| 13:47.53 | nmcbride_ | back |
| 13:59.14 | stickster | nmcbride_: go |
| 15:38.24 | nmcbride_ | stickster: basically for networks that are wep i turn off wpa_supplicant or it wont connect and instead just keeps asking me for my key over and over even tho I already unlocked the keyring, so I turn it off and it connects then after a few seconds wpa_supplicant turns on and I get disconnected everytime. |
| 15:38.29 | nmcbride_ | thats the firs tone :D |
| 15:39.02 | stickster | nmcbride_: Have you asked about this on #fedora or at the Fedora Forum? |
| 15:39.52 | stickster | I use WPA here so I can't confirm the behavior |
| 15:40.15 | nmcbride_ | I found similar issues on the fedora forum which is where someone said to turn off wpa_supplicant, but theirs worked after they did that |
| 15:40.37 | stickster | You can check your GConf registry to make sure the network listing isn't incorrectly set for WPA requirements |
| 15:41.33 | nmcbride_ | whats that under? |
| 15:42.35 | nmcbride_ | i did a search wpa and it isn't finding anything, altho i should probably check as root |
| 15:43.33 | nmcbride_ | ya it doesn't find wpa anywhere |
| 15:43.38 | nmcbride_ | anyway secondly |
| 15:43.48 | nmcbride_ | the second issue is i made a udev rule to make /dev/net/tun chmod 0666 and for some reason after updating it isn't applying the udev rule |
| 15:44.08 | nmcbride_ | it updated the kernel is what i ment to say |
| 15:44.26 | nmcbride_ | i changed the general conf and tried it as its own rule and no go |
| 16:16.40 | stickster | has to hit the road, back in a bit |
| 16:18.00 | stickster | will think about the latter |

| 21:37.17 | nmcbride_ | stickster: how come in fedora 8 I can't 'modprobe ide-scsi' ? |
| 21:37.37 | stickster | nmcbride_: Umm... because it doesn't exist anymore? |
| 21:37.49 | nmcbride_ | cool these are the answers im trying to get to |
| 21:37.52 | nmcbride_ | whats used now? |
| 21:37.57 | stickster | nmcbride_: GIYF |
| 21:38.05 | nmcbride_ | im trying to get an old tape dive to work |
| 21:38.17 | nmcbride_ | GIYF? |
| 21:38.48 | stickster | Google Is Your Friend |
| 21:38.50 | stickster | :-) |
| 21:39.00 | nmcbride_ | no joke? thats where I found all the ide-scsi stuff? |
| 21:40.10 | nmcbride_ | can it be found on the fedora site? |
| 21:41.08 | stickster | nombyte: What kind of tape drive? |
| 21:41.18 | stickster | nmcbride_: What kind of tape drive? |
| 21:41.23 | nmcbride_ | a travan hornet |
| 21:41.28 | nmcbride_ | STT20000A |
| 21:41.54 | stickster | Ouch |
| 21:41.58 | stickster | That's frickin' old |
| 21:42.02 | nmcbride_ | ya |
| 21:42.06 | nmcbride_ | im broke and it was free |
| 21:42.27 | nmcbride_ | :D |
| 21:42.50 | nmcbride_ | this is on the fedora mailing list: ide-scsi is completely broken in 2.6 currently. Known problem. |
| 21:42.50 | nmcbride_ | <PROTECTED> |
| 21:42.52 | stickster | I'm not even sure that's supported anymore. |
| 21:43.12 | stickster | Yup, you might want to try an older Linux to try it out |
| 21:43.14 | nmcbride_ | a friend of mine has one working but i can't get a hold of him cause he's mia :D |
| 21:43.21 | nmcbride_ | in F8 |
| 21:43.35 | nmcbride_ | do u know what module needs to be loaded for scsi emulation? |
| 21:43.36 | stickster | Keeping in mind that you'll need older hardware so as not to confuse the older Linux. |
| 21:44.46 | stickster | So the interface is IDE? |
| 21:44.51 | nmcbride_ | correct |
| 21:44.53 | stickster | It's not a parallel over IDE is it? |
| 21:45.03 | nmcbride_ | i don't think so |
| 21:46.10 | stickster | There's info in /usr/share/doc/kernel-*/Documentation/ide.txt about engaging ide-tape |
| 21:46.30 | stickster | I'm not sure how up to date it is, but it's definitely at the 2.6 level. |
| 21:46.48 | stickster | You need the 'kernel-doc' package installed |
| 21:47.12 | nmcbride_ | i need someone to ssh in and take a look :D :P |
| 21:47.39 | nmcbride_ | im learning all this tape stuff and a workig drive at home would be awsome to practice on |
| 21:48.46 | nmcbride_ | so basically i have to reboot and add "hdx=scsi" to my kernel line? |
| 21:48.53 | stickster | You can try |
| 21:49.00 | stickster | I have no idea if that still works. |
| 21:49.16 | nmcbride_ | is the 'x' a placeholder |
| 21:49.24 | nmcbride_ | or do i actually use x |
| 21:49.26 | stickster | yes for a letter for the drive position. |
| 21:49.35 | stickster | a = primary master, b = primary slave, c = sec master, etc. |
| 21:49.58 | nmcbride_ | i wonder if its bad that there is no mention of the drive in dmesg... :D |
| 21:50.02 | stickster | That's why I think that's iffy -- because now there's a new libata library that makes all those SCSI devices. |
| 21:50.32 | nmcbride_ | wait yes there is |
| 21:50.33 | nmcbride_ | ata1.00: ATAPI: Seagate STT20000A, 8.43, max MWDMA2 |
| 21:50.33 | nmcbride_ | scsi 0:0:0:0: Sequential-Access Seagate STT20000A 8.43 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 |
| 21:50.50 | stickster | Well then you probably have support. |
| 21:50.58 | stickster | Have you looked to see if you have a /dev/st* device? |
| 21:51.06 | stickster | and/or /dev/nst* |
| 21:51.07 | nmcbride_ | i do thats not the problem |
| 21:51.12 | nmcbride_ | the problem is: |
| 21:51.30 | nmcbride_ | Apr 4 16:15:55 mainframe kernel: st0: Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] |
| 21:51.30 | nmcbride_ | Apr 4 16:15:55 mainframe kernel: st0: Add. Sense: Invalid command operation code |
| 21:51.44 | stickster | Do you know for certain the hardware works? |
| 21:51.46 | nmcbride_ | i have no idea what that is and google wasn't helpful |
| 21:51.56 | nmcbride_ | no it was free and i just got it |
| 21:52.08 | stickster | Yeah, I'd look at it as suspect until proven innocent. |
| 21:52.24 | nmcbride_ | thats what im trying to do i just don't know enough |
| 21:52.29 | stickster | Normally, Sense Key: Illegal Request errors like that mean the drive responded with something that doesn't make any sense to the controller. |
| 21:52.41 | stickster | You see it a lot on drives going bad. |
| 21:52.46 | stickster | s/drives/hard drives/ |
| 21:52.54 | nmcbride_ | if i do |
| 21:52.56 | stickster | has to go back to work, sorry |
| 21:53.02 | nmcbride_ | np thanks |
| 21:53.04 | nmcbride_ | :D |
| 21:53.34 | nmcbride_ | usb storage is cheaper :P I just wanted a drive i didn't have to ssh to to use, but atleast we have a sweet one at work :D |
