05:59.14Copegood morning SlayerXP
05:59.35SlayerXPfo sup m'nizzle?
06:03.23LeedsSlayerXP: hello!
06:08.31LeedsI just saw a TV ad for a yo-yo...
06:08.36Leedson google video
06:09.05murbmuch less strange then.
06:09.30Leedswell, it was in a break in the world juggling federation advanced ball competition, which was apaprently shown on ESPN
06:54.35morsingHelp
06:55.02mozratmorning
06:55.06SlayerXPmorsing: you need somebody?
06:55.10SlayerXPand not just anyone?
06:55.19mozratmorsing - how can i be of assistance?
06:55.45morsingCame to work and my IMAP/Squirrelmail is screwed
06:55.49morsingWorked last night :(
06:56.13mozrattry not going to work
06:56.50morsingIf I click on my main INBOX I get the page up fine but if I switch to any other pages I just get a list of "no subject"
06:57.08morsingGllug shows 6 new messages but I just get an empty list
06:57.18morsingSome folders do work though
06:57.35mozratmorsing - i saw something similar when PHP was exceeding its memory limit
06:57.41morsingSome folders just make the main window blank
07:01.12morsingIt does appear that the problem is with folders with more than 2000 or so messages in it
07:01.19morsingWhy has this changed?
07:01.36morsingmozrat: :(
07:02.07mozratDunno - is PHP not freeing up memory? try raising the amount of mem it can use in php.ini
07:02.29morsingmozrat: Something has changed
07:02.32morsingOr broken
07:02.42morsingRaising the memory wont help
07:03.52mozratbut it will confirm the problem
07:05.07morsingI doubled it now and nothing
07:06.37mozratdid you restart apache?
07:08.08morsingThanks
07:08.41Leedsheh, php
07:09.47morsingAnyone use zlib in php.ini?
07:09.56mozratmorsing, i agree it shouldnt happen but i dont know how much memory it takes to cache 2000 mail headers
07:10.33morsingmozrat: I've got folders with more than 9000 messages and it worked fine yesterday
07:10.59mozratmorsing, strange then!
07:11.06mozratHi Leeds
07:11.10morsingLeeds!
07:11.15Leedsafternoon folks :-)
07:11.42mozratLeeds, your bluetooth - youre doing that on Linux? or Mac?
07:12.03Cope---> work
07:12.07Copeback this evening
07:12.21mozratbye cope
07:12.33Leedshave fun
07:12.37Leedsmozrat: Linux, of course
07:13.12mozratLeeds, oh! i tried and gave up on that a while ago
07:13.33mozratwas there much black magic hackery involved?
07:14.21Leedsvery little!  the main hackery is that it's done through a userspace helper, so you need something which can stream whatever audio you want to play to the helper, in a particular format
07:14.55mozratright

07:40.01morsingThe email I open
07:40.18Leedsyou mean in squirrelmail?
07:40.23morsingYes
07:40.30Leedsdamned php thing
07:40.59LeedsGerman/Russian bloke who started here a couple of months ago has just left... for good
07:42.11morsingGood
07:42.22morsingGerman/Russian blokes are no good anyway
07:42.28Leedsmy firefox has been acting really strange here for a few days - need to upgrade and maybe dump my profile - some pages, it just point-blank refuses to render
07:42.49shaibnif a process wont' get killed with kill -9 pid .. what else can i do other then reboot?
07:42.52Leedsnah, he's a nice bloke, and uses Ubuntu...  the issue is that it was pretty unexpected
07:42.57Leedsshaibn: is it in D state?
07:43.16shaibnRN
07:43.52shaibnnice value 19
07:43.57Leedsthings shouldn't be unkillable in RN... what is it?
07:44.03shaibntar
07:44.09Leedson what?
07:44.13shaibnnightly backup
07:44.17shaibnto tape
07:44.47Leedsstrange
07:46.21shaibni do have a fileslog .. which shows what it had done till now...
07:46.35shaibnand it is stuck on an .mdb file ... so it seems.
07:47.15Leedsis it reading anything from the network?
07:47.36shaibni don't know how to check.
07:47.55shaibnthe tape though, isn't processing anything .. (looking that led)
07:49.07Leedsyou are killing as root, I assume?
07:49.30shaibnof course.
07:49.49shaibntried kill pid ; didn't work .. so i tried kill -9 pid ; still no go ...
07:50.27Leedstry "strace -p pid" and see if it's doing anything - but be careful, because that strace could get stuck too
07:51.04shaibnoops :(
07:51.10shaibnthat got stuck too
07:51.16LeedsI did warn you
07:52.02shaibnbut kill -9 killed it....
07:59.30shaibnLeeds, any other thoughts?
08:02.26Leedsblaaaaaaaaah
08:03.25Leedsit's really really not in D state?
08:04.03morsing~seen George

