[04:07] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOMX3deeW6Q [04:07] not the first and certainly not the last :) [04:07] " [04:07] 'Tainted Love' Performed By Disk Drives Will Have You Geek Out" [06:33] hey [06:42] \o [06:42] kernel is still compiling :| [06:42] hey MartijnVdS [06:42] just gets up? [06:42] raspberry pi... [06:42] mapps: yeah [06:42] i just got home:D went on casino and now vodka and sprite [06:42] :D [06:45] ooh! ooh! [06:45] LINK vmlinux [06:45] http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/19c35oidyf35igif/original.gif [07:57] AlanBell: for reference: Raspberry Pi kernel compile on the Pi took about 12 hours (@ 900MHz, "Medium" overclock setting) [08:12] hey [08:13] someone used proxmox before? [09:04] gah, chrome is broken [09:12] directhex: how? [09:18] dunno. i deleted the config folder & fixed itr [09:23] oh you hit the "Couldn't load your profile" bug? [09:23] I get that every few months [09:28] i had that recently [09:28] after my laptop died when out of battery [09:54] good morning boys and girls. [10:35] yo [10:38] morning popey [11:24] aaloha [11:24] so trusty is running nicely [11:24] hEyt [11:24] Someone used proxmox before? :S [11:24] I still have that annoying bug which find it hard to reproduce but does exist. where you shut down your machine and it restarts. most anonying when you#'re on a plane [11:26] Can someone help me about proxmox? [11:32] xalyy: it's kinda quiet in here at the weekend, maybe explain the problem abd someone might see it [11:32] Okay [11:33] Well I made a virutal box for testing out the proxmox and installed the iso then tried to open the https://myip:8006 web interface but it not works [11:43] czajkowski: i never shut my laptop down [11:49] uhm. system settings seems to be missing a date/time thing in trusty [11:49] or am I blind [11:49] I can't see how to change my time (am in the wrong timezone) [11:51] popey: mine is gone too [11:53] AlanBell: bug 1278063 [11:53] bug 1278063 in unity-control-center (Ubuntu) "date and time settings missing" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1278063 [11:53] pls confirm [11:54] do you have unity-control-center-datetime installed? [11:54] oh sorry, got to go [11:55] gooby pls [11:55] Laney: nope, I didn't have that [11:56] will that also fix bug 1074314? [11:56] bug 1074314 in indicator-datetime (Ubuntu) "indicator-datetime configuration panel only works in Unity session" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1074314 [11:57] Laney: I didn't, just figured that out and updated the bug [12:03] lol so the reason it's broken is because they renamed the panel and then forgot to update the gnome .desktop [12:05] or have not yet got round to updating the .desktop [12:06] change was commited two weeks ago [12:06] bug 1277900 also [12:06] xalyy, Have you set up the NAT stuff for your VM? [12:06] Error: Could not gather data from Launchpad for bug #1277900 (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1277900). The error has been logged [12:06] oof [12:06] bug 1277900 also [12:06] silly bot ☻ [12:07] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/indicator-datetime/trunk.14.04/revision/300 [12:07] i take back what i previously said [12:07] it's actually been intentionally broken [12:10] awilkins: What you mean? [12:11] xalyy, When you have a VM, it's isolated from the network unless you specifically set up network ports for other machines to communicate with it [12:11] popey: your other bug is a dupe, at least for datetime [12:11] The default setup on VirtualBox is, AFAIK, NAT [12:11] feel free to mark it as such [12:11] i thougt it might be but couldn't see another [12:11] Which means you have to map ports on the VM to ports on your host machine if you want to communicate with the server inside [12:12] Have a look at the "Advanced" dialog in the network setup [12:12] you'll have to change your shortcut because the panel applet has been renamed in order to prevent it from working with g-c-c, this will also invalidate your shortcut [12:12] or bin and re-create it I guess. [12:12] shame [12:12] just change "indicator-datetime" to "datetime" [12:12] it was sound, but I understand [12:13] and g-c-c to u-c-c [12:13] just removed it and re-dragged it in from the dash [12:14] also why the heck do you have shortcuts to individual settings on the launcher? [12:14] you are not the first to ask this ☻ [12:14] I use the sound applet a lot [12:14] so do i but i just clik the sound indicator [12:14] docking station + bluetooth headphones + linux = annoyance [12:14] Ok im back [12:14] faster to super+9 [12:14] for me [12:14] no. [12:15] my sound menu is huge, so click then go all the way to the bottom to get sound settings [12:15] So [12:15] Im here at the advanced settings [12:15] Do I have to add the 8006 port? [12:15] xalyy: no, I'd just change NAT to Bridged and restart the VM [12:16] clean it out? [12:16] Okay [12:16] still easier to use launcher [12:16] it really needs an easier way to remove every audio player ever [12:16] annoying i have to use it so much [12:16] yeah [12:16] Still not works [12:17] you know what's even easier? having a settings menu on the panel [12:17] i dont use most settings, only sound [12:17] and the other four ones :) [12:17] well, and bluetooth [12:17] I switched to nat [12:17] But still not shows the website [12:18] xalyy: bridged, not nat, and restart the vm [12:18] I mean to bridged [12:18] Sorry mistyped :D [12:18] right, and find out what IP the VM has once booted [12:18] https://192.168.1.101:8006/ [12:18] but not worksss [12:18] point your browser at that http://I.p.address:8006/ [12:18] like before [12:18] :S [12:18] did you restart the vm? [12:20] Why is it not working? :( [12:20] did you restart the vm? [12:20] Yes [12:20] inside the vm, if you 'telnet 192.168.1.101 8006' do you get a response? [12:21] http://gyazo.com/18524a7c76cc6319d8c2fa86cab9837a.png [12:21] This is what i got [12:22] That looks promising [12:23] what is the next step? :D [12:24] http://imgur.com/0qvXxNd [12:24] thats what I do to test [12:28] ok [12:29] I not got what u got but ok :D [12:30] you got a response of some kind? [12:32] i got what i sent [12:33] U saw the pic? [12:46] Anyone? === LjL-BetaMale is now known as LjL-DeltaMale [12:52] xalyy, You got a response - it connected and dropped, rather than timing out [12:53] xalyy, That means there is a server running with that port open, rather than nothing being there [13:01] wow.. cross-compiling a RPi kernel: 5 minutes. Compiling a kernel on the pi: 24 hours (including docs/manual/etc. packages) [13:01] the kernel is very easy to cross compile tho [13:01] ali1234: yes, I know that now :) [13:02] pretty much nothing else is so easy [13:02] because of library dependencies [13:02] installing a cross-compiler is easy, but for most other things you need at least libc [13:04] with multiarch it's not as bad as it was - can get the libs in [13:12] penguin42: even of incompatible archs? [13:12] 192.168.3.249 .GPS. 1 u 34 64 3 0.581 0.203 0.014 [13:12] \o/ [13:13] MartijnVdS: Yes [13:13] MartijnVdS: installing libs normally isn't a problem (as long as their multiarch safe - not everything is) [13:14] MartijnVdS: Sometime need to have qemu installed incase the installation scripts need to run something [13:33] Im back! Connection lost [13:33] awilkins then what can I do to solve the problem [13:34] Yo? [13:35] Is somebody here or everybody sleepig again? :D [13:35] !patience [13:35] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ [13:36] xalyy: we established your server is running [13:36] I searched like 1 day without any luck, thats why I moved to here [13:37] Thanks [13:37] But if the server is running then why the web interface not loads? [13:37] I don't know what I done wrong... I configured the network and this was a fresh install nothing modified [13:38] Same problem with my dedicated not working there too [13:40] xalyy_: you are running proxmox inside a vm? [13:40] Yes [13:41] First I trying to test it on my computer on virtualbox [13:41] Then move it to dedicated [13:41] But it's not even work in my PC [13:41] well I would kind of expect some issues running it nested [13:41] however I would expect the web UI to work [13:42] can you get to the web UI from inside the guest itself? [13:42] How?? [13:42] It don't have Desktop enviroment [13:42] does the guest operating system have a GUI? [13:42] ok, how about lynx or something [13:42] Lynx? [13:43] sudo apt-get install lynx [13:43] Text-mode browser [13:43] Okay [13:43] then lynx localhost:8006 or whever it is [13:43] Okay! I try it ty [13:44] not expecting it to work well, but it should be enough to recognise whether it is working at all [13:45] http://gyazo.com/4d0d231e12c41a44c661f415acd6d203.png :( [13:45] is that from inside the vm or outside? [13:45] oh, inside [13:46] Inside [13:46] ok, so forget about port mapping for a bit, until you get it serving locally [13:47] Try http://localhost:8006 [13:47] its not ssl? [13:47] that isn't right anyway, why is it trying to resolve the IP address? [13:47] Yes... maybe that also counts [13:47] so https://localhost:8006 [13:47] Tried localhost first then 192.168. [13:48] what ip does the vm have? [13:48] note that it will not be the same ip as your host [13:48] Umm local ip? [13:48] ifconfig inside the vm will tell you [13:48] with bridged the vm gets an ip address like any other host [13:48] not the same as your host [13:48] so you may just be using the wrong ip [13:48] How can I scroll up? [13:48] on virtualbox :D [13:49] ifconfig|less [13:49] page up? [13:49] ip addr | grep 192 [13:49] probbaly 192.168.1.102 ☻ [13:50] 127.0.0.1?? [13:50] thats localhost on interface lo [13:50] http://gyazo.com/3c26517b8021025feb075821731aef16.png [13:50] * AlanBell doesn't think there is an active network card in the guest [13:50] what about interface eth0 ? [13:50] directhex: but I want a valve code, my key is I AMDI RECT HEX ;) [13:50] http://gyazo.com/a6259dd025f285d39c2d05ecc82bb6be.png [13:51] these cropped screenshots annoy me ☻ [13:51] Sorry :D [13:51] so no ip on eth0 [13:52] what OS is the guest? [13:53] Proxmox 3.1 VE [13:53] no, in the VM, not on the host [13:54] penguin42: that is running nested in the guest [13:54] ooohhhh - nested is fun [13:54] what host? [13:54] loll [13:54] which is . . . going to hurt, but the web UI should work [13:54] wat [13:54] waittt [13:54] this sounds odd, i dont understand what on earth is going on here [13:54] guys u think i meant that there is a vm under my dedi? [13:55] this is a remote machine with virtualbox instaled on it? [13:55] and proxmox as the guest? [13:55] xalyy_: You need to go back a step; put a webpage together that shows what your setup is - completely so we can understand [13:55] OK wait [13:55] or local desktop with virtualbox with proxmox inside it? [13:55] turtles all the way down [13:56] xalyy_: explain the setup [13:56] the guest isn't getting an IP address, so you think that is set up with a bridged networking card, and your router is capable of assigning an extra DHCP address? [13:58] Sec [13:59] http://i.imgbox.com/DNNIsAtM.png [14:00] Uuuuurgh, host OS is Windows :P [14:01] that diagram doesn't help [14:01] so, where is Ubuntu in all this? [14:02] explain it... [14:02] "i have a blah running blah and in that there's blah running blah" [14:02] * awilkins bobs off to get some food [14:02] Proxmox uses integrated debain what are you guys talking? :D [14:02] Both of the machines running on debian [14:03] so you have a windows host with some debian derivative that isn't Ubuntu as a guest [14:03] and another cloud server that isn't running Ubuntu [14:03] xalyy_: Sorry, you really need to draw it out - what exactly are you running [14:04] I am running windows on the windows I am running a Virtualmachine under Oracle VM, my dedicated is located somewhere in the US my dedicated not belongs to my personal computer, my dedicated runs under debian [14:04] good? :P [14:04] so, why do you think we can help with that? [14:04] Why not? [14:04] but how is your dedicated related to your virtualbox mess? [14:05] I said first Im testing proxmox on the oracle vm then I want to move on my dedicated and fix everything like on my comp [14:05] * SuperEngineer gets ready to type !