11:41.17 | LeedsHK | oh my god it's so humid out there |
11:44.19 | clive-h | It's humid in the UK too, at least the South East |
11:51.07 | LeedsHK | it's also 10 degrees hotter here than London |
11:51.40 | LeedsHK | which, given that I'm just within the tropics, technically, is rather to be expected |
11:53.22 | clive-h | heh |
11:53.35 | niv_one_three | help, how come I get bash: /etc/init.d/natrouting: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory ? |
11:53.59 | niv_one_three | my /etc/init.d/natrouting is just a file starting with #!/bin/bash |
11:54.13 | niv_one_three | this file exist, and it is a bash script |
11:54.23 | LeedsHK | niv_one_three: it's a DOS format file rather than a unix format one |
11:54.43 | niv_one_three | but but I use vi to edit it |
11:55.00 | LeedsHK | you originally wrote it on windows |
11:55.12 | LeedsHK | in vim, do ":set ff=unix" to fix it |
11:55.19 | niv_one_three | and the easy way to convert it is? |
11:55.27 | niv_one_three | thnaks |
11:56.00 | clive-h | dos2unix filename |
11:56.33 | niv_one_three | say, judgin from this remark as well as previus ones, could I apply for a sys admin job |
11:56.36 | niv_one_three | ? |
11:56.49 | clive-h | I'd say not yet |
11:56.49 | niv_one_three | I am asking this for real, as I want to change a job |
11:57.01 | LeedsHK | apply? sure... get it? maybe... do it? not without help |
11:57.13 | clive-h | I don't think you have the experience as yet to be a sysadmin |
11:57.35 | niv_one_three | yet that is the best way to advance in the unix world - right? |
11:57.48 | niv_one_three | thanks clive-h :-) |
11:58.01 | niv_one_three | so, what should I do to advance? |
11:58.17 | clive-h | Learn more |
11:58.23 | niv_one_three | I allready setup my own nome router and vpn |
11:58.36 | clive-h | So? |
11:58.40 | niv_one_three | and specific advice? |
11:59.08 | niv_one_three | for example I am learing the gentoo portage package manager |
11:59.12 | clive-h | So suppose you were adminning a web server farm? |
11:59.19 | niv_one_three | and hope to become platform tester |
11:59.35 | clive-h | And your manager came in and said the websites down? |
11:59.35 | niv_one_three | ok clive-h , go on.. |
11:59.42 | clive-h | What would you do? |
11:59.53 | clive-h | That's the sort of problems sysadmins face? |
11:59.53 | niv_one_three | I would look in the /var/log/apache... |
12:00.13 | clive-h | And you see everything looks normal |
12:00.22 | clive-h | and that apache is running |
12:00.25 | niv_one_three | I may have to work for computer seince in the uni AGAIN :-( |
12:00.37 | niv_one_three | oh |
12:00.38 | niv_one_three | ok |
12:02.14 | clive-h | so .. |
12:03.06 | niv_one_three | so I am thinking of how I may advance on my free time |
12:03.37 | niv_one_three | I think conribing to gentoo will help |
12:04.00 | niv_one_three | as well, as trying new stuff on my home lan |
12:04.15 | niv_one_three | but I wish there was a guide I could read |
12:04.58 | niv_one_three | oh the other hand I now face a dbus problem, and am googleing to solve it |
12:05.05 | niv_one_three | dbus refuses to load |
12:05.54 | LeedsHK | niv_one_three: so how would you diagnose the web problems? |
12:06.21 | niv_one_three | :-) well, I would first see if the port is occoupied |
12:06.32 | niv_one_three | netstat |grep 80 |
12:06.38 | niv_one_three | or use the apache pid |
12:07.00 | niv_one_three | assuming the port is open , it should be a firewall issue |
12:07.18 | niv_one_three | so I need to see if I can access port 80 locally |
12:07.27 | niv_one_three | thus firefox localhost:80 |
12:08.11 | niv_one_three | or what ever is the ip in httpd.conf |
12:08.35 | clive-h | See you talk about dbus |
12:08.36 | niv_one_three | I could also telnet that port... |
12:08.46 | clive-h | But in practice servers don't run X |
