| bradm | head_victim: you got one of the ezcap dvb tuners from zazz? | 04:36 |
|---|---|---|
| head_victim | bradm: nope, I have a winfast dtv gold | 04:51 |
| bradm | head_victim: ah, just saw one of your older posts | 04:52 |
| head_victim | MIght be rebranded? | 04:52 |
| bradm | its possible | 04:53 |
| head_victim | Oh you mean the dab one? | 04:53 |
| bradm | yeah | 04:53 |
| head_victim | Yeah it was crap, got the winfast and bought an iriver b30 to use for dab | 04:53 |
| head_victim | http://www.digitalnow.com.au/product_pages/Dabby.html | 04:54 |
| head_victim | That's what I did have | 04:54 |
| bradm | ahh, okey | 04:54 |
| bradm | just found http://www.turnovfree.net/~stybla/linux/v4l-dvb/lv5tdlx/, which was rather useful | 04:54 |
| head_victim | The winfast one is around 40 bucks a pop and "Just works". There is a modified firmware for it if you don't want the dmesg erros | 04:56 |
| bradm | not really much point for me having dab at this time anyway, no broadcasts here | 05:03 |
| head_victim | Yeah I spent 80 on that dab one and then sat it on the bench 2 weeks in. | 05:04 |
| head_victim | Bought the other and use it with me-tv | 05:04 |
| bradm | I'm finally getting play with this one some more, looks like I might have a working module for it now | 05:05 |
| head_victim | Supposedly the one I had was working under linux for dtv but not dab but I couldn't get either working | 05:06 |
| head_victim | That was mainly due to the device reporting as an afatech devices when it was really an rtl | 05:06 |
| head_victim | Which I found out after I'd ordered the winfast so didn't poke too much more into it sorry | 05:07 |
| bradm | no worries, I'm making progress with this anyway | 05:08 |
| bradm | awesome, the scanning has found some channels, taking forever | 05:09 |
| head_victim | Cool I gotta head afk for a while again if you need anything just leave a ping :) | 05:12 |
| chesty | anyone know why /usr/lib/evolution/e-addressbook-factory wakes up every so often and causes huge amounts of traffic to syd01s01-in-f104.1e100.net:443? | 06:58 |
| somethinginteres | anyone know how to get Chat accounts to be set as online on boot? I've got FB chat set up but it's always offline until I explicitly turn it to online using Chat Accounts in the Me Menu | 07:15 |
| elky | somethinginteres, you have to do that through the empathy application under Applications -> Internet -> Empathy Instant Messaging | 07:23 |
| elky | 'automatically connect on startup' seems checked by default in it. | 07:23 |
| somethinginteres | elky: hmm seems to be checked on mine also. Maybe empathy isn't set to start on boot | 07:27 |
| elky | somethinginteres, possibly. That's System -> Preferences -> Startup applications | 07:27 |
| somethinginteres | elky: thanks for that | 07:28 |
| elky | It doesn't appear to be in mine, and mine is a fresh install | 07:28 |
| somethinginteres | elky: Added it now, and I found a command switch to allow it to launch silently on startup which is exactly what I am after "empathy --start-hidden" | 07:29 |
| elky | tops | 07:30 |
| lano | hey all | 09:35 |
| lano | can someone help me out with this please mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking. | 09:36 |
| chesty | lano: big big guess, but is portmap installed both ends? I found installing portmap and nfs server on one end it all that's needed | 09:51 |
| === tremmons is now known as iflema | ||

