[00:41] <jrmy> ok so my alsa driver is up to date
[00:41] <jrmy> how do i get it to use my onboard?
[00:41] <jrmy> there apparently are 3 devices
[00:41] <jrmy> there are*
[00:48] <jedijf> jrmy: aplay -l   will list your devices (in terminal)
[00:48] <jedijf> alsamixer is always a good place to start with sound...no MM's and pcm up
[00:49] <jrmy> well i have one.. but its not working when i try playing a music file
[00:49] <jrmy> so i guess i'll get alsamixer
[00:49] <jrmy> sudo apt-get alsamixer?
[00:49] <jedijf> try alsamixer in the terminal
[00:52] <jrmy> odd even after switching to the sound card i still cant hear the mp3
[00:54] <jrmy> i just updated my alsa driver too
[00:54] <jrmy> maybe the jack is broken?
[00:55] <jrmy> there is another sound card i can test
[00:56] <jrmy> but i dont see why i cant hear an mp3
[01:00] <jrmy> not the wrong jack.. clearly labeled
[01:00] <jrmy> any ideas?
[01:00] <jrmy> just tried watching a youtube video and no sound either
[01:02] <jedijf> did you try alsamixer and make sure it's not muted(MM) and pcm is up?
[01:04] <jrmy> ah.. stuff was muted
[01:04] <jrmy> lol
[01:04] <jrmy> i remember that error that it said once
[01:05] <jrmy> sweet
[01:06] <jrmy> 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] <jrmy> lol.. finally
[01:07] <jrmy> heh, you know what.. this is why i liek linux.. its fun to me to have to fix problems
[01:07] <jrmy> windows is boring most of the time.. problems make things more interesting
[01:07] <jrmy> and when the problems are solved it feels great :D
[01:10] <jrmy> i wonder if its illegal to have other operating systems on a ps3
[01:11] <jrmy> i remember reading the terms of agreements and it didnt specifically say if you couldnt
[01:11] <jrmy> well as far as i could understand it.. anyways probably innapropriate for this channel
[01:11] <jrmy> thanks for the help
[01:21] <jedijf> jrmy: no prob...play...learn..break stuff
[01:23] <jrmy> :]
[02:10] <JonathanD> knightzero: hey.
[02:23] <InHisName> jrmy is all helped up and gone.
[02:45] <InHisName> jedijf: that worked just GREAT!
[10:59] <JonathanD> Morning PA
[11:14] <rmg51> morning JonathanD
[11:20] <InHisName> morning JonathanD
[11:20] <JonathanD> Morning guys
[11:21]  * JonathanD is looking for more speakers for fosscon...
[14:19] <knightze1o> Good morning, all.
[14:21] <JonathanD> hi.
[14:21] <JonathanD> bye
[15:30] <knightzero> exit
[15:30] <andrew> exit
[15:30] <andrew> hrm, didn't work
[15:30] <andrew> I'm still here
[15:43] <JonathanD> howdy knightzero
[15:47] <knightzero> Morning JonathanD
[16:07] <InHisName> Howdy all - knightzero, andrew, JonathanD    what great experiments can we do today to help me procrastinate my studies ?
[16:24] <andrew> you can play with the chrome experiments
[16:30] <knightzero> 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] <JonathanD> this is why my heavy gear is in the basement :P
[16:33] <knightzero> 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] <JonathanD> http://jdsnetwork.com/images/100_2770.JPG is my basement.
[16:34] <JonathanD> someone threw out a rack here, I tried to find someone to take it but no one could get it :/
[16:37] <knightzero> I wish I'd known - I'll put a homeless rack to good use any day.
[16:38] <JonathanD> I'm using a stereo cabinet :P
[16:45] <InHisName> JonathanD: you have SUN equipt.  r u running Solaris ?
[16:45] <JonathanD> InHisName: someone else has that now
[16:45] <JonathanD> I gave it to someone at lilug.
[16:46] <InHisName> what does lilug stand for ?
[16:46] <JonathanD> long island linux users group
[16:46] <InHisName> u live on LI ?
[16:46] <JonathanD> No. I live in Bridgeport, PA.
[16:47] <JonathanD> But I go to/host events all over the place.
[16:47] <JonathanD> Our camping trip gets a fair few from NY
[16:47] <InHisName> Closer to me,  actually probably half way between.
[16:48] <InHisName> what are the big 4 things in foreground ?  IBM servers ?
[16:48] <JonathanD> Yes.
[16:48] <JonathanD> My vmware environment.
[16:48] <InHisName> how many cores total among the 4 boxes ?
[16:48] <JonathanD> They're pretty old ;)
[16:49] <InHisName> XEONs?
[16:49] <JonathanD> Only 8 cores, at 1.6Ghz, as I recall.
[16:49] <JonathanD> PIII class xeons.
[16:49] <JonathanD> 4GB ram in each box.
[16:49] <JonathanD> Running ESXi
[16:50] <InHisName> 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] <InHisName> 39lbs  1Ux19"x26"
[16:51] <JonathanD> I love my IBMs
[16:51] <JonathanD> you see the table they're on?