12:08.56 | LeedsHK | clive-h: what does dbus have to do with X? |
12:09.11 | niv_one_three | as for dbus, it refuses to load on my gentoo box accusing localmount is missing :-( |
12:09.23 | niv_one_three | yet I get no error loading localmount |
12:10.05 | clive-h | hmm |
12:10.10 | niv_one_three | clive-h: this dbus problem represents a way to see HOW I seek a solution |
12:10.48 | clive-h | And you could telnet the port |
12:10.56 | clive-h | and find that apache is listening |
12:10.58 | niv_one_three | As I said... |
12:11.13 | niv_one_three | so if it responds - issue is out of the server |
12:11.35 | clive-h | Is it? |
12:12.11 | clive-h | So far I think we've established apache is running |
12:12.16 | niv_one_three | well, I would then go to connect a client to the server and telnet the web port |
12:12.37 | niv_one_three | ahd that the port is active (also socket is active) |
12:12.49 | clive-h | Why not look the web page from your desktop? |
12:13.00 | niv_one_three | I said that.... |
12:13.10 | clive-h | No |
12:13.14 | niv_one_three | 15:07 < niv_one_three> thus firefox localhost:80 |
12:13.23 | clive-h | Yes you said that |
12:13.26 | niv_one_three | sorry I wasnt clear then |
12:13.50 | niv_one_three | I ment running #firefox <IP> |
12:13.55 | clive-h | I've never used production webservers as desktops |
12:14.07 | clive-h | Okay and so you find that you can ax |
12:14.09 | niv_one_three | I ment running #firefox <IP:PORT> |
12:14.21 | clive-h | Okay and so you find that you can access the website internally |
12:14.26 | clive-h | from where you work |
12:14.29 | clive-h | and it's okay |
12:14.59 | niv_one_three | I know ask if a firewall rule is blocking access |
12:15.20 | clive-h | well could be anything |
12:15.21 | niv_one_three | iptables (show me table) |
12:15.37 | clive-h | Last place i worked the corporate website was down |
12:15.48 | niv_one_three | I would want to connect a client to the server ON THE LAN |
12:16.05 | niv_one_three | so external routing cant be blamed |
12:16.09 | clive-h | When I checked the problem was that the dns was broken |
12:16.24 | niv_one_three | OK |
12:16.27 | niv_one_three | I see |
12:16.46 | clive-h | because the domain had been suspended cos they didn't renew the domain |
12:16.57 | niv_one_three | I was suggesting to eliminate internal probelms first |
12:17.00 | *** join/#gllug catalyst` (n=catalyst@allegro/user/angelchild) |
12:17.16 | niv_one_three | only then I would seek WAN problems.. |
12:17.28 | clive-h | Well yeah you need to do all of those really |
12:17.31 | niv_one_three | and yes DNS is a WAN problem |
12:17.50 | clive-h | sometimes |
12:17.56 | niv_one_three | right |
12:17.58 | clive-h | and sometimes a LAN one |
12:18.15 | niv_one_three | well, these issues - I think I can handle |
12:18.38 | niv_one_three | this expirince is from the home router and vpn to three sites |
12:18.54 | clive-h | All the jobs I've applied recently have done phone interviews |
12:19.01 | niv_one_three | this demends routing and troubleshooting |
12:19.05 | clive-h | about 20 odd technical questions |
12:19.21 | niv_one_three | I see |
12:20.10 | clive-h | So let's see : you have a file-system /u1 |
12:20.25 | niv_one_three | what is " /ul" |
12:20.25 | clive-h | And you try and unmount and it fails, says it's busy |
12:20.40 | niv_one_three | fuser <file> |
12:20.42 | clive-h | It's a file-system , any file-system |
12:21.13 | niv_one_three | right - "kernel , please tell me how is locking the file system?" |
12:21.44 | clive-h | something like that |
12:22.15 | niv_one_three | odd, I guess I solved the dbus issue |
12:22.17 | niv_one_three | :-| |
12:22.26 | niv_one_three | more ? |
12:22.55 | clive-h | You try and kill the process that's busying the file-system and it doesn't die |
12:23.08 | niv_one_three | first interview I had (for intel :-) I forgot about shadow :-| |
