trashguyZFS ^^00:17
[Solars]zfs?00:17
trashguyhow lare are you looking at?00:17
[Solars]1TB for main area00:17
[Solars]./boot is only 500mb. / is 1.3TB, and swap is 1.5GB00:18
trashguyext3 would be fine00:18
trashguyZFS is suns file system00:19
trashguyits pretty much amazing00:19
trashguyI have a file server at home tunning freebsd 7 and i have some disks with ZFS00:19
[Solars]i vaguely heard of it00:20
trashguyits quite powerfull00:20
trashguywith disk snapshots00:20
trashguyand maintiaing backsups etc00:20
[Solars]can i upgrade from ext3 to zfs if i choose to?00:23
trashguyits a migration00:24
trashguyand00:24
trashguyzfs support in linux00:24
trashguyis hight experimental00:24
trashguyright now00:24
[Solars]figured as much00:25
[Solars]documentation for it in ubuntu referres back to 7.1000:25
[Solars]so its been around for a little bit00:25
[Solars]doc also say they are working on an ext400:26
trashguymeh00:27
[Solars]it was a interesting read to say the least00:28
[Solars]takes for ever to format ext3 on 1+TB00:28
kgoetzext4 has been in devel for a few years00:31
[Solars]figured as much00:31
kgoetzalso, zfs wont make mainline linux, as its CDDS (or whatever suns free licence is)00:32
trashguyyes00:36
trashguyStallman is a GPL nazi00:36
trashguyBSD license >00:36
trashguyYou can use our stuff just don't sue us00:37
trashguyZFS is amazing though I am glad they are rolling it in to FreeBSD00:38
trashguyi wouldn't use it as a root system but for storage its pretty pro00:38
* [Solars] must now has to determine "which install package i want"00:39
[Solars]sshd and prolly samba00:39
trashguyyou goign to use cifs?00:39
[Solars]common internet file system?00:41
[Solars]i mostly want to use samba as media storage00:42
[Solars]i suppose i could just install samba myself afterwords00:44
trashguyi liek doign stuff post install00:44
[Solars]is the preinstall sshd worth doing (not sure what other packages are included with that)00:45
uvirtbotNew bug: #277327 in samba (main) "Installing wine makes samba shares unaccessible" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27732700:46

macdhttp://pastie.org/284003  <-- ideas?  (package installed, binary still doesnt exist no surprise its ruby related)01:15
mathiazmacd: what does dpkg -L rubygems say É01:17
mathiazmacd: ?01:17
macdit says its installed01:17
mathiazmacd: which PPA are you using ?01:17
mathiazmacd: like /usr/bin/gems01:18
mathiazmacd: >01:18
mathiazmacd: >?01:18
macdwait, dpkg -L rubygems doesnt have a binary at all, lket me see it rubygems1.8 does01:18
mathiazmacd: gem1.8 ?01:18
macdyeah, gem1.8 @ mathiaz is the binary01:18
macdbut it fails epicly at doing anything01:18
macdhttp://pastie.org/28400501:19
macdmathiaz, the ruby/gems from the PPA work fine, I was trying the packaged ones in intrepid.01:19
mathiazmacd: the version in intrepid is not 1.2.0+200808190101:20
macdhardy, Im sorry.01:21
mathiazmacd: in intrepid it's 1.3.0~RC1really1.2.0-2ubuntu201:21
mathiazmacd: hardy is 0.9.4-4 with 1.1.1 from hardy-backports01:21
mathiazmacd: where did you get 1.2.0+2008081901-0ubuntu1 from ?01:22
macdapt-get update then apt-get install rubygems01:22
mathiazmacd: what's your sources.list ?01:22
macdmathiaz, http://pastie.org/28401101:23
mathiazmacd: hm - the only place where 1.2.0+2008081901-0ubuntu1 exist is in the ubuntu-ruby-backports PPA01:25
macdand I dont use that repo01:25
macdwell I do, but not on this machine...01:25
macdthis is a fresh hardy install01:25
mathiazmacd: hm - I don't know then. Have you downloaded the deb from the PPA and manually installed it ?01:27
macdmathiaz, nahh, this is the second boot of the vm as well, first was to uncomment sources.list and dist-upgrade, then rebooted to install ruby+gems from the repos01:28
macdI can try purging them, and reinstalling01:28
mathiazmacd: that would help01:28
macdmathiaz, so rubygems or libgems-ruby1.8 ?01:31
mathiazmacd: try both01:31
macdthey can't coexist01:32
macdone removes the other on install01:32
macdlet me try a few things, and I'll stick it all in a pastie01:32

nxvlmathiaz: ping05:11
nxvlmathiaz: just tried to install ebox and i can't05:11
