jrmyok so my alsa driver is up to date00:41
jrmyhow do i get it to use my onboard?00:41
jrmythere apparently are 3 devices00:41
jrmythere are*00:41
jedijfjrmy: aplay -l   will list your devices (in terminal)00:48
jedijfalsamixer is always a good place to start with sound...no MM's and pcm up00:48
jrmywell i have one.. but its not working when i try playing a music file00:49
jrmyso i guess i'll get alsamixer00:49
jrmysudo apt-get alsamixer?00:49
jedijftry alsamixer in the terminal00:49
jrmyodd even after switching to the sound card i still cant hear the mp300:52
jrmyi just updated my alsa driver too00:54
jrmymaybe the jack is broken?00:54
jrmythere is another sound card i can test00:55
jrmybut i dont see why i cant hear an mp300:56
jrmynot the wrong jack.. clearly labeled01:00
jrmyany ideas?01:00
jrmyjust tried watching a youtube video and no sound either01:00
jedijfdid you try alsamixer and make sure it's not muted(MM) and pcm is up?01:02
jrmyah.. stuff was muted01:04
jrmylol01:04
jrmyi remember that error that it said once01:04
jrmysweet01:05
jrmyhow would i tell if it sets it to m.. i suppose i could just save the session and it will reboot without mutes01:06
jrmylol.. finally01:06
jrmyheh, you know what.. this is why i liek linux.. its fun to me to have to fix problems01:07
jrmywindows is boring most of the time.. problems make things more interesting01:07
jrmyand when the problems are solved it feels great :D01:07
jrmyi wonder if its illegal to have other operating systems on a ps301:10
jrmyi remember reading the terms of agreements and it didnt specifically say if you couldnt01:11
jrmywell as far as i could understand it.. anyways probably innapropriate for this channel01:11
jrmythanks for the help01:11
jedijfjrmy: no prob...play...learn..break stuff01:21

andrewhrm, didn't work15:30
andrewI'm still here15:30
JonathanDhowdy knightzero15:43
knightzeroMorning JonathanD15:47
InHisNameHowdy all - knightzero, andrew, JonathanD    what great experiments can we do today to help me procrastinate my studies ?16:07
andrewyou can play with the chrome experiments16:24
knightzeroI've been dabbling in distributed computing - providing a nice load for my air conditioner in my home office.  Might be worth tinkering with.16:30
JonathanDthis is why my heavy gear is in the basement :P16:31
knightzeroI've been thinking of getting a rack for my attic - I'll still have to cool it, but at least the bellowing air conditioner won't be a foot from my head when I'm at my desk.16:33
JonathanDhttp://jdsnetwork.com/images/100_2770.JPG is my basement.16:33
JonathanDsomeone threw out a rack here, I tried to find someone to take it but no one could get it :/16:34
knightzeroI wish I'd known - I'll put a homeless rack to good use any day.16:37
JonathanDI'm using a stereo cabinet :P16:38
InHisNameJonathanD: you have SUN equipt.  r u running Solaris ?16:45
JonathanDInHisName: someone else has that now16:45
JonathanDI gave it to someone at lilug.16:45
InHisNamewhat does lilug stand for ?16:46
JonathanDlong island linux users group16:46
InHisNameu live on LI ?16:46
JonathanDNo. I live in Bridgeport, PA.16:46
JonathanDBut I go to/host events all over the place.16:47
JonathanDOur camping trip gets a fair few from NY16:47
InHisNameCloser to me,  actually probably half way between.16:47
InHisNamewhat are the big 4 things in foreground ?  IBM servers ?16:48
JonathanDYes.16:48
JonathanDMy vmware environment.16:48
InHisNamehow many cores total among the 4 boxes ?16:48
JonathanDThey're pretty old ;)16:48
InHisNameXEONs?16:49
JonathanDOnly 8 cores, at 1.6Ghz, as I recall.16:49
JonathanDPIII class xeons.16:49
JonathanD4GB ram in each box.16:49
JonathanDRunning ESXi16:49
InHisNameOH,  I just bought a 1 U server made in '05  dual XEONs dual core  2.8Ghz  8 mem sockets.  Bought 16gigs but only recognizes half of it.  Beeps and fails if I fill all the slots.16:50
InHisName39lbs  1Ux19"x26"16:51
JonathanDI love my IBMs16:51
