00:07.26 | MikeB | is anyone coming, we did have two people show up |
00:08.00 | Zelut | MikeB: my pregnant wife is not up for it :( |
00:08.17 | MikeB | Zelut: That make sense:) |
00:08.24 | Zelut | MikeB: I hate to not show up to any of our events, but I'm sure you know how a pregnant wife can be. |
00:08.29 | mheath | sorry rain == not excited about the idea |
00:08.52 | MikeB | no problem, I'm going to head out |
00:09.10 | mheath | MikeB: Have fun. |

00:51.38 | mheath | Yah! That is absolutely friggin outstanding! |
00:51.48 | mheath | My laptop just decided to arbitrarily turn itself into a brick. |
00:54.07 | Zelut | mheath: trying suspend on my emachines does that. a have to pull the power, pull the battery, wait and try again. |
00:54.33 | mheath | Zelut: Uh, tried all of that. |
00:54.46 | mheath | Zelut: How long do you have the wait? |
00:55.09 | mheath | I've pulled out the battery and held down the power button which is HP/COmpaq's approved method of clearing everything |
00:55.43 | Zelut | mheath: ohh I've thought I bricked it for good before. I've let it sit for a few hours on occasion before it'd come back on |
00:55.56 | Zelut | after that I just stopped messing with suspend on that machine and filed a bug |
00:56.03 | mheath | Zelut: What did it behave like? |
00:56.07 | mheath | Mine powers on.... |
00:56.09 | mheath | but no display |
00:56.15 | mheath | CD spins around a bit |
00:56.21 | Zelut | mheath: poweron, no display (no bios, etc) and just sits. |
00:56.43 | mheath | Zelut: Thanks for the advice |
00:56.43 | Zelut | mheath: pulled all power and let it sit for a few hours and tried again. it eventually came back. |
00:56.52 | mheath | You've made me slightly less worried-and-pissed off |
00:57.06 | mheath | Loosing a $1,000 randomly would not be cool. |
00:57.30 | mheath | Problem, though...this isn't a suspend. This was a hibernate |
00:57.41 | mheath | Which, as far as the BIOS and physical hardware is concerned, is the same as shutting the machine down. |
01:15.57 | herlo | email's are fun! |
01:16.11 | herlo | s/'//g |
01:16.18 | herlo | I hate bears! |
01:16.31 | herlo | they keep killing Otis |
01:20.02 | mheath | Eh? O.o |
01:21.04 | Zelut | man, dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdb bs=4096 for 6G sure does take a while |
01:28.38 | mheath | Zelut: Hah, yeah. |
01:29.07 | mheath | You could write a program that could do that much faster if you really wanted to. |
01:29.30 | mheath | erm, nevermind. I misread /dev/urandom as /dev/zero for some reason. |
02:08.56 | herlo | Zelut: I wonder if the BBQ happened? I apologize I couldn't come, my roommate and I were stupid and forgot our housekeys. Had to wait for the other roommate to get home... |
02:09.16 | herlo | Zelut: did you know that you don't have a count? |
02:09.20 | herlo | in your dd statement |
02:48.41 | herlo | Zelut: ping |
02:59.04 | Heartsbane | herlo: there were like 7 of us, everyone else whoose'd out because of the weather |
02:59.15 | herlo | I didn't. |
02:59.31 | herlo | did you BBQ? Or go to the pub? |
02:59.42 | Heartsbane | after we choose a place to go eat it dwindled down to 4 us and we went down to the pub |
03:00.04 | Heartsbane | I had phun |
03:00.15 | Heartsbane | We came up with a new idea |
03:00.24 | atoponce | phun? |
03:00.59 | Heartsbane | ya phun... its likes fun but gnu |

03:01.54 | herlo | s/ar/ear/g |
03:02.07 | Heartsbane | herlo: the new proposed geeklunch |
03:02.26 | herlo | Heartsbane: cool. I'm glad that's coming through. Other groups are latching onto it too. |
03:02.37 | Heartsbane | just getting together for lunch downtown SLC to eat lunch and talk ideas |
