| 08:54 | <@adamg> | just found a nice backup script for debian, designed to copy stuff to CD, but it can be modified so it doesnt |

| 09:17 | <@mikegrb> | morning wap |
| 09:17 | <wap> | Morning Mike |
| 09:18 | <@adamg> | ok time for a stupid question |
| 09:18 | | * wap is writting his resume for a job application |
| 09:18 | <@adamg> | how do you set the hostname and domainname under debian |
| 09:18 | <@adamg> | it has been a long day |
| 09:18 | <@mikegrb> | the only stupid question is the question not asked |
| 09:19 | <@mikegrb> | as for the hostname, look for a file like /etc/hostname |
| 09:19 | <@adamg> | yeah I managed to remeber that bit! |
| 09:19 | <@mikegrb> | ahh |
| 09:19 | <@mikegrb> | look for a /bin/domainname |
| 09:20 | <@adamg> | for some reason I can not remember anything today |
| 09:20 | <@mikegrb> | looks like it can set both |
| 09:20 | <wap> | and as for the domain name, it's in /etc/hosts I think |
| 09:27 | <@adamg> | you set it all in the one file, /etc/hostname |
| 09:28 | <wap> | cool |
| 09:31 | <@adamg> | anyone used a program called changetrack |
| 09:36 | <shakr> | i just haxorized my bios to not display the oem logo and i updated the intel pxe boot agent woot! |
| 09:39 | <@mikegrb> | does it now display the linode logo instead? |
| 09:40 | <@adamg> | why is openssl such a pain and puts include and lib in non standard places |
| 09:41 | <shakr> | i suppose i could replace the energy star logo with something linuxy |
| 09:41 | <shakr> | but the full screen TOSHIBA screen at every boot was getting on my nerves |
| 09:47 | <@adamg> | anyone used stow before? |
| 10:08 | <@adamg> | the debian site is still screwed |
| 10:19 | <@adamg> | chris you about? |

| 11:57 | <@caker> | hello |
| 11:58 | <tjfontaine> | hi |
| 11:58 | <@adamg> | hi |
| 12:00 | <@adamg> | chris how does the linode CP know what config is booted |
| 12:00 | <@caker> | it looks for the last boot and uses that config as the default in the drop-down |
| 12:01 | <@adamg> | ok and if the config which was booted is deleted what happens then |
| 12:01 | <@caker> | I think it selects the first one |
| 12:02 | <@adamg> | and which one does it think is booted |
| 12:02 | <@caker> | it doesn't -- this only affects the drop-down box |
| 12:02 | <@adamg> | ok then |
| 12:03 | <@adamg> | I has two configs, one was booted |
| 12:03 | <@adamg> | i deleted the config and drive for the booted config |
| 12:03 | <@adamg> | i then tried to resize a disk on the config which was not booted but it told me I couldnt bc it was booted |
| 12:04 | <@caker> | Yeah -- that's a limitation |
| 12:04 | <@caker> | it doesn't keep track of which images are in use |
| 12:05 | <@adamg> | but yet it lets you delete the images for a config which is booted |
| 12:05 | <@caker> | that's ok -- since they're still referenced by the UML process, they won't go away until you shutdown |
| 12:06 | <@adamg> | just seems a bit strange |