| esc_phr34k | clear | 12:10 |
| chesty | esc_phr34k: did you see my reply earlier tonight? | 12:13 |
| esc_phr34k | chesty, i have just now thanks. well see i have a qnap server so i cant really install portmap on it. how ever portmap is running on my ubuntu | 12:27 |
| esc_phr34k | i have narrowed it down to statd that doesnt start on boot | 12:27 |
| esc_phr34k | and soon as i start that all works well | 12:27 |
| esc_phr34k | i just cant seem to figure it out why my statd want start even thos chkconfig says its turned on to start on boot | 12:28 |
| chesty | chkconfig, hey | 12:29 |
| esc_phr34k | yes why | 12:31 |
| chesty | didn't realise ubuntu had it, does it handle upstart? | 12:34 |
| esc_phr34k | u cant install it | 12:34 |
| esc_phr34k | it does not come with it by default | 12:34 |
| esc_phr34k | i have not used upstart but chkconfig is almost the same it handels the start and stop of the services | 12:35 |
| esc_phr34k | i have tried bum as well but same thing i am not sure why it want start on boot but when u run it manual all works fine | 12:36 |
| chesty | what version of ubuntu? | 12:37 |
| esc_phr34k | 10.10 | 12:37 |
| chesty | then you're using upstart | 12:37 |
| esc_phr34k | i am not familiar with it | 12:38 |
| chesty | me neither | 12:39 |
| esc_phr34k | so u have any other clue to my problem | 12:40 |
| chesty | /etc/init.d is being phased out, so if statd is handled the new way, chkconfig might not handle it | 12:40 |
| esc_phr34k | her so what is the best way to check then | 12:40 |
| chesty | /etc/init/statd.conf | 12:42 |
| chesty | if i'm reading that file right, it starts when portmap starts | 12:43 |
| esc_phr34k | i have noticed that as well but portmap starts fine | 12:45 |
| esc_phr34k | even when i check the status of it it says it runing | 12:45 |
| chesty | ps aux | grep portmap ? | 12:47 |
| esc_phr34k | root@babylon:/etc/init.d# ps aux |grep portmap | 12:48 |
| esc_phr34k | daemon 853 0.0 0.0 1960 540 ? Ss 20:53 0:00 portmap | 12:48 |
| esc_phr34k | root 5431 0.0 0.0 4012 764 pts/0 S+ 23:48 0:00 grep --color=auto portmap | 12:48 |
| chesty | double check /etc/default/nfs-common that statd isn't turned off, but it's not by default, so that's probably not the problem | 12:50 |
| esc_phr34k | u are right it looks like by default it is switched off | 12:52 |
| esc_phr34k | man i was even there before and didnt see the statd option | 12:52 |
| esc_phr34k | feel like an idiot now | 12:53 |
| chesty | hey? if it doesn't say "no" exactly, then it's yes | 12:53 |
| chesty | even empty is yes | 12:53 |
| esc_phr34k | ah okay | 12:53 |
| esc_phr34k | well it didnt have anything next to it | 12:53 |
| chesty | same here | 12:54 |
| chesty | ps aux | grep statd ; stop portmap ; ps aux | grep statd ; start portmap ; ps aux | grep statd | 12:54 |
| esc_phr34k | statd 2215 0.0 0.0 2096 828 ? Ss 20:56 0:00 rpc.statd -L | 12:55 |
| esc_phr34k | root 5598 0.0 0.0 4008 764 pts/0 S+ 23:55 0:00 grep --color=auto statd | 12:55 |

| esc_phr34k | root 5606 0.0 0.0 4008 764 pts/0 S+ 23:55 0:00 grep --color=auto statd | 12:55 |

| chesty | could you just double check statd isn't running atm | 12:55 |
| chesty | status statd is the new upstart way | 12:56 |
| esc_phr34k | thanks i was just trying to figure it out | 12:57 |
| esc_phr34k | root@babylon:/# status statd | 12:57 |
| esc_phr34k | statd start/running, process 5625 | 12:57 |
| chesty | I have no idea, if portmap is set to run on boot, then everything should be fine | 12:58 |
| esc_phr34k | how can i check that to be 100$ | 12:58 |
| esc_phr34k | 100% | 12:58 |
| esc_phr34k | that portmap is started on boot | 12:58 |
| esc_phr34k | i mean chkconfig says it is | 12:58 |
| chesty | /etc/init/portmap.conf | 12:58 |
| chesty | yeah, I'm not sure chkconfig would work for portmap | 12:59 |
| chesty | ifconfig lo ? | 12:59 |
| chesty | that's configured, right? | 12:59 |
| esc_phr34k | but /etc/init/portmap.conf is a file how do u check wit that | 12:59 |
| esc_phr34k | well i am getting static ip from my router | 13:00 |
| chesty | read it, it's new to me too, but it's basically understandable. the "start on" line would be my guess | 13:00 |
| chesty | but you have an interface called lo too, right? | 13:00 |
| chesty | you should | 13:00 |
| esc_phr34k | so in ubuntu 10 there is no simply way like chkconfig to check if it starts on boot | 13:01 |
| esc_phr34k | yeah i do | 13:01 |
| chesty | i know as much upstart as you do | 13:01 |
| esc_phr34k | aha okay | 13:02 |
| chesty | /etc/default/portmap exists? | 13:02 |
| esc_phr34k | yep | 13:02 |
| chesty | maybe check the boot logs? | 13:05 |
| esc_phr34k | i have nothing that i can see but i will check again | 13:05 |
| esc_phr34k | went through dmesg etc and | 13:05 |
| chesty | i don't think boot jobs are logged in dmesg | 13:07 |
| esc_phr34k | i have check then var/log | 13:07 |
| esc_phr34k | as well | 13:07 |
| chesty | grep "init: statd" /var/log/syslog (assuming you've rebooted recently) | 13:11 |
| esc_phr34k | it just says teminated with status 1 that is what i was googling all night basicly | 13:13 |
| esc_phr34k | but dunno what it means | 13:13 |
| chesty | yeah, that means it didn't start. there is a bug open for it | 13:13 |
| chesty | try stop statd; start statd | 13:13 |
| chesty | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/484209 | 13:13 |
| esc_phr34k | thanks mate | 13:15 |
| esc_phr34k | will give it a try | 13:15 |
| chesty | from reading that bug, it's only fixed in lucid | 13:15 |
| chesty | but if you edit /etc/init/statd.conf | 13:16 |
| chesty | change status portmap | grep -q start/running to status portmap | grep -q start/ | 13:16 |
| chesty | it might fix it | 13:17 |
| esc_phr34k | thanks champ will give it a go | 13:17 |
| esc_phr34k | much appreciate ur time | 13:17 |
| chesty | no worries, night | 13:17 |
| esc_phr34k | night | 13:17 |
