10:57.49 | bilarh | mind, i don't use it for time tracking, just for keeping notes about current tasks |
10:57.57 | bilarh | instead of writing it all down on paper |
10:58.13 | goibhniu | bilarh: I was just about to hug you and everything :( |
10:58.28 | bilarh | dang :( |
10:58.33 | goibhniu | I'd really like all that reporting jazz |
10:58.56 | goibhniu | I want to punch in and punch out ... and exporting to invoices would be nice |
10:59.34 | bilarh | ah, yeah but i think it does stuff like that doesn't it? |
10:59.46 | bilarh | don't know how good it is for that though because i don't use those functions |
10:59.55 | bilarh | tbh, it's a little bit buggy, but it does what i want |
11:00.00 | goibhniu | bilarh: cool ... I'll have a look, I haven't tried |
11:00.18 | goibhniu | is it maintained? |
11:00.21 | bilarh | the best bit is that i don't have to save my notes, as it's all done automagically for me |
11:00.24 | bilarh | dont know :) |
11:01.00 | bilarh | latest release in sept 2005, so it seems it's not :) |
11:01.16 | goibhniu | ahh ... it's the same thing :D |

11:53.44 | bilarh | ffs. sometimes i get really fed up with linux |
11:53.45 | catalyst | goibhniu: that sounds entirely unlike gentoo |
11:53.56 | bilarh | bloody thing always messes me around with the ordering of NIC's |
11:54.07 | bilarh | it's one for PXE and a completely different order once linux has booted |
11:54.27 | bilarh | bring back bsd style network interface names :) |
11:55.20 | hali | i'd prefer device location names |
11:55.31 | hali | like you have for luns/disks in solaris |
11:55.39 | hali | c5t2d0s1 etc |
11:55.49 | goibhniu | catalyst: do you know how to request a package be added to the tree? |
11:56.14 | catalyst | goibhniu: got no idea, I assume there are maintainers for that sort of thing though |
11:56.41 | catalyst | I stopped using gentoo a while ago when I got bored of waiting for things to compile :) |
11:57.29 | wethrin_ | hello |
11:57.29 | hali | bilarh: you can hard code ethernet ordering with kernel parameters if you _really_ want to make sure though |
11:58.09 | goibhniu | catalyst: me too .. then I got a new machine :D ... I find it's very easy to maintain .. my other systems are ubuntu which I find quite fiddly (ironically I guess) |
11:58.28 | catalyst | heh :) |
11:59.08 | bilarh | hali: yeah that would be cool too |
11:59.46 | hali | something like, c0p1v1 ... controller 0, port 1, vlan 1 |
12:00.28 | bilarh | hrm. |
12:00.49 | bilarh | i think something that maps to the actual bus it's connected to |
12:01.10 | bilarh | like four port pci nic in slot 2 could be |
12:01.22 | bilarh | nic2.0, nic2.1 etc |
12:01.36 | bilarh | because that way it's always constant |
12:01.57 | antiphase | udev |
12:02.31 | bilarh | does that actually have constant names? |
12:05.06 | antiphase | You can create rules that make it do things I believe. I haven't ever needed to myself though |

12:10.31 | hali | yes, udev can use the iftab_helper thing to assign consistant names, but that's not available when installing ... |
12:11.15 | hali | it uses /etc/iftab with entries like "eth0 mac 00:c0:ff:ee:00:00" |
12:12.12 | phearless | hello folks |
12:15.35 | antiphase | Non-availability while installing seems a bit nit picky to me. I quite often find myself next to the machine in question when installing the OS |
12:15.56 | antiphase | If you use the BIOS to assign resources, you might find it fixes itself anyway |
12:17.54 | spungles | of course you could just trunk all the vlans a host needs to all it's eth port |
12:18.07 | spungles | thereby not bothering with port/vlan shite |
12:55.37 | bilarh | well, the problem is that if you have a number of network cards in the box |
12:55.48 | bilarh | when you pxe boot, it will try to boot from the first netwrok device |
12:56.03 | bilarh | but when linux comes up, there's no good way to determine what that network device was |
12:56.11 | bilarh | as it may be anything from eth0 to eth5 in my case |
12:56.18 | bilarh | so it stops kickstart working |

