08:13.18Copehello morsing_
08:13.21morsing_Cope!
08:13.33*** mode/#gllug [-o Cope] by ChanServ
08:13.40Copehello there :)
08:14.10morsing_Anyone here use Radius?
08:14.28Copenot any more... we used to, but i never knew much about it
08:14.35morsing_Hmm...
08:14.46Copedo you have a specific problem?
08:15.03morsing_Yes, PEAP and Debian
08:15.24morsing_Apparently impossible without installing a full testing distributiom
08:16.37Copeok
08:16.51Copenot sure if that's true - but why would  that be a problem?
08:20.55morsing_Installing testing on a production server? Not the wisest move really
08:21.49Copei've run several production servers on unstable
08:22.09Copetesting is absolutely fine for a productions server - perfectly stable, and has security updates
08:22.23morsing_Tell me again - is testing or unstable more unstable?
08:22.45Copeunstable is, well, unstable - but for simple servers genersally reliable and up-to-date.
08:22.51morsing_Cope: It would still mean reinstalling preferably
08:23.22Copemorsing_: yeah you ought to reinstall
08:23.41Copemorsing_: but if you wanted to stay on sarge, you could rebuild the package
08:23.52Copemorsing_: or there may be backports
08:23.59morsing_Cope: Could I? I think it would complain
08:24.14Copei see no reason not to.
08:24.32Copefind its dependencies, and rebuild those if needed... its just software
08:25.05Copemurble helped me do this once.
08:25.26morsing_Cope: It has lots of dependancies including glibc
08:25.52Copea specific version of glibc which you don't have in sarge?
08:26.01morsing_Hmm... Maybe installing a small second server as a Radius server would be better?
08:26.08morsing_Cope: YEs
08:26.13Copeyeah that sounds like a fine idea
08:26.57Copebut testing will be fine in production - just strip out the bits you don't need, perform the usual system hardening routine, and keep it up2date thereafter.
08:27.17morsing_How do I install testing from scratch?
08:27.20Copethe big advantage you have with testing is that you still get debian-packaged security updates
08:28.06Copemorsing_: grab a net install cd from the debian installer page, it will give you a choice during the installation
08:28.21morsing_'kay
08:28.39Copemorsing_: what architecture?

08:48.46Leedsanyone know what the current windows refund status is?  If we buy a machine from Dell and they refuse to ship it without Windows, should we be able to get a refund?
08:51.32Leedsour guy here has spoken to Dell and they're not interested
08:52.15Leedsthis is part of an order of N desktops with Windows, and 1 slightly bigger desktop to be my server, which obviously doesn't need an OS
08:55.13gregjdunno than, I called folks in Warsaw, and got my laptop around 300PLN (100 usd) cheaper, and with no fishy stickers on it
08:55.17gregjit was plain
08:55.29gregjwith free dos or something
08:58.40Leedsthat wasn't Dell, was it?
09:02.22Leedsah, Dell Hong Kong offer it for 'workstations' but not 'desktops'
09:03.35gregjthat was dell
09:03.38gregjbut laptop
09:03.41gregjnot a desktop
09:07.51Leedswe'll see if we can send it back
09:13.06Leedsfor $400 it's probably not worth hassling, but it might be fun :-)
09:16.11morsing_Yo - chuck it!
09:17.53Leedsnot if we've paid for it
09:18.44LeedsI'm assuming we won't be able to use it on another machine - it'll be a locked recovery thing rather than a full install...

11:28.49SlayerXPwelcome to the Internet
11:30.32mozratHmm - there seems to be an Easter Egg in the SUSE 10.0 installer
11:30.47mozratI've installed it about 4 times so far
11:30.50SlayerXPyou run it and it install SuSe?
11:30.56mozratjust got a new server to do
11:31.01SlayerXPyou run it and it doesn't install SuSe?
11:31.11SlayerXPmozrat: http://www.debian.org/
11:31.12mozratand this time the initial screen is a snowy christmassy theme with little tuxes wandering around
11:31.53Georgeanyone here got/used an X24 thinkpad?
11:32.40*** join/#gllug stephen (i=stephen@windsor.org.uk)
11:33.06mozratThanks for the link SlayerXP
11:33.33Leedsmorsing_: pong
11:34.12SlayerXPmozrat:  they take time to include seasonal crap in the installer, and you want to use it on a _server_ ? :)
11:34.15Leedsmorsing_: 20-25 minutes by car, 70-85 by public transport
11:35.04mozratSlayerXP: go and talk to my boss
11:35.20SlayerXP"Please wait while we cusomise your server...."      "Downloading  Seasonal Themes Media (820Mb), please wait..........."
