| <Sionide> i hate my lug | |
| <GazzaK> Sionide, why? | |
| <GazzaK> I like my LUG, we do stuff | |
| <Sionide> correction: | |
| <Sionide> i sometimes hate, some members of my lug | |
| <GazzaK> ahhh, got some annoyances then? | |
| <GazzaK> the youngest member of my LUG got ubuntu membership today, I'm well chuffed | |
| <Sionide> one or two, yeah | |
| <Sionide> hrm, i'm working on that... | |
| <GazzaK> I think I ought to be too | |
| <GazzaK> but all I do is the LUG and help out in the non support channels here | |
| <GazzaK> I doubt that is enough | |
| <Sionide> i'm about to write some wiki! | |
| <GazzaK> the LUG is non ubuntu specific and the helping out is not like support is it. | |
| <X3N_> i thought you liked your lug Sionide | |

| <stdin> hey | |
| <X3N> i don't feel comfortable adding your blog feed to the uk planet while 1 of your two posts is simply an attack against someone else | |
| <stdin> huh? who did I attack? | |
| <X3N> the person who complained against Stephan Hermann | |
| <stdin> the post wasn't intended to be about anyone in particular, I've hared a few people moan about it | |
| <stdin> and it's not meant as an attack either, just my view on it | |
| <X3N> it does read like that though | |
| <stdin> hmm, I guess I can see your point there | |
| <X3N> you could take it out of the ubuntu category ? | |
| <X3N> or make an ubuntu-uk category maybe | |
| <stdin> well, I took it out of the ubuntu category anyway, as it's not so much about ubuntu, but I'll also make a ubuntu-uk category | |
| <X3N> ok done | |
| <stdin> I'll use the ubuntu-uk tag for things I'm sure don't conflict with the CoC then | |

| <sampbar> hi all | |
| <Daviey> popey: an idea why we both happend to quit last night? | |
| <Daviey> morning sampbar | |
| <GazzaK> arghhh | |
| <popey> netsplit? | |
| <Daviey> netsplit doesn't normally lead to connection drop all together tho | |
| <Daviey> must have been a nasty one | |
| <popey> "meh" | |
| <popey> I for one am appreciative of our freenode overlords | |
| * popey notes his mentioning of the Gestapo on the hantslug list didn't generate any flames | |
| <GazzaK> wow | |
| <popey> history has shown this is not always the case | |
| <GazzaK> thats a first | |
| <popey> the "debian gestapo" no less :) | |
| <GazzaK> megaIRC is a tiny client | |
| * Daviey better check up on his mail | |
| <GazzaK> works on my portableapps thumbdrive too | |
| <popey> is today a brum day or a ford escort day? | |
| <popey> s/ford escort/essex | |
| <GazzaK> popey (arghhh no tab auto complete) Up in Brum | |
| <GazzaK> an it's nova's in Essex | |
| <popey> do you drive up in the morning or night before? | |
| <GazzaK> or corsas | |
| <GazzaK> I drive up tues morn stay overnight tue and wed night and drive home thursday from 12 noon | |
| <GazzaK> I get here about 11-12 tuesday morning/noon | |
| <popey> http://www.freesmug.org/portableapps/xchataqua/ xchat portable apps | |
| <popey> thought you might prefer that | |
| <popey> ah, hang on, thats for mac :) | |
| <GazzaK> I thought portableapps was a windows only thing? | |
| <popey> clearly not | |
| <popey> thing about macs is that you can easily make portable apps - easier than windows | |
| <popey> using dmg images | |
| <GazzaK> wooo, still want that macbook | |
| <popey> a dmg is a disk image which (when you open it) it overlays on top of your existing filesystem | |
| <popey> when you close the app, it goes away | |
| <GazzaK> yeah, I figured that bit out with the mac mini | |
| <GazzaK> MegaIRC is alright, it comes as a 410KB zip file and needs no install to run | |
| <GazzaK> but not much is fancy though | |
| <Daviey> "Linux-sponsored Indy 500 car...was the first car to crash on the track and finished dead last" | |
| * GazzaK learns his irc commands | |
| <mrben> it should be noted that crashing the car and finishing last doesn't necessarily mean an advertising failure | |
| <Daviey> As somebody on planet pointed out | |
| <Daviey> And it's a good point - still getting name in the press :) | |
| <GazzaK> at least they got on the telly | |
