| elky | :( | 02:02 |
| * philip15 says hello | 02:02 | |
| elky | i was informing them of a thing :( | 02:02 |
| rww | hihi philip15 | 02:02 |

| grantbow | at least it was short :-) | 02:23 |
| grantbow | thanks for hosting rww | 02:23 |
| Roguehorse | Anyone still around is did everyone bail? | 02:37 |
| rww | we all bailed. no topics to discuss :( | 02:38 |
| Roguehorse | Awww ... bummer. | 02:38 |
| Roguehorse | I was hoping to make the meeting tonight but got caught up in my paper for school | 02:39 |
| nhaines | Roguehorse: ironically, for all practical purposes, you made it. :P | 02:39 |
| elky | that is far more important | 02:39 |
| nhaines | Unless you had something to discuss. In which case we can still do that anway. :) | 02:39 |
| Roguehorse | Um .. Any plans for this summer? Events? I tried to follow up with pleia through email to no answer | 02:41 |
| rww | nobody's come up with anything, as far as I know | 02:41 |
| rww | pleia2's been a tad busy flying around the planet and having surgery :( | 02:42 |
| Roguehorse | Oh no! The travel I knew ... sorry to hear that :( | 02:42 |
| Roguehorse | Ya know, I just started playing with an Ubuntu Server install ... maybe we could do some sort of picnic/server config thing? | 02:43 |
| Roguehorse | When I start it up I get some kind of fail on the Samba but it rolls by so fast I can't read it | 02:45 |
| nhaines | Yes, the doctors say she should be walking and talking again in no time. | 02:45 |
| nhaines | Roguehorse: welcome to the magic of Shift-PgUp/PgDn. :) | 02:46 |
| nhaines | Also dmesg. | 02:46 |
| nhaines | Particularly 'dmesg | less' | 02:46 |
| Roguehorse | Woulkd it make a difference being in a VM? | 02:47 |
| nhaines | None. :) | 02:48 |
| Roguehorse | good | 02:48 |
| rww | scrolllock! | 02:48 |
| rww | or does that not work this decade | 02:48 |
| nhaines | If you have a DEC terminal. :P | 02:48 |
| Roguehorse | hehe | 02:48 |
| nhaines | I haven't tried it in a while. I'm usually trying to put out the fire afterward. :) | 02:49 |
| rww | pretty sure it works on my debian, but that doesn't really narrow it down to this decade | 02:49 |
| nhaines | On my 386 I'd just press Pause. | 02:49 |
| Roguehorse | anyway, the picnic/config thing was a thought | 02:50 |
| Roguehorse | I'll play with it again probably Tuesday at the earliest. Sat - Mon are usually my heaviest homework days | 02:51 |
| nhaines | That's the fun thing about VMs. :) | 02:55 |
| Roguehorse | So anyway, I have an Ubuntu Server, a Windows, a Kubuntu and a CentOS network all to connect together in VirtualBox | 02:58 |
| Roguehorse | I wanted everything to be different for the challenge | 03:02 |
| Roguehorse | Or I'm crazier than I realize | 03:02 |
| nhaines | haha | 03:03 |
| nhaines | Well, Ubuntu Server and Kubuntu are basically the same thing. :) And CentOS should be very similar when it comes to Samba. | 03:03 |
| Roguehorse | So of course only the Windows install is going to give me troubles? | 03:04 |
| nhaines | Windows only does SMB. So if Samba's up and running it should be trivial. | 03:05 |
| Roguehorse | I selected SSH, Samba and Mail installations for the server | 03:06 |
| Roguehorse | Apache might be in there but I've already messed with that a while so that's not new to me | 03:07 |
| nhaines | I remember as a kid in high school, you just couldn't get server versions of software without spending hundreds--which I didn't have. | 03:15 |
| nhaines | It's really great to be able to just grab software and try it. :) | 03:15 |
| Roguehorse | No kidding. Without Linux or virtualization I would never be able to even try any of this without having to devote half a room and a bankroll | 03:21 |
| Roguehorse | Linux distros have allowed me to learn so much more than anything else very fast | 03:22 |
| Roguehorse | I try and convince other students at my University they should try it, but many are just either stubborn or scared - it's their loss | 03:29 |
| Roguehorse | I want to get one of these -- http://www.tinygreenpc.com/microsvr.aspx | 03:33 |
| darthrobot` | Title: [MicroSVR | Fanless Powerful Microserver | Tiny Green PC] | 03:33 |
| ianorlin | yeah that is fun to just try stuff | 03:42 |
| nhaines | It is their loss! | 03:45 |
| nhaines | And the best thing is you're not learning on some "trial" edition or student edition. It's the big time, right from the start. | 03:46 |
| ianorlin | that you promptly forget because can't practice after graduating | 03:46 |
| rww | yeah, I like how you can read something on G+ about a cool thing a FOSS distro can do, spin up a VM or three, and try it | 03:47 |
| nhaines | Or you hit a wall because some settings were changed to accomodate a smaller workload, so the full version works differently. | 03:47 |
| Roguehorse | Yes, probably the LARGEST downfall of my university is the lack of labs | 03:57 |
| * ianorlin is using still using the laptop he went to UCLA with | 03:57 | |
| Roguehorse | ianorlin: That's cool! | 03:58 |
| ianorlin | but that was only a little over a year ago | 03:58 |
| ianorlin | it is nearly 5 years old now | 03:58 |
| Roguehorse | LOL! | 03:58 |
| Roguehorse | I didn't own a computer my first three times to college | 03:58 |
| ianorlin | but broadcom wifi :( | 03:59 |
| nhaines | Most modern broadcom chips work a treat. Despite the apathy of Broadcom. | 04:01 |
| ianorlin | no it works fine in GUI but is only supported by wl driver and if I switch to tty my tty gets flooded | 04:03 |
| ianorlin | I could sudo modprobe -r wl but that makes me unable to use wireless I think b43 drivers works but not for 5ghz and is not supported | 04:04 |
| * ianorlin did not see you at OCLUG so I could not show you the text mode problem | 04:06 | |
| nhaines | That's odd? | 04:06 |
| nhaines | yeah, I was running around San Diego playing Ingress. | 04:06 |
| ianorlin | I remember there are complications to running both b43 and wl | 04:07 |
| nhaines | Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) | 04:08 |
| nhaines | That's mine. Works perfectly. | 04:08 |
| ianorlin | http://paste.openstack.org/show/88616 wl ate my dmesg | 04:09 |
| darthrobot` | [R: paste.openstack.org] Title: [Paste #88616 | LodgeIt!] | 04:09 |
| nhaines | bcmwl is my driver. | 04:09 |
| Roguehorse | Do you guys use desktops at all? | 04:27 |
| nhaines | Desktops? | 04:39 |
| Roguehorse | Well, gotta roll, got stuff to get done in the next hour or so....later | 04:39 |
| nhaines | Sure. :) Actually, one of the nicest things is to have a nice graphics card and dual monitors. XD | 04:40 |
| ianorlin | yay found and fixed typo in my resume | 22:19 |