nxvlThe following packages have unmet dependencies:05:11
nxvl  libebox: Depends: libjs-scriptaculous but it is not installable05:11
nxvl           Depends: libjs-prototype but it is not installable05:11
mathiaznxvl: which package are you trying to install ?05:11
nxvlebox05:12
mathiaznxvl: and you've enabled the ebox ppa ?05:12
nxvlyup05:12
ScottKmathiaz: This reminds me of my mail to ubuntu-server the other day.  If we aren't going to fix the packages, should we just remove them?05:12
mathiazScottK: I'd rather try to get them fix instead of removing the package05:13
nxvlScottK: we are testing it05:13
ScottKnxvl and mathiaz: OK.  I got the impression from the meeting minutes that we were just telling people to use the PPA.05:13
mathiazScottK: we've been kind of pushing people to use ebox instead of webmin - so I don't think it would be a good idea to just drop ebox from intrepid.05:13
nxvlmathiaz: the weirdest part is that that package is not on the ppa05:14
nxvlScottK: well, it was some testing needed to grab the packages from the ppa05:14
ScottKmathiaz: I agree, but better nothing that one that's broken.05:14
ScottKOK.05:14
nxvlScottK: and that's what we are doing05:14
nxvl:D05:14
nxvlScottK: agreed on that05:14
mathiazScottK: ok. The plan is to test the version in the PPA and if it works well then we'll start to do a FFexecption request.05:14
mathiaznxvl: I've tested the ppa on monday and it was working then.05:15
ScottKmathiaz: Did you see the mail about mailman updates today?05:15
mathiaznxvl: do you have universe enabled ?05:15
mathiazScottK: yes - I haven't looked at the version in debian though.05:16
nxvlwait05:16
ScottKI don't have time to deal with an FFe, but I at least looked at their changelog (NEWS) and test built the package and it looks reasonable for an FFe to me.05:16
nxvlis a problem with my sources.list05:16
nxvl:S05:16
ScottKmathiaz: ^^05:16
nxvlor it looks like05:16
mathiazScottK: ok.05:16
mathiazScottK: is it a big new release ? or more a bug fix ?05:17
nxvlheh05:17
nxvlfound the problem05:17
mathiazScottK: I don't remember the rationale for updating the version in the email.05:17
nxvli was testing it in my hardy chroot05:17
nxvl:D05:17
ScottKmathiaz: A few minor features.  Almost all bug fixes.05:17
ScottKIt's a sync from Debian.05:17
mathiazScottK: oh - that makes things even simpler then.05:18
ScottKI just don't have time to deal with it ...05:18
mathiaznxvl: yes - I'd suggest you to try on intrepid instead :D05:18
mathiazScottK: I'll have a look at it.05:18
nxvlmathiaz: :D05:19
ScottKGreat.05:19
nxvlScottK: if it's not done after i finish with the ebox FFe i will take care of it05:19
ScottKIt's be nice to be able to answer that mail, "Because it was released after the autosync stopped.  Thanks for pointing it out, it's in Intrepid."05:19
nxvli'm looking for some quick tasks to do after hours and/or at dead times when waiting for end process to finish05:20

ScottKNCommander: How's glib on hppa going?05:27
NCommanderOh yeah, I was working on that05:27
ScottKYeah, so your wiki page wouldn't be a lie.05:27
slangasekthe wiki cake is a lie05:27
* NCommander rofls05:28
NCommanderslangasek, Portal fan?05:28
[Solars]erm i want to make a script for managing files .. i.e. check to see if they are done download, move *.blah files to /my/dest, and rm-rf old files after x days05:29
[Solars]whats the best way to do this?05:29
nxvlthe cake is a lie!05:29
NCommanderScottK, the source package is glibc2.0, right?05:30
nxvli'm about to give up with schroot05:30
* NCommander pulls out a portal gun and makes slangasek's alpha disappear05:30
NCommanderslangasek, do you have any experience with the Windows NT ports?05:31
ScottKNCommander: That sounds right.05:31
NCommanderScottK, its building, but it looks like sbuild is the issue, so I'm trying to rule that out first05:31
ScottKGreat.05:31
NCommanderI guess I should fix kde4bindings while I'm at it :-/05:32
slangasekNCommander: not a fan, just helpless in the face of memes05:32
slangasekNCommander: glib2.0, not glibc2.0...05:32
NCommanderslangasek, right, typo ;-)05:33
ScottKNCommander: No point until glib is fixed.05:33