JonathanDyou see the table they're on?16:51
InHisNameinteresting now that I look at it.16:51
JonathanDThe table collapsed.16:51
JonathanDThey all kept working, although I had to pry PS2 pins out of some of the keyboard/mouse sockets16:52
InHisNamebefore or after the picture ?16:52
JonathanDbefore.16:52
JonathanDI didn't even know it happened til I went down to get something.16:52
JonathanDThey were still running and active :)16:53
InHisNameYOu were RDP into them and never much looked at the hardware ?16:53
JonathanDdepends on what I'm doing.16:53
JonathanDI usually just access it all from my laptop16:53
InHisNamevirtualBox is so cool16:53
InHisNameI like it better than vmware16:53
JonathanDI'm down there if I need to use the workbench but otherwise not so much anymore.16:53
JonathanDInHisName: I like ESXi as it's tiny.16:53
JonathanDtheres no full distro to keep updated.16:54
InHisNamethat s a virt system too?16:54
JonathanDYeah. it's an OS of sorts, though.16:54
JonathanDYou install it on the hardware, the VMs sit on top of it.16:54
JonathanDThere is no "host OS"16:54
InHisNameLoads on bare metal, then?16:54
JonathanDThe machine boots into vmware.16:54
JonathanDYou pretty much then do everything remotely.16:55
InHisNameESXi is a vmware product ?16:55
JonathanDYes16:55
JonathanDand ESXi is free.16:55
JonathanDThe full on ESX is not free.16:55
JonathanDThere are some servers with an ESXi on flash built in.16:55
InHisNamevbox headless works like that but needs a host OS same as normal one.16:55
JonathanDhttp://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere-hypervisor/overview.html16:56
PennBotTitle: Free VMware vSphere Hypervisor: Bare Metal Hypervisor (Based on VMware ESXi) (at www.vmware.com)16:56
InHisNameThe vmware I used made LOTS of extra files in one dir fortunately but still seems like a lot of support waste.  vbox hardly uses much more than the VDI file itself.   That one does sound intriguing16:58
JonathanDI quite like it.16:58
JonathanDI have mine setup with an NFS store for the VMs.16:58
JonathanDAny of those 4 boxes can start any VM.16:58
JonathanDI have some scripts in place that will move VMs all to one box, if I'm not going to use them for a while, so they can keep running without the power draw of all 4 boxes.16:59
InHisNameHave you compared it to MS hypervisor ?16:59
InHisNameDoes only one have clear better features ?16:59
JonathanDwell, ESXi has always had solid linux support, where MS it's sort of an afterthought.17:00
JonathanDAside from that, I've not spent a ton of time on it.17:00
JonathanDvmware has been at this a long time, and I've been a vmware user for near a decade now.17:00
InHisNameMeasured the KW from the 4 boxes in idle mode ?17:00
InHisNamei c17:01
JonathanDthey pull about 12 amps.17:01
JonathanDwell, the whole circuit does.17:01
JonathanDTheres switches and stuff on it though, too.17:01
JonathanDand 12 was "at boot"17:01
InHisNameThat's quite a bill if run 24x717:01
JonathanDwith the drives spinning up and such.17:01
JonathanDTheres usually only one running.17:01
JonathanDI think idle, with VMs runnig but not active, was bout 4.17:02
JonathanDI try to use them less during the summer, so I can just run on the one :p17:02
InHisNamedo you have a manager that starts up hardware and shuts down based on demand of use ?17:02
JonathanDnot directly.17:02
JonathanDJust a "collapse" and "restore" thing.17:02
JonathanDcollapse takes all the VMs on 3 of the machines, suspends them, then resumes them on the remaining one.17:03
InHisNameNow that would be real cool.  Then could back down to one or even less if you do nothing.17:03
JonathanDthen shuts them down.17:03
JonathanDrestore does the opposite.17:03
JonathanDexcept I never bothered to setup WOL so I have to turn them on first.17:04
JonathanDlunchtime17:04
InHisNameeat hearty!17:04
InHisNameanyone who can advise fixing any erorrs in setting up bind would be helpful  http://pastebin.ca/204832217:43
