that won't help my SSH connections. I guess I am working from home for yet another day.

I'll pester alba about someone checking out my connection. again.
2014-01-16 01638, 2014
alastairp
do you have specific stats about what's not working? lost packets, bad ping?
2014-01-16 01647, 2014
alastairp
it'd be interesting to compare with my machine
2014-01-16 01638, 2014

while True:
2014-01-16 01652, 2014

works_great_for_a_few_minutes();
2014-01-16 01609, 2014
ruaok
utter_fail_for_a_few_minutes()
2014-01-16 01638, 2014
ruaok
Its either 100% on or 100% off. And when it comes back, all previous connections are deader than dead.

ah, interesting.

I don't ssh out of campus very often, so I'm not sure
2014-01-16 01637, 2014
alastairp
though one thing I did is added connection keepalive to all my connections
2014-01-16 01654, 2014
ruaok
I've already got that in place.
2014-01-16 01611, 2014
ruaok
but this is a about a 100% cut in service. total darkness.
2014-01-16 01624, 2014

not very condusive to work when you have servers in california to maintain.

ruaok: if you don't need ForwardAgent mosh helps maintain sanity on unreliable connections. ofcourse it only solves the problem of being able to continue working when the connection comes back, not while it is gone :)
2014-01-16 01611, 2014
ruaok
yeah, I should check into that….
2014-01-16 01654, 2014

brew install mobile-shell on your mac, and sudo apt-get install mosh on the ubuntu machines.

hi.
2014-01-16 01600, 2014
ruaok
have you ever had it where you started chef and you got the "chef starting" message and then it hangs?
2014-01-16 01607, 2014
ruaok
that's what's happening on rocko right now. :(
2014-01-16 01610, 2014
ocharles
nope, what are you running?
2014-01-16 01614, 2014
ruaok
I've got the latest chef installed.
2014-01-16 01615, 2014
ocharles
that is, what command?
2014-01-16 01616, 2014
ruaok
chef-solo.
2014-01-16 01623, 2014
ocharles
ok, how did you install Chef?
2014-01-16 01629, 2014
ocharles
with the funky bash script opscode provide?
2014-01-16 01630, 2014
ruaok
gem install chef
2014-01-16 01644, 2014
ocharles
ok, that's not how I've been installing it so far, so I should document that :)
2014-01-16 01645, 2014
ruaok
yes, but ditched that.
2014-01-16 01652, 2014
ocharles
oh?
2014-01-16 01604, 2014
ruaok
and the distro we have has no chef packages. those came a release late.
2014-01-16 01622, 2014
ocharles
what distro is that?
2014-01-16 01630, 2014
ruaok
well, the funky install script worked to install it, but it had the same problem
2014-01-16 01634, 2014
ruaok
12.04
2014-01-16 01635, 2014
ocharles
hmm
2014-01-16 01650, 2014
ruaok
it appears to block on a select call in the ohai libs
2014-01-16 01600, 2014
ocharles
let me ssh in and watch this happen too
2014-01-16 01605, 2014
ruaok
k
2014-01-16 01642, 2014
ocharles
ok, where should I look for the configuration?

~robert/musicbrainz-logs
2014-01-16 01656, 2014
ruaok
then see install.sh
2014-01-16 01659, 2014
ruaok
I just run
2014-01-16 01603, 2014
ruaok
sudo sh install.sh
2014-01-16 01619, 2014
ruaok
don't expect much from the output. :)
2014-01-16 01622, 2014
ocharles
:)
2014-01-16 01653, 2014
ocharles
how very odd
2014-01-16 01616, 2014
ruaok
this problem appears to have happened before, but it was tied to old kernels and fixed about 2 years ago.
2014-01-16 01628, 2014
ocharles
Oddly astro is fine and is on an older kernel
2014-01-16 01632, 2014
ocharles
(3.2)
2014-01-16 01643, 2014
ruaok
older in this case was 2.6
2014-01-16 01654, 2014
ocharles
ah
2014-01-16 01614, 2014
ruaok starts shaking down Vevo.
2014-01-16 01634, 2014
ocharles
Hmm
2014-01-16 01640, 2014
ocharles
astro doesn't have a Ruby on $PATH, but rocko does
2014-01-16 01656, 2014
ocharles
The ruby on astro bundled with Chef is different to that on rocko