| <MooDoo> morning | |
| <GazzaK> Moooo | |
| <GazzaK> morning | |
| <MooDoo> i actually meant moo :) | |
| <popey> I am still not convinced that it's a good use of money | |
| <Daviey> Maybe not the best use - but i think it's great that people want to promote linux in varied ways | |
| <Daviey> the press exposure cannot be a bad thing | |
| <GazzaK> we should do linux flashing at sports events | |

| <popey> how did the mozilla newspaper ad guys gather their money? paypal? | |
| <popey> i can't remember now | |
| <Daviey> sabdfl said 'watch this space' for newspaper adds... So not sure what he is planning | |
| <popey> canonical ads != community ads | |
| <Daviey> true - but a layman doesn't know the difference | |
| <popey> when / where did he say that/ | |
| <Daviey> I think it was an 'ask mark' session | |
| <Daviey> lemme look | |
| <popey> during open week? | |
| <Daviey> i can't remember | |
| <Daviey> Arg... can't find it | |
| <Daviey> but IIRC he made reference to the billboard add aswell | |
| <popey> wasnt that just when someone asked him about billboards | |
| <Daviey> hmm | |
| <Daviey> maybe that was it | |
| <Daviey> <darich> question: are there any plans for large scale marketing campaigns a la Firefox for Ubuntu(full page adds etc..) | |
| <Daviey> I thought he made a direct reference to media adds recently tho | |
| <Daviey> popey: how can i make Irssi's window flash (on the application panel) | |
| <popey> dunno | |
| <Daviey> boo | |
| <popey> i use putty on windows which does it | |
| <popey> i guess its a feature of the terminal | |
| <popey> to flash when it gets a "bell" | |
| <popey> i am sure if you google for irssi and bell you will find some useful stuff | |
| <Daviey> Didn't try irssi & bell. That would probbaly work | |
| <Daviey> didn't release that it used bell/beep on notification | |
| <Daviey> can someone say my nick? | |
| <Daviey> ta | |
| <CheshireViking> Daviey, | |

| <Daviey> looks good GazzaK - maybe some linky's to some things your chuffed with | |
| <GazzaK> should I go for membership? | |
| <Daviey> GazzaK: If you feel confident.. | |
| <Daviey> I must say - i found it more stressful than i expected | |
| <loudmouthman> Daviey, sure he could put that but i dont think we want "that" sort of content on the site <grin> | |
| <Daviey> heh | |
| <Daviey> i did say chuffed and not chaffed :) | |
| <GazzaK> yeah, link to porn won't go down well at a membership meeting will it | |
| <GazzaK> lol | |
| <Daviey> There'll be no 'going down' either GazzaK.. thank you | |
| <loudmouthman> of course not thats why he uses Linux | |
| <Daviey> constant uptime shows wear and tear quickly tho | |
| <GazzaK> yeah,. thats why I gave up on windows, as it kept going down on me | |

| <selinuxium> hi all, I have just stuck a SATA drive on my pc. It does not appear in the mount. Firstly, I want to copy hdb1 to the new drive. so I can use it instead. would a standard dd do? | |
| <selinuxium> firstly i need to get ubuntu to recognise the drive! :) | |
| * loudmouthman reads "I have just stuck a SATA drive on my pc" and wondered what adhesive was used. and then paid attention to the question and says. does system hardware information not show anything ? | |
| <GazzaK> popey - do you use putty? | |
| <popey> i do | |
| <loudmouthman> how else can he keep his hair so pointy! | |

| <loudmouthman> oh yes were going to all the Steve Martin classics today ! | |
| <selinuxium> loudmouthman: it appears as a device under the sata raid controller in device manager... | |
| <popey> selinuxium: what kind of controller? | |
| <popey> what does lspci say it is? | |
| <popey> or sudo lshw | |
| <loudmouthman> well then it should be available under something like gparted . | |

| <selinuxium> popey: http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/260 this si the first time I have used SATA under linux.... and I have been using linux for 4 years now... | |
| <selinuxium> popey: And http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/261 for sudo lshw didn't know that one until now! | |