03:03.10 | herlo | Heartsbane: yeah, its lots of fun. I've been to quite a few. I'd like to get a list up that covers all of these types of events. |
03:03.14 | Heartsbane | cause occasionally we are all could get together on occassion for lunch |
03:03.19 | herlo | yeah! |
03:03.59 | herlo | UPHPU has them once a month, looks like PLUG is trying to join up. Its cool that we've decided to grow as a community and do more.... :P |
03:04.07 | Heartsbane | it was phun talking to MikeB most I have ever heard him talk...we talked alot about Gutsy |
03:04.19 | Heartsbane | The new Printer interface |
03:04.21 | herlo | Heartsbane: he seems quite reserved... |
03:04.38 | herlo | but I think he's a very bright guy the little that I've talked with him... |
03:05.15 | Heartsbane | herlo: did you enjoy your wait in the rain |
03:06.29 | Heartsbane | <place dramatic pause here> |
03:12.26 | herlo | Heartsbane: nah, no rain. Just went to the mall |
03:12.49 | Heartsbane | herlo: you must know Pat at Games People Play |
03:13.17 | herlo | Heartsbane: nope |
03:13.24 | herlo | though I've been there a few times |
03:13.32 | herlo | I was at the provo mall, game den |
03:13.39 | Heartsbane | Oh, he is the owner |
03:13.41 | herlo | but only went in there for a few... |
03:13.58 | herlo | I actually go to BlackFyre Games in Orem most of the time... |
03:14.05 | herlo | Heartsbane: also, I got my haircut too |

03:14.15 | herlo | well all of them anyway |

03:24.16 | undertakingyou | I have never heard of that guy till now, and what a mohawk. |
03:25.03 | Heartsbane | Imagine him skiing down a mountain in a Warren Miller movie catching big air |
03:25.38 | Heartsbane | undertakingyou: do you know how to see how many actually bytes an appliance is using? |
03:25.44 | herlo | I've seen him skiing in a warren miller movie too, just didn't know his name. |
03:25.45 | Heartsbane | well anyone really |
03:25.52 | undertakingyou | No, I don't |
03:26.10 | Heartsbane | its not ps aux | grep <appliance> |
03:26.28 | Heartsbane | I want to know actual bytes, not a percentage |
03:27.20 | atoponce | number_of_bytes_in_ram * % |
03:28.06 | Heartsbane | yes |
03:29.31 | Heartsbane | atoponce: there is no way to get it so spit out the actual # of bytes it is currently using? |
03:29.51 | Heartsbane | I guess i will just do it on a calculator |
03:30.45 | herlo | Heartsbane: possibly, you could use the -o switch with ps |
03:34.54 | Heartsbane | got it thx |
03:37.08 | herlo | Heartsbane: did that actually work? |
03:38.29 | Heartsbane | well it pointed me in the right direction ps -eF | grep <appliance> |
03:39.51 | herlo | oh, you were using aux weren't you |
03:40.04 | Heartsbane | originally |
03:42.05 | Heartsbane | undertakingyou: MikeB: Ya I think I am going to backup the last of the info off my machine and try the Gutsy |

03:44.37 | Heartsbane | hehehe |
03:44.50 | MikeB | Heartsbane:woot |
03:45.28 | Heartsbane | it just sounds better |
03:46.04 | MikeB | Heartsbane: the beta will be out in five days if that make you more comfortable |
03:53.36 | Heartsbane | MikeB: Zelut: undertakingyou: Tribe5 is the new current? |
03:53.47 | undertakingyou | yeah |
03:54.01 | undertakingyou | They were going to do 6 but they canned it. |
03:54.33 | Zelut | Heartsbane: yes |
03:54.45 | Zelut | Heartsbane: beta release is in 5 days (27th) |
03:55.04 | Heartsbane | Zelut: I will be in Canuckistan in 5 days |
03:55.08 | Zelut | Heartsbane: post beta, RC on the 11th, final on the 18th. |
03:55.23 | Zelut | Heartsbane: they have the interweb in canukistan too you know |
