| 08:13.40 | Cope | hello there :) |
| 08:14.10 | morsing_ | Anyone here use Radius? |
| 08:14.28 | Cope | not any more... we used to, but i never knew much about it |
| 08:14.35 | morsing_ | Hmm... |
| 08:14.46 | Cope | do you have a specific problem? |
| 08:15.03 | morsing_ | Yes, PEAP and Debian |
| 08:15.24 | morsing_ | Apparently impossible without installing a full testing distributiom |
| 08:16.37 | Cope | ok |
| 08:16.51 | Cope | not sure if that's true - but why would that be a problem? |
| 08:20.55 | morsing_ | Installing testing on a production server? Not the wisest move really |
| 08:21.49 | Cope | i've run several production servers on unstable |
| 08:22.09 | Cope | testing is absolutely fine for a productions server - perfectly stable, and has security updates |
| 08:22.23 | morsing_ | Tell me again - is testing or unstable more unstable? |
| 08:22.45 | Cope | unstable is, well, unstable - but for simple servers genersally reliable and up-to-date. |
| 08:22.51 | morsing_ | Cope: It would still mean reinstalling preferably |
| 08:23.22 | Cope | morsing_: yeah you ought to reinstall |
| 08:23.41 | Cope | morsing_: but if you wanted to stay on sarge, you could rebuild the package |
| 08:23.52 | Cope | morsing_: or there may be backports |
| 08:23.59 | morsing_ | Cope: Could I? I think it would complain |
| 08:24.14 | Cope | i see no reason not to. |
| 08:24.32 | Cope | find its dependencies, and rebuild those if needed... its just software |
| 08:25.05 | Cope | murble helped me do this once. |
| 08:25.26 | morsing_ | Cope: It has lots of dependancies including glibc |
| 08:25.52 | Cope | a specific version of glibc which you don't have in sarge? |
| 08:26.01 | morsing_ | Hmm... Maybe installing a small second server as a Radius server would be better? |
| 08:26.08 | morsing_ | Cope: YEs |
| 08:26.13 | Cope | yeah that sounds like a fine idea |
| 08:26.57 | Cope | but 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. |
| 08:27.17 | morsing_ | How do I install testing from scratch? |
| 08:27.20 | Cope | the big advantage you have with testing is that you still get debian-packaged security updates |
| 08:28.06 | Cope | morsing_: grab a net install cd from the debian installer page, it will give you a choice during the installation |
| 08:28.21 | morsing_ | 'kay |
| 08:28.39 | Cope | morsing_: what architecture? |

| 08:51.32 | Leeds | our guy here has spoken to Dell and they're not interested |
| 08:52.15 | Leeds | this 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 |
| 08:55.13 | gregj | dunno than, I called folks in Warsaw, and got my laptop around 300PLN (100 usd) cheaper, and with no fishy stickers on it |

| 11:28.49 | SlayerXP | welcome to the Internet |
| 11:30.32 | mozrat | Hmm - there seems to be an Easter Egg in the SUSE 10.0 installer |
| 11:30.47 | mozrat | I've installed it about 4 times so far |
| 11:30.50 | SlayerXP | you run it and it install SuSe? |
| 11:30.56 | mozrat | just got a new server to do |
| 11:31.01 | SlayerXP | you run it and it doesn't install SuSe? |
| 11:31.11 | SlayerXP | mozrat: http://www.debian.org/ |
| 11:31.12 | mozrat | and this time the initial screen is a snowy christmassy theme with little tuxes wandering around |
| 11:31.53 | George | anyone here got/used an X24 thinkpad? |
| 11:32.40 | *** join/#gllug stephen (i=stephen@windsor.org.uk) |
| 11:33.06 | mozrat | Thanks for the link SlayerXP |
| 11:33.33 | Leeds | morsing_: pong |
| 11:34.12 | SlayerXP | mozrat: they take time to include seasonal crap in the installer, and you want to use it on a _server_ ? :) |
| 11:34.15 | Leeds | morsing_: 20-25 minutes by car, 70-85 by public transport |
| 11:35.04 | mozrat | SlayerXP: go and talk to my boss |
