you alive?
yep
on my iphone out in town atm
i got my VPS last night :D
cool!
awesome beboo i will be around later ifyou need any help :)
hiya BeBoo_ :)
hehe
*hugs*
whats the command to see all the hardware? i think it's lspci on linux
less /var/run/dmesg.boot
that's what I use
pciconf is usueful also
i thought there was a command that listed all the hardware in a tree format
thats it... pciconf
;)
building my kernel :D
w00t
I am re-building my friends vps atm
how do i scroll up when using vnc to console?
Shift+Page Up/Down should do it
well, i don't have a page up/down on my macbook but i usually use Fn+Up to get Page Up... so Shift + Fn + Up but it doesn't work
Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down arrows also seems to scroll, but line-by-line
no luck for me... maybe i'll connect on PC instead
I am testing on a local gnome-terminal though, so it could be different
PC to the rescue!
:)
grr
TightVNC doesn't like me... i type in my port and it chops off the first two number
s
had to turn on scroll lock on PC then up/down
there's some number offsets in some of the VNC clients
some of them use 10 to mean 5910
some of them use 5910 to mean that :)
ah
intersting
hrm de drm
hi hi awyeah
yo.
I guess I should probably update..
to?
I dunno, 4.7, or the current patch level I guess.
none of the problems affects me, but it's there. Shrug.
OpenBSD yeh
yeah.
boop
hmm maybe ill keep my vps afterall
:o
so i didn't get your recycled VPS, IPv6Freely ? lol
?
it was a joke from yesterday
i believe it was RandalSchwartz who said the reason i didn't have my VPS yet was because we were waiting for Garry to recycle yours
lol
oh i must have missed it
oh
and i said i didn't want your broken zfs vps
lol
lol it just needs a restore to "factory default" so i can run it normally without the zfs nonsense
^_^
hi BeBoo_ hows the kernel ?
installed =]
ill still wipe and start again since i want partitions, but ive done that a billion times. I'll just steer way clear of zfs
when are you coming back to BIRC, nesta ?
w00t
oh I have forgot the address
pm it to me
my vps is still active so they havent deleted it yet
so that wasnt that hard
http://scratching.psybermonkey.net/2010/06/freebsd-how-to-format-partition.html
remove slice and index section is exactly what i needed
freebsd is good :)
nice and easy to sort it out when it breaks
yep
yea i just wasnt sure what to google for. thats the hard part, not so much fixing it but finding the correct search terms to get you what you need
yeah indeed
once you get the hang of stuff like that it's all good fun
normally you'll get good help in here
if i hadnt known about gpart i would have never been able to fix it
my help would be: avoid zfs as a root partition ;)
I learned how to encrypt /home last night
that was fun
bob^^: heh thanks :)
nesta: ooh neat
with the geom stuff nesta?
im gonna be installing qemu on my vps :) lol
bob^^: yeah I think so, geli ?
yeah that's it :)
i think it's a geom module... very clever stuff
notice any performance issues?
not so far
awesome
ughhhh qos
I just got a 5500+ line configuration of a Cisco 6509 that I need to decipher and rewrite. Funnnnn.....
hahah
that's quite some config
catos or ios?
IOS
ios <3
Actually I only need to re-write the QoS part, but thats still probably 1000 lines
ugh, qos :(
pita
It wouldn't be so bad if it was a router. I admit, Catalyst QoS is a weak point of mine.
I was just praying that I wouldn't get hit with Catalyst QoS on the CCIE lab.
hehe
Luckily, I didn't get any :)
:D
woot
8.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE #0: Mon Jul 19 02:36:49 UTC 2010
yip
I just finished a fresh one of them for someone earlier :)
up_the_irons: you around for a really quick question?
IPv6Freely: now, do your own kernel ;p
he is concentrating on virtualising juniper berries
I mean routers
:>
mmm berries
encrypting another /home partition now :)
BeBoo_: what for?
?
what do i need my own kernel for?
custom kernels use less mem and resources
good for VPSes so you have more resources at your disposal
I wouldnt know what to remove
i can send you mine, if you want
sure that'd be great
64-bit, right?
yep
I managed to get my kernel conf on my FreeBSD vps down to 90 odd lines
mkdir /root/cvsup
lolz
o_O
do you have the kernel source yet, IPv6Freely ?
i dont
do you have cvsup installed?
as of about 3 seconds ago, yes
you don't need it
uhg
has lots of dependencies
when you build it
:-/
just use csup
i dont build it
eww
bad boy
pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui
done.
oh lord
don't bother, bob^^
don't bother, BeBoo_
why would i build cvsup?
you have a lot to learn about FreeBSD, IPv6Freely
he does not like to fiddle with things, he just wants ZFS and juniper routers in vm's
packages are a no-no in freebsd
(lol)
;)
lol nesta
i dont want zfs no
but yes, i want my olive routers
why are packages a nono?
because it's not built for your system
it's build for some system that *should* work with yours
ive never ever had a problem
i have
never again will i ever use packages
i build things for which i need custom compile options (like Apache for example). Packages for everything else.
I dunno ive been using freebsd for years and never had an issue
w00t another /home encrypted !
:D
woot
hehe it's surpisingly easy
painless rather
If I had a reason to do it I might try
But... look what happened the last time I tried somethig new...
I do things for the knowledge
rarely have a reason
:P
yah
Oh. I don't care abotu knowledge.
your only mistake in my opinion
was giving up
I have more important things to become knowledgeable about, so I'd prefer to just have this work :)
(again, the reason I use OS X)
more important?
oh ta ta
Yes, like things I need for my career.
being on IRC every night one of them?
