| Geek23 | I am having some trouble figuring out how to add a PCI wireless card to my Ubuntu server box. Can anyone help me? | 00:35 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | hey Geek23 :) irc tends to work best if you just ask whatever question's on your mind first :) it saves some back-and-forth and if it's offtopic you'll be redirected anyway :D | 00:36 |
| Geek23 | OK. Thanks. | 00:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | Geek23: once its in the machine start off posting the output of: lspci | 00:37 |
| sarnold | (to a pastebin, please; the pastebinit package can make that very easy :) | 00:37 |
| Geek23 | OK. Let me get the pastebin package | 00:38 |
| Geek23 | What is the apt-get package for pastebin? May I ask? | 00:39 |
| sarnold | Geek23: pastebinit | 00:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | pastebinit | 00:39 |
| Geek23 | INstalling. | 00:39 |
| Geek23 | Thanks | 00:39 |
| Geek23 | Ok. The url is paste.ubuntu.com/6303782 | 00:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | Geek23: what version of ubuntu? | 00:42 |
| Geek23 | Server 12.04 | 00:42 |
| Geek23 | I have figured out that the only thing that the card is disabled. | 00:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | can you also post: lspci -k | 00:43 |
| sarnold | oh nice, I've not seen -k output before, thanks hitsujiTMO :) | 00:43 |
| Geek23 | https://paste.ubuntu.com/6303786/ | 00:44 |
| Geek23 | Very nice. Never seen that. | 00:44 |
| Geek23 | @hitsujiTMO | 00:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | tis a very hand switch ... lsusb -t also adds kernel module for usb devices | 00:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | geek32, seems it might be using the wrong driver | 00:46 |
| Geek23 | Oh. | 00:47 |
| Geek23 | BTW, this is 32-bit server. | 00:47 |
| Geek23 | So how do I change the driver? I am a bit new to the whole driver game. | 00:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | geek32: can you start with: sudo modprobe -r rt2800pci | 00:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | then try: sudo modprobe rt3562sta | 00:50 |
| Geek23 | OK. Done. | 00:50 |
| Geek23 | Here I am getting: | 00:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | not sure if your kernel has the driver built in or not, so that line might fail | 00:50 |
| Geek23 | FATAL: Module rt3562sta not found. | 00:50 |
| Geek23 | I assume that means I need to install the driver. | 00:51 |
| Geek23 | :) | 00:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | Geek23: you'll need to down load the module and build it: http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downloads/01-1_windowsDetail.php?sn=5019 | 00:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | Geek23: i'm testing out the build here on 13.10 to see if it will actually build ... seems a bit old | 00:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | Geek23: build fails on 13.10:( | 00:58 |
| Geek23 | Well, I am on 12.04 so crossing my fingers. | 00:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | Geek23: testing out another driver | 01:00 |
| Geek23 | I am downloading the driver directly from the EdiMax website. | 01:01 |
| Geek23 | Going to test it too. | 01:02 |
| Geek23 | @hitsujiTMO Any luck with the other drivers. Both drivers failed to make on 12.04 | 01:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | Geek23: fraid not ... going to try and check if its built into a later kernel | 01:11 |
| Geek23 | https://launchpad.net/~someitalian123/+archive/rt3562sta?field.series_filter=precise | 01:11 |
| Geek23 | Does that look legit? | 01:12 |
| Geek23 | To you that is? | 01:12 |
| Geek23 | @hitsujiTMO | 01:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | Geek23: seems thats build for a 2.6 kernel | 01:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | Geek23: defo not in a later kernel ... seem you need to be on a 2.6 to get it working | 01:16 |
| Geek23 | OK. So what is the simplest way to install a 2.6 kernel. | 01:17 |
| Geek23 | Another thing I have never had to do. | 01:17 |
| sarnold | that sounds like more trouble than it should be worth. but if you really want to try it, there are lucid packages for the 2.6 kernel here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/linux | 01:19 |
| Geek23 | This is an old machine anyway. :) | 01:19 |
| sarnold | aha :) | 01:19 |
| Geek23 | Why not have a little fun. | 01:20 |

| Intelftw | Hello, does anyone know if registered ecc ram works in unbuffered ecc motherboard? | 15:21 |
| bekks | Intelftw: Yes. No. | 15:31 |
| Intelftw | How's that? :D The ram is "MEMORY IBM 4GB PC3-10600R DDR3 - 1333 MHz ECC 2Rx4 CL9 FRU 49Y1445". Would it work in http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/xeon/c202_c204/x9scl-f.cfm ? | 15:35 |
| bekks | reg ecc doesnt work in unreg boards, and vice versa. | 15:36 |
