<0> Sales are done by drones, not men.
<1> It is possible to set the read-ahead on hard drives using hdparm, hdparm -A1 -a256 /dev/hda, how do I view the current read-ahead setting? hdparm -vI /dev/hda does not show this?
<1> -va works not much
<1> nevermind*
<2> hi all
<2> i'd like to know the best way to configure a adsl conection, can i use netconfig?
<2> or pppoe-setup is better?
<3> N-I-C-K: depends on your distribution and the type of ADSL connection.
<2> Blis***, i use slackware 10.1
<3> N-I-C-K: and what kind of connection have you got?
<2> Blis***, i don't know how to explain
<0> N-I-C-K, what kind of info did you provider give you in order to use the service ?
<0> Username/p***word ? IP/netmask/gateway ?
<3> N-I-C-K: first of all, have you got a modem or a configurable router/gw with an Ethernet interface?
<3> N-I-C-K: because odds are you got a router with Ethernet, and then thats the thing you need to configure for ADSL.
<2> ant384, ip/netmask/gateway
<2> actually i use a network conection that i need the ip/gateway/netmask and dns
<2> the new one, will not need the dns
<0> netconfig will be ok then.
<2> ty
<0> Use the pppoe (PPP over Ethernet, like using a phone line, only via the ethernet wire) thing if/when you get a user/p*** combination.
<2> is it good to adsl conections?
<4> Yo
<4> bleargh
<5> hi, ive used debian for a long time, but today something weird happened... when i use the kernel 2.6.15-1-686, one of my both hard drives wont mount, it says that either
<5> wait... misclicked enter :S
<5> it says that either the hd is busy or that its an invalid path
<5> the data is still there, i checked it with a live cd
<5> anyone knows wtf has happened?
<0> Well, did you unmount it first ? (also, do you have the filesystem compiled in the kernel/ filesystem module loaded ?)
<6> does your older kernel image still boot?
<5> yup
<5> but its ****ed up in other ways :)
<5> (the other kernel)
<6> do you have the exact error text and boot parameters? thios seems like an unusual problem...
<5> ant: the filesystem mounts at startup, but by some reason it didnt now
<5> i shall see...
<5> Seppuku:~# mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /disk2
<5> mount: /dev/hdb1 already mounted or /disk2 busy
<5> (yup, seppuku, thats my box :)
<5> but /disk2 isnt busy
<5> and /dev/hdb1 isnt mounted
<5> Seppuku:~# umount /dev/hdb1
<5> umount: /dev/hdb1: not mounted
<5> weird :S
<5> there aint excactly any error... because when i start the computer, it says that hdb1 is getting mounted
<5> its just that when i ls it, its nothing there
<5> i should maybe reinstall the kernel or something like that
<5> ill try it
<5> thanks anyway
<7> hi....when you go to say gnoppix or ubuntu's site to download from an ftp site, you get a bunch of files, but no iso file. Do they intend for you to actually build your own iso file?
<6> jason_: no, those are for installing software or the system. the iso images are in a different area
<6> *for
<7> i thought really the only way to install a distro was through an iso disk
<6> only if you don't have a bootable base system already (but even then you could netboot an installer, etc.)... but everything else can be grabbed off the net
<7> what are all the files under Parent Directory on the botoom of: http://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/linux/ubuntu-releases/5.10/
<7> ?
<6> cd images
<6> notice the links?
<8> WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT???
<9> All that sudden, when I try to mount a dvd disc, I get this error: "mount: /dev/cdrom: can't read superblock" does anyone know why this is may be happening?
<6> Yamabushi: disc is damaged or drive needs cleaning or you're using the wrong filesystem type
<6> oops
<6> Yawgmoth7: ^
<9> :P
<9> Well, I know the disc isn't damaged...the cd drive is good.
<9> I guess maybe I am trying to use the wrong filesystem type
<9> I am trying to mount a blank DVD disk
<7> triskelios, yes i saw the links, but i was referring to the stuff on the bottom of the page
<9> Well, just to make sure, let me try mounting a different cd drive
<6> blank disks don't have any data on them. you can't mount them
<10> grr
<6> jason_: the links point to the same files, obviously
<10> why in the world would you want to mount a blank disk anyway?
<9> That's what I thought. But, then something got my thinking otherwise.
<9> Okay, well, now that I have that confirmed. I have to get xcdroast working :)
<9> Which isn't wanting to work, It's not detecting the cd drive, but if I open another app that uses the CD drive (such as the Gnome CD Master) it does find it.
<9> Wait
<9> idea*
<9> Nope
<9> That didn't work.
<9> Hmm
<9> I wonder why this isn't working
<9> This makes no sense, I can mount a CD with the device /dev/hda, but If I put in that device with xcdroast, it says that it isn't a device
<11> anyone get xgl to work?
