[05:30] fp [05:30] Good morning [05:32] morning [05:36] Morning :-) === Kerbero is now known as Kerbero[afk] === SmilyBorg_w is now known as SmilyBorg === Kerbero[afk] is now known as Kerbero [08:20] guten morgen alle lookenspeepers [08:29] Watse goed ? [08:30] goeie more [08:34] mazal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blinkenlights [08:34] hi bakuman [08:34] hi! [10:10] charlvn: lookenspeepers? [10:12] Blinkenlights? hmm... [10:16] Does anyone know what could cause Samba to be VERY slow. Copies at only 300 to 800kb/s on 100mb/s lan ? [10:16] I can't find the cause and tried the buffer settings thing , but nothing helps [10:17] I tested with iperf and the test gets 9.3mb/s speed. Also my apache speed is fine. So it seems to be related to samba only [10:27] Working on some more info , just trying to find my post on the forum [10:28] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1984691&page=2 [10:28] The relevant stuff is from post nr 20 [10:30] Post nr 18 actually [10:35] mazal: firstly, that's 100 megaBITS per second, not BYTES [10:35] secondly, are you copying to or from a Windows box? [10:43] Superfly I know [10:43] I should get at least 9mb/s , not 300kb/s [10:44] From Windows XP to Ubuntu server 11.10 [10:44] Apache fine , ssh fine , iperf test get's 9mb/s , only Samba copies at 300 to 800kb/s [10:45] mazal: OK, well, Windows' networking stack is a mess to behold, so copying speeds are always slow. secondly, things will *always* vary over a network [10:45] Not that slow Superfly [10:45] I get the normal 9mb/s to my other Ubuntu server on the same network from the same client [10:46] * superfly doesn't use samba, so he can't help much further than point out networking [ab]normalities [10:47] One is 10.10 , other one is 11.10 [10:47] Something is very badly wrong [10:48] mazal: when did this start? [10:48] Right from the word go [10:49] Since installation [10:49] At first I saw that my ssh login takes very long [10:49] broken DNS? [10:49] mazal: dude, I don't get your attitude on the forums. Windows always needs extra external tools to do ANY troubleshooting, and you're moaning that you have to apt-get a package or two? [10:49] Then when I started to put data to the shares I immediately saw big problems [10:49] You are looking at 15 to copy 100mb [10:49] 15min even [10:50] though asking why a server is not connected to the internet, and asking about FTP are just stupid. [10:50] Superfly that is frustration that vented there because I always have to struggle because of a proxy [10:51] Anyway , that is not the issue [10:51] mazal: btw, generally if I have a problem, I ask on CLUG-chat/tech or GLUG-chat/tech [10:51] iperf have been installed and shows that my network is fine [10:51] Ubuntu Forums is full of people who think they know more than they do [10:52] And I also knew that struggling to get that app installed will help nothing as I knew my network is ok [10:52] Anyway , tests shows that it seems to be apache only [10:53] tumbleweed, why you say dns ? [10:53] mazal: if it's taking forever to log in by ssh, I'll bet that you have broken reverse DNS [10:53] ssh is fixed [10:53] But how can I check that tumbleweed ? [10:56] by looking up hostnames from IPs [10:56] I have double checked everything in interfaces as well as resolv.conf [10:56] anyway, no idea why your samba is slow [10:56] And all the ip's is correct in resolv.conf and interfaces [10:57] ok , thank you [11:04] I just tested to see if I can ping out using hostnames and that works fine. So I can see hostnames , IE my dns is fine ? [11:14] yup [11:14] oi , I have no idea what else to test. Went through all advice [11:16] is samba only slow when you access it from windows? or linux too? [11:16] anything interesting in the log files? [11:16] I don't have a Linux client here at work [11:16] Only two Ubuntu servers [11:17] My only ubuntu laptop is on a different server and can't see the server :-( [11:17] I am forced to use Windows [11:17] on a different network even [11:18] tumbleweed: I don't know which log files to check for this particular issue [11:19] samba's log files, and also have a lok over daemon.log [11:20] * mazal goes hunting for samba log files [11:25] inetpro: it's a very old thing, it's surprising to see how many people here don't know about it [11:27] mazal: is it only samba or is scp also slow? [11:30] Samba log files shows nothing and I don't have a daemon.log [11:30] charlvn: yup [11:30] only samba [11:30] ah ok [11:32] Hi Guys [11:33] I did the Pre-training assessment: Ubuntu Professional, on the canonical site.. says I got level 5.. what does that even mean? :| [11:34] NeVeR_: I wouldn't know, never heard of it before. [11:34] me neither [11:34] oic :| lol [11:34] this is an ubuntu support channel, not really a canonical channel [11:35] I want to get some sort of certification, looking at changing jobs.. I was just looking at some course at Obsysdian and it said I should do the pre-assesment... did it but it tells me nothing :P [11:35] charlvn: s/ubuntu