[00:04] argh that compression artefacting o0 [00:34] 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 [09:10] Morning all [09:22] my 3yr old daughter drew a picture for her brother for his birthday [09:23] http://imgur.com/nRnfgKh NEVER SLEEP AGAIN [09:27] All the people, Zombie people, all walk hand in hand, hand in hand through their dead life! [09:28] foobarry: you have a goth in the making, that or your own series of sixth sense and she sees dead people ;) [09:28] its just a pretty picture of her family and dog in pink [09:29] foobarry: it's not actually that bad a picture :) [09:29] foobarry: at least you can tell they are people :) [09:43] morning boys nd girls. [10:04] Good morning all, and happy Blue Monday! 😁 [10:24] * zmoylan-pi puts on blue monday by new order... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYH8DsU2WCk [11:03] JamesTait: now that this has been ruined on 2 channels I'll again go with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kobdb37Cwc :D === Victor is now known as Guest33839 [12:17] 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] Not sure it's worth the effort of replication being setup [12:31] Hi all, I am trying to connect to my desktop remotely using the X2go client [12:32] I am infront of both machines, it seems that I don't have a complete understanding of the hostname [12:32] my desktop is called safiyyah-desktop and my laptop is called safiyyah-laptop [12:33] however that isn't going through [12:34] anyone played with raspberry pi/ardunio and motors ? want to perhaps control a knex thing withit [12:36] * brobostigon puts his hand up and says, "arduino" [12:36] 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 [12:39] that didn't work [12:39] :( [12:41] brobostigon: any exp with knex motors? [12:42] foobarry: last project was to control hydraulic motors. not that i recall, sorry. [12:57] 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) [13:23] popey 1 issue is that they both have the same ip address [13:23] heh [13:23] that's suboptimal [13:23] what is the IP? [13:23] 169.254... [13:24] 127.0.0.1 ...:P [13:24] 127.0.1.1 [13:24] the local is 127.0.0.0 [13:25] but both machines are on 127.0.1.1 [13:25] they probably have more than one IP address [13:26] what is your outpout from ifconfig command [13:26] click network manager in the top right, and choose connection information [13:26] look in the tab for your wired or wireless connection [13:27] that says wired connection 1 [13:28] laptop is on wi-fi [13:30] calling virginmedia for info on accessing router [13:38] yes, in wired connection 1 [13:38] you should see a section "IPv4" and under that "IP Address:" [13:38] that's your computer IP [13:39] you should find similar on the other computer, but it will say the name of the wireless network you're on [13:39] Safiyyah: e.g. http://imgur.com/a/PpNv3 [14:03] popey, yes, I have it and access to my router [14:04] now it's how to enter the information onto x2go correctly [14:19] new pi compute module: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/compute-module-3-launch/ [14:44] * zmoylan-pi wonders how big the pi compute community is compared to the regular community [14:49] 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 [15:03] popey It tried my IP address as a hostname and nothing still [15:04] Safiyyah: sorry, I've never used x2go [15:24] Ah, nothing like waking up in the morning to a dead 5TB drive. :< https://dpaste.de/paxg [15:25] mdadm handled it like a champ though, removed the drive from the array and nagios has bleeted at me [15:26] \o/ [15:28] ordered another one off ebuyer, drop it in and go in theory, it's a RAID6 so everything is still chugging along [15:40] i wonder if anything would tell me if one of my raided drives failed === layke is now known as Guest80872 [16:09] popey what do you use? [16:09] I don't :) [16:09] I never have the need to remotely control another desktop. [16:10] * diddledan remotely controls popey's desktop [16:10] * diddledan makes the pointer spell-out rude words [16:17] Laney: depends, whats your setup? [16:19] Azelphur: md [16:19] Laney: well, when a drive failed mdadm would remove it [16:20] and put the array in a degraded state [16:20] if you don't have anything on top of that to monitor mdadm, then no, you'd never know [16:20] ergh. why does sky/nowtv _still_ require silverlight?! [16:20] I know that md would handle it [16:21] should set up nagios or monit or something to let you know :) [16:21] Maybe something would stop the boot for example and shout at me [16:21] Laney: yes the lack of noise in the room ;) [16:23] 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 [16:24] diplo: it makes me say blerg [16:24] 10 years ago I would have been all over configuring that [16:25] now I want something in the system to do it for me by default :( [16:25] pretty sure logwatch used to send me mails about raid failures [16:25] that was near zero setup [16:26] I could go pull out a drive and see what happens [16:26] Laney: still the noise when the noise stops somethings gone wrong ;) [16:26] something in the boot process or desktop ought to notice imho [16:26] davmor2: I spent quite some time making this computer very quiet :P [16:27] oh, you don't currently have a failed drive? [16:27] nope [16:27] pretty sure it does halt boot and put the message on screen [16:27] c to continue, m to manually recover [16:27] I'm just wondering if I would know if one of them failed [16:27] nice [16:27] Laney: log into it with byobu that tells you the state of raid if you enable the plugin I believe :) [16:27] I remember some "boot degraded" thing vaguely [16:27] i had that on my home server and had to go and plug a screen in to find out which key to press [16:28] could test this in kvm [16:28] by creating a few disks and then boot with one missing [16:28] hah I had to do the same popey :) [16:28] interesting exercise [16:28] hmm [16:29] something generic in the desktop would be nice [16:29] could be a fun project [16:30] think udisks2 knows about smart and raid stuff [16:30] just got to surface that [16:30] mmmmmmmmmm [16:30] Edit mdadm.conf and stick the device and MAILADDR and then run mdadm --monitor --scan --daemonize [16:30] Done [17:29] 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 [17:30] 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? [18:17] if anyone signs up to the retail ombudsman website, be prepared for many lulz [18:18] i broke their site last night by putting a £ symbol in a text field [18:38] daftykins: hahahahahahaha [18:44] oh and you'll be emailed your password in plain text [18:46] 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] =] [18:50] daftykins: did you try using Bobby Tables' name as your name? [18:54] diddledan: i want to reply with that XD [18:54] when i signed up right, it set my email to be @myname.co.uk - utter madness [18:55] he called it a 'glitch' that got fixed this morning [21:05] hi
