<0> sudo swapon -a
<0> swapon: cannot stat /dev/hdc6: No such file or directory
<1> ablyss: then your fstab is wrong
<0> k
<0> gonna go look into fstab :-)
<2> LjL, frogzoo, thanks again for your advice. I'm pretty certain now that there's nothing sinister going on with my system.
<0> ah ha.. found a nasty fstab settings I had done
<1> soundray: but I don't believe in solar induced events, so...
<3> soundray: certain like what?
<3> soundray: certain like, you run rkhunter, it gaves you failures, and you're still connected with the same machine? ;)
<2> LjL, certain enough to wait for the next incident.
<3> soundray: well, can you tell us what you find out?
<2> LjL, rkhunter and chkrootkit gave me a clean p***.
<3> trappist: have you tinkered with tunepimp?
<4> *yaaaaaaay* Firefox is alive!
<1> soundray: do you have any open ports?
<2> LjL, so did everything I did with smartctl
<3> ghb: cool :)
<2> frogzoo, ssh
<3> soundray: what about memtest?
<5> still struggling to get the ati drivers to work on ubuntu, my last try was a week ago, i installed fedora and the drivers, everything was running fine, i want ubuntu, reinstalled now! could the fact that is used NOAPIC and vga=771 have anything to do with the problems with the drivers?
<4> LjL: Thanks for the help, even though it seems I'm becoming a regular here. ;)
<2> LjL, will do when I boot next time.
<6> LjL: nah, not yet
<0> frogzoo, how would tell ubuntu not to use /dev/hdb7 as swap ? it is actually a reiser FS
<3> soundray: so what is it that's not normal?
<7> ablyss: take it out of fstab or comment it out?
<8> I want to backup my ubuntu,ive looked at backuppc which is too complex for simple job and partimage which does not work unless I unmount the partition
<1> ablyss: you do realise that mkswap clobbers data, don't you?
<2> LjL, after the fsck, everything came up fine, no problems right now.
<0> frogzoo, i haven't a clue
<9> what is the dev for a floppy drive?
<7> fd0
<1> ablyss: oh man...
<3> soundray: oh, sorry
<10> exit
<7> fd1,fd2...
<3> soundray: i misunderstood you completely
<10> wooops
<0> frogzoo, what data is being clobberd?
<3> soundray: i read your first sentence like you were sure there was *something* sinister going on
<1> ablyss: /dev/hdb7
<7> ablyss: if you did mkswap /dev/hdb7 say buhbye data
<0> frogzoo, that's okay.. was a mandrake partition :P
<11> how do i install ubuntu on a win98 machine?
<11> do restart in dos mode?
<2> LjL, :) I was wondering why you were still so inquisitive.
<7> lowlevel format fabbione
<7> or just boot the cd
<3> soundray: still don't forget to give memtest a run at next boot... it will never really complete, but after a few minutes and two or three p***es, you'll have like a 90% probability of your memory being fine
<12> Any Canadians here using ca.archive.ubuntu.com today?
<1> ablyss: you just need to configure /etc/fstab for the correct swap partition, mkswap on that partition, & swapon -a, or reboot
<7> ? etsb that is
<11> i cant seem to boot from cd?
<13> ahoy mateys
<1> etsb: -> bios settings
<3> soundray: really, it's a matter of minutes to be sure. i've had a windows system running for weeks with a bad ram modules, and i couldn't explain the crashes, until i had an epiphany and run memtest ;)
<2> LjL, I did a long memtest as part of the burnin when the machine was new. Do these things occur within months of building a new sys?
<9> how do you format a floppy disk?
<11> frogzoo : i cant seem to get into bios setting either
<11> frogzoo : what key is it to get into bios?
<3> soundray: yes, that's very possible. i think these things either occur when the system is too old or when it's very new
<0> well what is better having 28 Gigs of swap on /dev/hdb7 or 2Gigs on /dev/hdb6
<14> Hello, just switched from Vector Could someone give me a hand with a sound card??
<1> etsb: lol - I have absolutely no idea
<11> frogzoo : on a windows 98 machine
<2> mattwestm, try fdformat
<3> soundray: they're less likely to occur during mid-age, so to say
<11> does anyone know?
<11> how do i get to bios on a win 98 machine?
<8> when i use windows I can copy c: to d: and it gives me a full backup apart from what in swop memory,, can I just copy / to a spare drive and then copy back if problems with linux?
<1> ablyss: don't use 28gig for swap - performance will actually suffer - go /dev/hdb6
<0> usually DEL, F1, Execute keys
<13> etsb, it depends on the motherboard manufacturer
<15> etsb, the fact it's 98 makes no difference
<0> thansk frogzoo
<11> ic
<3> ablyss: "execute"?
