07:35.24Leedsmeanwhile, tropical storm Bilis is still forecast to become a typoon and hit Taiwan straight on
07:39.20Leedsalso, Dave Green
07:41.35LeedsDave Green, in fact, pushing creative commons music on BBC radio...
07:43.36morsingLeeds: Who is he?
07:43.47Leedsever come across NTK?
07:43.51morsingNo
07:43.56morsingNKT I have
07:44.03morsingIs that what you mean?
07:44.07Leedswell, he's a well-known tech pundit and journo based in London
07:44.10Leedsno, NTK
07:44.35morsinghttp://www.nktcables.com/
07:44.42Leedsno, NTK
07:45.36LeedsNTK used to be a weekly newsletter of tech/geek stuff, around London where geography mattered... it's become slightly less than fortnightly recents
07:45.37Leedsly
07:50.50cpufreakits become shite too
07:51.15Leedsyes, but it used to be cool
07:52.07LeedsI have met him a few times at various events... he's currently discussing Quake technique
07:53.11cpufreakmy mate used to contribute occasionally to it

07:53.55Leedsah! I've never heard of him
07:54.38morsingAnyone heard from Jason lately?
07:55.04Leedshe did post on the list yesterday, so he's alive
07:55.21morsingMy ADSL line has been down for a week :(
07:55.31Leeds:-(
07:56.18cpufreakyeh, although he's developed a habbit of not emerging from his flat for months