NCommanderslangasek, how about All Your Bases Are Belong To Us05:33
slangasekand what kind of "experience" are you looking for?  I know how to upgrade the console on an alpha so that it no longer boots NT.05:33
NCommanderslangasek, well, I'm trying to remove Windows NT PowerPC, but its having some sorta death grip and is resisting all attempts to removing it05:34
slangasekmmmno.05:34
slangasekI think for that one, you need to get an old Apple designer, a young Apple designer, and some holy water05:34
NCommanderMeh05:35
NCommanderIt's my luck that I get the only RS/6000 that doesn't come with AIX, but evil05:36
slangasekoh, there's a distinction: "not AIX, but evil"05:41
NCommanderObviously you've never been a Windows NT Server admin. Having done the former, I'll take AIX any day of the week05:41
slangasekI've done both.05:44

ScottK45.06:03
* ScottK is ancient.06:03
NCommanderwow, you probably remember the PDP-11 and COBOL06:03
ScottKThey relevant old man was in his late 70's or in his 80's.06:03
ScottKNCommander: Yep.  I've dropped a COBOL card deck and had to re-sort it.06:04
NCommanderI hope it was numbered06:04
ScottKThat would have helped.06:04
ScottKI honestly don't recall.06:04
NCommanderThat's pretty06:06

NCommanderWHY DOES UBUNTU ON HPPA HATE ME06:06
vk5fossbecause hppa is hateful06:06

* ScottK considers buying new glasses so he can read the new LP fonts.06:09

slangaseknxvl: huh, seriously?  did you interrupt me in the middle of a libtool rant?06:12
ScottKslangasek: Same here.  I have, however, quite literally, made a grown man cry.06:13
NCommanderScottK, WTF did you do?06:13
nxvlslangasek: heh, no, you came into the server track, and you look a little hurry, then i asked and you said "probably not now i'm quite busy"06:13
nxvl(you were on mi side IIRC)06:13
nxvlmy*06:13
slangaseknxvl: ah :)06:13
nxvlit was in a middle of session, so it was understudable06:14
nxvl:D06:14
nxvlall of us were really busy06:14
ScottKNCommander: It was when I was in the Navy.  I was the investigating officer (regular officers do this for minor offenses in the military) of a case where a guy was charged with stealing some stuff.06:14
NCommanderYOu were an officer?06:14
ScottKNCommander: He claimed the other guy had left it out and he had just picked it up for safe keeping.06:14
ScottKYes.06:14
* NCommander has considered a military carrier at times06:15
ScottKI merely pointed out that he had been caught stealing before and so wasn't very credible on the topic.06:15
NCommanderand he started crying?06:15
* NCommander guesses it was the thought of dishonorable discharge06:15
ScottKOnce I got through explaining you can plead guilty and it will suck or you can not plead guilty and it will really suck and he got it, then he started crying.06:16
ScottKYeah.  Other Than Honorable actually.06:16
ScottKDD you only get from a courts martial.06:16
NCommanderA general discharge isn't quite frowned upon as a dishonorable dicharge06:17
nxvlScottK: you were in the navy?06:17
ScottKGeneral is a step up from other-than-honorable.06:18
ScottKnxvl: Yes.06:18
nxvlwow06:18
ScottK5 years active duty and another 4 in the reserves.06:18
* NCommander has thought about joining the Marine Corps06:18
ScottKI have a huge amount of respect for those guys.06:18
nxvlis there even a 20% of americans not in the army?06:19
ScottKnxvl: The military is less than 1% of the population.06:19
nxvli mean is/was06:20
ScottKAh.06:20
ScottKI'd guess less than 10% have ever served.06:21
ScottKBefore 1972 there was a draft, so it was higher.06:21
NCommanderScottK, I haven't joined at my parents requests06:21
NCommanderBut its pulled strongly on my mind06:21
ScottKI can understand their position.06:21
NCommanderEither coast guard, who gets shit on, but get my respect, or the marine corps06:21
nxvli've some friend who are in the Peruvian Navy06:22
ScottKNCommander: You know why you have to be at least 6 feet tall to join the Coast Guard?06:22
nxvland they all tell this stories from his first year in the Navy school06:22
NCommanderScottK, seriously? Damn it. I'm an inch too short06:22
nxvlof all the jokes to the "dogs" (that's how they call the newly started in the navy school)06:22
