| <jkeyes0> hey bkingx | |
| <bkingx> Yo!! | |
| <bkingx> Howdy jkeyes0 | |
| <jkeyes0> btw, bkingx, http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11123986&whse=BC&topnav=&browse=&s=1 | |
| <bkingx> SWEET!! | |
| <jkeyes0> I had to order one. | |
| <bkingx> so how is bwlog running for you? | |
| <jkeyes0> pretty nice so far. I haven't rebooted again, so I don't know what'll happen. I'm going to set up an ftp server on my file server so I can use that to back up the data | |
| <bkingx> That's what I did...still havent got it tweaked just right yet. | |
| <jkeyes0> which ftp server are you running? | |
| <bkingx> For some reason when the router reboots, it loses it's settings. | |
| <bkingx> I have a microsoft ftp server. | |
| <bkingx> It is running an old site, so I just left it there. | |
| <jkeyes0> nice | |
| <bking_x> OK...how do I kill the other ghost users? | |
| <jkeyes0> dunno. wish I did (for last night). they will time out in a while. | |
| <jkeyes0> so how did you make the startup script for your router? | |
| <bonbonthejon> jkeyes0: its in the wiki | |
| <jkeyes0> brb, bad hail here. | |
| <bonbonthejon> where is here, jkeyes0 | |
| <Zuph> well, I guess this kind of sucks | |

| <jkeyes0> hey X626 | |
| <Zuph> I want to though | |
| <X626> Hey | |
| <Koji-Murasame> *Sigh* we are pathetic to be this amused using an IRC bot. . . | |
| <X626> I'm very happy, and at the same time, highly ticked off. I get to completely REMOVE Windows, but the HD where Ubuntu is stored has a TON of bad sectors. | |
| <X626> So I can't use partimage to back it up. | |
| <jkeyes0> you could always do a system backup, then restore to a fresh install? | |
| <X626> I don't want to do a fresh install...Im on dial-up, and getting what I have installed back would take FOREVER. | |
| <jkeyes0> ah yes. good point. | |
| <Koji-Murasame> X626: is it currently refusing to boot or is your data just corrupted? | |
| <X626> It boots. The HD has been acting up lately, though. Slow access times, very noisy...I only found out about it when I went to make an image. | |
| <X626> I guess I could try to transfer the system from the current HD to the new one (once I wipe Windows). Though, I'd probably get the same error. | |
| <Koji-Murasame> It seems like there should be a way to back up anything that isn't corrupted and restore the files that are. . . | |
| <X626> Honestly, I don't think any files are corrupted (yet). I even ran e2fschk and it didn't find any file errors. | |
| <etank> X626: see if you can find an iso for Hiren's Boot CD | |
| <etank> it has tools that can repair the bad sectors (or so it says) | |
| <etank> i just used it on a machine this last weekend | |
| <X626> Do you think SystemRescueCD would have any? (btw, how big is the ISO? Remember: I'm on dial-up) | |
| <etank> I think that it was like 80MB | |
| <etank> maybe even smaller than that | |
| <Koji-Murasame> That's pretty small. About the size of Puppy Linux. . . | |
| <etank> I think the tool was HDD Regenerator | |
| <X626> Yeah, but huge for me. | |
| <etank> another one on the disk is Spin Right | |
| <etank> is there anyone in your area that has broadband? | |
| <X626> Uh....I don't know. Probably, but I don't talk to many people (my mom has it, though). | |
| <Zuph> etank: I think I figured out what's up with the mail server | |
| <Zuph> although I don't have it here to test | |
| <Koji-Murasame> !ping | |
| <ubotwo> pong | |
| <bkingx> WHOOOHOOOOO!! | |
| <bkingx> The BOT is BACK!! | |
| <X626> lmao | |

| <etank> Zuph: what was the problem | |
| <etank> bkingx: http://www.opendocman.com/ | |
| <Zuph> Unix usernames are case sensitive | |
| <etank> yes they are | |
| <Zuph> but postfix sends all usernames in lowercase | |
| <bkingx> etank: any count? | |
| <etank> !hi | dad_e_man | |
| <ubotwo> dad_e_man: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu-kentucky! | |
| <Zuph> So even though the username was BradLuyster, it was looking for user bradluyster, two distinct users. | |
| <etank> bkingx: look at it | |
| <etank> i just found the darn thing | |
| <dad_e_man> hi.. couldn't find a ubuntu tn. | |
| <dad_e_man> so here I am.. nice to meet you all | |
| <etank> Zuph: can't you create an alias?? | |
| <etank> nice to meet you dad_e_man | |
| <Zuph> I dunno | |
| <Zuph> I'm going to try out a bunch of stuff tomorrow now that I know this | |
| <bkingx> Skimmed it....looks exactly what we need. | |

| <bkingx> !newbie | |
| <bkingx> Uh oh..I think I broke it! | |
| <dad_e_man> at least I did my fair share of reading first.. still at wits end on a few things | |
| <Zuph> dude, ubotwo doesn't know anything about noobz | |
| <Zuph> Well, we are here to end your wits. | |
