15:28.37cpufreak(Roberto Lumberas)--
15:28.58cpufreak# adding undocumented stupid shell scripts to Debian/Ubuntu boxes in the iproute package.
15:29.04cpufreak/usr/bin/routef is a cunt
15:29.08cpufreakI typoed route
15:29.14cpufreakand it flushed the route table on my box
15:29.21wethrinD'OH!
15:29.51wethrinIsn't there an easy way of flushing the routing tables anyway?
15:30.00antiphase`ip route del`
15:30.06antiphaseBeen there, done that :)
15:30.22cpufreakyeh
15:30.38antiphase*tap tap tap* Is the Internet broken?
15:30.52highburywe can see you
15:30.59cpufreakI did this on a (personal) box in Germany
15:31.00antiphase*sound of phone being picked up* Can you go and console a box for me
15:31.17cpufreakand its not rebooted
15:33.31antiphaseSign him up for some pr0n-by-email
15:34.51cpufreakits alright
15:34.54cpufreakam in the rescue console now
15:35.15cpufreakwhich is hetzner's way of booting the box up with their kernel, which klets you do yoru stuff to fix it
16:32.25LeedsHKibot seen mozrat
16:32.27ibotmozrat <i=mozrat@outbound.silenceisdefeat.org> was last seen on IRC in channel #gllug, 211d 19h 44m 9s ago, saying: 'how are you?'.
16:34.08wethrinwas it really that long ago?
16:35.40boudiccasmaybe we should send out a search party?
16:36.39LeedsHKthe weird thing is, since he was one of the first people to send me email to my gmail account, and I'm now largely reading it over IMAP, I see his mail every time I open the mailbox and it jumps to the oldest mail
16:36.54wethrin:)
16:37.58antiphaseI always want to see my oldest mail as soon as I log in. I must start using gmail ;)
16:38.32LeedsHKantiphase: just while thunderbird updates its index :-P
16:52.41wethrinAre they all evil?
16:52.49rhowePrinters are inherently evil
16:52.57wethrinTrue
16:53.34Armand_Laptoplol
16:54.00wethrinBut so far are the best way of getting on-screen stuff onto dead tree
16:54.16Armand_Laptopespecially crappy "frickin'" laser printers that chew up the 40 copies of a CV I needed like, 20 minutes ago. :P
16:54.52wethrinThey only do that when you're in desperate need of printing
17:01.32LeedsHKours at Sun were named for Belgian beers
17:02.01LeedsHKat my current place, they are named ricoh_p1 and ricoh_p2 - and that tells you almost everything you need to know about the place

17:25.25Ch0HagEvery time I load X the font size in Galeon changes.
18:04.56cpufreakhmm
18:04.56cpufreak# grub-install hd0
18:04.57cpufreak/dev/sda1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
18:05.09cpufreakyet, fdisk /dev/sda looks perfectly happy
18:31.53*** join/#gllug Leeds (i=1000@n219077080249.netvigator.com)
18:33.23halisda1 or sda? whats in device.map?
18:40.11cpufreak# cat device.map
18:40.11cpufreak(hd0)/dev/sda
18:50.16cpufreakudev seems to have fucked the dog
18:50.26cpufreak(last time the box was booted it waas pre-udev)
18:50.37cpufreakabout 400 days ago
18:56.57haliubuntus udev implementation is flakey
18:57.21halii've had several problems where it required a restart to find new devices when hotplugging
19:05.56cpufreakwell rebooting ownt fixs it
19:05.58cpufreakwont fix it
19:06.15wethrinwhoops
19:07.29cpufreakI'm wondering if this has something to do with it....
19:07.29cpufreakroot@rewind:/dev# ls -lart sda1
19:07.29cpufreakbrw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 2007-12-04 19:00 sda1
19:07.29cpufreakroot@rewind:/dev# cd /dev/mapper/
19:07.29cpufreakroot@rewind:/dev/mapper# ls -lart sda1
19:07.30cpufreakbrw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 9 2007-12-04 19:00 sda1
19:07.41cpufreakdifferent major/minors for them
19:07.58cpufreakI hate them
19:08.03cpufreakall because I typoed route earlier
19:08.17wethrinWell....it shows there's something else broken in the system
19:08.29cpufreakwell no
19:08.31cpufreakwhat happened was
19:08.38cpufreakthe box was running 2.6.15 perfectly happly
19:08.55cpufreakand had been since I installed the box with Ubuntu 6.06 a year and a bit ago
19:09.06cpufreakin the mean time I'd upgraded from 6.06 to 6.10, then to 7.04 and now to 7.10
19:09.10cpufreakwithout rebooting
19:09.14wethrinWhoops
19:09.14cpufreakroutef flushed the route table
19:09.19cpufreakso the box stopped pinging
19:09.20wethrinSo you've got a new kernel...
19:09.27cpufreaknow 2.6.15 doesn't support udev
19:09.33cpufreak7.10 depends on udev
19:09.38wethrinhurrah
19:09.47wethrinSo you've *not* got a new kernel, but everything else new
19:09.51cpufreakyes
19:10.04cpufreakand I can't get grub to install
19:10.07cpufreakas udev has fucked the dog
19:10.28cpufreakam currently booting a kernel with stackly loaded modules nad have bastardised the bootup process to get networ working
19:10.32wethrinAnd people wonder why I'm not so keen on Linux any more....
19:10.40cpufreakas I have no OOB on hte box just the emergency console that Hetzner give me
19:11.30cpufreakdoing things blind is trciky
19:11.46wethrinIndeed
19:11.50wethrinCereal consoles FTW
19:27.21cpufreakarse
19:27.27cpufreakit just doesn't boot with anUbuntu kernel
