Are you having problems with it booting? [07:03] ya whats happening [07:05] I got nothing here - DL'd iso - burnt - now I cannot install no matter what I try [07:07] any thoughts? [07:07] morning peeps [07:08] MangledBlue: does the disk read in another os? when you boot the machine with the disk in the drive does it start to read it, have you set the system to boot from cdfirst? [07:08] need a bit more information here :) [07:09] I have - I guess I get my WIN 7 DVD but it has worked in the past - should I try? [07:09] never been a problem in the past [07:10] ok so you've used that disk before....ok yes try your win 7 dvd see if the problem is with the drive. [07:12] right then - gonna B a sec before I come back - wait for me? - lol [07:12] We're here all day :d [07:13] and let me just say - THANK YOU - your the 1st person in 7 "chats" that has assisted - I really do Thank You :-) [07:13] Hope we can get you sorted :D [07:13] same mate - same [07:14] brb [07:22] right then - [07:23] win 7 cd works - hummm - your Moo! - some people on other pages said !Moo and Moo! -- lol [07:23] still there [07:23] ? [07:24] lol yeah still here, so maybe not the drive, dirty ubuntu cd? does it read ok from what ever desktop os you're using now? [07:25] it seems to show DIR - I have no reason to think anything wrong of it - was/is new dvd [07:25] shinky like mirror [07:25] shiny - lol [07:26] MD5 is ok [07:26] yeah that's fine, but can you read the contents of the cd physically? [07:27] 379 files - 58 folders [07:28] it puls up a DIR [07:28] Read Only [07:28] great that sounds ok then, ok next step, booting the machine with the cd, what happens then, does it load the purple boot screen? or just makes funny noises when it's trying to read the cd? [07:28] 731 MB [07:29] - lol - it does not load anything - WIN7 DVD asks to boot to cd/dvd - this thing does nothing - then win 7 boots [07:29] completely skips the norm [07:30] ok so what about the boot order of the machine, have you got cd before hdd? [07:30] I think - CD - USB - External - HDD - 2nd HDD - something of that order - set in BIOS [07:31] should be ok, so with the win 7 dvd does that boot from the cd, just trying to think if it's disk or drive. [07:31] I did have 2nd HDD set before HDD but I have my daughters HDD in 2nd - does not like that since it has her WIN7 on it [07:32] I'm think'n disc b/c win7 disc boot'd [07:32] fone [07:32] fine [07:33] yeah sounds like it then, do you have spare cd's that you could burn, or alternatively try the disk in a friends machine after sweet talking them :) [07:34] Ya know - did not even think of that - DUH - I have 3 computers - LOL - 2 I use and a MINER on 1 - sorry Crytocurrency guys here - 1 sec - trying the next lappy - duh - lol [07:35] lol [07:41] yea - has to be the disc - not work in the other lappy also [07:41] guess I have to re-burn [07:41] huzzah! o/ [07:41] ish lol [07:42] so - I'll do that and see - so thank you for the assist - be back soon [07:42] well - I'll still be here but..... burning [07:43] :) [07:46] burning now - left the 2nd lappy ready to get cd/dvd - boot menu - won't be long now..... [07:47] you would think that with proper MD5 I would be ok - but - maybe I have a coruppted DL? [07:48] check the md5 on the download with the one published wherever they publish it [07:49] yep - I have a win7 property's thing that check the MD5 and SHA - etc - then looked at the PUB site for correct MD5 - - Oh 1 sec - burn done [07:49] trying in 2nd lappy 1st [07:50] OH SHIT [07:50] It's working [07:50] 1 sec [07:50] UBUNTU [07:50] lol [07:50] right on man [07:50] crazy sounding disc [07:51] almost like some scratch - wigky wigky [07:51] lol [07:51] see what happens [07:52] it's coming up [07:52] so - can I install on one HDD and then go back and forth between HDD1 and HDD2 as I wish?

[08:07] morning [08:07] \o [08:08] morning SuperMatt MartijnVdS [08:08] * MartijnVdS needs to figure out a way to tell the Ubuntu installer it's OK to install with partial locale support through debconf [08:09] but there doesn't seem to be an override :( [08:09] that would automate my VM installs to 100%, instead of 99% + ENTER [08:17] MartijnVdS: why do you need to install partial locale? [08:20] diddledan: the installer isn't translated to nl_NL, but I want the installed system to be nl_NL (which works fine) [08:21] oh [08:21] though it can be confusing, seeing Dutch messages from apt and dpkg ;) [08:26] first day on the phones today [08:26] wish me luck [08:31] Happy Chilli Day :-) [08:36] SuperMatt: you don't need luck, you'll be fine. [08:57] morning boys and girls. [09:07] morning brobostigon [09:08] Good morning all; happy Polar Bear Day! :-D [09:09] JamesTait: I prefer my bears Cartesian [09:09] Ba-dum, tsch!