11:35.33mozrathe feels warm and fuzzy by the illusion of indemnity and enterprise support
11:42.54mozratand another incredibly annoying feature of the SUSE installer is....
11:43.04mozratthe minimal install - no GUI, no other crap
11:43.13mozrattakes ~300 packages from CD1
11:43.18mozratand one single package from CD5
11:43.43SlayerXPredhat 7 had the same "feature"
11:44.09wethrinSo use the DVD
11:44.19mozratwethrin: no DVD drive on the server
11:44.26wethrinThey're cheap. Get one.
11:44.28kbsinghnetwork install ?
11:44.28mozratcould do a network install I grant you
11:44.54kbsinghmozrat, I usually keep an install copy of the distro on my laptop and have pxe setup on it - so take it over to the sever, cross cable connect the two and install
11:45.24mozratwell - yes. Network install but they could fit all the packages onto a single CD for a *minimal* install. Not including wireless tools would be a good one to drop from CD1 if they are low on space
11:45.25kbsinghnot suse though, havent installed that since the suse7 days
11:45.34mozratI don't really need wireless tools on a DL360
11:45.49kbsinghis that what it picks up ?
11:45.58mozratkbsingh: any easter eggs in the RHES/CentOS installer?
11:46.11kbsinghmozrat, nope - nothing of this nature anyway
11:46.23SlayerXPfor all the clicky distros, the minimal install is the "desktop" install for debian
11:46.30SlayerXPi.e. assume the user is clueless just in case.
11:46.42mozratkbsingh: Can I add it as a feature request :)
11:46.49kbsinghprolly not :)
11:46.54mozratbah
11:47.04kbsinghI'd rather see the installer size go down, rather than up
11:47.15kbsinghdoes being able to telnet into an installing machine, count as an easter egg ?
11:47.24SlayerXPmozrat: did it yell "KLICKEN SIE HIER!!" at all?
11:47.32mozratSlayerXP: not that I noticed
11:47.33wethrinRAUS! RAUS!
11:47.48mozratI miss the ability to be able to play tetris during the install
11:47.58mozratCaldera Linux, circa 2000
11:48.24kbsinghsomeone requested tetris during install on anaconda as well...
11:48.35kbsinghyou could always just ssh out from the box and do what you want elsewhere
11:50.18SlayerXPI've just recieved a reply from a company I mailed enquiring about the cost of them transporting my two cats to norway.
11:50.26SlayerXPthey have replied over _5 months_ after I sent the mail
11:52.50wethrinThat's not very good
11:52.54wethrinI take it your cats are with you?
11:53.23SlayerXPyes
11:53.44SlayerXPi think i'll try to flog them a mail system with shared folders

13:02.22CopeLeeds: when you say *is* Dr Who... do you mean that the character Dr Who is written into Harry Potter? Or do you mean that the baddy is portrayed by the same actort as has also portrayed the Dr Who character?

17:31.46wethrinHello
17:34.42resuDaedcould anyone help me in preparing hdds for a solaris 10 install?
17:35.21resuDaedwethrin : but do you know how to do it?
17:36.02wethrinI've not done a Solaris10 install (yet)
17:36.24resuDaedwell, I guess it would be similar to sol7/8/9 as far as how to prep a hdd
17:36.26wethrinI've done other Solaris/SPARC installs, and it was quite easy
17:36.36wethrinIf so, then just follow the instructions
17:36.48resuDaedmy disk labels/geometry are a bit screwed, and the installer quits
17:37.11wethrinOh. Maybe you need to run format on the disk
17:37.37resuDaedCorrupt label - bad geometry
17:37.46resuDaedLabel says 17690624 blocks; Drive says 17689267 blocks
17:38.31wethrinTry running format
17:39.22resuDaedhmmm.... looking good
17:40.12resuDaedfrom the shell, do you know how I would restart the installer?
17:40.31wethrinNope. Sorry
17:40.47resuDaedgrrr.... takes fscking ages to start up :-(
17:41.04wethrinWhat're you installing it on?
17:41.48resuDaedultra 2 (2x300MHz/1536MB RAM/2x9GB SCSIs)
17:42.10wethrinWill Sol10 run on those?