:)
I could use linux for a desktop and learn how to use linux.... orrrr... I could learn L3VPN in JUNOS. Tough call there...
sounds like something that a lot of different people would have different opinoions on
opinions
I agree.
wait, what's this about juniper?  you can test junos in a vm?
I'm just explaining why I have no desire to learn certain things and prefer them to "just work" so I can spend my time on my own priorities.
mattx86: err. lol
mattx86: this is outdated, but will give you a good start: http://www.3fives.com/juniper-lab-using-olive
Thats how I did my JNCIA, using that lab
soo.. this is free and the real deal?
well its not technically legal
its not much different from using Dynamips to emulate cisco hardware
You dont own the license, and you need your own jinstall
ah
And is obviously worthless for pushing productio traffic
maybe, maybe not.. I wouldn't do it though
heh
looks like fun
:)
I won't be able to run a full lab on my VPS, but i can probably run a couple routers
I would have no interest though, I think
its interesting, i agree
mattx86: if you were doing it on real hardware, maybe. In qemu, not so much.
I have it running on my lab server already ,it just kicks up a lot of heat.
Thats my "blog" btw
IPv6Freely: there's also the virtual network switches and what not in VMware Workstation :)
the Nexus 1000V?
Or the built in crap?
hm?  I meant built-in to VMware
What about them, exactly?
well, you can do virtual networks if I'm not mistaken
The Nexus 1000V is a Cisco product that turns your VMWare switches in to Cisco Nexus switches.
dunno how good of one tho
Sure, but thats worthless for me.
nessus
ah, I didn't know about that either
neat :)
Word.
http://a.imageshack.us/img4/4614/screenshot20091105at115.png
thats my network lab
The server runs a full Juniper lab and a full Cisco lab
mh tom waits
http://a.imageshack.us/img269/4091/screenshot20090924at121.png  and thats my cisco lab topology
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v353/7/22/80403768/n80403768_31174171_594.jpg
and thats the back of the server
BeBoo_: can you pastebin that kernel conf?
you will likely not want to change anything, IPv6Freely
if you are doing this emulation stuff
you might need lots of the options
IPv6Freely: http://beboo.pastebin.com/R87vWy5w
i don't normally touch the options
i just comment out the devices that i don't have/need
well I mean 'options' generally speaking
lol
sorry
:P
my fault
you are correct hehe
IPv6Freely: good grief that's slick... and I thought my setup was awesome
lol
got me my ccie :)
IPv6Freely: I've got a small wooden rack with a router, switch, server, rackmounted power strip and battery backup unit
that's the kind of thing I need to do
but hey, I gotta be going.  bbl
building fire alarms just went off. Oh well, back to my expense report.
does anyone know, to get an OS installed on your vps
is it as simple as finding the .iso
what OS do you want?
not sure
i have a couple choices
i would assume that garry would just need to mount the iso on your vps
what i was thinking also, thanks
well he does not do just *any* iso
I know that he does not do Redhat stuff
or prefers not to
like netbsd
solaris
i may just go back with what i had
freebsd p3
what is freebsd p3
O.o
8.0-p3?
yes
8.1 is out
uh 8.0  p-4 is out too
oh yeah thats right
who wants to stay on 8.0?
lol
onward and upward!
i didnt know they released it
ive been gone a while, last time it was a beta
you can always do bleeding edge and get 9.0-CURRENT
;p
lol nesta, i accidentally did that once... i got the kernel source for 9.0 and build a 9.0 kernel with 8.0 binaries
haha
uilt*
built*
:)
omg
lets just say it didn't boot
yeah I jusrt scrwwed up all that wordfk
I did earlier
uh oh
how?
the one with encrtypted /home
it's gone
destroyed
:-/
i don't mess with that stuff
encryption
eh
oh gosh yeh
never had any luck with it
the encryptiuon was fine
it was MAC/ACL stuff
and permissions
ugh, i gotta get MAC goin
i forgot about that
my script had a bad line in it
you haz script?
lots
:)
hiiii buddddddyyyyyyy
got sick of typing all that crap out
:)
got one for MAC? i don't feel like setting it up
:D
well depends what you wanna do lol
bearing in mind I just destroyed a box with it
lool
mine is fine btw :P
haha
well actually I think it was a permission
not MAC at all
I just spotted the line
the the script
i was planning on this being a personal box and giving out shells to a few friends
yeah after the latest exploit for FreeBSD
the sendfile one
I was like damn
gotta check these permissions
but I messed up one line :-/
it relies on cp /bin/sh /tmp/sh so 511 /bin/sh
is one example
:)
prevents the cp
of course there is a way round it but anyhow that's for another day
no one around at this time usually?
we're around!
cool
yep!
"you got questions, we got answers!"
heheh
someone help me with getting linux compat working? I try using kldload linux and it says kldload: can't load linux: Exec format error
kernel options ;)
i tried putting COMPAT_LINUX in kern conf and it says unknown option COMPAT_LINUX
O.o
hehe
ah, nvm
:)
COMPAT_LINUX32
lol
hehe
I was just trying to get a time estimate (rough) on when my vps could be worked on
have you sent up_the_irons an email?
it's been a day or two on the average, based on recent messages here
nesta: yes I have
I also having problems with my other vps as well
and RandalSchwartz thank you
for giving me a time est.
oh god i must have compiled in an option that included fonts...
taking for fucking ever
... apparently the freebsd handbook... wtf?
a veritable font of knowledge!
echo WITHOUT_X11=yes >>/etc/make.conf
without x, you can't have fonts. :)
RandalSchwartz: too late now!
oy
what is too late?
adding that to make.conf.. because that compile is already finished :P
