christelah i got a Man out to trim my hedge and weed my beds the other week.. (because i can't tell the difference between weeds and Good Plants)07:28

TheOpenSourcererPotentially worrying development http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-inks-patent-deal-with-service-provider-using-linux-servers-7000001498/ Be nice to know what the background to this is? What are the patents? Why did Amdocs roll over and take it like that?08:01
directhexTheOpenSourcerer, naming patents destroys their power08:01
directhexTheOpenSourcerer, the aim is to keep things vague08:01
TheOpenSourcererI agree, but presumably Amdocs didn't  just go "Oh we do infringe some of your patents? Sorry. How much do you want then?"08:02
TheOpenSourcererB&N Argued the toss and ended up getting money from MS!08:03
directhexTheOpenSourcerer, "you could pay patent insurance for £X, or we could tell you which patents in the court filings for 176 x £X, your call"08:03
bigcalmGood morning peeps :)08:05
christelmorning bigcalm :)08:05
bigcalmchristel: being greeted by you is a good way to start the day08:06
christelhaha08:06
christel<308:06
* AlanBell is off to the Olympics Opening Ceremony later08:07
jacobwdirecthex: patents are like Voldemort?08:07
bigcalmAlanBell: good luck!08:08
bigcalmSomething keeps killing mysqld on my bytemark server. But I can't work out what. Nothing in mysql's logs or syslog08:09
bigcalmAnybody with other ideas?08:09
DJonesAlanBell: I thought it was Friday08:09
directhexjacobw, yes. worse than that, if you violate a patent unknowingly the penalty legally is X, if you check to see whether you violate any patents first and decide "no" or "yes but i don't care" (there's no legal difference between those two) then it's much higher than X. it's legally safer not to know whether you violate patents08:09
AlanBellDJones: ah, but special people get to go today08:09
TheOpenSourcererjacobw: Software Patents approved in the USA are mostly stupid. Patents in general are not a bad idea, as long as they really do protect "Inventions"08:09
DJonesHeh08:09
DJonesAlanBell: So you were the person G4S employed for security08:10
jacobwdirecthex: /o\08:10
bigcalmHehe08:10
christelhaha08:10
directhexTheOpenSourcerer, patents are a limited government-granted monopoly. like copyrights, the terms should only be a couple of years in this millennium, not getting longer08:11
brobostigoni think headwear would be a good idea today.08:12
diplobigcalm: Issue with resources is the only thing I'd have a guess at ?08:13
TheOpenSourcererPharmaceutical Co.s who spend billions and tens of years developing new drugs are the kind of area where patents are relevant. Not for some blokes idea to make a tablet with rounded corners.08:13
bigcalmdiplo: 31GB of space available08:14
diploI meant mem/cpu08:14
popeymorning08:14
TheOpenSourcererlo popey08:14
christeli hate patents, with a passion08:14
christel(though this might be because the ones i come across are ridiculously complicated)08:14
* popey might have lunch in the park in farnham today08:15
bigcalmdiplo: mysqld is currently taking 14% of the system's memory, but that's because I've just started it back up08:15
bigcalmMorning popey!08:15
popeyTheOpenSourcerer, there's still wifi on the bandstand isnt there?08:15
MartijnVdSIf not, there's always 3G08:15
* TheOpenSourcerer wonders if there is not a suitable park in Farnborough for popey08:15
popeynah, its just that the kids are going there08:15
popeythought I'd go along08:16
TheOpenSourcererpopey: I have no idea. Is there?08:16
popeyhttp://www.farnham.gov.uk/life/news/article/325.html08:16
diplobigcalm: Looked into whether mysql can log it's processes more verbosely ?08:16
bigcalmdiplo: server isn't under any real load: 0.02, 0.06, 0.0608:16