03:55.34 | herlo | Zelut: someone mentioned that Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE will be releasing within one month of each other this time. |
03:55.34 | Heartsbane | Zelut: not where I am |
03:55.50 | herlo | Zelut: and that we should do a three pronged release party as the result. What do you think? |
03:56.20 | Zelut | herlo: well we're trying to plan one for the 20th but we'll be happy to participate in a community party as well. |
03:56.30 | herlo | Zelut: Oct 20? |
03:56.41 | Zelut | herlo: yes, its the saturday post-release |
03:56.51 | Zelut | release parties midweek are difficult |
03:57.03 | herlo | but doesn't want to miss the release parties |
03:57.08 | Zelut | ..plus, who knows where in the country I'll be that week |
03:57.31 | Heartsbane | herlo: as long as we don't have Steve shouting over people about the nature of how SuSe will rule all, and how SLEZ <sp?> is great because it prompts you for the root password to shutdown at the console |
03:57.42 | herlo | Zelut: lets plan on doing both then. I think it'll be awesome. We could set up a network install server that will install any/all of the distros over a network |
03:58.01 | herlo | Heartsbane: SLES (Suse Linux Enterprise Server) |
03:58.53 | Heartsbane | I didn't say any of that... in fact .. forget that happened |
03:59.03 | herlo | Heartsbane: I think its good for the community to compare. I won't *ban* anyone. If you feel threatened (which you shouldn't), I'd be surprised... |
03:59.24 | herlo | Zelut: thank you, that's a good approach |
03:59.48 | Heartsbane | Come on... its still worth a chuckle... just a little one. |
03:59.51 | Zelut | the three SUSE users in the state might get offended ;) |
03:59.57 | herlo | LOL |
04:00.07 | herlo | Zelut: I know of four, don't forget sontek |
04:00.35 | Heartsbane | Linux Torvalds will not endorse your blog. |
04:02.07 | Heartsbane | Zelut: so since I am going to Canuckistan, will Tribe 5 update to Gutsy release candidate 1 when I get back or will I have to re-install? |
04:02.29 | undertakingyou | What is avahi-daemon? |
04:03.48 | Zelut | Heartsbane: it'll update to beta, RC and final all just fine |
04:03.49 | MikeB | Heartsbane: you can sudo aptitude dist-upgrade to rc |
04:04.04 | Zelut | MikeB: dist-upgrade is now full-upgrade.. and upgrade is now safe-upgrade |
04:04.20 | Heartsbane | what is the difference? |
04:05.15 | Zelut | Heartsbane: just minor changes in the commands to do the same thing. |
04:05.48 | Zelut | used to be update ; upgrade ; dist-upgrade. now is update ; safe-upgrade ; full-upgrade. same result, altered commands |

04:21.53 | Zelut | wow |
04:22.04 | Zelut | that's a lot of nos |
04:22.10 | sontek | Zelut: herlo told me you guys called me a suse user in here earlier |
04:22.15 | sontek | Zelut: had to fight it |
04:22.23 | Zelut | sontek: herlo called you a suse user, not me |
04:22.31 | sontek | Zelut: he shall die! |
04:22.35 | Zelut | sontek: all I said was I wasn't going to badmouth suse.. the three users in utah might cry. |
04:22.36 | sontek | ~runwithscissors herlo |
04:22.40 | Heartsbane | I was a witness |
04:22.41 | herlo | ~herlo sontek |
04:22.41 | jbot | ACTION pokes sontek in they eye with a sharp needle |
04:23.14 | herlo | sontek: this is true, I did call you a suse user and I did a good job luring you here too ! |
04:23.18 | herlo | quite the nice trap! |
04:23.20 | sontek | if suse had more stable packages and provided better upgrade paths it'd be my favorite distro |
04:23.34 | sontek | herlo: you are a crafty fellow |
04:23.35 | herlo | sontek: you say things liek that about *every* distro |