ScottKNCommander: No.  It's so you can walk ashore if your ship sinks.06:23
ScottK;-)06:23
* NCommander falls over06:23
NCommanderThe coast guard however has my respect06:23
NCommanderUntil '01, they were the only group that actively did their mission of guarding the US coastlines and such.06:24
nxvlthere is one that they make them eat a button, which is tied to a (thread?)06:24
nxvland they they pull that out06:24
ScottKLovely.06:24
nxvland as you can imagine, all your food come after the button06:25
NCommanderew06:25
ScottKThere is a difference between proper indoctrination/training and hazing.06:25
NCommanderScottK, I joined the fire department for the chance to serve06:25
nxvlScottK: not in peru06:25
NCommanderIt's not the military, but the experience is amazing06:25
ScottKThe US military is generally pretty good about being on the right side of the line on that.06:25
nxvlor they come on the morning and fill your bread with salt (all the salt they can find) and make you eat that06:26
NCommanderScottK, same in the FD, though to less of the same extent06:26
* NCommander remembers he had his boots filled with shaving cream06:26
ScottKNCommander: Yeah, well the motto of the Marine Corps is that every man is a Rifleman.  The motto of the Navy is that every man is a firefighter.06:26
nxvlFD?06:26
ScottKFire Department06:26
nxvloh06:26
NCommanderScottK, well, after WWI, fire departments became paramilitary06:26
nxvlthings are way different here06:27
NCommanderOur department was created by some caption from WWI,06:27
ScottKNCommander: I did have to go through fire fighting training.  You can't serve on a US Navy ship without it.06:27
NCommanderScottK, welcome to the hot seat06:27
NCommanderWell, fire at sea is incredibly dangerous06:27
nxvlfrom 80 fire stations only 20 are opened, because the other 60 doesn't have budget even to put gas on the vehicles06:27
NCommanderWe had a ship go up in our harbor06:27
ScottKIt was one thing when I know it was a school and I was pretty confident I wasn't going to die.06:27
nxvland the firemans are volunteers, they doesn't get paid06:27
NCommanderOne of the most terrorifying calls ever06:27
NCommandernxvl, I'm volunteer06:27
nxvlNCommander: here EVERYONE is volunteer06:27
nxvlthere is no paid fireman at all06:28
NCommanderScottK, the people who take their job as a ship firefighter have cast iron balls06:28
ScottKWe practice a lot and it's not like you've got anywhere to go if it doesn't work out.06:28
NCommanderYEah, well, its our worst nightmare to get lost in a building06:28
ScottKI can imagine.06:29
NCommanderYour average cruiser is freaking maze06:29
ScottKIf you're assigned to it you know it though.06:29
nxvland it's sad that they are volunteers, they make it for nothing and sometimes they need to use their own money to maintain the firestation06:29
NCommanderThe only thing you have over us is that collaspe risk is much lower than ours06:29
ScottKYep.06:29
NCommanderYou'll be dead before that metal will melt likely06:29
ScottKNot necessarily.  Some of the ships have aluminium super structures.06:29
NCommanderYou'll still be dead, cause the moment you go through the deck plating, you'll get roasted alive06:30
ScottKYeah.06:30
nxvlNCommander: so, you are a full time fireman?06:31
NCommanderNope, volunteer06:31
ScottKI heard a lecture by the Damage Control Assistant on the USS Stark when it got hit.  It got so hot when fighting the fires that his nylon underwear melted to his body.06:31
NCommanderI get my nuts roasted for no compensation06:31
nxvlthat means you whenever you want?06:31
NCommanderOW06:31
NCommanderfuck.06:31
ScottKYeah.06:31
ScottKHe didn't make much of it.06:31
NCommanderYeah, well, I've seen the remains of our gear when it fails06:32
NCommanderDamn, guy is lucky to have anything ... still working if you catch my drift06:32
ScottKThere was another guty that stood IN the missile magazine for 18 hours straight cooling a bulkhead so the missiles wouldn't get hot enough to cook off.06:32
ScottKYep.06:32
NCommanderGun powder is amazingly stable stuff06:33
