02:19.51Zelutthrock: transmission
02:46.14throckZelut: So if I check my system processes I should see transmission in there right?  (I'm currently downloading via bittorrent)
02:46.54throckhuh - it looks like I'm actually still using gnome-btdownload.
02:48.55throckI suppose it did that because of my preferences in firefox.  Since I upgraded from Gutsy.
03:21.33*** join/#ubuntu-us-ut linuxalien (i=UNKNOWN@oalug/member/linuxalien)
03:27.43throckexcellent - simply removing gnome-btdownload made transmission the default bittorrent client.

05:11.21sontekwe had moved all my servers into our bedroom while a friend was staying with us (our guest bedroom roof started leaking so we moved him into the office)

13:14.30penosontek: you're a slacker!
13:22.50herlopeno: don't call Heartsbane a slacker 6 times in one phone call, he gets annoyed with you :)
13:23.07penoherlo: what about 7 times?
13:23.29penomakes it a point to call hearts a slacker 7 times.
13:33.48herlopeno: unknown
13:34.04herloI only did it 6 times, I'll have to try it once more next time I see him :)
13:38.18penoherlo: it may backfire completely
13:47.27herloI know!
13:51.21penoit may cost you a drink or two
13:53.10herloprobably :)
13:53.59herloI don't mind buying beer here and there :)
13:55.01penohehe.
13:58.09herlopeno: if you came out with us one night, you might find this out :->
13:58.23penoherlo: but that means going outside!
13:58.35penoherlo: usually when the daystar is out!

15:38.13HundingZelut: I wish that were true, unfortunatly I have a customer that requires a fax server and I have been unsuccesful in actually getting hylafax to work. I can buy a "turn key hylafax server
15:38.33sontekWe run hylafax here, what are you having trouble with?
15:38.34Hundingfor <$600, but it runs CentOS
15:39.00sontekwe are using 2 old pentium 3 servers with Ubuntu Dapper (I believe, haven't looked at them in awhile)
15:39.03Hundingsontek: wanna make some money? Set me up a hylafax server
15:39.25sontekI don't need money :)  I can give you our configs and answer questions
15:39.40HundingI'll pay someone $500 to setup the server
15:39.43throcksontek: are you using dedicated fax boards?  And if so, which ones?
15:40.19sontekthrock: we are just using hardware modems
15:40.28sontekthrock: Our phone system load balances it between the 8 cards
15:40.41sontekHunding: well, if you want to pay someone, I can set it up for ya, do you have the hardware?
15:40.48sontekHunding: but i'm willing to just help you through it
15:41.10Hundingsontek: I will get the hardware over to you :)
15:42.41throcksontek:  I'm guessing it works really well.  What issues have you seen with hylafax?  The reason I ask is I used to maintain about 15 fax servers, all running Omtool Genifax with Brooktrout cards.  That software is a pita.
15:43.39sontekI haven't had any issues with it at all, we have it setup to save the image to a network share, e-mail it to our fax e-mail address, and print out a copy
15:43.55sontekI've been very happy with hylafx
15:44.54xfrogman5Have you every used Asterisk?  It's for VoIP and it has fax capability.
15:45.25throckthat's pretty much exactly what my fax systems did.  But there were so many issues (still are, I've just changed jobs) that the reliability just wasn't there.
15:45.58throckxfrogman5: I haven't used Asterisk.  It's one of those things I REALLY want to learn, but I don't have a clue where to start.
15:46.22sontekvoip + fax = failure
15:47.13throckAs I understand it, Asterisk will do VOIP, but it will also do regular telephone lines too.
15:47.56xfrogman5Here's the feature set: http://www.asterisk.org/support/features

17:51.50herlothis makes me sad :( --> http://tinyurl.com/56ry36
17:54.16Zelutherlo: +1 to that.  I'm likely going to get rid of my OLPC actually
17:55.51Zelutthis is pretty cool - http://fosswire.com/2008/04/22/ubuntu-cheat-sheet/
18:04.00findlayherlo: doesn't matter.  FLOSS is way bigger than Negroponte
18:04.31findlayit can't be stopped :-)
18:06.27herloZelut: if you don't want your OLPC, I might consider purchasing it from you
18:11.43Zelutherlo: I might consider selling it to you
18:19.07herloZelut: k
18:22.25synicZelut: for you.  http://penny-arcade.com/comic/
18:22.50herloboth intel and M$ want a piece of the OLPC because they *know* that if it gets into the hands of the 3rd world, they can dominate that world with their b0rkened software
18:23.41findlayI'm willing to trust the invisible hand
18:24.39findlayif not at then least I can still use my software in the way I want while everybody else is too afraid to abandon their pile of proprietary bondage
18:25.06findlayherlo: M$ must have it's own kind of RDF :)
18:25.20herlosomething
18:26.28findlaymy old roomate--who is tradtionally very open minded and liberal--did an internship there a couple of years ago and he came back with some of the common symptoms of M$ fanboyism
18:26.50findlayit took months for his views to moderate :)
18:31.08herlofindlay: you were beating Open Source into him every day until he conceded correct?
18:31.39herlos/ed /ed, /
18:33.59findlayherlo: insinuating as much propaganda as I could at every opportunity :)

20:56.16tristanbob_wonders where the parking is in an IRC channel...
20:57.03herlotristanbob_: in reference to your FTW comment above silly
20:59.12tristanbob_herlo, yes, it must be in #ubuntu-release-party-parking

22:57.03bigfoxYour right, some of my more obscure firefox plugins stopped working.
22:57.33*** join/#ubuntu-us-ut Gat1 (n=gate@144.38.132.109)
23:01.50bigfoxI will have to wait until those plugins are updated.

23:03.03bigfoxAs long as NoScript works, then I am a happy camper.  It works perfectly.
23:04.42tapH20guruI can't find a good rundown of the pros / cons of openvz vs xen vs KVM... any ideas?
23:05.00tapH20guruKVM is out if my CPU isn't up to snuff right?
23:10.13Heartsbanehas done anything other than VMware.
23:10.34jnbek<<----- Virtual Box user
23:12.06bigfoxVirtual box will work if your CPU doesn't have vitalization extensions, it will just be much slower.
23:12.21tapH20guruit'll be for web hosting so VirtualBox won't really work
23:12.30*** part/#ubuntu-us-ut Gate (n=gate@unaffiliated/gate)
23:12.53bigfoxOh.
23:13.33tapH20guruI'm looking for the speed of xen or openvz
23:14.21bigfoxVMware existed before CPU visualization extensions existed, so it may work.
23:31.34encryptztapH20guru: kvm with libvirtd and virt-manager
23:32.11encryptzwith virt-manager, you can specify whether or not to do full virtualization (supported by the cpu) or paravirtualization (*any* cpu)
23:32.48encryptzkvm is considerably better than xen, in many regards, and virtual box is annoying with it's FOSS/proprietary licensing garbage
23:33.21encryptzopenvz is rock-solid, but no gui, and you have to boot into another kernel just like xen
23:33.31encryptzkvm, just load a kernel module, and you're set

23:39.05bigfoxYes, it is jbot
23:50.49tapH20guruhmm.. thanks Aaron
23:51.19*** part/#ubuntu-us-ut bigfox (n=bigfox@ecelab24.ece.utah.edu)
23:51.36findlaythrock: you're right.  Network manager is way better than both wifi radar and whatever app they had with xandros on this thing, except it only works as root on debian :/
