09:44.35 | mumper | morning each :) |
09:49.37 | mumper | Any wise words? I have an unexpected/unusual stop to e-mailing out (receiving still OK) with the message "Welcome response error - service not available. Closing transmission channel." Is this through something I've done? (PC running Debian 4). :( |
09:49.52 | wethrin | hello |
09:50.07 | wethrin | outbound firewalling? |
09:51.31 | mumper | Hi Wethrin - greetings and that. Er, I have Firestarter on PC and the built-in firewall on a Belkin router? |
09:52.17 | antiphase | I'd try a manual SMTP transaction |
09:53.11 | mumper | I tried to send myself a message with the same result ... |
09:55.09 | mumper | I recall trying to launch Ekiga yesterday, through a USB-type phone? In the end I "quitted". Any relevance? |
09:58.28 | mumper | I'm thinking of calling my ISP (Demon) and asking if it is them? |
09:59.24 | *** join/#gllug SlayerXP (n=martin@gw-colt.fotango.com) |
10:00.44 | wethrin | So maybe they still have a session open for you? |
10:02.31 | mumper | wethrin: does that mean are demon still talking to me - yes they are because messages are still coming in. Is that a valid answer? |
10:03.27 | wethrin | Not sure |
10:03.30 | mumper | wethrin: thinking on - meaning that a "still-open" session is blocking my outgoing? |
10:03.43 | wethrin | Oh. Sorry. I'm being confused. |
10:03.55 | wethrin | No, outgoing implies there's something else wrong |
10:05.02 | mumper | wethrin: thanks for sharing the confusion :-/ |
10:05.55 | wethrin | any time |
10:06.12 | wethrin | I'd do what antiphase recommended, though - try a manual SMTP transaction |
10:08.34 | mumper | wethrin: I knew this moment was coming - wassat? |
10:10.54 | wethrin | Use the good ol' SMTP protocol to communicate directly with your outgoing mailserver |
10:11.03 | wethrin | That'll give better information as to what's actually going wrong |
10:12.39 | mumper | wethrin: is that, er, em, in a terminal typing in a command to my service provider? |
10:12.44 | antiphase | Yes |
10:12.59 | antiphase | Basic diagnostics, everyone should be made to do it at least once a week |
10:13.51 | mumper | antiphase: this is the first time in my life - can i ask for a leedle bitty more explanation? |
10:14.00 | antiphase | Certainly |
10:14.13 | antiphase | telnet smtp.myisp.com smtp |
10:14.31 | antiphase | You should get a nice banner saying "220 myisp.com SMTP ready" or something like that |
10:15.02 | antiphase | Then you send yourself a mail step by step and see what happens |
10:15.08 | antiphase | HELO mycomputer |
10:15.15 | antiphase | (receive response) |
10:15.27 | antiphase | MAIL FROM: <me@mydomain.com> |
10:15.28 | antiphase | (receive response) |
10:15.40 | antiphase | RCPT TO: <me@somewhere-else.com> |
10:15.41 | antiphase | (receive response) |
10:15.45 | antiphase | DATA |
10:15.55 | antiphase | (receive 354 response) |
10:16.14 | antiphase | Type some shit in, followed by a . alone on a line and carriage return |
10:16.33 | antiphase | IF you get a 4xx or 5xx response at any time, you have failed |
10:17.23 | antiphase | Coming next week from antiphase's protocol academy, HTTP/1.1 for n00bs |
10:18.39 | mumper | I did. Got a read-out: "421 Too many concurrent smtp connections, please try again later" " connection closed by foreign host" |
10:19.01 | antiphase | There you go then |
10:19.19 | antiphase | Your ISP's mail server has reached its connection limit, so you get a 4xx (temporary) failure |
10:19.44 | antiphase | Or they could be greylisting |
10:19.49 | antiphase | Which would make them very gay |
10:20.09 | antiphase | Seems unlikely on an outbound relay though |
10:20.10 | wethrin | Unlikely if it's from within their network |
10:20.17 | antiphase | Snap :) |
10:20.43 | wethrin | So. Here's a paper that should be on everyone's reading list: |
10:20.48 | mumper | antiphase: with thanks for the advice on that - now, is a smackbum call to my service provider in order? |
10:20.50 | wethrin | "Evaluation of the Optimal Cooking Time of Rice by Using FT-NIR Spectroscopy and an Electronic Nose" |
10:21.22 | wethrin | mumper: No - they might just be getting a load of inbound spam |
10:22.23 | mumper | wethrin; so - do nowt until later - after tiffin, say? |
10:23.35 | wethrin | aye |
10:24.06 | mumper | wethrin; - and I'm sure i've seen that paper recommended in the Guardian ... |
10:24.21 | wethrin | Presumably by Marc Abrahams |
10:26.58 | mumper | I now, very regrettably, must go do something sensible. There's a hugely human feeling aboiut dealing with chappies who are technically savvy and irrevocably barmy. Really, you have helped me - and it's been fun, fun, fun. Laters ... |