04:23.44 | sontek | herlo: except for gentoo :D |
04:23.47 | sontek | herlo: gentoo is perfect |
04:23.48 | herlo | sontek: nope |
04:24.05 | herlo | sontek: you said if Gentoo could build packages in half the time, it'd be your favorite distro |
04:24.08 | herlo | I remember |
04:24.28 | sontek | no, it *is* my favorite distro, If it had binary packages it would be the one I ran on my laptop ;) |
04:24.45 | sontek | my laptop needs to do things fast |
04:24.46 | herlo | Just like with Fedora, you said if Fedora could get its repositories (albeit third party repos) straightened out, itd be your favorite distro |
04:24.48 | sontek | since I do all my work on it |
04:25.08 | herlo | sontek: for Ubuntu, I'm sure you can find something, maybe |
04:25.21 | herlo | if Ubuntu didn't use sudo for every command it would be my favorite distro? |
04:25.30 | herlo | :) |
04:25.31 | sontek | herlo: in order of sontek distro love: Gentoo -> SUSE -> Fedora -> Ubuntu |
04:25.32 | Heartsbane | herlo: has sontek ever said anything criticizing MickeySoft? |
04:25.34 | herlo | oh, and what about slackware? |
04:25.43 | herlo | Heartsbane: unknown |
04:25.50 | sontek | herlo: slackware needs a package manager and needs to support gnome |
04:25.54 | herlo | Heartsbane: is MickeySoft disney? |
04:25.58 | sontek | herlo: and then it would be my favorite! |
04:26.05 | herlo | sontek: I was just gonna ask that |
04:26.59 | sontek | 1. Suse isn't stable and doesn't provide a good upgrade path. 2. Fedora doesn't provide enough packages (although suse build service is actually helping with that). 3. Ubuntu makes to many decisions just to be different |
04:27.45 | herlo | sontek: what about dsl, slax and LFS |
04:28.13 | sontek | herlo: dsl is to damn small ;) |
04:30.12 | undertakingyou | Zelut: I dugg it. That really is smooth |
04:31.18 | herlo | undertakingyou: link please |
04:31.52 | undertakingyou | http://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_Human_Gnome_Screensaver_Lock_Dialog_Theme |
04:32.02 | undertakingyou | Sorry, it is long |
04:34.27 | sontek | I think fedoras/suses both look better |
04:34.46 | herlo | undertakingyou: not that long |
04:36.06 | herlo | sontek: fedora's is nice, but this one isn't bad... |
04:37.21 | sontek | its not bad |
04:37.29 | sontek | I just think fedora and suse have a cleaner look |
04:37.48 | sontek | suse is better at pretty than any of the other distros |
04:37.55 | sontek | it just sucks at stability :P |
04:42.16 | sontek | when I try to mount the iso i'm getting "mount: not a directory" even though it is |
04:42.22 | sontek | has full permissions and everything |
04:54.35 | herlo | sontek: agreed. SUSE is *very* pretty |
04:54.51 | herlo | how are you mounting it? |
04:55.08 | herlo | sontek: is this inside the fedora install? |
04:55.12 | sontek | I think the iso is bad |
04:55.26 | *** part/#ubuntu-utah undertakingyou (n=will@71-219-84-186.slkc.qwest.net) |
04:55.34 | sontek | I did mkisofs on some files and mounted it on loop |
04:55.36 | sontek | and it worked |
04:55.50 | sontek | I didn't test it after I downloaded it |
04:57.33 | herlo | sontek: which reminds me. I asked you about that recently |
04:58.05 | sontek | herlo: about? |
04:58.12 | herlo | I need to make an iso. Its not a bootable one, but its going to do autorun on windows and needs to support long filenames, etc. |
04:58.24 | herlo | sontek: ^^ that |
04:59.23 | sontek | ahh, yeah, you just have to pass your isolevel as 4 |
05:00.30 | sontek | herlo: theres also something like -max-filenames |
05:00.37 | sontek | its in the man |