| <bkingx> LOL...OK then...who wants a challenge? | |
| <etank> i guess jkeyes0 didn't | |
| <bkingx> NOpe | |
| <bkingx> Looks like we can do some reverse proxy using iptables in a custom startup script. | |
| <etank> dad_e_man: have you seen the stuff for the tennessee team? | |
| <bkingx> How good are you, etank ? | |
| <dad_e_man> wasn't aware there was one? | |
| <etank> depends on what you are talking about | |
| <etank> #ubuntu-tennessee | |
| <etank> i am not sure if it is going het | |
| <etank> s/net/yet/ | |
| <dad_e_man> ok.. don't laugh.. new to irc as well | |
| <etank> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TennesseeTeam | |
| <dad_e_man> thanks | |
| <venomous> etank: you code geke! | |
| <etank> the channel isnt there yet | |
| <bkingx> etank: build me a script on iptables to run on the router. | |
| <bkingx> venomous: you can do this too! | |
| <etank> it is called ipcop bkingx | |
| <etank> dad_e_man: not that we want you to leave here though | |
| <etank> you are welcome to hang out with us | |
| <dad_e_man> thanks again.. I appreciate that.. have a good one | |
| <bkingx> yeah dad_e_man hang out! | |
| <dad_e_man> ok | |
| <dad_e_man> didn't want to invade your guys space or anything | |
| <etank> you aren't | |
| <bkingx> Ask away, these guys are very good and smart! | |
| <etank> hang out | |
| <etank> we can all learn from one another | |
| <dad_e_man> Right now, I'm only struggling with a sound card | |
| <etank> where do you live in TN | |
| <bkingx> And everyone is glad to have newbies! BTW...I am one too. | |
| <dad_e_man> can't seem to get 5.1.. just 2 channel | |
| <bkingx> Been using Linux for about 2 months. | |
| <dad_e_man> Bristol (blountville actually) | |
| <etank> dad_e_man: have you joined the TN team yet? | |
| <etank> there appear to be 22 members | |
| <dad_e_man> nope.. I've been toying w/ various distros over the past few weeks and I've decided to keep ubuntu | |
| <venomous> dad_e_man: use to fly out of tri-cities all the time. been over the track more times than i care to count! | |
| <dad_e_man> so I'm very fresh to all this | |
| <bkingx> OMG! I've been in Blountville too! | |
| <dad_e_man> but I just recently got the ubuntu bible to assist me on my adventure | |
| <dad_e_man> lmao.. been in blountville? | |
| <bkingx> Been there a few times for the race, and raced RC cars there. | |
| <dad_e_man> as in the blountville jail or just blountville | |
| <dad_e_man> oic | |
| <Zuph> IMO none of the books out there hold a candle to just USING ubuntu as your primary OS and refusing to go back to windows. | |
| <bkingx> Just blountville! | |
| <bkingx> LOL | |
| <dad_e_man> I live right up from that track.. think it's closed now | |
| <bkingx> NO WAY! | |
| <bkingx> Well, maybe for the season. | |
| <dad_e_man> looks to be, but they may have moved on to bigger better things | |
| <bkingx> Really? Still doing the hobbies? | |
| <X626> *evil laugh* Time to start DESTROYING Windows! | |
| <dad_e_man> I can navigate around the repositories quite well.. and I've managed to do a few installs.. but some of them just don't work like my windows native a** wants them to.. lol | |
| <etank> https://launchpad.net/~tennessee.team | |
| <etank> just in case you want to join the team | |
| <Zuph> well | |
| <Zuph> Linux is not windows, first of all | |
| <Zuph> They aren't going to work the same. | |
| <Zuph> but for the most part its subtle | |
| * etank agrees with Zuph | |
| <Zuph> And the fact that open source programmers can't program a UI for the life of themselves | |
| <Zuph> Programmers shouldn't do UIs :( | |
| <X626> They focus more on the function, not the interface. | |
| <dad_e_man> definitely, I'm already addicted to linux as a whole.. and I need a place to "blend" | |
| <dad_e_man> hate everything about M$ | |
| <X626> Me, too. That's why I'm about to destroy my Windows installation. | |
| <dad_e_man> still need it for a couple apps | |
| <Zuph> X626: Form and Function are pretty damn well interlinked | |
| <dad_e_man> but thats about it.. looking forward to making the move entirely | |
| <bkingx> etank: ipcop isn't installed on this router. | |
| <Koji-Murasame> http://dmartin.org/weblog/things-i-can-do-in-linux-that-i-cant-do-on-windows | |
| <dad_e_man> will anydvd run in wine? that's the really the only one app I would truly hate to lose | |
| <etank> bkingx: you are right it isnt | |
| <bkingx> Ah...because it is a distro | |
| <etank> it is a linux distro that makes your old hardware a firewall | |
| <bkingx> Still not what I am imagining. | |
| <Zuph> I plan on putting either ipcop or smoothwall on a PC for a routerbox for the new house | |
| <jkeyes0> ipcop is great (limited experience with it, but it's a great proxy/firewall. | |
