14:25] <davmor2> fader: http://www.davmor2.co.uk/gwibber.png
[14:50] <fader> davmor2: Whoa, yeah, not seeing that
[14:52] <davmor2> fader: I got accounts for facebook and twitter and empathy open.  and that's it.  It can't be empathy I don't think cause it uses a completely separate backend tech.  So that just leaves gwibber or the notification applet
[14:53] <fader> davmor2: Do you recognize those contacts that are in the list?
[14:54] <davmor2> no not one
[14:54] <davmor2> fader: I'm wondering if it is the gwibber public tab
[14:55] <fader> davmor2: Weird.  I'll play with gwibber some this afternoon and see if I can reproduce it.
[14:56] <davmor2> I'm trying to find out if it is gwibber or the notification applet so I know where to file the bug I'm assuming it is gwibber
[15:01] <fader> The gwibber public tab is empty for me :/
[15:02] <davmor2> do you have a little yellow triangle at the bottom?
[15:03] <fader> Nope, just the window resize decoration
[15:04] <davmor2> I'm getting 400 errors and my public tab is now empty so I'm wondering if that is the cause
[15:04] <fader> It shows a 'last update' and everything
[15:04] <fader> Heh
[15:05] <davmor2> Now it's full again after a couple of refreshes
[15:08] <fader> Hmm.  The public tab is obstinately empty for me.  Is that a fairly recent addition?  I don't remember seeing it before.
[15:11] <davmor2> fader: I don't know I only got a twitter account the other day remember :)
[15:11] <fader> Heh
[16:09] <Yrogirg> Hello! I want to turn my ubuntu somehow to rolling release (just to have soft when it appears). So I want to know is there any dev version of ubuntu with repositories with newest software? How can I get it?
[16:14] <heno> Yrogirg: are you running karmic?
[16:15] <heno> http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha4
[16:18] <Yrogirg> no, I've been just seeking for it. Thank you. And when the karmic repoes will frozen, I guess I need to switch to next alpha for fresh soft? When it is going to happen?
[22:40] <maxernoult> Hi everybody !
[22:41] <mathben> hi :p!
[22:41] <maxernoult> Do you know how to connect to a remote session (XDMCP) from the login screen in karmic ?
[22:41] <mathben> i don't, sorry :s
[22:41] <maxernoult> Under Jaunty, I could do that ... with a scroll menu
[22:43] <maxernoult> Maybe all functionnalities haven't been implanted yet because it's still an alplha release :(
[22:44] <maxernoult> (Sorry for my bad english :) i'm a frenchman)
[22:47] <fader> maxernoult: You might want to ask in #ubuntu-fr
[22:47] <fader> maxernoult: (In French :) )
[22:47] <maxernoult> they don't know
[22:48] <fader> maxernoult: This channel is more for coordinating testing, so many times people are very quiet here
[22:48] <fader> maxernoult: :(  Maybe try #ubuntu+1
[22:48] <maxernoult> ok
[22:49] <maxernoult> I'm going to try now
[22:49] <maxernoult> thanks
[22:52] <mathben> i will ask some guy
[22:56] <mathben> sorry, we don't know :s
[22:57] <mathben> ha, c'est vrai, tu parles français :p
[22:57] <mathben> tu peux rejoindre le channel #ubuntu-qc si tu préfères
[22:57] <mathben> mais il plus de monde sur #ubuntu-fr
[22:57] <maxernoult> ok
[22:58] <maxernoult> i'll do that tomorrow
[22:58] <maxernoult> i have to sleep :)
[22:58] <maxernoult> bye
[22:58] <maxernoult> and thanks for your help
[22:58] <mathben> bien, j'ai une alternative : http://www.zolved.com/synapse/view_content/28158/Remote_Login_via_XDMCP_on_Ubuntu
[22:58] <mathben> si ça peut t'aider... mais bonne nuit alors!
[22:59] <maxernoult> de rien
