[00:41] ok so my alsa driver is up to date [00:41] how do i get it to use my onboard? [00:41] there apparently are 3 devices [00:41] there are* [00:48] jrmy: aplay -l will list your devices (in terminal) [00:48] alsamixer is always a good place to start with sound...no MM's and pcm up [00:49] well i have one.. but its not working when i try playing a music file [00:49] so i guess i'll get alsamixer [00:49] sudo apt-get alsamixer? [00:49] try alsamixer in the terminal [00:52] odd even after switching to the sound card i still cant hear the mp3 [00:54] i just updated my alsa driver too [00:54] maybe the jack is broken? [00:55] there is another sound card i can test [00:56] but i dont see why i cant hear an mp3 [01:00] not the wrong jack.. clearly labeled [01:00] any ideas? [01:00] just tried watching a youtube video and no sound either [01:02] did you try alsamixer and make sure it's not muted(MM) and pcm is up? [01:04] ah.. stuff was muted [01:04] lol [01:04] i remember that error that it said once [01:05] sweet [01:06] how would i tell if it sets it to m.. i suppose i could just save the session and it will reboot without mutes [01:06] lol.. finally [01:07] heh, you know what.. this is why i liek linux.. its fun to me to have to fix problems [01:07] windows is boring most of the time.. problems make things more interesting [01:07] and when the problems are solved it feels great :D [01:10] i wonder if its illegal to have other operating systems on a ps3 [01:11] i remember reading the terms of agreements and it didnt specifically say if you couldnt [01:11] well as far as i could understand it.. anyways probably innapropriate for this channel [01:11] thanks for the help [01:21] jrmy: no prob...play...learn..break stuff [01:23] :] [02:10] knightzero: hey. [02:23] jrmy is all helped up and gone. [02:45] jedijf: that worked just GREAT! [10:59] Morning PA [11:14] morning JonathanD [11:20] morning JonathanD [11:20] Morning guys [11:21] * JonathanD is looking for more speakers for fosscon... [14:19] Good morning, all. [14:21] hi. [14:21] bye [15:30] exit [15:30] exit [15:30] hrm, didn't work [15:30] I'm still here [15:43] howdy knightzero [15:47] Morning JonathanD [16:07] Howdy all - knightzero, andrew, JonathanD what great experiments can we do today to help me procrastinate my studies ? [16:24] you can play with the chrome experiments [16:30] I've been dabbling in distributed computing - providing a nice load for my air conditioner in my home office. Might be worth tinkering with. [16:31] this is why my heavy gear is in the basement :P [16:33] I'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] http://jdsnetwork.com/images/100_2770.JPG is my basement. [16:34] someone threw out a rack here, I tried to find someone to take it but no one could get it :/ [16:37] I wish I'd known - I'll put a homeless rack to good use any day. [16:38] I'm using a stereo cabinet :P [16:45] JonathanD: you have SUN equipt. r u running Solaris ? [16:45] InHisName: someone else has that now [16:45] I gave it to someone at lilug. [16:46] what does lilug stand for ? [16:46] long island linux users group [16:46] u live on LI ? [16:46] No. I live in Bridgeport, PA. [16:47] But I go to/host events all over the place. [16:47] Our camping trip gets a fair few from NY [16:47] Closer to me, actually probably half way between. [16:48] what are the big 4 things in foreground ? IBM servers ? [16:48] Yes. [16:48] My vmware environment. [16:48] how many cores total among the 4 boxes ? [16:48] They're pretty old ;) [16:49] XEONs? [16:49] Only 8 cores, at 1.6Ghz, as I recall. [16:49] PIII class xeons. [16:49] 4GB ram in each box. [16:49] Running ESXi [16:50] OH, 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. [16:51] 39lbs 1Ux19"x26" [16:51] I love my IBMs [16:51] you see the table they're on? [16:51] interesting now that I look at it. [16:51] The table collapsed. [16:52] They all kept working, although I had to pry PS2 pins out of some