| <bkingx> Man...this should be a no-brainer. | |
| <bkingx> Seems like it would be nothing to make this work in a router. | |
| <dad_e_man> how is the protection in ubuntu "out of the box" should I dig for firewalls and such? | |
| <bkingx> And configure it through a web UI | |
| <Zuph> dad_e_man: protection from what? | |
| <dad_e_man> lol | |
| <dad_e_man> well | |
| <dad_e_man> since nothing is executable anymore.. I don't know really | |
| <dad_e_man> I tried to think of a good response to that question | |
| <Zuph> I mean, there aren't any viruses really written for Linux | |
| <Zuph> You probably aren't vulnerable to any rootkits unless you're running a tasty looking server | |
| <dad_e_man> it's still good to have a firewall around.. correct? | |
| <Zuph> and because you don't have internet explorer at all, spyware is a non-issue | |
| <Zuph> Yes, it's still good practice | |
| <dad_e_man> well I haven't had IE for a long while now | |
| <dad_e_man> Love firefox | |
| <Zuph> Especially if you tend to lean slightly to the paranoid side of computing. | |
| <dad_e_man> not really | |
| <venomous> Zuph: etank let you know i got that stupid ispconfig thing workin'?? | |
| <X626_> I HATE dial-up. | |
| <Zuph> I don't run any protection at all, and my computer is fine. | |
| <Zuph> venomous: nope. What was the problem? | |
| <Koji-Murasame> My wi-fi router has a firewall built in. . . | |
| <dad_e_man> think mine does too.. | |
| <dad_e_man> WRT54g | |
| <dad_e_man> v5 | |
| <X626_> Yes, it does. | |
| <bkingx> sweet! | |
| <venomous> i sit behind a router that serves as dns...blah, blah. i hadn't been telling it to resolve the domain name ispconfig forced me to come up with! | |
| <etank> dad_e_man: for the most part there are no open ports in Ubuntu by default | |
| <bkingx> wrt54g!! | |
| <venomous> you guys with the wrt's still running linksys firmware?? | |
| <etank> dad_e_man: if you want a firewall look into firestarter | |
| <dad_e_man> thats my next question.. | |
| <jkeyes0> wrt54g!!!! | |
| <jkeyes0> dd-wrt as of last night for me, venomous | |
| <etank> is is a gui for iptables | |
| <Zuph> dd-wrt | |
| <etank> os is it ipchains? | |
| <bkingx> dd-wrt ROCKS!! | |
| <jkeyes0> it's iptables, etank | |
| <etank> dad_e_man: it works well | |
| <venomous> congrats jkeyes0! | |
| <etank> jkeyes0: thanks | |
| <jkeyes0> :) :) | |
| <bkingx> say again etank ? | |
| <dad_e_man> I do my fair share of torrenting.. I'm looking for a bittorrent client that has forced encryption | |
| <venomous> got a project on friday migrating arcserve to backup exec. anyone who's done that migration before know of any issues to look out for? | |
| *** X626_ is now known as X626 | |
| <venomous> dad_e_man: your isp ever call you about the amount of traffic your torrent is generating?? | |
| <dad_e_man> well not yet.. but my being on a 10meg connection may have something to do with that | |
| <dad_e_man> I don't get a lot of stuff | |
| <dad_e_man> but I keep up with all my series that way due to lack of a tivo | |
| <dad_e_man> prison break, lost, heroes etc. | |
| <dad_e_man> been wondering if that letter is coming | |
| <dad_e_man> I've heared about alot comcast ppl up in jc getting them | |
| <etank> bkingx: say what again ? | |
| <dad_e_man> we use charter | |
| <bkingx> you were mentioning something about iptables? | |
| <venomous> last week i had a 40gig d/l and i actually popped up on insight's radar for a phone call. this week...a 120gig d/l, but no phone calls yet! | |
| <venomous> for all those with insight...turns out if you push more than 6.7gig in a 24 hour period....they WILL call you | |
| <dad_e_man> wow | |
| <dad_e_man> what was it? | |
| <dad_e_man> never seen anyone dare upload a file that size | |
| <etank> bkingx: i was saying that firestarter is a good gui for iptables on Ubuntu | |
| <dad_e_man> must have been on a t-3 lol | |
| <etank> he was getting rainbow tables | |
| <venomous> still am...now getting the 120gig table | |
| <dad_e_man> should I go ahead and port forward the router and set up a static ip.. or does upnp actually work in linux? | |
| <dad_e_man> it's nice to feel like such a dumb*** all over again.. :-D | |
| <bkingx> upnp works fine for me. | |
| <dad_e_man> killer | |
| <bkingx> although I am running a different firmware than you too. | |
| <bkingx> Most of us are running dd-wrt on our routers. | |
| <dad_e_man> your using the linux version right? | |
| <etank> bkingx: did you look at that site? | |
| <dad_e_man> by default aren't they already linux firmware though? | |
| <dad_e_man> linksys routers I mean | |
| <Koji-Murasame> I'm a little behind the times (just getting into podcasts), but if anyone is interested the last episode of FLOSS Weekly was an interview with Jeff Waugh. | |
