<0> escrow: yessir
<1> HP makes pretty good x86/x86-64 servers IMO. Well designed and reliable. Our base server is the DL380 or DL385.
<2> Idle`: We have the problem where... once the hardware is in... it pretty much takes an act of god to get it out
<3> how do you guys manage backups? I have a cron job that mounts an USB harddrive, makes a tarball, moves it to the hdd and unmounts it
<0> escrow: haha, yea
<3> so that any non-tech person can swap the hdd with the #2 drive
<0> escrow: we're lucky, we get new hardware when its needed
<0> our raid array grows by 2-5gb/day in size...
<2> As do we... but we typically go in with more than is initially necessary... and that gives us the longevity
<0> escrow: same
<2> Our backups are done centrally using netbackup unfortunately
<0> we used about 500gb, upgraded to a 1.6tb array, and within a year we're going to replace it...
<0> since windows doesn't handle 2tb very well
<0> Demi-god_: GPIO, an LED, and your parallel port... :)
<0> well, for that
<3> huh?
<0> we actually have a direct mirror of our primary data store on our backup server
<0> we use tar + ftp to transfer our linux backups to the backup server, then we just add it to the tape
<1> We use a combination of NetBackup & BackupExec to big tape robots. Not really applicable to your situation.
<0> we used to need 3 tapes per backup, but with the new tapes its 1
<3> for workstation backup I have another cron job that uses smbclient to get a listing of workstations, and uses smbtar to get the files from a share called BACKUP
<0> yea, we almost need a robot... this damned changing tapes twice daily just ****ed
<0> Demi-god_: we dont backup workstations here because we dont have any really...
<0> we have 1 for our accountant, but its not implemented yet
<0> we're going to rsync that
<0> anyhow
<0> bbl
<1> Yeah, no backups for workstations here. You want the data safe you put it on your shared home drive.
<3> my problem is that since I'm a part timer so I need a high level of automation for everything
<4> What are some good terminal emulators?
<4> I don't like xterm because of its odd scroll bar.
<5> I'm editing an xorg.conf - added only two modes to my Screen sction but those modes are not available to me in xrandr
<5> the only modes i get are your typical 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480
<5> are there overrides somewhere, maybe in the module i am using, that override the config?
<3> has anyone ever configured LDAP addressbooks for thunderbird?
<3> it looks like LDAP support in tbird is next to useless since it doesn't support adding contacts to the directory server
<6> Im trying to get debian to recognize my eth0 as the module 8139too that i loaded. The module loaded with no issues at all and when i try to ifup eth0, i get an "error getting inteface flags: no such device" error
<1> Hmm.. speaking of NICs.. I noticed one of my interfaces on my workstation running Fedora Core 5 (2.6.9 kernel) was named dev29543 (or similar, exact number may vary.) It is an onboard NIC using the forcedeth driver. The interface works fine however. Has anyone ever seen that? I'm curious at the cause and if there is a fix as it just feels weird having a devXXXXX interface.
<1> sigh.
<7> did a oops?
<6> does anyone know how to specify which module eth0 belongs to?
<7> /etc/modprobe.conf
<1> Evil keyboard shortcuts.
<7> set the alias in there, then depmod -a
<6> alias eth0 8139too like that right?
<7> yes
<7> this ***umes a 2.6 kernel
<7> 2.4 uses /etc/modules.conf
<1> graz: You ever seen interface naming like that before? Rather amazed me.
<7> no, is this in /dev?
<1> It is a consistent number across reboots but not across computers. My coworker has an identical machine and his number is different.
<1> I believe it shows up that way in /dev, ifconfig, etc. Hold one, need to fire up the lappy to double-check.
<1> The funny part is the kernel messages show it detected as an eth# device.
<7> yeah, I'd like top see some programs output that shows the device name
<7> I'll look at my systems and see if I have that too
<1> In dmesg it is detected as 'eth1: forcedeth.c: subsystem 010f1:2865 bound to 0000:00:0a.0'. My modprobe.conf has an 'alias eth1 forcedeth' line and no entry for dev29941. ifconfig eth1 reports no device found however. ifconfig shows the interface as dev29941.
<7> not as eth0?
<7> err eth1
<1> Right.
<6> how will i know if i loaded the right module for a device? perhaps i didnt load the right module for my NIC
<1> concorkid: you should see the kernel messages logged.
<7> ifconfig has all my ifaces as sit* eth*
<1> Which is how it should be... this is like freaky random.
<6> kernel messages logged? when i modprobe for the module it tells me information about the module, like the copyright and whatnot.
