| zmoylan-pi | a little part of me always hopes that these 8 bit geniuses is committing cyber crime just so when the police raid them they have to go through their entire speccy mag cover tape collection looking for incriminating data... :-P | 00:34 |
| davmor2 | Morning all | 09:10 |
| foobarry | my 3yr old daughter drew a picture for her brother for his birthday | 09:22 |

| davmor2 | All the people, Zombie people, all walk hand in hand, hand in hand through their dead life! | 09:27 |
| davmor2 | foobarry: you have a goth in the making, that or your own series of sixth sense and she sees dead people ;) | 09:28 |
| foobarry | its just a pretty picture of her family and dog in pink | 09:28 |
| davmor2 | foobarry: it's not actually that bad a picture :) | 09:29 |
| davmor2 | foobarry: at least you can tell they are people :) | 09:29 |
| brobostigon | morning boys nd girls. | 09:43 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all, and happy Blue Monday! 😁 | 10:04 |

| diplo | Afternoon all, just thought I'd probe here before going to far how you guys would sync a table between 2 mysql servers each night, just a plain old dump and restore in a script ? | 12:17 |
| diplo | Not sure it's worth the effort of replication being setup | 12:17 |
| Safiyyah | Hi all, I am trying to connect to my desktop remotely using the X2go client | 12:31 |
| Safiyyah | I am infront of both machines, it seems that I don't have a complete understanding of the hostname | 12:32 |
| Safiyyah | my desktop is called safiyyah-desktop and my laptop is called safiyyah-laptop | 12:32 |
| Safiyyah | however that isn't going through | 12:33 |
| foobarry | anyone played with raspberry pi/ardunio and motors ? want to perhaps control a knex thing withit | 12:34 |
| * brobostigon puts his hand up and says, "arduino" | 12:36 | |
| popey | Safiyyah: often your home connection router won't resolve them like that, but might if you add ".local" on them, so safiyyah-desktop.local and safiyyah-laptop.laptop | 12:36 |
| Safiyyah | that didn't work | 12:39 |
| Safiyyah | :( | 12:39 |
| foobarry | brobostigon: any exp with knex motors? | 12:41 |
| brobostigon | foobarry: last project was to control hydraulic motors. not that i recall, sorry. | 12:42 |
| popey | Safiyyah: another option is to set a fixed IP either on each machine or in the dhcp settings on the router (if you have access) | 12:57 |
| Safiyyah | popey 1 issue is that they both have the same ip address | 13:23 |
| popey | heh | 13:23 |
| popey | that's suboptimal | 13:23 |
| foobarry | what is the IP? | 13:23 |
| foobarry | 169.254... | 13:23 |
| foobarry | 127.0.0.1 ...:P | 13:24 |
| Safiyyah | 127.0.1.1 | 13:24 |
| Safiyyah | the local is 127.0.0.0 | 13:24 |
| Safiyyah | but both machines are on 127.0.1.1 | 13:25 |
| popey | they probably have more than one IP address | 13:25 |
| foobarry | what is your outpout from ifconfig command | 13:26 |
| popey | click network manager in the top right, and choose connection information | 13:26 |
| popey | look in the tab for your wired or wireless connection | 13:26 |
| Safiyyah | that says wired connection 1 | 13:27 |
| Safiyyah | laptop is on wi-fi | 13:28 |
| Safiyyah | calling virginmedia for info on accessing router | 13:30 |
| popey | yes, in wired connection 1 | 13:38 |
| popey | you should see a section "IPv4" and under that "IP Address:" | 13:38 |
| popey | that's your computer IP | 13:38 |
| popey | you should find similar on the other computer, but it will say the name of the wireless network you're on | 13:39 |
| popey | Safiyyah: e.g. http://imgur.com/a/PpNv3 | 13:39 |
| Safiyyah | popey, yes, I have it and access to my router | 14:03 |
| Safiyyah | now it's how to enter the information onto x2go correctly | 14:04 |
| diddledan | new pi compute module: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/compute-module-3-launch/ | 14:19 |
| * zmoylan-pi wonders how big the pi compute community is compared to the regular community | 14:44 | |
| davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: more specialised at a guess so I would imagine 20% as many users maybe, but I would imaging that device using pi built in are more likely to be pi compute | 14:49 |
| Safiyyah | popey It tried my IP address as a hostname and nothing still | 15:03 |
| popey | Safiyyah: sorry, I've never used x2go | 15:04 |
| Azelphur | Ah, nothing like waking up in the morning to a dead 5TB drive. :< https://dpaste.de/paxg | 15:24 |
| Azelphur | mdadm handled it like a champ though, removed the drive from the array and nagios has bleeted at me | 15:25 |