| <etank> dad_e_man: yep | |
| <jkeyes0> reboot time. something's weird about Xorg, eh.brb | |
| <dad_e_man> seems like I read that somewhere.. I saw it upped on demonoid the other day.. (the new wrt54g firmware) | |
| <etank> that is why someone was able to write dd-wrt | |
| <dad_e_man> don't say pod or you'll get sued | |
| <dad_e_man> lol | |
| <etank> there is a video on it now at hak5.org | |
| <etank> peas in a *** | |
| <dad_e_man> lol | |
| <bkingx> etank: it didn't let me in | |
| <bkingx> Timed out. | |
| <etank> wait one | |
| <bkingx> K | |
| <Koji-Murasame> Alright. I'm headed out for a late dinner. Later everyone. | |
| <dad_e_man> will I need to install xvid codecs in ubuntu? | |
| <bkingx> later Koji-Murasame | |
| <etank> bkingx: try it now | |
| <dad_e_man> another thing.. how hard would it be to change over to vlc player? | |
| <etank> easy | |
| <etank> sudo aptitude install vlc | |
| <dad_e_man> lol | |
| <dad_e_man> ok ok.. just checking | |
| <etank> then just right click on a file that you want to use vlc for | |
| <bkingx> Nice etank !!! | |
| <etank> go to properties | |
| <bkingx> Just what I was thinking!! | |
| <dad_e_man> love vlc player | |
| <etank> somewhere in there is a place to allow you to make it open all file like that | |
| <etank> i like vlc too | |
| <etank> good stuff | |
| <etank> cross platform | |
| <etank> bkingx: did you see the file on the site? | |
| <bkingx> still trying to get in. | |
| <dad_e_man> yeah I dropped winamp and wmp for it as well long before I ever even thought about making the switch to linux | |
| <jkeyes0> btw, for those interested, http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11123986&whse=BC&topnav=&browse=&s=1 | |
| <bkingx> userid and pass? | |
| <dad_e_man> wow.. thats an excellent price | |
| <jkeyes0> indeed. might be sold out, but the deal is supposed to be good until midnight tonight | |
| <etank> i want one of those | |
| <jkeyes0> i ordered one at about 7pm | |
| <bkingx> Nice etank !! | |
| <etank> did you get me one too :) | |
| <etank> did you get in bkingx | |
| <jkeyes0> nah, I got me 7, and I'm going to wear them around on a necklace, lording them over you all. :P :P | |
| <bkingx> Yeah! Just what I was thinking! | |
| <etank> bkingx: you saw the file then | |
| <bkingx> Yep! | |
| <bkingx> Why Ubuntu.odp | |
| <dad_e_man> bling bling | |
| <etank> it has user permissions and all kinds of neat things | |
| <etank> nice | |
| <bkingx> Very! | |
| <etank> jkeyes0: that would just get you mugged | |
| <etank> :) | |
| <jkeyes0> hm, good point. | |
| <dad_e_man> is there a way to bookmark rooms such as this one? | |
| <etank> what client do you use? | |
| <dad_e_man> gaim | |
| <etank> i have done it with gaim but I dont remeber how | |
| <etank> hold on and I will try | |
| <dad_e_man> wanted to bookmark it because it will take my short bus riding a** ten minutes or better to get vlc on here | |
| <bkingx> LOST is on!! | |
| <dad_e_man> I'm failing the aptitude | |
| <dad_e_man> thanks for that reminder | |
| <dad_e_man> thank you thank you thank you | |
| <dad_e_man> these shows kill me | |
| <dad_e_man> they never get anywhere | |
| <dad_e_man> if you like Lost you'll love Heroes | |
| <bkingx> I LOVE Heroes! | |
| <dad_e_man> didn't think I was gonna like it but I torrented 1-18 this week and now I have another affliction | |
| <jkeyes0> Heroes! | |
| <jkeyes0> Yatta! | |
| <dad_e_man> I'll have to add the whatcha' ma'call it repositories as well in order to install vlc right? | |
| <dad_e_man> the restricted | |
| <etank> do the universe and multiverse | |
| <dad_e_man> one more question I was wondering and I'll S.T.F.U... with all my brand newbianess | |
| <etank> i add all repos on my systems | |
| <dad_e_man> yeah thats the ones | |
| <dad_e_man> sorry.. only read about them | |
| <dad_e_man> was trying to remember | |
| <dad_e_man> anyone dual boot windows home? | |
| <dad_e_man> well you know how file sharing w/ home edition is a real bi*** | |
| <RoninX341> I don't have any windows home machines | |
| <dad_e_man> if I mount the volumes in linux.. I can enable those volumes for file sharing through linux right? | |
| <dad_e_man> as long as both machines have linux | |
| <RoninX341> you mean have a dual boot machine and be in the linux side | |
| <venomous> RoninX341: have you assimilated etank? | |
| <RoninX341> then mount the windows part | |
| <bkingx> etank: did you look at owl-dms> | |
| <dad_e_man> yes | |
| <RoninX341> then share with linux machines | |
| <dad_e_man> yes | |
| <RoninX341> that should be very possible | |
| <dad_e_man> wonderful | |
| <dad_e_man> thank you | |
