[00:52] <dogmatic69> anyone got some ideas for a cheap, reasonably quick linux based thing I can use for a dev web server
[00:53] <dogmatic69> Looking to replace my blade as its loud and eats electricity like its the 1950's

[08:01] <MooDoo> morning all
[08:08] <davmor2> MooDoo: How do
[08:46] <MooDoo> davmor2: how are you?
[08:47] <bashrc> morning
[08:48] <bashrc> I read that Jono Bacon is leaving Canonical
[08:52] <DJones> This is true
[09:00] <MooDoo> bashrc: yes indeed, moving to xprize
[09:04] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:12] <MooDoo> hello brobostigon how goes the way?
[09:12] <MooDoo> war?
[09:13] <brobostigon> the war is fail.
[09:26] <cocoa117> when you using ProxyCommand to jump through hoops, you have to have authendication to those hoops machine on your local machine (public key wise), otherwise you can't get on to next one. Is there anyway to allow the machine connect to it authendicate this rather then the local machine initialised the connection?

[11:19] <MooDoo> hello bigcalm
[13:49] <trilitheus> Hi there - when loggin into Ubuntu Server, if it needs a reboot it tells you  - does anyone know if this is queryable?  Flag set in a file somewhere?
[13:52] <diplo> http://serverfault.com/questions/92932/how-does-ubuntu-keep-track-of-the-system-restart-required-flag-in-motd
[13:52] <diplo> Check for the presence of /var/run/reboot-required
[13:52] <diplo> Hmm that's 09 actually
[13:52] <diplo> so maybe old
[14:14] <trilitheus> diplo - awesome many thanks
[14:16] <trilitheus> diplo, still valid on 12.04 at least
[14:21] <diplo> Glad to hear it, Sure I looked at many moons ago
[14:21] <diplo> And that was probably 12.04
[16:45] <diddledan> SOLAR FREAKIN' ROADWAYS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlTA3rnpgzU
[16:50] <diddledan> then of course there's this: http://popwatch.ew.com/2014/05/22/morgan-freeman-on-helium/
[20:01] <mapps> HEY all
[20:11] <diddledan> mornin mapps
[20:12] <diddledan> I really should listen to my answerphone - got 7 messages that I haven't listened to yet
[20:35] <mapps> hey diddledan :)
[20:51] <daftykins> diddledan: i'm sure they're nothing major ;)
[20:54] <mapps> just started watching motive

