shaunono you don't.  they're pushing the web UI harder and harder.17:43
neuroi never use it17:43
neuroi just use vsphere client17:43
shaunothat's the problem17:43
xalyyOk lets hope it works ty17:43

shauno(and kittens)17:44
neuroall my VMs are on an iscsi datastore, but they still occasionally screw up because something in exsi goes bad due to an hdd timeout17:44
shaunoneuro: last I heard they're trying to push the web client over the 'real' client, and hoping to the deities that the web client catches up in time17:44
neuromakes sense17:45
neuroi really only keep my vostro with win7 pro around because of vsphere17:45
shaunoit does and it doesn't.  it would, if the web client wasnt' pants17:45

neuroyeah, it's for our internal stuff that predates me by a long chalk18:04
shaunoI've apparently turned into a minor deity for a few of our internal teams, which has turned out useful for such issues.  I no longer care if it predates me, or if it violates various policies; people will stand behind me18:06
neuro:)18:06
shaunoit started off when I kinda became "the other knowledgebase", which was messy18:08
shaunoand then I managed to bring on a US acronym as a customer that beat our next 2 years targets in one day, and now I have managers that adore me too18:08
shaunoit's turned into a really, really weird situation tbh18:09
mappswhy on earth cant i run sudo under my normal user ac18:10
mappsjust says try again wrong pass rubbish18:11
shaunobut the plus side is that I can get away with almost anything that doesn't break german privacy laws18:11
neuromapps: you're not a member of the admin group?18:11

mappsyea there's no admin group BUT user mark is a member of the group sudo and group sudo has ALL in /etc/sudoers18:11

neuroyou should go on holiday for a month and see what happens ;)18:14

mappsyea i had done18:16
shaunoneuro: I'll toot my own horn.  I convinced nasa we're a good idea.  our previous largest customer was a 'big box' retail chain.  turns out nasa have a *lot* more computers18:17
mappssee when i go to users and groups it says nxt to user mark ' locked 4 7 failed logins - but er i can still login with it and ssh and everything? but then i cant change any settings as i dont have permissions and seemingly sudo isnt working fpor me atm18:17
mappsthe sudoers file says anyone in group sudo has perms18:19

MartijnVdSmapps: sure, but is %sudo in sudoers?18:26
MartijnVdSshauno: ah good one, it might have lost its s-bits?18:26
shaunowell on mine, sudo is root:wheel, so the sudo group doesn't mean expletive18:27
shaunonow that's not ubuntu, but it should extrapolate18:27