| <dad_e_man> now I'll just have to do my homework | |
| <RoninX341> assume that you have ntfs-3g loaded if you are using ntfs on windows | |
| <RoninX341> that will allow for read/write | |
| <dad_e_man> unfortunatly on one of them yes.. but the laptop no.. its fat32 | |
| <RoninX341> once ntfs-3g is loaded just add your user to the fuse group | |
| <RoninX341> fat32 is no problem | |
| <RoninX341> linux can write to that natively | |
| <RoninX341> venomous: I have dual a dual personality | |
| <dad_e_man> yeah I read on afterdawn about some issues ppl were having w/ linux installs on ntfs partitions | |
| <venomous> evidently...the more shadow-y side appears just as i'm about to punch out. later all! | |
| <etank> later venomous | |
| <etank> dad_e_man: look into switching to Xchat for irc | |
| <dad_e_man> ok.. | |
| <etank> i can not figure out how to save the channel | |
| <etank> i did it once before | |
| <dad_e_man> it's ok.. I appreciate your time in trying | |
| <etank> bkingx: didn't like the owl-dms that much | |
| <dad_e_man> thought I was missing something | |
| <bkingx> etank: cool | |
| <etank> that is why i found the opendoc thing | |
| <etank> it should work for what we are wanting | |
| <bkingx> Can you install that on our server? | |
| <etank> dad_e_man: what was your sound problem? | |
| <etank> bkingx: not at the moment | |
| <bkingx> LOL...right | |
| <bkingx> But eventually, I mean | |
| <dad_e_man> I can only hear 2 channel.. but I have a 6 speaker set up | |
| <dad_e_man> was trying to get surround | |
| <dad_e_man> other than that and the learning curve.. I'm in good shape | |
| <dad_e_man> Redmond just lost another customer | |
| <etank> don't know much about the surround sound | |
| <etank> i have a laptop | |
| <etank> not much to surround | |
| <dad_e_man> lol | |
| <dad_e_man> yeah I just got an acer dual core processor 100gig hd 1gig of ram for $599 at wally world.. isn't it great | |
| <dad_e_man> oops, left out amd turion 64 | |
| <dad_e_man> but I'm currently on the desktop | |
| <etank> i am still running on a dell inspiron 5150 | |
| <etank> it works well for me though | |
| <dad_e_man> had a latitude.. it was tough | |
| <etank> had this one for about 3 - 4 years | |
| <dad_e_man> not tough enough to survive my stepdaughter.. lol she cracked the lcd the first day I gave it to her | |
| <etank> not good | |
| <dad_e_man> still works though.. just has a spiderweb on it now | |
| <etank> i got the total care package for that purpose | |
| <etank> course the warranty is up now | |
| <dad_e_man> we ebayed that one.. wish we had the total care plan | |
| <jkeyes0> wow, I hadn't played around enough with alsa mixer until just now. my speakers were only set at about half, and I enabled "Tone", which just makes them sound awesome. | |
| <dad_e_man> doesn't have a 5.1 setting does it? | |
| <jkeyes0> I've got 4.1, but it's got Front, Surround, and Center settings. | |
| <dad_e_man> wonder if it would override the system settings on mine? | |
| <etank> well guys it's been fun but i got to go | |
| <jkeyes0> I had to edit the preferences to get it to show all the channels, but I've tweaked my speakers out a bit now, so it's playing much better now | |
| <etank> dad_e_man: nice talking with you | |
| <dad_e_man> at least I have sound.. I gave video linux a try but my sound card wasn't supported | |
| <jkeyes0> later etank | |
| <etank> come in anytime | |
| <dad_e_man> u2 | |
| <dad_e_man> have a good one | |
| <etank> we are actually having a meeting in here tomorrow at 8:00 if you want to join us | |
| <etank> later jkeyes0 | |
| <dad_e_man> like the concept of video linux.. | |
| <dad_e_man> yeah sure.. | |
| <dad_e_man> if the demon babies don't intervene | |
| <dad_e_man> It's been a while since I've met nice ppl on the net.. | |
| <dad_e_man> been going to the wrong places I guess | |
| <jkeyes0> woo, installing feisty on my test machine. | |
| <Takoda_Sky> :-D | |
| <Zuph> bingo | |
| <Zuph> that was the problem | |
| <etank> what was the problem? | |
| <Zuph> the caps thing | |
| <Zuph> now I can't get outlook to connect to the smtp server though | |
| <etank> Outlook is from "The Devil" | |
| <Zuph> yes | |
| <Zuph> It's also what everyone here knows how to use | |
| <Zuph> so... | |
| <Zuph> Actually Outlook express just sucks. Outlook paired with Exchange server is a damn good enterprise solution. | |
| <Zuph> well this is an interesting conundrum | |
| <Zuph> My VM seems to have corrupted a few sectors of it's virtual hard drive | |
| <|{evin> ha | |
| <|{evin> my PHYSICAL drive is hosed... top that | |
| <Zuph> I'd love to FSCK the drive, | |
| <|{evin> I did, no go :/ | |
| <Zuph> but it tells me fscking a mounted drive may cause severe file system damage. | |
