Snipping Tool, where are you!
Well, a lame attempt to use that from my Windows 7 VM didn't really work. Seamless not really being seamless...
00:31
Yes! I found a temporary workaround! :D

Q: Why does Cacti keep waiting for dead poller processes?

Oliver SalzburgI am currently setting up a new Debian (6.0.5) server. I put Cacti (0.8.7g) on it yesterday and have been battling with it ever since. Initial issue The initial issue I was observing, was that my graphs weren't updating. So I checked my cacti.log and found this concerning message: POLLER: Poll...

Now to find the actual cause...
00:43
I blame PHP...

Ugh

Does anyone know what this "phoenix vision" is supposed to be?

his english is rather horrific
Bob
Bob
07:25
Hm
He might be referring to a Phoenix BIOS :\
@JourneymanGeek The English is so bad (see his comment on the answer) that I'm thinking it could just be a troll :\
Especially the dskchk part (chkdsk?)

Q: Why does Nvidia create UpdatusUser account and is this a security issue?

FrancescoWhile doing a backup I have found out the existence of an account called UpdatusUser on my Windows 7 box. It doesn't appear in the account management section of the control panel. Searching on the web it appears to be related to some Nvidia driver. What is the purpose of this account? Does it...

Funny how people call it a complete disaster.
12:51
I am having a byatch of a time getting up'n'running with python on A2hosting using fcgi... is there a good book that talks about python for shared hosting environments? I have ssh access, I have installed python 2.6, and using a shebang i can get it working with regular old cgi, but add fcgi into the mix, and I am lost
@TomWijsman At least I already have it and Google just handed out a couple thousand :P
13:18
Argh, can't compile kernel because I compiled it in the future... (I recompiled it within two hours of fixing my system clock) Joy.
Time for a recursive touch, I guess...
You seem to be really enjoying Gentoo!
Yeah, disabling IPv6 system-wide now.
Bob
Bob
@Sathya Yea, there's something not right about that method :P
14:01
@TomWijsman --^
Yeah, someone reported that earlier.
Hmm, perhaps should look into prepending in front of the the ? because that's more likely to be the same for any SE site.
good idea.
Does anyone have any experience with PFSense? or can someone shed some light on a problem that is driving me mad...
I set up a VPN server, I can't connect from my home address, but, if I VPN to my office, I can then VPN to the server... it is as if my address is blocked - but - I haven't done anything funky and, I can access web sites and stuff hosted on the same IP just fine
Bob
Bob
14:28
@WilliamHilsum How about connecting to it from something other than your home/office address?
It could be that, rather than your home address being blocked, everything but your office address is blocked... I dunno :P
14:39
@Bob nice thinking! but, a friend was trying to help me set this up yesterday and he could connect from his office
awesome!
one of the best badges ever.
sweet. Achieved it pretty fast too. Congrats!
hey @JosephWeissman
hey @Sathya, how're you super users this morning?
@JosephWeissman good, good - what brings you to this part
It's actually been on my favorite rooms list for a while
Just in case I run into trouble at the command-line I figured it'd be good to have you folks on speed-dial :D
15:31

Q: Desktop icons change size and are aligned to the left after restart

jQuerybeastI am trying to keep the icons size and position to the place where I've shutdown my computer. That is: Keep desktop icons to the right and at a small size. When I restart my computer, the get a medium size and are all aligned to the left. Note: Align icons on grid UNCHECKED Auto arrange icon...

Cleaned the registry
Problem persists
Shocking :D

@OliverSalzburg Could you migrate this?

Q: Anyone else experiencing crashes with Dell M610 blades today?

Bron GondwanaJust today, Sat June 30th - starting soon after the start of the day GMT. We've had a handful of blades in different datacentres as managed by different teams all go dark - not responding to pings, screen blank. They're all running Debian Squeeze - with everything from stock kernel to custom 3....