| 12:21 | <Quik> | are there major problems at TP? |
| 12:22 | <Quik> | 400ms pings and plenty of packet loss |
| 12:22 | <@adamg> | it is possible that they could have lost a pipe and bgp is reconverging |
| 12:23 | <Quik> | most of the bnc's on my linode have gone down too, about an hour ago though |
| 12:24 | <Quik> | www.quiks.co.uk/tp1.gif |
| 12:29 | <@caker> | Quik: when I trace to that IP, it avoids verio and is 37ms and 16 hops away |
| 12:31 | <Quik> | meaning? :x |
| 12:31 | <@adamg> | quick you got an ip |
| 12:31 | <@caker> | meaning: looks like the problem is within verio's network |
| 12:31 | <@caker> | which you happen to be going through, atm |
| 12:31 | <Quik> | 64.5.53.250 |
| 12:31 | <Quik> | ok |
| 12:32 | <Quik> | you seem to be right caker |
| 12:32 | <@adamg> | i get there in 13 hops, which is less than usual |
| 12:32 | <@caker> | Quik: which host is that IP? |
| 12:32 | <Quik> | tracing to ev1servers shows the same problems, and that routes via verio too |
| 12:33 | <Quik> | 64.5.53.250 is host 2 |
| 12:33 | <@adamg> | i get their throw level3 |
| 12:34 | <@adamg> | ev1 are showing no status reports with verio, there are showing that 2 trans-contiental mfn links have been lost |
| 12:34 | <@caker> | I should put up a looking-glass facility |
| 12:35 | <@adamg> | you could do but there are many out there |
| 12:35 | <Quik> | let me test from tp to ev1 |
| 12:37 | <Quik> | times out after hop 6, don't know what that shows |
| 12:37 | <@adamg> | all of my verio trafic is been routed for level3 to amsterdam then on to verio |
| 12:37 | <Quik> | unless by that point it's reached ev1 |
| 12:39 | <@adamg> | looks like a verio link or 2 are down, I get to ev1 via twtelecom |
| 12:47 | <@adamg> | verio going into theplanet seems to be fine |
| 12:52 | <@adamg> | quik are you traceroutes any better now |
| 12:53 | <Quik> | still pinging 350ms, a little less packet loss though |
| 12:54 | <Quik> | only 14% now |
| 12:54 | <@adamg> | i have gone through 4 looking glasses 3 of them went through verio |
| 12:54 | <EFudd> | http://www.aaa-cheap-auto-insurance-quote.com/DeadlyCars.htm |
| 12:55 | <@adamg> | http://www.traceroute.org is a very good site |
| 12:56 | <EFudd> | www.geektools.org ! |
| 12:56 | <@adamg> | and that domain is supposed to go where efudd |
| 12:57 | <EFudd> | ah, .com |
| 12:59 | <Quik> | www.quiks.co.uk/tp1.gif <- better? :x |
| 12:59 | <@caker> | that's a lot of hops :( |
| 12:59 | <@adamg> | at least verio is back in the mix |
| 13:00 | <@caker> | 11 verio hops |
| 13:00 | <@adamg> | there routing via amsterdam |
| 13:00 | <Quik> | we don't like verio |
| 13:00 | <Quik> | :< |
| 13:02 | <@adamg> | looks like the uk-us link is down for verio |
| 13:05 | <Quik> | have they got a status page that you know of? |
| 13:05 | <@adamg> | i had a look, looks like the verio status pages a customer only access |
| 13:05 | <Quik> | handy beasts they are |
| 13:07 | <@adamg> | with the two mfn links been down as well it would appear there is a problem |
| 13:16 | <Quik> | :/ |
| 13:42 | <Quik> | looks like they're slowly fixing it |

| 19:36 | <EFudd> | :-) |
| 19:36 | <tjfontaine> | is that for real |
| 19:37 | <Quik> | somewhat dodgy if ya ask me (the pasting bit) |
| 19:37 | <EFudd> | i'm prety sure it's a pricing mistake |
| 19:37 | <EFudd> | just order |
| 19:37 | <EFudd> | ;-) |
| 19:37 | <tjfontaine> | or just a booboo they will have to honor right? |
| 19:37 | <@mikegrb> | heh |
| 19:37 | <EFudd> | quik, that's an issue on your end. not smlnk. |
| 19:37 | <tjfontaine> | cause I've got hte money |
| 19:37 | | * mikegrb has 46" widescreen |
| 19:37 | <EFudd> | tjfontaine, in 1998, I received 40 20gig harddrives for the price of 2 |
| 19:37 | <EFudd> | due to something similiar |
| 19:37 | <EFudd> | just order if you can use it. |
| 19:37 | <EFudd> | they won't bill you $1100 :-) |
| 19:37 | <@mikegrb> | right |
| 19:37 | <@mikegrb> | like the dell error |
| 19:37 | <tjfontaine> | I will deny the order if htey do :-) |
| 19:37 | <@adamg> | they are supposed to owner the first order |
| 19:37 | <@adamg> | honor even |
| 19:37 | <@mikegrb> | 2 ghz system for 150 with monitor a few weeks back |
| 19:38 | <EFudd> | they will cancel or ask first |
| 19:38 | <tjfontaine> | bah in my shopping cart its $600 |
| 19:38 | <EFudd> | ha! |
| 19:38 | <EFudd> | changed price already ! |
| 19:38 | <tjfontaine> | on the screen its still 279 |
| 19:39 | <EFudd> | so |
| 19:39 | <EFudd> | ;-) |
| 19:39 | <EFudd> | refresh |
| 19:39 | <tjfontaine> | but when I put it in my shopping cart price goes up |
| 19:39 | <tjfontaine> | I did |
| 19:39 | <tjfontaine> | a bunch of times |
| 19:39 | <@mikegrb> | heh |
| 19:39 | <@mikegrb> | still not too bad a deal |
| 19:39 | <tjfontaine> | no... but my parents just lost their christmas present :-) |
| 19:39 | <EFudd> | :-) |
| 19:40 | <EFudd> | i orderd first |
| 19:40 | <tjfontaine> | s/my parents/I/ |
| 19:40 | <EFudd> | then looked up the product info |
| 19:40 | <EFudd> | ;-) |
| 19:40 | <EFudd> | those deals disappear quickly |
| 19:40 | <tjfontaine> | I'll give you $350 for it :-0 |
| 19:40 | <EFudd> | :) |
| 19:40 | <EFudd> | now to see if i get it |
| 19:40 | <tjfontaine> | hehe |
| 19:40 | <@adamg> | strange I clicked on the order link twice and got one on there for 600 and one for 279 both under a different desc |
| 19:40 | <EFudd> | interesting |
| 19:40 | <EFudd> | :) |
| 19:41 | <@adamg> | 32HF73 for 279 |