<9> Well, it said the device was not found
<12> greetings
<12> what program do I use to enable the line-in? for recording?
<12> someone told me an app months ago and it did the trick.. but forget what it's called
<13> anyone konw a text editor coomand that can match lines according to a pattern, and delete them through a whole document?
<12> in nano just ^W^R
<12> ^ begin control
<12> jst enter the pattern and for replace put nothing
<14> I forgot how to use CrossOver to install an app. Is there a commend that starts CrossOver after installation?
<14> never mind. :)
<14> how can I find out partition type of a drive that's already mounted?
<14> fdisk returns 'Unknown' system/
<0> Try cfdisk.
<15> i've got a fat32 partition that's not reacting as i expect when i mount it. i can only write to it as root, despite the fact that i've got it mounted as 766 root:root
<15> anyone have any ideas on this?
<16> urgh, is there a way to recover deleted files off reiserfs? it was just deleted 2 seconds ago by mistake ;/
<15> someone told me once that if you run strings on the actualy device, you can sometimes recover plain text files that you've recently deleted, but i have no idea if that's true or not
<15> actual*
<17> joh6nn: man mount.
<18> well, the man says that by default all fat32 fs are mounted as being writable by root only (i'd have to check to see the exact wording)
<18> but i've already modified mtab and fstab to have my fat32 partition mounting as 766: which unless i've grossly misunderstood something, should be globally readable and writable, no?
<18> or is there something further that you're saying i missed?
<17> joh6nn: you've grossly misunderstood what the man page says.
<14> I don't see why cfdisk would recognize a disk when fdisk can't.
<14> how can I find out partition type of a drive that's already mounted? fdisk returns 'Unknown' system, but I can read and write to the disk (dev/sda1.)
<18> ok, Skunky, what have i misunderstood then?
<18> i've got dmask set to 0122 and fmask set to 0011, and i left uid and gid alone
<18> that should be 766 for files and 755 for directories, right?
<19> I can't seem to get virtual terminals working correctly. I'm using FC4. WHne I hit ctrl+alt+F1, my screen goes blank. I just killed firefox sucessfully with a virtual terminal, but had to do it blind. Where should I start looking for reasons why I can't see the virtual terminal?
<19> I saw a couple of posts on the net, but no solutions yet.
<20> could be a problem with your x drivers
<19> Even though gnome and kde work fine? Is the virtual terminal still part of X?
<20> no, but if your x drivers don't relinquish correctly when you switch you'll end up not getting a proper text mode
<19> Is this something in xorg.conf that i'd be looking for?
<21> Hey, Having some trouble with installing debian 3.1. I get the error: debootstrap error couldn't download initscripts while installing the base system. I'm using the network install (the 180mb version). Can anyone help me out?
<0> craigb***1976, does your keyboard have an F-lock key ?
<19> Not that I know of. If it specifically says f lock on it, then I odn't have one.
<19> maybe I should clarify; I'm not sure if I wrote my questions well enough. Virtual terminal does work, I just can't see it. I can log in and do things (like pkill firefox)
<0> Ok. (some keyboards have a key that activates the Function keys, and if they're not activated, there's prolly no keymap out there to translate that key code into something ctrl+alt can use)
<0> Are you using any framebuffer for the consoles ?
<19> I just read somewhere about a debian 3.1 installation where the same type of problem was encountered. I'm trying the fix posted there.
<0> Good luck, then.
<19> ant384, I have no idea. This is in xorg.conf, the framebuffers option?
<0> No, it's usually an argument p***ed to the kernel at boot.
<19> and if my Xorg.0.log says things about framebuffers (updating allocation size---linear----so on and so forth) then I'm using them?
<19> well, I'll try what I have and see. Or not see, depending on how well it works....
<14> Do I need to 'eject' firewire drive after unmounting it?
<22> hi guys I have tar file that was split in 3 files taraa tarab tarac..then I
<22> bzip2'ed the 3 files
<22> so..if I just want a big tar.bz2 I need to bzcat tara* | bzip2 right?
<23> hi.. anyone can recommend a distibuted monitoring tool.. traffic, cpu usage, disk failure.. and such stuff.. with maybe a central web interface or something?
<24> Snadder : well, there's nagios for example
<24> i'm not sure how you expect disk failure to be monitored
<23> with smardmoontools?
<23> t
<24> that's in theory. in practice, often when a disk failure happens, the os will do a lot of unpredictable things
<24> anyway. do you want to monitor for thresholds, or do you want to monitor trends?
<23> yes.. but smarmoontools can predict how many hours an hd have left
<24> yeah, yeah. it can also predict what weather will be on tuesday of next year
<24> if you really believe that prediction can be accurate, you're delusional
<23> I just want to get as much info as possible... as easy as possible;)
<24> you haven't answered my question
<23> I guess I want thresholds..
<24> then look at nagios
