HawkiesZAWell, maybe it'll only happen once06:56

charlhi psyatw 10:05
psyatwKilos. yes, you did10:06
Symmetriahrm10:07
SymmetriaIm looking for a developer 10:07
charlhi Symmetria 10:07
Symmetriasomeone good in perl or one of the other languages that can process text config files and produce me certain reports 10:07
Symmetriaand someone who is interested in 3 or 4 weeks of hard work with a very nice payday attached10:08
Symmetria;p10:08
Symmetria:) lo charl10:08
Symmetriaso if anyone knows anyone let me know10:08
charlpython is good for that type of tasks, and unlike perl, it has a nice readable syntax :)10:08
Symmetria(oh, and its pretty critical that the person have at least some understanding of networking, if not a very in depth knowledge of it)10:09
Symmetriacharl, would be happy with a python developer as well, I need the output, what language its written in10:09
SymmetriaI dont care :)10:09
Symmetriafor all i care, it could be written in visual basic ;p 10:09
charlouch :D10:09
charlif i still worked freelance i would have been interested10:10
charlbut i have a full time job now so i can't pick up massive quantity of work10:10
charlonly small things i can do after hours in my own time10:10
Symmetriawell, if ya know anyone, I have? a good coupla thousand dollars I can part with on this10:10
Symmetria(dependant on what the project ends up looking like, this could end up being worth 20 thousand dollars or something to someone)10:11
charlthat's not bad, are you looking for someone to work on it full time? 40 hours per week for a month?10:11
charlany preference on where they are based? must be in .za?10:12
Kiloshi neo31 10:17
neo31hi Kilos :)10:17
charlhi neo31 10:17
neo31hi charl  :)10:18

Kilosthats to make up for smileys i naver use10:19
charllol Kilos 10:19
Kilosnever either10:19
charllunch time, bbl10:21
Symmetriacharl, dont care where they are based11:07
Symmetriaand time, well, I need them to look at the project and tell me how much time they need11:07
Symmetriathe basic thing here is that we get what we need at the end of the day, the rest is all immaterial other than that this is really urgent11:08
charlSymmetria: i sent the above log to some developers i know, if they are interested i will pass them through11:54
charlSymmetria: i could take something on if it isn't too much work but if it's a lot of work there is no point because i need to do it after hours11:55

inetprogood afternoon13:32
inetprohi Kilos, kom jy reg oom?13:32
inetprodo we have anyone running their Ubuntu systems on Dell servers?13:33
ThatGraemeGuynot I13:34
* inetpro has an issue with a R71013:34
inetprowhen booting up get the following error:13:35
inetproyour battery is either charging, bad or missing, and you have VDs configured13:35
inetprofor write-back mode. Because the batteryis not currently usable, these VDs13:35
inetprowil actually run in write-through mode untilthe battery is fully charged or13:35
inetproreplaced if it is bad or missing.13:35
ThatGraemeGuy...13:35
ThatGraemeGuythere's more?13:35
tonberryE352replace the batteries?13:35
ThatGraemeGuyyeah, i don't see the ubuntu-related part :)13:36
inetproI swapped it out with another non-critical server13:36
inetprowhat I want to know,...13:36
inetprohow would one detect this kind of problem on a running server13:37
ThatGraemeGuyah13:37
Kilosdie ding het nou net gekom inetpro 13:37
tonberryE352pester dell until they release a tool?13:37
Kilosmoet eers help met ander goed13:37
ThatGraemeGuyyou'd need to try and get the utility for the RAID card to run under ubuntu13:37
inetprotonberryE352: you have someone I can talk to at Dell?13:38
tonberryE352no13:39
inetpro:-)13:39
ThatGraemeGuywe use IBM stuff here, they use IBM-branded LSI RAID hardware and we were able to get the LSI MegaRAID util running13:39
tonberryE352aren't they supposed to have good support or something13:39
