| BobJonkman | Any Channel Ops around to change the /topic to show that we *have* LoCo re-approval? | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| tonyyarusso | None of them are here right now (!), but you're probably most likely to find hypatia. | 00:16 |
| BobJonkman | OK, I'll bug her when she show. dscassel may have ChanOp too | 00:19 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: Nope, I don't. I probably should, I guess. | 00:33 |
| BobJonkman | So the world revolves around hypatia ... | 00:33 |
| dscassel | Yup. | 00:33 |
| tonyyarusso | The people who have ops currently are Burgundavia, Madpilot, hypatia, and coleSLAW. | 00:41 |
| dscassel | Corey (Burgundavia), Brian (Madpilot) and Simon (coleSLAW) are all admins from the original team. They aren't around much anymore. | 01:12 |
| MikeS11 | Hey ubuntu-ca | 01:17 |
| dscassel | Hey, MikeS11 | 01:17 |
| dscassel | What's up? | 01:17 |
| MikeS11 | Nothing much. About to tackle a nagios install for the 3rd time. | 01:18 |
| dscassel | Ooh, fun. | 01:18 |
| MikeS11 | Yeah. New guide, this one was suggested by somebody in #nagios | 01:19 |
| MikeS11 | I'm expecting it to go better | 01:19 |
| dscassel | Good luck! | 01:20 |
| MikeS11 | Thanks. | 01:20 |
| dscassel | tonyyarusso: If I can swing it, would you be interested in being an op? | 01:20 |
| * tonyyarusso knows Nagios, might be able to help MikeS11, fyi | 01:25 | |
| tonyyarusso | dscassel: I'm fine with the duties (I'm an op in #ubuntu), but I'm not really around here terribly regularly. | 01:26 |
| MikeS11 | If I run headlong into a wall (built of fire or otherwise) I'll try him, thanks. | 01:26 |
| tonyyarusso | Also, there's a PPA (~nagiosinc) if you insist on having the latest version. | 01:27 |
| tonyyarusso | (installing things from source is yucky) | 01:27 |
| MikeS11 | tonyyarusso: just noticed your an OP on #nagios. also, yes. source is yicky. this time its apt-get | 01:39 |
| dscassel | tonyyarusso: Noted. | 01:42 |
| tonyyarusso | dscassel: Find me a job offer in Thunder Bay next year and I'll suddenly become more common ;) | 01:43 |
| dscassel | tonyyarusso: I have a friend in Nipigon I could ask... | 02:00 |
| tonyyarusso | dscassel: Really? That would actually be useful. | 02:00 |
| tonyyarusso | dscassel: Backstory if you don't remember: I'm currently in the US (where I was born), going to school. Once I finish my degree I would like to emigrate to Canada, with Thunder Bay being my 1st choice for destination city, and doing so will be vastly easier with a job offer at that time. | 02:01 |
| dscassel | I'll see what I can do... :) | 02:01 |
| tonyyarusso | If it helps, you can tell him that 'nipigon' is the hostname of my netbook ;) | 02:02 |
| dscassel | Her. And considering she's the economic development officer for the town, that might help. :) | 02:02 |
| tonyyarusso | Her, righto. Awesome :P | 02:03 |
| MikeS11 | nagios installed | 03:18 |
| MikeS11 | :D\ | 03:18 |
| MikeS11 | http://jsquaredconsulting.com/blog/2010/11/installing-nagios-on-ubuntu-10-10/ | 03:18 |
| MikeS11 | i was using this guide | 03:18 |
| MikeS11 | basically it just told me apt-get install nagios3 | 03:19 |
| MikeS11 | tonyyarusso: does installing it from apt give me the plugins also? | 03:19 |
| tonyyarusso | MikeS11: It can - they're in a separate package (nagios-plugins) | 03:25 |
| tonyyarusso | Those are further broken down into -standard, -extra, -snmp, -basic, and -nrpe. nagios-plugins depends on -basic and -standard; the rest you can get separately. | 03:27 |
| MikeS11 | tonyyarusso: thanks. | 03:28 |
| tonyyarusso | See also nagios-images, nagios-nrpe-server, and nsca packages, although be warned that the nagios-images package is being dropped upstream in Debian due to licensing uncertainty. | 03:28 |
| MikeS11 | its just icons mostly yes? | 03:29 |
| tonyyarusso | yeah | 03:45 |
| tonyyarusso | Mostly trademarked icons :P | 03:45 |
| MikeS11 | o no | 03:46 |
| MikeS11 | hehe | 03:46 |
| MikeS11 | Do I have to install the docs seperately? | 03:46 |
| MikeS11 | It is telling me that /nagios3/docs/index.html is missing. | 03:46 |
| MikeS11 | and I verified that this isn't just a permissions issue. | 03:47 |
| tonyyarusso | MikeS11: Yes, Ubuntu & Debian packaging frequently breaks out documentation for significantly-sized things into a separate package. | 04:03 |
| MikeS11 | tonyyarusso: I just looked, and sure enough there was a nagios3-doc package. *sigh* | 04:05 |

| MikeS11 | What do you guys think of the LPIC? | 05:30 |
| dscassel | LPIC? | 05:39 |
| MikeS11 | linux professional institute certification | 05:39 |
| dscassel | Ah. | 05:39 |
| dscassel | I'm not a big fan of certifications. | 05:40 |
| dscassel | But they can be helpful for getting a job, I suppose. | 05:40 |
| dscassel | Particularly if you don't have a degree/diploma in a directly related field. | 05:40 |
| MikeS11 | That's why I'm looking into it. | 05:40 |
| tonyyarusso | I have the LPIC-1 certification actually. | 05:41 |
| tonyyarusso | I REALLY should be getting the level 2 one sometime soon. | 05:41 |
| MikeS11 | Well, I have a college diploma. But to offset my lack of experience I was hoping to bolster my chances with a cert(s) | 05:41 |
| MikeS11 | tonyyarusso, can you explain the approximate skill level the LPIC-1 represents? | 05:41 |
| tonyyarusso | "Knows their way around Linux more than the average bear." | 05:42 |
| MikeS11 | haha, ok. | 05:42 |
| MikeS11 | level 2 would be script circles around the average bear? | 05:42 |
| tonyyarusso | It's the "Junior sysadmin" level - familiarity with all the basic command line tools, core system components (init, CUPS, X, etc.) and a few key applications. | 05:43 |
| tonyyarusso | pretty much, yeah | 05:43 |
| tonyyarusso | LPI actually has very detailed lists of the competencies expected for each on their web site too. | 05:43 |
| MikeS11 | level 2 is the j. sysadmin? | 05:43 |
| MikeS11 | Ok, I'll go read that and leave you alone. ;) | 05:44 |
| tonyyarusso | Junior Level Linux Professional (LPIC-1) | 05:44 |
| tonyyarusso | Advanced Level Linux Professional (LPIC-2) | 05:44 |
| tonyyarusso | Senior Level Linux Professional (LPIC-3) | 05:44 |
| MikeS11 | ahhh. that make sense. | 05:44 |
| MikeS11 | Thanks! | 05:44 |
| MikeS11 | QUIT [bedtime] | 07:42 |
| MikeS11 | damn... | 07:42 |
