| luna_ | anyone in London that wants free tickets to an IT Security Expo in June? | 10:59 |
| SuperMatt | I am in London, but I don't want said tickets | 11:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | wouldn't a real geek sneak in? :-P | 11:01 |
| SuperMatt | but it's going to be SUPER SECURE, surely? | 11:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | wouldn't be worth sneaking in otherwise... :-P | 11:03 |
| czajkowski | aloha | 11:43 |
| czajkowski | anyone going to AWS summit London next week ? | 11:44 |
| SuperMatt | I'd be very surprised if my boss didn't ask someone in the team to go | 11:45 |
| czajkowski | .c | 11:48 |
| czajkowski | SuperMatt: would need to register soon then | 11:48 |
| czajkowski | bah hipchat doesn't work on 18.04 :/ | 11:53 |
| czajkowski | *grumble* | 11:53 |
| daftykins | what kind of doesn't work? | 11:53 |
| czajkowski | Package hipchat4 is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 11:54 |
| czajkowski | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 11:54 |
| czajkowski | is only available from another source | 11:54 |
| czajkowski | E: Package 'hipchat4' has no installation candidate | 11:54 |
| SuperMatt | czajkowski: If I was going to something AWS related, we'd be showing off, rather than be sold to | 11:55 |
| czajkowski | SuperMatt: fair, I kinda have to be there | 11:55 |
| czajkowski | but may catch some sessions | 11:55 |
| czajkowski | was just going to suggest if others were going, to meet up for a drink, face to face | 11:56 |
| SuperMatt | well I have not been told anything thus far, but we might get invited along | 11:56 |
| daftykins | !info hipchat bionic | 12:12 |
| lubotu3 | Package hipchat does not exist in bionic | 12:12 |
| daftykins | (: | 12:12 |
| czajkowski | I always see that smiley face as the chessire cat from alice in wonderland | 12:18 |
| czajkowski | and never know if it's a :) or a :( | 12:18 |
| SuperMatt | there's no hipchat snap either | 12:23 |
| SuperMatt | I think it's mostly on its way out | 12:23 |
| czajkowski | you're probably right, can use webchat for the time being | 12:25 |
| czajkowski | I suspect we'll all end up on slack :/ | 12:25 |
| SuperMatt | I'm on slack now for work | 12:26 |
| SuperMatt | That happened a couple of weeks ago | 12:26 |
| daftykins | way too many chat progs :) | 14:26 |
| zmoylan-pi | don't worry google will sort that out :-) | 14:28 |
| Seeker` | s/sort it out/make it worse | 14:37 |
| Azelphur | Upside: 3d printed a part that causes my window to vacuum seal, Downside: water is coming in from another window now. This storm is nuts on Margate seafront xD | 14:42 |
| Azelphur | and water coming in the front door too | 14:42 |
| SuperMatt | Have you tried putting your house through the tumble dryer? | 14:50 |
| daftykins | hrmm anyone experienced on the vmware ESXi front? i'm attempting PCI passthrough of my 3ware RAID controller to a guest VM but just got "Failed to register the device pciPassthru0 for 3:0.0 due to unavailable hardware or software support." | 18:00 |
| diddledan | daftykins: does your server have VT-d? | 18:25 |
| diddledan | otherwise known as IOMMU | 18:25 |
| daftykins | it does, however there was no BIOS parameter for it - so i just removed it from the VM's settings and it has now powered on :O | 18:26 |
| diddledan | I'm not sure the freebie ESXi lets you use VT-d - I've not tried | 18:27 |
| diddledan | ooh, 6.7.0 is out | 18:28 |
| daftykins | ja i'm using 6.7.0-8169922 - turned out i didn't have enough personal details shared to be allowed a key all these past years xD | 18:28 |
| daftykins | diddledan: might be a case of Ms. Configuration - 2018-04-30T19:23:41.689Z cpu0:2100697)WARNING: PCIPassthru: 5292: Couldn't setup PCI passthru IOMMU domain because the IOMMU can't reach the entire VM's memory range (lastIopn = 0x7ffffff, lastPPN = 0x7fffffff) | 18:29 |
| * diddledan goes googley eyed | 18:29 | |
| daftykins | i wonder if it's relevant that i have it in the secondary slot rather than the primary, so it might be PCH attached rather than CPU attached | 18:32 |
| daftykins | diddledan: wow i just got the driver installed for the 3ware and now see my RAID volume inside the guest OS :D | 18:49 |
| diddledan | #o/ | 18:49 |
| diddledan | \o/ | 18:49 |
| daftykins | now i just need to run those commands to pass through my directly attached disks and my evil plan to decouple my Linux VM from being atop Windows has succeeded | 18:50 |
| daftykins | my only concern is i don't have a clue how you update ESXi free... | 18:50 |
| diddledan | this site keeps track of the updates and provides shell commands to update manually: https://esxi-patches.v-front.de/ | 18:51 |
| daftykins | ooh very handy, thanks - i currently have ESXi installed on a testing SSD inside the machine but i think that might be a waste | 18:52 |
| daftykins | have you ever done much physical install conversion? kinda tempted to image up my old Windows install (on another SSD) as a backup, then mount it directly under a VM and see if i can make it boot | 18:53 |