[10:26] you're fine [10:27] also need to read up on hiding my ip [10:27] you only get an ubuntu cloak if you're an ubuntu member, so what you have now is ok [10:27] most people take off their cloaks when they're in a room anyway. And aren't they a bit old-fashioned? ;) [10:27] you can ask the freenode staff for an unaffiliated cloak if you want to hide your stuff [10:27] lol [10:28] I did ask - but was not sure if... well - am I cloaked now? - it's all new to me - damn 43 and still learning - lol [10:28] quit the channel then log back in a sec so I can see what it's currntly set to [10:28] was useing DOS way before windows but I missed a LOt over then years [10:29] lol I started with dos 3.1 ;) [10:29] so log out and come back it? or just quit the channel?

[11:18] or rather why does rhel do this? [11:20] I think it's more, why did debian change to apache ;) [11:20] because thats what it is called [11:27] There's more than one httpd in this world [11:29] from what I can tell, in the apache svn system, it is called httpd, rhel never changed it, I'm guessing that debian originally changed it to read what it actually is and called it apache === aaronr_ is now known as aaronr [12:19] ali1234: it seems it is called many things http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DistrosDefaultLayout [12:20] interesting [12:20] ahd hello davmor2 [12:21] MooDoo: Morning dude [12:21] Morning all too [12:22] wow bug 861171 got fixed [12:22] bug 861171 in OEM Priority Project precise "Shutdown from greeter does nothing when multiple accounts open" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/861171 [12:29] I see popey has been at the Topic again | Cats are Uber Awesome is the sentiment I think he was trying convey though [12:37] davmor2: CATS: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/03/Aybabtu.png === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch [13:03] only a cat would write that === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g === Hornet- is now known as Hornet [15:25] hello SuperMatt how'd your time on the phones go? === alan_g is now known as alan_g|tea === alan_g|tea is now known as alan_g [16:47] SuperMatt: Thank Tom Bruns of "International Linux Support" for fixing our SSL cert location oddity :) [16:47] Or I could update the ticket myself to say thanks [16:49] hmm, looking at wordpress themes today to get something decent for my own website [16:49] seems not to be an easy task === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD [18:05] er lol [18:05] yesterday i was messing about with my machine ..connected from work messing with scripts and iptables [18:05] ..locked myself out:D [18:05] hehe [18:11] \o/ [18:13] schoolboy error eh [18:13] iu was messing about blocking countries [18:13] and ya blocked everything lol [18:31] mapps: muahaha block the world!

[20:43] Hello [20:44] \o mapster [20:47] whats up MartijnVdS [20:53] * MartijnVdS is playing with VMs [20:53] .. again [20:53] anything fun? [20:55] diddledan: I can click in virt-manager, and have a VM installed with only one or two keypresses (both "enter") [20:55] diddledan: and it'll be registered with my chef server automagically [20:55] yey [20:55] I've not played with chef [20:55] diddledan: so I can then drag and drop "roles" onto it, and it'll auto-configure/install a lot of packages :) [20:56] nice [20:56] it feels so 21st century :) [20:56] hm heard of chef but dunno what it is [20:56] drag+drop?! [20:56] what are your vms running [20:56] diddledan: Chef has a web interface :) [20:56] maps|wrk: Trusty and Precise [21:26] I still have to figure esxi out :/ I don't even want to look at VMs anymore [21:37] the annoying thing with both xenserver and vmware esxi is that they require windows management tools [21:41] right, that's what I need to avoid [21:41] * MartijnVdS uses kvm + libvirt-bin [21:41] yeah libvirt is pretty good these days [21:41] my biggest hold-back is that I'm using premade VMs, and every attempt at converting them has been big pain [21:42] running windows? [21:43] nah the contents are all redhat variants [21:43] for some reason microsoft refuse to consider hardware change as a legitimate activity [21:43] they should be easy to change then [21:44] qemu-img [21:45] the chances are kvm will read them as is though [21:49] it's not converting the disks that's the issue [21:50] whats ms got to do with the vms and hardware change?? [21:50] maps|wrk: windows throws a hissy when you change the hardware. switching virualisation tech is akin to changing the hardware [21:51] it's just an incredibly frustrating toolchain. from the outside it looks like a complete mess of tools that are held together by happenstance - if at all [21:52] I've still never managed to get bridged networking working, etc. most the documentation is a pretty cruel joke [21:53] bridged networking? what virtualisation can't do bridged networking?! [21:54] well, trying to create a lan that's available to the clients [21:55] so I have outside->vm->virtual lan->more vms [21:56] hi folks is meetup.com down for you? [21:56] i have seen it down all day [21:56] which I can do on my mac just fine. but I can't run a lab on that. and trying to replicate it with the linux bridge tools is basically self-harm [21:56] gebbione: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/meetup.com [21:57] also https://twitter.com/Meetup [21:58] diddledan, i use that site too, but maybe that site is not so redundant to spot the problem, i was just wandering if anyone else had seen it down throughout the day. I have seen it down since 14:00 [21:58] DDoS [21:58] nice [21:59] first post on twatface was 6 hours ago [22:00] I'd like to know how you differentiate a ddos from the slashdot effect [22:01] i received a meetup message at 14:43, 10 min later max it was down for me [22:31] ]never even heard of meetup before [22:55] hey all