| diddledan | \o/ | 15:26 |
| Azelphur | ordered another one off ebuyer, drop it in and go in theory, it's a RAID6 so everything is still chugging along | 15:28 |
| Laney | i wonder if anything would tell me if one of my raided drives failed | 15:40 |
| === layke is now known as Guest80872 | ||
| Safiyyah | popey what do you use? | 16:09 |
| popey | I don't :) | 16:09 |
| popey | I never have the need to remotely control another desktop. | 16:09 |
| * diddledan remotely controls popey's desktop | 16:10 | |
| * diddledan makes the pointer spell-out rude words | 16:10 | |
| Azelphur | Laney: depends, whats your setup? | 16:17 |
| Laney | Azelphur: md | 16:19 |
| Azelphur | Laney: well, when a drive failed mdadm would remove it | 16:19 |
| Azelphur | and put the array in a degraded state | 16:20 |
| Azelphur | if you don't have anything on top of that to monitor mdadm, then no, you'd never know | 16:20 |
| diddledan | ergh. why does sky/nowtv _still_ require silverlight?! | 16:20 |
| Laney | I know that md would handle it | 16:20 |
| Azelphur | should set up nagios or monit or something to let you know :) | 16:21 |
| Laney | Maybe something would stop the boot for example and shout at me | 16:21 |
| davmor2 | Laney: yes the lack of noise in the room ;) | 16:21 |
| diplo | Laney: I used as Azelphur mentioned nagios to monitor a customers raid ( issues with a battery or something ) and got it to send alerts via telegram | 16:23 |
| Laney | diplo: it makes me say blerg | 16:24 |
| Laney | 10 years ago I would have been all over configuring that | 16:24 |
| Laney | now I want something in the system to do it for me by default :( | 16:25 |
| popey | pretty sure logwatch used to send me mails about raid failures | 16:25 |
| popey | that was near zero setup | 16:25 |
| Laney | I could go pull out a drive and see what happens | 16:26 |
| davmor2 | Laney: still the noise when the noise stops somethings gone wrong ;) | 16:26 |
| Laney | something in the boot process or desktop ought to notice imho | 16:26 |
| Laney | davmor2: I spent quite some time making this computer very quiet :P | 16:26 |
| popey | oh, you don't currently have a failed drive? | 16:27 |
| Laney | nope | 16:27 |
| popey | pretty sure it does halt boot and put the message on screen | 16:27 |
| popey | c to continue, m to manually recover | 16:27 |
| Laney | I'm just wondering if I would know if one of them failed | 16:27 |
| Laney | nice | 16:27 |
| davmor2 | Laney: log into it with byobu that tells you the state of raid if you enable the plugin I believe :) | 16:27 |
| Laney | I remember some "boot degraded" thing vaguely | 16:27 |
| popey | i had that on my home server and had to go and plug a screen in to find out which key to press | 16:27 |
| popey | could test this in kvm | 16:28 |
| popey | by creating a few disks and then boot with one missing | 16:28 |
| diplo | hah I had to do the same popey :) | 16:28 |
| popey | interesting exercise | 16:28 |
| Laney | hmm | 16:28 |
| Laney | something generic in the desktop would be nice | 16:29 |
| Laney | could be a fun project | 16:29 |
| Laney | think udisks2 knows about smart and raid stuff | 16:30 |
| Laney | just got to surface that | 16:30 |
| Laney | mmmmmmmmmm | 16:30 |
| diplo | Edit mdadm.conf and stick the device and MAILADDR and then run mdadm --monitor --scan --daemonize | 16:30 |
| diplo | Done | 16:30 |
| Safiyyah | okay so I got things moving, with SSH I have access to the terminal on the desktop (even on putty) would like a graphical one, help please | 17:29 |
| Safiyyah | On x2go I am logging in but not to the live session, is there a way to log into the live session itself? like VNC on the phone? | 17:30 |
| daftykins | if anyone signs up to the retail ombudsman website, be prepared for many lulz | 18:17 |
| daftykins | i broke their site last night by putting a £ symbol in a text field | 18:18 |
| davmor2 | daftykins: hahahahahahaha | 18:38 |
| daftykins | oh and you'll be emailed your password in plain text | 18:44 |
| davmor2 | daftykins: what's the problem with that, they didn't add it to billboard up and down the country so it's perfectly safe right :D | 18:46 |
| daftykins | =] | 18:46 |
| diddledan | daftykins: did you try using Bobby Tables' name as your name? | 18:50 |
| daftykins | diddledan: i want to reply with that XD | 18:54 |
| daftykins | when i signed up right, it set my email to be <generated string>@myname.co.uk - utter madness | 18:54 |
| daftykins | he called it a 'glitch' that got fixed this morning | 18:55 |
