14:18.08 | bilarh | i went to a health and safety course yesterday |
14:18.12 | dick_turpin | OK so you made your point I am in fact 268 years old :-P |
14:18.18 | wethrin | you poor fellow |
14:18.21 | bilarh | and oh my effin hell, what a load of bollox h&s is |
14:18.22 | wethrin | (to bilarh) |
14:18.33 | wethrin | Yes, it's mostly common sense |
14:18.39 | bilarh | no, it's worse than that! |
14:18.51 | wethrin | "Do not climb onto office chairs while wearing ice skates" |
14:18.52 | wethrin | Well, DUH |
14:18.56 | dick_turpin | I was waiting for you to say you slipped and broke your leg |
14:19.01 | bilarh | it's like.. you take the good things from common sense, but then you take the points to the extreme and the whole system breaks down |
14:19.40 | wethrin | Yup |
14:19.44 | bilarh | i wonder how the instructor is brave enough to get out of bed in the mornings, because like he was going on we're all going to be crippled by the time we're 50 (unless we die before then) |
14:19.49 | wethrin | indeed |
14:20.21 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Easy seeing as he is probably charging 600 a pop for the course |
14:20.54 | bilarh | example: he was banging on about lifting stuff... and one of us dropped the pen on the floor and he said "ah, i saw you *bend* *down* and pick the pen up, without getting off the chair and bending your knees!!! DID YOU KNOW THAT THAT IS BAD FOR YOUR BACK!?!?!??!" |
14:21.09 | bilarh | seriously, he said we should all get up, and bend down properly to pick up a fecking pen!~ |
14:21.16 | bilarh | or a pint glass on the side of the chair |
14:21.17 | bilarh | fsf |
14:21.30 | bilarh | the worst part was this... he's an ambulance crew trainer |
14:21.58 | wethrin | sigh |
14:21.59 | bilarh | and he mentioned that nowadays they often get problems with people being too heavy, so they need to wait for a second ambulance crew to come to the scene if they need to carry the patient anywhere |
14:22.04 | wethrin | Picking up heavy objects....fair enough |
14:22.12 | bilarh | too heavy > 13 stones |
14:22.51 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Any idea what company he was from? two of our customers are H&S instructors and they go all over the UK |
14:23.17 | bilarh | so i was feeling a bit pissed off already about the sillyness and i asked "so, what do you do if you get to the scene and there's someone having a heart attack and he's a bit heavier than 13 stones... do you still wait even though the patient is almsot sure to die?" |
14:23.25 | bilarh | and you can obviously guess the answer "yes" |
14:23.29 | bilarh | me: "wtf?!" |
14:23.41 | bilarh | him: it's better that the patient dies than you injure yourself |
14:23.55 | bilarh | like what the hell has h&s come to if that's the case!? |
14:24.14 | bilarh | dick_turpin: st johns ambulance... it was only 75 quid a pop for half a day |
14:24.28 | bilarh | i felt like calling him a spineless git |
14:25.13 | dick_turpin | bilarh: I was in St John's when I was a kid, based at New Cross |
14:25.26 | bilarh | dick_turpin: this one was in marelybone |
14:25.45 | bilarh | dick_turpin: i'm sure st johns is not to blame, but this trainer was a complete tool... |
14:26.08 | bilarh | i don't often feel anger towards people i haven't really met before, but dear me, i would have wanted to smack him :) |
14:26.12 | dick_turpin | bilarh: You're very harsh, they do a good job for all the vomit they can get at public events |
14:26.48 | antiphase | They shouldn't do it if they're worried about being injured in the course of saving life |
14:26.59 | bilarh | dick_turpin: he trains nhs crews as well |
14:27.02 | antiphase | Gives a new meaning to "ambulance chaser" |