08:24.58mozratheh
08:25.12mozratbut you've known me for about 3 years - why wait until today?
08:25.37Leedsooh, firefox seems to have just gone bang
08:25.42Leedsoh, no
08:29.56morsingStupid Linux weenies
08:30.05Leedswho is?
08:35.20morsingLeeds: Development of nmon analyser has been handed over to someone else apparently
08:35.34morsingI downloaded the latest version, which didn't work
08:35.51morsingTurns out it starts with #!/usr/bin/bash  !!!!!!!!!!!1
08:36.16morsingSorry, it was nmon2csv, not analyser
08:36.47Leedsah, that is a Linux weenie thing, yes
08:37.10morsingTwat, I should really email him or the "owner"
08:37.53winjerthat's not a linux thing surely
08:37.56winjermore likely a bsd thing
08:38.08morsingwinjer: Surely it's a GNU thing!
08:38.12morsingBloddy GNU weenies
08:38.15ErwinCertainly no /usr/bin/bash here.
08:38.17morsingHow's it BSD?!
08:38.26winjerbecause linux puts bash in /bin
08:38.27morsingErwin: On wat?
08:38.34morsingwinjer: BUT IT HAS BASH!
08:38.36ErwinOn GNU/debian GNU/Linux
08:38.39Leedsit's a link to /bin/bash for me
08:38.42winjerbsd would prolly put it in /usr/local/bin
08:38.45winjerto be fair
08:38.49morsingWho cares what it is! It's BASH!
08:38.54winjerso?
08:39.03winjerwhat's wrong with bash?
08:39.14winjeryou would prefer csh?
08:39.24morsingwinjer: So why put Bash in there when the system you're developing it for is unlikely to have it installed?
08:39.35morsingVery unlikely even
08:39.40winjerbecause you like bash?
08:39.50morsingwinjer: Nothing to do with what I like!
08:39.56winjerdid you pay for it?
08:40.05morsingwinjer: It's nmon?!
08:40.30winjeri think that means 'no' then :)
08:40.35morsingWhat's the bloody point of writing it for bash when you know the people downloading it wont have bash installed?
08:40.52winjeri've always had bash installed, even on solaris and hpux
08:41.02winjerone of the first things i set up after installing
08:41.04Leedsbecause bash is better than ksh
08:41.12morsingwinjer: nmon doesn't run on Solaris or HP/UX
08:41.26winjerwell i've never had much to do with aix
08:41.42winjerbut i imagine bash will compile for it
08:41.53morsingLeeds: I assume you don't know ksh very well
08:42.00morsingwinjer: Why would I?
08:42.10winjerlol
08:42.18winjeri don't know
08:42.18morsingThis is not the point anyway
08:42.43morsingWhy do you Linux people always have to turn the discussion into something pointless?
08:42.55winjerit's a conspiracy morsing
08:43.01Leedsmorsing: I've coded in ksh for a living
08:43.02winjerwe all get together and do it to wind you up
08:43.03morsingwinjer: I think you're right
08:43.11morsingLeeds: Good for you
08:43.19LeedsI don't want to do that again
08:43.22winjerin #kernelnewbies right now we're planning our next irritate-morsing attack
08:47.50Leedsso, given the choice between a T2050 (dual-core, 1.6GHz, 533MHz bus, rated at 35W, with hardware virtualisation) and a T2300E (dual-core, 1.66GHz, 677MHz bus, rated at 15W, no hardware virtualisation)...
08:50.04cpufreaksurely it depends on what you want to do.
08:51.03Leedswell, I would generally go for the faster, lower-power one - but I would think there's a good chance I would want to play with Xen, etc. in the near-ish future... so the hardware virtualisation would be important
08:51.17ErwinSure, but only if you want extra performance
08:51.35ErwinI run vmware with Linux/X on a Windows XP machine, 1.5 GHz Pentium M, in 1600x1200 and it's fine.
08:51.36Leedsgrand total of $300 more for the faster one - a little over 20 quid
08:55.03winjeri'm with erwin, i do the same only in reverse
08:55.05Leedsthat's the thing, at the moment I have no need, but I'd imagine I'll want to play... on the other hand, you can always use more cycles, more bus bandwidth and less power usage in a laptop
08:55.08winjerand it works a treat
08:55.41Leedswith dual-core and VT, you should be able to almost partition the machine and simply run two OSs, one on each core
08:55.58winjernah not with dual core
08:56.02winjerthey still share loads of stuff
08:56.13winjerlike cache
08:56.22winjerbut it'll certainly help a bit
08:56.25Leedsthat's the point of combining it with the VT - it's meant to make that sort of thing possible
08:56.43winjeri'll take your word for it
08:56.57*** join/#gllug ynysddu3 (n=donald@rose963.demon.co.uk)
08:57.12Leedsmorning don
08:57.36ynysddu3Morning and a pleasure - how did Bletchley go?
08:57.58LeedsI really couldn't say - it's a bit far from here, so I couldn't make it
08:59.08ynysddu3OK, start again - I'm hoping to save (slowly) dribbles from my pension to en
08:59.24Leedspeople did seem to have a good time though - although it seems that the group didn't exactly stay together...
08:59.27Leedsen?
08:59.44ynysddu3able me to upgrade my graphics card (maybe my sound card too). any advive for thsi long-term project?
09:00.59Leedsonboard sound is absolutely fine nowadays for incidental sound and third-party stuff - there's no point having a sound card in a modern machine unless you want accelerated sound for games, or you're actually making or mixing your own sounds
09:02.07ynysddu3Now that's, for me, a novel idea. I don't need a sound card - is that what you're saying?
09:02.43Leedsit depends on context
09:02.47winjeronboard sound is fine
09:02.49winjerif you have it
09:03.00Leedsyeah
09:03.11winjeryou get some really rather good sound chips on decent motherboards these days
09:03.32Leedsynysddu3: give us more of the story... is this an old machine you are wanting to upgrade in parts?
09:05.39ynysddu3OK, yeah - so do I! Sorry it's the old silly question/answer thing. By the way, please forgive my typing I'm a stroke survivor and my wrists a tad duff, so I take a fair time to create a readable message. Now then, you're all going too fast for me! I'll send this and come back with some answers - I hope!
09:06.03Leedsno worries - take your time...
09:08.00mozratynysddu3: hello there!
09:12.53ynysddu3I got a Hewlett Packard set-up from PC World in midsummer 2004 for use in continuing to produce a community newspaper. Everything went like oiled silk - then I had a stroke and SWMBO stopped the paper, leaving me with great kit for the job but no job! In the end windoze p***ed me off sufficiently for me to dive into Suse last winter and, thanks to much good advice/assistance from GLLUG now have Suse 10.1 running beautifully. But two-dimensionally. My
09:14.22ynysddu3HP Pavilion f175, Nvidia Gforce 4 and 17inch screen, Turboprinting through a canon printer - is that enough?
09:15.37Leedshave you dived inside the machine?
09:16.21ynysddu3Not this one. Frankly, I don't think I'm now capable.
09:16.59Leedsokay... but you want to upgrade the graphics and/or sound?
09:17.48ynysddu3Right. I want to continue many years of community activity - empowered by Linux. There y'are, that's all of it!
09:18.32Leedsso, back to what we were saying - there's not much point buying a sound card, unless you are creating your own audio stuff and you want it as top quality...
09:19.21ynysddu3OK, no I don't. Speech only, really, my damaged hearing doesn't justify greater attention!
09:19.57Leedsoh, I suppose the other reason would be if you were trying to equip your machine for 'home theatre' type stuff and wanted 5.1 output or something
09:19.59Leedsanyway
09:20.58Leedsapart from the fun of spending money on new toys, why do you want to upgrade?  what do you want to get out of it? what do you want to be able to do (or do better/faster/easier) that you can't do now?
09:21.02morsingMmm... email from Jason
09:21.07ynysddu3No, communication. Very hard to quantify: getting people round metaphorical tables, if you like
09:21.51ynysddu3I would like to use all the abilities of installed software - OK?
09:22.34ynysddu3Crikey lad, doesn't this method make for disjointed questions and answers?!!
09:22.52Leedswell, not really - that's a very generic non-answer... particularly on a Linux system which has a good chance of having some *very* random software installed :-)
09:23.14mozratynysddu3: are you thinking about voice over internet type stuff?
09:23.18mozratfree phone calls etc?
09:23.29ynysddu3Apologies - yes, tyhat too.
09:23.39Leedswait... does your current sound card work under Linux?
09:24.09ynysddu3I'm sure it does - once, under suse 10, I had skype actually working!
09:24.31mozratLeeds: ynysddu3 had the rare privilege of actually meeting Henry Gilbert... "in the flesh"
09:25.27Leedsjust got an SMS: "My friend emily is currently singing ur praises..."
09:26.07ynysddu3I must say, My old brain's heavily infected with the printing industry - sound's a bit strange for me - no clues on terms. Yup met Henry ...
09:26.40z00daxah. so Henry actually exists ?
09:27.31ynysddu3Without doubt. A sleep brazilian. Didn't shudder too much over world cup progress!
09:27.55LeedsI'm sorry... Henry is Brazilian?
09:28.15z00daxerr
09:28.47ynysddu3I'm pretty sure, yeah. We (SWMBO) and I got on well enough with him when he visited.
09:29.37Leedsapparently I'm 'so cool, so ace' according to Emily... pity she's getting married next month, really...
09:30.13ynysddu3Not to you, then, Leeds?
09:30.30Leedsunfortunately not :-(  to a bloke called Ian who's a barman or manager or something
09:31.53ynysddu3I tried to relate to SWMBO just what these conversations are like - and failed, Surreal, yeah. Mad, yeah. Addictive, yeah!
09:31.56LeedsI suspect that since Emily and Cathy (who's been sending me the messages) are both teachers, starting their summer holiday this week, they are probably having a nice relaxed afternoon combined with some intoxicating beverages
09:32.25Leedsand there's the hometime bell!
09:33.16morsingOdd... Does procmail have a 50MB folder limit?
09:33.38Leedsmorsing: no, absolutely not - it'll quite happily handle mailboxes up to at least 2 gig
09:34.06morsingLeeds: Suddenly all mails from a list I'm on started arriving in my inbox

