| rwp | When you get back from vacation I will try that and will also talk with you about mirror updating and checking. | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| rwp | The problems appear infrequently and unpredictably. I'll try to capture a reproducible case. | 00:02 |
| onefang | For checking I wrote apt-panopticon, which is running on five servers - https://sledjhamr.org/apt-panopticon/results/Report-web.html https://borta.devuan.dev/apt-panopticon/results/Report-web.html http://veritas.devuan.org/apt-panopticon/results/Report-web.html https://ap.in.devuan.org/apt-panopticon/results/Report-web.html https://mishka.snork.ca/apt-panopticon/results/Report-web.html | 00:02 |
| rwp | In the meantime enjoy your time off and don't burn out! Everyone really does appreciate the work you are doing to keep things going. | 00:03 |
| onefang | Link to the source code is at the bottom of the reports. | 00:03 |
| onefang | I've burnt out last century, I know how to avoid it now. First thing to do is avoid anything Microsoft. lol | 00:04 |
| rwp | Honestly when I look at the apt-panopticon results my eyes glaze over because there is so much detail. I need to learn how to read it. (But not today. [:smile:]) | 00:06 |
| mcr | apt-cacher-ng isn't the best, it's true, but even with fast internet, 10G across the lab is always faster when updating a dozen machines... | 00:27 |
| adhoc | i recently setup a nexus repository mirror for my internal stuff | 00:37 |
| adhoc | setup for proxying the external repo | 00:37 |
| adhoc | if for any reason it is significantly faster than using external mirrors due to fewer DNS queries | 00:38 |
| gnstaxo | I don't have the usermod command | 17:04 |
| gnstaxo | Or I can't find it in sbin | 17:05 |
| gnstaxo | nvm, found it | 17:06 |
| gnarface | it's probably just that /sbin and /usr/sbin aren't in root's path by default anymore | 17:07 |
| gnarface | you can put it back how it belongs by altering the ENV_SUPATH variable in /etc/login.defs | 17:07 |
| gnstaxo | I will do that | 17:08 |
| gnstaxo | It's being annoying | 17:08 |
| gnarface | vandalism from upstream | 17:08 |
| gnarface | though unrelated, it's worth noting that there's probably a invocation of one of the preferred tools "adduser" or "addgroup" which also does what you want | 17:10 |
| gnstaxo | /sbin is in SUPATH but for some reason I still don't have the commands available when I login with su | 17:10 |
| gnarface | you probably have to log all the way out and if you're using a graphical login manager, restart it | 17:11 |
| gnstaxo | gnarface: I want to change a user's home directory | 17:12 |
| gnstaxo | I want to save transmission's downloads at /home | 17:12 |
| gnstaxo | Because currently it is storing them at /var and my root partition is only 32G | 17:13 |
| gnarface | oh, i dunno for sure what invocation of adduser that'd be, maybe usermod is the only way to do it; usually i just do that change by hand | 17:13 |
| gnstaxo | how, by editing /etc/passwd? | 17:14 |
| gnarface | yea | 17:14 |
| gnarface | if you're creating a new directory don't forget to chmod and chown it too | 17:15 |
| gnarface | i'm sure usermod is fine for this but i'm pretty sure you'll still have to deal with the directory itself manually | 17:16 |
| Xenguy | Remember when logging in a root to use: su - | 17:31 |
| Xenguy | s/a/as | 17:31 |
| joerg | usermod --move-home ;#: Move the content of the user's home directory to the new location. This option is only valid in combination with the -d (or --home) option. | 18:45 |
| joerg | and --home HOME_DIR ;#: The user's new login directory. If the -m option is given, the contents of the current home directory will be moved to the new home directory, which is created if it does not already exist. | 18:50 |
| rwp | PSA: Always use "su -" and never use a plain "su". "su -" GOOD but "su" means later trouble with HOME and PATH therefore "su" BAD. | 20:49 |
| gnstaxo | joerg: I should've know, thanks | 22:49 |
| gnstaxo | s/ow/own | 22:50 |
| joerg | yw | 22:50 |