diploJust having a quick google now08:16
TheOpenSourcererNice. TY popey08:17
TheOpenSourcererI will remember that.08:17
bigcalmdiplo: thing is I never know when it actually dies. It's one of my parents' friends that emails me when their site stops working08:17
christeloh pretty neat, i didn't know that08:17
popeythats one of the reasons we had the geeknic around it at oggcamp08:17
diplonagios and monitor it?08:17
* bigcalm goes to camp in Farnham08:17
christelhehe08:18
bigcalmdiplo: I guess so. Never used nagios before though :)08:18
bigcalmpopey: I had no idea about the free wifi for the geeknick. Needs more publicising08:19
AlanBellpopey: yes, the free wifi in gostrey meadow works great08:20
jacobwbigcalm: does upstart restart the process?08:24
bigcalmjacobw: it's meant to I guess08:25
christelbah today appears to be one of those days where my mug is leaking.. it keeps being empty :(08:28
directhexMark Zuckerberg, the man who some believe has done more to erode privacy than anyone else, has been awarded his first ever patent … for privacy. Patent #8,225,376 limits what users reveal online by implementing a privacy policy on their status updates and profile information.08:32
directhex\o/08:32
* daubers wonders if he can patent a method of protecting the revenue stream for commonly implimented technologies08:33
jacobwhehe08:36
diplobigcalm: Sorry was on the phone08:42
diploCan give you a hand if you want to set it up08:42
bigcalmWow, it doesn't look simple to setup :)08:45
diploIt's actually quite simple tbh08:45
diploIt's just a pain for the first time to look at it :)08:45
bigcalmOk :)08:45
* bigcalm stops googling for howtos08:46
diplobasically on initial install you will have a localhost.cfg in /etc/nagios/objects ( I think )08:47
diploand nagios.cfg in /etc/nagios08:47
diploSo copy localhost and call it mysql-mums.cfg or something08:47
frecklebigcalm: If you are going to start using Nagios then nagstamon is a great little app fpr the desktop08:47
diplothen edit nagios.cfg to load the new cfg08:47
bigcalmfreckle: this is for a VPS08:47
diploAnd restart nagios08:48
diplothat's about as simple as it needs to be, you can make it a lot more involved :)08:48
frecklebigcalm: yes, it sits on your desktop and alerts you when there is an issue reported by your nagios08:48
bigcalmI see08:48
BigRedSbigcalm: there's also the Nagios firefox plugin08:48
BigRedSI used nagstamon for a bit but it was much more prone to random behaviour than the plugin08:49
diploEither install nagios nrpe or use check_by_ssh08:49
bigcalmnagios3 from the repositories?08:49
BigRedSalso, anag on android seems brilliant08:49
diploYep bigcalm08:49
bigcalmTa08:49
diplosh-3.2$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -H 192.168.1.16 -landy -C uptime08:49
diploheh08:49
* diplo is actually playing atm08:50
frecklenever had an issue with nagstamon08:50
frecklethere is a plugin for mysql in nagios.. use it to check status of replication08:50
bigcalmIt's just installed samba :|08:51
frecklebigcalm: better to complile from source for that very reason08:52
bigcalmToo late :D08:52
diploNooooo don't compile from source!08:52
diploI really don't understand why people still do, not worth the hassle08:53
frecklediplo: it's callled freedom :)08:53
diploThinking of all the services i monitor and all the servers i monitor, I've never bothered with mysql.. guess we haven't had any issues08:54
diploYeah, also a PITA :)08:54
frecklediplo: not for me08:54
popeybigcalm, I'd recommend OpsView over nagios08:55
frecklewhen you have a bunch of mysql with 2 way replication and queries per second in the high 100's you want to monitor08:55
diploNot compiled anything for everyday use since Qmail for mail server many years ago08:55
diployeah that's a different usercase i guess08:56