14:04.37 | bilarh | and now it's installing loads of crap |

14:41.02 | tripitaka | me too, sometimes, good system |
14:41.19 | tripitaka | got tired of fedora updates breaking things |
14:41.54 | boudiccas | i think they've shot themsleves in the foot though, by saying that beta 5 would be out by the end of january |
14:41.56 | tripitaka | there's no centos 5beta yet |
14:42.02 | trousers_ | Big Debian updates always seemed to break things for me, too |
14:42.32 | boudiccas | here we are at the end of january and no beta 5 publicly released |
14:43.00 | boudiccas | i phrase it like that because karanbir has been running the beta 5 for some time |
14:43.21 | tripitaka | it's on the normal RHN download page, at the bottom, just below RHEL2 |
14:43.50 | boudiccas | i'm sticking with centos because it just works so well |

14:45.28 | boudiccas | it surprises me how long i've been running it with no real problems caused by it |
14:45.41 | trousers_ | SlayerXP: Admittedly I only ran it a bit, but I personally stumbled upon almost nothing bad with it |
14:45.56 | tripitaka | update stability is good too for RHEL/centos |
14:45.58 | boudiccas | whatever i sling at it, it either works or it doesn't and if it doesn't then i just live with it and move on |
14:46.19 | trousers_ | A bit general :S |

14:49.10 | trousers_ | I'm Googling... Give me a second |

14:55.52 | clive-h | errrk |
14:55.57 | clive-h | I dunno then |
14:56.21 | clive-h | What does the nagios log file say |
14:57.55 | dick_turpin | clive-h: Wow I'm an idiot messing with 'Big Boys' toys I'll have to find it. I was wondering if the rpm created default .cfg files which are in a differnt location but I cant find any |
14:58.39 | tripitaka | probably veni vidi vici - the -i usually indicates first person perfect |
14:59.44 | tripitaka | disk_turpin: strace nagiosd and -HUP it, you'll see what config files it opens to reread |
15:00.10 | dick_turpin | tripitaka: OK I'll give it a go |
15:01.16 | clive-h | I think it uses files in /etc/nagios |

15:30.12 | bilarh | http://www.x-rates.com/d/USD/GBP/graph120.html |
15:30.21 | wethrin | Yes. EUR always been around 1.50 :) |
15:30.39 | murb | that was just due to the recent interst rate rises in .uk |
15:30.51 | murb | it was more like 1.53 at one point |
15:30.55 | murb | recently. |
15:31.05 | wethrin | When the Euro was first introduced, it was about 1.30-1.40, wasn't it? |
15:31.14 | wethrin | But then settled around 1.50, give or take a bit |

15:32.53 | bilarh | from that one it seems like the pound is slowly getting stronger against the euro |
15:32.57 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: I logged on to #nagios but was too scared to say anything just slunk around in the corner |
15:33.01 | bilarh | although yeah, not huge variations :) |
15:34.05 | wethrin | Not particularly huge. Not compared to the USD in a similar timeframe :) |
15:34.18 | bilarh | true |
15:34.28 | bilarh | but even against the swiss franc it's up |
15:34.49 | wethrin | Yeah. But the biggest thing is the Dollar getting weaker, rather than the pound getting stronger |
15:35.09 | bilarh | but it's become stronger against all other currencies too :) |
15:35.14 | bilarh | so the pound is getting stronger |
15:35.18 | bilarh | for some bizarre reason |
15:35.32 | bilarh | well, bizarre to me :) |
15:35.38 | wethrin | We have a good thing going here :) |

15:35.53 | bilarh | run-away inflation |
15:36.05 | wethrin | Inflation's not runaway |
15:36.07 | bilarh | the real shocker is the m4 growth rate, i think |
15:36.29 | bilarh | well, not according to gordon browns cpi basket maybe |
15:36.32 | bilarh | but the rpi is |
15:36.44 | wethrin | 3% isn't high :) |
15:37.07 | bilarh | 3% cpi is at the upper end of the 2% target rate |