| <selinuxium> sorry guys, got to dash back in about 3 hours! | |
| <cinex> ciao | |
| <selinuxium> Bum, been bl;ocked in by some builders... So i am bout still! | |
| <popey> selinuxium: how have you set the disks up? | |
| <popey> did you setup raid in the bios? | |
| <selinuxium> popey: no, i only have the one SATA drive. | |
| <popey> does dmesg have anything interesting about the controler / disk? | |
| <selinuxium> one mo... | |
| <selinuxium> popey: I cant see anything strange, but then I am not used to seeing SATA in my dmesg. http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/262 | |
| <popey> can you paste the entire dmesg? | |
| <selinuxium> popey: yep one mo | |
| <cinex> asking for trouble! | |
| <popey> umm, you said it cant see the disk | |
| <popey> is it a maxtor? | |
| <popey> 6L080M0 | |
| <popey> 30G | |
| <popey> hang on you have a mix of SATA and PATA? | |
| <selinuxium> popey: the 6LO80MO is an 80gb drive. It is recognised by the system but is not mounted anywhere... it is not present under mount. | |
| <selinuxium> popey: I have 2 ide drives and one new SAT | |
| <popey> the 80G is the SATA? | |
| <selinuxium> popey: yep | |
| <popey> you are booting off the IDE? | |
| <selinuxium> popey: at present yes... | |
| <popey> can you pastebing "sudo fdisk -l " | |
| <selinuxium> http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/263 it is an old drive so may have some formatting present., | |
| <sampbar> hi all | |
| <selinuxium> sampbar: hi there! :) | |
| <sampbar> moooo | |
| <popey> dell printers are lexmark rebadges aren't they? | |
| <selinuxium> popey: ^^^ | |
| <sampbar> i think so | |
| <popey> right, so what do you want to do selinuxium ? | |
| <popey> linux can see the disk just fine | |
| <popey> but it is partitioned and formatted in a non-linuxy way | |
| <popey> so if you run "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" you can then delete those paritions and make nice new ones | |
| <selinuxium> popey: I was going to move my /home to the sda and then leave the 120gb IDE for music and /var/www but I don't thinkn I can do it without major hassles. Perhaps If I just creat a mount point for /usr/share/Music for the sda then I can copy my music from hdb1 to it and free up some space! | |
| <popey> its not major hassle at all | |
| <popey> you just need to partition it, copy all your data over, edit fstab, remount, job done | |
| <selinuxium> popey: the 120gb is full, mainly with FLAC files. is it a case of just copying all the other stuff over then.. | |
| <popey> initially yes | |
| <popey> ---> meeting | |
| <selinuxium> popey: cheers for your help. I'll let you know how I get on.. :) | |
| <Temporo> :) | |

| <gord> gah, apprently big brother starts again tonight, another few months of being annoyed ahoy! | |
| <frederific> sampbar: look on the plus side | |
| <frederific> gord: apparently theres a woman from a WI going in *rolleyes* | |
| <sampbar> frederific: whats the plus side? i couldnt buy the movie as i didnt have any ID | |
| <frederific> you saved yourself some money? | |
| <frederific> sorry, thats a bit crap | |
| <sampbar> lol | |
| <sampbar> oh well... i will just order it online | |
| <frederific> get yourself an ID card | |
| <sampbar> lol good suggestion | |
| <X3N> do you have the curse of looking young ? | |
| <gord> iv only got 'ided' once in my life i think, ironic thing was it was on my 18th birthday party | |
| <frederific> i was lucky, my school pays for all of year 10 to get validateUK cards, every year | |
| <GazzaK> after you had been going to the pub for years? | |
| <sampbar> X3N: dont think so but the tesco's down the road is weird im 6ft 1 as well lol | |
| <frederific> TBH, I'm surprised you got ID'd on a 12 | |
| <gord> indeedy GazzaK, they had hired some new person, just my luck | |
| <frederific> I mean, whats a 12 worth? mild peril? | |
| <sampbar> yep lol... maybe they have had problems in the past | |
| * gord wishes he was 18 again, i would spend it actually doing stuff instead of getting drunk and doing nothing | |