12:23.23 | niv_one_three | well at home it doesnt really matter... |
12:23.41 | niv_one_three | I want to know the process tree |
12:23.45 | clive-h | I remember when RedHat shipped without /etc/shadow |
12:23.52 | niv_one_three | which child holds the filesystem |
12:23.57 | clive-h | up till 5.0 |
12:24.26 | clive-h | The process is own by user 1 |
12:24.31 | clive-h | owned |
12:24.57 | niv_one_three | I was reffering to tree but the uid is helpfull |
12:25.15 | clive-h | It's marked Z in ps |
12:25.15 | niv_one_three | I mean - yes I m looking to kill it |
12:25.24 | niv_one_three | zombie :-| |
12:25.28 | niv_one_three | damn it |
12:25.29 | clive-h | you can't kill it |
12:25.33 | niv_one_three | I see |
12:25.34 | clive-h | even as root |
12:25.44 | niv_one_three | uid 1 and zombie |
12:25.49 | clive-h | can you think why not? |
12:25.58 | niv_one_three | min pls |
12:26.17 | niv_one_three | casue I am in the shell that holds it! |
12:26.26 | niv_one_three | open a new shell ? |
12:26.27 | clive-h | Nope |
12:26.31 | niv_one_three | damn |
12:26.43 | clive-h | It's blocked waiting for I/O |
12:26.52 | clive-h | so not able to handle signals |
12:26.55 | niv_one_three | I would run mount |
12:27.18 | niv_one_three | I see |
12:27.24 | clive-h | Last time it happened to me it was a NFS file system |
12:27.34 | niv_one_three | I saw it with smb |
12:27.42 | niv_one_three | when I smb via vpn |
12:27.54 | niv_one_three | I would give up - reboot |
12:28.05 | niv_one_three | sorry - I dont know |
12:28.05 | clive-h | sometimes that's the best solution |
12:28.18 | clive-h | reboot is probably what you'd have to do |
12:28.19 | niv_one_three | what is another approch? |
12:28.42 | clive-h | Look at the nfs server and restart nfs on that possibly |
12:29.04 | niv_one_three | mount would revel its a nfs mount |
12:29.12 | clive-h | yeah |
12:29.21 | niv_one_three | then it would make sense looking to the nfs logs.. |
12:29.38 | clive-h | yep |
12:30.10 | niv_one_three | thnaks |
12:30.29 | niv_one_three | well I am monitoring this chanel |
12:30.41 | niv_one_three | but want to get some stuff rolling |

18:29.00 | goibhniu | mine needs to be turned on before it pops up |
18:29.07 | morsing | Well, it comes up saying a camera has been detected if I want to import the photos but no matter what I do nothing happens :( |
18:29.26 | morsing | A file system used to come up on the desktop |
18:29.39 | goibhniu | hmm .. so it isn't mounting it at all? |
18:29.44 | goibhniu | what does dmesg say? |
18:30.36 | morsing | usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 |
18:30.37 | morsing | usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice |

18:31.14 | morsing | Camera is set to ptp |
18:31.51 | morsing | goibhniu? :( |
18:31.53 | goibhniu | and is anything showing up for mount? |
18:31.56 | morsing | No |
18:32.23 | goibhniu | and it normally works when you set it to ptp? |
18:33.06 | morsing | Well, yes |
18:33.12 | morsing | It's always set to ptp |
18:33.35 | morsing | How would I mount this manually? |
18:33.56 | goibhniu | I don't know what the device is going to be called |
18:34.05 | gregj | damn, I am so useless ... |
18:34.09 | morsing | Can I find out/ |
18:34.10 | morsing | ? |
18:34.16 | goibhniu | you could ls /dev before and after plugging it in and diff them |
18:34.43 | goibhniu | I think dmesg should also give some clues |
18:35.16 | goibhniu | can you plug the memory from the camera in on its own? |
18:35.18 | morsing | goibhniu: It creates some weird USB character devices in /dev, that's it |
18:35.36 | morsing | goibhniu: No - I can't find the USB thingy I normally use |
18:36.01 | goibhniu | can you paste in the device names here? |
18:36.41 | morsing | usbdev2.2_ep00 |
18:37.17 | goibhniu | 1 sec I'll try mine |