14:27.15 | boudiccas | i was in st john up till 6 years ago. they gave me a medal for long service, having been in for about 15 years |
14:27.21 | dick_turpin | antiphase: I only did it so I could get into concerts etc for free :) |
14:28.05 | bilarh | oh, and then he said that quite often, him and his chums stand outside the emergency units and laugh at new crews trying to lift a patient in a wheel chair out from the ambulance, as apparently the wheel chair collapses if you lift it in the wrong place (squashing the patient) |
14:28.14 | bilarh | h&s nazi |
14:28.16 | boudiccas | that was a side effect of membership |
14:28.58 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Now thats funny where can I see that? |
14:29.07 | bilarh | like i said, i'm sure most of st johns is good, but this individual certainly sounded like he'd got the idea of h&s the wrong way around |
14:29.16 | bilarh | dick_turpin: yeah but you're a cunt as well ;-) |
14:29.25 | boudiccas | h&s means covering your arse! |
14:29.34 | dick_turpin | bilarh: And your point is? |
14:29.47 | bilarh | dick_turpin: none really, i just haven't said that for a while ;-) |
14:29.59 | bilarh | boudiccas: was it the same in the nhs? |
14:30.50 | bilarh | boudiccas: my grand mother in law was in hospital for a while, and she fell over in the bath room, and the two nurses that were with her would not lift her up (she's about 1m40cm tall and weighs probably less than 45kg)... |
14:30.59 | boudiccas | no, the patient came first and nurses were epected to protect the patient. consequently when a patiuent fell an di ended up underneath him on the ground, the consultant was more concerned about the patient than me |
14:31.08 | bilarh | they stood around until the head nurse walked into the ward and lifted her up by herself |
14:31.57 | bilarh | boudiccas: were you alright in the end? |
14:32.46 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Course he was how could that fat head get damaged? |
14:36.25 | boudiccas | bilarh; yes, i was just winded, the patient was surprised that he fell :)))) |

21:13.16 | eeyore_ | Anyone have any suggestions about the best way to clone a linux install across multiple machines |
21:13.35 | cpufreak | dd |
21:13.38 | wethrin | dd |
21:13.47 | wethrin | dd and netcat, even |
21:13.55 | Discordian | Depends what distro |
21:14.04 | eeyore_ | the current install includes a windows partition I don't want cloned and the necessary grub config to dual boot. |
21:14.14 | eeyore_ | fedora 8 |
21:14.18 | wethrin | dd the partition and partition table |
21:14.33 | Discordian | Then I'd use the kickstart file |
21:14.36 | Discordian | and kickstart |
21:14.57 | eeyore_ | is there anything that is likely to be relatively painless? |
21:15.10 | eeyore_ | even maybe, point and click. |
21:15.11 | eeyore_ | :) |
21:15.19 | wethrin | Ghost |
21:15.31 | hali | kickstart yes |
21:15.43 | hali | or simply dump |
21:15.50 | eeyore_ | any idea if ghost boot disk works okay with linux and grub? |
21:15.51 | wethrin | Linus doesn't like dump |
21:16.10 | hali | boot the slave nodes in single mode from a live cd, partition and do an ssh pipe dump |
21:16.10 | eeyore_ | ie, whether grub would boot afterwards |
21:16.20 | hali | and install grub |
21:16.44 | eeyore_ | my current set up is have 3 dual boot machines with an old copy of fedora on |
21:16.46 | hali | but using kickstart to deploy boxes is probably better, at least if we are talking 2+ machines |
21:17.08 | eeyore_ | and 1 dual boot machine with a fedora 8 install that took me ages to set up. |
21:17.21 | wethrin | hali: Yes, however it does mean you have to run RedHat |
21:17.24 | eeyore_ | that i want to blast onto the old partitions. |
