[10:05] ping? [10:06] do you have console access to it? [10:06] Humm === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [10:06] I've just managed to ssh into it from another one of our cloud servers [10:07] Now trying to ssh out of the server [10:07] Yeah, can't ssh out [10:08] So the local network is working [10:08] Looking at /sbin/ifconfig, the public ip address is up on eth0 [10:09] Is it ifup and ifdown to tinker with an interface? [10:10] what flavour? centos? [10:11] ubuntu? [10:11] service network restart if you have ilom access. [10:13] MooDoo: Debian something [10:13] I've down ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 - still not accessable externally [10:14] About to reboot and then get on to Rackspace support [10:14] Apparently this has happened before [10:20] morning boys and girls.

[10:23] lol [10:26] Rebooting the cloud server has fixed it [10:26] This happening once might be dismissed. But twice in 3 days isn't good [10:27] MooDoo & MartijnVdS: I promised SuperMatt that I wouldn't talk to him about RS ;) [10:27] Oh, in case this is of interest to anybody who has missed our so far...

[11:26] davmor2: I've got two speeds slow and stop [11:27] Does anybody have a very simple script to check a website is accessible and email when it isn't? [11:27] I use Nagios to monitor ours, but probably had something in the past [11:28] Could use a simple bash to telnet to 80 and mail on fail ? or wget or something along those lines [11:28] diplo: that's what I was thinking. I don't have time to set up full monitoring. Just need something simple :) [11:29] http://www.howtoforge.com/simple-bash-script-to-monitor-your-webserver-remotely-on-different-ports for example [11:30] Pretty much what I was thinking in my head, albeit not so complex [11:30] :P [11:31] It does look a tiny bit ott [11:31] Don't RS offer some sort of monitoring ? Sure bitfolk had some nagios stuff [11:31] At a cost, sure [11:31] Well you could remove half the code and just have http [11:31] Yep [11:32] I think I got fedup maintaining different scripts and installed nagios from repos and had a basic setup 20 mins later [11:32] And it's advanced since then [11:38] bigcalm: you could use selenium simple test and python and cron I gues [11:38] s [11:42] Test in place, back to work I go [11:57] Hmmh, searching on google for a information about medical relapses brings up "Where to buy viagra in Kenya"....

[16:21] need a sanity check [16:27] yea i had the same too, had to add a line in to fix it [16:28] GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT="5" [16:28] was what fixed it for me [16:28] can't recall that in the docs [16:28] sec [16:33] yea its not mentioned someone here gave me a url with it [16:33] sec [16:34] http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html [16:34] yeah, it's not there [16:34] http://askubuntu.com/questions/55551/how-can-i-force-ubuntu-to-boot-on-a-stuck-boot-menu [16:34] GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=$GRUB_TIMEOUT [16:34] The fact that such option is completely undocumented is just too bad.

There's no way I could see how I would squeeze it in this year otherwise [16:40] curse? [16:40] cruise? [16:40] The latter :) [16:40] Going on a 2 week curse [16:40] some people do curse holidays so you never know [16:40] sounds like UDS :D [16:40] Hehe [16:40] * czajkowski is meant to be going on a cruise [16:40] need to A_ find the time B) narrow down location [16:40] A week in the Norwegian Fjords [16:41] B) The sea. [16:41] my mum did that [16:41] she loves norway [16:41] her friend got very very very ill though [16:41] :( [16:41] and came away with a 3K bill [16:41] Ouch [16:41] :o [16:41] indeed [16:41] not covered by insurance when at sea [16:41] ohhh not good [16:41] if it's from another country then just don't pay? [16:41] debt is a civil matter [16:41] We've gone for a completely pre-paid package, including drinks. Really hope there are no further expenses [16:45] yeah, this was pre-paid too [16:46] Hornet: they demanded the money on the boat [16:46] Ah, so the ill wasn't drunk ill. It was a medical matter that cost 3K [16:46] yes [16:46] 3K maybe over the top, might have been less than that [16:46] cant remember [16:46] Even so [16:53] was it a cruise? [16:53] floating disease ships [16:53] ah, read the scrollback [17:05] popey: and they had 3k cash on them?!

[20:24] maps|wrk: alternatively http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/03/19/full_disclosure_closes/ [20:27] just read - what was it? a list - how do you use lists? i come across them for various google searches linux related. [20:27] but like how would you stay on top of it? or do you just have to know to check the list [20:30] it's an email mailing list - you subscribe to the list and it emails you whenever anyone emails the list address [20:31] whatever is sent to the mailing list email address is copied to each subscriber [20:32] they always seemed like a good way to get very frustrated, to me XD [20:32] ah but if you subscribed to a busy list wouldnt u get loads of emails? [20:33] bingo [20:33] heh [20:33] most mailing list software can allow the subscriber to choose between email-for-email or daily-digest [20:33] or turn off delivery altogether [20:35] for further reading try ezmlm, mailman or majordomo - three different opensource mailing list manager software [20:55] il have a look later, i hate it when i start getting too many emails..boring daily emails from zdnet/cnet etc [20:55] then all the spam too ugh [21:11] Good morning peeps :) [21:12] morning!? [21:13] I like it as my default greeting :) [21:13] morning [21:15] Are you sure? [21:25] hello bigcalm [21:25] have you ever played openspades?

[21:30] popey: okay, do you have a server running? [21:30] * bigcalm looks at playing locally 1st [21:30] ooh [21:30] the ubuntu uk site mentions happy hour and how it was meant to be a monthly thing , what happened to that? ;/ [21:31] people stopped organising them [21:31] bigcalm: i will jump on a low-user server for now... [21:31] happy hour? [21:31] whassat? [21:31] bigcalm: mcp-uk aos server #2 [21:31] has 0 users [21:31] * bigcalm searches [21:31] diddledan: http://ubuntu-uk.org/happy-hour/ [21:32] aah. shame it stopped [21:37] can you join the AA if you don't have a car? [21:40] why would you want to [21:41] because they have a policy that covers you as a passenger in any vehicle [21:42] bigcalm: you still in the game? [21:44] popey: yes [21:44] i got disconnected [21:44] Arse [21:44] bigcalm: join MCP-UK AoS server #1 hallway 24/7 [21:44] its fun [21:44] I was stuck in the river, making my way to you [21:44] Okay === try is now known as Guest71070 [21:49] bah, i suck at that game ☻ [21:53] omg, chromecast is available in blighty! http://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/chrome/devices/chromecast/index.html [21:56] popey: that was fun indeed [22:00] i noticed the other day my Nexus 4's YouTube app has a 'pair with your TV' option that lets you remotely play things onto it :O [22:00] (smart TV with a YouTube app built-in/installable) [22:03] * bigcalm forces himself to listen to his boss' podcast and tries not to fall asleep [22:03] daftykins: yeah, i paired my devices and laptop with my xbox 360 [22:03] not got a "smart" tv [22:04] :) [22:04] my 360 is quite loud at idle in my setup :( [22:04] that thing can't powergate either so it's running 100% all the time [22:07] Playing podcasts faster in vlc sounds weird [22:07] What do peeps uses to listen to podcasts at faster than normal rate? [22:09] Might get used to it actually. Voices sound normal, just quicker [22:12] i used to listen on my iphone quite a bit [22:12] at 2x speed [22:14] bigcalm: why do you want to listen quicker than normal? super slow speaker or something?! [22:15] maps|wrk: content I'm not really that interested in but feel I should listen to [22:26] maps|wrk: consumes half the time of course [22:28] what podcasts do you all follow?
