| 15:21 | <@caker> | afv: shouldn't be |
| 15:22 | <afv> | cool, i just got worried when the form didn't ask for the new CCV2 code |
| 15:24 | <@mikegrb> | ccv can't be stored |
| 15:24 | <@mikegrb> | visa doesn't allow it |
| 15:25 | <afv> | isn't it required when you request the money from mastercard? |
| 15:26 | <@mikegrb> | no |
| 15:26 | <@mikegrb> | ccv get's passed to the issuing bank |
| 15:26 | <@mikegrb> | they choose what to do if it isn't there/is wrong |
| 15:26 | <@mikegrb> | but it isn't alowed to be stored by the merchant |
| 15:27 | <afv> | so if it is an issue they'll let me know? |
| 15:27 | <@mikegrb> | well, if it's a problem they won't auth charges ;) |
| 15:27 | <afv> | so i'll only know when i can't access my linode anymore |
| 15:27 | <@mikegrb> | nah, we'll let you know ;) |
| 15:28 | <afv> | cool :p |
| 15:29 | <@mikegrb> | for recurrent charges what normally happens is the ccv is there on the first charge (when you signup) and in following months it gets authed since there was a previous similiar charge from the same merchant (this is for those banks that require ccv) |
| 15:29 | <@mikegrb> | some don't care at all |
| 15:29 | <@mikegrb> | if your bank is one of those that must have it the first time, when the charges don't go through you can just call them and they will just want to know that it is okay and then they will permit it from then on |
| 15:31 | <afv> | sounds easy enough |

| 19:10 | [~] | msmiffy speaks from experience. |
| 19:12 | <msmiffy> | I _do_ suggest that people record that information, as the Linode site has been down before. |
| 19:12 | <msmiffy> | Would be nice if it came through with the signup mail... |
| 19:12 | <msmiffy> | (hint, hint) |

| 19:16 | <erikh> | I just made a shell alias |

| 19:20 | <robert11> | hi linode |
| 19:20 | <Mel> | I've got everything scripted and backed-up... just having a bear of a time trying to get to 2.6 on FC2 |
| 19:20 | <robert11> | fan bloody tastic |
| 19:20 | <msmiffy> | Hmm, sorry, no suggestions here as I'm on Gentoo. |
| 19:23 | <Mel> | Did your profile come initially as 2.6 kernel? |
| 19:25 | <msmiffy> | Um, think that the defaults are 2.4 - changing to 2.6 is the first thing I do, before first boot IIRC. |
| 19:25 | <Mel> | Hmm, didn't try that. I've got two root disks, will be a fine test. |
| 19:26 | <Mel> | Booting 2.6 gives me: "ubda: unknown partition table" during init |
| 19:27 | <msmiffy> | If you have two partitions, is one blank, and is it trying to boot the blank one? |
| 19:29 | <@mikegrb> | unknown partition table is fine |
| 19:29 | <@mikegrb> | since there is no partition table |
| 19:29 | <Mel> | no, both have FC2 images on them |
| 19:29 | <@mikegrb> | it would be like mkfs /dev/hdb rather then partitioning hdb |
| 19:33 | <msmiffy> | Virtual machines adds a whole new dimension to confusing ;-) |
| 19:36 | <Mel> | No luck. FC2 image won't boot with 2.6 kernel even on new image. |
| 19:37 | <@mikegrb> | what's the last thing it says? |
| 19:38 | <Mel> | "VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly."... then nothing |
| 19:38 | <@mikegrb> | with latest 2.6? |
| 19:38 | <Mel> | yep |
| 19:39 | <@caker> | Mel: the host you're on requires a kernel upgrade in order to fix that |
| 19:39 | <Mel> | ah, caker... could've saved me so much time ;-) |
| 19:39 | <@mikegrb> | host 62? |
| 19:39 | <@caker> | mikegrb: yeah |
| 19:39 | <Mel> | yep ;-) |
| 19:40 | <@mikegrb> | odd |
| 19:40 | <@caker> | Mel: you could try 2.6.20-linode27, but I doubt it's any different |
| 19:40 | <Mel> | ok... will try |
| 19:41 | <Mel> | same |
| 19:42 | <Mel> | do you have an ETA for the upgrade? |
| 19:42 | <@caker> | figured. -- we'll schedule a reboot for it soonish |
| 19:42 | <@caker> | next weekend or so? |
| 19:42 | <Mel> | ok, I can wait |
| 19:44 | <Mel> | Other than my vm's uptime, how will I be able to know the reboot has happened? |
| 19:45 | <@caker> | Mel: we'll email everyone a notice with the reboot date/time, at least a few days beforehand |
| 19:45 | <Mel> | great! BTW, the setup you've got is really nice. |