ThatGraemeGuywhat raid card is it?13:39
inetprotonberryE352: We'll try to log a call and I'll take it from there, was just hoping someone here will perhaps have a quick answer for me13:40
inetproThatGraemeGuy: I assume it's Perc 613:40
tonberryE352ah no, sorry, playing with an old server is the limit of my experience13:41
* inetpro interrogating dmidecode to find out13:41
inetprohmm.... nothing in there13:42
ThatGraemeGuyinetpro: not familiar with Dell, but it seems to be a rebranded LSI, just like IBM does with their stuff13:42
ThatGraemeGuyinetpro: http://pookey.co.uk/wordpress/archives/46-dell-perc-6i-and-raid-monitoring13:42
ThatGraemeGuyalso http://serverfault.com/a/261117/4487, which is IBM-related, but may help too13:43
ThatGraemeGuymethinks inetpro is suffering terrible headaches. the kind only LSI's MegaCLI can bring about :-p13:55
Vince-0I think openIPMI can report that stuff14:03
inetproThatGraemeGuy: what bugs me is that they keep changing these things all the time14:06
inetproand one group of developers seems very pro open source while the next doesn't seem to have a clue what the previous group has done14:06
ThatGraemeGuywho is "they"?14:08
inetproThatGraemeGuy: good question14:14
inetpronot sure I know the answer to that :-)14:15
ThatGraemeGuyyou lost me :-/14:16
ThatGraemeGuyit bugs you that "they" keep changing "things" all the time14:16
ThatGraemeGuywho and what things?14:16
inetproI mean the people at Dell14:17
ThatGraemeGuyah14:17
inetproThatGraemeGuy: but thanks for those links, looks like something I need to go through in more detail14:19
ThatGraemeGuyno worries14:19
ThatGraemeGuyi also dread every time new models come along14:19
ThatGraemeGuylast year we got new IBM DS3500 storage arrays, and it took me more than a week of trial and error and tweaking to get the multipath.conf settings just right :-/14:20
ThatGraemeGuyand then when its time for the new LTS you start playing the "hold thumbs and hope this still works" for all those weird tweaks14:21
inetproexactly14:21
ThatGraemeGuyi still hope that one day ubuntu will enjoy the support that redhat/sles have from the vendors14:22
Kilosnuwe goed wat so pla inetpro ?14:28
* Kilos cries14:39
KilosMaaz, is http://support.billion.com/_Internet/usermanual/BiPAC7300N_UMEN.zip down14:39
MaazKilos: Yes, http://support.billion.com/_Internet/usermanual/BiPAC7300N_UMEN.zip is down (Server is not responding)14:39
Kiloscan one of you look at the mail from johan about the vodacom connection. i think he has to use something different to vodacom for his service provider14:52
Kilosi have no idea what it could be14:53
Kilos8ta installed here and showed in nm as 8.ta and i had to remove the . and just use 8ta in the script but have no idea what the vodacom would be14:54
Kilosplease14:54
Kilosmaybe vodacom instead of vodacom but i dont wanna mail try this or that if its wrong14:56
N8Wulfg'day All14:57
Kiloshi N8Wulf 14:57
N8Wulf_Grrr...! Stupid 3G14:59
Kiloswhats up N8Wulf 15:00
Kilosoh  you out inned15:00
N8Wulf_I made a booboo... I started with my media server HDD setups and part of it is that I wanna change the NTFS to Ext415:01
N8Wulf_I made a mistake though15:01
N8Wulf_terminal15:01
N8Wulf_mkdir Temp15:02
N8Wulf_mv /* Temp15:02
N8Wulf_and that ended up moving everything on / into one file called Temp15:03
N8Wulf_is there a way to retrieve or Undo this mess I created?15:03
N8Wulf_Please Mr Kilos15:04
Kilosoh my15:04
Kiloswhew the clever guys need to help here15:05
Kiloswhat if you reverse the command15:06
Kiloslike mv Temp /15:06
Kilosbetter wait for expert help15:06
Kilosand im just Kilos Mr died a while ago15:09
KilosThatGraemeGuy, hi busy?15:09
ThatGraemeGuyhey, what's up15:13
ThatGraemeGuyhrmmmm15:14
Kilossee N8Wulf_ prob just above please15:14
Kilosneed to reverse that command15:14
ThatGraemeGuyif those are the exact commands, then you couldn't have moved everything into a file called Temp, as you already have a directory called Temp15:14