-t-o-p-i-c :D [14:05] Because the two machine have the same problem [14:05] SuperEngineer: Well to be fair we rarely are on topic in here [14:05] double lol [14:06] SuperEngineer: Indeed being on topic might be off topic [14:06] triple lol [14:07] Now do you understand the setup? :D [14:07] I do. I think. [14:07] xalyy_: Look, you're just learning this stuff - you need to start simpler; and nesting VMs is not a good way to start learning [14:07] But I never use VirtualBox on Windows so can't help with that. [14:07] xalyy_: so, for the virtualbox thing, you need to arrange for the guest to get an IP address, I have no idea if you are being blocked by a windows firewall setup or if the proxmox networking doesn't like the virtualbox card or something else [14:07] he's not nesting VMs penguin42, why do you think he is? [14:07] popey: proxmox is virtualisation software [14:08] right, but he hasn't got that far yet [14:08] What is nesting? [14:08] with a web gui, which should run, even if it doesn't let you start VMs [14:08] exactly [14:08] Yeah [14:08] xalyy_: running VMs within VMs is nesting [14:08] sounds just like the vm doesn't have an ip yet [14:08] ah, so he's just trying to run the management stuff in the windows virtualbox? [14:08] that he can point to [14:08] Ohh [14:08] popey: But where are the VMs? [14:08] they dont exist yet, clearly [14:08] Yess [14:09] given he can't get to the admin console [14:09] I am trying to setup proxmox on the oracle vm [14:09] popey: Ohhhh [14:10] * popey sleeps [14:10] popey: Just looky you weren't pulled into a floridian sinkhole [14:10] so, problem 1, your debian thing in virtualbox needs to be on your local network [14:10] and it isn't right now [14:10] Ok! [14:10] How to fix it belly :D [14:11] sudo dhclient might give you a clue [14:11] Wait first how do I exit under |less [14:11] ifconfig |less [14:11] q [14:12] Thanks [14:12] I think perhaps you are running before walking here [14:12] * penguin42 agrees [14:12] Umm [14:12] dhclient not done anything [14:13] RTNETLINL asnwers: File exists! [14:13] Lol you dont say [14:14] that usually means a route already exists [14:14] Ohh [14:14] doesn't hurt [14:14] Great :D Next command? [14:16] WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW [14:16] GUYS what happened?? [14:16] Its just works now... [14:16] But how is this possible? dhclient done the magic or which command? [14:17] AlanBell's telepathy probably [14:17] :DD [14:17] Seriously I have to know exactly, because I have to fix the dedicated too :P [14:19] xalyy_: If you manually ran dhclient that would do it, but that suggests that you just needed to configure proxmox to run dhclient [14:19] So you mean proxmox is not starting dhclient properly? [14:19] By the way what is dhclient [14:20] xalyy_: dhclient is the thing that sends and receives dhcp requests on the network; [14:21] xalyy_: You need to go and learn some basic networking/linux admin stuff I think before trying to debug this much! [14:22] But I doesn't even know why I have to debug, I mean I watched 5 video tutroials where the guys installs the proxmox on a VM or VPS or Dedicated but they got it working right away after installed [14:22] the dedicated serer has got an IP address, or you wouldn't be connecting to it [14:22] I can connect to the dedicated server without the dedicated connecting to the internet :D [14:23] ok, serial port debugging or is it really virtualised? [14:23] Umm? [14:23] huh, that virtual KVM window . . . [14:23] Yes [14:23] Drac [14:23] your dedi is running under a KVM host? [14:24] Running under Drac [14:24] I heard its a small computer on the dedi [14:24] It has other ip [14:24] Then the dedi [14:24] /o\ [14:24] Is it a bell? :D [14:25] On the dedicated dhclient did not worked still not loads the :8006 website gui I think I have to reinstall everything... [14:25] What you say? [14:25] Do I reiinstall proxmox os completly? [14:26] I have no further opinion on the matter :) [14:26] Ok I reinstall it, I have time :D [14:27] Do you have idea why the VM is so slow? I mean the virtual media session [14:27] It uploading really slow [14:27] Can you copy a virtualbox machine from one computer to another, or