| Grimsqueaker | I am trying to make an upstart script in Ubuntu Karmic for Virtualbos-OSE 3. Basically I want it to start up some virtual machines on boot, respawn them if they die, and save their state / shut them down if the box shuts down. My current script is http://pastebin.com/m8e8fd79. | 14:20 |
|---|---|---|
| Grimsqueaker | Can anyone help out? Its not working when I boot the box. | 14:21 |
| keesj | Keybuk: going to FOSDEM ? | 21:08 |
| JanC | he's probably in the US now, not sure he will be back in time | 21:28 |
| JanC | although he's very welcome of course ☺ | 21:29 |
| keesj | He did a talk last year so I guessed he might | 21:30 |
| JanC | they are at a sprint in Portland AFAIK | 21:32 |
| sadmac2 | where in the US is he? | 21:36 |
| keesj | I did not do so much upstart work in the last year. | 21:36 |
| sadmac2 | Even I've not done all that much | 21:36 |
| ion | Washington, it seems. | 21:36 |
| sadmac2 | graduation, $dayjob, life's been interesting | 21:37 |
| sadmac2 | ion: as in DC? | 21:37 |
| ion | A GeoIP lookup puts his IP address at 45.9420,-122.6720 with no guarantee of accuracy of any kind, of course. | 21:39 |
| sadmac2 | ion: smart money puts him in Portland | 21:40 |
| ion | Indeed, a whois lookup on the IP address says the block is owned by a company in Portland, Oregon. | 21:41 |
| sadmac2 | ion: you're a good stalker | 21:42 |
| JanC | I know there is a sprint with lots of Canonical people in Portland, so I supposed he was there ;) | 21:42 |
| ion | sadmac: On the Internet, perhaps. :-P | 21:43 |
| JanC | anyway, I'm not sure exactly when it ends | 21:43 |
| JanC | I will be at FOSDEM, but I guess that's less important for keesj... ;-) | 21:44 |
| keesj | I don't really know :p | 21:44 |
| ion | Meanwhile, /me is amazed of how easy failover between computers is in Erlang: http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/lang/erlang/doc/design_principles/distributed_applications.html | 21:45 |
| JanC | ion: well, that's what Erlang was designed for | 21:45 |
| ion | Obviously, but it could have been made much more difficult by worse designers. | 21:47 |
| JanC | true | 21:47 |
| * sadmac2 tries to think of actual relevant products coming out of Ericcson proper. | 21:48 | |
| sadmac2 | non-pure functional languages kind of worry me. Its an opportunity to not really "get" functional programming. | 21:49 |
| JanC | sadmac2: their mobile phones & TV sets have a pretty good reputation AFAIK ;) | 21:49 |
| keesj | last years FOSDEM I really had fun with ADA. I wonder what this year will bring , JanC is that TOR related to the tor proxy? | 21:49 |
| sadmac2 | JanC: the mobile phones are Sony-Ericcson, which is a very different animal | 21:49 |
| sadmac2 | JanC: not sure about the TVs | 21:49 |
| * sadmac2 knew a Sony-Ericcson employee | 21:50 | |
| JanC | sadmac2: now yes, my brother had an Ericsson mobile phone for years, and they don't make any like that anymore ;) | 21:50 |
| sadmac2 | keesj: ADA? as in the programming language? (I'd think not) | 21:50 |
| sadmac2 | JanC: brick-o-phone? | 21:51 |
| JanC | it wasn't too big, but you could throw it against a brick wall and it would still work :P | 21:51 |
| JanC | I think they still use Erlang for (mobile) telephony switches though? | 21:52 |
| ion | I’m sure Erlang’s telephony infrastructure stuff has a good reputation. They boast 99.9999999 % (“nine nines”) reliability for some products. And having learned about the workings of Erlang, i can see how such reliability can be achieved. | 21:53 |
| JanC | thats' why they designed it after all | 21:53 |
| sadmac2 | My dad used to work on that stuff at Alcatel | 21:53 |
| JanC | I mean, Nokia telephony switches ran on Windows in the past (not sure if that's still true) | 21:54 |
| JanC | or was it their SMS software or whatever | 21:54 |
| JanC | I always found that weird ;-) | 21:54 |
| sadmac2 | don't hear much from them these days actually. There's the n900, but I don't encounter it often. | 21:55 |
| ion | (1 − 99.9999999 %) years = 30 milliseconds, btw. :-) | 21:55 |
| Keybuk | keesj: unlikely ;) | 21:55 |
| Keybuk | I am, indeed, in Portland, OR | 21:56 |
| sadmac2 | Keybuk: if you were in DC I'd tell you to move your departure to RDU and come take a bus and see me. | 21:56 |
| Keybuk | no, the better coast | 21:57 |
| sadmac2 | Keybuk: you're not even a citizen yet and you're already a regional snob? :) | 22:00 |
| Keybuk | "yet" ? | 22:00 |
| JanC | so, who else outside of keesj & me comes to FOSDEM? ☺ | 22:01 |
| sadmac2 | Keybuk: yet! | 22:01 |
| Keybuk | sadmac2: I don't think there's any way for me to *become* a citizen | 22:01 |
| sadmac2 | Keybuk: don't you know? after about your 25th trip in we just shanghai you. | 22:01 |
| sadmac2 | Keybuk: going to Japan has me feeling nice and rosy about the US immigration process. There's 10th generation Koreans over there who aren't citizens. | 22:02 |
| sadmac2 | Keybuk: its impossible in the literal sense. If your parents aren't Japanese, neither are you. Period. Forever. | 22:03 |
| Keybuk | huh? | 22:09 |
| Keybuk | I was referring to the US | 22:09 |
| JanC | sadmac2: that's weird, as at least 50% of the people in Japan are actually Korean ((pre-)historically speaking) ;) | 22:13 |
| keesj | the n900 is rly great (and runs upstart) | 22:23 |
| keesj | 0.3.8 that is | 22:25 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: yes. I conducted a massive segue. | 22:44 |
| Keybuk | right | 22:45 |
| * Keybuk has no degree, no phd, etc. | 23:07 | |
| Keybuk | means no immigration | 23:07 |
| Keybuk | no visa | 23:08 |
| JanC | Keybuk: there is always the lottery IIRC ? ;) | 23:12 |
| JanC | or was that in Canada | 23:12 |
| Keybuk | that's Canada I think | 23:12 |
| Keybuk | US uses a points system, and I have zarro points | 23:12 |
| JanC | ah, well, who cares ;) | 23:13 |