| <frederific> People think I'm odd, I'm like the only person I know who doesn't drink | |
| * sampbar wouldnt mind having an linux install fest on his 18th | |
| <X3N> that would be rather boring | |
| <frederific> hmmmm, installfest with strippers... | |
| <sampbar> nah just install fest | |
| <gord> just invite as many people as you can to a designated place, make sure there is lots of beer and you are guarenteed to have a great 18th, even if you can't remember it | |
| <loudmouthman> Gazzak post your image on flickr and ill stumble/digg it I loved that quick mock up | |
| <sampbar> what was that mockup anyway? | |

| <GazzaK> 7724 \o/ | |
| <oly-> lol, sampbar add a zero then its a more reasonable score, when you submit your score submit it to ubuntu-uk and you can see every one elses scores | |
| <sampbar> 1124034 = 640 | |
| <oly-> the top score is currently 6815, by DaveMorris | |
| <sampbar> :P | |
| * mrben must resist the urge to play DTD | |
| <frederific> don't fight it mrben | |
| <frederific> just accept it | |
| <GazzaK> it's fun | |
| <GazzaK> and has good fun levels for when it gets too much | |
| <loudmouthman> one of us - one of us - one of u s- one of us - one of us - one of us | |
| * sampbar doesnt see what people see in DTD | |
| <frederific> get him! | |
| <loudmouthman> ive heard that comment on here before and the point is FUN | |
| <loudmouthman> ACTION lifts his arm and points towards sampbar , he opens his mouth and utters an alien and terrifying screech, soon Daviey , Gazzak and oly- join in the whole channel screeching and pointing towards sampbar . sampbar bolts for the exit but is pulled down by the channel ops and dragged towards the processing room. GazzaK follows behind carrying a strange alien plant like pod. The door closes as we hear desperate screams from the ro | |
| <loudmouthman> sampbar, just sleep and soon all the questions all the worries all the concerns will disappear. | |
| <sampbar> loudmouthman: it cut off at "from the r" | |
| <loudmouthman> from the room . | |
| <sampbar> lol ok | |
| <sampbar> mmm... slightly worried about my laptop... just looked at the philips site and they dont have anything to do wtih laptops | |
| <loudmouthman> philips make laptops . they make some lovely sub notebooks . | |
| <sampbar> ive got the philips freevents x53 for school... only person in the school which uses a laptop in every lesson! :D | |
| <sampbar> just wanted to contact support as the hinge covers on the corners keep dropping off so i wanted to see if i could get replacements | |
| <sampbar> its getting a bit battered being in my school bag every day (in a case of course) :( lots of cosmetic scratches :P | |
| <loudmouthman> well if you will use it | |
| <sampbar> lmm: ? | |
| <loudmouthman> sampbar, hmm ? | |
| <sampbar> "well if you will use it" it just confused me a bit | |
| <GazzaK> sampbar: he is saying if you USE something, it gets worn | |
| <oly-> DTD i think is made worse by the fact its got peoples high scores from this channel | |
| <sampbar> GazzaK: yeah just worked that out lol... im really slow today | |
| <oly-> so you kind of have a need to beat them :p | |
| <oly-> or at least attempt and fail miserably | |
| <GazzaK> oly-: or just admit defeat | |
| <GazzaK> NEVER | |
| <GazzaK> I got told off just now for playing it :p | |
| <oly-> lol, yeah | |
| <GazzaK> well, not told off, more taken the mikey out of | |
| <oly-> i just had to kick my girlfriend of it | |
| <oly-> because going to tescos to get food to eat is more important than your high score | |
| * sampbar thinks oly-'s project will never be completed if he gets addicted to DTD | |
| <oly-> at least thats what i am trying to convice her | |
| <oly-> lol, yeah i do need to get back into that, but the session management code was doing my head in :p | |
| <sampbar> hehe | |
| <oly-> annoyingly it should be simple as well | |
| <sampbar> mysql add/delete/modify next i think i might just cheat and intergrate phpmyadmin | |