diploI would think about it then as well, but generally I'd advise most people to install from repos for stuff like this.08:56
* bigcalm grumbles at computers08:56
bigcalmpopey: reasons?08:57
popeyeasier to configure08:57
popeyits based on nagios08:57
freckleyou could write your own monitoring system like we did at work with SNMP ;)08:58
diploAlso Icinga, Web2.0 style.. also based on nagios08:58
diploThat's what we used to do before Nagios and something beginning with C that I've forgotten08:59
diploperl scripts and snmp modules08:59
diploCentreon09:00
BigRedS"perl scripts and snmp modules" roughly describes Nagios :)09:01
diploheh, pretty much yeah.. not sure whether we hadn't heard of it or what before09:02
JamesTaitGood morning all! :)09:02
diploI suggested Nagios after seeing a supplier and them offering us WhatsUp Gold ? Maybe for like 20k09:02

directhexMartijnVdS, correct on both counts!10:23
directhexxp 64-bit was 5.2 though10:24
MartijnVdShence the tons of incompatibilities?10:24
directhexyes. 5.2 is the server 2003 version number, so most apps checking the version would refuse to install on a "server os"10:24
* MartijnVdS has new shininess: https://plus.google.com/100189567362844794281/posts/ERNWNmFK96W10:24
directhexwin7 was numbered 6.1 so any apps checking for vista support (6) would work10:25
MartijnVdSThere was some legal reason for a Windows version number10:25
MartijnVdSwas it NT 3.51 or 4?10:25

njaI speak SQL @TheOpenSourcerer10:31
njaNow that I did tag wrong10:31
MartijnVdSnja: natively?10:31
TheOpenSourcererI need some advice on joins etc.10:31
BigRedS you speak SQL *at* him? Poor TheOpenSourcerer10:32
MartijnVdSnja: just mention people's names, it's not Twitter :)10:32
BigRedS:)10:32
TheOpenSourcererMight need to do some patebining10:32
TheOpenSourcererhang on.10:32
* MartijnVdS hangs on10:32
nja@MartijnVdS WHAT?!?10:32
njaNot Twitter!10:32
MartijnVdSಠ_ಠ @ nja10:32
njaIt's what my IRC client likes best so I'll obey it.10:32
TheOpenSourcererThis http://paste.ubuntu.com/1109867/ gets me a list of records that I want.10:33
TheOpenSourcererI have another table which has a column called related_to that has some records (more than one) that will match the crmid values. How do I write the correct join statement?10:34
TheOpenSourcererWhen I try I end up with millions of rows of dupes ;-(10:34
TheOpenSourcererThe query above returns about 2.5k rows10:34
njaNever tried joins before so I wouldn't trust my advice if I were you.10:35
MartijnVdSTheOpenSourcerer: so you want the records from the other table, or just the ones from vtiger_crmentity that are referred to?10:35
BigRedSTheOpenSourcerer: I don't do much SQL, but how are you expecting it to know which related_to it wants you to match up with teh first table?10:36
TheOpenSourcererI want the list of records in table2 that have an id in the related_to column that matches a value in the result of my first query.10:36
jacobwnja: Does your IRC client replace 'jacobw' with '@jacobw'?10:37
jacobwnja: Where do get the @ from10:37
nja@jacobw No, it just highlights it with ther person's colour.10:37
MartijnVdSTheOpenSourcerer: SELECT columns_you_want FROM second_table s JOIN first_table f ON (s.related_to = s.id) WHERE s.field = 'some_value' AND ...10:37
MartijnVdSnja: strange client is strange ;)10:38
nja@MartijnVdS Smuxi is only in beta. ;)10:38
MartijnVdSTheOpenSourcerer: you have to prefix column names with "s." or "f." depending on which table you want to get them from10:38
njaCan someone else do an @ tag for me?10:39
njaSo I can see hwat it looks like.10:39
MartijnVdS@moo10:39
njaWith an actual person please...  Not me cause it does something else for that.10:39

bigcalmThat's like asking everybody to stop using email and start using Google Wave10:42