| Intelftw | I see. Thanks | 15:37 |

| Lownin | I have a drupal installation on a VPS. The drupal "files" directory will outgrow the storage on the VPS. I have a server at home with a lot of storage. It's just a personal website so not looking for enterprise level solutions. What I want to do is map the VPS' files directory to my home server. I actually already have with sshfs, but in order to improve performance and to go easier on my home internet connection | 23:26 |
| Lownin | , I want the VPS to maintain a local cache of a certain size so commonly accessed files are pulled from the VPS' local storage. What's the best way to do this? | 23:26 |
| wagonboi | I have a KVM VPS with 256 mb RAM, and no swap. Should I add swap? How much? Memory usage is around 75% most of the time. | 23:41 |
| ersi | wagonboi: might be good to have some leverage (ie. swap) - but you'll see terrible/horrible performance if it ever starts swapping most likely. | 23:44 |
| wagonboi | ersi, what would be the best thing to do? Upgrade my RAM? | 23:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | wagonboi: if your hitting 75% then it would be a good idea to upgrade the ram. if you hit 100% your system would crash | 23:46 |
| wagonboi | The main culprit is Mysql. I tried replacing my.cnf with my-small.cnf and ended up crashing Mysql. I had to purge and everything. Would adding a .cnf file to /etc/mysql/conf.d/ be safer? | 23:48 |
| wagonboi | Stop Mysql service, add tunedMysql.cnf to conf.d directory, then start Mysql | 23:48 |
| ersi | wagonboi: Used RAM isn't wasted RAM though. | 23:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | wagonboi: simply put, if mysql needs that much ram, then you're better off leaving it have it. | 23:49 |
| wagonboi | it's just a vanilla Wordpress install. No visitors to the site yet, nor any posts. This is ridiculous | 23:49 |
| ersi | wagonboi: But if you consider running more things, or expanding the use of the MySQL daemon - it might be worth expanding the RAM allocation :) | 23:49 |
| ersi | wagonboi: I'd suggest looking into some Wordpress caching plugins. | 23:50 |
| wagonboi | good idea :) | 23:51 |
| jkitchen | or maybe use a static site generator like octopress rather than wordpress | 23:52 |
| ersi | Maybe look into vanish/memcached as well | 23:52 |
| ersi | the WP caching plugins can turn it almost completely to a static site though | 23:53 |
| jkitchen | sure | 23:53 |
| jkitchen | but there's still php under the hood. | 23:53 |
| ersi | I'd also investigate the plugins you have, because 90% of the WP plugins are.. of somewhat lesser quality :) There's some quite good ones, but most are.. sub-standard | 23:53 |
| * jkitchen shudders | 23:53 | |
| ersi | I've seen horrible code practioned in many languages | 23:54 |
| jkitchen | yea | 23:54 |
| wagonboi | No plugins are installed. But I will look into WP caching, and how to config Nginx for it | 23:54 |
| jkitchen | but php itself is pretty awful :) | 23:54 |
| wagonboi | the PHP process is behaving (so far) ;) | 23:54 |
| jkitchen | just make sure to change your admin user's username for wordpress | 23:55 |
| jkitchen | and if possible, maybe even restrict access to admin bits to your IP address | 23:55 |
| ersi | jkitchen: that's completely irrelevant for this discussion though, I'd leave it at "static is faster". Bashing languages is quite useless. | 23:55 |
| wagonboi | What do you mean? From the default "admin"? | 23:55 |
| ersi | In most cases at least. | 23:55 |
| jkitchen | wagonboi: yes. change the username | 23:55 |
| ersi | that might actually be a good idea, indeed | 23:55 |
| jkitchen | it's not just a good idea, it really should be mandatory. | 23:56 |
| wagonboi | Yes, I did that. I thought about changing wp-login.php to something else but people said that it would break logout links, so.. | 23:56 |
| jkitchen | wagonboi: there are ways to do it which don't break anything but they're non-trivial, to be certain | 23:56 |
| jkitchen | but that also is just obfuscation | 23:57 |
| jkitchen | restricting access to the script entirely is a better approach as it can't be bypassed | 23:57 |
| wagonboi | How, with .htaccess? | 23:57 |
| jkitchen | yea, but you mentioned nginx which doesn't have .htaccess | 23:57 |
| jkitchen | or at least it didn't last I knew, things may have changed | 23:58 |
| jkitchen | if it's only you using the site, make it so only you have access. this really applies to any services on a machine | 23:58 |
| wagonboi | http://winginx.com/htaccess I think there is an equivalent of .htacess for Nginx | 23:59 |
| jkitchen | changing ssh port is a good idea, and will stop at least your sshd from being ddosed by brute force attacks (something whchi happened frequently at dreamhost and was really really irritatingly annoying) | 23:59 |
| jkitchen | but it's not real security, anyone targeting you will find that port immediately | 23:59 |