17:42.41resuDaedyep, needs 1x 270MHz, and 256MB RAM
17:43.04wethrinokay
17:43.54resuDaedbut I am sshd over a WLAN into a box connected to it over a serial line, so it's all a bit laggy
17:44.14resuDaedand that box is running gentoo and compiling atm
17:44.31resuDaedand I am on windows on my laptop running putty
17:44.39wethrinThat seems horrid
17:45.04resuDaedtell me about it, I am trying to find a distro I like to go on my laptop
17:45.13wethrinSlackware!
17:45.19wethrinActually, why not just run FreeBSD?
17:45.43resuDaedany particular reason other than your preference?
17:45.52wethrinNo
17:45.58resuDaed:P
17:46.05wethrinWell, that and all distros suck
17:46.24resuDaedI am noticing (have tried a fair few recently)
17:47.24resuDaedwell: SuSE, FC, debian (and ubuntu) and LFS (which was too much work, especially on a 500MHz P3)
17:47.55wethrinTry Slackware, then
17:48.22wethrinHello George
17:48.26resuDaedI quite like gentoo, but don't really have the cpu for it on here ... would have to wait till I got home and had distcc
17:48.28wethrinHow come you're happy?
17:48.34Georgedunno
17:48.37GeorgeI just wiped gentoo on my desktop
17:48.47wethrinIs that like wiping your arse?
17:48.49Georgeno
17:49.00GeorgeI just deleted the linux install on my desktop
17:49.03resuDaedI don't like slackware much because there is no easy way to remove/update s/w
17:49.03GeorgeI'm depressed
17:49.05wethrinOr you got rid of it, rather than getting it spread like shit?
17:49.14wethrinresuDaed: Oh yes there is!
17:49.16Georgeheh
17:49.20GeorgeI'm now reinstalling gentoo
17:49.37*** join/#gllug weasl (n=weasl@bigstick.force9.co.uk)
17:51.13resuDaedwethrin : but isn't that an external project (ie not slackwares own)? I'd rather that was something maintined by my distro
17:52.01wethrinWell, then 'make deinstall' exists :)
17:52.55resuDaedthink I might set up distcc and use gentoo... I have a dual P3 and an athlon sitting idle most of the time
17:54.16wethrinSeems rather wasteful
17:55.58resuDaedthe athlon is my desktop (with a broken battery connector, so every time I turn it on it thinks it is 2022 and after syncing time decides it is time to updatedb (the only time it ever really uses its cpu))
17:56.38resuDaedrunning ubuntu and winXP (for playing the occaisional game)
17:56.56resuDaedthe dual P3 is running gentoo and doesn't really do much
17:57.12resuDaedthe dual ultra 2 I just tur on when it gets cold in my room
17:57.33resuDaedand the ultra 5 holds my monitor up
17:57.48wethrin:)
17:58.14resuDaedand they all get turned off at night (until I fit my wardrobe with sound proofing and air con)
17:58.36resuDaedoh, and the miniITX is a foot rest
17:58.55wethrinHehe. So you hardly run any of your machines
17:59.40resuDaednot atm, I am on aoHell, so all important internet things are handled by the boxen at home
18:00.49resuDaednot sure what to do with them, except maybe mirror the "server" in enfield
18:00.52George17:47 <chouimat> i'm currently starting to really get pissed off at the "french people" and those who think they are holier than the pope
18:00.55George:)
18:01.28wethrinEveryone hates the French :)
18:01.37wethrinyar
18:01.41Georgehe's french canadian
18:01.42George:)
18:01.50Georgeso he fucking HATES them
18:01.51Georgehaha
18:02.34wethrinEh. Everyone in Canada hates the Quebecois.
18:02.47George:)
18:03.19resuDaedwethrin : can you think of uses for my boxes?
18:03.23GeorgeI have too much shit in my computer
18:04.10*** join/#gllug weasl_ (n=weasl@bigstick.force9.co.uk)
18:04.29wethrinresuDaed: No. I barely have use for my machines
18:10.13resuDaedinfact, I don't even irc from sheffield, being on an aol connection, I am banned from #debian, so I log in through bigbertha in enfield
18:13.20resuDaedhmmm... going hunting for food... bbs
18:14.22wethrinhmm. That's awfully harsh of them
18:21.21GeorgeresuDaed: wtf are you doing on aol?
18:21.46wethrinHis housemates aren't intelligent
18:21.57Georgehaha
