[00:08] <up_the_irons> It's definitely appropriate
[07:58] <brycec> It's never inappropriate >.>

[07:59] <brycec> Using the serial console? :P  "I don't know how I would get to the console for that though."
[08:40] <RandalSchwartz> Yeah, I don't know anything about how to do that.
[08:43] <brycec> ipmitool -I lanplus -L OPERATOR -H $IP -U calyptix -E sol activate 1
[08:43] <brycec> well, use your username too *oops*
[08:43] <brycec> Don't use mine, it probably won't work :p
[08:45] <RandalSchwartz> doesn't that have to be enabled in freebsd?
[08:45] <RandalSchwartz> or is it always present when booting?
[08:47] <brycec> Configuring your OS is an exercise left to the reader.
[08:47] <brycec> i.e. I don't know what FreeBSD does, I run something else on my dedi.
[09:01] <RandalSchwartz> Yeah... I seem to recall that you have to do something during installation to enable the serial console

[14:04] *** caseyandgina has joined #arpnetworks
[14:10] <caseyandgina> Is there a way for me to rename my VPS's?  Change the names to something more useful than e.g. caseyandgina-543bca?
[14:10] *** awyeah is now known as awyeah-afk
[14:16] <mkb> in the portal somewhere you can set a service label I think it's called
[14:20] <caseyandgina> yeah, I did that, and it shows up after the other name and a comma.
[14:20] <caseyandgina> but what is that other name?  It's not the UUID...
[14:21] <mkb> I assume it's some internal identifier
[14:21] <caseyandgina> also when it comes to Service Names, it also adds a suffix only there - but how to change the seemingly hardcoded "Generic VM" or "Debian 8.0 VPS" strings?
[14:22] <mkb> I'm sure up_the_irons finds it useful for the identifiers to come with the customer name...
[14:22] <mkb> email support@arpnetworks.com.
[14:22] <caseyandgina> nah
[14:22] <mkb> I'm not sure what goes into that but I do know they are configured differently depending on the OS
[14:23] <mkb> so if you change the OS
[14:23] <caseyandgina> right, sure would be nice to be able to see what those parameters are, and control them directly, via the control panel.
[14:23] <caseyandgina> it's a black box now.  You try a generic VM set up yourself, vs. a Debian one blown away, and get different emulated hardware...but there's no direct way to control these settings.