| <|{evin> the machine's up.. but everything's mounted read-only | |
| <Zuph> so, do I run my backup copy of the VM and see if the error reproduces itself after 24 hours or so? | |
| <Zuph> or just restore to the backup? | |
| <Zuph> And being that the VM with the error is in a semi-production environment, how will I know the error isn't triggered by being somehow accessed? | |
| <Zuph> well try the restore to backup thing | |
| <etank> !uptime | |
| <ubotwo> Sorry, I know nothing about that - try http://help.ubuntu.com/community/ | |
| <Zuph> anyone know anything about shell scripting? | |
| <Zuph> :( | |
| *** bnizzle is now known as bnizzel | |
| <Zuph> my kingdom for a guide on how vmware manages vmdk files for a vm | |
| <Zuph> also my kingdom for a guide for not stupid people on shell scripting. | |
| <etank> !hi | bnizzel | |
| <ubotwo> bnizzel: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu-kentucky! | |
| <bnizzel> hey | |
| <bnizzel> how is everyone ? | |
| <etank> so so | |
| <etank> I hate Citrix MetaFrame 1.8 with passion. | |
| <bnizzel> yea | |
| <etank> it sucks | |
| <etank> how are you | |
| <bnizzel> alright, just working | |
| <etank> brb | |
| <bnizzel> i'm gonna have someone else i know join this group too | |
| <etank> cool | |
| <etank> bring'em on | |
| <Zuph> BRING IT | |
| <Zuph> WE WERE BORN READY | |
| <bnizzel> yup | |
| <bnizzel> glad to see a local group like this one | |
| <etank> !hi | mngrif | |
| <ubotwo> mngrif: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu-kentucky! | |
| * etank says "Man I am glad that the bot is back" :) | |
| <Zuph> weirdo | |
| <Zuph> Couldn't you just set up your own bot that automagically greeted everyone, instead of doing it manually each time? :) | |
| <etank> i could. but i dont have the time :P | |
| <Zuph> haha | |
| <Zuph> So, anyone know anything about shell scripting? | |
| <bnizzel> so is the meeting going to be on this irc tonight? | |
| <etank> i am actually thinking of trying to write my own bot in python | |
| <etank> just for practice | |
| <etank> yep. tonight at 8:00PM. | |
| <bnizzel> cool | |
| <etank> Zuph: what kind of shell scripting? | |
| <etank> brb | |
| <Zuph> Simple shell scripting | |
| <bnizzel> i know i gotta work late but i will try to be on here by then | |
| <Zuph> basically, I want to write a script that automagically sets up a new user with the Maildir structure I need and a default password | |
| <Zuph> I'm having trouble feeding a password into the passwd command, though. | |
| <bnizzel> Zuph: so the script is trying to feed it into passwd | |
| <Zuph> I just want to be able to create a user with some username and a default password with the only input being the username | |
| <bnizzel> figure you could just write something for "user add" | |
| <bnizzel> hrmm.. i dunno i would have to see the script | |
| <bnizzel> but i already have LOTS of coding to do at work | |
| <Zuph> useradd doesn't set a password, though | |
| <etank> Zuph: can you use the useradd -p switch to specify a password? | |
| <Zuph> nope. | |
| <bnizzel> that is what i thought | |
| <Zuph> that doesn't specify a password | |
| <bnizzel> shitty | |
| <etank> does that just tell useradd to prompt for a password then? | |
| <etank> what if you have the script create the user and then call passwd (username) and then pass the default password to it? | |
| <Zuph> I would love to be able to do that | |
| <Zuph> I don't know how, though | |
| <Zuph> honestly, it isn't worth this much time | |
| <Zuph> I'll just create the users manually. | |
| <Zuph> There | |
| <Zuph> Done. | |

| <TheLighty> any cs people in here | |
| <|{evin> computer science... counter strike... ? | |
| <TheLighty> yes | |
| <Zuph> I used to qualify as the latter. | |
| <TheLighty> counter strike | |
| <Zuph> But I haven't since 1.6 | |
| <TheLighty> well I put up some server's | |
| <TheLighty> wanted someone to test them | |
| <etank> test them how | |
| <Zuph> at work, no can do | |
| <Zuph> shoot people bang bang dead on them? | |
| <TheLighty> hehe | |
| <TheLighty> want to see how they run basically | |
| <etank> not to change the subject but the next CC meeting is going to be on March 20th at 18:00 UTC | |
| <etank> for all that are interested in attending | |
| <etank> or if you are willing to cheer for me as I throw myself at their mercy and ask to be granted Ubuntu Membership :) | |
| <etank> now back to cs testing | |
| <etank> i've never played cs | |
| <etank> does it run on Linux? | |
| <bnizzel> so how many of you all are from lexington? | |
| * etank raises his hand | |
| <bnizzel> w0rd | |
| <Zuph> cs doesn't really run on linux | |