08:05.36morsingI miss hiim :(
08:05.51LeedsI think SlayerXP owes him an apology
08:06.10morsingMmm...
08:06.12SlayerXPyou do?
08:06.27morsingSlayerXP: So do I. And you owe me an apology as well.
08:06.37SlayerXPI do?
08:06.37morsingYes
08:06.57SlayerXPjust remind me why so...
08:13.06SlayerXPi promised i'd look into supporting multiple mail routes today
08:13.15SlayerXPit's just taken me a whole 3 minutes to implement.
08:14.36SlayerXPat least half of the time was spent thinking "it can't be that simple, can it?"
08:15.40Leedsit falls into that nice group of things I consider 'sane' - i.e. they follow the principle of least suprise and the author tends to think like me - or obviously enough better than I do that I am happy to change to think like them :-)
08:16.30SlayerXPthe inbuilt conditional/expansion language syntax is a bit whacky
08:16.38Leedsit is
08:16.43Leedsbut not insanely so
08:17.10SlayerXPno,you can get your head round it after a little while
08:17.40shaibnLeeds, it really really isn't ...

08:17.55Leedsshaibn: is it blocking on something which is?
08:18.37SlayerXPwhy's there an N there?
08:18.53Leedsit's nice
08:19.03SlayerXPyes, that's what I meant.
08:19.29Leedswell... it's there because it's nice...
08:19.33Leedsare you asking why it's nice?
08:19.36SlayerXPindeed.
08:19.47Leedsthat, I have no idea on
08:20.32shaibnlower proiority?
08:20.43SlayerXPshaibn: lowest priority, iirc.
08:20.49shaibnLeeds, i didn't understand your question ...
08:21.03SlayerXPwhich means every little thing that wants the cpu for anything whatsoever will be bumped ahead of it
08:21.12Leedsis the machine heavily loaded?
08:21.23LeedsSlayerXP: everything except the idle loop, right?
08:21.25shaibnLeeds, indeed, during the day.
08:21.31SlayerXPLeeds: yep
08:21.37Leedsis it heavily loaded *now*?
08:21.39SlayerXPor other equal priority tasks
08:22.23shaibnbut ... look at how much CPU it is using... even though it is in nice

08:23.19Leedsand strace didn't connect?
08:23.28shaibnright
08:23.31shaibngot stuck
08:24.11LeedsSlayerXP: even at nice -19, how can a process which is in R state ignore a kill -9 from root?
08:24.20SlayerXPit does?
08:24.24SlayerXPdidn't see that bit
08:24.26Leedsapparently
08:24.51morsingMaybe SlayerXP can kill it with his magic?
08:25.08SlayerXPwell, the "reboot" command will certainly get rid of it
08:25.26SlayerXPmorsing: for what do I owe you an apology?
08:25.34morsingSlayerXP: For being a moroon
08:25.39morsings/moroon/moron/
08:25.49SlayerXPI can't apologise for that
08:25.54morsingSlayerXP: Be nice and no-one leaves here in anger
08:26.33SlayerXPanyone who takes IRC seriously needs to get out more.
08:26.54SlayerXP(I assume you're referring to Master Wright)

08:27.51SlayerXPibot logs
08:27.59ibotapt/ibot/jbot/purl all log to http://ibot.rikers.org/<channelname>/ where channelname is html encoded ie: %23debian | lines that start with a space are not shown | some channels have stats at http://ibot.rikers.org/stats/<channelname>.html.gz, or updated "nightly"
08:28.27shaibnwe are going to reboot the server...

08:29.11Leedsshaibn: as long as you realise that if you don't find out what's causing it, it could come back at any point

08:36.14antiphaseWebmail is for marmite miners
08:39.05SlayerXPhmm, interesting question to debian-users:   Hi, is there command or simple shell script available to find all
08:39.06SlayerXPconfiguration files in /etc-directory which I've edited.
08:39.43LeedsSlayerXP: surely part of the point of using a complex packaging system is to be able to do stuff like that?
08:39.48morsingls
08:39.48SlayerXPyes
08:40.07SlayerXPLeeds: there should be a way of figuring that out
08:40.43wethrinHm. Is George still pissed off?

