[00:35] I am having some trouble figuring out how to add a PCI wireless card to my Ubuntu server box. Can anyone help me? [00:36] 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 [00:37] OK. Thanks. [00:37] Geek23: once its in the machine start off posting the output of: lspci [00:37] (to a pastebin, please; the pastebinit package can make that very easy :) [00:38] OK. Let me get the pastebin package [00:39] What is the apt-get package for pastebin? May I ask? [00:39] Geek23: pastebinit [00:39] pastebinit [00:39] INstalling. [00:39] Thanks [00:41] Ok. The url is paste.ubuntu.com/6303782 [00:42] Geek23: what version of ubuntu? [00:42] Server 12.04 [00:43] I have figured out that the only thing that the card is disabled. [00:43] can you also post: lspci -k [00:43] oh nice, I've not seen -k output before, thanks hitsujiTMO :) [00:44] https://paste.ubuntu.com/6303786/ [00:44] Very nice. Never seen that. [00:44] @hitsujiTMO [00:46] tis a very hand switch ... lsusb -t also adds kernel module for usb devices [00:46] geek32, seems it might be using the wrong driver [00:47] Oh. [00:47] BTW, this is 32-bit server. [00:49] So how do I change the driver? I am a bit new to the whole driver game. [00:49] geek32: can you start with: sudo modprobe -r rt2800pci [00:50] then try: sudo modprobe rt3562sta [00:50] OK. Done. [00:50] Here I am getting: [00:50] not sure if your kernel has the driver built in or not, so that line might fail [00:50] FATAL: Module rt3562sta not found. [00:51] I assume that means I need to install the driver. [00:51] :) [00:54] 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 [00:57] Geek23: i'm testing out the build here on 13.10 to see if it will actually build ... seems a bit old [00:58] Geek23: build fails on 13.10:( [00:58] Well, I am on 12.04 so crossing my fingers. [01:00] Geek23: testing out another driver [01:01] I am downloading the driver directly from the EdiMax website. [01:02] Going to test it too. [01:10] @hitsujiTMO Any luck with the other drivers. Both drivers failed to make on 12.04 [01:11] Geek23: fraid not ... going to try and check if its built into a later kernel [01:11] https://launchpad.net/~someitalian123/+archive/rt3562sta?field.series_filter=precise [01:12] Does that look legit? [01:12] To you that is? [01:12] @hitsujiTMO [01:14] Geek23: seems thats build for a 2.6 kernel [01:16] Geek23: defo not in a later kernel ... seem you need to be on a 2.6 to get it working [01:17] OK. So what is the simplest way to install a 2.6 kernel. [01:17] Another thing I have never had to do. [01:19] 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] This is an old machine anyway. :) [01:19] aha :) [01:20] Why not have a little fun. === peter is now known as Guest94420 [01:31] Thanks for all of the help!

[15:31] Intelftw: Yes. No. [15:35] How's that? :D The ram is "MEMORY IBM 4GB PC3-10600R DDR3 - 1333 MHz ECC 2Rx4 CL9 FRU 49Y1445".

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] , 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? [23:41] 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. [23:44] wagonboi: might be good to have some leverage (ie. swap) - but you'll see terrible/horrible performance if it ever starts swapping most likely. [23:45] ersi, what would be the best thing to do? Upgrade my RAM? [23:46] wagonboi: if your hitting 75% then it would be a good idea to upgrade the ram. if you hit 100% your system would crash [23:48] 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] Stop Mysql service, add tunedMysql.cnf to conf.d directory, then start Mysql [23:49] wagonboi: Used RAM isn't wasted RAM though. [23:49] wagonboi: simply put, if mysql needs that much ram, then you're better off leaving it have it. [23:49] it's just a vanilla Wordpress install. No visitors to the site yet, nor any posts. This is ridiculous [23:49] wagonboi: But if you consider running more things, or expanding the use of the MySQL daemon - it might be worth expanding the RAM allocation :) [23:50] wagonboi: I'd suggest looking into some Wordpress caching plugins. [23:51] good idea :) [23:52] or maybe use a static site generator like octopress rather than wordpress [23:52] Maybe look into vanish/memcached as well [23:53] the WP caching plugins can turn it almost completely to a static site though [23:53] sure [23:53] but there's still php under the hood. [23:53] 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 [23:54] I've seen horrible code practioned in many languages [23:54] yea [23:54] No plugins are installed. But I will look into WP caching, and how to config Nginx for it [23:54] but php itself is pretty awful :) [23:54] the PHP process is behaving (so far) ;) [23:55] just make sure to change your admin user's username for wordpress [23:55] and if possible, maybe even restrict access to admin bits to your IP address [23:55] jkitchen: that's completely irrelevant for this discussion though, I'd leave it at "static is faster". Bashing languages is quite useless. [23:55] What do you mean? From the default "admin"? [23:55] In most cases at least. [23:55] wagonboi: yes. change the username [23:55] that might actually be a good idea, indeed [23:56] it's not just a good idea, it really should be mandatory. [23:56] 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] wagonboi: there are ways to do it which don't break anything but they're non-trivial, to be certain [23:57] but that also is just obfuscation [23:57] restricting access to the script entirely is a better approach as it can't be bypassed [23:57] How, with .htaccess? [23:57] yea, but you mentioned nginx which doesn't have .htaccess [23:58] or at least it didn't last I knew, things may have changed [23:58] if it's only you using the site, make it so only you have access. this really applies to any services on a machine [23:59] http://winginx.com/htaccess I think there is an equivalent of .htacess for Nginx [23:59] 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] but it's not real security, anyone targeting you will find that port immediately
