is there anyone here that can check the config of a VPS - UUID is 3f6c7160-37f8-012d-083c-525400972102
I can't VNC in even after doing a hard shutdown and a boot. Keep getting a connection refused. Thanks
jwfoxjr: ask up_the_irons
jwfoxjr: does the console work?
fink: I can't get to the console...that's the problem.  I had a media change done from freebsd to ubuntu and it hasn't come up since. Support told me they had to make some changes to the VPS
jwfoxjr: well there's your problem…switching from freebsd to ubuntu ;)
fink: just couldn't get used to all that /usr/local crap LOL!
fink: haven't had enough time to spend learning all the in and outs of freebsd ;)
jwfoxjr: /usr/local is for user installed programs
i find it much easier to deal with, as opposed to ubuntu, which throws everything in /etc and everything is all mixed up
jwfoxjr: man hier will answer your questions
I was just telling my girlfriend, an Ubuntu user, about /usr/local. She thought that was an amazing idea and was annoyed that Ubuntu doesn't do it.
mike-burns: lucky bastard, my gf doesn't use ubuntu
She's still on Slackware?
mike-burns: OS X ;) but i don't mind so much, she's pretty progressive
OS X isn't bad at all.
mike-burns: my wife won't let me get a mac...she says I have to buy her a house first...
They are similar in price.
ha.
I have to buy replacement windows and carpet for our condo before we can sell it...that's really what she means. LOL
what would be great if they could code it into the control panel is a status that whether or not the machine was running
jwfoxjr: i think it is there?
fink: yeah it's on the dashboard
fink: actually no there isn't any kind of indicator...maybe a green or red dot would be all it needs....
jwfoxjr: huh you're right, i thought it used to
wow routing is still completely gimped
?
one of the hops between me and my vps is still dropping packets like crazy
been doing it since yesterday
also adding +80ms of latency more than normal.
mzima?
nope
PCCW Global
63.216.14.157 is the link with like 6% packet loss
and +60-80ms higher than usual
I wish I knew who to call and complain about that to
if I called my ISP the kids in the mexican call center would be confused as hell
dunno, if they're an arp peer you could bug up_the_irons I guess, and he can bitch at them.
if it's just some random router hop, best of luck :P
what do you mean by random router hop?
7002 packets transmitted, 6480 packets received, 7.5% packet loss
whitefang, is it closerto your or arp's side of the network?
i'veactually got about 8% loss to my VPS as well.
its in the middle
and yeah
the loss is up to 8% now
with highs of almost 700ms
  8    14 ms    14 ms    14 ms  VANCBC01GR01.bb.telus.com [154.11.10.10]
  9     *       88 ms    87 ms  ge2-5.br01.sea01.pccwbtn.net [63.216.14.157]
its between there
I'm 15 hops away from my VPS
same thing for me
meh
spikes of 1200ms now
telus and bwwc need to get together and sort themselves out :P