| 11:35.20 | SlayerXP | "Please wait while we cusomise your server...." "Downloading Seasonal Themes Media (820Mb), please wait..........." |
| 11:35.33 | mozrat | he feels warm and fuzzy by the illusion of indemnity and enterprise support |
| 11:42.54 | mozrat | and another incredibly annoying feature of the SUSE installer is.... |
| 11:43.04 | mozrat | the minimal install - no GUI, no other crap |
| 11:43.13 | mozrat | takes ~300 packages from CD1 |
| 11:43.18 | mozrat | and one single package from CD5 |
| 11:43.43 | SlayerXP | redhat 7 had the same "feature" |
| 11:44.09 | wethrin | So use the DVD |
| 11:44.19 | mozrat | wethrin: no DVD drive on the server |
| 11:44.26 | wethrin | They're cheap. Get one. |
| 11:44.28 | kbsingh | network install ? |
| 11:44.28 | mozrat | could do a network install I grant you |
| 11:44.54 | kbsingh | mozrat, 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 |
| 11:45.24 | mozrat | well - 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 |
| 11:45.25 | kbsingh | not suse though, havent installed that since the suse7 days |
| 11:45.34 | mozrat | I don't really need wireless tools on a DL360 |
| 11:45.49 | kbsingh | is that what it picks up ? |
| 11:45.58 | mozrat | kbsingh: any easter eggs in the RHES/CentOS installer? |
| 11:46.11 | kbsingh | mozrat, nope - nothing of this nature anyway |
| 11:46.23 | SlayerXP | for all the clicky distros, the minimal install is the "desktop" install for debian |
| 11:46.30 | SlayerXP | i.e. assume the user is clueless just in case. |
| 11:46.42 | mozrat | kbsingh: Can I add it as a feature request :) |
| 11:46.49 | kbsingh | prolly not :) |
| 11:46.54 | mozrat | bah |
| 11:47.04 | kbsingh | I'd rather see the installer size go down, rather than up |
| 11:47.15 | kbsingh | does being able to telnet into an installing machine, count as an easter egg ? |
| 11:47.24 | SlayerXP | mozrat: did it yell "KLICKEN SIE HIER!!" at all? |
| 11:47.32 | mozrat | SlayerXP: not that I noticed |
| 11:47.33 | wethrin | RAUS! RAUS! |
| 11:47.48 | mozrat | I miss the ability to be able to play tetris during the install |
| 11:47.58 | mozrat | Caldera Linux, circa 2000 |
| 11:48.24 | kbsingh | someone requested tetris during install on anaconda as well... |
| 11:48.35 | kbsingh | you could always just ssh out from the box and do what you want elsewhere |
| 11:50.18 | SlayerXP | I've just recieved a reply from a company I mailed enquiring about the cost of them transporting my two cats to norway. |

| 17:31.46 | wethrin | Hello |
| 17:34.42 | resuDaed | could anyone help me in preparing hdds for a solaris 10 install? |
| 17:35.21 | resuDaed | wethrin : but do you know how to do it? |
| 17:36.02 | wethrin | I've not done a Solaris10 install (yet) |
| 17:36.24 | resuDaed | well, I guess it would be similar to sol7/8/9 as far as how to prep a hdd |
| 17:36.26 | wethrin | I've done other Solaris/SPARC installs, and it was quite easy |
| 17:36.36 | wethrin | If so, then just follow the instructions |
| 17:36.48 | resuDaed | my disk labels/geometry are a bit screwed, and the installer quits |
| 17:37.11 | wethrin | Oh. Maybe you need to run format on the disk |
| 17:37.37 | resuDaed | Corrupt label - bad geometry |
| 17:37.46 | resuDaed | Label says 17690624 blocks; Drive says 17689267 blocks |
| 17:38.31 | wethrin | Try running format |
| 17:39.22 | resuDaed | hmmm.... looking good |
| 17:40.12 | resuDaed | from the shell, do you know how I would restart the installer? |
| 17:40.31 | wethrin | Nope. Sorry |
| 17:40.47 | resuDaed | grrr.... takes fscking ages to start up :-( |
| 17:41.04 | wethrin | What're you installing it on? |