10:00.45mozratmorsing: I have done in the past - whats up?
10:02.24morsingmozrat: Do they all have ADSL ports?
10:02.29morsingOr only certain models?

10:03.05haliplugin module
10:05.05morsingAhh... Hmm...
10:05.46cpufreakyou proably want a WIC1-ADSL
10:05.54cpufreakcan be picked up for under 100quid on ebay
10:06.25morsingHa ha
10:06.27cpufreakCisco's ADSL2+ WICs don't work with ADSL2+ in the UK, or didn't last time I checked

10:07.19cpufreakit should do
10:07.23cpufreakif you can put enough ram and flash in it
10:07.29morsingWhy does he say "NOT 1721"?
10:07.38cpufreakand find an appropriate IOS :)
10:07.51cpufreakbecause he wants people searching for cisco 1721 to find that too
10:08.09morsingBut is says it's got ISDN module but not ADSL?
10:08.16cpufreakyes
10:08.19cpufreakso get a wic1-adsl for it
10:08.23morsing12.4 is fine!
10:08.23cpufreakand sell the wic-1br
10:08.29morsingToo expensive
10:08.42cpufreakwell it depends on whether that 12.4 contains the right featureset
10:08.58cpufreakmorsing: can you plug an ISDN T/A into an ADSL line and expect it to work?
10:09.00cpufreakthe answer is no
10:09.07cpufreaksame thing applies to whether that would work out of the box