nja@bigcalm It was a good idea!10:42

bigcalmNo company wants bad press10:43
oimoni replied to email people again. will wait for response10:43

oimonwent to this page and froze the whole browser hard http://www.petri.co.il/host-drs-affinity-rules-vsphere-4-1.htm11:23
BigRedSoimon: allegedly, this is frequently down to add-ons11:26
BigRedSsomeone was saying that the leakiness of an add-on is roughly proportional to its popularity, which sounds incredibly sub-optimal11:26
oimonyeah, the firefox web browser one :P11:26
oimoni only have a couple11:26
BigRedSI did find a huge leap in performance when I disabled mine11:26
BigRedSyeah, I had three. Web-dev, firebug and nagios. Disabling all of them suddenly made FF act as if it were a modern browser11:27
oimonthe performance is one thing, hard crashes are another11:27
oimonadblock?11:27
BigRedSI didn't have it installed, but that's a biggie for leakiness11:27
oimoni just have adblock plus and ubuntu firefox modifications11:27

BigRedSI don't think there's any site I visit with any degree of regularity with ads like that11:29

KungFuPandahi guys, how to change webuser to be www-data instead of apache ?16:23
KungFuPandaI do not why my webuser become apache?16:23
KungFuPandaanything upload by user from browser will own by apache16:24
dogmatic69KungFuPanda: stop using a lamp package16:25
BigRedSKungFuPanda: it's in the apache2 config file16:25
KungFuPandaha ?16:26
BigRedS'user' and 'group' directives16:26
dogmatic69sudo apt-get install apache2 :)16:26
KungFuPandais that the reason ? :-D our server still using apache ? not apache2 ?16:26
KungFuPandadamn I just log into our server, that is why I can not find apache2ctl16:27
BigRedSno, the old apache package used www-data, too16:27
BigRedSbut just edit the config16:27
BigRedSif you reinstall you're boudn to lose some other config you're already reliant upon. But, in general, it's a good idea to just use the apache out of the repos16:27
BigRedSit's generally best to use everything out of the repos16:28
KungFuPandaI try cat /etc/passwd, I can not find www-data user16:28
BigRedSthen you'll need to add one16:28
BigRedSit'll only be created for you if you've installed the repo-supplied apache16:28
BigRedSif you've something custom-built then there's no reason for that user to exist16:28
KungFuPandaok thanks, all right, the problem is current user upload a image from browser, which own by apache, and I want to preview it from browser, but no permisson to view it, any idea ?16:30
KungFuPandathe whole upload folder full access 777, only the file 60016:31
BigRedSso the file is uploaded by apache and lands owned by apache:apache, and then apache comes along and cannot serve it to you?16:34
BigRedSI assume there's nothing in the Apache config to prevent it?16:34
KungFuPandayes, after image uploaded, I got a preview link in the same page, but I just can not view the image from browser16:36
BigRedSif you su to 'apache' can you cd to the directory containing the image and then run file on it?16:36
KungFuPandaI should be able to see it right ? even the file owned by apache:apache16:36
BigRedSthat'll check apache has enough filesystem permissions to get there16:36
BigRedSis all this code running as the same site? Is it all in the same language?16:37
KungFuPandathe same site, the same language16:37
BigRedSit's not _that_ unusual for PHP to be run through mod_php as 'apache' and CGI to be suexeced to your user in some shared environments, for example16:37
BigRedSah, cool16:37
BigRedSyeah, can apache su there?16:37
BigRedSer, cd16:37
KungFuPandasu apache,16:40
KungFuPandaThis account is currently not available.16:40
jacobwwhat?16:41
jacobwsu actually says that?16:41
KungFuPandayes16:41