NCommanderIts got to get REALLY hot being bullet starts flying06:33
ScottKRight, but these have solid fuel rocket motors.06:34
NCommanderThe one that always irks me is the exploding extinguishers06:34
ScottKThey have the fuel and the ozixidizer all in one.06:34
NCommanderLittle known fact06:34
NCommanderFire extinguishers explode in fire06:34
ScottKMakes sense.06:35
[Solars]you mean co2 expands when it gets heated!?06:35
NCommander(well, CO2 ones have a release value, so they don't, but foam ones will go with the force of a few sticks of TNT at least, and water ones become ballistic missiles)06:35
NCommander[Solars], actually, CO2 extinguishers have a safety release06:35
NCommanderSo they *shouldn't* explode06:35
NCommanderThe ones that really explode are foam ones06:35
NCommanderThe other fun home cannister: the little old man with O2 and cigarettes06:36
NCommanderBad combination06:36
[Solars]NCommander i was being sarcastic :)06:36
* [Solars] is also a vff06:36
NCommander\o/!06:36
NCommander[Solars], O2 bottles scare me shitless06:36
NCommanderI was a volunteer dummy for the EMT-B examination06:36
NCommanderSomeone in the other room dropped the bottle06:37
NCommanderThe regulator snapped right off06:37
* ScottK used to SCUBA dive, so I know what happened next.06:37
NCommanderThe bottle hits the ground, goes flying, and goes through two walls06:37
nxvli used to dive :D06:37
NCommanderTHe regular shot through the ceiling, took out a comptuer and a desk and embedded itself in the second floor ceiling (we think, we never found it ....)06:37
NCommanderI personally think the regulator shot through the roof, but we couldn't find an exit hole so ....06:38
ScottKIn the Navy we didn't use compressed O2 for breathing, we had chemically generated Oxygen.06:38
NCommanderSounds slightly safer06:38
ScottKThat's the theory.06:39
NCommanderScottK, we have O2 for patients, us fire junkies use regular air. Still danger, but less likely to explode06:39
NCommander*dangerous06:39
ScottKRIght.06:39
ScottKhttp://www.tpub.com/content/advancement/14325/css/14325_346.htm06:39
NCommanderOh, so you strap the bomb to your front ;-)06:40
ScottKYeah.  Basically.06:40
ScottKBut better than scattering a bunch of compressed air bottles throughout the ship.06:40
NCommanderYeah06:40
ScottKThey don't blow up though, then just get a 'little warm'.06:41
NCommanderWe use composites06:41
NCommanderSo in theory if it fails, you shouldn't have shrapnel06:41
* NCommander knocks on wood06:41
ScottKOr at least softer shrapnel.06:41
NCommanderGiven what we do to some of our packs, I'm suprised we haven't had a few rockets flying06:41
nxvlugh i forgot how hard was to start in a new project06:42
NCommanderScottK, anyone who can be a naval firefighter has my respect, the marines say the firefighters don't know danger, but yah know, I think being shot is better then dying rather crispy06:44
NCommanderScottK, at least you didn't have to deal with pets06:44
ScottKTrue.06:44
NCommanderOur last house fire was a farm ... with 15 or so cats, a bunch of ducks, two cows, and I think a turtle06:45
NCommanderTHAT was fun.06:45
NCommanderThose cats were absolutely phycho, one of them tried to claw my boss into minic meat06:45
ScottKWell that's all very unpleasant, but you don't have the prospect of a 500 mile swim if you don't beat the fire.  It can be very motivating.06:47
NCommanderI've always been suprised at the lack of hallogen fire supression systems06:48
NCommanderI would think it would be eaiser to seal the bulkheads of an advacing fire, and then beat the fire by removing the O206:48
ScottKThey do have it in the main engineering spaces.06:48
NCommanderhallogen is awesome06:49
NCommanderScary06:49
NCommanderBut awesome06:49
ScottKYeah.06:49
NCommanderEver get to see a hallogen system deploy?06:49
ScottKNope.06:49
ScottKShip I was on never had a serious fire.06:50
ScottKWe did have a major fuel oil leak once that was kind of exciting, but it didn't go up.06:51
NCommanderI've used a hallogen extinisher06:51
NCommander(aka, the oh shit extingisher)06:51
NCommanderYou get a lingering cloud of death when you use it06:51