| <sampbar> ok all vote now: cheat or use a simple self built add/delete? | |
| <loudmouthman> just learn to use adodb | |
| <sampbar> grrr.... just found out that pcworld have bought the rights to use the name "philips" and actually designed and made my laptop :( | |

| <GazzaK> sampbar: so it's a load of rubbish then | |
| <mrben> GazzaK: not quie | |
| <mrben> it's load of *expensive* rubbish | |
| <sampbar> GazzaK: its fine until something goes wrong | |
| <SpudULike> Anyone about to help me with a problem of 'System load' which is floating about near the 100% mark making a machine very unresponsive! I think it's all down to hard disk activity. What can I run to see what is putting a load on my system? | |
| <sampbar> SpudULike: have you tried the obvious? Rebooting | |
| <SpudULike> This is a recurrent problem which I usually sort out with a re-boot, but I would like to get to the bottom of what's causing it. | |
| <mgdm> SpudULike: Have you tried 'top' or similar programs in a terminal? | |
| <SpudULike> mgdm, I have. It's not a CPU issue, that's barely being used. I need something like top but for other system resources. | |
| <mgdm> You can re-order the output in top based on anything that it measures | |
| <SpudULike> I have a panel app that looks at 'load' and that's gone all red, but I need some detail. | |
| <mgdm> is your hard drive doing very much when this happens? | |
| <sampbar> have you checked the temp of the hd? | |
| <sampbar> SpudULike: try popey's guide: http://popey.com/Am_I_Hot_Or_Not | |
| <SpudULike> mgdm, yes, the hard drive light is constantly on. sampbar, I expect it to be hot, though I have no way of measuring. | |
| <sampbar> SpudULike: that will tell you the temperature etc. | |
| <X3N> i would have thought if thre is something causing your load to go up so much it would be resonably obvious in "top" | |
| <X3N> hard drive temperature is unlikely to affect the load averages really | |
| <SpudULike> top - 17:43:37 up 2 days, 4:32, 2 users, load average: 0.02, 0.06, 0.05 | |
| <SpudULike> Tasks: 117 total, 2 running, 115 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie | |
| <SpudULike> Cpu(s): 0.7%us, 0.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 98.8%id, 0.0%wa, 0.2%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st | |
| <SpudULike> Mem: 1035540k total, 992652k used, 42888k free, 228484k buffers | |
| <SpudULike> Swap: 3068404k total, 0k used, 3068404k free, 562472k cached | |
| <X3N> that's all normal then | |
| <SpudULike> But where does thjs 'load' panel applet get it's info prom/ | |
| <X3N> the average system load | |
| <X3N> ie load average: 0.02, 0.06, 0.05 | |
| <SpudULike> X3N, but how do I find out what that is, like I can with top for cpu usage? | |
| <X3N> 17:41 < SpudULike> top - 17:43:37 up 2 days, 4:32, 2 users, load average: 0.02, 0.06, 0.05 | |
| <SpudULike> Ah. | |
| <mgdm> the "uptime" command gives you that too | |
| <SpudULike> Even bigger AH! My ssh session had failed to the 'loaded' machine, those figures are for an OK system <Shame> | |
| <SpudULike> It takes ages to get the session re-established, because of the load! | |
| <X3N> easily done | |
| <SpudULike> It wouldn't be so easily done if I'd chosen some sensible machine names! | |
| <SpudULike> I still can't get in remotely, though I can see load average 38.57 38.64 35.20 on the wired terminal. I take it that's not normal! | |
| <SpudULike> I think the problem here lies with Evolution, I've just killed it an the system has been brought back under control. Anyone know of any disk thrashing issues with Evolution? | |
| <sampbar> Evolution E = Evil | |
| <sampbar> try thunderbird | |
| <mgdm> Evolution is nasty 'orrible stuff :) | |
| <spd106> Woo hoo I've broken into the top 20 on DTD | |
| <sampbar> ahhhhh... another addict! | |
| <spd106> No really, I've only played 4 times | |

| <cinex> wow. stwater still wont work for my ip. works with 'the-cloak' though | |
| <cinex> is it me or the website? | |
| <cinex> I cant ping it or anything | |