bigcalmIf it's a debian/ubuntu machine, it'll be www-data. Not apache16:41
BigRedSbigcalm: he said earlier it's apache and there is no www-data user16:41
bigcalmAh, sorry :)16:41
* bigcalm goes back to work16:42
BigRedShaha16:42
BigRedSKungFuPanda: try specifying a shell16:42
BigRedSsu - apache -s /bin/bash16:42
jacobwdebianized apache is much more friendly than the redhat distribution16:43
bigcalmAye, the login might be set to /bin/false or nologin16:44
BigRedSyeah, redhatites tend to complain that debianised apache is patronising16:44
BigRedSI think they'd prefer it all in one massive file with no comments16:44
jacobwmy problem is that they have do have a massive file with configuration sprinkled between endless comments16:45
KungFuPandaI do not know that the system is runing,16:46
KungFuPandacat /etc/passwd16:46
KungFuPandagot this:16:46
KungFuPandaapache:x:48:48:Apache:/var/www:/sbin/nologin16:46
BigRedSjacobw: ah yeah. I've had that problem with dovecot recently16:46
BigRedSI'm slowly replacing all our multi-KB dovecot.confs with my 11-line one...16:47
bigcalmUse chsh to change the shell of the apache user16:47
jacobwBigRedS: yeah, dovecot as well :)16:48
KungFuPandadamn, I do not know the apache password16:49
BigRedSKungFuPanda: there probably isn't one16:49
bigcalmIndeed16:49
BigRedSbecome root before suing to apache16:49
bigcalmUse sudo chsh16:49
BigRedSthen you wont need one16:49
njaHello again all.  I'm back to annoy you all.16:49
BigRedSoh, or that16:49
bigcalmOr sudo su - apache16:49
jacobwsudo -u apache16:50
* BigRedS defers to the proper way of doing it16:50
bigcalmI think you might have to change the shell of the apache user before you can su to it16:50
BigRedSyeah, or supply a shell16:51
BigRedSsudo su apache -s /bin/bash16:51
KungFuPandaok, sudo su apache -s /bin/bash , this one works16:57
KungFuPandaI can go into that folder and see the file16:57
KungFuPandaas apache user16:58
BigRedScool16:58
BigRedSso there's no filesystem reason why Apache can't read that16:58
BigRedSand so there must be something in teh apache config stopping it16:58
BigRedSand that's harder to debug :)16:59
BigRedSwhat is the path to the file, out of interest?16:59
KungFuPandaI found it, damn, I am stupid, the url wrong16:59
BigRedSfrequently, /var/www and /home/*/public_html are the only permitted places16:59
BigRedSah!16:59
bigcalm:D16:59
KungFuPandathanks all16:59
BigRedShaha!16:59

cbx33hey peeps18:00
cbx33anyone here good on licensing?18:00
cbx33been working on an android app18:01
cbx33using cordova and jquerymobile18:01
cbx33cordova is released using the Apache license, and jquerymobile is release dual license GPL + MIT18:02
cbx33I'm wondering what restrictions are imposed on me and what obligations I have18:02
cbx33I have read through the T=C18:02
cbx33but just wanted to confirm my thoughts with someone that knows a little more about licensing than I18:03
AlanBellcbx33 have you modified either of them?18:04
cbx33nope18:05
cbx33I've only added my own index.html into the assets18:05
cbx33and compiled the apk package18:06
AlanBellfine, so basically be clear about what precisely is in it18:10
AlanBellread the licenses too18:10
cbx33AlanBell, I have done18:10
AlanBelland keep your own copies of the sources18:10
cbx33just wanted to confirm with someone else that has read them18:10
cbx33meaning? I don't need to release the sources?18:11
AlanBellkeep an archive version of the precise release you are using18:11
AlanBellunminified18:11
cbx33oh....of jquery you mean?18:12
AlanBellyeah, and probably the other18:12
cbx33ok18:12
cbx33so the Actual source18:13
cbx33not just he libs that they created18:13
cbx33s/he/the18:13
AlanBellyeah18:13
cbx33ok18:13
cbx33I did read that18:13
cbx33what isd that for exactly?18:13
cbx33sorry for my ignorance18:14