<0> gonna reboot then.. can't seem to shake it off /dev/hdb7
<11> so know wastrel midwinter what do i do?
<11> now*
<1> ablyss: swapoff /dev/hdb7
<2> LjL, well, this is the most stable hardware I've ever had -- runs continuously (no big loads, mind you) with two to three users and a small NFS server task.
<0> frogzoo.. nice
<15> etsb, my usual method is just to press as many keys as a I can before boot ;) (or look up your motherboard and try and find out..)
<0> execute... i meant escape key..
<11> midwinter : ok..ill try that :)
<13> etsb, try delete, esc, f10, other esc keys
<0> 15 years of computer hobbying and from day 1 I always called it execut key.. bad habbit hard to break
<13> etsb, or look it up on google if you know your mobo manufacturer or what bios you're running
<11> wastrel midwinter can i restart in dos and from there go to bios?
<13> no
<3> soundray: and still, what you experienced earlier is not quite normal. a few minutes of memtest won't hurt, that's all i'm saying - i'm not wishing you doom and gloom, i'm sure memtest won't find a thing :)
<3> ablyss: hah
<16> Hello, this is Bill Gates. If possible, I would like to talk about affiliation plans with Microsoft & Ubuntu. :-)
<11> wastrel : no idea what bios its using..doesnt say at start up
<3> billgates: you've finally decided you want to offer customers an operating system?
<17> billgates: sorry bill, we're with Google :P
<18> etsb are you using a HP or Compaq or similar?
<15> yeah, I always wanted a linux native version of IE.
<8> how do guys make a complete back up of your PC?
<11> navarone : an old dell system
<19> billgates: can you port notepad for us?
<11> navarone : p3
<20> an IE version? what for?
<17> lol _jason
<2> tatters, partimage is a good way
<18> etsb...any badging on the case...like model number?
<3> midwinter: not native, but it runs fairly on wine, give it a try some time
<16> Well. I'm using Ubuntu right now, and we've been planning to affiliate with Ubuntu. We've also been thinking about bringing WIndows Media Player 11 to Debian and Ubuntu.
<8> soundray only problem is I have to unmount the partiton , how can I do that when its running on the partition?
<15> LjL, I was actually joking.. but I sadly do use it in vmware :|
<11> navarone : dimension4100
<2> LjL, doesn't hurt to run memtest overnight, does it?
<3> billgates: please don't :)
<21> How can I install grub from a rescue disk?
<2> tatters, live CD?
<8> hmm id like anautomated daily weekly kinda thing
<22> crimsun: Don't you remember me? /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state does not change apart from the charging/discharging status.
<11> billgates : we have no need for your Windows Media Player II
<3> soundray: it definitely doesn't, memtest needs a *long* time to really find out the subtler errors (if you look on the site, they'll probably mention *days*, not one night). so if you can leave it on during the night without much of a h***le, by all means do it
<2> billgates, any discussion is futile until you place all Windows sources under GPL v3
<23> Hey, I have no blank CDs and the ubuntu installer refuses to mount i dvd with the cd iso on. Possible to fix this?
<3> soundray: though if it *is* somewhat a h***le, don't do it, i don't think one night of memtest is really warranted here, in a practical sense
<3> midwinter: well perhaps you actually could switch to wine then, at least it integrates better
<13> i ate too many cookies and now i don't feel so good
<3> midwinter: actually, firefox on wine looks better than native firefox here ;)
<2> LjL, I'm just thinking of setting it off and going to sleep. Watching memtest becomes incredibly tedious after the first 55 seconds.
<24> i have a mac running minimal ubuntu. how do i get it to find my internet?
<3> soundray: oh. really? then it must be something wrong with me... just kidding :)
<15> LjL, yeah i'm not surprised about ff.. as for wine I tend to use 64 bit, so it's a bit messier..
<3> midwinter: oic
<16> Does anyone have ideas of what Microsoft can bring for Ubuntu?
<3> midwinter: though i actually use konqueror anyway, mind you :)
<15> blue screens?
<8> a good backup utility?
<25> a good one
<3> billgates: they could drop stupid "trusted computing" ideas, and open their file formats (see Word, etc)
<8> system restore?
<26> visio
<17> the 'your capslock is on' warning on the screensaver wake up screen
<15> hehe
<3> tatters: nah. a versioning file system would be way better, i'd really like one
<27> how do I get rid of this X-enabled vim and back to good 'ol console vim ?
<8> sry whats a versioning file system>
<8> ?
<11> navarone : any ideas?
<7> there is no blue screen (red now i hear)
<24> i restarted linux after install and now it just stays at configuring network interfaces.
<3> tatters: ever used CVS?