| 20:05 | <tjfontaine> | hehe |
| 20:06 | <EFudd> | a few years back, one of the online stores were selling harddrives |
| 20:06 | <EFudd> | their online database was derived from the manufactures part number |
| 20:06 | <EFudd> | the manufacture used the same part # for singles and 20-packs |
| 20:06 | <tjfontaine> | hehe |
| 20:06 | <EFudd> | so for a few hours ona saturday evening, the 20 packs of the drives were for sell |
| 20:06 | <EFudd> | the best part is this |
| 20:07 | <EFudd> | they were a large company who used ingram micro for storage |
| 20:07 | <EFudd> | ingram micro, if you are a large company, provides live trackin of product. |
| 20:07 | <EFudd> | We could literally watch the stock go down as it was being shipped out real-time. |
| 20:07 | <tjfontaine> | heh |
| 20:07 | <EFudd> | with that said, we all bought 1 box |
| 20:07 | <EFudd> | then went back to buy multi-boxes |
| 20:07 | <EFudd> | one guy, received 10 boxes |
| 20:07 | <EFudd> | they stopped many of them @ shipping |
| 20:07 | <EFudd> | tried to recall otehrs |
| 20:07 | <EFudd> | etc.. |
| 20:07 | <EFudd> | ended up LYING to the consumer 3 times during emails |
| 20:08 | <EFudd> | there was another deal with monitors |
| 20:08 | <EFudd> | company shipped out the ones in stock |
| 20:08 | <EFudd> | then canceled backorders |
| 20:08 | <EFudd> | they got sued and the class action won |
| 20:14 | <@adamg> | nite all |
| 20:38 | <tjfontaine> | <Hawkwind> i just hung up with target.com and ive got some news from them.............<Hawkwind> they say if you check their pricing policy it states that if the price is found to be higher, they will contact you and give you the choice of paying the full amount or cancelling your order |
| 20:38 | <tjfontaine> | <Hawkwind> they also said that YES its the price listed, however, they are investigating the matter as they feel it MIGHT be a mistake |
| 20:50 | <EFudd> | grrr |
| 20:50 | <EFudd> | [msg(hawkwind)][msg(hawkwind)] stop calling target!@#!@# |
| 20:52 | <EFudd> | Availability: We're sorry. This item is temporarily |
| 20:52 | <EFudd> | unavailable. |
| 21:05 | <@mikegrb> | heh |
| 21:05 | <EFudd> | someone claims to have pricemwatched the local store against website |
| 21:05 | <EFudd> | and done pickup |