cbx33my fist time releasing somethin like this18:14
AlanBellif someone asks for it you don't want to depend on the jquery website being up18:14
cbx33ahhh18:14
cbx33ok18:14
AlanBellor keeping that version etc18:15
cbx33so who "would" ask me for it18:15
AlanBellnobody18:15
cbx33hehh18:15
cbx33and i can sell it? (not that I'm wanting to)18:15
AlanBellsure18:16
cbx33cool18:16
cbx33and i don't have to provide access to any source?18:16
cbx33under Apache license and MIT?18:16
AlanBellyou can do that regardless of the license you are using for your code18:16
AlanBellnot for your stuff with those licences18:17
cbx33for their stuff?18:17
cbx33do i have to link to their sources?18:17
cbx33and i know YANAL18:18
AlanBellit would be nice to credit them18:18
cbx33of course i will18:18
cbx33and include their licenses18:18
cbx33but j=was just wondering about links to source18:18
cbx33GPL you have to right?18:18
AlanBelldepending on how tight the integration is, probably18:19
cbx33yeh18:19
cbx33in case you are wondering it's an app to help people learn Regex18:19
cbx33and has a javascript based tester18:20
cbx33and a regex dictionary18:20
AlanBellnice18:20
ali1234is learning regex really a useful thing in this day and age?18:22
cbx33I would say most definitely18:22
cbx33i use it at least several times a month18:22
cbx33been doing a lot of work on splunk recently and it is essential if you want to pull out custom fields and cool information18:23
ali1234i have no idea what that is18:23
ali1234i find regexp is always either overkill or inadequate for the task18:24
cbx33well I'll be honest, I love it18:26
cbx33if you have a huge log file with ip addresses scattered around18:26
ali1234i only really know a small amount of regexp syntax but it's enough, except when i'm trying to figure out a regexp written by someone else18:26
cbx33regex for me is the easiest way to find them :)18:26
ali1234yeah... that's the thing though18:27
ali1234"find all the IPs in this arbitrarily formatted text blob" isn't really something i need to do often18:27
cbx33nope18:27
cbx33as a sysadmin, it's a task we do a fair amount18:27
ali1234nearly always there is some kind of format to the input18:28
cbx33(as an example) and things like this.....take the output of the ping command and create an average of the latency18:28
ali1234and exploiting that is usually easier than trying to make a perfect regexp18:28
ali1234especially if it's html/xml18:28
ali1234yeah... you know ping outputs averages right?18:28
cbx33I said it was an exmaple18:28
cbx33but you could have a running average :)18:28
cbx33every second18:29
ali1234mtr18:29
cbx33I know, I know bad example18:29
cbx33I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THAT !!!18:29
cbx33:p18:29
ali1234this is it - there's things regexp is good at... bt nobody does them in the real world :)18:29
cbx33we do for quick jobs :)18:31
cbx33"get me some stats on that compute grid within the next 3 hours" - I don't mess about with documentation generally18:32
cbx33I just get the stats18:32
cbx33:)18:32
ali1234for quick jobs i use python18:32
* cbx33 too18:34
cbx33regex in python18:34
cbx33bbl18:36
cbx33thanks AlanBell18:36
BigRedSI do things requiring regexes all the time18:57
BigRedSwell, I say 'requiring', sometimes it's easier to use a regex someone else has already written...18:57
jacobwlogcheck requires regular expressions :)19:01
jacobwlike, hundreds of them19:01
Azelphurwhat's the deal with channel registration on freenode?19:04

soreauI usually just use cp -a20:26
Azelphursoreau: hehe, was wondering if cp -a would work, does that get grub too?20:27
soreauAzelphur: No, just for copying linux from one partition to another20:27
Azelphurah :)20:27
soreauI usually always plan to reinstall grub at leat20:27
soreauleast*20:27
