<0> its a firewall Distro
<1> Led-Hed if you wont answer, i cant help
<0> I installed on a 1g flash drive
<0> oh, sorry didnt see that ?
<1> a flash drive is NOT an hdd
<2> Led-Hed : the best and most 'safe' way to move to a larger drive is as follows: a) attach the new drive, b) create partitions/filesystems as you wish, in the same order, as on the old drive [sizes of course can be changed], c) copy files over with cp/rsync, d) shutdown, and replace the old drive with the new drive, e) boot to rescue media and get the lilo reinstalled
<0> 1g -> 2g approx
<2> god, i hope he knows he's killing that drive :)
<1> not likely
<0> 300,000+ write cycles
<1> do NOT put swap on the flash
<1> nor tmp
<0> swapoff -a. only some logging
<1> logging is not good either
<0> cant do anything about it.
<1> wrong
<0> if it goes so be it. its a $67 piece of hardware
<1> and you have money to burn?
<0> it wont go that fast.
<3> BUY MORE RAM you tool.
<0> I've been using the 1g for 2 years now
<0> no sign of problems
<4> morning Dagmar
<3> Of course not.
<3> You won't get any explicit errors out of the thumbdrive, it'll just give you corrupted data back
<4> Dagmar: I've tried to run a 2.4 kernel like you suggested yesterday. The problem persists - gkrellm is still segfaulting.
<2> uhmm, doesn't that flash technology actually prevent from corruption?
<0> ok, so I've already cloned the 1g -> 2g. I'm thinking that I can boot a rescue disc. delete partitions 2-4 on the 2g drive. Re-create partitions 2-4 (only larger) and cp the data.
<2> as in, when a cell goes bad, it gets marked as readonly, but it retains the value?
<0> ananke: yes
<3> HowardTheCoward: Okay, so that shoots the idea that it's the kernel, so now you get to compare the differences between the two machines
<3> I've never heard anything to confirm or deny that, but it's still dumb to be using that for swap
<3> You can buy *actual RAM* for about the same money
<4> Dagmar: I've tried 2.4 kernel on the same box
<4> not on another one
<3> ...which will work quite a bit faster.
<3> HowardTheCoward: Oh, I thought you had a second machine it doesn't segfault on
<4> Dagmar: that was yesterday, then I went home and I've tried 2.4 on the same box which had the problem
<0> will cp * /mnt/new-partition work? or are there other options I should use, say to preserve file permissions and attributes?
<2> Led-Hed : man cp
<3> THe manpage tells what they all do
<2> Led-Hed : or say: rsync -avP /your/old/stuff /new/stuff
<5> i'd use rsync
<0> thanks
<0> gotta go. shutting down the firewall now.. Thanks again
<6> hi all
<6> does anyone know of an xclient for linux to access a remote xserver
<7> eh?
<7> why not just use X itself
<6> how ?
<6> is it possible to have x running on my pc and at the same time access a remote Xserver
<4> Dagmar: so what I shall do next?
<8> planetgrey: see 'man xhost'
<9> Anyone program in java in here?
<10> yeah
<10> why?
<10> oh fullscreen linux in java
<4> fm: what have you done ? :P
<10> i havent been able to make that work yet sorry
<11> hehe
<12> heh, he ghas one! am about to shoot whoever raise his hand to answer ner0x :P
<12> he has gone*
<12> grr
<13> http://pastebin.com/630325 << anyone know the prob
<2> Sashi : #gentoo
<13> yea i tried
<13> ignoring me
<4> ananke: ya #gentoo is a big problem
<13> :P
<4> fm: what you would do if someone answers without raising his hand ?
<8> Sashi: why are _you_ using gentoo?
<12> HowardTheCoward, that's a million dollar question, I would still shoot him accusing he raised his hand but he is taking advantage of IRC to claim he didn't raise his hand.
<13> mjbjr, what kind of question is that
<12> Sashi, error reporting itself points to some documentation
<12> have you checked those docs?
<13> lol w/e i fixed it
<8> Sashi: that pastebin tells anyone who has enough linux experience what needs to be done... it appears you don't have enough linux experience to use gentoo... so I asked you why you're using it.
<13> im experineced but not in the source distros
<8> ok
<14> morning
<14> Is there a way to disable Konqueror's desire to scan every single sub dir for .directory files? This is causing havoc on our browsable automount maps
<14> Apparently you can create a file in the parent dir that disables this but I am unsure what that file has to contain or indeed, what it must be called
<4> fm: hmm, what about the presumption of innocence then?
<7> anyone here use exim + tls + auth ?
<15> is there any way to restore broken sound besides alsaconf?
<4> nimak: define broken sound
<15> HowardTheCoward, something alsaconf would fix
<4> nimak: describe your problem
<15> it worked a minute ago, i tried to play a video, and it stopped working
<15> sound did
<4> nimak: what program did you use?
<15> totem
<4> nimak: do you use alsa?
<15> yes
<4> what alsamixer shows? maybe the probram just muted sound
<15> nope, nothings muted
<15> xmms wont start playing the song either
<15> screw it, ill just use alsaconf
<4> nimak: and you;ll do that everytime ?
<15> yeah
<15> it works, i think
<15> thanks, though
<4> nimak: that's a bad idea
<16> o_O
<15> i thought it might have been
<4> i suggest you to figure out what your totem program does
<15> im thinking the driver is crashing
<4> and why don't you just use MPlayer like all sane people ?;)
<15> :-)
<4> nimak: I stick to MPlayer even if I know it has goto in its code :)
<16> lol
<17> HowardTheCoward: you use kernel modules, right?
<4> infi_: what do you mean?
<17> do you use kernel modules?
<4> infi_: what for?
<17> anything.
<4> yes
<4> I do use kernel modules, it's the only way to go
<17> 90% of them use goto for quick subroutine exits.
<16> lol
<17> it's actually the preferred method in kernel space.
<7> anyone ever experience exim + tls-auth being slow on send?
<4> infi_: what's the problem with using break in for/while loops?
<4> infi_: anyway, MPlayer is an app not a kernel module
<17> single point of exit. near jumps are actually quicker, when it breaks down ***embly-wise.
<17> I'm not one to defend goto, I never use it in user-space, but I am just playing devil's advocate ;)
<4> infi_: that's ok :)
<4> problem is they have goto even in main() function :D
<18> anyone here got a screenshot
<17> mplayer may use it either out of foolishness or out of speed tuning ;) video is somewhat processor intensive.
<8> stylish: why?
<4> infi_: I remember some dos ***embler for 0x86 and I also remember that you can't near jump over +-127 bytes, this is a big drawback
<15> stylish, of what?
<15> anything in particular?
<18> i like screenshots !
<17> "Error recovery is sometimes best handled with the goto statement. We normally hate to use goto, but in our opinion, this is one situation where it is useful. Careful use of goto in error situations can eliminate a lot of complicated, highly-indented "structured" logic. Thus, in the kernel, goto is often used as shown here to deal with errors." LDD3, page 33
<15> thanks, HowardTheCoward, i just figured out that my mike wasnt working because it was muted!
<17> heh
<4> infi_: errors are oddm real men use exceptions
<4> nimak: your mike ?
<15> HowardTheCoward, mic
<15> as in microphone
<4> nimak: alsa mutes everything by default when installed
<17> this is funny.
<17> $ grep -ir goto /usr/src/linux-2.6.15.6/* | wc -l
<17> 35028
<4> infi_: wc as in closet ?
<17> man wc.
<4> oh