| <LoudMouthMan> just filled out a questionare about my astmha : one of the questions was "if youve been investigaed in hospital for your illness what were the results " : now I am thinking the answer is probably Asthma | |
| <cinex> perhaps it wants your peak flow ? | |
| <cinex> or the amount of steriods you require during an attack | |
| <LoudMouthMan> blow that | |
| <LoudMouthMan> all of them ! | |
| <LoudMouthMan> mwoohahahah I love osteoperosis ! | |
| <cinex> why cant I access stware.co.uk | |
| <cinex> emails... | |
| <cinex> see what the bounce says | |
| <sampbar> LMM: you love osetoperosis? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> sampbar, yes its a uhm side effect of having to many of the drugs I require to treat being an Asthmatic. | |
| <sampbar> :( not good | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Yeah id say it sucks, but really its a bit of a wheeze. | |
| <cinex> selinuxium: are you around ? | |
| <mgdm> LoudMouthMan: never heard of that before, and I have asthma too | |
| <sampbar> depends which drugs he uses and severity of his asthma | |
| <mgdm> true | |
| <cinex> who here has blueyonder as their ISP ? | |
| <sampbar> u mean virgin digital | |
| <sampbar> *virgin media | |
| <cinex> no. blueyonder (in the addy) | |
| <cinex> ie, for me its, telf.blueyonder.co.uk | |
| <sampbar> im ntl | |
| <selinuxium> cinex: yep | |
| <LoudMouthMan> mgdm, you havent? eep you should look up what Corticosteroid does for long term users. | |
| <cinex> could you do me a huge favour selinuxium: check www.stwater.co.uk (and/or ping it) | |
| <cinex> my email to a made up stwater.co.uk address has failed to boucne too | |
| <cinex> so I imgaine it was 'dropped' when it got there | |
| <cinex> oh no. it came back | |
| <selinuxium> cinex: send an email to echo@uk.psi.com it will send an auto reply | |
| <cinex> whats it do? (I know the OED websitre return my emails lableed as spam) | |
| <cinex> did you try it selinuxium ? | |
| <selinuxium> cinex: sorry, mis read your first post. it is possible that the range that you are on has been blacklisted. it happened to me only yesterday while trying to email barings... | |
| <selinuxium> cinex: stwater.co.uk doesn't exist does it? | |
| <cinex> great innit. I am gonna get fined cos they blocked my ip (late bill) | |
| <cinex> yes selinuxium its severn trent water | |
| <selinuxium> cinex: what are you trying to achieve? | |
| <selinuxium> cinex: there website appears to b edown. | |
| <cinex> http://www.the-cloak.com/Cloaked/+cfg=32/http%3A//www.stwater.co.uk/server.php?show=nav.6134 | |
| <cinex> they have barred the whole ISP ? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> and now for something completely different: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sciuridae_jocularis/37505360/ | |
| <cinex> its not fair. | |
| <selinuxium> cinex: possibly, but can anyone else see it? | |
| <cinex> yes. I can when I cloak it and someone in there the other day/week got it to load | |
| <LoudMouthMan> I can see it . | |
| <cinex> in here* | |
| <selinuxium> cinex: if someone else can get to it, install TOR and do it that way | |
| <cinex> use my credit card through it? No thanks! | |
| <mgdm> LoudMouthMan: Hmmm, uhoh | |
| <selinuxium> cinex: ah.... There seems to be some reason for blocking a load of blueyonder/telewest/virgin ranges at the mo... | |
| <cinex> how can blueyonder let themselves be out on a bloody spam list? | |
| <cinex> it will be one of those lists loads of places pay to use I bet | |
| <cinex> if it didn't cost so much money to call them I would phone up and shout at them | |
| <LoudMouthMan> mgdm, uh oh ? | |
| <selinuxium> cinex: i got this in a returned email... 553-mail rejected because your IP is in RBL. See 553 http://www.mail-abuse.com/enduserinfo.html | |
| <LoudMouthMan> cinex, selinuxium this is probably a peering issue between nt-hell and vaguely isp | |
| <selinuxium> LoudMouthMan: read above. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> selinuxium, i am . i got it . sorry i was . ughm buttin in . | |
| <mgdm> LoudMouthMan: I've been on those things for years. | |
