Cleaned up refs to old guides etc 18:42:42 grundblom and others - I'm thinking of combining the 'products' and 'tools' chapters into one. They both go over virt tools and packages 18:42:57 and likely can have some of the more advanced tools etc snipped out. 18:46:24 I am ok with that 18:49:58 13trac.git.receive -- immanetize pushed some commits to the 'docs/release-notes' fedorahosted git repository 10http://da.gd/4w6Fo 18:50:31 * randomuser crosses fingers, hopes rpm will build 18:52:29 randomuser, I have on my todo list to download and begin reading the dual boot guide and help out 18:52:50 awesome, grundblom 18:52:51 but, as always life happens and the family file server died 18:53:24 oh no! 18:53:38 like, needs a new power supply, dead, or *dead* ? 18:54:00 It went slowly, peacefully, 18:54:12 first the sata controller went out, then the nic stopped working 18:54:53 I do not trust the HP micro servers anymore..3rd one in two years to have board/controller failures 18:55:02 anyhow, sorry to make excuses 18:55:20 I use something like http://www.ebay.com/itm/SuperMicro-SC933T-R760B-Storage-server-15-bay-/121640762185?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c525abb49 18:55:42 at least your dog didn't eat it, grundblom 18:55:47 :-) 18:55:51 Thats right! 18:56:28 randomuser, my wife will never agree to one of those... 18:56:45 grundblom, sell it as a useful white noise generator! 18:59:11 15 drives? What the hell do you store on those?! 19:01:37 there's maybe eight in there, pbokoc 19:01:49 and I store a lot of not caring about careful storage management 19:02:03 that's still way too much unless they're 80 gigs each :)) 19:02:21 yeah, I have that too, but in my case it just means my /home is 326GB 19:03:05 2TB each, in LVM, with raid6 LVs for whatever and three way mirror for some semi-important personal records 19:03:15 I bought a single 1TB drive ~4 years ago because it was cheap and it's never been even half full 19:03:46 * randomuser checks on his submission to http://www.zimbrotop.com/pbokoc.html 19:04:04 fail. This site really needs to step up it's game. 19:04:10 y'all need to learn to let go of your data 19:04:31 yeah, I don't think there's anyone to approve it :)) 19:04:52 the entire thing seems randomly generated... I mean, Penumbras Blenching Okaying Killicks Ointing Cinct?! 19:04:59 the hell is a cinct? 19:05:03 I don't recall what I said, but it was much better than what's there 19:05:14 a cinct is the neck hole in a turtle shell 19:05:31 randomuser, you wouldn't lie to me, would you? 19:05:45 * randomuser winks 19:06:14 Definition of CINCT: engirdled 19:06:19 THANK YOU, MERRIAM-WEBSTER 19:06:22 THAT'S VERY HELPFUL 19:06:34 heh 19:06:52 "First Known Use of ENGIRDLE: 1596" 19:06:53 girdled, as in "goes around tightly" - like a turtle shell 19:06:59 what it doesn't say is last known use was a year later 19:07:29 en as in "within" 19:07:48 yeah, I get it, I think a "girdle" was something like a type of belt in Diablo II 19:07:54 so it's something within something that goes tightly around another thing - neck hole in turtle shell 19:08:26 isn't etymology fun!? 19:08:58 http://cdn.alltheragefaces.com/img/faces/svg/angry-no.svg 19:10:17 http://i.imgur.com/UNCIO.jpg 19:10:43 nice, those are going in the minutes 19:11:34 http://gifstumblr.com/images/come-at-me-bro_1132.gif 19:13:54 https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/ed/cd/75/edcd758ad5e901c9a7d933c2bedb5f27.jpg 19:13:57 I know when I'm beat 19:15:15 hah 19:16:56 #info agreed: etymology is not fun 19:18:42 Capesteve, re:grub recovery on efi systems, there's an efibootmgr logged in /var/log/anaconda people can usually reuse if the firmware entry is missing 19:18:51 Capesteve, I have a section on this in the multiboot guide 19:19:07 hello 19:19:32 yes, good time of day to you! 19:19:55 GTODTY Capesteve 19:20:48 and to you too 19:22:26 I have a lot of dnf feedback to apply, it is going to be long night 19:23:03 can we help? 19:23:35 if you want to chunk out tasks , I'm sure at least one of us here would assist 19:24:40 dnf as in the yum replacement? 19:24:41 would take longer to share out I think, I'll let you know 19:24:50 yes grundblom 19:25:20 * randomuser nods 19:25:29 I would like to help where I can 19:25:55 well, didn't we have some other guides that needed updating yum -> dnf? 19:25:58 If I get my home server back online by next Tuesday I will be in good shape, so I have a couple of cycles 19:26:02 I think Striker was opening bugs for it some weeks ago 19:26:28 striker closed them because there was some uncertainty, but we should probably reexamine 19:26:46 oh right 19:26:51 a bicycle, grundblom ? 19:27:41 I do have a exercise bike I torment myself every day with.. 19:27:58 cool 19:28:23 I have a set of free weights in the garage, and move them out of the way *all the time* 19:29:38 So, do we need to alter guides and make additions about DNF in Fedora 22? 