| 21:59 | <EFudd> | FUCK ebtables |
| 21:59 | <EFudd> | really frustrated with losing my connection when someone reboots their damn linode |
| 21:59 | <@mikegrb> | is that what has been happening to you? |
| 22:00 | <EFudd> | yes |
| 22:00 | <EFudd> | really fokkin' annoying thing too |
| 22:00 | <EFudd> | connection to host works, linode dies |
| 22:00 | <@mikegrb> | crazy |
| 22:01 | <@mikegrb> | have you talked to caker about it? |
| 22:01 | <@mikegrb> | sighup: linode forums |
| 22:01 | <sighup> | mikegrb: General Discussion: Getting disconnected ; Sales Questions and Answers: Debian Image ; Linux Tips, Tricks, Tutorials: HOWTO: Set up an Invision ... ; Linode.com Announcements: Fedora Core 1 distro ... ; Linux Tips, Tricks, Tutorials: HOWTO - Transfering /whatever ... |
| 22:01 | <@mikegrb> | is that you, the first one? |
| 22:03 | <EFudd> | damnit |
| 22:03 | <EFudd> | i'm at the mercy of some fucking idiot rebooting now |
| 22:03 | <EFudd> | that's again |
| 22:03 | <EFudd> | mike, yeah. said it requires a host reboot to be scheduled |
| 22:04 | <@mikegrb> | crazy |
| 22:04 | <@mikegrb> | just a linode on your host causes this? |
| 22:04 | <EFudd> | apparently. |
| 22:06 | <@mikegrb> | crazy |
| 22:07 | <EFudd> | kinda frustrating. |
| 22:07 | <EFudd> | had someone rebooting like 5x times the other day in a row |
| 22:07 | <LokiVidalez> | wtf |
| 22:07 | <LokiVidalez> | how do they have access to reboot your linode |
| 22:09 | <EFudd> | You missed the point. |
| 22:09 | <EFudd> | not -mine- |
| 22:10 | <LokiVidalez> | you are a customer of the linode? |
| 22:18 | <@mikegrb> | yes |
| 22:18 | <LokiVidalez> | ah |
| 22:18 | <@mikegrb> | but if someone rebooted their linode on the same system his had network problems |
| 22:19 | <tjfontaine> | which is frustrating |
| 22:19 | <tjfontaine> | of course |
| 22:19 | <LokiVidalez> | why would he? |
| 22:19 | <LokiVidalez> | some werid thing |
| 22:19 | <LokiVidalez> | You know what caker should amke |
| 22:19 | <LokiVidalez> | a powered by linode icon |

| 22:21 | <tjfontaine> | my order is still open |

| 22:28 | <@mikegrb> | if they say they have both tell them we use linux |
| 22:30 | <@caker> | EFudd: three reboots on host6 -- 60 min ago, 30 min ago, and about 25 min ago |
| 22:34 | <EFudd> | yeah |
| 22:34 | <EFudd> | i noticed |
| 22:34 | <EFudd> | :/ |
| 22:36 | | * EFudd boggles why folk reboot |
| 22:36 | <tjfontaine> | windows mentality |
| 22:36 | <EFudd> | actually, I wonder why people reboot XP too |
| 22:36 | <EFudd> | other than an app telling them they need to. which in most cases is incorrect. |
| 22:36 | <EFudd> | even when M$ recommends a reboot |
| 22:37 | <tjfontaine> | for firewalling changes? |
| 22:37 | <tjfontaine> | (on xp) |
| 22:37 | <EFudd> | much of the time, simply logging off/on will be of use. |
| 22:37 | <EFudd> | uh, why would someone use XP's firewall? |
| 22:37 | <tjfontaine> | heh |
| 22:37 | <@caker> | Your mouse has moved. Windows NT must be restarted for changes to take affect. |
| 22:37 | <EFudd> | and moreover, why would it require a reboot.... |
| 22:37 | <EFudd> | caker, I find XP much more tolerant. |
| 22:37 | <@caker> | good -- i'm still on 2k |
| 22:37 | <tjfontaine> | if they do use XP firewall it does require a restart for changes to take place |
| 22:37 | <EFudd> | I've done initital sound card installations, video driver upgrades, etc without reboots |
| 22:37 | <EFudd> | my XP machines average about 60 days uptime. |
| 22:37 | <tjfontaine> | same with w2k |
| 22:38 | <inkblot> | ha ha |
| 22:38 | <EFudd> | one of my laptops crashes more regular than that due to a hardware problem. |
| 22:38 | <EFudd> | my self-built xp machines only shut down for hardware changes. |