05:00.58 | sontek | yeah, max-iso9660-filenames |
05:04.13 | sontek | so mkisofs /home/ > /test.iso -max-iso9660-filenamaes |
05:04.31 | sontek | 3mb/sec download from tds =) |
05:04.44 | sontek | 2gbs in less than 15 minutes |
05:07.33 | herlo | sontek: yeah, saw that |
05:07.43 | herlo | sontek: I did something like that, so it should work yo usay |
05:07.47 | herlo | ? |
05:08.02 | sontek | yeah, I do it for katie with image cds |
05:08.47 | herlo | sontek: and now with genisoimage you can make mac based ones too... |
05:08.54 | herlo | dunno if you could do that before... |
05:09.20 | sontek | I dunno, apple is the devil |
05:13.11 | sontek | i'm gonna raid the uofu surplus when I get back and snag up a cheap mac if they have any just so I can test our iris stuff on one |
05:13.16 | sontek | only problem is it has to run osx |
05:14.06 | Heartsbane | Night all |
05:14.20 | sontek | Heartsbane: gnight! |

05:14.31 | sontek | i'm bringing ut2k4 |
05:14.34 | sontek | and q3 |
05:15.12 | sontek | I was hoping they'd release a quake wars binary |
05:15.13 | Heartsbane | sontek: I won't be playing games anyway... being staff @ p42 is a lot like being a game warden at the time of hunting season |
05:17.20 | sontek | Heartsbane: but then how am I supposed to own you? |
05:17.41 | sontek | Heartsbane: when we ran mpcon we just rotated shifts so everyone could get games in |
05:17.46 | sontek | Heartsbane: but we also had an age limit |
05:18.00 | sontek | so we didn't have to worry about to much immaturity |
05:18.11 | sontek | it was more of worrying which cs clan was going to key the others first |
05:18.15 | sontek | :P |
05:18.23 | Heartsbane | ya I know... |
05:19.26 | Heartsbane | I will work something out ... so you can feel superior |
05:20.39 | Heartsbane | night |

05:41.33 | jbot | ACTION grabs herlo by the ear and washes herlo's mouth out with soap |
05:42.16 | herlo | sontek: okay, so I didn't see how do to the isolevel 4 thing, but I'll figure it out... |
05:42.39 | sontek | you might not need isolevel 4 |
05:42.58 | sontek | but its just -iso-level 4 |
05:43.16 | herlo | k, I'm looking for it now in the man page |
05:43.53 | sontek | I don't remember the differences between the levels |
05:44.04 | sontek | ok, so I finally have everything backed up |
05:44.08 | sontek | and have a real fedora iso |
05:44.27 | herlo | sontek: it appears that I need it |
05:44.35 | herlo | in the man page, they describe all the levels |
05:44.44 | herlo | sontek: sweet! |
05:45.19 | sontek | and I have an ftp server setup on windows box |
05:46.44 | herlo | cool |
05:46.51 | herlo | should be simple enough then |
05:46.55 | sontek | herlo: so what file do I need to dd to the usb drive? |
05:47.15 | sontek | I don't see bootdisk.img on the dvd |
05:47.34 | sontek | or do they provide a seperate download for it |
05:48.02 | herlo | sontek: its in images |
05:48.07 | herlo | called diskboot.img IIRC |
05:48.21 | herlo | ends in .img for sure and it doesn't say *net* in it |
05:49.06 | sontek | whats the syntax for a recursive find for all files with .img |
05:49.31 | herlo | sontek: its in the image directory off the root of the cd |
05:49.33 | sontek | is it just find . -name "*.img" |
05:49.41 | herlo | sontek: you don't even need the . |
05:49.51 | sontek | theres the isolinux folder |
05:49.51 | herlo | find assumes current dir if one isn't provided |
05:49.57 | herlo | same level |
05:50.00 | sontek | oh, images |
05:50.03 | herlo | should be an images dir |
05:50.04 | sontek | I didn't see that the first time |
05:50.08 | sontek | yeah its there |
05:50.10 | herlo | okay |