| <Zuph> I've heard of some success with wine | |
| <Zuph> but also horror stories. | |
| <etank> then im a no go then | |
| <bnizzel> adobe?? | |
| <etank> counter strike | |
| <bnizzel> oh making sure | |
| <etank> so is 18:00 UTC really 2:00PM in EST during DST? | |
| <Zuph> no | |
| <Zuph> EST is UTC -4:00 during DST. | |
| <etank> so what time is it in KY then? | |
| <etank> 1:00PM? | |
| <Zuph> What time is it in KY right now? | |
| <Zuph> or at 18:00 UTC? | |
| <Zuph> wait | |
| <Zuph> I'm a moron | |
| <Zuph> You're right | |
| <Zuph> somehow I subtracted 4:00 from 18:00 in my head and got 15:00 | |
| <Zuph> well, being that it's not 16:22 UTC, I'm going to go get some food. | |
| <Zuph> *now | |
| * Zuph sighs | |
| <TheLighty> [etank] does it run on Linux? the server is running on Ubuntu | |
| <TheLighty> and I here that you can install CS on any linux as well | |
| <etank> does the client run on ubuntu? | |
| <TheLighty> I am told yes | |
| <TheLighty> I do not play it | |
| <TheLighty> me bad, have not redone my notebook yet to Ubuntu | |
| <Zuph> Well, now all I have to do is wait for this server to fail miserably. | |
| <Zuph> oh drupal.org, why so slow | |
| <Zuph> Now this is strange: | |
| <Zuph> From a virtual server, transfering data, I'm getting at MOST 300 kbps | |
| <Zuph> Over a 100mbps network | |
| <Zuph> Where I get good transfer rates from other virtual machines running on the same host. | |
| <Zuph> And on an IDENTICLE COPY of the VM on another host, I get good transfer rates | |
| <etank> are all of the vms configed to use the same physical nic | |
| <Zuph> yes | |
| <Zuph> But the nic is otherwise unloaded | |
| <Zuph> I'm not trying multiple concurrent transfers | |
| <Zuph> When VM1 is the ONLY vm transfering, it maxes out at 300 kbps, while when VM2 is the ONLY vm transferring, it maxes out at 100mbps | |
| <etank> dumb questions coming your way: | |
| <etank> do you have the vmtools loaded on the slow machine? | |
| <etank> is the virtual nic set to auto negotiate or at 100MB Full Duplex | |
| <Zuph> I don't have VMWare tools loaded on any of the VMs. | |
| <Zuph> The virtual NIC is set to auto negotiate, but reports being connected at 100MBPS | |
| <Zuph> Even if it were only negotiating at 10 mbps, though, it would get better performance than 300kbps | |
| <Zuph> This is the same VM I was having disk read errors on earlier | |
| <Zuph> I think it's a virtual disk problem. | |
| <etank> sounds like it | |
| <etank> do you think that it is a physical disk issue and the virtual disk just happens to be written at that spot? | |
| <Zuph> that seems unlikely | |
| <Zuph> Given that I've restored the VM from a known working backup by deleting the entire VM and recopying it. | |
| <etank> oh i bet i know what it is | |
| <etank> weird | |
| <Zuph> what is that? | |
| <Zuph> :( | |
| <jkeyes0> way offtopic, but I've got to say, I love Wildfire / Spark. I set up a server for it here at work, and now I've got IM capabilities with coworkers. | |
| <Zuph> Yeah | |
| <Zuph> We're using wildfire here too | |
| <Zuph> It's pretty awesome | |
| <jkeyes0> just to be clear, there are no licensing issues, right? | |
| <Zuph> nope | |
| <jkeyes0> nice | |
| <Zuph> etank don't leave me hanging :( | |
| <etank> i was just saying that it is weired | |
| <etank> all of the other vms are sending data at 100MB except that one | |
| <etank> what is the guest OS | |
| <etank> have you throttled the bandwidth for that one vm? | |
| <Zuph> oh | |
| <Zuph> No | |
| <Zuph> I haven't | |
| <etank> like you can with cpu stuff | |
| <Zuph> ubuntu 6.06 server | |
| <Zuph> I'm going to say it's a disk issue and see what I can do about it | |
| <Zuph> until then, more developing. | |
| <etank> but you have copied the disk to a different esx server right? | |
| <Zuph> it's not ESC | |
| <Zuph> *ESX | |
| <Zuph> Just VMWare server | |
| <Zuph> On my development machine, I have the working, known good VM | |
| <Zuph> But it's a 12gb flat file | |
| <Zuph> so to transfer it, I convert it to a growable file | |
| <Zuph> burn everything to a DVD | |
| <Zuph> and transfer it | |
| <l90bpm> hello.. | |
| <Zuph> Hello | |
| <jkeyes0> !hi | l90bpm | |
| <ubotwo> l90bpm: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu-kentucky! | |
| <l90bpm> you guys welcomed me yesterday under the name dad_e_man.. just wanted to let you know it's the same fella | |
| <Zuph> ah | |
| <l90bpm> I'm not logged in as root today so I changed the name | |
| <l90bpm> so how are things going? | |
| <l90bpm> I like IRC.. can't believe I've been missing out.. stayed in the ubuntu help chat a while last night.. very helpful | |
| <l90bpm> sorry to bother you.. | |
| <Zuph> For some reason I don't think he "gets" IRC. | |