21:17.31 | wethrin | and, frankly, I'd rather cut off my left leg |
21:17.36 | Discordian | Hmmm lots of post install config? |
21:17.41 | eeyore_ | yes |
21:17.45 | eeyore_ | and broken jpackage |
21:18.03 | hali | wethrin: debian supports kickstart |
21:18.14 | hali | wethrin: seed can read kickstart syntax |
21:18.25 | cpufreak | Ubuntu has autoinstall too. |
21:18.26 | hali | but seed is better on debian systems yes |
21:18.40 | Discordian | dump then restore then might be best |
21:20.15 | eeyore_ | ubuntu contains gparted, i wish fedora did that |
21:20.26 | Discordian | ! |
21:20.29 | hali | fdisk is all you need |
21:20.33 | Discordian | Fedora has gparted |
21:21.17 | Discordian | and kparted andf |
21:21.21 | Discordian | qtparted |
21:21.28 | eeyore_ | not in the install disc |
21:21.45 | Discordian | The DVD? |
21:21.47 | eeyore_ | install sequence |
21:21.51 | eeyore_ | i suppose i should say |
21:21.59 | *** join/#gllug curson (n=curzon@79-69-99-250.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com) |
21:22.07 | Discordian | Well no |
21:23.01 | eeyore_ | even after trying gparted and then downloading a newer copy and repartitioning the systme |
21:23.09 | eeyore_ | the fedora DVD crashed during install |
21:23.25 | eeyore_ | Almost enough to make me want to use Ubuntu |
21:23.37 | Discordian | Hmmm F8 worked for me without problems |
21:23.53 | eeyore_ | hardware differs. |
21:23.55 | eeyore_ | :) |
21:24.07 | Discordian | Surely |
21:24.19 | Discordian | This is a feb 2007 vintage laptop |
21:26.17 | eeyore_ | maybe i try ghost, with a test install onto a less important machine |
21:26.32 | eeyore_ | and if that doesn't work i try something harder |
21:26.36 | eeyore_ | when you say use kickstart |
21:26.50 | Discordian | The HAL layer may prove problematic if they differ widely |
21:27.15 | eeyore_ | do you mean actually write the entire script to set up the machine from scratch in a kickstart file, or does kickstart have some cloning feature? |
21:27.41 | Discordian | There will be a kickstart config file in /root |
21:28.02 | eeyore_ | so i still have to do all the stuff post install to configure the machine |
21:28.09 | eeyore_ | which actually is where all the time is :) |
21:28.13 | eeyore_ | so that doesn't help much! |
21:28.16 | Discordian | anaconda-kscffg |
21:28.51 | Discordian | Are the machines identical? |
21:29.00 | eeyore_ | no. |
21:29.12 | Discordian | You've lucked out then |
21:29.13 | eeyore_ | I was going to rely on kudzu and HAL |
21:29.25 | eeyore_ | i've done it before but a long long time ago |
21:29.29 | eeyore_ | and it worked okay |
21:29.32 | Discordian | Then use kickstart |
21:29.48 | eeyore_ | the thing I don't understand is what you mean exactly |
21:29.50 | Discordian | or possibly clone em |
21:29.50 | hali | yes, it works fine without identical machines, X may fuck up but everything else is usualy fine |
21:30.00 | eeyore_ | ok will try ghost |
21:32.22 | eeyore_ | the stuff i want to clone is fixing the broken jpackage dependancies and conf, installing and configuring an alternative java, installing the 32bit wrapper for firefox plugins to get flash working, modifying a bunch of configs, installing a bunch of custom files, tools etc, |
21:32.50 | eeyore_ | using kickstart to that, basically just involves writing a massive script, but if I had a script to automate it all I wouldn't need to clone in the first place. |
21:32.59 | eeyore_ | AFAIK |
21:33.45 | Discordian | If it all just worked TM you'd be out of a job |
21:34.53 | eeyore_ | I see what you are saying, but i'm actually a software developer so the more time I spend on this the less time i'm actually doing my job. |