| 17:41.48 | resuDaed | ultra 2 (2x300MHz/1536MB RAM/2x9GB SCSIs) |
| 17:42.10 | wethrin | Will Sol10 run on those? |
| 17:42.41 | resuDaed | yep, needs 1x 270MHz, and 256MB RAM |
| 17:43.04 | wethrin | okay |
| 17:43.54 | resuDaed | but I am sshd over a WLAN into a box connected to it over a serial line, so it's all a bit laggy |
| 17:44.14 | resuDaed | and that box is running gentoo and compiling atm |
| 17:44.31 | resuDaed | and I am on windows on my laptop running putty |
| 17:44.39 | wethrin | That seems horrid |
| 17:45.04 | resuDaed | tell me about it, I am trying to find a distro I like to go on my laptop |
| 17:45.13 | wethrin | Slackware! |
| 17:45.19 | wethrin | Actually, why not just run FreeBSD? |
| 17:45.43 | resuDaed | any particular reason other than your preference? |
| 17:45.52 | wethrin | No |
| 17:45.58 | resuDaed | :P |
| 17:46.05 | wethrin | Well, that and all distros suck |
| 17:46.24 | resuDaed | I am noticing (have tried a fair few recently) |
| 17:47.24 | resuDaed | well: SuSE, FC, debian (and ubuntu) and LFS (which was too much work, especially on a 500MHz P3) |
| 17:47.55 | wethrin | Try Slackware, then |
| 17:48.22 | wethrin | Hello George |
| 17:48.26 | resuDaed | I 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 |
| 17:48.28 | wethrin | How come you're happy? |
| 17:48.34 | George | dunno |
| 17:48.37 | George | I just wiped gentoo on my desktop |
| 17:48.47 | wethrin | Is that like wiping your arse? |
| 17:48.49 | George | no |
| 17:49.00 | George | I just deleted the linux install on my desktop |
| 17:49.03 | resuDaed | I don't like slackware much because there is no easy way to remove/update s/w |
| 17:49.03 | George | I'm depressed |
| 17:49.05 | wethrin | Or you got rid of it, rather than getting it spread like shit? |
| 17:49.14 | wethrin | resuDaed: Oh yes there is! |
| 17:49.16 | George | heh |
| 17:49.20 | George | I'm now reinstalling gentoo |
| 17:49.37 | *** join/#gllug weasl (n=weasl@bigstick.force9.co.uk) |
| 17:51.13 | resuDaed | wethrin : but isn't that an external project (ie not slackwares own)? I'd rather that was something maintined by my distro |
| 17:52.01 | wethrin | Well, then 'make deinstall' exists :) |
| 17:52.55 | resuDaed | think I might set up distcc and use gentoo... I have a dual P3 and an athlon sitting idle most of the time |
| 17:54.16 | wethrin | Seems rather wasteful |
| 17:55.58 | resuDaed | the 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)) |
| 17:56.38 | resuDaed | running ubuntu and winXP (for playing the occaisional game) |
| 17:56.56 | resuDaed | the dual P3 is running gentoo and doesn't really do much |
| 17:57.12 | resuDaed | the dual ultra 2 I just tur on when it gets cold in my room |
| 17:57.33 | resuDaed | and the ultra 5 holds my monitor up |
| 17:57.48 | wethrin | :) |
| 17:58.14 | resuDaed | and they all get turned off at night (until I fit my wardrobe with sound proofing and air con) |
| 17:58.36 | resuDaed | oh, and the miniITX is a foot rest |
| 17:58.55 | wethrin | Hehe. So you hardly run any of your machines |
| 17:59.40 | resuDaed | not atm, I am on aoHell, so all important internet things are handled by the boxen at home |
| 18:00.49 | resuDaed | not sure what to do with them, except maybe mirror the "server" in enfield |
| 18:00.52 | George | 17:47 <chouimat> i'm currently starting to really get pissed off at the "french people" and those who think they are holier than the pope |
| 18:00.55 | George | :) |
| 18:01.28 | wethrin | Everyone hates the French :) |

| 18:01.51 | George | haha |
| 18:02.34 | wethrin | Eh. Everyone in Canada hates the Quebecois. |
| 18:02.47 | George | :) |
| 18:03.19 | resuDaed | wethrin : can you think of uses for my boxes? |