support channel/ubuntu community channel/ [11:35] inetpro: you're right, community channel [11:36] NeVeR_: it's a good question, i don't really know what is considered a "good" option for certification [11:36] i, for one, have no formal linux certification, and that's the way i prefer to keep it [11:37] * inetpro agrees with charlvn [11:37] autodidacticism ftw! [11:38] i use such a stack of software, for me to even attempt to formally qualify myself in any of those is impractical [11:38] i just did a B.Sc. in software engineering for some background [11:39] autodidacticism++ [11:39] ok meeting bbl [11:39] charlvn: enjoy! [11:41] * inetpro checks the topic [11:41] I wonder how that Ubuntu Hour went on Saturday [11:42] hope someone can help us update the topic [11:45] NeVeR_: I know that Obsidian offers a number of certifications. It's probably a good idea to get a certification from them, and you might get a job through their connections [12:11] thanks for the info guys :) [12:48] Bye everyone , have a good afternoon [13:35] hiya maiatoday superfly and others [13:35] hi NeVeR_ [13:35] lol [13:37] hi Kilos [13:37] hi Kilos [13:37] hey charlvn all good [13:37] yup yup [13:37] just rainy [13:37] and you? [13:38] im good ty where is it raining? [13:38] where i live in unknown location :) [13:38] ha ha ha no man cant be the tvl so maybe the cape or natal [13:39] not .za [13:39] :) [13:39] ah [13:39] oh you also there [13:39] with psydroid and the smiley guy [13:39] "there"? [13:39] ah from my hostname charlvn.nl [13:40] good guess, that might or might not be correct [13:40] if you traceroute the url you will end up in germany [13:40] the hostname i mean [13:40] but that might or might not be where i live [13:40] not a guess you put in the country when you sign up with irc [13:41] or did you talk a lie [13:41] you don't "sign up" with irc, you just connect to a server [13:41] oh wait you are using a client like xchat that gives you the country? [13:41] lol ya [13:41] it just determines that by the cctld in the hostname [13:41] it has a list of cctlds and the corresponding names of the country [13:41] cctld? [13:42] country-code top level domain [13:42] .nl or .za or similar [13:42] Hi Kilos [13:42] :P [13:42] whew thats a mouthfull [13:42] yeah [13:42] you also get a gtld - a general top level domain [13:42] NeVeR_, are you new here? [13:42] generic, sorry, not general [13:43] Yea I'm new :) [13:43] NeVeR_, welcome to ubuntu-za [13:43] huurrrrrmmm, internet back :D [13:43] pew pew, weo weo [13:43] hi zeref [13:43] hi Kilos [13:43] hi zeref, your internet was down? [13:44] yeah since last wednesday [13:44] that sucks [13:44] wow that sucks zeref [13:44] wow since wednesday, that's a long time [13:44] zeref, arent you at the varsity? [13:45] my life was meh, for bout a week [13:45] thx :> is there a local entry point for this irc server?? [13:45] Kilos: webs at res... [13:45] NeVeR_, yes freenode [13:45] was lazy to go to campus, esp in the evening [13:46] yeah zeref too cold [13:46] NeVeR_, are you using xchat or quassel [13:46] neither at the moment lol... I' [13:46] I'm using a webclient [13:47] I'm on my work laptop.. its windows (puke) [13:47] its got windows [13:47] ok you can install xchat and set it up to come here easily [13:47] ouch [13:47] you get xchat for winsucks as well [13:48] lol I got Mirc on winsucks [13:48] mIRC [13:48] is it za.freenode.net ? [13:48] NeVeR_: afaik there are no south african servers for freenode [13:48] :( i see [13:48] nope [13:48] just freenode [13:48] there are a bunch in the usa, a bunch in europe, and one in australia [13:49] methinks xchat is easier than mirc [13:49] I can't connect from my work, delay is too bad.. just times out :\ can only connect through a web client [13:49] aw [13:49] it's ridiculous that the windows build of xchat is shareware [13:50] http://xchat.org/windows/ [13:50] NeVeR_, where are you? [13:50] Where am I? O_o Bryanston [13:51] oh i see there are some free non-official builds http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Chat [13:51] NeVeR_: freenode has an incredibly high ping timeout threshold so if that happens your internet is pretty screwed [13:52] or run linux inside a virtual machine and run xchat/irssi or similar inside of that, another alternative [13:52] NeVeR_, win 7 or xp? [13:52] Win 7 [13:52] I'll give xchat a try tonight... got lots of work to do for now :/ [13:52] Maaz, google free xchat for win7 [13:52] Kilos: "XChat: Multiplatform Chat Program" http://xchat.org/ :: "XChat for Windows" http://xchat.org/windows/ :: "X-Chat 2 for Windows" http://www.silverex.org/ :: "XChat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XChat :: "xchat Windows 7 - Free Download Windows 7 xchat" http://www.windows7download.com/free-win7-xchat/ :: "Download X-Chat for Windows 7 free - Windows 7 Download" http://www.windows7download.com/win7-x- [13:53] silverex is the one i just found [13:53] there are some more on the wikipedia page [13:53] yoooooh [13:54] I g2g :) Speakya guys later..