10:12.53wethrinhello
10:13.31morsingwethrin!
10:13.44morsingIs there any way to get mii-tool to print the actual speed?
10:14.17wethrinno idea
10:14.34cpufreak$define actual speed?
10:15.18wethrinFTP a file. See waht speed you get :)
10:15.42cpufreakuse time + du, and bc to work it out?
10:15.48cpufreakor use an ftp client which report its
10:16.00cpufreakor graph your switch port
10:16.05morsingwethrin: One way I get about 1MB/s,  the other way it just stalls
10:16.13cpufreakusing mrtg or similar
10:16.30morsingcpufreak: Right!
10:16.45morsingwethrin?
10:17.16cpufreakor if you want to know whats happening on the host, iptraf gives relatively real time stats
10:17.48wethrin"one way"?
10:18.02morsingwethrin: scp to the host stalls completely
10:18.10cpufreakeither way mii-tool isn't the correct hammer/tool you're looking for
10:18.15morsingFrom the host I get the equivalent of a 10Mb/s card
10:18.31morsingcpufreak: It should be
10:18.37cpufreakwhy should it be?
10:18.44cpufreakits for monitiroing link status
10:19.00morsingcpufreak: Exactly!
10:19.07cpufreaknot throughput
10:19.20morsingcpufreak: I'm NOT asking about throughput!!!
10:19.23morsingWETHRIN! STAY!
10:19.39cpufreakwell you want to know whats happening when you're scp-ing data
10:19.43cpufreakfrom one host to another
10:19.52cpufreakand its stalling
10:20.07cpufreakfrom my understanding of what you're saying, it is the incorrect tool to use.
10:20.31morsingcpufreak: You're not understanding it correctly then. Do you have any real life network experience?
10:20.49cpufreakI wouldn't say I'm completely incompetent.
10:21.15morsingThe link is should classic signs of one end running half-duplex, the other full-duplex
10:21.27morsingmii-tool should definately should if that is the case
10:21.30cpufreakwell
10:21.37cpufreaka better bet
10:21.41cpufreakis to look at the output from netstat -i
10:21.58cpufreakyou were seeming to be wanting to know what the speed of the transfer, or at least that is what you were asking about
10:22.23cpufreakyou weren't asking about how best to find signs of a problem at least from the bits of what you wrote, that I read
10:22.29morsingcpufreak: No, I was asking what speed the port was set/autonegotiated to
10:22.45cpufreakoh wait
10:22.47cpufreakI misread
10:22.53cpufreak11:15 < wethrin> FTP a file. See waht speed you get :)
10:22.56morsingnetstat -i looks fine
10:22.56cpufreakas being somerhting you said
10:23.05cpufreakthinking you were responding to
10:23.14cpufreak11:14 < cpufreak> $define actual speed?
10:23.41cpufreakis the switch reporting any errors on either hosts interface?
10:23.55cpufreakmorsing: on both hosts?
10:23.59morsingcpufreak: No - no errors or dropped packets
10:24.06cpufreakany deferred packets?
10:24.11morsingcpufreak: It's only to/from this host
10:24.22morsingcpufreak: No - only 'ok' packets
10:24.34cpufreakthere used to be an interesting bug on ciscos, where if you forced full duplex on both ends, they'd defer packets when a port was busy
10:24.44cpufreakbut if you left it to autoneg they'd be fine
10:24.44morsingAhh...
10:24.45z00daxcpufreak: why not ?
10:24.52cpufreakz00dax: why not what?
10:25.11z00daxdamn, wrong window - and tab completion :)
10:25.14cpufreaklol
10:25.34cpufreakmorsing: are you autonegociating, or forcing full duplex?
10:27.53cpufreakmorsing: can you try pinging with say a packet size of 1024bytes from one host ot the other
10:28.07cpufreakand run tcpdump on the other host
10:28.21cpufreakto see whats happening
10:28.31morsingcpufreak: auto and every so ping returns "Bad Checksum"
10:29.04cpufreakwhat make/model si the siwtch
10:29.10morsingDon't know
10:29.28cpufreakso how do you know the switch isn't reporitng any errors?
10:30.02morsingcpufreak: Network team told me. This is a company
10:30.23cpufreakoh ok, I wondered if you'd tacacs access or something
10:30.34morsingibot tacacs
10:30.37ibothmm... tacacs is a freely distributable daemon from Cisco Systems. It is used in conjunction with Cisco routers for authorization, authentication, and accounting services.

10:31.00cpufreakmost companies I've worked for have been able to give the sysadmin teams some level of access to switches, so they can debug erorrs themselves, to save bugging networks continually.

10:36.49z00daxmost unix admins' i've known are fairly well clued' up about networking
10:37.22z00daxi mean, exactly what are you going to admin if you are clueless about networking
