[07:23] <duanedesign> morning hobgoblin
[07:31] <hobgoblin> hi duanedesign
[07:44] <duanedesign> doing well hobgoblin ?
[07:45] <duanedesign> i am trying to get my website to a point I am happy with it.
[07:45] <duanedesign> its been half-assed for awhile
[07:46] <hobgoblin> yea I am not too bad ty
[07:47] <hobgoblin> I have no website, blog, facebook or anything remotely similar to telling people anything lol
[07:48] <duanedesign> hobgoblin: heh, i could see where that would be nice
[07:48] <hobgoblin> lol - nice and easy - nothing to maintain
[07:48] <hobgoblin> except an immaculate appearance - so I fail badly lmao
[07:48] <duanedesign> i have a blog, wiki, and html page. Did all 3 mostly for the experience of setting them up on my server
[07:49] <duanedesign> but the html page is too much of a pain to maintain. So I am going to make my wiki my homepage
[07:50] <duanedesign> hobgoblin: got the idea from a Debian Devs page.  http://upsilon.cc/~zack/
[07:50] <hobgoblin> good plan I assume :)

[08:34] <duanedesign> hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/

[12:39] <lukjad86> Hm, okay
[14:36] <LinuxUser3890> hello everyone
[14:36] <st4aluck> hi
[14:36] <LinuxUser3890> happy st. patricks day
[16:19] <Silver_Fox_> Hello
[16:27] <frankerad> hi, after installing ubuntu last night disk utility warns me that my hard drive has got some bad sectors, 7 of them to be precise. I'm on a one year old laptop, is this kind of wear-and-tear normal or should I be looking for a new hard drive?
[16:30] <Silver_Fox_> frankerad,  Have a look at this:  http://www.overclock.net/linux-unix/588130-ubuntu-9-10-failing-hard-disk.html#post7356544
[16:32] <frankerad> Silver_Fox_ : thanks, I'll give that a try
[17:00] <Frankerad> so I'm back again, followed the instructions from the link, but I can't run the "sudo fsck" command for my /dev/sda . It just says that the Filesystem is mounted, which it is not...
[17:01] <Silver_Fox_> Are you using a live cd Frankerad  ?
[17:01] <Frankerad> yep
[17:02] <Frankerad> tried it with the 9.10 livecd first, didn't work, so I tried it with the 8.04 livecd, that didn't work either
[17:03] <Frankerad> the response i get is: "fsck.ext2: Devise or Resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda  Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?"
[17:09] <running_rabbit07> The LiveCD automatically mounts the Swap partition. Open GParted and right click on the Swap partition and click swap-off, then try the commands from the link again.
[17:09] <running_rabbit07> As long as swap is mounted you can't scan that drive.
[17:12] <Frankerad> hm, got a different error message this time, hold on...
[17:19] <Frankerad> the command i'm trying to run is: "sudo fsck -pcfv /dev/sda" the response i'm getting is : "fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda  /dev/sda: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck wi
[17:19] <Frankerad> alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device>"
[17:19] <bodhi_zazen> Frankerad: fsck /dev/sda1
[17:20] <bodhi_zazen> I believe you need to specify a partition, not sure on that
[17:20] <bodhi_zazen> And what file system is it ?
[17:20] <bodhi_zazen> ext3 ? ext4 ? other ?
[17:20] <Frankerad> it's ext4 (2 partions, and 1 swap)
[17:21] <Frankerad> bohdi_zazen: it seems to be doing something at least... no error message yet
[17:21] <bodhi_zazen> OK
[17:21] <bodhi_zazen> and yes some bad sectors are normal
[17:22] <bodhi_zazen> Personally I use smartmontools
[17:22] <bodhi_zazen> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/monitoring-hard-disk-health-with-smartd-under-linux-or-unix-operating-systems.html
[17:22] <Frankerad> i thought so, 7 seems to be quite low... once you take in to account the number of times i've cought the powercable with my foot....
[17:23] <Frankerad> bodhi_zazen: shouldn't it be telling me it's doing something? Now I just get a blinking square beneath the command I just executed....
[17:23] <bodhi_zazen> http://www.captain.at/howto-linux-smartmontools-smartctl.php
[17:23] <bodhi_zazen> http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/monitoring-hard-disks-smart?page=0,0
[17:23] <bodhi_zazen> those links should get you started
[17:24] <bodhi_zazen> nope, linux commands are generally silent
[17:24] <bodhi_zazen> no news is good news
[17:24] <bodhi_zazen> let it run, but fsck is probably not the tool you want
[17:25] <Frankerad> thanks, i'll let it do it's thing until it says otherwise... I guess now that i've only done /dev/sda1 i'll have to do one for /dev/sda2 next?
[17:26] <Frankerad> many thanks everyone! (bodhi_zazen: i'll check out those links)
[17:27] <bodhi_zazen> Well, for bad blocks, go with smartmontools, see the linkies
[17:27] <bodhi_zazen> fsck is for the file system , not the hard drive itself, if that makes sense
[17:27] <bodhi_zazen> they are related, if you have a bad sector it can affect your file system
[17:27] <bodhi_zazen> but they are not the same thing
[17:27] <Frankerad> it does, i'll check it out
[17:28] <bodhi_zazen> most modern hard drives have mechanisms to manage bad sectors
[17:28] <bodhi_zazen> If bad sectors start affecting the file system, back up your data and get a new hard drive, lol
[17:28] <bodhi_zazen> when that starts to happen the entire HD can fail at any time
[17:29] <Frankerad> considering the current price for hard drives, a new one would be a no-brainer if I actually thought the HD was failing
[17:30] <Frankerad> remember back "in the days" when i bought an 80GB drive for around 120 bucks
[18:48] <michae1> I went through the gui ( System > Preferences > Network Connections ) and used the command line ( sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces ) to assign a static ip to the box ( used 255 as subnet and usual 192.168.1.1 as gateway ). after a soft and hard restart, the box can't see anything, internally or externally. anybody care to advise what I did wrong?
[19:23] <drubin> michae1: You would need to pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces
[19:23] <michae1> will look that up...
[19:23] <drubin> michae1: also is there a reason you edited your /etc/network/interfaces by hand and not using the gui'?
[19:23] <drubin> michae1: http://pastebin.com
[19:24] <michae1> drubin: no reason specifically. when it didn't work through the gui, figured I'd try bullying it. it still won!!!
[19:24] <drubin> michae1: hehe
[19:25] <michae1> drubin: great, now I got you AND the machine laughing at me.
[19:25] <drubin> michae1: No not laughing at you.
[19:26] <drubin> it was the "it still won" part it was clever wording I liked itt
[19:26] <michae1> drubin: that's me. if i can't make fun of myself, then no one can!