ScottKAnother advantage shipboard is a lot of firefighting stuff is installed.06:51
NCommanderBut do they work ;-)06:52
ScottKWe had a dual firemain system that would deliver water or AFFF most anywhere on the ship.06:52
* NCommander can remember plenty of times when the supression system fails06:52
ScottKYes.06:52
NCommanderThe worst case that I'm aware of is 1 Merdian Plazza06:52
NCommanderIn PA06:52
ScottKI'm thinking more of hoses and water/afff and such.06:52
NCommanderScottK, your probably old enough to remember that fire, it was one of the largest co-flaguations and LOF calls before 9/1106:53
ScottKNo.06:53
ScottKI remember when the Philly police burned down an entire block of Philadelphia.06:54
NCommanderIt was in the 70s. A massive 8 floor fire on the 12-20th floors06:54
NCommander300 firefighters, and three days to simply get it under control06:54
ScottKWow.06:54
NCommanderThree things happened06:55
NCommanderFire doors failed06:55
NCommanderSUpression system failed06:55
NCommanderCode violations caused fire spread to shoot like crazy06:55
ScottKIn the Navy there were a couple of severe fires on aircraft carriers in the late 1960's that really woke people up.  Then a couple more in the 1980s (including the Stark I mentioned earlier).06:55
ScottKBy the time I was in, the firefighting situation was pretty good.06:56
ScottKEquipment worked, people got trained, and it was serious business.06:56
NCommanderYeah06:56
NCommanderStill, things can go wrong06:56
NCommanderDuring my recruit class, there were two serious injuries06:57
NCommanderand I personally experienced a backdraft06:57
NCommanderIt blew up right in my face06:57
NCommander[Solars], ever see a backdraft?06:57
ScottKNCommander: One of them was this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chuiyXQKw3I - some what on topic for today is the John McCain was on one of the planes in the fire.06:59
[Solars]yea06:59
[Solars]backdrafts are poerful06:59
ScottKThe guy you see charging towards the flames with a fire extinguisher around 35 - 45 seconds got the damage control school in Norfolk, VA named after him (posthumously).07:00
NCommanderDamn07:00
NCommanderEr07:00
NCommanderI really hope they aren't using water07:00
NCommanderHoly fucking crap07:01
nxvlwell, have a good night!07:02
nxvlread you tomorrow!07:02
NCommandercya nxvl07:02
ScottKNCommander: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forrest_Fire seems reasonably accurate.07:02
NCommanderScottK, christ, I just got more respect for McCain that he survived this07:02
NCommanderThings like this change a man07:02
ScottKHe was in the plane that got hit with errant ordnance.07:02
ScottKSo he wasn't just in it, he was at ground zero.07:03
NCommanderDamn07:03
NCommanderHe just confirmed my vote07:03
NCommanderUgh, water hoses -_-;07:03
NCommanderBad combination07:03
ScottKYeah.  I've seen the full Navy training video.07:04
ScottKThey had people with water hoses washing foam away because they didn't know any better.07:04
NCommanderYOu don't use water to fight fuel fires :-/07:05
ScottKAs I said, that was a low water mark in Navy damage control that really got people's attention.07:05
NCommanderyeah07:05
NCommanderno kidding07:05
NCommanderThe worst I ever experienced was an avoidable backdraft07:05
henkjanwow, finally an offtopic talk in #ubuntu-server :)07:05
ScottKIt's not like we're drowning out real work.07:06
NCommanderheh07:06
NCommanderWell, to get my story, you need to know a little context07:06
NCommanderOur district is great at two fires07:06
NCommanderNot ventilating, and not putting up ground ladders07:06
NCommander(it just never happens, its almost a running gag in our district)07:06
NCommanders/two fires/two things/g07:06
NCommanderSo, good two story fire in what can be best described as concrete eggcartons07:07
NCommanderWe put in a ventaliation request, which has, up until that point had gone unheaded07:07
NCommanderI was on search and rescue, and the fire went out without me observing it, so I entered a room while my parnther stayed at the door while I sweeped07:08