[22:06] <daftykins> clawed through a thin shirt D:
[22:35] <dogmatic69> is it easy/possible to run vista/win7 etc virtualized on a ubuntu server (headerless)
[22:38] <daftykins> ooh-err
[22:38] <daftykins> that's an edge-case and a half
[22:38] <dogmatic69> :/
[22:38] <dogmatic69> daftykins: what would be the best way to run virtualised windows on ubuntu?
[22:39] <daftykins> with your headless caveat?
[22:39] <dogmatic69> I guess it does not have to be headerless
[22:40] <daftykins> hang on, when you said headerless that sounds like 'without kernel headers installed' ? :)
[22:40] <dogmatic69> without a screen in my eyes :D
[22:40] <dogmatic69> headless...maybe
[22:42] <daftykins> i don't really understand X stuff enough to know if virtualbox would let you fire something up without somewhere to direct an image to
[22:42] <daftykins> assuming you can even create a VM and start it under vbox on the command line
[22:42] <dogmatic69> so generally its a case of running virtualbox?
[22:42] <shauno> vbox should, that's what Vagrant uses
[22:43] <dogmatic69> ye. vagrant uses vbox
[22:43] <daftykins> ah, not familiar with that
[22:43] <dogmatic69> I would like said windows 'box' to be as if it was just on the network IRL
[22:44] <daftykins> i guess there's nothing to stop you setting one up on a box with a head, then throwing it over to the one without?
[22:44] <dogmatic69> so I could from my pc use remmana to access it on the server doing the virtualising stuff if you know what I mean
[22:44] <daftykins> once it's up and has any necessary RDP access, it should start up happily
[22:45] <dogmatic69> ubuntu server vs desktop, is it just the GUI difference?
[22:46] <daftykins> nowadays it is yep
[22:46] <daftykins> same kernel, afaik
[22:46] <dogmatic69> ok, I could use desktop then.
[22:46] <dogmatic69> planning to get a new mini-itx based rackmount job
[22:47] <daftykins> 0o
[22:47] <dogmatic69> 32Gb ram, i3/i5, ssd for boot and 4 3TB
[22:47] <dogmatic69> something like that
[22:48] <dogmatic69> daftykins: ?
[22:48] <daftykins> sorry just raising an eyebrow
[22:49] <daftykins> what's it gonna do? :)
[22:49] <shauno> the virtualbox package provides /usr/bin/VBoxHeadless and VBoxManage .. it looks like they'll be where you should be looking
[22:49] <daftykins> and the reason for Windows? :D
[22:49] <dogmatic69> well work has lame domain server for remote desktop which I cant make work
[22:49] <dogmatic69> so need windows to remote into work
[22:51] <dogmatic69> daftykins: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3PwU2
[22:52] <daftykins> would you not be putting your workplace at risk by hosting such a box out there in the wild? :)
[22:52] <dogmatic69> in the wild?
[22:53] <dogmatic69> this is at home
[22:53] <dogmatic69> so I can access work
[22:54] <daftykins> ah
[22:55] <daftykins> thought you meant rackmount for in a data centre
[22:55] <dogmatic69> daftykins: I was looking at this chassis http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111277489673?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649
[22:55] <dogmatic69> nope, got a 24U case in my garage :)
[22:55] <dogmatic69> got a HP Dl360 + DL380, but too noisy, hence the mini-itx
[22:55] <shauno> ah, garage makes more sense.  I was about to choke at 1U @ home
[22:56] <dogmatic69> shauno: I do web-dev from home, hence the servers.
[22:57] <dogmatic69> got a NAS for storage etc. New pc should replace it all
[22:57] <shauno> do they have to be server-shaped though?
[22:57] <dogmatic69> well its out the way like that
[22:57] <daftykins> cor
[22:58] <daftykins> what do you run that kind of gear at home for? :)
[22:58] <shauno> 1U get hellish noisy just because they demand "angry midget" fans.  almost any other form-factor will be much quieter for the same load
[22:58] <daftykins> i just made up a standard kind of PC in a big coolermaster stacker case
[22:58] <daftykins> and suck less power, i had a P4 era Xeon that was getting given away by the local power company
[22:58] <dogmatic69> daftykins: well like I said I do webdev. I got it set up with bind routing all *.dev domains to the webserver so I can access from any device for testing etc.
[22:58] <daftykins> omw that thing
[22:59] <dogmatic69> if my actual pc dies it does not matter as it is almost like a dumb terminal
[22:59] <dogmatic69> just have browser, ide etc
[23:00] <dogmatic69> daftykins: the DL360's suck power too, £60 pm each :/
[23:00] <dogmatic69> the itx should be closer to £10/15 pm
[23:01] <daftykins> :O do you know in watts?
[23:01] <daftykins> mine sucks 75W now since an upgrade
[23:02] <daftykins> speaking of whom my RAID controller just email'd me that it's beginning its' weekly verify :D
[23:03] <dogmatic69> according to pc parts picker this new one will be around 200
[23:04] <dogmatic69> atm I am too tight to power up the blade, so doing the dev on rpi :D
[23:04] <dogmatic69> slow as heck
[23:06] <daftykins> >_<
[23:41] <shauno> heh, I do that with my xeon box.  it gets turned on for 30 minutes, and then killed again.  too loud, too much juice
[23:44] <daftykins> :D
