<0> i'm getting kernel panic errors, both with the installed os (ubuntu breezy) and any live cds i have (mepis, knoppix, dsl...)
<1> Iam8up|lappy sorry, i failed to recognise that you are a user?
<1> :)
<0> i'm tried to run the simply mepis memtest but it takes me back to the mepis boot menu screen.
<1> Iam8up|lappy look on freshmeat
<2> uh...an irc user...yes...overly obsessive crack user, no...
<3> anacaona: I'm immediately suspecting hardware flakage
<1> Iam8up|lappy okidoke
<2> right...
<0> jim: yeah, that's what i think too
<1> i never infer drugs
<0> just wanted to know if there's any way i could see what's the problem
<0> if its memory, motherboard or hard drive
<4> Quiznos: you always state them explicitly?
<1> nah
<3> anacaona: what if you try booting something else like windows
<3> also you could use memtest86
<0> only one os on the hard drive
<3> ok, I guess you're right about the possibility it could be the drive
<3> but that's a little unlikey
<5> highly.
<0> yeah, i don't think its the hard drive
<3> I think it's more like memory, mobo, video
<3> somewhere in there
<6> ok bbl
<6> exit
<0> hmm
<6> oh come on terminal
<0> can't find my rescue floppy!
<5> ...
<1> cuse a cd
<1> use
<5> you want us to help looking for it?
<0> none of the cds will boot!
<1> now you are sqweered
<0> kernel panics, every last one!
<1> sqwered
<0> yes, very much so screwed.
<1> sqwrered
<5> squarely screwed.
<3> but didn't you say you have other machines?
<7> how do i display a HD's SMART properties?
<0> yup, i'll just hook up the hard drive to this machine
<1> mm, just remrembered that enterprise is on tonight
<3> since it's probably not the drive, yeah, you could at least backup whatever's important
<0> yeah.
<0> make a backup.
<0> buy some new ram and see if that's the ish.
<0> don't know what i'll do if its the motherboard.
<3> or swap ram
<0> piece of crap pc.
<5> ram is alwasy the prime suspect.
<0> you're right. could just swap the ram from this machine to test it.
<5> nr 2 would be the mainboard IMO:
<3> can you swap ram between machines?
<0> yup, same format.
<0> 233mhz
<3> cool, so you could rule the ram in or out as the problem
<8> hey guys
<0> thanks for the help guys
<1> yw
<0> i hate the machines we have
<3> yeah, sorry to hear that
<0> cheap toasters
<0> machines where even the PROCESSOR is integrated in the motherboard.
<0> if i had known i would have never paid for such crap.
<2> anacaona - stop calling them toasters...people are catching on to that, that's insulting...
<3> to toasters :)
<2> ahhh
<8> Grrrrrrrrr
<2> if anyone knows about installing new hdds to linux, can you tell me if this is a good page to follow? http://linux.ncl.ac.uk/format/
<8> anyone here use DivFix with Linux?
<8> it keeps on seg faulting on me
<9> can someone tell me what /dev a USB keyboard can usualy be found at? i installed a system and my FB doesnt work so i had to setup X with ssh but now i can do anything with my mouse/keyboard
<10> scotepi: /dev/input something perhaps?
<3> Iam8up|lappy: you could do that, or you could have it as an lvm pv
<2> jim - huh?
<3> they're suggesting to cover the entire drive with an ext3 partition
<9> Codename_V, nope.. the only onces that i can cat are mice/mouse0 but i dont get anyoutput when i move my mouse
<2> i'd like to do that...
<3> like I say, you could do that
<3> OR
<2> ext3 for sure, but the number of paritions..dunno
<11> X.Org "Cannot establish any listening sockets." I have Unix domain sockets and TCP/IP enabled in the kernel. Please help.
<12> hmm
<3> you could cover the entire drive to have it be an LVM physical volume
<9> Codename_V, i have a G5 and G15, they work fine off a boot cd but not on a install
<2> jim large volume m...?
<3> that way you put off a LOT of decisions to later
<9> i have usb mouse/keyboard support enabled in the bios and kernel
<3> Logical Volume Manager
<5> Drac|Laptop: have you been messing with iptables?
<2> ..what's that..?
<1> Iam8up|lappy hold
<3> it lets you resize partitions much more easily
<9> Codename_V, brb need to restart x
<2> why would i need to resize partitions?
<3> and move them and create/destroy
<3> when you run out of room
<2> well..this is a secondary drive
<13> n8
<2> my first drive is running out of room
<3> you can also have what looks to linux like a partition span several drives
<1> Iam8up|lappy that's a simple page and correct
<3> I'
<3> m just saying you have choices
<2> that's kool, so is it a good/bad/dunno idea to make this new drive one big partition (like in windows)?
<2> course i do, that's why i'm using linux
<3> well not too bad
<1> Iam8up|lappy if you cant back up your data from a partition in one gulp, then the partition is too big
<3> it depends on how you're using your machine
<2> uhm
<3> if it's personal, you could go ahead and mount the drive on say /home
<2> it's a server for games, apache, and a personal learning tool (obviously not too much, though =)
<0> .people are catching on to that, that's insulting...
<1> Iam8up|lappy all data is personal.
<1> dont distinguish it that way
<0> Iam8up|lappy: honestly, never even knew other folks called them that.
<3> if it's a server, then there are things you should do to protect certain aspects of the system from becoming full
<2> well..it's a 6gb drive, and it's nearly full
<1> compress some files
<1> bzip2
<2> i've had my solaris 9 sparc box try to run on a full drive, and i've learned my lesson =(
<3> that is, if it's serving say thousands of people, several hundred at a time
<2> theres not much to compress...
<1> if you cant use sparc, i can!
<2> jim - lol, like 10, 1 a time
<1> i'd love to get a sparc
<14> jim are you insane?
<1> get/be given
<3> unkn0wn2u: as much as a fairly experienced unix admin can be, I guess
<14> jim thats what i hear, from you but thats what i hear
<3> unkn0wn2u: I don't really understand where any of that is coming from... but that's ok. you can be specific if you want, but if not, isn't the conversation over?
<11> treach: No.
<5> Drac|Laptop: ok, I was suspecting you had shut down the loopback.
<14> jim what kind of server uses a single 6GB harddrive and serves 1000's of people?
<5> Drac|Laptop: you *do* have a loopback interface?
<3> unkn0wn2u: one he's adding storage to? :)
<2> lol? how do you shutdown the loopback???
<3> remember servers before 1-gig drives were even available?
<1> btw, adult american bits of the channel: the internal revenue code of the 1920s was repealed. it has been amended several times since. however, an amendment cannot revive a repealed law.
<14> jim its 2006 now
<3> that doesn't mean old servers cannot worki
<3> the fact is I had no idea what he wants to do with his machine
<3> so I asked
<1> a repealed law is a dead law.
<5> Iam8up|lappy: iptables -i lo -j DROP && iptables -o lo -j DROP .. :p
<2> lol...
<15> hi guys
<15> anyone here with a dell optiplex gx260 ?
