[11:46] <bac> hi frankban
[12:08] <gary_poster> bac benji frankban call in 2
[12:08] <bac> gary_poster: ok
[12:11] <bac> gary_poster: could you invite me please
[12:45] <frankban> gary_poster: lpsetup package is ready and it works.
[12:46] <frankban> gary_poster: I will build the final-final packages once bac's branch is merged.
[12:54] <frankban> gary_poster: also updated https://dev.launchpad.net/yellow/ParallelTestingSetupForDataCentre (removed finish-init-host, s/init-host/init-target)
[13:12] <gary_poster> frankban, excellent thank you (and good memory for updating the data center instructions)
[14:18] <bac> benji: i failed in trying to make setup.py do something reasonable.  i took your suggestion and did http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1169907/
[14:19] <benji> bac: because of the London data center hating me, I can't see that paste
[14:20]  * gary_poster is trying to get bip set up
[14:25] <bac> benji: for fun you might try:
[14:25] <bac>  sudo ifconfig eth1 mtu 1476
[14:26] <benji> bac: already tried that
[14:26] <bac>  s/eth1/your if/
[14:26] <bac> dang
[14:26] <benji> (and that shouldn't have affected pings, being that they are small, single packets)
[14:27] <bac> benji: ah, right.  our problem was it hung after the first big packet
[14:27] <benji> that makes sense
[14:27] <bac> benji: so you cannot see lp?
[14:27] <benji> bac: who did you talk to?  I guess I need to escalate this problem
[14:27] <gary_poster> OK, I'm going to continue the bip experiment later, and take my laptop away from the dock...
[14:28] <bac> benji: lifeless and elmo
[14:28] <gary_poster> benji go to #is and look for the vaguard in the channel message
[14:28] <gary_poster> vanguard
[14:28] <benji> gary_poster: one guess where the canonical IRC server is hosted
[14:28] <gary_poster> or you can escalate straight to elmo
[14:28] <gary_poster> benji ah right :-/
[14:28] <benji> heh
[14:29] <gary_poster> benji, I'll be your intermediary.  give me a moment to change locations
[14:29] <benji> awesome
[14:31] <gary_poster> benji, deej is a vanguard so maybe he'll pay extra attention.  :-) Could you give me a benji-special succinct-yet-complete description of the problem and the diagnostics you have so far, so I can start the interaction with them on the right note?
[14:32] <bac> frankban: my branch should be in tarmac shortly, so if all goes well it'll merge in 15-20 minutes
[14:33] <benji> gary_poster: sure; ping packets appear to be dropped at ae-56-221.csw2.London1.Level3.net (4.69.153.130) without a RST or anything else coming back
[14:33] <gary_poster> benji, cool.  what's your ip?
[14:33] <benji> gary_poster: pings/connections/traceroutes from a Dallas datacenter work fine
[14:33] <frankban> great bac
[14:33] <benji> gary_poster: 68.119.108.42
[14:33] <gary_poster> ack
[14:34] <gary_poster> starting
[14:35] <benji> gary_poster: as far as I know nothing has changed with my network config in the last week; I think this started yesterday (I noticed my phone couldn't sync some pictures I took too one.ububutu.com)
[14:35] <bac> benji: you didn't mention it was charter.  abandon all hope...
[14:35] <benji> heh
[14:36] <benji> I could always set up a VPN through Dallas. ;)
[14:38] <gary_poster> benji, in the short term, that might not be a horrible idea.  deej reports:
[14:38] <gary_poster> Hrm, okay, that's an odd path through the network from the US, but there's a bit of a known network issue
[14:39] <gary_poster> We're opening a ticket with L3 I guess
[14:39] <benji> k
[14:39] <benji> yeah, it seems like a routing issue; probably an asymetric route and the back half is broken for some reason
[14:41] <gary_poster> benji, yeah, deej confirms they can't do anything in the short term.  He also says "gary_poster: I may be able to work out an alternate jump host for him if need be, I'm on Freenode as well he can hit me up if he has problems"
[14:41] <benji> when are you guys getting to the sprint?  is one of the airports preferable?
[14:42] <gary_poster> I was intending to show up Sunday; I have not talked to the travel agent yet.  flacoste is the one who would know about airports--you are asking about montreal, right benji?
[14:42] <gary_poster> I can ask him if so, and then spread out the knowledge
[14:42] <benji> gary_poster: ok; I can use my machine in Dallas, so no need for that.  I can use SSH port forwarding for a point solution and look into VPN if this drags on
[14:42] <gary_poster> ok cool
[14:42] <benji> gary_poster: right
[14:43] <gary_poster> ok will ask
[14:46] <bac> our tarmac instance on canonistack is thrashing.  will redeploy.
[14:48] <gary_poster> benji, YUL
[14:48] <benji> gary_poster: cool, that seems to be the popular one
[14:50] <gary_poster> benji, is the other one YUX?
[14:50] <gary_poster> Just out of curiosity
[14:50]  * bac upped our tarmac to m1.medium
[14:50] <benji> heh
[14:51] <bac> i think we need to parallelize our lpsetup tests suite
[14:51]  * bac ducks
[15:01] <benji> ooh!  I can see London again!
[15:03] <gary_poster> benji, ?
[15:03] <benji> gary_poster: I can route to the London data center (and the goodies therein) again
[15:05] <gary_poster> oh!  cool.  What with travel plans in the air--not to mention the ever-possible use of hallucinogenics ("I can see London!  There's a giant polka-dotted slug on top of the London Eye!  He's smiling at me!")--I did not immediately jump to the right interpretation.
[15:06] <benji> lol
[15:06] <benji> that or the next thing I was going to say was "I see France..."
[15:06] <gary_poster> Heh, that too
[15:11] <benji> gary_poster: the email about the product strategy summit says that "If you are attending UDS, you will receive a separate invite with further information."  should we book the "full" time now or wait on that email for booking PSS/UDS travel?

[15:33] <gary_poster> sorry, benji, I had started a reply and then was distracted.  you are on the spreadsheet, which is the important thing, I think
[15:34] <benji> gary_poster: cool, so I'll be arriving by the stated time (6pm) on Tuesday the 23rd and will be leaving mid-day on Thursday, November 1.  Sound right?
[15:35] <gary_poster> benji, yes cool.  I was going to get you the link to the spreadsheet; will try to remember to do so later
[15:35] <benji> k
[18:29] <bac> hey gary_poster, you have a second?  i'm looking at the cards and am a bit flummoxed trying to pick one.
[18:30] <gary_poster> sure bac
[18:30] <gary_poster> looking
[18:30] <gary_poster> bac you want a yellowsquad call?
[18:30] <bac> yep
[18:41] <bac> pots?
[18:42] <bac> gary_poster: cell?
[18:42] <gary_poster> ok :-)
[20:51] <BradCrittenden> hi gary_poster, here's what i propose to send out in a bit: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1170634/plain/
[20:51] <gary_poster> looking
[20:54] <gary_poster> BradCrittenden, that sounds great.  Thank you!
[20:54] <bac> so formal...
[20:58] <gary_poster> :-)