| diddledan | I haven't done any | 18:55 |
| daftykins | :) | 18:55 |
| daftykins | i've prepared accordingly but reinstalling the old host as a guest would be a lot of work | 18:55 |
| daftykins | take a gander at what i've done today if you're interested :) dumped the old core 2 duo kit and moved to one of my ebay specials (haswell) https://dafty.rocks/nextcloud/index.php/s/giWeZ9DfLpYzgEz | 18:56 |
| daftykins | also seriously de-dusted the case since it suffered from my building works last year :( | 18:56 |
| diddledan | is that a tall tower or is the window sill giving me optical hallucinations | 18:57 |
| diddledan | ? | 18:57 |
| daftykins | coolermaster stacker, hooooooj! | 18:57 |
| diddledan | don't confuse that toothbrush with the one in your bathroom | 18:59 |
| daftykins | :D | 18:59 |
| diddledan | what's this sata box? https://dafty.rocks/nextcloud/index.php/s/giWeZ9DfLpYzgEz#//IMG_20180430_175341.jpg | 19:00 |
| daftykins | just a SATA backplane | 19:00 |
| diddledan | aah | 19:00 |
| diddledan | looks like it's got redundant uplinks? | 19:00 |
| daftykins | i have a 6 disk array though so one has to ride up top separated xD | 19:00 |
| daftykins | yeah for SAS i think | 19:00 |
| diddledan | gotcha | 19:00 |
| diddledan | I want one of those! | 19:00 |
| diddledan | gimme! | 19:01 |
| daftykins | best part is when you first buy it and connect all your cables to the wrong set - and wonder why you see no disks! | 19:01 |
| diddledan | lol | 19:01 |
| daftykins | they're pretty dear :( £100 | 19:01 |
| diddledan | ouch | 19:01 |
| daftykins | i'd love another but yeah, ow | 19:01 |
| daftykins | the new noctua fans are ace as well, super quiet PC now | 19:01 |
| daftykins | but then it's been in the same config for over 10 years so the others were likely just wearing out | 19:02 |
| daftykins | hmm ah well spoke too soon, looks like my RAID card is dropping a few bricks when made to do some heavy IO | 19:26 |
| diddledan | dang | 19:26 |
| daftykins | if IOMMU *did* work with it in the primary slot, it might have a chance at avoiding this | 19:27 |
| daftykins | diddledan: welp i changed slot, no change, started to wonder if a host driver is needed for IOMMU use, but i think i have to just give up and accept my controller is too old to be supported | 22:11 |
| diddledan | :-( | 22:11 |
| diddledan | sadface | 22:11 |
| daftykins | i can keep trying to use passthrough without IOMMU, as it might be a driver version mismatch... buuuut i think it won't go anywhere | 22:12 |
| daftykins | the controller just completely reinitialised over and over when trying to run crystaldiskmark against the array | 22:12 |
| daftykins | after getting a rather ace 450MB/sec read rate ;D | 22:12 |
| diddledan | reinitialising suggests that the vm and the host might be fighting for contorl | 22:14 |
| daftykins | well the host has the passthrough driver module loaded for the device and is passing it through to the VM fine with BIOS boot and no IOMMU etc | 22:27 |
| daftykins | diddledan: think i found i was on an old driver in the Windows guest, buuuuut i may've broken the VM installing it 8D | 22:35 |
| diddledan | oops | 22:36 |
| daftykins | s'ok, only a testing one with no value | 22:36 |
| diddledan | don't you love governments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3WkMeObqRY | 22:37 |
| daftykins | have you caught the one about the 'ewaste' PC guy who was shipping Windows restore discs for 25c/copy and has been sent down for 18 months (or more, i forget) for doing so? | 22:42 |
| daftykins | MS managed to convince the court, for similar reasons as in that vid, that he was conducting acts of piracy and distributing potentiall unsafe software | 22:43 |
| daftykins | +y | 22:44 |
| daftykins | (oh i should add i meant manufacturer restore discs, so e.g. Dell, Lenovo, HP...) | 22:44 |
| diddledan | yeah, stupid | 22:45 |
| daftykins | Louis has a 2 hour interview on youtube but i haven't found the time yet xD | 22:45 |
| diddledan | I love this one: https://www.youtube.com/embed/fViHxVwA6hk?start=166&end=185 | 22:46 |
| daftykins | phew. | 22:48 |
| daftykins | well well, it doesn't fall over this time when the Windows VM isn't up to date - just has the controller driver on | 23:47 |
| daftykins | meh this probably isn't worth the risk of instability | 23:47 |
| zmoylan-pi | windows... stable... *bzzzzzzz* words not usually associated with each other! :-P | 23:54 |
| daftykins | i was kind of afraid to replace that server of mine, it's been rock solid :) | 23:56 |
| zmoylan-pi | yeah, lets take something that's worked ok for ever and replace it with new shiny kit... | 23:57 |
| daftykins | not wise to stay on core 2 kit due to spectre | 23:58 |
| daftykins | plus i've doubled my cores, dropped the noise and hugely dropped power consumption | 23:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | just disconnect it from all networks :-) | 23:58 |
| daftykins | that would defeat its' purpose | 23:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | lots of floppy swapping.... | 23:59 |