| 19:49 | <@mikegrb> | encode: looks like they have same root for all of them |
| 19:49 | <encode> | mikegrb: how can you tell? |
| 19:49 | <@mikegrb> | encode: so the difference looks to be level of work they put into verification |
| 19:49 | <encode> | ahh |
| 19:50 | <@mikegrb> | encode: and then providing seals and site identifier codes and such so that the customer "trusts" you more |
| 19:50 | <@mikegrb> | encode: get the 9.95 one, you will be happy with that |
| 19:50 | <encode> | well its only needed for something that we're providing to a customer's intranet - so verification isnt much of a problem |
| 19:50 | <encode> | just to remove the untrusted signer warning |
| 19:50 | <encode> | which confuses people |
| 19:50 | <encode> | (apparently) |
| 19:51 | <encode> | mikegrb: ok, thanks for your help. again. |
| 19:51 | <Mel> | you can upload your own CA cert if it's for an intranet |
| 19:51 | <Mel> | *** upload your own CA cert to your users' browsers |
| 19:51 | <encode> | Mel: no, we can't - we dont have control over the client's intranet |
| 19:51 | <encode> | and the users dont have permissions to install certificates |
| 19:52 | <@mikegrb> | yeah, so that 9.95 one will likely work, and if not, 30 day money back |
| 19:52 | <Mel> | bummer... you're on the path then ;-) |
| 19:52 | <@mikegrb> | I think that's the cheapest I've seen |
| 19:53 | <msmiffy> | I've paid fifteen Australian, similar sort of price. |

| 19:55 | <msmiffy> | Just out of interest, how would lish keys work if my user name on my local system isn't the same on the Linode? |
| 19:56 | <@mikegrb> | ssh username@hostXX.linode.com |
| 19:57 | <Mel> | or ssh -l username hostxx.linode.com (if you're using a messed up version of ssh) |
| 19:57 | <msmiffy> | And it would still take my normal id_dsa.pub? |
| 19:58 | <msmiffy> | That belongs to a different user name? |
| 20:02 | <@caker> | the ssh client grabs keys relative to the running user's home, so yes |
| 20:04 | <msmiffy> | Doh! Wish I'd known that about three years ago... Thanks, Chris. |
| 20:04 | [~] | msmiffy does lish login with public key. Woohoo! |
| 20:05 | <@mikegrb> | lolz |
| 20:05 | <Mel> | lol |
| 20:05 | <msmiffy> | Um, how does one interrupt a lish session? In other words, how to bail out without killing the entire terminal session? |
| 20:06 | <@caker> | control-a then d to get to the lish menu prompt |
| 20:06 | <ajmitch> | ctrl+a d |
| 20:06 | <@caker> | then exit or control-d |
| 20:06 | <ajmitch> | or do as caker says :) |
| 20:06 | <msmiffy> | Ah, thanks. Bit like minicom. |
| 20:07 | <msmiffy> | Only it works. |
| 20:07 | <@caker> | msmiffy: man screen -- it's awesome |
| 20:08 | <msmiffy> | OK - will have to install it first though. (No manual entry for screen) |
| 20:09 | <ajmitch> | screen is very, very useful |
| 20:13 | <msmiffy> | Anyone know if it's available on Solaris? |
| 20:13 | <Mel> | used to be for 8... dunno about 9 or 10 |
| 20:14 | <msmiffy> | If it was, it probably is as OpenSolaris and Linux converge... |
| 20:15 | [~] | msmiffy wants full-blown RAIDZ for Linux. |
| 20:18 | [~] | msmiffy follows erikh's example and writes a Bash script for lish (Usage: lish <Linode_name>) |
| 20:22 | <erikh> | lish() { ssh foo@myhost.linode.com } |
| 20:22 | <erikh> | there |
| 20:22 | <erikh> | heh |
| 20:28 | <msmiffy> | Mine is more case $1 in foo) ssh ....;; bar) ssh ....;; *) echo forgot host name!;; esac |
| 20:29 | <msmiffy> | (No my hosts are NOT foo and bar.) |
| 20:30 | <erikh> | that reminds me of "hello world: hacker style": |
| 20:30 | <erikh> | echo "hello, world!" |
| 20:31 | <msmiffy> | For the really ancient amongst us: 10 PRINT "hello, world" 20 GOTO 10 |
| 20:32 | <HoopyCat> | "Systems: I need a program that prints out 'hello world' for a customer demo in 5 minutes. They're looking to sell thousands of these." |
| 20:32 | <msmiffy> | ;-) |
| 20:34 | <erikh> | HoopyCat: no, it starts out with "Upper managment hello world" and so on until it gets to the hacker one |
| 20:34 | <erikh> | the "upper management" one is in gwbasic with line numbers |
| 20:34 | <erikh> | it's out there on the interweb somewhere |
| 20:34 | <erikh> | pretty funny, too |
| 20:37 | <HoopyCat> | i figured i'd just use a real-life example for speed ;-) |
| 20:37 | <@caker> | msmiffy: ancient, eh? :) |
| 20:38 | <erikh> | HoopyCat: heh |
| 20:38 | <Mel> | (pst) your geek is showing |