10:47.25 | dick_turpin | Anyone know how to reset the root password in mysql? I've made a right pigs ear of it. Trying to use this http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html but I must be thick or something |
10:48.05 | wethrin | Yes. You need to stop the mysql daemon, and start it again, telling it to ignore the permissions database |
10:48.26 | dick_turpin | wethrin: I tried that 30 times and nothing happens |
10:48.53 | antiphase | --skip-grant-tables innit? |
10:48.58 | wethrin | something like that |
10:49.21 | antiphase | Then use the client to re-grant the root users permissions |
10:49.32 | antiphase | Or mysqladmin |
10:49.44 | antiphase | or DONT LOSE THE PASSWORD ;) |
10:50.16 | dick_turpin | antiphase: phpMyAdmin is where I got dangerous and *f%&@d* it up |
10:50.52 | dick_turpin | root has no permission to create or change anything |
10:51.24 | antiphase | Yes, so either start the daemon with --skip-grant-tables or put skip-grant-tables in the my.cnf [mysqld] section |
10:51.45 | antiphase | Then reset the root password |
10:51.59 | dick_turpin | antiphase: Ah now we are on to something. |
10:52.49 | dick_turpin | antiphase: Seeing as I've got myself in a paddy fit: I normally do /etc/init.d/mysqld start |
10:53.51 | dick_turpin | antiphase: I've follow the 'links' instructions, where the hell do I put the --skip-grant-tables option? |
10:54.16 | wethrin | Just run "mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables" |
10:54.48 | dick_turpin | wethrin [root@spare ~]# nohup: ignoring input and redirecting stderr to stdout |

10:55.12 | jcookeman | ?? |
10:55.14 | wethrin | Just run "mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables -u root" |
10:55.24 | wethrin | jcookeman: That's the job of the kernel |
10:55.30 | dick_turpin | wethrin: 1 sec |
10:55.39 | jcookeman | yes |
10:55.47 | jcookeman | but I mean to keep it from switching cores/cpus |
10:55.56 | jcookeman | fork() inherits affinity |
10:56.10 | jcookeman | so as the parent of all processes, I want init bound to one core |
10:56.17 | jcookeman | and use the second core for a specific purpose |
10:56.39 | wethrin | don't know if you can do that |
10:56.45 | jcookeman | the problem being right now OS processes are using both cores and causing me valuable context switches |
10:56.51 | jcookeman | wethrin: you can |
10:56.54 | jcookeman | just wondering if someone has |
10:57.01 | *** join/#gllug tripitaka (n=chatzill@83.217.101.115) |
10:57.13 | wethrin | If you're that bothered about context switches, it sounds like you're not using the right OS for the job |
10:57.39 | wethrin | Get thee a single-tasking system! |
10:57.41 | dick_turpin | wethrin: I'm trapped! can type stuff but nothing happens |
10:57.48 | wethrin | Background it |
10:57.51 | wethrin | ^Z |
10:57.52 | wethrin | then |
10:57.52 | wethrin | bg |
10:57.58 | jcookeman | huh? |
10:58.15 | jcookeman | you know how expensive context switches are? |
10:58.18 | jcookeman | all OS's do it |
10:58.27 | wethrin | No they don't |
10:58.28 | wethrin | DOS doesn't |
10:58.40 | dick_turpin | wethrin: 1 sec I think I've stuffed it again |
10:59.15 | dick_turpin | wethrin: Doh ctrl Z |
10:59.16 | antiphase | jcookeman: Use Solaris ;) |
10:59.19 | jcookeman | I am using the right OS because I can bind init to one core and have one specific core available for my process |
10:59.24 | jcookeman | anti: I wish |
10:59.34 | jcookeman | It's easily possible to do this |
10:59.44 | jcookeman | just wondering if any you guys have done it and what your outcome was |
10:59.47 | jcookeman | if it was expected |
10:59.48 | antiphase | If you are losing too much time in context switching, get more CPU power. You don't get owt for nowt :) |
11:00.16 | wethrin | And run fewer processes :) |
11:00.18 | jcookeman | why get more cpu power when I have the latest |
11:00.44 | jcookeman | the fact is, I can easily bind a process to a cpu |
11:00.55 | tripitaka | jcookeman: how do you bind init to one core? </derail> |
11:00.56 | jcookeman | but os processes will inevitably swap that out |
11:01.07 | antiphase | Get more RAM then |
11:01.15 | jcookeman | RAM wont solve the problem |
11:01.23 | antiphase | Or get a better behaved application that isn't so picky |
11:01.23 | jcookeman | context switches are context switches |
11:01.25 | jcookeman | nothing to do with ram |
11:01.38 | jcookeman | it's not the app |
11:01.44 | jcookeman | it's the schedular |
11:01.54 | antiphase | Tried a different one? |
11:02.04 | wethrin | QNX FTW |
11:02.11 | jcookeman | WHY???? |
11:02.24 | jcookeman | I can easily set affinity on init |
11:02.38 | antiphase | I can honestly say I've never had to try anything crazy like that. Are you doing something very specialised? |
11:02.49 | jcookeman | anti: why is it crazy? |
11:06.13 | boudiccas | dick_turpin; is it working now? |
11:06.41 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Is it *B&%$£s* mutter mutter |
11:06.46 | antiphase | I'd regard overriding the OS behaviour as a little presumptious, especially if you don't have 64 cores to play with or something |
11:07.05 | jcookeman | It's not overriding it's behaviour |
11:07.07 | antiphase | Dedicating tasks to CPUs seems unnecessarily restrictive |
11:07.12 | jcookeman | it's just binding init to a specific core |
11:07.51 | jcookeman | and dedicating a huge Java process (that is not thread safe) to a core can prove very substantial in performance gains |
11:07.59 | jcookeman | because JVM context switches are awful expensive |
11:10.07 | antiphase | It still just sounds like you're short of resources. More tin is the coward's way out though, evidently ;) |
11:11.59 | jcookeman | antiphase: dont talk about that which you dont understand |
11:12.21 | antiphase | <--- bovvered |
11:12.39 | jcookeman | I asked a simple question, and since it is out of your realm, then kindly stay out of it rather than make snide comments. |
11:13.26 | antiphase | I suspect you have some sand in your vagina |
11:13.35 | jcookeman | No I think you do |
11:13.59 | jcookeman | I asked an easy question. you dont know the answer. So you hide your ignorance with shitty comments. |