| <selinuxium> LoudMouthMan: not butting in at all! :) just making sure you saw the last post as I hit it just before you did! :) | |
| <selinuxium> cinex: LoudMouthMan: Gotta bail out fo ra while, daughter needs a cards partner! | |
| <cinex> LoudMouthMan: not jsut email. I cant access the site at all | |
| <LoudMouthMan> mgdm, yep ., its nice when your GP informs you aint it ? mind you my Sister is a nurse so I have the benefit of overinformation. | |
| <selinuxium> cinex, me either... | |
| <LoudMouthMan> cinex, I can what ISP are you an selinuxium with ? | |
| <cinex> we have blueyonder addresse | |
| <LoudMouthMan> this sometimes happened with BT | |
| <selinuxium> LoudMouthMan: Blueyonder/Virgin | |
| <LoudMouthMan> yeah its going to be a peering / routing issue with your ISP and the net. | |
| <selinuxium> LoudMouthMan: there have been strange things happening at virgin as they slowly move everything over to the one place. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> BT used to do this to some of my clients such that it was not possible to connect to their server over the net from ntl/virgin. | |
| <cinex> hmmmmm | |
| <selinuxium> cya later all :) | |
| <cinex> have fi selinuxium | |
| <cinex> fun | |
| <LoudMouthMan> i would suspect/suggest that its likely some one has not remembered to add a route to a router thingy .. | |
| <cinex> for one website? | |
| <cinex> how ddo you check other websites in the same region or whatever | |
| <LoudMouthMan> cinex, well the website will be on a host with other domains so check with netcraft to see what other people are hosting there. its the IP thats not routing I would think . | |
| <cinex> could do yeah | |
| <cinex> need coffee first though | |
| <cinex> whats the command to look up addresse? whois ? | |
| <cinex> ns4.demysdns.co.uk | |
| <cinex> ? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> nah i just use netcraft and look at whats that ste running then start explornig | |
| <cinex> well i cant reach that nameserver | |
| <LoudMouthMan> wha ? www.netcraft.com ? | |
| <cinex> ns4.demysdns.co.uk | |
| <cinex> can get demys.com though | |
| <popey> moo | |
| <popey> cinex: host | |
| <cinex> /etc/host? | |
| <popey> alan@mother:~$ host popey.com | |
| <popey> popey.com has address 212.13.194.80 | |
| <popey> popey.com mail is handled by 19 mail.popey.com. | |
| <cinex> oh | |
| <cinex> thanks lol. got confused for a min | |
| <spd106> or you can use dig | |
| <cinex> this netcraft just tells me what o/s the site works on ? | |
| <cinex> 1.www.stwater.co.ukOctober 1999Pasporte is a UK based ISPWindows Server 2003 | |
| <LoudMouthMan> cinex, it also shows you the netblock owner and other sites on that block | |
| <LoudMouthMan> if you surf around it a bit | |
| <cinex> o sites were found in the netblock 'FTIP002864495 Equant Holdings Uk Ltd'. | |
| <cinex> I get that error for each one | |
| <LoudMouthMan> there you go then someone on your side of the net has screwed up a routing request with their peers then . | |
| <LoudMouthMan> your packets are arriving via one path and attempting to return via another and then not finding a way back to you I suspect. | |
| <cinex> im spoofin eh | |
| <LoudMouthMan> uhm not quite . but close enough to describe the problem . | |
| <LoudMouthMan> still hey youve learned how the net can break down eh | |
| <cinex> http and it wants account information - takes the piss! | |
| <Daviey> hmm | |
| <Daviey> I'm here | |
| <cinex> subnet mask ? NIC MAC address? | |
| * Daviey feels that his ears are burning | |
| <Daviey> better read scrollback to see what people have been saying behind his back.. | |
| <Daviey> ah | |
| <Daviey> popey: were you wondering about team mythtv blessing? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> cinex, theres nothing you should be chaging at your end of the connection since your end isnt broken its your ISP thats having trouble. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> meanwhile cinex you might want to find a external proxy to surf against. | |