19:30:24 grundblom, for the most part, it's probably simple substitution 19:30:43 grundblom, the only guide that discusses package management in depth is the System Administrator's Guide, and Capesteve has that covered 19:31:06 in other guides, yeah, it's mostly s/yum/dnf/ 19:31:31 hey, check this out 19:31:39 https://github.com/proxypoke/git-task 19:31:50 after I have updated the DNF chapter, I will just do s/yum/dnf/ in the other chapters 19:32:01 If I remember correctly DNF keeps the same arguments as yum.. 19:32:04 It says it's meant for one-person projects, but I wonder... 19:32:28 i use taskwarrior 19:32:47 grundblom, the most used ones, yes, but the behavior is sometimes different, and yum-utils stuff is all different commands 19:33:19 I've had taskwarrior set up for a while, but just recently became motivated to actually *use* it 19:33:59 i only use it in simple todo list fashion , not used the priorities settings 19:34:15 here too; tasks and projects 19:35:05 This can help me, I was using a text file before.. 19:35:11 now if I could link up a screen to that git-task thing..... 19:35:26 and mount the screen in front of jh 19:35:32 heh 19:35:43 I could prompt him to do stuff 19:36:12 we would need an interface to the coffee machine, that has a small screen 19:36:49 sure, sure - when he completes the task "make coffee for Stephen" he can check off completion, right at the machine! 19:36:50 {i think we had a similar conversation before, involving screens in unmentionable places} 19:38:22 the one idea was to use RFID readers, to read badges, then present suitable reminders 19:39:38 hmm.. they make rfid rings 19:39:57 the readers could be tied in to a system that knows what reminder to give each tag at each location 19:40:31 like one on the inside doorknob at home that would remind you to put on your pants before leaving the house 19:41:17 oh - you already have badges to get in an out with, probably 19:43:05 zoglesby, are you in a position to kick off a `fedpkg build` of fedora-release-notes/f22 ? It's stalled here for no apparent reason 19:43:08 ls 19:43:16 woops wrong window 19:43:22 13trac.git.receive -- stephenw pushed some commits to the 'docs/system-administrators-guide' fedorahosted git repository 10http://da.gd/tSKe 19:43:28 the fedpkg build command is literally stalled and doing nothing, I mean 19:44:34 * randomuser will try from another machine 19:45:39 13trac.git.receive -- stephenw pushed some commits to the 'docs/system-administrators-guide' fedorahosted git repository 10http://da.gd/Z6MzB 19:47:42 13trac.git.receive -- stephenw pushed some commits to the 'docs/system-administrators-guide' fedorahosted git repository 10http://da.gd/HtN1 19:49:52 randomuser: yes, we have badges, we just need readers and screens at places where people least expect it 19:58:12 So, with the DNF changes, I was thinking of looking through the install guide and making corrections in it, would that be something worthwhile to do? 19:58:19 randomuser: I wrote a section on SSH certs, have you have used them? 20:01:10 Capesteve, I haven't, but I should 20:01:48 grundblom, iirc bcotton already did theinstall guide, but grepping over it won't hurt anything 20:01:59 * randomuser takes off his pbokoc hat 20:12:17 Yup, no references to yum other then yum.repos.d in the install guide 20:12:20 zoglesby, nevermind, got it 20:12:39 grundblom, want to take https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217767 ? 20:14:54 randomuser, sure 20:15:08 and just to make sure my brain is working right, this is a release notes ticket? 20:15:11 grundblom, add a section in.. developer tools, maybe? 20:15:18 yeah, release-notes.git 20:15:36 Developer tools in the release-notes.git repo 20:15:42 yes 20:16:15 when you've made the edit, update the ticket, then assign the ticket to me and I'll update the package 20:17:26 a little confusing; they filed the bug against the package, not the upstream document getting packaged 20:18:25 10-4 20:47:32 13trac.git.receive -- stephenw pushed some commits to the 'docs/system-administrators-guide' fedorahosted git repository 10http://da.gd/eBNI 20:52:33 13trac.git.receive -- stephenw pushed some commits to the 'docs/system-administrators-guide' fedorahosted git repository 10http://da.gd/nGkIb 21:35:16 13trac.git.receive -- stephenw pushed some commits to the 'docs/system-administrators-guide' fedorahosted git repository 10http://da.gd/QBuWc 21:46:56 #info Capesteve has been committing this whole time 21:47:20 .. 21:47:24 * Capesteve waves 21:54:56 me / waves 21:55:01 dangit 21:55:04 seeya all later 22:22:47 13trac.git.receive -- stephenw pushed some commits to the 'docs/system-administrators-guide' fedorahosted git repository 10http://da.gd/HKSyL 22:24:18 g'night, see y'all in 7 hours time 22:26:02 g'night 22:29:13 #endmeeting