[16:51] <InHisName> interesting now that I look at it.
[16:51] <JonathanD> The table collapsed.
[16:52] <JonathanD> They all kept working, although I had to pry PS2 pins out of some of the keyboard/mouse sockets
[16:52] <InHisName> before or after the picture ?
[16:52] <JonathanD> before.
[16:52] <JonathanD> I didn't even know it happened til I went down to get something.
[16:53] <JonathanD> They were still running and active :)
[16:53] <InHisName> YOu were RDP into them and never much looked at the hardware ?
[16:53] <JonathanD> depends on what I'm doing.
[16:53] <JonathanD> I usually just access it all from my laptop
[16:53] <InHisName> virtualBox is so cool
[16:53] <InHisName> I like it better than vmware
[16:53] <JonathanD> I'm down there if I need to use the workbench but otherwise not so much anymore.
[16:53] <JonathanD> InHisName: I like ESXi as it's tiny.
[16:54] <JonathanD> theres no full distro to keep updated.
[16:54] <InHisName> that s a virt system too?
[16:54] <JonathanD> Yeah. it's an OS of sorts, though.
[16:54] <JonathanD> You install it on the hardware, the VMs sit on top of it.
[16:54] <JonathanD> There is no "host OS"
[16:54] <InHisName> Loads on bare metal, then?
[16:54] <JonathanD> The machine boots into vmware.
[16:55] <JonathanD> You pretty much then do everything remotely.
[16:55] <InHisName> ESXi is a vmware product ?
[16:55] <JonathanD> Yes
[16:55] <JonathanD> and ESXi is free.
[16:55] <JonathanD> The full on ESX is not free.
[16:55] <JonathanD> There are some servers with an ESXi on flash built in.
[16:55] <InHisName> vbox headless works like that but needs a host OS same as normal one.

[16:56] <PennBot> Title: Free VMware vSphere Hypervisor: Bare Metal Hypervisor (Based on VMware ESXi) (at www.vmware.com)
[16:58] <InHisName> 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] <JonathanD> I quite like it.
[16:58] <JonathanD> I have mine setup with an NFS store for the VMs.
[16:58] <JonathanD> Any of those 4 boxes can start any VM.
[16:59] <JonathanD> 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] <InHisName> Have you compared it to MS hypervisor ?
[16:59] <InHisName> Does only one have clear better features ?
[17:00] <JonathanD> well, ESXi has always had solid linux support, where MS it's sort of an afterthought.
[17:00] <JonathanD> Aside from that, I've not spent a ton of time on it.
[17:00] <JonathanD> vmware has been at this a long time, and I've been a vmware user for near a decade now.
[17:00] <InHisName> Measured the KW from the 4 boxes in idle mode ?
[17:01] <InHisName> i c
[17:01] <JonathanD> they pull about 12 amps.
[17:01] <JonathanD> well, the whole circuit does.
[17:01] <JonathanD> Theres switches and stuff on it though, too.
[17:01] <JonathanD> and 12 was "at boot"
[17:01] <InHisName> That's quite a bill if run 24x7
[17:01] <JonathanD> with the drives spinning up and such.
[17:01] <JonathanD> Theres usually only one running.
[17:02] <JonathanD> I think idle, with VMs runnig but not active, was bout 4.
[17:02] <JonathanD> I try to use them less during the summer, so I can just run on the one :p
[17:02] <InHisName> do you have a manager that starts up hardware and shuts down based on demand of use ?
[17:02] <JonathanD> not directly.
[17:02] <JonathanD> Just a "collapse" and "restore" thing.
[17:03] <JonathanD> collapse takes all the VMs on 3 of the machines, suspends them, then resumes them on the remaining one.
[17:03] <InHisName> Now that would be real cool.  Then could back down to one or even less if you do nothing.
[17:03] <JonathanD> then shuts them down.
[17:03] <JonathanD> restore does the opposite.
[17:04] <JonathanD> except I never bothered to setup WOL so I have to turn them on first.
[17:04] <JonathanD> lunchtime
[17:04] <InHisName> eat hearty!
[17:43] <InHisName> anyone who can advise fixing any erorrs in setting up bind would be helpful  http://pastebin.ca/2048322

[19:25] <waltman> Vusi Mahlasela was just talking about Ubuntu on The World Cafe!
[19:26] <waltman> not the distro, the concept
[19:26] <MutantTurkey1> world cafe live?
[19:26] <waltman> "Ubuntu" sounds much cooler when spoken by a South African
[19:26] <MutantTurkey1> haha
[19:26] <waltman> no, that's the music venue. the radio show's just called "the world cafe"
[19:27] <waltman> do I need to explain what "radio" is to you kids?
[19:30] <MutantTurkey1> yes i know
[19:30] <MutantTurkey1> but the show is from the venue right?
[19:31] <waltman> Close. The show's from WXPN, which is attached to WCL.
[19:31] <MutantTurkey1> ah okay
[19:32] <MutantTurkey1> some good bands play there
[19:38] <JonathanD> whoa, compiz works on the T41 :D
[19:38] <JonathanD> It hasn't worked for agggggggges.