do configuration options get messed up when you do [14:28] DJones: yes, and maybe [14:28] but it is fixable [14:28] Problem is [14:28] or you copy the config options too [14:28] Dedicated does not have DHCP so I have to manually config the network files... :S [14:28] So it would be double messy [14:29] Can hostname be anything on the dedicated? [14:29] Or does it counts? [14:29] AlanBell: Thanks, I've got two Windows installs and was planning on copying both folders including all files & subdirectories, its got .vbox & .vdi file, along with a Logs folder [14:31] xalyy_: you really need to ask your host what your network settings should be. we simply can't guess them [14:31] I'm expecting some issues because they're both Windows installs, XP & Win 7 [14:31] DJones: look in .virtualbox too [14:31] .Virtualbox even [14:31] gah ~/.VirtualBox [14:31] AlanBell: Thanks for heads up [14:32] VirtualBox.xml in there is the config settings mostly [14:32] shauno: but is there a way to guess my dedicated hostname from the dedicated ip or something? [14:33] xalyy_: really, you need to ask your ISP about this, you are not running Ubuntu and we are not your ISP :) [14:33] What? [14:33] My dedicated not running ubuntu? [14:33] I can't change my answer just because it's not the one you wanted, I'm afraid [14:33] What are you talking about :D [14:34] I mean debian is not similiar to ubuntu? [14:35] it is not Ubuntu, no [14:41] Thanks for the help guys for all this :D [14:57] Something not good... Cmon.. I can't beleive this, I rebooted the oracle vm and now the web ui not working again [14:57] Typed dhclient several times but not helps [14:57] what is this?! [15:04] hi guys [15:40] hey everyone [15:41] small question : I have a 24 inch imac with a Core2Duo processor [15:41] what version of Ubuntu do i choose : The PC , the 64bit PC or the 64bit MAC version ? [15:42] I'd go with 64bit mac [15:43] BigRedS: ok Thats the one i'm downloading. [15:43] funny that there is no 64bit MAC version of Xubuntu to download [15:43] I'll just punch XFCE on there after install i guess [15:45] I was thinking about putting elementary on there (because it looks realy good) but ... i wasn't sure what version of 12.04 its based on [15:45] the 64 bit or the MAC64 bit [15:45] How can I check the network is working fine to stream the proxmox web gui? On dedicated server === webpigeon_ is now known as webpigeon [16:16] xalyy_ what do you mean? Where is the web gui supposed to be? [16:16] you may have more luck in a more proxmox-focussed channel [16:16] mydedicatedip:8006 [16:16] okay, so is it firewalled off? [16:17] can you connect to that at all? [16:17] you say you want to " check the network is working fine"; what makes you think it isn't? [16:19] Idk [16:19] On my comp it working fine on my oracle vm [16:20] But the dedi's proxmox gui not workig [16:31] xalyy_: can you at least ping it? [16:31] Yes lol [16:31] You meant my Dedis ip? [16:31] so you don't have a network problem [16:32] Yes I can ping my dedi's ip [16:32] from my comp [16:33] ok, but you are getting no response from the web server port? [16:33] can the server connect to itself on that port? [16:33] so lynx localhost:8006 [16:33] Type that command on my dedi? [16:34] yeah, is it serving anything for you to connect to? [16:35] Alert! [16:35] Unexpected network read error [16:37] try lynx localhost:1234 [16:37] just to compare error messages [16:38] Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host. would be the error I would expect [16:39] however you are not running Ubuntu so it might be different (which is why you should be going to an appropriate place for proxmox support) [16:39] Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host. [16:42] ok, so that is the error message when connecting to a port with nothing happening on it [16:42] so the thing you are expecting to be running on 8006 isn't, so you need to go solve that problem [16:43] How? :D [16:45] that depends on what it is that should be running there and what hte OS is [16:47] Its debian [16:47] and there should be running proxmox i said :P [16:52] okay, like I said