[00:10] <hads> Hmm. Trying to install 12.04 server on a new board but it keeps rebooting when formatting the drive.
[00:15] <ajmitch> that doesn't sound promising
[00:16] <hads> Might try a different drive to start with and see what happens.
[00:16] <hads> Then I guess I'll try a different version.
[01:56] <hads> Tried a different drive (HDD vs SSD) and it rebooted more often. It was the PSU. I replaced it with an older less powerful one and it works :)
[01:58] <ajmitch> at least it was something easily replaced
[01:58] <olly> well, they do say power corrupts
[01:58] <hads> heh
[01:58] <hads> New server for home soon, yay.
[01:58] <hads> Finally a box that fits in my rack rather than sitting on the bench next to it.
[04:37] <ibeardslee> Wellington peoples, there is a move to get WellyLUG off and running again .. #wellylug (on freenode, not the previous host)
[05:08] <elky> ##wellylug actually
[19:20] <olly> morning
[19:24] <hads> morning
[19:30] <ajmitch> morning
[19:55] <hads> Snap are still working trying to sort out my upload speed; http://www.speedtest.net/result/2574126647.png
[19:56] <ajmitch> yeah that's a bit low
[19:57] <hads> I can get 45mbit with a UDP iperf but TCP is quite limited. Possibly something to do with the shapers on Chorus equipment.
[19:58]  * ajmitch is still waiting for the street to get fibre
[19:58] <ajmitch> so far they've cut into the ashphalt
[19:59] <hads> I think took about 4-6 weeks from digging up to being finished. Then another 6-8 weeks for them to hook up the cabinet etc.
[20:00] <ibeardslee> morning
[20:03] <ajmitch> at which point I might as well not bother for the year unless I know I'll be there for at least another 12 months
[20:04] <ajmitch> it was originally scheduled for sept 2012, then pushed back to being live by 1st march according to the letter in my mailbox :)
[20:06] <ibeardslee> there are running some UFB up towards me .. but that is pretty arse really, there is TelstraClear cable available in my area .. they should be focusing on areas that have no reasonable alternative to shitty adsl
[20:07] <ibeardslee> .. although I'm sure that some would argue that T/C cable is not a reasonable alternative
[20:11] <G> ibeardslee: considering at the moment the UFB maps make it look like our cities have chickenpox I'm going to assume there is a method behind their madness :)
[20:15] <ajmitch> hads: so I'm guessing the 12-month obligation to snap is from when the connection is fully in place
[20:36] <hads> I'm not actually sure, I assumed from when they bill you.
[20:40] <ajmitch> given that I'm in an apartment building, it'll probably take 3 months to get connected from when the street is finished
[20:41] <hads> Probably
[20:41] <ajmitch> so much back & forth between different parties
[20:42] <hads> One of the reasons my issue is taking a while to figure out is because Chorus don't do Chirstchurch so Snap can't get an equivilent last mile network to test with.
[20:43] <ajmitch> you'd think they'd have a few christchurch customers
[20:43] <hads> They do but the UFB network in Christchurch isn't built out by Chorus.
[20:43] <hads> So it's different equipment in the cabinets etc.
[21:10] <thumper> morning
[21:39] <G> hads: you'd think they'd have a test connection in say Auckland where they do have a Chorus last mile :)
[23:24] <hads> G: You would think but I don't believe they have. Well they like to courier me a box with iperf installed to do tests so it doesn't seem like it.