21:35.05 | wethrin | Make it someone else's problem |
21:35.12 | eeyore_ | :) |
21:35.13 | wethrin | It's why you have a pet sysadmin.... |
21:35.16 | eeyore_ | i like your thinking ;) |
21:35.46 | Discordian | i'd hack up a post install script to run from kickstart |
21:36.23 | eeyore_ | maybe you are right. |
21:36.27 | eeyore_ | though kickstart buys me nothing |
21:36.39 | eeyore_ | apart from less time to see that the script has maybe gone wrong :) |
21:37.11 | eeyore_ | i can see it's useful for massive office deploys where you maintain a lot of custom stuff well. |
21:37.14 | eeyore_ | and maybe have a sysadmin |
21:37.36 | Discordian | Well I've always used it for servers |
21:37.43 | eeyore_ | sounds sensible |
21:37.45 | Discordian | and I am a sysadmin by trade |
21:38.02 | eeyore_ | I always used to ghost windows |
21:38.13 | eeyore_ | but since switching to linux for development/desktops |
21:38.20 | eeyore_ | i don't really have so much faith that it will work |
21:38.35 | Discordian | I've never used ghost |

22:56.17 | antiphase | dd is even more reliable if you can afford the wasted space of storing all of a half-empty disk |

23:04.50 | Ch0Hag | Or is that a GNU extension? |
23:05.08 | wethrin | --posix-me-harder |
23:06.25 | Discordian | Historically tar didn't do special files |
23:06.32 | hali | tar has some "bug", it can't handle fifos or pipes or something like that... something that breaks system cloning |
23:07.04 | Discordian | or ACLs |
23:07.36 | wethrin | yes, but no-one uses those :) |
23:08.23 | hali | what about xattrs? |
23:08.25 | Discordian | or special devices like raw disk or cooked disk nodes |
23:08.27 | hali | not sure if they are supported |
23:09.00 | hali | i guess xattrs are required for selinux use so they must be supported |

23:10.03 | wethrin | Bill H |
23:10.15 | keithlard | that's hard core |
23:10.28 | wethrin | It's a bit weird |
23:11.36 | keithlard | anyone filled out the linux desktop survey? https://www.linux-foundation.org/en/2007ClientSurvey |
23:12.29 | wethrin | Does one have to be running Linux as a desktop system to fill it out? |
23:12.31 | Ch0Hag | Yeah I don't really see the advantage of selinux. |
23:12.49 | wethrin | it gives skript-weenies a hard-on |
23:12.49 | hali | selinux is really *really* good for web services |
23:12.58 | Discordian | Give SELinux a few years |
23:13.05 | Discordian | and it might be usuablwe |
23:13.07 | hali | we have it as a requirement on some internet facing port 80's |
23:13.08 | Discordian | -w |
23:13.13 | Ch0Hag | Hasn't it already had a few years? |
23:13.20 | hali | it is is quite stable and usable |
23:13.31 | hali | but quite annoying to configure for custom setups |
23:13.41 | Discordian | Exactly |
23:13.44 | hali | we mostly use it for mod_proxy and mod_jk setups |
23:13.48 | hali | which works fine |
23:13.49 | keithlard | it's more about your company |
23:14.04 | Discordian | Did gglug have a talk about SELinux? |
23:14.31 | wethrin | If we did, not for a few years |

23:14.56 | Discordian | Not me, I'm a sceptidc |
23:14.58 | Discordian | -d |
23:15.02 | Ch0Hag | So why/how is it good for web servers then? |
23:15.04 | hali | i tried to get selinux working with weblogic once but didn't have enough time to finish it |
23:15.35 | hali | Ch0Hag: you can nip exploits in the ass, even if there is an exploit you can't "do" anything outside the core scope of the application |
23:15.54 | hali | i.e. you cant access files you shouldnt, you can't open sockets etc |
23:16.47 | hali | you can run a 5 year old unpatched phpBB and the only thing they can break is the phpbb app itself, no change of getting any rootkits or wonky processes on the box |
23:16.58 | hali | chance* |