05:50.11 | sontek | I just missed it |
05:50.17 | herlo | yeah, I now |
05:50.20 | herlo | *know |
05:50.22 | herlo | :) |
05:50.56 | sontek | and should the filesystem be ext2 on the partition? |
05:51.04 | herlo | for? |
05:51.08 | sontek | the usb stick |
05:51.14 | sontek | or will dd take care of it all |
05:51.16 | herlo | ext2/3 or vfat will work |
05:51.21 | herlo | dd will take care of it |
05:51.41 | herlo | dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sdb (full disk) |
05:51.47 | herlo | your sd may vary |
05:52.56 | sontek | ok |
05:53.00 | sontek | brb, gonna try to boot |
05:53.19 | herlo | k |
05:54.07 | sontek | so at the boot prompt "linux askmethod" ? |
05:54.52 | sontek | herlo: you should give me another novell usb stick so I can have a dedicated booter :P |
05:55.06 | sontek | I can see how having it would be convenient :P |
05:55.19 | herlo | sontek: come to dinner Oct 13... |
05:55.39 | sontek | as far as I know all be there |
05:58.19 | sontek | after this onsite i'm at we are done for the year |
05:58.39 | sontek | and as long as dax accepts my terms, I wont be working here much longer anyways |
05:59.07 | sontek | w00t, installer is working |
05:59.17 | sontek | i'll have fedora in no time |
05:59.57 | sontek | found a bug in the installer |
06:00.01 | sontek | it checks disks twice |
06:00.02 | sontek | :P |
06:00.13 | sontek | its like oh noes sdb is loop! |
06:00.16 | sontek | i'm like ignore! |
06:00.21 | sontek | its like oh noes sdb is loop! |
06:00.24 | sontek | i'm like ignore! |
06:00.27 | sontek | and then all was good |
06:07.46 | herlo | sontek: isn't the network install cool? or did you do the hd one? |
06:08.04 | herlo | btw, you should probably start the install over and pull the usb disk as you see the first blue screen |
06:08.22 | sontek | herlo: I did network via ftp |
06:08.31 | herlo | otherwise Fedora will try to install parts of the os/bootloader on your usb drive |
06:08.32 | sontek | herlo: why? |
06:08.40 | sontek | herlo: but I told it to ignore it |
06:08.44 | herlo | even if you pulled it after the ignore |
06:08.46 | herlo | I now |
06:08.48 | herlo | I know |
06:09.15 | herlo | Its dumb, but the rationale is that anything you have in your drive will still be considered available by the bootloader |
06:09.24 | herlo | You can try it if you like...it won't hurt to continue |
06:09.27 | herlo | except time |
06:09.44 | herlo | if it doesn't work, just install again |
06:10.14 | sontek | I don't have much time :P, its 2am here already |
06:10.32 | sontek | I wanna sleep atleast 2 hours, thats usually good enough |
06:10.39 | herlo | Yeah, I know. I've been on the east coast a bunch. I know how it gets late easily enough |
06:10.58 | sontek | yeah it sucks |
06:11.06 | herlo | I'd say it can't hurt to start over now. It literally will only take 30-40 minutes at most to install |
06:11.17 | sontek | yeah, I already restarted |
06:11.19 | herlo | assuming you are fast at partitioning and choosing packages |
06:11.34 | herlo | so when you see the "English" choice, just pull the USB |
06:11.52 | sontek | i'm just going to have 500mb boot, and then rest on an lvm |
06:12.37 | sontek | gnats are a waste |
06:12.49 | sontek | but they are better than mosquitos |
06:14.35 | herlo | 500mb boot? wow, that's big |
06:15.28 | sontek | herlo: I give it 500mb just because I have a 100gb drive and I have to use it somewhere :P |
06:15.39 | sontek | and I used to play with a bunch of bootloader images and stuff |
06:15.41 | herlo | yeah |
06:15.42 | sontek | i'm to lazy to do that now |
06:15.49 | herlo | too lazy you mean |