09:17.24Leedsshaibn: ping, and is the machine rebooted yet?
09:33.57Leedsand there's the official vim7 release announcement
09:43.12Copemorning all
09:45.30CopeHow can ps and top be restricted on a per user basis to show only a subset of processes? ie don't show mbrooks process to sanelson?
09:45.45Cope(I'm assuming they can!)
09:45.51SlayerXPinteresting question
09:45.55SlayerXP(the second today)
09:46.38Leedsthey can, but you're into virtual server land, or possibly some of the more advanced features of things like SELinux
09:47.11Copeyes, sure with virtual servers (which I don't have) and selinux (which I don't have)
09:47.45wethrinalias ps='ps u | grep $USER'
09:48.19cbz\ps
09:48.32Copehmm
09:49.21Leedson a regular system, I don't think it can be done
09:50.54Leedsyou would have to restrict /proc
09:51.29CopeLeeds: hmm
09:52.43SlayerXPwhy do you want to do this?
09:53.08murbCope: you can easily set ulimits in pam.
09:53.50CopeSlayerXP: previous conversation - 3 users on shared platform mustn't see each other's stuff; xen not an option.
09:54.03murbCope: libpam-modules: /etc/security/limits.conf
09:54.17SlayerXPCope: why is them seeing each other's stuff a problem?
09:54.23murbCope: zones? vservers? virtuosso?
09:54.44CopeSlayerXP: security and business reasons
09:54.56murbCope: is this on linux?
09:54.59Copemurb: yep
09:55.19SlayerXPCope: the latter I could accept, the former is not applicable.
09:55.20murband are you permitted to patch the kernel?
09:55.50Copegood question; yes, probably, but with reduced SLA, as it would probably impact redhat support
09:56.31murbCope: the grsecurity patch probably does what you want.
09:56.35CopeSlayerXP: so you think a machine with less information about other user's processes is not more secure?
09:56.50SlayerXPCope: that's security through obscurity.
09:56.57CopeSlayerXP: no it isn't
09:57.04SlayerXPyes, it is :)
09:57.10mozratmorning
09:57.11SlayerXPyou're securing the system by hiding stuff
09:57.16wethrinThere's nothing wrong with obscurity as an extra layer of security. As long as it's not the only one
09:57.23murbas soon as someone becames root, game over.
09:57.27Leedsit depends on if you just hide the processes or actually separate them
09:57.28CopeSlayerXP: yes, ok
09:57.32murbCope:  are you also chrooting users?
09:57.35Copemurb: yes
09:57.48CopeSlayerXP: but that isn't necessarily a bad thing
09:57.51murbCope: look at the vservers patch then.
09:58.08murbalso the openvz stuff
09:58.24murbhttp://openvz.org/
09:58.31CopeSlayerXP: i might keep documents in my house in a safe; it would be even more secure if the safe wasn't visible as soon as you walk into the house.
09:58.43murband http://www.virtuozzo.com/ for commerical supported option.
09:59.22murbCope: it might be better for me for it to be plainly visuable if i don't want someone to hold a gun to my head demanding the location of the safe.
09:59.56murb(i know someone who had something like that happent to them, unforuntly for the robbers and the owner it was the other house that had the floor safe)
09:59.57SlayerXPCope: hardly.  you would be more secure if the safe was on the display, and the documentation (also public) showed showed how the lock worked and why it's not worth the perp's time to try to break it.  also just how many kilo of TNT are required to crack the shell.
10:00.14*** join/#gllug stephanb2 (n=chatzill@64.236.9.165)
10:00.32murbSlayerXP: or how many minutes for an experience safe cracker with all required tools would take to get inside.
10:00.42SlayerXPmurb: *nods*
10:00.56CopeSlayerXP: not sure why that makes it more secure; its a deterrent, but if the safe is sound anyway, we don't care if he has a go.
10:01.04CopeSlayerXP: different sorts of deterrent
10:01.07SlayerXP"this is what it will take to crack my system, I hope it's not worth your effort"  is better security.
10:01.26SlayerXPCope: no safe is secure, it's a matter of degrees of inconvenience.
10:01.34murbSlayerXP: but best that it is also securely anchored, you don't want it removed for an off line attack!
10:01.37CopeSlayerXP: that 1) first find it 2) then see what is needed, and show it isn't worth the effort is even more inconvenient
10:02.15SlayerXPCope: to carry your metaphor, I don't want someone trashing my house to find the one thing I care about.
10:02.30SlayerXP"it's over there, have fun"
10:02.34Copehehe
10:02.47Copeanyway.... off to meeting; back in a bit.