earlier I think this would be quicker if you find someone who knows proxmox [16:52] but netstat -ntlp | grep 8006 should tell you if anything is bound to that port [16:53] It says listen [16:54] But who and where should I find someone [16:54] not sure; does proxmox have an irc channel? [16:58] wow, this topic still? >_< [17:00] xalyy_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && netstat -tuln | pastebinit [17:00] Whats daT? [17:01] a program to pastebin the output of that command so we can see [17:01] If you have any questions regarding proxmox you might want to ask Lord Drachenblut for advice [17:05] Is he here? [17:11] run what i said [17:36] heya guys [17:41] hi sir [18:20] hey daftykins [18:20] andatche, [18:20] andylockran, [18:20] \o [18:21] sup mate [18:34] not bad here ty, just doing chores and what not today [18:34] tried looking at doing my tax return online, so a seriously exciting sunday! [18:36] why do tax websites assume you know their acronyms O_O [18:36] "ETI" [18:36] ETI? [18:37] popey: Just as a heads up, Bitfolk's minecraft server looks to be down, I'm not in their minecraft channel to highlight you or grifferz there [18:41] well then: https://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2014/02/msg00338.html [18:45] yay? [18:45] shauno: I wonder how Ubuntu is going to handle that.. they started/sponsor upstart [18:46] oh I'm not thinking that far ahead. I'm just hoping it means a ceasation to hostilities. peace to all man and stuff like that [18:46] nah, because "we're going for systemd" was clear [18:47] that was always going to be the outcome of that vote [18:47] what I want to see is the other points: will maintainers be required to accept patches to make software work with other init systems or not? [18:48] DJones: ta [18:50] upstart is dead now. [18:51] directhex: well, it will be in the LTS for another few years [18:51] and it's in ChromeOS, I think? [18:51] the init system that only ubuntu uses. every upstream will be using systemd dependencies (gnome does already, kde does for wayland & will for x.org soon, xfce will soon). canonical can spend money on continuing to duplicate systemd functionality in upstart, or spend less just binning it & using systemd [18:52] directhex: yes, but my point is that it's too late for 14.04 [18:52] or say "we don't care" and be the distro without kde, gnome or xfce [18:52] 14.10, sure [18:52] MartijnVdS, oh, sure, 14.04 will be upstart [18:52] okay, upstart is bleeding out, but still breathing [18:53] I just wished the systemd supporters didn't sound so much like a cult [18:53] "IT'S BETTER BECAUSE IT IS" [18:53] only ubuntu.. and every derivative [18:53] lmao [18:54] which probably (speculating) accounts for more installs of upstart than all total installs of systemd.. probably [18:54] systemd is technically massively better than upstart [18:54] i don't doubt that ☻ [18:54] the only reason people don't like systemd is because of lennart [18:54] ali1234: yes, except nobody seems to be able to explain how [18:54] popey, valve using sysvinit will eclipse both :D [18:54] upstart will live on in 14.04 for years [18:54] otoh the only reason people don't like upstart is because of canonical [18:54] ali1234: also Lennart, ture. [18:54] directhex: how many steamos installs? [18:54] popey, give it a few months... [18:54] really either one of them is perfectly able to do what debian requires [18:55] given how many chrome laptops seem to have been sold, they're doing pretty well [18:55] i tire of the "only ubuntu" comment, given how many servers and clients that amounts to [18:55] if it dies, it dies, so be it [18:55] it amounts to diddly squat compared to windows [18:55] indeed [18:56] if install base was the only important thing, we shouldn't be using linux at all [18:56] don't forget webos! all those pre's! [18:56] jolla is systemd isnt it? [18:57] of course it is [18:57] it's based on meego [18:57] ah yes [18:57] ubuntu doesn't exist in a vacuum. as long as they use components from gnome, kde, xfce, they can either continue to emulate systemd or move to systemd - or, as is the case