William Lawn Stewart

release to manufacturing

Seems it was just a case of idiocy over here, my login appears to have lost all its groups

Either that or the apocalypse is nigh

Probably just some idiocy on my part then, I'll grab one of the other people with sudo rights and see if they can get in

Is it just me, or has anyone else had issues running sudo after installing the bash updates last week? My Debian systems are fine, but the Ubuntu server at work won't let me sudo anything

Then again, I can probably answer my own question by trying to build clients using the other better supported LTSP distros like Xubuntu, just use my company's internet data cap in the process :D

Going to post a question, but before I do - Is using LTSP to serve up Lubuntu 14.04 fat clients from an Ubuntu 12.04 server sane, or am I crazy and should setup a new 14.04 server instead?

Wow, LTSP is pretty cool, bootup time is so fast

so much for upgrading the company lan to trusty, seems the mirror is getting hammered :(

I've emailed work in case they're trying to do something at the desktop on it

I just ssh-ed in and used sudo

My server just emailed me... "3 incorrect password attempts ; TTY=unknown ; PWD=/home/william ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/lxterminal"

@hbdgaf - A bit cold, but that may be because I'm in my pajamas at 11:30am

I haven't been able to replicate it, but at least one employee every day has their mouse buttons stop working, until they either restart or alt+f4 all open windows

I do have hopes that the upgrade on the client machines will fix a somewhat wierd Lubuntu bug which has been annoying users for some time

Although HA is going to be fairly silly given that both servers run off the same UPS

I have a fairly compelling argument for the boss though, the server's running an old version of Zentyal, so it is unsupported and the new version happens to have high availability, which management desperately want

...ouch

I managed to rsync it into a VM, but then the management software it runs had a meltdown over the active NIC being eth2

My boss doesn't see the point in the upgrade, so in order to it I'll need to do a hot clone of the server onto the retired server, so I have a standby/test machine

Hmm, gonna have fun upgrading to 14.04 when my holiday is over

The poor guy was at a remote location on a 28k modem, so it took him a while to find a Firefox install so he could access the site

pretty much

Great, apparently my company's new SSL cert is causing IE and Chrome on XP to give errors about the certificate being malformed

nooo, it killed the addon bar and now i have this mess of icons at the top

Apparently when you have a submodule within a submodule, funny things start happening and everything gets horribly out of sync

God dammit git submodules

yay, bugs

Hey there Kwaio :)

oh boy

And the scenario is exactly the same in that the certificate it presents is valid, just for the wrong domain

dev.autocheckextra.co.nz/authentication/user/login

Encountering it constantly on the site I'm working on though

Odd that I can't repoduce the bug there

yeah

I wasn't expecting it to be listening and reply with someone else's site though

The plan I'm on doesn't support HTTPS, they spelt it out explicitly on their plans page

also thats really strange, Firefox lets me confirm it there, so its not reproing the bug

although the site it serves up definitely isn't mine, so no SNI going on there

didn't realise my shared hosting actually enables https even though it doesn't allow clients to put in certs

lawnstewart.com

hah, this'll do i think

Well, I can if I turn off IPtables rejecting access to everyone else

Yup, can do

bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660749

oh cool, its a 3 year old bug that nobody has fixed

However, the plot thickens if i use a different domain that leads to the same server. I get the same issue with the domain not matching, but it lets me confirm the exception just fine

Then again, people who use MS Exchange won't give a hoot about that anyway

Outlook and Google Calendar don't play very well together, while on Thunderbird you can get editing and the works

Thunderbird has its own nice integrations that Outlook lacks
