[00:35] <Geek23> I am having some trouble figuring out how to add a PCI wireless card to my Ubuntu server box.  Can anyone help me?
[00:36] <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
[00:37] <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 :)
[00:38] <Geek23> OK.  Let me get the pastebin package
[00:39] <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
[00:41] <Geek23> Ok.  The url is paste.ubuntu.com/6303782
[00:42] <hitsujiTMO> Geek23: what version of ubuntu?
[00:42] <Geek23> Server 12.04
[00:43] <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 :)
[00:44] <Geek23> https://paste.ubuntu.com/6303786/
[00:44] <Geek23> Very nice.  Never seen that.
[00:44] <Geek23> @hitsujiTMO
[00:46] <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
[00:47] <Geek23> Oh.
[00:47] <Geek23> BTW, this is 32-bit server.
[00:49] <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
[00:50] <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.
[00:51] <Geek23> I assume that means I need to install the driver.
[00:51] <Geek23> :)
[00:54] <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
[00:57] <hitsujiTMO> Geek23: i'm testing out the build here on 13.10 to see if it will actually build ... seems a bit old
[00:58] <hitsujiTMO> Geek23: build fails on 13.10:(
[00:58] <Geek23> Well, I am on 12.04 so crossing my fingers.
[01:00] <hitsujiTMO> Geek23: testing out another driver
[01:01] <Geek23> I am downloading the driver directly from the EdiMax website.
[01:02] <Geek23> Going to test it too.
[01:10] <Geek23> @hitsujiTMO Any luck with the other drivers.  Both drivers failed to make on 12.04
[01:11] <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
[01:12] <Geek23> Does that look legit?
[01:12] <Geek23> To you that is?
[01:12] <Geek23> @hitsujiTMO
[01:14] <hitsujiTMO> Geek23: seems thats build for a 2.6 kernel
[01:16] <hitsujiTMO> Geek23: defo not in a later kernel ... seem you need to be on a 2.6 to get it working
[01:17] <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.
[01:19] <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 :)
[01:20] <Geek23> Why not have a little fun.
[01:31] <Geek23> Thanks for all of the help!
[01:31] <Geek23> Time to go get dinner. :)

[15:21] <Intelftw> Hello, does anyone know if registered ecc ram works in unbuffered ecc motherboard?
[15:31] <bekks> Intelftw: Yes. No.
[15:35] <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 ?
[15:36] <bekks> reg ecc doesnt work in unreg boards, and vice versa.
[15:37] <Intelftw> I see. Thanks

[23:26] <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?
[23:41] <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.
[23:44] <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.
[23:45] <wagonboi> ersi, what would be the best thing to do? Upgrade my RAM?
[23:46] <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
[23:48] <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
[23:49] <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 :)
[23:50] <ersi> wagonboi: I'd suggest looking into some Wordpress caching plugins.
[23:51] <wagonboi> good idea :)
[23:52] <jkitchen> or maybe use a static site generator like octopress rather than wordpress
[23:52] <ersi> Maybe look into vanish/memcached as well
[23:53] <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
[23:54] <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) ;)
[23:55] <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
[23:56] <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
[23:57] <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
[23:58] <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
[23:59] <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