of the keyboard/mouse sockets [16:52] before or after the picture ? [16:52] before. [16:52] I didn't even know it happened til I went down to get something. [16:53] They were still running and active :) [16:53] YOu were RDP into them and never much looked at the hardware ? [16:53] depends on what I'm doing. [16:53] I usually just access it all from my laptop [16:53] virtualBox is so cool [16:53] I like it better than vmware [16:53] I'm down there if I need to use the workbench but otherwise not so much anymore. [16:53] InHisName: I like ESXi as it's tiny. [16:54] theres no full distro to keep updated. [16:54] that s a virt system too? [16:54] Yeah. it's an OS of sorts, though. [16:54] You install it on the hardware, the VMs sit on top of it. [16:54] There is no "host OS" [16:54] Loads on bare metal, then? [16:54] The machine boots into vmware. [16:55] You pretty much then do everything remotely. [16:55] ESXi is a vmware product ? [16:55] Yes [16:55] and ESXi is free. [16:55] The full on ESX is not free. [16:55] There are some servers with an ESXi on flash built in. [16:55] vbox headless works like that but needs a host OS same as normal one. [16:56] http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere-hypervisor/overview.html [16:56] Title: Free VMware vSphere Hypervisor: Bare Metal Hypervisor (Based on VMware ESXi) (at www.vmware.com) [16:58] The 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 intriguing [16:58] I quite like it. [16:58] I have mine setup with an NFS store for the VMs. [16:58] Any of those 4 boxes can start any VM. [16:59] I 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] Have you compared it to MS hypervisor ? [16:59] Does only one have clear better features ? [17:00] well, ESXi has always had solid linux support, where MS it's sort of an afterthought. [17:00] Aside from that, I've not spent a ton of time on it. [17:00] vmware has been at this a long time, and I've been a vmware user for near a decade now. [17:00] Measured the KW from the 4 boxes in idle mode ? [17:01] i c [17:01] they pull about 12 amps. [17:01] well, the whole circuit does. [17:01] Theres switches and stuff on it though, too. [17:01] and 12 was "at boot" [17:01] That's quite a bill if run 24x7 [17:01] with the drives spinning up and such. [17:01] Theres usually only one running. [17:02] I think idle, with VMs runnig but not active, was bout 4. [17:02] I try to use them less during the summer, so I can just run on the one :p [17:02] do you have a manager that starts up hardware and shuts down based on demand of use ? [17:02] not directly. [17:02] Just a "collapse" and "restore" thing. [17:03] collapse takes all the VMs on 3 of the machines, suspends them, then resumes them on the remaining one. [17:03] Now that would be real cool. Then could back down to one or even less if you do nothing. [17:03] then shuts them down. [17:03] restore does the opposite. [17:04] except I never bothered to setup WOL so I have to turn them on first. [17:04] lunchtime [17:04] eat hearty! [17:43] anyone who can advise fixing any erorrs in setting up bind would be helpful http://pastebin.ca/2048322 [17:43] Title: pastebin - Untitled - post number 2048322 (at pastebin.ca) [18:35] @seen mutantturkey [18:35] jedijf: mutantturkey was last seen in #ubuntu-us-pa 4 days, 16 hours, 48 minutes, and 56 seconds ago: bark bark [19:25] Vusi Mahlasela was just talking about Ubuntu on The World Cafe! [19:26] not the distro, the concept [19:26] world cafe live? [19:26] "Ubuntu" sounds much cooler when spoken by a South African [19:26] haha [19:26] no, that's the music venue. the radio show's just called "the world cafe" [19:27] do I need to explain what "radio" is to you kids? [19:30] yes i know [19:30] but the show is from the venue right? [19:31] Close. The show's from WXPN, which is attached to WCL. [19:31] ah okay [19:32] some good bands play there [19:38] whoa, compiz works on the T41 :D [19:38] It hasn't worked for agggggggges.