13:05.35morsingWow - George said something to me without swear words in it :)
13:12.37rhowemm, tasty coffee

13:18.17morsingMmm... Coffee
13:18.25morsingz00dax: He's left us for good :(
13:19.16z00daxmorsing: oh! why ?
13:19.33morsingSlayerXP offended him and won't apologise

13:20.54rhowehm, no more Mozilla
13:21.02rhoweOr Firefox 1.0, or Thunderbird 1.0
13:21.09rhoweAnd this is old news...
13:21.28morsingrhowe: Why are you avoiding me?
13:21.44rhowemorsing: I'm not. Come out with me and pdr tonight
13:21.49morsingWhere?
13:21.54rhowemorsing: SE London?
13:21.59morsingHmm...
13:22.03morsingAylesbury?
13:22.13rhoweWasn't really planning to head north of the river..
13:22.18morsingStaines/
13:22.19morsing?
13:22.23rhowe"Here be dragons", it says on my map
13:22.41morsingWhere exactly are you oing then?
13:22.50rhowemozrat: I forget how you pipe stderr, but I know it can be done..
13:23.10rhowemozrat: Hm.. I think we should try the various establishments around my flat
13:24.34rhowe~google pipe stderr bash
13:24.47rhowes/mozrat/morsing/
13:24.48rhowedammit
13:24.53cbzcom1 2>&1| com2
13:25.06cbzredirect 1 after that if you only want stderr
13:25.14rhowecbz: According to the bash man page, that isn't supposed to work, but it does for me
13:25.32cbzThe bash manual page explicitly says it doesn't work?
13:25.59rhowe"This connection is performed before any redirections specified  by  the command (see REDIRECTION below)."
13:26.05rhowehmm.. actually I might be misreading that
13:26.08morsingMozzie: exec 3>&1; grep yyy xxx 2>&1 1>&3 3>&- | sed s/file/foobar/ 1>&2 3>&-
13:26.33morsingcbz: But that's both stdeer and stdin
13:26.49rhoweMaybe it connects prior to the redirection in order that the redirections go via the pipe
13:27.01morsingmozrat?
13:27.09mozratsorry - away for a sec
13:27.14morsingWhat I did above should work
13:29.10cbzcom1 2>&1 1>/dev/null|com2
13:43.41cbzrhowe: Yeah, the pipe is created first with stdout connected to it, and then the redirections are carried out.
13:51.30morsingCheck it!
13:51.38morsingrhowe: Where?
13:53.18rhowemorsing: Hm.. lemme see what the weather thinks it'll do

14:00.21rhowehm, SGI has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection - http://www.sgi.com/company_info/newsroom/press_releases/2006/may/sgi_reorg.html
14:01.39Coperhowe: means nothing; we did that years ago, and are still here, and making stacks of cash.
14:02.19rhoweCope: *nod*. Still, it's a sign that things are most definitely not as they once were
14:02.23Coperhowe: no more mozilla etc? What does this refer to? Old news? new to me! I should keep better informed too!
14:03.55rhoweCope: Yeah, news from the middle of last month. Firefox 1.0.x, Thunderbird 1.0.x and Mozilla Suite 1.7.x are all end of lifed
14:04.20rhoweCope: It also looks like the mozilla packages in Debian are being replaced by xulrunner
14:04.41rhoweCope: Functionally, not a whole lot of change, but I guess it means the code's a little cleaner or something
14:08.29Copeah right;
14:08.38Cope~google xulrunner
14:10.45rhoweCope: xulrunner's something to launch XUL applications (mozilla, firefox, etc)
14:11.12rhoweCope: Probably means that the 'mozilla-bin' binary, the 'firefox-bin' binary, etc all disappear, replaced by a generic 'xulrunner'
14:11.44rhoweCope: With the lovely side effect (I guess) of making these programs difficult to identify in top
14:17.14SlayerXPmmm?
14:19.05SlayerXPsomeone kicked, or something.

14:41.16morsingdselect sucks
14:41.37SlayerXPdselect is quaint, and fortunately deprecated.
14:41.44Copemorsing: dselect is like much of unix - designed for people who read manuals and have a clue - incredibly powerful, not especially friendly.
14:42.21SlayerXPCope: hence gentoo and redhat users don't use it.
14:42.56CopeI remember my first exposure to dselect... I even remember the approximate date and location :)
14:44.14CopeSeptember 2001, Glasgow, setting a bunch of nfs and print servers

15:39.48rhowestephanb2: Briefly.
15:39.57rhowestephanb2: Once I realised I had no idea what I was doing, I stopped

15:40.56rhowestephanb2: I was under the impression that none of it was documented :)
15:41.03stephanb2rhowe: if i understand correctly, it can help get H.323 go through NAT
15:41.10rhowestephanb2: Yes, it can, I think
15:41.22rhowestephanb2: I do know that there's gnugk and openh323gk, and the two are somewhat similar, but somewhat different
15:41.42stephanb2rhowe: i was looking at gnugk
15:41.42rhowestephanb2: IIRC one was very unmaintained, and the other one just unmaintained :)
15:42.32stephanb2rhowe: btw i found a french version of openphone 1.9.1 for win32 on the net, and it seems very well behaved
15:43.03stephanb2rhowe: but there is no way i manage to get any video to work with it, even with the "test pictures" :-(