<1> concorkid: you should see 'eth0: Tigon3 [partno BCM95721) rev 4101 PHY(5750) (PCI Express) 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet ...' or similar lines.
<1> It will in particular identify the new interface's name (eth0, eth1, etc).
<6> i see... yeah it didnt do that.
<6> 8139too driver is for the Dlink DFE-530TX+ right?
<1> That means the driver loaded but it didn't find the interface. Wrong driver, too old of a driver, or driver lacks support for particular chipset, etc.
<1> 8139too.. what a name. I ***ume rtl8139 is no longer shipped?
<1> From a quick googling that would appear to be the correct driver though.
<1> I think DLink is one of those companies who likes to silently change chipsets while leaving the model number unchanged so who knows.

<6> yeah... u know what... i think this is a hardware issue with this ****ty mobo...
<7> pooleb: I see nothing like what you describe here
<1> graz: I guess I'm just lucky.
<7> concorkid: whats lspci -v show for the card
<6> i got it....
<6> switched the pci slot
<6> :) thanks guys
<1> Interesting.. congrats.
<9> anyone know of a way to display a picture in the root window of x11?
<9> not like setting a background
<9> just an image that sits on the desktop
<7> displaying an image in the root window IS setting a background
<9> thanks for the input
<9> brianh loves cock
<7> with that, I shall return
<10> mza: display -window root filename.png
<10> mza: that method requires ImageMagick. Some other viewer (like xv) also take -window root..
<10> neat, doesn't seem to be working in gnome.. heh
<11> what's the max size of initrd image?
<12> what can I use to put 2 commands on one line other than |, || or &&?
<13> ;
<12> I don't want any stdio connection, and I don't want the 2nd to be condigional
<7> ;
<12> thanks, and thanks
<7> no, thanks ; thanks
<7> :)

<11> hi
<14> how do you installl package tls
<15> what is iirc?
<16> If I Remember Correctly
<15> ah, okay, i thought it was a distro of linux and i couldn't find anything about it
<15> hehe
<17> iirc there's no distribution by that name
<18> m.. hi
<18> i've got a problem with my debian
<18> i've just apt-get dist-upgrade
<18> and now my X is not running
<18> i've also apt-get install kde-base kdm x-window-system xserver-xorg
<18> and i've got a new kernel
<18> and the errors are that modules "nv" and "mouse" do not exist
<19> I have a question
<19> <MyNetFoneNumber>@sip.myfone.com
<19> you see the <
<19> >
<19> do i leave them there or do i have to remove it ? for it to work?
<19> helllo
<20> was wondering if someone could help me, i just installed debian off of an elive cd and was trying to get my wireless card working.... there are no drivers for it so im attempting to install ndiswrapper, but upon trying to make ndis it says i dont have the build files for my kernel, and i dont... but i dont know how to get them, i downloaded the source but that doesnt have the build directory, can anyone help me out?
<21> get a livecd which has support for your card, that's the fastest
<21> I recommend mepis livecds, even the sony vayo craps were detected ok
<21> somebody kick qwigger
<22> hello guys, i have a problem i cant solve.. any1 in the mood to gimme some advice?
<21> no9: depends on the problem
<22> :)
<22> im getting "transport endpoint is not connected"...
<22> and i donno what causes it
<22> it happens at socket creation at my webserver and telnet server
<20> rak: i was hoping to get this one working
<20> but, its been awhile since ive used linux
<20> and i dont have a build directory in /lib/modules/2.6.12/ and i dont know how to get the files for it
<20> what is the build directory?
<20> do i need to recompile the kernel and maybe then it will show up?
<21> yeah, that's why I said it's easier to get a new livecd
<21> no9: some bad routing can cause that or phisical connection braking
<23> im trying to compile imagemagick but it says jpeglib.h is not present. i have compiled jpeglib with --enable-shared and jpeglib.h is present in /opt/include. ive also included /opt/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf, so my question is why cant imagemagick find it ?
<23> any help would be very appreciated
<22> rak: hmmm... could you be more specific... bad routing?
<22> it happens at geetPeer when creating socket
<22> can some other stuff (like samba) be messing with it?
<21> well, the error is because of trying to open a socket which ain't connected
<21> I can think of two possibilities: perhaps the
<21> nonblocking open code doesn't work properly on your machine, and so
<21> the socket has not opened yet. Or perhaps the server has dropped the
<21> socket while it's open.
<22> i see
<22> the problem is that same code works elsewhere
<22> its just his machine