ThatGraemeGuyyou can't have a file and directory with the same name15:14
N8Wulf_well... the full run down is actually the following. I mounted sdb1 to /dev/files/disk115:15
N8Wulf_then in there I've got a number of folders I wanted to sort out and then move into one communal folder called "new"15:16
N8Wulf_one of my folders is called Comedy15:16
N8Wulf_and then of course series and movies15:17
N8Wulf_I wanted to move these 3 folders into "new" and then only move new to my External HDD15:17
N8Wulf_so stupid, while also as sudo user, typed:15:18
N8Wulf_mv /* new15:18
N8Wulf_voila... Gone is my whole system into a new Raw file called new15:18
ThatGraemeGuyso "new" didn't exist as a directory15:19
N8Wulf_it stopped when it got to the point where documents where gonna start overwriting themselves15:19
N8Wulf_it did yes15:19
ThatGraemeGuythen all that stuff was moved into the directory15:19
N8Wulf_but instead of all moving into new/        it moved into new15:19
ThatGraemeGuymmm15:20
ThatGraemeGuyhold on15:20
N8Wulf_Thank you15:23
ThatGraemeGuyhttp://slexy.org/view/s21tdnJSyO15:29
ThatGraemeGuypretend "fakeroot" in my example is "/" on your system15:29
ThatGraemeGuyas you can see, it doesn't work the way you describe15:29
ThatGraemeGuyeven if i don't create "new" beforehand, i get "mv: target ‘new’ is not a directory"15:31
ThatGraemeGuywhat version of ubuntu are you using?15:31
Kiloshes offline ThatGraemeGuy 15:32
Kilosplaying in / is dangerous15:32
KilosN8Wulf, <ThatGraemeGuy> even if i don't create "new" beforehand, i get "mv: target ‘new’ is not a directory"15:34
Kilos<ThatGraemeGuy> what version of ubuntu are you using?15:34
Kiloshttp://slexy.org/view/s21tdnJSyO15:34
N8Wulf_I,m on server 12.0415:37
KilosN8Wulf_, did you look at the slexy link15:38
N8Wulf_sorry, my 3G DC'd15:38
N8Wulf_didn't see that until now, will check it out quickly15:39
Kilosnp15:39
ThatGraemeGuyN8Wulf_: sorry, i can't make mine do that15:40
ThatGraemeGuyif the dir "new" exists, everything moves into it, if it doesn't exist, i get  "mv: target ‘new’ is not a directory"15:41
ThatGraemeGuyjust tried it on a 12.04 box as root15:41
N8Wulf_brb... 4 yr old kiddie and EyePet on PS3 is bugging me, just have to go see her Pet quickly15:41
ThatGraemeGuyworks exactly like my paste15:41
N8Wulf_I'm back... 15:43
N8Wulf_ok, I think what I'll try and do seeing as I ended up moving my Ubuntu system which will be under / into the folder called /dev/files/drive1/new (according to that post in Slinky), and my system can no longer boot up, it's stuck at the Grub select screen...15:45
Kiloseish15:45
ThatGraemeGuy2 tips15:46
N8Wulf_I will boot quickly with a Live DVD and then try move the contents from above folder structure then back to where it's supposed to be...15:46
ThatGraemeGuyless sudo is good for you :-)15:46
N8Wulf_lol15:46
Kiloshehe15:46
ThatGraemeGuytry a text-based filemanager like midnight commander, it's less prone to that sort of "oops"15:46
ThatGraemeGuybut yeah, at this stage a reinstall might be your only hope15:47
N8Wulf_was busy installing Apps and updating etc, then I went and moved that... (cry... sob.... blush)15:47
ThatGraemeGuywas the target dir ntfs?15:47
N8Wulf_jip, ntfs15:47
N8Wulf_forgot about MC15:47
ThatGraemeGuyyou'll probably need to reinstall then, almost certainly your permissions will be completely wrong even if you do manage to move the stuff back15:48
N8Wulf_makes sense15:48
N8Wulf_damn!15:48
N8Wulf_whole day again15:48
N8Wulf_server setup15:49
ThatGraemeGuywe've all been there :)15:49
N8Wulf_updating... bla bla bla. Lucky it's holidays for me15:49
N8Wulf_I appreciate your assistance once again Guys15:49
ThatGraemeGuyno worries :-)15:50
N8Wulf_Good to know it's still there somewhere, I just need to access it from a working OS like a Live DVD. Viva Linux15:50