17:23.50 | Leeds | guess I'll be flying BA :-( |
17:25.46 | rhowe | Better than flying mimi airlines |
17:26.33 | Leeds | somehow don't think she'd be able to carry me |
17:26.54 | niv_one_three | could try ELAL.. |
17:26.58 | Leeds | anyway, that booking shall be dealt with on the morrow |
17:27.33 | Leeds | niv_one_three: don't think they have a HK->London flight |
17:27.34 | niv_one_three | connection in IL.. |
17:27.50 | Leeds | expensive |
17:28.23 | niv_one_three | safe |
17:28.41 | Leeds | direct flights are cathay, virgin, ba, qwantas, air new zealand and oasis |
17:28.56 | rhowe | Oasis not got anything cheap? :) |
17:29.06 | Leeds | rhowe: about the same as BA, and given the choice... |
17:30.18 | niv_one_three | how much is it hk->uk? |
17:31.06 | Leeds | return on BA or Oasis is about $8500 at the moment |
17:31.23 | niv_one_three | us$ ?? |
17:31.27 | niv_one_three | wow.. |
17:31.48 | Leeds | HK, of course |
17:32.29 | niv_one_three | ibot change 8500 hkd to usd |
17:32.48 | Leeds | has ibot's currency conversion been fixed yet? |
17:32.54 | Leeds | ibot 8500/7.8 |
17:32.54 | ibot | 1089.74358974359 |
17:33.07 | Leeds | the HKD is pegged to the USD :-) |
17:33.13 | niv_one_three | 1000$ :-( |
17:33.44 | Leeds | it is a 13-hour flight, at a relatively busy time of year, booked relatively late |
17:33.50 | niv_one_three | well at least it includes a meal.. |
17:34.23 | Leeds | anyway, really sleep time now |
17:34.39 | niv_one_three | happy birthday again leeds |
17:34.51 | Leeds | thanks :-) |

20:38.55 | goibhniu | also with all glx stuff disabled |
20:39.00 | clive-h | Running beryl? |
20:39.07 | goibhniu | yep .. but also without |
20:39.14 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: Its your own fault for not smearing the blood of a virgin chicken on it before booting |
20:40.04 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: it's increasingly difficult to find virgin chickens over here |
20:40.24 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: I know I read about you in the papers |

20:42.47 | goibhniu | I chew on their heads until they stop wriggling |
20:44.00 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: That explains it, your at the wrong end, try wringing their necks (I know the mails are cockerals but it don't work as well) |

20:44.50 | antiphase | nvidia drivers are great, I bet your RAM's wanked out |
20:45.27 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: My compiz-fusion is a lot better after the update |
20:48.02 | goibhniu | this is the second machine I've had this with ... a lot of people have this with nvidia |
20:48.11 | goibhniu | not as many as ati apparently |
20:48.32 | goibhniu | nvidia always say .. upgrade your bios and your kernel ... and then they run out of ideas |
20:48.53 | clive-h | I've not tried compiz-fusion yet |
20:49.05 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: I agree with you although, touch wood, I've never had a problem |
20:49.27 | dick_turpin | clive-h: I was tricked into installing it by goibhniu |
20:49.30 | goibhniu | dick_turpin: count your lucky chickens |
20:50.01 | dick_turpin | goibhniu: I've a clutch of virgin ones out back |
20:50.16 | goibhniu | it doesn't seem to be related to compiz/beryl ... this problem |