currently, fix with antique versions of the underlying bits [18:58] well we're not moving to systemd till at least 14.10 [18:58] be surprised if we did even then [18:58] incidentally, xfce will not require systemd any time soon [18:59] quite fancy a steamos box under the telly [18:59] also fancy a better telly [18:59] unlike debian, xfce actually has a significant install base on bsd [19:02] well ok, it's probably smaller than debian's, but as a percentage of total user base it's bigger [19:25] is it just me or is scan's today only page now basically a list of everything they sell? [19:32] ali1234: It's not quite that big for me [20:05] yo === Nafallo_ is now known as Nafallo [20:19] what's the best app for ripping mp3? [20:19] clementine isn't working with audio cd's [20:20] looks like a kde/phonon issue [21:07] AlanBell: we need to organise a release party! [21:08] yes! [21:09] April 17th is the release date [21:10] oof, really? [21:10] !trusty [21:10] Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) will be the 20th release of Ubuntu. See the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295 for more info. support in #ubuntu+1 [21:10] I thought it was 24th [21:10] so it is [21:18] next to good friday [21:18] I'm kinda curous what the upgrade from lucid will be like [21:29] heh i plan to just clean install my servers [21:32] I kinda do both [21:33] I also completely over-use the word 'kinda'. but still [21:33] bitfolk have a fantastic policy where they'll provide you with a second VM for a transition period of .. I think 2 weeks? [21:34] I try not to abuse this (I mean, I'm still on lucid), but usually I'll do this, and then try to migrate the original just to see how much it hurts [21:35] I've generally found that migrating to a new install is more faff than dist-upgrading in-place3 [21:35] though I do tend to make a bit of a mess, easiest to just let the computer deal with noticing what's installed and where [21:37] I like the clean starts. I tend to accumulate cruft [21:39] yeah, I like to keep that cruft :) [21:39] mostly I'll go through stuff pre-upgrade and remove obviously-uneccesary things [21:39] more faff perhaps, but less likely to go wonky? :> [21:39] but otherwise there's just this long period of remembering that thing that I used to have running and what was it that made that work again? [21:40] that's why i take notes like an engineer [21:40] I have a fairly short list of expectations for my VM. narrowing it back down to those every upgrade tends to be quite productive [21:41] daftykins that sounds too much like work [21:43] hahaha [21:45] well, I keep my vps for a narrow task set. so it's nowhere near as painful as it sounds [21:47] shauno: try it? ☻ [21:47] wee cat vid: https://www.dropbox.com/s/27ibqn579402aai/VID_20140209_214132.mp4 [21:48] i have a lucid vps, might skip precise on that and go direct to trusty [21:48] oh I'll try it. but I'll ping andy to brew me a new VM first :) [21:49] my vps is my mail & dns servers. curiousity is always a plan B [21:53] :) [21:54] i continue to be under the impression that ones own email running is a pain [21:54] oh it is [21:55] it totally $(inappropriate metaphor)'s the big one [21:55] but the alternatives are all pretty dire [21:56] i'm happy to live on gmail, if i setup a company and have a domain for it i might just fiddle with 'send as' from that [21:56] although Google Apps for 1 user @ £33/yr would be tempting [21:56] https://github.com/mbebenita/Broadway golly [21:56] well, that's a large part of the problem. gmail is basically the alternative at this point. and I trust them less and less every day [21:57] they are certainly growing in evil it would seem [22:00] that, and for me, it's a useful skillset to keeep warm [22:06] :) [22:06] very true [22:08] we have a lot of legacy devices that still use smtp for transmission (everything from the last 15 years uses https) [22:09] so being able to 'speak' smtp comes in way too useful, far too often [22:35] shauno: the raw command style? :D [22:36] in a lot of cases, yes :( "send me a packet trace" is my default "if I couldn't guess in 5 minutes"