15:37.19 | wethrin | Targets are very artificial :) |
15:37.21 | bilarh | it's only 3% because it doesn't include things that actually increase in price |
15:37.24 | wethrin | There were worse times |
15:37.29 | boudiccas | dick_turpin; ask your questions, they'll have got a much better knowledge of nagois than you have. everyone is a newbie somewhere |
15:37.43 | bilarh | i'm sure there was, but that doesn't mean that 4-5% inflation is good :) |
15:37.55 | bilarh | for one, it makes you 5% poorer every year |
15:38.09 | bilarh | but then, i think it's significantly higher than 5% anyway |
15:38.19 | bilarh | m4 growth used to be the measure of inflation |
15:38.29 | bilarh | and all that extra money has to go somewhere |
15:38.47 | wethrin | Not really :) You get your salary increased |
15:38.48 | boudiccas | what is 'm4 growth'? |
15:38.49 | bilarh | but unfortunately the BOE aren't increasing rates fast enough |
15:38.55 | bilarh | m4 = broad money |
15:39.04 | bilarh | so m4 growth is the increase in the money supply |
15:39.07 | wethrin | My studentship went up by 2.5% since last year. |
15:39.38 | bilarh | great, so you're losing out then :) |
15:39.38 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Okey it was nice knowing everyone I shall now go and get slaughtered on #nagios |
15:39.38 | boudiccas | dick_turpin; enjoy :) |
15:40.02 | wethrin | bilarh: A little bit, yes, but not 5% :) |
15:40.33 | bilarh | well, it all depends on what you think inflation is, i guess :) |

15:48.35 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Mine is working thats whats really stupid. I just don't know how, its voodoo gone wild |
15:49.15 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: how frustrating! |
15:51.24 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: You have to create some files then put the directives in, I created the files but did'nt put anything in them I then (coz I cant wait) started nagios and logged in via the browser and blow me down its up and running! |
15:51.40 | goibhniu | how shit! |
15:52.39 | goibhniu | I'd uninstall that straight away ... it's a bad omen |
15:53.38 | goibhniu | maybe it did something like ... cp /usr/share/doc/nagios-core-1.4.1/sample-configs/* /etc/nagios/ |
15:53.48 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Actually its a pretty cool management app I'd like to add some other clients and printers to monitor but now am unsure wher to put the details if its not falling over at the empty files |
15:54.51 | goibhniu | yeah, it does look cool |

16:36.59 | bilarh | cheers |
16:37.07 | wethrin | There's an option to change the reserved space |
16:37.12 | morsing | MWAAHAHAHHAHHHHHTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY |
16:37.28 | wethrin | But, really, you ought to be looking at a larger filesystem :) |
16:37.29 | bilarh | morsing: huh? :) |
16:37.45 | morsing | bilarh: Lost it there for a sec ;-) |
16:37.49 | bilarh | wethrin: 811G 116M 769G 1% /var |
16:37.57 | bilarh | is that not big enough :( |
16:38.36 | wethrin | Oh....thought your FS was full already |
16:38.44 | bilarh | nah, it's a new box :) |
16:39.52 | wethrin | ahhh :) |
16:40.18 | wethrin | Filesystems don't like being too full, though - if it's /var, I'd still leave a bit of reserved space on it |
16:41.29 | bilarh | but that's like 42gigs :) |
16:41.32 | bilarh | oh well, never mind |
16:41.35 | Leeds | could be worse... jffs2 used to easily get into full situations where it got stuck - you couldn't delete anything |
16:41.48 | bilarh | hehe, nice |
16:42.34 | wethrin | So knock it down to 1% reserved :) |
16:42.43 | Leeds | was also hard to predict when it would happen, since it was transparently compressing stuff... so you could fit more in the filesystem if it was the sort of data which compresses well |
16:42.45 | bilarh | yeah might do that |
16:42.59 | n3llyb0y | speaking of filesystems - has anyone had any bad experiences with XFS? |

16:55.21 | wethrin | If you're lucky, Alt-N does the same thing |
16:55.36 | wethrin | (it doesn't always work for me, hence I use ESC) |