| <jkeyes0> ? | |
| <etank> that was different | |
| <jkeyes0> I sent him a PM back saying he wasn't bothering us, and that most of us are afk. | |
| <Zuph> For some reason I don't think he "gets" IRC. :) | |
| <jkeyes0> Zuph, not sure I understand. | |
| <etank> if he sticks around we can help him get it | |
| <jkeyes0> we need to teach him the wonderfulness that is Xchat, though. | |
| <etank> or irssi :) | |
| <jkeyes0> well yes. something other than gaim. | |
| <etank> true | |
| <Zuph> A different nickname because he isn't logged in as root? | |
| <jkeyes0> eh, maybe it's a personal preference. | |
| <jkeyes0> either way, he really shouldn't be logging in (especially not to IRC) as root... | |
| <jkeyes0> I'm really enjoying Wildfire (the plugins are wonderful) | |
| <etank> what is wildfire | |
| <jkeyes0> instant messaging server, free. | |
| <etank> !tell etank about wildfire | |
| <jkeyes0> wow, they JUST NOW renamed the project from wildfire to openfire. | |
| <etank> good | |
| <etank> i thought that I was going frazy | |
| <etank> s/frazy/crazy/ | |
| <jkeyes0> of course it appears the site is halfway broken. http://www.igniterealtime.org | |
| <etank> i just went to the website and didnt see wildfire. | |
| <jkeyes0> yeah, they just changed its name (today, like 15 mins ago). it's the same product | |
| <etank> so that is the server and spark is the client | |
| <jkeyes0> exactly. or any other jabber client. | |
| <etank> guys im out for now | |
| <etank> heading home | |
| <etank> see you at 8:00 | |

| <etank> oops | |
| <etank> jkeyes0: are you a member of that team? | |
| <jkeyes0> yes I am. | |
| <jkeyes0> probably forgot to mention that. :P | |
| <jkeyes0> it's listed on my ubuntu wiki page though | |
| <etank> i thought so | |
| <etank> so they haven't said if I am in or not. | |
| <etank> what do you think is happening | |
| <jkeyes0> did they give you the quiz yet? | |
| <etank> no | |
| <jkeyes0> that should be the next step, after general introductions | |
| <etank> what is the quiz | |
| <jkeyes0> for me, they hadn't given one before, so they sort of made it up on the spot. | |
| <jkeyes0> things like "4 ways to install software in ubuntu" | |
| <jkeyes0> can you assist someone in configuring... (something) | |
| <jkeyes0> generally easy stuff | |
| <jkeyes0> off to dinner. be back later. | |
| <jkeyes0> btw, etank, looks like you've done very well on their quiz. | |
| <etank> what is not exact to what I said to the last question? | |
| <etank> they only gave me 3 sentences :P | |
| <jkeyes0> may have had somehting to do with the distro definition. it's a flaky subject, because OS and distro mean different things to different people. | |
| <etank> linux is the os. Ubuntu is the group of packages around the kernel that make it a distro | |
| <etank> i was not expecting a quiz | |
| <jkeyes0> if I'd known you were interested, I would have given you a bit of prep. :P | |
| <etank> i am on the unanswered posts team and no quiz | |
| <jkeyes0> what's involved in that team? | |
| <etank> trying to make sure that there are no posts with 0 replies | |
| <jkeyes0> that sounds fun. but I don't want to overexert myself (I'm feeling stretched thin with the beginners team, but I think once we start having meetings it'll clear itself up) | |
| <etank> http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=216 | |
| <etank> jkeyes0: i hope that the membership part of the CC meeting on the 20th isn't that intense | |
| <jkeyes0> when's the meeting, btw, and which channel? I'll do my best to be there. | |
| <etank> it will be in #ubuntu-meeting on March 20th at 18:00 UTC (which i understand to be 2:00PM) | |
| <etank> i like the new look to the forums and ubuntu site | |
| <etank> looks really nice | |
| <etank> when do they tell you if you are in | |
| <etank> jkeyes0: i feel like i am being inducted into a fraturnity in there | |
| <jkeyes0> did i miss something? (i've been learning gtk programming) | |
| <etank> i did the quiz and they moved on to the next guy | |
| <etank> no idea of how i did on their quiz | |
| <jkeyes0> weird. | |
| <etank> oh well | |
| <etank> if im in great. if not great. | |
| <jkeyes0> yeah, it's not a huge deal one way or another. | |
| <etank> i almost don't care at this point. | |
| <etank> I have other stuff im working with anyway | |
| <jkeyes0> heh | |
| <jkeyes0> btw, they didn't immediately tell me either. i just sort of noticed one day on the forums that I had been approved, then I got a +v in the channel. | |
| <etank> they said that they would like to have me on the team | |
| <etank> at least the bodhi guy did | |
| <jkeyes0> bodhi's in charge, so it's entirely up to him | |
| <etank> i passed |