06:15.56 | herlo | hehe |
06:16.06 | sontek | to lazy to type the extra o |
06:16.10 | sontek | :D |
06:16.53 | herlo | logging into my windersxp now to test my iso |
06:19.31 | herlo | w00t! |
06:25.29 | herlo | sontek: I'm transferring the iso now... |
06:28.46 | sontek | yaaay |
06:29.07 | sontek | Fedora 7.91 is installing right now |
06:29.34 | sontek | then I need to brush my teeth because i'm on my 5th code |
06:29.35 | sontek | coke* |
06:29.40 | sontek | I hate coke |
06:30.47 | sontek | its fun to watch the file transfers on the ftp server |
06:31.55 | sontek | you can raid lvms can't you? |
06:32.05 | sontek | i'm picking up 4 750gbs from newegg |
06:32.35 | sontek | so i'm thinking 2 lvm pvs (each 1500gb) and then raid those |
06:32.41 | sontek | raid/mirror |
06:33.14 | sontek | well, thats wrong |
06:33.24 | sontek | it'd be 4 pvs, at 750gb |
06:35.02 | herlo | doood! I works! |
06:35.27 | herlo | sontek: you can lvm raids is a better way |
06:36.01 | herlo | so you make a big raid 1 or something and then use LVM as the volume type. then make lvs from that... |
06:36.03 | sontek | herlo: w00t, you are teh leet |
06:36.14 | sontek | herlo: that makes sense |
06:36.23 | herlo | sontek: I made my S4 cd all automated and it pretty much works! |
06:36.33 | sontek | I just want a redundant 1.5tb |
06:36.50 | sontek | We just lost 600gb's of tv shows because a drive died |
06:37.31 | sontek | so I don't want that to happen anymore |
06:37.43 | herlo | raid 1 |
06:37.52 | herlo | although raid5 could be better |
06:37.59 | herlo | or rather raid6 |
06:38.38 | herlo | sontek: I'd suggest you do two separate disks though. If you don't have that, RAID isn't gonna help you much |
06:39.14 | sontek | herlo: i'm doing 4 disks |
06:39.18 | sontek | herlo: 4 750gbs |
06:39.30 | sontek | herlo: so each disk will have a mirror |
06:40.04 | sontek | and then I just want lvm for convenience |
06:42.50 | sontek | I really should've told dax I didn't want to start until november |
06:43.00 | sontek | then I could take the last 2 weeks of october off and relax |
06:43.28 | herlo | woot |
06:43.59 | herlo | yeah, LVM is very convenient on a laptop actually. I use it a lot to move my volumes around |
06:44.20 | herlo | and with Grub 2 coming out soon, you'll be able to have boot on lvm too |
06:44.30 | herlo | sontek: yeah, it'd be nice to have some down time... |
06:44.35 | sontek | how do you have your laptop partitioned? |
06:44.41 | sontek | I just have /home and / on LVM |
06:44.45 | sontek | so I can share the space where needed |
06:44.47 | sontek | and swap |
06:45.40 | sontek | I don't mind not having boot on lvm |
06:46.03 | sontek | but it'd be nice if I was running *really* low on space and could snagup a few 100mbs from it |
06:46.21 | sontek | but I don't torrent on my lappy anymore its not a problem |
06:46.59 | herlo | I have 10 - 10G partitions and one small boot partition |
06:47.09 | sontek | for? |
06:47.11 | herlo | I use everything on LVM except boot |
06:47.30 | sontek | so you have like /var /etc and all that on seperate partitions? |
06:47.39 | herlo | and I have /home, /, /var and /data (where I keep my data) there |
06:47.48 | sontek | I keep data in /home |
06:47.56 | herlo | I do as well, except its all in links |
06:48.01 | sontek | but my lappy isn't multi user |
06:48.05 | herlo | that way I don't have to backup my /home dir |
06:48.10 | herlo | neither is mine really |
06:48.34 | sontek | so home/herlo is actually /data/home/herlo ? |
06:48.46 | sontek | or /home/herlo/code is /data/code |