N8Wulf_Me Wifey is calling for some Irish Coffee... Coffee anyone?15:51
Kiloslol15:51
ThatGraemeGuyirish coffee mmmmmmmmm15:51
ThatGraemeGuybut you can hold the coffee, thanks :P15:52
Kilosthanks ThatGraemeGuy 15:54
N8Wulf_I got some Mugg & Bean Espresso beans yesterday, gonna ground fresh now...15:55
KilosN8Wulf_, if you boot from dvd you can try move all the downloaded packages to somewhere from /var/cache/apt/archives/16:00
Kilosi use rsync -av /var/cache/apt/archives/ /media/storage/packsp/16:01
Kilosthen after new install reverse the command and apt-get update and you dont need to download everything when upgrading16:02
Kilosmuch faster16:02
Kilosand saves data16:03
Kiloshi Vince-0 16:03
Kiloseven faster if you do it to a second drive in the pc16:04
Kilosim gonna try 3g in the router16:19

inetproThis is so cool! http://instantserver.io20:31
inetproa VPS with Ubuntu 13.04 ready within seconds20:33
zerefhmmm20:51
zerefhmmmm, I'm having trouble setting up my internal DNS server: I follwed: http://mixeduperic.com/ubuntu/seven-easy-steps-to-setting-up-an-interal-dns-server-on-ubuntu.html20:52
zerefmy dns server in on 192.168.0.5. but when I dig it it points to .1 which is the router20:53
zerefrouter is set to be dhcp server. I'm set a static ip for the dns server20:54
zerefs/I'm/I've/20:54
superflydid you refresh your ip address on your computer?20:55
zerefon the server?20:58
superflyno, on your computer20:58
zerefyes20:59
superflyif your computer still has the old settings, then of course it's not going to look at the new ones20:59
superflyzeref: how?20:59
zerefdisconnected from wireless then reconencted21:00
superflya lot of these routers need to be rebooted for their settings to take effect... you did that too?21:01
zerefhmmm, lemme reboot21:01
zerefhmmmm, wireless not coming on21:06
magespawnevening21:08
magespawninetpro nice link21:08
inetpromagespawn: very!21:08
inetproeven if it expires in 30 minutes21:09
zerefhmmmm still pointing to the router.21:09
magespawnyup cool way to get experince too21:09
magespawnspelling is bad lat3 atmnight21:10
magespawnso is typing21:10
inetpro:-)21:10
inetpromagespawn: time to go sleep21:10
magespawneven the price on the add next to it is attractive21:10
magespawns/add/advert21:11
magespawnindeed but a bit hyped on caffeen from anti flu med21:11
zerefinetpro: 21:13
inetprouh?21:13
zerefcan you perhaps give insight into my problem21:14
magespawndhcp will assign internal ip and the dns along with it, the dns that is on the router from the isp i think21:15
inetprozeref: http://www.bind9.net/manuals21:15
magespawnwas waiting on 'man bind' lol21:16
zereftrue magespawn: but settting up an internal DNS21:16
magespawnbut does the computer know that or is taking the dns along with dhcp from the router?21:17
zerefi'm thinking that setting the router as dhcp also sets it as dns21:18
magespawnyes that is what i was trying to say21:20
magespawnwhat will happen if you manually set the dns on your router to the ip address of your server?21:21
* inetpro calls it a day21:22
inetprogood night everyone21:22
magespawnor you have to manually set each machine to check the local server for dns first21:22
magespawngood night inetpro 21:22
inetprozeref: see also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto21:22
inetprobye21:23
zerefmagespawn: The dns server has got a static address.21:23
magespawnyes i meant the other pc they need to have the dns set instead of taking it from the dhcp server/router21:24
zereftried that21:29
magespawnhmmm21:31
magespawnmaybe you have to tell the router which dns to use21:31
zerefbusy reading on that21:32
magespawnif you do that and the config on your server is wrong it dns and hostnames will not resolve21:34
magespawncould be fun21:34
magespawni have to go sleep unfortnately, i will be in, in the morning, let me know how it goes, will help if i can21:37
magespawngood  night all21:37