NCommanderLittle did I know that the room was hot (I couldn't tell, without ventilation, you simply are just melting away in your gear), and the only reason the fire went out is because it starved itself of oxygen07:08
NCommanderI think you can see where this story is heading07:09
ScottKYep.07:09
ScottKReminds me of an interesting point from the USS STARK fire.  They tried to cut holes in the aluminium superstructure for ventilation so the heat could escape and their cutting torches weren't hot enough.07:09
NCommanderOUch07:09
NCommanderNow, we're trained when we vent, we call command to make sure it ok to do it07:09
NCommanderTo prevent said backdraft07:10
ScottKBut not then.07:10
NCommanderAs I said before, we don't normally vent due to general incompentence07:10
NCommander(its really no ones fault, but its something our training officer been working on)07:10
NCommanderAt that very moment, the guy on the roof finally pops a hole in it07:10
ScottKOf course.07:11
NCommanderyou feel air moving07:11
NCommanderand FHOOMP07:11
NCommanderBoom07:11
ScottKRight.07:11
NCommanderI had just cleared the room when the fire relight07:11
NCommandera second earlier, and we probably won't be having this conversation07:11
NCommanderNormally I complain about the lack of venting, but in this case, I think I would have perfered to melt then being blown up :-)07:12
ScottK;-)07:13
NCommanderTHat's the closest brush with death I personally had07:13
NCommander(I didn't quite realize how close I came to being dead, or else would have pissed myself right then and there)07:14
ScottKI think that's generally how it works.07:14
NCommanderyeah07:16
NCommanderSo the rule of thumb is07:16
NCommanderBe careful what you wish for07:16
NCommanderYou might just get it07:16
NCommanderSo hppa hates me07:17
ScottKWell that's a given.07:17
NCommanderIts getting stuck trying to use pthread() ;.;07:17
NCommanderYou navy guys are alright in my book ;-). I didn't know you got FF training07:19
ScottKYou can't be permanently assigned to a ship without it.07:20
ScottKI remember our ship doing well in a mass conflaguration drill by emptying our combat information center of almost everyone and sending them to fight fires.07:20
NCommanderWHen I think about it07:20
NCommanderIt makes sense07:20
ScottKThis one talks about McCain on the Forrestal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxGV-eRUC_0&feature=related07:24
ScottKAs I'm looking, I particularly like the blog posts that attempt to blame McCain for the fire when it actually his plane that got hit by ordnance fired from another plane.07:25
[Solars]just to keep the theme of the currect naming system of ubuntu where would be a good spot to put a samba directory called "media"07:35

chmacIs there any way to make a symoblic link appear like a hard link?08:08
chmacI'm having problems because PHP's __FILE__ constant resolves the symbolic link, so you get the actual file path, not the link path.08:08
chmacI'm wondering if there's something I can do to fool PHP into thinking the file is a real file, when it's actually a symbolic link08:08
chmacI'd prefer a symbolic link so I can easy swap the destination file without changing the links08:09

[Solaris]to run a bash script... you put your script in a file, lets say RunThis ... then you type 'bash RunThis' to run the script right?19:55
RoAkSoAx[Solaris], sh RunThis19:57
brousch[Solaris], normally you would chmod +x the script file and do ./RunThis19:57
[Solaris]erm19:57
RoAkSoAx[Solaris], you actually could do it both ways, sh RunThis or ./RunThis19:57

[Solaris]so what would "CTDM: 101: Bad substitution19:58

[Solaris]i know CTDM is the file19:58
[Solaris]is 101 the line number?19:58
nxvlmathiaz: i've some issues with ebox19:58
nxvlmathiaz: actually with openssh19:58
RoAkSoAx[Solaris], yes, 101 is the line number20:00
nxvlRoAkSoAx: with sh you will run it with dash, and if it has bashism it will fail20:01
RoAkSoAxnxvl, yes indeed :P20:01
[Solaris]RoAkSoAx heh this driving me crazy thats the last line "done"20:01
[Solaris]is there a way to make it be verbose on whats it doing up to the point it gets there?20:02

mathiazsommer: now that we're in DocumentationStringFreeze, if there is a change in a man page what should be done ?20:21