06:48.46 | herlo | anyway, so I then use the others for increasing/decreasing my /data and using it else where |
06:48.54 | herlo | the latter |
06:49.26 | sontek | that actually makes sense because I was thinking about creating a 'demo' user for when I do talks |
06:49.40 | sontek | so it'd be nice to have all my scripts in a central place both users can share |
06:50.42 | herlo | yeah, so I have all my *data* in /data |
06:50.50 | herlo | and my configs are all separated out that way |
06:51.15 | herlo | I have like 65G of data in /data and then the rest is configs/extra space/etc |
06:52.45 | sontek | I've gots me a fedora lappy now |
06:52.51 | sontek | flappy as I like to call it |
06:53.23 | sontek | xen kernel still doesn't booth though |
06:53.35 | sontek | I should probably figure out why and submit a bug |
06:53.40 | sontek | but I don't understand xen at all |
06:53.49 | sontek | maybe stephen can help debug it |
06:58.00 | herlo | you need to run kvm instead |
06:58.03 | herlo | it rocks! |
07:07.55 | sontek | well, I need to go to sleep for 3 hours, w00t, more than I expected |
07:08.00 | sontek | now that I have my fedora |
07:08.27 | sontek | and I ported blogengine.net to mono on the plane |
07:08.32 | sontek | so i'll have a blog pretty soon |

15:06.52 | Zelut | synic: on my box changes in there have been immediate |
15:07.14 | synic | I get nothing, even if I restart X |
15:07.23 | synic | the cube doesn't work, no hotkeys for switching workspaces |
15:13.13 | synic | Zelut: doe any of your hotkeys work? What about changing desktops? Can you rotate the cube, and if so, how? |
15:16.55 | sontek | synic: are you sure compiz is running? |
15:17.04 | synic | yeah, I get all the effects |
15:17.15 | synic | but just the basic ones, like wobbly windows and etc. |
15:17.49 | Zelut | i usually turn the effects off so I haven't tried but I can poke around in a bit |
15:18.51 | sontek | thats weird, are they still running compiz or is it compiz-fusion now? |
15:19.10 | sontek | they might have the configuration options for beryl and compiz installed |
15:19.17 | sontek | and the setting you are looking at might be for beryl |
15:19.27 | sontek | they should be instantaneous |
15:19.57 | synic | nah, the window title says compiz |
15:20.48 | sontek | I've got nothing then, you can try configuring it from console |
15:21.43 | Heartsbane | synic: just blame cyclone |
15:22.02 | sontek | do something like compiz --replace to make sure its actually compiz running and not beryl |
15:22.06 | sontek | and then change the settings |
15:22.17 | synic | yeah, tried that. |

21:25.30 | mheath | No reason or explanation |

21:26.00 | Gate | :o |
21:26.28 | Gate | Try killing all power and removing the battery+ holding the power button for a sec, then trying it? |
21:27.17 | Gate | wait, won't power on? ouch (was thinking won't boot) |
21:27.33 | Gate | then again that doesn't make sense either |
21:37.05 | mheath | Gate: It powers on, sorry. |
21:37.11 | mheath | Yeah, tried all that |
21:37.26 | Gate | ok, it does power on but not boot? |
21:37.30 | mheath | Sat for like 12 hours with main and BIOS non-volatile memory batteries out |
21:37.46 | mheath | Gate: Powers on == The power light turns on, and the CD-ROM drive has irradic behavior. |
21:37.50 | mheath | And the HDD too |
21:37.53 | Zelut | looks like bluehost can't keep up with my blog |

21:39.28 | mheath | same thing happened to it before when it was under warranty |

21:40.17 | Gate | what if you strip everything out, including the ram? do you get the no-ram beeps? |

21:41.02 | mheath | Not like it will help me much if it does beep, though :P |