@paradroid I already VTC'd. That's all I can do ;)
@OliverSalzburg Ah okay
@JourneymanGeek THen
@paradroid we can just vote for migrate/delete/close
@paradroid not it can be @Sathya
@avirk Yeah, I know.
He's not usually around at this time, is he?
@paradroid ping him may be he can answer you.
16:37
Not on Sat and Sundays :P
He's out cold
@OliverSalzburg guess what a miracle cud be regarding our last chat?
@HackToHell ah forget the days in these days much busy in farming work :P
@avirk What do you mean?
@OliverSalzburg ICS ROM
@avirk You got one?
@OliverSalzburg Official update .
16:42
@avirk Wow. Awesome
@avirk Did you already install it?
Everyone has a smart phone :/
@OliverSalzburg not yet but will do soon as I'll got free myself
@HackToHell don't have you?
@OliverSalzburg do you know about minimum hardware requirement for ICS
@HackToHell not really
:5178329 'tis done :)
16:49
Thanks
I had to read it couple of times before it hit my head
@JosephWeissman woohoo!
@paradroid cheers
@Sathya hurray!
Wait, for what? :D
@HackToHell so havn't mobile or smartphone?

A: Why does Cacti keep waiting for dead poller processes?

Oliver SalzburgI did investigate a bit further and realized the closing of the connection to the database is intentional. The connection should be reestablished for the next polling run. But it isn't. Here's an excerpt from poller.php: if ($poller_runs_completed < $poller_runs) { db_close(); // Deb...