mathiazsommer: ask for a StringFreeze Exception ?20:21
mathiazsommer: do you know if man pages are translated ?20:21
sommermathiaz: good question, are man pages covered under the doc team?20:25
sommermathiaz: I guess my understanding of the SF was for the Ubuntu Official docs, but I could be way wrong about that20:25
sommermathiaz: I'd think that since the man pages are part of the package a standard FFE should work20:26
=== RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx
sommermathiaz: probably wouldn't hurt to ask on the doc ml though20:26
* sommer isn't much help :(20:27
mathiazsommer: that's also what I thought - that SF is for the Ubuntu Official docs.20:31
mathiazsommer: and I don't think that the update-motd man page is translated.20:32
[MitosKalandiel]can one also get support here for the ebox-platform due to missing response in #ebox?20:41
ScottKPossibly, but the odds of us knowing stuff they don't is low.20:45
[MitosKalandiel]well i'll just give it a try then, following situation, one ebox server configure to be a pdc (but not to offer roaming profiles) all users are set up, firewall is open (actually turned off) and one windows xp client could join the domain but when i try to logon i get something like "A connected service couldn't be reached" (had to translate that from german, so it might be wrong, never seen that message b4 anyways with20:48
[MitosKalandiel]servers). any idea what is going wrong?20:48
[MitosKalandiel]obviously auth is working somehow, otherwise i wouldn't be able to join the domain, i can also see it in ldap, but i can just not auth against the ebox server20:49
[MitosKalandiel]have installed ebox naked from their iso20:49
[MitosKalandiel]and i'm just about out of ideas of what to checkl, i have lowered (poledit.msc) the needed algorythm for crypting password over the network but to no avail20:50
[MitosKalandiel]and the xp machine itself is freshly installed and updated to sp3 with latest updates20:51
sommer[MitosKalandiel]: do the ldap users have samba attributes?20:51
[MitosKalandiel]quite a couple of them : http://joker-solutions.pastebin.com/d6e64160e20:54
trashguyso20:55
trashguywhy do people have20:55
trashguy[ ] around there names20:55
trashguyis that the default20:55
[MitosKalandiel]nope is just summit i do, no specific reason :)20:55
=== [MitosKalandiel] is now known as MitosKalandiel
sommer[MitosKalandiel]: hrmm, should work then I'd think... you might double check that smb and nmb services are indeed running20:56
MitosKalandielthat better ;)20:56
MitosKalandielk, sec just checkin20:57
MitosKalandieli see both services started and listening20:59
MitosKalandielis there anytyhing on xp side i might have overseen? i know that some samba versions offer a .reg patch for xp. or maybe some firewall issue?21:00
sommerMitosKalandiel: I'd try watching the /var/log/samba/log.hostname when trying to login, it may tell you more21:00
mathiazkirkland: is this the correct diff for update-motd http://paste.ubuntu.com/53530/ ?21:02
mathiazkirkland: I've built it from trunk.21:02
MitosKalandielfound something here : http://joker-solutions.pastebin.com/d304d509f21:04
OlweWould questions pertaining to installing the desktop packages on a server be appropriate here?21:04
sommerMitosKalandiel: are you using a user in both LDAP and /etc/passwd?  if so the uid and gid may need to match21:05
kirklandmathiaz: let me check21:06
MitosKalandielsommer: yeah one user, hmm lemme check with a user that's just existent in LDAP21:07

MitosKalandielsommer: so i would need to change at my group sid's? or what is it i need to do?21:13
MitosKalandiel-at21:13
sommerMitosKalandiel: not 100% sure, was the XP machine part of a previous domain?21:15
MitosKalandielnope was freshly installed for this test21:15
MitosKalandiel(both machines, ebox and xp are running on virtualbox)21:17
sommerMitosKalandiel: ya seems like it may be an issue with the way ebox configures samba, but I'm not sure.21:18
sommerMitosKalandiel: here's a thread with what looks like a similar problem: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-April/103843.html21:18