Yay \o/
@avirk Sorry, no idea
@avirk I doubt. I'd just grab a custom ROM from XDA forum.xda-developers.com/…
@Sathya That keyboard would drive me insane :D
I hate that home-end-key alignment
2
@Sathya Exactly! :D
:(
such a pain, esp since I use the end so often
16:59
@Sathya: You have an Android phone? I thought I saw you commit on Area 51 for the Windows Phone SE proposal.
@paradroid I have an iPhone & an Android, hoping to get a WP as well
just waiting for their WP8 mess to be sorted
WP8 mess?
@OliverSalzburg no account there have to create one, hope I'll get 100 :P
It's a good idea to wait for the WP8 phones, yeah.
@avirk You can never have too many SE accounts ;D
17:02
There's a really crappy atmosphere at the WP site
@Sathya I've used WP of samsung and it was awsme but that time battery was really matters :D
@OliverSalzburg how many?
@paradroid was all set to buy a Lumia, then the rumours of no upgrade came up, and the recent keynote confirmed it
@paradroid how so?
It's really quiet at the moment, and the people there seem to be competitive.
@avirk I have 28
@paradroid oh
17:04
@OliverSalzburg I'm many behind you
@Sathya thata you?
@Sathya Damn... :D
@OliverSalzburg so now the statement should be changed or not?
@avirk yep.
@avirk Everything <100 is fine ;D
:P
@OliverSalzburg lol
@OliverSalzburg account there and ++1 ;p
17:16
@avirk Thanks. I appreciate it :)
@OliverSalzburg hmmmm
I'm an upvoter just give me the link and check if he post is good :D
is there any good software than teracopy?
@avirk I use TeraCopy myself. At least for local copy operations :P
The native shell copy handler is still the most stable and reliable, from my own experience.
@OliverSalzburg I like it but it has lack of resume capability if the HDD removed by chance
@avirk That's not the worst thing it does ;D
@OliverSalzburg I like the feature of teracopy and most one is drag and drop.
17:22
Like, I have a few mapped network locations, when I copy from or into those... I never use TeraCopy
@OliverSalzburg ah! no networking work
I've got a new rack cabinet with a wooden desktop and glass door. It's lined with acoustic insulation and has a fan at the top. I'm really pleased with it, but I just realised that my 4U and 2U cases are too deep for it, by around 50mm. Gutted.
@paradroid Pictures?
Having a rack at home is really smart, now that I think about it
@paradroid Sexy
17:32
I have to buy new rack cases now.
I'll use it without the rear panel for now, which sort of defeats the whole purpose.
WTH is going on
There should be message Update failed
@avirk What? :D
@OliverSalzburg captured the screen to post it on Sony support but it just flashes
getting a message update component cudn't be installed
:(
What are you using for screen capture?
@OliverSalzburg Greenshot ;p
17:44
That's weird.
Did you use "Capture Window"? Alt+PrintScn?
I wonder if this is related to some window themeing thing
I believe I remember you showed some screenshots with a weird theme :D Maybe WindowBlinds? stardock.com/products/windowblinds
@OliverSalzburg no theme just aero
@avirk Weird
@Sathya great
@OliverSalzburg don't mind I think it was the problem due to popup dialog window ;\
every time I play a video, there's a slight stutter at irregular intervals on this machine, driving me nuts
it's like your tape getting stuck in the VCR player head
17:53
@Sathya VLC?
any video source
@Sathya strange
@OliverSalzburg do you download the youtube videos through phone?
is there a package manager for bash with enhancements, like oh my zsh?
@avirk from 2009, yes
@JosephWeissman not that I'm aware, but I've been out of touch...
18:02
@Sathya aha too many programs pinned
much leaner now
@avirk No. Never done that.
@Sathya exception when clicked the "selection mode"
@avirk you didn't select a valid range
@Sathya aha
got it
18:08
^^ my current desktop.
@Sathya its night and you are freaking me out
;D
that stuttering is driving me nuts. Should try update the drivers for the GPU
@Sathya good idea
@Sathya I bet you cheated ;P
@Sathya why did you removed the image?
18:12
@OliverSalzburg nope, I've disabled that show-deskto-icons since quite some time for now
@avirk which image?
@Sathya Interesting. Any special reason?
^^ Red Hot Chili Peppers fans might want to bookmark that.
@Sathya desktop screenshot
Wow. That one guy just solved my question through Google+ :D
@OliverSalzburg dunno, one day I randomly decided to disable showing icons, and my desktop looked clean. Plus I never clicked on them, I'd generally hit Winkey & type some app name, so I outgrew them
which is one of the main reasons why I love Unity. Same workflow.
@avirk changed theme
18:16
@Sathya Good point
I use it primarily as a storage area for specific items
But never to start or find something
@OliverSalzburg ah, such as?
@Sathya Everything that doesn't fit into any other category :D
@OliverSalzburg :D
Garbage, really :D
bwaha/
Win 8 RP download is near done, hopefully I'll get to installing it tomorrow
18:20
@Sathya size? and same usb installation as 7?
@avirk 3.3gb for x64, 2.5 x86
See what I mean? :D
garbage
@OliverSalzburg new.kids O_o
@Sathya It's a dutch TV show
It's awesome :D
O_O
@Sathya BTW. About that blog post of yours. This is what Greenshot offers after making a screenshot:
@OliverSalzburg ah. I wrote that before I ran into greenshot (which was on Super User)
@Sathya I only learned about Greenshot through SU as well :)
What a lucky day that was when I spotted that community ad :D
@OliverSalzburg hehe, same
19:05
killed . Most questions were crappy stuff from Server Fault

A: How can I produce high CPU load on a Linux server?

Mitesh Shah Try stress It's pretty much an equivalent of the Windows consume.exe: oliver$ ./stress --cpu 3 stress: info: [18472] dispatching hogs: 3 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd Try Fork Bomb :(){ :|:& };: Execute the following Script #!/bin/bash StartWhenExit() { /bin/bash $0 } trap "StartWhenExit...

That stress tool is really something
Nice one!
I just love it when something actually builds from source without issues on the first try.
20:05
@OliverSalzburg Install Gentoo. :D
@TomWijsman I never tried it
Wouldn't want to put it on a production system without any hands-on experience.
True, took 1.5 days to see a visual browser again.
I'd wish links had JavaScript...
@TomWijsman Hehehe
Personally, I prefer w3m
@OliverSalzburg Hmm, there seems to be a w3m-js extension.
@TomWijsman Never tried it.
Sounds intriguing.
 
2 hours later…
21:50
Are there 2 separate chat networks on SE?
I just realized that there are other rooms on chat.stackoverflow.com
@OliverSalzburg: Yeah, they should just merge them.
@TomWijsman Indeed
